Student charged with UW murder byJeffrey imprint
L. Millar stuff
Charges of second-degree murder were laid Tuesday against Kris Eric Warkentin, 23, in the New Year’s Day slaying of engineering graduate student David John Zaharchuk. Warkentin, a third-year chemical engineering student, surrendered himself to Waterloo Regional Police Monday evening. He appeared in provincial court Tuesday where he was remanded in custody until February 9. Investigators, working with information received from various students over the past few weeks, travelled to Hinton, Alberta to question Warkentin, who was on a coop work term at the nearby Gregg River mine. Police had questioned Warkentin before, and had also searched his apartment in the Mar-

Alan George, vice-president, academic and provost, said in a prepared statement Tuesday, “I would like to remind faculty, staff’ and students that this episode is not at an end; a charge does not necessarily result in a conviction.” George went on to express his appreciation to the Waterloo Regional Police “. . . for their diligence in the investigation and for their generousco-operationwith theuniversity over the days since January 1.” George also praised UW police, If . . . for their hard work, courage, and patience in dealing with the difficulties we have experienced.” Warkentin will appear in court again on February 9.

Last Friday, the faculty council of applied health sciences voted 39 to 21 in favour of the proposal of AHS dean Robert Norman to refuse to admit any new students to the dance department in September, 1993 and thereby begin a three-year phase-out of the degree program. Dr. Norm Ashton, the Chair of Dance, was the only abstention. The next step is to take the issue before the Senate, which meets on Feb. 15. Although there are 75 voting members in the council, the Jan. 29 faculty council meeting was attended by a crowd of over 200. Emotions ran high and many students, graduates, faculty, and even one parent stood up to speak during the three-hour session. “Thisis the most distasteful task that I’ve had to do,” Norman told

The Worker’s Compensation Board has proposed that coverage be extended to unpaid trainingprogram participants, including thousands of student volunteers and trainees. This idea has created a crisis for both students and companies alike. ?Yheproposal is still in the planning phase. A final meeting, to be held at the end of February, will determine whether or not it will become a WCB policy. If passed, thou&ds of positions generally held by students hoping to gain practical career experience, will be in jeopardy. Workplace training programs will have to be cut because employers will simply not be able to afford the WCB assess-
ments. A letter sent to the WCB, signed by the heads of the Council of Ontario Universities, the Ontario Hospita1 Association and the Association of Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology of Ontario stated that, “Students throughout theprovince are at this moment being cu t off from training as a result of your policy direction...

to cover student placements. Due to this extra cost, some hospitals are looking to terminate existing agreements with colleges and universities. But Elisabeth Brown, Senior Policy Analyist for the WCB, stated that the new policy would actually assist student placements. How? Confusion would be eliminated concerning coverage, she said. Volunteers would be secure in the fact that if they were injured on the job there would be an insurance payment and emplovers would notha;e to be concerned about law suits. Brown also stated that at this point the proposal is premature. More details will be available after the end of February when the Board of Directors makesits final decision regarding the issue.

UW will receive approximately half a million dollars over the next two years for repairs and renovations from an Ontario government program. The NDP’s $2.3 billion Jobs Ontario Capital program, from which UW will gain money, was announced last summer to create
jobs and assist in restructuring and promoting community and social progess. Of the $30.6 million allotted to universities by the program, UW’s half-million dollars will be used, on campus, to improve energy conservation and fund water, air, and waste management programs. Improvements to lighting and laboratory renovations will also be made. “Through Jobs Ontarion Capital we are investing in the future of the province by renewing the infrastructure of our colleges and universities today,” said Richard Allen, Minister of Colleges and Universities. Jobs Ontario Capital has set aside two-thirds of the $30.6 million for major projects, the rest will be used for general projects. UW’s money will be used for general projects, says Dennis Huber,
Director of business services in Plant Operations, as the university did not win funding for major projects. Other Ontario universities are planning to undertake either renovations of existing buildings or constuction of new buildings. The University of Western Ontario recieved $5 million to renovate. Also renovating are Ryerson with $1.9 million, and Brock with $2.5 million. Wilfrid Laurier million to build a and science building College received move their campus

CIDA at risk: Tory govt. plans cuts in foreign aid by Andrew speciul to

CIDA’s budget that they receive, the second highest international NGO budget in the world after Switzerland. The “McDougall manifesto”
Imprint
In a pre-election furore, Barbara McDougall, the Minister of External Affairs in Ottawa, has initiated a proposal that will radically change the nature and structure of Canada’s foreign aid program. The “McDougall manifesto” would replace the 1967 aid policy, a unique document that was based on extensive public consultation and represented a broad consensus on the goals of foreign aid. The proposal calls for: - Canadian InternaThe author helps local Malians with watermelon tional Develoament Agency (CIDA’) to dissolve as an would of course alter this, seriously autonomous entity, and for it beaffecting the survival of many of come a subsidiary of External Afthese international NGOs.

informed of international issues from a broad perspective than what our media and mainstream education systems tell us. The Global Community Centre in Waterloo is an example of a local organization with this ambition, and the Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC) in Ottawa on a national level. Both organizations are funded partially by CIDA. They publish materials, hold workshops, and have set up resource libraries for public use. See an insert called “Shock of the Posharvest. sible” in the K-W Record (Mon., Feb. 1) for an example of the sort of material they publish. The work of international NGOs benefits Canada tremendously in a world of increasing internationalization, and in a time when the global environment is everybody’s concern. No longer can any country afford to be isolationist about pressing global issues such as environmentaldegradation, food shortages, medical epidemics, and war in other countries. There are possibilities for Canadians toleamnew and important skills in languages, basic technology, and organization of cooperatives to name a few. There are many university students who volunteer with international aid organizations, and have been able to learn new skills that are not possible to gain in their educational institutions in Canada. Also, there are many people from Third World countries sponsored by CIDA studying at our universities and making tremendous contributions to the academic community. All of the NGOs which receive funding from CIDA are completely accountable to the board of directors of CIDA, and therefore are accountable to the general public of Canada indirectly. Also, many of these organizations operate under democratic principals, often working under a consensus decision making model. It appears that the “McDougall manifesto” is going to be rushed through cabinet without a valid public consultation. This is espccially frightening considering the record of the present P.C. govern-
ment. It is important that everybody concerned with this issue be heard, either to demand a proper process of debate to scrutinize the document, or to reject it altogether. The best way to be heard at this point in time is to write a letter to the following people, and indicate your feelings about the proposal for a new policy on Canada’s foreign aid program. Please write to the following people how you feel about the policy, and what you would recommend to do with it. No stamp is necessary for the following addresses: - Hon.

How best to measure insurance risk is the theme of a new book by two University of Waterloo faculty members. Profs Harry Panjer and Gordon Willmot focus on new methods and techniques to quantify insurance risks in their book, called Insurance Risk Models. The are members of the department of statistics and actuarial science in the facu Yty of mathematics. The book examines mathematical modelling of the frequency and severity of insurance losses and the resulting total losses for a block of Lnsurance business. As well, it offers many numerical illustrations and examples. Chiefly intended for technical audiences in all areas of insurance practice, the book can also be used in the classroom.

After 10 years of studying the state of happiness, University of Guelph philosopher and social scientist Alex Michalos concludes that people measure happiness in one of ho*ways: by the goals they achieve or by comparisons with others. “There are a lot of similarities the world over,” says Michalos, who surveyed more than 18,OO university students in 39 countries. “On average, men and women achieve most happiness from family relations and livinipartners and the least amount of satisfaction from their finances and transportation.” There are, however, gender differences. For most areas of their lives, women generally have higher satisfaction than men. Whereas women tend to derive happiness from achieving goals, menare morelikely to derive it from social comparisons. “Women are more internally driven,” says Michalos. “Men are more socialized to be competitive and compare themselves.” But when he got deeper into the analysis - to determine the most
influential barrier - he found that “social comparison was the main factor that drives goal achievement.” Of the countries surveyed, Canadaplacedinthe top30percent in terms of life satisfaction, Top countries included Bahrain, Finlanh and the Netherlands; at the bottom were countries such as Cameroon, Turkey, Japan and Korea. Not surprisingly, Michalos found higher levels of satisfaction in developed countries than underdeveloped ones.
life as a whole. The first two volumes of the report, dealing with overall happiness and life satisfaction and interpersonal relationships, were published in 1991. The final two volumes, one on finances and employment and one on spiritual, e&c& tional and healthcrela ted issues, were published this month. For the study, Michalos used his multiple discrepancies theory, which maintains that people’s satisfaction is a function of seven perceived gaps. The two main gaps concern “what peopie have and what ihey think their neighbours have” and-“what they have and what they want,” he says. His theory enablid him to I..&cover “causal elements” relating to specific domains of life (such as job and marital satisfaction) and to satisfaction and happiness. The study also used a point system model that added up aspects of satisfaction in specific domains to determine overall life satisfaction.

from page 3 “if this policy is maintained, every small department has had the biscuit.” Dr. Greg Michalenko of Environmental Studies said: “We’ve sequestered ourselves. There are artificial separations between sciences and the arts at this university.” Katie Cornell, the Vice-President of the Dance Students Association, called upon Dance students to hold up the 1,500 signatures they had accumulated on their petition to save their department. She also asked those students who had been accepted to the National Ballet School or involved with the Dept.affiliated Carousel Dance Centre to stand. Cornell, like several other Dance students who spoke against closing their program, was overcome by tears during her speech. Before sitting down again, she stated: “As dancers we are survivors and no matter what, we will end up on top.” Kirsten Opolko, the President of the Dance Students’ Association, told the gathering that with the loss of the Dance Dept., the entirenation will lose high school dance instructars with knowledge of anatomy. Another Dance student elaborated on Opolko’s point: “We’re looking at students who could face serious injuries...It’s not just a unique program--it’s the only one.” During his introductory speech, Norman referred to the uniqueness of the program and joked: “I’ve had more than one or two letters come in and explain that
to me.” But he also added that the other departments in AHS are “all unique” as well. Norman summed up the decision to be made as a choice between losing one department or watching an entire faculty go downhill. Others at the meeting perceived the issue on a different scale. Norman prefaced his motion by responding to charges that because the Dance Dept. faculty member are female, and the student body is completely female except for one male, closing the Dept. down is a women’s issue. He called the allegation “not true” and said “that repulses me.” However, Michalenko said it was a women’s issue. Also, another professor viewed the matter as “a philosophical and academic decision” rather than a financial one, and added: “I’m really troubled by this”. Part of the discussion was devoted to numbers. Norman’s speech explained that the university was required to cut back its spending by about six per cent, which translates into $12 million. He went on to show that AHS did not receive the one per cent expected increase in funding last year, and instead was surprised to beinformedbythegovemmentthat theyhadtocutbackspendingby1.5 per cent. The funds that were cut from the ‘92-93 budget, the salary of Dance prof Barbara Soren, who left last spring, has already been returned to central administration.

“That money is gone,” said Norman. Meanwhile, Norman illustrated on an overhead projector that the benefits to AI-IS, if Dance were to go, totalled $215,000. Kinesiology prof Dave Winter compared this $215,000 gain with the $180,000 worth of Dance students’ tuition that would be lost. A Dance student added that the revenue from the Carousel Dance Centre would also be lost, and, as Opolko told the gathering, the number of children enrolled in classes with Carousel is over 200. Norman told those at the meeting: “I compliment you on the quality of the lobby.” However, he also stated that he hopes the lobby hasn’t damaged theenrollment for thenext year already, since now parents know the Dance dept. is financially unstable. Supporters of the dance department are more optimistic about the outcome of the Senate meeting, although Norman cautioned: “We can’t absolve our responsibility by dumping it on the Senate.” Those working to preserve the program are actively soliciting sources of outside funding such as provincial and corporate sponsorship. In an interview, Priddle called the present crisis surrounding the department “quite crazy...We are in a very strange position...This small faculty is being burdened in an extraordinary way...1 guess we had some confidence it wouldn’t come to this.”

Pugwash presents virtual reality by john specid
Straube to Imprint
und
Stefun
Morin
Waterloo Student Pugwash is organising a conference on virtual reality (VR) at McMaster University in Hamilton from February 12 to 14,1993. This weekend promises activities that will be both educational and enjoyable. The club invites anyone interested to contact Daryl Bender at 885-0838 or to come to the next meeting, Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in Campus Centre 110. Virtual reality uses computer technology to interface with the human senses and produce a projection of imaginary environments.Thesevirtualrealitiesmav range from fl+ ing down the streets of a foreign city, to a trip through a fantasy land complete with beautiful damsels in distress and firebreathing dragons. This emerging technology has huge ramifications for humanity in the future. Virtual reality represents a quantum leap in the two fields of communication and simulation. While still in the very beginning stages of development, progress has been spectacular and more uses are being envisioned each day. From your living room in Waterloo you could meet a friend from Vancouver for a cappuchino in a piazza in Ravenna. Not only would your friend appear to be incredibly real, all the sights, sounds, and even smells and tastes would be computer generated to match the real thing. Or, you might walk through the skyscraper you’ve designed, observing the light intensity, the acoustics, and
the layout and step outside at the 30th floor to inspect a window or the view from across the nearest residential neighbourhood. The worker of the future might return home and connect himself to a computergenerated fantasy world, ignoring real people, feelings, culture, politics, and problems. The power to inform and to present experiences will be magnified enormously to make the influence of present mass media (such as TV) appear ineffective and archaic to the advertisers, propagandists, and politicians of the future. The McMaster conference will discuss these and other issues in four workshops on VR and its possible influence on society. The workshops are entitled: IndusApplications and Impications, Isolation Communicatron, ACyborginYour Future, and Infotaining Our Children. As with most technology, the implications of a new technology are often lost in the rush to seize the benefits and rewards. Virtual reality will likely be developed regardless of its pros and cons; the potential of virtual reality is too great to ignore. However, by considered the effects on other technology, and especially the effect on humanity and its culture, potential problems can hopefully be avoided or minimised. It is within this framework that Pugwash was created. Pugwash, a student club dedicated to the discussion and exploration of ethical and social issues relating to science and techno3ogy, has meetings every Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in CCllO.

Physics dept. mourns death of Professor R. Dagg by lsabelle Schade Imprint stufl
Professor Dr. Ralph Dagg, the chairman of the physics department, died suddenly on the evening of January 29. He had just finished a tennis game at the Waterloo Tennis Club and apparently just collapsed while walking off the court. Dagg was one of the earliest facultymembers, and had been chairman the past four and a half years. He was 64 years of age. “All the students were totally shocked,” said Alexandra Zivkovic, one of Prof. Dagg’s Physics 122 students. “It was very strange when the replacement Professor told us the sad news on Monday - he still taught us last Friday and he
looked so fit.” Indeed many physics students are saddened by the loss of their professor. “He was very approachable,” said Zivkovic. “It’s just so shocking.” Dagg was currently working on a xesearch project using ‘electric field induced absorption in gases at normal pressures, using Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy’ together with Professors Anderson and &math. Professor Dagg was survived by his wife Dr. Anne Dagg (Independent Studies), and three children Hugh, Ian and Mary. The cremation took place at Parkview Crematorium. A memorial service will be planned for later on this term. Memorial donations may be made to Amnesty International.

Writers in the popular media have been sounding the death knell of student radicalism for years now. If some of them are to be believed, the popularity of activism and concern for social issues has been on a downward spiral since 1969, Most recently, the generation of people currently in their 20s -- labelled Generation X -- has been criticized by pony-tailed fortysomethings for its growing conservatism. (“Back in my day, we used to conduct sit-ins in the university president’s office.“) Members of Generation X often respond that pragmatism, self-interest, and even greed are all values taught us by the previous generation (“You created this world and its rules. Now you expect us not to play by them to survive.” This debate reflects squarely on the recent swing away from provincial and national student groups. Last winter, UW students voted to pull out of the Ontario Federation of Students, albeit only by a couple of percentage points. Next week, they will vote on UW’s membership in the Canadian Federation of Students. Rightly or wrongly, many students perceive CFS as being an organization that allows ideology to interfere with pragmatism. For many students, CFS’ zero tuition fee policy is nothing more than a lightning rod for their backlash against the politicization of student lobbying groups. That was the sentiment expressed last winter and it is welling again this year. Some campaigners for both sides of the referendum have tried to turn the debate into a value-for-money question, again a symbol of the loss of idealism. Are UW students each getting $2 of “value” from CFS membership? Is the student body as a whole getting $60,000 of ‘Value” from CFS membership? This approach ignores the ultimate purpose of the CFS. The CFS is, at its heart, a political organization. Its first and most important mission is to lobby the federal and provincial governments on matters of public policy that affect Canadian post-secondary students, usually issues of funding and tuition fees. Conducting research and providing sewices are appreciated perks, but are peripheral to that central task. No one will argue that the CFS does not meet that mandate. What is debatable is what priority the CFS assigns it and whether its lobbying could be more effective. The CFS claims to be a democratically run organization. At the same time, student leaders from CFS-member universities have written letters to this newspaper saying that UW’s involvement with the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance should be put to a referendum, the ultimate democratic expression of one vote for every
CFS flabbergasts To

editor,
As a third year student at the University of Waterloo, I have witnessed a deterioration in the quality of education I am receiving. Students need a strong vocal group who will represent their educational concerns. Until now UW students have depended on the Canadian Federation of Students to express the concerns of the student voice, but CFS has let us down. How can CFS realistically promise a 0% tuition increase to students in today’s society? They have done little to keep our costs of tuition down in the past and will do little to keep our costs down in the future. What substantial proposals has CFS made to improve the quality of our education? Recently I attended a CFS conference and I was exposed to CFS and its policies. I was disappointed and flabbergasted to discover that CFS has no desire to listen to W’s ideas on improving the quality of education. A year ago I wondered exactly who CFS was. Today I know who they are, and I pose these questions to my fellow students: Why should we remain with an alliance that will not allow its present mandate to be flexible, and who won’t allow new ideas to be heard at a CFS conference. Why should we remain with this group that attempts to stifle the student voice? @et McCausland 3A English Literature

Indeed, in the “Yes” side’s own campaign material, they laud the fact that CFS asks every student in a prospective member institution whether or not they want to become members. Yet, with the CFS’ voting policy (Waterloo’s 15,000 undergrads get the same vote as a school with I.000 students), the opinions of students at larger schools are minimized. CFS would like UW students to believe that their individual vote and opinion are important, but their own policies belie that fact.
With so much recent debate in the Imprint, and since much credit and/or blame have been attributed to the UW Feds, I would like to add my own perspective on CFS. The Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) is an organization with fundamental problems. Financial instability and a lack of planning have resulted in an estimated $83,000 loss for CFS and a further $281,ooO loss for CFS-Services last year alone. They cannot devote adequate resources to development of new or existing services Education issues have not been demon-

strated to be their main priority. In fact, a motion to devote a minimum of 50% of its resources to core educational issues was defeated! CFS spends valuable time at general meetings discussing policy related to events in Guatemala, El Salvador and Burma. CFS is organized to favour small institutions. UW with 15,000 students pays $60,000 per year to CFS and receives 1 vote at meetings. UPEI grads are so small that they pay only $120 but have the same 1 vote. To their credit, the services offered can be very valuable to small schools. However, larger institutions, including UW, can provide the same or better services for themselves at a lower cost and with greater efficiency. Both internally and externally, there is conflict and a lack of support for CFS. At the November general meeting, 3 of the 14 National Executive members resigned. Western, U of T, Queens, UBC, Uof Alberta, U of Calgary and many others are not members. UW and seven other schools are reconsidering their memberships. Student’s Council sent nine members to the November General Meeting to gain insight into CFS and to try to make improvements. All of them came back discouraged and disappointed. Student’s Council voted unanimously to support the No campaign. Take time to read the literature, attend the forums, and make an informed decision on February 9 and 10. Dave

charter flights (the only way to fly), and this great deal where you can get open-ended returns for less than the cheap prices of the more commercial lines One catch: you have to go to a school that belongs to CFS. Wherever I go, I always ask for the student rate, and usually there is one. But usually they’ll only give it to you if you can prove you’re a student. For Canadians this means havinganlntemationalStudent Identity Card. These cards are free if you go to a school that belongs to CFS; otherwise, they are big bucks. I’ve also met Canadians working great jobs in other countries, legally. Either they have dual citizenship, or they signed up for SWAP - (that’s the Student Work Abroad Program for you homebound travel virgins). SWAP gets you working visas and directs you to legit jobs. Now, I can’t say much more as I haven’t tried this - yet. SWAP is available to students who go to schools that belong to CFS. Anyone notice a theme? Starting to understand that I’m not completely altruistic? I don’t know, and I don’t really care to know, about the poIitics in CFS. Wherever I go, I prefer to talk with people and learn about their experience rather than listen to politicians drone on. What I do know is that, if we vote our way out of CFS, you and I are going to lose a lot of cheap travel. I put $2 into CFS every term I register, and I can travel much longer and much cheaper because of this $2. Don’t the rest of you want to travel? on

Further
to Dave Drewe’s letter in Janu“Understanding Student Politics,” I wish to provide some of my own input. I too was one of the students representing UW at the CFS national conference in November, and I too have found the letters to Imprint from CFS insiders and sympathizers to be deceptive and sometimes even false. Regrettably, this seems to be serving its purpose and stirring dissent from within (cf. “OUSA misrepresentation,” same issue of Imprint), despite its invalidity. One would think that a national student organization would represent schools fairly, offering those that have more students, and thus pay larger fees, a stronger vote than smaller schools or colleges. That’s the way the UW Students’ Council is organized: arts has six representatives; math and engineering have five each, etc. And it’s the way our federal and provincial governments work. However, that’s not the way CFS works. UW, a school of 15,000 undergraduates, which pays $60,000 per year of your money to CFS, gets the same number of votes as a graduate school in the eastern provinces that has 30 students and pays $120 annually. This is like Toronto having the same vote in parliament as Fergus. Does that sound like an organization that is able to represent your needs fairly? We didn’t think so, so we proposed a change, but it was defeated without a second thought. Your Federation executive has been accused of not representing UW students with respect to CFS and OUSA. Much like CFS itself, this accusation is ludicrous; the executive, which you elected, so they represent you, has kept students’ council representatives, which you also elected, constantly upto-date on its progress and has succ:eeded in obtaining council’s prior approval on all of its activities. If this is not representative of the students, I don’t know what is. Contrary to Tammy Speers’ comments in her referendum campaign interview (same issue of Imprint), UW most certainly was explicitly denied its vote during an Ontario membership meeting at the CFS conference. Nobody has his or her facts wrong. I was there! Income-contingent loan repayment was one of the main points of the election platforms of the current executive, elected by majority a year ago. It has been one of the founding principles behind OUSA, which has, as Mr. Drewe mentioned, received extensive support from governmental authorities. After asking questions of your federation executive about the proposal, I find it to be an attractive and workable solution to the accessibility problem. Even its name is attractive. However, CFS and OFS don’t like it, so the word evil began popping up, despite a complete lack of knowledge of what OUSA is all about, When your representatives attempted to get CFS to remove its policy against income-contingent loan repayment plans, the motion was defeated because “we already have a policy against this on our books, so we should vote against it.” Is this a flexible organization which is willing to consider any practical options? Do they really think the government will say “sure” to 0% tuition and a 3% corporate tax to pay for it? CFS’s notion of reality is skewed at best. Now, who’s not representing their constituents? This is disgraceful! CFS decided to make political statements about things going on all over the world, like the Gulf War, abuse of civilians in Burma,and so on. Why do these political stands exist as policies? Aren’t educational issues important to CFS anymore? Shouldn’t a political lobby organization be neutral to be effective? One must consider which is better: relying on our own voice nationally, which has proven effective in many other cases, or associating our name with an organization that is not respected? Overall, the CFS conference was farcial and frustrating. There was so little cooperation and respect between schools that the bulk of some sessions was spent debating Robert’s Rules OfOrder. I was almost angry that my time had been wasted in this manner. None of the things your delegates suggested were taken seriously or considered by the majority of CFS’s membership. Some parts of the conference were so aggravating that two provincial representatives and the entire naary 29th’~ Imprint,
tional graduate council resigned that weekend. It’s not surprising that so many other schools are going to referendum for withdrawal from CFS this year. I encourage all of you to investigate the two sides of the campaign, Watch for forum announcements and ask questions Find out more about the Canadian Federation of Students. You will determine the best way for UW’s Federation of Students to spend your money. Make that decision an educated one. Murruy Kuchemwy 3B muthemuticskomputer

“Allocation” cash grab To
the
=
editor,
Allocation! Is this the new politically correct term for fee increase? Are we seeing a trend with the upcoming Fed referendum on CFS? A year ago students voted not to belong to OFS. Usually when someone quits being a member of something, they cease to pay fees. Yet the Federation continued to collect the fees so they could be “allocated” to something later. Now students are asked to vote on CFS membership. The discussions will, of course, focus on the validity of being a member. If the vote is no, the Feds appear willing to “allocate” future fea again There will be no discussion because there must first be a vote on CFS. Yet if students vote against CFS, the fees will be “allocated” before we even read about the results. If the Feds need more money, why not just ask openly? Justify and present a case for an increase. Students are not unreasonable. This all becomes academic again by holding a referendum with elections. Once again the issue will belong to the previous administration who, of course, will not be in office. Bruce Rorrison 4th year uHs

unrealized solely because of economic barriers, barriers seemingly supported by the OUSA proposal? The OUSA proposal is based on implementing income contingency loans; at a recent CFS conference, 96% of the delegates were opposed to income contingency loans. CFS membership currently msts students $2 per academic term. In return, students are ensured effective student directed lobbying, democratic representation and a multitude of tangible services. Delegates toCFSareelected student representatives and/or their designates. These delegates completely determine the operating budget, the content of educational campaigns, and direct lobbying initiatives. Consistently, no money is spent on noneducational issues. Policies such as working towards zero tuition are on the books because our elected student representatives have chosen continually to support this as an ideal. Consistent philosphy directed by reachable goals is an indicator than an organization cares enough both to think and to act. Zero tuition is a working reality in Britain, Sweden, and Germany, to name a few. Currently our elected student representatives have directed our successfullobby movements to ensuring universities maintain economic accessibility; CFS lobbying managed to remove GST from tuition and residence fees. This translates into a real and immediate saving for students; this is important to me. CFS is actively fighting against removinginterest-freeperiodsforOSAPloans.Many students have troublefindingenough finances to cover tuition, rent and food? How many more students will we lose because they cannot scrape together OSAP interest payments wile attending school? As I understand it, CFS has saved students significant money - dollars that can now go to participating in such projects as endowment funds, if individual students so choose. CFS has been and continues to be dedicated to universities being accessible. CFS is one of the only control mechanisms Canadian students have to keep universities an option for all people. If you care at all about the students coming after us, a responsible vote in the upcoming referendum would be YES to CFS. R. Duvid Economics

Give Feds freedom to choose other methods
editor,
I am increasingly troubled by a seeming trend amongst my peers (undergraduate students) of treating university education as a commodity whose value-for-the-dollar is determined by an elitist and simplisticnotion of consumerism. Rather than reasoning through the strengths and weaknesses of the economic policies which shape our universities, students are subscribing to quick-fix short-term answers implemented with virtually no control mechanisms. These set in place not only substantive but categorically dangerous prcedents. An example of immediate concern to the UW community is the undergraduate referendum on the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) membership and the recent emergence of the OUSA proposal. The OUSA proposal was originally support&l by six university student unions; it now has the support of four and the PC party. The proposal advocates increasing tuition by 30%, in order to match a hoped for increase by federal government (the private sector will be approached to contribute 12.5% of the total increase). This would supposedly serve as a shot in the arm, spiralling our universities to the level of funding they so richly deserve. Interest free status for OSAP loans would also cease to exist, a further financial burden for the individual student. The OUSA proposal is at best naive. This type of sudden funding increase will not make our universities more accessible, more progressive or more comprehensive. Increased tuition and loan payments while in school are barriers to access. Our universities will become even more elitist and inaccessible. Beyond this, we will have set a precedent of students matching government funding. No matter how much time and energy is put into encouraging all people to feel university is an option for them, if the OUSA proposal is implemented, most people will not be able financially to consider this option. Economic stratification is a reality in Canada. How much potential is being

An open letter to UW studentes: As you prepare to cast your ballot in the CFS referendum, you must tealize that membership in CFS is not the only means to affect post-secondary education at the federal level. For example, University of Alberta students, who are not members of CFS, had a direct impact intochangingthefederalbudget last year. Our November, 1992 meeting with the Edmonton Caucus of MP’s was largely responsible for increasing the monthly education tax credit from $60 to $80. This increase translates into an annual out-of-pocket savings of $40 per student for every student in the country! This change saved Canadian students over twenty million dollars. In addition, we are currently working with the nation’s largest schools to develop a national buying consortium to save all our associations and their students more money. f raise these points not to brag, but to demonstrate that while an Ottawa office and a paid staff are helpful, they are not essential to improving the state of post-secondary education for students in Canada. The Waterloo Feds have already demonstrated their willingness to approach educational issues responsibly. In this referendum, consider giving the Feds the freedom to choose other sucessful lobby methods on the national level. Good luck witi your decision. Rudy

UW Prof triumphant in WLU religion debate by Michuel special to
H. CIifion Imprint
Sig wide questions, with gaping holes where answers ought to be. That’s what we usually end up with at a religious debate. Last Monday night, Wilfrid Laurier Student Union’s Turret hosted just such an event sponsored by the Laurier Christian Fellowship: “It’s my choice, or is it?” a debate about whether religion as a basis for morality makes sense, featuring Ontario Bible College profesc sor John Franklin, and UW’s own ethics guru, Jan Narveson from the philosophy department. “It’s my choice . . .” opened a week-long extravaganza of spiritual questing under the general title, “Whatever Happened to God?” Focusing on the concerns of a new generation of Christians, the whole program also involved special presentations by WLU faculty members professing their “faith and works,” three talks by keynote speaker, Al McBryan from the University of Alberta and Edmonton’s Youth with a Mission, and, tonight, it ends with the movie Flatliners and an open discussion. The debate on Monday night brought out a substantial crowd from both universities. UW’s showing consisted mainly of philosophy graduate students out to listen to, or to support, Professor Narveson, who is well known throughout Canada and the United States for his defense of Libertarian views, and his extensive knowledge of ethical theeries and issues. A debate involving Narveson is often a touch feisty, and always a great deal interesting. On the latter point, we were not at all let down; as for the former, Narveson was (surprisingly?) relaxed and non-tendentious throughout, even in the one-on-one question period that followed. Perhaps it was the calmness of someone who knows he is right. Narveson’s opponent, ethics and philosophy of religion professor John Franklin from Ontario Bible College, also behaved himself with the decorum generally attributed to
professional scholars, and though he failed to present convincing arguments to support his point of view, Franklin proved that he was well-versed in much of the traditional literature of his field. Franklin’s central thesis seems to have been the claim that without God - a “personal component” - at the centre of the universe, morality just ceases to make sense. In his defense he presented various quotations by philosophers or literary figures (centrally, Dostoevsky) who were apparently in agreement with his view. Without an anchoring God-figure at the centre of our moral reasoning, moral direction becomes either a matter of choice, or we flounder aimlessly on a sea of contradiction, confusion, and unsettlement. “If the universe is an accident, why ask about morality? We would just be cogs in a cosmic wheel.” Expanding the scope of his presentation, Franklin, who later admitted that he was illprepared and had expected an adequate direction for his discourse to come to him “by osmosis,” related some modern views about morality which show that our loss of a religious culture has cast us adrift on a raging river of moral relativism. Freedom, he said, has come to mean ‘, the capacity to do what we wish.” Rather, it ought to be thought of as “the ability to become who we should.” It’s uncertain whether Franklin delivered anything substantial in terms of the topic of the debate. The issue was, “is it sensible to have religion as the basis of morality?‘, Franklin’s answer was, “yes.” That‘s it. The argument that without a personal God-figure -- strictly of the Christian design-at the heart of the universe we could not have a moral grounding was entirely undefended apart from appeals to authority (some of them not very authoritative). Unfortunately, Franklin’s rebuttal to Narveson’s rather more lucid and logical ideas was simply a reiteration of his main points. It’s possible he just didn’t understand Narveson’s contentions.
Narveson began with a humorous rejection of “blind faith,” using a short piece written by Woody Allen in which Abraham deals with the rather awkward and worrisomecommandment to sacrifice his son Isaac. A question-period comment that there was something awkward and worrisome about citing Woody Allen in a discussion about morality was quickly and pointedly identified by Narveson as an ad hominm, “and not a very good one.” What Narveson argued was a strong two-pointer: (1) “God is good,’ and (2) we do not live in a monofideistic world. The first argument simply means that if we believe, as we should, that “God is good’, then what are we saying if we do not have some conception of what “good” means independent of our conception of God? We know God is good because (a) we know God, and (b) we know what “good,, means. It leads, quite naturally, to the idea that religion cannot, therefore, be the basis of our morality, but is confirmed, or even, in part at least, produced by it: we are attracted to a belief in that God whose actions and character agree with what we understand “good” to be. One does not have to agree with Narveson’s theology to comprehend the good sense there is in this report. One simply has to acknowledge that logically, if not, say, temporally (I suppose this term must be said to be being used in a metaphorical sense in relation to an eternal being), good is prior to God. Iri other, somewhat tendentious terms, perhaps, we could say that God is God because he adheres to that which is good: that being good is integral to the process of becoming God. (Note, however, this is not how Narveson put it, nor, likely, how he would put it.) Point two, above, is also not given in Narveson’s terms. What he said was that the second problem with positing religion as a basis for morality is “the existence of others.” Narveson asked, “Can we reasonably expect somebody to act on beliefs we know that person doesn’t have?” The question is one that the whole week’s program has reaIly left un-addressed.
Narveson’s concern, which he presented with the passion of a true believer, was that any religion -- especially those of the JudaeoChristian-Muslim persuasion - will put it’s God forward as the source of true morality, and,bythesameclaim,justifytheutterdemolition of the lives and societies of those who do not believe them. Citing the thirty-years war, the Old Testament escapades of Jews and Philistines, among others, Narveson’s argument was pretty much undefeatable. Morality, Narveson suggested, needs to consist of universally agreed upon principles or rules. Following his arguments he explained his own, secular reasoning for a universal moral theory based on human beings’ natural, and rather universal self-interest (simplistically: I don’t want to be killed; you don’t want to be killed; they don’t want to be killed; wouldn’t we all live more comfortably with a general rule against killing?). Rebutting the contention that self-interest is an inadequate or degrading basis for morality, Narveson related his parents’ teachings when he was young, that the reason for being good, for going to church, for believing in God, was (not altruism, but) in order to get a place in heaven. “It’s odd,” he said, “for religious people to deny that religion is based on self-interest. Are they not seeking the eternal reward for themselves?” Al McBryan, whose addresses on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday haye been the focus of this week’s events, also took a stab at Narveson after the debate. His arguments were pretty much the same as Franklin’s, and equally as unfounded, although McBryan had an even harder time of it, falling into a couple of logical inconsistencies that Narveson easily identified. Presumably, McBryan has fared better at this week’s other presentations, where he would have been on his own ground, discussing the life of faith, rather than untenable philosophical tenets not integral to such a life. Your last chance to talk with him about the questions of eternity is tonight, at lE1, WLU, 7 p.m. At the very least you’ll get a free showing of Flatliners,

The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance is an organization with a democratic structure where Wa terloo students know their voice will be heard. In fact, the Waterloo Federation of Students played a significant role in shaping the structure of the new alliance. YourvoiceisheardatiwolevelsinOUSA through the Steering Committee and the Student Assembly. The Steering Committee consists of the elected student Presidents from each member university and meets monthly to determine the priorities and plans of OUSA during the year. The Chair rotates among the member schools and is responsible for coordinating the agenda and administrative requirements of the meeting. This Committee works on a consensus basis when possible, voting only when required. The Student Assembly, which normally meets once each term consists of delegates from all member institutions. These delegations must be representatives elected by the Student Council. The size of each school’s delegation is determined by their population with all schools having at least one vote. The role of the Student Assembly is to debate and approve the direction, priorities and policies set forward by the Steering Committee. Each member institution’s Student Council is given the opportunity to consider a policy, after which it is presented to OUSA, TheStudentAssemblythenconsiderswhether to adopt the position as OUSA policy. As a safeguard from large schools dominating the Assembly,
policies
must
be approved
by both
two-thirds of the Assembly and two-thirds of the individual schools. This voting system ensures that only issues with a broad base of support will be acted upon by OUSA.
The are many advantages for Waterloo students with the two level SteeringCommittee/Student Assembly structure. The direction and influence in the organization stays with the member institutions instead of relinquishing control to an ex temal executive. The weighted voting gives Waterloo a voice proportional to its size and an opportunity for effective representation. The decentralized nature of OUSA substantially reduces its bureaucracy and, in turn, its costs. OUSA has a central coordinating office in Toronto which is under the control of the Steering Committee. The coordinating office carries out the daily administrative operations of OUSA. This structure requires much greater involvement from each member institution which makes it extremely responsive to your influence. So where do we go from here? OUSA is continuing to lobby for accessibility, accountability, and partnership funding at the provincial level. Recently OUSA had a meeting with Liberal Opposition Leader LynnMcLeod and received an encouraging response and the promise of further meetings. The new Education superministry, created by the Premier this past week, opens new avenues for OUSA to lobby on educational issues. OUSA has already begun arrangements to meet with Dave Cooke, the new Minister responsible for Education, to discuss student aid, funding and outreach to high schools. OUSA’s pragmatic approach to help solve the problems facing our universities has given the organization respect and influence among government, administratorsand business alike. With continued support, OUSA will be a valuable and effective voice for studet1ts irl chtariu. Glen Rutlund is chair of the Federation Students’ internal liaisan hard.

OUSA’s deep, dank secrets revealed by
the
CFS-YES
Committee
On February 9 and 10, UW students are being asked to vote on whether or not they wish to remain members of Canadian Federation of Students. Contrary to the statements made by UW Federation of Students representa tives, this referendum is about the direction of post-secondary education in Canada. This referendum is fundamentally about a choice between the OUSA and the Canadian Federation of Students.
Debunking
OUSA’s claims
If you remember nothing else about this article, we hope you will remember three things: 1. OUSA wants to raise your tuition fees by 30 per cent. That adds up to a straight tuition fee increase of $3,270 notwithstanding cost of living or any other increase. 2. OUSA also wants to increase your student loan by $5,400. If the OUSA plan is ever implemented, it will terminate the interest free status on your student loan while you are in University. 3. OUSA does not believe in a National Grants program. Canada is currently the only leading industrialized nation without a National Grants program for post secondary students. Our provincial government has removed the few OSAP grants they offered, a step OUSA fully supports. The OUSA proposal tries to sell us these things in a package called Income Contingent LoanRepayment Plans (knownas ICRP’s) At first glance ICRl?‘s appears to be a more humane approach to financing education. The defining premise entails paying both interest and principle of your student loan through a line item on your income tax form. Sounds good, right? While ICRP’s are touted as a way of increasing accessibility, their leading advocates in government view them as nothing more than a politically expedient way to increase funding to education by increasing the financial demand placed on students. The plan entails dramatic increases in student loans. On top of the aforementioned end to interest free status while you attend school, the additional burden of increased tuition fees and an end to grant programs will drive up student debt. OUSA and ICRP allows government the opportunity to raise tuition fees even higher than OUSA proposes. The Globe and MaiT editorial of November 20,1992 stated that OUSA’s offer was a good beginning, but students should reallv invest in an “income contingent program. . .‘and let fees rise to cover the”ful1 cost of tuition”. This would be a 500 per cent increase in tuition fees, and would leave a student on full student aid with a $65,000+ debt when they graduate.
As such, the plan discriminates against those who traditionally do not make as much money upon leaving university. This includes women, visible minorities, disabled students, and graduates from certain academic programs. By making less money, they will pay back their loan over a longer period of time. They will pay more in interest and end paying more for the same education. The fact is that students already pay more than 60 per cent of the cost of their education. Those who support ICRP’s forget that the cost of a post secondary degree includes the day to day costs of living.
Why a naHonal student organization? OUSA claims it can represent your interests but they fail to recognize that the chronic underfunding of our institutions is the result of both provincial and federal cutbacks. Seventy-four per cent of all funding for post-secondary education comes from the Federal govemment. However, since 1985, the federal government has cut $4 billion in transfer payments for post-secondary education We must lobby at both the provincial and federal levels in order to address the deterioration of the post secondary system. CFS is the only national student organization in Canada.
What 450,000 students
say. . .
The Canadian Federation of Students believes that students already pay enough for their education and it is time for society and government to make post secondary education affordable and accessible for all qualified students. By the year 2000, Employment and Immigration Canada tracking data estimates that the number of jobs requiring 17 or more years of education will more than double from 23 per cent to 49 per cent. If higher education remains neglected we will fare poorly in an increasingly competitive world. We can’t afford to see academically bright students driven out of the system by higher tuition fees and dramatically increased student loans. Canada needs a national grants program. As Robert De Cotret, while Secretary of State responsible for post-secondary education stated at the National Education Association of Disabled Students general meeting, “for every $1.00 loaned to students it costs the Federal Government $1.25.” Considering the financiai concerns of today, the federal government should consider adequately funding students as nonnegotiable. And what better way than a national grants program which will encourage qualified students to enter the post-second-

ary system, and be given the opportunity to succeed on merit rather than their ability to Pay. We believe strongly that the burden for education should not fall on the shoulders of the individual - we shy away from calling students “consumers” - but should instead be shared by a society that sees the value, both economic and social, of higher education.
Is CFS Realistic? Is “volunteering” a 30 per cent increase in tuition fees a “reasonable bargaining position,” as OUSA claims? Our tuition fees have been raised by 21 per cent over the last three years, while funding levels have been frozen. OUSA’s position is neither “realistic” nor “representative”. After graduation, students will be expected to pay 80 per cent of the cost of postsecondary education. A disproportionate part of taxes, however, fall on those who can afford it the least. CFS solutions are based on an extensive overhaul of the federal taxation system. It consists of federal and provincial re-organization, including a re-structuring of the personal income tax to be more progressive. In order to make the system nationally accountable and reflective, CFS calls on the federal government to create a Secretary of State for Higher Education. As well, CFS wants a “Higher Education Act” that would, in co-operation with the provinces, ensure the portability and flexibility of post-secondary education.
So who agrees with us? Concerning funding, Ontarians agree with us. A Decima Research poll states that 67 per cent of “the public” disagrees with raising
student tuition fees as a way of increasing funding for post-secondary education. As well, faculty associations, support staff, womens’ groups, anti-poverty organizations, and many others agree with the policies and programmes of CFS. Our research is respected, accepted, and widely quoted. Our award-winning campaigns are sought after by an increasing number of outside organizations. We are consulted by major political leaders and political parties of all stripes. We are the only students that have seats on consultative government committees.
The choice is clear The prime objectives of CFS are to fight for the removal of social and economic barriers to post-secondary education. On February9 and IO, UW students have a choice to make. This choice is about political priorities, and about the future of youreducation. The first option is to align ourselves with those who believe that education is an individual responsibility, and that individuals should pay for these costs. In effect, to choose OUSA over CFS will alienate us from 450,000 students representing over half of the countries’ university students. The CFS believes that all sectors of society benefit from post-secondary education. Education should be a right: publicly funded, publicly accountable, and publicly accessible. CYS also stands for a united student voice. A forum through which students can lobby the federal and provincial gov&nments on issues of common concern. The choice is clear. For a democratic national student organization that represents the views of students, that provides us with a forum, and the common resources to find a solution, vote YES to CFS.

The Waterloo Warriors basketball team continued to improve their record, completing a quartet of consecutive victories. It was payback time for the Warriors on Wednesday evening at the PAC where, despite a less than outstanding performance, they defeated the Lanc-
ers 77-72, revenge for their previous loss earlier this season at Windsor. Last Saturday, before an enthusiastic home crowd, the Warriors crushed Western’s Purple Satan in a blazing display of basketball artistry. The Warriors came away with a solid 88-78 victory, leaving the Mustang’s Hardy Boys crying into their Ralph Lauren towels in a

York gained athlete of the week honours after scoring 16 points against Westem. He added 14 against the Lancers while playing all 40 minutes. In Wednesday night’s tilt, the Warriors showed fans once again that, just as the Warriors can use their abundant talent to play up to the level of a good team (ie. Brock), they can also do the reverse and let a bad team (ie. Windsor) dictate their level of play. Early in the first half, Waterloo posted a tenuous six-point lead, soon falling behind with a duet of treys from the Lancers. The Warriors lagged behind for the next four minutes missing easy drives and allowing three turnovers in a row. A three-point basket from B, J. York with nine minutes on the clock tied the score at 22 points. The score stayed neck in neck for the remainder of the half with Waterloo and Windsor trading the lead. After a tori tuous first half, which s#aw the Wa rriors missing opportun ities by the bushel, the score was tic !d at 38 poi nts each.

For a team that wants to be peaking at playoff time, the Waterloo Warrior hockey team sure is making it hard on themselves. Gaining only three of a possible four points last weekend, the team has set up Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Guelph Gryphons as their most important late-season game. The two teams tied in their mid-January meeting in Guelph. Waterloo travels to Windsor on Sunday, February 14 and finishes the regular season at home to the Western Mustangs on Friday, February 19. The playoffs begin the following week. The Warriors will head into Sunday’s match minus one goaltender. Back-up Shane Murphy
quit the squad last weekend after becoming discouraged about not getting enough playing time. This moves John Robertson up from the third spot. “John injured his shoulder during training camp and was out for five weeks,” head coach Don McKee said. “But he played well in exhibition before the injury and he’s coming along. He’s been a committed practice goalie and gets a lot out of working with Mike Bishop in practice.” Bishop is a former Waterloo great between the pipes, now an assistant coach with the team. Last Saturday, the Warriors blew a four-goal third-period lead to secure a B-6 tie at home to 1t-w McGill Redmen. The next day, they dominated another Montreal school, beating the Concordia Stingers 6-2.
The 13-5-O Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks pulled one point ahead of 11-5-3 Waterloo and three ahead of the 10-5-Z Western Mustangs into sole possession of second-place with two commanding wins over the same two Montreal teams, 6-3 over Concordia and 1l-2 over McGill. The Mustangs were idle last weekend. The 14-2-l Gryphons maintained first place in the OUAA West with a 5-2 over the York Yeomen and a 7-2 win over the Windsor Lancers. Laurier visited Guelph last night; results were not available at press time. The Warriors had their special teams in high gear last Saturday versus the Redmen, scoring four power-play goals and adding a short-handed marker to lead 5-1 at the second intermission.
But McGill soon found some offence in the final period, scoring three goals over a span of four minutes beforeJason Mervyn could put the home team up by two again. “James (Organ) made a couple of mistakes,” McKee said, “and we had a couple of turnovers in our own zone that we couldn’t afford.” After Marc Lustig scored his second goal of the game to pull McGill within one with 12155 gone in the frame, Danny Bain tied it up with only 1:49 to play. UW’s leading scorer Troy Stephens had two goals and two assists, while teammate Cory Keenan registered a goal and a pair of assists. Darren Snyder and JOIUI Wynne had the other Waterloo go,als. Other McGill goals came from Guy Boucher, David Vecchio,,and
Mark Shewfelt. Waterloo got an early lead and stayed ahead of Concordia on Sunday
afternoon,
winning
6-2 over
Concordia. “I felt that we adjusted well against Concordia on Sunday,” McKee said. “We kept the pressure on them and didn’t experience the same let-down as we did against McGill.” Barry Young scored twice, with other UW goals coming from Steve Schaefer, Dean MacDonald, Snyder, and Mervyn. Waterloo’s power play dominatedagain,nettingthreegoals. The team scored twice in each period. Richard Ayotte put the Stingers ahead 1-O early in the first and Derek Potts’ power-play marker eight minutes into the third completed Concordia’s scoring.

The Warriors gained a lead of 14 points at 65-51 with 11 minutes left in the half, but then were outscored 17-8 in a five minute Mustang scoring stampede. Waterloo hung onto their lead with the help of tight plays, good sideline coaching and treys from York and Urosevic. It was a tense moment in the PAC when the Mustangs pulled to within two points with a trey by the OUAA West’s leading scorer Michael Lynch with only 40 seconds left on the clock.

Black Plaguecrushes Windsor, clinches playoff spot by Rich imprint
Nichol sports
Remember back just a few years ago how the mighty Black Plague Waterloo Warriors volleyball team used to annihilate many of the weaker teams in the OUAA West division in less than an hour. Well, those days were almost revisited when the Black Plague travelled to Windsor to play the Lancers this past Wednesday night. In just 68 minutes, Waterloo swept the futile Bordertown crew in straight sets 15-9,15-B, and 15-l 1. The Warriors put on a clinic in the back row with superiority on defence throughout the quick killing. Offensively, the Black Plague took advantage of Windsor’s small setter, going over the top for the kill on dozens of occasions. Most importantly, Waterloo overcame its phobia of hitting the lo-point mark and then losing its lead and the game.
The Plague is now in top form and has the intensity and momentum for a run at a fourth national championship appearance in the last five years. Making thedominatingvictory even more remarkable was the fact that UW head coach Scott Shantz took the opportunity to rest up two of his ailing starters, offside hitter Jon Tenthorey and middle blocker Perry Strauss. The two sat back while the rest of the squad took t-urns firing at one of the division’s favoured victims. ActuaIly, Tenthorey’s absence probably lessened the blow for Windsor. He is currently first in West division scoringwith5.3points per game, and second in the province behind the York Yeomen’s Dexter Abrams (5.7 ppg). Waterloo setter Shawn Smith, who is virtualIy assured his second straight OUAA West first-team allstar selection, ran his patented deceptive offence. He co&ted seven
points which included five kills on three dumps and two swings. With Tenthorey out, Smith’s main feed was power howitzer Rene Holt who topped all scorers with 22 points on 17 kills, two aces, and two stuff blocks. Three other Warriors played well in front of their hometown fans. Sophomore offsidehitter &Eke Lardis registered 12 points in replacement for Tenthorey, while second-year setter Mike Service and freshman middle Rich Koomans had strong outings off the bench. Other Waterloo players in double digits were Pete Denison and Mike Fullerton with 12 and 10 points respectively. Denison led the team in digs with six. In other OUAA West action last week, the cellar-dwelling Guelph Gryphons nearly pulled off the upset of the year taking the firstplace McMaster Marauders to the limit before losing 3-2 (15-2, 9-15, 15-7,14-f6,18-16)rMeanwhiIe, in a
battle for fourth place the Western Mustangs defeated the Windsor Lancers 3-1 (15-13,12-15,15-13). The current division standings have M&aster on top with a 9-l win-loss record and the Warriors in second at 7-3. Laurier and Western are tied for third at 5-4, while Windsor (4-7) and Brock (3-6) have a slim chance at the fourth and fmal playoff spot. Guelph (l-9) is eliminated from post-season play. Unless a string of major upsets occur, the battle for second place and home court advantage for the division semi finals should come down to the last match of the regular season schedule between Waterloo and Western on Friday, Feb ruary 12 at 8 p.m. here at the PAC.

The prospects don’t look good for the Athena Volleyball team as they split their lastest matches to stand at 5-7 for the season. This will makeachievingaplayoff berthvery difficult in the hotly contested OWIAA West division. First off, the good news: the Athenas crushed their cross-town rivals in three straight games. Unfortunately, the bad news comes as a three-game loss to Windsor this past Wednesday. Last Friday night, the Athenas came out strong against the hapless Laurier Golden Hawks and thumped them in three games straight by scores of 15-8,156, and 17-15. Waterloo played well but, to be blunt, the Hawks pretty much stank, making a lot of stupid errors. In the first game, the Athenas showed that good defence leads to good offence in that you have the opportunity to set up plays such as a nice tandem to power hitter Sue Bylsma. This added to a lead which grew to 14-4. Laurier put on a bit of a push at the end to close it to 14-8, but on Waterloo’s third game service they got the point needed for victory. 1 The Athenas jumped to a 9-1 lead in the second game before the echo died from the opening whistle. This surge was partly powered by six serves by Bylsma. Mercifully, Waterloo finished off the game quickly, the last two points earned from two kills by Nicky Campbell, taking the game 15-5.

The Athena basketball team split a pair of games this week, upsetting the division-leading Western Mustangs 55-51 last Saturday, but losing to the Windsor Lancers 41-38 on Wednesday night. Thd Athenas came out strong from the start, surprising the Mustangs who, as of last week, were ranked number six in all of Canada. Leading 22-14 with ten minutes remai.&g in the first half, the Athenasattemptedand successfully held on to the lead entering the locker room at half time. With less than IO seconds remaining in the second quarter, the teams were tied. The Athenasconfidently ‘spun’ ‘the Mustangs into confusion, allowing Brenda Kraemer to score a last-second basket to put the Athenas ahead. Half-time score: Waterloo 29, Western 27. Throughout the second half, both teams remained even, although Waterloo did manage to retain a small lead throughout the remaining 20 minutes. Withabouttenminutestogoin the game, Waterloo led by only one point, 39-38. It was at this point that veteran sharpshooter Kathy Wordham drained the ball from three-point range. The Athenasnow
led by four points, and they held the Mustangs to within four points until the dying minutes of the game. With less than three minutes to go, it appeared that our golden girls were swimming in a sea of purple. Western’s relentless pressure resulted in two quick turnovers, allowing the evil purple squad to score four quick points. With less than a minute to go the Athenas were only leading by one small point. The score: Waterloo 52, Western 51. Suddenly, with no warning, it seemed some higher force realized who the good guys were, and Waterloo began to play as though they were possessed. Kim Stusyk flew out of nowhere and picked off a pass which could have resulted in a winning basket for Western. With less than five seconds on the shot clock and nine seconds on the game clock, Kathy Wordham found the ball in her hands. She had the one thing that everyone else on that court was dying to hold, and she did the only thing with that ball that she could think to do with it: she got rid of it. Well behind the three-point line, Wordham launched that ball towards the basket. The ball seemed to be in slow motion, just as in those

Election Fora abound at CC, CPH by Natalie Onuska Imprint staff
The 1993 U of W Federation of Students election campaign began on January 31st and will continue until election days, February 9th and 10th when students will be able to access voting polls. There are a total of thirteen candidates; five of whom are running for president, five others for vice-president of operations and finance (VPOF) and the remaining three for vice-president of university affairs (VPUA). The presidential candidates are: Catherine Coleman, Dietmar Kubasta, Kate Rushforth, Lisa Yeo and Gregory Zografos. The nominees for VPOF are Erick Homier, Rob McGeachy, Jimmy Rocchetta, Andrew Allan Ross and George Van Nooten. Those running for VPUA are Sharon Flood, Dave Kruis and Rick Kush. Two public forums were held by the Federation of Students election committee this past week, one in the Campus Centre on Monday, and the latter on yesterday at the Poet’s Pub in Carl Pollock Hall. These student organized conferences provided the inquiring minds of the U of W student body with the opportunity to bring questions of interest and concern for-

A series of subjects were presented by both students and nominees, of which, accountability was prioritized due to governmentcutbacks and U of W’s higher operating costs with the co-op program.

Common complaints among students include that of overcrowding in classes, out dated equipment and the phasing out of the dance department. Shared was the view that students should be able to access post secondary education without the hinderance of financial difficulties and the lack of adequate facilities for those who are physically
disabled. Financial distribution of student and institutional funds was therefore, of primary concern at the forum. The standard of safety, on and off campus, was reviewed as a crucial matter that urgently needs to be upgraded. Suggestions from candidates to improve the situation included educational programs, an increase in safety van services and/ or providing an alternative and accident prevention. Several candidates proposed that the visibility of Fed services and businesses will increase with the New Student Centre, further familiarizing students with an open door policy and allowing them to be able to readily voice their needs. CFS membership was in question with the approaching referendum and last ear’s withdrawal from OFS. And i Y the student body should decide to withdraw from CFS, where should the $2.00 from each student go? Improving student quality of life encompasses several aspects that were addressed including social and study services and the betterment of academia. The third and final forum will be held next week in the Math coffee lounge on Monday February 8th at 11:30a.m.
CFS 9 “YES” committee accuse CR0 of stalling, bias by Peter Imprint
Brown stuff
Accusations of stalling and bias have been levelled against the chief returning officer of the Canadian Federation of Students referendum, Andreas Kurvits, by the “Yes” committee and representatives of CFS. On Tuesday, Kurvits ordered Dave Kappele, a field worker with CFS on campus to assist the “Yes” side in the referendum, to leave the campus. Kappeie refused, saying that he has a legal right to assist in referenda because of CFS’ by-laws. “I am employed as a field worker for CFS, so I work for Waterloo students because Waterloo is a member,” Kappele said. He went on to say that it is his job to provide information about CFS to UW students. Kurvits cited the UW Federation of Students’ referendum policy (B.2.k), which states that “No paid employees of any outside organizations to the University of Waterloo mav come on camnus to assist with ‘campaigns, except elected student officials.” The provision that elected student officials ma assist in referenda means that CF B national chairperson Kelly Lamrock, currently on campus to assist “Yes”, is allowed to do so. Federation of Students vicepresident, university affairs Sue Crack said that the clause in question was written into referendum policy to prevent groups such as CFS from hiring professional lob-
byists pus.
to campaign
on Uw’s
cam-
“What’s the real difference between a field worker and an elected chair, in functional terms, in what they do?” asked Kappele. “I’m hired by the CFS executive, an elected body. Why can’t I participate?”
Kappele also questioned the Kurvits’ treatment of him in the Federation of Students office, campus centre 235.

Some of the things that I’ve been doing that he has called campaigning is talking privately to the “Yes” panel during the debate.” “I asked him nolitelv severa1 times to refrain horn h&ping the Yes campaign,” Kurvits said. According td Kirvits, Kappele attempted to assist the “Yes” committee members during a forum in the Campus Centre on Tuesday. “The rules that I am following are the ones that were given to me when I took on the job of CRO,” Kurvits told Imprint. “Dave Kappele is a paid employee of CFS
and he is not an elected official.” “Twice I have verbally explained my decision to Mr. Cappel (sic.) when he was undertaking what appeared to me to be assisting with the campaign, namely speaking privately to the “YES” panel during a forum and being consulted regarding a handout durin (Wednesday) morning’s meeting, 5’ Kurvits wrote in a February 3 memo to “Yes” chair Tammy Speers. Kappele and Lamrock argue

And yet, a paid employee of CFS, who doesn’t happen to be elected, is not allowed to campaign. ” “The UVV Feds sent CFS a copy of this referendum policy last August,” Crack said. “No complaints were made until now.” Marcella Munroe, vicechairpersonof the Ontario Federation of Students, said that CFS assumed that it was not an outside organization. She said that she did not know that Kappele would not be allowed on campus until she arrived last Monday, February 1. Kappele also accused Kurvits and the “No” committee of deliberatelv stalling “Yes”‘s efforts to publish ‘posterswand pamphlets on campus due to quibbling about c content: “We’ve been denied the right, in essence, to put posters out on campus until tomorrow (Thursday, February 4),” Kappele said. “We’re now on the fifth day of the campaign.” Kappele accused Kurvits of siding with the “No” side on almost every appeal.

Crack and Forrest had reached ar; a reement last Friday (January 29) aBtemoonabout changes that would be made to ‘Yes” campaign material by Monday morning, according to Crack. When the “Yes” representatives returned Monday, they presented an entirely new pamphlet and had not made the agreed changes to the old one, according to Crack and Kurvits. “There are points of debate, and then there are things which are just untrue,’ Crack said “We would have had it printed on Monday, if they had done what they agreed to on Friday.” Kurvits also said that the “No” committee printed 1,000 pamphlets on their own instead of through the referendum committee, as required by the referendum policy. The “Yes” side also raised the question of whether appeals of CR0 decisions can be handled objectively by the UW Feds since the ultimate level of appeal is the Fed board of directors. Three of the seven board members, president Dave Martin, Crack, and board of communications chair Glen Rutland, are active campaigners for the “No” side. “According to the policy governing referenda, the board of directors is the final board of appeal,” Martin said. “In addition, council has taken a “no” stand with Continued

Pseudo-analysis What the heck? Are those idiots at Imprint to tell me how to vote? Absolutely not. Inspired by both Spy magazine and historical precedence, this handy chart attempts to predict who will be the next President of the Federation of Students. Drawing upon the admittedly small sample of the previous four years and my own observational experience, I’ve chosen various parameters that apparantly matter, and applied them to the candidates. The shaded candidates from 1489-92 are the ones who won. 1993, obviously, is a prediction. Two main experiences seem to make the difference: first, are you an engineer and second, are or have you been a Village Don? Engineering students typically have one of the highest voter turnouts and, although they will deny it, vote in blocks if an Engineer is running. Being a Village Don gives one a recognizable face, and probably demonstrates some competency in organizational skills, and the ability to manage a large group of people. My theory is that the less actual experience you have for the job, the more likely you are to get it, because the vole is in many senses a popularity contest What percentage of the few that actually bother to vote will base it upon, say, the candidates’ stands on CFS, CKJSA, or the SCP (Student Centre Plan)? Maybe, say, ten percent of the less-thantwenty percent who will vote? With these things in mind, let’s look at the history. 1989 saw Dave Readman run against Steve Markan. Dave was both an Engineer and a Village trying
Don.
But, according to my research, he had no experience with the Federation, the university’s governing bodies, or even a student council. Marlcan, on the other hand, was neither and Engineer or a Don, but did have a vast amount of
actual
actual experience for the position which he was applying to. Dave won. 1990 saw an Engineer square off against a Don,withtheEngineerwinning.AndwhileVellinga had little actual Federation experience, he was, as was Readman, an employee of Fed Hall (For those who weren’t at UW in the ‘80’s, Fed Hall was actually popular and making money back then. Fed Hall employees have not been winning since the place began losing astronomical sums of money.) 1991 was a strange year that saw four candidates running for president, one a Village Don and one an Engineer. The general consensus on why the engineer didn’t win was that, well, he wasn’t really liked a great deal by his peers. He also didn’t bother to gather any running mates, which both Readman and Leddy did. The other two candidates, one will obseve, were neither Dons or Engineers. Also, Leddy presided over one of the most scandal-ridden administrations in history, next to the embezzlement incident and perhaps VPOF Shane Carmichal’s escapades.. The 1992 Fed election was extraordinary, for Dave Martin was an engineer, a Village Don, and actually knew the names and positions of, and the people themselves, in the university administration that he would have to be liaising with as President. Therefore, although he may have won the election due to the “two main experiences’* aforementioned, he was also rather qualified, although he lacked previous Federation of Student experience. So, who will win this year’s contest, based upon their qualities and qualifications? Well, let’s look at who possesses the qualities that have been discerned as significant: Don expe-

“There’ll

And although there are no engineers running for President, Kate’s potential VPOF is. (No, I’m not implying that all engineers will vote for Kate simply because her VPOF running mate is an engineer, but based upon precedent, the possibilitily is not improbable.) Gregory Zografos also has Don experience, but doesn’t yet seem to be too organized, with respect to the campaign. The real contest, I think, will be between Catherine Coleman and Kate Rushforth. First, for those who will vote simply because they recognize someone (people who probably shouldn’t bother voting), both Catherine and Kate are on equal footing. The few who will base their vote on actual experience and qualifications for the job have a bit of thinking to do, as both women have chaired a Federation Board in addition to other varied political involvement, Federation-oriented and otherwise. ThechancesofKateRushforthwinning,along with her running mates, are substantially shored up by her potential VPOF being an Engineer, and her choice of VPUA being another Don. While the contest looks to be a close one, then, I still feel Kate and her running mates will take the whole ball of wax. If I’m wrong, though, I’ll of course claim it was because so many of you had read this piece and changed your mind. And in case you’re wondering, I don’t know and have never even spoken to Kate Rushforth, and am not getting paid to write this.

If there were an appeal to the board, it would be m intention to step down as chair o r the board while it deals with that matter. “Because the board of directors has a number of members of student council on it, I see a conflict of interest there, personally,” Kurvits told Imprint. Vice-president, operations and finance Brent McDermott abstained from the students’ council vofe that endorsed a “No” stance. The other three members of the board are not campaigning for either side. The appeal process has an intermediate step consisting of a referendum appeal committee, which contains the Fed ombudsperson and two undergraduatk who are not members of
students’ council and not involved with the referendum already. A further complaint of the CFS re resentatives is that the second re Perendum question, the one dealing with the disposition of the $2 fee if UW students choose to secede from CFS, is deceptive.

As a candidate for president of the Federation of Students, I stress the importance of a rational voice to represent students’ concerns. I possess the background necessary for this position from extensive involvement in many facets of university life. In particular, my experience as a village don and chair of the Federation’s board of internal liaison has given me an appreciation of the challenges and issues that face UW students. The accessibility of financial aid for post-secondary students is of paramount importance. OSAP is fundamentally flawed: its assumptions about costs of education are outdated and unrealistic and it lacks a method to calculate accurately the
amount a dependent student’s parents can contribute. The University of Waterloo can be instrumental in revamping the current system as members of the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA). This organization proposes an income-contingent loan repayment plan for students. OUSA believes that academically qualified students should not be denied access to postsecondary education because of financial barriers. I support OUSA and its income-contingency plan. The co-op department’s new computerizedinformationnetwork will dramatically alter the process of job placement for students. The implementation of this system provides an excellent opportunity to re-evaluate the internal workings of co-op. I will work with administration to make improvements that will benefit students. The Student Coordinated Plan is well underway; construction of the Physical Recreation Building is imminent, and the Student Centre will be started this summer. It is important to incorporate students’ concerns at each stage of all projects. As a $50,000 government grant to address safety issues at l.JW will end in May, 1 will work to ensure that proper funding is set aside in the university budget. I welcome the opportunity to work with students to make their concerns heard and acted upon though strong and articulate leadership. Please exercise your right to vote in the upcoming election.
Lisa Ye0 president I feel I am your best choice for president of the Federation of Students. As president, I must represent your concerns both at a local and a provincial or national level. First and foremost is life here at the Wniveristy of Waterloo. I am referring to both the academic and non-academic aspects of life at university, I will work with the administration to ensure students’ education concerns as well as to promote pride in our institution. I was on the committee that chose Dr. James
to ive students another for it ‘nancial assistance. (2) They are proposing an initiative to improve funding for Co-op Universities. Currently other provincial governments give additional funding for Co-op Universities, however this is not the case in Ontario. There are increased costs of the Co-op system such as operating the University year-round, duplicating courses over streams, and additional administrative costs. They are looking to combine with other Co-op Universities in Ontario to support the UW administra tion’s proposal currently in front of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities that calls for additional funding. (3) They are looking to improve teaching standards by standardizing the method of professor evaluation across campus, with the goal of improving the quali of education at UW. By being abY e to compare professors on the same scale, students can make better de cisions regarding course selection. (4) They would promote school spirit through a “Welcome Back Week” in January. This pro-
Issues being decided right now will shape UW’s future. Among these are: the student life building, post-secondary education funding, and our university’s relationships with the secondary school system. These issues require not only a president for today, but one with a vision of Waterloo 20 years from now. My platform presents a vision of how the Federation of Students can prepare UW for the turn of the century. As the student life building project advances, it will increasingly command the president’s time. One advantage of this joint venture is the end result - student services will be accessible in one central building. The major risk is
simple - student representatives are relatively inexperienced, while the university is represented by seasoned professionals. This risk can be minimized by electing a president with business experience. Our university is facing a serious financial crunch. Now more than ever, there is a need for students to create viable, realistic proposals. I do not find these solutions coming from either OFS or CFS. The OUSA proposal is pragmatic, and I support it fully. I will meet with representatives from CFS to find areas of agreement. Students everywhere will benefit from whatever unity we can marshal. Waterloo’s greatest strength is its students. That strength dependsoncontinuing toenbanceour student’s quality. Currently wehave little contact with high schools. One Campus Day is simply not enough to assist in a decision. A self-financing program to prepare high school students for university will also serve as free advertising for UW. Please remember your difficulty in choosing a school and ask yourselfwhichcandidateaddresses the concerns of Waterloo’s potential students. I cannot address all of the issues here, but I ask you one question. What are you looking for in a president? Take time to compare my promises and qualificatims with those of the other candidates. Romises must be attainable and specific. Qualifications must be relevant.

Greg Zografos president Rob McGeachy - vice-president, operations and finance; Kate Rushforth - president; Dave Kruis - vice-president, university affairs Kate Rushforth, Rob McGeachy, and Dave Kruis have proven that they work well together as a team through last summer’s Canada Day celebration, which attracted record crowds of over 50,000. “We have learnt from our various involvement on campus committees that goals can be more easily accomplished through the efforts of a team. We work well together and understand the importance of having communication with the student body and the Federation of Students.” Another distinguishing factor of this successful team is that they have a different and realistic approach to this campaign. Over the past four months Kate, Rob, and Dave have approached many students, faculty, and administration in regards to the current student issues on the UW campus. The result of this consultation is seven proposals which they plan to take if elected, to improve the quality of education and life at UW. As a team Kate, Rob and Dave are committed to work together to address the following goals: (1) They are propos~g

Downey as the next president of the university. I now would like the opportunity to work with Dr. Downey to unite the different parties on campus to one goal - that of kee ing the University of Waterloo the ii est one in the country. As always, funding for postsecondary education is a concern. I suppport the OUSA proposal for income-contin ent repayment of loans, a plan I f eel would increase the ion;y available for our education, while allowing the students to pay once they are earning money. The environment is of great importance to me. I will work with the waste management coordinator, Patti Cook, to increase student involvement in recycling and environmental awareness programs across campus. Also, within the Federation of Students office, I will switch to unbleached paper for all official correspondence, with the hope of encouraging other groups on campus to do the same. I will also investigate cornposting for Fed Hall and the Bombshelter, as well as helping any societies interested in making their businesses more environmentally friendly.

Our university entered a new era in 1992 and not simpl because the campus marked its 25t K anniversary. Muclean’s ranked UW as the top medium-sized university in Canada. Surprisingly, it seemed that no one was truly overwhelmed by the good news. Waterloo students, professors and staff have known for years that UW is among Canada’s cream of the cro . As Federation of 8 tudents resident, my goal is to further enRaxe your experience at UW in all levels and aspects including academic, social and personal factors. I will continue to make your welfare my number one priority. Among many potential and upcoming issues lie three which should receive special attention. 1. The uality of student life (QSL) - yotlr li Pe - is the most important aspect of your UW attendance. Academic, social and personal factors form your individual experience here. Today’s society demands better social and personal skills in addition to high academic achievement. Thus we must become more than merely geniuses. Since I conducted a QSL survey in Environmental Studies in 1992, key changes resulted in amore cohesive atmospher and happier people. 2. Better student representation at all government levels and within the university must also continue to remain an important goal. Currently, the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) represents UW effectively and more cost efficiently than OFS (Ontario Federation of Students) did previously; a better CFS substitute can also be found. Government funding and service cuts will also dominate the upcoming agenda. 3. Safety issues remainin the limelight, but safety includes everyone and everything on campus, none of which must be obscured by extraordinary events. “Safety for everyone” should become a campus-wide action plan which I want very much to see implemented. I feel strongly about these issuesandverymuchwant tobecme part of the Federation of Students team whose urpose it is to reprosent and wor & for you. I invite our questions and comments and K ope to receive your support of February 9 and 10.

We are each paying $22.65 to the Federation of Students every semester. Between fees and businesses, the Feds generate and spend over one million dollars each year. The issues are important, but since all of the candidates take very similar stands on the issues, your prime consideration must be who will best manage your money. Please comare the ualifications for each 6 POF can 1 idate and make an informed choice. . My two years working with students for the University has familiarized me with their concerns. My accounting work terms have given me the opportunity to review and evaluate small business effeciency, set and rade goals for a $25 million tong Pommerate and perform bud eting and budget analysis for a t 20 million co oration. For my own consulting % usi-
ness, I redesigned the accounting procedure for businesses totalhng $2.6 million in sales. I believe several issues must be addressed by your VPOF. First, discussions with students have revealed that some Federation services are under-used, while others cannot meet capacity. While improved marketing of these services must be undertaken, the first step is to evaluate students wants and needs, to ensure the necessity of each service. Through discussion with student leaders and budget examination, there is no apparent need for any deficit spending. All candidates agree on this, I have certain questions about the budget process. For example, the executive has almost $15 000 dset aside for “special projects”. This fund originated as a debt repayment tool. Since this debt has been repaid in full and there is also a $37000Student Council special projects fund, what justification is there for such redundancy? The current budget contains many “special project funds.” I do not belive that anything is wrong with these funds, but bud et entries must be more meaning f ul and less vague. The importance of campus safety has been emphasized by our recent tragedy. TheSafetyVanoverflows after night classes and the student walk home service does not begin until1 8pm even though the city is dark at 5pm. With the right leadership, the money csn be found to address these problems. In closing, I ask you to consider your desision carefully. Your vote is worth a million dollars.

Your support is important, and I encourage you to participate in the upcoming elections.
The office of the vice-president, university affairs is one of responsibility, commitment and professionalism. The Federation of Students’ executive is in part responsible for the quality of student life on campus. As your elected student representatives, they address the issues that are important to all students. The duties of the vice-president, university affairs include assisting and coordinating various boards within the Federation. I have tutored English as a second language to an international student and have learned about about the
concerns, fears, and adjustments that these students must face. This experience has kept me in touch with such issues, and I feel qualified to aid in any improvements of the quality of student life for these individuals and for all students. The quality of student life on campus should be of great concern to the executive. I feel a great responsibility to the student body to address any issue that will improve student life campus-wide. Such things as student-professor relationships, quality of teaching, evaluation of teaching, and improving the level of security on campus will always be top priority. Recent changes to OSAP policies have left many students concerned about the cost of their education. The Ontario Underaduate Student Alliance @USA) $unding proposal is considerably morerealisticinsatisfyingstudents’ needs. This proposal uses incomecontingent loan re ayment plans, increases the availa lz ility of loans to students, and decreases the dependency on parental contributions. OSAP continues to assume that parents who are financially able to contribute to their children’s education automatically do so, and thus many students are not entitled to govemment assistance (in most cases). OUSA’s is a more flexible loan repayment plan. This proposal is considerably more realistic to students of May and deserves further considera tion.

Participation in campus activities, events and social groups is a very important part of our education. We certainly need to increase the appeal and diversity of our many extracurricular activities. This can be achieved through effective advertising and promotions. 1 encourage student feedback on new and current projects and welcome any suggestions or questions you may have. I feel very strongly that more attention must be paid to personal safetyoncam us.Nostudentswant the burden o P worrying about their personal safety, especially while they are at school. I fully support current initiatives such as increased lighting in ke locations, help lines on major wa 1y king paths, and surveillance systems in buildings on campus. Again, I stress an open door policy and am always ready to hear and act upon your ideas on the subject of safety. Student fees must be allocated in such a way as to fund special projects and events that ultimately benefit students. This e quires sound financial management. I will assume this responsibility and make sure that the financing of projects such as the Student Co-ordinated Plan is done effectively and accurately.
Sharon Flood vice-president, affairs

My main concerns are: personal safety being re arded as a top priori on and of f campus; improve r funding to help break down any financial barriers that students may be facing when trying to enter
Please get involved in your university to make it a place to enjoy, and remember to vote on February 9 and 10.

and
My responsibilities as the vice-president, operations and finance will be to coordinate and oversee all financial aspects of the Federation of Students. In addition, I will have a hand in the organization and implementation of Federationsponsored events. I will also be a voting member of Students’ Council as well as an ex-officio member of all Federation boards and committees. My overall responsibility will be to the students, ensuring that all their Federation-related needs, concerns and opinions are being addressed. The Federation is a $4-million student-owned car oration. Increasing the visibility an i involvement in our Federation and improving the bottom line are key for a successful future. The allocation of the Federation of Students fees should be solely for the benefit of the student, I will ensure that any financial expenditures undertaken by the Federation are in the best interest of all students. Improving communication between students and the Federation will also be a priority. First, establishing communication with off-campus students through an informative Federation mailout would ensure that students remain up to date on campus issues, policy changes, and upcoming events. Secondly, and more importantly, I feel it is necessary to empower all students. All students should feel comfortable voicing their concerns and opinions regarding such issues as campus safety, allocation of funds and accessibility. The universit experience should be a memora Elle one, an experience in which everyone has an opportunity to be an active member. I am dedicated to improving the overall quality of student life and can be entrusted with the responsibility of making both effective and efficient decisions on behalf of all students. My related experience with the Federation, work experience, and educational background enable me to understand students’ needs and facilitate a plan on their behalf. Together we can make it happen! Your ballot is your voice; let vourself be heard! Please exercise your right to vote.

CFS debate consumes great hall by Kieran special
to
Green lniprint
With the referendum on W’s membership in the Canadian Federation of Students looming nearer on the horizon, representatives of each side gathered in the Campus Centre Great Hall this past Tuesday to publicly debate the issue in an open forum. Federation of Students president Dave Martin and vice-president, university affairs Sue Crack were on hand to speak for the ‘No’ side, while Tammy Speers and Marcella Munroe presented the case for the ‘Yes’ side. Mediating the debate was chief returning officer Andreas Kurvits. It is unfortunate to note that despite the importance of this referendum to the student population, only a sparse crowd showed up to witness the event and ask questions. Opening and closing remarks by the two sides were given only light and scattered applause. Andreas Kurvits started the proceedings with a short introduction, then each side was given a brief period to make opening remarks Tammy Speers rose first, and began with an explanation about CFS itself. CFS, she said, is a national student organization, the second largest of its kind in the world, next to the one that exists in Great Britain. According to CFS figures, approximately 450,000 students are currently members, and they represent about 62 per cent of college and university students in Canada.

Dave Martin
Speers stated that CFS is an extremely powerful lobby voice for the students of Canada, a voice that we truly need. To prove CF!? effectiveness, she cited a case where CFS forced the government to back down on a plan to put the goods and services tax on tuition fees. She also took aim at OUSA, which she claims is the route the Feds will take us should we reject CFS. OUSA, she claimed, will only hurt the students here bv, raising

of the “No”
fees. Martinthen tookthepodium and delivered the opening address for the ‘No’ side. He stated that there are three major issues which demonstrate the need to get out of CFS. The first, he said, is instability. According to Martin, CFS suffers from poor financial planning and damaging internal conflict. Parts of CFS are close to folding for financial reasons and, recently, two national representatives resigned as a result of intemal problems. -The second issue Martin cited was policy. He argued that CFS spends too much time and energy on non-educationally oriented issues. Martin’s third point was that the CFS is indeed a good organiza’ tion for smaller universities, but it
held no real benefits for institutions thesizeofUW.Hefinishedbyclaiming that at the present time, because of problems that occurred when we left the Ontario Federation of Students last winter, Waterloo has no vote in CFS. After these opening state-
ment, the floor was opened up to questions from the audience. The first question concerned CFS travel services like Travel Cuts and the international student card. Marcella Monroe responded

first, saying that while most of the services would still be available, they would be at a greater cost. She cited the Travel Cuts card, which is only $4 for a CFS member, but $16 for non-members. Dave Martin rebutted, stating that Travel Cuts is a business whose most successful offices are in factlocatedonthecam-

iount cards are available to non-members, and that travel agenties, airlines, etc. are obliged to give the exact same discount to all card-holders whether thev be CFS members or ‘not. The question was then asked: if we opt out of CFS, what kind of representation will we have at the federal level? In answer, Martin pointed to the University of Alberta, who are not members of CFS but who are, he said, managing to get major changes put in place. He also claimed that the Feds are perfectly capable of getting meetings with government officials on their own, and in fact do have one such meeting coming up soon. Speers countered, saying that without CFS, Waterloo’s representation at the national level will be practically nil. She claimed that the meeting Martin had alluded to is a meeting regarding OUSA, not simply UW. According to Speers, the CFS is the only student organization that the government will go to when they want students to sit on their committees. A student rose and asked if leaving CFS so we could pursue further relations with OUSA was the reason for the referendum. Monroe of the ‘Yes’ side responded that if we opt out of CFS, we will be giving the Feds a “carte blanche” to proceed with involvement in OUSA. OUSA, she argued, stands for individual responsibility for one’s education, and the financing thereof, whereas CFS wants better accessibility to education fox all. Martin’s answer was that OUSA involvement was an election campaign platform last year/ so the Fedsaremerelypursuingwhatthey

BIGGER than UW
in fires of hell said they would do. He also said that CFS’s zero tuition fee policy is unrealistic, OUSA’S student load income contingency plan being far more realistic. CFS’ iinancial situation became an issue when a student inquired about how long CFS could afford to run a deficit. Crack revealed that the CFS’ national treasurer had told her that the Ottawa operations wing of the CFS has about one year to live because of financial difficulties. The CFS fee increase that we are facing is an attempt by CFS to bail itself out of its monetary woes. However, Crack said, the increased fee is not going to mean increased financial responsibility by CFS. Speers’ response was, “It’s a case of your facts against our facts.” She claimed that the national treasurer told her in a letter that the CFS had actually registered a profit in the past year. While Travel Cuts had lost money, the treasurer had said, that was due only to the recession. Speers also pointed out that the CFS fee had not been raised in about 10 years. One of the last questions posed before closing statements asked what proposals CFS has for improving the quality of education. Munroe described CFS’ large research unit. The research unit, she said, conducts studies on a vast number of important and relevant educational issues. These research papers are used by the government and by educators to help improve the quality of our education. In rebuttal, Martin produced a CFS policy paper on co-operative education, read two short policy statements contained therein, and finished with an emphatic, “that’s it?” The research unit, he said, gets very little done, and produces very few useful policies. As well, Martin noted that here at Waterloo we have our own good research program.
CR0 Andreas Kurvits closed the question period and invited the two sides to make their closing statements. Sue Crack began by stating that, here at Waterloo, we have a strong and effective voice of our own: we do not need CFS to speak for us. She then referred to last year’s OFS referendum, stating that we left OFS because it espoused unrealistic policies and did not give us our money’s worth in services, adding that the situation with CFS is very much the same. CFS is a good organization for smaller schools, she claimed, but it is not right for us. She concluded by claiming that UW is currently being ostracized and our motions ignored by CFS. Speers’ closing argument criticized the UW Feds, claiming that the student body contributes almost $25 per student, plus $7 for Fed Hall, to the Feds and get very little in return. However, she said, for only $2 each, CFS gives us a powerful lobby voice in government. In response to the complaints about the problems in CFS, Speers noted that in the past, UW Feds have worked out their differences with CFS, so why can that not be done now? All in all, despite the potential emotionality of the issue, the forum was remarkably quiet and orderly. Very little was said that was not already known. The ‘No’ side stood by their platform that CFS is a troubled organization that has little to offer UW, while the Yes’ side reiterated the power of CFS’ lobby voice and in the dangers of OUSA. The forum offered a basic view of the issues involved in this referendum and was useful for those who did not understand what the referendum is about.

The Waterloo varsity nordic ski travelled to Barrie to particiin two Ontario interdivisional at Hardwood Hills and Horsevalley last weekend. Freestyle races were held on Saturday at Hardwood followed by classical technique time trials on Sundaymomingat Horseshoe.Racing conditions were excellent and it was nice to be able to ski all out on well groomed trails without bare patches, rocks, or giant slush puddles. The ubiquitous dump of pristine white snow in the Barrie area also made ftir spectacular scenery. However, scenery was not on the minds of most team members during their races. University teams competed against Ontario team members and club skiers as race organizers didn’t have separate races for varsity skiers and club members. Coach, van driver, and skier extrodinaire Lisa Patterson placed sixth overall out of 37 finishers in the senior women’s lo-kilometre mass start skating technique race. JackieMartinplaced21stand’L;inda Lee put herself into 28th despite losing a contact during the race. Ron Howden was 13th out of team pate races shoe

Dennis Paradine finished in 21st spot followed by Gary Pluim 31standKenMacleodin33rd.Other team finishes included Steve Paradine 39th, Dave Richardson 4lst, Trevor Stewart 4&h, and Rob Milburne 50th. Brent Curry entered the junior men’s race but his time would have placed him in 2Z+d spot if he raced senior. Howden also placed 13th of 51 racers in Sundays senior men’s IOkm classical technique race. The deceptive race course was probably 1 km longer than measured and skiers had to dig deep to fiih the last endless hill climb. Dennis Paradine finished in 18th followed by his brother Steve in 30th spot. Macleod 34th, Pluim 36th, Richardson 38th, Milbujme, and Stewart rounded out the team. Patterson finished fifth out of 33 finishers in the women’s 5-km classical time trial followed by Jackie Martin (who had her red Honda stolen from Waterloo park while she was away) in 15th and Linda Lee in 16th.’ Midland is the site for this weekend’s race.

corny movies, and, when it reached the basket, it touched nothing but the mesh. The women in purple were so shocked that they didn’t even try for a last-second shot. Final score: Waterloo over Western 55-51. Waterloo had played as a team, and this was evident from the score sheet. Acadia transfer Maureen MacDonald finished the game with 12 points (83 per cent field goal average). Wordham had 12 points and ripped down 9 rebounds. Brenda Kraemer finished the game with 9 points, and rookie Kim Stusyk netted 8. PO&guard Janice Awad scored 6 points and tore down 4 boards. Coming off the bench, Lori Kraemer hit for 6 points, shooting 75 per cent. Second-year post
player Sue Kruis had 5 rebounds and 3, steals. Leading the Mustangs were Lori Bartolotta with 15 points ahd Michele Mommersteeg with 9. With this victory, the Athenas are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, zind they seem determined in staying’ alive. If they continue to play as a team, they should make playoffs with no problem. After sending the Purple Satan back where they belong, that inferno in London (burn, baby, burn!) the Athenas should be able to match any team in the league. The A thenas’ next game is Saturday at M&laster; game time is 4 o’clock. They are on the road next Wednesday, February 10 at Guelph; game time is 6 o’clock. They are at home again on Saturday, February 13, playing that high school down the street (WLU) at 12:OO pm.

The Athenas again got down by a point, but pulled evenand took the lead because of two more kills by Campbell, along with successive shanks off of setter Christine Harrison’s serves. Waterloo then took advantage of their first game service taking the game with a stuff block by Michelle VanVliet. VanVliet lead Waterloo with 13 kills, 5 blocks, and 10 digs. Coach Dena Deglau was happy with the win but as always wanted more intensity from her team. Then this Wednesday, the Athenas

With thiiloss, it will take somewhat of a miracle for the combination of wins and losses to occur that would see Waterloo go on to postseason play. The Athenas have two more games left this season, both in the friendly confines of the PAC, first on Wednesday hosting the Guelph Gryphons and then a week from today when Western comes to town.

The Athena and Warrior badminton teams travelled to the University of Ottawa last weekend for the final regular season tournament of the year. Waterloo competed against the Eastern Conference teams, those being University of Ottawa, University of Toronto, Ryerson, York, and Quen’s. Bo’th the Athenas and Warriors were aiming to claim one of the four spots in the OUAA/OWIIA finals to be held on February 7 in Ottawa. These berths are based on the total number of matches won in singles and doubles competition over the entire year. Entering .the tournament, the fifth-place Athenas were five matches behind fourth place Queen’s The Warriors were in fourth, looking to make up ground on third-place York. Also up for grabs on the weekend was the mixed doubles championship. While the mixed doubles event does not contribute points to the standings with regards to the provincial finals, there is a separate award for the top mixed doubles team of the year. Waterloo entered the weekend in third place, but with one extra game to play than each of the top two teams. Both of the four-member men’s and women’s teams played five singles matches on Saturday. The Athenas fared very well, combining for a record of 13 wins and 7 losses on the day. Joanna Buzek, playing in the second seedi,position, compiled an impressive 4-l record on the day, wiping many close matches. The Warriors took longer to get back into tournament form, suffering some very close defeats in early play. As the day went on, however, the squad warmed up and brought their record back to the level mark, to finish with ten w&s and tenlosses. The Athen&’ excellent performance and the Warriors’ disappointing performance put them both in close competition for the fourth and final playoff spots going into Sunday’s doubles action. The Athenas #picked up right where they left off the day before. The number-one women’s doubles team of Marcia MacVicar and Kristen Bobbie played strongly, with four wins, including one over playoff-bound Queen%. The number-two team of Judy Dotten and Joanna Buzek also compiled a four and one record on the day. This gave the women’s team a 21-9 combined record for the weekend, which was good for third place at the tournament. Unfortunately, even this excellent showing was not quite enough to vault them into fourth. The Athenas finished fifth on the yar, which is a dramatic improvement over their eighth place finish last year. The mixed doubles championship came down to the last match of

and Kelly Slough had only one loss on the day, that being to York. They were able to win very close matches against Ottawa and Toronto to finish with a 4-l record.

Here are some of last week’s results from mixed doubles tennis tournament and did you know what “Boccia” is? Well open up your ears and listen! Boccia, a favourite Italian 9Eqr)r pastime, is descended from the ii Greek ball tossing games. A game like Boccia was played f l t throughout the Roman Empire 3m 3m 4 55 and later developed into such variants as lawn bowling, nine !?o pins, and boules. ii 8 Boccia is played on a bor%: dered court.

Jack rests in the valid area of the court. Any ball that is thrown out of court, or is knocked out of court is “dead” and is placed in a “Dead Ball” container. If the Jack is knocked out of court during the game, it is positioned on the “replaced Jack cross” and the side with the ball lying furthest away from it is the side to play first. If two or more balls are equidistant from the Jack, then the side that threw the last ball will throw now. The sides will continue to throw the last ball until either (1) the equidistant relationship is disturbed or (2) one side has thrown all of its balls. Play then continues as normal. The end is completed when all balls have been thrown. i The scoring is as follows: 1) Each ball situated nearer Y to the Jack than the nearest of 3 opponents balls will receive one point. 2) If two or more balls of different colours are equidistantfromtheJack,andnoother balls are closer, then each will receiveonepoint.Seeattached diagram for better visualizeI tion of the court area. Boccia is a great sport and it ; really forces each individual to become involved in the play. And not only that, but it also widens possibilities for t3 people with disabilities and gives them opportunity to ex3 perience a larger variety of sports. i (information extracted from “Sport for Disabled - Boccia and Precision Boccia Manual”) An activity day for persons with disabilities will occur on Sunday, February 7 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. in Gym 3 of the PAC. Featured is boccia ball activity and a guest speaker Debra Willows, sponsored by Ontario Sports for the Disabled. All are welcome whether it’s to just watch or participate.
On Monday, January 31, the mixed doubles tennis tournament took place at the Waterloo Tennis Bubble. The standings were as follows: 1st place: Roger Wang and Joanne Liem; 2nd place: Jason Taylor and Andrea Leask; 3rd place: Jason Wood and Liz Peace. Congratulations to you all.

Why the hell a band like Spirit of the West would play at such a tight-assed place as the Humanities Theatre is still a mystery to me. But I,andmostoftherestofthepumped up audience, made the best of it by dancing around in the narrow seats and aisles. I apologize to all those around me who I bonked and ’ stepped on in my simple, suddenly awakened,lust for life. You know you’re at a good concert if the music induces in you a state comparable to a few beers or joints. I should say that I’d never really heard of the band before I went ’ to the concert (this is probably not due to lack of popularity on their part, but to my musical ignorance.) I only knew their well-known song “Political”, which had reminded me of an almost forgotten ex-boyfriend. ’ And what the heck, tickets were only 13 bucks. Based in Vancouver, the band is definitely a Canadian band. Political awareness and the conflicts
surrounding Canadianess floated through their intelligent lyrics in such songs as “Far too Canadian”, where singer and guitarist John Mann lamented about Canadians who don’t stand up for their country and virtually
allow
the southern
shadow to be as large as it is. Another song, which glorified women stemmed from John’s experience of becoming a father. Mann is an excellent performer, with energy that
could blast him through the roof. During a song about the gulf war, his childlike enthusiasm reminded me of a drunk cruise missle. Though none of the other band members could quite keep up with Mann, they all were essential in creating the unified picture of a mature band. Linda MacRae on bass and accordion and Hugh McMillan on mandolin and bass added to the rich sound, while
Geoffry Kelly’s skills on flute, guitar and bodhran ( a sort of hand drum), reflected his Scottish origins as he thrust the group, and the audience, into spirited jigs and reels. The combination oi the traditional Celtic folk sound and contemporary rock was pretty darn amazing. As I listened in to conversations of older fans sitting around me, I heard a lot of talk about change. Appearantly Vince Ditrich, the drummer, was a new addition to theband. Icouldnot imagine things without him. What he added to the songs was not a wishy-washy type beat, but a strong, primal pulse that I felt deep inside my gut* And apart from being an awesome drummer, Vince also has a great sense of humour. Definitely not attractive in the classical Roman David sense, he performed the pizza-pie-moon song, while “balle tically ” jumping and dancing around the stage. And I don’t think anyone who was there will forget the story behind the song “Venice is Sinking”, about the littIe boy in ZI Venetian museum who tried to climb onto Marini’s sculpture of a man on horseback, by grabbing hold of the man’s erection.

Heron herein astounding. Their body embraces at once soul, jazz and blues, becoming the uplifting dream that is Scott-Heron’s starkyet-inspiring worldview. Like the rest of his performance, (broken into two hourlong sets), the most heartfelt and angry of his songs (“Gun” and “Johannesburg”, etc.) are at their core essenoptimistic tially spirituals. In the face of such stylings, then, ScottHeron’s reservations about his newlyfangled cult staus as “rap godfather” prove to be valid. No one would ever have walked away from the performance under the delusion that it was a hip-hop show, but it was remarkable that many people, prior to the start, expected just that.

Pleasantly surprising, his voice immediately served notice that he’s gettingbetter with age. He’s always lacked respect as a pure singer in the past, but on Tuesday night ScottHeron’s warm buttery baritone was as soulful as anything I’ve heard in a long while. Better yet, Scott-Heron allowed his older material to take on new life. At no time was the show ever obviously retrospective despite some of that material’s being almost as old as many of the crowd. “Winter In America” was a case in point.

Medicine appearing with Mercury Rm at the opera House, Toronto Monday, February Ist, 1993 by

hIprint
Fisher stuff
It was only a small matter of time before the British “shoe-gazing” sound would eventually find it’s way influencing bands on this side of the Atlantic. Boston’s Drop Nineteens, for instance, are doing some prettycreative things with the oceanic style, and now we’ve got LA’s Medicine, a band that the good folks at RefIer magazinethinkaregoing tobe huge. If the evidence of their first Toronto appearance is any indication, however, that whole success proposition seems wildly laughable at best. WithMedicine, theclicheabout imitation being the sincerest form of flattery turns out to be just that, a cliche - just like Medicine, a paintby-numbers band whose whole performance and sense of artistic originality seems as mind-numbingly bankrupt as back-to-back episodes
of who’s The Boss. And just as exciting. I feel a little bit ashamed about writing all this since I rarely ever slag a band. If somebody deserves a good dissing, I’m more than content to permit somebody else the honours. But Medicine are a different breed altogether. That’s mostly because Medicine’s most obvious modus operandi will forever have them being lumped in with My Bloody Valentine, and that’s a fate so odorous and cruel I simply can’t allow it to go unchallenged. Never has a rhythm section been so lifeless. Never has a lead singer been so useless. Never has a band worn out it’s weIcome so fast and stayed on stage so long. Never has plagiarism been so blatant and embarrassing. Never have I wanted to implore my fellow man to avoid a band so much. Icouldbeinforamassiveabout face should I ever be so graced by any of their supposedly credible records. But given their live act, I just can’t fathom it. Truthfully, Medicine are about

While some may see live shows as only an addendum to an artist’s work on record, going to a show and seeing a band that you’re not all that familiar with can makeorbreakyourperception of that artist. This is all tootrue in the case of Mercury Rev. Having recently picked up their last album Yers@ Steam, I didn’t find myself putting it on the old Imprint stereo a whole lot, but after their supercharged concert at The Opera House last Monday, they more than compensated for the limitations of their CD. The band took the stage just after 11 o’clock. They shambled on much like any current indie-guitar band, shoe-gazing like there’s no tomorrow (and I My kingdom guess there is no tomorrow in their world). However with this band there was a difference. That difference lies in David Baker, a man who looks twice the age of anyone else in the band and dressed like some hitchhiker the band picked up on the way to the gig. NoneoftheseperceptionsIhad were in any way dismissed by the end of the show. Baker played the role of the burn-out to the hilt (perhaps he wasn’t playing). Hewalkedoffstage and into the crowd several times and for no other reason than that he had to go to the washroom for all 1 could tell. He rushed the microphone like
a madman throughout the concert, but backed off as though he had miscued the vocals most of the time. Several times he stood stock still and looked around as though he didn’t know where all the sound was coming from, or why all these people were looking at him. His antics played perfectly off “Grasshopper”, the rhythm guitarist and

matches.
bassist Dave Fridmann both of whom spent most of the concert contemplating the recording stacks on the stage while the crowd contemplated their backs. The star of the show was undoubtedly lead guitarist Jonathan Donahue. Taking the band in and out of a myriad of sounds, he blasted at his guitar like he was wrestling with a crocodile at times and at others coaxed honey coated melodies out of it. Their influences were obvious, MBV and the Boo Radleys (a little more of the former), but rather than imitate and fail miserably, the band managed to overcome the copycat
tendencies which plague most bands and create a musical body more than worthy of the attention that they’re currently receiving. Loud motherfuckers. That’s one way of putting it - the most succinct and the most accurate way I can think of. But rather than rest sheerly upon their amplifiers, Mercury Rev managed the most deli-
Dhoto by Dave Fisher cate form of aural surgery. They were able to offset the bleeding ears of their patients with dainty, melodic wipes from the same axes which they used earlier to make broad sweeping cuts with. The show ended with a version of “When You Wish Upon a Star.” Although this sounds like a pretty campy attempt at a musical comedy, Mercury Rev managed to pull it off, even though they interspersed the verses with some crunchy guitar. It was a beautiful wind-down to a brilliant concert and a testament to the band’s versatility and musical genius.

Formed in 1988, Jesus Jones forged a spot for themselves in British dance/rock circles over the course of two LP releases. 1989’s Liquidizer, while low on the charts, was a solid album of British pop, establishing the band a strong fan base, particularly in the UK and Europe. Doubt, arrived in 1991, and became the North American “breakthrough”album. Combining guitar pop, dance beat and groovy haircuts, Jesus Jones topped EMF, the SoupDragons, and the Manchester types, scoring hits with “Real, Real, Real,” “International Bright Young
verse, Jesus Jones have made changes in their musical approach. Simply put-- break out the whistles and bells (bottoms, that is), Jesus Jones have gone techno. Jesus Jones? Techno?? To be fair, however, Povme is not strictly a techno album. Even to the genre as ignorant as myself, the techno influence is evident- Most notable are the furious tempo and pounding beat of ‘Your Crusade’, and the crashing keyboard intros to ‘Zeroes and Ones’, and ‘Magazine’. While the very word ‘techno’ may send shivers down the spines of some readers, Jesus Jones fans-TAKE HEART! Jesus frontman Mike Edwards hasn’t forgotten how to write a danceable pop tune. In fact, several of the songs could have just as easily appeared on Doubt as on Perverse. Amid the heavy keyboards and sampling lurk danceable riffs and tuneful melodies.
.
_
The album commences with a strong start, with highlights “Zeroes and Ones, ” “The Devil You Know,” “Don’t Believe It,” and “The Right Decision.+’ The only true dud offered up is “Spiral”, a hopelessly repetitious and boring bit of filler. Modem technology is glorified not only in the music of Peruerse, but lyrically as well. ‘Zeroes and Ones’ celebrates the computer revolution, while ‘Magazine’ and ‘Don’t Believe It’ comment on the media and information age. _ Though I’ve always been a sucker for a guitar, Perverse is a good, danceable album, and may be setting the stage for a greater techno-rock revolution. In times when most ‘new’ music is little more than recycled riffs from the past (Soundgarden, Lenny Kravitz etc.), at least Jesus Jones have tried to create something unique. For those lamenting Jesus Jones’ move toward techno, just be glad they didn’t decide to go grunge! dk~print

Hardcore thrash juggernaut D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) is back to terrorize John Q. Public. With ten years in the business, this Texas-based foursome has two things going for it. One, it is not being labelled as another slit-yourwrist alternative from Seattle, and two, its originality as one of the first punkmetal products to emerge from the 80’s brings D.R.I. unquestioned superiority. However, the band has had to overcome several lineup changes in its 10 year history. D.R.I. changed drummers twice, the first time between their debut album and Dealing With It, and most recently after the Thrashzone tour. Also, a bass change was made between Four Of A Kind and Thrashzone. The only original members, vocalist Kurt Brecht and guitarist Spike Cassidy, compose all of the songs and lyrics, keeping that definitive D.R.I. style. Their latest release, Definition, is a venomous recovery from the lame and uninven live Thrashzone. Never once accused of producing boring lyrics, D.R.I. deals with several controversial issues in the 13track set. The quick-paced opener “Acid Rain” speaks out against the care-
lessness of a generation which ruined the Earth beyond all repair. “The Target”, meanwhile, is a philosophical exchange from the guns of war to the guitars of music. On a lighter note, “The Application” is an unorthodox spew of questions at a job interview, while “Tone Deaf” is a humorous look at Brecht as a useless, yet budding young musician. Although Definition fails to match the energy of D.R.I.‘s career highlight Crossover, it is one of their better efforts. A recent billing at the Concert Hall iri Toronto with Body Count, Exodus, and Pro-Pain displayed the band’s ferociousness, but if you can’t see them live, pick up this cassette. It is a great introduction to the D.R.I. discography.

Take some folk music, a little country twang, some border-line punk, a little funky dance music, utterly confused lyrics and a whole lot of rock and roll, blend them together and what do you come up with?
Scott B. Sympathy’s newest album Drinking With The Poet. This is Scott B. Sympathy’s second album; the first Neil Yonge Street (Smokeshow) was released in 1990. Scott Bradshaw the leader of the band, originally from Brantford Ontario, has been around the Toronto music scene for years, finally forming Scoff B. Sympathy in 1986. So I ask you what’s his excuse for the American _ _ __ accent? _ __ ‘l’his album has really grown on me - when I first Listened to it I thought it was ‘O.K.‘, the second time I thought it was a ‘good effort’ and now it has graduated to being ‘pretty good’. I actually like it now...
But can anyone figure out the lyrics? Call me tirazy, but they make no sense! In an interview with Spotlight Magazine Scott Bradshaw even admits, “I’m constantly writing but I don’t know exactly what I’m writing about.” Scott B. Sympathy describes their own lyrics the best in the song “Coming Home to You”: “words aretumblingdownandfindingtheir own rhyme scheme. There’s no need for understanding.” Or better yet the song “Sense” saysit all: “Everybody’s got some sense, why are you lookingatus?Everybody’sgotsome sense. Not us!” Overall Drinking With 77ze Poet is a bit slow in some parts, a bit trendy in others (you can really tell they used to open for Blue Rodeo), and yet again great in others. “Can’t Hold On That Way” and “Coming Home To You” are by far the grea test hits off this album. And I’m sure that they will be played by many a Canadian radio station in order thatthey may meet their Canadian content requirements. Try them, you might like ‘em, but remember to listen to the album more than once. It just may “grow on you” too!

I’ve always been fairly uncomfortable with the idea of reviewing stuff by people I know. This wariness springs from the fear that I won’t like it: if that’s the case, I can either slag my friends or offer praise so bland that they’ll know it’s insincere. Luckily, I don’t have that problem with War Wagon’s new demo cassette Finnigan’s Tongue. If anything, I was shocked by just how much I enjoyed this ten-song tape. This collection offers a potent distillation of War Wagon’s... Canadian
dirge folk? Celtic grunge? Suffice to say that War Wagon’s sound is an-often thrilling meeting of Celtic folksongwriting (a la Spirit of the West) and a very unfolkish raw, grungey guitar sound. They clearly understand the foot-stomping power of Celtic folk, but their love of guitars distinguishes them from similar acts. As do John Pearce and Mike Wert’s lyrics, which do not seek to hide, but rather revel in, the group’s Canadian background-Canadian history is a repeated lyrical obsession. “Dead Soldier”, “Florizel” and the title track reveal a sincere, unpretentious sensibility. And songs like “Forest without End” are as vibrant and exciting as any majorlabel act- Celtic or grungethat you’re likely to hear. I still maintain
that War
Wagcm
is best appreciated live, but this tape is still an invaluable document of what I can honestly say is my favourite local band.

Arts / New Revolutions of mother earth and in the continuing saga of the serpent and the cross and the kelt and the kraut, Cope has managed to weave a wondrous tale of magic and religion, of life, death, love and hate and all the mystical phenomena which make up our lives. Julian Cope may very well be Jesus Christ the magician. If you take just his initials J.C., they’re the same as Jesus Christ. The last track on Phase 2 of the album is called Julian I-I. Cope, and sometimes when people use the lord’s name in vain, they say Jesus H. Christ. The album is broken into three Phases, a musical trinity if you will, which manages to explore the various religious images in our society and how they relate to the mother earth. This is important to us in this world because we have to realize that we live in a very close symbiotic relationship with nature, and if we are not kind to the world now, we won’t leave anything for our children.
4-5 by Sundy Atwul Imprint stuff 1 love trees. I love flowers - and I love Julian Cope. And I hate Island Records. On a roll and producing what I guess (from my limited experience) is some of the best work of his career, and undoubtedly the best albums of his career, Julian Cope was unceremoniously dropped from Island a few months ago. But I will not be bitter since Julian Cope taught me to love again. It’s been a while since Peggy Suicide, his last foray into the realm

Sometimes, it seems like Julian Cope wants toleave this world altogether. This is described in the song ‘Up-Wards at 45”‘. This is my favourite song on the album right now. As he sings: “Going upwards at forty-five degrees/ going upwards at forty-five degrees/ going upwards at forty-five degrees“ 1 think you can imagine if you were flying, you’d want to go at about forty-five degrees because if you flew lower, you’d hit the horizon, and if you flew higher, you might go right into the sun! Earlier in the song, he sings about a spaceship that comes from outerspace and it’s above the valley of the stone circles and Julian Cope thinks that it’s going to take someone from the earth.
Perhaps you have heard about aliens abducting people, but I think that Julian Cope is talking about friendly aliens (like the alien from his last album.) If they could take me, I think it would be interesting to see what life is like on other planets (if they come from a planet). Inthealbumsleeve, JulianCope has some of his poetry about Socrates (a Greek philosopher) and about megaliths. This gave me inspirationandIwroteapoemaboutJulian cope. mn’t clotle
speed.
There is a new record by Julian Cope Although he’s religious, he’s not the Pope He is. alone in this crazy world of ours Living among the long dragging hours And if this world he one day leaves I’ll be out of my mind on dope and
His albums are beautiful and if there were more people like him, I don’t think there would be as many wars (or maybe none at all) and we would all love the earth a lot more. She has given a lot to us, and it’s time we gave a little something back. Who knows, maybe all she needs is love.
(For those of you who know, “Out of My Mind on and Speed” is a song by The drop Explodes, which is the that he was in before he went (alone).).
Most people might think that Julian Cope is insane, but they’re wrong because I think that Julian Cope is a very intelligent man who writes about things that most people don’t think about.

The characters in Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature ofLove are “these extraordinarypeople who you meet every day but you wouldn’t want to meet any day,” says the play’s director, David Cheoros. He adds: “And yet you end up loving them.” Brad Fraser’s successful stage play will be produced by the UW Drama Dept. next week* Although the word “love” occurs in the title, Remains does not promote the traditional Valentine’s Day sentiments. When Cheoros saw the play at the Poor Alex in Toronto in January of 1990, he was “profoundly moved by it. What I loved about it was that within seconds it was able to communicate, on an emotional level, really sophisticated ideas--and then make you laugh.” That summer, he invested financially in the commercial remountoftheshow.Healreadyknew he had to direct it himself some day, and he went about preparing for that event: he played the central role, coincidentally called David, in a scene study class; he spent several months in Edmonton, where Remains is set; he interviewed Fraser; he held a reading of the script long before auditions. And he also managed to direct seven other plays 1 along the way, including Last Moczn, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, Nurse 1 Jane Goes to Huwaii, and Tissue. 1 The play shines its search beams on the seamier side of urban life, on cruelty and loneliness and activities we avoid discussing. As the stories, emotions, and thoughts of the seven characters overlap and criss-cross, the audience is confronted with its own reactions to prostitution, drug use, eating disorders, friendship, marriage, homosexuality, casual sex, and more. These reactions have been memorable enough in the past to gamer Remains a following from its inception at the 1988 Alberta Theatre Projects’ Playrites Festival, through numerous re-stagings in Edmonton, Toronto, and other Canadian nuclei, to productions in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris. As you read this, a movie version by filmmaker Denys Arcand (of Jesus of Montreal fame) is in the works. Fraser was being modest

when he told Cheoros: “This play has bought me a house.” Locally, the talk about Remains has often revolved around issues hinted at in the poster’s warning: “contains nudity, violence, coarse language and controversial lifestyles.” Kitchener-Waterloo is not asaccustomed to nakedness on stage for artistic aims as are some other communities where the play has been mounted. When Oh! Calcutta! came to Centre in the Square last year, a group of picketers paraded outside. However, other recent productions involving partial nudity, such as K-W Live Theatre’s Eqlclrs and Upstage Productions’ Sqriew-deDeux, completed their runs free of protest. The UW Drama Dept. has its own precedents: its 1979 Threepenny CIppra featured full frontal male nudity, and there were moments of partial female nudity in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1983. Cheoros feels confident that the university audience is ready for Remains. The only objections raised so far have targeted other areas. The

Drama Dept. has received calls from the Faculty of Engineering, expressing the feeling that the title of the play is in poor taste in light of the New Year’s Day murder of David Zaharchuk, and also from GLLOW, the Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo, complaining that the term “controversial lifestyles” in publicity is inappropriate for a play portraying homosexual acts. Proposing this work as a directing thesis did not pose problems for Cheoros. The Drama Dept. administration was “sensitive but not opposed” to the show’s content, Cheoros reports. “They wanted to ensure it would be done in a manner that wouldn’t be gratuitous or degrading to the actors or audiences,” but they agreed that the more radical elements were vital to the playwright’s purpose. Cheoros considers Remains “a wonderful example of a style of theatre that is visceral on a street level. It affects people on a gut level in contemporary situations. For this particular play, an integral part of that is the nudity. It challenges and expands the ability of the actors, certainly their comfort. It challenges the audiences as well, and expands their perceptions of what should be on a stage.” In short, the nudity is “not there for shock value, but it is there for value.” Unidenfi$edHum.anRonuinsand the True Nature of Love opens next Wednesday. Tickets, goingfast, are $6 for students and seniors, $8 forgeneral public, and can be purcha& from the Theatre Centre Box Ofice, 885-4280.

The Phoenix, Toronto
Tuesday, by Peter Imprint
February

Brown doff
Four performers united by a love for songwriting will gather together next Tuesday, February 4 at The Phoenix in Toronto to celebrate the writing and performing processes. Guy Clark, Joe Ely, Michelle Shocked, and Allen Toussaint will treat listeners to an evening centred around their careers, the songs they have written, the secrets of songwriting, and the world in general. All four will be playing some of their favourite songs, a brand new tune here or there, or even a duet. Guy Clark, a major influence on such songwriters as Rodney Crowell and Lyle Lovett, is an incisive lyricist with a streetwise Texashipster poignancy. His latest and seventh release, Boafs to Build, features Crowell and Emmylou Harris. Some of his songs, such as “Heartbroke” and “Desperadoes Waiting for a Train,” have scored hits for Ricky Skaggs, the Highwaymen, Vince Gill, and others. Joe Ely has toured with the likes of the Roiling Stones and Tom Petty. He has released albums called Love and Danger, Hanky TO& Masquerade, Down on the Drag’, and Mustu hbfta Gotfa Lotta. Masquerade was listed by XolZin~ Stone magazine as
one of the top albums of the ’70s. Allen Toussaint has a veritable who’s who of rock among his collaborators. He has written songs for everyone from The Pointer Sisters, Esther Phillips, and Otis Redding to Little Feat, The Rolling Stones, Robert Palmer, Johnny Winter, and the Judds, among countless others. His catalogue numbers over 600 songs and includes such diverse classics as “Working in the Coal Mine,” “I Like it Like That,” “Mother-in-Law,” and “Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley.” Toussaint has produced albums for Paul McCartney and Wings, Joe Cocker, Etta James, Ramsey Lewis, John Mayall, and King Biscuit Boy. Other arranging credits include Paul Simon’s “Kodachrome,” The Band’s “Rock of Ages,” and “Out of Our Idiot” by Elvis Costello. Michelle Shocked returns to
photo by Bernard Kearney Ontario after last summer’s brilliant show at the Commercial Tavem in Maryhill. Her latest album, The Arkansas Truveller, is the latest expression of her musical roots, a theme she has already explored on her first three LPs, The Texas Campfire Tapes, Shurt S?uzrp Shocked, and Captain Swing. “Some folks think I keep changing styles,” Shocked says. “Naw. I’ve tried to show where my musical sources come from -- Texas songwriters like Guy Clark, uptempo blues/swing like Bob Wills and Louie Jordan and homemade jam. . . I don’t know where this road goes from here. I’ve just tried to explain how I got here.”
Members of the Songwriters Association of Canada will receive a $3.00 discount (at the door only) with member identification.

It’s not a show, it’s FASS UniFASSal
Studios present Reel Thing” Humanities Theufre Until February 6,1993
by Craig Imprnit
‘The
Nickerson staff
So I’m trying to write a review of this years FASS show and I really
don’t know how to start. I could begin by giving you a history of FASS but hey this is a review right? If you want a history lesson then you’ll have to go elsewhere. I mean, I could talk about past FASS shows and their themes like FASSter Than A Speeding Bullet, the theme being superheroes or FASSist Manifesto in which the theme is advertising
but either you have already seen these shows in which case me telling you about them would be redundant or you haven’t and I am needlessly reminding you of what you have missed. I will, however, tell you that this year’s show is called UniFASSaI Studios presents “The Reel Thing” and the theme is old movies. I’ll also reprint the FASS Mission Statement: “FASS to some is a theatre company with a social aspect, and to others a social group that puts on a show. Our annual winter show is written, produced and performed by UniversityofWaterlooFaculty,Alumni, Staff and Students.” If FASS were a television show it would be Cheers. The cast and crew of FASS is massive, there is a good chance that you know one of them, hell, there is a good chance that you are one of them, If FASS were a class it would be Psych 101. Accordingly, the show is also massive, Stephen Hawkings could not measure it’s parameters, When I say massive, I do not simply mean the ‘two and one half hour length, or the sixty member musical numbers, I mean the themes and characters that it deals with. The show features God,the Pope, James Dean,Queen Elizabeth and the ever massive Alfred Hitchcock in the context of lighthearted vignettes concerning organized crime,war and death. There is a main plot(?)wh LOOSELY ties the sketches together and I do mean LOOSE, I’m talking LOOSER than a goose of the long necked variety. This plot is the classic story of: studio executives found movie studio, studio executives lose
Don’t forget to Fass before Easter studio to the mob (one of which sounds like a cross between James Cagney and J.F.K.),studio executives try to get studio back. Along with this there are instalments of an old republic serial like story which involves communist nazis and a plot to destroy the world! AND there are parodies of old films, a scary giant rat and Chippy the kangaroo. The action never stops and the story twists and turns like some twisty, turny thing. Is it ha-ha funny or strange funny? Both actually, you could go for the entertainment value or you could choose to write a paper on it, investigating the effects of higher education on the human mind. The cleverest sketch is “Green Eggs and Hamlet” a mixture of Dr. Suess and the bard(and when you
consider that some theorize that the Bard was actually Francis BACON, the underlying coherence of this becomes apparent). The funniest sketch involves the wise guy King Solomon and a song and dance routine featuring God. Ok, but is it art? With a capital H, man! with music, song, dance, painted backgrounds,high drama and low comedy it’s the closest thing to Wagner’s Gesmtkunstwerk you are likely to see in a long time. You can catch the show tonight(Fri.5th) at 7p.m. and/or later at 10p.m. There is also a show tomorrow(Sat.&h) at8p.m. They are all held in the Humanities Theatre in Hagey Hall. Tickets are $6.50. Last year they sold out so hurry and get yours!
