Fedsjoin callfor highertuition Student coalition demandspartnership with government, private sector by Peter

imprint

Brown stuf

A coalition of groups from five Ontario universities, including the University of Waterloo’s Federation of Students, has released a report that recommends increasing tuition fees by about one- third over the next three years, with a call that the provincial government provide reciprocal increases. At a news conference at Queen’s Park on Monday, November 16, representatives of the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance, representing about 85,000 university students in Ontario, unveiled a plan that would inject $360 million into Ontario’s postsecondary system. “Students can no longer accept increased fees unless everybody shares the burden of funding our postsecondary system equitably,” Jonathan Baillis of Queen’s University said. “And that, for us, is a fundamental tenet of our organization and of our proposal.” The plan calls for students to contribute by tuition hikes of $200 per year for the next three years, matched by equal increases in per1student funding by the Ontario government. These increases, OUSA says, would generate $320 million. The other $40 million of what it considers the minimum necessary to salvage the postsecondary system would come from the private sector, in the form of an educational training levy and contract research. The group stressed that increases in tuition fees also cannot be tolerated unless the current system of student financial aid in overhauled. It recommends an income contingency system, which would vary the rate at which student loans are paid back according to one’s income after graduation. After 15 years, the balance of one’s loan would be forgiven, but UW Fed president Dave Martin says that very few people would not be able to repay their loans in 15 years, according to the OUSA-developed model. OUSA complains that Ontario is ninth out of the ten provinces in per-student funding, while universities’ share of the provincial budget has dropped from 5.9 per cent in 1977-78 to 4.5 per cent in 1989-90, a difference of about $530 million. Its report also observes that per-student funding to Ontario’s universities has decreased by over 30 per cent since 1972. The OUSA proposal was developed by UW’s Feds, the Brock University Students’ Union, the Queen’s University Alma Mater Society, the University of Toronto’s Students’ Administrative Council, LJ. of T.‘s Association of Part-time Undergraduate Students, and the Wilfrid

Union.

Just weeks ago, the Ontario Federation of Students organized a protest at Queen’s Park that called

for the elimination of tuition fees. All of the universities within OUSA have seceded from the OFS within thelasttwoyearsandthishascaused many to consider OUSA a splinter group. The OFS has an official zerotuition-fee policy which OUSA members label as too unrealistic. During a referendum last winter; UW students voted to leave the OFS. The Yes side’s primary argument against membership in the OFS during that campaign was that OFS dealt with too many political issues that did not directly affect students. OUSA’s proposal, called “Students for Change: Access, Student Aid and Financial Recovery for Post Secondary Education in Ontario,” defines the organiza tion’s objectives in three main categories: accessibility, partnership funding, and accountability. The organization believes that higher tuition fees would not be a barrier to increased participation by traditionally under-represented groups as long as aid prpgrams are sufficient to reduce the financial burden of postsecondary education. OU% recommends outreach programs aimed at traditionally under-represented groups, such as students from working class backgrounds, women, people with disabilities, and visible minorities. In the area of accountability, OUSA suggests “an appraisal of undergraduate programming analogous to those conducted at the graduate level; the conduct of annual surveys of graduates to gather valuable information for curriculum development; the publishing of specific performance indicators,” according to the execu tive summary of their report. A working group at U of T. called Concerned About University Student Experience (CAUSE), led by former U. of T. Students’- Administrative Council (SAC) vicepresident Bart Arsenault, has come outagainsttheproposalasapproved the current version of SAC. Inaletter toImprint,Arsenault claims that “70 per cent of [U. of T.] students do not want tuition hikes.” He says that the “Students for Change” proposal is based upon a document originating at Queen’s University in 1989 called “Blueprint for Action.” Arsenault criticizes the plan that calls for 33-per-cent increases in tuition over the next three years, while only calling for 8.2-per-cent hikes in government funding. Although OUSA’s plan asks for dollar-for-dollar matching of increases, the provincial government’s already large contribution would make those increase much smaller in comparison. For the record, UW Fed president Dave Martin supported an incomecontingencyloanprogramand

In what was billed as “The BiggestHomecom!ngever,“UW’scampus was overrun by hundreds of alumni and their families this last weekend. Anniversaries ruled the weekend as the 25th Naismith basketball tournament kicked off the weekend on Friday, followed by the 35th Open House on Saturday. Also. celebrating anniversaries were the School of Optometry at 25 and St. Paul’s College at 30 (see related story, page 5). With the Naismith tournament the definite highlight of the weekend, each faculty had their own events and Open Houses to draw alumni back. On Friday, night the School of

Optometry held a wine and cheese event while, just down the road, Federation Hall housed the , Naismith Pub and The Return of Big Tent. Always a success, the Big Tent resembled Oktoberfest with the addition of a huge screen simulcasting the Glider concert in Fed Hall. Saturday morning brought alumni the all-campus Open House while the Eighth Annual Applied Health Studies five-kilometre fun run rounded ring road. As each faculty opened house, each building housed displays from the respective fields of study. The.Davis Centre offered the most stimulating environment with displays of computer “face warping,” the UW Midnight Sun solarpowered car, and other technologically based wonders.

Modern Languages offered an international cafe, Environmental Studies displayed architecture students at work, the Columbia Ice fields accommodated for pleasure skating, and the Campus Centre held a Career Insight day. Saturday evening at the University Club the Wines of the World were up for sampling for a minimal fee while the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir filled Fed Hall. While it may not have actually been the biggest Homecoming ever, there was certainly a wide array of activities to satisfy even the discriminating palate. The Warriors may’ not have won the Naismith, but Homecoming was still a great success.

St. Paul’s celebrates t,hirty by lsabelle Schade Imprint staff

Last Saturday November 14, St Paul’s college hosted an open house, as part of Homecoming Open House. What made St. Paul’s open house special, was that it was a part of their 30th anniversary activities. St. Paul’s College has planned a lot of activities to commemorate their 30th anniversary. One of the first, events was their convocation, where Dr. Douglas Hall - the first founding principal of St. Paul’s college was given an honourary degree. This event was followed by the 30th anniversary party. St. Paul’s staff and students also celebrated the founding of their college on Founder’s

day

with

a service

held

at Trinity United Church. Current students, former board members, staff, faculty and alumni all enjoyed these events.

All of the activities have made current students, staff and faculty more aware of the history of the college. Especially interesting, says Doreen Dodd director of development and alumni affairs, was the 30th anniversary party where “one of the former board members talked about the first [founder’s] luncheon where they talked about the formation [of the college] .” Upcoming anniversary activities include: the donor’s luncheon on December 1, the Black Forest coffee house on March 5 and 6, the grad’s banquet on March 3Oth, the friends of St. Paul’s dinner on April 24, and the annual college reunion weekend July 9-11.

affiliated with U.W. and open to all U.W. students. Academically, St. Paul’s is most renowned for the Canadian Studies

program, one of the oldest and best of such programs in Canada. The College also founded and holds SIPAR courses [Studies in Personality And Religion]. St. Paul’s has 1,600 alumni and keeps in touch with them by sending two newsletters a year. As the principal of the college and the director of alumni affairs travel across Canada, they look up old alumni and make an effort to contact them. There is a story family-like atmosphere at St. Paul’s both in the residence and at the college. The staff and faculty really care about their students. It is probably because of this that some students live in residence for the four years they are here at UW and that three students have been second generation St. Paul% students. It is for this reason that William Klassen, current principal of St+ Paul’s can say, “the best three decades lie before us.”

Racism rampant at U. of Guelph by /eff

Kaufman and Sullivan drafted a pubic letter in response, touching off a series of meetings. Last winter, the Educational EquityCommittee heard delegations from several campus groups while looking at the problem of racism. Initially they were to develop a policy, and had both administration and student representation. After analyzing the situations, they drafted a “statement of intent,” and recommended that a broadly-based humanrights policy and procedure be developed. That was when the Race Relation’s Commission entered the picture, voicin& a complaint abvout “exclusionary” process. They met with it’s Kaufman over the summer to discuss the issue. Kaufman agreed that the present method for dealing with complaints is “probably not working as well as it might”; a main reason being that students do not know “who to go to.” Currently students at Guelph are recommended to see the Office of Student Affairs or the Human Resources Centre. At Waterloo, racism and discrimination are covered by Policy 33. Here, students with a complaint have a variety of recourse, including the ombudsperson, the Human Rights Commission, and the Federation of Students. The university is currently advertising for a Human Rights Coordinator. Guelph is now also seeking a “Human Rights Advisor” for discrimination and harassment incidents of various natures. The administration is also setting up a Presid ien-

lmprintstaff The University of Guelph is currently to create A comprehensive policy on human rights. A sexual harassment policy is in place, though there is nothing outlining ho~v to handle other forms of discrimination or harassment, such as racism or ageism. ’ That, according to NathaKe Younglai of the student-run Race Relations Commission of Guelph, is unacceptable. The Commission. circulated a press release which compiled a list of recent “racist” incidents at Guelph; Younglai points to them as evidence of the rampant racism at that university, The university’s reliance solely on the Ontario Human Rights code, not on a specificpoliq is “counter-productive” and has resulted in the wrongful handling of many complaints. The University, according to the Commission, is presently using “an ad-hoc procedure” based on the sexual harassment policy. This results in delay and mishandling when students try to report a problem. They alluded to the handling of several recent complaints, but refused to be specific. However, according to Janet Kaufman at Guelph’s Office of Employment and Educational Equity, Guelph is trying to address the issues. To expect a quick-fix policy dealing Ivith only racism is inappropriate, she says. TWO committees dealt with discrimination at the university for the last tvvo years: the Advisory Committee on Employment Equity and the Advisory Committee on Educational Equity. The issue came lo a head recently when the Race Relations Commission sent out the press release denouncing the current state of affairs. Though neither side had made a concerted effort to speak before the release, trying

tial Task Force On Human Rights composed of students, staff, and faculty to study the issue. The Race Relations Commission contends, however, that the process is “exclusionary.” They allege that while the committees are officially “open” to students, themeetingdates areerraticandunpublicizd, thus frustrating student attempts to attend. The task force is expected to be in place by the end of the fall term, and the Race Relations Commission has been officially invited to help T

fused to comment on the Commission’s allegations concerning racist textbooks, professors, and course topics. The Commission, according to Younglai, “didn’t think that there was a need to release more information.” Brian Sullivan, the Associate Vice President, Student Affairs at Guelph, also refused to directly comment on the allegations. He viewed the Race Relations Commission’s public accusations as a “healthy” thing, helping to focus attention on the issue. Sullivan was quick to point out that racism at Cuelph is no worse than the surrounding community or other universities, he strongly agreed that it was an issue to be dealt with immediately. “I hear those messages,” he said, referring to need for high student involvement and speedier resolution of problems, the main requests of the Race Relations Commission. On November 9, members of the Race Relations Commission met with Janet Kaufman to discuss coneems the Commission had about the presidential task-force. The “potential” for 50 per cent student repro sentation is not enough, Younglai claimed, stating that there would be too much pressure from outside sources to limit the amount of students on the task force. In the end Younglai felt that there were “no concrete results” of the meeting, but acknowledges that Kaufman understood their viewpoint. “She didn’t even want to chair the [task-force] , . . she’s caught in a bind.” Seven members of the Commission also met with Guelph Acting President Jack MacDonald this past Monday, Nov. 16. However, they did not feel the meeting to be very productive, as MacDonald “didn’t like” studentspresentinghimwithalistof”demands.” According to Younglai, he also told the Commission that, having been at Guelph for 17 years, he did not think racism was a mons&us problem there.

The current slbw economy is serving up hard challenges for local economic development officers - and the University of Waterloo has just the program to support their work. offering both a certificate and diploma program, ,as well as specialized seminars, UW’s economic development program is a joint effort between the university and the Economic Developers Association of Canada. UW and EDAC launtied the program 20 years ago and since then participants have come from large and small communities. The courses are designed to provide local economic development staff with an opportunity for further education, says Prof. James Bater, director of the program. “The @al is to enhance the professional qualifications of economic development officers.” The program offers a certificate which involves satisfactory completion of two courses each lasting one week, plus related research papers. The certificate in economic development is awarded by the UW program and EDK. Afterward, certificate holders can obtain a diploma by completing two related seminars and writing a major research paper. Since 1974,349 certificates have been awarded by the UW program and EDAC. In addition, 51 diplomas have been awarded by the university since 1976. “We want to facilitate the professional education of those people in the business of professional development,” says Bater, a faculty member in ‘LIW’s geography department. “One of the strengths of the program is that we bring together people from one end of the country to another and they learn as much from each other as they do from us,” he says. The program features sessions on strategic economic development planning and impact analysis, as well as demographics, entrepreneurship and local economic development, and generating and maintaining local volunteer support, Additional topics covered include the role of the economic development officer, current trends in the Canadian economy, economic issues facing economic development and the link between physical planning and economic development. Also studied are communications and management in community economic develI opment, plus tourism and how to market a community. In 1990 - at the invitation of the Alberta Native Economic Developers Association and the Economic Developers Association of Alberta - the certificate program was offered off campus for the first time in Alberta to participants from native and non-native communities. . The initial success prompted repetitionof the off-campus course last year and again earlier this year in Alberta.

The City of Waterloo is currently undergoing procedures to rezone large portions of property around the both LM! and WLU to reflect the growing need for student housing. However, the changes City Council proposes are not to the liking of many property owners and tenants in these areas. At an informal public meeting at City Hall on the evening of Wednesday, November 18, council outlined its plans to a large crowd of interested property owners and tenants. The meeting was chaired by Councillor Susan Forwell, with Mayor Brian Tumbull, and several other Councillors in attendance. The proposed changes, presented by two city planners, involve the upscaling and downscaling of certain property areas around the two universities. The proposed areas were designated as either low-, mid-, or high-density housing. Other sites were designated as redevelopment zones. Council’s ‘goals with these rezonings are to “retain existing and encourage additional families to reside in the inner city,” promoting the stability of neighbourhoods, and “to recognize the desire for student housing either on, or in close proximity to, the university campuses,” as well as to encourage construction in mediumand high-density areas. Proposed re-zoning areas are all small sections of property within the bounds of Weber Street, University Avenue, and the CN Rail

line which runs through campus. These areas would be subject to either up or downscaling; that is raising or lowering density. However, these changes in density are what have many property owners and tenants worried. Several property owners presented arguments to Council on Wednesday night to not alter the zoning of their properties. While some argued that upscaling would increase student ghettoization and cause a loss of aesthetics in their neighbourhoods, others argued that downscaling would cause a great loss of investment for those planning to build larger residences on already owned proper ties. Marie-Paule Macdonald, associate professor in architecture at UW, argued for the quality of life for students. By downscaling certain areas in Uptown Waterloo which offer traditional North American wood frame housing theCity would, effectively, forcing students out of these neighbourhoods, she argued. “In addition,” Macdonald said, “the upscaling [of other areas] could lead to placing the student population in apartment ghettoes. It threatens the smaller scale existing housing stock, [replacing them with] alienating housing options that may be of inferior quality as well as unaffordable.” City policy planner Tom Mahler believes that these proposals would not lead to a student ghetto, rather, a diversification of housing types throughout the city. While the proposals have yet to be passed by Council, they are quite specific in defining zones. The zones are designated by the number

of units per hectare to be allowed in them. Within low-density areas, only one or two unit dwellings would be permitted, while smaller lodging houses would be permitted subject to a minimum distance between them. The proposed distance was 75 metres. Mid-density areas could house a maximum density of 100 units per hectare, meaning townhouses or walk up apartments would be permitted. Highdensity areas would permit up-to 250 units per hectare,

meaning high rise apartments and multiplexes. In both mid and high density zones, all lodging houses would not have to comply to a minimum separation distance. In all zones, existing buildings that do not conform to zone guidelines would be given special status and allowed to remain. This issues is far from over as many people questioned the need to up or downscale at all. There will be a formal public meeting on December 16 where the future of these proposals will be discussed. - -

“In other words, we are creating the enabling technology to make these applications possible at a low cost and with a high quality performance.” The areas of personal cornmunication and nomadic computing are considered an integral part of the future vition of global communication and information networking. It allows people using lightweight units to gain “instantaneous and portable access” to communication and information networks, Elmasry says. “This technology will therefore eliminate any constraints on where or when such access would take place.” Simply, the idea is for users to have personal numbers - similar to a telephone number - that will allow them to gain access to the networks and other people to easily reach them. “The key to achieve such a giant step in the global personal communications and nomadic computing field, at a reasonable cost, is the availability of a microchip technolwork-

ing at low battery voltages and consumes low power,” Elmasry says. The technical name for such technology is called BICMOS - pronounced By See Moss.

Studies

From November 23-26, the world will witness an event unparalleled in history. On these dates, 30,000 representatives from virtually every nation and territory, every culture, from thousands of tribes, from all walks of life, from every strata of every social ordering, and from every religious background will converge on the Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre in New York City. They will come to celebrate what they profoundly believe is the spirit of the age: the organic oneness of humanity. The event is the Baha’i World Congress, a celebration of the legacy of Bah6’u’llah. Baha’u’llhh (1817~1892), the ProphetFounder of the BahA’i Faith, proclaimed in the 19th century that humanity stood at the beginning of an era of unparalleled social change and restructuring, which would witness the collective coming of age of the human race. This transition, combined with humanity’s childish clinging to old patterns of behaviour, would produce upheaval, disorder and suffering so great as to call into question the very survival of civilization itself. The culmination of this process, the unification of the whole of mankind in a sustainable, equitable and peaceful world civilization, would be characterized by a world order appreciating the value of every culture and embracing with equal esteem people of every race, nation, religion, class, colour and educational background. BahZu’Mh, in over 100 volumes, outlined a world order based on the oneness of God, the oneness of religion and the oneness of humanity. The Bahh’i World Community, founded on His teachings, revolves around a Covenant which He also established. The clear line of successorship, following thepassing of Baha’u’llah, directs the Bah6’is to turn to the Universal House of Justice. It is through this Covenant and this Institution that the unifying force of Bahh’u’llAh’s message has both preserved the integrity of the Bahh’i Community and been released across the globe. BahZis assert that this unifying influence and its Instrument will be regarded by posterity as “the last refuge of a tottering civilization.” Bah&‘u’ll&h boldly stated that, “The world’s equilibrium hath been upset through the vibrating influence of this most great, this new World Order. Mankind’s ordered life hath been revolutionized through the agency of this unique, this wondrous System--the like of which mortal eyes have never witnessed.” Concerning the existing world order, He writes that, “The day is approaching when We will have rolled up the world and all that is therein, and spread out a new order in its stead. He, verily, is powerful over all things.” “The winds of despair are, alas, blowing from every direction, and the strife that divides and afflicts the human race is daily increasing. The signs of impending convulsions and chaos can now be discerned, inasmuch as the prevailing order appeareth to be lamentably defective.” ShoghiEffendi (1897~1957), theGuardian of the BahA’i Faith, writing in 1936 and referring to a two-fold process at work in our century has written: “The first is essentially an integrating process, while the second is fundamentally destructive. The former,as it steadily evolves, unfolds a System which may well serve as a pattern for that world polity towards which a strangely-disordered world is continually advancing; . . . [it] stands associated with the nascent Faith of BahA’u’llAh, and is the harbinger of the New World Order that Faith must erelongestablish. The destructive forces that characterize the other should be identified with a civilization that has refused to answer to the expectation of a new age, and is

consequently falling into chaos and decline.” The BahZi World Congress invites you to consider the truth of these words. At a time when the world appreciates the global nature of the problems facing it, yet, paradoxically, the forces of separation and division have virulently appeared once again the world over, Bahh’u’llsh’s words become increasingly poignant: “The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.” The Bahs’i Community offers itself as a sign of optimistic hope and Bahs’u’liAh’s message as a unifying force.

THE HOLY

YEAR

The Bah%‘i World Congress is invested with special significance in being the second of two major events during this Baha’i Holy Year. The period from April 21,1992 to April 20,1993 was declared a Holy Year to mark the 100th anniversary of the passing of Baha’u’llti. For Baha’is it is a time of profound reflection and preparation for “tasks yet to be done, heights yet to be attained, splendours yet to be unveiled.” On May 29th the first major event, the Commemoration of the Centenary of the Ascension of Bah?u’ll&h was observed as’ the clock struck 3:00 a.m. in Bahh’i communities around the world. An international gathering of some 3000 BahZs from over 200 countries also took place near Akk& Israel, the site of Bah&‘u’ll&h’s resting place. Among other events, Brazil’s Federal Chamber of Deputies, on its own initiative, marked the occasion wirh a special two-hour session during which several members of the legislature paid formal tribute to the prophetic vision, noble teachings and inspiring personage of BahA’u’lrah. Commemorative

stamps were issued by the governments of both Brazil and Panama. The Universal House of Justice states that the World Congress is an occasion for “deep reflection on the historic importance, the uniqueness, the meaning and efficacy of the Covenant established by Bahh’u’llAh, on the outstanding results of its influence in raising up a world-wide community comprising a great diversity of members, and on the triumph of its virtue as a unifying power.” The BaM’i World Congress serves as a pro found celebration of the Covenant and legacy of BahG’u’116h.

and appointed institutions which were further elaborated by ‘Abdu’l-Baha. Authority in the BahA’i community rests with ninemember, elected councils called Spiritual Assemblies, which exist at local, national and international levels. However, no individual has any spiritual authority over any other individual. Members of Assemblies are not paid, nor do they have any authority when the Assembly is not meeting. Elections are carried out by secret ballot in an attitude of prayer, without nominations, electioneering or campaigning of any kind. Local and National Spiritual Assemblies are elected yearly and the Universal House of Justice, the highest authority in the Bahs’i world, is elected every five years. The Bahfi’i AdministrativeOrder functions through a decision-making process knownas Bahii’iConsultation, which requires the abandonment of selfish interests and assumptions, detachment from one’s own opinions and the commitment to a unified search for solutions. In the consultation process, once an opinion has been stated it becomes a common possession and is no longer ‘owned’ by the one who expressed it. In this way, a diversity of opinions and perspectives on a problem becomes a means to achieve better solutions, and cannot deteriorate into the arguments which continuously occur in decision-making bodies of today. The responsibility of all those participating to freely set forth their opinions with courtesy and moderation, the parallel goal of a unanimous and harmonious decision and the obligation of each individual to wholeheartedly uphold the Assembly’s decision whether they were in favour of it or not are other important features of the consultative process. Such a process is not a simpIe thing to learn, and every Bah&‘iindividual or community can be said to be a student of the consultative process. However, the experiments with Bahii’u’llih’s guidance on consultation, in the administration of a highly diverse intemational community, have proven so fruitful in providing for decentralized, grass-roots decision-making while maintaining global vision and coordination that Bahi’is believe that such a process is indispensable for society as a whole. This is true especially now, when increasing multitudes of people both in this country and around the world are demanding to participate in the administration of their own affairs. In their writings, both Baha’u’lldh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahi have emphasized the significance and uniqueness of the Covenant. Two examples, written by Bah&‘u’ll&h and ‘Abdu’lBah& respectively, are as follows: “0 ye that dwell on earth! The distinguishing feature that marketh the preeminent character of this Supreme Revelation consisteth in that We have, on the one hand, blotted out . . . whatsoever bath been the cause of strife, of malice and mischief amongst the children of men, and have, on the other, laid down the essential prerequisites of concord, of understanding, of complete and enduring unity.” “So firm and mighty is this Covenant that from the beginning of time until the present day no religious Dispensation hath produced its like.”

In His Will, the Kitib-i-Ahd (The Book of the Covenant), Bah6’u’llsh appointed His eldest son, ‘Abdu’l-Baha, as the Centre of the Covenant, the sole Interpreter of His teachings and the effective Head of the BahA’i community. The Book of the Covenant is a document unique in religious history. The significance of the clarity of the written designation of ‘Abdu’l-BahA as the only authoritative interpreter is that it effectively prevented the disagreement and argument over the interpretation of scripturewhich has invariably resulted in strife and division in past religions. Although individuals may have their own understanding of BahA’u’llAh’s writings, they are forbidden to impose their interpretations on others. One implication of this is that there is no clergy in the BahA’i Faith. Because this is the age of mankind’s spiritual maturity, Bahd’u’ltih states, each individual has the

NEWYORK:THECITYOFTHECOI@NANT The World Congress is not being held in New York by accident. New York is of great significance to BahA’is -- so much so that it is called a spiritual treasure-despite its present state. New York is where ‘Abdu’l-Baha first set foot in North America on April 11, 2912. New York was the place wherein He proclaimed the station conferred upon Him by Bah&‘u’llBh: “I am the Centre of the Covenant, and this is the City of the Covenant.” ‘Abdu’l-Bahti held great expectations for the city which He termed “the first and greatest city of the Western Hemisphere.” He called New York, “the candle of America,“and the, “town of the love of God.” ‘Abdu’l-Bah&‘s vision of the significant role New York is to play in future world events is probably best illustrated by His first impressions of the city, spoken when He first arrived: “I am greatly pleased with the city of New York; its harbour entrance, its piers, buildings and broad avenues are magnificent and beautiful. Truly, it is a wonderful city. As New York has made such progress inmaterial civiliza tion, I hope that it may advance spiritually in the Kingdom and Covenant of God, so that the friends here may become the cause of the illumination of America, that this city may become the city of love and that the fragrances of God may be spread from this place to all parts of the world.” The world will witness history in the making. It will do it ina manner which is itself historic. The Association for Baha’i Studies invites you to see with your own eyes the legacy &f Bah$u’ll&h. On campus, a l&e satellite broadcast of the final Congress session will be aired, during which the Universal House of Justice will address the world. The pictures and words which will be relayed will testify to the truth of BahA’u’llih’s words that we “are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch,” andthat”Theearthisbut one country, and mankind its citizens.” The following statement made by ‘Abdu’lBahA in 1912, while attending a culturally and racially diverse meeting in New York, seems even more poignant now, and might be kept in mind, as we witness the Bah&‘i World Congress, in the City of the Covenant: “Souls from the East and the West have been brought together here through the power of the Holy Spirit. Such a gathering as this would be impossible through material means. A meeting of this kind hath now been established in New York, for here tonight we fiid people from remote regions of the earth, associated with the people of Americaintheutmost loveandspiritualunity. This is only possible through the power of God.”

Thedeathof democracy “Is Lewis Lapham the physician of democracy or the coroner?” asked Globe and Mail editor-in-chief William Thorsefl in introducing the editor of Harper’s magazine last Monday at Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre. Ninety minutes later, an audience member summarized the shortcomings of Lapham’s talk on “The Death of Democracy” by choosing the latter. But, though he had few answers to the problems plaguing American society and government, Lapham’s incisive analysis of those problems were more than worth listening

to. A major theme of Lapham’s body of thought is the topic of his new book, due out in spring, 1993, The Wish For Kings: The Denial of the Democratic Spirit in America. He touched on this theme on Monday night, saying that “a debased electorate asks of the state what the rich ask of their servants - i.e. ‘comfort us,’ ‘tell us what to do.’ The will to be cared for replaces the will to act.” Lapham prefaced his talk with the assurance that America’s current social and political system was certainly not a democracy, but an oligarchy, a system controlled by a handful of powerful people. He then gave a synopsis of the tast three years in American politics. In 1989, the Berlin wall was down and America was gladly accepting the misguided masses of the world into the “clean, well-lighted rooms of the American way of life.” “The Communist menace was severely mourned and sorely missed,” Lapham observed. In it, the US, lost its “black cloth upon which it could project images of American light.” He then flashed forward to the New Hampshire primaries last winter when presidential candidates began to define questions like “what is an American?” and began to depict the middle class in a completely different way than Ronald Reagan and George Bush did in the 1980s. Instead of being an object of praise, instead of “fondling,” politicians, especially Bill Clinton, cast the middle class as an object of pity, seduced and abandoned by the conservative rev0 Iution. George Bush always seemed, to Lapham, to be “America’s most gracious guest.” To him, the presidency was an object, like a tennis trophy. Bush’s distance from the public was at no time more apparent than immediately following the Los Angeles riots, when he rode through south-central L.A. in a bulletprooflimousine as though he were visiting another country. Lapham related a story of how Bush, trying to comfort a firefighter who had b&o&e paralyzed during the L.A. riots, told the man a story about how a storm had knocked down-a wall at Kennebunkport, Bush’s summer home. So far was Bush from regular people that this was as close he could come to a story of tragedy to comfort a paralyzed man. Lapham’s analysis of H. Ross Perot was similarly insightful. Although he

There can be no better way to hold yourself up to the world’s ridicule than to reaffirm archaic attitudes that are generally held to be originating from ignorance. And there can be no better way to get me flying off the handle than to have a religious organization or persons make statements guided solely by the Bible’s teachings.

Earlier this week, the Pope and some of his robed friends came up with a new catechism that doesn’t reflect even the most basic societal changes in the last halfmillennium. After 426 years, one might think that some of the ultra-conservative attitudes and doctrines might be lightened up a bit. Nope. No abortion or contraception, no divorce, and absolutely no ordination of women. Keep ‘em in the kitchen, I guess. With respect to homosexuals, they must of course remain celibate. And married couples must remain celibate, since new reproductive technology allows one to have children without actually having intercourse , . . no, just kidding. Seriously though, it’s quite frightening. VP of the Association of Lesbians and Gays of Ottawa, Graham Haig, put it like this: “It’s very hard to balance your life when your religion tries to deny your existence.” I totally agree with him. Ird make the suggestion that anyone else who has a religion that denies their existence simply abandon that religion. Deny that god’s existence. After all, god can’t be too kind of a god if Rom e is somehow directed by it/ she/a vacuous absence of reasoning powers/he to reinforce sexism and homophobia. If you ask someone to fix your car’s door handle, and they accidentally compress your entire car into small block of metal, do you go back there? Then if you

recognize religion as somewhat of a crutch, but one that isn’t too damn sturdy if you’re not a white male, then why use it? v 1 can’t understand it, but I have faith (yes, it’s an intended pun) that someone will explain this phenomenon to me. To me, however, this blunder will have a positive effect. Official spokespeople are predicting that.the Church may split into liberal and conservative factions, and I don’t doubt it, The liberal faction will probably be larger, if common knowledge means anything. How many people do you know that attended Catholic high schools

The only reminders of the idea of u god will be Christmas and Easter and adhere to the Church’s doctrine? Right. The orthodox side will soon go the way of the horse and buggy - seen every now and then but generally not a bother to the rest of us except when we step in the horse’s shit. And if history tells us anything, the heretics will eventually dissipate as well, having become so open-minded that the only reminders of the idea of a god will be Christmas and Easter. With the future of the Catholic Church now clearly explained, it’s time to move on to another subject that will soon be obsolete - our fair ieader, Mr. Mulroney. I was dismayed and surprised beyond description almost four years ago today when Canadians re-elected the weasel, but promise to eat my shoe if the electorate

fucks up again. 1993 will finish the cleansing of North America, for better or worse. Greying politicians that can’t stop lying will be evicted from their plush residences, and be replaced by someone that can lie better. When will we have enough of this bullshit? How much can we take, people? Brian’s not rolling the dice this time - he’s not going to raise taxes (because he’s on the way out), but will cut the deficit and jump start the economy. Aaaghhhh! Take up arms and rise against the state! If not for your own sanity, do it because it’ll make you feel good. The reason taxes won’t have to be raised is that we’ll be forking out an extra billion or so for legal pharmaceutical drugs; Ontario cyclists will have to buy bicycle helmets; we’ll all be taking out liability insurance ti case someone slips on the grass in front of the house and decides to sue, and so on. If we’re being forced by legislation to spend money, I guess consumer spending will rise. Canadians may have one of the highest standards of living, but I haven’t a clue how this came about. I’m getting quite tired of complaining about our bloated and malfunctioning government; aren’t you? We have to do something, people, other than simply vote every four years. The current structure of government isn’t doing much for most of us and needs to be overthrown or radically altered, but how? j Perhaps Sandy Atwal’s imaginary world where capitalism and anarchism coexist will be realized.

Forum Craig’s approach is flawed To

the

editor,

Ken Craig essay, “Jesus - not the only way,” (Imprint, Nov. 13) raised some interesting and relevant considerations My response to it is not meant in the spirit of contention, but in the spirit of friendly clarification, given that some of Craig’s comments are on the one hand two broad, and on the other too narrow, and in either case not perfectly convincing in the arguement he proposed to have set forth. First of all, a technical point: Craig lists a variety of religions as “theistic faiths,” which do not all neatly fit the category in the same ways. Christianity and Hinduism, for example, are quite differently “theistic,” and to apply the term to either implies quite different things about what theism is, or demands radical changes in the theology of the one or the other. It follows quite swiftly on the heels of this distinction unfortunately for Craig’s intended thesis that not all religions can be “worshipping the One same God.” The similarities which exist between various conceptions of “higher reality” are also incapable of serving the purpose to which Craig wished them to be put. That is, that their mere similarities do not make them identical, nor even forcibly imply the same. Accidental likenesses are common between all creatures, but they do not make a dog the same as a cat, nor a person identical with an ape. Neither do the similarities (such as, being higher, being eternal, being purportedly focussed on and the source of a certain conception of The Good, etc.) between, say, Plato’s Forms, Hinduism’s Atman, Moses’ Jehovah, or Jesus’ Heavenly Father/Abba, make them the self-same God. I agree with Craig, who was quoting Jesus, when he suggested that it is by the fruits (results, actions, outcomes) or a religion that we may “know them.” What needs to be asked, however, prior to making an appraisal of any faith, is just what is meant by “good fruits.” Which fruits are the good ones? If we limit what we are willing to call a good fruit to just those things which are in fact common between religions, then of course we may claim they have an identical source. This is, however, a rather permissive manipulation of data aimed at reaching a specific desired conclusion, and it is not an honest empirical test to discover whether, in fact, the hypothesis is correct. In his conclusion, Craig makes two rather tendentious statements. One is that he suddenly claims that the idea he is disclaiming through the essay is that “God only speaks Truth in Jesus Christ.” However, it has not been consistently obvious that this is the issue at hand. What most of his comments aim at is the notion that “Christianity (is) the most true faith,” which is, in fact, different from the idea that God speaks Truth only in Christ. The latter idea is quite easily denied, and if that was his focus Craig need hardly have spent so much times on it. Christ himself utilized universal human experience both to evidence and to teach about the nature and purpose of God; in this respect he was totally non-exclusive. Even the contentious St. Paul reminds us that whatever these is in this world, it is in someway educative about the universe of God’s experience and understanding, and what is required to perceive it is the spiritual gift that comes by prayer and a sincere heart, not by baptism or certain works. Let me presume then that Craig really intended to attack the former notion, that of the “exclusive ‘Christcentred’ vantage point,” or else all his efforts seem to have been an exercise in futility. What characterizes the “Christcentred” vantage point is not so much the idea that God speaks exclusively through Jesus; but that salvation

and irreplaceable way. Christian claim, is it not? Identifying this, I can now point out the second of Craig’s tendentious concluding comments: that is, that by making asser-

tions contrary to those which he did make in the essay, Craig would somehow me in the position of “tie(ing) God’s hands.” In other words, Craig claims that it ties God’s hands to reiterate (on the basis of faith, and not “intellectual sophistry/” as Craig would have it) what God, Him/Herself, is purported to have stated. It would actually be no more a case of a Christian tieing God’s hands, than that for a Moslem to claim that Mohommed received the Koran by divine revelation, or for a Jaina to claim that observance of their vows would release karmic matter from their souls, would be instances of them tieing the hands of their gods. Craig’s ambition to find common ground for communication and relationship between religious adherents is noble, but his approach has been flawed. I trust he will investigate further and find where there is genuine peace to found in this matter. Michael U. MA progrurn,

the

editor,

I would like to take this opportunity to reply to Ken Craig’s article on “Jesus -- not the only way” in last week’s Imprint. Since reply letters are rarely interesting unless you know the background, and as I have the article in front of me, I will t‘ry to brief you as to the opinions of the author as accurately as I can. My apologies if my explanation is not complete. Mr. Craig starts off by pointing out that there are similarities between Christianity and other religions, and that other faiths can produce “good fruits”. I do not dispute this. But taken a step further, many neighbourhood communities and events of a purely secular nature also have produced positive results for the benefit of society. Yet I do not believe that even Mr. Craig would claim that this grants them spiritual salvation. This brings me to my next concern about the quote “good fruits”. The context in which it is has been used in the previous article is referring.to society. I do not believe this is what was meant by it. When Jesus taught, it was more likely to be of a spiritual nature than not, and in the case of the latter it always had strong spiritual association. When it mentions the fruits of the spirit in Galatians 522-23 it does not talk of their use in society but to the individual. In the Bible it is the individual and their relationship with God who is emphasised for the reason that civilization is finite. It comes and goes, but the spirit remains forever, which makes any benefit to the spirit infinitely more important than that of society. This means that it is impossible to judge whether or not a religion is completely just, on the basis of societies gains. I have been speaking solely from a Christian point of view, which may tend to bother Mr. Craig, since he speaks of religious harmony and commonality. Again, I agree that there are some theological similarities to many religions, including Christianity. It might be accurate to say that most are based on some form of truth. But this is where our ideas part company. Since I have accepted that Jesus is God, (not that Mr. Craig hasn’t) I must also accept everything that He said as nothing but the truth. Any@ing less would be pointless. This means believing Him when He said “I am the way and the truth and the life. NO one comes to the Father except through me” (John ‘15:6). I must also take Him seriously when he talks about false prophets, Jesus return, and who is saved or condemned. This in its entirety supports no other religion. I can respect other peoples faiths. I can even believe that they are also basing it on truth. But when it comes to searching for the entire truth, I have come to believe that it is nothing less than Jesus. Tim

editor,

The state of youth has never been more sedated and individualistic than it is today. Even in the seventies when disco and “the hustle” were a city’s Saturday Night, we had groups like The Clash, Patti Smith Group, and Elvis Costello to tell us that the Bee Gees were not the only voice to be listened to. Where are those voices today? I recently visited Phil’s, the “altemative” club at King and University with the hope of finding the voices of today’s youth who are sick and tired of North America’s individualism, consumerism, and mega culture-militarism. To sum up my experience that Friday night, I’ll use T.S. Eliot’s words - “this is the way the world ends, noi with a bang but a whimper.” It seemed to me that the atmosphere at Phil’s that night reflected, instead of challenged, the present values of the society we live in. The only change was the outward appearance of black clothes. With two of the best bands going today, Public Enemy, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, bringing out greatest hits packages, who can blame us, the youth of today, for buying into the American way? With great marketers in the movie industry like Oliver Stone who brings Doors fans and New Kids on the Block fans together into the same movie theatre to watch trivial drug trips of a sixties rebel, who can blame us, the youth of today, for believing the leather jacket is merely a way to look cool like the model on television with a silly pseudo-Elvis haircut and buxom blonde on his arm? I have grown tired of visiting “altemative” clubs and seeing the best minds of my own generation, dancing only with the walls or with nobody at all. I have grown tired of visiting record stores and seeing the best my culture has to offer get co-opted by MTV, Coca-cola, record sales, and assumptions of the learned professor. Youth of today, I hope you are growing tired as well, tired of expressing your minds and attitudes within the confining limits of a trendy club or a concert hall. It is time to make our voices heard in the university, and especially the cell of the modem classroom. It is time to take back what is ours. Crdg

Timor invasion not welcome To

the

editor,

Some “different views on East Timor” expressed by 20 Indonesian students in a letter to the editor have me very worried. Xn what I hope is not an attempt to justify the Indonesian genocide of 300,000 East Timorese, they expressed their belief that East Timor chose to integrate with Indonesia. “We believe that truth is to be sought through obtaining as much information as possible, from as much existing perspectives as well” the letter states. This indeed is a respectable principle, a seemingly fair and just way of obtaining the truth. It serves, however, to condemn a person’s viewpoint as much as it serves to justify one. Information, as the letter implies, does not necessarily have anything to do with truth. The serious omission of facts in the letter to the editor leads me to believe that your information sources are, at best, inaccurate, but more likely, doctored to serve the interests of the Indonesian government. So with respect to the principal of considering all information before determining what is true, let me share some facts and views that you have dangerous disregarded. Last week Ramsey Hart wrote about the one-year anniversary of the massacre of at least 100 East Timorese demonstrators. It may be true that nobody agrees upon what exactly what happened that day, but undeniably the actions following are a clear indication of Indonesian repression. The National Commission of Inquiry set up to investigate the situation was run by Indonesian personel. Is it possible to fairly investigate your own actions? And further, Indonesia washes its hands clean of the Nov. 12 massacre with

token court-martials of 10 Indonesian soldiers, the average sentence being 14 mm&. What is often not mentioned are the 8 East Timorese jailed for “subversion” or “anti-government activities”. Their sentences range.from 5 year 8 months, to life, the average being about 10 years. These and other jailed Timorese are political prisoners, their only “crime” being the pursuit of independence. “East Timor, whose pei>ple are racially and culturally distinct from both Portuguese and Indonesians, has a long history of favouring self-rule.” (Globe and Mail, April 4,92). If the people of East Timor wanted to integrate with Indonesia, as the letter to Imprint claims, then why, in late 1975, did the UN call on “Indonesia to withdraw without delay all its forces from the Territory “? (Resolution 384/19?5) And why; after the 1975 occupation, did more than 80 per cent of the Timorese population abandon their homes and move to the mountains? (Letter from resistance leader Shanana Gusmao to the UN) Surely this can only be interpreted as an act of resistance. It is also interesting how resistance groups are so easily written off as “terrorist” groups, like Indonesia claims with Fretlin, the guerrilla resistance group. It is hard for Fretlin to challenge this accusation when journalists were prohibited from entering East Timor from 1975 to 1989, meaning that the Indonesian government had (and still has) complete control of the national media, the main source for international information about East Timor. The claim that East Timor chose to integrate with Indonesia, whether true or not, cannot justify the unquestionable genocide of their people by the hands of the Indonesian government. It only takes a watchful and questioning eye to find the hundreds of indications that East Timor is determined to reach independence. I have been accused of “information asymmetry” in an asymmetricly informed letter to the editor. People often believe what they want to believe, and somehow find only sources that support that belief.

Patriotism often has this effect+ The claim “that the conclusion that Indonesia invaded East Timor. . . cannot be regarded as valid yet” is a clear example of the act of blaming the victim. I suggest that a wider range of sources be regarded before expressing such dangerous beliefs. Greg

Thanks from squash teacher editor,

I am writing to thank a few UW students who went out of their way to assist me the other night. I am a squash instructor with Campus Rec., and, with one lesson left, I found myself without prebooked courts. Two gentlemen were kind enough to finish their game early, and two others condescended to give up their court time so that I could finish my lessons. I apologize for the inconvenience to these students, and I extend my sincerest thanks to them. Peter

Perot’s “caustic wit and nice sense of the soundbite, he called Perot to an apprentice tyrant, pointing out the absurdity of an avowed autocrat asking to be elected king. “It [Perot’s candidacy] would have played as farce if he was not worth $2.5 bitlion,” Lapham said. “A few hundred million is a number that impresses people somewhat, but 2.5 billion is almost a divine number.” “People in other countries acknowledge the kind of power that money gives someone, but only in America do we believe the myth that a rich man is a wise man,” he continued. He likened the U.S. government to a hotel manager, expected to do everything to ensure the comfoti of his clients. The questioned asked of the American people every four years, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?“, equates to the hotel manager’s “Did you like your room?“. Lapham sees America, and the rest of the first world, becoming more feudal over the next I5 years. *‘The 21 st century will start to look like the 15th century,” he said. “The moneyed in different countries have more in common 4th each other than with the lower-middle class within their own country.” Right now, Lapham said, there are multinational companies who flout nationstates, even their own. “America is a nation of rich versus a Tation of poor,” he Lapham said. Five per :ent of the U.S. population own virtually all Bf the capital assets and ten per cent of the people own 70 per cent of the wealth.

A women’s place is in the house . . . of Bishops

On Wednesday, November 11, 1992, the General Synod of the Church of England finally decided to catch up with the rest of the Anglican Communion and ordain women as priests. The Anglican Church of Canada passed the same motion in 1973, and the first women were ordained priests in 1976. There are still those in all denominations, however, who disagree with the idea of women clergy. Elizabeth MacDonald, a United Church minister who talked with the SCM about her experiences, shared a story about a fellow student in seminary. He told her that, despite having prayed for an answer, he remained unconvinced that God wanted female clergy. Elspeth Alley, one of the first women priests in the Anglican Church, was threatened by a fellow student: “For every day that you are in this institution, I will make your life as miserable as possible.” Research has shown that 98 per cent of women in professional ministry in Canada have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. The Bishop of London threatened to resign over the Church of England’s decision. And, of course, the Roman Catholic Church has problems with female altar servers, much less female priests. There are several arguments against women priests, most of which hinge on 1 Corinthians 14:34, which says that women should “keep silence in the churches.” Such arguments ignore other scriptures that speak of women as apostles and leaders in the early churches. Some say that the priest is Christ’s representative on earth, and since Christ took a male body, that representative must also be male. There is also the difficulty

a woman would have combining home and family with a career as demanding as the professional ministry, There are also feminists who oppose the ordination of women on the basis that women should not enter such a hierarchal and patriarchal structure as the Church, Once they do so, men will have control of women’s activities and they will lose the wonderful, creative work that communities of women (like the St, Hilda’s community in England) have produced. However, as a woman who is planning to enter the clergy, I can find nothing but a profound sense of joy at the Church of England’s decision. I do believe that every Christian (or, for that matter, every member of any religious tradition) has a vocation to minister to those around her or him, but I also believe that religiouscommunities need leadership. Women are very capable of providing this leadership, and in many ways may provide people with new visions of God. What better image of the Creator than a pregnant priest? Images of God can (and should) be expanded to include Mother, as well as Father. Women in the Church who feel disempowered in other spheres of life can find a sense of affirmation in seeing a sister in the pulpit, and women preaching can offer an entirely new set of experiences and insights to their listeners. Those who fear change are especially scared of religious reforms, and are often hurt when such reforms are made, But I believe that women have a lot to offer the Church, and a lot to offer God.

Wesmlen deny St. FX dynasty Top-ranked Winnipeg captures 25th Naismith Crown in thrillingfinal by Peter Imprint

Scoring workhorse Alex Urosevic did not locate the hole until the Warriors were already down 28-10. At the 13:OO mark of the half, Waterloo had only scored 13 points, meaning that the team had combined for 30 points in its last 33 minutes of basketball, if the 17 second-half points versus St. FX are included. O’Rourke added two more treys beforehalf-time (bring his halftime total to five), with York draining two of his own and Dave Lynch adding one. Cuelph’s 49-26 half-time lead ballooned to 90-59 by game’s end, with Waterloo mounting no real comeback. Chris Baldauf and perennial OUAA West all-star Tim Mau hogged the boards with 16 and 14 respectively for Guelph, while O’Rourke led the Gryphs with 24 points on 5-of-10 three-point shooting and 3-of-6 field goal shooting. Wesolowski and Mau eached netted 17 points. VanKoughnett led all Waterloo scorers with 17 points, powered by 5-of-10 trey-putting. Urosevic and York tallied eight each.

Gold Medal Game: Winnipeg /St. Francis Xavier d The history

books will have to

wait.

The Winnipeg Wesmen turned away the St. Francis Xavier X-men’s quest to become to first team to win four straight Naisrnith Classic titles at last weekend’s 25th Annual edition of the tournament. The Wesmen won the gold 6965 in a hotly contested match that saw neither team lead by more than eight points. Waterloo fans were rooting for Winnipeg, since the Warriors have accomplished the three-peat on two other occasions. The Wesmen were led by 6’8” forward Jeff Foreman, who scored 21 points while playing for the entire game. Seven-footer Norm Froemel ripped down 15 rebounds and scored 20 points (11 boards and 14 points while playing all 20 minutes of the second half). Foreman was named tournament most valuable player and was joined on the tourney all-star squad by teammate Froemel. Other all-stars included Waterloo’s own Sean VanKoughnett, Acadia’s Eric James, and Brian Lee and Richard Bella from St. Francis Xavier. Rhett Turner pitched in to Win: nipeg’s championship effort with 15 points from the guard spot, and joined with David Korpela to lay a blanket over St. FX’s guards. Turner was also the last-minute hero last Sunday as he hit a clutch trey to put Winnipeg ahead 66-65 with just over a minute left to play. After his counterpart on the Xmen Lee missed two free throws and his teammate Rob Derksen missed the front end of a one-andone, Turner extended the Wesmen lead to three on a trip to the stripe. Foreman iced the victory with a free throw himself. X-men guard Merrick Palmer was still able to score 14 points, behind team-leader Guy Mbongo with 16. Sculpted but under-achiev-

Bronze Medal Game: Watertoo\Guelph The Warriors started off against the Guelph Gryphons in Sunday’s bronze medal game in much the same way as they ended Saturday night’s “second half of horrors” versus St. Francis Xavier. In short, they stunk. Two early VanKoughnett three-pointers put Waterloo up 6-4, but the Gryphs promptly squared their shoulders and embarked on a 16-U run to lead 20-6 only seven minutes into the game. This explosion was primarily powered by

guard Chris O’Rourke, who took advantage of screen after screen, draining two treys during that run. Meanwhile, on the gold side of the ball, Waterloo was quite simply confused. Even the usually composed VanKoughnett fired a couple of risky passes that sailed out of bounds past their intended receiver. It took bench-help Dave Lynch and Tom Balfe to end Waterloo’s scoring drought before O’Rourke hit another three-pointer. Pressure from O’Rourke and brilliant sophomore Rich Wesolowski kept Warrior point guard B.J. York from being able to effectively set up any offence at all.

The Waterloo varsity badminton team played in Guelph last weekend for its second west sectional tournament. The tournament included the hosts Guelph, as well as McMaster and Western. A weak showing by the Western team allowed the Warriors to capitalize on 13 of the 18 possible matches and take first place after the two-day competition. “This was the weekend to win, with three of Western’s top players absent,” says head coach Jeff White. “Emphasis was put on playing a smart and self-paced game, making it more of a mental game.” Missing from the Western squad were Jason Hermitage and the national doubles champion team of Kyle and Lance Hunter, who were away in Winnipeg for a grand prix tournament. The singles draw was held Saturday, where two members posted perfect win-loss records. Veteran Dan Mclver, the numberthree man, and rookie Kelly Slough, playing number four, both came out with decisive wins over Guelph, McMaster, and Western. Veteran Neville Stringer had a hard time against Western, dropping a close match to finish at 2-1. Rookie Dan Frank, playing number one for the first time, started out with a hammer, upsetting Western’s Kevin Carscadden in a three-game match. Frank eventually pulled out of the singles event after a stomach ache forced a tight loss to McMaster’s John Mullen. Fifth player Cliff Tao substibted in for Frank’s last game versus Guelph, but was unable to come out with a win. On Sunday, the Warriors doubles and mixed team secured their overall placing at

the tournament. The number-one team of McIver/Stringer easily defeated McMaster and Guelph, despite some careless rallies where Stringer was left racquetless. A recovering Frank teamed with Slough to post a 2-l record, with the sole loss to Western. The mixed team of Tao and Kathleen Kolstern beat out all competitors to reinforce Waterloo’s first-place mixed standing in the west division. The Athenas are holding strong in fifth place in theOWIAA, close behind the Queen’s .team. They should make up ground at the next tournament and be in position to challenge for the fourth-place spot, the last playoff position. The Waterloo women finished third at the Guelph tournament thanks to excellent showings by Marcie MacVicar, Kristin Bobbie, Joanna Buzek, Judy Dotten, and Kathleen Kolstem* Rookie Buzek holds the +Athenas’ only perfect record from an earlier tournament in October at M&laster. A major upset over Ottawa, the defending women’s champs, and Queen’s (fourth place) make Buzek a likely contender for this year’s team MVP. The team’s next competition is on January 23-24, as the team travels to Ottawa for the second cross-over tournament. Coach White and assistant coach Brian Biemann are ensuring that their players remain fit over the holidays. “This is the last tournament of the season and I want the team to be perfectly geared for the playoffs in February,” says Biemann. “I’m working on a new fitness and diet plan to ensure the team doesn’t get rusty over Christmas. . White is quite certain that no players are moving away on a co-op work term, so the team’s road to the playoffs seems to be wellpaved.

THE

SHOWDOWN

Parity is becoming the main factor of interuniversity men’s volleyball this season in one of Canada’s toughest divisions, the OUAA West. The McMaster Marauders and “Black Plague” Waterloo Warriors, the division frontrunners at 5-0 and 4-l respectively, will clash next Wednesday night, November 25 at the PAC in Waterloo to battle it out for a national ranking. This should be a great battle between the two premier teams in the West. Waterloo, bubbling just under the top 10 national rankings, finished off the week with two road victories, edging the Guelph Gryphons in the Royal City last Friday night (November 13) 3-2 (15-10,15-6,5-E, 12-15,15-B) and conquering the Western Mustangs in London by the same score on Wednesday (November 18) (14-X,15-6,15-lO, ll-15,1513).

The Marauders meanwhile, currently ranked fifth in Canada, continued their undefeated streak beating the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 3-l on Friday and the Windsor Lancers in straight sets this past Wednesday. And just think, the Warriors would be tied with McMaster at 5-O if it wasn’t for that minor mental lapse in their deciding game against the Brock Badgers just two weeks ago. Wilfrid Laurier, the surprise darkhorse in the early going, sits alone in third at 3-2, while Western, Brock, and Windsor are logjammed in fourth at 2-3. Guelph (O-6) occupies the basement. After sporadic outings in recent matches, the Plague showed some guts in their two victories this past week. Against Guelph Friday night, Warrior offside hitting sensation Jon Tenthorey kept up his feverish scoring pace by amassing 27 points. He tore up the Gryphon defence with 23 kills at a 44 per cent kill efficiency, while stacking up three stuff blocks and adding one service ace. The pintsized powerhouse currently ranks third in OUAA West scoring and fifth in the province with 4.9 points per game. A well-rounded athlete, Tenthorey posted 13 digs and three recoveries on defence. Dubbed as “the greatest natural athlete that Warrior head coach Scott Shantz has ever coached,” Tenthorey is making a run for OUAA West player of the year.

Rene

Holt

pounded 12 kills, two blocks, and an ace for 15 points at the power hitting position. Freshman sensation and CXJAA West rookie of the year candidate Pete Denison also hit double digits with 11 points on nine kills and two stuffs. Denison and sophomore sensation Mike Lardis spent much of the evening building walls for the Gryph’s top gun Trevor Scott. Giant middle hitter Richard Koomans, another promising rookie Plaguester, had his best outing of the young season, hitting over top of Guelph blocks for six kills in four games, Wednesday night’s victory over the Mustangs was a collective effort. Tenthorey spearheaded the attack once again, this time with 28 points which included 23 kills. Tenthorey was also Waterloo’s best defensive player, shovelling up six digs and two recoveries in the win. Team captain Mike Fullerton also put out a very solid back court game, denying Western kills on seven occasions. Holt followed close behind once again with 22 points, including 18 kills. Defensively, relief players Eric Butcher, Lardis, and Koomans registered 17digs collectively (most of which came in game four) to spark the comeback in the deciding set. Koomans deserves special recognition, as he went one-onone with Western power hitter and team sparkplug Todd Robinson, extinguishing his smoke. and sending him back to the chalkboard. Third-year setter Shawn Smith, often going unrecognized in the stats because of his position, supplied two of his most accurate and challenging offences of the season thus far. The 1991-92 OUAA West division all-star and team MVP played both matches in their entirety and is just about in full form for the rest of the season after coming off the injury list just eight weeks ago. &fore the big bout with McMaster this coming Wednesday, the Warriors will be participating in a sixteen-team Can-Am exhibition volleyball tournament at the University of Guelph this weekend. Waterloo plays Ball State in the preliminary round on Friday at 1 p.m. and then meets up with either the York Yeomen or Brock Friday night at 7 o’clock. This is a great opportunity to witness some great international calibre volleyball.

three of last year’s players retuming. For their efforts, the team received the silver medal. The remaining team members,Jody Kerr, Karen Issler, Jennifer Smith, and Melanie McMillian, should all be congratulated for their fine efforts and diligence this early in the season. + For the men, Jamie Bromalea skipped the team to victories over Western and a mixed team (the Laurier men were unable to attend), while they lost a hard-fought game to Laurentian in the last end. With a fairly new team this year, the Warriors showed great poise on the ice and are sure to be strong contenders throughout the season. The team, also including Mike McCutcheon, Dean Palmer, Karl Bilyj, and Shannon Alpaugh, also were awarded the silver medal, losing by points to Western. Both teams would like to thank their coach Bill Tschirhart and his wife Cathy (the social director) for the time they are putting in to make our teams competitive this year, The teams will compete again on Sunday at the Westmount Golf and Country CIub in the Waterloo invitational starting at 8:30 a.m.

Team

Last Saturday, the Warrior and Athena curling teams commenced their 1992-93 season at the Western Invitational bonspiel in London. Both teams started the season off on the right foot, each winning two of three games. On the women’s side, the Athenas, skipped by Margaret Corey, defeated both Western and Laurentian opponents, while losing a clos second game to Wilfrid Laurier. The women are looking forward to a promising season, with

Athenas hope to bounce back vs. Mac by Frank Imprint

Seglenieks spom

Well, in five matches so far this season, the volleyball A thenas have certainly been well matched against their OWIAA opponents. Four of five matches have gone the maximum five games; if just a few rallies had gone Waterloo’s way, the team might have a better record. Unfortunately, even with their strong performances in some matches, their record is a disappointing l-4. Waterloo played a very strong match against Guelph last Friday night in the home of the Gryphons. The Athenas came out strong in the first game taking it 15-2, with the second going Guelph’s way 15-P. The teams then traded 15-11 scores in the next two games to set up the inevitable fifthgame. Waterloo was not really into this game as GueIph was able to take the rally point game 15-5. According to coach Dena Deglau, the team played their best

match of the season and if they had played that way against Brock or Windsor, those results would have been different. From the stat sheet that night, NickyCampbelllead thehitparade putting down 11 kills, with both Michelle VanVliet and Sue Bylsma contributing with 8. In the defensive categories middle hitter Carren Hall led the team with 4 blocks and 12 digs. In action this Wednesday, the Athenas travelled down the 401 to match up with Western. Details were sketchy at press time, but it seem that the Mustangs were able to control the match winning 15-9, 15-5 and 15-11. Well, we are getting further and further into the season, and it’s getting a bit late to keep getting beaten in these close matches. Let’s hope the team’s fortune will turn around soon and team can play up to their potential. The next match is against McMaster on Wednesday here at the PAC at 6 p.m.

Church of Latter Day Sinners The Bourbon Tabernacle Federation Hall November 14,1992

Choir

by Bemurcf Keamey Imprint staff

There are times when I am very proud to say that I am a student at the University of Waterloo and there are times when I am not at all. I was proud to find out that our school was accredited #I medium size university in Canada. I was embarrassed to be in the company of a group of #l assholes at Federation Hall last Saturday night. Homecoming is a celebration. Far be it for me to criticize the spirit of the event. Homecoming ‘92 was also privy to a excellent LIVE musical exhibition by one of Canada’s best bands The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir. What can be said about a student population who would prefer to be entertained by records than savour the opportunity of enjoying the musicof a LIVE band. You know, I could almost, almost understand if the music was cutting edge, hip, happening and at very least spoke something to me about my life. I would stand wholeheartedly behind the crowd if the performing act was remotely boring, bereft of enthusiam, unable to champion the spirit of Homecoming., BUT that was not the case. The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir

their current album Superior CackEing Hen, (including the poignant “Rude Groove”), and Sister Anthony. Again, on Saturday night you probably didn’t notice that. That’s OK though, because in about fifteen years, the mindless plebes you will affectionately know as your off spring wiI1 undoubtedly dance feverishly to a selection of Bourbon tracks on DAT, while wading

through orange napalm blown onto the dance floor. It won’t be long before The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir finally begin to reap the benefits they deserve from years of hard, hard work. They will one day become rich and famous. In about seventeen years or so, they will release a box set. You will buy if, because you were a fan when they released their first album (it was their best). I have attended my fair share of Bourbon gigs in the past. Obviously some were better than others; we all have our off nights. Saturday night’s gig was excellent under the circumstances. Sound quality was spot on, they were tighter than a budget, and hauled out the massive groove sails. The ingredients were all there, all that was required was a little enthusiasm (how about even a pinch of civility). The Bourbons don’t need you as fans. If you ever decide to venture out of your closet one day, you’ll find that they are more than well received in Toronto, across Canada, and in New York. The give and they give. And they usually get. Applause that is. Our Homecoming cheer should be “Sha-Sha-Shame on you, Wa-Wa-Waterloo.” And while I’m at it, who are Glider and why are they always invited to our Homecoming? Oh, wait. . . stupid question.

A Greek tragedy written by Euripedes, The Bacchae tells the story of Dionysus, the god of intoxication and his return to the city of Thebes seeking the worship of all its inhabitants. When met with resistance by Pentheus, the present ruler, Dionysus, sets into motion a catastrophic whirlwind of devastation and destruction. The play begins the moment you enter the the&r*.

certainly something to be proud of, and while we all stand around patting each other’s back or fanny (you decide), accolades should be duly afforded to our drama department for consistence in quality, diversity, and professionalism. , The Bacchae marks the drama department’s Fall ‘92 tenacious attempt to engender a germ of culture into our otherwise forgettable lives. Be thankful because based on the Homecoming ‘92 attitudes pervading the campus last week (see the article above) we could use any and every bit of civility thrown in our general direction.

It’s Just a ‘Popularity Contest CASBY Awards Showline Studios, Toron to November 15,1992 &ySandyAtwcahnd imprint stuff

BemardKearney

Canadian music has grown in leaps and bounds in the past few years. Whereas before, our greatest musical success stories were often our greatest exports, bands like The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo and Sons of Freedom have at least shown that Canadian music doesn’t have to fly south for success. Likewise, bands like The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Moxy Friivous and many other bands (alright, the Barenaked Ladies) have proven that even independent bands can break into a market already flooded with products from all around the world. This brings us to the CASBY’s an acronym for Canadian Artists Selected By You (or whoever got off their ass to fill out a ballot). This annual awards ceremony was held this past Sunday, at the immense Showline Studios in Toronto and Imprint was there to see what kind of free stuff we could get. The food wasn’t too bad, just some pasta with chicken, salad and some rolls, the cash bar (one complimentary bottle of Canadian per guest) was however a different story. I mean people come from all over the country and all that the CASBY’s can afford us is one bottle of crap Canadian? Well, not to sound like ungrateful bastards, the show was extremely well organized, with little or no confusion amongst the guests. The speeches weren’t too long, and everything rolled along pretty much as per schedule. The presentation was pretty much as

expected, The Barenaked Ladies Awards for much of the show, nominated in six categories, took home three awards(Favorite group, live act and debut album) as well another for favourite producer (Michael Philip Wojewoda).BlueRodeoandGrapesofWrath (yawn, what have they done for me lately?), also did pretty well, taking two awards a piece. Swoony Sarah Mclachlan managed to garnish accreditation as Canada’s Favourite Female Vocalist. Thankfully shutout was Bootsauce, but unfortunately Sons of Freedom, Meryn Cadell and Thomas Trio and the Red Albino were forced to share that dubious spotlight. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was when Teenage Head receieved the Lifetime Achievment award, their name having been invoked several times during the show. As the band said their thank you’s, one of the women sitting at the next table turned to a friend and asked simply “Who’s this?” Lifetime achievment. . ., indeed. It was also aggravating when in discussion with a radio DJ who said he hosts a Canadian Music Magazine show, it was unearthed that he knew nothing at all about Sons of Freedom. Not meaning to sound elitist, but he purportedly does host a radio show whose mandate is to highlight Canadian music. It was interesting to note that in the catgory of Favourite Reggae/Ska (like they are just so related) Group, not one of the bands were black, nor Reggae. Hmmm. To follow the awards ceremony, Sloan were slated to perform a one hour gig, to be broadcast live accross Canada. At the end of the first song, tuned in listeners from St. John’s to Vancouver could hear Sloan frontman say “Where is everybody?” and

As CFNY DJ Alan Cross put it, the “Schmooze factor” was really high, but participation in the event (i.e. clapping enthusaistically at approprate moments, like whenthisidiotputupahugesignthatpleaded APPLAUSE) was low. This is testimony to the reality of intention pervading theatmosphere atthe Showline, bu perhaps the organizers should look to themselves for the solution.

I-Iow could anticipation NOT be felt? Soul Asylum, Lemonheads. And let’s not forget Walt Mink, a Minneapolis trio whose potential to create intense musical energy is up there with the rest of them. For weeks I had beencounting the days, waiting hour after hour for the arrival of November 16. Inherent in such eagerness however, is the danger of catastrophic letdown. When one craves brilliance, one expects

ante that extra glow liance.

brilliance; if these heights aren’t achieved, then one leaves the spectacle disillusioned and downtrodden. Such was-not the case at the Spectrum in Toronto. Walt Mink took the stage at around 4. I entered the premises at 9:30. A potential dilemma (and not a good way to undertake my first review ever). The last few songs that I did manage to hear sounded tight, without losing that sense of raw energy that unleashes uncontrollable bursts of adrenalin. While John Kimbrough fronted the band with vocals and guitar, Candice Belanoff and Joey Waronker maintained an equally important stance as they spumed the songs forward with pulsating rhythmsonbassanddrums. Though

From start to finish, Soul Asylum tackled every one of their songs head on. Focusing primarily on material from And the Horse Thy Rode In On and Grave Dantms Union (their latest), Soul Asylum renewed the guitar-driven drive that characterizes their songs of old. While the entire band maintained this intensity, the visual impact of David and Daniel throwing themselves around the stage, captivated onlookers even further. Though their whole set shone, a definite highlight was a medley of songs they performed in the midst of “Made to Be Broken” including, “Leaving On A Jet Plane and Sinead O’Connor’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”

Hailing from the Minneapolis music scene, Soul Asylum (David Pirner and Daniel Murphy on guitar, vocals; Grant Young ondrums; Karl Mueller on bass) have constantly struggled for recognition alongside the likes of Hiisker Dii and the Replacements. Moving to a major record label four years ago and increasing the accessibility of their songs have been a part of this evolutionary struggle. While searching for the perfect blend of aggressive angst and melodious melody, the band’s last few albums have been somewhat inconsistent. Not so Monday night.

I was somewhat disappointed by the vocalist’s child-like whine, friends that made it to the show before me assured me that the band impressed the onlookers with a captivating and intense performance. After a rapid shift of equipment, the Lemonheads appeared on stage at about 10. Having been a Lemonhead-head myself for about three years, seeing such brilliance before my eyes was a high in itself; Evan Dando (guitar, vocals) and David Ryan (drums) have consistently conceived songs that offer melodic intensity and creative lyrics. In the case of the Lemonheads, such spiritedness isn’t the result of elaborate production techniques; the energy that the band naturally embodies became evident the very second Dandostruck the first chord on his guitar. While concentrating primarily on material from their latest release, It’s a Shame About Ray, the Lemonheads rocked the Spectrum with controlled but unleashed intensity. Dando’s vocals were heartfelt and unwavering, and luckily for listeners, Monday night (unlike at the Sugar show a few weeks ago) the mixer didn’t endeavour to bury the emotions Dando’s voice conveys. Had Juliana Hatfield been present (she appears as bassist and background vocalist on the band’s latest, plus she toured and sang with the band earlier this year), the picture would have been perfect. Nevertheless, the band was far from

This wall was created by the two guitarists with female lead singer Chris Schmidt’s voice occasionally echoing and peaking through. It seemed likea few songs were needed until the band really got into it, but once they did get going they played their hearts out. A few people were even enticed to enter the dance floor, overall a good start for the event. The second band of the night, Billy But, proved to be the most impressive for me. The sound was a lot cleaner than the opener, with much clearer lyrics. The 3 member band from Guelph has a predominantly garage type guitar sound and even a broken guitar string on Dave Withers’ instrument didn’t stop the music as he went into a monologue about “nothing”.

Lots of bands, lots of music, lots of grunge, would be about the *best way to describe the two day Sounds of Sludge event held this week at Phil’s Bar and Grill. This first, inwhat hopefully will become a semi regular event, highlighted local bands which do not have a great opportunity to play in this area. It was also a wake up call to the people of the area that great live music does exist and with their support more will be possible. To start off the event on Tuesday, Tank Top hit the stage and appropriately enough took the hun-

They highlighted some of their new songs including one entitled “Turn” which they still don’t know how to end. The singing duties were shared between Withers and bassist Don Kudo, both of whom are quite fine singers. The set ended with the song “I Wish” whichwas another fine song, and a great way to end a set by a band which I hope to see again. An April March ended the first day’s festivities with their lush melodies which earned them a spot on the most recent CFNY music sampler. Of course being the headliner for the first night they couldn’t be seen in their street clothes and they had to don their fancy dancy clothes. The band lulled the crowd with their music and lyrics, there wasn’t much action on the stage and this didn’t encourage much action on the floor. I left after they played the song from the CFNY sampler. On the Wednesday night show, I was impressed by the number of people who were able to resist the temptation of going to the Shelter and hear music from yesteryear and made the effort to check out some of the local up and coming bands. The night started with a relatively new band called Bogg which played pretty much straight up rock and roll, pity all the fools at Shelter hearing twenty five year old recordings when the real thing was just down the street. They showed how 5 guys with 3 guitars can still put on a melodic and entertaining show. The crowd was amazingly enthusiastic although nobody could have heard the songs before, of course the crowd were also anticipating the rest of this great night of music. Event organizers War Wagon, masters of Canadian dirge folk, then took the stage and played what I will remember as the best show I have seen in a while. All members of the band were in fine form, with singers John Pierce and Mike Wirt barely standing still for an instant, be they hopping around the stage or into the audience. Most of the selections the band played were from their recently

available cassette Finnigun ‘s Tongue, with a few new songs thrown in, as well some of their older stuff like “Farewell to Nova Scotia” and their

The dancefloor of Phil’s was crazy from their first song to their last, showing that decent local music can be appreciated in the correct forum. The all too short ended with “Resurrecting Harry” from theaforementioned cassette and reluctantly the audience bid farewell to War Wagon.

Steelie ended with Duotang, from their 7 inch single and the event had come to an end.

If last year was particulary traumatic for Nick Currie a.k.a. Momus, his 1592 releases should be a harvest of neuroses. Two albums, two labels, two entirely different time capsules are The Ultraconfornzist and Vuyager, The first, a mock “live” cabaret morality play recorded “somewhere in London, 1910,“The second, a state-of-the-art technological smorgasbord of dance rhythms and emotional fireworks, finds itself negotiating the immediate future. Evolving out of a collection of album tracks, The unused Ulfracu~jbrmist threatens to steal much of the official (read: Creation,) release’s thunder.

She’s called the Madonna of POland and her name is Iza Trojanowska but everybody calls her Iza. Iza was a well known actress in Poland, starring on the stage and television before launching a music career. Already famous for her acting, Iza made the transition from the camera to the studio easily and successfully. In 1980 she won the Polish Song Festival in Opole as well as the Intervision song festival the same year. Her first album Izu gained her titles like best album of the year, best song of the year and best single of the year and she was voted best female singer of the year. Another album called UKLady followed in 1982 with the same amount of success. Moving to Germany, she took a break from the spotlight but returned to Poland to be a special guest at the International song festival and to witness the changes to her natide land. So moved was she, that she

recorded a new album incorporating what she had witnessed. Well, that album is called indqz~denc~ and it’s actually quite good. 1 especially liked the first song which is a sort of native Polish folk song. It’s haunting and just beautifully done. After that, she sounds so American. It’s obvious that Iza wanted to do what most non-American superstars want to do - make it big in the good ‘ole U.S of A. In one way that’s not a bad thing. I suppose she ‘d rather be a big fish in a big pond than a big fish in a small pond but well, part of me thinks she’s selling out, by trying to be more American. But I guess it would be more difficult to sell a CD full of Polish folk tunes, no matter how good they are. - I do like her voice, it’s rich and diverse but it’s not spectacular - I don’t thinkI’d give heranaward for best female singer but I guess I don’t live in Poland. I mean, really, was there much competition? Istill thinkIzashouldhavesa.ng more Polish songs even though I wouldn’t have understood the words, I would’ve understood the emotions more clearly. They were there in the first song which was the strongest. Being American isn’t different, but being Polish and successful is. Iza is playing

In the classics department, what has to be the Momus theme song serves as invocation for this “evening;” “Sinister Themes,” manifests Curries’ acute poetic vision in seeing: “The villans of vaudeville, young lovers’ quarrels, pearls before parliaments, lepers in laurels, roses that sprout from the throats of dead kings... Angels caught up in their own puppet strings,” and a characteristically clever final line which actually works better on paper: “My first is in eMbers, my second in woman, my third in eMotion, my fourth is in human, my fifth is in suffers and also in longs. My whole is in Momus and these are my songs.”

Other delectable, pure Momus pieces abound. Consider “The Cheque’s In The Post,” where Momus addresses an old lover, assessing “the wrongs I have done you hell, when I you: #’ “giving should have been treating you well etc.,” tallying up the approximate monetary reimbursement which will substantially and momentarily dispel his guilt. The title track (also the only new one) is the sorrid tale of a living icon of desperation: “I try to be normal.., really I do / I try not to chew... on my hat... I sit on the table/ eat soup from the ladle... I really would like to be fat.” An uncharacteristically (for thisaibum) upbeat piece “Spy On The Moon,” could’ve in another form sat comfortably on Voyuger and thus, the The collected pieces of Ultraconformist are an excellent survey of his entire carreer - unlike a lowly outtake album, yet technically ineligible as a “best of.” A time machine on a different kind of crash course altogether. ,A

It’s always been Momus’ style to whisper his pleas: like Cohen and many others before him, he makes you reach out slowly to his vocals - if you can touch them, he can touch you. Voyaser preoccupies itself with the technology of our planet and, above all its communicative potential. In virtual reality, you can crawl into someone’s mind, but, Currie wonders, will the heart be moved?

The title track is an elegant development of the simple layerings of Hippupotamomus’s “Ventriloquists And Dolls.” Some speak of albums that must be enjoyed on CD or with headphones to be truly enjoyed. With Vuygm, the technology hasn’t been invented yet for complete consumption - but it’s a coming.

Yet another release from the industrial chameleon conglomeration. I wonder where this is going, and where it will end. Pigface, this time around, seem to be led by KMFDM’s En Esch, Ogre, and Mary Byker. One of the hardest things to do when reviewing this is how to classify it. The songs are each k-itten by different people, and thus sound completely different from one another. So is this an album, or a compilation? Many tracks are so KMFDMlike that En Esch is the only apparent musical influence, while others are so Skinny Puppy-like that you would swear they are just cuts off Last Rights or some older release.

That is a big problem here: is this a group with an album, or an excuse touseanindependentlabel toshowcase their talents? There is absolutely no continuity whatsoever, so it almost seems like the latter proposal holds. To say the least, this album is vicious. Most of the tracks here are a reflection of the darker sides of these artists--and you thought their lighter sides were evil! The disk starts out on a “KMFDM-gone-crazy” step. The first track-an obvious product of En Esch, featuring the KMFDMite’s vocals distorted to the point of demonity. The beat is somewhere around 18Dbpm (ie. thrash). On the second track, it takes a turn in the other direction. “Ten Ground and Down,” features Chris Connelly and Lesley Rankine on vocals, accompanied by a cello, of all instruments. the music is therefore a combination of hard drum beats--almost tribal--and a cello , mourning in the background. Meanwhile, Rankine’s deadly vocals rage into the forefront. The effect is mesmerizing, but takes

awhile to get a grip on the listener. The thrashiness of the previous track keeps one in a killer mode far after the end of the song. As a result, half of this song becomes wasted while one tries to adjust to the change in pace. This happens over and over throughout the album. I have a feeling they could have released two separate disks: one of the Slower, more melodic material, and another of the harder, more industrial music. I find there to be a serious flaw in a CD if I have to spend the first minute of practically every track

trying to adjust my listening ear to the type and pace of the song currently being played. Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s not a bad album. Tracks like “Insemination” by Skinny-oopsPigface, sung by Ogre, are a gem in the post Skinny Puppy/Nettwerk era. Also, a track like “Hips, Tits, Lips, Power” is “conquering new frontiers” in the industrial genre, since it is done with Byker’s and Rankine’s not-so-feminine vocals, completely twisted around. It sounds somewhere between Sonic Youth, Hilt, and Revolting Cocks-

However, the assembling of so many talents in one studio, and putting them all on one disk, under one name, leaves the listener confused. This is due to not knowing exactly what, or who, they are listening to, and having to adjust to every song due to lack of album continuity. Or was that the whole idea??

The problem with trying to keepupwithwhattheBritonsthink is good music, is that by the time their flavour of the weekhas crossed the ocean, it’s already melted. Few bands, if any, live up to the hype of an NME cover. Fortunately, this is notthecasewithTheHouseofLove. They’ve received much well-deserved attention from the British papers, and in this case, the goods are delivered. The House of Love (named after the Anais Nin novel A Thief in the House of Love) have had a rather long and convuluted history, going through more line-up changes than the CFNY staff, but through it all, they’ve managed to produce some excellent albums (basically all titled Tti House of Love), achieving both chart success as well as critical acclaim. Guy Chadwick has managed to keep his mind together long enough to put out what may be his masterpiece. Babe Rainbow contains some of the best material that the House of Love have put out. The album alternates between a funky-drummer side and the bside which slowly washes over the reader in a ethereal blend of pulsating chords and whispered moumful vocals.

Megadeth Suicidal Tendencies In t ernutional Cm ter November 16,1992 by Paul Nichol und Rich Nichol lmgrint metul siblings

Over the past five years, Megadeth has been on the uprise and is now one of the most preeminent bands of the heavy metal genre. The L.A. based foursome certainly proved their superiority at a cancer t in Toronto at the International Centre last Monday night, pumping out venemous, razor-sharp material to 6,000 of their most dedicated followers. Megadeth, the brainchild of lead vocalist/lead guitarist/writer /producer Dave Mustaine, offers loud, yet intricate and thought provoking hard rock compositions. The band played a good mix of selections from their five album discography, but stuck mostly to the last four LIT’s Peace Sells But Who’s Buying, So Far, So Good, So What, Rust In Peace, and this summer’s release Countdown To Extinction. The band opened up with the adrenaline surging sample “Holy Wars”, the full-throttle cut “Skin Of My Teeth”, and the chilling ditty “Wake Up Dead”. Allowing the masses to take a break from the feverish pace and crowd-surfing festivities, Megadeth went to the far left of their hardness scale for the acoustically-flavoured “Foreclosure Of A Dream”. As the concert progressed, more and more of the fabulous lighting coordinations were introduced. Two of the many effects included lightning bolts on the Megadeth banner overhead and caged lighting under the drummer’s platform. Incidentally, Nick Menza’s drum kit was encased in a half-open brass cage with all of the equipment mounted to it. This new technology was an eye-opener. Mustaine and guitarist Marty Friedman forged many pick-shredding guitar solos throughout

“Sweating

To Extinction” and Mustaine, who has to switch back and

forth between his banshee wails and basement-octave growls, chose to drop the vocals into low gear for the intro to “TheConjuring.” Before the next song, Mustaine paused for some thoughts on the recent trend of metal albums drenched with ballads. “Out of all the cassettes we’ve listened to in the past few years, we can’t think of one fucking cassette that isn’t ruined by a lovesong.” The comment was an appropriate preface for “Tornado Of Souls,” a tune about a boy and a girl. The boy loves the girl but the girl hates the boy. Since feelings aren’t mutual, the boy kills the girl. It is not a slow ballad, but a love song nonetheless. Megadeth ended with the high-octane “Ashes In Your Mouth” from Countdown To Extinction. The song ended with a brief, ferocious drum solo by Menza. The highlights of the encore set, and perhaps of the entire concert were the Megadeth favorites “Symphony of Destruction” and “Peace Sells But Who’s Buying.” “Symphony of Destruction” is, arguably, the most superior cut off of Countdown To Extinctiun. “Peace Sells But Who’s Buying” featured peace signs and dollar signs {created by sweeping spotlights) which littered the stone grey backdrops. One critique against the concert may have been the slight drowning out of the vocals and guitar work by the bass drums. Perhaps the extra bass was a reverberation from the acoustically inappropriate surroundings of the warehouse-style venue. Otherwise, flawless! The opening act, Suicidal Tendencies, played a one hour set which was frenzied but otherwise uneventful. ST. elected to promote the new material from The Arf of ReMlion including *‘Monopoly On Sorrow”, “Nobody Hears”, and “I’ll Hate You Better”. The belting out of “Breakdown” seemed to stir the faithful the best. Suicidal Tendencies did not play the adolescently rebellious track “Jnstitutionalized”, and that was a severe disappointment. .mThe two minute narrations by the lead vocalist

Morris ignores Hawking’s heroes in favour of anecdotes about the boy playing Monopoly.

The anonymity surrounding Hawkingimpoverishesthefilm;this galaxy, at least, is full of people, and one cannot contemplate creation without factoring them in. Morris’ orbiting tea cups and wrist-watches aren’t a patch on human beings. And even though the tone of the picture is overwhelmingly complimentary, it’s all in the third person. Hawking’s synthesized voiceovers, some written by him especially for the film and others taken from his book, lend a lot of flavour.

A Brief History of Time Directed by Errol Morris

“I had envisaged a documentary-style film that would be almost exclusively about science, with a large number of graphics,” writes renowned physicist Stephen W. Hawking, speaking of the proposed movie of his best-seller A BriefHistoy of Time: Frum the Big Bang to Black Holes. “However, when they began to make the film, it seemed it was going to be almost entirely about my life, with very little about science.” Hawking goes on: “When I protested, I was told that the kind of film I had in mind would have appeal only to a fairly small number of people. To reach a mass audience, it was necessary to combine the science with material about my life. I was dubious.” He let director Errol Morris go ahead, however, and the final product won two documentary prizes at the Sundance Film Festival. So you might think the filmmakers knew whereof they spake. Yeah, well, you’d be wrong. The 1988 book which inspired Morris’ film squeezes a great many scientific theories into a mere 175 pages of text. The reader has to be awake, and absorb t new, abstract concepts quickly, but that is not to say Hawking writes drily. He has an ironic sense of humour, and he explains his theories through commonplace metaphors. Morris’ groundwork was done for him; Hawking had already made a special effort to couch his ideas in layperson’s terms. It was exciting to hear this

movie was being made, because filming any non-fiction, non-biographical work poses unique challenges. Yet Morris pays no attention to the fact he has entitled his documentary A BriefHis#ory of Time, not A Brief History of Stephen Hawking. He interviews Hawking’s friends, relatives, and colleagues; gathers old photographs of Hawking as a child; and gives us lots of heartwarming material about how Hawking has learned to live with ALS, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neurone disease and Lou Gehrig’s disease. At the age of 21, Hawking was told he had two and a half years to live. He is now 50. His body is “a cabbage,” and only his heart, lungs, and brain still function, but his life of the mind is extraordinarily rich. One excellent image in the film is of his wheelchair hurtling through space; it is in that chair he spends much of his time ruminating on Time. He communicates his thoughts on the origin of the universe through a speech synthesizer, a kind of computerized bliss board, and he is Lucasion Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University in England, the same position Isaac Newton once held. There is no doubt he is a fascinating man, and the story Morris

uncovers--of a child prodigy, an eccentric, a genius, and a survivor-is well worth telling. But setting out to film his book and ending up talking about Hawking is a disservice to him. Besides, since Morris is also trying to throw in some of the book’s main themes and achieve a mystical atmosphere, it isn’t even a complete biography. The film never mentions that Hawking’s mother (the most personable and irresistible of the interview subjects) used to be a member of the Communist Party, nor do we learn that just before filming began, Hawking and his wife, Jane, separated. We’re never allowed to know what we want to know: when we want to understand a cosmological quote, Morris decides to wade through a photo album, and when we feel we’re just beginning to get a sense of Hawking’s life, Morris cuts to some computer animation about black holes. You can see what Morris was aiming for, The mystery of what it must be like to be trapped inside Hawking’s body parallels the mystery of the universe, and the miracle that enabled Hawking’s illness to become a catalyst and focus his intelligence is no less stupendous than the Big Bang. However, the docu-

having our separation from him underlined? Of course thecomputer animation bits, by Rhythm and Hues, are neat, and all the jokey illustrations of Hawking’s topics are successful. The score, composed by the invaluable Philip Glass, is suitably otherworldly. When Morris allows A Brief History of Time to actually discuss black holes, God, Time, and so on, the movie takes off. After all, what is being considered is so huge, even to b.roach the subject Seems insane--a perfect situation for filmmaking. Yet Morris doesn’t include any interpretation of the book. What did Carl Sagan (who wrote the introduction to it) think? And Douglas Adams? And Shirley Maclaine? Morris keeps himself too reined in--he should be going wild here. I want to know how these discoveries relate to Oriental beliefs about the Tao and Brahms, I want to feel that sense of wonder which Hawking’s mother claims he always had. Instead, Morris’ documentary just gives us the sense that STEPHEN HAWKING IS A GENIUS, SO DON’T HOPE TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING HE SAYS. And that’s the opposite of what Hawking would want.
