Women indecent

of Senate’s hands tied over . Dance

2y Nutulie Onurka mprint Staff

Judge Katie McGowan found ix Ontario women not guilty of :ommitting an indecent act by hoosing to expose their breasts in lublic last summer to protest Gwen acob’s conviction. The verdict was ~ouncedonthemorni.ngofMonky March 1, in a provincial court louse of downtown Kitchener. Acquitted were: a student of Yatertoo-Oxford District Secondry School, Tamara Robinson of ‘etersburg; University of Toronto taff member Anne Hansen; Adel imold of Cambridge; former UW tudent Renee Beneteau of citchener; UW student Sheena JcGrath; and a young offender vhose name cannot be disclosed. Twenty-one year old Jacob, a tudent of Guelph University, atended the hearing to support the women and was pleased with the rerdict. Jacob was convicted in December 1991 of committing an ndecent act after she walked along 3uelph streets baring her breasts. “My lawyer is sending a letter o the attorney general to see if he’s going to pursue the case or lot,” said Jacob as she referred to ker own appeal. Reflecting back to he day she removed her top in jublic she said, “I had no idea that t would come to what it has curently come to, no concept, the story Las circled the globe.” Defence attorney Clayton iuby took the case dn at no cost to he women charged as he feels the natter is a significant one and de‘erves attention. “The issue is important be‘ause it affects a great many vomen,” said Ruby, “and because he whole idea of freedom of exjression and equality are issues vhich we have to work on hard.

sions get built up and society becomes more and more repressive and more and more irrational.” “What essentially she (Judge McGowan) said today, [was that] the presentation of a breast in a non-erotic way is a woman’s choice,” continued Ruby. “As long asit’snoterotic, womencancontrol how that is viewed and not have it criminalized because some men view all breasts as being sexual.” “There’s no one who’s likely to say that the mere exposure of a naked breast is going to harm anyone, that’s the simple way of looking at this case,” commented Ruby. Jacob, who is studyingphilosophy and women‘s studies, thinks that men have a more relaxed attitude in general. “I think the majority of men are mature enough to handle it,” said Jacobs. Looking into the future she went on to say, “I don’t really

It’s not some real or implied threat that they’re going to get arrested.” “If you don’t have control over your own body then what do you have control over?” related Jacob, “you need the personal freedom before you can go into the larger issues.” The July 1992 Waterloo WalkA-Breast rally, sight of the arrests of the six acquitted women, was one of several rallies held across Canada that summer. All rallies were held in protest of Jacob’s conviction and the Waterloo rally was the only one where women were arrested for exposing their breasts. Three of the women said they had “no regrets” and would participate in this type of freedom of expression again. “I find it very hopeful too, just

Among the topics of discussion in Monday’s Senate Executive Meeting was the pending decision on Dean Bob Norman’s motion to phase out Waterloo’s Dance Program. The result of the discussion: Senate has no mandate toYmake a decision in the area. Although Senate’s role is to ensure the excellence of Waterloo’s academic programs, it is each faculty’s decision on admission levels, (herefore Dean Norman neds no further acceptance from any body to phase out Dance. This came as a shock to anyone whohaswitnessedthedrama&& began unfolding in January with Dean Norman’s motion at Faculty council. At the Faculty Council meeting, Norman congratulated the Dance students on the strength of the lobby they had put together in such a short time, and stated that if they took their case to Senate, a solutioncouldmostlikelybefound. This was in line with the tack pursued by James Frank, the Chair of Kinesiology, who called for a vote to kill Dance at the Faculty Council level, on the grounds that if AHS saved dance, Kineisiology would be hurt. Whereas if AHS voted to kill Dance, Senate could be convinced to find a “solution on the University level.” Stud&t leaders present at the meeting, including Feds President Dave Martin, and GSA President Darren Me&r, both called for a specific vote on Dance at Senate, rather than just implicitly eliminating Dance by passing the budget. Said Martin after the meeting, “The senior administration seems reluctant to let the issue be voted on at the Senate. The message they are sending is that the closing of the Dance Department is really under the authority of the Faculty Council, and that decision was made already.” At the previous Senate Finance meeting, Dean Norman stated that Senate had no authority to tell his Faculty what to do. Coupled with Monday’s Senate Executive meeting, many people are left wondering why Norman referred the matter to Senate at all. At the Senate Undergraduate CommitteemeetingDeanNorman was the most vocal of opponents to saving Dance. At the last full Senate Meeting, he stated that he wished there was some way he could save Dance, but the money just was not

I’m happy that the court has looked at women and acknowledged our existence.” “I really admire Gwen, I don’t know how I could have gone through this on my own,” explained the young woman who’snamecannot be released. “I think that it would have been awful, especially for the first time and the harassment was unbelievable. I think the support between all of us was just amazing.“ “I don’t think I would have enjoyed doing this on my own,” 24 year-old Sheena McGrath added. Assistant crown attorney Denise Dwyer is going to review the case before she decides whether or not to appeal the case, reported the K-W Record.

In defense of his decision to drop the ad and run the editorial, Verdun said that he is not against homosexuality, but rather, promiscuity. “If two people want to live together in a stable, monogamous, responsible relationship I don’t care what sex they are,” said Verdun, adding that he thinks “bisexuality is crap.” Verdun also noted that the reason gays are so suseptible to AIDS is because of their promiscuity, point&g out that two uf his friends had died of AIDS because of their homosexual promiscutiy. Regarding GLLOW’s possible complaints to the Human Rights Commision, Verdun said that it would be a waste of time.

Pascal lecturer Contemplates Christian university by Ken Impfht

Bryson Stow

The twelfth annual Pascal lectures on Christianity and the university were held this last week, featuring Canadian poet Margaret Avison. The lecture series is named after Blaise Pascal, a seventeenth century French academic and Christian. Pascal is remembered as a predecessor of Newton in establishing Calculus and as an author of Christian meditations. Bringing to campus noted Christian academics, the lecture series focuses on challenging the university to search for truth and intellectual inquiry through Christianity. This year’s lecturer, Margaret Avison, fits this billing well as she has won two Governor General Awards for her religious poetry. She was also the writer in residence at University of Western Ontario from 1973-74,

At her opening let+, which she gave on Tuesday March 2 at the Theatre of the Arts, Avison spoke on truth in communication. Avison focused on the difference between life inside the university and life inside Christianity. She noted that, in the university, discussions usually take place between two viewpoints, as persons are re1uctantJo express opinions, instead relying on other people’s theories (well, Heidegger would say this...). In Christianity, however, Avison says that discussions take place between people with “blind spots.” These blind spots are the places where people can’t see their own mistakes or constructions. She says that through discussions as people, we can help each other see our blind spots, and therefore work towards realizing truth. Avison also wondered what it would be like to sit in on a discussion between undergraduates on whether it is better to know everythingaboutsomethingorsomething about everything. . Another. I fault of the I university, a 1 she says,. is that people tend to be-

come fenced into their discipline: and aren’t able to see other view points or versions of reality. The primary obstacle to tht university, though, is that it is mart interested in theories than in truth which can only be found in Christi anity, says Avison. The task of tht university, then, should be for aca. demics to approach their studier the same way they would scripture with a quest for truth. Her argument against tht exclusionary of other academic dis ciplines other than one’s own ir creating truth, however, seemed slightly incongruous with her owr Christian perspective. After all# Christianity doesn’t have the greatest record of tolerance for other re ligious perspectives. Beyond her opening lecture or Tuesday,Avisonalsospokeon”Un= derstanding is costly,” Wednesday, and gave two seminars on Poetry and Art on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

Do you want to know how to handle yourself effectively in unsafe situations? Do you have concerns about the safety on UW campus? These are only a few of the issues dealt with in presentations and forums sponsoreh by the Federation Women’s Issues Board, as a part of Women’sInternational Week that will address personal and campus safety. The first event hosted by the Women’s Issues Board is the Street Smart seminar presented by ShaughnessyHowell Inc., a Kitchenertrainingcompany created by two professional women, that teaches personal awareness and safety. The workshop will cover numerous topics including: the most common times and places that attacks occur,and how to create your own personal safety system. Marion Howell, a consultant, program planner and Senior Partner of the company will conduct the Street Smart Seminar held on Monday March 8th from 2:30-3330 in Biology 1 room 271. As reported by The London Free Press, Howell’s objective is,“trying to teach women to be more aware.” Asecondeventaspartof Women’s International Week is a Public Safety Forum on Friday March 12 at 2330-3330 in Biology 1 room 271. The forum’s aim is to address student concerns regarding safety on campus. According to Pauline James, Chair of the Women’s Issues Board, “Safety is a continuing condem and this forum is a great way to expose students to the safety resources available while. enabling them to give us feedback.” Several speakers from representative campus safety organizations such as the Campus Police and Student Security, Health & Safety, Services for Persons with Disabilities, the Safety Audit Committee, and the 0mbudsperson will lead the forum and answer student concerns. Students will also have the opportunity to voice their opinions through a survey provided at the end of the forum. The Women’s IssuesBoard will also sponsor two Brown Bag

Along with assistants Natalie Onuska, Edmond Chow (and you thought he was an engineer), and Kat Piro, they present to you the tenth anniversary edition of Phoenix (it used to be called Poets’hauS and online, so don’t get confused). The book will come out on March 16th, and everyone is invited ’ to come to the unveiling ceremony (party) at the Bomber that night. According to Clint, this will be a “casual and shmoozy evening” with some music, some poetry, some booze and people, who, after weeks of hard work, are ready to let their pants down. So let’s recap Webster’s: Phoe-nix\‘fe-niks: a pocketsize book of about sixty pages, of all kinds of creative endeavours by members of the UW community, including works by acclaimed Canadian authors Gregory Cook and Susan Musgrave (who were both Writer-in-Residence at UW at some point). All that for only $1. Phoenix has risen from its ashes, ready to shine for another 500 years. Come join us at the party, March 16,8:OO pm, at the ‘Shelter.

Phoe-nix\‘fe-niks: a legendary bird which, according to one account, lived 500 years, burned itself to ashes on a pyre, and rose alive from the ashes to live again. That’s .what Webster’s has to say about it. Has your imagination woken up yet? Are you picturing how you will save your love from the fangs of a vicious dragon, carry her across seven bridges, endure seven years of hardship, only to taste one sweet moment of utter bliss and die while she kisses your face, professes true love to you, dagger ready by her side? Most people are usually not quite this heroic, excep t maybe Clint Turcotte and Lindsay Stewart, two undergrads at this fine institution. They’ve spent the past few months working through long gruelling hours of computer glare, stale coffee, shiny happy music, endless phone calls with photocopy shops, and wading through five million submissions of depressed pre-menstrual poetry. “..Qh, ah, I am in love, the sun shines so bright...” But the odd sparkle of truth in the pile made the work worth while.

Concerns have been raised by students that the parking lot in its current state is poorly lit and a definite safety hazard. The parking lot is used by faculty during the day but is open to students as paid parking at night.

By developing a new lighting system it is hoped that more students will utilize the parking lot at night. The new lights were first turned on this past week.

Bridging

the Denultimate gav:

Can UW.engineers -survive the world today? By Ffunk Seglenieh Imprint Stuff . In the second last “Bridging the Gap” lecture of the term, Nabila Yousef tried to answer the question “Are Engineering Graduates Ready for the Workplace?” Mrs. Yousef comes with some impressive credentials receiving her Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Waterloo in 1970 then working at a few companies before starting with Ontario Hydra in 1978. Here she has advanced in the crown corporation until today she is the Director of Engineering and Construction for the Pickering Nuclear Power Station. With this experience, she observed that the needs and requirements of industry are constantly I

changing and that Waterloo, with its co-op program and innovative style, is well equipped to handle these changes. Four specific areas of change were outlined in the talk; these being society, the market, technology, and managerial style. The traditional area of change for the engineer is in the field of technology, and in today’s world even the pace of change is accelerating. Thus, industry today is looking for people who have made learning a way of life and not just stopped the learning process when they left university. Market changes are also rapidly changing, fierce competition in the marketplace cause companies to search for innovative products and services which will be wanted by the fickle public. Here the worker

must stay on top of market changes and be able to foresee what. the consumer will want in the future. The pressure on companies to keep up with these changes can cause tension and anxiety in the workplace to which managers must be sensitive. Here the managerial style has to change to allow for everybody who is working for a project to feel part of the big picture. The final change is the change in society’s attitude and behaviour. This can be seen in such legislation as employment equity and environmental laws which show that not only are the publit concerned with the job getting done, but having it done in a way which does not discriminate against anyone in present society or in the future. In the next part of her talk Mrs. Yousef outlined the ways in which engineering students of today can be ready for this changing world. The first was on working on how to perform ingroup situations. Most big companies are seeing the benefit of this and are moving away from having specialists working in isolation, but rather setting up teams of workers with a common goal. An example of this occured when Lee Iacoca took over at Chrysler and realized that up to

then the production team would build the cars they wanted to and then would tell the marketing team I to sell that car. Iacoca realized that the market needs were just as important in the initial design of the car as engineering considerations, hence he brought marketing people into the design stage. Thus the car company actually started to produce cars which people wanted to buy. . Hence, to be marketable to a

&ire skills which are not taught as part of the regular curriculum of an undergraduate. This becomes important when an engineer needs to make presentations or write reports; these communication skills may determine whether or not a project is accepted. Mrs. Yousef said that the most important course she has ever taken was an intensive media training course, something not exactly in the typical university curriculum. The third point was that the choice of career path will to a great extent determine the amount of prestige, responsibility and pay given to an engineer in the future. The straight technological path will

from pg. 3 This leaves the “Save Dance” lobby in limbo, since they were encouraged by Norman and other AHS luminaries to take their fight from AHS to Senate, and now it has been revealed that Senate is helpless to make any change. A symbolic victory in Senate would help, but is unlikely given the level of opposition to discussion among the upper echelons of the administration. The only opportunity to effect change is persuade Faculty Council

to reconsider the motion, since they were misled in their previous decision. Those who have followed the Dance story since the beginning are now asking questions, as to why Dean Norman encouraged them to move the fight to the Senate. Why Senate accepted discussion of a moot motion, and why it has taken so long for this point to emerge. The frustrations they feel are growing, as they keep encountering more questions and no answers.

New education ministry worries OFS, OUSA iy Werun Green hprint Stuff

A recent move by the Ontario Sovemment has provincial postsecondary education organizations apprehensive. During a recent cabinet shuffle n the Bob Rae government, the vlinistry of Education and the Minstry of Colleges and Universities Mere merged into one so-called ‘superministry”. Minister Dave Cooke has been handed the portfoio for the new ministry. This move has caused some con:em among the ranks of the Ontario zederation of Students (OFS), the 3ttario Undergraduate Student 9lliance (OUSA), and the Ontario Confederation of University Facdty Associations (OCUFA). The organizations are concerned :hat, with one ministry handling ~0th primary/secondary and postGecondary education, post second%ry issues will receive less than a 3roper hearing. According to Ken Craft, Chairarson of OFS, “The amalgamation If the two ministries is unfortunate; Ieither of them will get the attenion that it deserves.” OCUFA President Saul Ross Iommented that, “Our past experionce with previous ‘superministries’, in both the Bill Davis and David Peterson eras, was [hat critical initiatives in the univer-

sity sector were often neglected. Universities play too vital a role, especially in economic recovery, to be placed on a political back burner.” OUSA’s position is that the issues facing post-secondary education are unique and special enough to benefit more from separate ministries. All three organisations, however, are expressing positive sentiments about the appointment of Dave Cooke to the Minister’s position. “Mr. Cooke brings to his new portfolio a long history of political service and an interest in quality education,” said OCUFA President Saul Ross, “We are eager to work with him to strengthen quality, accessibility and equity in the university system.” OUSA and OFS also express an eagerness to work with Mr. Cooke. OFS in particular hopes that Mr. Cooke will reverse some of the acts of the previous Minister of Colleges and Universities, Richard Allen. These acts included a $10 million cut from OSAP, a 7 per cent tuition fee hike, and the freezing of postsecondary operating grants. “Ontario students will suffer tremendously if the new minister supports the unprecedented assault on post-secondary education,” said Ken Craft. “We want an immediate meeting with Minister Dave Cooke to discuss changes that are to be made to the present system.”

Graduating

The new Ministry, for its part, is confirming its commitment to postsecondary education. John Shaligan, an official at the Ministry, stated that, “Colleges and Universities are just as important as the other things.” Shaligan also pointed out that the effects the new ministry will have are not known right now because the structure within the ministry hasn’t been set down yet. Here at home, the Waterloo Federation of Students is echoing the sentiments of the provincial organizations. They are mildly concerned about whether post-secondary issues will get proper priority, and they express optimism about the role of Minister Dave Cooke. The Feds see another benefit from the merger, as well. P&dent Dave Mar tin believes the move will lead to better coordination between post-secondary institutions and their feeder secondary schools system. Speaking about the issue in general, Dave Martin stated, “It’s a moot point.” He commented that in approximately a year and a half, we will most likely have a new provincial government, and therefore a whole new Ministry with a whole new set of policies.

Unity

of Afiikan

Descent

The Conference for tkte Unity of Students of African Descent (CUSAD) aims to unify and strengthen bonds amongst high school and post secondary students from both the Africancontinent and the diaspora. CUSAD VII will be held at the University of Waterloo on March 12 and 13 and is directed towards high school students, post secondary students, and professionals. The theme “Passing on the Torch” involves the passing on the torch of responsibility, accountability and commitment to the youth with all the knowledge, wisdom, and experience that members of our community have gained along the way. Other objectives include establishing a network system to link Black student groups, a permanent structure for CUSAD and a mentoring programme provided by university and college groups for high school students of African descent. The conference addresses issues relevant to people of African descent. An emphasis is placed on workshop participation by delegates in areas such as calendar coordination, an &apartheid activities, resource sharing, co-sponsoring speakers, networking, information dissemination, ending racial discrimination on campuses, and implementing African Studies courses. The conference will also allow delegates to showcase the progress that has been made in their community. The general public is welcome to attend and encouraged to participate in any and all parts of the conference. Featuring an adress by Dr. Asante, the conference will include workshops, a cultural show, and a dance. For more details call (416) 609-2228; Toronto, (519) 746-8784; Waterloo.

The wackos in Waco blew the hell out of the feds, along with thei; “helicopter cover and two large livestock trailers loaded with armed officers” (The Globe and Muil, March 2, 1993). The cult’s leader, David Koresh, “a guitar-playing zealot who believed in whipping babies and seizing the wives of disciples to serve as virtual breeding cattle for him,” seems to have been the cause of all of this ruckus which has Waco authorities calling for reinforcements. In fact, this little incident, combined with the presumably terrorist-planted bomb that did considerable damage to the World Trade Center in New York City, may mean that U.S. troops may have to retreat from Somalia to defend the homeland.

The architecture

The February 12 issue of Imprint carried a response to the recent report published by the Architectural Review Committee at the School of Architecture at Carleton University. That article was written by Lewis Poplak, a third year student here at the School of Architecture in Waterloo. This article is intended to clarify that, although Poplak (note the use of his surname - conclusive evidence that we do not socialize with each other . .?) is a student of architecture, his views and opinions (and his ‘review’ of the ARC report) are not unanimously supported by his peers. Throughout his article, Poplak manages to present a number of statements which could undermine the impact of the report. In one paragraph, he brings up the question of the credibility of the allegations and continues by stating that, of the 92 people interviewed by the committee, 31 of those who subsequently agreed to disclose letters of complaint were students. The motive of this statement is unclear and could suggest to the reader that complaints fromstudents are questionable. He has neglected to mention the following excerpt from the report: “In the course of its interviews the Architecture Review Committee experienced the direct force of testimony by many students, faculty, and staff, who have not only been courageous in coming forward to have their views recorded but have also agreed to have certain of their statements disclosed including their names. . . The Architecture Review Committee knows that these people have testified in good faith and that their perceptions are real. Their experiences of humiliation, disc rimina tion, and harassment and their consequent fear, pain, and rage are also absolutely real . . .” It is interesting to not how Poplak feels it necessary to close his article by saying, “One only hopes that the publicity Carleton received regarding the alleged misconduct of five of its faculty does not contribute to the forces that would just as soon see architecture schools closed for other reasons.” Although propaganda may be considered fashionable (in light of the recent referendum campaigns at European and Canadian federal levels - remember l

the Charlottetown Agreement?) this attempt to white-wash the importance and validity of the ARC report is insulting. The report is not part of a plot to weaken the defenses of Canadian Schools of Architecture in order to shut them down as Poplak suggests. It was undertaken in response to complaints from anumber of people involved at the School at Carleton and “the goal of the Review Committee (was) to find ways of giving new strength and accountability to the School of Architecture.” It becomes apparent in Poplak’s article that he is attempting to distance the remaining Canadian Schools of Architecture, from the situation at Carleton’s School. Are we really all that different? For Poplak to insist that “the unique environment documented in the report is Carleton’s and something quite apart from the environment at the Waterloo School,” is somewhat misleading. At this point one must be reminded that Poplak is a male student who has completed four of ten terms at the School of Architecture and this brings into question the appropriateness of his voice being representative of the voice of the student body. Examples of favouritism, sexism, racism, and intimidation, and its resulting fear and humiliation seems an inherent condition in a surprising number of Schools of Architecture internationally. Each school differs only in the frequency of such incidents and the degree to which they are perpetrated. The only truly unique aspect of Carleton’s environment with respect to most Canadian Schools of Architecture is the fact that they have their own building dedicated exclusively to the teaching of architecture. It is frightening to note the frequent attempts by students and faculty of the School at Waterloo to distance ourselves from the problems being reported at Carleton. All too frequently in the last two months, the most oft-heard complaint from the faculty against this report was with regards to the limits which it puts on the criticism any critiquing panel will feel free to level at a student’s project. It can only be hoped that this complaint is not intended to led credibility or validity to the negative criticism which takes the form of sexual innuendo, sexist and racist remarks, cultural intolerance, or comments motivated simply by the desire to be in control, such as the entirely subjective threat, “You’ll fail if you don’t change that.” Should we not be concerned that more could be lost than gained by pulling away from our peers at the Carleton School of Architecture and labelling their suffering as an isolated accumulation of incidents resulting

from a “unique learning envirorunenr (ir this case, coincidentally a school of architec. ture)? To isolate Carleton denies that there i! a real problem and in doing so we refuse tc accept responsibility for change toward 2 healthier, more contitructive educational en vironment for all schools of architecture. The ARC report is a heroic attempt to empower the student@ the good ufthe profession, not al its expense. The students who were brave enough to come forward in this stifling climate should not be left in isolation and made to feel as though they are the only ones whc have suffered. We all know that they are not To varying degrees, most architecture stu. dents have felt the overwhelming pressure: of the School and probably come to the con elusion that because it is a School of Architec. ture, the oppression and the unsolvable time management problems- are justifiable. The ARC report is trying to tell us thaf it is not al justifiable. nis article was written as a collective 0: students attending the School of Architecture at Waterloo. Unfortunately we feel the neec to remain anonymous in order to insure our selves against any possible detrimental m suits with regards to our future success withir this school.

Education can be a right if we want it to be, and I would dare to suggest that society, in fact, needs it to be. Economically speaking, the external benefits (It took Larry’s course to make me see this) of educating people in Canada can only be recognized as being greater than the cost if we open our eyes to the beauty and multiplied growth which a university education can cause for our society. This is antithetical to the “stronger, gentler” notion of an academic world motivated by wanting, craving and yearning for power and leadership, promoted by editorial commentator, Jeffrey L. Millar. In his article, “Education is not a right”, he insinuates that the rejected Canadian Federation of Students is somehow unrealistic to expect that low tuition fees could mean more and more students and more and more societal benefits. His perspective nicely lends credibility to the theory that anti-CFS and pro-UUSA proponents are narrow, right-wing elitists. Perhaps a little dose of a destructive TV world was in Millar’s vision when he stated that, regarding the educational process, “you must fight for it, scratch, tooth and nail for every scrap of knowledge you can find”. Would the President of the Imprint’s Board of Directors also suggest that we replace the CFS with something more akin to the WWF? David

editor,

I am writing in response to Justin Wells’ “My New Revised Feminism . . l ” (Imprint, Feb. 24). I am a feminist, presumably of the variety Wells labels “Ressentiment”. I deeply resent anyone defining my motivations, feelings and actions in such an offhand way. The only part of his definition with which I identify is that I do “despise oppression and all things associated with it”. I do not seek revenge; I seek healing in a broken world. I do not seek anyone’s pity; I seek a genuine acknowledgement that our society continues to oppress women, people of colour, homosexual people, differently-abled people and the poor. I do not idolize men; I am a woman and have absolutely no desire to be male. And although I sometimes do take a break from my struggle due to bum-out (“demoralization”), I do not “excuse myself from action”. Unless I act for change, I cannot reasonably be unhappy if change does not occur. Wells’ “new feminist” refuses to negotiate for change. Where there is no negotiation, conflict cannot be constructively solved. As a feminist, I am actively seeking an end to the violence (physical and other) that is too often employed to “resolve” conflicts. Wells’ “new feminist” does not seek help from anyone else; she sounds like a very lonely person. She believes-in acting in her own self-interest at al times, ignoring the desire to help another in trouble that is integral to our humanity. The “new feminist’+ believes that turn-around is fair play. This belief lies at the root of the vast majority of war and violence in this wotild. The “new feminist” sees a need to behave more aggressively. ‘Aggression is an innate human emotion (according to most researchers). It is in the expression of aggressive feelings that men excel; most of the wars, murders, rapes and assaults in our world today can attest to that. Does Mr. Wells really believe that this would be a better world in which to live if everyone was to express his or her aggressive nature in such harmful ways? Inhisclosingparagraph, Wellsasserts,“l

refuse to change”. This is painfully obvious. Men have always tried to dictate how women are supposed to think, look and act. Justin Wells has now continued this tradition in trying to dictate to me how I should respond to male oppression and our misogynist society. Rather ironic, isn’t it? Now women not only have to deal with men oppressing them fromabove,butwealsofacetheoppressionof men pushing at us from behind, presumably in the belief that they are “supporting” us. Watch out ladies -- it looks like we’re about to get squished in the middle. Heather McCance 3N Peace and Conflict gious Studies

editor,

Re: “My New Revised Feminism: Paving the Way for the Superwoman,” Justin Wells, February 16,1993. I am pleased to see the Imprint is not afraid to address socio-political issues like the feminist movement. However, for Justin Wells to offer himself as prophet to the movement is ridiculous. The article assumes a conqueror/conquered stance based on gender, which is characterized by a feeding frenzy for “power.” I agree that true power is based on self-awareness and self-respect, but to argue that many women are victimized because they allow themselves to be abused is a naive view of this world. To associate “women who enter feminism after enduring abuse . . .” as “feminism for the sick, the weak and the helpless” seems a justification of today’s imbalanced legal and so&-political realities. I find the violent language of the “new revised feminist” inadequate and shortsighted. A new world of gender equality based on danger, fear, mutilation and suffering cannot sustain valuable change. It still calls for dominationand submission. If Justin’s anthem “I am gaining strength, I too shall do this,” which recalIs “an eye for an eye . . .,” were applied, we’d all be blind. I look forward to Justin Wells’ next political feature. Perhaps Native issues, the black movement, or gay liberation organizations, too, require such insightful direction?! Nicki Beume Alumna

No night. for Night TO the

class Owls

editor,

I am writing this letter to comment on the unavailability of night classes at the University of Waterloo. Since I can’t afford to be a full time student anymore, I must rely on night classes to complete my degree. I don’t know about other faculties, but it is impossible to fulfil the requirements of an Honours English degree unless you are a daytime student. On page 9:19 of the Undergraduate Calendar, an Honours. English-Literature degreerequires”fourtermcoursesfrom31OA, 310B, 31OC,330A,330B,350A,35OB, 362,363, 410A, 4lOB.” Not one of these courses is offered as an evening class in either the Fall 93 or Winter 94 terms. What do I do when I need three more of this group to complete my degree? Correspondence courses are an option, but only four of the group are offered, so choice is limited. I tried a correspondence course last fall, but I found it a difficult exercise as the professor on the tapes did not mark the ass@.ments. Other correspondence students have told me that this often happens. Also, why should I have to choose this option when the University is less than a kilometre from my house. I Iike attending class. I like theotherstudentsImeet,andIlikebeingable to ask the lecturer questions. Althoughmyneed toattendnightclasses comes from being a part time student, full time students also benefit from night classes. Aonceaweekclasseasesthecrammedsched-

ules of frazzled full time students. In fact, I doubt there are many students carrying a five or six course load who have a daytime minute to spare. Night classes ease their load as well as mine. So what’s the answer? I know the University is facing a financial crisis, and as professors leave they are not being replaced. And I sympathize with professors who work all day, and then teach a three hour night class. But I also sympathize with part-time students who work all day, and then attend a three hour night class I realize that my English degree requires specific courses, and I am willing to complete those courses, but I shouldn’t have to become a daytime student in order to do so. The English department needs to take a look at what courses are required and when courses are offered. Currently, beyond the 200 level, only 3 required courses are offered as evening classes for the coming academic terms: 305A, 3058,313. I’m not a Math. student but here goes: since a completed Honours English degree demand 10 specific courses beyond the 20 level, and I am only able to get 1 of those courses in the fall and winter, makimg my total 7, I am still 3 courses short. The six courses I already have plus the one I can take in the fall don’t add up to ten in Math or in English. Although my complaint lies with the English department, I’m sure other part time students in other departments have the same problem that I have. A glance at the 93/94 Course Offerings List tells the same sad story. So few night classes are offered in any faculty, not just Arts. It certainly would be kind if all faculties looked at their requirements, and at the difficulties non-traditional students face in fulfilling those requirements. Even if the whole student body isn’t grateful for this consideration, I know the 8,549 part time students (or slightly more than half the University Undergraduate Full Time Student Enrolment) would be. I was hoping to graduate from this University in the spring of 1994, but so far it looks like my faculty won’t let me leave. Ann 4th

Sex Kitten not Justin‘s Idea To

the

ed#tor,

A semi-nude sex kitten with a sword is hardly an archetype for aggressive feminism, yet Imprint pasted just such a picture on my feature last week (“My New Revised Feminism,” February 26,1993) without telling me. When1 first saw the picture (Friday moming in my copy of Imprint) I said: “Hmm . . . Nice boobs, but what the hZI are you doing in my article? Whatwoman would identify with you?!” My feature was meant to reclaim feminism for those who were alienated from it by left wing cultural theory, but I suspect my audience flipped (the page) when they saw this picture. I quote the editorial page “The opinions expressed in columns, comment pieces, and other articles in these pages are strictly those of the authors, not of Imprint.” In fact Imprint editors routinely express opinions in these sections with ironic, sarcastic, or controversial pictures and headlines. A picture or headline modifies a text the same way an adjective modifies a noun. This is not how respectable newspapers behave. Imprint should adopt a policy of clearing the headlines and graphics for an opinion piece with its author. justin

Wells

Editor’s note: It has been my experience that controversial graphics, especially within the forum s&ion, make reclcjers more likely to dive into thearficleratherthan tumthepage. Ofcourse,my claim begs the question ujwhether the graphic of thewoman is controversial in Uzejirst place. The graphic, which does nof necessarily evoke R “sex kitten” with all viewers, is appro@te considering that your primwy claim is that women must match men,% aggression to succeed. Consult other papers, those which you consider respectable, and see how many of them have the time to clear all graphics and headlines with

contributors.

Canadians are under an on-going and self-perpetuating illusion that they cannot compete in the global economy. This is being helped along by the scare tactics of various groups who are convinced that competition is a euphemism for self-destruction. Unfortunately, because the country is now in a recession, this view is one which gains credibility for reasons unrelated to trade. Despite opposition, Canada is presentlyembarkingonanagreement, NAFTA, that would reduce trade restrictions throughout the continent. It is imperative that we not allow the sHalled nationalists to hamper progress in reducing the barriers to success. When a country reduces tariffs, there is a great deal of long-term gain, with relatively little short-term pain. The obvious benefits from such an action is the immediate reduction in cost to the consumer. Goods are cheaper because more competitive products no longer have the tariff appended. Cheaper goods means moreconsumerspending,andthusahigher standard of living. The government loses the revenue from tariffs, but gains from the higher volume of sales. When such an action is carried out in tandem with one or more other countries, Canadian goods become cheaper in those countries, thus producing jobs in Canada. Therefore, the jobs lost in ineffective industries are gained in other sectors, with a net benefit to us, the consumers. In the short run, the effect of an economic barrier such as a tariff is to save the jobs of inefficient producersand raise prices for consumers. In the long run, the effects of such barriers are even more insidious. Manufacturers are discouraged from com-

peting with their foreign counterparts on price. Therefore, there is little or no incentive to seek more cost-efficient methods of production and prices remain high. Furthermore, because there is no research, the country becomes more unlikely to ever be able to compete on the intemational market. In theory, the idea of a tariff should be to protect a market until it can compete. On the contrary, it encourages the levy of higher and higher tariffs, because industries don’t know how to compete without one. Some people believe that we should not sign another trade agreement. The Mexicans, they say, work at wages that are so low as to drive Canadians out of work. Unfortunately, the measure of a person’s wages is not an adequate measure in the cost of production. Our wages should be high for the simple reason that we can produce more per hour than can the average Mexican. This is a result of our education, our social security system, and our work ethic. However, if it turns out that foreigners can produce the same goods, with the same quality for a lower price, then we, as consumers should be expected to buy their products. To do otherwise introduces a notion of social welfare to the wage structure. To continue coddling our workers in such a manner is to continue borrowing from our future. It’s time we opened our eyes to the global economy and the opportunities it offers for our prosperity. It’s time we gained some self-confidence about our ability to compete in a dynamic marketplace. It’s not the time, and never will be, to sit on our hands whining about the disappearance of the status quo. We can either remain stagnant and watch the world pass us by, or we can challenge the world head-on.

Like the ocean is your god-self, It remains forever undefiled . . .* - Gibran Two summers ago, I had more fun with a job than I have ever had in my life. I worked in a daycare with children aged between 2 and 12 years. I have to admit that that was a rather unusual place for a chemical engineer to be, but I was between degrees, and had the time to do something that I really wanted to do. The daycare was like a cIassroom and the children taught me a lot about life and human nature. While I was there, playing and interacting with the children, it seemed to me that one of the most unhealthy aspects of our society is the incessant focus on the negative, bad, or evil elements within us. Children know when they have done something wrong, but to believe that they themselves are bad is not intuitive; rather, it is something that we teach them, just as we ourselves have been taught. For myself, this teaching was re-enforced by a Christian institution. I was taught to believe that I was an evil, vile sinner, and always would be, regardless of however much good I did in my life. Looking back, I realise that believing this teaching hindered my ability to see myself as a person of value, and promoted the notion that there is not much point in trying to change the way the world operates. I think the fruit of this teaching is a closing of the mind - a kind of mental abdication of the responsibility of using our God-given brains. Difficult questions are either suppressed, or given simple answers, and people become followers, ready

to swallow teachings once the credentials of the authority have been established. The problem is that the teaching itself is not truly tested, or does not continue to be tested for relevance, as if to say that a teacher or authority cannot be right in one aspect, but wrong in another. A large component of Christianity for me is looking at injustices in the world such as third world poverty, or the oppression of women and minorities, and recognizing that they are wrong. This leads to the concept of a societal guilt or sin, which can only be confronted and challenged by individuals such as you or I who make up society. To make real changes in how I live my life and work for societal changes requires a belief in the inherent goodness that is inside me, and of which I am capable. When I focus on myself as a person beloved by a divine being, I am given the courage to say “I feel this is wrong,” or “that behaviour is hurtful to someone.” If the focus on sin leads to an erosion of self esteem, then I say the focus is wrong, because I feel that we are called to work for social change, and to do so we must question everything from society to the assumptions it is based upon. And to do this-effectively, we must believe in ourselves. * - This was obviously written long before it was conceivable that humans could pollute something as incredibly vast as the oceans.

Is Gwen Jacob the beginning of the end for big bad patriarchy? Will Gwen confound the evil objectification of women? Will going topless liberate women after a million years of oppression? Give me a break. Off hand I can think of a half dozen African countries where women routinely go about without a top. The women in these countries are so liberated they routinely have their clits cut off, so that they don’t get any ideas about enjoying sex. I think “Walk-A-Breast” is a big waste of time. Mind you, a harmless waste of time. Suppose Gwen has her way, and the silly law that prevents women from exposing their breasts is struck down. Will the world come to a screeching halt? I doubt it. I objectify women’s legs all the time, and there’s no law against exposing those. It would be dangerous to let women go about bare breasted: dangerous for women. They’d get assaulted and raped. Then we would chase down the rapist, lock him up, and say to the woman: “You stupid idiot, what the hell were you thinking? Of course you got raped!” But I say let her decide for herself whether she wants to take that risk. Let her decide for herself when it’s safe to undress, If she screws up, she, and not we, pays the price. Sure we can jail the rapist for his crime - but that won’t make her feel any better. Women are bright and intelligent and can make Qecisions like thks for themselves. As you may have noticed, I stole this argument lock, stock, and barrel from CamiIIe Paglia’s line on date rape.

Objectification: So what is to be done about the objectification of women? How do you stop a man from objectif * g women’s breasts? You don’t! I objecti r women’s breasts all the time. I’m proud of it. I have all sorts of ideas in my head about the ideal woman, about beauty, about sexuality. It’s what makes me human. It’s wh I’m intelligent. How can I say this w ITen I got angr over the picture attached to my feature Past week? (See my letter to the editor.) My feature communicated an idea of a strong, aggressive sort of woman, whereas the zcture communicated an image of a sex E itten. I liked the objectification of women inherent in the icture, but it misrepresented my artic r e. Objectification has another name: Abstraction. We call it that when we’re being nice to it, when we’re praisin it for showing us how to create and do a if the wonderful thin we’ve created and done. Every cultural r evelopment has been an objectification: All art, all culture, all science, and even language itself is an objectification of somethin , You know where we’ cf be without objectification? In a cave! Nobody would ever have said: “Gee, maybe this cave is nice because it has walls and a roof. Gee, maybe I should b&d a house!” The normal human reaction to desire is objectification. The brand new bicycle I’m planning to buy seems so ideal in my mind. The trip to the Caribbean I haven’t gone on yet is ever so perfect. Similarly, the abstract women I haven’t met yet is flawless and beautiful. Despite my illusions, the rainy Carribean trip is fun after all, the imperfect bicycle makes me happy anyway, and I still say to the woman I meet: “I Iike you just the w&ysyou _a=” me! Objectification turns out to be a goodYflln g after all. But doesn’t this condemn women to the miserable fate of trying to live a male fantasy? Hardly. I never said you had BY be my fantasy girl. l

The placeof womenwithin Islam by Sameh

E Rehan

The position of Islam on this issue has been among the subjects presented to the Western reader with the least objectivity. One major objective of this article is to provide a fair evaluation of what Islam contributed toward the restoration of woman’s dignity and rights. In the midst of the darkness that engulfed the world 1,400 years ago, the divine revelation echoed in the wide desert of Arabia with a fresh, noble, and universal message to humanity: The Holy Q&an. The Qur’an provides a clearcut evidence that woman is completely equated with man in the sight of GOD in terms of her rights and responsibilities. The Qur’an states the following: “Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, Verily to him will WE give a new life that is good and pure, and WE will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.” [translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verse 16:97] The status of women in Islam can be evaluated by considering the position of Islamic teachings towards women in the following aspects: spiritual, social, economic, and political.

The Spiritual

Aspect

In terms of religious obligations, such as the daily Prayers, Fasting, Poor-due, and Pilgrimage to Mecca, woman is no different from man. The Qur’an states the following: “For Muslim men and women, For believing men and women, For devout men and women, For true men and women, For men and women who are Pa-

tient and constant, For men and women who humble themselves, For men and women who give in charity, For men and women who fast (and deny themselves), For men and women who guard their chastity, and For men and women who engage much in ALLAH’s praise For them has ALLAH prepared foriveness and rest reward.” o f the meaning of the Btranslation Qur’anic verse 3335 ] In some cases, indeed, woman has certain advantages over man. For example, the woman is exempted from the daily prayers and from fasting during her menstrual periods and 40 days after childbirth. This is clear1 a tender touch of the Islamic teat x ings for taking into account the physiological and psychological changes associated with her natural female functions.

The Social Aspect The Qur’an forbade female infanticide, a custom that was socially accepted among some Arabian tribes before Islam, and considered it a crime like any other murder. The Qur’an criticized the attitudes of such parents who reject their female children. The right of females to seek knowledge is not different from that of males. Islam requires kind and just treatment for females. In this regard, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) says: “Whosoever has a daughter and he does not bury her alive, does not insult her, and does not favor his son over her, God will enter him into Paradise. According to Islamic Law, women cannot be forced to marry anyone without their consent. The

importance of taking counsel and mutual agreement in family decisions is also emphasized in Islam. As the woman’s right to decide about her marriage is recognized, so also her right to seek an end for an unsuccessful marriage is recognized. The Q&an is the only revealed scripture that explicitly limited polygamy and discouraged its practice by various stringent conditions. One reason for not categorically forbidding polygamy is that, in different places at different times, there may exist individual or social exigencies which make polygamy a better solution than either divorce or hypocriticalmonogamy while indulging in all types of illicit relations.

The Economic

ents and near kindred leave, Whether it be a little or much - a determinate share.” [translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verse 4:7] In Islam, man is fully responsible for the protection and maintenance of his wife, his children, and in some cases his needy relatives, especially the females. The responsibility is neither waived nor reduced because of his wife’s wealth or because of her access to any personal income gained from work, rent, profit, or any other legal means. On the other hand, woman is far more secure financially and is far less burdened with any claims on her possessions. Her possessions before marriage do not transfer to her husband and she keeps her maiden name. She has no obligation to spend on her family out of such properties or out of her income after marriage. If she is divorced, her ex-husband will be financially responsible for the children and she may get an alimony from him.

Aspect

A woman’s right to her money, real state, or other properties is fully acknowledged in Islam. She (single or married) retains her full right to buy, sell, mortgage, or lease any or all her properties. It is also noteworthy that such right applies to her properties before marriage as well as to whatever she acquires thereafter. There is no decree in Islam which forbids woman from seeking employment whenever there is a necessity for it. Moreover, there is no restriction on benefitting from woman’s exceptional talent in any field. In addition, Islam restored to woman the right of inheritance. Her share is completely hers and no one can make any claim on it, including her father and her husband. The Qur’an states: “Unto men (of the family) belongs a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, and Unto women a share of that which par-

The Political

Are women similar to men? NO. In Islam, the natural and indisputable differencesbetween women and men do not imply any “supremacy” of one over the other. The differences imply rather the “complementary” roles of both the sexes in life. , Such compassionate and dignified status of women in Islam was decreed, not because it reflects the environment of the seventh century, nor under the threat or pressure of women and their organizations, but rather because of its intrinsic truthfulness. If this indicates an thing, it would demonstrate the J ivine origin of the Qur’an and the truthfulness of the message of Islam. Unlike human philosophies and ideologies, Islam which established such humane principles was far from proceeding from its human environment. After all, this is the final message of the All-Wise, All-Knowing God “ALLAH” whose wisdom and knowledge are far beyond the ultimate in human thought and progress.

Aspect

In Islam, woman is equal with we call today “political rights.” This includes the right of election as well as the nomination to political offices. It also includes woman’s right to participate in public affairs. man in what

Leddy Plan

Co-ordinator

Next week, Imprint will publish a feature on the design of the new student centre. This week, I will explain the background of fhe project, the size of the new facility, and its proposed program. In January 1992, UW students approved an ambitious $10.25-dollar plan to improve the quality of student lifeon campus. The plan encompasses three phases: a new physical recreation facility (currently under construction adjacent to the Columbia Icefields), a campus-wide endowment fund for student life initiatives, and a new student centre. The fund this plan, students agreed to pay a $10 per-term fee between spring 1992 and fall 194. The opening of the new centre is planned for fall 1994, at which time this $10 fee will be removed and a $25 capital fee will be collected until the centre is paid off (approximately 25 years). We are currently in the design phase of the new centre. Torontobased architects Cratit 0rtved Architects Inc., in a joint venture with Curruthers Shaw & Partners, have been selected as project architects. These firms have extensive exp&ience in dealing with similar projects and student user groups. The new centre will be designed to complement the current Campus Centre; it will actually be an extension of the C.C. towards the math and computer building with a second floor link to the physical activitiescomplex. Renovationsand other improvements to theC.C. will be desiped and completed in conjunction with the new space. The

new space will total 35,000 square feet, while the current CC. totals roughly 50,000 square feet. The combined facility (extended C.C.) will included the following new space: new lounge space; a large reading area; several new meeting rooms; roup work/ study rooms; new o IIfices for the Federation of Students; new student services area (ombudsperson, Fed services, international students office, etc.); new clubs space, resource room, meeting room, and kitchen; a new Quiet Pub where the current Wild Duck Cafe is located; a large multi-purpose area (for art exhibits, movie viewing, s eakers, etc.); a new food court an B seating area; a new centralized information desk; a reorganization or current

retail outlets into one visible area; new retail outlets; an expanded games roomin anew location (three times the current size); an area for library reserves currently housed in the basement of the Dana Porter library; an exterior bicycle compound (fenced); coin-operated lockers; and new stora e space. The urpose o f this article, and those to Pallow, is to seek out your feedback and involvement during this stage of the project. Because the conceptual design of the facility will be completed by the end of the current term, your input is important now+ For more information, see John LeddyinCampusCentre219(across from the Graphix Factory), or call ext. 5330.

It takesa nationof racists Spike Lee Con vocation Hall, University Toron to March lst, 1993 by

Bernard

imprint

Keamey staff

What follows is the transcription of a press conference Spike Lee held before giving a lecture at the University of Toronto last Monday evening. How does it feel to be robbed again?

We did not anticipate a major nomination. We were surprised that Ruby Carter got a nomination for costumes. We thought that the only one we would get would be Denzel, so, we don’t care. Aftersuchapainstakingeffort with MaZcoZm X, what’s next for you? I don’t know what the next one’s going to be, I really don’t know. Do you have plans of getting into TV? In the future. How soon? Maybe ~0 years. After the cancellation of Sister Souljah’s appearance last year, due to threats from the right wing, what added attempts have been made to secure your safety in Canada? They try to kill her? Nobody told me that. Now I got my man right here. And his uzi weighs a ton. I saw you on Arsenio Hall, and you were talking about. . . That was a rerun. You were talking about how important it was that the story of the life of Mohammed be told properly* Have you received any formal or informal response from the Nation (of Islam) on that? No we have not. I don’t remember saying that either. Malcolm X was about Malcolm X. It wasn’t really about the life or the lives of Mohammed. Why do you think Malcolm X was not regarded as significant figure in his lifetime as he is in ours? Why? Now I think that’s pretty obvious. Malcolm was talking about a total overhaul of the United States government, so why are they going topromotehim?Whyaretheygoing to present him in the media as he really is. They’re gonna try to make him out to be a villain. Had he lived, how would things have been different? Things would be inbetter shape right now. Why do you think Malcolm X wasn’t nominated forBest Picture? The other five films are better ., probably. For your first film, you borrowed fifteen grand from your grandmother to help you out, how frustrating was it to have to secure private funds to finishMalcolm X, after already achieving a modicum of success with you’re other films? Well it was very frustrating, YOU know, but, yet 1 had no where to turn, so that’s why I had to call those people. Those were very films.

painful calls to make. I do not like calling Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, asking them for money. I did not like that at all. I was in a jam. Yeah, I’m from a high school and I was wondering if you had anyadviceforhighschoolstudents concerning racism. Advice about racism? (Pause) How to overcome it> That’s a hard one. How to overcome it? How to overcome certain stereotypes and racism going on. Gotta think about that one. Can you talk a bit about the controversy surrounding your choice to use the Rodney King footage in Malcolm X? As I understand it, there was an effort to stop it. Well, we had a contract signed, they got greedy, and they sued us. Has that died down now? It’s over, we settled, I mean it’s in the movie. Are you constantly being accused of being too commercial in terms of the black community seeing, you know, “Spike Joint” the Malcolm X and all paraphenalia? You know, what is wrong with black people owning businesses and black people being businessmen themselves?

learned a whole lot about Malcolm X and I’ve never seen a film that spurred kids to pick up and read the book, kids who have never even read before. The case in the black community is that we gotta learn, we’ve got to come together, we’ve gotta teach ourselves. Dancing, you know, that’s not helping us. You know, first of all, Sir, you’re full of shit. If you read all about Malcolm X, the first part of the film, the first part of the book, when he’s in Boston, he talks about dancin’ with the Count Basie. That’s in the book. He talks about. . . Yeah, but the film.. . No wait a minute. He prided himself on being the best dancer at the Roxbury, dancing the “Flying Home” which is the same thing we used. It’s not like we’re makin it up. I didn’t just say ‘Oh, let’s have Malcolm X dancin”’ Music was a big part of Malcqlm X’s life. We put it in there. Next. Iiow is your relationship with Norman Jewison. Fine. He handed you over the directing job for MulcoZm X. How did that come about? Did he phone you or. . . No, he read in the papers that I didn’t think he should direct the film. We had a meeting and he decided, maybe. . I was making some sense. In terms of your past achievements in film, and video, and commercials, what sort of turns you on now when you get out of bed? I’m still a filmmaker. I do other things, but all that stems from my being. I’m just looking tobemaking films for the rest of my life. Can you talk a little about the courses you teach at Harvard? I teach two classes at Harvard. One is a screenwriting class. Another class is called “Contemporary African-American Cinema.“, where we screen films and talk about them. Why did you choose Harvard over other less elitist university? l

There’s nothing wrong, I mean how many McDonalds are there in the United States of America? Fifteen Thousand? We got three stores. How’s that being too commercial. Malcolm isn’t McDonalds though. Huh? I said stores, stores. And howwasMaicolmXtoocommercia1. My impression is that’s not what the black media have been saying. You had an opportunity and achance toshow youngpeople what Malcolm was and the torture that he went through, and I think you overlooked that need. That’s my opinion Nab, I respect your opinion, but I beg to differ. I think that young people that I’ve talked to have

Harvard asked me. Other less elitist universities didn’t ask. I was talking to Nick Gomez who was in town the other day to promote his film Laws ofC;ru’~li~. He mentioned that he had met with you for lunch. Do you envision any collaboration with him? And how do you feel about his movies? I love Laws of Gravity. I called him up. I’d never met him and we had lunch and I would like to work with him in the future. The fact that he got that film made fur 37 thousand dollars is amazing. Do you find that now you’ve achieved commercial success with Malcolm X, there’s a lot more weight on you to beat it? Before MaEcoIm X, people get me confused withbeing a leader for 35 million African-Americans. I’m not that at all, I’m just a filmmaker. So, people get the lines blurred. When you say that you’re not a spokesman for35 million African Americans and then you end up making films on African American life, what does that say about you? What it means is that any statements that I make are my own personal statements. I’ve never said that my views represent 35 million people. Now that’s a big difference. When I say something, it’s my own opinion. I never try to say I’m speaking on behalf of black people. And that’s a big difference. I’m African American and like I’ve said before, my films are my own beliefs. There might be some people that think the same way. I’ve never got on a podium or a soapbox and said that I’m a spokesperson for us. Why are you running away from your responsibility? (OOoouoohhh) Hey, why don’t give me a break? Hey why don’t you loosen up your tie a little bit. God damn!! Loosen up your tie. Unbutton your top collar and -- give me a fuckin’ break here, man. Jesus Christ!!! Most of your films have dealt black-American with the experience. Do you see yourself doing anything out of the

Caribbean? For example, Jamaica? I might do something that is shot there. that Well, something examines characters from a Carribean background. Well I don’t know if I’m the right person to do that. I think filmmakers should know about the subject matter at hand. I mean, I’ve been to Jamaica a couple times, but I ain’t no expert on the culture. If I made that film you’d be saying “Yeah that’s fake Spike. You don’t even know what you’re talking about.” Your films are from an American perspective. From what you know about Canada, or from what people have told you, do you think that there is any difference in race relations? Yeah, I think there’s a difference, because there are a lot less minorities here than in the United States. I don’t think there is a place on earth where racism is not present. I don’t think that Canada has perfected it to a science like the United States has. Oh yes we have. What was it like shooting in Africa? It was great, being near Mandela and the ANC, shooting in the townships, which really are concentration camps, and despite the horror of apartheid, the people’s spirit is not going to be broken. Did you feel angry? Yeah, I felt angry. They’re gonna get what they’re gonna get, one way or the other. That’s the way I look at it. I was wondering if you could talk briefly about the significance of the FBI files and the book that came of that. And how other directors might make use of FBI and CIA files for films that may come out about other people who have been assassinated Well I think that if we look at all the assassinations, somewhere OI other the FBI or CIA was involved. InthecaseofMalcolmX,Ithinkthal they knew; They infiltrated the NationofIslam;MalcolmwasundeI

to hold him back surveillance, and they are implicated in the assassination, by the very least, by standing back and letting it happen. Do you think it’s going to help other directors to make movies where there’s more and more of these files released? I don’t know if that is the main purpose, of releasing these files. I just think that we need to know the truth about the dirty deeds that were done by J. Edgar Hoover and his cohorts. How important was Marcus Garvey to you? Very important. How did he influence you? Well, he was a strong black man and he was a strong influence on Malcolm’s father. His father was a Garveyite. His mother was a Carveyite, that’s why I included that scene. Do you consider yourself a Garveyite? No, because I don’t think the answer is all of us getting on the North star and going back to Africa. (uoooohhhhh) But, I respect the man, but I don’t think that is necessarily the answer, all of us going back to Africa, right now. At the end of your movie, you showed Mandela, and I’m curious as to why you showed Mandela in that context and didn’t perhaps show the PAC and other forms of resistance, and especially the . .. Can I ask you a question? Can I ask you a question? Name one person in the PAC. (Long pregnant pause and moooh) Give me the name of one person, the main leader in the PAC. I can’t give you the name of .+. Thank you. I was just curious .. . No let me finish. No person in the PAC is a world renown figure. I had to put a subtitle of Nelson Mandela’s name at the end of the movie. That is why. There is a natural link between Malcolm X and . .. Nelson Mandela. When you were growing up, did you have favourite movie?

Wizard of Oz. If you hadn’t become a filmmaker, what would you have pursued? Once I decided on filmmaking, that was it. You didn’t want to become a basketball player or a. . . Yeah, that was early. But once I decided in college that I wanted to become a filmmaker, then that was it. I didn’t think about failure, or not being a filmmaker. How involved are you in running your stores (Spih Joint)? I got people to run it so, I mean, I check in, but.. . it’s not my.. . forte. I read an article this morning saying that despite all the efforts of the Civil Rights Movement, in the twenty five years, the situation in America has become much worse, in terms of the polarization of the races. I find that dismal. Have you been trying to use your power in the media to help move towards racial harmony? No, I have not thought about doing speeches on racial harmony. Why? Because, I’m not a speechmaker. And anything that I can do, I think that Do the Right Thing is a greater plea for racial harmony than anything I’ve ever said. I’m a filmmaker, so look at my films. You don’t think that Do The Right Thing talks about racial harmony? Do The Right Thing got a lot of people angry. So? Exactly. Where are you from pal? (Raucuus Iaugh ter) Youpeoplejustmadeupyourmind to give me hell today. (More raucous laughter) Roll ou tta bed, “Yeah, Spike’s comin’ in.” (Turns to camem in his face) Please, you’re killing me here. In the new climate in US today, with the new president, how do you feel things are going to shape up* Well, we’ll see what happens. He really hasn’t been in office all

that long. Better than Bush. I have mixed emotions about the Spike Lee press conference. I’m the first to admit that I was genuinely excited at the prospect of being in the same room with a man who commands so much influence and power. I’m not sure if it is Spike Lee or the press conference itself I hold responsible for my gnawing sentiment of disappointment. I suspect it is a combination of the two. First I blame the press conference. Much like Tuesday night’s Consolidated concert, I find little value in a public forum that ostensibly, attempts to break down the impenetrable barrier between the artist and the public. It ends up making a performer of both parties. One in control, the other at mercy. I question the term “press conference, as there was no real “conferencing” going on. All flash and very little substance. Secondly, I blame Spike Lee. People asked Spike some questions and if he felt confident and comfortable enough to answer them, he did. If not, he employed one of two approaches: a) don’t answer it and move on (as seen with the high school student’s question) or b) turn the tables around and make the questioner look like an idiot (as seen with the PAC question). He made no attempt to overcome the problems inherent in the format of the press conference, but rather contributed to its impotence. Spike Lee was presented with a room full of people going out of their way to talk to him, and he had comewillingly. However, as the conference progressed, it seemed that he was under more duress than he would like to admit. It just didn’t seemlike he wanted to be there. This obviously obstructed the chance of any exchange of ideas or information. I must of course, acknowledge the reality of the situation. There is, after all, a room full of people all desperately vying for the man’s attention, and well, he only has so much time. It’s not like he didn’t have his fair share of stupid questions (see the aforementioned high school student) wasting both his time and mine. At the same time there were, those there interested in compiling ’ quotes rather than actually listening to what the film guru had to say. I had wanted to ask him what the . logo on his hat represented, but I didn’t want to be made to look like a fool. The intimidation of having a potential audience of millions (thanks to the folks at Global, CIV and the three major dailies) prevents one from speaking as honestly as one would, if it were a private conversation. Sandy Atwal pointed out that the hat in question sports the logo for Lee’s production company (40 Acres and a Mule). Sandy has since thoroughly enjoyed ridiculing me in front of a number of people rapidly approaching the million mark. I’m just glad I didn’t ask him the other question on my mind. Who is this mysterious Mr. X every one’s talking about, anyway?”

Newrevisedfeminism is thinly disguised,patriarchy byleffZtrvitz speciul to lmpfint

WORKING TOWARDS REAL GENDER EQUALITY Having just read “My New Revised Feminism” in last week’s Imprint, I find myself sitting at a computer imbued with a revitalized sense of purPose; I am determined to reassure women that not all men see the masculine as an ideal to which the archetypal female need aspire. The article itself -although neatly cloaked in a guise of humanitarian concern -- was insulting to women, dangerous in its underlying message, and hopefully misrepresentative of men’s general understanding of feminist issues. Given the ubiquitous nature of our assessment of women’s issues in male terms, and being presented with such a glaring example of this silent oppression, I feel it would be socially irresponsible to allow such a pervasive form of sexism to be reinforced through its misrepresentation as pro-feminist literature. For this reason, I would like to address the nature of the author’s underlying attitudes before attempting to deal with the substance ofthe article itself. The message is simple. Women, you are still doing it wrong. You are too female. You are not conforming to my rules and you don’t fit in my mould. The manifestations of this mind-set are evident everywhere from fashion to corporate politics, plastic surgery to androgyny. This implicit ‘truth’ is so completely incorporated into the fabric of life as to lose its sinister nature. Men make the rules and change them when they are no longer effective in maintaining male domination. Any author who claims that he “hopes to revise feminism because it is irrelevant to the women’s movement*‘, is engaging in this linear thinking which endeavours to impose yet another set of ‘man-made’ rules on women in their fight for equality. It is important to recognize the existence of the patriarchal assumptions which form the foundation of the aforementioned article and speak as loudly to us - as children of male domination - as do the written words.

GENDEROCIDE Having said this, I would like to turn my attention to the more specific issue of content. Scary. What is forwarded as a revision of feminism is nothing less than ‘genderocide’. Any proposition that we could afford to replace the feminine elements of our culture with a ‘new masculinity’ is pre-

posterous. The arrogance of the author to suggest a re-creation of the female in his likeness is similarly laughable. Unfortunately, these views seem to be resolutely held and thus require a more complete analysis to ensure that their fallibility is exposed. All of us have attributes which may be qualified as masculine or feminine. It could be argued that these aspects of our personalities are implicitly male or femaie and exist within us from birth, or you might prefer to postulate that the only real division between masculine and feminine qualities is an artificial one which we generate through our culture. Regardless, it is important that we define equality in such a way as to include an understanding of the equal nature of both ‘male’ and ‘fernal e’ traits. Similarly, any definition offreedom must include our freedom to glorify and celebrate both our masculine and our feminine natures equally.

SLANDERING

FEMINISM

The assumption that feminists exist primarily in the form of Y. . bitter, angry and resentful (women who). . . chose issues with which people will take issue . . s to gain pity.. . much as someone with a toothache wants the whole world to know about it” is demeaning. To suggest that women who are constantly denied access to their history, objectified, undermined, overlooked, over-powered, patronized, intimidated, criticized, victimized, and systematically excluded from our social power structure should stop whining and take control of their lives is to fail to understand the psychological effects of this oppression. It is not possible to fully appreciate this as a male to whom just rewards come from conscientious efforts. However, even if a dramatic overhaul of feminism were possible through such a simple act as ‘standing upandtakingwhatis yours,‘whywould anyone want our society to degenerate to such a barbaric level as the author proposes. Claiming that women who have found equality should be “arrogant by assumption,” and that a real woman should “only care to rule,” is asking us to accept that humanity is not capable of any social order beyond the wielding of ‘big sticks.’ This vpe of fragile existence would be implicitly exploitative and most definitely no more equalitarian than our present patriarchy. In addition to devaluing the worth of femininity and attempting to reduce us as a species to some testosterone fuelled lowest common

denominator, the article manages to trivialize such important issues as pornography and male violence. By suggesting that a woman should “end the male monopoly on pornography and create her own,” the author is demonstrating his ignorance of the damaging nature of this exploitation and Ihgitimizing its existence. Likewise, to state that 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!” is to make light of the physical, mental and sexual abuse women face with alarming regularity. To folfow this insensitivity with the boast that “My New Revised feminist professes aggression: she is naturally aggressive. She says, I ‘overcame myself and am no longer weak” is to practice the timeless male art of blaming women for their abuse. The inference is sickening. Although this overview merely scratches the surface in its efforts to reveal some of the more obvious flaws with the author’s criticism of the women’s movement, I hope it has at least been reassuring to those women and men who might have mistaken Wells’ views for those of men in general. I would encourage the reader to look further into the many aspects of the article which I have not sufficiently addressed such as the male ideal of female power displayed in the accompanying artwork or the author’s insistence that he knows what is best for women: how they should think and how they should set Pleasenotethenumberoftimes he uses the phrase My New Revised Feminist as if women were mere toys created by man and updated upon his whim. (I 5, I believe) Also, don’t fail to extend this critical eye to everything else you read, hear or see.

ISSUES

do more than merely criticize the prevalent ignorant attitudes and tend to the casualties. We need to propose new methodology for creating our societies. We need to invent new systems of gender collaboration. A society which breeds such extensive oppression and abuse must view all of its citizens as the victims. Sy no means is this intended as justification for the actions of men who resort to violence. Rather, it is an attempt to recognize their feelings of futility, inner rage, and isolation as by-products of a society which has failed them. People who beat their lovers and abuse their children do not act in a vacuum. These are unhappy people and they too have been victimized by their world.

PERPETUATING

ABUSE

In my view, these problems of oppression and abuse are generated by both male and female socialization, but are most doomed to perpetuate themselves by the fact that while the role of women in our society is increasingly questioned and reinterpreted, a similar reevaluation of masculinity is not taken seriously by men and women alike. For this reason, there is an escalating potential for a serious gender backlash as women are encouraged to break down social barriers and develop into complete people while men’s stereotypical roles are left stagnant and unfulfilling. When this scenario is coupled with a power structure that is still male-dominated, friction turns to abuse. For society to push for equality, we must all work together. Implicit in this cooperation is a concurrent approach to analyzing men’s socialization as well as women’s. Too frequently we look at male power and privilege as ‘the good life’ and scoff at the idea that men should have any reason to complain or feel oppressed. We fail to attach any weight to the sense of emptiness or meaninglessness that results from a detachment from our offspring. Men have no natural connection to something eternal, and to replace such a bond with financial or career successes is a superficial trivialization of the importance of deeper meaning in our lives. Alienation from our children makes us less tied to the need for a better tomorrow. Alienation from tomorrow makes us less attached to our actions of today. Much study has been done on the portrayal of women in the media. Sexist objectification, dismemberment of the female form in an attempt to ‘purify’ it of mind or personality, and

FOR EVERYONE

I believe that it is important for us as people, as brothers and sisters, to understand that gender issues are not simply ‘women’s issues’. Our quest for equality is for everyone. Men must realize that sexism affects their girlfriends, wives, mothers and sisters, Sexism robs our economy of some of its brightest minds, lowering our standard of living and preventing us frotiallowing our most capable people to address issue’s of global importance. In the same way, the victimization of women taxes our social system through government programs, lost labourtime, court costs, psychological damage, et cetera, in manners that can’t be tabulated on any balance sheet.

reinforcement of views of feminine passivity are all well-documented and understood as problems with the way our society sees its women. But women have each other. As a group against which discrimination is evident, women can gain strenfl from their solidarity in fighting back. Little time is spent analyzing the Marlboro man or the sports figure. These are images of people who have it all. Real men who are defined by their abilities. Strong men who need no one. This is a social problem. When men are taught that to be ‘ideal’ men they niust be self sufficient, they quickly learn that to need others is to fail. This feeling of failure must be similar to the failure a woman might feel because she judges herself to be less physically attractive than society decrees she must. Unfortunately, men have no support for their failure because to seek support is to fail. Because society doesn’t recognize men as oppressed, there is no one offering to help them deal with their inner sense of inadequacy. Lookat the grown men around you. As youths they had strong social allegiances with their peers but as they aged and became ‘men’ their gatherings became task-oriented. They now meet to watch or play sports, work, or fight at war. Never to talk. Their views of each other are based on attitude and performance. They expend much physical energy, but emotional release is strictly forbidden. The only soul-mate a man has is his lover. Here is a problem. The only release of mental rage permitted to a male is a female whom he has been socialized to see as inferior and in need of his support. This inability to appear weak keeps him from properly venting his anger and purging his soul. He can’t talk about feeling inferior or being hurt by someone’s comments. That would be unmanly. It is not enough to liberate women from male oppression. We need to increase our reliance on each other so we may better understand where our previous attitudes came from and why they oppress us.

STEREOTYPES LINK THE SEXES We, as a people, must learn to break this chain. It needs to be understood that we are all losing out on what we could be. Men and women need to support each other and reevaluate how they perceive the concepts of ‘male’ and ‘female.’ We need to recognize the problems we each face, the expectations placed on each other and the ways in which we perpetuate them. We must mke everyone’s hardships seriously. Each of us has something to give. A positive outlook, a shoulder to lean on and a lack of preconceived expectations as to who.1 am or should be are as important as Take Back the Night marches and topless’ protests. It would be too easy to alienate each other and work at crossed purposes for us to trivialize our mutual reliance. To return for a moment to last week’s article, I hope this response has made some progress towards illuttrating the short-falls of the author’s arguments. The problem is that society is failing to choreograph its gender agendas. We all have much to learn and much to gain by trying. Perhaps Wells should spend less time fighting to shape the ways in which women should change and divert his efforts into attemptingto articulate the ways in which he would Ii ke to be able to change. Equality should emancipate all of us.

own

conduct

K-W gained national notoriety again this week following the decision of Judge McGowan to acquit the six women arrested for being top-free last July. The women had participated in the Waterloo WalkAbreast rally, protesting unfair gender discrimination and specifically the decision to uphold Gwen Jacob’s guilty verdict. The rally was organized by the UW Women’s Centre and a WPIRG men’s group. Clayton Ruby appeared as defence counsel, working on a pro bono basis. Denise Dwyer, an Assistant Crown attorney, prosecuted the case after it was turned down by several Crown attorneys. Judge Katie McGowan, currently of the Provincial Division court in St. Catherines, presided over the case. In the interest of encouraging people to form their own -- preferably educated -- opinions, I have chosen to dedicate the bulk of this space to excerpts from Judge McGowan’s written decision, The quotations represent approximately twenty percent of the physical decision. Copies of the entire decision may be read in the Women’s Centre or the Imprint office. The

Video

Tape

“The Crown’s case rests solely upon the evidence of the police officers who were on duty at the rally. A video tape of the rally was made by one of these officers and filed as an exhibit in these proceedings. I have found this film to be quite helpful as it depicts the demeanour of the demonstrators as well as the onlookers.” “The men and women who are topless appear to do be doing nothing more than milling around in the crowd. No-one shown on the video appears to be either offended or titillated by the exposure of the breasts. Indeed, I was struck by the somewhat blase attitude of the fully clothed persons in the immediate vicinity of the bare breasted persons. Except for the police no one appeared to be regarding the bare breasted females any differently than the bare breasted males.”

might bring about some good.” “The Crown did not call any expert witnesses to dispute the opinions of these three experts. Their opinions endured cross-examination and I am of the view that they remain uncontradicted and unchallenged.” ToBeratie?

“Each of us has an obligation to conduct ourselves in a manner which is within acceptable standards of tolerance. It follows that there cannot be any element of moral turpitude where the conduct is accepted or tolerated by the community.” “8oth Crown counsel and defence counsel acknowledge that the proper test to be applied in determining whether conduct is indecent is the community standard of tolerance test” “Defence Counsel argues that the testimony of the expert witnesses is compelling evidence of the community standard of tolerance. He strongly urges the court to consider their testimony in light of the Butler case and to forge an enlightened view of a community standard of tolerance which is defined in terms of social harm. This argument has merit..” “It is an established principled of law that the assessment of the national level of tolerance rests with the trier of facl~” “In the case at bar the Crown has not called any evidence, expert or otherwise, to comment on the national level of tolerance. The accused persons, however, rely upon the expert opinions of an anthropologist, a psychologist and a teacher.” Indecenti

Harm

“The first expert was Dr. Penny Van Esterick, an anthropologist ... she hypopthesizes that since society clearly tolerates some eroticism in the mode of dress of its members, then surely it must tolerate bare breasts without eroticism.” “Dr. Ronald Langevin is a psychologist and expert in human sexuality . .. he concludes that the conduct of the five accused women would fall within the Canadian standard of tolerance.” “Kay Armatige is a film maker and instructor of Women’s Studies . .. her research leads her to conclude that exposing breasts in the context of a protest rally is within the Canadian standard of tolerance.” “All of the experts have testified that Canadian society of today would tolerate women baring their

“It is possible that the Supreme Court of Canada has added a new dimension to the determination of “indecent acts" by suggesting that the conduct must be somehow harmful to the proper functioning of society.” “Some conduct which is not necessarily harmful may meet the Canadian standard of tolerance test, Nonetheless, I am of the view that it is sensible, and in most cases appropriate, to consider the Canadian standard of tolerance test in the light of the’ degree of harm likely to flow from the impugned conduct” “In the instant case none of the experts could define any harm accruing to society by the conduct of these women. On the contrary, they felt that society would appreciate the motivation of the accused and be, itself, motivated to address the rights of women to control their own bodies and to define their own sexual integrity.” “The Crown contends that such conduct is potentially harmful since society is not yet ready to accept the prospect of exposed female breasts and there are persons who will be incited to commit sexual assaults. In the very least the majority of citizens will be disturbed by such conduct and their negative reactions may result in breaches ofthe peace.” “The harm thus envisioned is at best speculative. As has been pointed out by the experts, society has already accepted substantial nudity in many settings of erotic context It does not seem logical, therefore, that the non-erotic exposure of female breasts would not be tolerated. While many persons would find the behaviour of the accused women tasteless and offensive to their individual morality, they would nevertheless tolerate it in other persons. Furthermore, the prospect of sexual assaults is not realistic. Sexual assault is a crime of violence which is not related to the state of dress of the victim but is directly related to the state of mind of the perpetrator. To suggest that the non-erotic exposure of female breasts will provoke an assault is to promote

“Were the circumstances of the case at bar similar to MS Jacob’s case, then I would be compelled to accept the position of the Crown and the matter would end there. However, the only similarity between the two cases is that in each case the accused womenexposed their breasts in a non-erotic fashion in a public place.” Freedom

expression

“It is my view it is unreasonable to censor expression of this sort unless it is proven to be harmful.” Summing

“I have assessed the Canadian standards of tolerance independently of the expert evidence, as well as in the light of the expert evidence and also in the light of the corn-ments of Sopinka J. in R. v. Butler, supra, and under the terms of each analysis I find that Canadian society would abide this behaviour, Undoubtedly, most women would not engage in this conduct for there are many who believe that deportment of this nature is tasteless and does not enhance the cause of women. Equally undoubtedly, there are men today who cannot perceive of woman’s breasts in any context other than sexual. It is important to reaffirm that the Canadian standards of tolerance test does not rely upon these attitudes for its formulation. I have no doubt that, aside from their personal opinions of this behaviour, the majority of Canadians would conclude that it is not beyond their level of tolerance.”

Arre?sted and innoccrnt by Sheena McGrath special to Imprint

It is a wonderful thing that I was found not guilty of indecent exposure for taking my shirt off last summer. I and the other five women (four adults and one minor) were vindicated, and the judge recognized how community standards have changed. Unfortunately, the law has not changed. Since this case was tried at the lowest level of court the decision is not a precedent. Gwen Jacob’s appeal was denied by a higher court However she’may be appealing this decision and the climate which allowed our victory may also work in her favour. Even so, the status of a shirt-free Canada iscurrently uncertain. Certainly after this rather protracted court case the police may be reluctant to lay charges again. Since K-W was the only place to arrest women during a series of protests last summer the police may be reluctant to expose themselves to charges of being overly prudish. I don’t mean to be too negative about the reaction. We won and the support was fantastic. We also managed to generate an incredible dialogue in the community about the issues involved. The fight isn’t over yet but we’re a lot further ahead than than we were before Gwen Jacob started.

Tits

and

by Nancy Forde special to Imprint

“To God, obscenity is not uncovered flesh, it is exposed intention, Was Adam any more naked when he discovered the Tree of Knowledge? Yes.” -- Calvin Miller, The Singer * This quotation encompasses for me the reasons I attended the topless protest in Waterloo last August in support of Gwen Jacob. Many claim there are more pressing issues with which women should be concerning themselves. I disagree. For me, the topless issue is about choice. In this way it is related to abortion. it is about the objectification of women. Therefore it concerns pornography. (I do not speak of what I consider to be erotica -- the difference for me lying in whether the images are degrading to women/children whether obvious coercion is involv6d -- but that is quite another issue.) And it is about sexual attitudes and responsibility for those attitudes. Therefore, it relates to rape and sexual assault Abortion, pornography and sexual assault dre pressing issues for women and Gwen’s case bears important implications for each of these issues. Let’s consider the gender discriminatory aspect for the arrests that were made. I am not by any means trying to convince anyone that a woman’s chest is identical to a man’s. Certainly topless men were present at the protest with larger tits than mine. Neither do I deny that female breasts can be sexual. They are secondary sexual organs. They are not genitalia. Any doctor will confirm that. Their sole purpose is to provide lactation to feed offspring. The fact that they arouse men is a result of a North American obsession. Their sexual function is purely related to the reproductive process as mammary glands with which offspring are fed. Yes, the nipples do become hard when sexual arousal occurs. But then, so do men’s nipples. This sexual arousal is not a breast’s purpose but its reaction to sexual stimuli. Nipples also harden when exposed to cold air. Big .deal. The point is that North American

ass

obsession

obsession with “tits and ass” has encumbered the female breast with a sexual association it should not be made to carry. The purpose of the breast is neither to be exploited for profit nor to provide sexual titillation (pardon the pun) by and for men. That breasts lactate is not secondary to the sexual excitement they provide. It is not a fluke -- it is a lucky coincidence. Lactation is the reason breasts exist on the female body. Why are a women’s breasts considered indecent? The only reason breasts may be considered “indecent” in our society is because they have been hidden away fo; so long. Women’s ankles were

considered “indecent” before the turn of the century. Man’s sexual obsession with the female breasts does not make the breast indecent, just that man’s obsession. My friend, Helen, carried a sign at the protest that read, “If you have a foot fetish, does that make my feet indecent!” The point was made. Consider Judge Payne’s opinion, when hearing Gwen’s case in the fall of 199 I, that “men have the right NOT t& be sexually stimulated in public by the sight of a woman’s breasV’ Once again, men’s rights taking precedence over women’s rights. If men and/or women find the sight of breasts offensive in public all I can say is “tough titties !” It’s comparable to a bigot feeling he/she has the right to walk downtown without being “offended” by the sight of a blaik person. Just deal with it! Anyone who suggests that, if women go topless, the incidents of rape will increase is once again failing’ into the societal trap of blaming the victim and not the rapist. To suggest that a women “deserved” to be raped, “asked” to be raped or was “unjustly” raped depending on the degree’s and type of clothing she was wearing is not only ludicrous but repulsive and a gross

injustice to women everywhere! No woman “deserves” rape. No woman “is asking for it.” No rape can be considered anything but unjust, regardless of what the women wore when it occurred. Thankyou Judge McGowan for finally making this point clear. Gwen herself claims the issue is about choice. And it is. What is crucial in this issue as in the abortion issue is the importance and the need for choice. The protests were not an initial step “on the road to legalising complete nudity in public.” Such a suggestion is inane and completely undermines the point the protests were making. Gwen and the women who took part in the protests last summer (myself included) were not demanding that women take their shirts off but that they might have the choice. The right to choose NOT to have an abortion and NOT to remove your shirt in public is EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT as the right to do so. I have absolutely no intention whatsoever of walking bare-breasted downtown or down the street and I would resent living in a society where I might be forced to do so. Neither would I wish to live in a society where abortion is obligatory once I have had one or two chitdren (as is the case in China today). Gwen’s intention when she removed her shirt was not sexual gratification but to feel more comfortable and to challenge societal standards of what is “indecent” and what is not. A standard she felt needed changing. I thank her for her courage. Congratulations sister! And to all my sisters out there, join with me by celebrating International Women’s Week in “mammary” of Gwen, Adel, Renee, Anne, Sheena and Tamara and women like them everywhere! Emancipation and empowerment to you all!

Pregnancy choices by Sonia Prevost-Derbecker special to Imprint For years Health and Safev has refused to UW pregnancy statistics. This is not surprising. What is surprising is the lack of information mat&fat &ailabte to womyn Faced with an unexpected pregnancy. To alleviate this problem the Womyn’s Centre has developed a unique new service entitled CHOICE AID. The service operates as a support network allowing womyn faced with decisions surrounding pregnancy the chance to hear of other womyn’s experiences; these experiences are personal and vary greatly; everything from abortion and motherhood to both open and closed adoption are available to the caller. As well the service offers a variety of counselors from around the city who specialize in either adoption’ abortion or parenting counselling. Even though the network is still in its early formation’ response has been positive. Indeed, it is the only seryice of its kind in our province. The womyn developing this network have come across one problem (it wouldn’t be a good story without one) information booklets and promotional material are costly... running into the thousands of dollars. Representatives from the Womyn’s Centre will be addressing the Endowment Fund Committee on this issue Wednesday March t 0. Hopes are high that funding will go through, but if not the Centre is confident finances can be met somehow. In the meantime the service wilt struggle to stay afloat. We have no choice -- support for womyn is something which cannot be compromised. For more information on CHOICE AID call the Womyn’s Centre at extension 3457. publicize

woman on the rag.” A hiappy, carefree dyke is even harder to work into the world picture since her “outmess,” however large or small, says “l’m proud, I’m happy, I’m me, I’m a lesbian - get used to it” It’s not up to lesbians to babysit the straight world, for they should be old enough to take care of themselves. “God” knows they’ve been “out” long enough. As long as there have been women, there have been women who love them. As long as there is bigotry, there will be sisters who will fear to love who they love, and this is NOT FAIR. Women who love women: dykes, lesbians, gay women, queers. Call us what you will. We’re here, so get used to it. I’m a dyke, I’m proud! Happy international Women’s Day to all my lesbian sisters and to ail women everywhere.

Last year I wrote an article for the IWD pullout about women and anger, and the difficulty most men have when the two go together. This year I thought I’d write about women who love women, which causes a different type of dificulty for some men, and for some women too. Part of the difference in reaction comes from the fact that lesbianism canbe easier to hide than anger. (You don’t have to hold hands with your lover if you don’t feel safe -- but anger is a feeling thzit cannot often be suppressed at will.) Once “exposed” or otherwise revealed’ however, lesbian women are more threatening to the way the world functions than almost any “bitchy

Ever wonder if lesbians can get married? Adopt children? Sponsor their partner for Canadian citizenship? I have! It seems almost every wqek we hear of another court decision that is changing the face of lesbian and gay rights iir Canada. CarolAllen, a feminist lawyer from Toronto, will be speaking on Friday March 12th at 8 pm in Davis Centre room I304 in celebration of International Womyn’s Week, Ms..

Ms. Allen will be discussing Lesbian Rights, where we are today and where the law is headed. A group discussion wilt occur after her speech so come with questions! The recent Supreme Court decision denying a Toronto man equal benefits for his same sex partner has ieft the lesbian and gay community in a quandary.

In fact why don’t we all lie back and dream for a while... into idealtand where homophobia ceases to exist, where I no lbnger hear the moronic, ignorant, idiotic, dimwitted phrase “That’s so gay”, where I can hold my partner’s hand without people staring at us trying to figure out which one is the guy, where I don’t have to hear the oh-so-condescending phrase “Isn’t that great that you two can hold hands”, where every womyn with short hair isn’t assumed to&e a lesbian (in my wildest dreams!!!), where... ok I woke up and mmmm what a dream. We are at a crossroads today. Canadian society is poised to either head into the Twenty-first century by giving equal rights to lesbians and gays or we will regress and re-enter the repressive conservative state that has existed in the past. We must tell our legislators that Canada is ready for an equal, unopressive society. We must educate ourselves so we know what we have left to fight, bgin this week by coming out to hear Carol Allen.

lNtERNATloNAL WOMEN* s DA), RN Where do men fit into the women’s movement? From the controversies over the white Ribbon campaign to the dispute a few years ago over the name of the Women’s Issues Board (some wanted it changed to “Gender Issues Board”), it is obvious that the place of pro-feminist men in the feminist movement is unclear. What role can men legitimately play in the women’s movement without disempowering the women involved? How should women in the movement enlist male support in their struggles? There is no doubt that the process of making men and women equal in society requires the co-operative efforts of both genders. The questions arise when we try to more clearJy define the respective roles of women and men in achieving the full equality of all persons. The bottom line is this: the feminist movement is about women achieving women’s goals using women’s tactics. This may seem exclusive at first (and it may in fact be) but it is necessary. Women need to become equal on their own terms in their own way; if men define the ends and the means, women are not truly equals, Every year, at the “Take Back the Night” march in September, men become hurt and upset that they are asked not to march with the women. When the Women’s Centre requested a “Women Only Space” at the memorial for the victims of the Montreal Massacre, we were met with suspicion and resentment. The Women’s Centre itself is a women’s space except during specified hours when men have access to the resources (Thursdays, IO:30 to I2:30) or when they wish to bring up a specific issue at a meeting. We are not “a bunch of man-hating feminists;” this is not our intent. Women have for too long derived their power from the men in their midst Having spaces and times together as women he!ps us to see that women can be powerful, that we do not need the support of men to accomplish something. , This is a fact that many people do not understand, and it is important (This is especially true in so-called “politically correct” organizations which assume that

women have already achieved full equality in that context.) Women need time together, to work, to dream, to cry, to heal. And often, having men present can prevent these activities from taking place. Men probably need time together, too, although for very different reasons. Pro-feminist men need to define for themselves what it means to be male without being violent, sexist, or abusive of power, They need to work on discovering a healthy masculinity for their own lives, on getting in touch with their own emotions. In this context, having women present would be unhelpful. Having said this, we do need men to take political action to help bring an egalitarian society into being, but these men need to keep in touch with women in their action. (This has been one of the criticisms of the White Ribbon Campaign; many

need men not only to talk about the issues with other men, we also need them to Stoltenberg, “politically correct litanizing is not going to do ic deploring racism, sexism and heterosexism until you’re blue in the facti won’t make male power budge. Political action makes male power

budge. Just do it.” If you are truly a pro-feminist male, however, you cannot decide what needs to be changed, or how

it needs to be changed. You have to listen to those who have experienced male oppression, and how they think things need to change. You can offer suggestions; you can sympathize. You can talk to other men and find out what their experiences are, and share these with the women. But above all, you need to respect women’s goals, ideas and dreams. And this, by the way, is up to you, not us. Most women’s groups are already

’

too busy to check into every men’s group to let it know how it’s doing. At the same time, women need to listen to men to discover what methods would be most effective in bringing about change. We need to ask men, “Would this poster make you stop and think?” if we want men to respond to our campaigns. And, if we are to bring about full healing, we need to acknowledge that many men are uncomfortable with their positions of privilege, but unsure how to change them. One thing to keep in mind when you’re evaluating your activity; “if you ain’t caught shit, you ain’t done shit? That’s right folks, and it goes for anyone, male or female, who is trying to bring about any kind of constructive change in society. It has been called the “backlash,” and it happens whenever you have made trouble for male power. This is one of the main reasons behind the current wave contempt for “Feminism;” feminists have actually made a difference, and have in return received a lot of retaliatory anger and resentment that has to do with the fact that they have threatened male power. As pro-feminist men begin to take on some of the work of transforming society, it makes sense that they will also receive some of this backlash. As a feminist, I welcome the help that profeminist men can bring to the movement. But I will make demands of them. I will demand that they let women speak, and that they will listen. I will demand that they act, that they not just talk I will demand that they leave behind their assumptions about what women want or-need; men have been acting on such assumptions for too long. I do welcome you, but maybe I have attached too many conditions for you. lf that is the case, perhapsyou should re-examine your motivat&ns fur beF@ng involved in the women’s movement in the first-place; if you can’t listen to women’s concerns and act for them, then in whose interests are you really acting?

Occasionally one of these candidates-would be elected, but none followed through with such a promise. Why? I like to think these people became educated, hence understanding the foolishness of such a backward move. More likely, they encountered solid, well-reasoned opposition from people who use the Women’s Centre and people who recognize the importance of recognizing misogyny. The last few years have seen a similar backlash, this time aimed at changing the Federation of Students Women’s Issues Board to a Gender

Issues Board. Their reasoning is irrevocably based on palatability; it is uncomfortable for some university students to be confronted with the existence of a Women’s lsswes Board, surely this misogyny thing must be outdated? Consistently the Women’s Centre has supported the creation of a Men’s Centre and/or a Men’s Issues Board.

themselves issues specific to the social construction of the male gender. They want to eradicate a Women’s Issues Board/Women’s Centre in the name of promoting gender harmony. What historical evidence -exists to support assimilation/ annihilation promoting harmony amongst stratified groups? Considering only my experience of UW

women’s groups over the past six years, there is a clear trend of students who have donated litie (if any of their time) to women’s and/or gender issues, demanding that students who donate much of their time to women’s issues to fundamentally restructure existing women’s groups. Though these people often claim misogyny is a crime of the past, they are inevitably empty handed when it comes to comparative statistics, unaware of the day-to-day workings of the Women’s Centre, unread with respect to feminist critique, unappreciative of the experiences of the masses. Backlash is an increasingly well known occurrence for women’s groups. Some say it is an indicator of progress, and they have a persuasive argument Inevitably at UW, backlash has come from those experieoting%t& peaks of bureaucratic power and directed at those who threaten traditional sources of power, those fighting to end oppression, be it on the grounds of sexism, racism, homophobia, classism...

The number of cosmetic surgeries performed in North America in I99 I increased six times to 2 million from 1981. This reflects a progression of the industry from a pastime of rich movie stars like Liz Taylor or Michael Jackson to an option for women and men of all backgrounds. According to CBC Radio’s Sunday Morning program, the large majority (about 70%) of surgeries are performed on women. This is not surprising, considering the unattainable ideal of beauty that is perpetuated by the media. An example of this is the vast number of breast augmentations that are requested to alter the breasts to a size 36C; as one surgeon described it- to ‘Barbie size’. Despite the huge publicity of the silicon breast implant disaster, more women than ever are choosing to have breast surgery. It seems that not only do many women feel that they must be physically attractive in order to succeed, but they must also deal with society’s obsession with maintaining youth. Women in western society are not permitted to age gracefully - women become haggard while men become distinguished as they age. Perhaps the underlying problem is a general fear of aging, since aging signals impending death and there is no happiness in dying. This is compounded with our society’s negative views of the elderly. Many elderly women-and men do not receive the respect or acceptance that their aged counterparts attain in other societies. These factors combine to pressure women to seek methods of maintaining youth for as long as possible. And these invasive methods are not

cheap. In fact, most routine procedures cost several thousand dollars which is not covered by health insurance. Surgeons, however, are using several marketing techniques to “sell” their product/service. It is common to see advertisements promoting affordable tummy tucks, liposuctions, and facelifts for the cost of an average holiday (with results lasting a lifetime!). As well, active efforts are made to target younger women and the less affluent by implementing payment plans and emphasizing value for their money. Most of the surgeons and marketers involved in this multi-billion dollar business are men, which suggests that the beauty myth is being encouraged by this male-dominated fiekl. One of the few female cosmetic surgeons in North America, Dr. Camille Williams claims that she understands women’s need for cosmetic surgery. She believes that in this society, women must look youthful in order to get what they want She realizes that this situation needs to be

changed, but feels that women must first reach positions of power (by becoming ‘beautiful’) in order to be able to affect change. However, Dr. Williams is missing the point that by having surgery, these women are supporting the very values that they would be fighting to change namely, that appearances are more important than abi lit>r. Many women would ,argue that if cosmetic surgery makes them feel better about themselves, Vd then it is acceptable. The truth remains that b plastic surgery is a physical solution to a societal )4 problem. Women must look inside themselves 4 and decide who exactly are they trying to please - b 4 themselves or someone else? b1 Another issue exists regarding the results of cosmetic surgery. One patient described b 4 different levels of reality regarding the final b outcome. There is the standard of perfection presented in the magazines, the level of beauty b before the air brushing on the photographs, and: )4 the beauty that will result or be retrieved through 4 surgery. b It seems that the reality that should be b considered is the one that exists within every woman. Moreover, every effort should be made ) enabling women to maintain positive self-images b without the use of a surgeon’s knife. Acceptance of one’s appearance, regardless ) of its imperfections is the first step in changing ) society’s unhealthy view of aging and beauty. If women actively refuse to buy into the ) beauty myth as it is expressed in the cosmetic b surgery business, these views and beliefs can be improved. b As the CBC program stated, literature has 4 b declared that “The dead know they’re dead when they no longer see themselves in the mirror.” b

by Paul Done special to Imprint In November I99 I, a proposal was put forward to change the name of the Federation of Students Women’s Issues Board to “Gender Issues” Board.” While I initially supported this proposal, I’d like to briefly explain why I spoke against the proposal, and chose to vote against it. First and foremost, I support an eventual change of name and focus for the Women’s Issues

Board; long term change is best achieved through co-operative and inclusive processes. Women and men must work together in order to overcome the institutionalized sexism and patriarchy which exists throughout society.

There is, unfortunately, a tendency for the privileged to co-opt groups of oppressed individuals working toward change once they are admitted. No matter how valid and sincere their attempts to work constructively may be, the agenda becomes diluted and refocused as traditional hierarchies reassert themselves. In order to pre-empt and counteract this tendency, processes of education and empowerment must be pursued to the fullest possible extent amongst women, before the inclusion can begin. Impulses toward passivity and silence in the presence of men have to be unlearned. Solidarity of purpose -- if not of methods and specifics -- must be built. Strength to resist being divided and conquered must be built. The civil rights movement of the ’60s is as clear and precise an example,as can be drawn. Time and time again, the effectiveness of groups which admitted whites before the processes of education and agenda-setting were fulfilled was diluted. Blacks begin to distrust these groups as they were- coopted, and they lost their effectiveness and credibility. We must learn this lesson well. It should be everyone’s long-term goal to overcome sexist societal dysfunctions in a fashion

which includes men. If men - us -- wish to work on issues related to the struggle for women’s rights, we should be working amongst ourselves, increasing awareness and fehting negative socialization. When we finally near that “post-feminist” nirvana, we can re-evaluate, restructure, and integrate women’s and men’s groups. This can be achieved without the subjugation of either gender. The question we should be’ asking: “Is the time right?” Who should answer this? The women on the front-lines of the struggle. This time, having

Post-feminist nirvana?

asked that question, the answer was “no.” That answer must be respected. We will eventually have a “Gender Issues Board” on our campus, but that’s a step which will require forethought, education, and care.

by Karin Zvanitajs special to Imprint We live in a world today in which the free exchange of information and ideas is at our fingertips. Computers are such a big part of our everyday lives, allowing us to link up with networks across the globe. There are files on social issues, interior decorating, history, sports, French cuisine - almost anything that you want. Lately however some of the files have come under question and under attack. Pornographic images available through one of the news groups have been increasing in numbers, as well as raising many questions as to what is acceptable. Computer news groups are an open format which is shared with users on an international level. These news groups are organized into a hierarchy. Within these sub-groups exist many useful, educational, legitimate programs. At the same time however, one can access extrememly violent and graphic images through a “sex” hierarchy. I used to think that the availability of computer pornography was such an immense

problem, but now I see it as a small part of an increasingly bigger problem. Sexism and violence against women has been a part of society all throughout history. Today we are able to use advanced high-technology machines to perpetuate age old ideas. I am not referring to pornographic images in which there is consent but instead to the disgustingly graphic pictures of women being raped, held against their own will, beaten or even killed. These images do nothing but reinforce the ancient stereotype of man as a strong, dominant animal whose sexual appetite is fulfilled by beautiful, submissive, “willing” young women. For a society who puts so many restrictions on sex we are incredibly fascinated with it. Unfortunately I see our obsession with sex as quite unhealthy. If anyone disagees with that then please tell me why we cannot talk openly about good sex, why women’s breasts are so controversial, and why rape occurs. Healthy sexuality should be celebrated! Be it making love or fucking, the key to a healthy sexual encounter is communication and consent Where is the consent in raping a woman? Where is the communication while a woman is being beaten

black

and blue by her partner? There is none. These images harm both women and men. Only a few people profit while many suffer. It is frightening because it is so prevelent throughout society. Computer pornography is only one small part of the problem. It is simply one more medium in which to communicate something so negative and degrading. There are some essential elements missing in these images. I think it is about time that we demand these positive characteristics in our society. Sex can be as pure or as dirty as you want it to be and as long as there is consent and communication it remains healthy. I am part of a growing movement on campus who sees a problem that seems to be far out of control. In order for change to occur people need to get educated and speak out. We cannot be afraid to raise our voices. Unlike only a few people profitting from the distribution of negative images, many people will benefit from concern, education and action. If you are interested in helping with this anti-computer porn campaign please contact the Womyn’s Centre.

HAWKS GROUNDED, GRYPHS NEXT Monday night, they started off hot, torching the unfortunate Rich Pracey for four goals in the first 657 of the game. But with CIAU-leading scorer JohnSpoltoreandCXJAA WestMVP Mark McCreary on the other side of the ledger, the real story here was defence. The Warriors held the highscoring pair off the scoresheet on Sunday and allowed them only three points in Monday night’s tilt, a goal for McCreary and two assists for Spoltore. Warrior captain Darren Snyder spent most of Sunday’s game shadowing Spoltore, completely neutralizing him, while Greg Allen drew this tough assignment Monday night. Waterloo’s penalty-killing was masterful, often allowing only one ‘or two shots on net during entire two-minute Hawk power plays.

The Waterloo hockey Warriors may have won bragging rights in this fair city, but they have a much larger piece of real estate on their minds, namely a national title. To returnto the Nationals, the CIAU’s final-four championship tournament to be held in two weeks at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, they must jump their last hurdle, theGuelphGryphons, who happen to have home-ice advantage by virtue of their first-place regular-season finish.

Game one of the OUAA West title series went last night inGuelph, but results were not known at press time. The series switches to Columbia Icefield on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. and a third game, if neceswy, will be back in Guelph on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. The Warriors have the better of the season series between these two teams, tieing the Gryphs 5-5 at the Twin Rinks and beating them 6-3 at the Icefield. Waterloo qualified for this round with an unprecedented Hawk roast, torching Wilfrid Laurier 7-l on Sunday afternoon

and 10-4 on Monday night after losing game one 4-2. GuelDh toDDed the upstart Windsor Lancer& the other&m& final in two straight games, 5-4 in overtime and 4-1. After a typically low-scoring and closely matched game one, Waterloo used a smothering defence and a bombarding offence in games two and three to completely dominate the Hawks in every aspect of the game. Warrior goals came in flurries. Sunday afternoon, they buried the Hawks in the second period with three goals in under five minutes.

C/AL& await UWswimmers by Andrew Russell lmpfint spotis.

The Waterloo varsity swim team is sending four athletes to the CJAU finals which start tomorrow (Saturday, March 6) at the University of Toronto. On the weekend of February 20, the swimming Warriors met 15 Ontario teams for the OUAA championships at the University of Ottawa. After 33 years of domination, the University of Toronto came second to the McMaster Marauders and UW was in the middle of the pack finishing sixth. Setting a new UW record and improving six UW all-time top-10 lists along the way, our Warriors found themselves with 162 points, of which veterans Ian Hunt, Jason Krupp, Andrew Cartwright, and rookie Terry Boyko scored 108. Hunt and Krupp will be joined’ this weekend by Athenas Slater and Jarvis

for the CIAU

championships

at the University of Toronto. On Saturday, Krupp twice confirmed his place on the 200 free UW all-time list, finishing seventh for 12 points. Cartwright also swam two

season bests, plac$g 12th. Rookie Terry Boyko’s 2:13.61 effort won the 200 backstroke consolation finals, for nine points, making him the seventh .fastest 200 baskstroker in UW history. In the 100 butterfly, Ian Hunt twice improved his second-place UW all-time ranking, and qualified to compete at CIAU championships in March. His nail-biting performance in finals found him just one one-hundredth of a second out of first place, finishing with a time of 56.71 seconds. Krupp finished 10th in 58.99. Only moments after his spectacular 100 fly final, Hunt swam to 12th place in the 200 individual medleg,withChrisDaughneyright behind for 13th. Hunt’s morning swim of 2A3.35 places him second on UW’s all-time listings. Boyko,Cartwright, Krupp and Hunt combined to bring home the Waterloo ‘A’ 4-by-200 free relay for seventh place, wnrth 24 paintsThe Waterloo ‘B team ofBrian Roughley, Andrew Wahbe, Scott Robinson, and Daughney scored 12 points in their 11th place finish. On Sunday, Roughley swam

four to a lifetime best of 4:20.92 for the 400 free, placing 15th. This was promptly followed by Hunt’s eighth place finish in the 100 back, in 1:01.07.

Krupp improved his UW record in the 200 fly, bringing it down to an incredible 2:08.24, which was good for fifth place, and a spot at CIAUs with Hunt. Cartwright also had an solid swim, finishing 1f&h.

Boyko swam a marvellous 400 TM, improving his season’s best by 15 seconds, placing 14th. The meet wrapped up with a sixth-place finish by the Waterloo ‘A’ 4-by-100 free relay team (Hunt, Daughney, Krupp, Boyko), and a 10th from the Waterloo ‘B’ team (Cartwright, Lashmar, Wahbe, Roughley). These swims combined for 36 points, propelling Waterloo over Carleton and Laurentian to finish 6th place overall. Spectacularperformanceswere also seenby

Brown,

Dwyer,

E-bang,

Kim, Kotecha,and McTavish, bringing the total seasonbest swims to 93 per cent, and the number of point scorers from an expected two to more than six.

Dean McDonald set the tone for the Warriors, scoring only 1:32 intogme two. JasonMervyn scored the first of his two markers in the last minute of the period and Waterloo never looked back. Waterloo showed their typically diverse offence, getting their other four goals from four different players: Jamie Hartnett, Chris Kraemer, Cory Keenan, and John Williams. On Monday night, hundreds of fans in line outside Waterloo Arena heard the mounting carnage relayed out to them: “l-0, 2-0, no, now it’s 4-O!” Down 8-2 ‘in the third period, the Hawks showed some spunk when they scored two goals during a double-minor power play. With the game out of reach, Laurier lost their composure, giving Waterloo a chance to pot two more.

The Waterloo varsity indoor track and field team is sending 14 members, to the CIAU championships at SkyDome in Toronto next week, UW’s largest national contingent ever. Last weekend at the OUAA and OWIAA finals, Waterloo’s men totalled another 13 personal bests and finished a remarkable fifth overall in the OUAA with 44 points. The women ran 12 PBS- and finished ninth overall in the OWIAA with nine points. This total of 25 PBS brings the -team’s total to 14-O for the season so far and has head coach Brent McFarlane beaming with pride and congratulations for the entire team. The 140 PBS shows that UW’s program is competitive at the provincial level. This success can be attributed to hard work, team spirit, and improvement in training. The men’s team’s fifth-place finish is up three places since the 1991 season and the team was only beaten by schools with an indo& facility and a full-time coaching staff. Queen’s, whichalso has a fulltime coaching staff, placed behind Waterloo.

It was a tense moment for evein Alumni Hall when Waterloo pulled to within two points with 22 seconds left on the clock, But Waterloo sent the ‘Stangs to the charity stripe three times in the last 20 seconds, giving Western a five-point victory. A disappointing end to a disappointing season. High scorer for Waterloo was Urosevic with 14 points. VanKoughnett and Mark Hopkins followed with 13 points each, Hopkins ripping down seven boards. Tom Balfe and York scored in the double digits with 12 and 11 points respectively, Balfe matching Hopkins’ seven rebounds. ChrisMooreaddedeightpoints to the team total, with Dave Lynch

V-ball Athenas disappointed by hunk Imprint

Yeowomen and they lost the match in three games straight by scores of 15-9,157, and 15-6. .York ended up winnina the tournament for the*fourth st&ght time and thus will represent the OWIAA at the national championship next weekend. This was only the beginning of the disappointment for the Athenas as their next two matches also saw them play below their ability. The first game pitted them against Western who were looking to avenge the season-ending loss doled on them by the Athenas, which caused the Mustangs to finish second in the league. Western did exact some revenge taking the match in four games by scores of 1512,12-15,15-12; and 15-6,

The Athena vollevball team can be happy to have e&n made it to the playoffs this season. Unfortunately, the OWIAA championship tournament was not kind to our team as they finished eighth. Thus ends an up-and-down season for Waterloo which saw them squeak into the final playoff position in the OWIAA West. The first team Waterloo played in the championship tournament was the very strong York team who managed to win all ten of their matches, only dropping one game during the entire season, Thus, the Athenas had little which could match up to the

Waterloo then went into the seventh-place game to try save some face. But this time, west division rivals the Brock Badgers handed Waterloo defeat by scores of 15-2,1617,512, and 16-14. Thus Waterloo can say they were the eighth best team in Ontario this season. Onits way to winning the tournament, the York squad never lost a game and put two players, Kendra Irwin and Vicki Gallagher, on the all-star team with Susan Craig picking up the Tournament MVI? Ottawa, Toronto and Carleton rounded out the rest of the top four. You may notice that all of these team come from the obviously stronger eastern division of the OWIAA. Placing fifth to seventh

MacKenzie, followed by Jonathan Cressman who bounded his way around the track with the amazing spring and craziness he possesses. Then Kregg Fordyce took the baton and set off to run himself a substantial personal best (PB) of over three seconds. The race of the night and in fact of the meet had to go to determined anchor Jason Cregoire. This 3000-m specialist dropped down to fill this anchor position and in the process ran a huge PB of nearly four seconds, running a split of 1:X5+ This allowed the team to obtain an overall PB of nearly 12 seconds, with each individual PBing. Their time placed them fifth overall and only one second out of a bronze medal fish. But more importantly, their time was fast enough to qualify them for the CIAUs, where they will join the other two relay teams and four individuals who previously qualified. These relay results demonstrate the team effort that all the Warriors and Athenas put forth every time they step on the track, because not only is it the relay team members, but the remainder of the team that

the men’s and women’s 4-by-200metre relay teams ran their bes t races of the season. The men’s team started off the meet running in a race with three of the four fastest teams in the nation. Veteran speedster Simon Foote led the team off, followed by rookie Chris Bastie and veteran Brent Forrest; anchoring was the everdependable rookie Trevor Francis. The team ran faster than the CIAU-qualifying time by seven tenths of a second, giving the team an excellent fourth-place finish in Ontario. The team plans to give the top six in Canada a run for their money at the Skydome next Tuesday. The women’s team also ran an amazing race with all member’s running great splits and as a result, surprised more than a few teams. The team, as always, was led off by the irreplaceable veteran Jane Taite, followed by soccer pro Tiffany Kanitz, hurdler Alicia Steele, and anchored by the Athena’s own decathlete April Harper. The CIAU standard run gave the team an outstanding sixth place finish overall and the accompanying trip to the Skydome.

spreads out around the track to cheer us on and push us to ,our limits that enables us to obtain the fast times that we do. Aside from the tremendous relay results, many individuals also put forth outstanding performances. The first such performance was by Gregoire who went into the3000m on a mission, and did not get disappointed. He ran a remarkable race and beat the field easily by five seconds, running a PB of 8:30.17. This first place finish gave him an automatic berth in the CIAUs next week and also gave him the title of “the man to beat” over this distance in the nation. Cressman also ran this event running a time of 9:08.74. In other events, Bastie ran a greatPBof7,14inthe60-mtoqualify for the finals where he finished a very respectable sixth. Also in the 60-m, Foote ran a 7.20, but failed to qualify for the finals and Milind Ghanekar ran a PB of 7.54. On the women’s side, Kanitz ran 8.04, Taite 8.16, and Steele a PB of 8.19. In the 60-m hurdles, Forrest ran a time of 8.81 to finish in fifth spotwhileShawnSchultzrana9.33. Inthewomen’srace,TaiteandSteele ran 9.34 and 9.36 respectively to finish in ninth and tenth place. In the 300-m, Foote ran a PB of 35.9 to finish in seventh place, Francis ran a 36.9 and Bastie finished in 37.4. The women were paced by Val Lingard 45.7 and Kanitz 42.6 which were both PBS. In the 600-m, MacKenzie and Fordyce finished back in the pack, but were setting themselves up for their spectacular 800m runs. In the 1000-m, Tori Seay ran a personal best of 3:08, finishing in eighth place. In the 1500-m, Cressman finished in fifth place with a time of 3:59.83. On the women’s

side, Sarah Brown and Judith LeRoy ran4:59.26 and 5:03.33 with Brown’s time being a PB. In the final relay event, the 4by-400-m, the men’s team finished in fifth place narrowly missing the CIAU standard again by seventenths of a second, while the women’s team finished seventh in a time of 4:11.52. In the field events, pole vaulter Jeff Miller jumped 4.35-m to capture fifth, high jumper Karl Zabjek still recovering from an ankle injury jumped 1.97 and finished eighth, long jumpers Paul Walker and Winston Eng jumped 6.12-m and 6.18-m respectively with Walker’s being a PB. In the triple jump, Eng jumped 13.4Om to finish in 8th and shot putter Gord Fawcett threw 11.23m for a PB, McFarlane said that all varsity sports can benefit from our speed and strength programs and hopes that next year we will get more recruits and indoor track and field facility. Unfortunately, the university student body failed to look to the future when they designed the new athletic facility, and the lack of a track will hamper the ability of our track program to beat those teams that have such a facility.

We have a world-calibre head coach in Brent McFarlane, but without a track facility, bringing national-calibre athletes to Waterloo is an impossible task. Overall, the team showed incredible improvement this year and would like to thank a number of people. Firstly, our coaches, Brent McFarlane, John Swarbrickand Tim Mussar for all their hard work and patience with us. Secondly, our manager/trainers Rod and Sbawn for taking care of our many injuries and giving the endless massages that kept our boclies in the best of shape. Also, UW’s head therapist Loretta along with her posse of therapists that also played roles in maintainingourbodies. Thirdly, our bus driver extraordinaire, Eric who was always there to drive us to the meets and to the store for food and even chant “Go Waterloo” as we ran around the track. Lastly, we would like to individuallythankeachandeverymember of the Waterloo track and field team for their hard work and support for each other over this entire long season which started in September and is almost over. And to the CIAU qualifiers, good luck at the Skydome. IT’S TIME!!

stuff

I suppose being on a major label can have its drawbacks. They might never have made any money, but I bet Galaxie 500 never found themselves touring as support act to a lame group like the Sundays. But former Galaxie frontman Dean Wareham is doing just that with his new group Luna; the double bill rolled into Toronto this past Tuesday. So for the second time in six months, Luna found themselves playing in front of a huge Toronto crowd that was there to see someone else (last time it was the Screaming Trees). Atid for the second time, the Luna set was straitjacketed by their status as opening band. They were quite wonderful (again) but the too-brief set (ten songs, 45 minutes) only made me yearn to see what they could do with their owlt show, a show in which they wouldn’t have to scamper off the stage early to make room for the Sundays. The performance left almost nothing to be desired. Visually, tuna are pretty und ynamic onstage, but Wareham’s guitar solos were as amazing as ever, and the rest of the band proved themselves quite capable of rocking like, urn, pigs. The only quibble I have is with Stanley Demeski’s drumming. His ultracontrolled approach was well suited tohioldbandtheFeelies,butseems

Scheduled to begin their set at 11:15, the Sundays took to the stage after a short delay to greet a jam packed house @ph”HELLO”Edi+ Prickley here -it’s time for a larger venue-excess sweat, sticky flesh, smoke, heat, etc.) and an aura of anxiousness (anxionuity if you will). The relocation of bodies was a problem at this point, as the floor in front of the stage became impossible to access (unless you were fortunate enough to have a high-tech futuristic Star Wars/Trek contraption on hand for the uses of teleportation.) Playing various numbers from their latest album, Blind, the England based foursome opened in the midst of a murky back light of green hues. Songs from their first 1989 album, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, followed as the dynamics between the live-in couple, guitarist David Gavurin and lead vocalist Harriet Wheeler, further consecrated the band’s live performance enhanced with the backing foundation of bassist Paul Brindly and drummer Patrick Hannan. The 1989 debut “Can’t & Sure” and their big hit “Here’s Where The Story Ends” were among the most enthusiastically received. Aside from the over priced $3.75

Frank Zappa Spectacular Lincoln Center, New York February 27,1993 by Paul special

O’Hura to Imprint

O.K. people, listen up. The future of music depends on us. Yes, that’s right, MUSIC. Not the manure that we are continually bombarded with via money-mongering media moguls that perpetuate the myth that music is something to be experienced only after proper grooming. This is something that I have learned to notice through the music of Frank Zappa. A man best characterized by Guitar Player Magazine editor Don Menn as ‘* [a] card-carrying Renaissance man, regarded as one of modem history’s most non-established iconoclasts.. . sardonic rock star, guitar virtuoso, scathing satirist, Synclavier proponet, pioneer of film and video, champion of the

democractic process, voter registrar, author and essayist, anti-drug advocate, hackle-raising lyricist, Financial News Network business commentator, advisor in the West’s reapproachment with the Eastern bloc, potential presidential candidate, and thorn in the backside of the politicians he feels are out to the Bill of Rights.” erase Pheewwwww! I couldn’t have said it any better.

Last Saturday’s Lincoln Center performance was a sonic delight. The marquee read as follows: A Frank Zappa Spectacular! The Music of Frank Zappa. Orchestra of Forty with Guest Artists! Guest artists being former FZ sidemen Scott Thunes(bass) and Mike Keneally(guitar), plus Swedish musicians Morgan Agren(drums) and Mats Oberg(keyboards and soloist). The program opened with a semi-orchestral performance of FZ’s

Futiley Digging Deep Skydiggers Commercial Tavern, Maryhill Saturday, Feb. 27,1993 by Kenton Augermun Imprint stuff

Although the Skydiggers’ concert at the Commercial Tavern in beati tiftil ddwtit;own Ma’rgkif II Saturday night was good, it was no match for some of the Toronto-based quintet’s previous shows. Absent from the 90-minute performance was the fun that usually prevails’ and makes most evenings with the band memorable. The reason for this may have been the seriousness of the occasion. The concert was a benefit for Men Walking Against Male Violence, an *organization that encourages men to take responsibility for violence against women and children. (The Skydiggers became involved with the organization last year and have taken part in benefits prior to this one.) Road-weariness may have also contributed, as the band has been touring in support of its second release, Restless, for eight months. (According to guitarist Josh Finlayson, the band will only play one more live date -- next month in Toronto --before taking time off to work on new material.) One way to gauge the concert was to watch bassist ROMY Von Johnny, because his actions paralleled the show itself. Sometimes he was inspired, other times he was placid. Even frontman Andy Maize, who admitted to being “a little confused tonight,,’ seemed more tame than usual, despite his between song banter about Brian Mulroney, Kelly Gruber, Danny Gallavan, Harold Ballard and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Still, the performance had its good points, many of which can almost be taken for granted because they’re always employed by the Skydiggers. Peter Cash’s voice is excellent, and he sang well on “At 24,” “Swamp Boogie” and the unreleased “If I Live to 110.” The beautiful harmonies between Cash and Maize are even finer when

Finlayson joins in, like he did on ‘*Mystery Train.” Finlayson’s deft guitar playing was evident on both the opening number, “Slow Burning Fire,” and the closer, “A Penny More,” as well as on “Swamp Boogie” and “If I Live to 110.” His solos appeared natural, not M+ke&ose of Gary Robertson in opening act %,ott B Sympathy, who - in a fashion eerily reminiscent of fie’Northem.fikes’ Bryan Pot+ - seemed to perform an inordinate number of them. Cash, too, turned in some blistering guitar-work (his of the acoustic variety), on the first song of the encore, “Feel Like Making Love.” Maize’s soft trumpet put the finishing touch on “She’d Calm Down,” a song he described as the “first lonely waltz of the evening.” New drummer Joel Anderson (ex-Leslie Spit Treeo) meshed well with the others, providing background, vocals and ending “Just Before the Rain,” “Too Bad you Say it’s Over,’ and ‘*A penny More” with a flourish. Finlayson said the band considers Anderson more than just a “hired gun,” making him a good bet to fill the void left by the departure of original member Wayne Stokes. Incontrast to Anderson’s flourish was the mellowness of Scott B Sympathy’sDaveO’Sullivan,whose black T-shirt nearly made his torso invisible against the black-curtained backdrop. He was a go& drummer, however, possessing a mighty pair of forearms to boot. Scott B Sympathy was fronted by mastermind Scott Bradshaw, who wore a Wayne‘s World cap backwards and darted around the tiny stage as well as its limited space would, permit. He was accompanied on vocals by bassist Ron Bock. The songs that came across best during their 40-minute set were “My Sympathy” from Neil Yonge Street and the title track from the latest release, Drinking with &e Poet. TWO good bands, an intimate venue and a worthy cause should have provided the form u 1a for a memorable evening. Unfortunately, the fun factor just wasn’t there.

in P %Minor “Black Page #2”(arranged by percussionists Jonathan Haas and Ian Finked), followed by Edgard Var&e’s spatial sonic masterpiece “D&erts”. A man characterized by Zappa as “the idol of my youth.” Rounding out the first part of the show were world premiere performances of “Nite School”{ originally a Synclavier piece from the 1986 release Jazz from Hell), and a piano solo version of “Ruth is Sleeping”. The latter piece being especially interesting as it was performed by piano virtuoso Mr. Oberg. A tiny man of only twentythree years, Mr. Oberg has been blind since birth and has been gifted with perfect pitch and an infallible sense of meter. He was a bonafide highlight of the event.

After a brief intermission, the orchestra returned with flawless performances from FZ’s 1984 release The Perfect Stranger. Under the baton of conductor Joel Thome, the orchestra championed such dreadfully complicated scores as “Naval Aviation in Art”, “Outside Now, Again”, “Dupree’s Paradise”, and the title track. Doubling many of the linear melodic lines normally left to Synclavier, Mike Keneally blended effortlessly with the wholesome orchestral sound. Closing out the program, all musicians cotntributed in playing the world premiere rendition of “Inca Roads”(from the 1974 release One Size Fits All). A great cadence to a generous and p;enuine oerformance, &en in the abvsence oi FZ himself.’

After encore apologies were given and recieved, we all filed out into the sounds of the city, and for me, the melancholy of my mind. Music is, and always will be one of the truly amazing wonders that those of us creatures with ears may experience. As you might understand; neither pretentiousness, nor sharp judgement play any part in its construction. This is something I am convinced Mr. Zappa understands thorou hly. With unshakable beliefs an ii a staggering musical output@5 titles by the end of this ear), FZ has a message to be learned i y all, since we are all musicians and composers in our own right.

Her education was completely removed from reality.” The essays aren’t concerned solely with invalidating the assessments of Woolf

and other prominent writers, but instead are attempting to demonstrate their narrow foci. Removing the blinders, if you will. Some of my feminist friends roll their eyes when I mention Paglia’s name. Have they read the book? No. Perhaps there is some validity to her assertion that mainstream feminists have a case of tunnel vision.

Fastforward, opening tomorrow night and running until Sunday, at the Humanities theatre, is the result of months of hard work, sweat, tears, and alas, heartbreak. A collection of pieces combining the influential and diverse styles of ballet, modern folk and jazz, we can look forward to a couple of hours of genuine entertainment that explores the many

facets of dance, theatrical and interpretive, alike. To say that there really is something for everyone would not be an understatement. A perusal of the program finds an astounding array of music, spanning the centuries, from the operatic Monteverdi to obnoxious Red Hot chili Peppers. Costumes teeter from tutus to toques. There is sensitivity, there is comedy. There is irony, there is parody. There is even Pink Floyd for the Y-95ers. In Fast Forward, the role of choreography is shared between students and faculty, alike. The mixture of talent, experience and expertise, finds the likes of Andrew Cash’s very own skter, Susan, at the helm, directing a cast and crew of very talented people. Fast Forward smiles me down, leaving me in a trail of tears. Of course, Bob Norman doesn’t agree, but thenagain, Doritos is prob ably his favourite snack.

It doesn’t happen very often that I hear an album, and I really want to review it. Most of the time I have to chain myself to the keyboard, and type until I’ve got a reasonable review. UltraVividScene is different. Their latest waxing, Rev, is one of those albums which I,.in the space of the next few paragraphs, am going to try and convince everybody who is anybody that their life without it is not as complete as it could be. So, where do I start? How about labeling those peaple as specifically the kind who will like it. Labels are a quick and handy way of coding and organizing free-willed creatures such as human beings (no really, it’s the album’s influence. I have no mind of my own) Okay. Peabo Bryson/ Celine Dion fans, step down. We don’t want you. Nor do we want fans of Boyz to Men, Julio Iglesias, Triumph, Wayne Newton, Slim Whitman, Helix, Montivani, Boston, Willie Nelson, Anne Murray and April Wine. You’re all freaks. Fans of the top ten, except for when the odd Neil Young song gets there, are also not included in my label of those who are chosen to like the new UltraVividScene album. As a matter of fact, to me, you are persona non grata. You don’t exist. Now for the meat and gravy. Fans of the Pixies, and the Screaming Blue Messiahs, and Lush, and Led Zeppelin, and the Violent

The latest offering from The The is entitled Dusk, and is a good album, unfortunately, from a man

With this exoerience I can safely go o&he record as stating that the album isn’t as deep and reflective as Mindbomb or as catchy as Soul Mining. As with all of his other albums, Johnson is mostly concerned with love and religion. On the band’s

Femmes, and the Beatles, and Ride, and the Velvet Underground, and Sloan, and Sugar, and Suede-stand up. The album Rev, shall provide you your place in the sun. Why would such a disparate group of people like an album like Rev? Because it is that-disparate. It runs a gamut of moods, and themes. The first song, “Candida”, is deceptively simple, sounding for all the world like the Violent Femmes, minus Gordon Gano’s femmish vocals. What UltraVividScene takes from the Violent Femmes is that ability to create a richly textured, smooth song, with only three instruments, guitar, bass, and drums. UltraVividScene takes only the best. They have no phony, put-on accents like Suede. From them, they take beautiful melodies. From Ride, they take the textures, the layers which ensure a smooth listening experience. From the Beatles, apart from the debt which all modem music owes them, they take the innovation, the Revolver-ish diversity of instruments, and sounds. From the Pixies they take some of Black Francis’s Syd Barretty-on-abad-trip lyrics, such as on “This is the Way” ‘I... to shudder black and shiver blue don’t you feel the dream turn real don’t you know that blood will sing its ancient song.” Don’tgetmewrong, these guys aren’t a bunch of garage-rockers from What Wave singing about blood because it’s spooky. UltraVividScene sing about everything, about all of life, and the album is almqst like a trip from birth q#q*41he alby!! s&p py! Sp!y~ ply, like l&tin, but grows rapidly, with rising optimism. Suddenly though, it gets strange and spooky, like adulthood. Almost like Her&ix’s “Manic Depression”. The mus,ic gets more alienated, more depressed, and then suddenly, it gets beautiful, almost like a blinding white light... then it’s over. previous releaseMindbomb, religion dominated the songs, this time Johnsonsteers more toward the love aspect, However, something about the songs just doesn’t do it for me, the lyrics on his other albums had that certain edge, that certain insight, that certain feeling which made you believe that Johnson had somehow looked into your mind before writing the songs. On this release, the lyrics just didn’t connect with me. Johnson is again joined by a regular band, again with ex-Smith

guitarist Johnny Marr who it must be said hasn’t been as prolific as his better half. The band plays on most of the songs except for the first track where Johnson is alone with an acoustic guitar. However, in my opinion the band is pretty second-

The most apt indication of where Syd Barrett now stands is the new S/z& On Pink Floyd box set. Except for an early Barrett single, the compilation all but excludes Barret’s contribution to the band namely their first (and best) album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. One y@+p~~ 3t-g that this new best

annoying are the selections from Barrett’s first and best album, The Madcap Lqhs. Instead sf providing a sample of his masterful cadence ability as evidenced on tracks such as “Love You” or “If It’s in You”, or wonderful happy-day songs such as “Effe~escing Elephant” from Barrett,all that is served up is primarily middle of theroadandextremelyboringsongs like “Swan Lee” and “Late Night”. They even have the audacity to inelude a demo version of the tit3e track “Octopus” yet leave off brilliant tracks like “Dark Globe”. The recent slew of tribute albums (to Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, the Velvet Underground etc.) was preceded by Beyond the Wildwood, Barrett’s own tribute album. With bands like R.E.M. doing

covers, the Television Personalities singing his praises and The Mock Turtles starting their careers covering his songs one would imagine that an artist such as Barrett who has received such universal praise yet remains relatively unknown would be more fairly represented, but unfortunately this is not the case. I love Syd Barrett. No, really, more than I love Julian Cope, there is absolutely nothing that I have ever heard that matches Syd Barrett for simply brilliant pop music, and to have a first greatest hits album misrepresent his musical talent so callously is an insult to both Barrett and those fans who have heard his blatantly crazy lyrics and wonky music and understood that this is what music is all about.

Hitchcock-by-numbers, tired and predictable. Furthermore, Hitchcock’s continued mutterings about death (see “Then You’re Dust” and “When I Was Dead”) have become nigh unto insufferable. Fortunately, most of Respect is much better than the single would lead vou to believe. The two or>eners “‘?he Yip Song” (as raucius a ,Hitchcock performance as we’ve heard in years) and “Arm of love” (a lovely ballad that R.E.M. covered on a single last fall) are among the Hitchcock’s best songs ever. Same goes for “Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom,” which positively reeks Dylan: acoustic guitar, harmonica, honky-tank piano, swelling organ solo, mock-spiritual iyrics. Another point in Respect *s favour is that it finds Hitchcock in a

of album would more than illustrate Barrett’s unique contribution to the psychedelic origins of one of the world’s most popular bands. Alas, this is not the case. At a feeble attempt to provide listeners with an overview of Barrett’s oeuvre, most of his best work has been overlooked. Most ary as Johnson writes all the words aid rnt& and helped produce the albarn, so it might as well be studio musicians behind him for all I care. The first single “Dogs of Lust” is certainly the best song on the albumandranksup therewithsome of The The’s best. The driving harmonica supplied by Marr drives the song, now if the lyrics were just a bit b%tter and it was longer (this of course leads the door open for remixes of which I have already seen two). Nothing else on the disk really stands out apart from lyrics like “And we look to the stars, And we reach out and pray to a deaf, dqbandblindGodwho never explain$’ and “why can’t love touch my heart like fear does?“. One has to listen to the overall makeup of the album rather than individual songs which by themselves don’t stand up well on their own, but as part of the whole you can begin: to see the tapestry which Johnson is trying to paint with Dusk. So overall, thisalbum is a lot better than most of the crap out in the world today, but up against the fine materlal The The has released in the pavt it comes down in the middle. Fans of The The should pick up Dusk, and anybody who hasn’t heard of them should start out with Soul Mining for an introductidn.

With a back catalogue of more than ten albums, Robyn Hitchcock is beginning to seem like a man out of time. He values tecl-@zal proficiency and studio polish when unschooled amateurism is all the rage; he is aloof and intellectual when the times call for big hearts and naivety . Even his sound- jangly guitar and propulsive bass-- seems anachronistic. The fact thatHitchcmk keeps making pretty much the same album doesn’t help this perception. However, that’s litigated by the realization that it continues to be a surprisingly good album. On first listen, I was ready to slam &spec# (Hitchcock’s new record) for being the same old thing. But after repeated listenings, I had to admit that, same old Hitchcock or not, it still ranks with some of his best work. Bad news

_Ready for an Operi Casket by Sandy Atwal imprint staff

It’s not every day that a young writer gets a chance to interview one of music’s hottest bands, a band that makes you care about what you’re doing, care about music again and feel like you’re making a change. Now, I might be laughed at for liking The Pursuit of Happiness, but I feel that they are one of the few Canadian bands who could really compete on the international market. Their new album “The Downward Road”, released on the 22nd, and their concert last night, both confirm their place as one of Canada’s premier bands. I had a chance to interview the drummer and discussed some of the challenges and changes that The Pursuit of Happiness (TPOH) have had to come to terms with. So what are some of the topics of the songs on the new album? What does Moe write about these days? A lot about relationships still. Is he in a relationship right now? Oh yeah, he’s been in one for a while. Is it successful?Uh, yeah. They live together so I’d say yeah, but the songs are definitely not about their relationship+ Oh really, well how come he doesn’t write about his own relationship - is something wrong? I’m sure there’s elements of it, he’s a writer, he’s an observer. Do you think he writes about your relationships? Oh, I’m sure he does. D,o you think he’s a good songwriter? I think he’s a great songwriter. Do You like Bryan Adams? Do you think he’s a good songwriter?

Not...well...J’ve got nothing against him, and there’s songs that he does that I like, but I don’t own any records. We’ve played a show together with him. I got nothing against him, but I don’t own any records.. . Well, you know it’s possible it’s possible, that people would throw you together in the same pile, you know Pursuit of Happiness and Bryan Adams, in that same Can-rockkindof thing. What would your response to that be?

How would you say’ that you’re different? Well, that’s a good one. Uh, we don’t write about cars. I don’t think we have a car song. But he writes about relationships too, you know “Everything I do, I do it for You.” But I think we deal with it really different. 1 think the way Moe talks about relationships, he’s a little more honest. He strips it down and there’s nothing hidden. You know other bands they write these cliched love songs. That’s something that the Pursuit of Happiness tries to veer away from? Yeah, I think so. Moe takes great care to make sure his lyrics aren’t stupid. I’d say we’re nowhere near

a Bryan Adams type band. Well I don’t think so. I just thought I’d throw that in there, Oh,good!Ha,ha!Youhadmescared there for a minute! You know, I’m not in a band or anything, but I always thought that if I was, and I wasn’t the lead singer, welLdo you ever get jealous of Moe? , I used to, at first, but then I thought “Well, why, what do I care?” I’ve known him so long. You know sometimes it gets to be a pain, he can’t go out sometimes. People stop him constantly, and me I can do anything I want. You know, the other week it was my birthday and I went out with my girlfriend, and the waiter knew who I was, and he started talking to me. It does throw me off when it happens. But I guess Moe could handle that better. He could probably handle it, but he‘s a shy guy. He likes it and he doesn’t like it. So, what’s the future of The Pursuit of Happiness? What sort of direction would you like to see the band go into? I’d like the record to do well enough tomakeanother record, you know pay my rent that kind of stuff. We’re not looking for that 5 million selling record, you know, because then your career’s over. I like the full plan. I want the twenty year career, not the five year career. But then, there’s a lot of bands that have been around for twenty years who should have quit fifteen years ago. We’ll definitely call it quits when it’s time. Well; when do you think it’d be time to quit? I guess when we start making real bad records. Yeah? How would you know when you started making shitty records? IwouldhopethatIwouldknow

in my heart that we’re not doing good. That time hasn’t come yet, so it’s hard to say. I would hope that I would know not to make a fool of myself. If I’m four hundred pounds, bald and playing the “hits”... I’ll hope that I would have enough sense to buy a gun and shoot my-

self! Yeah1 Here’s hoping! Ha ha, yeah! Or at least afford a garage, where I could turn on the gas and leave it a little less messy so 1 could have an open casket! Let’s hope we don’t have to do that! Yeah, at least not for another fifteen years!

Kid’s Stuff MacDonald Exhibition by Kut

Misfit Lit Stewart Art Centre, Gldph closed on February 28th Piro imprint

Comics. Remember those things you bought at the grocery store when you were a kid? Remember Mickey Mouse and Batman? Meanwhile, your parents were worrying themselves sick, believing that they were raising a good-for-nothing cultural reject. Sometimes you wonder if they were right as you sneak a look at the comics section of thd K-W Record. But, once you turn to such illustrations as those of Lefcourt and Matt Greening, you know they were wrong. Comics can be intelligent and even have a purpose. Why else would Art Spiegelman’s Maus, the story of a Holocaust survivor in comic-strip form, be used as a course book for history?! Theremustbemoretocomicsthan Garfield (and heck, even Garfield can be entertaining if you’re in that sort of mood). Sunday was the closing day of “Misfit Lit“, a show of contemporary comic art at Guelph’s MacDonald Stewart Art Centre. This was not the first time that comics have been shown in a gallery. Usually, they are presented under such misleading headings as pop art or commercial illustration. Often they are brushed aside as kids stuff and not taken seriously altogether. But if three stripes of paint can be sold for millions, then why deny comics their rightful place in museums...

At this show, which had travelled to Guelph from Seattle, Washington, there were no Garfields, or other commercially successful pieces. Most of what was exhibited was of an underground and alternative nature, ranging from Care1 Moiseiwitsch’s large-scale piece “Siren“, which covered the three walls of the main room, to original prints of such artists as Charles Burns, Robert Crumb, Mary Fleener, Aline Kominsky, Ralph Steadman and even art spiegelman, himself. Admittedly, most of the names didn’t mean much to me, but still, this gallery experience was very different from any other I have. Instead of standing back, and waiting for the painting/print/sculpture to aquire a meaning and communicate that meaning whichofteninvolveseyestrain and a blank gaze and mind, these pieces required thorough perusal, involving pressing your nose against the cheap plastic that covered these valuable originals. (Literacy also added to my enjoyment). Most works were blackand-white pen-and-ink sketches, but there were some nifty multicoloured prints, and even acrylic and watercolour paintings. Comic art can be extremely diverse, “Misfit Lit” definitely disputed the fluffy kid-stuff image of comics. Most works wouldn’t even have been considered suitable for anyone under the age of, say fifteen. The reactions of the present university type-crowd were ample proof of this, ranging from laughs and grunts to squeals and sighs. Comics may not all beaimed at children, but they do manage to bring out the kid in you.

The trouble with LoveGeld, an interracial romance and road picture, is that it inadvertently j_ustifies Spike Lee’s point-of-view in Jungle Fmer. White woman Lurene Hallett (Michelle Pfeiffer) causes black man Paul Kater (Dennis Haysbert) enormous suffering, yet with only the best intentions. Misjudging 1 character and misunderstanding situations, Lurene trails catastrophe in her wake. Since it’s the American South in 1963, Paul bears the brunt of her screw-ups and the full weight of redneck vigilantes and police authority. This is hardly an equal relationship. We’re I meant to believe that Paul doesn’t really mean the hurtful things he though says, some of themhis daughter should be “free to grow up as bored, or as stupid, or as uselessasanywhite woman”, for instance--ring truer than the rest of the movie. We’re meant to take Love FieId straight, but I seem tobemuch substance behindLureneand Paul’s mutual attraction. Di- That’s not a wig. rector Jonathan Kaplan’s choice to convey the height of sexual tension between the pair is utterly hackneyed; Paul bares his rippling upper torso so Lurene can nurse wounds he incurred from an ambush. This is a very disquieting scene, above and beyond what Kaplan may have intended: there’s Paul, sleek and resplendent with animal magnetism, crouching and sweating in a corner so he won’t get lynched. Visually, this is just too loaded to be comfortabIe-you can’t get away from the association with slavery. Isn’t it possible that this sort of depiction of blacks, even when historically accurate, can be as symbolically damaging as media’s sexual objectification of women? Screenwriter Don Roos’ plot stigmatizes Paul as a fugitive, as a victim. Even though Kaplan almost certainly wants to combat racism with this film, he ends up reducing his hero, and strengthening Lee’s argument that white women only date black men out of “jungle fever”. Granted, Paul is a gentle, stalwart gentleman. At the beginning

of the movie, we are led to expect a fully realized character. Haysbert does his best, and manages to be intelligent and expressive. Paul initially keeps Lurene at a distance (he senses danger) through subtle digs, When Lurene thinks she is rescuing his 5-year old daughter by taking im, Haysbert hisses at her with wonderful intensity. In moments of emotional pain, he

movie, JFK is assassinated, and Lurene’s fantasy world crashes into an incomprehensible reality. She sneaks out on her husband to attend the funeral, and it is on the overnight bus that she meets Paul and his quiet, watchful young child, played without self-consciousness by newcomer StephanieMcFadden. As a result, Lurene’s mission is sudJ--‘-- -11---J and over the course of the movi e, sne ’ comes to di: scover I--,.*r- _A” ner resourcefulness and brav=Y* We all know that the camera loves Pfeiffer, but it’s more than just aesthetics+ Pfeiffer is a refreshingly physical and changeable actress; as Lurene, she smiles differently than she has done in other roles, and her voice is weaker, more annoyingly girlish. IIer movementsaresmalland feminine, an essential characteristic of a chatty, flighty, platinum blonde woman who prides herself on h&r delicate set of bright pink luggage. For a long time, Pfeiffer’s performance is iniriguing, (as Jodie Foster’s was in another Kaplan film, 7’heAwused) and the slow pace of KapIan’s direction alliws intangibles to blossom. Some unanminor, no*ced moments are sweetly hilarious. * Damnably, the ideas at the hub of Lope Ftild never expand. Lurene’s daidreams never become excessive or troublesome. Her insensitive, violent spouse (Brain Kerwin) stays at a cardboard level. He does everything wrong--including forgetting where he and Lurene spent their honeymoon--and so is clearly no competition as a love interest. Kaplan’s conception may very well contract as the movie proceeds--he stoops to puIIi.ng at our heartstrings with shots of the 5-year old being spirited away in a police car. He also tries our patience with characters endlessly leaving each other and returning a second later, like moody boomerangs.

It’s a field of love. grins-much more eloquent than any of Roos’ dialogue. Ultimately, however, Paul’s perspective on events is largely confined to the edges of the picture. His perfectIy reasonable resentment of Lurene vanishes in the love story, and soon he is swallowing all this humiliation stoically; taking it like a man, you might say, or like an Uncle Tom, anyway. The film isn’t really about him, of course--it’s the tale of Lurene’s transformation, Together with movies like Cy Freedom and m brig Walk Home, Love Field could be part of a sub-genre of cinema: white people coming of age politically with a little help from their black friends. Now, as a saga of one woman’s liberation, Love Field works pretty well. Lurene is a lonely beautician obsessed with the Kennedys. She worships Jackie Kennedy because Jackie

Just a little hot under the collar Falling Down Directed by 1~2 Schumacher By Puul

Cocker

Imprint

staff

Falling Down is a compelling dramaby Warner Bros. that is dominated by the forces of impatience, anger, and violence. This fiery gem is relative to any person who has been, to put it laymen’s terms, on the brink of totally losing it. The movie opens up with an uptight motorist (Michael Douglas) trapped in a scene of gridlock on a very hot Los Angeles morning. The

camera constantly shifts from focusing in on the motorist’s stem expressions to acting as his eyes and focusing in on the variuos vehicles and people caging him. The feeling of tension and claustrophobia is present, and as the motorist sweatsprofusely,frustrationuncontrollably builds up within him. The camera begins zooming in on mundane items--a man picking his nose, a girl and a boy staring at the motorist, a pestering fly--exaggerating them in order to intensify the sense of uncomfort. (One might compare this scene to Peter Gabriel’s music video, “Digging in the Dirt”.)

Hence, the uptig -;ht motorist fiercely withdraws f;om his car and walks away from the chaos of the freeway into the chaos of the inner city. Withhisshort-sleevedshirtand striped tie, with his briefcase and pocket protector, with his out-ofstyle crew cut and wide-rimmed glasses, we do not know the name of this protagonist for the most part of the movie’s day-long adventure. However, we recognize him as the Everyman; the middle class warrior who’s just trying to make a living. This motorist-nicknamed “D-FENS”, after his personalized license plate--progressively turns from a flawed normal man to an avenging angel, fighting for the liberty of the people he symbolizes. From the traffic jam, D-FENS tries to phone his ex-wife (Barbara Hershey). And although she qever wants to see him again, on account of his notorious temper, he wants to come home to see their daughter on her birthday. D-FENS goes to a comer store to make change for the call, but the Korean storekeeper gives him a hard time. Anger burst out of D-FENS and he literally starts batting down the storekeeper’s overpriced goods to6O’s prices. The troubled urbanite then leaves the store with his change and with the proprietor’s baseball bat. Thus begins the self-destruction of an ordinary man as he follows a warpath to his home in the distant horizon, fighting for his rights as an American. But D-FENS’ vigilante pursuits get the police involved. As he advances in his war for the good of mankind, a patem emerges. This summons veteran LAPD detective Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall) onto the urban battlefield. Prendergast is a pencil-pushing rob%ery detective who gets no respect from his fellow officers because he has a temperamental wife (Tuesday Weld) that is making him re-

tire. And because of this, his fellow officers do not take what he notices at face value, forcing him to singlehandedly stop the psychotic DFENS. There is perverse humour in Falling Down for D-FENS represents us all and the intollerance we deal with on daily basis. Although the justice he imposes is embellishing, we all possess the desires of his actions, however sick they may be. D-FENS uses his trusty bat to savehi.mself fromtwoLatin-American gang members. In a vengeful attempt, the two gangsters pulI off an unsuccessful drive-by shooting, killing themselves in the process; IMENSfindsthattheirbagofweapcm willbenefit his cause. An example of this occurs when he pulls out an uzi at a fast-food restaurant because he wants breakfast but he is a few minutes late. Another occurs when he fires a bazooka at a road constructioncrewbecausehe is tired

of paying taxes towards unnecessary infrastructure. D-FEN% falling down into an abysmal madness. The man we once praised for showing his frustrationswenowdenounceforshowing his violence. There is a slight transition between the roles of DFENS and detective Prendergast. While Douglas is apt at displaying a disintergrating tragic hero, Duvall is deft at displaying an assembling cop who is desperate to be a hero. Credit should definitely be given to the performance of these two stars as well as to director Joel Schumacher forhisclear-eyed guidante. Falling Down is a grim but gripping portrait of contemporary urban reality. It is about a protagonist who shuts out his reason in order to release his instincts, essentially killing himself from within. It dares you, it defies you. It demands you to go and see the movie for yourself.
