Canuck crusader reaches *

uw by Iain Anderson ImprintStaff ‘The action (Jim Taylor has) taken as an individual is more valuable than any number of official speeches that could be made;” - Brian Mulroney in a letter to Jim Taylor, 9/12/91. A Toronto trucker is showing all of Canada what grass roots action can do for a national problem. Jim Taylor is tired of the ill-will portrayed in the media concerning the membership of Quebec in Canada, and wants to show that others share his feelings. Taylor is erecting billboards along the highways of Quebec bearing his message of “Mon Canada Comprend Le Quebec/My Canada Includes Quebec” and having thousands of people from across Canada sign . them. A ‘They are all ordinary Canadians like me who want Quebec to stay in

Canada,” he said. As of Wednesday,

when two of the billboards were on display in the Campus Centre to be signed by University of Waterloo students, over 80,000 people had signed on. Taylor has been collecting signatures since

Waste reduction heats UD at UW by Iain Anderson Imprint staff Ontario’s Waste Reduction Action Plan (OWRAP) announced on February 21,1991, by the Minister of the Environment, is now becoming a reality at the University of Waterloo. Under the careful guidance of Patty Cook, Waterloo’s Waste Management Co-ordinator, the goal of 25 per cent reduction in waste by 1992 is well within reach. “So many people are involved in this and are going in the same direction, that it is not going to be a problem,” Cook said. The idea is to reduce the overall amount of waste actually sent to landfill sights. “I really believe people will begin to save the environment only if they are genuinely concerned, or if they feel guilty about it, or if they are legislated,” Cook commented. She is pleased with the legislation and enjoys the challenge her job of implementing it presents. The immediate goal of 25 per cent reduction is being put into effect by a three part plan. The first part is the Waste Audits which begin informally next week

Everyone from custodians to lJlant Operations will be visually inspecting the garbage produced by Waterloo. They will be trying to determine the volume of waste that goes out and the volume that is actually recycled. In August, Waterloo students will be taking all garbage out of representative buildings to examining it and actually weigh it. This will be done as part of an environmental science course offered at Waterloo. “The weight of garbage is actually more important than the volume,” said Cook. The second part of the plan caiIs for the formulation of a Reduction Work Plan. In this, specific areas which can cut waste reduction must be identified. Plans on how to cut the waste and increase recycling must be stated. The third part is the implementation of a source separation plan. This is expected to be completed in 1993. “The University already has programs like this. in place, so all that is called for is an improvement in certain areas,” said Cook. Cook also envisions school policy reflecting the goals of this legislation.

Things such as buying paper with a amount of recycled minimum material will be affected. The long-term goal is to cut the waste sent to landfills by 50 per cent in the year 2000. The University of Waterloo has also entered an annual provincewide environment competition with all Universities from across Ontario involved. The criteria for the competition are: total waste being sent to the landfill, total waste being sent away to be recycled, and energy use in residences. The purpose for the competition is to promote energy consciousness in University students as a way of life. A trial run is set to be held this month. All students’ are encouraged to do their small bit which is the basis of any large results. By becoming involved, students can help move society from one that deals with waste management to one that deals with resource management. ‘For tiore information on the competition, contact the Public Issues Board in the Federation of Students, ext. 4042.

the fall of 1991. The campaign started in Eastern Canada and is now moving across Qdario into fhe West. Response so far has been very positive. Taylor is tired of the media jump ing all over negative incidents involving Quebec and the rest of Canada. He wants to give them something positive to talk about instead. Helping Taylor in his campaign is a group of volunteers who ako believe in a united Canada. It is a nonpartisan organization of concerned citizens from a diverse cross-section of Canadian society. Its sole purpose is to ‘%elp Taylor continue to promote goodwill from all Canadians, from all regions, and to support the continued within inclusion of Quebec Canada.”

If you did not g&t a ,chance to sign the billboards, but would like the opportunity to support Taylor in his campaign, donations can be sent to: Jim Taylor c/o Box 206 238 Davenport Road Toronto, -Ontario M5R lJ6

East Food Drive Challenge from the Public Issues hard Are you sick of hearing recession news? Are you feeling as if the whole problem is larger than life? Well, there is something that you can do to help the situation. The Public Issues Board is sponsoring an Easter Food Drive Challenge. Between Monday, March 23 and Friday, March 27, you can drop off non-perishable items off at bins near your student society offices or the Turnkey Desk. And now for the challenge: our goal is to receive one item of food from each student and faculty member at the university. Total pieces of food will be counted daily and at the end of the week, the most community-minded faculty will be revealed. Also, all administrative and support staff are encouraged to participate as your donations will be gratefully accepted. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. This is an umbrella agency which distributes food staples to different organizations, which in turn provide services such as soup kitchens and food hampers. As weil as serving emergency relief, the Food Bank also sponsors programs which are designed to empower citizens to supply their own food in an economical way. One

of these programs is Collective Kitchens: groups of families buy food in bulk and cook together, which is not only cheaper, but also provides nutritious meals. Another program is Community Gardening where citizens plant, grow, harvest, and preserve vegetables in order to have an economical supply throughout the year. People are giving more than ever to the Food Bank. Last year, it received the highest amount of donations per capita of any such facility in Canada. Unfortunately, the number of people in need of these services is increasing. Last summer, supplies got so low that the warehouse actually run out of food. This year, supplies are down again. Therefop, initiatives such as food drives are now even more critical. So, bring one item, bring five items . . . come out and make a difference! Here’s what is needed: protein foods, like canned meat and fish, pork and beans, macaroni and cheese, rice and pasta, peanut butter, and powdered milk; and other foods, such as tinned vegetables, soups, and fruits; jam and honey; baby food; flour, sugar, and cooking needs. Bring the food to the boxes near your student society office or to the Turnkey Desk next .week

Teaching German to University of W&m100 studen& & not em&v he ideal holiday, but exchange teacher Syhia Matzkowski doesn’t mind. “It (the exchange) is considered a vacation by German school officials,” the 3%year-old Matzkowski said in a recent interview. She has taught Russian and German languages to high school students at the Nikolai Bersarin Schule in East Germany for eight years and is current1y finishing an eight-month stay in Kitchener. The teaching opportunity at UWs Fine Arts faculty, department cif Gennan/Skwic languages, allowed Matzkowski to maintain her high schooi teaching job in Berlin, visit Canada and learn North American English. “When learning a language, you should contact people and listen to native speakers and have the possibility to see how they live” Matzkowski said. Although there are, Iots of opportunities to learn European languages in East Germany, there are few to learn English. Matzkowski paid her own airfare to Canada so she could teach; the German government and UW pay her salary to live during the exchange period.

Oktoberfest;..a badj&e? ‘iJ was surprised to find myself in a place where German Canadians are quite a part of Canada and the population” Matzkowski said. “When I was told there was going to be an Oktoberfest in the fall, I thought ?s this a bad joke’.”

“I remember seeing elderly German people nmning around in liederhosen and I couldn’t take them seriously because Berlin is Americanized.” “In Berlin you could hardIy find anybody that would celebrate old German traditions and wear Geman-Style Cloths. There are SOme places in northern Germany that would look at wearing oId-style clothing as an insult, but in southern Ger-

many, it would be okay.” Matzkowski said cities such as Berlin and Kitchener-Waterloo have similarities such as a fast-paced life, single people and a lot of business. “There are workaholics and desp&ate people and they don;‘t care much about old German traditions and culture. When I saw how Canadians celebrated Oktoberfest I realized I had to disconnect the view German Canadians have traditional Germany and current Germany” Matzkowski said. The current name-change debate between local interest groups and city council to return Kitchener’s name to Berlin is also similar to name-change

yvu can’t eliminate history Although it’s important to understand what and why people believe what they do, the ultimate reason for change should be because it is reasonable. “Currently in Germany, the German government is taking away a lot of street signs and statues” Matzkowski said. ‘They do it so thoroughly that the piece of history doesn’t exist anymore. This hap pened when the Nazis came to power. They changed names to pee ple they thought should be honored” Matzkowski said. “Now the same process is happening again.” ‘You can’t eliminate and clean history like this. It’s immature to change names this way.” Matzkowski was born in Leipzig, a city of 500,000 south of Berlin. L.eip zig is an industrial city, and trade centre where the east and west of Germany have traded goods and supplies for hundreds of years. ‘That was back when trading determined the’character of a town” Matzkowski said. “The inner city of Leipzig features buildings from the 15th and 16th century.” However, because of the westernization of Leipzig, the city now resembles any other North American city where people are more concerned with their lifestyle than traditions, Matzkowski said. “There are fast food restaurants aI1 over the place.” Before the wal1 came down in December of 1989, East Berlin enjoyed special status over the rural communities because foods, clothing and goods were more plentiful in what Matzkowski calls; “East Berlin, the shop window of East Getiany.”

yFe$<’ & Northfield Dr.)

In the rural areas, entire regions relied on one or two specified industries and when the wall came down, whole regions suffered the results of massive change. Some rural communities were almost destroyed because of massive unemployment, while others have managed better. However, Matzkowski warns, “against generalizing” any issue whether it be the renaming of Kitchener or honoring someone with a place named after them because change for the sake of change is not reasonable for everyone involved in society. Change in east and west Germany has affected everyone differently, Matzkowski said, ‘There is improvement and decay in all this change.

Appeals continue

by Dave Thomson imprintstaff Two University of Waterloo undergraduate students, Sue Forrest and Paul Done, are appealing to the University of Waterloo’s Board of Governors to, in effect, declare the Student Life Centre (SLC) referendum invalid. In their 60-page submission dated March 16, 1992, Forrest and Done have asked the Board to not ratify changes to students’ tuition fee statements because they believe that both the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) and SLC referenda were not properly run by the Waterloo Federation of Students, and consequently not representative of students’ opinions. Earlier this year, a majority of Waterloo students voted to support both the SLC and OFS initiatives by the Federation of Students in separate referenda, which have been plagued with inconsistencies and alleged violations of the Federation’s policies and corporate by-laws. Forrest and Done had appealed to the Federation of Students’ Board of Directors earlier this year to declare both referenda null and void, alleging

that numerous by-law and policy violations had occurred, but the Board chose to ratify them. They are now appealing to the University’s Board of Governors because “we feel that in no way can the results of either referenda be conrepresentative of UW sidered students, given the magnitude and pervasive nature of these aberrations.” “The Federation’s Board of Directors doesn’t have the necessary understanding of their by-laws and policies to grasp the severity of the charges we’ve made against them,” said Done, “and the Board of Governors is our final recourse.” Five appendices that are attached to the students’ submission contain copies of Imprint’s coverage of the issue, appeals filed with the Federation of Students, responses from the Federation, a statement by the Federation’s lawyer, minutes of various meetings and other related correspondence. The two students will be presenting their case in person to the Board of Governors Executive Committee at their next meeting on March 24, and to the entire Board of Governors on Apd 7.

team back from Ottawa

A team from the University of Waterloo placed third in a snooker and nine-ball tournament at the University of Ottawa last weekend. Hal Hughes and Charles Tsang won the men’s doubles, while Edward Ho had the highest break of 60 points also beating a personal best. Ho also came in third for men’s singles, Tony Wong placed fourth in the singles competition. JSA pleased with turnout On Monday, March 9, the Waterloo Jewish Students Association hosted Israel Day in the Campus Centre. The event was a great success and everyone involved had a good time. Additionally, over one hundred falafels were sold, raising more than $200 to support efforts to free Syrian Jews being denied basic human rights and freedoms. The JSA would like to thank everyone who participated and express special appreciation for the efforts of the Turnkeys and the audio-visual folks. Himalayas

No 2nd term for George by 1ai.n Anderson Imprint staff The University of Waterloo will be a very different place come June 30, 1993. That is the day that Doug Wright finishes his second and last term as UW’s president and, as of last Tuesday, it is also the day that UW’s vice-president, academic and provost Alan George will complete his term. These are the top two positions in UW’s administrative hierarchy. “As you know, the Nominating committee for the Vice-President Academic & Provost recently conducted a poll of various constiluenties regarding whether I should be appointed to a second term,” wrote

George in a campus-wide memo. “I received the results of that poll this past weekend, “After reviewing those results, I have concluded that I do not have sufficient support to remain a candidate for reappointment. Accordingly, I have informed the President, as Chair of the Nominating Committee, that I do not wish to be considered for appointment to a second term.” The University now has to launch two full-scale searches to fill the void left by Wright and George (Wright was not eligible for reappointment, while George was). It is rare that the two positions should become open at the same time. In

the

past,

presidents

have

assumed different responsibilities in the running of the university. The style of the president defines the role of the vice-president. Will the new president be someone concerned with internal management of the university, or will they be someone who spends time and effort off catnpus, such as lobbying the govemment, raising corporate funds, or trying to influence the direction of scientific and industrial development in Canada? All of these factors will affect the type of person needed in the vicepresidency, but they cannot be known until a new president is chosen This presents a difficult dilem for the nominating cornmiftee to deal with.

Successful rhetors by Jennifer Didio Imprint staff The University of Waterloo’s debating team put in an impressive showing‘ at this past weekend’s National Debating Championships, held at the University of Western Ontario. Waterloo’s debaters received both individual and team recognition for their excellent perforrn3rhPPC Mark Weber and Rahul Gangolli, the University’s ‘A’ team, placed fourth out of 54 teams from across Canada. Weber and Gangolli lost their semi-finals match against the team from University of Toronto which would later go on to win the National title for the second year in a row. “U of T is always a strong team, but we’re looking forward to getting another shot at them some time soon,” said Gangolli. In the individual debater rankings, Weber placed sixth out of the 108 competitors and GangoK followed close behind in eighth place. “The debating team is extremely pleased with their performance and

there’s alot of potential for the team in the future because each member is getting stronger,” Gangolli said. Running concurrently with the debating competition was the national public speaking competition. After three preliminary rounds and a public finals, Weber was named the winner of the 1992 National Debating Championships public speaking competition. Another Waterloo team, Irit Printz and Eugene Dimitriou, received recognition for their 15th place finish at the tournament.

The UVV debating team first began in 1981 and is organized and run by the students with no faculty involvement. Waterloo’s reputation as a team to beat has grown significantly during this past year with impressive results at King’s College and Hart House invitational to.umaments, as well as the North Americans and Nationals. Weber, Gangolli, and the rest of the club are lookina forward to even better results invthe 1992/93 school year.

fireside chat4 by Peter Brown Last week, I wrote on the topic of health care, arguing that the ethics of the medical profession and the principles of the capitalist free market system are antithetical. I’ll go a bit farther out on a limb this week and say that those same capitalistic principles have infected North American society in many more important ways than just the health care system. The capitalistic ideal of the individual, of the self, have led us to express all matlers in economic terms, to break down life into costs and benefits, with an eye to minimizing the former and maximizing the latter. We, as individuals, want to maximize our freedom, pleasure, and personal rights - what we get out of life - while minimizing the restrictions and responsibitities that may be entailed in those freedoms - what we have to give up. This tendency surfaces in many controversial issues today: an easy example being cross-border shopping. Those of us who rush to Buffalo to save money on clothing, stereo equipment, gasoline, or cartons of cigarettes admittedly do so because those rrleas:lrabte items cost less there than here. Et? cclrriplain bitterly about the GST, the PST, ant other economic and government-induced reasons for the price of similar goods being more here. But upon returning from the US with the station wagon toaded down with cheaply-gotten booty, to the community in which we have not spent that money, we continue to expect the same benefits that being a member of that community provides. Sounds like I’m a protectionist, right? To an extent. But first, let’s talk about America: In its history, Canada has displayed a more collectivisl ideal than has the United States. Canadians are typically more willing to defer to authority, to the state, than are Americans. Onto this spectrum of collective rights versus individual rights, political labels of left and right have been grafted. But the lines that separate these labels are fading every day, as ideology is reduced to pragmatism. In the US, the great protector of individual rights and of the free market system, protectionism is the political colour of the day. Under free market forces, Americans are just buying too many Japanese products, with cars being the most visible of those. Thus, American proponents and, now, benefactors of the Canada/US free trade deal are calling for gasp! - government intervention in the forms of tariffs on Japanese products. In fact, Japan is the Willie Horton of the ‘92 federal elections in the States; many Americans will be voting based primarily on the economic foreign poticy of the candidates. HOW is alt of this related? Again, Americans, like us, want benefits without co%. They want the American-built car to be the most competitive product in its market simply because they say it is. They want to be able to change with tariffs a situation that the free market has

Dominating in typical male fashion Two issues have recently come to the fore of my consciousness, the first being a catalyst for the second. While attending an “Images of Women in the Media” workshop at a conference of various peace and social justice groups, I was struck by the misconceived view that some people have of the media. As I was one of few males at the workshop, my raising of an objection to this media misconception quickly turned the whole situation into a gender relations debate. The sorry fact is that the point I tried to make about the nature of the media was not received because I am male. Some women presumed that because I disagreed with the female workshop leader on her conception of media, I was necessarily not agreeing with her stand on sexism and female objectification in the media. Not only that, but I was obscuring the rea1 issue and dominating the discussion in typical male fashion. My concern with the media stems from the popular conception of “the media” as an abstract entity out there that objectifies and discriminates against women - that it does something to us as opposed to our having any influences over it. This view is, simpiy, a misconception. I do not deny that women have been treated unfairly within the media, but we cannot say by the media. What’s the difference you wonder? By saying by the media we are denying the whole human dimension that creates and dissemintes information “through” the media. Every paper, television station, and magazine is run by people (Imprint being no exception). Therefore, in order to change the way women are portrayed in the media, we must change the attitudes of people, especially those that work

allowed. Remember, of course, that SO do we. Canada’s car manufacturing sector is joined at the hip with that of the US and, as the people in Oshawa wil I tell you, Ontario’s economy contains the core of the link. What does this debate boil down to? Basically, I don’t like cross-border shopping because it hurts our merchants and takes much-needed tax revenue away from the government. At thesame time, Idon’t think that I shoutd have to buy a North American-buill car simply because I am a North American. I suppose I suffer from the same opposing forces of humanism and economics as all of us. I want the freedom to buy what I want, but the societal benefits of Canadians keeping their money in the country.

with the media. l

Certainly the media is a medium for the perpetuation of female-object stereotypes, but as long as we focus solely on “the media” as the problem, and not every sexist person that utilizes that media or supports those who

do, change will be slow coming. As for the gender relations debate that arose from my poorly received point, every individual has a right to say what he or she feels, unfettered by her or his gender. Of course, it so happened that I was not heard by some females because I am male. In another situation, the opposite might happen. In fact, this is w5at many women are saying: thatin our culture, group dynamics allow for men to state their opinion and interrupt or talk down any woman that ties to express her opinion. If this is true, and I believe that it is, men must be sensitive to their domineering actions and allow women to talk without interrupting or silencing them. However, women must also respect men’s opinions and not presume that they are purposefully trying to silence women by stating them. If a man is making a valid point, women must see past his penis and recognize him as simply an individual with an opinion, no more no less.

Taken to a larger scale, we can see the relations between men and women in the feminist movement. If women reject men in feminism, then they are not only being sexist, but are perpetuating the hurt men feel for their involuntary socialization into a dominating role. What about the hurt women have experienced from being dominated? In the same way that a man expressing his sole opinion does not deny the opinion of women, expressing the hurt men feel does not deny the hurt of women. If women deny men’s feelings and refuse to take any responsibility for them, they are simply adding to the problem. Likewise for men of women’s feelings. If anyone is truly interested in reconciliation between the sexes, they will see past gender and accept people as individuals with needs, hurts, and opinions. That is my opinion, take it or leave it - but don’t leave it because of my penis. Ken Bryson

To the editor,

The annual winter fest celebration, WinterThaw 1992, was held March 3-7. The event was a great success. WinterThaw hosted an Art Show and Sale in the Campus Centre that ran from Tuesday until Thursday. The show included 40 works of art from 18 University of Waterloo students. Congratulations to the winners of the contest. Several sales were made from the show. Thanks to the Faculty of Arts and the Creative Arts Board for their assistance in presenting these samples of student work. On Thursday night, WinterThaw rocked in the Bombshelter. A Band Bash was held giving student bands the opportunity to play and to win prizes. The winning band, Forward Children, will be performing at The Bombshelter on Friday, April 3 between Mike Something’s sets in the afternoon. Thank you to the BEnt staff and A01 for their assistance. Friday evening’s events started at midnight with an All-Night Broomball Tournament. Everyone had a great time. Special thanks to Coke and Food Services for the refreshments and prizes. Thank you to all of the people who helped with the tournament. Keeping with the sports, WinterThaw organized a Ball Hockey Tournament on Saturday. Thank you to all the players who came out. Lunch for the tournament waas provided by Schneider’s and prizes were donated by Amstel and Durango. Thank you to the referees and the Bombshelter staff for all of their work with the lunch and cleanUP* AIso on Saturday, WinterThaw wrapped up the week with a Dart tournament in the ‘Shelter. Thank you Paul for running it so efficiently. Later Saturday night, there were Hot Tubs and a Polar Plunge for the brave souls at The Bombshelter. Prizes for the Polar Plunge were donated by Labatt’s. Thank you Chuck and Mike from Fed Hall for a11your hard work. The Waiters Race, originally scheduled for March 2, was held last Monday night. Waiters from the Bombshelter and Fed Hall defeated teams from WiIf’s and The Turret. Thank you to Wilfrid Laurier racers for being such gracious losers. Molson Canadian sponsored the event. Thank you to all those who came out and participated in the various events. We hope everyone had fun. Supervisors and the Larry, the Bombshelter staff deserve a great big thank you for alI the extra work they did to make WinterThaw a great success. The organizing committee did an excellent job. Thank you: Adam, Chris, Denise, Jean, Jodi, Kim, Krysten, Marni, Michelle, Monica, Nancy, Rose, Sebastien, and Sue. It was a job well done!

An open letter to the Federation of Students, present and future. About four years ago, I received a letter from the editors of Online 89, informing me that two of my poems were to appear in that year’s journal. It was the first time I had ever submitted anything to any publication. The acceptance of those two poems encouraged me to keep writing. Whether or not you like what I write is not important, because I believe the fact that I am still writing is. I feel that I owe a great deal to the encouragement I have received from Online in the past, and from Phoenix Magazine today. I have very strong feeling about government bodies tampering with artistic projects because of budgetary restraints, after the fact of production has been assumed. Nor does a seti-interested bureaucracy assuming autocratic control over a project serve the best interests of that project. Too many cooks in the kitchen throwing the baby out with the snowstorm, or something like that. I would not suggest indiscriminate cutbacks in the budgets of athletic or social institutions on this campus because I know littie or nothing about them. I do know that I have paid my fair share of compulsive fees to systems I choose not to use. But I have never proposed stopping others from playing football or hockey or skating or playing volleyball because I don’t understand why they do it. Nor have I ever heard it proposed that a sports team be shut down for losing. Maybe if we chanelled next years budget for athletic prott3ctors into promoting artistic develop ment on this campus we would come up with both winning teams and a stronger artistic community. Stopping the publication of the student literary journal: would be the equivalent of closing the Pat building of many students. I seriously hope that future administrations show the same foresight that the current one has in choosing to continue this publication. Unlike sports heros who get sidelined over t;me, writers, poets and photographers tend to improve with practice, contributing their talents to the community long after they have finished university. But like sports heros, we can also claim them as our alumni Phoenix Magazine is my hockey team, my football team, my weightroom, by subsidized beer hall. After the game, instead of curling up with a beer, curl up with a Phoenix, or maybe a beer and a Phoenix. Every member of this university community can take as much pride in this magazine as they do in the rest of what makes Waterloo a unique place to study. Phoenix rose from the ashes of Online, and with time and encouragement it can only rise higher. Shirley Moore, Tamara Knezic, Lindsay Stewart and Clint Turcotte did a brilliant job of editing this year’s volume for you, their fellow students. I hope it inspires both those who were published and those who weren’t to keep writing. and stands as a goal to shoot for next year.

It is apparent that the reason you don’t want to hear about the women’s dance is because there will be no penis-bearing humanoids in attendance, and this bothers you. This means that. . . you aren’t invited, we won’t miss you and we don’t care if you don’t care to hear about it. Get the point? A. dyke

Sandy

rifice both common sense and journalistic integrity. From up there, in the Ivory tower, things obviously look different. Human suffering is reduced to a matter for the intellectual masturbation of ambitious kids with a ticket to ride. Well consider me out of the game. Write on Sandy. But don’t distort the words of those of us who continue to care about what happens to those people who are, for you, mere figures on a graph in some “Reaganomics” text book.

In the way of an example, let’s compare a sentence in my article to one in your om in which you c&m to have set me-straight. You quote me as having said that the US “has the world’$ highest infant mortality rates” and then, correctly, point out the error of such a

in your

editorial (Imprint; March 13/92) you claim that my letter (“Goodwill Health Man”, Imprint; Feb. ?8/92) was “too flawed to ignore”, and yet, Sandy, you have done just that. To be sure, you have, in fact, twisted, misread and, often, completely overlooked much . of what I was saying

My congrat&tions for having delivered, yet another, blow to the old straw man, Sandy. This time, you have one-upped yourself by pinning my name on the poor sod, and then letting him have it. However, what I actually said was “they have a considerably higher infant mortality rate” (than that of Canada) and that with regard to such health indicators “they are beginning to resemble a third world country”. Now Sandy, there it is in black and white, As anyone can see, this is hardly a matter of a subtle discrepancy. If you consult your research sources with as much care as that with which you looked over, and overlooked, the text of my letter than the great chasm that appears between the “facts” and your erroneous conclusions are, at least partly, explained. On a more serious note, I greatly resent the injustice of being misrepresented in such fashion, whether it be out of maIice or incompetence, and would put it to you, Mr. Atwal, that you are, in spite of your claims, in no position to instruct me with regard to the matter of proper research methods. Now, as for your claim that I failed to put forward any new arguments, you are perhaps partly right. I felt that it was of a higher priority to ask you, first, to defend yours, and that is your responsibility. After all, you did write

Truth or dare To the editor,

You challenged the argument that privatized medicine neglects the needs of the poor with an absurd reference to a sociologically ridiculous opinion about the greater efficiency of “goodwill” and “United Way” to deal with poverty in this country. In your defence you simply reiterate that position. Well Sandy most people would agree that such foolishness is not worth two printings. Perhaps the problem here is one of perspective. I do not know from where you have come, Mr. Atwal, how much of the real world you have seen, or from where you have seen it. And 1am not particular1y interested in reading an auto-biography. But I would submit that, whatever your experience of the world has been, from where you sit now, the stuff of which the real world is made appears somewhat two dimensional. From where you sit, authentic discourse involving we “ridiculous . egalitarian(s)” is rendered unthinkable. From where you sit, the question of human misery, and social injustice is an abstraction, beyond consideration. From where you sit, the worlds pressing and painful truths are wrapped up in self serving denial. I asked- you, I challenged you, to provide me with evidence to counter my historically grounded claim that, under a socialized medical system, income becomes less of a factor in the overall level of health among the poor, and all you can offer is the ridiculous suggestion that the American statistics are skewed because bIack people have a collective drug problem? What can I say? Better luck next time, Sandy? I wanted you to respond to my point and you provide me with a statistical argument that leaps headlong across intervening variables and makes connections and assumes causality in a fashion at which even the infamous Dr. Rushton would scoff! Sandy, in case you haven’t noticed, black people make up a large portion of America’s poor. You can’t simply brush them aside in your attempt to respond to a challenge to look at the relationship between poverty and health. It’s as though you have said; “If we get rid of the nagging problem of actual poor people, I can convince you that privatized medicine is just as good at treating the poor”. And yes, Sandy, I would like to see such a source that would verify your claim that drug addiction accounts for a large enough portion of the overall infant mortality figures among low-income Americans as to significantly skti the stats regarding quality of health care service to the 40 million people in that coun-

I am writing once again on the topic of choice and opinion. In March 13th’s Imprint, both Paul Zamora and Martin Bruin wrote on the topic and both made the claim that a belief in freedom of opinion invalidates the concepts of right and wrong and is therefore fal1acious. Both stated that through reason and wisdom we can come to a better understanding of the Truth. Both Martin and Paul accuse me of saying (in my letter of March 6th) that all opinions are equal, then conclude that such a statement implies there can be no right or wrong (and so therefore the statement is wrong), What I said was that all opinions areptentidy equal: “For all we know, (so and so) may be right”. If an opinion is poteddv right then it is in a indeterminate state until proven one way or the other. It may be right and it may be wrong, but this indeterminance does not invalidate the concepts of right and wrong themselves. Belief comes into play when we cannot prove an opinion, but we prefer to act as if it were true anyway. In my opinion, morality is always a belief. I’m not saying that our moral beliefs may have none of the objective Truth in them - just that without external evidence we can never be sure. I did not suggest in my previous letter that we cannot see the Truth - I only suggest that we cannot see it perfectly. Since no one can see Truth perfectly, I believe no one is in a position to impose their perceptions of it on anyone else. However, we all do live as if our opinions are correct and it would be impossible for us to function otherwise. I think, though, that we have to recognise our opinions for what they are: only opinions. We can act on them and that might serve US well for a long time, but some day we might real&e they are in error. When we make such a discovery I think it is up to us to search for a better opinion to replace the old one. One of the reasons I am so opposed to Paul’s and Martin’s contention that we can know objective Truth is because this attitude so often leads to intolerance, paternalism, and condescension. Objective Truths are correct in and of themselves and they need no justification. The Ten Commandments are considered objective Truths and as such offer no explanation They are not open to discussion; they are True and that is that. This kind of presumption is fine for the Word of God (if you’re a Christian or Jew), but is the utmost arrogance for the word of anyone else. When you know the TRUTH you only have to listen to anyone else in order to show him or her how he or she is in error. This is how Hitler couId so easily gas millions - he knew the TRUTH and that was that. I see a similar attitude to a lesser degree on both sides of many debates and such certainty always temifies me. Hitler is an easy example, though - such extreme points of view always are. Obviously Hitler didn’t submit himself to wisdom, didn’t seek out the Truth. we may have an imperfect view of Truth, but even with this limited view we can see that Hitler’s beliefs didn’t corres-

8 Imprint, Friday, March 20, 1@2 will tell you. A vegetarian or an extreme pacifist will tell you a different story. Back to wisdom. I’m sure Martin and Paul will be surprised to learn that I have submitted myself to wisdom. I’ve studied long and hard about ethics, philosophy, theology, and so on. I like to think I’ve kept an open mind, but 1 seem to have some up with a radically different world view than Martin and Paul. I guess I’m just not wise enough - or maybe it’s possible that one can study, and learn, and understand, and just come up with different answers. Am I right? I like to think so, but of course I make no pretensions to knowing the TRUTH and so I can’t say for sure. If Martin and Paul are so sure we can somehow sense an objective Truth, them I challenge them to demonstrate. Show us even a single instance where we can observe objective morality at work free of the influence of subjective human interpretation and belief. I’m almost certain they can’t do it.

’ The pros and.cons of radical feminism by Alison

Horton

It is truly not a wonder that various feminist types are referred to as hysterical, bitchy, uptight, or mad, as Gretchen Zimmerman so forcefully put it in her article for the International Women’s Day Rag. I would like to put this question to Gretchen - is she truly crusading for equality or for the bashing of all men? Anger, as she puts it, is good. But it is unfortunate that Gretchen does not realize that anger can, for the most part, be effective if presented constructively. Ranting and raving rarely gets one’s point across. It instead shuts listeners off to what is being reflected upon That is not to say that ail women should shut their mouths and take it, but hurling your point at people does conjure up the image of a hysterical, bitchy, uptight, mad-person. I believe, fervently, that I am a feminist. One tiho advocates the granting of the same social political, and economic rights to further equality for women. But equality, in my eyes, is the key and was the original goal of the women’s movement. Equality cavot be achieved by attacking the other side in a savage manner. Radical feminism is just as detrimental as anti-feminism. Both attack the opposite sex, in a less than rspectful manner. A guest speaker ‘ graced my ,first-year English CUSS this term with a lecture in reference to a novel by Jeanette Winterson caned Sating the Cherty The lecturer stressed the typical female stereotypes of our society. It WilS tru1y unfortunate however, that she,

the speaker, could not present her point without compIete1y biasing her arguments to her own advantage. This was done to the extent that the listener begins to wonder: are all men really assholes? And is equality something she’d even consider? This woman’s argument was not only presented in a manner that was @-i-male but also anti-feminine. I felt that because I shave, wear make-up and perfume that I’m doing it for all the men in Kitchener-Waterloo and outlying areas. No, I do it for myself - and 1 don’t think that I should be blackballed for it. Maybe such crusaders simply do not respect the individua1’s choice. By inflicting their volatile nature upon others in such a one-sided format,such radicals are simply asking for attack

GretchenTspreferred rtmting and raving is

not cfmtructive - and to be referred to as Gretchen so astuteiy put it in her apparently self-titled arti-. cle. This radical feminist speaker also appeared to neglect the fact that there are and always will be basic, fundamental differences between the sexualityof males and females (refer to any first-year physiology text). Such feminists must begin to accept these facts, for they cannot be changed -aside from surgical options. I do not understand why such women feel that we as females should dress like men, smell like men, and act like men in

order to be heard effectively. Accepting and accentuating our femininity is only a deterrent to the women’s movement if we do so, in order to ‘better” loved and ultimately allow ourselves to be subservient to men. I would also like to add that this speaker shared with our class a sweet anecdote to demonstrate how she fights for the female race. One day, as she was entering a building, a man made the fatal mistake of holding a door open for her. She then promptly chose to enter through the other, unopened door, receiving this kind gesture as if he was implying that she, as a female, was too weak to open it for herself. This man then in turn referred to her as a bitch, I say hooray to that man. I hold doors open for both sexes - not because one is weaker, stronger, shorter, taller, fatter, or s1immer but instead as an act of courtesy toward my fellow woman or man. I would have called her a bitch too if she/he acted so ignorantly toward my kind gesture. In summation, I would like to refer to Gretchen’s point that all “women must make their rage heard in whatever manner they see as appropriate.” Maybe the more radical feminists in our already volatile world should determine which forms of argument are constructive and which are detrimental. Gretchen’s preferred ranting a!nd raving is not constructive. But I have faith, Gretchen, that one day you will understand this point when YOU find that you’re hurting the women’s movement rather than furthering it.

of one was to believe the media campaigns by our governments and the general air of paranoia on the airwaves, we would believe that AIDS has reached or is reaching epidemic proportions in Canada. We are told to cut the risk of getig AIDS by using a condom. We are reminded that we are sleeping with every partner our partner has ever had. In short, we are told that people who engage in heterosexual sex are in serioq danger of contracting AIDS every time they have sex. This contradicts the available facts. NO heterosexual AIDS epidemic exists and AIDS is of almost no risk to the majority of Canadians. Despite the media blitz aimed at the majority of us, there is no indication that AIDS should be of major concern to’ most Canadians.

AIDS. Of course, these are not facts that sell newspapers or ad time so they are politely ignored. The “AIDS will get everyone” message is a holocaust campaign that sells. The amount of money spent on AIDS research per person is the highest in Canada even. though a relatively small number of Canadians have it. One million three hundred thousand million people have diabetes, but onIy $350,000 per year is spent for diabetes research. There seems to be no relatiqn between money spent and the population that is endangered by the disease. There are serious dangers in overplaying the role of AIDS. The drug known as AZT was touted as a cure but ended up poisoning many people. Numbers relatig to AIDS seem to be pulled out of a hat. At first, the &k of a child getting AIDS from a mother who

never &eated a significant &npaign directed at the high-risk groups. In the words of MacPhail, it is as thou&h the government is more cdncerned about the heterosexuals and not offending sensibilities and will do so at the cost of homosexuals. One of the reasons a campaign isn’t directed at the high-risk groups is that it would offend traditional sensibilities. Lest we forget, it hasn’t been that long since television started using the word “condom.” The jump to such taboo topics as anal and oral sex seem% decades away. The excuses for alarming the population, while inventive, do not reflect the truth of the situation. The argument that awareness campaigns are the reason for low AIDS levels among heterosexuals doesn’t work simply because, by all standards of measuring response from an ad campaign, it is too early to tell. We don’t know if it’s working or not and won’t know until about 1995. Another reason that is cited as an excuse for the media misinformation about AIDS is that in some countries, such as Haiti and Thailand, AIDS is a heterosexual problem as well as a homosexual one. However, there are very good reasons for believing that AIDS will not become a problem in Canada based upon those countries. First of all, they have a terribly substandard health care system. The poor hygiene in those countries, as well as rampant intravenous drug use and widespread prostitution, are situations that simply do not exist in Canada and there is no reason to believe that they will occur any time soon, HIV is also suggested as the “real” number to look at since (so the argument goes) the number of individuals who have HIV could be 10 to 20 times the number of people who currently have AIDS. Although &-is is an oftquoted statistic, this is a position that is extremely difficult to back up. There is no reason to believe that the number of people with HIV is that high. In fact, some researchers say that the role of HIV is overplayed and could be only a minor factor contributing to

e money is going. AIDS is a deadly disease t&t has taken an unmeasurable toll in human lives - thereis no doubt about that. However, many of the facts that we have fly in the face of the massive nledia disinformation campaigns we have been subjert to. Outside of the high-risk groups, AIDS simply does not exist as a widespread’ problem. Kebping aware of this disease ‘is of course the responsibility of individuals; however, we have to .keep in perspective what the situation is and not what we are told by talking heads in our idiot boxes.

MEDIA SURFING The’ Shallowness of Deep

by Michael Bryson Imprint staff

Ecology

by I’Mlip

Chee

1 don’t like to use the word “environmentalism” to describe my philosophical and ideological view of what it is to be fully human in the rich sense of the word. 1 haven’t “bought” into the environmental culture as some paranoid critics may feel; one, “buying” reminds me too much of the, frankly, parasitic capitalistic mentality that has all but gutted society and the body politic; and Iwo - a COP ollary - environmentalism in its worst excesses resembles the commodity of ideas and g&s it purports to disdain. Ecological disaster will be the ultimate downfall of capitalism because, contrary to Marx, it will not breakdown of its own logic it works all too well within its own narrow logic of growth-profit-growth outside the more naturalistic logic of human society, whatever one means by society. There is a whole school of thought within the environmental movement, namely Deep Ecology, that seems to be a lightning rod, attracting a panoply of contradictory philosophy and mysticism. With its deep roots in southern. California, the mecca of environmental fundamentalism, it has coalesced into a paradoxical canon of well-meaning and a lot more dubious ideas. The Book, or the Word, of Deep Ecology is spelled out in a series of essays published in 1985 as Deep Ecologv: Living as YNuture Matt& by two US philosophers, Bill.&vuii and George &Mons. 1 abso&& agn?e that we rn~sl live m ifnature maltemd. But iet me expiain why this so-c&xi aophilosophy bothers me. I reud this book two yeurs ago and I must admit it introduced me to many issues related to environmentalism that I had not know befqreas a bioiogy student interested in ecology. What a. smoembord uf ideas: patriarchy, ecofeminkm. Cartesian world views, Thoreau, transcendentalism, Romanticism. reform& en vironmen-

tahn a la the Sierra Club, goddBs worship, pagan spirits. con temporary witches, Lao- Tzu, Taoism, Heidegger cleansed of his Nazi past, no eomprcrmbing with Dave Fon?man and Earth First!, and thinking like a tree, or Q rock, or a river. If Robert Bly had written Iron John much earlier than he did, it would have made the buffet table too. Murray Bookchin and the social ecologists get a mention, but ever since Bwkchin tried to pull the tablecloth from underneath the Deep Ecology banquet table, social ecology has joined the ranks of the “Untouchables” of discourse Iike leftism and liberalism. Well meaning, but dubious. Why? For one thing, it is reactionary. Asking human beings to consider themselves part of a biocentric democracy, where human needs and desires have as much consideration as every other non-human species, is a mockery ,of the true meaning of democracy as well as the negation of what it is to be distinctly human. It also reduces the problem of human differences into a homogeneous abstraction without gu0d reason. It effices from reality, common sense, and political consciousness - for I believe the personal is p@itical - the natural entity has evolved out of’ nature: human being, the ability to reason and abstract. To diminish this fad - call it a girt if you &ant - borders on misanthropy. But please, do not read into this that I am anthropocentric or consider humans to be the epitbme of Creation (I’m. an atheist), with a rightful place df dominion and domination over nature. Human beings, for better or worse, have something unique in titure that can be used creatively or destructively: rational thinking and symbol language and its concomitant expression in ttihnology and social institutions; And for us to live creatively in nature, as if nature mattered, but not at the expense of humanity, we require at the very least, an ecologically-oriented society.

“Fiction constitutes a way of lwking at the world. Therefore I will begin by considering how the world looks in what I think we may begin to call the contemporary post-realistic novel. Realistic fiction presupposed chronological time as the medium of a plotted narrative, an irreducible individual psyche as the subject of its characterization, and, above all, the ultimate, concrete reality of things as the object and rationale of its description. In the world of post-realism, however, all of these absolutes have become absolutely problema tic.” - Ronald Sukenick, The Death of the Novel (1949) When Rolling Stone published their twentieth anniversary greatest albums collection in 1987, the Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s Lone& Neclrts Club Band LP topped the list. First released on, June 1, 1967, 25 years ago this summer, that historic collection of ali-star pop serves as a mile&&e of the possibilities of what is essentially junk-music. . Or is it? Pop music still defies critical acceptance. It’s still generally considered music for- teenyboppers and the culturally unenlightened. Pop music, after all, is for the populous. It’s manufactured, a commodity. Real music comes from dead people, who played violin - or something worse. But 1 say the Beatles had talent! Classic rock radio has played a significant role in recent years in building up the rock and roll myth, celebr@-tg acts Iike the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Bob Dylan, oh yeah, and (I almost forgot) L+ed Zeppelin, but behind this core of cultural dinosaurs the dominant critical message that streams out of pop radio stations these days is that before

success comes corporate backing selling out, money. Integrity is a hard thing to hold on to when you’re thinking in terms of tens of millions of dollars. *

An explanation

of that quotation

of the

death of the novel:

Reality, paradoxically, is a slippery concept. Constructed out of words, it can be blown apart in a critical maelstrom, deconstructed as it were. Insofar as fiction is a construction of of experience, a reality - an illumination reflection of insight - reality exists as a subjective function, different for every person in every moment of time and space. And therein lies the danger of accepting the truth of any particular news report: the depiction of reality depicted by any particular newspaper has more to do with the editorial policy and opinion(s) of the writer and editors than with the events being reported. Reality in the media in a function of the culture’s power relations - race, gender, CklSS - a self-perpetuating paradigm, a socialconstruction that has muted our critical awareness and presupposed to be reality itself. Fiction, therefore, is (at least theoretically) reality; and reality, fiction. For example, Seveant Pepperj: presents a working model of reality, as did the Beatles’ career, if you consider their latent “all you need is love” philosophy as a self-enclosed entity. It is a fiction that presents a reality, creates a reality, just as we do every day of our lives, eating, drinking, waking, reading the signs of the universe all around us, pulling in the information we need to make sense of our lives and snap together our own subjective function of what is real and what is simply bullshit.

Global debt hurts poor by Bruce Fraser Student Christian

Movement

On Tuesday, March 3, Richard MacBride from the Global Community Centre spoke to a small but concerned group. of students about the impact of global debt, focusing specifically on women in Bolivia. The issue of global debt impacts on many levels which are’ not evident fr0rn.a purely financial point of view. The people hit hardest by global debt are not the ntling bodies or the wealthy elite. The people who bear the greatest burden of the debt crisis are those at the bottom, those already well below the poverty line. And this group is largely comprised of women and children. Segments from a film were shown in which Bolivian women commented on the effects of debt repayment policies prescribed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The two main pillars of these policies are: i) to increase exports of revenue-generating items and ii) to reduce internal spending. In simpler terms, this means i) growing and exporting more coffee, bananas, sugar, cotton or other cash crop, while ii) increasing prices for food and consumer goods by removing import duties, devaluing the currency and holding salalries at a fixed level. This has the effect of stating the poor who find that land which was once devoted to food production (for themselves to eat) is now converted to cash crop production (for people in other countries). Food and grain must then be imported at high costs. Since the policies regarding the reduction of internal spending were implemented in 1985, 42,000 factory workers have become unemployed, 62 per cent of the country’s industrial capacity is idle, the currency has been devalued 95 per cent, schools have become privatized, teachers’ salaries have been frozen below the poverty line, and 78,000 children have stopped going to school.

To the wome.n in Bolivia, this seems highly unfair, becau& they did not derive any benefit from the loans for which they are now suffering. The majority of the loans were spent on constructing high-rise buildings, hotels and roads, and starting up large coffee and sugar plantations. A large portion of these were personal loans given to government supporters. When the recipients inevitably defaulted on the loans, they were absorbed by the government. Characteristic of oppressed groups, the women were surprisingly knowledgeable about the policies of the IMF and government legislation designed to realize these policies. This knowledge is obtained in spite of a 27 per cent literacy rate for Bolivian women (46 per cent for men). One might argue that from an economic point of view, the IMF policies should be continued because they allow interest payments to be made and have a tendency to increase the GNP (a measure of the average income per person). However, an alternative argument can be made based solely on selfinterest. It has been estimdted that 130,000 Canadian jobs were lost in the 1980s due to decreased purchasing capacities of people in developing countries burdened by debt. It is estimated that an additional 180,000 jobs will be lost in the ’90s. Another factor to consider is the environment. Lumber and mining industries in third world countries significantly contribute to the removal of rain forests. It would be unjust for those of us in first world countries to tell the third world to stop cutting down their rain forests without removing the economic conditions which necessitate it. Export of iron is a key industry in Brazil and fits well into the debt reduction strategy. However, iron smelting operations are powered by the closest, cheapest energy supply: wood. Hence, we, in Canada, would be rather arrogant to think that what happens in Bolivia, or any other third world country, has

Tooth expert solves crimes by Sally Johnston Canadian Science News It was just a small bruise. Located above the left breast of the woman homicide victim, the circular mark almost went unnoticed during a pathologist’s examination. But that bruise proved a turning point in investigating the murder of the woman, who had been sexually assaulted and strangled. It eventually became key evidence that helped convict a suspect and put him behind bars. ‘?n sex crimes, a bruise on the breast is considered a bite until proved otherwise,” says David Sweet, a Vancouver-based consultant forensic odontologist - ‘a dental detective’ who worked on the case. ‘This turned out to be a hickey - a red mark made by biting and sucking” says Sweet, who is also a professor at the University of British Columbia. He and other forensic scientists were able to demonstrate that a pattern of indentations left around the outline of the bruise matched the teeth of a suspect being held by the

police. “It didn’t even get to trial. When we gave our evidence in a preliminary hearing, the guy decided to plead guilty,” recalls Sweet. In 1985, Sweet traded his family dental practice for the life of a detective, becoming one of just four certified forensic o&ntologists in Canada. Since then he has worked with police and other investigators on hundreds of cases, using his expert knowledge of teeth and jaws to identify crime and accident victims and to nail criminals. Bitemarks feature in 65 to 75 per cent of sexual homicides,

says Sweet. “Either

the per-

petrator bites the victim or vice versa,” he says. A bitemark can speak volumes about the person who inflicted it. “Teethmarks, like fingerprints, are different for everyone, explains Sweet. A bite leaves an impression of

the teeth, showing the size, shape, spacing and irregularities of a set of incisors and molars. Traces of saliva, left on the skin by the biter, also provide vital clues that can be interpreted by a forensic odontologist. “Eighty-five per cent of humans secrete chemicals called agglutinans in their saliva,” explains Sweet. When analyzed, these chemicals will identify the blood group of the person who did the biting. While a blood grouping alone is insufficient evidence for pinpointing a suspect, it is one extra “arrow to your bow in the investigation,” he says. “If you have a saliva sample from a bite that is blood group A and your suspect is blood group B, you can pretty confidently let him go.” While biting or kissing a victim, an assailant may also leave behind microscopic cells from the inner surface of his mouth. A forensic odontologist can collect these cells and subject them to DNA ‘fingerprinting’, comparing the unique genetic blueprint with biological samples from a suspect. Bites have helped collar hundreds of criminafs in North America since 1972, when a bitemark was first successfully used to convict a sex offender, says Sweet.k One US serial killer routinely left a ‘trademark’ bite on his victims, then filed his teeth after each murder to avoid identification. He was eventually caught - and executed - when he failed to file his teeth after his last murder. In a recent British Columbia case, a child killer was convicted when forensic odontolog-ists identified a bite mark on his hand as having been made by his three-year-old victim. Incriminating bitemarks can be found in unexpected places. 0ne killer was nabbed because he had a snack before leaving the home of his victim and left his teethmarks in a lump of cheese.

LIVE ON

or will have no effect on our lives. The only solution which can have any positive benefit to the people of Bolivia starts with eliminating the debt. Simply forgiving the debt is not the answer. This ‘would deny the fact that government corruption was responsible for the debt crisis. (This is not to say that the banks which lent the money during the ’70s are completely free of any responsibility.) Many viable alternatives have been proposed. The most promising of these are debt exchange projects which result in environmental prdgress and/or development. Such development should benefit the people directly. This can be done through a large number of small-scale projects in which the people who benefit have a direct role in setting up and operating them. Several highly successful programs are currently in existence.

In the end, more attention was paid to the Soviet sympathizers than to those who told the truth. It seemed as though the great cover-up would succeed. However, in the last decade or s0, researchers, professors, and journalists have made considerable efforts to extensively document and research this atrocity. With the death of the Soviet Union and the birth of new, democratic and independent states from the communist rubble, we can hope that the truth abut this famine and other crimes committed by the defunct Soviet Union will be told in all honesty so that they w never be repeated again This time, the West can play a vital role in actively supporting and aiding the independence of these states so that they will develop a humane, open and democratic political system, and that no state in the region will again attempt to levy its will upon another nation. 3

When someone mentions basketball at the University of Waterloo, the first person that comes to mind is not one of the many great athletes that it’s program has spawned, but its esteemed head coach Don McCrae. And now, it seems somewhat shocking yet inevitable, that after 21 illustrious years at the helm, Mr. Basketball is retiring. Over those years, he has built a program of national respectability with a cult following of Warrior faithful that have become among the loudest and most dedicated fans in Canada. From the sidelines, he works the players, the officials, the tempo of the game like a conductor controls a symphony, or a director controls a major musical. His insight, technical knowledge, and analysis of the game is unmatched in the coaching ranks of the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union. He is the winningest coach in CIAU basketball history with a career record of 461 wins and 250 losses, including a 72.3 winning percentage in league games. McCrae was honoured as CIAU coach of the year in 1985. completing his postAfter secondary education at the University of Western Ontario and l&Master University, M&rae landed a teaching job in the Waterloo County Board of Education and began coaching basketball. In the fall of 1971, he began coaching the Waterloo Warriors men’s basketball team and never looked back. Among the accolades are 12 OUAA West Division pennants, six eight provincial championships, CIAU appearances, and seven CIAU medals (one gold, four silver, and two bronze). He has coached 26 OUAA first-team all-stars, 12 All-Canadians, and three CIAU MVP’s.

“T;heNuismith has beenoneof the

big highlights” McCrae will continue his duties as co-ordinator of the men% interuniversity progratis. He will expand the co-ordination of the parttime coaches due to the increased leve! of sophistication in Waterloo’s 16 men’s sports. Also, with two new athletic facilities in the plans, McCrae will be working very closely with the architects and campus groups in the design, layout, contents, etc. Sighting stress or ‘burnout’as only one of the factors in his decision to quit basketball, McCrae puts his decision into a proper perspective. ‘It’s aIways a difficult decision to change what you’re doing. That’s a part of life. The problems began to occur following the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles (near the end of his eight-year tenure as head coach for Canada’s national women’s basketball team). I would coach the women’s team all summer and then come back to Waterloo to coach the men’s team in the winter.” Coaching 12 months of basketball every year for eight years really took its toll on McCrae. However, his energy rejuvenated for a while after dropping the Olympic coaching reigns, but he confesses that the last few years have- been somewhat gruelling. “People talk about stiess and burnout, but I don’t know what that is,” said McCrae. “I’m,not sure but 1 think that I have, let’s say, participated in it. If any of that was present, then the requirement to have to go down in that gym every day and arouse young

McRae never

‘It will take a while for Waterloo fans to get used to the absence of Mr. Basketball on the sidelines. Could we perhaps have seen Don McCrae in a different career over the past ,3O. years? “When 1 was young, sports was my love and basketball was the game I really focused on. AS 1 Was going through some fairly elite -play, I didn’t think the coachtig was what it could be.” ’

lacked intensity.

players with enthusiasm is almost a contradiction. To do that day in and day out leaves you very fatigued.” As coach of the r@ional women’s team, McCrae won ,three gold, one silver, and seven bronze medals in 18 tournaments. In his playing days, McCrae was a tiember of Canada’s national team that participated in the 1960 Olympivs in Rome.

Over the course of his illustrious career, McCrae can recall many highlights. But he stressed that when involved with athletes who are trying to achieve goals, a coach should not remember games as much as they should remember individuals in everyday life situations. There have been many traumas and many exciting things over the years. The death of one of the basketball Warriors all-time most prolific scorers, Mike Moser, remains foremost as McCrae’s biggest trauma. Moser’s sudden death came during an exhibition tournament in Florida in 1975. McCrae has many interesting highlights to reminisce about, including some that show a different perspective. “Watching young individuals change and develop from freshmen into seniors has always been one of the most interesting aspects of coaching at this university. I try to remind athletes that this can be the happiest time of their lives. They are now old enough to really understand what they can get out of something that they do well. Before they know it, the time is gone.” “In terms of the games, I think the Naismith Classic year in and year out has been one of the real big highlights. Over the 21 years, our teams had great success in the Naismith. Whether it was connected with Homecoming or not, it was always a tremendous party atmosphere. The fans seemed to really catch on and have a good time.” The Warrior Band was another highlightin McCrae’s eyes, particularly at the Naismith. “The basketball team got a lot of press and a lot of publicity over the years but 1’m not too sure if we ever got more than the Warrior Band. The Warrior Band, with their particular ability to enjoy the moment and not harass people, stood out as one of the really charming aspects of games.”

Photo by CD. Coulas Wtidoubtedly, thk biggest highlight in McCrae’s career had to be the waning seconds victory over Manitoba, 80-79, on March 9, 1975 at the University of Waterloo to win his first and only national championship. “There were four seconds to go ys scored,” recalls and one of our McCrae. ‘The p-r ayers and fans went nuts, a.nd I remember bolting out of my seat to get a hold of everybody to play the four seconds that were left. It was one of the games I do remember because we were undefeated that year.“‘Waterloo finished 25-O against CIAU teams. The Warriors had come off a tremendous game the night before in which St. Mary’s,had held the ball for the opening ten minutes and the score was still O-O. It was the biggest crowd ever at the PAC. The curtains covering the windows in the four corners of the gym had to be opened to allow the more than sold-out crowd a chance to see the game. UW won that game in a rout, 70-46. “It was a late game and our players were so wound up from the win that I don’t think anyone had any sleep. So now comes the championship game and we were down by as much as eight points with six minutes to go. I said to assistant ct>ach Court Heinbuch that this looked like the biggest tragedy of the year. We took a timeout and a fan way back up yelled ‘Come on Waterloo! It’s not over yet!’ and our players said ‘They’re cracking. We can take ‘em.’ and we did.”

In his 21 years at Waterloo, McCrae several changes in thz style of the game, some good, some bad. “It is difficult for me to say this because I like to remember. the old players, but if you coach for long enough, you can measure and recall the past to the present. Everybody is bigger, faster, and better.” “One of the unfortunate things that has happened to the game is the presence of the shot clock. It is designed to take the stall out of the gamy. But the game has changed now into a semi-press zone two-pass offence. PIayers go down the floor and only get to handle the ball once, and that wasn’t the intention of introducing

has noticed

the shot clock It is now a lost art to run continuity and timing plays. To me, the 45-second clock satisfies the things that the clock was supposed to do and also the essence of the game+“ When asked about the future of basketball in Canada, McCrae had a bright outlook for Waterloo. “One of the things that pleases me a lot is I leave this team and the cupboard is full. This is a young team and a team of the future. The next coach is going to have an exciting time with these eager athletes. This year we had a real mixed result, the season went up and down. We tried to find positions for some players and struggled with that all year. But one thing that stood ground all year long was that these guys wouldn’t surrender, they wouldn’t give up.

There has been a lot of debate in recent years about offering athletic scholarships to recruits in order to prevent Canada’s best talent from going to the pot of gold that is the US to play their college years. ‘We have students and student athletes that may or may not go to university because of financial limitations,” explains McCrae. ‘If these students could be assisted in one way or another, we would all find that very desirable. But to say that that would eliminate all the problems, I would say no. Other problems will occur with abuses at that level.” McCrae might not be able to keep himself away from coaching forever. The opportunity to do clinics and summer camps will arise. “One of the things that I have got to determine. is whether or not to continue to enrich myself in the game. As the game goes on and the game changes, I don’t think I want to just close the door on it. And when you’ve specialized and worked so hard in an area, to suddenly close the door and no longer enrich yourself in it is an error.” .

There are several individual performances that McCrae remembers, including * Mike Moser scoring Waterloo’s last 17 consecutive points to beat St. Mary’s in the Naismith Championship 72-70 in November of 1974. He also remembers Moser scoring 53 points in a CIAU runnerup game against St. George Williams (now Concordia). Another fond memory was when Peter Savich scored with four seconds left to give the Warriors a one-point victory, 73-72 and p+ them into the national finals against Victoria at Waterloo in 1986.

“Here to have a good time” could sufficiently sum up the atmosphere in the Bombshelter on Friday the 13th. There to perform a second time, to a very receptive crowd, was the energetic ska band King Apparatus. For anyone who has previously seen them playing live, it’s obvious that ska is growing in popularity. Not only did they have a sold-out show, but they got first-time viewers to come out and become intoxicatingly mesmerized by the music. Few people appeared to be restless or bored once the band sauntered on stage and ska music began to waft over the audience, bringing them to “life.” King Apparatus keptthe crowd active, especially, the people upfront around the stage. The place to be for crashing and smashing into your neighbour - was the skanking dance floor area. As the energetic vibes spread, with each undulating backbeat, there was a stronger connection or communication between the band and the crowd. As the songs were personably introduced and everyone was encouraged to have fun, the band members appeared to be very friendly and inviting. The first time that BEnt hired this relatively unknown band, in November 1991, they took on a risky venture because most of us missed this type of Jamaican-Rock music in the early ’80s. However, it proved to be a successful undertaking. ,’

Likewise, this concert showed that people are searching to find new and intuitive forms of music. Slca reached an all-new high; with King Apparatus using much versatility to revamp new and used songs into a brand of reggae-rock-dance all their own. Due to a somewhat limited market, they had to doubly impress by trying to get everyone’s attention. They did

smaller song compilation still available to the public. Some of the best so&, which got the greatest reception, were cover songs with a twist - such as the Specials’“Enjoy Yourself,” the Violent Femmes’ ‘Blister In The Sun,” and several UB40 doing Bob Marley cover songs. The length of show, two sets in total plus a final encore (with a break in between), was quite impressive. The audience got quite a work-out tying to keep up with the band. The crowd took some time to recover from the heat of the lights and the non-stop dancing. Near the end of the eventful night, they played “Hospital Waiting Room,” a remade version of “Wooley Bully,” and their own video song “Made For TV.” Closing the performance with last call quickly approaching, there seemed to be a resurgence of energy, as the band taunted the crowd by saying “Don’t wimp out on us now!” King Apparatus managed to do an exceptional show, although they were plagued with some bad luck such as a band member’s illness. They atso seemed to be restricted by the small stage and, although the dance floor was also limited in space, people found room. Possibly because of the slam-dancing!? All was well that ended well, and most everyone seemed satisfied with the performance. They have the ability and talent to theatrically entertain as well. With young creative minds, they have the capability to explode onto the large music scene: all they need is the opportunity. Maybe their carnival-type concert, coming up tonight at the Skydome, will be the opening they need. Now just remember, whenever you get fed up with the same-old, mainstream rap, house, rock, etc., to tune into this cool and now not-so obscure form of all-encompassing music - SKA. by Heather Mumay special to Imprint Last November I saw King Apparatus at the Bombshelter - I’d only really heard them for the first

time that summer, but I was struck by one thing: their sheer energy (no, not the Nylons, that’s another group). Alas, I was unprepared and did my ankle some serious damage - it still hurts sometimes. But worse than that, they went unreviewed in Imprint. One photo, no article. Hopefully, this will make up for that omission. The band started with “StumbIing” and the floor immediately became a pit. Four songs in, they finally played the title song from their self-titled album (risking redundancy, but a risk worth taking), and the crowd was jumping. I’ve never seen a tighter band in my life; they had the whole pub moving and showed no signs of ever letting up when, right after JoAnnsv Too Bad, they left the stage to deal with some vague ‘difficulties’ which 1 was later told was an intense migraine suffered by the drummer. He had been dealing with it since the beginning of the show and finally needed a pain killer. The stamina and dedication that must have taken really struck me: this was a very professional band. They weren’t gone for long, and returned with even more vitality than before. Singer Chris Murray bounded all over the stage, and never actually stopped moving (“How does he do that?” was the constant question floating through those at their tables), and the rest of the group WAS always right there with him - not a band and its leader, but a single entity. They eventually ended their set with “Buy Our Stuff,“after which they persuaded% to buy their stuff (so all of our friends would think that we were realIy cool). The second set started with “NonStop Drinking” - my personal King Apparatus favourite - and it only got better from there. They were a powerhouse; the slamming and skanking in the pit got more intense, and some of the less devout felt the need to find a seat at this point, while still others were drawn into the horde. One thing about the show that might have really annoyed me if 1 hadn’t been enjoying myself so much was the fact that their stage performance didn’t vary much from their own studio recordings. I tend to like variety in my live shows, although I must admit that their version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Fire” was almost unrecognizable as a song made hmous by The Pointer Sisters. They kept going for another hour, without mercy. When we thought we could take no more, they would start again, not only with their own songs, but with covers of everyone from Bad Manners to Elvis Costello. And with such standards as “Lorraine,” ‘Monkey Man,” ‘“Too Much Pressure,” and “Concrete Jungle” (the last two were played in the encore with their own ‘Heartless”), the concert proved to be a perfect introduction to the &a scene for newcomers. King Apparatus are a bunch of serious musicians who can let themselves go - they haven’t given in to the pressures of corporate rock, and they give their all. If you haven’t seen them yet, you haven’t truly seen what Canadian music has to offer. My only question is, how will they outdo themselves the next time around? If you’re smart, you11 come out when they hit Waterloo again and find out.

Sloti were always possessed by the feral desire to smash songs into pieces. Circle C aren’t. There are ten songs on their LP: rock songs: odd rock songs.

Vocalist Jeff Heiskell remains another of the Bats’ distinguishing features. Besides his appealing Southern twang, he’s blessed with a truly great set of pipes.

The Panhandlers defy description by Peter Brown Eutpcint staff It’s comforting to know that not all bands that found their genesis at the University of Waterloo are synthesized, techno-pop boredom. The Panhandlers, a group of local artists who made it onto last Friday’s Bombshelter ticket, are finding new and different ways of expressing acoustic music. Scott Marratto (guitaq lead vocals), Vanessa Slack (vocals), Michelle Cameron (vocals), and Michael Busseri (bass, keyboards, vocals), Don Featherstone (saxophone, bass), d and Andrew MacPherson (percus-

sion) make up this band whose members, althou& being Toronto-based, met while studying at UW. Featherstone and MacPherson couldn’t make the Bomber set, but the remaining four rocked and grooved throu& a set of jazz and folkinflueimcl songs expressing the band’s interest in social justice

well as the occasibnal coffee house, ever since. They had exactly two weeks to learn 20 songs to prepare for their first gig at the Cabana Room. Their first recorded track actually dates back to April, ‘91, called “Stop This Train.” This song, and four others, have made their way onto a demo tape that the band hopes to see pan out to a saleable release, They’ve played the Commercial Tavern in Maryhill, the Cabana Room and Sneaky Dee’s in Toronto, and Don Cherry’s in Waterloo (that’s right, the night the Jays won the division last year). And they are looking to book as many dates in Toropto this summer as they can.

Oops! I said it! The F-word. I promised the band that I would not use the word folk h thii review, but in my defence, Slack has just discovered CSNY. The Panhandlers formed last Mav and have been playing in bars 61 Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo, as

Although they cite descriptions of their sound as “urban acoustic” or “progressive fok” they stress that they want to avoid labels. As Scott Marratto put it, the only real label to which they aspire is that they are decidedly acoustic in their sound, tith a. big emphasis on vocals and lyrics. “We like to write about things that don’t make their way into pop music,” Marratto says. ‘We want to deal with experience, not fantasy.” They list their influences with reluctance, as they don’t wish to be subsumed in the swirling maelstrom of the folkie black hole. Spirit of the West, U2, and Gregory Hoskins and

the Stick People, and Andrew Cash alI make their all-star list. “Rebellion was the popular thing in the ‘~OS, and now it is the norm,” says Marratto. *‘We want to put some of that challenge back into music and spark some critical thinking.” The Panhandlers will be playing at Sneaky Dee’s on March 26 and the Cabana Room on April 3. Between those shows, they will perform live on CKMS’ FM Magazine show on March 27 at 4:30 pm and at an Amnesty International coffee house at the Huether Hotel on March 28. This summer, they11 be appearing at the Hillside Festival in Guelph.

by Ken Bryson Imprint staff

Their firststep was to change the format of the magazine to incorporate short prose, photography, graffiti, and creative non-fiction, a11 complementing the traditional poetry. The addition of these genres to the book makes it more accessible to the greater university audience and enhances its form. As for the content of Phvcwiq * whatever is bothering you is likely bothering one of UW’s artist/poets and you’ll likely be able to relate that is if you can understand what they mean. One aspect of HIOL~HLYthat

pulls it toward mediocrity is the overly personal base of some of the pieces; the general audience simply can’t grasp the meaning because they weren’t there when the poet was inspired. Sure, we can scrap together a meaning and be somewhat sure of it, but obscure metaphors (“my/our.. . fecundal religion”) unfortunately mar any clarity and appreciation we might derive. Then again, since when does the true value of art rest on my pehonal interpretation or criticism? I didn’t get some of the poems, but maybe you will. Striving for an upbeat book, in other words trying to avoid the typical student life/love angst, Moore and Knezic have collected a variety of works that reflect many experiences. Of particular note are Phillip Chee’s

phenomenological “Oikos 13: the Naturalist,” and Teresa Lantz’s temporal twist to Virginia Woolf’s room with “Spider Wish.” Less serious, yet still praiseworthy, are the laundro-fantasy “don’t forget the fabric softener” by Lindsay Price and the untitled ode to Air Wairs by Kerry Bock. Winners under the gender-conscious category are the fashionably femminist “Accessory” by Rochelle Martin and Anne Lumley’s vivid response to Stormin’ Norman and his boys with “Cleavage.” For the Ero-lit fan in you, turn to Michelle D’Allesandro’s “Erotic Brainstorm” and Darlene SpenSer’s “The Image,” both of which are iransformed from sex into erotica (if there really is a difference) by their intimate climaxes . . . uh . . .

Phoenix: A Celebration of Writing univemiy uf WQrerluu srudenrs

Far be it for me to assert that all poetry must advance humanity or further some ideal of progress, but I must admit that I’m a littte disappointed with what students on this campus are choosing to write about. On first glance, this year’s student forum for creative writing PhUeHix, seems to be dominated by sex and feminism. Is it really true that students only think of sex and domination? Well no, luckily some of the less sensational verse and prose in Phoenix does find its way out of the pages and the book is redeemed. Facing an impending Federation of Students budget trim that would see Phoenix go the way of the OFS, editon Shirley Moore and Tarnara Knezic were challeneed with making: this crop of poetry&d art both ai artistic and a monetary success. Although we can safely say that good art has nothing to do with how much money it is worth, the Feds had them by the pen and they had to comply.

Kaldors repertoire consistently features her sultry contralto; lyrics pour forth, wave upon heartfelt wave. Live, Kaldor projects a theatrical dimension to her music absent from her recordings (before dedicating herself to music, Kaldor worked with Theatre Passe Muraille, a Canadian avant-garde theatre company, after obtaining a degree in drama). Although a ten-year veteran of European and North American folk festivals, Canadian Kaldor has not been widely known at home. Her recent one-hour television special “A Warm Prairies Night” has probably done more to raise awareness of Kaldor’s talents than remarkable past achievements; Kaldor was the highest profile performer at Expo ‘86; , at the 1985 Juno’s she was nominated

Sunday afternoon I left the Wilson Cup (where I was extremely overdressed) and trekked across campus in very cold temperaturesto see Full Swing. It started at 2:30 pm and finished at 5, two and a half hours of what the dance department is all about. Each of the three act& displayed the skills of the dancers, the unique talents and originality of their choreography and each was equally exciting to watch.

The first piece got the show flowing with a m&em ballet entitled “Get Yourself Together,” which was choreographed by Cairine McKiilop, who also ass&ted in the production of the concert. The second piece was a classical ballet challenging the dancers skills with technical steps and movements.

Imprint:TeiZ me about the Beirdos. Do you guys stick to this type ofzany peer-

DND schools there. It was a blast Imprint: I guess if you ‘ve been doing

this for I3 years, yuu must be having a pretty good time with it.

MacDonald:

Yeah, well we’ve been moving up. For a long time we were just playing clubs, you know, Walkerton, Hanover, all those places, but we had all these weird private gigs on the side, which were a lot more fun. So, about six years ago, the club scene was driving me nuts, bemuse they want to book you a year in advance, and all that control stuff. I said to Glen,

“We

gotta

get

out

this,

because if I’m going to be here a year from now, I might as well be working in a factory.” Now, we can pretty much pick our own gigs.

to be interesting. We try harh to be different, if only so that we can stay fresh. I’d rather do something more interesting and make less money than do the same old stuff.

Imprint: Do you luok @ward to playing the Bombshelter every year? MacDonald: Yes, because we can loosen up,a bit. You pretty much know your audience. We toned it down a little after Glen fell off the stage at WC1 one time, but we can generally let loose on campus. We can pretty much jump around to our hearts’ content. The

Beirdos

can

sometimes

caught at Ruby’s, the Waterloo IM’S nightclub, To quote ,MacDonaId, ‘We’re everywhere.” So catch them wwle you can. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

Rhymeor reason? Slowpoke Poetry Reading Rt rple Turtle, Kitchew Sunday, March 15

by Michael Bryson Imprint staff Last Sunday from 3 pm to midnight, the Purple Turtle hosted the first annual Slowpoke Reading featuring “celebrities and nobodies reading original works and performing acoustic music.” Organized by Upside-Down Productions, the event was scheduled to coincide with last week’s Phoenix book launch, the Federation of Student’s annual journal of student wlitings. The celebrities on the bill, though probably unknown to the vast majority of the public at large, included Greg Cook, the University of Waterloo’s writer-in-residence, who read selected poems as well as from the play he wrote with his brother during his soon to be completed stay at Waterloo, and Bruce Bond, the writer-in-residence at Wiid Laker, who read some of his poems too. Also appearing were a number of people involved in the production of

Phoenix, inch~dig the publication’s two editors Shirley Moore and the publication’s Tammy Knezic, assistant editor Clint Turcotte, and contributing editor Lindsay Stewart. Stewart, Moore, and Knezic read selections of their own poetry and fiction, while Turcotte reah so$e poems and also accompanied himself on guitar to some w&-received original songs, mostly in a Lcnard CohenLou Reed vein. Other readers and players included Greg Stanley, a local singersongwriter and Bob Dylan fanatic. He can be seen regularly at the Old English Parlour in Watedoo. Roland, Hoeffer told of his psychotic distemper and problematic genius in a story about Oscar Wilde, Vincent Van Gogh, and “someone very much like” himself. Mark Stevenson read of his early life spent in Liverpool, Edmund Chow of love lost and found. Dan Loehndorf read a chapter of his upcoming novel, a tale about the split personality of a garbage can. And Jim McAuliffe entertained and offended the crowd with his overtly gratuitous ‘“raks of a Phone Sex Viigin.” Michael Bq&n also read. Lmk for the second annual production next year at the same time.
