Design charette operi for ,. ,business by Angela Mulhullund Imprint star

The planning for the muchawaited Student Centre has finally begun in earnest. Fifty third-year architecture students will be participating in a design charette on November 5-7 with the objective of cr&ing designs for the new Student Centre. The Charette will be l&d by Hagey lecturer Frank Gehry, an architect based in Los Angeles, along with three associates from his office and staff from the Uw School of Architecture, Inanefforttopromoteasmuch student participa tion as possible, there is presently a call being made to students from any faculty who have ideas for the design that they would like to see implemented. The students will be integrated with the Architecture students and divided into groups of six to eight. The groups will then be asked to produce a set of drawings for presentation in the School of Architecture over the weekend of November 7-8. Thedrawingswillbedisplayed in the’campus centre the following week for viewing by all students. A suggestion box willbe set up nearby for submission of responses and feedback. All final designs will be passed on to the official architects, who will be selected this coming January-

C-onstruction is scheduled to begin in July in the hopes of opening the Centre in the fall, 1994. At that time, students will begin to pay for the project through payments of $25 per semester on their fee statements. The $6.6 million project will be paid off at the end of 25 years. One of the issues to be decided at the Charette will be the possible locationofthenewfacility.Themost likely spot is the area between the Physical Activities Complex and the Mathand Computers Building. The new Student Centre could possibly be linked with the present Campus Centre and the PAC to form a true centre of student life. The main function of the building willbe to provide addi-

Would you like to sit down?” The School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo, as part of the celebrations of its 25th am-& versary, last week hosted “Sight Work/Site Work,” theannual symposium for the 12 collegiate schools of architecture in its region. A student design workshop was formulated in conjunction with the theme of the event. En&led “Place Settings,” the workshop attracted teams from ten universities including a team that flew in from the ar&itecture school at the University of Calgary. Along with the keensupportof severalvisitingprofessors and the addition of six UW

The otiginality and energy of the teams’ work impressedboththeorganizersandthe 200 odd visiting academics and practitioners involved with the symposium. The workshop demonstrated that the application of personal vision cmto’a variegated landscape will always produce wide-ranging interpretations. Among the 18 chairs, there were M two alike, yet each oie in its own way, was entirely suited to its context. The success of the workshop was due to all student teams and to visiting critic Dan Hoffman from Cranbrook Academy of ,Art. Special thanks to Uwfacilities and the the Waterloo Parks Dept. for their support, and the generous help of staff, faculty and recent graduates of the School of Architecture, who made the whole event possible.

And How ‘d You Vote?

. “No” to Charlottetown Last Monday, 8,816,279 peoplk cast valid ballots for or against the referendum question. With 52.4 per cent voting against it, the Charlottetown Accord was rejected by Canadians. The “No” vote was fairly uniform across the country; only three (Maritime)provincesvotedYes.The strongest support, 73.7per cent, was in Prince Edward Island; the lowest in Manitoba, with 38.8 per cent. The massive turnout at the polls - outdoing that of the last Federal election - proved all Canadians took this seriously. In Ontario, the vote was split 49.5percentYesto49.9percentNo. Quebec had 42.3 per cent for and 55.4 per cent against, support high with Anglophones and low with Francophones. Initial reaction was one of surprise; few expected such a close vote. The dollar, predicted by the “Yes” side to plummet if the accord failed, at first faltered, but thenrose,

If a “Yes” vote had been more likely in Quebec, English contintied, then the other. provinces might have been more willing to vote for the Accord. Hefeelsthatthelikelihood of another “package deal” is slim. Withafederalelectionnext year,-and a provincial election in Quebec in 1994, he doubts that any initiative will be undertaken before 1995. By that time the P.Q. may have won in Quebec, and a sovereignty referendum held in the province. He referred to the “relatively low” percentage that voted for sovereignty in the 1980 referendum, speculating that the majority of people who voted against the

Accord want to remain part of Canada. A very different interpretation was offered by Dr. Richard Nutbrown, a UW potitical science professorandNosupporter.Thecauses of the rejection went “deeper” than the Accord or the immediate process.

Universities to increase community, ’ . representation ----

from Ministry verrities

On October 21, Colleges and Universities Minister Richard Allen called on Ontario universities to ensure that their governing bodies are representative of the communities - they serve. “Responsibility for the overall health and weli-beingofindividualuniversiti~restswith the governing body of the institution,” said Allen. “As u&e&es strive to focus their activities on the needs and interests of a diverse society, this diversity must be reflected in the goveming bodies.” The development of draft guidelines, regarding the comII position &d membea bership of universitv governing board;, . addresses the recommendationof the Stephen Lewis Task force Report which calls on college and university governing bodies to reflect Ontario’s changed society. The draft guidelines area also the culxnination of a consultation process begun with the universities by Allen in May, 1991. The aim of the draft guidelines is to encourage universities to take steps to ensure that their governing boards are representative of both the internal and external communities of the institution. In a letter sent to university presidents and board chairpersons, and to provincial faculty, staff and student associations, the Ministerasksforcommentsonthedraft~d~

lines for enhancing the representativeness of their governing bodies. In addition to the discussions that will take place with the universities, the ministry will consult with community organizations and groups on the issue of governing board representation. T@e discussions will focus on finding the most effective means df identifying suitable bominees from the community for university and college governing boards. The principles on which the draft guidelines are based include.provision for mem. bership on governing bodies by faculty, staff and students. The majority of board memhers, however, will come from outside of the university community, reflecting the mast geographical comihiiity; the professional, industrial, and labour conununitks, and the ethnic and linguistic community served by the institution. In addition, the guidelines call for consideration of ee need to provide for representation of groups traditionally under-represented in the university system including women, the disabled, Aboriginal people, francophones and visible minorities. “We strongly believe that educational institutions can best serve the broad public interest by being governed by those whose interest they serve,” said Allen. ~ Responses and comm@s on the draft guidelines should be sent to the Minister no later than December 18,1992.

and sanitary products, aren’t there?” This is a good question. “Sanitary” products may indeed seem trivial when we are told that this poisoned planet will somehow have to support over six billion people by the year 2ooO. Why even raise the issue? After all, isn’t this still a taboo subject? Just look at the packaging of dozens of “feminine hygiene” products on pharmacy shelves - the word “menstruation” is not even mentioned. It’s amazing that women even know what they are! Some will quickly dismiss this issue as trivial but look at it this way: women’s disposable menstrual products are a $2 billion a year business in North America. Clearly this is a big business. Over 20 billion “sanitary” products are used once and then discarded every year, often in ways that hurt the environment. Quebec fishers behold what they call “St. Lawrence trout”: hundredsof “sanitary”pads floating downstream of greater Montreal,

The ozone layer is diminishing, species are becoming extinct, natural resources are depleting and the water we drink and the air we breathe is polluted witharangeoftoxicchemicals.Nothingseems to be free from toxic contamination. It’s a pretty depressing picture that often leaves people powerless. One of the more interesting campaigns ongoing in Ontario is “Stop the Whitewash and the Waste,” which aims to empower women to invoke positive environmental change.

by habed White lmpfht sto ff

Last Friday, October 23, Dr. Jerrold Marsden of the University of California at Berkeley delivered the second in the “Mathematics: a Historical Perspective” series of lectures/The series is presented by the Pure Math and C&O Club and the Faculty of Mathematics. Marsden received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto, his master’s from the University of BritishColumbia, and his doctorate from Princeton. He is the author of several well&no% books, including VecforAnalysis, an undergraduate text, and CZassiuzZ Mechanics, used by graduate students He was recently named IXrector of the Fields Institute. Unlike the last lecture in the series, by geometer H.M.S. Coxeter, this lecture consisted of a discussion of the historical development of the field of classical mechanics, as opposed to problem-solving+ Classical mechanics is the mathematicalstudyofthemotionofbodies, for example, a blackboarderaser tossed into the air. Marsden divides the history of classical mechanics into four periods. Up to 1850 was a “period of sporadic giants,” with Newton, Leibniz, and Lagrange as major figures. From 1850 to 1900 was the “Age of Big Ideas” (capitalization his), with many important ideas from only a few people, such as Poincare and Sophus Lie, whose

big ideas have had huge impacts on mathematics and.physics. I The years 1900 to 1960 were a dornGnt period in terms of classicalmechanics (thoughcertainlynot in many other fields), The period from 1460 to the present, according to Dr. Marsden, is a “Renai~ance” in classical mechanics; a renewed “explosion of activity” in the field. Mars&n emphasized the im-

portance of communication between

between pure mathematics and applied mathematics. He also advised that those working in the field read the works’ of the researchers of the past, to avoid duplication. He cited the example of certain equations of Lagrange’sbeing “rediscovered five to ten times” since the 1960s. An estimated 130 people attended the lecture, which was held in MC 2066.

Semiformal ends , Village charity campaign by Dave Kkuis special to Imprint

While most of the University of Waterloo students are suffering from post-midterm blues and Halloween fright, the majority of the minds in Village One and Two are filled with thoughts of this years’s Benefit Semi-Formal. 1992 marks the 13th year for ’ this fundraising campaign organized by the Dons of bothe Villages and made a success by the efforts of the Vl and V2 residents. The Benefit Semi-Formal, commonly reffer to as the B.S.F., is one way the students in residence improve their public image by raising money for a Kitchener-Waterloo area charity. Over the past 12 years, the Villagers have raised over $175,000 for a variety of causes including the Big Brothers and Sisters, A.C.C.K.W.A., and Sunbeam Home. The recipient of this year’s funds is Anselma House in Kitchener. An&ma House is not only a shelter for abused women and children, but also provides 24 hour counselling phone line and many other services required by troubled women. This year’s fundraising goal is 20,000 dollars, which will hopefully be obtained through the many functions and events that take place over the ten week campaign. Even though this campaign began during fresh week and several fund rasing events have already taken place, there are many more things to come. Villagers have had the chance to Adopt-A-Duck, are busy selling B.S.F. raffle tickets, and will soon have the opportunity to throw pies at their Dons, or send each other flowers. Money raised through these events in the Villages goes to Anselma House. Events outside the Villages that everyone took part in included a pool party at Fed Hall on October 22. Thiswasnotonlyaneveningof splashing and dancing, but also a synchronized swimming competition was held, with the Blue Jays on the big screen. Our AnnualCoffeeHousetook place this past Tuesday in the Campus Centre. Various performances by Villagers and special guests provided an entertaining evening. The proceeds from these two events are also going to Anselma House. This year’s campaign wraps up on November 20, the date of the Semi-Formal being held at Bingeman park. This dress-up evening away from the University is a way of thanking the Villagers for their hard work. Non-cafeteria food is being served and, after the meal, the band Glider will provide the entertainment, while everyone dances the night away. 8

Plastic tampon applicators, also known as “LpT’s” (Little Pink Things) are found by the thousands on coastal areas of North America. They “last a lifetime,” float great distances and pose a grave threat to sea birds and marine life. “Sanitary” products and diapers are also bleached with chlorine compounds to make them unnecessarily “whiter than white” at great cost to the environment and living creatures. Chlorine compounds wreak havoconwildlifebyinterferingwith reproduction, causing birth defects and suppressed immunity. Dioxin, an organochlorine, is believed to mimic a steroid-like hormone which fools the body’s standard chemicals responses, setting off a variety of physiological effects. These effects include damage to major organs, reproductive and developmental impairment, infertility and cancer. Chlorine compounds have even caused death if the levels are tigh.

I wonder about the state of Canadian democracy when the people of this country are admonished and criticized by national leaders and institutions for expressing their opinion. Amidst all of the uncetinty that follows this week’s rejection by the Canadian people of the Charlottetown constitutional accord, a few truths can be found. One is that there is obviously a rift between the governing and the governed. All ma(or paq leaders, all provincial premiers, and many other n&onal leaden endorsed the accord, yet 53 per cent of Canadians rejected it, If you believe The G/&e and Mail, this difference can be , attributed to the short referendum campaign that did not provide enough time CO convince the constitutionally-challenged Canadian people how great this deal would be for Canada. Of course, most of us have a different penpective on the matter, since we are members of the common rabble. Another truth is that many Canadians reject the bargaining, this-for&at kind of negotiations that representative democracy seems to encourage. Our leaders tell us that a constitutional amendment such as this must be sweeping and comprehensive to reflect all of the various factions within the country and that compromise is necessary to achieve consensus. (“I’ll agree to native self-government if you let provinces control more federal spending programs.“) Compromise may be a pragmatic, necessary, even admimble process in the every-day political sphere, but not when embarking on a course as vital to the nation as constitution-building. This kind of horse-trading of benefits for one group weighted against those for another creates only resentment and discord. We are seeing that even this week in the conflagration that has followed the rejection of the Charlottetown accord. bride Mercredi says that Canadians have betrayed Native Canadians and are not interested in advancing any more rights to the Aboriginal peoples. Preston Manning is parleying his leadership role in the No campaign into. politkal gmvy for the Reform m, primarily on his fabrication that the accord was “Mulroney’s deal.” The comprehensive, omnibus nature of the Charlottetown accord encourages, even forces, this sort of political hay-making. Many people who voted No in English Canada did so because the accord would have given more powers to Quebec and judged that this was the most important, the most dangerous, consideration. * From this, you cannot draw any conclusion about their opinions on Aboriginal rights ?- except, perhaps, that those opinions are less important to them than their opinions on Quebec. Manning’s claims that the strong No vote is somehow a vote of confidence in the Reform Par@ is likewise loonie. Again, Canadiins on both sides voted the way they did for a vat-i* of reasons. To claim that the minds of Canadians can be read by the ’ outcome of this referendum is laughable. And for Manning orsn)r seIf&yled “outside? to condemn mxbrm politicians for their handling of these con&utional negotiations or the resultant deal - both involving traditional political methods while shamefully attempting to benefit politically from this referendum is conemptible. A sidebar to this issue: On Tuesday, the Canadian dollar and the TSE Composite

Index rose and the major chartered banks lowered their interest rates. So much for Yes side scare tactics.

WHO Alright, the Blue Jays won he World Series (which, by the way, only includes the North American continent). Big fucking deal. Who the hell cares? Why do you care? I’m sorry, but I’ve just about reached my limit. Where have your reasoning powers gone? Give me tens of millions of dollars, and see if I can’t buy enough talent to win the “world” series. How many Blue Jays ‘were born in Canada, pray tell? I simply can’t figure it out. As a male, I’ve been socialized to, at the very least, understand the most basic rules of popular sporting events. I can follow a hockey or baseball game, and have a modicum of knowledge about the North American version of football. However, althoueh I can ’ somewhat understand the euphoria surrounding the Blue Jays’ win, I fail to comprehend how people can somehow associate this event with nationalist or patriotic sentiment. Ask yourself: how many Canadians are on this team? It is a question the commentators conveniently fail to raise or address. Wayne Gretzky is Canadian, bo& and raised in Brantford, Ontario, about a halfhour drive from here. It only makes sense ‘ to get excited about him. What sheer idiocy it is, though, to drive around with a * Canadian flag hanging out of your car to celebrate the Jays’ winning the series. Do we nominate lBM, an American company, as the best Canadian company just because the Canadian branch makes a decent buck? No! Aaagggghhhhh!

BlueJays:

CARES? celebration. Well, congratulations, fools. You’ve spent millions purchasing tickets, c me&and& and other paraphernalia associated with the Blue Jays, and have accomplished little more than the brief satisfaction derived from being a member of a mindless and blind consumer society. It’s too bad we all have no jobs, can’t afford down payments on houses and cars, are taxed too heavily, and have no money to buy anything, but have the audacity to waste hard-earned cash on an event of no discernible long-term significance, other than to the people who produce sports c&s and other memorabilia, I was told, with a straight face, that ‘people actually sat in the Slcydome to wat+ the Jumbotron for one of the away

Talent and bodies can be bought by those who have enough money ganh. I saw a commentat0r say something to the effect that Canadians had finally taught Americans something, how to play baseball. Ha ha ha. Oh boy, do I feel proud to be Canadian. If you haven’t yet comprehend& what I’m sa$,ng let’s Use an anaJogy to put it h peqective. Alright, boys and girls; let’s -ptend that I have as much cash on hand as Ross Perot. Now, imagine that both the Iron Wtior and Imp&t have their own campus-ret basketball teams, which just happen to be in the play-offs. Then, let’s say that I offer each member of the Chicago Bulls a million dollars to play for Imprint’s team. Obviously, Impript would’win. But would we make it front-page news, given that no members of the Imprint team were actually staff members? a If we did, we’d look like total idiots, and would be ridiculed everywhere. Now,

having put this in perspective, why should we care if the Blue Jays won? Why has no one surfaced to state the obvious? Why should last Thursday’s Sloan concert have started at 11:30 pm, so fans present could hear ctttd watch the game. If &e is a die-hard fan, isn’t it possible to figure out what’s going on simply from watching it? Another question: why did a good 30 or 40 of you pay admission to the concert, to just watch the game and pay inflated beer prices, and leave before the concert even started? Whatsahmattahyou, eh? I feel most . people are too far immersed in mindless products and aspects of the me and TV culture, but had not realised the senses of most had been dulled to this extent.

Is it not true that Toronto Blue Jays are largely not from Toronto, the Braves not from Atlanta, Bulls not from Chicago, and Oilers not from Edmonton? Is it not true that the goal of organized sport franchises is to purchase the best talent, without having stipulations on the origin of that talent? Why don’t we just have travelling circuses going from town to town, to amuse people with their talents? Wrestling on Mondap, basketball on Wednesdays, NHL on Fridays, NFL on Sunday afternoons, and so on? “Home” teams, indeed.

Forum Referendum afterthoughts To the

editor,

Now that the referendum is over, and one side has won or lost, it% time for us as a society to l&k over the whole situation. Whether you voted No or Yes, doesn’t matter, what matters is what is going to happen next. I voted No for many reasons that I won’t get into, but I hope that the reader will respect that fact! I respect the decisions of others and I understand that each individual out there is different, with different moral values and principles. If we all thought this way, we wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble. Yes, I think it& trouble. The Charlottetown Accord is full of items that ’ trouble me and in my opinion should trouble others. What this agreement does is separate us, Canada, into distinct societies. Not just Quebec, but Ontarions, British Columbians, etc. It says so, right in the agreement: “h) Canadians confirm the principle of equality of the provinces at the same time as recognizing their diverse characteristics” (Canada Clause section, 1). What does this mean? That all provinces are equal or that each province is distinct? Make a decision if you can! One advertisement that I read touched on this point, . although it went about it in a drastic way. It said: “Separating and segregating Francophones and aborigines from other Canad&s by the cons&ion is thereby constitutionalizing Apartheid in Canada” (APEC Referendum Committee, The Toronto Sun, Oct. 20). Sure, this is a harsh statement, but it got my thoughts rolling/What if this was actually true,’ I thought. I went back to the text, and I talked it over with my room mates, and it occurred to me that it was a yes and no answer. Yes, there is a kind of Apartheid but No it isn’t as severe as South Africa; maybe it is a start? What does the text say? It says: “The role of the legislature and Government of Quebec to preserve and promote the distinct society of Quebec is affirmed” (Canada Clause section 2). To most people without a law degree, the wording of this is confusing. In my own words, what this means is that the govemment of Quebec is allowed to do anything in that province to stop anyone from promoting a different language, culture, and even preventing certain freedoms. What kind of freedom? Freedom to communicate in English, ltalian, German, etc. They could go as far as outlawing nonQuebec schools, papers, radio and television stations. Is this ag+inst the Charter of I Rights and Freedoms? But, we see in section 1 of the Canada Clause that there are many paits to the contrary of the above. They are: “d) Canadians and their governments are committed to the vitality and development of official language minority and communities throughout Canada; e) Canadians are committed to racial and ethnic equality in’ a society that includes citizens from many lands who have contributed, and continue to contribute, to the building of a strong Canada that reflects its culture and racial diversity; f) Canadians are committed to a respect for individual and collective human rights and freedoms of all people.” What does this mean? To me it means a waste of time! Taking part f), we see that we are to respect individual and collective rights, then everyone should be treated equal right? Wrong, it means absolutely nothing. How are Canadians committed to any of these parts? What rules are to be laid down? Who will govern and enforce these rules? Too many questions and not enough answers! There are many things wrong with this accord

there whole These single a one

and that is why I voted

No. But,

are many things wrong with the country that need to be dealt with. problems should not be put into one accord. They should be dealt with on issue basis. Sure, that may take years,

Imprint Friday,

or even decades, to deal with all the problems but we are trying to work these problems out for future generations, not for us. Time is one thing that is on our side. I would like to see the governments of this country sit down and work out a deal with Quebec. Not one that deals with Aboriginal Rights, or Equality or anything else because those people that want certain Equality rights will vote on those items in the accord and not on the main issue. That is the problem with having this type of agreement, everyone wants their say and to give in to everyone is not democracy. So, what is my point in all this? Get informed! Discuss the .problems that you have. Respect others opinions and their cultures. Know that as long as you believe in your religion and in your culture, they will live on. And most of all, do we really need laws, and the government, telling us how to live, how to be equal or how to respect others? Maybe we should all read “19&V’, by George Orwell, and see what happens when “Big Brother is Watching”!!

Students’ views on alcohol To

the

editor,

Ever wonder how your peers really feel about alcohol use? October 18-24 marked National Alcohol Awareness Week and University of Waterloo students were presented with an opportunity to express their thoughts on the subject. On Thursday, October 22, between 450 and 500 students stopped by the Campus Centre to write their responses to the question, “How has alcohol affected your life?” The event was sponsored by Boost Alcohol Consciousness on Campus for the He&h of University Students (BACCHUS), a national, non-profit organization that promotes responsible drinking among postsecondary students across the country. The anonymous responses were posted on a board so that other students could read what their peers had to say. The responses, though many and varied, had a recurring theme of “moderation.” Taking almost 500 students to a random and representative sample, most of UW% student population are aware that alcohol in excessive amounts in detrimental to the quality of one’s life and can negatively affect all aspects of living: work, studies, relationships, and so on. Despite widespread recognition of the virtues of moderation, there is a discrepancy between theory and practice; some students continue to consume large quantities of alcohol and do not see how it is affecting their lives. This inconsistency between knowledge and practice is increasingly the focus of studies&me findings suggest that alcohol is a substitute for many things, such as communication skills, selfesteem, confidence, attractiveness, body image, a sense of humour, and friendship. Here’s what some students had to say: “Sometimes it’s made my life lots of fun, other times it’s made my fife v,,ery complicated, but most @mes it’s made my mo&gs awful!” “Alcohol has helped to make friends, elevate boredom, controI stress, ad cause much laughter.” “Alcohol took away an entire year of my life. It took control of all iny emotions and told me to make the worst possible decisions in all aspects of my life. From what I remember of that year, I hurt my friends, my family, and all those that loved me most!” “Bedspins suck!” “Improves my self-confidence when meeting worn&n.” “It’s made the good times better, when done in moderation.” “I don’t drink alcoholic beverages.” “Moderate use of alcohol allows me to relax and blow off some steam. 1 get far too stressed and alcohol lets me perform stressfree.” “My dad is a recovering alcoholic. I remember as a young girl the probl?ms that

editor,

In the light of the defeat of the Charlottetown accord, Eleanor Grant’s thoughtful feature article in last weeks Imprint is timely. While she laments the fact that Canada has never had a Constituent Assembly, she points out that “the realities ..*today... require that we elevate our consciousness of ourselves to a nobler level.” As a local organizer for the Committee to Vote NO on October 26, I rejoiced in the outcome of the referendum vote. But the constitutional crisis has yet to be resolved. To say now that we should &et ofi with the economy and put the constitution on the backbumer is to ignore the vital links between the two. The change which the people called for on October 26 must come in both the political and economic spheres, In any case, I believe its time for a new approa& to political life in this country. The widespread rejection of the political process in Canada since Meech, and especially since October 26, cries out for a “political power that r resents all human beings,” in the words o‘p Hardial Bains, in his new book entitled A&@re to FB A . on ParAvv oath to Canada s Post Referwdum~(I’llsLyitsnau-A.) Bains writes that “the demand of the people for a constitution written by themselves, makes a lot of sense as it would resolve new legislation concerning a constitutional convention.” Yes, we rnpt evolve to a higher level of consciousness. But this will happen in Canada only as the people continue to tak& control over their affairs from the politicians and work together to build a new society. Helmut Bmun UW Llbruiy Attendum

If ourth, astonishingly, and as alluded to above, Mr. Peck reports that McMaster players were guilty of “foul play” and “malicious actions”. It IS here that we find Mr, Peck at his cubbish best as a reporter and a player. For the record, I did not witness any of the alleged violence and neither

Gun control: Norkh America is not Sweden To

the

edkw,

I must take exception to the review by Sandy Atwal and Craig Nickerson of the Consolidated album, ‘Play more music’ (Imprint, Oct. g/92). The reviewers thetilves are guilty of ‘some obvious leaps in logic.’ With regard to gun control, there may not be a correlation between the number of privately owned guns and violent crime in Sweden or Belgium but there may be in North America. That’s because North Americans are more violent (who knows why, because of TV?). With a gun at hand, the more violent person would be more likely to use it. Most murders in Canada occur in a brief moment of violent passion, not because the murderer IS a bloodth&sty maniac. It is much ~;;&y&y;fpyy *knife or club. There are one hell of a lot of sharp kitchen knives out there and comparatively few kitchen knife murders. As for gun control by the state, that doesn’t seem so dangerous in Canada. The government here controls all the machinegunsandtanksand1 don’t think there’s been much problem with that. If you’re not convinced yet that a vegetarian diet is our natural, evolutiona one that’s ok, I can understan 7 that. But do you have to glorify the violence of meat-eating?

The decline of modern Society ’ by C/hat Tufcotte Impfht stuff All great empires have a boom and bust. I suppose this is true of anything. It can apply to most relationships: lovers, for example. Things cruise along and everything the partner says or does is poetry. Sooner or later though, this infatuation, this cosmic perfection, becomes somewhat sonorous. Let’s all have a cheer for pessimism. I would like to rather have this pessimism be called by a different name. Realism. Everything goes in cycles, good and bad. Read Gibran: “Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.” Go to a Tai Chi class and learn about this yin yan-ish universe. The way to stay happy I guess is to resign yourself to the fact that your partner may sometimes fail to tweak your nads, and you should wait until the next boom of conjugal bliss. (Responsibility often is a codependent variable which may serve to facilitate the decision to remain with the one you’re with.) But enough about love and on to empires. There have been many empires throughout history: Persian; Mycenaen; Babylonian; Roman; British. All rose to lofty heights of civilization and then crapped out. They all created great art and culture, which ultimately ended up in the next great empire’s museums. Wham Barn Where are we now Sam? I would like to propose that the most recent empire, the American, is also on the way to the loo, and us with it. (I think it spans all of North American and her resources.) The New World once meant unlimited potential for exploitation. The American dream centred fully on the conquest of the west and other areas of exploration. It ex-

tended into economic frontiers and then to political Manifest destiny is exploredinNorth American art. Always searching for new possibilities and originality (ie. Warhol? Dylan? Star Trek? et al.). I see novels that came out in the ‘3Os, after World War One and the great disillusionment of the average American. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Stein all had something to say about life and its majestic pain. They were the originalsof theirtimeandhadeveryoneguessing. The Second World War brought back the American claim to righteousness. The next decades saw Elvis and his motley crew of Rock and Rollers. Original! But everything these days is a great big blah as far as I’m comerned. Too many people have created too many problems. Television has never been great or iconic in most regards, but I feel that this is due to its relatively late development in the Empire (and the Empire is, as I assert here and there, down by most standards). I believe a delicate few, Moses Znaimer for instance, can see the future of television. Most American broadcasts pander to the mentally nonexistent. If you don’t believe me, just watch these incredibly banal commercial-visions that occur in the wee hours of iniquity. Situation comedies are infantile blasphemies for two-year olds. There are exceptions to these generalizations, of course (Cheers? Noah E xpsure? Star Trek? (These are pretty flimsy exceptions)), but I think there is a consensus among us that most TV is what the birds eat. e.e. cummings said “There is some s*** I will not eat,” yet most North Americans are content to sit and soak up all of this tipe. Most rock and roll borders on idiocy. Leonard Cohen said you can’t look into a mirror and recite popular lyric with a straight face. I

believe him. “I’m cruisin’ in my 5.0”. Aww, shit. So what is the cause of this cultural decline? What brings fops like Erkel into existence? I’ll tell you. Public bathrooms. Well, actually they are not the cause, but merely a correlation. But an important one at that. The human condition has so changed that we deem it necessary to defecate and urinate with strangers. If you gotta go, you gotta go, so, here you go: in public crappers. I’ve talked with a lot of people about this disturbing reality and have always received agreement.‘Nobody enjoys the de-humanizing experience of impersonal johns. Smells, sounds, sights; not for the faint of fart. I believe that the preponderance of hostile graffiti on stall walls indicates that this procedure is indeed anti-social. The great Roman Empire is my example of this decay through defecation. It spanned many centuries anb faced many problems.

ALR ..II.- .---.,

But when the cards were down, wasn’t the “greatest Roman achievement” a vast network of aqueducts which led to the center of the city and its public bath houses? Wasn’t Caesar’s assassination planned in a sauna? Maybe. Maybe not. Probably? * Anyhoo, the Empire fell and where are they now? Nobody can explain why an empire cannot hang on to its rule. Why can’t the Edmonton oilers regain their domination of the NHL? I would offer the explanation that de-humanizaton occurred in the Roman Empire. People can only grow so much before they all get together and hate each other. This is why we eventually hate our room-mates. This is why we eventually hate our mates. Public bathrooms are the harbingers of the end of any society. Just claw your way into the Federation Hall men’s room on a Saturday night. I’m embarrassed to be human. Bathrooms.

ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDE: If I have a problem with democracy, I sure as hell am not going to voice my concerns by voting, This is the point I was trying to get through the skull of our illustrious editor earlier this week. Yes, No, it doesn’t make any difference, that’s the point. . . If I’d voted, I would have voted no, and before I get the “well if you didn’t vote, you don’t have any right to criticize” pack on me, a few words about not voting at all. I didn’t not vote because I was tired, couldn’t find my enumeration card, or was busy. I made an (non)effort not to vote because I refuse to take part in the final question at the end of a process that I wasn’t a Part of. The government of Canada and Ontario was not elected by me. I had no say in who they were. The idea that democracy somehow affords me a say is a joke. Democracy is a joke. It caters to the majority, and majority rule is as pathetic an excuse for ruliig people as fascism or communism. It is only defended because it supposedly “gives people a say.” Let’s take a look at that. When it’s said that it “gives” people a say, the implication is that we should be thankful we can vote because in many other countries, no one has a say in who their government is. Last time I checked, it was my right as a free-thinking individual to inake autonomous choices over my right to do what I wanted with my life so long #as it did not interfere with other people’s similar right. Liberty, remember? The whole point is that the government decides whether or n;ot I can vote, and what I vote on. They hand that liberty down to me like giving a pair of dull scissors to a child. The government decides when I

can vote (ie. when it thinks I may make the aforementioned “decisions” about my life) and what I can vote on. If I didn’t want to vote Yes or No, that was tough shit for me. This was tie decision I had to make from officials I did not elect about a policy I did not have a say in creating. “People” are defined by the govemment. They decide who gets a say, and although it’s supposed to be everyone over the age of 18, this arbitrary age is hardly a prerequisite I would use as far. as choosing people who would or would not make decisions for me. Oh, but I do get a say. A say in what? Whether or not the government goes ahead with a plan they decided upon? It seems as though there are far more important travesties of liberty going on here than the Charlettetown Accord might enact. Okay, so I’m complaining and there will be many out there who see n6 solutions from me and therefore will classify me as a cynic who sees no good in anything. I’m_offering a solution. A solution that puts the power in the hands of the people. It’s already in effect in . every country in the world, and is proven to work, it’s called a free market. You decide where your money goes and don’t have to bother with people making decisions for you. If you can afford it’ you get it, and if you can afford it, you can get anything. I’m not going to go into d&ail because I don’t have much room left, but come down to CC 140 and I’ll be happy to elucidate. One day I’ll write a feature or a book or something but I’ve got the rest of the arts section to do. The point: In order to criticize a process, it seems ludicrous that first, you must participdte in it. Not voting is an option.

On November 5, the team will be heading to Kingston to represent the University of Waterloo for the first time ever in the OWIAA playoffs. The determined Athenas will cha~~eeitherTorontoorQueen’s, who are still fighting for the eastern first-place position, in the preliminary rounds. Having never seen these teams in competition, the Athenas are unsure of what to expect but are well prepared to challenge any team for the OWIAA title, Last weekend, the Athenas were able to claim a playoff position by gaining three points in two games: a 2-l win over Windsor and a 0-O tie with Western. Once again, the Athenas were _ able to come from behind last Saturday against Windsor in a do-ordie situation. A win was Waterloo’s only chance for post-season play. Many key players have had to struggle with painful injuries but were able to overcome them for the benefit of the team.1 Catherine Hollifield, a fourthyear veteran, scored a beautiful goal from deep in the comer to even the score of the Windsor game, Rookie Tiffany Kanitz managed to score the winning goal after fighting her way through a crowd and deflecting the ball off of an unsuspecting Lancer. Nicole Wight suffered an injury during warm-up but still played an outstanding game. She has been strong and consistent throughout the season and maintains an outstanding goals-against average. After an even first half against Western on Sunday, the Athenas came out with a vengeance to outplay the ‘Stangs for the entire second half. The Western keeper was constantly challenged but played a strong game, withstanding numerous attempts by the Athenas. The one-point tie clinched the playoff spot and history was made.

As the Athenas took the field for the second half, it became apparent that their continuity had been lost., Unable to regain their previous momentum, the game ended in a draw. Saturday morning pitted UW against Queen’s Confusion on the field, due to players in unfamiliar posftions slowed down the defence, making it difficult to ad&Vance the ball down the pitch. This game also ended in a tie.

Goalie Jennifer Murray performed consistently and well for the two games. She made some amazing saves and gave the team confidence in her abilities. This weekends results put , Waterloo in fourth place overall. OWIAA finals are being played October 30,31, and November 1, with the Athenas meeting Queen’s in -their first crossover match on Friday. Adjustments in play have been made and Waterloo is codident that they will perform weR on Friday.

Playing only for pride, the Waterloo Warrior football team came up with come-from-behind 10-8 win over the Lancers in Windsor last Saturday, surviving six turnovers. The team finished with a 34 record, good enough for fifth place in the OUAA, just out of the playoffs. The Warri&s had to console themselves with nine OUAA allstar selections, including four firstteamers and seven members of the best defence in the league, a unit thatallowedonly90pointsinseven league games, best in the OUAA.

Mike Son scored from two yards out to cut the lead to 8-7 and a fourth-quarter field goal from rookie Adrian Galvan gave the Warriors the two-point final margin* Tom Chartier, in his last game for the Warriors, rushed 28 times for 135 yards. Despite gaining 336 net yards, turnovers plagued the Waterloo offence, with Chartier fumbling twice and Kevin Dans&inko throwing three interceptions,all toLancer Stacy Norton. Chartier finished the year with 142 rushes for 708 yards and two touch-

downs. Danschinko, starting at quarterback for the secondconsecutive week inplaceof injured regular starter Steve Rennet, did not show the same promise as he did against the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks the previous weekend. He finished 6+f-14 for 88 yards and the three picks. Rennet suffered an achilles tendoninjurytwoweeksearlierand held out of this game on a doctor’s . recommendation. “Kevin played poorly in the first half, but came together in the second half,” said head coach Dave “Tufv Knight. “It was good for him to get some game experience this season. That should tie for a more competitive training camp next year.”

Another bright spot for the Warriors this year was Mike Son, one of the few running backs behind Chartier on thy depth &art. He is the leading candidate to sueteed Chartier at the starting tailback position in 1993. “Mikedidn’tplaymuchagainst Windsor because of a deep thigh bruise,” said Knight. “But he did score our touchdown in the second half,” Neither passing games could get on track, as Waterloo’s defence li.mitedLqncerstarterRickLachance to 2-of-8 passing for 37 yards and one interception, that by Torhme Williams.

TheWarriorsdidnotdoubtthat they would beat Ryerson last Fridaynight;thequestionwas,byhow much?

The Gaels Couldn’t spoil Organ’s shut-out until 342 of the third period; by that time, Waterloo had already scored seven goals.

Soccer Warriors win one of two, miss playoffs by Neil lmpfint

Daniel sjMwt.8

The Warrior soccer team narrowly missed the OUAA West playoffs last weekend, getting only one of the two wins they needed to qualify. They finish the season with a 4-5-3 win-loss-tie record, giving them 11 points, not enough to finish inthetopfourinaverytoughOUAA West division. Head coach Ron Cooper, stepping down after this season, did a great job of moulding 10 veterans

and 9 rookies into a competitive team,withhelpfromassistant coach David,Benning. Cooper is largely responsible for building up a ‘team that qualified for the playoffs last year for the fiist time in a decade and narrowly missed the post-season this year. Trainers Rod Macinnis and Da&y1 Sherman contributed their skills and the Athena soccer team their moral support to the team’s success this year. The Warriors headed into the final two games of the regular season needing two wins to snag the

Last Saturday at Columbia Field was the setting for the Warriors’ clash with Windsor, 1-O winners over Waterloo earlier in the season. The Warriors started off strong, controlling the ball from the very start. Midway through the first half, veteran Everton Barnes worked the ball up the wing and threaded a pass upfield to rookie Chris Brown,

Lacrosse club scores second in division by the

Cacfwse

Club

Tenacious play by the UW Lacrosse Club has given them a second-place finish in the Ontario University Field Lacrosse Association’s Division II. Thekeyt&etea.m’&2record was strong defence, a quick breakout, and’ a patient and effective offence. ’ Two weekends ago, the Uw side took on a reinforced Wilfrid Laurier team. Although Laurier’s bench outnumbered our own by some ten players, the magic of Waterloo could not be dtied. The game was quite rough and the crowd was obviously delighted by the fierce competitiveness shown by both teams. Rob Bladon, chief of the defensive core, was instrumental in delivering many bone-crushing checks. Qne of his hits liberated the helmet off of the Laurier captain’s head. Combined with the “slash of the game” courtesy of Carl Burgess, Laurier’s captain was b@eaguered to say the least. Not to be outdone, UW goalkeeper Jason Payne felt obliged to flatten several Laurier players who strayed too close to the net. Unlike hockey (Canada’s other national sport), goaltenders are permitted to participate in the melee and quite often get hit more times than they hit others. Slashing is also permissable to a certain degree and is often a defender’s best bet to stop the tipposition. UW’s offence was led by the attacking force of Kevin veer, Jason Moyse, and Keith Chatham. Pinpoint passing by all members of the offensive unit led to a frustrated

Just exactly how far can this band of sctiffy, tigl~~HaligOnians

go? Just about as far as they want to, I reckon. The band is Sloan, and they’re pretty well the hottest thing this side of the border, right after the Jays, of course. Strolling along the edge of Canada-wide (and Stateside) stardom, their electric mixture of laid-on guitar, garage (or rather, ret-room) messiness, pop melodies, and clever lyrics make them well at home in the alternative scene, yet easily accessible to mainstream listeners (except for the funny feeling that deep down Hey, I can SW my house from up here inside, they’re laughing at us all). Move over Bryan Adams Sloan e&y pickings for impromptu and Celine Dion... your rock star case studies in successful indie posturing and exquisite fashion bands. “We weren’t too pleased sensestandnochanceagainstthese aboutthat,” admits Murphy. “Comguys, no matter how unwashed and paring us to a band as successful as smelly they look.

Game

Indeed, it was’ with divided loyalties I attended the BooRadleys first-ever appearance in the home of the World Champs. -Between watching Jimmy Key’s mesmerizing sinkerball with my left eye and the architects of one of the year% bestalbumswithmyright,Icouldn’t help but feel both ecstasy and frustration. As it so transpired, both performances were masterful albeit both aided by some great defense. IntheBooRadleyscase,atense effort was very nearly lost combatting some desperately lethal and clearly unintentional feedback which seemed to pin the band back at every turn Consequently, aSugar audience unfamiliar with the Boo Radleys, (yes, ‘the genuine article from Liverpool, not their Harper Lee inspired namesakes from Toronto), seemed similarly lost. Nevertheless, the Radleys perservered offering a generous set culled primarily from Euqfh@‘s AZrighl F&m, theiraforementioned brilliant latest release. Accordingly, that album’s characteristic tonal depth was well represented - the band moves from kick-ass rockers to sublime lullabies with shocking : ease - but it became readily’obvious that their more subtle numbers such as “Spaniard” and “Losing It” wouldn’t fare well, suffering as they were from the Spectrum’s notori-

dour acoustics. Their terse and melodicharder stuff, on the other hand, was remarkable. “DoesThis Hurt?“, “Lazy Day”, and “Memory Babe” were all particularly strong and thankfully spared the accustomed killer volume that more-often-than-not mahigu5~~typicalshoe-g~gper-

Just aS significantly, the Boo Radleys waste no time or expense withbackingtapesdespitetheirstu&o-works layered ambience. They just go about ripping through their repertoire without feeling the necessity to exactly duplicate their record. In the “oceanic” realm of things, that’s rare, welcome, and whatwegotoliveperformancesfor in the first place. Here’s hoping their next local Hogtown gig will be as a headliner and prior to the pennant rati. ----‘-am--The build up ;d this show was phenomenal. In the middle of the summer, I heard talk of a new band that Bob Mould was in. I hadn’t thoughtofHuskerDu/GrantHart/ Nova, Mob/Bob Mould in quite a while (and I never think of Greg Norton). After hearing the “Changes” single I was convinced that the new Sugar album would be one of the best @eases of the year. “Changes” and “Needle Hits E” were two of thebest tracksMould had done in years. I never found myself all that interested in Workbook or Black S!zeets of Rain, but I never gave them much of a chance. Then there was “If I Can’t Change Your Mind”, the true standout track for me. A beautiful and incredibly simple acoustic track that would find new life on the album. The album arrived and I was in my own blue heaven. If there was any doubt that Mould wouldn’t

Tuesday, October 20th was re&ynotoneofmybetterdays,Ajob prospect had fallen through and in my haste to get downtown and interview James, I left my wallet in a Mississauga restaurant, where I was lumhing. This meant doing a second Gardiner “Death Race 2000” run and the interview had to be called off. At least I wasn’t the only person having a shitty day.

shitty. T-shirt sales were as brisk as they were expensive, with Global Teens snatching them up with the zeal pf a Stitches bum-rush. Not that there was violence-quite the opposite in fact, although there was enough mashing and surfing to do any venue proud. James were first on to the delight of everyone. They are finally more than a few peoples’ choice these days and the adoration they received was almost touching. The band finessed their way through a 45 minute set. It was amazing how songs could start out quietly, but have incredible intensity by the last couple of chords. It worked like a charm and they held their adoring, singinglegions in the palms of their hands. Withtheshowcasing of new material, it meant that faves were leftunplayed,although’CanIhave the next one, please” was dedicated to Kurt Colbain. Afterwards, the crowd was insistent on an encore, that unfortunately did not get played. ‘OK,thoughtthekids,‘we’ll do our own’, and they proceeded to serenade the band with a chorus of “Sit Down” with passion not seen since last year’s FA Cup final. One of the problems

with acts that have been out of the public eye is that no one really knows what to expect from them. The Tom Tom

Club were an early 80’s band hopelessly trying to fill the void between Culture Club and Bananarama. Its the 90’s how and someone dug up the time capsule they were placd in. Some had better tell these guys that Siobhan Hunter now plays in Shakespeare’s Sister, At least they could get a job opening for Boy George in Vegas. The set featured a lame cover of “You Sexy Thing”, to which the Globals reacted with indifference. There were a few new age travellers who got off, but they were probably getting nostalgic. To shake the crowd from the lethargy, the DJ had to play House of Pain (I’ve never seen bodysurfing to recorded music before). Andsoitwastimef&heheadliner, and boy was I unprepared for the aural assault that was the Soupdragons. The real reason why they headlined and not James had to be the volume. Not that it wasn’t interesting, particularly the two projectors that were showing RPMlike images on the stage. Before, I had thought they were left over from a Learning Annex s&inar.

bassist Dave Barbe, Sugar was born a kindasorta super group that still hadendughfreshmaterialandgood ideas to create an amazing album. “Hoover Dam”, “A Good Idea”, “Helpless” they came with more energy on one disc than most artists can muster up in a whole career. With talk of another album ready for release, the hjrpe machine over Sugar was in overdrive. The concert had already been announced well before the release of the album, and although it had been in the back of my mind, it suddenly cam to the forefront, and the 2lst was upon us. No wonder1 wasdiasppointed.

The concert wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great was the probIern. In my mind, and in the mind of many others I suspect, here were three album and concert veterans who had enough experience to provide concert goem with (between them) almost two decades of musical enlightenment. Thatof course was the problem. It probably sounds as though I’m making excuses for the band, and I may well be; but the unremarkable show was, I suggest, as much the fault of the expectations of the crowd as they were in the band themselves. But, even if one looks at Sugar as a new band (a mental feat I am unable to accomplish) the show was still problematic. The two biggest problems being the lack of communication (“Thanks alot, we’ll see you again”) and the all too common problem that the songs being performed were simply not as good as the album versions. ’ One of Mould’s most attractive elements as a singer is his command of his own voice. This was sorely lacking in his performance at last Wednesday’s show. One of my favourite lines from C0mer Bltle is in “Hoover Dam”, where Mould sings that he is “right between two states of mind”. His voice wavers and eases up the scale, but at the show hesanglikeamanwantingtoget the song over and done with. The show was loud. Not to earringing excess (although others beg to differ}, although it seems like the band was paying all of its attention to the proper amount of distortion and feedback on the monitors rather than playing to a packed place and giving them their money’s worth. The Spectrum is a dive, true, but that had little if anything to do with theshow.Mouldandthegangcould very well have performed exactly the same at the sound check. It may pain you to read this, but it pains me more to write it. I know, I know, I should be telling it like it is rather than lamenting a mediocre performance by a band I like, but it’s difficult seeing individuals you know are capable of more, performing less than their capacity. Until they roll into town again (almost assuredly sometime next year), the new album &us& (due in April/March) will have to tide me over, They will do better next time. --

Blue Jays clinch World Series in Game Six Skydiggers

Sat. Oct. 24th by

Bryson Staff

12 midnight. Bottom of the ninth, two out, two on; 2-1 Jays. The stage was empty. Fed’s classic rock danbe had music ended, with J. Lennon’s “Imagine.” The game was notjustontheminusculeTVscreens flanking the bar, but drowning the dance floor too. Atlanta scored a run - extra innings. The band could put off their appearance no longer. They took the stage somewhat reluctant to leave the game. Half of the crowd was’ relieved, the other half remained at the bar. Long before, around the fifth or sixth inning, the Groove Daddies put in an hour long appearance, much to the pleasurF of their loyal, dance mongering fans. Their set, fuelled by white rock-funk, climaxed with a happening cover of

Steve Wonder’s “Superstition,” almost paralleling the Bourbon’s live version. Withthecrowd warmed Up by the Daddies’ pseudo-Seattle starter engine, we were left then to amuse ourselves and watch...baseball. So plentifuI were the faces turned towards the screen, I almost thought we were at the bomber. But then; the Jays almost choked, the game became drawn out, and .the band did appear onstagePerhaps taking note of’ their leader’s Blue Rodeo shirt, the band seemed 1-t together for their first hour. Their battle versus the game , was won decisively by the other side’s forces. They succumbed to asking for play-by-play between songs. ButthentheJayscamethrough in the top of the eleventh and saved the band fropl obscurity that evening. Withthegamehistory and the Jays World Series Champions, the Skydigger’s became the leaders of the party, launching into an impromptuversionof “Thechop stops ’

here.” The screens were abandoned, thedancefloorfilled,thebandcame to life. After a few minutes of mosh inspiring i%mming, the Skydiggers returned to their regularly programmed schedule. “Iwon’tgiveyouapennymore than you deserve,” was dedicated toJackMorris, “Monday~moming,” inspired by the coming Monday’s referendum. The band layed on, mixing old regulars wi :: new material from HResffess.N Eventually, with the crowd tiring - it was past 1:30 - the b,and said their farewells, and left the stage, returningonly tosing”IjustwMtt0 make love to you.” However unfortunate fir the Skydig ers and their noir-baseball loving f am, the evening belong+ to the Jays. But then again, twenty years from now, when the Jays are once again the worst in baseball andtheSkydiggersareoldandgrey, we’ll all be able look back and embellish our version of where we were when the Jays won the World Series.

If you paid to see Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, then you fucked up. Playing to a sold out crowd at the Spectrum last Monday, the Neds turned in what I would estimate to be their worst performance since learning to play together. Their rehearsals must be better than this. Suffering from an uncharacteristic lack of energy and plagued by technical problems, the band debuted 13 songs from their new album, Are You NomI? Most of these showed great potential and will undoubtedly sound better when the Neds return in January with the glitches worked out, but they fell flat on this night, partly due to the band’s uncertainty on how to end them. At least the Neds were honest about the outing. Lead singer JOM admitted they were “fuckirtg awful“ and thanked the audience for puttingupwiththeirimperfections. A major problem arose from the fact the release date of Are You Normal? has been pushed back (originally it was to have come out the day of thg show), causing the lead-off single, “Not Sleeping Around,” to be the only recognizable new song. After Jam called the audience “poor bastards” for “having to listen to so much new shit,” the Neds played “Kill Your Television” for appeasement’s sake. This successfully fired up the throng, as did “Happy,” “Capital Letters,” “Sdfish,” and “Crey Cell Green,” all from the band’s brilliant second album, Go&x&3er. Nothing from their first album, Bite, was played, however. The audience should be commended for their behaviour, especiahy in the face of the band’s subpar performance. Crowd surfing was the norm, and to most, the

#A Barid Wi.thout a-,B,elly TheThrowing Muses w/ The Flaming Lips Lee’s Palm, Turmtu October 27,1992 by Bemod Keamey imp&t staff

’

There is a certain amount of scrutiny the revamped line up of a successful band must endure. Curious onlookers and misanthropes alike-converge to inspect the new product. The Throwing Muses, offically now a duo, are no exception, Tuesday night, on the eve of the all important MVA vote, Metro Toronto were given their opportunity to cast yet another YES/NO vote. I’m not sure if it was because Mul?oney had absolutely nothing to do with the shdw, but th6 resulting decision was a resounding YES. One of the big questions on the tip of everyone’s tongue was “Would The Flaming Lips bum?” Everyone hates a bad pun and everyoniz hated the The Flaming Lips. I’m not sure who produced more feedback, the band or the audience. Overheard, at the end of their set, among other expletives - “Fuck

off nC“Go back to the fucking garage you came from” and “Oh,-gre&, they’re coming on for an encore, who the fuck cheered them cm?” ‘yes it’s true, they took an encore. The opening act took an encore. I don’t know whether to admire or admonish their audacity. I describetheFlamingLipsliveshow as follows: White light, white noise, white smoke, white idiot on stage breathing fire. An unassuming entrance to rivaltheminimalistsbge,TheThrowing Muses started earning their pay about 11:15 kicking off with an instrumental cover of Hendrix’s “Manic Depression”. Wasting’ no time they immediately followed with “Counting Backwards” giving the audience the first taste of Kristen Hirsh’s seraphic voice. Joined by the funkiest bassist ever (and he was wearing a way cool DIRT ball cap - the male ver: sion of Sassy), the trio, like the light show, were crisp, almost sanitary (of course, compard to The Flaming Lips, Nirvana would have sounded crisp).

After dusk last Sunday, Guelph’s Trasheteria held the first annual “Idiot’s Ball”, presented by ID magazine. The collaborative effort was a benefit for Amnesty Jntemational, an organization that works on three key aspects involving the betterment of humanity. These include the freedom to per-’ sonal; mental, and physical integrity, the right ‘to freedom of di.scrimination and the freedom to express one’s self. Petitions against various personal, societal and enviromental injustices,alongwithanassortment of informative literature, were presented by Amnesty International and HA.N.D.S. (Helping Activists L Network During Strife) for all who attended. Poetry readings tid the odd song filled the ears of those who temporarily inhabited fhe lesser smoke hazed room.

Sifting through the praise heaped upon ’80s bands is not an easy task.Fallinginandoutof grace, many one hit wonders were tiredieted to take over the musical world, and there are more than a few heavily underrated bands. It’s justifiable to pass over a band that receives a rave review or is even universally acclaimed. KiIling Joke deserve better than this. Their effect is bein felt more in the 90s with the rise o f industrial music than in the early eighties when they released their strongest material. As sad parodies, bands like Ministry and Nii Inch Nails try to capture the force and energy that the original KilIing Joke displayed and almost excIusively fail miserably.What better time, then, for a greatest hits record to concen-

Back in the 197Os, there was a tremendously influential guitar groupwhoeesoundinfhrenceddoz~ ens of aspiring young bands. Unfortamately, they more or less vanishedfromsightafterrehsinganly two records. Over a decade later, however, a long-awaited third album finally saw the light of day.. . But enough about Boston’s Third Stage. The topic at hand is Television’s eponymous third album Television reunites the original lineup that recorded the classic albums Marquee Moon and Aduenture ww singers and guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Llpyd, bass-

trate and filter through the back catalogueofoneofthebestbandsin recent memory. KiIlingJokedeservebetterthan thki. Whether Jaz or Geordie (the only constant members of Killing Joke) had anything to do with this compilation or not, it simply refuses to present an accurate picture of the Joke’s history. There are some outstanding selections such as the live version of “Pssyche” (recorded in Toronto) and the Joke’s first single “Turn to Red” which have never seen the light of disc, but for the most part, “Laugh? I Nearly Bought One!” is a failure. TheomissionofOutsidetheGute and Brighti tti B Thousand Suns is understandable. They are both admitted, b t& band themselves, to be solo a Ybums and not really Killing Joke records as such. The most represented album is undoubtedly Killing Joke’s weakest. There are four tracks from Killing Joke’s second album what’s this, for+‘.! While “Exit” and “Unspeakable” perhaps warrant space on a lengthy album such as this, “Butcher” and “Follow the Leader” could easily have been replaced by ‘Tension”. Although not a bad album, tracks are taken from here to the detriment of others. Their last

and greatest Dirt, Extremities and Various Repressed Emotions has only one selection, *‘Age of Greed”, leaving obvious choice tracks such as “MoneyisNotOurGod”forfansto fiid for themselves. The selections from ReveM& (perhaps their second best) and Night Time are fair (although “Tabazan” is overlooked). Fortunately tracks like “Chop-Chop” and “Eighties” are not overlooked. In between, we have B-sides such as “Sun Goes. Down” and an unreleased mix of “winterggardens”. The absence of live tracks and outtakes (especially considering tracks like the live and studio versions of “Pssyche” which never made it onto any album) is equally surprising. This album was supposed to be an album of remixes, or at least that’s what the rumour mill had suggested. Inlight of that concept, a simple greatest hits a&age, and one which is only ha s as good as it could have bm pales hcompari-

ist Fred Smith (no relation to Fred “Sonic” Smith, former MC5 bassist and Patti Smiths husband) and drummer Billy Ficca. (The legendary Richard Hell was also anearly member, but he split to do his own th+g before their recording career began.) These four bring together once again all the classic sounds that made MarqueeMoon one of the classic protepunk records of the 1970s. Granted, it has been 14 years. If Television don’t sound quite as revolutionary anymore, that is perhaps only a measure of how extensively their older work tis been assimilated into alter&&& &ck cuhure. Listening to a lzew (!) Television album freshly underscores the debt that artists like Echo and the Bunnymen, Lloyd Cole, Galaxie 500, and the Church’s Steve Kilbey owe to Verlaine and his band. The familiar elements of the old Television sound are all here. Particularly notable are Tom Verlaine’s rich vocals (with the release of this record, many people will realize for the first time just

how much of Lloyd Cole% vocal style is copped fro& Verlaine) an+ the brittle, brilliant, electric inter play of Verlaine’s and Lloyd’s lead guitars. Most of the song structures are traditionalist, butbecause of the bizarre guitar work they sound more unique than they are. And a couple songs--like “Rocket” and “Rhyme” - betray Verlaine’s more literary, pleasantly pretentious aims. Startdout pieces include “No Glamour for Willi” (which contrasts a wonky gtitar line, with a wonderfully cheesy chorus), thiz 0-r “1880 Or So”and “In WorlcLn ’ of course, these q#s are not as revelatory as “See No EviI” or “MarqueeMoon,“butthepyrotechnits 6f those songs wouldn’t be nearly as ground-breaking in 1992 anyway. And overall Television is probably a more consistent record than Marquee Mm. The bestsongs aren’tnecessarily classics, but they are consistently excellent, and there arefewerdullmomentsthan onany other Television album. A pleasant surprise.

Although there’s no rap by Prince himself, there’s a bit by one of the NPG.

Presenter (trumpet),’ B&n Lemon (piano), David Green (acoustic bass) as well as an Amerhn, David Fowler who narrates the disc as well as singing an excellent version of Billie Holiday’s “LoverMan”. The disc for the m&t part is an interesting document of Charlie Watts’ side project. As a rock’n’roll drummer, he’s already made his mark on popular culture as part of the Stones, but to see him engage in this kind of side project is quite heartening. The Charlie Watts quintet has gained quite a bit of attention over the past few years and rightly so, In one of their rare engagements in New York City at The Blue Note (where this album was recorded), the band’s cool-toned alto solos and the sprightly flight of Prescencer’s trumpet reportedly stunned the crowd in attendance. The question of course, is what exactly does ,Watts himself do, and the answer (of course) is drum - and directing. His drums are a slightly rigid attempt at the free-form jazz of the 309, but are without a doubt’as close as possible to the sound he’s trying to imitate as anyone has come.

In 1964, Charlie Watts wrote a childrens book based upon legendary Jazz saxaphonist Charilie Parker entitled “ode to a High Flying Bird”. No available in a limited edition box set, A Tribute to Charlie Parker with Strings is mostly a musical interpretation of the book, using pieces of Parker’s works broken by

The band does quite an excellent job at giving the Bird his just due, which is even more of a testament to Parker’s achievments. He is Jack Kerouac (if he could play the sax). Heisthekingofcool,andWattscoulddoa lot worse than to imitate him. Woods, on the other hand, doesn’t fair as well. It would be an interesting exercise if, for example, he was covering Delta BIuesman Robert Johnson, but instead, it’s more of the rocky blues-for-the4Os. It’s not that it’s all that bad, it’s just not all that good. This is much more along the lines of what one would expect as a side project from a Rolling Stone. It’s something akin to Primitive Cool, for example. In many ways, this is payback time for Wood. One of rock’s most common sidemen, onthisalbumhegrabsrockstamfromalmost every part of the world. On Slide On This, we’ve got The Edge, Hot House Flowers, Charlie Watts, and interestingly enough, Bernard Fowler who was co-w15te.r on most of the songs.

Perhaps the most intriguing element of this album is Woods’ voice. Although cornparisonstoDylanareoftenml?aningless,that’s who Woods comes across as. In some ways, it’s partly an attempt to imitate the haggard voice of men such as Johnson, Blind Lemmon Jefferson and other bluesmen,butWoodsdoesaddhisowntouch which builds upon the works of his predsors.

At long last the most anticipated release of the industrial genre is here. After breaking into the scene in 1989, Trent Reznor, who is NIN, set the standard to which all aggro bands aspired. His debut album, Pretty Hate Madim, is a classic, being compared by some to Roxy Music’s Amdon in terms of it‘s impact and brilliance. Aftershow-stoppingperformancesatthe first tillapalooza, Reznor has become industrial’s most quoted and perhaps most intelligent spokesperson. Pretty Hate has sold over a half a million copies, not bad for a debut on an indie label. Sot naturally the expectations of the new rnaterial;three yearslater,arealmost impossibly high. What NIN delivers is not totally unexpected. Reznor and producer Flood follow the recent trend towards a more gritty, distorted guitar based sound that sometimes delves into thrash metal (a la h4inistry). Thereasonforthisquicklybecomesclear. Compared toMinistry’s”N.W.O.,” Pretty Hate sounds almost tame now. Reznor had to raise the stakes a little and come out with a sonic assault that Ministry wouldbe hard-pressed to keep up with. By doing this, however, NIN may have lost some of their identity and originality, but tracks like “Happiness inslaveq” could only be ND& *

Ministry/grunge scene and I’d be hard pre&d to explain why Brokers is that different from them. But at the same time I find the album exl&rating. As the songs kick in, my

heartbeat rises and my adrenaline flows. I think industrial appeals to those who need that rush, and would prefer not to get it from caffeine. On this score Broken delivers. Lyrically, (yes, I’m commenting on lyric3 from an industrial band!) it sounds like both Pretty Hate and &&n’s lyrics were written at thesametitne,withthebetterlinesappearing on the debut release. It seems incredible that one person could have so muchmisfortune to write about or be so bitter. Lines like “well you think you’re having all the fun/you know I hate everyone.” will certainly keep the angst ridden disenfranchised youth happy on the dance floor, but one expects more from Reznor. I guess the lyrics aren’t such a high priority, because most of them are unintelligible in the mix. TheCDsleevelistssixtracks,butthedisc itself contains eight songs: tracks 1 to 6 and 98 and 99. So, if you want to hear the last two tracks you have to skip ahead.. .91 times. For thoseofuswhoowna&anan,thisisamajor inconvenience.

Brain the Size of a Planet

Mostly )Iarmless Douglas Adams $19.99

I’ll promise you one thing right now: I will not hint at the ending to Mostly HarmlessJike that guy at 73.e Star, and I will certainly not sue away the ending, like that bonehead at the Globe. You’d think they’d know better. MostIyHarm~~sisthefifthbook in the “increasingly inaccurately named” named Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, that ubiquitous, nerdy icon of popular sci-fi culture. First as the radio series, then as the novels, and then as the BBC low-budget TV mini-series (lower-budget than Dr. Who, even), The Hitchhiker’s Guide has made a small but important mark in science fictionjcomedy: the everchanging concepts of space and its relationship to time and dimension, coupled with Adams’ dry, devastatingly witty narrative, has expanded the genre of sci fi literature from something not merely entertaining, but also wholly (yet amusingly) perplexing. Adams manages to surpass his high standard of action and confusion, while still retaining the distinct iuality of humanity, in the form of Arthur Dent, the hapless

‘hiker. (What does humanity have to do with space travel? One of the prime concerns of s&i is the relationshipbetweenhumansandtheir greater place in space; just because thisisintheformofcomedy,doesn’t mean that it’s any less significant. I’m talking craziness, of course.) The tone and pace of Mostly Hamless is frenetic and confusing, but in the end, of course, it is ultimately satisfying. The former travelling companions have separated and gone their varied ways. Ford Prefect, intrepid space hitchhiker, makes one of his infrequent visits to the Hitch Hiker’s Guide Publications office and discovers that it’s been taken over by a multi-dimensional corporate publishing conglomerate, and it’s cooking up something very mysterious and very sinister, a completely new, completely baffling edition of the Guide. The. new management, furthermore, notknowing about the suicidally reckless credit history of its writers, makes the horrible mistake of issuing to Ford . . . a charge card. Arthur Dent, still hopelessly uncomfortable in any environment that is not his own home and garden, spends all of his time hopping back and forth through parallel universes, trying to find Earth, which was not destroyed, after all, by the Vogon construction cruiser, but had blipped through an anomaly of the space/time con-

In that piece I read in The Globe, the piece that gave away the ending, the reporter asked Adams if this was indeed the last book of the “trilOgJL”

Adams thought that he’d like to do another Dirk Gently, Holistic Detective book, and then write and host a ‘Ilr series, and then maybe do another Hitchhiker book, but he thought that for now, maybe he was finished, almost. I don’t believe it.

Kick out the JAM(C)S The Jesus and Mary Chain Curve and Spiritualized October 31 st Skybowl

I@/

by Sandy Atwul Imprint staff Appearing tomorrow (Saturday, October 31st) at theskybowl are one of the seminal guitar bands in British pop, Jesus and Mary Chain, along with two new bands that are gaining momentum overseas as well as in their native Britain, Curve and Spiritualized (the latter formed from the remnants of Spaceman 3). The Jesus and Mary Chain have languished in obscurity this side of the Atlantic for several years, Formed in 1984 by Glasweigian brothers Jim and William Reid, their unique brand of power-pop noise-drenched sounds along with strong melodies has finally found it’s culmination on their latest album Haney’s Dead. After the success of the Pixies’ version of Wead On”, the Jesus and Mary Chain slowly built their chart success until they finally found some well deserved success with Haney’s Dead. Leading the way is the single “Reverance”, banned by the BBC in England for its death-wish lyrics. I still think there’s no greater moment on the dance floor than a hundred go&losers singing “I wanna die”, Along with the J-us and Mary Chain are Curve, a band of shoegazers who have made a niche for themselves playing their own swirling brand of guitar meanderings.

Next week everyone’s favourite snotty-nosed, greasy-fingered, shabbily dressed Aqualung will be at Massey Hall. Yep,Jethro Tull will be returning to promote their latest album Tuesday and Wednesday (November 3rd & rlth, for those of you who need exact dates).

Rounding out the Trio are Spiritualized who, if they sound anything like their former incarnation Spaceman 3 should present the crowd with slow roaming guitar wisps not unlike Galaxie 500.

Having been around for over twenty years, JethroTull has an obscene number of albums - around 25; the show should feature a large collection of what’s unquestionably classicrock. The group’s front-man Ian Anderson is still going strong, and with the relatively recent release of a “retrospective” 4-CD set of Tull their memory is alive and well.

Hopefully, The JAMC will preview their new album, reportedly an all-acoustic set which may include Rock God Bob Dylan. Tickets are at the amazing price of $10.50 and rumour has it that the Skybowl is going to be decorated Iike the inside of a pumpkin for the show. Be there or don’t.

The group’s heyday was in the 70’s, and interest in them (and, to be honest, their musical quality) dwindled over the; 80’s. They are vahantly attempting a comeback, however, and the tour will hopefully help them regain their former glory. Nothing is easy, but they should be able to pull it off. If you’re a fan, this show is one not to be >missed.

Mr. Saturday

by Jennifer

Epps staff

The bathos just oozes out of Mr. Saturday Night, Billy Crystal’s directorial debut. Crystal portrays Buddy Young, Jr., an aging comedian who has lost his popularity andmuchofhisincome.“Getmean audience,” Buddy begs his agent. “Any audience !...Every night I go to bed, there’s a little less of me.” The movie might I-t~e been called Death of a Vuud&llean; you’ keep expecting Buddy to hiss at unresponsive crowds, “I am not a piece of fruit!” (He looks like one though-it’s a crude make-up job.) Buddy’s wife even comes close to wailing: “Attention must be paid!” Sorry, my attention span isn’t that longsuffering. Crystal co-wrote the script with Lowell Canz and Babaloo Mandel, whichought to tip viewers0ff.Gan.z and Mand&‘l are responsible for City Slickers, Parm!hmd and (the more enjoyable) A Leqpe of Their Own. It’s hard not to like Crystal-he actually makes the Oscars entertaining-butifhehadn’tknownhe’d be playing the stand-up comic, wouldhehave written a screenplay like this, would he have seen anything interesting in it? It wraps its&tightly around thisboorishmanipulator and doesn’t let go, not even to tell a story oi: deve&p characters. We don’t get to know Buddy’s * family,eventiughthefilmissupposedly about how he mistreated them in his monomaniacal pursuit of fame. We’re never allowed to sit backandadmirethebaclcstagesqencry, even though show business is what Buddylivesfor. All we get for our endurance is a movie that is as pushy and tasteless as its protagonist. Buddy has the in-your-face

style of Don Rickles or Rodney Dangerfield; he dares the audience not to laugh. Similarly, Crystal’s directing spells everything out for us, loudly. Close-up! see, he’s crying! Hold that shot as he stares through the rainy window-see,his feelings are hurt! It’s as if Crystal, like Buddy, keeps asking: “Didyou see what I did there?” As a director, Crystalhasabsolutelynosense of timing. And it fails him as a screenwriter, too. C&hphrases are repeated interminably. “Did you see what I did there?” is actually a refrain to A) underline that Buddy is always “on”; 8) point up the bond between him and his loved ones. Loving or not, after the six hundred and forty-eighth time, you have to fight not to rip up the seat cushions. It doesn’t have to be this way. “You’re not a comedian,” Buddy’s brother shrieks. “You’ie a terrorist!” Now that’s interesting. Why don’t we PURSUE that? Films don’t have to be about cuddly people--aging Bull showed us a completejerkwhokeptmakingthesame mistakes over andover, and it never felt cramped and pin&ed like Mr. Satwday Night does. But Crystal and his collaborators are uncomfortable focussing on an ambitious performer who ruined all his chances and drove away everyone who cared about him. &oh, that% not funny So instead, they give us flashbacks that reveal nothing (except how far back those cutesy catchphrases go), they sensationalize a series of arguments between the hero and his brother, they sentimentalize Buddy’s decreased stature, and then they grab a Family Ties conclusion--Alex Keaton as sweetie. David Faymer is cast as Stan Yankoli, the loyal sibling. (Buddy changedhisnametobecomeastar.) As boys, the duo were a comedy team; they w&d put on shows in the living-room, tickling their Elatives with imitations of h&m. This happens to be what Crystal did as a

young agent, seems to have a little more fun, and Ron Silver, a Hdlywood filmmaker enthusing over Buddy, perks up the movie beyond his two scenes. How is Crystal? Well, this is the crusty old Jewish character he used to put into his act (and even slipped into Soap); he’s got him down pat. He loves these rhythms. As writer and director, he can’t stretchthesketchhumourtomovielength, but moment bv moment,
