Letter:s to the Editor Symbolism of

WIB name important TO t h e editor, What's in a name? The bid to change the Women's lssues Board to the Gender lssues Board unfortunately never addressed the question. Let me humbly try here. A name symbolizes something. What does this new name symbolize then, should be our ncxt question. C m anyone answer? Can anyone who vutrd on this change answer? We were told thrrc was to h r a Mm'srommisionand a Women's commission. The men's would provide n forum for men, the women's for

TheFederalion of SNdents executive and the current chair of the Women's lssues Board failed to clearly outline there implications. There is no clear mandate for the men's commission or the new women's commission for that matter. Therefore I charge that this vote is invalid. The few students who did vote at the AGM, many of them holding proxies for those students mruited to vote on an issue for which they didn't hear the debate, had incomplete informationabout thechaner " thrv , wmmvslidating. I believe it is the very fear of anything thstsparksof femalepowerin thirinstilulion that is at the crux of the this name and mandate (that ha5 not been articulated) change. The few of us whoareunlucky enough to be aware of the political dynamics between the Iastoipnired feministgroup oncampus(the women's centre) and the and the Frdrralion of Students' enccutive can see the temion in an almost visible way. Why has this happened?

T o t h e editor, We attended the Federation of S l d e n t s general meeting on March 18 bwause, like many others, we were concerned about the motion to change the name of the Women's Issues Bmrd to thehender Isaues Board. We were surprised and disappointed by the jargon and censorship that made the pmcess intimidating and unfair. First, itisa bit scary to know that important decisions Ulat concern the entire U W population require a "quorum" of only 50 students. This meeting attracted three times that many,butthepossibilityisstillgreatthat thegroup caneasily bestacked by eitherside to carry thevote in their favour.Themeeting I,b, v Ruben's Ruled did not orovide a forum to diauss the issues properly and ensured that the proponents of each side would continue to heat olids,hera~~serompromise was not encouraged.

Arriving in Moscow I was pleasantly surprised to find that Russia was not as archaic as I was led to believe. Their airport even had a modern disembarking tunnel as opposed to those staircases on wheels that get rolled up to airplanes. I did not see any KGB agents standing incorners manitoringpeople(1 assume they are now Located behind TV monitors) nor did 1 get questioned at customs. Surprisingly my baggage arrived unscathed and I was out of the airport within 20 minutes. Not bad for a topsy-turvy country. Russia wasnot themythmlrealm of food shortages, day-long line ups, babushkas (grandmothers) selling their most valuable possessions, and overall chaos that peopleand themedia had led me to believe. Fuod was readily available, althouah thisdid inSolveshoppinginsev.. .. erals~orestofinde~er~thin~~ouneeded. The concept of one-stop-shopping has not vet reached Russia. There are basically four types of shopping ambicnccs. First are the state stores where goods aresold atstillsubsidizedpricesand where the best bargains are to be found. Unfortunately, g w d s areusually not instock,and if by chance a shipment doescomein, the race is on to buy before the speculators do. The second link in this chain are theentrepreneurs: thespeculators,street vendors, traders in the markets, etc. The blackmarketemtend tobeofthe younger crowd and make high personal profits selling everything from gas to Russian military watches. However, as with any high profiting endeavour, the mafia is involved.The haders have topay ahefty rent to their mafia bosses for their tables Russians on- worshipped onions. along high tourist traffic areas, like the Arbat; the famous Moscow flea market gettheirhandson.Usually,goodswhich and biggest tourist trap. have been diverted from their original The Arbat and other markets are destination. where the , voune" are takine- . oractical One time I went to a warehouse crashcoursesin theeconomicsof capital- that hadboxesofdesignerclothes,shoes ism: learnina it is more profitable and and bed sheets from Macy's.

Shopping is very popular in Russia However, these hip youths and their obsession wlth American pop-culturearenotrepresentativeoftheRussian populace. The majority of youths attend schools and universities, studying law, economicsandothersubjeck which have futures attached to them. They live on a student stipend which does not come to more than $4/month. Most people have to work hard and watch their budgek in order to survlve the inflation epidemic.

Throughout the day, clubs, "squeeze-its" (don't ask), bean bags, devil sticks, and even the odd diablo could be see arcing through the air of the CC. The activity ceased only for meals and workshops. The workshops covered every-

thingfromleaminghow to juggle thm balls to an advanced workshop on club passing. Props were even raffled off throughout the day, so the jugglers wouldhave theequipment torehearse their new-found skills. The day was completed by a public show at 7p.m. thatshowcasedprofessional andamateur performers alike. The club has yet to decide if the festival will be an annual event, but this year's turn-out was certainly encouraging. The UW Jugglers will be meeting for the spring term in the Blue Activity areaof thePAC on Wednesdaysat 545 p.m

Hey man, I like all kinds-of cheeses! Godspell The&e of the Arts (Modern Languages Building) 8 p-m. sharp, tonight and tomorrow night. $8 students, $10 grown-ups by l3crnurd Kearney imprint staff

I feel good. I haven’t felt this good since the day I first inhaled smoke in front of my friends without coughing up the Cheez Whiz sandwich I had had for lunch. You can feel good too, and it doesn’t involve stealing your dad’s smokes. Tonight and tomorrow night mark the final two performances of Godspdl, the UW Drama department’s closing show of the term.

To undertake the daunting role of Jesus, Jonathan Goad has obviously searched within, tapping into his own senses humility and modesty to create a character both believable and endearing (Good God, speaking of cheese, Bernard . . . >. Anyway, the ~obvious comparison to Mork (you will understand when you see him) is trancended beyond the farcical, deep into the realm of sensitivity.

My one criticism of the show can be found during the intermission. Without giving it away, I urge you to enjoy the atmosphere and good cheer, but I beseech thee to keep in mind these two ominous words: Jim and Jones. Be forewarned. Have I mentioned how good I feel?

Do the Hix>x>v Himw Shake Crash Vegas Stuges, Kitckener March 18,1993 by DCIVU McKay special to Imprint

What the what? Who are these guys and gal? Who’s the guy with the Harley Davidson Tee on Bass? And who the hell is the female Black Crow singing? It looks like Michelle, the lead singer from Crash Vegas, but it does not look like her. They don’t even sound like Crash Vegas. They sound more like a hippie rock band than the creative Canadian pop band they did three years ago. Time, new management, new bass player and a new record label really have had their toll on these guys. Before the show, a friend warned me that they had changed, but I was not prepared for what I saw, heard and didn’t hear. Crash Vegas played Stages last Thursday, to maybe.. ,100 people. Change of Heart opened for them. Crash Vegas came on stage to the tunes of “Dancing Queen”. I should have known then what to expect. Michelle was wearing a dark purple blouse/coat thing with big killer collars. The lighting turned her bleached blue jeans a bright, glowing white. Her hair was cut Maggie O’Connel short, but with long wispy peices where guys would have worn sideburns. There were these long pieces again down the back of her neck. Cohn Cripps, the guitar player, had grown out his

short hair cut. He resembled (my friend pointed this out to me), Neil Youngi off the “Cinnamon Girl” video. He was wearing the same do, armless plaid shirt, and cut up jeans. Now,asmuchasI didn’t really care for the new look and sound, they +d play a fairly good show, all things considering. They are in the middle of a Canadian tour, and the toll could be seen, They seemed tired and drained. Although I’m sure coming

stage

to see only

100

people sporadically spread out probably doesn’t invoke much enthusiasum to play, especially whenonenotesthatthereweremore people on the floor for Change of

Heart. Despite all this they still retained a stage presence (of sorts). Michelle was more eccentric on stage this time around than what I remember. I saw Crash Vegas three years ago at the Sounds of Music Music Festival. I don’t seem to remember her doing so much constant eye blinking and vacant staring with her mouth slightly open. It reminded me of a newly hatched bird sitting in a nest, chirping frantically

for its mother

to come

feed it.

After awhile all the blinking, and stomache holding and frownmg kind of became. . . a bit disturbing. There were about eight people on the floor, and a few scattered

along the sides. Both she and Colin made a lot of eye contact, smiling quite a bit to the people. A drunk man in his forties sitting near- us offered his opinion of the music by way of blatant hand gestures; thumbs up, thumbs down, or a middle finger if he really opposed. This prompted Michelle to sing to him a couple times and even dedicate one of the encore songs, “Crawlly Flowers” to him, the “guy with the hand problem.” From somewhere in the depths of Stages, a girl appeared with a rose. One of the long-haired guys, who’d been smiled at a couple of times by Michelle, handed the rose to her. She graciously accepted, put the flower head in her mouth and spit the petals out onto the audience! Nice touch. Musically now, like I said, they suund like hippie rock. It’s a lot harder and angrier than Red Earth. New songs “1800 Days” and “You and Me” were very classic rock. “Avalanche” was a long, slow song with lots of electric guitar solos. This would be an excellent, mellow song to get stoned to! Even the old stuff sounded rock-like. They played “Moving Too Fast, “ “Down to the Wire,” “Sky,” and “I Gave You My Heart,” but no sign of “Inside Out,” which was both a disappointment and a surprise. It was their “big hit” off R& Earth. Perhaps they are tired of playing it. AlI in all, it was a good show. If Y95 is what you’re into, you’ll really like new Crash Vegas.

I 1 I haven’t felt this shitty since the last time I inhaled smoke in front of my friends and coughed up the Cheez Whiz sandwich I had for lunch. But the hiphaps column is mine and I will make the best of it. Those derivative and boring techno thieves Jesus Jones hit Massey Hall Tuesday April 13th, but you’ve got to be either stupid or rich to pay $23.50 to see them. Well, actually, I guess you’vti got to be both. Finally, 808 State and Meat Beat Manifesto play the 0pera House Thursday April 8th. Rave rave. Rave rave. Rave rave. Those of you cursed with white skin, but feel you’ve got soul can go see other people with your same problem. That’s right, House of Pain AND Rage Against the Machine play at the Concert Hall Wednesday March 3lst. Cool bands also come around, don’t get me wrong. New York’s Cop Shoot Cop hit Lee’s Palace Tuesday March 30th. Finally, perhaps the best show around will be on the last day of classes at the Huether Hotel where K-W’s own War Wagon will play a benefit show. Just a reminder, Imprint writers get free compact discs and get into concerts for free. We always need writers so unless you’re stupid, WRITE FOR IMPRINT ARTS!!! I
