Dance Dept. meets its Waterloo (Senate) by Jeffkey
L. Millur
and Ken Bryson imprint staff The dance department’s hold on life became more tenuous Wednesday, as the Senate Finance Committee recommended the university’s budget be passed to the Senate for approval March 15. No modifications to allow extra monies for the dance department will be present in the budget. Theagenda for the Senatemeeting Monday evening contained a Notice of Motion from dean of Applied Health Sciences R.W. Norman, which motion read “. . .that the Dance Department admit no new students for the September 1993 term and at the same time commence a threeyear phase out of the degree programs.” A written statement accompanying the Notice said, in part, that “The motion above is, regretfully, forced by the limited options in the Faculty of Applied Health Studies to meet budget downsizing obligations and maintain, if not enhance, the viability of departments and programs central to the mission of the Faculty.” The statement went on to say that “The decision on cutback options becomes a choice between saving the Dance programs or severely weakening the graduate programs in all departments . . . and further weakening the Department of Health Studies.” No decision was reached at Monday’s Senate meeting, and the entire matter was referred to the Senate Finance Committee for consideration at Wednesday’s budget meeting. At that meeting, Dean of Environmental Studies Jeanne Kay moved that passage of the budget to Senate be tabled while representatives on the Finance Committee returned to their constituencies

Conrad Grebel College president Rod Sawatsky finds UW Senate meeting Monday night regarding the future to pursue “creative solutions” to the Dance dilemma. Graduate Student Association President Darren Meister, while stating that he had no official mandate from his constituency, also suggested a possible course of action wherein staff and faculty might take a smaller increase in salary, that of I.5 per cent. Early in the meeting, Meister rose to present an alternate budget overview that he and Federation of Students president Dave Martin had both worked on. Meister conveyed the reality that students are being forced to pay the price of falling university income through up to 10 per cent tuition hikes. Coupled with

The University of Waterloo is laying off 15 staff employees and reducing 75 staff and faculty positions by attrition and re-assignment as a result of the Ontario government’s decision to cancel a promised increase in operating grants. Calling the cutback “deep and painful,” Alan George, UW vicepresident (academic) and provost, announced the job losses in a campus memo circulated to UW faculty and staff. The layoffs will occur primarily in the library, computing services, data processing, faculty of science, and offices of the senior administration. “I deeply regret these job losses, and the impact they will have on the careers and personal lives of 15 members of the university family,” he said. “We will continue our efforts to achieve future budget reductions through attrition, and it is my sincere hope that, with the co-opera-

The University of Toronto Student AdministrativeCouncil (SAC) has bowed to mounting pressure from its constituent student councils and called a referendum on the Ontario Undergraduate Students Alliance (OUSA) for next fall. While the SAC claims they called the referendum to broaden OUSA’s mandate, each of the eight LJ of T Students Councils are calling for a membership referendum, and have passed motions to that effect. SAC president Farrah Jihna says that the SAC wants to “set down on paper” issues involving membership, voting, and a statement of principles. Arts and Science Student Union president Uma Sarkar, though, calls the SAC “irresponsible” for holding the referendum in the fall rather than during the SAC elections in March, which several campus councils had been calling for. The University College student council first called for a referendum last November. Calls for the referendum have been mostly based not on opposition to OUSA’s specific policies bu t, given the controversy surrounding those policies, the student councils feel OUSA must be put to the test of a referendum to gain legitimacy at UofT. OUSA’s main goal is to convert the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) into an income contingency based loans system where students would repay their tuition loans as a percentage of their income after graduation. OUSA is also calling for a tuition hike of thirty per cent over a three year period to implement such a new system.

Overall, university departments have cut spending by 1.5 per cent in the current fiscal year. Another 2.6 per cent will be trimmed in fiscal 1993-94. The 15 layoffs are in addition to planned cuts of at least 20 faculty
ated salary agreements. The combined cutbacks are taking a toll. “Students may experience delays in service, access to fewer courses and larger class sizes,” George said. “The university is gradually decreasing its enrolment to try. to preserve, to the extent possible, the quality of our students experience here, but that *

Premier Bob Rae announced February 12th that the province has approved measures aimed at improving the quality of college programs and making them more accessible. The Premier told a gathering of college presidents, board members and senior administrators that the government, through the Council of Regents, is creating a College Standards and Accreditationcouncil (CSAC). “The development of consistent standards across the system will promote public confidence in the quality of college programs,” Premier Rae said. Mr. Rae also said that establishing standards will mean students will be able to transfer what they learn from one school to another more easily. The Council will have the authority to define credentials, set standards, review and accredit pub-
licly-funded college programs. CSAC will also define vocational and generic skill standards, The generic skills will include mathematits, computer literacy, and analytical, interpersonal and communicaIn addition, starting tion skills. in September 1994, CSAC will ensure that each college postsecondary program will include a minimum of one genera1 education course of approximately 45 instructional hours in each semester. The College Standards and Accreditation Council will consist of 28 members representing the colleges, business, labourjuniversities, secondary schools, professional organizations and other groups. The-Council will report to Eduiation and Training Ginister Dave Cooke( Mr. Rae also told the group that the province will implement i system of prior learning assessment (PLA) for adult learners. He said many adults acquire skills and knowledge through work experience, community activities, volunteer work, and non-college and independent study. Through prior learning assessment, adult learners can have their learning evaluated and related to formal college courses. Using PLA, adult candidates who can demonstrate that they
have achieved the objectives of a given course may be given a formal college credit. “Having a system of prior learning assessment will enrich our colleges by making them-more accessible to a broad range of adult learners,” said Mr. Rae. Representatives of both external groups and the colleges will form an advisory reporting group, through the Council of Regents, to help guide the implementation of prior leaming assessment. Education and Training Minister Dave Choke applauded today’s announcement, adding that he was pleased with the progress that has been made since his predecessor announced the governlment’s interest in these issues last fall. “CSAC will ensure that standards remain current and relevant to both learners and employers,” said Mr. Cooke. “At the same time, a system of prior learning assessment will remove barriers that have kept some people from getting the training they need.” Funding for CSAC and PLA will come from a $3 million annual allocation set aside by the government in the 1991 Budget to find initiatives put forward in the Vision 2000 study on the college system.

‘I et’s fice it, bow many students on this cu*us give d shit &out Ecrst Timor?” -- overheard during CFS referendum campaign. After almost two years in my job, anyone is bound to get a bit crotchety. This prospect becomes even more likely when you start out being a cynical old bastard like myself. And it approaches an almost certainty when you spend that almost two years trying, with limited success, to provide a forum for debate on important issues. That’s right, it’s time again for that rant against student apathy. Based upon how many letters we get debating serious and long-range issues, it seems as though most of the undergraduates at the University of Waterloo don’t give a shit about much, other than graduating and getting a job (ironically, first on my to-do list about six weeks from now). Voter turnout in campus elections and referenda is a good gauge of interest in student politics and that has not changed much. About 21 per cent of you showed up for Federation of Students elections and the referendum on membership in the Canadian Federation of Students. That’s down a bit from the 22 per cent who voted last year, but considerably more than tie 17 per cent who voted two years ago. Of course, this year and last, the addition of a referendum question encouraged more people to go the polls. The pages of this forum section are another measure, however unscientific, of the political pulse of the campus, of the issues that consume the passions of students here. Geez, I hope not If so, there isn’t much that consumes anybody, except trotting out tired and worn arguments for or against the public display of women’s breasts or expressing disgust at some guying pissing against the bar at Fed Hall. Of course, letters to the editor are the ultimate democracy. What you write, we publish, unless it contains material that is libellous or otherwise sufficiently offensive. We simply don’t receive enough of them to have to edit or exclude many. During the CFS referendum campaign, many students wrote in professing interest in student politics, specifically Waterloo’s ability to influence provincial funding decisions. Some boiled the referendum down to a choice between CFS and the fledgling Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance. At the centre of the counter-attack against OUSA used by the proponents of CFS was criticism of an OUSA report that proposed hefty increases in tuition along with installation of an income-contingency loan repayment plan. The pros and cons of ICLRP were debated to some degree, but not until the campaign had already started. If the future of post-secondary funding is such an important issue, where were all of these terribly concerned students in the months leading up to the referendum? OUSA’s report was released last fall and, with the exception of Dave Martin, Davyd Funk, and myself, nobody on this campus sounded a peep about this plan. (Finally, this week, forum section regular Dave Thomson has chosen to examine and critique the ICLRP conceptJ imprint writers necessarily write about those things that interest them, so we tend to think of ourselves as leading student opinion. But this is the “forum” section, meaning that UW undergrads are as much the arbiters of what is interesting or important to debate on this campus. F&member that -- and contribute.
Dance is essential to university As a friend of mine likes to say, “the ice age is a-comin’.” It feels pretty chilly on campus these days, with thedance department on the verge of extinction. There’s a decidedly Darwinian tone to the financial arguments: it’s a time of hard realities; apologies are extended, but only the fittest can survive. Nothing personal, The Gu$&her would murmur confidentially, “just business.” And you can’t argue with that. Not on the same level, anyway. After all, if the passenger pigeon died out because home sapiens was smarter and faster, leaner and meaner, and this is an unpleasant fact but that’s just the way life is, then who cares that the passenger pigeon might have been saved if people had stopped shooting and eating them? And if the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences doesn’t have $300,000 to keep the dance department going, then it’s their problem, and who cares that UW is receiving half a million for repairs and renovations this
year, or that the university reported a $270,000 budget surplus, or that student contributions are funding the creation of a Student Life Building? Forget the way the Three Musketeers felt -- “one for all and all for one”. Forget the prefix “uni” in the word “university.” In fact, why are we paying tuition to one central body? Decentralize! Let the free market decide: students pay each teacher what they think he or she is worth. Tear down Fed Hall and South Campus Hall and the PAC and the Campus Centre, and let each department look out for its own. Students can join marauding gangs who sing songs like “When you’re a Mechanical Engineer” and “rumble” with other gangs like the Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures Dept. No, wait. This is silly. Let me start again. One of the reasons I came to Uw was it had a dance department. I had been a drama major at Bishop’s University, but it had not

The students (the 20% who felt compelled to vote) have decided to pull out of CFS. This result is not surprising, considering the deplorable way that the referendum was managed/mediated. A student government has no business taking sides on suchan important issue, It seems only logical that they should remain neutral and let the students campaign and decide for themselves. The Federation of Students should be ashamed of themselves. j. Jackson 3N Arts

I would like to respond to Thomas Andrews’ letter to the editor on February 5th. I am flattered that Mr. Andrews is such an ardent supporter of Travel Cuts. Travel Cuts prides itself on making travel affordable and on being able to give customers firsthand information on many places in the world. Having said that, there are a few details I would like to set straight. Yes, Travel Cuts is owned by the Canadian Federation of Students. You do not however have to be a student at a school that belongs to CFS to use us. The Waterloo office has been here for over 6 years which is well before the undergraduates of the University of Waterloo voted into CFS as full members 2 years ago. In fact, Travel Cuts is open to every member of the community, students or not, CFS or not. In addition to everything a regular travel agency can offer we also have special student airfares which are generally
gone well.
After a university only _a third . - --of_the size of Wilfrid Laurier (I’m serious), U W impressed me with its diversity. There was a teensy film studies program, architecture, optometry, and unusual faculties like environmental studies and, ironically, applied health sciences. Anything was possible. Well, 1 ended up in Drama again, but that’s not the point. I had a good time for a little while, thinking “anything is possible,” and taking a lot of film and psychology courses. 1 also took one dance class. And isn’t that, to a very real extent, what university is for? A little like the Statue of Liberty: “Give us your tired, your hungry, your poor”? My mother, who spent her high school career hiding in movie matinees and the next couple of decades cowering at home in front of the TV, Summoned up the courage to pursue a bachelor’s degree in sociology at the age of 43.

Eclitor cheaper and/or more flexible than most ordinary airfares. Some of these airfares require an International Student Identity Card (ISIC) which is free to CFS members and $15.00 to non-CFS members as long as they are full-time students. As well as these reduced airfares the ISIC card enables students to get discounts on many services in Canada and around the world. CFS members applying for the Student Work Abroad Program (SWAP) receive a 15”/0 rebate on their registration fee but again all full-time students are eligible provided they fit the other criteria set by the country they apply to. By the time this letter appears we will all know whether UW students decided YES or NO in the great CFS debate. On behalf of myself and all staff at Travel Cuts in Waterloo, I invite you all to visit us whatever the outcome and we will do our best to get you the best possible price on your next trip. We’re here for the duration and look forward to helping you. Ellen Sitler-Bates Manager, Travel

OUSAk ICLRP will make students pay more Unlike so many other temporal concerns concocted by the media or interest groups, the issue of university and student underfunding is, as most readers are likely aware, a very real one. Since the Sixties, students and political leaders of all flavours have been abusing the word accessibility by constantly applying it to the educational system. They must be given some credit, though, as it is obvious their efforts have allowed more people to enter post-secondary institutions. With their acknowledgement of the elitist nature of universities, it was necessary to try to put others of academic worth on a more equal footing with the more wealthy students. As well as the development of the OntarioStudentsAssistanceProgram(OSAP), Ontario students helped form both a provincial and federal student organization to collectively represent students enrolled in postsecondary institutions; the Canadian Federation of Students and the Ontario Federation of Students. Waterloo students voted to withdraw from CFS earlier this month, and withdrew from OFS last year at this time, during the Federation of Student elections. Given the low turnout of voters in both cases, it is hard to accept these decisions as representative of Waterloo. Considering that the turnout was substantially higher than for the actual Federation elections, though, it at least demonstrates the level of student concern with respect to the funding issue. It is also puzzling that, at a point in time when the prolificacy and success of lobby groups is reaching a breaking point, university students at Waterloo and elsewhere vote to discontinue their membership in both of the groups representing “student” issues. In response to a perceived failing of these organizations to adequately deal with the funding issue, former Waterloo Federation president John Leddy and some other student government leaders at Ontario universities created something called the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), having dropped the the word “Funding” from the group’s name sometime last year so people wouldn’t think it was dwelling solely on the funding issue which is currently a predominant feature of the obfuscatory text. OUSA also rolls off the tongue easier than OUSFA. At first glance, however, it would appear that OUSA is not actually an alliance in the common sense of the word, but simply a funding proposal. Consider the title of their November 1992 proposal, “Students for Change: Access, Student Aid and Financial Recovery for Post Secondary Education in Ontario.” Either way, student governments involved in OUSA hail from Brock, Queen’s, theUniversityofToronto(Part-timestudent’s association and the Student‘s Administrative Council), Wilfred Laurier, and Waterloo.

The “Partnership Funding Proposal” is laden with the bland vagueness contained in the English language that is mastered by most , successful political leaders, but at its centre is a concern with offering a plan for the “longterm recovery of the province’s ailing system of higher education.” This is to be accomplished by raising tuition ten per cent a year for three consecutive years, to be matched by the government, dollar for dollar, according to the proposal. The authors would like to see money materialize from the private sector as well, via a system of “corporate educational training levies,” whereby corporations of a certain size must direct a portion of their profits toward education. As always, “Active pursuit of university based research initiatives” is encouraged. OUSA has also borrowed from the current political rage of tagging some importantsounding phrases about “accountability” on the end of their statement. Consider the last paragraph of their executive summary, arguably the most indicative of the vaccuous statements infesting the report: “OUSA recommends the following: Universities undertake systematic, comprehensive and rigorous evaluations of departments, schools, and faculties; that they allow for greater accountability for decisions of faculty appointments, and; that they take measureable steps to reduce the high attrition rates among those already within the system.” Fine. And I recommend that we all try to get along better; (and in the spirit of improper usage of the semicolon); that we all try our darndest to clean up the environment. Presto! Problem solved. On a similar level of profoundness, I will state that “I think injustice is bad.” In all fairness though, the report’s authors do lay down specific dollar figures when it comes to proposed tuition increases. Indeed, if OUSA is dedicated to any one goal, it is to see that students pay more for their education. And yes, free trade can most definitely be linked to the trend of students paying more cash for less education. If Canada is to compete with the U.S., our educational system must also shift toward the U.S. model, the lower common denominator. OUSA is not currently set Up, as are most other interest groups seeking funds, to question the government spending of money on, say, new helicopters instead of [insert politically correct cause here]. The Income Contingent Loan Repayment Plan (ICLRP) initially appears to be a bright idea, but upon actually reading the proposal, it very closely resembles a credit card approach to the problem. NO MONEY DOWN! NO INTEREST! NO PAYMENTS AT ALL UNTIL YOU EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO BE STRUGGLING UNDER CAR AND HOUSE PAYMENTS! ONLY IN ONTARIO! Incurring debt to purchase houses, cars, furniture and other commodities has actually become a respectable thing to do in the last 30

realize she had a brain; she proceeded to divorce my father, move to the big city, find a career, and transform her life. Knowledge is power. She isn’t using her degree directly, and she isn’t making money, but she’s happy. And that’s what I associate with university. A kinder, gentler institution. A shelter. A place to exchange ideas, But if dance is pushed out, then where is that freedom of expression? Drama could be next, if that department became less fit than others. Or fine arts, or the minuscule film program within fine arts. And in a financial crisis, what are ways of thinking worth?

or so years, and now we are also graciously allowed to purchase education on credit. Ironically, contained within that same proposal are studies showing that abolishment of tuition fees in Australia and low tuition rates in Qu*bec have had no discernable affect whatsoever on the socio-economic make-up of undergraduates (read: “accessibility” has not increased). Why then, is OUSA lobbying to increase the cost of education, to all parties? Under ICLRP, repayment of your increasingly expensive loan-purchased education is to be “calculated as a percentage of taxable income,” and is therefore incomecontingent. If, after earning above-average income for 15 years you have still not paid off this debt, it is forgiven. It is not made clear what purpose is served by increasing both the cost of tuition and the amount of credit extended to students. I must agree that this is certainly a fairer approach than the current one, but violently disagree with the assumption that students should go into debt to receive an education. I believe it was CFS that promoted the slogan that “Education is a right.” Should we really be concerned with how much money can be squeezed out of students during and after their post-secondary education? Should perpetual debt, the inevitable result of applying the credit card approach to absolutely everything, be our goal? A true focus on quality of education, which appears to be “in” these days as more and more comparative studies expose the flaws of Canada’s educational system on all levels, would result in drastically decreased tuition fees and vastly increased grants (and some loans). Most students who attend university, unless exceptionally well-off, have to work one or more part-time jobs to make ends meet. And as wages decrease and tuition costs increase, both in constant-dollar terms, professors will have no choice but to continue decreasing the academic demands put on students, as they will be increasingly prioritizing financial matters over scholastic ones. A professor once showed me his grading booklet from the 1960-61 year, which revealed that no less than a full quarter of the class failed his course, and a scant few received an A. These percentages were normal at Waterloo at that time but, as he put it, can you imagine the response from students and administration if such grades were handed out today? Are you concerned that nearly everyone passes their courses these days, or do you assume everyone has simply become much smarter? I’m not asking for “something for nothing”. I’d like to think that we contribute quite a lot culturally, economically, and otherwise to our county and the corporations for whom we work the rest of our lives. This assumption is far less controversial, in my opinion, than the belief that we should incur debt to realize that assumption. Duve

The ecological anarchism of Murray Bookchin by
Phi//ip

Imprint
On a cool autumn Saturday last September, I took the only bus heading for Burlington, Vermont from Montreal. The Green Mountain state deserves its moniker, with its rolling hills pulling me away from my book, offering me a tempting visual spectacle. As it was my first trip to the United States, my anxiety rose to my throat as we approached the border crossing. Our line-up at U.S. Customs was annoying, especially to the woman behind me. After I heard her mumbling in frustration, I chanced to say, “It’s like a police state, isn’t it?” She laughed and we began chatting about the cultural implications of being American and Canadian. She was a Boston native now living in Montreal and loving it. She said she was very ashamed of her country (and didn’t need me to corroborate this). Just until recently, U.S. Customs used to have a blacklist of people they deemed threats to national security - communists really - whom they wouldn’t let into their country. I wondered what it would be like to find myself on such a list, though there was no reason for me to be on it. I would be in the distinguished company of names such as Canadian Arctic naturalist Farley Mowat or my friend Dimitri Roussopoulos, an anarchist and Canadian publisher of Noam Chomsky’s books. I thought about these things with some purpose. I was going to meet Murray Bookchin in person and spend the weekend with him. Bookchin’s theoretical works have rofoundly shaped my political 73eliefs for the past two years, and the thought of
meeting my intellectual mentor made me feel like a groupie in search of a guru. Bookchin’s influence has only recently made an impact within the North American Green movement, although he’s been active in ecology movements for over 40 years, publishing a booklength essay on the problems of chemicals in the food supply almost a decade before Rachel Carson’s Silenf Spritig. What makes Bookchin more than a mere environmentalist is his strong conviction that the ecological crisis we are mired in is not simply fixed by reforming consumerist behaviour or greening our technologies and corporations but that it will entail a profound b reak from the economic and state structures we take as givens. That the elimination of a capitalist economy is not enough is a serious consideration many activists give little thought to. For Bookchin, our societies, especially in the West, are based on the real domination of men over women and men over other men. This real fact is a product of social hierarchies and precedes the notion of man dominating nature. This is an important theoretical position because it emphasizes the social roots of many of our modem ills, from ecological disaster to economic ruin to the hindrance of freedom, and corrects the undue attention many people give to abstractions like humanity, free markets, and big government. Bookchin has spent most of his life educating himself and others. His intellectual roots were in Marxism and Trotskyism, but by the 1950s he had abandoned these positions in favour of an ecological formulation of his ideas. By the mid-1960s, he realized an affinity of his ideas with those
of the classical anarchists such as Kropotkin. His essays and books in the 1970s and 1980s acknowledge a debt to the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, the American democracy of the 18th century, Hegel and Marx. By now, one cannot categorize Bookchin as a neo-this or that, but an important thinker in his own right. He is what you might call a social ecologist. He writes: “Social ecolo is a fairly integrated and co Q erent viewpoint that encompasses a philosophy of natural evolution and of humanity’s place in that evolutionary process; a reformulation of dialects along ecolo ical lines fi.e., transcending bot a Hegel and Marx]; an account of the emergence of hierarchy; a historical examination of the dialectic between legacies and epistemologies of domination and freedom; an evaluation of technolo from a historical, ethical and p K ‘losophical standpoint; a wideranging critique of Marxism, the Frankfurt School, justice, rationalism, scientism, and instrumentalism; and finally an eduction of a vision of a utopian, decentralized, confederal, and aesthetically grounded future society based on an objective ethics of complementari ty .” On my way home to Montreal, I began reading his book, The Spanish Anarchists, This book is now out of print, but he gave me one of his copies. I realized that this was my connection to the 19th century, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll be somebody’s link to the 20th century. At 72 and in ailing health, Murray may participate in his last lecture session this smmer at the Institute for Social Ecology. For more information, write to ISE, P.O.

Competition would help universities by Luke Young und Paul Bridger
The recent opposition to York University’s bid to be the permanent campus for the ISU (International Space University) raises questions about the viability and ethics of private universities in Canada. At present, we enjoy low tuition and equal opportunity for both rich and poor. We also have to ut up with overcrowding, un B erfunding, restrictions on direction, and our overnment a playing politics wit grants. Oneneednotabandonfunding for universities which already exist, but merely allow the opportunity for private universities to establish themselves. There would be no cost to us; no tax money would be given to support them. One might argue that the universities so created would be too intimate with industry and suffer from industrial directives. Is that such a bad thing? People would be constantlybeeducated in issues which concern us now or in the future -- instead of waiting around until the curriculum is approved. Thus, with their own money, universities would be allowed the freedom of direction to persue their own concerns. And, if you don’t like the university, don’t go. On the topic of student funding, one might think that the tuition at Caltech ($11,000 US.) is so extravagant1 high that only a few could a Yford it. How, then, .
do people et an education in the States? Eit 1 er their parents plan for it in advance (a little forethought never hurt anyone) or there is more money available to students than at first glance. To quote from a brochure published by MIT, “MIT turns no student away for financial reasons . . . if you are admitted to MIT, we will make every attempt to help you afford it through financial aid.” TheaveragegrantatMITis$7,500. Almost half of the cost of all expenses ($18,000 - $20,000). With the tax reforms proposed in our previous article, this would be readily affordable. Those of you who are familiar with MIT’s reputation may raise the argument that privatization will lead to elitism. Maybe; but not everyone is cut out for university. Besides, how did MIT get it’s reputation in the first place? Certainly not by funding mediocre students. Why are there those who still violently oppose the spirit of competition? Are they the same people who will benefit from dragging the best down to their level? Are they the same people who do ’ not want the responsibility of educating their children but prefer state sponsorship to shoulder the burden? Are they the same people who cannot discard their narrow opinions to let the pros and cons decide which university to choose? We are in a position where state regulation stifles personal initiative and our ability to exercise it. In the real world, we’re going to need it. A

Plague to meet Mac in West final showdown
Just one win away from nat ionals by Rich lmpfint
Nichol sports
The Black Plague volleyball Warriors are just one win away from their fourth trip to the nationals in the past five years. But before they can pack their bags for Edmonton to be among the eight most elite teams in Canadian volleyball, the Warriors have one huge hurdle to jump: the McMaster Marauders. This Saturday at 2 p.m. the two OUAA West powerhouses will clash in the division final in Hamilton. McMaster, currently ranked fifth in the CIAU top ten, clinched the pennant with an 11-1 win-loss record in league play. Their only loss was a 32 defeat at the hands of the mighty Plague in Waterloo last November. McMaster won the rematch at home in straight sets this past month. Waterloo finished second in the division at 8-4, while the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks and the Western Ontario Mustangs (both 75) clinched the remaining playoff spots, finishing third and fourth respectively. A wrench was thrown into McMaster’s wheel earlier this month when middle hitter Barry Teplicky, one of the team’s most consistent starters, quit the team. Reasons for quitting were not disclosed. The Marauders had a huge gap to fill but their depth at the position nullified the loss. The bottom line is that this will be one of the closest West division finals in recent years. Uw head coach Scott Shantz voiced a relaxed view of the upcoming match. “There is no pressure on us heading into Mac,” saidshantz. “We finished second, we are the underdogs, and they are first and have all the marquee players. But we have

battle the York Yeomen in the East division final in North York (also Saturday at 2 p.m.). The two divi-
sional winners, which receive automatic berths at the nationals, will clash in the OUAA championship for provincial bragging rights. The East representative will host the OUAAs on Saturday February 27. Waterloo advanced to the divisional finals with a convincing sweep of Laurier this past Tuesday at the PAC 15-12, 15-10, 15-12 before a strangely large reading week crowd of 900 fans. McMaster drubbed Western in the other semifinal bout 3-O (15-7,16-14, 15-4) in Smogville. Warrior top guns Rene Holt and Jon Tenthorey paced the scoring with 21 points apiece. Rookie Pete Denison backed up his extraordinary defensive skills with a fine performance on offence. The rookie middle player registered a game high 53 percent attack efficiency, landing eight kills on 15 attempts, while two-time OUAA first-team all-star Shawn Smith (who is UW Athlete of the Week this week) put on another textbook setting display at 91 percent efficiency. Jeff Fallows and Chris Borden topped the Golden Hawks stats sheet with 19 points each. “We worked really hard in the back row and that always makes you happy ‘as a coach when your team does that,” said Shantz after the win. “The guys showed that they are really hungry to go to the nationals again. We’re playing like we did at the Dalhousie Toumament against the big teams and that is a great boost going into the West final.” Waterloo got off to a great start withfineexecutiononoffence,while the Golden Hawks had two straight missed serves. Holt (4’2”), going one-on-one with Todd Dougherty, smashed the first of many over the
top of the 5’11” setter and onto the hardwood for an early 4-l lead. Great digging expanded the lead to 7-3 before the first Laurier timeout and 11-3 before the second. The Plague set up game point at 14-4 with two huge stuffs: the first on a dump by Dougherty and the second on Sinisha Dordevic, the OUAA West rookie of the year. Dordevic was silenced to only 16 points all evening. But then Water loo had a huge intensity lapse. Expecting the Hawks to just hand over the set, the Warriors were denied game point nine times before finally taking the opener 15-2 after 30 minutes. Game two was much closer with several long rallies to excite the Warrior faithful. The black and gold had the early edge, 9-5, with great passing by captain Mike Fullerton, huge stuff blocks by Denison, and an unstoppable arsenal by Holt at the net and Tenthorey from the back court. Laurier slowed the momentum temporarily and knotted the game at 10 apiece. But quick reactions by Perry Strauss at the net and two fine recoveries by Smith clinched a 1510 win. There were four lead changes in the third set. After a flurry of sideouts, Laurier capitalized first and took an early 4-2 lead. Despite a see-saw series of errors, the Plague clawed back to take a 9-8 advantage+ Two straight aces by Holt forced WLU head coach Don Smith to give his players a wake-up call. Six plays later, a huge save by Smith and another suicide dig by Fullerton earned the biggest point of the game at 12-10 and the resulting thunderous ovation gave the Plague the backing to ice the match.

IceWarriorswarmingupfor playoffs by Peter lmpfint
Brown spofts
With the nationally fourthranked Warrior hockey team’s 9-3 win over the Windsor Lancers last weekend, tonight’s (Friday, February 19) tilt between UW and the fourth-place WesternMustangs will not affect either team’s playoff seeding. But neither team wants to head into next week’s playoffs with a loss. Last Sunday’s win over the Lancers clinched third place in the OUAA West division for the Warriors. Cross-town rivals the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks clinched second place with a x-x victory at home against the Brock Badgers on Wednesday night. Waterloo can still tie Laurier in points, but would have one less victory, thus giving Laurier the tie-breaker. The Lancers lead the Brock Badgers by one point for the sixth and final OUAA West playoff spot. If they can hold on, they will travel to the Icefield for a qutirterfinal playoff game next Tuesday, February 23 at 7~30 p.m. That same night, the Mustangs will probably host the Laurentian Voyageurs in the other quarterfi-
nal, although Windsor, three points back of Laurentian, can still overtake them for fifth. The Warriors swept the Lancers this season, winning 9-3 last weekend in Windsor and 7-4 at Columbia Icefield back on November 27,1992. In their last playoff meeting, three years ago, Waterloo beat Windsor two games to one in the divisional semi-final. By virtue of their first and second-place finishes, the 16-4-l Guelph Gryphons and 14-5-l Hawks receive byes to the best-ofthree semi-final round, set to start next Thursday, February 25. If the Warriors win Tuesday night, they will hike over to the Bubble, Waterloo Arena, to play the Hawks on Thursday or Friday. The nationally fifth-ranked Gryphs clinched first-place and home ice advantage on Sunday with a 16-2 thrashing of perennial doormat RhK. Despite their regular season performance, the Hawks are still not ranked. In the OUAA East, the 15-4-l Toronto Varsity Blues cling to a one-point lead over the 15-5-O Ottawa Gee Gees. The Blues and Gee Gees are ranked third and seventh in Canada respectively* Each team
has two games remaining in its schedule. Last Sunday in Windsor, the line of Jason Mervyn, Jamie Hartnett, and Greg Allen did all the offensive damage the Warriors would need in their 9-3 victory over the Lancers.
The three players totalled six goals and 14 points (Mervyn three goals and two assists, Hartnett two and three, and Allen one and three). Bill Whistle, Troy Stephens, and Barry Young scored the other Waterloo goals.

This past week saw the Warrior’s basketball team add another win and post another loss, bringing their record to 6-7, and putting them in fifth place in the OUAA West division. Last Saturday’s game in the PAC saw the Warriors defeat the cellar-dwelling Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 78-71. Wednesday night’s game against the Purple Satan was a resounding defeat for the Warriors who, after leading midway through the first half by 11 points (is this like d&ja vu or what), lost the lead and were slowly and painfully defeated by the ‘Stangs 93-80 in London. Waterloo continues to play short-handed, with Alex Urosevic still on the bench nursing a foot injury. Despite his injury and gaining only threepointsinthegameagainst the Guelph footcrushers two Wednesdays ago, Urosevic is still ranked third in divisional scoring averaging 20.1 points per game. He is joined this week by Sean VanKoughnett at number five, averaging 19.3 points per game. Along with VanKoughnett, the rest of the team have raised their level of play in an admirable attempt to compensate for the lost points from Urosevic, with notable performances coming from freshman point guard B. J. York, and third-year veteran Dave Lynch, both averaging in the double digits in the last two games. Despite moving up a notch or two on the intensity scale, the Warriors couldn’t pull it together to defeat the skanky ‘Stangs who were hell bent on revenge for their loss to Waterloo just a few short weeks ago. Waterloo’s scoring was led off with a trey from Lynch, who put Waterloo’s first five points on the board. VanKoughnett broke his three-point slump, firing off two from treyland in the space of 20 seconds. Waterloo pulled ahead by 11 points halfway through the first act with a score of 28-17, but were outscored 12-2 in the next four min-
Waterloo clawed back in front with another trey from Lynch, cool-headed shooting from the charity stripe by York and Lynch, and a duet of field goals from Gahan Richardson, leaving the half-time score 46-41 in Waterloo’s faVOUT. Satan’s S p a w n ‘Stangs tied it upat48points

After a slow first half, posting only six points, Western’s shooting star, guard Mike Lynch, woke up and dominated the second half, posting 23 points for a game total of 29.
The ‘Stangs defence left Waterloo with little to work with, but the Warriors pulled ahead once more by seven points, again with successful free throws and another trey from VanKoughnett. A shot from beyond treyland from Hardy Boy number 12, the evil SteveKing, tied thescoreat65points each, halfway through the second act. Western took the lead soon after never to relinquish it. Waterloo, desperate for control, got themselves into foul trouble, letting the ‘Stangs score 12 of their final 15 points from the charity stripe. Top scorer for Waterloo was VanKoughnett with 24 points and 6 rebounds. Close behind was Lynch with 18 points. Also in double-digits was York with 13 points, nine of those in the second half.

rebounds and putting 9 points on the board. Richardson and Bruce VanLooneach added 6 points to the team total with Mark Hopkins contributing 4 points. InSaturday’s gameat the PAC, the Warriors combatted Laurier’s Hawks in a game so physical, it sparked debate on whether or not there was a Vegas Line on postgame bouts. The Warriors, in their first full game sans Urosevic, were a little
disorganized at first, alIowing Laurier to stay within a few points for the first half of the game. Laurier sent VanKoughnett to the charity stripe three times in the first eight minutes of play, five times in the half, where he garnered 9 points. After an obvious intentional ‘aimed to maim’ foul against VanKoughnett, Waterloo swallowed a dose of nasty pills and set about trying to wreak havoc against Laurier, Waterloo finished the half just 2 points ahead of the Hawks with
a score of 37-35. Waterloo came out stronger in the second half, staying ahead of Laurier, never allowing them to tie it up. The play of the game came seven minutes into the second half when VanICoughnett whipped the crowd into a frenzy plucking a rebound from a zillion miles above the basket and slammed it with a hand to spare. This put Waterloo ahead by 10 board points and a thousand prestige points.
Three minutes later, another Warrior play put style points on the board with a full court lob from York to Hopkins, who put it down before Laurier could even track the ball. At this point Waterloo led by 12 points with 9 minutes left to play. Treys from Lynch and York helped maintain the lead until Laurier brought it to within 4 points with 4 minutes remaining in the game. Waterloo went ahead again by 12 points with less than a minute left in the half. Laurier sank two within the last 30 seconds, the final basket a trey with only 4 seconds on the clock. Top scorer for Waterloo was VanKoughnett with a phenomenal 29 points, shooting 13 of 16 from the charity stripe.

Volleyball A thenas storm
back for playoff berth by Frank Seglenieks lmpfint staff
I guess it was appropriate that the playoff hopes for this year’s Athena volleyball team would be decided by the outcome of a couple of five-game matches on the last day of the regular season. Last Friday in the PAC, Waterloo defeated the tough Western Mustangs by scores of 15-11,15-12, 9-15,5-15 and 15-11, keeping their playoff hopes alive. However, the defeat of the Windsor Lancers at the hands of the hapless Laurier Golden Hawks in five games was what caused Waterloo to end up in fourth place in the OWIAA west division with a 7-7 record. As a result, the Athenas have qualified for the OWIAA final tournament which features the top four teams in each division. The toumament will be held next weekend at Carleton University. In the first game of last Friday’s match, an early lead by Western was eliminated by seven straight service points by power hitter Nicky Campbell. Waterloo kept up the pressure by hitting well and getting some debateable calls from the referee. The Mustangs got close at one point, closing the score to I l-9; however, a show-stopping kill by power hitter Sue Bylsma quieted down the visitors and helped Waterloo to a 14-l 1 lead. On the Athena’s fourth game service, middle hitter Carren Hall made a great save which was then
converted by Michelle VanVliet to give the game to Waterloo. The second game was a neckand-neck battle which again featuring great hitting by the Athena squad. In particular, Bylsma had a remarkable game recording 8 of her 14 kills. Western got ahead 12-9 late in the game, however the ever-persistent Athenas took the game a point at a time, and managed to get the next six points to win the game and leave Western scratching their heads about losing such an important lead. Another close battle surfaced in the third game, but this time when Waterloo was down late in the game, they weren’t able to mount a comeback. A scare was also sent through the home crowd when setter Christine Harrison limped away from an attempted dig. This looked like a flashback to last year when setter Katrina Englebrecht was injured halfway through the season. Luckily, after sitting out a few points, Harrison was able to resume her setting duties. However, this wasnotenoughasWesternwonthe game 15-9. Western showed why they are one of the top teams in the OWIAA West in game four by easily handing the Athenas. After the score was tied at five, Waterloo could not stop the Mustangs from methodically adding to their lead and taking the game 15-5. So the Athena’s season came down to one rally point game. The game moved quickly through its
early stages, with Western gaining an important two-point lead, but this was as much as they got, as the blocking combination of Hall and Campbell came through three times on a single play to give Waterloo a serve, a point, and a fighting chance. Some timely hitting by Hall then gave us the lead going into the final stretch and a missed hit by Western put an end to this epic battle: Water100 15, Western 11. The team then had to wait for the end of the Laurier-Windsor game to see if their season would continue. Luckily, the Golden Hawks played above themselves and narrowly defeated the Lancers by scores of 15-12, 15-13, W-15, 515, 15-10. The OWIAA West finished off with Lakehead on top, followed by Western, Brock, and then Waterloo. The match last Friday was also the final home game for three members of the Athenas, these being middle hitters Michelle VanVliet, Carren Hall, and team manager Jocelyn Diamonon. All three are graduating from kinesiology this term. Also graduating will be Englebrecht who was not on this year’s squad as a cause of last year’s injury, but was been an important member of the squad before this. So the Athenas will make the journey to the playoffs with their first game against the top team in the Eastern Division, the 10-O York Yeowomen, a team which has lost only one game this season. Look for full details of their results in TWO weeks in the Imprint.

Last weekend, 13 swimming Athenas made the trek to our snowy nation’s capital to face Ontario’s finest at the OWIAA championships. Competin against 15 teams, ranging in size Hram one to 20 swimmers, Waterloo found themselves in the middle of the pack, finishing in sixth place, with 197 points. En route, two UW records were broken(onetwice!), 16swimsmade the all time top 10 lists, and 80 per cent of all swims were season bests. After travelling seven hours withGuelph toottawa, the Athenas promptly hopped in the pool Friday night for a short workout, helping acquaint themselves with Carleton’s six-lane pool. The OWIAA champs consumed all of Saturday and Sunday, with preliminary heats in the mornings and the top 18 swimmers of each event returning for their finals in the afternoons. This roved to be a very exhausting or B eal, and yet the ex erienced and novice Athenas cope cf wonderfully. “This was their first two-da , all-day meet, with relims and Pinals -- it got toug K , and we got goin ,?’ head coach Cartlidge said. i3n Saturday, the2OObackevent found both Trish Felszegi and Maureen Hurren in the top 18, as were Melissa Williams and Jen Beatty in the 50 breast. In the morning, Amy Jarvis swam to a UW record in the 100 Fly, and broke it a ain at night in her 1:06.58 thirdp Bace finish. Corrie Powell accompanied Jarvis to the finals with two season best times, finishing eighth. Only minutes after her record-breaking 100 fly, Jarvis launched herself to another UW record, this time in the 200 individual medley, with a time of 2:28.17. Both her 100 fly and ZOO IM times qualified her to join Sheryl Slater at the CIAU chatipionships in March. Williams, Beatty, and Kara Rice confirmed their s ots on the UW all-time top-ten Pist for the 200 breaststroke event. Williams and Beatty returned for second swims in that event, managing season bests again, finishing 11th and 16th respectivel . The rast individual event of the day, was Slater’s 800 free, in which she swam to a season best time of 9:27.27 which put her in fifth place.

teams would earn a berth in the championship pool, the Athenas lost to powerful McMaster by a 5-O count. Only two Waterloo players managed double wins in the consolation pool. At position five, a strong and reliable Susan Jones defeated her Ryerson and Western opponents 30, overwhelming them with her finesse and power. Team captain Christine Anderson defeated her Ryerson opponent 3-O and then met Western’s Andrea Baptiste for the fifth time this year. They had split the previous four matches with two wins apiece. This match lasted over an hour, with Anderson’s many early unforced errors putting her in a hole, down two games to none and losing 8-4 in the third. She turned the match around to outlast Baptiste in
the fifth game 9-5, winning the match 3-2. Honee Hoculik, Alicia Lok, and Heather MacLeod each contributed one win against their Ryerson opponents. Marielle Baer, playing at the number-six position, showed that she is ready to help the team next year by posting an impressive 3-l victory over her McMaster opponent and crushing her Ryerson foe 3-o. The team wishes to thank coach Dave Dietrich and Jamie Allen for their patience, enthusiasm, and technical help throughout the year. The Athenas also wish to thank head coach Chico Silvestri for his years of leadership and guidance, and wish him all the best in his retirement from coaching as he gets to spend more time with his young family.
At night, Felszegi, Beatty, Williams, and Slater combined to bring home the 4-by-100 Medley relay for tenth place, worth 14 points. On Sunday, Powell was good for fourth place in the 50 fl with a time of 30.79 seconds. TE( is was promptly followed by Slater’s sixthplace finish in the 400 free, with a time of 4:37.41. These swims put Powell and Slater in third place on the respective UW top-ten lists. Felszegi was good for 12th place in the 100 back final, strokin to her season’s best time of 1: 11.5 f . In the 100 breast, Williams, Beatty, and Rice all had second swims, finishing in 9th, Ilth, and 15th places respectively, ood for 17 points. The 200 a y event found team veteran Powell and rookie Jarvis swimming their season’s best times. Powell’s 2:33.68 was good for 15th place, and Jarvis’ 2:26.79 found her in sixth, only seven one-hundredths of a second off the 1984 UW record I SPORTS INJURIES
of 2:26:72! Felszegi and Rice swam to top18 finishes in the 50 back, rallyin another four points for the team. 1f more points were hauled in by Slater’s sixth place finish in the 400 IM. By Sunday night, Slater, Jarvis and Powell combined for 111 of the teams’ 197 oints. Powel P, Hurren, Felsze i, and Jarvis combined for anot k er 24 oints in the 4-b -100 freestyle rePay, to finish of 7 the meet with a bang late Sunday night. Personal bests were seen by rookies Janet Duga, Gillian McDowell, Diana Dampier, Natalie Serkin and Marcela Garzon, to finish off the season.

Say, we know that all you avid Imprint readers must be asking yourselves, “just how fast is the UW track and field team?” How about fast enough to run 31 personal best performances at a single track meet? Not just any ordinary meet, mind you - this was a competition of international calibre, hosted by the prestigious Ivy League School, Cornell University. Yes, among the contingent of Canadian Schools present, UW was represented in fine form by our lightning fast and strong Athenas and Warriors. Brent McFarlane, (the most famous “gazelle wearing” coach) of the UW track UW~Z team, attributes the team’s success to both competent administrative personal and the experience of intemational competition. The last two years of UW track and field have seen an explosion of interest and participation within the team. In previous years, the pinnacle perfgrmance has been $9 personal bests, achieved by the team in the 1990-91 season. Thanks to the interest and generous support of Don McCrae (men’s interuniversity athletics coordinator), the team th@ season has surpassed that record with a startltik 101 personal bests so far and the@ are &ill three meets left this season. An improved budget, accommodations, and transportation to meets have all been key factors in the UW track and field team’s revived heart and soul. McFarlane also applauds the new face of UW track, sported on the body parts of the ever-hardworking Athena and Warrior athletes everyday around campus. A dedicated group of captains and an excellent pair of managers (Shawn McDerrmott and Rod McInnis) have worked hard at making an identit-v tobe reckoned with, for Ug track and field team: The impressive array of team sweats, shirts, hats, shoes, etc., along with the sheer numbers of athletes involved in the team, have contributed greatly to team spirit and identity. Secondly, McFarlane credits the team’s success to highlevel competition, found at &ch meets as Cornell last weekend. Competing in the USA, with unknown competition, allows each athlete the opportunity to find his or her actual potential. A prime example is our men’s 4-by-40O-metre relay team. With only one veteran runner able to compete (for various reasons which will be covered later), rookies were brought into the limelight of a potential CIAU team and just missed qualifyingatCIAUstandardbyfractions of a second, yet again. The team’s cohesiveness is truly commendable, but, credit is al&due to Brent McFarlane and his coaching staff of John Swarbrick and Tim Mussar. Without the guid-
cal moves. Brown was holding his own in the long jump and t>ple jump. The men’s 4-by-400-metre relay again made a startling show. After sickness had claimed one team member (the irreplaceable and horrendously fast Simon Foote) and the 4-by-800-metre claimed another two, the 4-by-400-metre team was left in the hands of two rookies (Chris Bastie and Trevor Francis), a football convert (Gord Fawcett), and a broken-down veteran (Brent Forrest). With the support of their team comrades spread evenly around the track to cheer them on, this team of misfits created PBS across theboard. Yet again the team narrowly missed the CIAU standard by a mere half a

McKenzie, Crazy Cressman, and Kregg Fordyce, to a third-place finish. The time ran by the 4-by-800metre team ranks them fourth in Canada. With another chance, the team will be sure to qualify for CIAU championship held in SkyDome at the beginning of March. Thomas Jay McKenzie took the competition by surprise with an amazing run in the 80O-metres of 1:56:6, placing him a very respectable seiond date overall: Thepri&eof high jumping here at UW, Karl Zabjek, once again put on a good jumping show this weekend, finishing third overall, with a jump of 2.03 metres, narrowly missing the winning height of 2.08 metres. Zabjek’s showing was exceptional, given the disabling injury which he incurred during warmups while walking to the high-jump pit. The man with the moves, Rodney Brown, was jumping horizontal compared to Zabjek’s verti-

His performance for the Warriors was astounding as he cleared 4.5 metres in the”pole vault, good enough to get Miller a third-place finish. He is currently ranked fourth in Canada and looking forward to competing at the OUAA finals in two weeks and CIAU finals in March. Our Athena team was once again led by the outstanding performance of veteran fourth-year power house sprinter Jane Taite. Taite PBed in both the 55-metre hurdles and sprint. Her secondplace finish in the hurdles was fast enough to break her own varsity record set in 1992. Fellow hurdler Alicia Steele finally got a long-awaited breakthrough, running an amazing 8.67 seconds, narrowly missing the Canadian standard time by seven onehundredths of a second. Also hurdling “after” the girls team was the omniootent Shawn Schultz, run&g an impressive personal best of 8.38 in the 55-metre hurdles. The ever-consistent middle distance trio of Judith Leroy, Sarah Brown and Tori Seay all PBed in the mile, finishing fifth, sixth, and seventh respectivelv. ‘?he three then teamed up with running mate Heather St. Amand to run a respectable yet gruelling 4by-800-metre relay.

steps have been taken toward integration into campus recreation. A new goal was formed to investigate ways of integrating persons with disabilities into the Campus Recreation programs as well as an Accessibility committee to help steer the process and provide direction. In their first term as a committee (winter 1992), they recommended hiring a co-op student to further investigate the ideas and to purchase or modify some weight equipment. During the fall 1992 term, a more intense investigation process was undertaken. The term was viewed as a developmental process. We had the Tri-City Spinners give a demonstration, visited the weight room as many had never seen it before, and tried the game of wheelchair rugby suggested by Andres Despres, a student at UW. A kinesiology student also conducted a needs assessment of the weight room. Recommendations were made in the document and are now being submitted to the endowment fund for funding support. At the end of the term, five days were set aside for integrated programs. As well, Ret Pals, a volunteer service to assist individuals
to better access the PAC’s facilities, was to be started. The Ret Pals program is now operating with 17 volunteersand 12participants take part in the new service -- that’s about 12 more volunteers than originally expected! The winter 1993 term has already seen two activity days go by with great success. Each day has seen over 20 people take part in activities such as wheelchair rugby and a guest speaker demonstrating and playing the sport of boccia ball. There are still three more activities days to be held during the term (see the Pick It Up brochure). Other eveirtsbeingplanned for the term include a wheelchair basketball game between the Tri-City Spinners and the varsity teams. This event may also include a wheelchair demonstration at half-time.
Positions Available Campus Recreation is still accepting applications for student assistants, referees and referees-inchief for fall, 1993. So if you are interested get them in as soon as possible. Applications can be obtained from and returned to the PAC receptionist.

We know you’re not interested in any of this, ~ and we know what you really want to hear, of I course; forany Duranie, the real meat of this review 1 consists of these three thjngs: what did they play, I what do they look like now and W/W were they weuring ? The show was supposed to be of the insuffer- I ably trendy “acoustic” variety, but it’s hard to de- I scribe it like that. Sure, the guitar and bass were 1 acoustic, but everything was hooked up to big-ass amps, the drums were there, the mikes wereon, and I as soon as we saw that Nick Rhodes had a couple of I synthesizers, and nut a piano, the “acoustic’* label I could be gladly and hastily discarded: As well as the 1 , fabbo babe back-up singer with such an incredibly 1 ~ long name that wecannot possibly remember it (and I who only got the words wrong once), Duran Duran I I i wasalsoaccompaniedbyacellistandtwoviolinists, ~ which filled out the gaps in the over-all sound quite I nicely. But even if they’d only had some castanets 1 and bongos, we still would have been thrilled. I The set was short, but sweet, sweet, sweet. I They shuffled nervously onstage and launched into “Planet Earth,” which wouldn’t have sounded I good with guitar and mouth-harp anyway. The I crowd was immediately on their feet, screaming I just a little bit. “Hungry Like the Wolf’ further I ,,.‘A--,A --a w1llyya.l up ct UK Lxuwu; c;very ,re person mew : every single word and the band started smiling. 1 You’re never too old to be foollsh photo by Then, when they spotted the woman in &e front I Renee Georgacopoulos row waving her Tiger Beat centrefold of John 1 (with Scott Baio on the back), they actually cracked ’ fans...manyofusweretryingtogrowupandlookcoolandtrying a laugh.

Then, for the inevitable encore, a cover of Iggy Pop’s “Here Comes Success” continued the wry, self- I deprecating tone of ‘Too Much Enformation,“and I they ended up with a riotous “Rio,” to end the I show. What did they look like and what were they I I wearing?

But we’re not too picky; we’11 take them any way we can. I Gone are the heady, frenetic days of the early I eighties, when Duran Duran was a new, fresh, and I exciting phenomenon.

Phoenix.Finds Maceo
Parker
The Phoenix, Toronto February II,1993 by Chris Speciul
he/and
to Imprint
It was adamn cold night in Toronto when our Kiss tape finally ended and we dared the walk to the Phoenix. We had come to see one of the finest sax players ever, Mr, James Brown’s front man, Maceo Parker. What a surprise to find that it wasn’tjustMaceo, but instead, we were greeted by all three of the Horny Horns, the JB’s, Mr. Maceo Pa&er(altosaxophone), Mr. FredWesley (trombone), and Mr. Albert ‘Pee Wee’ EllisQenorsaxophone). Yesindeed, when you’re this cool, they call you Mister. What a treat! ! Maceo has played with all the funk gods, including many of George Clinton’s projects: Funkadelic, Parliament, andthe P-Funk All-Stars, he has also released several albums on his own and with the JB’s, and as the Horny Horns. NOW magazine billed the show as 2% jazz, 98% funky stuff, however I would be willing to say we were treated to 100% groove. The set was fairly predictable with one down and dirty, ‘I can’t control myself, I just gotta move’ funkified soul hit, followed by a slow moody number where all of the Horny Horns, could demonstrate their supreme control of the horn. The backing band was truly amazing as well, consisting of a steamin’ Hammond, some slappin’ bass (reminiscientofeverybody’sidol,Bootsy
Collins), and the ever-present groovy wucka-wuckaguitar. Maceo has justreleased (within the last year) an album called ‘Life on Planet Groove’ which 1 suppose is the reason for gracing Toronto with his presence. Surprisingly, he played very little off this album. The songs he played consisted of some classic J.B. like Pass the Peas,

joyed getting everyone to yell at Fred during his high speed solo on Pass the Peas, and the synchronized dance moves got everyone going. A mention goes to Funkasaurus, of which we only saw the last two songs, who got the crowd into it. Damn Funky! Don’t let the Funkasaurus down. . . and they didn’t.

Iike everyone else, right? But get this, the four fingers, on both hands, are stuck together so they fotm single digits. It’s usually never a problem when he’s out at bars and stuff. No one ever notices. That is, of course, until he puts his hands on the table; to reach for his beer, or light a smoke, whatever. Anyways, sure as shit, one by one, everyone at the table begins to
notice and before you know it, it gets reeeaaal quiet. I mean reeeaaally quiet. So quiet, in fact, that it’s real loud. Sara Craig’s gig at Phil’s last Wednesday was just like that. Reeeaaal quiet.. , It’sprobably not her fault. When you have the inpenetrable and unforgiving forces of Mother Nature and Reading Week to contend with, attracting 60 or 70 punters to yourshow is something toboast about. But then there’s her music. It’s not the kind of music that makes you wanna listen. It’s the kind of music that makes you listen. This isn’t such a bad thing -when the room is full. Nonetheless, Sara Craig provided the few of us in attendance with an outstanding show; her voice, agenerous gift from the gods. Her stage presence teeters between the inimitible and the pretentious. General sound quality was excelletit, capturing the nuances of allchords, vocal and instrumental. 1992, commercially, was an excellent year for Sara, marking her presence in the Canadian music scene. Yet to be signed to a major label, she justifiably coasts along on the strength of her debut independant release, content to let the companies do the courting, and not vice versa. There was a genuine sense of mutual appreciation, as enthusiasm abound in the intimate setting last Wednesday. Definite highlights of the performance were the haunting traditional Gaelic tune sung a capella and the spirited cover of The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should T Go”.I’mneverimpressedwithwithbands whodon’tbothertopersonalizethesongs theydecidecover.ThankfuUy,SaraCraig is not guilty of this.

Although their beginnings trace practically to our own backyard, Buffalo’s Mercury Rev seems to have created a bigger stir 1 Britain than this side of the Atlantic. Given the unique manner in which they fashioned their record deal, however, that’s really not so surprising. As little as a year ago, Mercury Rev couldn’t find anything but Iocal indifference. Seizing some initiative, they ambitiously forwarded a demotape to the NME, (the weekly British music rag), on the off-chance that they’d be more enthusiastic than American record companies had been. Of such stuff legends are made, because that small measure of precociousness turned out to be a tremendous slice of inspiration. All of a sudden Mercury Rev were critical darlings, due in part to an English music press’s insatiable appetite for all things American. That Mercury Rev were both revolutionary and unduly obscure made them all-the-more appealing. So felt trade rivals NME and Melody Maker, who both hastily assigned crack scribes and staff

Neil Young is quite likely the last of the hangabouts from the sixties that has not yet released an immense and incredibly expansive boxed set, and we thank him for it. With the release of Hantest Moon, Lucky 13, and the unexpected Lost Tapes, Young must rank as one of the most prolific artists of the last few months. LucFcy 13 could be a foreshadowing of things to come, however, containing (surprise!) 13 songs Young recorded during his years with the David Geffen Company
photographers to race to the home of SuperBowl humiliation. They returned home astounded and, presto, Mercury Rev became officially “discovered”. Unbelievably, the band was then immediately dispatched to make a British debut at the massive Reading ‘92 Festival. (This after having played less than five local gigs ever.) It all seemed way too formidable. Make that ridiculous. It was, if you can pardon the apparent farfetchedness, shades of Jimi Hendrix all over again. Alas, with a tremendous ex-
whelming debut. Aneo-psychadelic tour-de-force, it displays Mercury Rev as a band with both a nineties cu tting-edgeand an unabashed reverence for rock’s (sometimes unsavoury) past. Their boundless reference points -- Jimi Hendrix, the Stooges, Meddle-era Pink Floyd, Pere Ubu, Nick Cave, Butthole Surfers, Dinosaur jr., Sonic Youth, and My Bloody Valentine - are at once all readily obvious. But Mercury Rev compose their material with the sort of imaginative vision that the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Medicine, Spin Doctors, ef al, couldn’t even hope to dream about. Enigmatic to say tahe least, Mercury Rev never seems to suffer from a lack of confii dence. Vocals drone, guitars explode, and through it all reekschaos bound by a flute. None of the songs sound very much like any of the others, and indeed a few of them -“Chasing A Bee”, “Coney Island Cyclone”, “Car Wash Hair“ -even somehow possess a sma ttering of commercial appeal despite their quirky experimentation. Queen West is going to have to take an embarrassing account of itself here; the small scene in Western New York is creating enough of a stir that it’s making Toronto’s local look even more blase than it already is. The Goo Goo Dolls, Mercury Rev... It doesn’t really matter whether they breed any more of ‘em, because truthfully they’re already kicking the shit out of us. d
pectation thrust upon them -- they were, after all, an unsuspecting band with no prior releases -- Mercury Rev recorded their debut album, Yersey1s Steam, in the late summer of last year. It was promptly hailed in Britain as an underground masterpiece, and (having only been available as an import) has finally been released in North America as of this past November. And it’s a good thing too, because Yerself 1s Steam is an over-
which, incidentally, recently signed Canadian artists Sloan. And yes, a Geffenyearscompilationmeanstwo tracks from Trans. Try as I might, however, I can find next to no musical worth in “Sample and Hold” and “Transformer Man,” especially when one compares it to any of his other music. Luckily, these tracks are the first two on the chronologically-ordered compilation, which means one can easily skip past them. Aside from this, what morecan I say about Neil? Has anyone not heard his solo projects, or his efforts with the Shocking Pinks, Crazy Horse, and others? If not, you probably aren’t even reading this. Enough said. For fans of the acoustic Neil, though, The Lost Tapes is a musthave recording. According to the jacket, “these demo tapes were made in the traumatic last period of the Buffalo Springfield,” and likely done so in preparation for his solo career. The tapes were discovered in Nashville’s Quad Studios when they

cially
impoverish Young, Recorded nearly twenty-five years ago in 1968, the seventeen tracks are spread over nearly fifty minutes of the usual -brilliant musicianship and incredible lyrics. No synthesizers (or rather, clavichords) or backup of any sort, save his guitar. Unplugged, if you will. Aside from being unplugged, the only immediately noticeable difference is Neil’s voice, which almost entirely lacks that nasal tone we’ve all come to recognize. And again, what else is there to say? Neil Young is Neil Young, and most of you have heard close semblances to this album’s material on previously released albums. The ability of Young’s music to appeal throughout generational changes and musical fads such as rap is pleasant to witness and reassuring to those desiring artists devoted to producing music for the simple sake of music, of which there is a distinctive lack. How many artists today, for instance, would dare make the musical changes on the order of magnitude he did to record Tram? As is so clearly indicated in the last song of Lmky 73, “mis Note’s For You”, Young is quite resistant to commercialization, preferring instead to concentrate on his craft. And it shows.

Originally issued in the late ‘7Os, Frmch Record is now available on CD and as a low-price cassette. Chroniding the earl McGarrigle years, these 11 songs Yall performed in French), are int&estin^g if only to prove how far Kate and Anna hive come,or just how long ago the ’70s were. -_a __. _ -A SideA(Ireviewed thecassette) features the most interesting pieces. “Entre Lajeunesse et la Sagesse” is a slow piano driven song, with tasteful amounts of trumpet, sax, and organ. “Complainte pour Ste-
.$
Catherine” features Tony Levin on bass (although buried in the mix), and has the distinction of being the first McGarrigle’s song co-writ ten with Phillippe Tatartcheff in 1975. In fact, most of the material on this release was written by Phillippe. “Excursion a Venise,” featuring a banjo, fiddle, violin, and bagpipes has a real rustic feel to it, but “Mais @and tu Danses” sounds too much like bad ’70s easy listening music. It’s ,a problem that continues on side B with “Naufragee du Tendre,” a tender love song that becomes laughable because it reeks of disco influence. “En Filant ma Quenouille,” a traditional song, and “Avant la Cuerre,” , a simnle arrangement of accordion, makdolin, and acoustic guitar, best suits the McGarrigle’s beautiful voices without acknowledging these pieces are nearly 15 years old.

Jonathan Richman has a problem. No matter what kind of music he releases today, people always think of him as that wacky guy who recorded songs like “I’m a Little Dinosaur” and “Vincent Van Gough” in the early 80s. Let’s get this straight: Jonathan Richman is not stuck in the 8Os, he is stuck in the SOS, but that’s been his style for
the last 15 years. His latest release is a fine album, definitely one of his better ones, will it ever be respected as much as his early ones? No, but I think it’s not because he has changed, but because the world around him has, it’s just not ready for a guy singing about innocent things like love, parties and dancing. On his last few albums, as well as his last few tours, the music has always been just him and his guitar. Although1 firmly believe that when it comes to one person on the stage alone he is the most entertaining performer I have ever seen, a band playing behind him really adds a lot to both the live show and his albums. Luckily, he invited some of his friends over to play with him on I,

Jonnfhan and this makes the songs really come alive. The full sound added by the bass, drums and occasionally congas really completes the fun party atmosphere JoJo likes to convey on his albums. Now if he would only invite some of his friends along with him when he goes on tour. About half the tracks on the album have to do with something in the past: be it reminiscing about parties when he was growing up, his hometown of Boston, or an apartment he used to have on Venice Beach. These songs work for me because once you talk to the guy you realize that it’s not an act, he really and truly believes in everything he sings, the stories and people in the songs are all real life, maybe not real life for you or me, but for him. The track “I was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar” is my favourite on the album, here you really hear. the drum pounding out the beat, and this makes this song go, as well as the lyrics which are really quite insightful. Another notable track is about JoJo’s favourite band The Velvet Underground, I remember reading that he has seen them in concert hundreds of times, and this song expresses his feeling towards their music. I would also like to stress that the line from the song “You can’t talk to the dude” which goes “He’s not tasting the food, he’s just shovelling it down” is not about me. As well as these, there are the prerequisite songs about love. Again this is a fine album which proves that JoJo hasn’t lost it after all these years of married life in the desert, now we just have to see if the rest of the world can still appreciate his view of life.

What images does a name like Gorky and the Juice Pigs bring to mind? a) The three little pigs in an old south commercial; -b) What the “greasers” are now known as at their old age home, or; c) Absolutely Nothing! . Well, it doesn’t really matter which answer you choose, because producing images (usually of the completely insane, warped, twisted kind) are the Pigs’ strong suit. For example from the song “Pickle”: “a bald man with no eyebrows dancing naked on some broken glass screaming I play road hockey with fish sticks” is not exactly your average “love song” line, and if you were wondering, “Pickle” is their “love ballad.” The Pigs (from Toronto) are best described as a combination of Second City, Weird Al Yankovic, The Barenaked Ladies (who site the Pigs as “Honourary Gordons”) and some twisted aliens from the seventh dimension. Instrumentally they are light years from original, but this petty bickering just takes away from their pure genius. One of their favourite pastimes is to take styles of music and exaggerate those cliches that often abound through them. Examples of this talent is shown in “Rok Steady” which pokes fun at
the *~~r’!!~~~%~~?~~!$~ tally doesn’t make any sense, is an exercise in stringing together anything which doesn’t belong with the chorus having nothing to do with anything else in the song. It’s great! It’s one of those things that makes your mind say “what the ---!” But for the best of the

A friend’s roommate upon hearing this song asked “Why aren’t these g;ys dead yet”? With some of the more tasteless lines on the album, I often wonder this myself. The Pigs are comprised of three ebullient guys: Sean Cullen, Greg Neale, and Phil Nichol. Despite all that has been said, these three are great. Since this is their debut, and there is nothing else to compare them to except their Live show, their tape unfortunately does not measure up to their live performances for two reasons: 1)usually half their show is improvised and hearing the same joke for the twenty billionth time tends to wear a bit thin. 2) The enthusiasm with which they explode on stage is difficult to recapture on a tape, let alone one that was recorded on a four track in Phil’s bedroom. The Pigs are not for those who offend easily or for those whose politically correctness is a second religion. They shamelessly bash every group that anyone could possibly think of, to the point where someone could wonder if they had insulted anyone in the first place. Otherwise I would highly recommend this tape for those with a completely warped sensibility. one

Some real live culture is coming to the K-W area on February 2Znd. The New York City Opera National Company will be performing Georges Bizet’s CARMENat The Centre in the Square.This will be
the show’s only Canadian date on an extensive American tour. This is a one-night stand which promises to be delightful. The company was established in 1979 with the mandate to take top quality opera performances to communities throughout the country and to providean opportunityfor

young talented artists to perform. Hundreds of performances and great reviews later, the company is now considered to be the best touring company in North America. This is an excellent opportunity for those who have always wanted to see an opera but feel intimidated either because of the venue or the fact that opera is usually performed in a language other than English. Not only will youhave the chance to experience this production in the familiar and acoustitally acclaimed Centre in the Square, but also the performance will be featuring the City Opera’s ‘supertitles’ which provide simultaneous English translation while the performers sing in French. Last week Imprint had the opportunity to talk to one oftheleadmen,baritone Mark Moliterno, who plays the role of Escamillo, the handsome bullfighter who captures Carmen’s heart. What makes this company’s production of Carmen different than any other production, especially in it’s capacity as a touring company? What’s tricky about this particulax production is that we have three casts that revolve, there are three different Carmens, they sing with different people on a rotating schedule, so it’s always a different combination of people on stage, whichmakesitveryinterestingand keeps it very fresh. Yes, I noticed that the company has a very hectic schedule, how does this affect the quality of each performance? Well this is one of the things
about a tour, a number of things come up, one is that your job as the artist is to keep it fresh, to recreate every time as if it is the first time, which gets hard after a while. But as I said with the different cast combinations it does make it interesting. It does give the performer an opportunity for variation. I think it’s really interesting to do a role over and over again because you really get to learn how to pace the part, and you constantly work on it night after night. You could go out one night and something may go really well, and something else may not go as well, so the next time you can say okay I’m going to really address that thing tonight. It’s a great opportunity to grow in a part. Another thing that makes it so interesting is &at every night we are in a different theatre, with a different audience in a different town, so that adds to the spontaneity and freshness because you never get used to one place. It’s very exciting to walk out into a different room. There is a different spatial sensation, a different sense of your voice carrying into the auditorium. So it gives you something to work with every night. Something that really intrigued me was the idea of the ‘supertitles’, what’s your opinion of this? I think the supertitles are great. I think they help the audience to understand a piece that’snot in their native language- It’s sOmek”ne~ a little disconcerting for the performer because it’s very hard to get a literal
translation on the supertitle and very often the way it is translated can colour the way an audience perceives a production. If the person who translated the titles thinks thattheshowisacomedytheymight add a sense of humour in their translation, this might bring about laughter in the audience when the performer doesn’t expect it. It does happen, in fact one night I had to go out and watch the other cast perform one night because I had to find out what was so funny in one particuIar spot and it was that it had been translated with a sense of humour. You don’t think that the supertitles detract from the action on stage? Well maybe to some degree I do, when I’m in the theatre that has supertitles my eye does go to the title. Even though I’m most interested in what’s happening on the stage, I do watch the titles and I find myself thinking that I should be watching the show. We are so visually oriented as a society that our eyes naturally go to what‘s flashing. How does the supertitle work exactly7 It’s actually a display, a short screen that hangs in front of the proscenium, it’s projected from the back of the theatre onto the screen. One thing that I think is really good about the way the New York City Opera National Company handle the titles is that they don’t leave them up there for very long, they just flash them and give you enough time to read them and then they take them down, so really your eye does go back to the scene. Oddly enough it makes a good frame for the whole thing, it just completes the picture to have the English titles above the stage. Carteen will be playing fur one night only at The Cetztre in the Square on February 22nd at 8pm. OIL

Or a banana peel to slip on. Anything, anything at all to do. It’s not that we’re in dire need of a traditional farce with obligatory door slammings, but surely the only way for Benigni and Cerami’s scenario to succeed is as a burst of chaos and colour. As a monologue with occasional interruptions, all the holes show. The film begins as a gentle, offbeat, episodic character study of a mild-mannered loser, and then veers off into caper territory, sates caper.

ness of his plight, he’d think he was in Hell. Like Chaplin’s Little Tramp, or Woody Allen’s fragile victims, Dante is the Everyman buffeted by the powers that be. He drives a schoolbus full of children with Down’s Syndrome, and one of them, Lillo (Alessandro de Santis), is his best buddy. Dante means well, and has only a few quirks: shoplifting those mellow yellows and defrauding his insurance company by faking a ridiculous injury. (He claims his hand has flapped spasmodically ever since an accident.) The word stecchinu means “toothpick”, and Toothpick Johnny is the nickname given a posturing, bombastic gangster who always has a toothpick in his mouth, Johnny’s machismo is so extreme, he refuses to kiss his wife; kissing is “for sissies and homosexuals. ” He’s a caricature of a Mafia don--whenever his mother’s name comes up, he goes into a daze. Because mistaken identities and misunderstandings are the order of the day, Johnny’s crimes are soon wedded to Dante’s fate. Benigni is both the best and worst of this, the highest-grossing motion picture in Italy’s history. As a comic actor, he’s giddy and inspired. He’s physically adept, and, as some critics have suggested, he has some of Chaplin’s fleetfootedness. He even kicks a hotel guard just like Chaplin would. Further, when delivering campy, cornball dialogue, Benigni strikes just the right tone. However, as co-screenwriter (with Vincenzo Cerami), Benigni has givenhimself 110minutes worth of material that simply isn’t funny. Chaplin’s physicality had imaginative contexts, and there were messages to his madness. Johnny Stecchino is a single, thin, contrived idea stretched outad infinitum. Since the plot is devised as an excuse for Benigni’s antics, the rest of the cast sit around lackadaisically plucking

Love conquers Sommersby Directed by [on AmieI Untamed Heart Directed by Tony Bill By Puul Imprint
Cocker
staff
With the coming-and-going of Valentine’s Day, a feeling of warmth and tenderness has fluttered the sweet-smelling air. It’s time for new flames to ignite and old flames to rekindle. It’s also a time for production companies to attract lovers and movie-goers alike. Both Warner Bros. and MGM have &cently released romantic dramas, hoping to swell hearts and earn some cash money with their their powerful casts. Summer&y and Untamed Heurf support this generalization. The first movie, Sommersby, is produced by Warner Bros. and stars Richard Gere and Jodie Foster. The film is about a plantation
owner named Jack Sommersby (Gere) who returns home to his broken-down town in Tennessee, after seven years of fighting in the Civil War and then degenerating in a Yankee prison. Jack’s wife, Laurel Sommersby (Foster), is a woman who remembers her husband as drunken wife beater but now sees him as as a gentle and 1oving &an, making her and other townspeople unsure if the the man before her is the man she married. Skeptism of Jack being the real Jack formulates along with an affectionate courtship between him and Mrs. Sommersby; Laurel never loved the Jack Sommersby she knew the way she loves the Jack Sommersby she loves now. Sommersby is notably remeniscent of The Return of Martin Cutwe that starred Gerard Depardieu and Nathalie Baye. To put it bluntly but also to the point, Hollywood has either created a homage of this decade-old artsy-fartsy French hit or they ripped it off in its entirety. The only difference between the films is that Summer&y is based during the

nineteenth century Restoration era, not during the sixteenth century with peasants and the Pyrenees. And this difference is what musters the variousgroblerns with Sommersby. With the Civil War virtually a hairbreadth distance in its passing, it is difficult for even a non-historian to suspend disbelief of the film and its timeline. Sommersby has Jack selling portions of his land tohis former black slaves, fending off the KKK, and attempting to prove his identity to a black judge (James Earl Jones). The movie’s weak plot,however, is veiled by the strong passion shown between its two stars. Richard Gere and Jodie Foster play a beautiful duet of love, honour, and maturity, their astounding performances parallel one another. There is a rare honesty between Jack and Laurel, making the viewer wonder if the romance between the stars is an act or for rea1. The second movie, Untamed Heart, is produced by MGM and stars Christian Slater, Marisa Tomei and Rosie Perez. The heart of the film has a busboy named Adam (Slater) longing for an outgoing waitress named Caroline (Tomei), but he is an outcast and is afraid to talk to her or to anyone else for that matter. The two characters appear to be opposites,.yet they are remotely similar; they both yearn for companionship and true love. Caroline has a friend and fellow waitress named Cindy (Perez) who finds Adam cute but also wierd and grubby. This doesn’t stop Caroline’s curiosity for the shy and reserved Adam, however. This begins a compelling intimacy between Adam and Caroline, building up from the waitress cleansing the busboy’s cut hand, to the busboy saving the waitress from an attemptd rape, to the two

sharing each other’s love in the bedroom. There is a fairytale side to Untamed Heart that tries to brandish a flourishing rarity. Adam is an orphaned twenty-six year-old who recieved a heart transplant at an early age and believes his donor was a baboon king. His heart is unfortunately diseased and he feels that if he loses his baboon’s heart, he will also lose his love for Caroline. It is a unique part of the script, but it is unsuccessful <and a little corny. Nevertheless, Untamed Heart provides a tenderheartedness and lightheartedness that is worth its weight in golden co-stars. Christian Slater displays a deft performance that is on par with his roles in Heathers and Pump Up The Volume. He breaks free from his sly, Jack Nicholson charisma and creates a fragile romantic that deserves gratuity. But the true performances come from Marisa Tomei and Rosie Perez. Having these two sirens sharing the silver screen together is a dream come true. Tomei, who stole the limelight from Oscar-winning Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny, shows her promising ability again. There is a refreshing emotion and innocence to her character in her new film. Perez brings a zest to the movie. Although she possesses a streetwise basic nature, she provides a spontaneity that no one eIse can deliver. Despite their flaws, both Sommersby and Unfamed &art are worth seeing. The former fosters passion while the latter promotes compassion, but both posit that love and hope are not impossible. A warning toemotionalviewers, though, both films have endings that could leave you all misty-eyed. This is a change.
