Student Life Centre design approaching final stage by Todd Sieling special to Imprint

To most students, the Student Life Centre (SLC) has only been an oft-talked-about abstraction lacking in details. That has changed since the hiring of an architectural firm has brought with it the basic design of the future SLC. Right now, the SLC only exists as a model and a series of diagrams, butoverthenextsixtoeightmonths, discussions between UW and the architects will shape this into a final design. Student Life Plan Coordinator John Leddy pointed out some of the highlights of the proposed design. Instead of an entirely new building, as had been anticipated, the architects have proposed additions and extensive renovations to the existing Campus Centre (CC) to create a brighter, more open centre. The bulk of the three-level exterior construction would face the Math building and feature a wall made mostly of glass. A walkway similar to the one linking theDavisCentre to the Math building would connect the SLC to the PAC. Inside, extensive renovations would

see the addition

of sev-

eral skylights and a glassed-in patio area facing the ring road. Leddy said it best when he remarked that “the strength of [this design] is that it opens up the current CC and brings a lot of light into the new and to the old.” An emphasis on wheelchair accessibility is also a definite

strength of the proposed design. An elevator would make all three levels of the SLC unrestricted, and this in conjunction with the exterior walkway would improve accessibility to the PAC as well. SomeCC occupantscould see a new home in the SLC. Most importantly, the games room will move to the basement, the Feds will receive new accommodations, and the Imprint offices will stay put. The proposed design also includes a film-viewing room and a council chambers, but the future of these features is yet undecided. When questioned about the actual construction, Leddy admitted that “there will be some logistical problems” concerning the businesses and groups that exist in the

CC Some will be moved about within the building as different sections of the project are brought into being, while others may have to be temporarily moved to an external location. With planning, however, Leddy hopes that such problems will be kept to a minimum. There are many points that need to be discussed and modified before the design is made final. While the SLC is still a long way from reality, knowing the basics of the design can at least give students an idea of what it was that they voted on last year and what UW will be pouring 6.6 million big ones into.

Mulroney resignation reactions by Ken Bryson and Anna Done Impfht Staff

With the resignation of Prime Minister Mulroneyearlier this week, the federal Conservative party is entering a new age. Realizing the impact of young Bill Clinton on American voters, the Tories, it seems, will be looking to bolster their image with a younger leader. At the likely June leadership convention, the race could come down to the likes of Michael Wilson, Perrin Beatty, Barbara McDougall, and Kim Campbell. At any rate, with an election imminent as early as September, the new leader will likely have to distance him/herself from Mulroney’s politics in order to pull off even a minority government. The day after his resignation Mulroney told reporters that he had never planned to stay more than two terms and that his decision to step down while in power was to insure his place in history. No Tory leader all the way back to 1939 Robert Manion has ever inherited the government, every leader has inherited the opposition. With Mulroney’s resignation now, he ensures that his successor, and himself, will go down in history as successful Tories. ’ “The time has come for me to step aside,” Mulroney was quoted by the Globe and Mud. Imprint talked tosomeof UW’s resident political theorists at the departments of Poli tical Science and Economics to find out their thoughts on Mulroney’s resignation and legacy as Prime Minister. Said Prof. R. Woolstencroft, Political Science Chair: “It was what was needed, at

least for the Conservative party, I don’t think it’s what the liberals needed. “Given that he wanted to bring Quebec in as a signa tory of the Constitution Act of 1982, that hasn’t happened and it won’t happen under his leadership. “There is always going to be a black mark on his record.” Said Prof. J. Melvin, Chair of Economics:

“1 think it wasn’t particularly surprising...it was probably very appropriate in the sense that it was pretty clear that with Mulroney as leader the Conservative party had no chance of forming the next govern men t,” “Generally speaking, the economic policies haven’t been that bad. Regardless of the rhetoric, the GST is not a bad tax, the Free Trade Agreement is and will continue to be a good thing, and the constitution was a mess. He clearly misread that badly“They [the Conser\rativesI could have done more in terms of cuttingexpendituresbut Ican’thonestly see any other party having done better.” Said Prof. T. Downey, Political Science: “1 think that most C;macfians are very happy. Cam& h‘s r~cvtsr been more divided or rnt)re cvniL4. “I think one of the rt’asons pt’csple are so cynical, atjd this is p<j\rt of his legacy, is that Canadians have always

. Fed aets some culture by Natdie Onusku Imprint stuff

The annual Cultural Caravan, a multi-cultural festival, consisting oflunchandafashionshow (lla.m.2p.m.) followed by an international talent showcase (5p.m,-9:30p.m.) was presented by the Federation of Students on Tuesday, February 23. Admission was free and a wide variety of reasonably priced food was available to all who attended. “It’s to get a sense of the culture around campus, to inform people of the different groups that go on and the effort they put into it. They really take pride in their country,” said special events assistant Jen Green. ‘Eachgroup maintained a booth representative of their diverse ethnic heritage and displayed information regarding individual cultural history and customs. “Baklava is a Turkish dish,” commented one member of the Macedonian Students’ Association. Inside is sugar, cinnamon and walnuts. “A lot of people think it’s a Greek dish but it’s not. When t$e Ottoman Empire was ruling they intergrated a 16,t of Greek dishes, they were in rule for five hundred years, they introduced baklava and

Nick Sarkovski, referring to the origination of the organization. “We felt we had an opportunity to start one (a club) and it would be a good way to promote our culture in a peaceful way.” With approximately twenty members, the Pan-African Students’ Network are presently organizing a special two day function on campus called ? Conference for the Unity of Students of African Descent. (CUSAD) Opening ceremonies will begin on Friday March 12th with keynote speaker, chair of the African American Studies Department at Temple University in Philadelphia, Molefi Asante. Workshops concerning such issues as the need for role models in the African community and the need for a more cohesive family structure will also be presented. The conference will conclude with a dinner dance and cultural show on Saturday March 13th. Money collected for the membership of the IndianStuden&’ Association is forwarded to Junuka, their twelve year old sponsor child in India who they have been supporting for two years, “In March we are hoping to have an educational seminar on the ecology of the Himalayas,” says the club’s social convener Hedi Kurien. The remainder of the money goes towards events of this nature. “Trungthu” (directly translates to “midautumn”) is an annual moon festival celebrated by the Vietnamese Students’ Association and is a popular tradition in their culture. “The moon festival is for children, it’s in August of the lunar calendar so it falls anywhere from September to November, it depends on the year,” says VSA executive member Thelinh Ngiun. “When I was a little kid we made lanterns, there were candles in there, we took them around the neighbourhood to celebrate with other people. By the end of the

night you have fifty to a hundred kids walking around with lanterns all over the streets with their parents. It’s like Halloween here.“ *I W e get together have to food and we usually have skits, plays, singing and some trivial pursuit kind of thing to talk about the history of vtime there’s a dance we try to mix between modern western music and Vietnamese rl7usyadded Ngiun. Affiliated with other university Filipino clubs at Ryerson, U of T, York, and Western, UW’s own Filipino-Canadian Association began in Sep tember of 1992 and will be celebrating National Philippine Day in June. The Hellenic Students’ Association sold raffle tickets for five dollars each giving par-

ticipan ts the chance to win a trip to Greece. According to HSA public relations officer Rena Ioannou, there are seventy members and membership is five dollars for the year. Yorka Creseo, representative of the El C 1 u b Hispanic0 , spoke of the essence of their group, “it’s always been a rather small club but a very strong club.” The Caribbean Students’ Association of sixty to seventy members, is in the midst of planning a cultural show and dance to celebrate Black History month. The event is scheduled to take place on March 27th in South Campus Hall The Aseans club involves the representation of six countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Burma and Belize. They wili be hosting a dinner and dance on March 24th. Consisting of twenty five to thirty members, the Cultural Association of Iranian Students has participated in the Cultural Caravan for a total of four years and enjoys sports, parties and cultural events. According to Sung-Yong Cho, vice president of the Korean Student’s Association, the

group was first formed six years ago and has become more established in the past four years with a total of forty members. The African Students’ Association displayed a unique variety of foods including mandaci and chapli. They are in the midst of planning for Black History Month. Special events co-ordina tor Dave McDougal arranged Cultural Caravan last year and is also responsible for its organization this year. Special kternational Showcase coverage by Maya Special

The first performers were from the Phillipines. They performed the daring candle dance which requires a large amount of dexterity. Representing the Korean Student’s Association there were three different parts : first of all there was an extensive Tae-KwonDo demonstration that had presenters ranging from one year experience to seventeen years experience. They showed some traditional Kutas and a variety of “breaking stances” of varying degrees of difficulty. It was a traditional dance performed by a group of women. The theme was nature : this was emphasized by the elaborate costumes and the fans decorated with flowers. Their finale was an intense percussion quartet which performed two pieces, one which lasted over ten minutes. Between the Korean acts there were a variety of Spanish dances brought to you by the El Club Hispanico, as well as an exciting fastpaced dance performed by four male members representing the Indian Student Association. Not only was it an entertaining and educational showcase but there also was available extremely inexpensive international cusine. I managed to purchase a semblance of a meal for a mere $2.15. It consisted of a variety of egg meat rolls from the Phillipine, Vietnemse and Korean booths, and egg tart from the Asian booth and buko salad (which is a fruity dessert) from the Phillipines.

Snow a mixed blessing By Todd Sieling special to Imprint

Over Sunday and early Monday morning Waterloo Region had nearly 20 cm of white fluffy headacheaumpedonit,anddespi te their efforts, UW snow-removal crews had trouble keeping several areas clear for the return from reading week.

In trying to keep parking lots and major through-ways open, several sidewalks and wheelchair access rampscouldnot alwaysbe kept clear. Grounds Supervisor Brian O’Riley said, however, that his workers were doing their best to keep up with the demand, and admits that some extra help would be welcome. The Plant Operations Depart-

ment often hires students to assist in snow-removal. Anyone interested in heaving a shovel for $B.lO/hour is encouraged to show up at 7:30 AM after a snowfall with their Social Insurance Number at the Grounds Department in the General Services Building. Students are hired for as many hours they can work on that day, but O’Riley discourages skipping classes or sacrificing study time for a little extra money. Up to 25 students could be hired after a snowfall, and O’Riley says that such a turnout is unlikely, so potential workers need not fear getting up early in vain. The brave, the foolish or the just plain interested can contact O’Riley at ext. 3366 for more information.

Ontario Ombudsman Roberta Jamieson presented a special lecture regarding the role of the Ombudsman in the context of intercultural relations at UW St.Paul’s College in MacKirdy Hall on Wed. Feb. 24th. The presentation commenced at 2:3Op.m. with aspeech delivered by Jamieson and was followed by a question and answer period until the meeting drew to a close at 3:30p.m. It is the responsibility of the Ombudsman to aid the public through the examination and resolution of conflicts that stem from complaints within regards to provincial government organizations. Created in 1975 by the Legislative Assembly, the position was designed to address issues of concern that are rooted in governmental organiza tions such as ministries, agencies, boards, tribunals and commissions. An Ombudsman should be contacted if a conflict can’t be resolved with an organization, the local Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) is of no assistance and all other possibilities of problem solving have been executed. Services are at no cost, available to all, confidential and can be accessed in any language. Facts are gathered about the complaint and a recommendation to resolve the conflict is made to the government organization by the Ombudsman if he or she sees that just treatment was not received by the one who files the complaint.. “We are now ready, perhaps overdue would be the case, to move to a polycultural pluralistic society which regards ethnic, racial and religious differences as valued permanent assets, which can and must be cherished,” stressed Jamieson. “If we’re able to have a social and political system which respects and nurtures differences, instead of attempting to eliminate them,” said

Jamieson, “we’re going to have to have the means to resolve conflicts in non-adverserial ways minus the guns, minus the barbed wire.” She referred to the “community” as a

Appointed October 30,19&9 as the fourth Ombudsman in Ontario, Jamieson was the first Indian Woman in Canada to obtain a Bachelor of Laws degree upon graduating from University of Western Faculty of Law. She has also received honourary doctorate degrees from Dalhousie U, Carleton U, MacMaster U and U of Windsor. The first recipient of the Mary Parker Follett Award in 1992, Jamieson was selected by the International Society of Professionals in Dispute Resolution and was also named Goodman Fellow at the U of T Faculty of Law in 1991.

Vision Awareness Week eyes campus Wes Fongand Monika Special to Imprint

Braun

This year’s national Vision Awareness Week (VAW) is from March l-7,1993. VAW is run annualIy by the Canadian Association of Optometrists and its prime objective is to raise public awareness of vision issues, eyecare and optometry’s role as primary eyecare specialists. This year’s theme is “Vision Saftey” and its intent is to emphasize the importance of using proper eye protection in sports, at wofk, or at anytime that requires it. The students from the School of Optometry, here at UW, participate in a variety of events to meet the goal of raising public swap

ness. Among these are an information booth set up in the Campus Centre on Wed. Mar. 3rd. There will be pamplets available on a variety of issues, a small slide presentation, students on hand to answer any questions, and the return of the infamous eyeball gumballs. Inaddition to the Qmpus Centre, the same information booth will be in conestoga Mall on Thurs. Mar. 4th and in Faview Mall on Fri. Mar. 5th. If there are any questions about contact lenses, sunglasses, video display terminals (VDTs), eye diseases or anyhting else you may want to know, please

come and talk to us at the informa-

tion booth at any of the three locations on those days. Another activity that the optometry students do week long is give presentations at local High Schools to grade 11,12, and OAC

informative format. UW’s School of Optometry is located on the north end of campus directly across from the main campus on the north side of Columbia Street. Every year, 60 students from across Canada enter the four year Doctor of Optometry program. The school has the distinction of being the only school incanadaofferingan optometry program instructed iti English. L’Univesite de Montreal offers the only other optometry school in Canada, providing instructions in French. The program at UW focuses on both academic principles and clini-

Emphasizing importance of eye protection students. The presentations are designed to educate the students about vision, eyecare, optometry and also provide an opportunity to see some of their theoretical education put into practice in an interesting and

cal procedures of the optometric profession. As well as being a teaching and researching facility, the School of Optometry offers primary care services which include refraction (i.e. checking for your “prescription”), ocular health and binocular vision assessment (i.e. how well your two ‘eyes work together). There are also special student prices, low vision, pediatrics, electrodiagnostics, sports vision, ocular health, binocul& vision, as well as a full spectacle dispensary. All UW faculty, students and staff, as well as any public members are encouraged to come to the School of Optometry for any eye care needs.

You can tour the sights and soak up the culture of Europe this summer - plus earn academic credit, if you wish. All that’s possible, if you book a seat on the University of Waterloo’s travel/study program in Germany, Belgium and the new Czech Republic. The trip begins Friday, Aug. 13 and ends Monday, Aug. 30. “It’s an alternative way for people to travel and have the opportunity to learn in a combination of formal and informal settings,” says Don Kasta, manager of continuing education liaison services. He says this year’s program will focus on the transitional period engulfing Germariy and other European countries. “Students can learn by experiencing the actual locations and by having access to local experts in the

various places we’ll be visiting,” Kasta says. Participants will travel to Germany (Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden and Bonn, among others), Belgium (Brussels and Bruges) and the Czech Republic (Prague). Besides sightseeingathistoricsites,studentswill attend lectures and seminars by a UW political scientist and guest lecturers. They will also meet local officials. Prof. Andrew Cooper, political science, will be the principal instructor for the travel/study program. He’s an expert on political par ties and social and environmcntal movements in Europe, as well as on Canada’s foreign policy toward the area. “They will learn abou tchanges taking place in Germany and in Europe as a result of recent dramatic developments,” Cooper says. Those changes include the collapse of communism, German unifica tion, European integration and international economic recession. First stop for participants is the Europa llnsti tute located in Bochol t, an attractive town along the German-Dutch border. There they’ll learn about the his tory, politics and economy of the European Community. After several days at the institute and side-trips t&earby areas,

they will embark tour. Specifically,

on the rest of their

will A New Identity for a United Germany; Migration and Multiculturalism; Economic Performance and Political Culture; Bertin: Capital of Europe?; The Revival of the Radical Right; The Expansion of the “European House”; Environmental Problems; Popular Culture and Social Movements; Canada’s Relations with a Transformed Europe. It can be taken for general interest or academic crcdi t. Total cost is $3,295, including airfare, accommodation (double occupancy), overland transportation and most meals. Tuition fees are extra. The program is sponsored by LJW’s departments of history and politicalscienceinco-operation with the office of Teaching Resources and Continuing Education. (For further details call 888-4002) Now in its fifth year, the program attracts people aged from 22 to 72. “They get to know each other quite we11 as it’s a small group ranging in size from 16 to 30 participants,” Kasta says. UW correspondence students usually make up less than half the group, he adds, with a strong representation from Alberta and British Co1 umbia. cover

It’s hunting season again. The time of year to get out your equipment and try to track a job worthy of mounting on your all too sparse resume. The secret to securing the quarry is knowing where to look and how to pursue it. Everyone knows the prize job opportunity doesn’t strut around in a wide open field. So how do you find out where the best jobs hide, and how to get them once you find them? With some sharpening of the senses and polishing off of your hunting gear you’ll be ready to brave the jungle and pursue that trophy of a summer job.

In the recent years, the number of jobs has decreased, making the hunt even more challenging. In addi tion to the usual hunting grounds like newspaper want ads and the Canada Employment Centre, you can also seek out that elusive prey (the summer job) in a variety of other places. The Career Resource Centre in Needles Hall has Summer Job Binders which list availtible jobs by six categories: Camp and Recreational, Government, Painting (managerial and crew), Tree Planting, KitchenerWaterloo area and Private Sector. Applications for some of the jobs listed are available in the CRC. If you can’t find what you are looking for there, ask the CRC staff abou t other options such as the Employer

Once you have narrowed in on your prey, you may want some help to hone your hunting skills. To help you in this endeavour, a group of six students has been selected to act

as your personal guides in the fields of resume writing, interview skills, and job search techniques. We have been through rigorous training and long endless hours of practicing these skills in order to help YOU improve your chances in today’s job market. So where have these Student Career Advisors been all this time? As luck would have it, our offices are spread out all over campus: in the MC, St.Jerome’s, ESC, and ML. If you are interested in coming to see one of us, you can make an appointment through our headquarters Career Services (NH 1001 x4047), or just drop in. Our office hours are posted around campus. We believe that as students, we can identify with your job concerns

and will be helpful in your hunt for a summer job, or long-term career. After seeing one of our friendly and helpful guides, you may think, “Hey! I’d love to have that job!” If you think

that being a Student

Ca-

reer Advisor might be the experience for you, applications are being accepted for next year. The deadline is March 5,1993. The selected volunteers will be trained in the latest hunting and tracking techniques in career planning and job search. In addition, a publicist position promoting the Student Career Advisor program is open. More information on these positions and application forms are available at Career Services in Needles Hall. Goodluck, and happy hunting!

Last week, I used the recent referendum campaign as an example of how important issues are not receiving enough debate on this campus. But another obvious point from that campaign is that the Federation of Students’ own referendum policy encourages student apathy instead of involvement The campaign period selected by the chief returning officer, eight days, was ludicrously short. The referendum policy allows for a campaign of at least a week and no more than two weeks. Why not default to two weeks? As we saw in the week-long campaign, it is easy for both sides to sabotage the other by launching endless appeals of the other’s campa@ materials, thus delaying when they can get campaign materials back from the printer and begin campaigning. The short length of the campaign limits greatly the amount of debate that can happen, especially when the primary public &rum f&r debate, this newspaper, publishes weekly. This year, for instance, only one of the five fora was timed so that Imprint could publish coverage of it before the voting days. Considering that a very tiny minority of the electorate actually attend a forum, Imprint’s coverage of that one forum may be the only information that many use to make their decision. And this was not aberration. Most years, the campaign lasts about a week and Imprint can only publish coverage of one forum before the vote. Being human, we make mistakes; a short campaign means that we cannot publish corre&ions of any mistakes before the voting begins. Another reiult 6f a short campaign period is the temptation for committees and candidates to begin campaigning early. If the campaign period lasted three weeks or so, this temptation would be much less. From a committee’s standpoint, why risk the penalities of early campaigning if the campaign period were long enough to allow real debate, with argument and counter-argument? A decision that is important enough to call a campus-wide vote can not be properly debated in one week How many of you have had a week from hell, one that contained a couple of midterms, three assignments, and a random personal crisis? Most people have at least one of those per term. Just by coincidence, what if that week happens to correspond to the week of campaigning? Shouldn’t the campaigning rules do every possible to accommodate the real-life interruptions that university students inevitably have? Student politics are not an end in themselves and many students do not consider them to be very important. Also, they are an activity that would not exist outside of the context of academics. Perhaps student politicians and bureaucrats should remember this when scheduling campaign activities+ They should remember that it is their responsibility to facilitate and maximize student participation in the political process, not hinder it Part of this responsibility is making sure that campaign activities do not conflict too much with the pressures and work load that undergraduates face. A campaign period of eight days just does not live up to this standard.

tducat’ion is n.ot a right “Education is a right.” So say the ranks of the Canadian Federation of Students. What they really mean by the slogan is “Free post-secondary education should be available to whomever wishes to have it.” What a load of crap. If the CFS directorate could for one second look beyond its smug self-interest and bloated sense of self-importance, it would recognize that the real educational crisis in this nation lies not in the ivytrellised halls of higher education, but rather in the chalk dust-choked classrooms of thousands of elementary and secondary schools across this nation. Soaring class sizes and diminishing budgets for high-technology l.earning aids have further hobbled a system that has already produced three million Canadians who are without sufficient reading skills to conduct everyday tasks. Can we reasonably expect qualified applicants at our universities when our feeder structure produces graduates with sub-standard skills in mathematics and in reading comprehension, and a woefully low percentage of students inclined toward science and high-technology? For a nation moving into the Information Age, the abysmal lack of qualified people to presumably lead Canada through the postindustrial epoch is depressing indeed. ’ What should we reasonably expect from our elementary and secondary schools? How about graduates who all can read a newspaper and a street address and warning labels on medicine bottles? How about graduates who all can add three digits in their heads without the aid of a calculator? How about gradiates who can all understand the fundamental concepts of operating a computer? If we demanded

The elementary and secondary school levels, rather than post-secondary levels, are the strata of education that should be given the highest priority and, consequently, the highest level of f!nding. Concepts of technology and abstract science should be taught our children when they are still young. Once the groundwork of first concepts is laid, and society has a vast: wealth of knowledgable, dedicated individuals, Canadian post-secondary institutions will be better able to focus on the important issues of building an intelligentsia who will run the technocracy and a social and economic leadership to ensure that technocracy’s survival in an increasingly competitive world. The original societal importance of university education has been dreadfully perverted, Once, universities were a place where intelligent, motivated, and socially responsible individuals gathered to hone their skills to better themselves and better the community in which they lived, whether it was their town or their nation. Now, universities seem to be.a holding tank, a vast, grey barnyard of middle-class white people who do not know what they want and figure five years of lectures and papers will give them a better idea. Besides c- it’s practically free anyway. That’s right folks -- your tuition only pays about 18 per cent of the freight here. The government picks up the rest. This insidious cyde of dependence has led otherwise reasonable people to expect a great deal from the state when that same state is sabotaging the very foundation of higher learning by largely ignoring the more important elementary and secondary levels of education. We, as a nation, will never be able to break out of the endless circle of dependence, both upon the state and upon other innovators, if we continue on the disastrous course of education, both elementary and post-secondary, set in the last 20 years.

We cannot ignore the crumbling educational infrastructure in this nation. The time has long since passed when that infrastructure coild be ihored up. We must demolish it, and begin again. Impart to the children the basics of the world we live in, and instill in them a ravenous hunger for knowledge, and a stronger, gentler, more confident generation will emerge. Once it does, universities can return to their first, best destiny: the making of leaders. Until that rebuilding, th&n, what shail we do? Perhaps a little dose of reality is in order. Attending an institution of higher learning should be a serious and well considered undertaking. “My parents expect it” and “My parents never had the chance at such an education” and “All of my friends go to university” are simply not good enough reasons for you to be here. You must wunt higher education. You must cru:zte knowledge. You must yearn to better yourself and to better your community. You must be clear about what you hope to accomplish, and how you hope to accomplish it. Otherwise, you don’t belong here. You may belong someday, but not now. Post-secondary education is a wondrous treasure trove, with vast riches of knowledge and discovery to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it’s not for the weak-willed or faint of heart. You are here to learn. Period. Be it theory in the classroom, or practise on a co-op term, or discovery and wisdom in volunteering and service, the education you gain here is not a right, and never has been. Advanced learning is a struggle. You must fight for it, scratch tooth and nail for every scrap of knowledge you can find.

Norman, N. Ashton, Wrighf, Senate; and

Recently, I was informed of the proposed termination of the University of Waterloo Dance Department. As a graduate of .the Dance Program, who places great value in the knowledge acquired in attaining my degree, I found the announcemen t disquieting. I do not profess awareness of all the intricacies involved in determining the *existence of a university program. However, I assume that, among other things, registration (which itself may indicate a need) is considered. I do know that registration significantly increased during the four years of my education, and it is my understanding that it has continued to do so since my graduation. Granted enrollment in the program is lower than it is for those better-known, more “highlyesteemed” programs, but, due to the nature of the Dance program, the predestined result of a comparative enrollment study is simply not justification enough to cancel the Department. This I am sure you know, so I expect the basis for the decision is economic. Ah . . . economics. I have always thought it strange that, when buck comes to shove, it is the potential recipients of the arts and culture sector that are too quickly eliminated. Culture is not a frill. It is essential to the expression and well being of society and a critical element in its very evolution. Art and culture and the equinox of science !

and technology. The University of Waterloo has been unique in its provision of this equilibrium and the presence of the Dance Department has been vital in maintaining this uniqueness. With only a handful of Canadian universities offering degree programs in Dance, the existence of the Department is truly important to this university. Indeed, once understood to be the asset it is, the Dance Department would not be considered a fiscal impossibility. It is unfortunate that my university, whose members originally had the vision to understand the importance of implementing innovative programs, and has been regarded as an institution from which to harvest value and integrity in diverse higher learning, now chooses instead to perpetuate the stigma of arts and culture by abolishing the Dance Department, It is disheartening to realize that this stigma may actually find acceptance in even some of Canada’s esteemed educational administrators. Contrary to the recent proposal, the Dance Department should be given the opportunity to prosper, this time with genuine support of administration. The support is deserved. Although executives’ prime interests may be focused elsewhere, many concerned people do feel the Dance Department is worthy of that unprecedented, sincere guardianship, one which parallels the type of attention so readily given to other departments. I urge you and those involved to reconsider, and not to take lightly your decision. The ideal environment to encourage thinking, feeling individuals towards realizing their potential is one in which art and science co-exist. The world’s greatest minds have developed form a divine curiosity for expansive knowledge. It would be truly wasteful for a university, with its privileged resources, to stop short of allowing this spirit to flourish. Trucey lionours

Over the years, others have resigned because of minor policy changes such as the GST and Free Trade. Of course, we can never forget Sinclair Stevens or the tuna incident, and will cherish forever the ability and courage of Elijah Harper to halt Meech Lake. Tories who emerged unscathed from their leader’s indiscretions and have any sort of remote chance of winning the leadership position are Defence Minister Kim Campbell, Perrin Beatty (Communications), Mike Wilson (Trade) and Jean Charest (Environment). Before being shuffled into the Defence Ministry, Campbell enjoyed the high profile position of Justice Minister, where she actually received some praise instead of criticism from interest groups for her actions on some women’s issues, gun laws, and other subjects. Being one of the few Ministers to actually fulfil their job description and serve the interests of Canadians, she was protiptly shuffled into her current no-profile post. Barbara McDougall is the other possible female candidate but, well, not prominent, interesting, or very effective, in my humble opinion. If we have a female leading the Tories, it will be Kim Campbell, often described as “left-leaning.” Mike Wilson might make a decent party leader, but Canadians will never forgive him for the GST, regardless of who was responsible for the tax’s imposition. If unelectable as Prime Minister, then, he certainly won’t become leader of the party. He is decidedly right-of-centre. Perrin Beatty. Who cares? He held Campbell’s position three or four years ago, and doesn’t exactly have the qualities that command attention. Described in Wednesday’s Canadian Press article as “bright and fresh,” Jean Charest suffers from the problems most bright and fresh people have when apply-

Moribund Mulroney moves Is it just me, or is everyone noticeably happier the last couple days? There is an extra bounce to one’s step, as if a dead weight has been removed from the shoulders. The clouds of despair have parted, allowing rays of hope to overwhelm us (as recently happened south of the border). The Chin, the Jaw That Walks Like a Man, the Great Conciliator, aka Brian Mulroney, has finally resigned. Anticipation has been in the air for several months now (or in my case, since about 1986), and now the celebration can begin. No more stupid one-liners about rolling the dice, for the time being. Most of us have grown accustomed to viewing politics, especially in Canada, as a boring and annoying source of news copy and political propaganda, but now all that has changed. The Canadian political landscape will once again be the stuff of engrossing talk shows and drunken arguments, and each voting citizen will be thoroughly involved in the selection of the next government! Well, maybe not. But Canadian politics will definitely have considerably more spice to it in coming months as Tories select a new party leader to remedy all the damage Mulroney has inflicted and, if all the planets line up correctly, perhaps become the next Prime Minister. Speculation is, yes, running wild as to who that person will be. A Canadian Press article, for example, suggested that Bernard Valcourt may be considering the position. Uh-huh . . . the same Bernard Valcourt that had about eight for the road and ignored police attempts to pull him over? After a short chase, he wiped out, thereby eliminating the run-away option. The Conservative Party was tarnished by no less than eight ministerial resignations during Brian’s first term, some “scandals” and others simple disagreements with the boy from Baie-Comeau.

I agree wholeheartedly with Luke Young and Paul Bridger that “state regulation stifles personal initiative”, but the question must be asked of these men whether a university which takes its directives from the world of industry would also not eventually stifle personal initiative with its own seemingly inescap able business agenda? This may seem like a pessimistic perspective, but a university driven by the goals of industry will soon turn into a utilitarian institution (much like U of W already is), where studies like dance, visual arts, music, philosophy and religion will be judged not on their own inherent worth, but merely how they can accommodate the world of business. Our North Amerccan “culture” is dying enough as it is gentlemen. I think you suggestion if fully implemented would only serve to put the final nail in our coffin, and not give us the freedom that in your column you seem so much to desire. Ofi by the way, the spirit of competition in your “real world” reeks from the rotting of our minds in the service of money. Ken

ing for a leadership position -- he is reportedly perceived as young and inexperienced. Given these candidates, I’d suggest that Campbell should win simply because of her vast experience and support among the common folk, but will probably be shunned by those wanting stable and relatively unchanging leadership. Another strike against her is the perception that she is ideologically left-leaning, and therefore somehow threatening. Unfortunately, then, even though she may be the best person in terms of general congeniality and technical qualifications, an inexperienced newcomer like Charest will likely be opted for. Regardless of the outcome of the federal Conservatives’ leadership convention, it is highly doubtful the party will be re-elected. That leaves us with Audrey McLaughlin and Jean Chretien, more politicians that haven’t exactly grabbed our attention. Chretien has been in office since June 1990, and McLaughlin since December of that year. If either have accomplished anything noteworthy, it was perhaps overshadowed by Mulroney’s adventurous mishaps. Perhaps, but I doubt it. I like to think of myself as someone possessing a modicum of knowledge about federal politics, but cannot think of a single political stand McLaughlin or Chretien have taken on any topic, save for the usual fence-sitting rhetoric. Can you? With the federal election less than eight months away, the lack of prominent original ideas or even steadfast views on any issue by either of these potential Prime Ministers reflects poorly on them as potential anythings.

of the developed world, the American social welfare system is hopelessly inadequate. The U.S. has an extraordinary gap bemeen rich and poor, has one of the highest poverty rates (three times that of major European countries), and in almost every respect has among the lowest social standards in the industrialized world. McQuaig argues that the most dynamic economic powers of Western Europe spend a great deal more of their gross domestic product (GDP) on social programs than either Canadians or Americans. In fact, in some cases it is more than double what Canadians spend (in percentage of

According to Drache and Gertler, the new state will have the following characteristics: I) Minimal restrictions on investment and divestment; 2) a willingness to modify existing programs so as not to impede the exchange of goods and services; 3) a willingness to adjust, modify, or dismantle present programs or standards which stand in the way of harmonization and competitiveness; and 4) allowances for greater

To put things in the clearest possible terms, one would have to say that free trade is, perhaps, the greatest single threat to national sovereignty in this country’s history. With this deal, Canadians seriously compromise their capacity to make free choices in a myriad of other dimensions of Canadian political life. Thus, it is fair to say that the essence of democracy itself is what is truly at stake in the debate over the NAFTA. Previous articles in this six-part examination of the NAFTA and its implications have explored its effects on, among other things, education, culture, and economic policy. In this article, I wish to explore the implications of this deal on the very constitution of the Canadian state. What I hope to clarify is the way in which the basic assumptions made by ultra-right political thinkers regarding the function of a nation stare are being forced upon Canadians in a profoundly undemocratic way through the free trade deals. Canadians were effectively duped into believing that our present government maintained some modicum of respect for democratic process by inviting citizens to vote on a constitutional agreement. The truth is that the NAFTA has a great deal more to say about the Canadian governments ability to administer economic, environmental, and social policy than the constitutional accord ever did. However, in this case, while most Canadians oppose the deal, we do so in the face if government intransigence -- without the benefit of a referendum, or even an effective public consultation process.

The Canadian State in the Era of Free Trade

Which Way For Canada? Around this time last year, I was engaged in an exchange of ideas with Imprint writer Sandy Atwal on the subject of socialized medicine in Canada, Atwal had written an article suggesting that the publicly funded Canadian health care system was less effective, less dynamic, and, therefore, less efficient than the largely private American system. Unfortunately, and without regard for the facts, this view is catching on in Canada. The fact that a significant portion of the American population (37 million people) have no medical insurance and that an estimated I 00,000 people a year die as a result, the fact that the U.S. ranks 22nd in the world in infant mortality rates, and the fact that a black man in Harlem is less likely to reach 65 than a man in Bangladesh, all seem to have little impact on the growing appeal of an Americantype private health system. In fact, the discourse of Canadian political life is being increasingly saturated with such comparisons to the U.S. The argument is being made countless times and in as many ways that we can no longer afford to have the kind of “extravagant” social safety net, to which, in the past, we have been accustotied. It is not surprising that Canadians often see the U.S. as the only significant alternative with which to compare our social and political choices. In every other respect, North America and its people are becoming more and more isolated, and the evidence of a startlingly narrow worldview pervades the increasingly unimaginative political discourse of North American society. In a series of articles printed in The Toronto Star between November 8 and November 12, 1992, journalist and author Linda McQuaig points out some of the problems involved in comparing Canadian state social policy with the that of the U.S. McQuaig points out that, relative to the rest

Canada and the U.S. is most certainly not. It is widely held (and such views have had tremendous impact in Germany, Sweden, France, and Japan) that bringing down direct and indirect labour costs in order to encourage economic activity is a short-sighted strategy that will inevitably backfire at the point where the productivity and skill level drops as a result of lower wages and conditions. In addition, the exclusive emphasis on competitiveness and growth, as Marc Xuereb argued in his article entitled “Challenging the Philosophy of Growth and Competitiveness” (Imprint, January 15, I993), is equally short-sighted. The planet itself simply cannot sustain industrial economies that aspire to grow indefinitely. At the precise moment in history when the struggle of the third world for liberation and development, when the efforts of our own workers to achieve a decent and secure standard of living, and when imminent environmental catas-. trophe, should be pushing us in the direction of greater co-operation and more state co-ordinated industrial policy within the World market, we are, in fact, headed in the opposite direction. We are opting against the kind of state regulation which could help to address the complex realities of poverty, underdevelopment, and environmental ruin, and, instead, seem blindly willing to take our chances with a potentially catastrophic “leap of faith” into the maelstrom of a laissez faire world market We are, according to many political analysts and economists, in the process of helping the business elite to circbmvent the potential threat of a real democracy.

GDP). The point is that Canadians have many options which are not being considered. The argument that national governments must streamline and trim social spending or face economic stagnation is not only ethically questionable but economically wrong-headed. So why is it that, while the economic powers of Western-Europe with their far-reaching social welfare programs, extensive state-regulatory industriai policy, comparatively lower poverty rates, and higher future degrees of upward mobility, seem quite content with their governments greater allocations cumpkte of funds toward social spending, Canadians, like their American neighbours, appear to be swallowing the erroneous argument that social welfare and economic prosperity are mutually exclusive? McQuaig argues, and she is certainly not alone, that the relationship between Canada and the U.S. that exists under free trade severely limits our ability to make independent choices in matters of state social policy. -

flexibility in wages and benefits through the deregulation of the labour market (particularly as regulation pertains to collective bargaining). - The changes in the structure and function of the Canadian state which roughly correspond to the above principles are formally mandated by free trade. However they did not start with the implementation of the TTA, nor with the proposed NAFTA, but long before either of those deals were unveiled. In fact, the adjustments began back in the days when Brian Mulroney was say

trade agreement would be considered by his government. Drache and Gertler point out that the Tory government has made such drastic changes to the legislative and institutional character of Canada, that one could argue that almost no aspect of the Canadian social fabric has emerged unscathed. They note that the “strategy is to water down Canadian redistributional programs so as to make them equivalent to the (American) lowest common denominator, and to cut the direct and indirect labour cost to business.”

It was Ronald Reagan who first used the term “economic constitution” to describe the implications of free trade for North Americans. An October I992 report by the Ecumenical Coalition for Economic Justice (aToronto-based lnterchurch body which investigates economic issues) states that the deal is effectively as importaFt as any constitutional deal in that: it “limits the ability of democratically elected governments to undertake independent initiatives in such areas as investment, services, natural resources, culture and social policies.” As noted above, many of the changes in the character of the Canadian state that are implicitly or explicitly assumed under the NAFTA have already been built into the legislative policy of the Tory government. We shall look at the impact of these changes, past, present, and future, on Canadian state policy with regard to investment, regional development, the environment, health care, labour legislation, and social welfare. a) Investment Regulation: As an October 1991 report by ECEJ insists, most of the damage done to the Canadian governments’ capacity to restrict and regulate foreign investment occurred with the signing of the FTA. In the FTA, Canada agrees to give “national treatment” to U.S. companies seeking to invest in Canada (articles IO5 and 1602). Effectively, what this means is that Canadian investors can be given no incentives, or opportunities, which American investors are not also given. With such an arrangement, no future Canadian government can attempt to reverse or even slow the apparent trend toward complete economic takeover of Canada by U.S. capital. In addition, no Canadian government may insist on minimum levels of domestic inputs, or “Canadian content,” in services or manufacturing (articles l602- 1603). The prohibition against such restrictions, first spelled out in the FTA, are further enhanced under the NAFTA It is important to understand that a prohibition against state interference in most investment activities also prevents future governments from insisting that some of the profits, fees, or interest accumulated in Canada be reinvested here (article I 606). The FTA, with its “hands off’ investment regulations, is already having a profoundly destructive effect on Canadian manufacturing and services. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, in their “facts sheets” on free trade, points out that the share of the Canadian market that goes to Canadian

In areas like furniture manufacturing and rubber products, the share of the Canadian market enjoyed by U.S. manufacturers has gone up as much as 20 per cent The Canadian service sector appears also to be suffering. The balance of trade is running strongly in favour of the U.S. and the Canadian government and future governments are powerless to interfere. b) Regional Development: In an essay entitled “Exporu, Unemployment, and Regional Inequality” (The New Era of Global Competition), Marjorie Cohen argues that Canada needs an economic strategy that can address the recurring problems which Canadians face, namely the need for a better interfacing between resource-producing sectors and manufacturing and service sectors. Only an economic policy with this as a priority will address the crucial issue of regional disparity in Canada. Free trade, by encouraging short term export biased economic activity, and by limiting state power to develop an investment strategy, ignores Canada’s need for a comprehensive, regionally sensitive, development plan. c) The Environmenti Article 409 of the FTA guarantees perpetual supply to American consumers of our natural resources, including water and energy, even in times of shortage. Governments are prohibited from requiring local processing of raw materials (i.e. timber) which will effectively increase extraction rates and prevent efforts at conservation, diversification, and job creation. The NAFTA includes a comprehensive program for the harmonization of environmental standards which has particularly frightening implications for Canada and for those Canadians who feel that this country ought to maintain a more rigorous set of standards than that which exists in

the U.S. Lastly, byconstraininggovernment powerto regulate investment and to develop a sustainable locally based development strategy, this deal is environmentally disastrous. d) Health Care The Canadian Centre

for Policy Alternatives

by Luke Young and Paul Bridger

Canada Post is one of the last statesupported dinosaurs. The last five years have seen the other dinosaurs; PetroCanada, Air Canada, and Bell Canada; face extinction or adaptation. Petro-Canada was sold to the private sector and became a lean, mean competitor. Air Canada was sold and the industry deregulated, causing prices to drop dramatically. Bell Canada has been told to compete and long distance prices are expetted to drop by half. While Canada Post lumbers along in its familiar manner, Bell is becoming a major world player, and making a profit. Postal prices continue to rise, telecommunica tion prices drop. What’s the difference in attitude between Bell and Canada Post that causes this disparity? The answer - Bell competed abroad while the dictionary is the only place Canada Post can find competition. We may just be victims of mail discrimina tion. Canada Post tells us that they can carry our letters between cities in days or less, 98 per cent of the time. In the first place, why are we always members of that extra two per cent? Is it because their major cities only include Toronto, Mississauga and Pickering? Even if this is not the case, why can’t they guarantee 100 per cent? Why can’t they do it in two days? Dare we even suggest that overnight delivery between major cities is feasible (there are several flights a day)? Since we’re griping, why is it 43 cents to mail a letter? At present, we’d be willing to double the price to ensure proper service.

(CCPA) report on NAFTA entitled “‘Which Way for the Americas” states “the FT-A is providing both the rationale and the impetus to ‘harmonize’ our health care system with the market-driven system that prevails in the United States.” Many areas of our system are open to privatization according to chapter of the FTA on commercial services. The terms providing for privatization of many health care related services are extended under the NAFTA. The CCPA reporz also points out that the NAFTA provides for a review ofthe exemption of health care provided for in the FTA. According to the deal, representatives from all three countries will be involved in such a review (to occur no later than December 3 I, 1998). With the passing of the Medical Care Act of 1966, costs of health care were shared equally by provincial and federa1 governments. However recent cuts in federal funding have made the SO/SO split a thing of the-past By the year 2000, federal funding cutbacks will amount to $ IO0 billion. By 1998, the deadline for review under the NAFTA, federal contributions to some provinces health system will have been completely cut. Provinces wishing to compensate for cutbacks by raising Mxes will face roadblocks under free trade which implicitly requires tax systems to be loosely in line with the U.S. (the U.S. does not have a public health system for which to pay). Another way in which the NAFTA will have an impact on the provision of adequate health care for the Canadian people is already visible in the new legislation on intellectual property rights. Bill C-9 I, mandated by the NAFTA, requires 20 years of patent protection for pharmaceutical companies. Generic drugs, once made possible by government legislation which is now scrapped under the provisions of the deal, have saved Canadians $500 million dollars a year.

’ Friday, February

markets is one of the functions of the state in the global marketplace. Canadians are alrtsady feeling rhe harsh effects of massive job loss since the signing of the FTA but the addition of Mexico as a free trade partner is a cruel blow to Canadian workers. Free trade, by restricting government regulatory powers exposes Canadian labour to a volatile labour market in which Canadians must compete for jobs with Mexican workers who earn 60 cents an hour. The ECEJ report of October I991 cites an incident wherein a Canadian company, Bovie Manufacturing of Lindsay, Ont, put up a notice on the eve of a strike vote telling Canadian employees “The Mexicans are waiting.” It is clear that this harsh competitive atmosphere-will undermine a great many of the political and social gains made

Canadians appear to be swallowing the erroneous argument that social welfare and economic prosperity ure mutually exclusive.

e) Labour Legislation: As mentioned above, deregulation

of labour

Another thing that really steams us is the periodic interruptions in service that we experience through Canada Post. Far be it from us to slam strong unions, but strikes would be a thing of the past in a competitive postal world. Most would agree that to work in the post office is one of the highest paying jobs available, especially tootherwise unskilled workers. With competition, we would soon find out whether the union in fact deserves the money they are demanding. If quality postal services are indeed overpriced then the union will not have a legitimate bargaining stance. If not, then they deserve more money. European friends claim that Canada Post is renowned for its slow delivery. In fact, it has been unfavourably compared with service in the former Soviet Union. We don’t mean toberatecanada Post. We mean to berate the lack of competition in our information delivery+ We believe that other companies can do a better job, if given a chance. We think they can do this with lower prices, better service or greater price differentiation. In fact, Canada Post could do this as well, but they have no incentive to do so. Canada Post employees should be given the opportunity to prove their superior mail delivery abilities. We should be given the opportunity to judge them on a comparative basis. Communication is essential for us to become a more successful country. The more accurately and efficiently we communicate, the more successful our industrie.swillbe.TheeliminationoftheCanada Post monopoly, we think, will be essential for ensuring better communication and a more competitive future.

-In particular, women, who have entered the workforce in record numbers over the last decade, are alarmed by some of the trends which seem to have been set in motion by free trade. Women have traditionally found themselves working in areas like garment, textile, and food processing, all extremely vulnerable under the deal.

f) Social Welfare: The relationship between the free trade deals and massive Tory cutbacks in social spending is, in large part, indirect. The pressure to “harmonize”taxation and social spending is not in the letter of the deal but in the spirit of it. Taxation rates, in a free trade environment must not be seriously out of line with those of other member nations if a partner intends to “compete”. This is a significant problem in that taxation, obviously constitutes the revenue base for social programs. Another significant threat to social programs is the rather ambiguous definition of “subsidies,” which are restricted under the deal. There .is some concern that federal funding to UlC, for example, could be deemed a kind of

Imprint 26, 1993

subsidy by foreign trade representatives. The impact of Tory policies have been felt across the board. In 1989, during the implementation of the FTA the Tory government announced it could no longer fund Unemployment Insumnce. Thousands were prevented from obtaining benefits and 500,000 were cut off early according to documents released by Canada Employment and Immigration. The Tories have been slowly withdrawing the federal government from a wide range of its obligations with regard to social programs. In addition to drastic cuts in health care, the federal government has also cut its funding to the Canada Assistance Plan, from which welfare is funded. These cutbacks occurred at a time when welfare caseloads were skyrocketing as a result of economic woes. Consequently, provincial and local governments are experiencing rising deficit levels and potentially serious financial difficulty in their attempt to maintain programs.

Conclusion The issue which lies at the centre of the free trade debate is not the question of any specific social program or the impact on any particular economic sector but the question of democracy. Nobody will deny that the power of the Canadian people to make significant decisions abour their counuy’s economic priorities is significantly lessened by this deal. Proponents of the NAFTA would argue that such sacrifices are the necessary consequence of entry into the global market. However, if we examine the real alternatives, considering the experience of many of the European countries, we can see that this is indeed only one of many possibilities for Canada. The character of a people is indeed reflected in the kind of society they create. Canadians would be making a grave error in believing that the corporations and their political allies would faithfully reflect the most noble traditions in Canada’s political history. Unless we voice our opposition to the NAFTA, we passively hand over a tremendous amount of our political power to the corporate elite. And in an era when people all across the Americas are crying out for greater accountability from their governments this would constitute a rather monumental setback.

SSAS MY NEW REVISED FEMMSM: by Justin Wells special to Imprint

*Do you call yourself free? I want to hear your ruling idea, and not that you have escaped from a yoke. Are you such a one as ought to escape a yoke? There are many who threw off their final worth when they threw off their bondage. Free from what? Zarathustra does not care about that! But your eye should clearly tell me: free for what? Can you furnish yourself with your own good and evil and hang up your own will above yourself as a law? Can you be judge of yourself and avenger of your law?” --Thus

Zarathustra,

Friedrich

Nietzsche I wish to revise feminism because it is irrelevant to the women’s movement. Feminism got stuck in a quicksand of resentment (aiienating eveqbody): Now it’s trying to dig its way out -- I hope to revise it before it sinks. In spite of feminism, the women’s movement is the most important event of our time: a transformation of our culture. Transformed are our politics, pastimes, pleasures, religion, worldview, and workplace. We raise our children differently, we meet differently, we even dress differently. An enormous redistribution of wealth and power is underway: a half which had nothing may now acquire half of everything. The women’s movement is totalistic and cultural. Being totalistic, it encloses us and we cannot assess it. Being cultural, it defines us and we cannot control it. Nobody can represent the women’s movement, and it does not depend on anybody’s actions. Fortunately for women, the women’s movement is distinct from

“women’s groups.” A criticism of the women’s movement cannot be written, so I take as my subject the views and practices of women’s groups:

feminism. The feminisms I describe are archetypes: any actual feminism will never be of purely one type. Feminists talk about schools of feminism differentiated by ideology or methodology . . . these are superficial differences, but there really are two types of feminism, and not just the tedious one we have around today.

The Women3 Movement The women’s movement cannot be assessed, but its subject is women’s power. People say the women’s movement is about women’s rights, so I will show how rights derive from power.’ Let us define a right as the guaranteed privilege to do something. Since this sounds like something I might like to have, I ask: How do I get one? Well! Suppose I wished to vote, and you could stop me from voting. I win the right to vote only if I get a guarantee that I can vote unopposed. If you simply say “okay, you can vote!” I do not really get a right since you might change your mind on a whim (hardly a guarantee). But suppose I have some power over you: perhaps I can withhold your food, or cause you harm. When I trade my power for a guarantee, I . obtain a right (a contract enforced by my power). Conversely, suppose I have no power over you, and you are still able to prevent me. Now I get nothing: I have no power with which to enforce a contract, and I receive the privilege

only

your

whim.

1 obtain a right You might say, because God said so.” your God-given rights,

only if I have pOwei. “no, I have rights Yet I am free to ignore or disagree over what

men, we need mote

they are, so I admit only this: there may be supernatural rights, but even so, rights based on power are the only sort with actual value. Feminism deals with women in the real world, and real world rights depend on power. Women have no inherent rights. A violation of rights is almost a contradiction -- a right which can be violated freely was never a right. Some think rights are acquired magically, and never wonder what they are. Rights are not acquired magically: femule power is the onb god reason why women hove rights. The women’s movement is the emergence of female power. It is about women who acquire power and use it,to take rights. The preceding insight into the nature of rights damages the usual view of the women’s movement: (I) Political rights reflect existing power. The political and legal battles which seem so important are only echoes of the main event -- the rise of female power. Women were awarded the vote by default. Female power had already become a real political force, making suffrage an inevitable formality. The women who marched for suffrage marched not to gain a power; but to celebrate one. (2) Skdstical WJah is meaningless. A woman engaged in anti-stereotypical activity has gained nothing unless people believe it dungefous to oppose her. Women have no equality if they are seen to be weak. The best

aggressive

women”

index of the women’s movement is fear of female retaliation, not a list of things women do. (So much for affirmative action,) The rise in female power and the feminine desire for power define the women’s movement. Any feminism which loses touch with the feminine will to power winds up in quicksand.

The Feminism of Since I am offering a new revised feminism , I shall show what is wrong with the present one -- which I call the Feminism of Ressentiment.’ Most women, even those who are successful and who escape victimization, are frustrated by their status in society. Women who fail or who are victimized become bitter, angry, and resentful. This pain gives birth to a feminism ruled by resentment, anger, and frustration -one which despises oppression and all things associated with it, The Feminist of Ressentiment seeks justice -- she wants not only an end to sexism, but also revenge against her oppressor, or repayment for wrongs done by him. Some will say: “Of course we are angry! We are frustrated, and we resent it.

Look what has been done to us!” I can respond by outlining the outlook of such a feminism to show its futility, or by saying “Doing this you have won my p@, but lost my respect --” I write for women who will never be pitiful. Enraged by oppression, the Feminist of Ressentiment identifies everything associated with male power as evil. She abhors the thought of acquiring such characteristics herself, and seeks to eliminate them in men. She thinks women are incapable of harshness, and are genetically more compassionate, kind, and caring. Her subterranean anger maligns not only male power, but vilifies power in general: she has poisoned her own well. Her own emotion imposes the muzzle which ensures her submission. While not all things associated with male power are associated with power in general, some necessarily are. The Feminist of Ressentiment has exiled her own will to power. Perhaps from a desire to “make good come of suffering,” the Feminist ofResrentiment sees her cause as a crusade: “The Evil One(s) are to blame for our problems, our pain, our injuries. If you disagree, the Evil One(s) have corrupted you.” She declares herself the better for her suffering: “It gave me my cause, now I suffer loudry for others.” Thus she seeks pity under the pretext of obtaining it for you, and presumes it is pity you want. Pity is a weapon which attacks self-respect and saps the human spirit Piv is the weapon with which the Feminist of Ressentiment mutilates women. The Feminist of Ressentiment lives in awe of her oppressor. She launches a campaign aimed at her idols, men: she hopes to convince us she has acquired rights (magically), and believes we have mystical powers to bring them into being- She failed to convince herself of her rights and thinks we can do better. She attributes her condition to male omnipotence, believing men once convinced her she was weak, and that she was too weak to disagree? She is a male-centred feminist, more concerned with what men have done, than with what women can do. The Feminist of Ressentiment only wants to be free from fear: she has neglected the freedom to create beyond herself. She wishes to throw off her yoke, yet offers nothing to rule in its place -- she is defined by oppression, and meaningless without it. The object of her endeavour is release, a final resting place. She is a gloomy feminist who will find satisfaction only in death. Ressentiment created feminism to soothe the wounded with a sympathetic and sensational approach, loudly declaring their injuries, seeking the dramatic’ and choosing issues with which people will take issue. All this to gain pity and attention for women who have been wronged, much as someone with a toothache wants the whole world to know about it. The Feminist of Ressentiment offers support and sympathy, but never strength and independence. Programmes which dress wounds with retribution or pity are called lasting so!utions. Women who enter feminism after enduring abuse and frustration are never soothed by quiet and concrete change. Instead they require fast and intense change (however superficial) to ease their pain. This is feminism as therapy: feminism for the sick, the weak, and the helpless. The Feminist of Ressentiment is an accomplished therapist, but as a feminist she is a flop.

Propositions ,Toward My New Revised Feminism Nobody gives you power, you just take it. My New Revised feminist imposes herself on the world, creating a space over

999s Paving The Way For The Superwoman which she rules. Her power is an expression of the capability she is forging from her will. She is pragmatic, and those she chooses to help are soon in her debt: she is a channel as well as a source of power. When someone violates her right she retaliates, defining her right. The Feminist ofRessentiment says: “I am oppressed, my rights violated! Please Mr. Legislator may I have my rights ?” My New Revised Feminist laughs with scorn: she will not wait to have rights granted her; she is presently usurping them. My New Revised Feminist never argues with people who oppose her, she attacks. While the Feminist o,fRessentiment demands attention, My New Revised Feminist is becoming strong: confident, capable, and competent. She says: “I never negotiate. Oppose my right and I will defeat you.” I think twice before slighting her lest she strike back. My New Revised Feminist secures her own rights: you need not write them down, she will etch them in your mind. It may not be your fault, but it is your problem. My New Revised Feminist is a woman of action. She takes pleasure in her power, preferring her own solutions over aid from others. Instead of joining a support group, she builds support within herself. My New Revised feminist never expects to be rescued, she solves her own problems. The Feminist of Ressentiment says “Abuse has made me insecure and weak, I cannot save myself. I need your pity and I need your help!” My New Revised Feminist says: “I am neither insecure nor weak, and I loathe your piq. I will never rely on you or on your help. I protect myself.‘*

Self-Interest is your only interest -- act accordingly. Self-determination defines My New Revised Feminist She is the rugged individual laughing in the face of misfortune; arrogant by definition -- she assumes more power than she is expected to have. She is her own foundation -- source of her own worth. My New Revised Feminist does not justify her desires: to question her own will would be to attack the base from which she is building her power. Her own desires and pleasures set her agenda: Without her will to power she would be nothing; with it she is becoming everything. Remember her arrogance, even my title is intended to communicate it. Self-Conquest. My New Revised Feminist defends herself against pity and compassion. She maintains her pride as a line of defense, the secure base from which she is attacking. She overcame Ressentiment: She fought against her own anger, resent, and self-pity. When she rid herself of these poisons she became strong and arrogant. Now her pride is an anti-toxin. She neither wallows in self-pity nor dwells on her failure. She observes her troubles, decides she does not like them, and engages in something she can do. She does not feed weaknesses, she develops strengths. She freed herself to create beyond herself: she does not care what she is free from, she cares only to rule. The Feminist of Ressentiment excuses herself from action claiming she has been demoralized by abuse and harassment. My New Revised Feminist no longer allows herself to be demoralized.

Take what is forbidden you. The feminist of Ressentiment says “It hurts me, therefore it is evif. Men should not be allowed to do this!” My New Revised Feminist says “I am gaining strength, I too shall do this.” She observed that pornography damaged her, but noticed it damaged her because it was male-dominated. She decided to end the male monopoly on pornography, and is now creating her own. She says “The things which oppressed me were not evil, the trouble was they were forbidden me -- no longer!” We don’t need less aggressive men. We need more aggressive women. The Feminist of Ressentiment screams and cries: “I am afraid! Men are too aggressive’ men are too violent! They must be tamed, I must be sheltered!” My New Revised Feminist professes aggression: she is naturally aggressive. She says: “I overcame myself and am no longer weak. Your shelters make me claustrophobic, your fear disgusts me. You would cripple me and break my spirit: I will not be tamed and I will not be broken. You oppose aggression because you are incapable of it: I am not. I seek power, victory, and conquest. Since I do not submit, I fight. I attack those who oppose me. How could I be dangerous without aggression? Who would fear me if I were incapable of striking? Aggression is my will to power!” So long as your freedom depends on me, you have no freedom. The Feminist

OfRessentiment defines her freedom in terms of what I allow her to do. She says: “I cannot be free until men change, and no longer oppress me.” She is wrong, she will never be free. So long as her freedom depends on my choices, I retain the option of rescinding it In any case, I . refuse to change. My New Revised Feminist tells me: “I do not care to change you. I am becoming stronger; you will no longer be able to ’ rescind my freedom. If you try, I will make you suffer. When you see that I am able to do this, then you will have your equal.” ’

The Guelph Gryphons may have fiihed up with the best record in the hockey OUAA West and, with it, home-ice advantage for the best-of-three division final. But don’t count out the .two teams in Waterloo, one of whom will likely travel to Guelph to try to claim a berth in the Nationals ‘93 final-four tournament slated for March 19-21, 1993 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. The Waterloo Warriors beat and tied the Cryphs, while the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks split with Guelph. And despite being ranked only tenth nationally, the Hawks ended up tied with eighthranked Guelph for first place, the teams posting identical 16-5-l records. Not to mention that the nation’s leading scorer John Spoltore and division MVP Mark McCreary lead the Hawks’ highpowered offence. Waterloo finished two points back of the division leaders with a

The Waterloo basketball Warriors played host to Guelph’s Gryphs last Saturday in the PAC in their final game of the regular season. Waterloo was solidly defeated by the CIAU number-three ranked Gryphs with a score of 90-67. Waterloo was still playing shorthanded with Alex Urosevic, still in third place in OUAA West scoring, remaining on the injury list. The Gryphs seem to be hitting their stride at the right time in the season with quarter-finals tomorrow (Saturday, February 27) and Waterloo was just another of their victims. Waterloo worked hard in the first half breaking through the Cryphs defense to pull ahead 12-6 five minutes into play. The Warriors held onto a tenuous lead until Guelph tied it up at 30 points with five minutes left in the half. Waterloo and Guelph traded off the lead for the remainder of the half. Twenty seconds before the halftime buzzer, the Gryphs bucketed one to put them ahead 41-39. The game was decided in the first six minutes of the second half which saw the Warrior’s defence unravel under pressure from the Gryphs as Guelph ran a 14-2 scoring streak, extending their lead with Warrior fourth-year forward Chris Moore (34), guarded by Guelph _ _ Gryphon Tim Mau, passes to teammate Sean VanKoughnett in last Saturday’s XI-67 loss to the Gryphons at the PAC.

other semi, after upsetting the fourth-place Western Mustangs 84, also on Tuesday. Game one of the WaterlooLaurier series went last night at Waterloo Arena; results were not known atpress time. Game two will beonsunday, February 28 at 2 p.m. at the Icefield and game three, if’ necessary, will be back at the Bubble on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. “The Hawks are on quite a string,” said UW head coach Don McKee. “They haven’t lost in quite a while. They just don’t know how to lose, and what we’ll have to do is teach them how to lose.” But McKee acknowled&d that this will be’s chore. “They have two very explosive players in (John) Spol tore and (Mark) McCreary and a hot goalie in Rich Pracey,” McKee said. “And their power play is awesome. But they have some weaknesses at defence that we hope to exploit.” Since Laurier has home ice advantage, McKee also stressed the importance of establishing physical play on the more confined ice surface of Waterloo Arena. The Warriors and Hawks last met in post-season play two years ago when Waterloo won its first division championship in 18 years. UW went on to a first-round loss in the ‘nationals, a double-overtime decision to the Alberta Golden Bears. 1 Tuesday night, Waterloo survived a sloppy second period to bury the undisciplined Laurentian Voyageurs 10-4 in a sudden-death quarter-final game. The Warriors were helped by a 5-O first period, suffered a momentary letdown in the second period, and regained a stranglehold on the game in the third. Laurentian played a remarkably sluggish game for a team that has qualified for the playoffs. “They (the Voyageurs) travelled downthe day before, so maybe they were too rested,” said McKee. Laurentian also lost a couple of team leaders, according to McKee. Murray Margerit blew out his knee

in the last game of the season and Shawn Roy was suspended. “In the playoffs, the bottom line is winning,” said McKee. “We won the game 10-4, so I’m very pleased with the team’s performance.” Chris Kraemer scored a pair of third-period goals to put the game out of reach, assisting on two other goals. Warrior leading scorer Troy Stephens collected four points off three assists and a goal, while team captain Darren Snyder scored twice. Waterloo wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard as John Williams scored from point-blank range 1:35 into the game and Snyder scored on a power play 23 seconds later. After Bill Whistle and Greg Allen added two more markers, Laurentianstartinggoaltendercary Ross was yanked in favour of backup Mike Ramprashad. Snyder promptly welcomed him to the game with a power-play goal only 1:41 later. Laurentian lost all composure late in the first and in the second periods, getting two players ejected from the game for arguing referees’ calls. They also benefited from Waterloo gaffes. First, in the second period, Warrior John Williams deflected a Rod Pasma shot into Waterloo’s net. Six minutes later, UW goaltender James Organ came 20 feet out of the net to clear the puck during a power play, only to put the puck on the stick of Voyageur Rob Lalonde, who promptly flicked it past Organ before he could get back into position. Mike Payne and Pat Daly scored Waterloo’s other goals. Pasma led the Voyageurs offensively with two goals and two assists. Rich Borthwick scored the other goal for the visitors. In the OUAA East division, the Ottawa Gee Gees stormed past the Toronto Varsity Blues in the last weekend of the season to claim first place with the best record in the OUAA, 17-5-O. Toronto finished three points back and secured the other first-round bye. This weekend, the Gee Gees will meet the Queen’s Golden Gaels, who upset the UQTR Les Patriotes 4-3 on Tuesday night. The McGill Redmen won the battle of Montreal also on Tuesday night, dropping the Concordia Stingers 3-2 in over-time to advance to a semi-final against the Blues. The Warriors wound up the regular season with a wild 8-5 win over the Western Mustangs at the lcefield last Friday night. Steve Schaefer scored four goals, three on the power play and a fourth into an empty net in the waning seconds. Waterloo converted four of their powerplay chances and notched

another

shorthanded.

MacantidotewipesoutPlague’s CIAUtrip by Rich hnpfint

Nichol sports

Sometimes in sports, emotions overpower expectations and the disastrous occurs. Last Saturday afternoon in Hamilton, the clash of the OUAA West volleyball titans, the McMaster University Marauders and the Black Plague University of Waterloo Warriors, turned out to be a boring, uneventful 70-minute murmur. Despite the fact that there was an au toma tic national championship berth on the line, neither team played at the national-caiibre level that bo th teams are capable of. However, in the end, the CIAU fifthranked Marauders notched a dominating straight set victory. It was kind of sad to watch

Waterloo’s season come to a whimpering close after such a great year. After finishing fourth in the division the previous year, the Plague rebounded this season to finish second in the West with an 8-4 win-loss record and knocked off the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks in the semifinals 3-O. Because of the loss of three starters to graduation, the Warriors weren’t supposed to do well this season. Some cynics didn’t even think they would make the playoffs. But the strength and depth of the men’s volleyball program at UW and its coaching kept the team in contention. Waterloo was one win away from its fourth national championship appearance in five years. The Plague made a valiant fight in the first two sets, but were edged

15-13 and 15-9. But with their backs to the wall, needing to win the last three games in a row for the victory, the roof caved in on Waterloo’s dreams. The Marauders took advantage of a flurry of Warrior errors to clinch the win 15-2. The picture of the moment was of graduating team captain Mike Fullerton who sat on the bench after the match with a blank stare at the score on the scoreboard after game three. He sat there struggling to find a reason why six months of hard training, practice, and competition came down to such a pathetic team effort in the last set of the one match this season that meant the most. But what’s done is done and the Plague can look back on a fine season and look ahead at an even p stronger performance next year. Fullerton will be the only starting player not returning next season. In his five-year career, Fullerton was instrumental in the Plague’s success. He was a solid and steady substitute off the bench in his freshman year when the team finished fourth at the nationals in Calgary and as a sophomore when UW clinched a bronze medal at the CIAU’s in Winnipeg. The following year, as a rotating starter, Fullerton put another CIAU bronze medal around his neck

Imagine what would happen if skied a fast 10 kilometres todraining yourself, did it again hours later, and yet again the day. Like many nordic ski team members who competed in the OUAA/OWIAA fin&s for cross country skiing last weekend you’d probably ha’ve trouble climbing the stairs in the math building for a few days too. Waterloo competed against Carleton, Queen’s, Laurentian, Lakehead, Western, Guelph, Toronto, Ottawa, and M&laster. The calibre of skiing was good as many former provincial and national team members skied in both men’s and women’s races. Lisa Patterson coached and skied the women’s team to sixth position while the men’s team placed eighth. Ace skier Ron Howden was sick and couldn’t participate hurting the mens team’s chances at fourth place overall. Saturday’s skating technique time trials were the first races of the weekend at Duntroon, in the Collingwood area. Waterloo’s Ken Macleod was the fastest electrical engineer on the ten-kilometre course finishing in 22nd spot out of 58 skiers with a time of 29:44. Brent Curry was only five seconds back in 24th position, followed by Dennis Paradine in 26th. Excellent races were also had by Gary Pluim (35th), Steve Paradine (44th), and David Richardson (48th). you tally three next

Three hours later it was time for the start of the relay races in which racers had toclimb the Niagra escarpment two to three times. Three skiers make up a relay team so Waterloo fielded A and B teams of which only the faster A teams counted in the fiial results. Brent Curry broke a pole 500 metres from the start of the men’s 7.5-km race, but David Richardson gave up one of his poles saving the A team’s placing.

Defence shines, but hoop Ai~-stars announced Athenas miss playoffs from

Graduating star Brenda Kraemer named to a&star team for third time by Shannon VanKoughnett Imprint sports The Athena basketball team ended their season on February 17 with a record of 5-9. Placing fifth in the strong OWIAA West division, the Athenas missed the playoffs by one place. Despite finishing fifth, the Athena defense was quite possibly the best in the league, allowing 692 points in 14 league games, second only to Lakehead with 647. This was evident in their second last game, a mauling of the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks. Against the Golden Hawks, teamwork was quite evident from the Waterloo side as all 12 players saw floor time. The Athenas, who led by as many as25points, frustrated Laurier to the point where the Hawks begangivingsomecheapfouls. Rookie

Kim Stusyk suffered a black eye and graduating captain Brenda Kraemer hit the floor more than a few times. Kraemer was rewarded for her hard work with a OWIAA all-star nominationannounced last night at the OWIAA basketball awards banquet at the University of Western Ontario. The Athenas ended up winning by 13 points and any of the players will tell you that, yes, victory is sweet. On February 17, the Athenas travelled to the inferno in London, where the Purple Satan hold court. Although the Athenas fell 79-59 to the Mustangs, they went out with class. The score was not indicative of how close the game was, and Waterloo put up a fight until the end, with graduating sharpshooter Kathy Wordham hitting a three-

Point guard Janice Awad had 7reboundsand graduating post Maureen McDonald tore down 5 rebounds, all of these coming at the offensive end. Coming off of the bench, second-year centre Nadia Gosgnach scored 7 points and had 5 rebounds. Leading scorers for the Mustangs were Lori Bartolotta with 22 and Michelle Mommersteeg with 19. Despite missing the playoffs, the Athenas are already looking to next year. With only three players graduating, Kraemer, Wordham, and McDonald, the Athenas return nine players, five of whom are rookies this season. The Athenas would like to thank their fans who came out and supported them at their home games, where they only lost two games all season. Thanks also to head coach Denise Dignard and assistant Martin Ritsma for making the Athenas one of the most respected teams in the league. Look for this team next year, because the way it looks, this team will be great in the future. To the Athena players, thanks for giving Waterloo an exciting team to wa tch. During these off months, don’t lose that attitude and strut or vour love for disco warm-ups! ’

Lancer coach Joanne Maclean is the division’s coach of the year and Guelph’s Laurie Townshend is rookie of the year. Laurier’s Janice Field, Brock’s Tammy Naughton, and McMaster’s Lisa Thomaidis make up the rest of the team. In the OUAA East division, Dianne Norman from Laurentian and Denise Scott from Toronto tied in voting for the MVP award. Leigh Anne Isaac from York is rookie of the year and Queen’s’ Dave Wilson is coach of the year.

On February 13 and 14, the Athena varsity figure skating team hosted the 19930WIAA championships. Ten teams from across the province competed in a variety of freestyle, dance, and precision events. The competition was tough as skaters competed in individual, pairs, fours and team events. Waterloo’s skaters performed very well, slipping from third place only after the two final events; the team finished in a strong fourth place position behind Western, Guelph, and Toronto. With the advantage of home ice and supportive fans, this year’s finish was one place ahead of last year’s fifth place. The Athenas were proud to have OWIAA all-stars in two events: Nancy Ford, who placed first in senior solo dance, and thj? team of Tamara Staple, Carolyn Richardson, Michelle Kho, and Nancy Ford, placing first in the original set pattern. The other results form the competition were: Kathleen Kaarsberg - senior 8 solo - sixth; Shannon Klassen - intermediate solo - fifth; Lesley Neave - senior A solo - third;

final seconds, was the end of game buzzer. The Waterloo fans heaved a collective sigh of relief, first because the bloodletting was finally over, and second that the Gryph fans, even louder and uglier than their team, would be leaving the PAC, never to return this season. High scorer for the game was Sean VanKoughnett with 23 points. VanKoughnett is currently fourth in scoring in the OUAA West, averaging 19.9 points per game. Chris Moore was next top scorer for the Warriors, adding 12 points and ripping down 9 rebounds. B.J. York and Dave Lynch, who both continue to score in double digits, added 11 and 10 points respectively . Tom Balfe and Mark Hopkins each put four points on the board, with Bruce VanLoon adding his trey to the team total. The Warriors finished in fifth place in the OUAA West with a 6-8 record and will be travelling to the Western Mustang’s Alumni Hall for the quarter-finals on Sunday, February 28 at 7 p.m. Winners in the first round advance to the OUAA West final-four tournament at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton on March 6 and 7. The big question

is whether

not Alex

Urosevic will be able to play on Sunday. When asked, UW head

coach

Tom

Kieswetter

was

hopeful. “We assume that Alex is going to play, but it’s a day-to-day thing”, said Kieswetter. “We’ll just have to see on Sunday.” When questioned about Waterloo’s chances of mak-

ing it through the quarter-finals, Kieswetter was more positive. “Last year we beat Western in the same situation. I hope d+ vu strikes

again!”

Warrior

fans hope so too.

City. Then in his final two year!!, as Waterloo’s premier passer and only ambidextrous power hitter he became a regular starter. His leadership both on and off tie court will be missed. Fourth-year player Jeff Stover will graduate this term, but he has not yet decided if he will return to play his fifth and final year of eligibility. Stover sat out much of his fourth year with a knee injury, sustained in the McMaster Invitational last January. He is the Warriors’ hardest power hitter on the team. This season was also the swan song for head coach Scott Shantz. Shantz has contributed his time and skills to the volleyball program for the past ten years. He played for the Warriors for four years, collecting a CIAU bronze medal in his fresh-

man year, and was honoured as an OUAA West first-team all-star in his senior year. Then he became assistant coach under Rob ‘Nobber’ Atkinson for the next two years. In the last four years as head coach of the team, Shantz steered the Warriors to two national championship appearances. In the 1989-90 season, Waterloo captured the provincial championship and the first of two consecutive bronze medals at the nationals. Shantz retires as one of the winningest coaches in UW men’s volleyball history. His successor

will not be offi-

cially named until June but, in order to keep the same team strategies and winning formula, the best choice will be an internal candidate, most likely assistant coach Bob Eichvald.

The Inspiral Carpets, have survived the sudden and untimely death of the Manchester scene and are still touring with their excellent riff and harmony laden music. The lights finally went down at l&30, and the Inspirals blasted onto the stage with their trademark bass and keyboard interplay. During this time, I and others like me who had been foolhardy enough to opt for the front row were suddenly crushed into the wooden barricade in front of the stage by hundreds of pounds of pulsing human weight. We also found ourselves being kicked in the face, head and shoulders by those dot-wearing fools who chose to pass over us on their body-surfing quest to reach the stage. After the first song, they ran ’ through some faves like “SheComes In the Fall”, and “Sleep Well Tonight”, during which I began to crave most horridly the water which the bouncers were slugging back only inches from my face. Every so .-- often, the bouncers, when they weren’t dealing with the bodies flailing abovemy head, would deem it worthy to allow us each 0.2 millilitres of water from their mammoth

bottles. My head began to spin as the Inspirals increased the intensity of their set with some driving new songs and frenetic lights to match. All I could think was the noise, and the crush, and the flashing lights and the swirling colours, and the pain of the keys in my pockets, and the thirst, thirst, thirst, thirst...1 started to tell myself “As soon as they play ‘Dragging Me Down’, I’ll put in a great burst of energy and get out of this Hell.” I began screaming for the floor bouncers to oull Uninspired me out. This they did, and I realised it wouldn’t have mattered if I had passed out in the front row, because there was absolutely no way I could have fallen over, I was so wedged in. Finally, with the aid of three bouncers, I extracted myself from the crush, and made my way toward the side, another casualty. I assert here that I had not : must consumed any alcohol, nor drugs.

me down ment, which was nice and cool, with few people in it. I sat down on the side, to co 101 my swimming head, and quell my queasy stomach, and hopefully dry off a bit. As soon as 1sat down, I recognized, faintly but clearly, the Farfisa organ intro to “Dragging Me Down”. It seemed to me at the time that my whole reason for being was to hear “Dragging Me Down”, and if I missed “Dragging Me Down”, why did I even bother going to the concert. So, in a tired, wounded way, I stumbled almost blindly up the stairs to hear the mats. While song. the band played a v&y fast (or so I think) version of the song, I started thinking that it would just be better if I lay down for a bit on the cool floor. Just for a bit; get out of the heat. And thoughts were hazy, cloudy. . . Suddenly I was awake, and took stock of my situation. I was lying on the floor of the Concert Hall, here to review an Inspiral Carpets concert, and doing a damn

poor job of remaining vertical, or conscious for that matter. I wanted to tell all the freaks who were staring at me to look at the cancer t, and that I was okay. Instead I woozed my way to my feet, uttered the single syllable, “meh”, in order to convey sanity to my fellow patrons. I then made my way to the inviting front foyer, away from the band, who had finished “Dragging Me Down”, and were already into the encore with a slightly funky version of “Commercial Rain”. I guess now that I had beenout for a minute or two. As soon as I felt moderately well enough, I went back into the battlezone. 1 saw many of my fellow front-line fighters now sweatj, casualties standing dazed at the back. I went over to Steve, grabbed onto him, and said “meh”. The last song the Inspiral Carpets did was a really groovy version of “Tainted Love”, during which they invited selected cuties up to the stage, to dance among them. We all left the Concert Hall in a massive blast of steam, and dazed, but happy, Steve and I made our way back to the car, for the chilly, and thirst-laden ride home. And

EuthanASIA Asia Stages, Kitchew February l&l993 by Dave hnprint

Fisher rtafl

“Rock and rull dream Nut whaf it seems Who is the dreamer now?” Las I Thursday’s Stages act was nominally headlined as “Asia (featuring legendary guitarist Steve Howe of Yes-fame)“, but those in attendance could easily be forgiven for thinking otherwise. In reality, this was nothing less than a Steve Howe performance with a comprehensively-reformed Asia. Steve Howe, of course, is the acclaimed virtuouso guitarist formerly of Bodast, Tomorrow, and Yes. His exceptional-but-obscure work in those first two bands isn’t very well known, (although Nazareth’s cover of Tomorrow’s psychadelic “My White Bicycle” was one of their biggest hits), but the seventies supergroup Yes made him a legend, mostly

to hormonally-

charged

males obsessed with his technical wizardry. The legacy of Yes, sadly to say, is now buried deep in a critic al dustbin. Along with Pink Floyd, they’re ofteneschewed as thedubious r&on d’etre for punk rock, but in their time they made some pretty unique music of which Howe was in no small measure responsible. Indeed, in a bittersweet twist of little-known irony, Howe’s distinctive fretwork even shows up on Lou Reed’s first solo album, (and he’s the dude a lot of critics fancy as punk’s granddaddy). That Howe should woefully choose to re-appear with Asia, then, seems ridiculously sub-mental, completely embarrasses his fans, l

i l l l

and only furnishes more amrnunition for his detractors. Asia’s cursed original line-up, of course, was the early-eighties “SuperGroup” that’11 forever be held accountable for the likes of HoneymoonSuite. Featuring Howe, bassist John Wetton (King Crimson, UK), drummer Carl Palmer (the dreadful ELI’), and keyboardist Geoff Dowries (the Buggles, and a desperately late version of Yes), Asia’s self-titled debut al bum was the biggest selling record of 1982. Everything went south shortly there-after. Keyboardist Downes is now the only original member still surviving with the group and appears it’s undisputed leader, while the others have all had their places filled by a rag-tag bunch of strictly Spinal Tap-fare yahoos. In reality,Howe hasn’tbeenamember for many years, so Asia’s ability to corral him as a guest for this tour testifies either to Downes’ coercive ingenuity or Howe’s present financial

Alas, before Howe had even strummed his first note the restless crowd was forced to mercilessly endure some fist-pumping-for-victory, get-out-yer-cigarette-lighter histrionics of new lead singer and bassist John Payne. His insufferable ascent to the tenure of ‘Rock’s

As expected, Howe’s masterfulcentrepiece was easily the show’s highlightandsetoffaflurryofmanic paparazzi throughout the maledominated crowd. Howe, for his part, didn’t have to work very hard to upstage the other mugs, blew through the usual “Mood For A

despair.

Either way, it was tremendous foresight because Howe was easily the reason for most of the crowd’s even being there. On Thursday, Former this was all too obvious. Asia hit thestage without Howe-- as if to prove themselves credible without him -- and proceeded to dole out five new tracks including “Lay Down Your Arms”, “Rock And Roll Dream”, and “Little Rich Boy”. I don’t, for a fact, know these to be the correct names of the tunes, but figuring out the titles of Asia songs is rarely a stretch in imagination and these seemed to be the most obvious.

Day” and “The Clap” thing, and shocked some of the die-hards by even interspersing parts of “The Revealing Science of God” into the middle of it. His meek attempts at singing, however, were about as dreadful as anybody who’s had the misfortune to hear Beginnings, (his first solo album mostly memorable for it‘s ill-conceived vocals), had any right or reason to expect. This was the show’s coup de

grace, however, and one couldn’t feel anything but saddened. Steve Howe had, after all, once been a crucial member of a group that could sell out Madison Square Gardens for a week at length and here he now was treading water at Kitchener’s Rock ‘N Roll Heaven. (It was announced prior to theshow thatsweetwascoming in March). This was truly shameful stuff, made only worse when the rest of Asia came back and played out their tired repertoire with Howe adding touches from his arsenal of guitars. By the time they played “The Heat Goes On”, (the sequel to “Heat Of The Moment” from Alpha, their brutal sophomore effort), it was clear that Asia just didn’t get it. That song, for all it’s imagined triumphant glory, was precisely fhe point where Asia should’ve long given it all up. I’ve often deliberated over this sort of bullshit. Like the Rolling Stones, you want these decrepit old dinosaurs to just do us all a favour and go away so we can remember how good they used to be. But then you see washed-up Eric Clapton’s receiving boatloads of Grammy nominations and realize just how profitable this beer-commercial garbage really is. “Music of your older brothers life” my friend calls it. It’s safe, it’s friendly. But does it’s value as art in any fashion measure up to it’s value as nostalgia? For that answer, Asia should be held accountable to some of it’s own inane lyrics. Let us in on the secret... Just who, indeed, are the dreamers now?

Sandy Macdonald, one half of K-W’s infamous Beirdo Brothers : has an alter ego. This ego is less concerned with sticking recorders up l his nose, reckless abandon, or sheer bawdiness. Instead, we are : introduced to Sandy MacDonald, one fifth of K-W’s soon to be famous Bluesynergy. Meet also, Kim Derstine (bass/vocals), Crawford Samuel : (drums), Darrel Martin (Keyboards) and Paul Mitchell (trumpet). The concept of Bluesynergy accurately reflects the mandate of ’ fivepeop le j oining to create a musical force which is “greater than the l 0 sum of all its parts.” Sandy describes Bluesynergy as “75% old style blues (drawing : upon the likes of Willie Dixon, Little Walter, and Howlin’Wolf) and ’ 25% reggae. Performing tonight at the Grad House on campus, and : tomorrow on CKMS (100.3 on your FM dial) you can expect a blend of l 50s style blues presented in a very low-tech manner. The attractive l feature of the band is their concerted effort to present socially relevant : material. “It’s stuff for 1993 as opposed to 1930,” says Sandy, continul ing, “we have updated the songs we cover, by reworking lyrics we l collectively feel may be misogynistic. A lot of the songs we do are + culturally based, filled with many good ideas. Unfortunately, there is + a fair share of bad ideas as well, and, where necessary, we have 1 excercised some artistic licence by rewriting a few words for a conteml porary context. If you miss the band’s gig tonight at the Grad House, despair not, : for they presently hold a residency at the Duke, Sunday nights. : Bluesynergy is about “having a good time without getting your ears . fried.” Bluesynergy sounds good to me. l aoemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*emm*memem*m*

Toreador, I’amour t’attend! Carmen Centre in the Squure February 22,1993 by Anna

Imprint

C.Done

staff

It’s always a pleasure to attend evening performances at the Centre in the Square. There is the exciting feeling of being a child again. One who has promised best behaviour in return for the honour of staying downstairs during an adult party; the feeling of anticipation that something truly wonderful is going to happen. It’s like a happy shared secret; intoxicating, inspiring giddiness. The Centre is also a great place to participate in my favourite pastime of people-watching. There are few places where a person can unashamedly indulge in this sport without risking the ire of those being watched. Last Monday night the Centre in the Square was the setting for the New York City Opera National Company’s production of Georges Bizet’s CARMEN. It was a one-night only affair that brought a touch of glamour and glitz into an otherwise miserable and cold February evening for those fortunate enough to ca tch this, the only Canadian date on the tour. The stop in Kitchener marked the halftiay point for the company, who are doing an exhaustive ten week, 50 city, 55 performance tour which takes them across the States. The production was very well executed considering the limitations of a touring company. The National Company fulfilled it’s mandate of providing an opportunity for young talent to perform by featuring a cast that was youthful

and professional, performing with an enthusiasm and freshness which belied their hectic schedule. This was aided in part by the fat t that the principals of the production work on a rotating schedule which uses them in different roles. This system also has its drawbacks. While you might suppose that the four principals of the opera

will all be equally talented, with the roles of Don Jose and Carmen taking the forefront singing songs which sizzle with sensuality and passion, it just didn’t happen. The singer who played Carmen, Austrian mezzo-soprano Ulrike Pichler-Steffen, was more or less satisfactory in her role, but she

seemed to have projection problems that resulted in the loss of the subtleties of her voice and detracted from the emotion of the songs. Although she was well cast as the dark seductress, her performance paled in comparison to that of Angela Ranhell who played the role of Micatila. MS Randell’s voice was a delight and joy. She caressed every note, infusing the songs with genuine passion, drawing perhaps the loudest applause of the evening. Unfortunately, for the male principals it was the same story. Tenor Brad Cresswell who played the role of Don Jose, suffered the same projection problems as Carmen, and was overshadowed by the exemplary performance of tenor Mark Molitemo. Moliterno’s voice was r&h and clear and just about the only performer who sang so I could easily understand and translate the lyrics. The cast was at a definite disadvantage performing a French opera before an audience who are exposed to the french language every day, even if it’s just from flipping through t.v channels. We can easily distinguish between a reasonable french accent and one which indicates complete ignorance of the language. Admittedly this occurred more in the spokendialogue of some of the cast rather than the songs, which are of course the focus of the performance, but it was still irritating. Despite these disappointments it was still a pleasant experience to hear some of my opera faves such as “Habanera” and “Toreador Song”, sung live accompanied by the excellent New York City Opera National Company Orchestra.

Wherever Eric McCormack’s short story ideas came from, Barbara Gowdy’s have recently emerged. Impressing a hundred and fifty or so eager and unpublished UW English student/writer types, not to mention a staid or porno professor or two, Toronto writer Barbara Gowdy read from her latest book last Wednesday at St. Jerome’s Entitled We so seldom Zook on love, Gowdy’s book of short stories, is a collection of bizarre characters and plot lines involving freaks and societal misfits. Wednesday, Cowdy read from her story “Sylvie,” whose main character is a four legged woman. Based on a real life four legged woman from the forties, “Sylvie” is a curious yet compelling story about the innocence of a young woman labelled freak by the world around her. Having grown up with her extra set of everything from the belly

Gowdy

button down (named “Sue” by her mother), Sylvie runs away to a circus side show life, knowing nothing more than a feeling of gratification from the endless line of strangers wanting to see “Sue.” In explaining were her inspiration for “Sylvie” came from, Gowdy mentioned pubescency as a trauma in everyone’s life. Within that period, she explained, everyone wonders whether the strange changes occurring with their body are.norma1 or freakish. Indeed that feeling of insecurity and hyper self-consciousness emerges from “Sylvie.” At one point Sylvie realizes the contradiction of her body in that she can pass for a “normal” (by hiding her extra legs underherskirt)butisstilla”freak.” The other freaks at the show want to hear that freedom is both wonderful, because they wish they had it, and awful, because they know they can’t. To Sylvie, though, it is both because she is truly neither freak nor normal. Gowdy’s work lends itself to the fantastic yet has definite human relativity, which is what drives her. While fielding questions she de-

scribed her experience researching the necrophiliac aspect of a story: in visiting a morgue she was struck, not only by the smell, but by the extent to which society has sanitized death out of everyday existence. By writing a story involving necrophilia then, though she adamantly prefers her men alive, she reintroduces the possibility of post mortem episodes beyond simply corpse viewing. Her fiction paints her as a writer intent on pushing the limitations of conventional society. On the subject of writing, Gowdy was sure to point out that with the appropriate amount of effort (ie everything) and support, most young writers can be published. This encouraging word to an audienceof young students came as a helpful reminder that a degree won’t a publishing career make: writing involves hours of brain overdrive and passionate relationships with ones characters. As Gowdy proved through her presentation of her fiction and writing experiences,

Wasn’t that a great story? Jesus didn’t have to justify anything to his disciples, he could just say what ever he liked and they had to listen to him. Now you might see this as a parable for t e a c h i n g US the impossibility of deriving factual statements from value judgements but I like to think he got away with it just because he was Jesus. Praise the Lord!

It has al::’ ways been clear to me why Gene Loves. Jezebel has never made it&time. Every: time I heard one of their songs8 I got the crap scaredoutofme, Oh well, that’s their sound-haunting, and while their latest wmvenly Bud-:: ies is their best, there are still many, many rivers to cross. To GLJ, there have always been ‘little things’ which stood in the way of how well their releases gained mass reputation. With the release of their last album, Kiss of Life, GLJ were unable to tour North America because of visa problems, and thus unable to promote that album as well as desired (Not that it would have made that big of a difference). You’ve probably heard their singles ‘Jealous’ (from Kiss of L@) and ‘Josephina’ (from their latest album), but with Heavenly Bodies, a new GLJ have been thrust from the womb. Withnewest drummer Robert Adams, the band has achieved a different, more professianal sound while along with their

l+t$m~

haunting vocal style of Jay Aston before this album. Now, with a new style consisting of a ‘bassier’ sound, GLJ has been able to overcome their Dracula impressions (complete with high heeled shoes) and make melody rise above haunting vocals. With Peter Rizzo on throbbing bass, ‘Wild Horse’ conveys a hard, almost grunge rock sound never before imagines from CLJ. The single ‘Josephina’ was released in October 1992 and received substantial air time. This sinthough, gle was not a great showing of GLJ$ ‘new ,,$?~i.!d, /’ .< :y’._Othei. new %&‘dq, from :~:j&e’: l$nd are : h&ri$ ‘;+ch ;@&;;as..f~ji gh;cslwl~ 1:.Cbly .our: :.$&cl ‘In.

Overwhelming Colorfast, you say? Interesting neo-psychedelic album cover to correspond with the band name. requisite Beatles’ cover tune (“She Said, She Said” off the Rez&er album). Must be some sixties revivalist band. Fortunately not. These guys wear their influences on their sleeves (which are attached to Hiisker Dii concert shirts). In fact, Mu&Music’s Simon Evans described them as a cross between Husker Du and the Beatles. I would replace the latter Eroup with The &earning Trees for grnork apt description. Upon first listen, the Hiisker Dii cobparison becomes obvious, as lead singer Bob Reed sounds eerily similar to Bob Mould. The song “Veil” could have easily appeared on any later-era Hiisker Dii album, and their version of “She Said, She Said,” is reminiscent of “Hoover Dam” off the recent Sugar release. However, this is not to say thatoverwhelmingcolorfast issimply a Hiisker Dii clone band. “Loser,” as the title may imply, is a Nirvana-style grunge-fest, while the gentle guitar hooks of “Arrow” are similar to those of the Screaming Trees’ heavyweight Gary Lee Conner. Although they employ many one word song titles that seem to be the rage with current “alternative” bands, they do come up with a gem in “Totally Gorgeous Foreign Chick” followed by the appropriately named “Song in D”. As usual, a lyric sheet would have been welcome, but not entirely necessary; as the words are readily discernible and not terribly inciteful. The first three track are nonetheless catchy, especially the lead-off single and video, “It’s Tomorrow.” There really isn’t a weak song to be found, My one complaint is that several songs, most notably, the minuteand-a-half “Veil,” could be a tad longer. The production chores are handled by alternative super-producer Butch Vig, which raises the question of who is primarily responsible for the great sound on this record, Although I’m a big fan of other Butch Vig productions, including Nirvana’s Nevermind and Sonic Youth’s Dirty and L7’s Bricks are Heavy, and I’m not familiar with K’s live act or previous recordings, I am willing to give the band the benefit of the doubt. All in all, this is a great debut for the San Francisco band who were voted “Best New Band of 92” at the Bay Area Music Awards. I haven’t beenable to remove the album from my5-disc rotation since Tpurchased it a month ago, which is a pretty good sign.

The word Poison scares away a lot of people who jump to the conclusion that a band with that name must be another thrash metal conglomera te. However, Poison happens to be one of the more popular mainstream hard rock bands of the late 80’s and early 90’s. Although this Pennsylvania foursome can play some really heavy riffs, they have shaken the banger image and have enjoyed multi-platinum success on three consecutive studio albums. Look What The Cut Dragged In went double-platinum, Open Up And Say Ahh achieved platinum status five times, and Fksh & Blood hit the mark on three occasions. And just when you thought Flesh & Blood would not have as -1 >agooa t a sruaio successor, Poison releases Alafive Tmgue.

Mr.

Thomson, none the less, still enjoys the recording.

Soularummer Ricki Rockett pegs “Strike Up The Band,” the hea&st cut in the set, as a lyrical reflection of the pre-Poison era and the trials and tribulations of being a want-tobe bar band. The title track is a brief congo drum intro, coaxing you into “The Scream,” a potent opener. Percussionist Sheila E. appears on both songs. “Stand” the album’s first single, is an anthemic mainstream cut backed with vocal support by the Los Angeles First AME Church Choir. Just as “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn,” “Something To Believe In,” and “(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice” have a principal message of standing up for your rights and beliefs, “Stand,” “Stay Alive, ” and “Blind Faith” on Native Tongue carry the same theme. “Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice),” flavoured with acoustic guitar and organ, is a song which grew from a riff Kotzen played at rus auQition ror a spot with the band. “7 Days Over You” displays great bass rhythms by Bobby Dal1 and ,the sounds of the Tower Of Power horns. However, the true highlight of the album is “Bastard Son Of A Thousand Blues”. The song feahres a great solo by Lynyrd Skynyrd l

Award winning British novelist, Paul Sayers’ Absolute Game involves the confession of a perfect murder. Yet, however perfect it may seem at first, the ensuing disclosure only serves to make the actual murderous act, more and more questionable. By turning his audience into the unwitting confessor, Sayer has crafted a cunning and captivatingly voyeuristiti read. Dealing entirely with the profession of one Bob Mumo, a social worker who defines himself as being in the “absolution game,” Sayer’s novel serves as an apt vignette of life in a Northern town. The regional atmosphere and environs are captured and enhanced by Sayer’s well-honed sense of dialogue. The true to life tone of the novel’s conversations advance the storyline in &n almost filmic manner, As a portrait of northern existence, it is genuine, evoking the darker side of the pub lifestyle than what is seen on the likes of ‘,‘Coronation Street.” Mumo’s town is a landscape shaped by the factories, and fuelled by large draughts of ale guzzled by workers attempting to

“slake their powerful thirsts.” It is a town where ambitions runlow, and violent tempers ride high. This is the environs in which Murno has strived ion his, mission to create a piece of heaven on the earth. Attempting to pursue a more humanitarian vocation, Bob gives up a lucrative job as a London-based engineer, and indirectly, his marital status, when Caroline, his wife, leaves him to his new found career in the north. Murno’s northern exposure while working as a caseworker for Social Services, satisfies ‘his deep need to practice altruism. However, in retrospect, Bob cannot be sure who was better served by his propensity for caring -- his social work cases or his own ego. When we meet Bob, he is busy professing “the troublesome business of (his) piety.” While Bob’s piety is firmly rooted in the secular world, he describes his ministrations in religious terms: “Once though, I really did see myself as saintly, a good man. A martyr? Perhaps.” Yet Bob’s good samaritan pose is all in the past, as he is quick to confess that he killed a man. His murderous revelation continues for the rest of the novel, divulging his social workings, depicting his acts of altruism, and revealing his foi-

epiphany is one of his case subjects, ,William Duff. This case illustrates the fabricof Munro’s doctrine while acting as a catalyst for his imagined fall from grace, William ,Duff swaggers into Munro’s life as the angry young man. A lackadaisical minor in need of shelter, atid some semblance of direction, Duff is thrust into Munro’s life. He is seemingly a simple case; a hostel is found, and employment arranged. But Munro’s work withDuff, a loosecannon with murderous intention, is far from over. Duff’s conflict hits crisis when he wantonly kills a shopkeeper. In the ensuing manhunt, when Duff is cornered, Munro is called in to mediate. only, his mediation turns into termination when he absolves Duff of his mundane crime by aiding his suicide. In the end, Bob Munro’s confession falls short of repentance. By not seeking absolution or pardon, Munro’s confession becomes only a pontification of his own role in a homicide. Even at this final moment, Munro cannotshake his selfcentred nature. Instead, the novel leaves him poised to inform the authorities of his “helping hand“ in Duff’s suicide, fully willing to take the blame for something in which he only

Thus Paul Sayer leaves Munro’s fate with us, for after hearing his confession, it is now our turn to play the absolution game.
