Prof helps in murder trial A University of Waterloo kinesiology professor maybe asked to travel to Italy to provide expert testimony at the murder trial of Canadian-born hockey player Jimmy Boni. Pat Bishop, former head of kinesiology at Waterloo, has been appproached by the Boni family and could be contacted by the lawyers representing Boni in the coming weeks. Boni is facing possible murder charges in the death of Miran Schrott, 19, during an Italian league game last January. Boni struck Schrott in the chest with his stick after the player punched hi in the head. S&&t collapsed on the ice and died moments later. Buni was told by authorities last Friday that he will be charged

with premeditated murder and could face up to 18 years in prison. As of press time however, no charges have yet been laid. Bishop is an expert in hockey equipment testing and safety, specializing in helmets and face protectors. He has indicated he would travel to Italy to testify for Boni if necessary. “We are in the process of making measurements in the lab,” Bishop said. He is preparing a report in case he should be asked to give his opinion of the incident. In Bishop’s view, the reason that Boni is facing possible murder charges as a result of an incident that happens with scary regularity in Canada is that “the game of hockey is viewed differently in Italy than it is here,” In Canada, the game has evolved to the point where it is common for players to retaliate with their sticks. “It is a game that we

accept, rightly or wrongly.” a An autopsy was performed on the player, but it proved inconclusive in determining a cause of death. Bishop has been sent avid-tape of the incident, but says it would not be prudent to draw any conclusions at the present time, There are still a number of factors that are not yet clear, like the possibility the player was taking medication for epilepsy. According to Bishop, there have been no reported cases of comparable incidents in Canada. In the United States, however, there are similar circumstances of “little league players in baseball being hit in the chest with a ball and dying.” He is currently in the process of researching these incidents to find if there are any similarities with what happened to Schrott. “I hope that the case doesn’t &tually come to a trial, but if it does I hope we can make a difference.”

As a result of these violations of the Act, a majority of turnkeys sent a statement to associate provos t for student affairs Peter Hopkins and acting campus centre manager Jonathan Sweet on May 25,1992. “It has come to our attention that thereare certaincampuscentre policies operatiQna1 that appear to be in violation of the Ontario Employment Standards Act,” the statement read. “Our goal is to ensure that there are no illegal policies that can be used unfairly against the part-time staff at the university.” l B o t h t h e c a m p u s centre m a n ager and the turnkeys areemployed by the University of Waterloo ,and are under the jurisdiction of the associate provost for student affairs. Hopkins’ initial response was to bring the turnkeys’ grievances to the attention of the university’s personnel department, which confirmed that the University of Waterloo was in contravention of both the Employment Standards Act and the Ontario Labour Code. Hopkins subsequently decided to act upon thecomplaintsby formingtwocommittens to examine the different aspects and extent of the problems. The management processcommittee had four turnkeys and three full-time university staff sitting on it: campus centre manager Ann Simpson, acting campus centre manager Jonathan Sweet, and Peter Hopkins. It had the mandate of addressing “a wide variety of operating concerns” such as hiring standards and pay rates among other topics, according to Hopkins. The Employment Standards Committee is charged with examining “how UW complies to the Employment Standards Act as of Novetir 199l”accordingtoa June 4,1992 memorandum by Hopkins.

Hobkins was unavailable fir cornme&, but staff relations coordinator Katrina Maugham told Imprint that Hopkins thought it would improve the process, since he gets not only the recommendations but also the benefit of hearing both sides of the issue. One grievance resolved without any committees was the one which served as a catalyst for the University to examine its procedures for employing part-time students: the issue of reimbursement for attending mandatory staff meetings without pay. On July 28,1992, Hopkins sent a memo to turnkeys stating that “. +. the university will reimburse all current turnkeys for meetings which they have attended over the past two years and for which minutes or attendance records are available at their present rate of pay.” Turnkeys won’t be reimbursed for their coerced volunteer work, however, because “there is no paper trail from which the University could substantiate participation in volunteer committee work,” said Hopkins in the memo. Afinalsetofrecommendations produced by the managementprocess committee were drawn up by staff relations coordinator Katrina Maugham, after consulting other members of the (management process) committee. Among the four pages of retommend&tions, the turnkeys are primarily concerned with the qnes recommending the imposition of a six-term limit for employment, and a substantially lower wage. Victoros said that although the adminIstration%

Controversy erupted outside the Campus Centre early Tuesday afternoon when an American preacher made an unapproved appearance before a handful of passing students. The man identified himself as “Bf&her Jim,” a& amateur preacher from the United States. For approximately 20 minutes, he held court on the lawn between the Campus Centre and the Math and Computer building. He warned his impromptu audience that university students are among the high-riskgroups for “going to Hell.” He also singled out homosexuals, “rock and roll freaks,” a n d “evil women’slibber feminists.” When a female onlooker informed the man that he was trespassing, he replied “Oh, you silly woman.” Noting that the woman was smoking, he said “The nice tine , must be clouding your brain” and then asktid her if she was “one of those feminist women’s libbers.” “Brother Jim,” also referred to Dan Quayle as “the best Senator to ever come out of Indiana.” He then compared Bill and Hilary Clinton to the Biblical figures of Ahab and Jezebel. (Jezebel was su$posedly a wicked woman whodominated her husband.) When two campus police offic_-ers arrived and escorted the man tiway, his associate “Sister Pat” remained behind to debate theology with a small grmp,of amused and/ or annoyed students.

T h e s t u d e n t s , w h o a r e being treated to a jam-packed three-day schedule including guest speakers, plebiscites, and parties, are being encouraged tobecomefamiliar with oneanother. Inaccordancewith that spirit of solidarity-building, Label, has been placed in charge of ensuring that the conference is bilingual, so that the representatives from Universite Lava1 and Universitk de Mont&al are accommodated.

UW part of New World Order Up to 150 university students across Canada are expected to attend an international relations symposiumcalled Canada and the New World 0rder:Youth Perspectives, in Ottawa on October 5,1992. . Through student-chaired discussions and expert guests, the conference offers y o u t h s a n o p p o r t u nity to analyse critical issues in economics and trade, foreign policy, media, political culture, and sustainable development, a press release from UW’s Centre on Foreign Policy and Federalism says. “ D e m o g r a p h e r s and pollsters concurthatmembersoftheso-called ‘Generation X’ perceive the world differently - in motifs more private,pragmatic,andcomplex-t& their baby-boomer counterparts,” says the press release. The one-day conference is cosponsored by W’s Centre on Foreign Policy and Federalism, External Affairs, and International Trade Canada, along with the Canadian InstituteofIntemationalAffairsand includes former NDP leader Ed Broadbent, and Secretary of State Barbara McDougall as guest speakers. Registration costs are $40 per person.

For each of us, life has its simple moments and its complex ones. But if you’re D a n Q u a y l e , t h e s e c o m m o n variations explode into positively child-Ii ke simplicity and gut-wrenching complexity. There must be moments of challenge that make Dan Quayle feel like a kid lost in a really big mall. Sunday morning, I witnessed one of these. Quayle was a guest on ABC’s This Week with David Brinkley, where his intellectual PT boat was surrounded by a aircraft carrier task force comprised of Brinkley, Sam Donaldson, and George Will. The reactions of the three panelists to the vice-president were widely different and interesting. Brinkley, the senior statesman of ABC’s news division and content in his position as the show’s host, introduced some topics and broke for commercials. His normally active role seemed sadly to be intimidated by the trinket of a celebrity on his set. Will, being an incisive and demanding journalist, was concise and poignant in introducing topics that would challenge Quayle to enunciate the Republican platform a vice-president’s place in it. However, Will, also being a celebrated. conservative columnist, didn’t dig a fraction as deep as he would have while questioning a Democratic candidate. qonaldson was the only one of the three with any integrity or guts as he treated Quayle as a journalist should treat a #man with Quayle’s obvious ability: he tore him to shreds. Will was left to look uncomfortable as the questions that he should have asked were asked by Donaldson instead. A typical exchaoge went something iike this: “One plank of the Republican platform is that abortion should be banned,” said Donaldson, “Is it true that you personally disagree with this policy?” “Sam,” said the vice-prex, “I don’t think it’s a matter of whether I agree with it or not. I think that the question should be ” “Excuse me, vice-president. W i t h all due respect, the question is mine. You may refuse to answer the question, but you cannot tell me what the question is,” responded Donaldson. Of course, it is the job of every politician to answer only the questions that he or she wishes to and to direct the course of discussion or questioning toward issues that he or she deems important. But, a basic criterion of competence in a politician, whether or not we fall on their ideological side of the fence, is that they can perform this kind of discourse control with some finesse. By this criterion, Quayle is a failure and an incompetent. With the wide, moist eyes of a deer frozen in car headlights on a country road, Quayle gulped nervously as he tried time and ag&n to divert the nature of Donaldson’s questioning to the “gridlocked Congress’* and “family values.” But Donaldson was relentless. He refused to let Quayle direct the course of the interview, and instead pelted Quayle with questions about his own draft eligibility and whether military service was a prerequisite for the office of president. It is clear that Dan Quayle, along with the rednecked Phil Gramm, embodies the hoty principles of democracy with more accuracy than m o s t politicians: his intellectual shallown$ss and ideological cowardice mirrors that of his constituency. He is truly their representative. l

A random tale of a math frosh H2OLO2, Wateltloo. At least, that’s how it was written at the back of our classroom. Now, don’t ask me how chemish-y became involved with OAC calculus: we’re not supposed to be able to answer such questions. What mysterious spell brought me here? Another question that cannot be answered by mere mortal math students. Indeed, the hand of the Math Lord has been here, directing me to this place, co-existing with Arts, AI&y ES, Science, and Engineering, plus whatever other Faculties I’ve missed. I wish I had some words of wisdom to fill this page with; at the present moment, my mind is filled with images of Textbook acqusitions and Calculus equations, photo

lines, and Villagers lining up for the slaught - urn, I mean breakfast. University life certainly is overwhelming at first, Heck, it’s stilloverwhelming now. I’m sure the other Frosh at the other Faculties are adjusting as I am adjusting, but being one of the few Detroit Tiger Fans on campus does tend to dampen things. And speaking of dampen, nobody warned me about the water supply either. Well, complaints about the water supply notwithstanding, I find life here rather comfortable and enjoyable - better than I expetted. Then again, I haven’t had to cram for my first exam yet, so what do I know? (Nothing, I’m a math frosh - can’t you see “Supid

Fool” written across my face?) And speaking of “Stupid Fool,” this place seems a lot friendlier than my fears made it out to be. Even with the reassurances of professors and other students, most frosh view university as one step away from hell. At least, I did. I was scared of the place. Sure, I’m getting away from home, a chance t o m e e t n e w p e o p l e - but you still get scared going from sqmething you know to something you don’t. And I found the jump not as bad as I thought it would be. At least so far. It remains to be seen how long that lasts. In any case, here’s to the first week of university, and the Math Lord. (Sony, no C2H50H for me, thanks.)

An open letter to &h~ Leddy: D e a r john Leddy, Before you start breaking the ground for the construction of the new student centre and the recreation facility, please listen to my thoughts and ideas on the subject as I am one of the thousands of students funding this “improvement t o student life”. I a m e n t e r i n g my fourth year at UW a n d d u r i n g these past three years I have tried to a v o i d t h e p r e s e n t C a m p u s C e n t r e as much as possible. The CC is a great idea housed in a poorly designed building. Why propose to build another student centre and confuse students further? As it i s n o w , a lot of students at UW don’t even know what is available on the upper (second or fourth?) floor of CC! The CC is a MAZE of rooms on two,three, four(?) floors with too many stairways to count and no real signs to show where anything is located. Wouldn’t remodelling the present CC be a better way to spend student’s hard earned money rather than building a new centre? Wouldn’t it be better to accommodate all student life services in one convenient location? The basement of the CC is n o t bad although it could use more light and better access. It has the m o s t u s e f u l s e r v i c e s o f t h e whole CC and they are relatively easy to find. Almost everyone uses the bank, post office, and used book store. Having the record store, hair salon and campus shop close-by is also very convenient. It was great to see the bank redesigned last year to cut down on line-ups but they still tend to meld with line-ups for the used book store in September. An expansion of the used book store would be welcome by staff and

students alike! ’ T h e remainder of the C C n e e d s a m a j o r overhaul! I personally never choose to “lounge” in the Great Hall because it i s uncomfortable and the turnkeys choice of music is often not relaxing or pleasing to the ear! On the occasions that I have pass t h r o u g h t h e G r e a t H a l l , it d o e s n ’ t seem crowded or even busy so I do not understand the need for additional lounge facilities. I feel sorry for Scoops employees who are tucked way under the dark o v e r h a n g a t the edge of the Great Hall! The most used s e r v i c e o f t h e C C deserves better exposure. I think that the overhang should be eliminated by built in services such as Scoops or Graphix Factory. Does the Great Hall really need to be two stories high? Couldn’t the space be better used? . N e v e r m i n d t r y i n g t o find a n y o f t h e services on the second floor! All of the s t a i r w a y s l o o k a l i k e a n d n o n e o f the h a l l w a y s c o n n e c t . M o s t o f the s i g n s a r e t o o small and not well lit. I think that the s e c o n d f l o o r s h o u l d be expanded to take up the e n t i r e C C s o t h a t there is more space f o r c l u b r o o m s , games r o o m s , a n d television rooms. Graphix Factory, Sexuality Resource Centre, Student V o l u n t e e r C e n t r e , etc. should be more visible on the second floor while club rooms and Federation offices _should be on a higher floor so that the services students need most are close and within reach. I don’t even know ‘how many rooms are halfway between the basement and the Great Hall! Most of the rooms are for study but I know the Ombudsperson and the legal advise service are hidden there somewhere. Isn’t there some way to get rid of all those “caves” and ‘bring everything useful out in the open? I really don’t

understand the reason for the study rooms because we h a v e Dana Porter (all ten floors!), EMS, and the Optometry libraries plus the multitude of e m p t y c l a s s r o o m s in the Math Building to use for studying! I believe expansion and remodelling of the CC will easily house all of the student services you propose to fill the new centre such as a convenience store and drug counter. We already have a bank and a post office in CC so why do we need another especially w h e n t h e s e services are available in the University Plaza, a five minute walk away! Why do we need another cafeteria in the new centre; I haven’t noticed the Wild Duck Cafe e x a c t l y o v e r w h e l m e d b y b u s i n e s s ! ( plus we have several food services locations scattered across the campus) I think saving the green space between BC Mathews Hall and the Math Building is better than building another confusing student centre full of already-existing services. However, the new physical recreation f a c i l i t y I S a g o o d idea. T h e p r e s e n t o n e g y m is just not enough for a university of our size- C a m p u s Ret p r o g r a m s a r e a l w a y s f u l l an hour after registration! New gymnasiums and an indoor track or multi-purpose field plus club rooms and studios are what we need but do we really need another weight room when we already have two? I believe that the points I have raised are valid. Please review the present plans for a new student centre and physical recreation facility. Listen to the students’ voice because it is the students’ m o n e y t h a t i s being collected to fund these projects. Thanks for your time! Karen McCIinchey

The fresh and immediate to be found in Eden Mills by Pete Kloppenburg special to imprint I had b e g u n o f late t o w o n d e r whether the only culture available to a person these days in Central Ontario was the processed and packaged kind. The Princess Cinema these days i s s h o w i n g m o r e a n d m o r e Hollywood, and movies are a very passive kind of art appreciation. Stratford is so polished and well done, I might as well be w a t c h i n g television instead of seeing l i v e actors perform in front of me. My reading list had become so hopelessly long, also, that the very thought of starting a new b o o k w o u l d f i l l m e w i t h t h e k i n d of despair usually reserved for term papers and changing apartments. Having exhausted each of these possibilities in turn over the course of the summer, I had become understandably jaded in my search for something fresh and immediate. One can imagine my cautious hope when a friend told me of the Eden Mills Writer’s Festival taking place just south of Guelph. Held this past Sunday, September 13, on what turned out to be the I nicest day of an otherwise misbegotten s u m m e r , the festival started with both promise and a hint of foreboding. The list of authors was quite impressive, which I felt would save the day n o matter what, but there were shadows o f darker things afoot. Eden Mills looked at first glance to be a smaller, richer St. Jacobs w i t h o u t the M e n n o n i t e s . T h e p r o g r a m m e promised “gourmet and vegetarian f o o d available,” and there was a store in the heart of the village selling impossibly expensive pine f u r n i t u r e . S o o n m y fears

were realised, as Saabs and S u b a r u s a n d Volvos and Mercedes began to pour in and line the road: the Y u p p i e s h a d a r r i v e d . H o w s t u p i d , h o w naive I must have been to think this any more than a crass grab at the thirtysomething dollar. I felt cheated, and the first reading hadn’t even begun. At the small publishers stalls, I noticed an elderly gentleman who looked a l m o s t b u t n o t quite exactly like R o b e r t s o n Davies stiolling among fhe tables. A fitting symbol of the entire affair, I thought, a . humbug of a cultural event.

‘I Wanted: outgoing mother ffbr local l&my event. M-&t be lactating. fp And then the gathered writers began to read. The first session took place in quite possibly the most ideal setting one could imagine for poetry. At the back of an old hotel converted into someone’s home, wooden steps descended two stories onto a lush green lawn, which backed onto a g u r g l i n g s t r e a m . T h e m a k e s h i f t s t a g e was a p o r c h f r o m which the speakers read, and the audience below was flanked on either s i d e b y rock gardens. Jane Urquhart began with a wonderful pair of readings from a work in progress, and the audience was rapt. Derk Wynand broke the spell again with his poetry, which he read with

unnaturally drawn out syllables, and broke up with a light banter more suited to the l o c a l n e w s . But then came Di Brandt. S h e approached the microphone uneasily, and began an introduction in a voice so shaky I wondered if she’d be able to read Rer poems. But she was, and spoke of motherhood and sexuality with such vivid and intimate words that I felt compelled to buy one of her books, which she kindly signed for me. The gathered crowd, which at first seemed so pretentious and typical, were i n fact genuinely fascinated and appreciative o f t h e artists gathered. The writers, mostly little known or not known at all, mingled freely and enjoyed themselves as much as t h e i r a u d i e n c e . A woman sat nursing her baby unselfconsciously on her front step, and I thought “Wanted: outgoing mother for local literary event. Must be lactating,” but no, it rang true, all of it. A truly wonderful gathering took place, a n d e v e r y b o d y g a i n e d s o m e t h i n g from it, writer and reader alike. My only disappointment of the afternoon came at the midpoint o f the 24 authors’ readings. The winners of the accompanying literary contest for new writers were announced, and although the University of Guelph managed to muster two finalists, Waterloo had none. Nevertheless, congratulations

go out to

Compassionate Living

Cruelty-free shoppina by Noel Wulsman WPIRG volunteer

flagrantly inhumane experiments on animals. The Draize cosmetic toxicity tests - usually performed on guinea pigs and rabbits - involves placing huge populations of animals in holding devices, pouring chemical irritants in their eyes, and then forcibly closing their eyelids to study the effects, According to the Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products reference manual, a m o n g t h e substances frequently injected into the animals’ eyes are: “insecticides, antifreeze, brake fluid, bleaches, oven cleaners, hair sprays, paints and fire extinguishers.” Normally, these tests are applied repeatedly to the same creatures so that the harmful effects of prolonged exposure to various toxins can be examined. In another experiment, called the acute oral toxicity test or ‘LD50’, animals are force-fed non-edible products through tubes jammed down their throats. Usually, these tests are carried out for up to six months, if the animal is able survive that long. Besides suffering a painful death, the most common reactions to this process are vomiting, convulsions and internal bleeding. ’ These experiments are simply two of many tortuous ‘procedures’ that millions of animals are annually subjected to. While these procedures may provide data on how animals respond to insanely viscous abuse, they unfortunately offer very little clinical information applicable to humans. To read about these

There ‘presently exists a considerable amount of misunderstanding about what animal rights advocates or organizations are trying to achieve. The fundamental intent of people concerned with the welfare of animals is to eliminate the needless suffering and killing of animals for human gain. To do this; we need to rethink some of our common practices, and attempt to find new approaches to living. By choosing a lifestyle that does not promote cruelty to animals, a compassionate stance is taken that will ultimately benefit both the natural environment and its inhabitants. The move towards vegetarianism is widely seen as a way in which people can express their opposition to the mistreatment of animals in our society. While maintaining a meatless diet is one very positive step towards helping to eliminate cruelty, it is certainly not the only effort that can be made. Through developing an awareness of some of the products we use and avoiding those items t h a t perpetuate the grossly unfair abuse of animals, we can attempt to ensure that the consumer decisions we m a k e are both morally sound and ethically compassionate. Many of the personal hygiene, cosmetic, and cleaning products in common use today are the direct result of repetitive, unnecessary, and

standardized tests is to be sickened to the point of total revulsion. ’ One of the pathetic ironies surrounding these experiments is the utter senselessness of the entire process. Numerous alternative testing methods have been developed through which product researchers can examine the toxicity levels of their company’s items. Use of cell and tissue cultures, and computer modelling have completely rendered obsolete any of the economic or safety “justifications” so often used to rationalize animal experimentation. According to Gray Flamm, director of the Food and Drug Administration of Toxicology Sciences in Washington, DC., these alternative procedures are not only more s c i e n t i f i c a l l y accurate, but they can also be employed with much greater economic efficiency. Needless to say, these methods also help to prevent an incredible amount of needless pain a n d suffkring. That these barbaricexperiments are neither medically sound nor physically necessary has become overwhelmingly evident with the number of cosmetic and cleaner companies that have chosen to discontinue procedures t h a t i n v o l v e cruelty to animals. Since 1989, Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Noxell, Revlon, Amway, Faberge, and Benneton have all abandoned testing. Along with these firms, a number of the other companies that have gone on record to oppose inhumane practices include the Body Shop, Life Brand, Alogen, John Paul

One o f t h e w o r l d ’ s l e a d i n g architects, Frank Gehry, will deliver the annual Hagey Lecture at the University of Waterloo on Nov. 5. Spanning three decades, Gehry’s acclaimed architectural i,design work has produced successful public and private buildings in North America, Japan and Europe. t Raised in Toronto, he moved with his family in 1947 to Los Angeles at age 17. Prof. Jay Thomson, chair of the ’ Hagey Lecture committee, says that Gehry has close contacts with UW’s School of Architecture and he will bring his top-flight design team here to celebrate the school% 25th anniversary.

Now principal-in-charge for Frank 0. Gehry and Associates, which he founded in 1962, Gehry was awarded the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in May 1989 for significant contributions to “humanity and the built environment.” That same year, he was named a trustee of the American Academy in Rome. More recently, he has received the Wolf Prize in Art (architecture) and was made a fellow of the American Academy and Ins&

In 1974, Gehry was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects and has receivedmanynationalandregional awards from the professional institute.

“Indeed, his work appeals to anyone who wishes to reflect on how we interact with our living space,” Thomson says. Major professional journals have featured Gehry’s work. Also, his work has been reviewed by Newsweek, Tie, Art in America and the Wall Street Journal, as well asbyintemationalpublicationssuch as L,e Monde and’ L’Express and Frankfurter Allgemeine. He has received honourary doctoral degrees from the California College of Arts and Crafts, Technical University of Nova Scotia, Rhode Island School of Design, CaliforniaInstituteofArtsandOtisArts Institute of Parsons School of Design. For five separate yetirs during the 19&Os, he held thecharlotte Davenport Professorship in Architecture at Yale University. As well, he held the Eliot Noyes Chair at Harvard University in 1984. In addition, Gehry has been awarded the Arnold W. Brunner MemorialPrizeinArchitecturefrom the American Academy and Institute of Arts a n d Letters. His drawings and models plus designs for cardboard fumiture tid his interpretations (in vbious forms and materials) of fiih have been exhibited in museums around the world. A major retrospective exhibit of his work was organized by the Walker Art Centre in October 1986. It travelled throughout North America from Minneapolis to Atlanta, Houston, Toronto, Los Angeles and New York City (at The W h i t n e y Museumof American Art). Gehry now resides in Santa Monica, Calif., with his wife, krta, and two sons, Alejandro and Sami. The family lives in a house discovered bv Berta and remodelled bv Gehry.’

continued from page 3 term limit was to ensure a greater turnover rate, they had no statistics

or goals concerning a desirable turnover rate. Several turnkeys told I m p r i n t that there is approximately a 30 per cent turnover rate each term, and that few turnkeys stay morethansixkrms.(Whilethetumkeys’ new job description will include an enforced six-term limit, they previously had an unedorced five-term limit). Maugham agreed there was no specific target rate of turnover, but added that the Federation of Students has adopted a policy of limiting part-time employment to six terms. Turnkeys were also told that their wage will be decreasing as a result of a comparative equity assessment of other part-time university employee job descriptions. A request was made by turnkeys to see the job descriptions that their’s was compared to, but was refused on grounds of confidentiality. Wages of turnkeys will decrease, according to Maugham, because there were some responsibilities removed from their job descrip tion, such as the quasi-voluntary committee work and the need to know first aid. Hopkins has .told Imprint in a previous story that he was under the impression that tumkey wages have traditionally been exceptionally high in order to compensate them for their volunteer work. Barring further disagreements or roadblocks, the recommendations will become effective September 8,1992. The Employment Standards Committee is stilI meeting, and is to determine the status of other part time jobs on campus.

Revising Grievby Saba Ali Imprint staff

R e v i s i o n s t o the U n i v e r s i t y o f Waterloo’s Student Grievance and Academic Discipline Policies are nearing completion. First reading approval was granted to the revised policies by the Senate Executive Committee in June, after which additional suggestions were received in July. Changes to the policies ranged from minor editing to major additions and removals.

Funding proposals su-ggest changes Acting on recent cuts in transfer payments from both provincial and federal governments, both the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) and thecanadian Federation of Students (CFS) have recently released proposals which could radically changed the way universities gain funding in Ontario. The COU, which represents university administrations throughout Ontario, has launched a new proposal for a large scale shift from the traditional student assistance program (such as the Ontario Student Assistant Program) to a system of income contingencyloans. The CFS, representing students of many universities across Canada, has conversely renewed their campaign for a national grants program, zero tuition fees, and a more progressive taxation system. The idea of income contingent loans, firstproposedin1955,isbasedonpost-gradu-

ation repayment at a rate coinciding with the graduate’s newly gained income. Graduates with a high income would pay at a higher rate of their annual income than those with a low income. Repayment would continue for a defined period of time, after which the remaining debt, if any, would be forgiven. Accompanying such benevolent repayment plans, however, would be drastic tuition increases.

still be given 20 to 25 years for repayment. AlthoughtheproposedCOUplanwould mean higher tuition fees, the proposal states that “graduates would repay ody what they could afford, when they could afford it,” implying that higher tuition fees would not decrease accessibility to higher education in Ontario. Income contingent loans, though, are not something which the Canadian Federation of

Thus, transferring the financial burden onto students, through higher tuitiori fees does not coincide with where the benefits of education are maximized. Contrasting the COU proposal, the CFS is continuing on in its campaign for zero tuition. The details of this plan are threefold. Firstly, the CFS is calling for a system of

system. A system of grants rather than loans, states the proposal, would greatly in-se the accessibility of higher education for lowincome students due to the absence of a looming debt load. Secondly, the elimination of tuition fees would, in effect, “keep public e d u c a t i o n p u b lic.” The CFSbeliwes that “higher eduation is a right, not a privilege,” and that removing tuition fees would also create a more accessible university environment for low income students. Finally, a more progressive system of taxation would prevent the poor from paying, through taxation, for the education of the rich. Such a progressive tax system would see the creation of two new tax brackets, essentially taxing the rich more and the poor less. In addition, corporate taxes would be increased due to the fact that “corporations reap the benefits of an educated and skilled labour force, and it is Canadian colleges and universities which are educating these individuals.” These three reforms to Canada’s university funding system, in combination, would create more accessibility to Canadian universities, believes the CFS. Information on income contingent 1oans, of which the University of Waterloo Federation of Students is supportive, and the CFS, of which UW is a full member, can be found in the Federation of Students Offices.

Students believes in. Their recent publication, Compromising Access, outlines their argument against such a system, reasserting their platform for funding changes. Arguingagainstincomecontingentloans, the CFS believes that this system would decrease access to higher education in Canada. With each student’s reasons for continuingontoposmndaryeducationbeiigbased on more than the funds they have, the CFS believes the prospect of having a massive debt load incurred on students immediately after graduation would force many low-income students to decide against university. Citing statistics to prove that “Canada’s universities are more accessible to children whose parents have university degrees, have better than average family income and who are employed in ‘professional’ or ‘semi-professional’ jobs,” the CFS notes a direct correlation between family income and level of education attained. Of students from families with and intine of under $22,000,33 per cent went on to college career programs, while 33 per cent of graduate students had a family income of over !&45,000. Thus, Canada’s record on accessible university education is, unfortunately, less than successfui. TheCFS alsaargues that the accompany-

Wacky weed wonderful for world

* Marijuana: a truly “green” product . by Dave Thomson haprint staff

We all know the world is being poisoned by our lack of respect for our natural environment and that this problem is further exacerbated by the diametrically opposed goals of environmentalism and capitalism, but few realistic and implementable solutions have been proposed. Most proposals to date are based upon a fallacious belief that a free-market economy can be harnessed to create a clean environment, sustainable development, and so on. Perhaps the most ridiculous manifestation of this is in the idea of selling pollution quotas on the stock exchange, The theory is that the amount of pollution quotas available to be bought and traded between companies would be gradually reduced over time, forcing large polluting corporations to become more environmentallyfriendly. Right. A few cooperative ideas such as car-pooling are gradually gaining acceptance, but fail to question the more fundamental assumptions that underly the high standard of living we enjoy. There does exist, however, a solution to a greatdealofourenvironmental problems that receives no attention in the mainstream mass media and scant probing in the ‘alternative* media’s journals and nevapers. T h e solution, to quote Jello Biafra, is to -grow more pot!” Or, from the title of a 1942 United States Department of Agriculture film, “Hemp for Victory!” It might sound crazy to those who have been exposed to high levels of drug-war propaganda, but the War on (some) Drugs is also a war on a sensible solution to quite a number of problems, one of which is the pesky idea that our earth is rapidly becoming unin- habitable. One would be hard put to find a literate North American who wasn’t aware that worldwide deforestation is a problem, but few know that the re-legalization of the cannabis hemp plant could solve a large number of environmental problems. Conspiracy buffs should note that .hemp was effectively outlawed in the U.S. (by prohibitive taxation) in 1937, within a year of DuPont patenting the polluting sulfate/sulfite processes to make paper from wood pulp. Furthermore, “ifhemp had not been made illegal, 80 per cent of DuPont’s business would never have come to be.” (Jack Herer, in The Emperor Wears qo Cbthes). It was also during the 1930s that industries began producing stateof-the-art machinery to harvest the hemp plant, thus eliminating the time-intensive nature ofmanud hariresting by slaves and peasants. Even before the days of drug wars and the war on our environment, our predecessors found numerous uses for the plant, including clothing fabric, hempseed oil, medicines, protein and paper. (Ironically, the Arst draft of the U.S. Constitution was written on hemp paper.) In fact, the plant was so impor-

tant that the U.S. government momentarily re-gained its sanity in 1942, and ordered American farmers to grow hemp to help with the war effort. The plant’s fibres were needed to rapidly produce rope, straps, parachutes and other products for the war, since Japan had stopped shipping hemp fibres to America. The search for a renewable fuel source has led environment&sts and industry to all manners of red herrings, while the simple and obvious has been overlooked, You guessed it! An acre of hemp can produce 1,OOOgallons of metha- ’ nol, and almost ah other fossil fuels can be replaced by hemp biomass, In The Emperor Wears No CZot!tes, author Jack Herer states (and provides references) that “farming only six per cent of continental W .S. acreage with biomass would provide all ofAmerica’s gas and oil energy needs and end dependence on fossil fuels.” I guess it would probably also stop the U.S. fro6 murdering hundreds of thousands of people in order to ensure an uninterrupted supply of foreign petroleum, Why then, one might ask, aren’t we growing thousands upon thousands of acres of it, convemgpulp and pkqkmills t process hemp, and making Ae-wis out of a stronger, more durable hemp iibre’? Because the top of the plant produces buds and is considered an evil drug that should be illegal. When you think about it, though, -doesn’t it strike you as odd that governments find it necessary to outlaw a naturally occuring weed? The threat of marijuana, though, does not come from the effects on people who smoke it. FXather, it threatens the transnational corporations that profit from polluting and destroying our environment. After all, how much profit can there be in a plant that requires no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and little treatment in order to produce end products? The people who have put forward the evidence concerning the environmental benefitsofthe hemp plant aren’t stoned hippies; much of the information regarding this has come directly from the drug warriors, the US. government. They estimate, for example, that 10,000 acres of hemp will produce as much pulp for paper as 40,000 acres of forest. That’s a four-to-one ratio, folks. Also, you could harvest at least one crop ayear, insteadofoneevery40yearsorso. And the hemp plant thrives on the increasing amounts of ultraviolet radiation hitting the earth, as a result of the disappearing ozone layer. The plants seeds can produce hempseed oil, which previous generations have used in lamps, as machine oil, and could drastically reduce the current “need” for petroleum. Recently, a gublernatorial candidate in the southern Unfted States even built a “Hempmobile” that ran on hempseed oil (his platform, of course, was to legalize hemp and, unfor-

tunately, he lost). The hemp seed is also chock full of protein, and could be used to fatten up the cattle, pigs, and chickens that we insist on killing and devouring. As the soybean crops fall prey to the increasing amounts of ultraviolet radiation, we could allow hemp to flourish and replace it.

least attention, It not only requires no weeding, but also kills off all the weeds and leaves the soil in splendid condition for the following crop.* Sounds like a farmer’s dream come true, when compared to crops such as tobacco+ which rob the soil of almost all useful nutrients (and end up killing its consumers).

The output of both is virtually indistinguishable from that of a laser printer costing thousands of dollars. Yet both list for considerably less. These printers generate a wide range of fonts and graphics at a crisp 300 dots per inch, which helps to make your work stand out. And if you’re used to the loud racket of dot matrix, these near-silent HP printers will be a welcome change. Especially at 3 a.m. * Th& HP DeskJet and HP DeskWtiter

give you the security of knowing that your hard work will never suffer because of the way it’s presented. And both printers give you the added security of a comprehensive three-year warranty So before you drop money on a dot matrix printer, consider buying an HP DeskJet 500 or HP DeskWriter.

Neither team reached 200 yards in net offence. In the end, it was Waterloo’s nemesis from fast season, Eugene Buccigrossi,, who provided the difference with an eight-yard strike to inside receiver Murray Sobko late in the third quarter. This time, though, it took an injured starting pivot Mario Sturino to allow Buccigrossi to move from his flanker position to the helm. Buccigrossi finally solved the vaunted Warrior secondary after subbing in at halftime, finishing the game 6-of-12 for only 65 yards and that one score. He reached the century mark in total yards, as well, scampering 52 yards on eight rushes. Waterloo was wishing they hadn’t knocked Sturino out of the game, since they limited him to 3of-9 passing, for 35 yards and two interceptions.

The true killer for the Warriors, though, was the turnover (turnovers, that is -- eight in total). The tone was set early as Raynard bobbled the snap deep in UW territory and was forced to pass for the first down, Toronto recovered on downs at the UW 37-yard line and took the lead with a 24yard field goal.

A blocked punt by UW’s Brad Harris at midfield allowed a return to Toronto’s X-yard line; Gunther added another field goal to @tie the Warriors a 6-3 lead heading in to the half. Buccigrossi lined up under centre instead of on the flank to start the second half and U. of T.‘s fortunes were restored.

The annual preseason match pitting the rugby Warriors versus the rugby Warrior alumni tookplace at the Columbia Fields pitch on Sunday. The unofficial score of 37-29, favouring the very experienced alumni side, is under some dispute (due to some dubious alumni convert kicking, and having to patronize the failing memories of our heroes of years gone by). In the end, the fact remained that the alumni crossed the goal line more frequently than the Warriors could respond to. This enjoyable exhibition displayed the hard-hitting, ball-control style of this season’s crop of varsity hopefuls against the quick passing and deceptively agile play of the alumni. There were numerous individual efforts that are worth mentioning, but I am still having a hard time picking up the first names of this year’s strong group of players. The best 1 can do is say, “They did good.” It will be left up to any interested readers and spectators to judge how well each player’s .performante bears up to close scrutiny. Under amazingly clear skies, the game started with a defensive struggle as each team showed tight marking and some strategic kicks for touch. Twenty minutes passed before the alumni opened up the scoring with a try by former OUAA all-star

right-wing Mike Fischer. A questionable ruiing followed the try when substitute referee Dan Inglesby signalled his own conversion kick “good” when it was obviQUS to most spectators that he was actually a little short and a bit wide of the posts. (Xnglesby will be leading the Warrior team in a practicie this week togoover thenew OUAA Rugby Laws for this season.) The Warriors were not ditiur~ aged by the latest of veteran tricks agd pit together a sustained effort of dominating play in the forwards to win field position and the majority of set plays leading to good ball movement among the backs. Frequent substitutions provided every rugby Warrior hopeful some playing time, and allowed the alumni much-heeded breaks from the action. bThe gubstitutions did

The University of Waterloo hockey Warriors opened their 1992 training camp this past week at Columbia Icefield with over 50 players reporting. This could be the most competitive training camp since Don McKee took over as head coach eight years ago. Dryland training began on Friday, September 11 and on-ice work-outs will start this coming Monday.

WHERE THE EXPRESSWAY ENDS SAVINGS BEGIN

El-

El.

The Warrim have a broah attuck at both ends of the rink There is a great deal of optimism heading in to the 1992-93 campaign. With 19 returning players, Waterloo’s depth is kept intact. They have only lost three players to graduation: workhorse defenceman Rod Thacker, and forward snipers Tony Crisp, and Steve Richard. Brad Geard, and Dave Lorentz have moved on to international playing experience. Geard is playing hockey in England and Lore& & in Denmark. In recent years, the Warriors have not been a team with success spawned from one or two big stars. They have a very broad attack at both ends of the rink, Back for another banner year is OUAA West Division first-team allstar defencemancory Keenan, team MVP and second-team all-star forward Darren Snyder, and secondteam all-star goaltender Steve Udvari. Centerman Troy Stephens, the Warrior’s top scorer and rookie of the year last season, returns along with veteran forwards Steve Shaefer, John Williams, Pat Daly, and Bill Whistle. The blueline corps will once again be anchored by veterans Jeff Ballantyne, Mike Chitaroni, Mike Payne, *and Steve Woods. Competing for a spot between the pipes along with Udvari will be last year’sbackupgoaltenderJames Organ and s’econd-year player Shane M u r p h y . Other sophomores vying for permanent spots on the roster include defenceman Geqff Schneider, and forwards Mike Ouzel, Tyler Ertel, Greg Allen, Jamie Hartnett, Drew Rees, and Chris VanClief; Along withthelow graduation numbers, McKee has been blessed with a strong, yet exhaustive, recruiting year which has concentrated mainly on solidifying the blueline. Four freshmen defencemen could start, according to McKee. McKee recalls his team’s success two years ago when there were 10 freshmen in the lineup and the Warriors stormed their way to a National Final Four appearance. “In 1990-91 we got a taste of the

nationals,” McKee said. “In 1991-92 we were upset by a hot Guelph team. Now we are back in a position to challenge for the CIAUs once

again.” Rookie defencemen at camp include Calgary native John Wynn, a standout with theJunior A Detroit AmbassadorsoftheOntarioHockey League, Todd Gleason (Sault St. MarieGreyhounds,Jr.A),andBarq Young (Sudbury Wolves, Jr. A). \ Forward prospects include Geoff Rawson (Niagara Falls Thunder, Jr. A),Chrk Kraemer (Kitchener Rangers, Jr. A), Dean MacDonald (Waterloo Siskins, Jr. B), Dave Matsos (Sault St. Marie Greyhmds, Jr. A), and Jason Mervyn (Stratford Cutlitons, Jr. 8). Coach McKee’s philosophy fur training camp is that everyone has a strong chance to make the team. “To speculate the final roster this early in camp is impossible,” explained McKee. “For example, th& are 15 defencemen vying for

eight positions on

the Warrior blueline. There is always the po tential for freshmen to bock a vet from a starting role.” Joining M&&s coaching staff this season will be former Minnesota North Star Dave Cressman, standout M c G i l l Redmen defenceman Kyler Smith, and former Waterloo Warriorcenterman Todd Co&r. They will join veteran UW assistant coaches Rob Whistle, a CIAU MVP at Laurier in 1984, and Mike Bishop, a three-time All-Canadian goaltender at Waterloo from 1987-90. “When you have new members in your coaching staff bringing in new ideas and techniques, teams usually respond very quickly,” said McKee. “So the new staff for 199% 93 should be a positive step for us in our goal for a national championship.”

Sound familiar? Well, Waterloo dodged another bullet as Steve Fuyter blocked a field goal attempt from the seven-yard line. That wouldn’t do much good with the pesky McClausland returning punts, however, as he picked his way for a 42-yard return s to Waterloo’s 13 before again being tackled by Raynard, late in the third quarter.

Neither team threatened in the fourth quarter, with Waterloo never penetrating closer than the Blues’ 34-yard line. Bennet’s deflected third-and-seven pass was intercepte’d to quash UW’s hopes with less than a minute to play.

Most rock artists spend their

entire careers waiting for one shining of transcendencerOnce realized, that moment serves, for better or worse, as the nexus through which

every event of their careers will flow. After some middling success with a couple of earlier releases and time spent as a sideman to Lloyd Cole, Matthew Sweet has found his moment in the rollicking VUsoundlike of “Girlfriend.” It’s an

intoxicating rush of riffery and harmony from yet another member of the Athens GA, music mafia, as floppy-haired and soft around the middle as that i m p l i e s . T h e r e s t o f t h e L P , w h i l e n o w h e r e n e a r a s in-

1Skaface . sells, moldy fashions poorly Skaface with The Rhinos Federation Hall Wednesday, September 9 by Peter Brown Imprint staff

The Federation of Students kicked off its “Free 849” concert series on the Wednesday o f F r o s h Week, with the seemingly omnipresent Skaface. Why omnipresent? Well, they do a very good job at sounding like a ska band, and, as all of you should know, ska is back in fashion, as it were, only ten short years after its heyday. I shouldn’t have to point out the obvious, but I suppose that is the lot of any music critic. Ska is a dead g e n r e o f m u s i c , o n e that was fun to dance to at the time, but is quite tiresome for o l d s t e r s s u c h as myself. With all of the originality of a golden oldies radio station or Rock and Roll night at the Bomber, Skaface ran through a bunch of fun, boppy, danceable tunes to which to &a& What they lacked in creativity, they &tempted to make up for in vitality a n d e n e r g y , w i t h t h e l e a d photo by Oave Thcmmn

singer screeching in a wide-eyed sort of way. What was truly disappointing was how thebrilliant local act opening for Skaface, The Rhinos, felt that they had to ska their brains out as well. Of course, The Rhinos do include ska and reggae in their menu of musical styles anyway, but it seemed as though they were supp r e s s i n g t h e i r m o s t i$eresting and creative work because they were opening for a ska band. But the &a-ness of The Rhinos’ s-t is not nearly as truly disappointi n g as the prospect of MORE and MORE s k a b a n d s p l a y i n g h e r e o n campus. Sure, this time it’s onIy fresh week that will feature such paragons of new sounds as The Hopping Penguins and King Apparatus. But, look out, ska may soon overtake the campus like a g r o w t h , a festering cancer! Who knows, Mike S o m e t h i n g might become the latest ska ctinvert, treating Friday afternoon crowds to acoustic crap with no rhythm. L Solet t h i s b e a w a r n i n g . . . i f you like ska, seek help. If nut, pruted yourself.

Without a live show as a point of reference, musical b a n d s remain ephemeral voices floating in and out of your stereo; two-dimensional frozen figures and the subject of grapevine news that may or may not be true. As a result (well, for myself anyway), live shows are perhaps the most “real” element of popular music. The tangible manifestation of a group on stage makes the music and emotional responses one has to a band’s music all the stronger. Unless, of course, you’re faced with security guards hell-bent on destroying any and all excitement the artist could create. Security guards so intent on eradicating the moment of joy you receive by seeing one of your favourite bands that they will swear at you, assault you, harass and otherwise molest you for God o n l y k n o w s w h a t e n d . Although an extremely rare circumstance, s u c h w a s m y predicament last Tuesday in Maple LeafGardensat theMorrisseyshow. Showing up a Iittle late, I was escorted to my seat by a helpful usher to the floor. Almost alf the seats were folded up on the ground, and the immediate area in front of the stage was a massive throng of people. I tried to find a comfortable few inches yhere my seat was supposed to be and was soon caught up in the general frenzy of the crowd. The security at first seemed rather normal for the night. Large burly men shoved the Moz-crazy

fans back away from the stage, and removed anyone trying to climb onto the stage. However, the number of fans being sent off steadily increased to a rather incredible ia te. My first- face. to face confrontation with one of Maple Leaf Gardens’ friendly staff was when I tried to move closer to the stage. Eventually, when the force of the several hundred other fans behind me became too much for my frame to bear, I collided with one of the security guards. His response was to grab my throat, and shout s o m e t h i n g t o the effect of “Get the fuck b a c k o r I ’ m g o n n a k i c k y o u r ass”. I tried to explain the situation, stating “I’m getting pushed by these five hundred people behind me, I’m not pulling them up with me.‘* This security guard was then told by another, s e e m i n g l y m o r e seriior, to leave the stage area immediately: Eventually, however, I was deemed t o o m u c h o f a t h r e a t t h a t I was told to leave the floor and stand off to the side. Fine, T thought. Not mingling my sweat with hundreds of other people appealed to me. As I stood at the side of the stage, however, I was asked by an ushq for my ticket. I told him that I was a guest of Concert ProdWions International, and that I *as bn a guest list. This was easily verified by checking the special ticket office. This was not done, and I was told in no unsimple terms “Listen, just get back to the balcony where you belong. “” (emphasis mine). As there was no chance of him executing the Herculean task of going to the special ticket office,

and as I had lost my own ticket earlier (a rather stupid mistake on m y behalf), I went to the balcotiy, content to watch the show from a comfortable distance. This, however, was not to be. I was confronted by yet another security guard. This time, he grabbed my arm, saying simply “Let’s go.” He escorted me to the front doors while I protested and asked him simply to check the special ticket office (where the woman who had given me my tickets still sat). He mutely left m e in front of the main doors where he congenially told me to have a good night. Outside, I met three other fans w h o had also had their nights cut short for equally asinine reasons. I s u p p o s e s o m e of the blame was mine. I didn’t really try to keep the crowd under control, neither did I try to help the security guards calm the crowd down. My massive five-foot, nine-inch frame probably could’ve been an asset to these trained professionals, but I did indeed neglect my duty to my’fellow man. In the end, I suppose the fault rests gpuarely on my shoulders. Simply because most of the seats were on the ground didn’t mean I ;had to stand also. I probably ?could’ve set an example. M o r r i s s e y himself, was o n the side of the bouncers. Before my forced exit, he stated “I’m sure the security people are acting well wi’thin their rights.

Five Cities, One Night, One Bore Night on Earth Directed by Jim Jurtnusch

It’s gotta be the hair. I can’t really see any other reason for Jim Jarmusch’s untouchable status among non-mainstream directors - his spiky platinum locks have be-

come as much of a personal trademark as, say, Lyle Lovett’s mile high pomp. While Jarmusch’s hair hasn’t drooped a bit, his filmmaking has sagged-through the years - he has backslid from the quirky charm and jagged technique of Stranger than Paradi~ to the uneven mediocrity of blight m Earth, his latest release. I Jarmusch’s latest film travelogue appropriates an episodic

structure and tragicomic motifs from classic Italian film-making’ yet somehow the homage falls short of being any more than a hollow imitation. LIkewise, the episodic structure doesn’t work nearly so well as it did in Mystery Train,his previous effort. Night un Earth consists of five taxi rides in five cities in one night. An interesting idea, yet Jarmusch manages to create a film which is far

less than the sum of its parts. After a couple of episodes. it becomes clear just how bankrupt is Jarmusch’s thematic vision. Each episode unfolds with a uniformity of outcome’ as if Jarmusch was incapable of conceiving other outcomes, or perhaps incapable of confronting those other possibilities. The film opens in Las Angeles, with Gena Rowlands as a Hollywood casting agent and the ever-

stiff Winona Ryder as a teenage cabby who refuses the offered entree into movies. While Rowlands does everything in her power to rescue this segment from the slagheap, Ryder’s wan drudge of a performance ensures mediocrity. After the blatant star turn of the opening episode, Night m E&h goes one up, one down (repeat). Episodes two and four (New York and Rome) work, while three and five (Paris and Helsinki) are dire and unbelievable. The high moment of the film is the fourth (Rome) segment, driven (in every sense) by the relentless energy of Roberto Benigni. His monologue begins the moment he hitsthescreenandendsasheleaves, never letting up for a moment. Despite his best efforts to avoid the fare. he ends up driving a priest across town at 4am. Benigni proceeds to force his confession upon the unwilling priest, who sits through a blow-by-blow of Benigni’s sexcapades with a vegetable, an animal, and an in-law. What plagues the entire film is the utter fixity of structure from segment to segment. One might write it off as an attempt to define and examine commonalities which exist from culture to culture. In fact, all that Jarmusch succeeds in doing is making the cities and narratives fade into a greyness and blur. If that were the only flaw, it wouldn’t be such a big deal - narrative is rarely the strong point of Jarmusch’s film-making. Instead, his films rely upon accidental meetings and subsequent interplay of the odd characters who populate his films. Sadly, lVight on Earth is full of unimaginative characterization, relying upon worn cliches rather than the quirky magic which hasinfusedhispreviouswork(wh0 will ever forget Screamin’ Jay HawkinsasthenightporterinMystery Train?). Particularly insulting is the Parisian episode, which relies upon theinterplaybetweenablindbeauty (Beatrice Dalie) and an ebony statue of a cab driver (Isaach de Bankole). How many times has a blind character said “I feel things with every pl%?.. “or “I see things in ways that you could never imagine . . .“? I always thought that they were insulting then, and I do now. To make matters worse, Dalle is excruciatingly inept in her attempts to be “blind”: she rolls he eyes about a bit, and lets her head roll around as though every blind person moves their head around like Stevie Wonder. The other entertaining episode is the second (New York), which is enlivened by the exp!etive-laden interplay between Rosie Perez and her brother-in-law, while the bemused immigrant driver. played by Armin Mueller-Stahl looks on. Usually the term “night” is used as a signifier, a hint that there’s a darkness or uncertainty lurking_ beneath the surface of these events. The majority of the film’s action has nothing to do with the nighttime world, to quote Imprint’s Trevor Blair “It might as well have been called Lunchtime on Earth.” Now, I don’t mean to scream at the abandoning of convention, but what’s the point of setting the movie in the nighttime if the setting doesn’t influence the narrative? Despite all the flaws, IVight on Earth has enough whimsical charm to survivedt’s direst moments. It’s a concept masquerading as a movie - and a

ccmcept

which

lays

Jarmusch’s directoral shortcomings bare. At least, he has the gd sense to let Benigni go wild, and, in the pmxss, save the film.

Marshall makes Field of Dreams come true A League of Their &VII

Directed by Penny

Mar&u21

A title reminiscent of a Virginia Woolf novel, and yet A League of Their Qwn certainly doesn’t play hard-ball when it comes to feminism. Throughout the movie, we keephearinghowmucheffortthese female athletes put into their sport -we’renotallowed toseeit,though. Penny Marshall sets out to make a film about the first members of thel943-1954AU-America&i&’ Professional Baseball League, but she skates around their actual athleticism. Sports pictures, from Chariots oJfite to &osiers, typically spend a significant amount of time on the skills and discipline required to excel. This one uses up most of its celluloid on the fact that these are women. They get dolled up, go out on dates, have problems with husbands and children, and cry under pressure. Although we aremeant to perceive them as gifted ball players, their success seems more like a happy accident. Feminist issues are raised but quickly abandoned - Marshall, workingfromastorybyKimWilson and Kelly Candaele, makes sure the tone stays light and bubbly. Time and again, she dips her toes in the water: a black woman deftly hurls the ball back into the diamdnd, and for a second we are aware of racial inequality; the team ownerscart out ridiculously impractical, shortskirted uniforms; the players are forced to undergo a crash course in finishing school, lest they forget themselves and forget to be “ladies.” One of the women has to bring her young son along, since she has no other child-care resources. And both media and fans refuse to take the league seriously. But all these ideas flicker on and offscreen as unobtrusively as possible. When the token feminist speech is delivered by male business manager Ira bwenstein, it sticks out like a sore pitching arm. SoyougetmadatALeagueof

Ttteir Own for not going far enough, for trivializing its subject and wasting its theme, and all the while you enjoy its other qualities immensely. Lowell Garu and Babaloo Wilson’s screenplay is very amusing and though the characters are quickly sketched, they’re engaging. Jimmy Dugan (TomHanks) is a pot-bellied, dissipated former baseball hero. He drank his career down the toilet, and is now apathetic about managing a bunch of broads. He sits during games, scratching his testicles, signs children’s autographs “Avoid the&p”, and yells at a player to use her head: ‘That’s that lump right above your ass.” You know he’s going to reform,andbecomethewomen’smost ardent supporter, but he doesn’t melt into a bowl of p o r r i d g e . When he and the team’sstar,Dottie (Geena Davis), strike up a friendship of mutual respect, he retains his ironic stance: DOTTIE: You ever beeh married? JIMMY: Well, let me think. Yeah. Twice. DOTI’IE: Any children? JIMMY: One of them was, yeah. Davis has genuine comedic flair yet is also controlled and credible as the driven, shrewd, competitive athlete. Equally intense is Lori Petty, playing Dottie’s younger sister. Tomgirl Kit is both pugnacious and vulnerable, flailing about in her sibling’s shadow. There’s May, a former dance hall attraction with arching eyebrows and a sturdy self-interest, This part is perfect for Madonna she doesn’t have to dish out any of that Dick Tracy nonsense, and she gets to be mischievous and free. After try-outs, thegroup who made the team is instructed: “No smoking, no drinking, and no men.” May, of course, instantly gets up to leave. Later, she comes out of a confessional booth and winks at an altar boy, and we learn that the priest dropped his Bible twice during her c o n f e s s i o n . When May altruistically suggests her top could come off on the field in order to boost the team’s

publicity, her best friend turns to her: “You think there are men in this country who ai.& seen your bosoms?” ‘May’s ear thy, acidtongued buddy is portrayed by comedian Rosie O’Donnell. Look out Abbott and Costello - Madonna ando’Dcm.nellknow who’s on first. All others in the ensemble pull thek weight, except for Jon Lovitz. He’s the ugly acting duckling in this flock. (He’s also terrible in Mom and Dad Sutw the World.) Could you be a little more self-conscious, J o n ? A s a g r u m p y , mis0gynistictalentscout&3vitzhas some of the funniest lines in the scri~t,butheneverstopstelegraphing that fact. Some of the movie’s schtick degenerates in& cheap meanness. Jimmy’s insulting view of the team’s old-maid chaperone is meant to be ours as well, and the film makes fun of Marla, a hulking, palpably unfeminine teammate. But at least Marla is in there, and the fact that the recruiter almost rejects her solely on the basis of her looks is in there too. Predictably, Marshall pulls out all the manipulative stops. We could do without the syrupy underscoring, the heavy-handedcamera work, the maudlin flashback framing, and the exploitative scene where Jimmy delays telling the women whose husband has died. Compared to Amzkenbp and Big, however, this flick is a model of understatement. Seiiously, this picture is a strech for Marshall. It rests on an accumulation of details, jokes, and character bits ra th& than a simple narrative line. And you can’t help getting sucked in. It’s exciting

when Jimmy tills Dottie, “You play ball like you love it,” and, when she wants to quit to spend more time with her spouse: “Xt’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard everyone would do it.. . That’s what makes it great.” So maybe A League of Their Own paints a fantasy world where sexism exists but is deemed harm; less - a kind of chickenshit feminism. The film works nonetheless,

It’s breezy and &arming and it lets you feel the romance of America’s national game (without slow motion!). The emphasis il; on cheering the women, not booing the society thatsurroundedthem-orthatonly gave the league an eleven-year tenure. It’s very r&r&, but if we are going to drown out the hgryy, babeee’s and the ott yo~rti and ail the rest, then we need as many rahrub’s as we can get.

I t w o u l d b e quite simple to write a review just about the hoopla this album has generated. Some see it as a long attack on Johnny Marr in songs such as “We Hate it When Our Friends Become Successful”, others see songs such as “National Front Disco” as proof that Morrissey is in fact a skinhead, or at least a racist. However, all of this gossipy builshit is the truth only somewhere in a parallel universe controlled by Bob Dobbs. Conspiracy theories about pop gods are only interesting if the gods themselves are boring, and whatever poncery Morrissey may be accused of, his music can at least be counted on to keep fans interested. The self-devouring beasts which are the British music dailies need only be referred to by the truly information starved. Your Arsennf is no exception to this rule. This album has been ranked near if not at the t o p o f M o r r i s s e y ’ s o e u v r e by a l m o s t e v e r y r e v i e w I have seen. All this praise seems n o t a little lavish. While a fine album for sure, yours truly would rank it this one behind both the 1989 singles collection Bonn Drrtg as well as Kill Uncle. I’ve got no problem ranking it ahead of his debut Viva Hate, but that

was virtually useless except for the singles, Your Arsenal is p&haps Morrissey’s s t r o n g e s t a l b u m m u s i c a l l y . T h e r e a r e n ’ t any queer songs that just don’t fit in, quite a bit of time seems to have been put in to producing. His lyrics on the other hand are another matter. The absence of a lyric sheet suggest more than that there aren’t any words in here. There are, you just don’t need them. To a point this is fine. At least now, the record is a pleasure to listen to and dissecting the lyrics is not a necessary part of the album’s enjoyment. T h e b l i s t e r i n g opener “You’re Gonna Need Someone on Your Side” is a g o o d example of what I’m talking about. It’s undoubtedly the hardest piece M o r r i s s e y hasever written (and I’m including “London” and “The Queen is Dead” (alt h o u g h t h e b a s s line f o r this one sounds something like the bass line for Batman)). The singles “We Hateit WhenOurFriends B e c o m e Successful” and “You’re the One For Me Fatty“ are the closest we get to non-album tracks. Specially designed to be singles, they’re a b-it too, poppy, and the shortest songs on the album, both eminently likeable, especially, the forced laughter chorus of “Successful”. That’s what makes this a good album, Not a great album mind you, but one worth picking up because it will be listened to. The p r o b l e m s b e g i n w i t h t h e s a d s o n g s . “We’ll Let Y o u K n o w ” i s alright, but “Seasick, Yet Still Docked” is a much more moving song, until the ridiculous line “My love is as

sharpasa needieinyoureye/You’dbeafool _ _ - to pass me by”. In general, those of the “Morrissey is brain dead” persuasion have a point insofar as Morrissey’s self-deprecating attitude i s concerned. Lines like “And all Qf my life, no one gave me anything” (Seasick, Yet Still Docked) are watered down versions of the interesting confessions he’s made on better songs. It’s h a r d t o f e e l s o r r y f o r s o m e o n e l i k e Morrissey. For him to complain that he’s never found anyone to love or that the world is a horrible terrible place in which he feels so alone etc. etc. is rather hard to understand. He’s a huge pop star with millions of people who love him and follow his every word as gospel. He’s put out some crappy EP’s in the past couple of years, yet they sold as well as anything else he’s done. What’s his goddamn problem? The biggest problem withthisalbumisthatit’s basically impossible to believe that this is honest. Because of his attempts to joke about himself, the album seems like a thinly veiled joke. One can only take the music as serious as you can take the musician. When he sings “You’re gonna need s o m e o n e on your side/and here I am/and here I am/well you don’t need to look so pleased./ All you can think is what a rather w.eak ha-ha. There was a time when he could t h r o w away ha-ha’s like n o b o d y ’ s b u s i n e s s and be very, very witty. Now, these thin haha’s just rob the songs of any sincerity and serve only to weaken his reputation as a songwriter.

Earth” glints menacingly with ‘the wicked edge which is the best part of Burnett’s sarcasm. Burnett provides the critics who accuse him of pretence and moral intransigence with plenty more ammunition in the form of “I Can Explain Everything” (two versions!) whichis a t h u m b n a i l d i a g n o s i s o f humanity’s ills. His smug moral superiority is the worst aspect of his sarcasm. At times, the material on this LP is reminiscent of Costello’s King of America - no surprise since Burnett produced that LP. In “Primitives” -- “The frightetzing ihing is trof dyingl fhe Frghtirrirrg thing is not living”, TBone’s wordplay occasionally approaches the heights reached by Costello. The Criminal Under My Own Hat ‘s occasional stumble into righteousness is more than balanced out by songs like “The Long Time Now” and “It’s Not Too Late”, which a r e m o r e p e r s o n a l t h a n Burnett has typically allowed himself to be. He lays himself bare, rather than hiding behind layers of wordiness and willful awkwardness. This honesty is revela tory and leaves one with the hope that T-Bone won’t keep up waiting another four years before he releases his next LE.

In 1986, The Mighty Lemon Drops released Happy Head‘ one of the finest debut albums in the history of English alternative rock music.

count what the LemonDropsarecaRicuch& lacks any song capable of being a smash single, and considering the album’sonIy37minutes long (and thus not intended to be AOR), this is a problem. “Blues Inside” and “(She’s So) Out of Touch” would be likely candidates if only they were two minutes longer.

Nor are there any genuine stand-out album cuts in the league of “My Shadow Girl” from So&. “More,” “Rea& Out,” and “Into the Sun.” Perhaps The Mighty Lemon Drops have become too complacent. But the truth is that David Newton’s songwriting could standtoprogresssomewhat, and if theband hopes to winfansawayfrom thegrunge-craze that’s envelop ing the world, they’re going to have to do , more than add a female vocalist (Susie Hug,whQsings on “No&g” and “Falhig Deep”) and a bit of organ (even thoughit’sdoneeffectivelyon “Reach Out” and ‘*Hallowed Groulid”). If The Mighty Lemon Drops tour in support of Ricochet, I recommend that you see them because these songs would probably be much improved in a live setting. But don’t sink $25 into the CD, or you’ll regret it.

4-5 by Peter Brown Imprint staff A brief disclaimer: Blue Rodeo is my favourite Canadian band of all time. That

being said, Lost TogeUler is a welcome throw-< back to the kind of twangy, gritty, and ethereal country pop that made Olctskirts and D i a m o n d Mine t h e m a s t e r p i e c e s t h e y w e r e . A lucky thing, too. Their last release, Casino, with its two legitimate pop hits and eight boring wanna-bes, seemed to signal creative bankruptcy for the band. Bob Wiseman, that Hari Kari artist of the Hammond, has left the band aft&r recording Lost Tug&er, but the ranks of Jim Cuddy, Greg Keelor, and Basil Donovanare joined by former Cowboy Junkie Kim Des&amps on pedal-steel guitar and GlennMikhem replacing Mark French on drums. Deschamps is a welcome addition that reminds one of Blue Rodeo’s country heritage. Like Diummd Mine, this LP ranges across all of the band’s influences, from the opening fiddle notes of “Fools Like You” to the more cynical sound of “Restless” and “The Big Push.” They even draw attention to the incongruity of a Toronto-based band being so interested in country music with the ever-sotwangy “Western Skies”: “And I’d rather be b a c k i n the R o c k y M o u n t a i n s than sitting in some bar on Queen St. . . . Oh, how I miss those western skies.” Thealbumalsocontains,ofcourse,plenty of Jim Cuddy-sung lonesome, hurtin’ ballads (what Blue Rodeo album wouldn’t?), such as “Already Gone” and “Last t o K n o w . ” W h a t more is there to say, than if you drank your face off, fell down, and cried yourself to sleep to “Try“ and “House of Dreams,” then you will to these two songs. Perhaps the only weak songs on the LP are the swirling keyboard-featuring songs that try to evoke fond memories of “Floating” and “Diamond Mine” -- they must be sendoffs to Wiseman. Clearly, they just don’t work -- Keelor sounds 1 ud icrous singing lyrics like “You kinda remind of those psychos in a German film, you’re that cool looking weirdo with those voices in his head.” My advice to Keelor the songwriter: forget about Bobby; wrtite songs that reflect the sound you can best achieve now, instead of struggling to write ones that remind your old audience of past ones. You’11 only have to perform them live with Bobby anyway.

These songs all cash in on Erasure’s comedic stock whilst championing the incredible versatility of VinceClark’s keyboard prowess.

All the track are fairly hardcore, a big departure for “Every day is Halloween”. In the track “Hero,” the lines include “. . .

Such a blend seems to portray the savagery and brutality one may have to employ to earn the admired status of a “Hero.” The most familiar track would have to be “Jesus Built my Hotrod .” This is the token lighthearted fun track on the album, the one you could play in gym class. If that is your motive for buying the album, don’t do it. Rather, pick up the single and give it a listen. It has two very good versions of “Jesus Built 1 my-H&rod,” as well as a third track “TV I.” If you want a good indication of what the rest of is like, the final track should do it for you.

DA.: Yeah, it’s warking out really well, all the way across there has been a good response. I: Where is home bnse fir fhc bsnd? D.L.: We’re from Montreal and we have a management company in New York. This tour was meant to be an all Canadian package and it’s kind of interesting, all the other bands are from T o r o n t o s o w e k i n d of prove that there is life outside of Toronto I: SO who does tt-rost of the song wri#ing fir the band? D.L.: The songs are written, basically, split three or four ways depending on the song, Me, Pere Fume, Baculis with Sonny Greenwich. We split it four ways in

a pretty straight forwardcoefficient. I: So this album is doing pretty wellfir you, how does it compare to your previous work? D.L.: It’s about twice as good, twice as many sales. Artistically its an evolution, a growth. Its definitely a growth for us, we’re pretty happy with the way it sounds. The “Brown” album wtis just a little bit more raw so on this one be spent more time on the process. On “Brown” it was basically the set we were doing when we were signed and we basically just recorded the set we were performing live, “Bull” shows a little more knowledge and talent at song writing. I: Ifvou had to, how would ym describe “Bootsauce” as a band? D.L.: I’d describe it as “Bootsauce”‘, that’s the best description I can give you. I don’t think it really sounds like a n y o n e e l s e , n o b o d y e v e r h a s actually, it’s kind of hard to categorize. It’s got the dancy stuff, the funky stuff, it’s got so much variety that I wouldn’t like to peg it into one. It’s &que to Canada, it’s unique to the world, there are more bands overseas playing similar stuff to us than there are in North America. It’s a different angle kind of thing, its kind of interesting. I: How lung huve yuu been #oRether as “Bootsauce”? D.L.: A b o u t f o u r y e a r s . I: Have you gut any other tours bled 11p? D.L.: Yeah, there’s a tour lined up fo.r December in Europe and in the mean time we may go to the States and do some work there. Then we’ll start making the next record after the touring. I: When du yuu think you will have a n PW release? D.L.: I’m not really sure but I think it w o u l d b e e a r l y next year. That’s what we’re kink of aiming for but I c o u l d n ’ t g i v e y o u exact dates. I:Anyconunerztson theupmirzgshow at Wuterlou? DA.: W e l l , i f y o u w a n t t o s e e t h e show get down early and be sure to see Art Bergman who will be first and Pure, Its a great package and you may as well get your moneys worth. Its a very tough year e c o n o m i c a l l y and it makes sense to put together a package. I mean, all the bands on this t&r we like and ’ we like listening to so its a matter of Sonomics.

,Romeo and Juliet of Green Gables ,.

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakesyeare directed by Richard Monette Stratford Festival Through November 15 by Lance Manlon

lmprlnt stufl

As Shakespearean plays go, Romeo andJuliet b generally considered to be one of the “particularly classic” classics. It is quite rightly revered for its deep pathos and tremendous dramatic irony. However, the drama also contains problems of pacing and character. This year’s production of Stratford addressed

nobleman. Soon, however, another crisis develops, as a street brawl leaves two dead: Romeo’s friend Mercutio and Juliet’s cousin Tybalt. Romeo, wanted for Tybalt’s murder, is exiled from Verona on pain of death. His friend Friar Lawrence concots a farfetched scheme to reunite the young lovers. The Friar’s plan forms the basis of the rest of the action and results in the tragic denouement. The acting is uniformly strong. Megan Porter Follows (star of the Anne ofGmn Gables CK TV series) in particular shines as Juliet, radiating a perfect sense gf youthful innocence. Follows even manages to

costumes are often pretty, but rarely do they. connect with the text of the play; they ususally fail to add any real meaning or resonance. (The exceptions are the wardrobes of the two title characters. Romeo’s preppy-at-leisure outfits reflect the character perfectly, andJuliet%long, plain gowns effectively convey her youthful exuberance.)

One problem with the production is that it does little to overcome the play’s pacing problems. Director Richard Monette seems quite content to maintain the 0vertlSe of dramatic irony (the overkill of J&et’s parents weeping and wailing over their not-yet dead daughter) and Friar Lawrence’s wholly unnecessarry (dramatically speak-

ing, anyway) summation of events at the close. In the end, Monette has presented a competent but not particularly inspired production of a classic piece of drama. Megan Porter Follows turns in a truly amazing performance, but there is little else aboutthisparticularproductionthat is revelatory, or everi interesting.

The result, while still a powerful presentation-- no _professional production of Ronxo andJsAet could be said to lack power- ultimately failed to illuminate the material in any satisying way. The tale is a classic one that has provided the basis for everything from West Side Story to a dozen bad television shows. Two noble famil i e s o f Verona, the Montagues and the Capulets, are in the midst o f a long and bitter feud. Two teenagers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, meet and instantly fal: i n love. The action is at first informed by the obvious social pressures; Romeo and Juliet must marry in secret, even as her parents are arranging her marriage to another

make Juliet’s love seem l i k e more than mere adolescent rebellion. Calm Feore is also typically superb as Mercutio. While he may be getting a bit long in the tooth for the r o l e , he f i l l s t h e s t a g e w i t h e n e r g y whenever he sets foot on it. His charisma makes any charactei he portrays a favourite.

Review of Book Book - a novel by Robert G~udin R a n d o m H o u s e , 251 pp, $24.00 reviewed by Ken Bryson, Imprint Staff

A book entitled Book; our automatic reaction is to assume an a n t i - b o o k - a s - p r o d u c t s l a n t . But n o , we must think along more academic lines - this book is about University English departments and literary theory. Interested? Let me explain. Being an English Professor himself, Robert Grudin has created a novel about an overblowndebate over literary theory at the fictitious University of Washagon, Dolce, Washington. Thenovelbeginswiththemysterious disappearance of Professor Adam Snell, just days before his illfated post tenure review. It seems that the Washagon English department, being dominated by literary theorists, is determined to oust him from his job due to his unprofessional publications. His disappeara n c e , t h e n , c o m e s a s g r e a t n e w s to his superiors. But what did he publish which wassounprofessional as to warrant excitement over his demise? He wrote an unsuccessful yet brilliant and obscure novel, entitled “Sovrana Sostrata” and far r e m o v e d from literary theory. But why would anyone want to harm Adam S n e l l , let a l o n e b u y u p e v e r y s i n g l e un‘sold copy of his novel? Was someone-warped b y a pathological bent on the rise of literary theory? Or did someone simply not like his teaching style? Read the book. The mystery over Snell’s disappearance, the discovery of his near dead body (yes, he lives), and the unnerving realization that his assailant is still at large, save Book from becoming mired down in its own aspira tions. In the end, the only conventional aspect of the novel, the story-line, becomes its saving grace. As for the rest of this obscure book, Grudin certainly thinks himself more capable and witty than he really is. Book is littered with unsuccessfully played with form; Grudin throws in fictitious newspaper articles, memos, letters, glossaries, and even real quotes from the encyclopedia Britannica headi n g ‘%ook.” Ultimately, his narrative thus broken up, suffers from l a c k o f f l o w , e s p e c i a l l y i n the first dozenor so chapters. By the end we learn to ignore it and get on with the story. Unfortunately f o r G r u d i n , h i s mistake c o m e s w h e n he attempts to make more of Book than an interesting story. Not only does he target conventional form, but also, through his content, literary theory . Especially comic are his caricatures of the U. o f W a s h a g o n t h e o rists during Snell’s review, each one attacking Snell’s novel from their own angle: the deconstructionist asserting that Snell was a Nazi because o f the f i r s t letters of the title were S.S.

Quite certainly Bookisnot antibook-as-product, but anti literary t h e o r y . Crudin asserts that literary - theory is not much more than qtib-

bling over interpretation, not to mention that its “manifest l a c k o f social relevance will make [it] at best a passing vogue, at worst a tragic institutional blunder.” B o o k i s o b v i o u s l y w r i t t e n b y an English professor and for English departments everywhere. The language Crudin uses is overly academic (there is constant name dropping of prominent theorists: B a r t h e s , D e r r i d a , S a u s s u r e ) and the scope of the novel too pointed towards those knowledgable in literary theory and the politics of Engl i s h departments.

This unconventional book named Book knows only one positive aspect, which is, ironically, the most conventional aspect of itself. The plot of Book is created of interesting subject matter and is fairly well presented as a story. Unfortunately for Grudin though, his own wit and aspirations mire him down in the stool of his own book, Book. So if you are hip to bizzare form or are a closet New Criticist, buy this book. If not, please be content t o debate the meaning of t h i s r e v i e w . W h a t does it mean? W h a t i s m y intent? Does that matter? Could this not mean...anything at all?
