New president chosen to replace Wright James Downey, former presidentoftheUniversityofNewBru.nswick, will be the next president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo. He will succeed Douglas Wright, who has been UW’s president for two terms, since 1981. Downey, 53, a professor of English at UN, will assume the office as soon as mutually convenient, but no later than next July 1. His term will run until June 30,1999. His appointment was announced Nov. 5 by MichaelGarvey, chairman of UW’s board of governom, after special meetings of the university’s senate and board Wednesday night. Downey has also been appointed a professor of English at UW. “The presidential nominating committee was extremely enthusiastic in recommending James Downey Dr.Downey to the senate and theboard,” Garvey said. “Throughout his career, Dr. Downey has been an articulate advacate, both within and outside of the academy, for education and lifelong learning. Earlier this year, he co-authored a major report on &e New Brunswick tiublicschool svs,tern,” he said. a “We’re excited bv his demonstrated leadership ability and the rapport that he & able 6 establish wi& people. He is an individual who, *we Ieel, will provide strong, balanced leadership for both t&e internal and extemil communities of the university,” Garvey said. Downey mid he has ‘long admired from a distance what the University of Waterloo has accomplished in its relatively brief history, establishing throughout Canada and beyond a reputation for achievement and adventure.” Dowmywasbomandrecekd his early education in Newfoundland. After graduating with a BA, B.Ed., andMA from Memorial Uni-

WLUSU election scandal forces resignation The Student Union at Wilfrid Laurier University has become embroiled in post by-election politics. On Monday, October 26, students voted in their board of directors’ byelection, only to have the results disputed by candidate Jim Lowe. Lowe’s dispute arose over the alleged violations of Union by-laws by board of director member Clark Chu, reported WLU’s The Cmd on October 29. Chu allegedly campaigned on election day, an infraction of WLUSU by-laws. However, at an election council meeting the day after the election, Lowe withdrew his complaint
on the grounds that it would not effect the election results. The election council has since refereed the matter to the dean’s advisory committee. Deputy returning officer KathleenWon~quoledbyTheC~~~, said that “on more than one incidence Clark [Chu] was telling people to ‘vote for Kerri w&arthy]’ and ‘not to vote for Jim [Lowe].” Chief returning officer Darren Mahaffy was also quoted as saying that he “warned Clark [Chu] once during the day against campaigning on election day.” In response, Chu was quot& “I simply stated how and why I voted,” The Election Council also re-
leased the statement that “the council regards the actions of Mr. Chu as wholly inappropriate and warranting discipline.” Since the incident, the Chu has resigned his seat on the board of directors and it is still unclear as to whether there will be another election. According to Curd news editor Sheldon Page, the board may try to go ahead withthe seat empty. However, this would be in direct violation of WLUSU by-laws, “The issue is not dead yet,” tid Page. TheUWFederationofStudents by-laws also prohibit campaigning on either election or referendum days.
UW ranks number one with Maclean’s by Peter

A&clean’s has done it again, but this time with better results for the University of Waterloo. In the magazine’s second annual ranking of Canadian universities released Monday, Waterloo has come out on top of its catagory: universities with comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs, but without medical schools. Last year, Waterloo placed 22x-d out of 46 Canadian universities in Maclean’s’ first crack at the ranking. The magazine quickly came under fire from many sources, including UW president Doug Wright, for perceived faults in the methodology used. This year, Simon Fraser University, fhe University of Guelph, and the University of Victoria were ranked second, third, and fourth in the 12-school “comprehensive” pool.
McGill University led the way among universities with medical school, followed by the University of Toronto, Queen’s University, the University of BritishColumbia,and McMaster University. Wilfrid Laurier University scored fourth in the third category, universities which are primarily undergraduate. Mount AllisonUniversity, Trent University, and Acadia University topped that pool. Wright sees this year’s survey as a great improvement over last year, but still sees flaws that may be unresolvable. 0ne of those is the comparison of grades between universitiesindifferentprovinces. Since there is no standard high school marking system nation-wide, these comparisons are inaccurate. Wright told Imprint that he doubts that a more refined comparison couldbe made, such as on a program-by-program basis, since thefundingforspecificdepartments withinauniversityisalmostimpossible to isolate.
In its pool, Waterloo ranked first in 4 of the 22 nieasurements: proportionofthestudentbodywho graduate, student awards, proportion of faculty with PhDs, and a reputationalsurveywhichwassent out to “2,000 senior university officials, fellows of The Royal Society of Canada, heads of corporations and senior public officials across Canada,” Also in its pool, Waterloo scored first in all four parts of this reputational survey: highest quality, leaders of tomorrow, most innovative, and best overall.

Careers: choice and change conference=
Pitfalls of the marketplace force change by Robin Imprint
.’
Kulbflekh
Stuff
Times are changing: mergers, layoffs, early retirement, job retraining and entrepreneurship are now commonplace in the work environment. The average Canadian can exl pect to change careers six times within their working life. As a result, factors such as education and hard work no longer guarantee steady employment. To be successful in any business in the 9Os, you must have the skills to adapt to this rapidly chang ing environment. At “Business Success for Women,” a conference held on November 1st at the Valhalla Inn, women participated in a number of workshops to explore the personal skills development necessary for
survival in today’s workplace. The conference was sponsored by K-W womenin Networking and the Federal Business Development Bank. One of the seminars, entitled “Careers: Choice and Change,” focused on the factors to consider whenmakingacareerdecision. The seminar was led by MavisJohensen, a counselling coordinator for the Kitchener office of the Canadian Employment Center. According to Johensen, anyone looking to change careers should take the time to assess three major elements: personal skills, the occupation, and the labour market. The personal assessment applies to both self awareness and skills identification. Although it is difficult to assess personal characteristics such as temperament, interests, and values, these are important factors to consider when mak-
ing a career change. For example, we may have skills in a particular area but not the personality or temperament to be successful in that field. 0ccupational and labour market assessment includes determining what training and education is required as well as researching environmental factors and trends. Johensen told seminar participants that the best sources for this type of information are the actual employers. She encouraged participants to conduct what she called an informational interview to get the most accurate and timely information about a sp&fic industry. Johensen concluded her talk with a few general comments about the rapidly changing work environment. She warned against getting too comfortable in any job. Essentially,nomatter how old youare or how much experience you have, you must always be prepared to adapt quickly and effectively to change. This mentality of change is one of the most important skills to develop, whether youhavebeen working for many years or you are just entering the job market.

It was ten years ago that University of Waterloo student writing was given a voice. Poelhaus led the way in 1982 with a student publication for poetry. The book has survived a decade and seen two name changes and a brand new format. First changed to Online, the name was revamped to a less clinical sounding Phoenix, in the spirit of rebirth. Rebirth isthe focus of the edrtors, Lindsay Stewart and Clint Turcotte, whb began the process as assistant editors to Shirley Moore and Tamara Knezic, PFzoen& founders in 1991-92. They realize the student voice is very important to many students andtheyplantocontinuetheawareness thenew book has received. An increase in submissions is only one indication of the interest that students have in writing and small press publishing. Inanage of information and computers, the small press has become a powerful tool for the voice of the people. A celebration of student writing has become a celebration of ten years of student writing, and the two editors plan to possibly devote a section of the book to special alumniwhohavepublishedoncampus. These include George Eliot

This fact disturbs the two editors, who findit astounding that the university has not taken an active position in preserving records of these publications. So far, editions of P&UUS and Online have been recovered through the years 198!592, but anyonewithaccess toearlier copies would be asked to inform the editors via the Phoenix mailbox in the Federation of Students office, CC 235.

the non-archival status of student writing. I%e~~ix, along with the name change, has a new form;rt. Instead of devoting itself entirely to poetry, the book will accept submissions of almost any media: poetry; short fiction (500 words or less); graphic art; photography;opinion;graffiti;song lyric; etc. Students are encouraged to submit to their university publication and see their names in the historic annals of print. The sad’ state of creative writ-
ing at Waterloo is bemoaned by the two editors with the loss of the writer in residence program to the recession. Few people, if any, know thatEarleBimeywasthefi.rstwriter in residence here at Waterloo* He even wrote a poem about his experiences here, should any chose to look it up. Courseofferingsarelimitedfor creative writing, and publications such as PIuKlrix receive less publicity than they deserve. However, there is hope. A former writer in residence, Gregory M. Cook, left a legacy of writing workshops which are now in the hands of The English Society along with Edmond Chow. Workshops take place every Thursday night, 7~00 p.m., Hagey Hall 334. Everyone is welcome to come o,ut and participate; workshop your prose! A calendar of guest writers reading their work is posted in St. Jerome’s PS well as on the The English Society door, HI4 262. Check it out, urge the editors. The Phoenix editors would encourage anyone with something in print to submit it, along with a selfaddressed stamped envelope, to the Phmix mailbox in CC 235. Deadline for entry is December 10,1992. Anyone interested in getting involved with the actual book, Clint and Lindsay are looking for assistant editors. Apply to same mailbox. They would also advise to watch for future Phoerti;r events, such as poetry readings and coffee houses. The future of student writing is reborn from the glory of flames.

The University of Waterloo Federation of Students hosted an informal round-table disc~&onthis week withstudent government representatives from across Ontario. In attendance were student leaders from Guelph, Western, Algonquin College, Toronto, Brock, Windsor, McMaster, Carleton, Queen’s, Glendon College, and Ryerson. The delegates discussed topics ranging from frosh week-activities and date rape campaigns to student life projects and how to run student governments effectively as businesses. Eme Onuoha of McMaster described some of the innovative fro& week activities at theHamiltonuniversity, such as 5urviva1’92 ”a _ program where upb year students tell frosh whattheywishtheyhad known in first-year. The UW iieds’ general manager Fred Kelly described his position as overseer of the business side of theFederation,a corporationwith a budget over $4 million per year. He urged the delegates to keep the business and political aspects of their student governments completely separate. He used beer prices as an example, saying that some student politicians want to keep pr$ces low for political reasons. In the UW Federation, Kelly said, the elected executive setpolicy guidelines and the full-time business staff set prices within those guidelines. Studentdirectedprojectscoordin&or John Leddy then gave a synopsis of the process by which UW students are getting some new facilities over the next few years. Many of the delegates warned the Waterloo Federation to be wary of the university’s administration wanting to take control over the student life centre completely once it is finished.

Lecture on .-. Islamic fundamentalism by Eleanor Grunt special to !mprint “Islam is the religion clos;est to Christianity,” . said Professor Muhammad Elmasr$ Director of El&Cal and Computer Engineering at UW and president of the K-W Islamic Association. He was speaking to an audience of 50 at the University of Guelph on October 28. “Muslims believe in the miracles performed by @us and in his virgin birth, yet Christians do not know. Islam is always given a sinister image in the West.” The topic of his lecture was Islamic fundamentalism, or more specifically, the function of an Islamic state. In Westemhistory,Professor Elmasry pointed out, “Cluistians had a bad experience with the Church(inparticularthebitterwarfare which followed the Protestant Reformati0n) and this caused the separation of church and state. But forMuslims,wemadeourpr0gress (intheMiddleAges)becauseofour religious strength.” “The values cherished in the West are Islamic values/ he said. “Islam was spread by menchants, not by warriors. We are the ones who pr0pagated tolerance.” Muslimslivedinharmonywith the Native people wherever they went, he pointed out, developing theec0nomyandrulingacommonwealthof equal peoples. They were not colonialists. The task of the Muslim community, Elmasry explained, is to establish a social order. He quoted from the Holy Koran: “They are those who, if We (God) give them power on earth, will establish prayer, pay the z&at (alms-tax), and command the g00d and forbid the evil.” The aim is to create a social order which facilitates the practice of goodness. The Islamic state is an instrument developed by the community to Serve this purpose. “It is not a theocratic state,” he said, “the
head of state is elected by the peapie.” Every Muslim is obliged to be concemedfortheaffairsofthewh0le people - to support the oppressed and establish justice, he said. Elmasry went on to contrast the concepts of democracy, the welfare state, and the Islamic state. “Democracy is a system of human reasoning and social experimentation without being valuecommitted or ‘ded by Divine revelation. The Is K ic system is based on human reas0ning which is committed to Divine revelation in b0th values and methodology . . I “The domain of the state is the affairs of both this world and the hereafter. The government should help me to invest in the hereafter, just as it helps me with my retirement. “A welfare state ties to prevent poverty and lack of education or medical care. But an islamic state has as its objective to free people from the narrowness of worldly affairs. The welfare state is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for an lslamic state, “The government should not emphasize just economy, economy, economy,” he said. “it should cultivate a vast vision of a God-given univeme. The worship of God alone leads to equality in our affairs.” The lecture concluded with some reflections on the state of Islam today. The Muslim lands were in decline, Elmasry pointed out, from about 1400 to 1900. But since the&d of World War l3 Muslims have been getting ‘rid of Western colonialism. “First they tried the Watern system for their countries. It has not worked. ‘Now they are looking at the Islamic way.” l
Hec0ncludedonanoteofhope for Islam. “We have more youths in the mosques now than ever before. A strong community and political organization will come.”

The Oka conflict, audience response to Dances Wifh Wolves, and the effects of globalization will be among the topics explored at a conference on 1492 and the 500 years since at Wilfrid Laurier University on Saturday, November 7. The public is invited to attend and participate in discussion at the day-long event entitled “Reelecting on 1492: Past and Present.” There is no registration fee. Co-organizer Iwona Irwin-Zarecka, a professor of sociology and communication studies, says the purpose of the conference is to stimulate and inform discussion about the legacies of 1492. “How should we view these last 500 years? HOW can an understanding of history
help us better appreciate the current concerns of native peoples?” Based on their ongoing research, Laurier professors will examine the subject from disciplines as far ranging as philosophy, history, English, anthroplogy, sociology, fine arts, music, and biology. The conference will conclude with a keynote speech by Ronald Wright, author of Stolencontinents: The “New World” Through Indian Eyes since 1492. In this recent best-seller, Wright confronts readers withnative perspectives on the New World conquest. He chronicles five civilizations in the Americas over the five centuries and delineates the connection between past events and current problems. The conference, starting at 10 a.m., will be held in the Paul Martin Centre on campus. Wright’s lecture will begin at 330 p.m.

Last year, when the University of Waterloo was ranked 22nd out of 46 in Moclean’s survey of Canadian universities, 1 whined requisitely. So now, the more enviable job of gloating is mine. Of course, these surveys do not mean a lot, of course it is like comparing apples and oranges. But it is still heartening to see Waterloo recognixed for its national and international reputation, especially just a fortnight before homecoming weekend. Luckily, Modeun’s has corrected almost all of the blockheaded errors in methodology that marred lastyear’s survey (you remember, don’t you? Comparing all 46 universities, regardless of programs offered; including co-op students out on work terms in denominator of per-student calculations; ranking schools in large urban areas against others in terms of residence beds per student, and so on). Despite the imperfections in the survey, it still tells us a lot about this university; it tends to confirm things, both bad and good, that we knew either intuitively or from other sources. Of course, our high rankings in the opinion surveys come as no surprise, especially in the areas of “most innovative” and “leaders of tomorrow.” . But this supvey has a lot more to recommend it than a chance for Waterlodes to pat themselves and each other on their backs. We can also use it to ask ourselves: how can we improve this university. UW, as president Doug Wright pointed out in Mudtan’s, has always encapsulated a delicate balance between “relevance and academic excellence.” Cooperative education combined with the high level of scholarship have made UW a truly unique university. Although innovation and caking chances are largely responsible for Waterloo’s success and reputation’ we should still look around us in the university community for ways to improve this institution. Since we are at the top of our category, why not look for ideas at another first-place school: McGill University, which topped the category for larger in&utions with medical schools. UW should not only strike a balance between relevance and academic excellence’ but been research and teaching, undergraduate teaching in particular. Clearly, Waterioo’s pioneering cwp program shows commitment to undergraduates to go along with its reputation for research. But class size is also a barometer of this commitment. Madcon’s evaluated class sizes in three ways: median cfass size in first year, class size at the first and second-year level, and class size at the third and fourth-year level, UW finished 8th out of I2 in the first category and 10th in each of the second and third. In comparison, McGill finished first in the first category, second in the second, and seventh in the third, out of I5 schools in its pool. Decreasing class sizes will cost money that the provincia1 government is not planning to give us any time soon, but a universe with he reputation for innovation and creativity that UW enjoys should be able to improve on this essential barometer of quality of education.

In many ways, the referendum vote, like the~~o~thatbn>ughttheNDPto~w~in Ontario, was largely reactionary, Part of this reactionary tendency is probably a result of the economic malaise that continues to grip I_ the nation. Yet, it also reflects a deeper feeling of in which conventional polio “anti-politics,” tics are viewed as ineffective and out of touch with the common citizen. This mood is embodied inboth the United States and Canada by the willingness of voters to embrace such populist posers as Ross Perot and Preston Manning respectively. These anti-politicians build their political platforms around attack_* ing and rejecting current political conventions while, at the same time, failing to suggest viable alternatives. Similarly, there is a growing tendency in Canada to support political groups that represent narrow or regional interests, (e.g., the Bloc Qu@cois and the Reform Party).

Atwal? Get rich off a book?!? To the
editor,
By cryptically suggesting that political power be based on purchasing power (in Oct. 30’s Paranoia) Sandy Atwal has gained my enduring respect as a controversialist: after all, it takes a certain kind of ideological sang froid to advocate an unrestrained market/politics - a “cashocracy”, presumably - in the pages of a publication which could not exist if it depended upon subscriptions and the work of paid staff. It Mr. Atwal truly fantasizes about a world where our desires and reality could enjoy a one-to-one relationship through a “pure” free market, throwing off the intolerable yoke of democracy, he should more closely consider what he admits is “already in effect”: as a means of expressing opinion, market exchange is limited and self-limiting. A purchase is a single selection from a limited array; the array’s range is determined strictly by production, a process over which no single individual has control, but in which all must participate in order to survive (this would sound eerily like voting were it not for our current rights to run for office and change the system, and to ignore the process altogether without being marginalized). In other words, Mr. Atwal would be “choosing” within a context he has no power to directly change through his “choices”; this condition is already, I believe, the cause of his distemper. He thinks he would have “a say”. He might; what authority his “vote” would carry beside those of Conrad Black, the Braand the Reichmans is a more urgent question. Very li.kelyf resources would soon be put to the sole task of making the rich richer regardless of the . need for, say, more women’s shelters or sane abortion laws. Admittedly, it is a seductive world which lives without intelligent discussions, which needs only a few millionaires to get their buses running on time; but God only knows what kinds of buses, if any, would run in my neighbourhood, and Mr. Atwal’s. In a cashocracy, equality and social justice would, of course be lost causes. The near-worthlessness of the market as a
guarantor of human rights is notorious, and needs no redundant testimony here. We need only remind ourselves that Adam Smith masterminded the modem capitalist state at a time in England when a fraction of the population owned property, voted, and were truly “free”; and it has not been the market making changes since then. As a student, Mr. Atwal would not have much “say” in his society, no matter how brilliant he was. Of course, his lot would be better than that of the poor, who would not be able to “vote” at all - an injunction now imposed on federal prisoners and the insane, and a luxury Mr. Atwal already affords himself with pride. Nevertheless, Mr. Atwal’s book will make us both rich. I’ll gladly buy it and publish my own, detailing why the former was nonsense. The vexing question is whether or not Mr. Atwal could buy it without casting a “vote” for the opposition. Would the motto of his brave new cashocracy be “Ignorance is Bliss”? Shame. James

Ned’s problems explained To
the
editor,
I attended the Ned’s Atomic Dustbin concert on October X,1992 as did Kenton Augerman, the reviewer for Imprint. I respect the review that Kenton gave the show (Imprint, October 30f 1992) He expressed feelings of disappointment and estimated that this was “their worst ptirformance since learning to play together.~ Personally, I thought that the concert was exciting and overall pretty satisfying but that’s beside the point. I just wanted to say that one of the reasons why the band might not have sounded as good as expected is that the band was forced’to rent some equipment for the show, due to an untimely mishap. According to the lead singer John, in a pre show interview on CFNY, the band’s equipment van had caught fire, thus leaving the Neds without their own guitars, amps, and other necessary equipment. The details were sketchy as to the cause and extent of the damage, however, the bottom
Xmprina Friday, November
line was that they had to rent equipment hours before the show. Likely the band members found the equipment unfamiliar, and perhaps they were left with less time to warm up that evening. Now I’m not trying to make excuses for the band; I’m just letting Mr. Augerman and any other Neds fans know what might have caused the band to have so many “technical problems” during that particular show.

I considered Dave Thomson’s thoughts on Blue Jay Mania and found them long on spleen and short on imagination. Do you really have no idea why we choose to root for a bunch of American millionaires who came to Toronto to play ball? Canadians all across the country designated them as a symbol of “Canadian-ness” - and as you know, the links between a symbol and that which it represents is only a convention. We knew it was a fiction, but at a time of disunity we needed an icon of people pulling together and the Jays provided it.

I would like to express a thank-you to Philip C. White, Ph. D, Varsity Rugby Coach M&aster University, for the criticism he levelledatmyjoumalisminthearticleIauthored, “Rugby Warriors out of playoff hunt: Mac’s rough play ignored by referee.” (Oct. 23,1992) I am amazed that my article seems to have been so widely read. Moreover, I would like to apologize as my evaluation of the official’s effort led Dr. White to formulate a reply that was m&representative of my creative intents. It is unfortunate that my opinions were interpreted with such bitter analysis. I sincerely believe his remarks from “ Rugby bellylaughs” (Oct. 30,192) will make me a more responsible and conscientious author in the future. However, I was very disappointed that his arguments displayed an extremely biased attitude and took on slanderous tones reminiscent of the smear tactics employed in U.S. election campaigns. I respect the achievements and instrumental efforts Dr. White has led because of his intense devotion to the sport of rugby, both at the University of Waterloo and M&laster University. I hope the letter was notproducedbyananonymouspersonclaiming to represent Dr. White’s views. It is hard to believe a person of his experience and influence would find it necessary to express the defamatory personal opinions about myself. I will avoid personally insulting him in
return.
Therefore, I feel it is important to defend myself and my article from the attack the questionable letter directed at me as my own ability was left in doubt. The first issue I will address is the leading by-line, “Mac’s rough play ignored by referee” that definitely presents the reader of my reportwithapre-judgementalbiasagainst Mac. Regrettably the sour grapes impression this line expressed withsuchimmediacycannot be attributed to my penmanship. My role as a journalist was to write a game account that would maintain the interest of the paper’s audience. The article obviously stimulated wide readership due to its contents, but the choice of titles to create the initial spark of encouragement and catch the reader‘s eye was the pro-Waterloo work of our editorial staff, My dissatisfaction with the results of the game should also not be construed as a lack of awarenessoftherulesthatdictaterugbylaws. The flow of the game requires that the official allow for the advantage to take precedent over penalizing a team and it is possible for the referee to revert to the original offence and so dismiss a later offence. I do stand by my accusation of the referee displaying consistent ignorance with partial basis upon the fact that neither team was ever warned to keep the play civilized. At this point however, I should have offered a more constructive criticism that the official did not communicate his decisions with authority, and left his interpretation of play open to question. The attempt at denial of witnessing any

violence by trying to establish an apparent lack of credibility in my reporting through associations of polite post-game conversations is a thinly veiled obscuration of the truth. Rugby is a rugged sport and coach White is aware through ample experience that events frequently occur that escape the notice of the referee. I accept responsibility for erroneously reporting a score of Mac 34, Waterloo 13, and must credit the official with keeping a more accurate tally. I hope that you will forgive this mistake for two reasons First, I must claim that my concentration ttuoughout the game centred upon playing my best with little thought to worry about the score. Secondly, it demonstrated that I would rather give excess credit to the opposing team than cheat them from their well-earned efforts. My expressed disappointment in the major role I felt the officiating played was not clearly presented because of brevity. Let me state that I sincerely believed that two of the tries scored and converted against us had ensued from disputable judgements in close proximity to our goal line. The result would still leave M&faster with the victory, but with a much slimmer margin. The frustration was meant to reveal thecrushedhopesourteamexperiencedwhen time became the final factor that would end all possibility of a Waterloo post-season. I would like to apologize to the official for incurring any misrepresentations upon the Waterloo Warrior rugl: 7 coaching staff and members of the team. continued

Choice not to vote is tacit agreement After reading last week’s “Paranoia” column by our wonderfully logical Sandy Atwal, I feel the need to present an opposing view. Being one of the people present at the attempt by Sandy to “get through the skulI” of Pete Brown, I think it’s appropril ate for me to explain my position. Sandy, you claim that democracy is a “joke,,, that the governments currently in power were neither elected nor supported by you. True, if you did not happen to vote NDP in the provincial, or PC in the federal elections, then they were not “elected” by you. However, to claim that majority rule is the same as a-dictatorship is silly and a pathetic case of sour grapes. How often does a population get to remove a dictator from office without violence? Majority rule is the same as fascism or communism? Please. Elitist, lopsided, perhaps; but don’t get carried away. Democracy in Canada may be imperfect, and the system in need of change. But is it really that bad? The question of whether governments really represent their populations is valid there are few checks on their actions, aside from elections every four or five years. If you voted against a party, and they win, then you probably will not agree with their actions. Tough shit, Sandy. Democracy is flawed and far from “ideal,, (I am defining “ideal” as everyone, from dreamers to cynics, fascists to commu-
nists, having an equal and fair say in proceedings affecting them, and everyone more or less satisfied with the results). However, you fail to give any solution to improve upon, or replace, our system. To attack the institutions already in place, without an alternative, is poindess. tips. That’s right - you allude to a laissez-faire government, a free market (I’m assuming that you still accept the existence and necessity of some form of government). So the boys with the most toys gets what they want. This is to be more fair than democracy? What happens, Sandy, when someone can out-purchase you, and does something you don’t like? Enough about democracy. I may not have presented the most solid or eloquent defence of it, but I did not intend to. You claim, Sandy, that the system treats the electorate like children, and that “it seems ludicrous that first, you must participate in it.,, How else do you expect to change it? Violent overthrow? Or will the government eventually say “gee, people are not voting. Let’s all resign and install a new form of government,,? Revolutin by apathy may seem to you to be a cause worth pursuing, but I can’t really see it. Our current system, rightly or wrongly, is democraticThere ark a limited number of ways to inform governments of your wishes. One is to write to your Mp or MPP. Another is to call, or to show up at

Soul
There is something about Russia that exerts at pull and fascination. Perhaps it is the E OLIS “Russian soul’, that has such power. I am unsure as to how to pinpoint what a cult ture’s “soul,, is, but is seems in Russia to have something to do with the hospitality of the people. Despite the onslaught of change facing them, Russians remain mme of the most wonderful people I have ever known. Once inside their homes, the people open up and show so much love and generosity that it is possible to forget the many frustrations and problems of livin there. Thesenseof humour that the have deve ?oped is one of the best in the wor r cl, because maybe as they say” it is the only thing we have. “ Back in Canada, I feel incredibly homesick for Russia, homesick because in many ways I fee1 more at home in a rundown Russian apart-

Our materia 7 ism has made us soft and complacent. And there is something about the West that leaves thoseRu.ssianswhovisitusfeelingterriblyhomesick for their native Iand. When1 tried to find out why, one friend attempted to explain that “everyone was really very nice, and they smiled a lot, but they just weren’t as emotional or passion- . ate.” Sasha, who had been in America for a few weeks, lust felt that something was missing. despite h ow nice the Americans were, “they just weren’t Russian.” But what is it that makes the people “Russian/I wonder? (I wonder, because I sometimes think that the greatest compliment would be to be considered “Russian,‘, as I feel uncomfortably like a soft and spoiled middle-class North American). I also seem to have found that the Russians who have been inCanada for a while have lost their “Russian” quality, they have become like us. Does that mean that if we lived in Russia for a while we would develop “Russian,, qualities? Do they develop from havin to survive in such an oppressive system? An f as the s tern changes are they going to lose their ’ “So UT“? If an oppressive system has hel ed to develop the Russian soul, in this land o P contrasts, it also had a reverse and ne ative effect on the street. The same wonderful it ussians that I meet in homes, would be almost impo&ble to meet on the street. The 70 years of repression have left them guarded and cold on the street. When informed that I was immediately recognizable as a foreigner by my smile, I unsucceSsfully attempted to repress it in an effort to fit in. It was impossible, and I realized I like smiling on the street to ple I don’t know. Is this superficial? Maybe, f? ut I feel repressed not smiling. I ask a friend if he thinks his children, the tildren of pm&r&z, will smile on the streets. With a Russian sense of wistfulness and optimism he smiles and says he hopes so. I hope so too. I also hope they keep their “Russian soul.”

Concordia by Wofrbd & Goossen special to lmpdnt Latin has always been Greek to me, so I didn’t know what the University’s motto meant until I heard it explained at the October 24 convocation. “A harmony of truth” is a close paraphrase of Dr. I-Iall’s - the keynote He is a theologian speaker’s - explanation. but should be more noted for his optimism. Thinking about some of the courses I took and the literacy test forced on me, I concluded that the writer of that motto, having unusual foresight, also had a sense of irony and humour. I found more dissonance thanharmonyin the “truths” ofhighereducation. Almost every theory in the social sciences was presented as a thing of the past or “currently being challenged.” Uncertainty seems to be the prevailing truth the University has to offer as briefly flickering candles in the darkness of human “knowledge” aresnuffed out by a continuous discovery of new and improved “truths.” Apart from the all too familiar Christian bashing in a few of the courses, the mandatory literacy test, and Philosophy 220 -- and Dr. Hall’s erudite observations about the harmony of truthversustriumphalCh.ristianity - my educational experience was not entirely unpleasant. At the graduation rmet a number of my fellow correspondence students and a few staff members, for the first time - none of whom seemed adversely affected by their involvement in education. They deserve full credit for their wisdom and strength of character. The literacy test is well entrenched by now, but the logic behind it will never be known because there isn’t any - unless one considers economics (government funding). In true bureaucratic fashion, the test is applied far and wide to all students who left high school within recent memory. I have published a couple of books, and overthreehundredarticles,columnsandshort stories in 28 periodicals, yet I had to prove my literacy. In 1976 I took an experimental test at McMasterUniversitywith74ostudents,w~~ was the forerunner of the literacy test. I scored in the top group with doctors and lawyers. The professors scored in the second group. Yet, I had to take the literacy test at UW. Amazingly, one doesn’t have to do so until halfway through a B.A. program. One is permitted to start out functionally illiterate. Since I went the correspondence route, I would thinks my marks would have indicated literal competence. But no! “That’s the way it’s done,” I was told by a staff member who had no control over the situation and was too honest to try to defend this indiscriminately used route to government funding. How many dollars (tax money) per person tested? Automation also reduces the necessity and time required to lnake decisions about each student. Mostcredibilitystretching,however,was Philosophy 220 in which the professor declared in his first lecture that religion is not scientific and therefore not valid basis for moral law. Philosophy and the teacher’s personal bias apparently are scientific. His repeated statement “I insist” in the absence of rational argument must have been highly scientificinhisview. Anintelligentreadingof Plato and Aristotle would vapourize such vacuous reasoning in less tie than it takes to lick a stamp. The specific advice given to young students with a church background to forget what they learned at home is an unethical intrusionintotheirlivesandnotnecessaryfor the learning process. It is the misuse of force of personality and the power of the social status of the university teacher, calcuIated to divest students of their own beliefs and right to think for themselves. It is to ask that they simply accept everything he says. What does the prtir insist is truth and scientifically verifiable (if that is indeed his standard)? To begin with, abortion to the day of

birth is totally moral and logical inhis scheme of things. There is no room for argument here whether a fetus is fully developed. It is only a question of whether a fully developed baby will be allowed to live or be murdered. One essay, by Joseph Fletcher of Situational Ethics notoriety (another enlightened former churchman) claims that a child has no personality until the third week after birth and therefore no human rights. With this scientific view and his towering intellect, he then defends the murder of the newborn babies until the third week of their birth. This is not an interpretation. It’s in the text book used in the course.
Suicide is not something most people do through logic. It is a cry for help, a moment of despair intime whichcanpassifnot acted on, if someone helps a person through instead of putting it in their mind that it is the only way out. And is this kind of thinking not also a path toward euthanasia, an encouragement for people to decide in hospitals whose life is worth living - a death sentence for the old and helpless, who provide so many jobs for young graduates in the health care field if we can bring ourselves to love them and let them make usmore humane, rather thanlabel them vegetables?

But what about young people, often far from borne, who may feel alienated or isolated on campus, who may fmd themselves lonely, in trouble with drugs or pregnancy or a sexual disease?

And the comforting thought is that this would mverhappen But I believe the University should be legally responsible for holding suicide out to young people as a viable option via this course.

I am fully aware there are people who would defend this at every point; but it can-. not be done with science or logic. It requires a type of faith, . I dropped that course after doing two thirds of it. When the professor declared the “God notion” a fake, I was fed up with his disrespect and likely the family of ministers he comes from are too. Upen-mindedness in this course was a one-way street. As for leaming to think independently - it was absolutely forbidden. The University will stand behind the course - as Western stood behind Rushton. Well, its over. And I’ve emerged unscathed* Iknowthatnoamountofsciencecan disprove the Christian faith, or any other, any more than it can prove it. 1do know the depth of anti-Christian prejudice on campus as pohtecl out by Dr. Charles Malik in a book called A Christ&m CritiqucoJlhe Unkmity. It is ironic that most universities were at one time c3rsa.n schools. The convocation was somewhat moving
and a good deal of fun. However, Dr. Hall’s declamation against triumphal Christianity and the false idea the church lays claim to all truth tempted me to walk out at the very beginning. The church has always embraced truth from various disciplines, when it was shown to be truth. Ihave a number of friends, fellow Christians, who teach in various universities without needing to declaim against the church. Dr, Hall had some positive things to say about the church and the harmonizing of truths, but his claim Christ didn’t tell anyone to write anything down (the Bible of course) is the poorest of theological arguments and ignores the fact that Jepus said “All scripture is inspired by God.” And scripture also states that men of old, prophets, spoke by the Holy spirit. The scriptures speak of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It says that God in Christ is the creator of all things created. The people who wrote scripture were moved by His Spirit and, yes, He did tell them to write it down, after His resurrection, by the Spirit. John, on the Isle of Patmos, makes this quite clear. One cannot prove these things scientifically either. But one cannot disprove them. They are ma*rs of faith. Any person, any student, can study the scriptures prayerfully asking God to teach them without the interference of man made theologies. Nodoubtmosttheologiansconsidertheir work valid and authoritative. If that is the case, the scriptures can lay the same claim even on the human level. This debate is severa1 thousand years old. It will never be settled until the culmination of history. At that point, when Christ returns, as is prophesied, andasHeHimselfsaidHewould,thechurch, Christ Himself, will be triumphant. I-Ie will rule. One can deny it, theologians can argue about it. But they cannot disprove it. Fortunately you don’t need to consult theologians to learn the truth about humanity’s relationship with God. Everyone can ask Him to be their teacher and He will honour that request, sincerely made, in His way and time. when I went up to the front and knelt reluctantly in front of the chancellor - whose warmhands and warm congratulations I appreciated - I said to her, ‘To Christ be the glory, who said, ‘All scripture is inspired by God. . l ’ That is truth too.” It is a truth which universities today cannot absorb or harmonize with their own denying gospels, which will last a generation or two and be replaced by new ones, while scripture stands triumphant. * Voltaire once said that all Bibles would be eliminated from the earth in his life time. In the 19th century, his house was used by a Bible society as a scripture distribution canter. God has a sense of humour too, and always the last word. Scripture has outlived Voltaire, and will outlive his writings. I will remember my studies at LAN with some fondness and an appreciation for the entertainment value of higher education. But for truth, I will turn to God and His word, where Concordia Cum Veritate is not just a meaningless motto.

The Warrior hockey team continued to take advantage of a weak early-season schedule last weekend as they extended their record to400 with easy home victories over Laurentian and Royal Military College. Waterloo pounded the Voyageurs 11-3 on Saturday at Columbia Icefield and did much the same to Redmen on Sunday, 15-4. In Waterloo’s four games this season, they have scored 43 goals and allowed only nine. Their quick start out of the gate, combined with preseason domination of other OUAA West teams, has given the Warriors a third-place ranking in the CIAU’s top ten. “When starting the season against teams like these [that did not finish last season as highly as Waterloo], you’re expected to win,” said head coach Don McKee, now enteringhisseventhyearatthehelm of the Warriors. “And when the games are at home, you’re expected to win big. The players obviously responded well to that pressure.” “It’s a compliment to be ranked that highly in the nation,” he wenf on to say. “But the goal is to be in the top four at the end of the season and to go to the Nationals.” The team put up its unblemished record against another 40-O team last night at Varsity Arena in Toronto. The Blues are in first place in the OUAA East and fifth-ranked nationally. “This game is critical to them [the Blues], being a home game,” McKee said. “UQTR dropped a point to Windsor and two points to

The lead expanded to 10-l with some lightning quick reactions by Strauss at the net on Windsor attacks. The Plague seemed to be stuck at 10 points for a while, but after a brief scare, finished off the visitors in the opening set, 15-9. Game two started much the same way with the Warriors leaping out of the starting gate 6-l and forcing Windsor to take a timeout once again to try and slow the momentum. Despite some monster smashes by Holt down the line and
psychotic digging by Tenthorey and Smith, the Lancers clawed back to even the score at 9-9 on Waterloo’s unforced errors. However, sparked TbythebackcourtattackofTenthorey which often sent the 800-plus fans into a frevy, the Plague pushed ahead to win 15-13. Insulted by Windsor’s fable threat in game two, the Plague dorninated game three 15-3. If it weren’t for a few mental errors, the Warriors would have skunked the team from the rovincial border. Tent K orey started the annihilation with a rare drive from midcourt into open Lancer territory. Sensing the steamrolling victory, Shantz substituted Denison back into the match along with so homore power hitter Roger ScLm p and rookie middle player Richard Koomans. Holt amassed eight straight serves for points (including the three aces) as the Plague bulldozed to take the clinching set. 4s mentioned before, Waterloo’s next match will be this Friday, November 6 against the Laurier Golden Hawks at 8 p.m. at WLU.

Shaky start to Athena volleyball season by Fmnk Imprint
Seglenleks sports
IA Wednesday’s season opener of OWIAA women’s volleyball, the Athenas came out flat and lost a close match to the Windsor Laneen. In the thrilling five-game battle, Waterloo was slimly defeated 10-15, 15-7, 15-9, 4-15, and 15-12.
The Athenas play tonight at Laurier Although at times our team played like the veterans they are, for much of the match they failed to work together as a unit and allowed the Lancers the opportunities to gain momentum and eventually the contest. In experience, the team is led by middle hitters Michelle Vanvliet and Carren Hall, both appearing in
their their Sue and
fourth year. Players going into third season are power hitters Bylsma and Nicky Campbell setter Chris Harrison. The other setting position alternates between second-year players Linda Ezergailis and Karen Schmidt. Both Ezergailis and Schmidt had the unenviable position of filling in for injured setter Katrina Englebrecht half-way through last season. Unfortunately, the nature of Englebrecht’s ankle injury doesn’t allow her to come back for this season. In exhibition action so far, the Athenas came back from a disappointing finish in a tournament at McMaster to win the consolation final in tournaments at both Brock and Queen’s. In both of these competitions, the team was narrowly edged out in their first matches to be relegated to the consolation rounds. So, with this experience behind them, the team was set to start the regular season. The first game of Wednesday’s encounter was a tight match with both teams feeling each other out in preparationforthelongbattlewhich

The momenturn of the game finally got going Waterloo’s way allowing them to take a 12-6 lead; unfortunately, Windsor took advantage of some mkues of the Athena side and closed the gap to 12-10. However, Sue Bylsma then put on a serving display, getting three straight points, the last two coming on unreturned serves, endingwi& an ace. Unfortunately, the winning ways came to a halt in the next two games. The second game had Waterloo playing like they were unw sure of how to set up the defence and the offense, letting Windsor amas point after point until it was 144. It then took the Lancers four game services to do it, but eventually they took the game 15-7.

The fourth game of the match had the Athenas playing like they will need to in the upcoming season. More consistent play allowed them to set up the defence with some nice blocks, including the game winner by Carren Hall, and the offence was able to put down a few nice hits.

This was the first ever meet of its kind and Waterloo had high expectations. The meet was divided into two sections: a biathlon (800-metre swim, five-kilometre run) and an 800-m run withvarious swimming events. First up was the biathlon. Waterloo swimmers Amy Jarvis, AndrewCartwright,MattMctavish, and Brian Roughley competed in the longer event. All came out of the water in great shape and ran out into the chilling air. At the end of

It is still much like the Al and Sean show, but this year’s Waterloo Warrior basketball team wilI sport some new faces as it heads into action tomorrow night (Saturday, November 7,8:00 p.m.) at the PAC against the St. Mary’s Huskies and next weekend at the 25th Naismith Tournament, a familiar fixture of Homecoming Weekend here at UW (see next week’s Imprint for a preview of Naismith). The 1992-93 version of the Warriors saw action last weekend at Concordia University, where they lost to the Western Mustangs 9079inthefinalafterbeatingtheQueen’sGolden Gaels 78-66 in the first round. As was the case most of last season, shooting guard Alex Urosevic and swing forward Sean VanKoughnett finished onetwo in team scoring in both games. Urosevic scored 21 and 24 points respectively, VanKoughnett 14 and 18. VanKoughnett also totalled 15 rebounds in the two games. Freshman B. J.

If this is any omen of the coming season, Waterloo should easily have the most potent treyland assault in the competitive OUAA West division. Fourth-year 6’6” forward Chris Moore and sophomore 6’9” centre Mark Hopkins rounded out the starting five for Waterloo. Moore had 19 points and six rebounds in the tournament, Hopkins 14 points and two rebounds. The Waterloo bench saw more action in the first round against the Gaels, led by a pair of third-year players. 6%” bentre Bruce VanLoon came off the bench to rip down nine boards,while6’6”forwardDaveLynchscored nine points, powered by 5of-6 free-throw shooting. Other veteran talent returning this year includes centre Mike Leitch, forward Tom Balfe, and guard Cahan Richardson, all in second-year.
Andy Pocmic, a freshman from London Catholic Central, rounds out the squad in the backcourt. The most visible change will be wearing the head coach’s sweater, however, as Tom Kieswetter steps into the sizeable shoes of Don McCrae, who retired from coaching at the end of last season, ending a brilliant 23year career. McCrae remains with UW athletics as the men’s interuniversity coordinator.

Nadia
Gosgnach,
Cast weekend, the Athena basketball success at the Brock University Invitational, splitting their two games to leave their exhibition record at 5-2. They beat Guelph 45-40, but lost to the host Badgers 67-40. Brenda Kraemer, top rebounder in the second game with 10, was named to the tournament all-star team. The weekend before, the Athenas won the Laurier Invitational Tournam ent, defeating Queen’s and Laurier. Tomorrow (Saturday, November 7), the Athenas host Ryerson in an exhibition game. Tip-off is 6:oO p.m. at the PAC. The game against Guelph opened slowly with the Gryphons edging to a seven-point gap at the half. With more intensity, the Athenas rallied from this deficit. Pulling ahead, the team turned their game up a notch and attacked the Gryphons aggressively. Sue Kruis contributed 13 rebounds to the team’s stats, while the whole team played a strong offensive game. Successfully stq3ping Guelph’s penetration, the Athenas added another win to their record with a final score of 45-40. Against Brock the Athenas played with great force defensively, but were unable to finish on offence. The team struggled to establish a rhythm and consistency in their game. In the opening game against Queen’s two weekends ago, the Athenas dealt well with the pressure defense from Queen’s and forced them into early foul trouble. The team shot 40 per cent from the field and dominated the defensive boards with 17 rebounds. In one of her best showings yet, Brenda Kraemer was outstanding in every l team had mixed
aspect of her game. Shooting 92 per cent from the free throw line and 67 per cent from the field, Kraemer led the Athenas with 27pohts. Complemented by great defense, Waterloo came out on top with a triumphant victory over Queens by a score of 6662. In game two of the tourney, Waterloo matched up against our home-town rivals the Laurier Golden Hawks. Despite a sluggish first half, veteran Kathy Wordham kept the Athenas in the game with aa impressive array of three-point shooting. With a game total of 19 points, 15 of which were from treyland, Wordham held the Golden Hawks at bay for the majority of the game.

Placing fourth after league play, the Athena field hockey team travelled to Lamport Stadium in Toronto to compete in the OWIAA finals last weekend. After a first-round win over Queen’s, Waterloo lost their next two matches to finish fourth overall and end up ranked tenth nationally. Jennifer Murray and Lea Dietrich were named to the 3WIA.A all-star second team. Waterloo was determined to win their first game against Queen’s so that they could finish in the top four provincially, regardless of the outcome of the tournament. A goal midway through the first half put Queen’s into the lead, but Waterloo just foughtback twice as hard, determined to score. A deliberate foul in the scoring circle by a Queen’s defensive player resulted in Waterloo being awarded a penalty stroke. Captain Lea Dietrich rifled the ball past the Queen’s goalie, making the score an even l-l. Despite a valiant effort, the Athenas were unable to score again, forcing overtime. The first 15 minutes of overtime were highlighted by a goal from rookie centre Rachelle Brohman. Waterloo stayed firmly in control of the game, until a Queen’s goal was scored with less than two minutes to play, tying the game yet again. b
Thismeantthegame,afterlOOminutes of playing time, was to be decided by penalty strokes (sin+ lar in theory to soccer’s penalty kicks). Dietrich, Liida Mowat, Lisa Howell, and Kathy ReilIy made good their goal attempts, while goalie Jen Murray stopped three 01 the five Queen’s shots. Waterloc claimed the win, with a final scort of 6-4. Saturday pitted the Athena5 against the eventual OWIAA champs, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues. Waterloo played well and it was a game they could be proud of, despite the disappointing 3-O score in favour of Toronto, This meant that Waterloo would compete against the University of GuelphGryphons for the bronze medal. Obje&ively speaking, it was the Athenas’ best game all season. Working together, Waterloo made drive after drive at the Guelph goal and consistently re fused the Gryphons their circle, Waterloo clearly dominated the play, but was, again, unable tc score. Again, neither regulation nor overtime could find a winner and the game went to penalty strokes This time, the results did not gc Waterloo’s way. Guelph won 2-1, The team greatly appreciated the efforts of graduating goalif Jennifer Murray. Her fire and en thusiasm was contagious. Eigh shut-outs in a season speak fol themselves.

Despite getting off to a slow start, the fall mixed volleyball tournament held on Halloween Day went off without a hitch. The tenteam tourney championship was captured by the impressive Baldric Squad who dominated a tough Ahszies team in two straight games. ‘The consolation winners were the House of Pain. They defeated the consistant Safe Sets in a close 2-O match. A good time was had by all, Thanks to the excellent and dedicated referees and especially to all those who participated. We hope to see you at the next tournament.
Report

by Rick Kush Project Co-ordinator The concept of integration of persons with disabilities has taken a giant step in the right direction. During the course of the term, the accessibility committee has met to look at different possibilities that we may pursue here at UW. It was decided that we should plan a social in hopes of getting as many people as possible out to such an event. The event was originally planned for the Village 1 Great Hall, but was changed to Gym 3 in the PAC. The change was essential as our main objective is “integration into Recreation Campus Programsm,” as well as attracting more students to an informal setting. The result was amazing. Attendance was around 35 people, which included three talented wheelchair basketball players from the K-W Spinners Team, as well as approximately 16 students with various disabilities. Other people who attended were campus recreation coordinator Sally Kemp, coordinator for students with disabilities Florence Thomlison, a number of Accessibility Committee members, and other interested people. The evening’s agenda was unstructured, in hopes of allowing the students to generate ideas about what they wanted to do. The Spinners gave a brief talk on what they do as a local organization, then proceeded to wheel circles around a very trying, but untalentedandinexperiencedteam. Refreshments were served and
were followed by many people talking about their interests and other relavent or irrelavent topics. A number of participants visited the weight room to give some recommendations to help make some progress in our need assessment project. This is under the coordination of Guido Romagnoli, a 3B Kinesiology Student. To end the evening, a wheelchair rugby game was tried and produced many laughs, a-ashes, and defensive and offensive skills. This game was very successful and hope are that it may develop further with continued interest. All in all, it was a great evening which included running and hour longer than expected. I would like to extend thanks to the Federation of Students for donating some very appreciated prizes and to the students, volunteers and others who helped organize and participate in a successful and fun evening. The next accessibility meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 17 at 4:30 p.m. in PAC 2045. For more information, call Rick Ktish at x 3533.

The piercing shrieks and wails were testimony that puberty was in the house.

“quassi a Capella,” are band intent on invisible walls that artist from the audithe question “Why
then perform at Humanities Theatre, a venue intent on supplying bricks and mortar?“, Friivous utilized their spideysense and by the third song dismissed any and all sentiment of scepticism. By intermission, the prevailing atmosphere held the notion that we all knew each other by first names. Moxy, tipped last year as Canada’s “Next Big Thing,” have been very busy forging a straight path in living up to this accolade. No strangers to the Humanities, you may remember only months ago, Friivous opening for Holly Cole. Last Thursday, gauging not only by crowd reaction, but by the frenzied line-ups at the merchandise booth, Moxy Friivous are no longer the “Next Big Thing,” they are the “Big Thing.” Theatrics, an intrinsic part of the show, was certainly beefed up on the popular tunes “Green Eggs and Ham“ and The King of Spain.” Employing antics reminiscent of a Kids in the Hall episode, the band not only held the crowd in their hands,buttheycouldhavecrushed them like the seething little maggots tit they are. Alas, in certain appropriate cases, this was not to be.

What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been Rollercoaster Hallowe’en: The Jesus and Mary Chain w/ Curve, Spiritualized and Pure OctobeY 3zst Skybowl
,
by Sandy Atwal lmgrint stufl The common perception that “Stadium shows suck” was overturned, in my mind at least, last Saturday at the mother of all stadiums Skybowl. Having grown too old to trickor-treat last year (I still go around the next day and ask for leftovers), I headed to Toronto to catchtheHallowe’enRollercoaster show.Four bands, one night and a lot of good music, I hoped. The only major disappointment of the night was that the inside of the Skydome was not, as had been rumoured, dressed up like the inside of a Pumpkin. A wild and wacky rumour I suppose, but I was hoping for something to spruce up the interior. You’re never quite aware of how big (half) the Skydome is until you realize that there are 5000 people there and it looks like the Bombshelter when Mike Something’s playing. The place was nowhere near sold-out (even though tix were only 10.50) which is reaUy too bad for those who didn‘t attend. Pure, from Vancouver, sounded in&ibly leaden throughout theif set. A cone of noise *e&d all the music in a straight line, and sucking the energy from the band. I don’t know what it is, but I can probably count on onehandhowmanyCanadianbandsIlike,so when one is even half decent this blows me away. This was the case with Pure whose brand of Pearl Jamxny/RHCP funkmakesme at least look forward to their appearance at the Bombshelter. Next up were Spiritualized, the phoenix from Spaceman 3’s ashes. I don’t think I saw them. Well, I mean I saw them, but I couldn’t actually see their faces or bodies very much. Rather than the inside of a pumpkin, the band’s seemed intent on using their dry ice to make the Skybowl look like the inside of a cigarette. Spiritualized% last song was one of the high points of the concert, they had all of the elements of their show fall together perfectly into a visual and aural cacophony of solid heat. Strobe lights cut through the thick
smoke while a kaleidoscopic rainbow decorated the screen behind them. Meanwhile they wailed away at theti axes grinding feedback out of their amps that would’ve burned a whole through the roof of any other venue. The order of the bands was well planned. To offset the bleeding ear syndrome brought about by Spiritualized’s last offering, Curve took the stage to let us recoup somewhat

before the Jesus and Mary Chain took the stage. Toni Halliday arrived looking as sex kitteny as always and showered the crowd with offerings from IX&legatiger, the band’s widely acclaimed debut. HalIiday’s vocals add a unique element to Dean Garcia’s musical arrangements, helping the band overcome and labels. Closingwiththeirsingle “FaitAccompli”, the band left the crowd waiting for more, and easily established themselves as far more than just an opening act.

Nevermind that he was an insanely violent misanthrope, to the crowd, this was undoubtedly a hero, and at tie very least, cool. I don’t mean to sit on a moral perch, but you know thatnoneoftheseyobsintheirJAMCuniform knew what point Kubrick was driving at. Scary stuff, kids. However, if there was any trepidation I might have had about being here because I was in a room full ofAryan posterchildren,

Gays on Parade Erasure O’W cetlhe October 22-24 by Cheryl

How popular is Erasure? At a concert held at the O’Keefe centre last Friday, every drag queen and his mother was there. One drag qum actually trrought his mother. I

they were easiIy waylaid by the Chain. Sampling heavily from their entire career, incIudi.ng singles and more popular tracks, they presented the crowd with a solid overview without leaving out the golden nuggets not found on their albums. The b&d was characteristically silent as far as crowd banter and characteristically LOUD in terms of their guitar sound. WhiIe Jim kept himself shrouded in smoke and erratically threw the mic stand around, William kept the air fresh with his aural sculptures. The crowd was responsive to all of their songs, but really came alive to “Head On”. After that, “Sidewalking”, and selectionsfromHoney’sDeadincluding”Far Cone and out” rewed the crowd even higher. Moshing was obviously widespread, but has long since lost it’s novelty, and is now much like applause. By the time the band’s final songt and second song of their encore, “Reverence” appeared, the audience was just about ready to explode. In fact they did! Well, no it would’ve been- nice if the guy who kicked me in the head while bodysurfing had suffered the eruption of his spleen, but no such prayer was answered. “Reverence” turned out to be the best song of the night, but for more than just the obvious reasons. First of ail, it was only the Jesus Christ line that was sung, JFK strangely being left out, but it was that kind of night. I’m s&ng too many shows nowadays. Two months ago, I would’ve been blown away by this show, but today, while I enjoyed it, there was tm much music. I don’t go to concerts just to see the band and hear differ,ent versions of songs. Their performances should say something about the band that you can’t get out of their albums. Although presenting the audience with an interesting visual performance, their actual stage presence was lacking. Fortunately, their music can, and does make up for my shortcomings that might have occurred. -
peared in a mobile enclosure resembling a tank that contained his synthesizers. Along with the songs from their newest albums chortrs and Abbuhpe, Erasure performed such old favourites as “Blue Savannab”, “Star” and “Chains of Love”. The definite highlight of the show had to be the four song set of Abba covers, “Lay AlI Your Love On Me’: “Voulez Vous”, “T.ake A Chance 011 Me” and “S.O.S.“. Along with their two wpmen back-up singers, Erasure did a convincing impersonation of the Swedish pop group, In what he called the Grand Ole Qpry, Bell, in his high, girlish voice, dedicated his own unique version of “Tammy Why-Nof’s” “Stand Bv Your Man” to “eveiyone whose boyfriends just can’t sit still.” He also mentioned that his ideal world is one which is “free of prejudice and bashomophobic tards.” Odd that he should choose to mention this during a set fashioned after one of the world’s last bastions of the Redneck,. In all, it was a great show. Love them or hate them, Erasure can always be counted upon to provide a solid evening’s entertainmerit.

Mob
What, pray tell, would drag a still recovering Halloween (over-)celebrant down to Toronto on a rainy Monday night? Why, the intriguing bill presented at U of T, of ccwse. The opportunity to see the Beastie Boys and Rollins Band on one bill was far too much to resist. And with Ice Cube posse members Da _ Lench Mob also on hand, hopes were high that this show would live up to alI expectatiOnS*
Unfortunately, the advertised starting time of 8 o’clock was enforced, so many concm-t-goers (including yours truly) missed Da Lench Mob. Their last “Yo” was still echoing around the arena as many people continued entering. From the looks of things they had performed with the house lights on; and not many of their “Guerillas in tha’ Mist” shirts had been purchased. Maybe next time Da Lench Mob will receive a better reception, and if Ice Cube comes along that would be a guarantee. But, let’s not dither over the opening band,forthecrowdwasoutinforceforthecoheadliners. while it is true that the Beastie Boys were in fact the actual feature of the evehng, Henry Rollins has developed an aura about him that attracts both his diehard fans and the curious alike.

And for all those here who aided me through a difficult toque decision, be assured that the orange neon safety toque would not have been out of place. The crowded pit was hopping madly to the trash songs, but when “Finger Lickin’ Good” was played the crowd got even more into it. Also included in this true rap segment of the show were “Rhyming and Stealing” off theirmajorlabeldetrutLicencetontand”Skake your Rump” and “Egg Man” from 1989’s Paul’s Boutique. ItwasatthispointthattheBeastiesveered from he (rap) music that had attracted the crowd and launched into more thrash songs. Both “Gratitude” and the Sly Stone penned -“Time for Livin”’ were delivered with some blaring feedback. While most in attendance expected somelivemusic bits, and seeing that thrash is attracting more listeners, it probably shouldn’t have been surprising for the Ekasties to display their hardcore roots. But for over half the show? And who knows what kind of narcotics were involved when DJ Hurricane (aka Cheeba Man) came down from behind his turntable and belted out a song at around 150 beats a minute? The crowd. remained excited throughout, but undoubtedly there was some disappointment at the evening’s song selection. It would have been cheesy if the Beisties had just performed hit after hit or single after single, but some of their past songs m definitely missed. On that note though, be assured that the Beastiesperformedanenergeticandenthrallhg show. As it’s been stated “variety Ls the spice of life”, and the Beastles certainly d&verai to that end.

Andsoitwasatthesugarpress conference the day of the show. Questions about Hiisker Dii, questions about Nirvana, questions about why Hiisker IXi broke up, questions about how Nirvana has changed the music industry, questions about Hiisker Dii and Sugar, Nirvana and Sugar, Hiisker Dii and Nirvana, and questions directed at BobMould,questionsforBob,questions at Bob, questions about Bob. All of this was conducted very rudely in front of David Barbe and Malcolm Travis, who also happen to be in the band and were in the room, although this seemed to be of no import to most of the people in the small cramped dressing room of the Spectrum. “We don’t have anything to do with Husker Dii.” stated David Barbe, flatly. “Oddly enough, I don’t have anything to do with Hi.isker DL” added Mould. There was no doubt that the members of this band, all of them, wanted no connection made to MouId’s earlier outfit, and rightly so. Sugar may have a common vocalist, but there’s too much difference for Htisker Dii questions to be floating around. AsBarbeputit,“Ithinkthatthe comparisons to Risker Dii or the comparisons to the albums that Bob made with Tony and Anton (Black Sheets of Rain and Workbwk), I just
feel like it’s a cop-out. It’s sort of an easy comparison because Bob was in both bands, but if you listen to Cupper Blue and you listen to Metal Circus or Black Sheets of Raipz, or Workbook, or any of them back-toback, it’s really quite different - not only the way we play, but the songs

themselves. I don’t want to speak for Bob, but I don’t think that you ,would want to be known as the same player today as you were six years ago.” “No.” Bob responds. “It would make me feel like I haven’t been doing much lately. I mean, there’s trademarks that I have that I’m going to carry with me forever. The same ones that are on Frip Your Wig are on Workbook, it’s just there’s a whole different delivery. So now, people hear something like “Fortune Teller’, and go ‘Oh, sounds like Hiisker Dii’. Well, shit, I was in that band and I’m in this band, I turn my guitar up to a certain volume, and I sing with a certain amount of force, so it’s probably going to sound like me. I mean I think David’s got a point.” As for the Nii-vana question, the ultimate in musical stupidity was reached when someone asked if Nirvana had opened up the dobr for bands like Sugar. Fortunately, Bob Mould handled the question deftly. “I think Nirvana opened the door for Nirvana. Every radio station in the world played the record for a year, now they don’t have to play another punk record for 10 years. It’s not like Garth Brooks who’s opening doors for country artists.” More than anything, Sugar
seems tohaveraisedthequestionof renewed interest in older bands. Many groups who have been around for a long time are finally gettingtherecognitiontheydeserve, and hopefully there wilbe renewed interestinMercylandandtheZulus due to the Sugar album. Similar sentiments were echoed by Mould. “I hope that people who go out and buy the new Sonic Youth also &Q out and buy Bad Moorr Rising, and people who go out and buy the new Soul Asylum wiIl also check out Me to be Brokers.” (A few people in the room tittered at the last comment since it was Mould himself who produced the aforementioned Soul Asylum record.} Sugar have already completed their second album, Titled Beaster, it’s due in March or April. M&y of the songs were written at the same time as the Copper Blue material. Because of the timing of the album releases, the band will have very little time between tours. The current tour ends February lath, and the new one startsin April, allowing about six months of free time. All members of the band have side projects as well as being in Sugar. David Barbe is currently in Bus Hungry, and Malcolm Travis is in Concussion Ensemble. Bob Mouldhimselfrunsalabelthatputs out singles only, aptly called the Singles Only Label, for which he is the self-proffessed ‘*A&R guy”. me of the singles put out last year included “alternative” faves Yo La Tengo. “S.O.L., Singles Only Label. I’m involved in tlxit with a couple of other people. Nicholas Hill, a couple of people from New York who help run the thing from day-today especially when I’m on the road. The last thing I’ve heard that came out was the Continental Drifters thing. It’s cool. Most of the people areourfriends,it’saprettyincestous label-” (then he adds as an afterthought,) “- like most record companies.” Although a major release, Copper Blue was released on relatively small record labe& - Creation in Britain and Rykodisc here in North America. Interestingly enough,both deals are wit+t Bob Mould, not with Sugar since the deals were signed before the band was actually formed. “All the deals are with,me. The dealscametozetherbeforewemade the band. Bgb Mould’s the legal contra&e, so if something stuDid happens, i guess I get to d;al &th it.“AlIofthisisfinewithTravisand Barbe. As David puts it “We’re off the hook. It doesn’t bother me, I’m no>t getting the short end of anything as a result of not having my name on the contract. We’re certainly reaping the benefits, we just don’t have to deal with the hassles of being the managers of the band.” Mould definitely didn’t want the worldwide distribution of large labels, but didn’t want to go back to his early partner SST. “I cut my teeth on that stuff. Why would I go back to something I left? I think that people will realize SST’s long term impact in band’s like Black Flag, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, Minute Men and the Hiiskers.’ Moretoprovokeareactionthan anything, the interview closed with one of the more honest questions. Referring to an NME piece, one pundit asked ‘One wonders if Bob hasproblemsbuyingaloafofbread, or opening a can of beans, thinking
that the can of beans might hate him.” Bob’s astute repsonse? ‘Those were the 1989 Danny Kelly ‘overwrought with emotion’ pieces. I just talked to Danny recently. Danny’s got a funnyperception of me. He likes to paint me as the tortured artist, which of course I’m not going to discourage. “WodduwkdBlackSlreetswere a pretty personal purge. There were a lot of things. I had to work out. Those were the first two real sober records I’d ever made so there was a lot of stuff I had to think about for the first time in 11 years. It’s a little less personal, it’s a little less ‘Oh, look what happened to me’. There’s anecdotes,andmomentsof humour on this record that I thinkhave been missing. Don’tgetmewrorQdon’t think there’s anything humorous about a song like “The Slim”. I think that’s probably the most dire song I’ve ever written, it’s the hardest subjectmatterI%eeverhadtotackle. Trying to write a song about theeretically losing your lover to AIDS
is nothing to laugh about, but it’s nice to have something Iike “Hoever Dam” to offset it.” The conference ended shotiy thereafter. With only an hour before the doors opened, Sugar still had to perform their soundcheck. As the press conference broke up and several eager autograph seekers approached Bob, one of them asked one question that’s no doubt ‘been on many a Hiisker fan’s mind. “Question, what’s Greg up to these days?” “Cookin’ in a restaurant. Saw him just the other week.’ For all intents and purposes, I took this as the truth, since the Hiisker bassist was often considered a friend rather than an integral part of the band. Perhaps Mould was being sarcastic, but this would bealotmorecruelthanheappeared throughout the rest of the interview. It seems as though only some of them are going to make it after all.

“If it ain? Stiff it ain’t worth
a
fuck!” It was 1975, and K-Tel dominated the music industry--well, almost. ‘The music at the time was just about as original as it was interesting. If it wasn’t icon rock it was something you could rollerskate to at the Terrace. Don’t get me wrong, while that music has its place (in the sewer, mybe? -ed), it was nothing special. The superstars of the time were distant and lofty and, in being so, impossible to relate to. The music industry was thirty-five pounds overweight, short of breath and impotentas dynamic as iHomer Simpson. Then it happened. Out from the seedy bars they came. No glitz and no flash, just solid, unkempt pub rockers. Never appearing to be filly recovered form the previous night’s exploits and consumption, with shaggy hair and enough stubble to sand down your grandmother’s dresser. StiffRecordswasthebrainchild of Take Riviera, former manager of
Chilli Willi & The Red Hot Peppers (sound familiar kids?) and exHendrix roadie Dave Robinson. By pooling their resources and getting a small loan from a friend, the lads set up their own studio and Ta Da - Stiff Records. Now how does this relate to you, the reader? Well, now available for the first time to the general public are four discs which are a
smattering of various hits by the artists that Stiff put on their feet. Some fairly obscure, others not so obscure. Artists such as Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Jonah Lewie, Madness,Elviscostello,thePogues, DevoandKirstyMacColl. Wellover fifty artists are represented by almost one hundred tracks. The beauty of the Stiff label was its versatility. This becomes This needn’t be a curse, but a scene whose primary and most obvious references are Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath et al are hardly worthy of any title of “alternative”. In the Trees case, SW& Obliuion is the follow-up to Uncle Anesthesia, their major-league debut of last year. It doesn’t reek of Niiana,Soundgardenor Pearl Jam, but a recycled seventies ethos still persists-forargumentssake,Ithink they sound like Robbie Robertson singing with Crazy Horse. This in itself needn’t take away from the band or their album. Indeed, their live performances are exceptionally exciting and Sweet Oblivim features some remarkably crunchy melodies. It just doesn’t sound as fresh as the publicity would have you believe. Oblivion’s lead single is the catchy “Nearly Lost You” which was most recently featured, appropriately enough in the movie SingZcs, (a glorified MelrosePlace piece set in Seattle). That movie, written by former Stone hack Cameron Crowe, confirms everymg I feel about this album: it fits very tidily into the Jann Wenner world-view and b an but alternative. According T-7 y, it’ probably sell by the truckload. DriveLikeJehu,alas,willprobably be elated if they can sell so much as a midget’s handful. But don’t let sales dividends fool you. If you like tight, furious, in-your-face, full volume ass-kicking rock - the kind defined by the likes of the Huskers or the Sonics in the eighties and the Poster Children or Superchunk so far in the nineties ther you’ll probably dig Drive Like Jehu. If, however, your preference is, say, the Tragically Hip, it’d be safe to say that the Screaming Trees Sweet Oblivhm is a no-less solid investment. You could do a hell of a lot worse, but please don’t call it alternative.

WhenIbecameawarethatPublit Enemy was releasing an album named Greatest Misses, I assumed thatitwouldbeagreatesthitscompilation such as the Red Hot Chili peppers’ recently-released tit Hits?!. In fact, Greatest Misses contains six new songs along with different versions/mixes of seven previously released songs. A welcome surprise on the album consists of the return of the Bomb Squad - the revolutionary group of producers who werenotably absent, and missed, from PE’s previous album Apca&we ‘92: Tht! Enemy Strikes Hack. Many fans feel that the combination of Chuck R’s and Flavor Flav’s vocals/lyrics along with the Bomb Squad’s produo$;madePEthebestrapgroup ThH Bomb Squad’s unique brandofbackupnoise(sirens,noise and whistles over a heavy, moving bass line) was a huge part of PE’s music, and has been imitated on many songs, most recently on the House of Pain’s “Jump Around.” Itshouldbenotedthatthebest track on Greatest Misses, the driving “Hazy Shade of Criminai,” is not a BombSquad-producedsong. However, be assured that the sound is originally theirs. Both “Gett off My Back” and “Gotta Do WhatI Cotta Do” are produced and co-written by the Bomb Squad and as such are highlightsamongsttheweaktracks that make up this album.
my review. This box set contains almost one hundred tracks. The variety of artists and styles in the collection is extensive. One cannot even hope to describe the individual attributes of the contents. Every track has its own merits; if it didn’t it wouldn’t be included in the collection. ThemostthatIcansayisthat it’sgr~ttoheartrackssuchas”Sign OfTheTiies”,“JockoHomo”,“Sex &Drugs & Rock &Roll”, “One Step Beyond “, “Emotional Traffic” and “New Rose”. Some of these you will instantly recognize and say something like “I haven’t heard thk for ages” or “I didn’t know they did thiS”. Other songs will be completelynew toyouandwillgrowon youlikethemildewinyourshoddy student shower. Thequalityoftherecordingsis extremely good. It might have something to do with the fact that all Stiff products were “ElectricaIIy RecordedYn”8MmwE~~S~0~. Forsomeofthesetracks,thisboxset is the first time they have been released on disc. For other tracks such iis Elvis Costello’s “I just don’t know what to do with mysep this is the first time they have ever been released. Mostboxsetsarenothingmore thanacoilectianofgreatesthitsand not so greatest hits. You get everything the artist ever put out, the good the bad and a lot of the ugly. The Stiff box is pot like that. It contains good stuff. The lack of the typical PE sensory overload is very apparent on the album’s remixes. The original versions of these songs are superior to the new mixes simply because theoriginalshadthatfullPE/Bomb Squad sound! The sound that made PE the biggest and best rap group around. The sound that drove you toyourfeetandmadeyoufeelalive! The sound that sucked you in and spat you out and had you craving more, more!! While the concept of redoing songs can provide some ilIuminating moments, these new versions pale in comparison with the originals.Theremixers(whoinclude Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC and Ice Cube’s DJ Sir Jinx) have been handed the daunting task of updatingorchangingsongsthatwerejust fine in the first place. Their mission was doomed from the beginning, and as such they have failed, Few if any of the original versions of the remixed songs would make a proper PE hits album. Perhaps PE’s idea was to redo the “B list” songs, while keeping the top songs on their original form for future release. While it is commendable, and understandable, that a group’s sound will change over the years, most PE fans will gladly stick with It Tab a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear of a Black Planet, their finest workes to date. Ultimately Greatest Misses misses, and should be treated as “product”, just something to fill the store racks in anticipation of the Christmas (buying) season Thenew songs as a group are lacking, and theremixescancertainlybeignored. The motto on the album cover states “There is no future without a past.” PE should keep this in mind when recording Peace, their album due next year.

With little structure, rhythm or melody, industrial music can be a difficult genre to evaluate. Of course, industrial music is meant to be difficult and challenging; it’s just very difficult to separate the good from the bad. Inevitably, you fall back to intuition and emotional response as the prime benchmark of musical integrity. Figure X-72 is a six song vinyl release by a group of Chicago musicians loosely connected to Ministry. It was recorded live with no overdubs, and features the vocals of Pigface’s Matthew Schultz. And while most of album keeps my attention, I can’t help but wonder if I should be viewing this live. The first track, “Follow You Home,” features Schultz’s distorted vocals almost lost in a wall of tape loops and assorted noises. Like most of the album there’s a real difficulty just figuring out what’s being done to create the layers of sound. In “Figure P-27’, I recognize a guitar playing with lots of feedback, but that’s about all. Once again, actually being there would answer some of these questions. “Image Before Jealousy” again features Schultz’s voice repeating “my voice, my vision” before rambling through a list of hersonalpsychosesthat&nds IikeearlySw&s. Without any context for this music, the essence of this piece is completely lost, but then again that’s probably the point. The final track “For Mother” is clearly the most “beautiful” and accessible piece on the album. Featuring a piano and lots of ambient noise,’ the track sounds like the love
vana and during Techno and Rave. Iwas expecting a bit more, like perhaps the opening chords of “Smells like Teen Spirit” opening up the al-
bum. While that may sound a little Weird Al Yankovicish, if anyone could pull it off while kickiing out the jams, it’d be Pop Will Eat Itself. Ultimately, these are white, London cru.sties who wanna rap, and they’ve at least learnedsomething alongtheway.They’ve only gottenbetter after their completely shit first album. The first track (“England’s Fiiest” is just a 45 second intro.) “Eat Me Drink Me Love Me Kill Me’ is the best non-single track by far, although the ‘Welcome to Hell” chorus reeks of the “16 different flavours of Hell” line from ‘Wise Up Sucker”. ‘Ihev’ve onlv got a few ideas b&wee/&em, these lads, but they’ve got enough backing from their record company to present them in lots of different ways. They have also moved away from the PE technique of presenting short instrumental versions of lines from other songs on their albums. “Urban Fut&istic” at least trips a little bit away from the rest of the album. They’vestillgotabitofakickinthem, though. The best line on the album comes from ‘Token Drug Song”, a little thorn in the side of ravers everywhere. “Bad Trip? Tough Shit!

Lyrics: She sings in “Bring it to Me”: I’. ..With love all aromd/ Aroundmesotight”.Withthegirth of the singer in mind, surely this is some cruel joke on the fat people of the world. Content: It’s just SHIT! What aboutthisisgood,ornotacomplete offense to the human race? Just the horrible mix of shitty grade 4 PO= etry set to this nauseatingly simple and pathetic music is enough to make me want to kill myself, .Form: This is the whole point. Music is more than words set to music. There’s got to be something else there, and the bland putrid banal#y of this offal is just more than I can stand. This shit is killing me!!! This is crap, this is garbage, it’s not music, it’s shit. I wish I had high blood pressure so I could register some physical reaction to the rant that my fingers are venting.

Dread Zeppelins progression can be charted as follows: Album One, ingenious humour. Album Two, humour. Album three. Stop peddlingthisschlockyoufarts. J&t ho us ali a favour and break up. To &vvy out credit where due, Tortelvis, unlike the King, knows thatthesecretto alonglifeisknow-
ingwhenit’stimetogo.Andexcept a couple of short cameos, he is nowheretobefoundonthenewalbum, What made Dread Zeppelin originally funny was the novdty foundinshamelesslyblendingmusical styles. File under “zeppelin inna Reggae stj4e”. Add to this the vocal stylings of an Elvis imper sonatorandifyoucouldstoplaughing long enough to listen to the lyricalcontent you would find a wealth of jokes layered and meshed superbly. An opportunity to see them live earmarked entertainment in every sense of the word, visual and aural. It’s wt Unuslcal is exactly that. It simply lacks the ingenuity and energy that forced people to sit up
and listen to the first two albums. Replacing originality with predictability,DreadZeppelinhavealmost consciouslydecidedtocoastontheir past glories. Perhaps they could have started by changing their name. There is no reason for them to call themselves Dread Zeppelin since there is nothing Dread nor Zeppelin about them. They always struck me as excellent marketing men, and previews for the new album indicated that this was to be no different, Disco has enjoyed a successful revival, what with Erasure’s Abbeesque and Australia’s Bjom Again. The Villiage People (yes they me still around) sell out to packed venues everywhere they go. On pa r, and as a concept, it was per p”ect, Dread Zeppelin go disco. Just think of the possibilities. Grooves to jive with the flares. Acursoryglanceoverthetrack listing tantalizes. ‘Disco Inferno:’ “Night Fever,” and ‘Tive Talkin’,” are fodder for hilarity. They even attemptedtotakeonthemoth!erof all disco classics, “Shaft.” ,That% where the fun stops. Replacing Tortelvis as frontman is Gary B.I.R.B. The obvious big shoes to~mayhavebeenbestlefton~ shelf, as forgettable vocals match uninspired music. There isnothing on this albtuiz that shines except maybe the disco ball proudly sported on the front cover. Where at one time I would have enjoyed lanpbhhg over the lyrics, usually riddled with cornucopia of catch phrases, I can na’er muster up the energy to sit through a complete run-through of the album, short as it may be. The cover says ‘File under Groovy Booty Bomb”. I say good advice, only forget the “Groovy”.

“To sing a song that old was sung.“ Shakespeare’s Greatest Hits Volume 11 begins in Engineering 1, Room 1501. It’s not a well known room, but you could almost believe it’s a theatre; the stage, the lights. . Yes it is Shakespeare, but with a twist. You won’t see lords and ladies, damsels or servants, You will see custodians, undergraduate, visiting professors, exchange students and T.A.‘s: characters that are all a part of the university~comrnunity. --The - only d$ference is that these words are Shakespeare’s Everyone, or almost everyone, can relate l

Above the Crowd Glengarry Glen Ross Directed by Jumes Foley
byjennifer imprint
Eppr Staff
If someone filmed Al Pacino picking his nose for two hours, it would still be mesmerizing entertainment. Pacino could probably probe his proboscis with more intensity and emotion, more charm and physical grace, than most thespians bring to the part of Hamlet. There’s no nasal excavation in Glenga7y Glen Ross, but Pacino does chew gum, run his fingers through his hair, straighten his belt, and twitch his shoulders. I’m not being facetious here. He’s an actor withenormousvitality, and it’s great to see a role that envelops him again-1 don’t think he has given this nhvsicallv distinctive a performance since
Pryce) is impressed, he drinks with him and befriends him. Just to make a sale. Pacino is the dynamo of this unpretty tale,butheisn’tthelead.That’sJackLemmon, whose textured face reveals the exhaustion of the failing Shelley Levene. At the beginning of the film, Levene is low man on the Premiere Properties totem pole. His boss (Kevin Spacey) has brought in a successful representative from downtown (Alec Baldwin) to give this unspectacular New York teama drill sergeant’s lecture: Baldwin bullies and humiliates the characters played by Lemmon, Alan Arkin, and Ed Harris. Though they resent being treated this way, they know that to not make money is to b6 nothing. Levene is the most likely to lose his job, and his desperation strips him of all pride-his attempts to win a stay of execution become utterly pathetic. Chicago-bred playwright David Mamet wrote Ghg~rry Glen Ross for the stage in order to transcribe his own experiences in the real estate business, and this is his screenplay, too. It’s tempting to refer to Mamet’s unique style of dialogue, to the fast, repetitive patter and harsh colloquialisms, but to do so is to approach his writing from the wrong angle. Mamet has a sharp ear, not a sharp tongue. He
has filtered through to certain sounds of human sp&--or, more specifically, inhuman speech, the explosions and diversions people engage in when they’re being really horrible. You have to listen, because the characters ramble on and on hilariously, spitting out expletives, and then, suddenly, the undercurrents of what you’ve been hearing hit you and knock you out. It took six years before a studio decided to throw caution to the winds, but the darkly funny material didn’t lose its bite in the interim. In translating the play to the screen, director James Foley avoids the trap of opening up the script too much-after all, confinement is integral to these characters, They spend the whole movie at or near their workplace, and the camera never travels past the doorway of the power seat, the boss’s office. Levene has a photo of his daughter on his desk, but we never meet any of these workers’ families. And thefirsthalfofthemovie takes place at night, in a thunderstorm, with a subway train rumbling overhead. The only brightness comes from the gaudy Chinese restaurant across the street, and its neon sign is only half-lit. Foley exploits the special talents of cinema in order to make this more than a filmed play. Close-ups push these pitchmen tothe extreme edges of the frame, overwhelming them with empty space-as if these isolated beings were always on the verge of slipping out of sight. It’s a perfect visual metaphor. Mamet is dissecting an amoral system, and, as in his plays Sexwd Pemersity in Chicquand Speed-the-Plow, the house of cards is doomed to topple. The scams carried out by these characters are much less adorable than those in Barry Levinson’s Tin Men, and the competition is too primal to seem glamorous and exciting like Other PeqZe’s Money was meant to. Roma praises Levene by calling him “the machine”, and Levene seems genuinely flattered. But he won that title for his ability to improvise complicated lies in front of customers. He gets on the phone and claims he’s flying in from Arizona, he pretends he’s talking to a secretary, and he has it all down, &en the voice. We can’t believe such a grandfatherly type does this for a living, selling proverbial swampland. WhenLinkdiscovershehasbeentricked, he actually apoZqizes. The characters in Glenpry Glen Ross axe covered in so many layers of injustice, their actions keep flabbergasting us. The potency of Mamet’s work is that it makes you doubt your definitions of winners and losers.

Federation of Students to cover the min& ldl costs, it’s possible. I’m told that in Volume I, they raised over a thousand dollars for Anselma House. A good show and a good cause. The show has a two week rtl~~. This Friday (today) and Saturday (tomorrow) at 890 pm, and Sunday at 2:oO pm. Next weekend, November 1345th, Friday and Saturday at 8:oO pm, Sunday at 2:OO pm. Watch for posters to help you find the room-it’s nor really that hard to locate. One word of advice. The doors open at 7:30 pm and there is an audience capacity of only fifty people. Show up early. It’s definitely worth the wait. “Now we want spirits to enforce, art to enchant” In Engineering 1, art truly does enchant.
