Imprint staff Waterloo Regional Police have issued it composit(! of a man they believe could be connected to the murder of UW Engineering graduate student David Zaharchuk on New Years Dav. 1he man wanted for questioning is described as "male, white, early to mid twenties, six feet taU, dark hair just below the ears, possibly wearing an earring in the left e<lr, with no facial hair."

Police had previously issued a composite of a man who hailed a cab near the Engineering complex around the time of the murder. That man, who had been dropped of in a residential neighbourhood in Kitchener, tumed himself in to police for questioning and was found to have no connection with the murder.

The ma.'1. now wanted, previously described as wearing a trench coat and seen in the area, encountered some students in a computer lab and asked for help to login and play computer games.

When the students refused, he allegedly became emotional and made comments that he had been thrown out by his wife/girlfriend.

The man also demonstrated路somc knowledge of the UW computer system.

The future of UW's dance 路dt.'partment appears to be in jeopardy due to budgetary cutbacks.

The matter is to be put before the Applied Health Sciences Faculty Council on January 29, but the Dance Student'sAssodaHon (DSA) are not entirely optimistic that their department will survive that meetDue to the six per cent budget cutbacks required by the university in all departments, the dance department will not have enough money to continue offering it's degree program.

Applied Health Sciences' policy of cut backs through attrition, meaning that whenever a professor retires or resigns the money .from their salary win not be offered back to the department, has crippled the department.

Dance professor Barbara Soren

ternoon in the Theatre of the Arts to honour David Zaharchuk, the 34 year old doctoral student who was brutally murdered January 1st.

Zaharchuk was working on his thesis in an Engineering 1 laboratory when he was killed.

Approximately 450 people gathered inside the auditorium where friends and associates spoke fondly of Zaharchuk from a lectem, situated beside a graduation photo, a bouquet of flowers, and a single lit candle.

Gordon Stuhley, UW's Associate Professor of Engineering recal1edmeenngZaharchuk in 1983 when he expressed some insightful thoughts in a seminar on the peace movement.

He was not a "forceful person, or a public speaker" as Stubley explained. "He was just a thoughtful man," and was "often struggling," setting important goals and resolving to fulfil them. He diligently completed his undergraduate and master's degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, and was striving to finish his doctoral thesis.

Anxious to complete his thesis, he set to work in an Engineering 1 lab on the first floor in the early morning of New Year's Day. Interrupted from his studies by an assailant, he was beaten to death and was later discovered outside the lab by a student security team around 2:45am.

The murder was apparently connected to a break and enter; sev-

eral windows were broken and lab equipment damaged, although nothing was reportedly stolen.

The only murder this campus has ever known, the crime has shocked the university and left it in disbelief because, "that [violence] was not supposed to happen here.

We feel personally violated" as Darren Meister, President of the Graduate Student Association, told the audience.

David Bums, lJvV's Dean of Engineering expressed the effect on 路the community, noting the attendance of Wilfrid Laurier University president and the Mayor of Waterloo.

Zaharchuk's wife Susan, and both his and

Je

resigned last spring, leaving the department without sufficient funds to continue operating as usual.

A proposal to decline further Dance major's beginning in September 1993 has passed Applied Health Sciences Council last week and is to be tabled at the January 29 meeting. From there it must pass the University Senate to take effect.

Current dance majors would be guaranteed their degrees but they

UW dance: "the best artment in North America" would be the last graduates of the program. There are currently 77 dance majors.

Dance Students Association's KatieComeU im't counting the program outthough. She says that there is the possibility of the dance department moving to another fac-

uHy, possibly arts.

"We [the students} have the support of the Federation of Students and a number of other student unions," ComeU said, adding that if it takes all dance students to appear before faculty council explaining why the dance department is so important, then that is what they will do.

The DSA has already sent letten; to university President Doug Wright, President Designate James Downey, VicePresident Alan George,and many other officials pleading their case.

Applied Health Sciences Dean Bob Norman would not comment on the matter until after the Faculty Council Meeting on Jan. 29.

Whatever is decided at that meeting, the DSA is not likely to surrender easily.

"We realize in a recession the arts are the fIrst to be cut, but the dane tment at the University ofWa is, in mymind,thebest departmentinNorthAmerica;" said Comell.

CFS referendum

.UW scientist leads glaucoma research

continued continued from pg. 3 dent-Directed Plan Endowment Fund; Decrease UW Federation of Students' Fee." On the same day as the referendum, as many as 16 people could be vying for the three Fed executive positions, according to Marilyn xxxxxx, Fed secretary. The deadline for applications is at 4:30 p.m. today (Friday, January 15). By Wednesday night, only three had been returned to the Feds.

Students' Council voted last Sunday. to take an official "No"

position in the CFS referendum. Last term, it authorized spending $2,500 , for spending related to the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), a loose affiliation of five Ontario universities formed to lobby 'the provincial goverrunenton funding issues.

Lastwinter, UW students voted to pull out of the Ontario Federation of Students and it is likely that the same reasons will be cited by the "No" side this year,' namely, that CFS, like OFS, spends too much time and resources on non-student social issues.

John Flanagan, an associate professor at the U~versity of Waterloo's School of Optometry. Flanagan is also an associate professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Toronto, and he is a staff scientist at the Toronto hospital.

The project is called "Psychophysical Investigation of Large Axon Parvoand Magnocellular Function in the Early Detection of Glaucoma." It is being conducted at Toronto WesternHospital through its independent vision institute, the Eye Research institute of Canada, by the Toronto Hospital Glaucoma Research Unit.

The volunteers include "normal" subjects, recruited and tested

UW News Bureau

An extensive research project is developing new ways of testing to detect glaucoma, one of the most common causes of blindness.

Glaucoma is a condition associated with raised pressure within the eye. This pressure damages parts of the sensitive optic nerve at the back of the eye, resulting in loss of vision. There is no current cure for glaucoma, but early detection may enable the progress of the disease to be slowed or stopped.

A worrisome aspect of glaucoma is that the victim cannot tell when he or she is getting it. By the time the symptoms become obvious, severe damage may have occurred -damage thatcannotbecorrected.

Also, treatment becomes less effective as the condition advances.

The safest approach, strongly recommended by eye-care specialists, is at the University of Waterloo, and a group of glaucoma "suspects," who for all middle-aged (45) or older persons to have regular glaucoma . are known to be at risk as they have checkups, though glaucoma is not a family history of the disease or completely confined to older per- who are known to have high pressons; on occasion, young people sure within the eye. Also involved are patients with known glaucoma suffer from it too. who twice a year are given a battery Still, the earlier the treatments of tests, the purpose of which is to - which can include eye drops, find out how well early damage oral medicines, or certain laser and from glaucoma can be detected. surgical techniques - begin, the The volunteers receive standbetter the odds that damage from ard tonometry testing (to detect glaucoma will be minimized. Glaucoma is ranked third in the most pressure within the eye) as would common cause of blindness, behind be carried out at an optometrist's or ophthalmologist's clinic.

"We also have three new ways is currently under way in Toronto. • of testing the volunteers, designed The funding is at more than $250,000 over a five-year period and the study to pick up abnormalities at very is nearing the end of its second year early stages," says Flanagan. These are: a test that involves finding out with more than 200 volunteers inhow well volunteers can see a blue volved. light against a yellow background; The principal researcher is Dr.

a moti9n test (how well they see moving objects); and a flicker test (how well they see an object that flickers).

As for the blue-on-yellow light test, it is known there are certain types of light detectors in the back of the eye that are particularly sensitive to blue light and these seem also to be particularly affected by early glaucomatis damage. The researchers know if they don't work normally - if a volunteer's eyes fail to pick up the blue light - this is an indication of damage. Similarly, there are other receptors or axons" in the retina that handle motion and flicker information and appear susceptible to early damage.

"If our tests for these systems prove to be satisfactory, we would hope that in future, we will to be able to spot damage earlier ... and as well, be able to identify people who are simply ocular hypertensive (who have high pressure in . the eye) but who have not suffered ~damage," Flanagan explains.

To date, the results arepromising as the researchers have detected early damage in some participants in the study - damage that would inall likelihood have otherwise gone undetected.

Flanagan and his colleagues will have to wait and see how their early results bear up over time. But what has been discovered so far is that 30 per cent of the at-risk group are abnormal. The concern now is to find out the extent to which the members of this group will eventually suffer from glaucoma.

Other members of the research team include: Dr. Graham Trope, head of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Toronto; Dr. John Wild, Department of Visio? Scie?ces, Aston University, Uruted Kingdom, and an adjunct professor at Waterloo; and three research associates, all professional optometrists: Drs. Donna WilliamsLyn, Wendy Hatch, and Elaine Harrison. Hatch and Harrison are UW optometry graduates; Williams-Lyn trained in Great Britain where she obtained her PhD. She is part-time with the Glaucoma Research Unit and part-time with UW's School of Optometry where she is involved in contact lens research.

Flanagan says most of the volunteers are already ori medication.

This is costly and it may be that some will be found not to need it.

The researchers are also interested in the additional problem: Is the medication working? Or, is the vision of these volunteers stable or deteriorating? Making such a decision, with respect to many of these individuals, is difficult. This is a particular interest of Wild who, in collaboration with Flanagan, has been developing mathematical models to explain how the disease runs its course. These models that could predict what is going to happen.

The Toronto research team is highly regarded internationally and is inclose touch with other researchers working in the same area elsewhere in the world.

"We expect to publish our results in three or four years time," says Flanagan, "and others will follow, a year or two after that."

The researchers have detected early damage that would in all likelihood have otherwise gone undetected.

Safety auditors needed on campus

by Ron Dick special to Imprint

Recent events on campus have caused personal safety to become a paramount issue. Until we are able to live in our own community without fear, we must continue to address the root causes of violence.

An immediately practical project is making the campus as safe and accessible as possible. This is being done through a series of safety audits funded by the Women's Personal Safety Committee.

Several areas of the south campus were reviewed this fall, with participants using a checklist prepared

by the Metro Action Committee on Public Violence Against Women and Children.

Assessments were made with attention given to possible prob-

Improvements are happening lerns of insufficient lighting or is0lation. All recommendations are passed along to the Women's Personal Safety Committee and Plant Operations.

Safety AuditCoordinator Dean Barnes 'reported that several improvements have already been made as a result of the fall audits. In the area of Minoa Hagey residence, trees were trimmed to increase visibility on pathways, and a safety phone was installed.

"There are limited funds available," said Barnes. "We need to be sure the money is properly spent."

Volunteers are needed for the next audit, Tuesday January26 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

If you would like to take part in this program, or submit any improvement ideas, contact Dean at Campus Centre room219, ext. 5330.

UW fills new position on ethics and human rights -- former Ombudsperson gets the call by Isabelle Schade

'mfJrint staff Should you ever be the target of racism, sexual harassment, or any kind of discrimination within the university community, you now have a place to go and seek help.

OnMonday,Matthew Erickson started his new job as "coordinator for ethical behaviour and human rights," and his new post· brings many responsibilities.

Erickson will have to develop and implement an ethical human rights plan. This will involve: looking at, and evaluating already existing university policies and procedures, working with a team of mediators and peer facilitators, and educating the university community on ethical and human rights.

His position is viewed as the "primary university resource on human rights," meaning he will constantly need to be informed on human rights and ethical procedures.Ascoordinator,hemustmake sure that university practices and policies on ethical behaviour and human rights are consistent with current legislation. , Erickson is to be the liaison .' between external ~tteeS (ie:

the Human Rights Commission) and internal university committees (ie. the Sexual Harassment Committee). He will have to assume an investigatory role if necessary to the particular assignment he is working on, and he willbe involved in entry-level dispute resolution.

Although he is new to this job, Erickson is by no means new to the university. He received his undergraduate degree in psychology from UW, he was the Vice-President of the Federation of Students from 1986-1987, he is currently a tutor at the villages, and he was the UW Ombudsperson from 19881991.

Erickson is confident· that his mediation background, gained in part while he was the Ombudsperson, will assist him in his new role. His objectives in the up-coming months is to establish a "reliable sensitive and understanding office in the university."

For now, you can find Matt Erickson in the General Services Complex ( the building with the smoke stack) in the personnel office but soon he will be moved to a more accessible but as of yet undetermined location. If you wish to make an appointment with Erickson, he can be reached at 885-1211 ext.2525.

One project, for example, will help to better train Kitchener firefighters by Simulating fires.

The University Research Incentive Fund, run by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, seeks tospurtheco-operativeresearchventuresbymatching private-sector funding of university-~ased contract research. To date, URIF has disbursed more than $52 million for 650 projects.

At UW, the URIF projects are being carried out in the departments of mechanical engineering, c~emistry, and electrical and computer engineering. .

Prof. Elizabeth Weckman of mechanical engineering will work with the City of Kitchener in assessing and designing a new burn facility to simulate real fires for training sessions. URlF's share is $18,000.

Also, Prof. Michael Chong of chemistry will develop new technology enabling industrial scrubbers to potentially remove harmful emissions from effluent gases. Sponsored by Turbotak Inc., the project will receive $44,330 from URIF. Other URIF awards: Prof. Stephan Lambert, mechanical engineering, for two projects-$81,5oo

Over 400 students with disabilities served at UW The number of students with disabilities at the University of Waterloo has shot up dramatically in the last eight years.

Last fall, more than 400 students identified themselves as having disability and requested assistance, according to the Office of Services for Persons With Disabilities. In 1984, when the office ' was established, just over 30 students came forward. Students requesting services from the office are required to provide supporting documentation to verify any disabilities.

The office offers assistance, information and resources, serving people in eight categories: mobility, visual, hearing, learning, medical, head injuries, psychological and multiple disabilities.

In addition, the UW library has set up an accessibility centre for students with disabilities. It houses equipment such as the Kurzweil Reader, which scans and reads text aloud, plus large- print computers.

east rfa ine today?

by Greg Newton special to Imprint

In the world today, one person in ten is suffering from the effects of hunger, and the numbers are increasing. This year, 20 million people, mostly children, will die from hunger and hunger related diseases.

Yet, according to the World

Commission on Environment and Development, lithe world produces more food per head of population today than ever before."

The issue of hunger is all to often an economic and political problem. People throughout the world, including Canada, go hungry for the same universal reasons: they don't have enough money to

buy food, or enough land to grow it on.

If mainstream media had its way, we may aU very well believe that hunger is almost exclusively a result of drought. Of course, a drought in Canada does not often result in famine. Developing countries, unlike us, do not have the social assistance programs or emergency funds to counter food shortages.

Drought itself is often a direct result of inappropriate western agricultural practices, deforestation, and the cultivation of prime agricultural lands for export crops such as coffee, bananas and cotton.

Hunger can also not be simplified into the presumption that "there are just too man y mouths to fee d . " China, for example, has eliminated widespread hunger, and Holland, with 300 people per square kilometre, has virtually eliminated starvation while the poor in Bolivia, a country with only five people per square kilometre, continue to die from hunger.

As critical an issue as populationmaybe,it, like hunger, is largely a symptom of pov~rty and cannot simply be dealt with as a problem in itself.

Only 44 per cent of the world's arable land is being used to cultivate subsistence food. The rest is left for cattle grazing, c~h crops, or left sitting idle on wealthy estates.

In some countries, as much as90 per cent of the land is owned by less

than 20 per cent of the population, denying small, subsistence farmers access to important lands.

The point of this incrediblysimplified artic;le is to show that hunger is a complex mix of social, economic, political, and cultural factors. More important, however, is the realization that hunger' is not someone else's problem, but a common responsibility. The first step for all of us is to educate ourselves about global food and resource distribution.

Canadian Crossroads International, a non-governmental organization working on development issues, will be holding an interactive and thought provoking evening next week entitled "Feast or famine."

The event, happening on Saturday January 23, at Emmanuel United Church (22 Bridgeport West), will feature speakers, international music and food, and activities focusing upon global food inequalities.

Upon arrival at 6:00 p.m., people will be granted a new identity from somewhere in Asia, Africa, South America, or maybe Canada.

It will be a night to experience gluttony, hunger and feasting in every comer of the world.

Waterloo Public Interest Research Group wants to interest you

WPIRG - makes great conversation from Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG)

WPIRG would like to revive the lost art of conversation. Not preachy, self-indulgent, self-centred, running-off-at-the-mouth, but a thoughtful forum for discovering many paths leading towards improving the state of the world.

There is a lot of good thinking going on out there, but sometimes it just gets trapped. Trapped in a single discipline, in the workplace, in a small and exclusive circle of friends. What we need to do is become acquainted, share impressions, and information, so that our ideas can intersect and be more useful to ourselves and thereby, society as a whole. It is only through conversation that we can come to know our own minds better.

By explaining our ideas we can better shape and define them, articulate them, and come to understand what we know and what we still need to know. The risk in this process is that we open ourselves " up to being persuaded by those we thought to persuade. But then, that participatory democracy - extending the circle of debate as widely as possible so each of us can articulate our views, put olir views at risk, and cultivate clarity of thought and expression, and sound judgement. .

Rebellion against traditional political systems is not a phenomenon limited to mainstream federal or provincial jurisdictions. It seems that many Canadian student leaders are also criticizing the tenets of representative democracy. last week. we published a letter to the editor ("Tuition hikes won't help") from Kelly Greenwell. Director of Services of University of Victoria Students' Society and an Executive Rep. for the Canadian Federation of Students in B.C. She describes as myth the idea that the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) is representative of the students at the five universities who formed it.

First, as another letter writer, Catherine Colem;m, pointed out last week, the UW's Federation of Students' Council has approved the executive's involvement with OUSA and its funding proposal. This Council. like the executive who initiated Waterloo's involvement with OUSA, has been democratically elected by UW students.

At this point, a referendum on OUSA membership would only make sense under two conditions. First, if the executive wanted to make a significant financial commitment to OUSA, on the order of the $45,000 that we used to hand over to OFS in membership fees or the even larger wad of cash that we give to CFS. To date. Council has approved only $2,500 of Fed funds to the administration of OUSA. That's a fraction of what it costs to run a campus-wide referendum. UW students would have a real reason to squawk if the leaders elected to run a $4 million-per-year operation called a referendum every time they wanted to spend a couple of thou'.

The other condition that would suggest that the Feds should call a referendum on OUSA membership is the existence of a huge rift between the stated goals of OUSAand those of the Feds.

No such chasm exists. Here at Waterloo last winter. undergraduate students rejected membership in the Ontario Federation of Students. most feeling that its radical stands on social issues undermined its credibility on more pragmatic student issues such as funding for post-secondary education.

For the record, Fed president Dave Martin and vice-president, university affairs Sue Crack favoured staying within OFS during their election campaigns because they felt that it was too powerful of an organization to simply abandon. But given that Waterloo students have opted out of OFS, Martin and Crack are dearly within their mandate to pursue ties with student groups which concentrate on funding issues.

Add to this the fact that a major plank of Martin's campaign platform was the income contingency loan idea, central to the OUSA funding proposal.

Of course, the kind people at OFS and CFS don't want to hear about what student politicians promised their electorate. Instead, they want a poll on every issue. Well, they may not be pleased with the results of some of those polls.

Four weeks from now, we'll know a bit more about UW students' opinions about membership in student organizations; on February 9 and 10, they go to the polls to decide whether or not to remain in the Canadian Federation of Students. And hopefully the executive elected on those days will have an even more dearly defined mandate from those students.

Hypocrisy: the greatest luxury Having today reached the second anniversary of the deadline f~r Iraq to leave Kuwait, let us consider the state of George Bush's New World Order. Not only have the U.S. military reattacked Iraq this past week but, even more disturbingly, are occupying another third world country: Somalia.

The Somalia condition may appear fairly straight forward, that there are people starving because of the drought and anarchy gripping their country, but this is unfortunately not quite so. An unsurprising parallel can be drawn between the Iraq predicament of two years ago and that Somalia today. Both conflicts were largely constructed by First World hegemony and fetish for the proliferation of arms throughout the world.

Saddam Hussein was armed by the U.S. and other NATO nations for the duration and beyond his war with Iran. He then turned those weapons on another rich nation in Kuwait and failed miserably at avoiding the backlash.

Similarly, the United States sold over five hundred million dollars worth of arms to Somalia in the decade between 1979 and 1989.

These are the same weapons which have been stockpiled and are now in use against the U.S. troops come to free the country of "warlords" and "gun-men." We need not discuss the ethics of arming men in order to use their arms as justification for killing them. (U.S. troops killed an estimated 450 "gun,,:,men" last week, attacking their encampment for their random firing on U.S. troops, none of which were killed.)

Another interestingparaUel between the two most recent extensions of Republican world diplomacy is the incredible unethical behaviour of the United States. We all know of the Iran-Contra scandal which came to the fore in 1987 exposing the fact that the Reagan administration had sold arms covertly to Iran while concurrently supplying their enemy, Iraq, with weapons, thus arming both sides of a fierce war. . Similarly, in 1977, Somalia was warring, backed by Soviet strategists, with Ethiopia, who the U.S. had supplied with more military aid in the previous twenty years than the rest of African combined. However, when Somali efforts weakened and the Sovietstrategists deserted to the Ethiopian side, the U.5. followed suit and moved into Somalia, inflating the immorality of arming Third World nations fighting themselves. .

Canada, the United States, NATO, and

ultimately the United Nations are to blame for the current problems in Somalia and other war tom Third World nations. First World countries supply incredible amounts of arms for these conflicts while the United Nations stands idly by, ignoring it's own resolution to decrease the amount of arms trade to the Third World.

Not only are we to blame for exacerbating the problems Third World nations face (e.g. their essentially slavery to cash crop economies thrust upon them by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund's global cashocracyJ but we jump in guns firing in an attempt to clean up the mess we founded. .

How may I as짜 is Somalia going to be rebuilt after it is "stabilized" by our troops?

What form of government will grow from such an infraction on national sovereignty?

Surely the troops will have to stay in order to keep "peace" in the land, effectively guaranteeing U.S. troops of a job (not to mention the continuation of Republican policy items) wen into the Democratic term of office.

Needless to say, violence only leads to more violence. More effective methods must

be found to clean up our messes around the world. Perhaps the UN should offer an "aid for guns" campatgn, offering help in return for the surrender of arms.

We should realize that the average person in Somalia needs a gun to feed himself only because we have allowed multinational corporations to buy up the most arable land in order to buythecottonorbananas we enjoy here today. Not only do our tax dollars fund the army to occupy Somalia, but our grocery money often ensures the need for that occupation in the first place.

An "aid for guns" program would encourage economic conversion from militaryindustrial economics to the dismantling of guns and creation of more ethical production.

AboveaH we must demand our government stop proliferating arms in the Third World, stop fighting these guns with more guns, and stop telling us that the Third World need.sour help when without our initial "help" in arming them, they wouldn't need our help now.

FTAOK To the editor" Marc Xuereb (Imprint, January 8) writes that "Canada has already seen the effects of three years of a Free Trade Agreement (楼fA)." Actually, it is practically impossible to distinguish the effects of a gradual fall in tariffs from the more significant effects of large sw41gs in interest rates and the value of the dollar.

One can, however, see the effects of freer trade on Canada over the past 50 years, since over this time tariffs have been falling steadily. The average Canadian tariff on all imports was about 17% in 1935, 13% in 1940, 10% in 1955, 8% in 1965, 6% in 1975, and 4% in 1985. Clearly, over its ten year phase-in, PTA is not reducing tariffs significantly faster than they have been reduced before (Data source: Blomqvist et al, Economics, 2nd ed, p. 683).

What has happened during 50 years of freer trade? Canadians have specialized and traded more, developing one of the highest standards of living in the world, one of the highest rates of job creation in the world, and social programs of which Xuereb says Canada "prides itself."

Some people argue that the PTA must represent a break from the freer trade successes of the past since unemployment rose from 7.5% in 1989 to 11.8% in 1992. But unemployment also rose from 7.5% in 1980 to 12.8% in 1982. If the PTA had come into effect in 1980, I'm sure some people would have blamed it for the 1981-82 recession, even though both recessions were mostly just the result of high interest rates designed tO$low down the economy in order to reduce accelerating inflation. " Xuereb writes that, under PTA and NAFrA, Canada can't have a "strong government to create more jobs for Canadians," which isn't true, since nothing in F1'A al'!d NAFTA prevents Canadian governments from encouraging entrepreneurship.

Xuereb writes that, under PTA and NAPTA, Canada can't "regulate the amount of foreign investment," which is false. Investment Canada still reviews all significant direct foreign acquisitions of Canadian companies (ones of $150 million or above). That leaves about two-thirds of Canadian-controlled assets reviewable; acquisitions of these assets could be prohibited (Source: Macroeconomics course notes).

Xuereb writes that freer trade "transfers the decision power from elected governments to corporate boardrooms."

Actually, since the mid-1960's, large companies have had their employment fall as a group, with smaller businesses producing Canada's high rate of job creation.

Freer trade, by enabling more specializing and trading, should continue to make Canada wealthier, giving Canada's government more power to deal with social problems, such as workers not having the skills needed in our technologically advancing society. As Michael Wilson likes to point out, while some people said PTA would bring about the demise of Canada's medicare system, it is actually the U.S. that is looking at bringing its system up to Canada's standards!

Troubled Bridge over Waters To the editor" re: the new bridges over Laurel Creek It may concern some cyclists that there is a small hazard when crossing these bridges. The railings on these bridges slope inwards, such that the handrails are situated closer to the cen~ of the bridge than the base of the railirlgs.

Often, when a cyclist is crossing the bridge, he or she will travel along the sides of the bridge, to allow for the pedestrians who would be using a more central pathway.

As the cyclist rides over the gentle curve of the bridge in this manner, it is apparent that the bicycle has plenty of room to do this. However, as the railings slope inwards, the handlebars (especially if

they are wide) are easily caught on the rail.

The cyclist could easily miss this, since he or she is concentrating on avoiding the pedestrians while checking the clearance of the front wheel.

I have almost wiped out on two separate occasions. The first time, I thouth I was an idiot for having missed something so obvious; I'm a very experienced cyclist, and it should not have happened. Butit happened again, only an hour later! I feel compelled to warn all cyclists about this gem of perceptual trickery.

Capitalizing on Fear To the editor.

Since the unfortunate incident in Engineering 1 on New Year's Eve, there have been a plethora of advertisers attempting to sell students "safely alarms".

We would like to express that although alarms may offer asistance if there is someone within range to hear them, they are not a complete guarantee or assurance of complete safety. It is imperative that the student body recognize that personal safety depends on a combination of factors such as being aware of one's surroundings, travelling or working in groups and using the various safety services already in place on campus (safety van, walk safe, library security, UW police). The term safety alarm is a juxtaposition. "Safety" and "alarm" do not necessarily go hand in hand. Remember a walk home is always a better option.

Affirmative action contradicts its-own ends It never ceases to amaze me when people voice their support for affirmative action programs. In practice, the idea refutes the very principles on which it is based, those of fairness and equality. This is due to the fact that proponents of these programs seem to have confused notions of equality and fairness.

First, people are not, never have been, and never will be equal in the sense that everyone possesses different skills and qualities in different !iegrees. Nobody could reasonably argue against that fact that some people are more qualified for certain positions than others. This being the ease, employers must discriminate against those less qualified for a position in favour of those more qualified, at least if they wish to maximize the efficiency and success of their business or organization.

Now, proponents of affirmative action claim that it is wrong to discriminate against someone on the basis of gender or race. Yet this is exactly what.is proposed when an organization or business is required to choose a woman over a man, or

a black person over a white person in order to meet a quota even though both applicants may be equally qualified. Even worse would be the case where the former was chosen even though the latter was more qualified.

If there any sense in which people should be said to possess equality it should be in the eyes of the laws and legislation that the people set up. By legislaJ:ing for or against a group of people on the basis of race and gender, affirmative action undermines this.

Now, it might be argued that, in the interest of fairness, white males should be more than happy to allow women and minorities an advantage over them in the job market. For as we all know, our society is dominated by white males who have held an unfair advantage over these poop. oppressed peoples for decades.

This type of thinking exemplifies a type of hive mentality in which people are placed into groups according to race or gender and it is assumed the status of this group should supercede the rights of the

individual.

As a white male who flips french fries for a living (we aren't all bank managers), I am not thrilled with the idea of the government putting any more limits on any job opportunities that I may have. I should be grateful to have a job at all for there are others with less education, no jobs, and families to support. If these people should happen to be white males, would they "feel any better off knowing that their demographic group was the most privileged? .

By the same token, if a woman is hired on the basis of gender, or a black person on the basis of race, how does this help路other women and blacks that have suffered discrimination?

The fight against bigotry is indeed a noble pursuit. We should endeavour to promote the treatment of people as individuals rather than examples of a gender or racial stereotype. Affirmative action programs hinder this goal.

Anarchy: The Future of Human Society

by David Switzer special to Imprint Throughout the world, people are dissatisfied with their political leaders and their political systems. Liberal capitalism and state socialism have both failed to sustain the economy. Neither one can solve the multiple crises our world faces; they helped create the crises. In today's society, even the winners are losers; wealthy people are not happier than the poor. Everyone is fed up with government, but no one seems to know what to do about it. Anarchy, although many know nothing about it, is the best answer.

A Brief Description of Anarchy Contrary to popular opinion, anarchy does not mean chaos. Just as Christians who are members of the Ku Klux Klan are extremists, anarchists who blow up buildings are extremists. Anarchy is the absence of government. All people are equal and free in an anarchic state; no person holds authority over another. It is difficult to define further because it i.nherently defies definition (it is what you want it to be), and there are many variations. An argument for anarchy can be made, and has been, on the basis of the Bible; I will not describe this perspective in this article. I will describe my vision of anarchy based on my reading on the subject.

In ananarchicsociety,decisions are made directly by those concerned. People can best meet their spiritual and material needs in small voluntary communities. Each community is autonomous, and the people decide in what direction they wish to grow. Decision making is done by consensus-everyone must agree. Consensus takes longer than majority rule (which takes longer than authoritarian rule). But consensus is worth°using because all points of view are taken into consideration and everyone benefits.

Anarchy is not the absence of organization. The organizations of an anarchic society are established from below, and people are always able to secede. This type of organization is a natural one; people who need to do something together form an organization.

Communities are linked together in a federation to discuss matters broader in scope. This federation administers public services (eg. transportation, communication) that cannot be dealt with by communities. The communities will never secede from this federation, as long as it retains usefulness.

Paraphrasing Richard and Ernestine Perkins, aggresSion is any act that deprives or threatens to deprive others of their rightful values and/ or restricts them in their rightful actions. We think of individuals who commit aggression as immoral. How much more immoral is a government which commits aggression against all its citizens? We've been taught that government is necessary. How much does government affect our daily lives?

Could we not do without it? Government makes us do things we don't want to, and uses violence to enforce its laws. We all pay taxes which go towards things we don't need, including government bureaucracy. Con-

scription is the ultimate example of this enforcement. Humans accept this violence because it is deemed legal, and it is inconspicuous (at least in democracy).

Are the people in government (regardless of the type) more likely than others to put the needs of society ahead of their own? The reverse may be true. We give too much power to those we deem 'experts.' This bestowal of power is most dangerous in the political arena, because governments make decisions that affect us and our environment.

A disproportionate amount of conflict takes place on government-owned land. Or, in the case of indigenous peoples, land the government has blatantly stolen and pretends to own because of its power. In an anarchic state, the land belongs to everyone.

Everyone is responsible for taking care of the land, as well as the nonhuman residents therein. People are free to locate themselves where they wish.

Government doesn't protect us from crime; it creates the conditions in which crime flourishes. Unemployment, poverty, and other injustices which antecede crime will exist as long as there is government. A large number of the crimes that are committed are ones which violate property laws. Crime is an arbitrary concept. It isn't a crime for many people to be homeless while others have four spacious mansions. It is a crime for a homeless person to steal a piece of cheese from a wealthy person.

There are no laws in anarchy, so what's to stop someone from murdering you? A law isn't going to stop a person that really wants to kill you. What about stealing? If no one owns anything, no one can steal anything.

Each community is generally self-sufficient, and all its members are able to. get what they need. If an individual persistantly exhibits delinquent (anti-sOcial) behaviour, that person could be forced to move on.

Are humans inherently aggressive? Examineyourowndailylife. We cooperate with people all the time, and usually aggresion does get us where we want to be. Perhaps our environment-our society-has taught us to be aggressive. (How aggressive are the role models you had as a child and the ones you have now?) However, conflict inevitably occurs; it is our response to this conflict that is important.

Our current system of resolving conflict consists of courts, lawyers, juries, and judges.

This judicial system attempts to decide innocence or guilt. Is this bipolar decision what's really important? Perhaps finding the roots oftheproblemismostimportant. We can find the root much easier outside of a courtroom.

Nonadversarial methods of conflict resolution allow all parties to win by solving their problems together.

There is no need for money in an anarchic society. How would we decide how much to pay people? We could attempt to pay according to the value of the work. Value is what something is worth; this is a subjective measure. But if someone decides what something is worth, that person has power.

People chose a career based on what they want to do. Workplaces are managed by the workers; there are no bosses. When a society places a high value on hard work rather than acquiring money, people happily perform difficult tasks. Truly lazy people are rare; they would no doubt be ostracized from their community. Most people who are unhappy with their jobs now are unhappy, not because of the job itself, but because of working conditions.

Schools are all private institutions in absence of government. Parents and students are responsible for choosing what school to attend. Schools voluntarily join associations which set standards and inspect the member

schools on a regular basis. If a particular school does not provide what students need, no one will attend.

Anarchy provides practical alternatives to our dominant social institutions. Anarchists do not advocate the immediate destruction of all established social institutions.

The endscannotbe separated from the means; because anarchists believe in no authority, we cannot force others to live in an anarchic society. We can only attempt to convince them that anarchy is the optimal format for human society.

RELIGION & FAITH In the 20th Century Presented by theUW Student Christian Movement

The best and worst of humanity I still have a dream today that with this faith we will be able to adjourn the councils of despair and bring new light into the dark chambers of pessimism.

- Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Recent fighting between Hindus and Muslims in which many people have been killed has brought me into a state of mild depression which has forced me to ~on­ sider the value of religious faith for humanity.

In my reflections, I recall the young man who came to talk to me during clubs days in the Campus Centre as I was sitting at the SCM booth waiting for a conversation.

He let me know that as a student of science he saw religion not only as irrelevant in his life but as a detriment to his human development. He then went on reciting in list form the terrible things religion has done to humanity.

"Religion," he said, "is mere superstition that has the great power to enslave us.

Not only is that bad enough, but religion has been a primary source of people's great crimes against each other. Christians," he went on to say,\'are among its worst adherents."

As this man went on telling me about the injustices performed by religious people: the wars, the witch burnings, the anti-semitism, the justification of slavery, and the destruction of indigenous cultures, I wanted to interrupt him and argue that religious faith has brought the world its heroes as well. But his telling of the horrific things done in the name of religion silenced any rebuttal I could imagine.

I have reflected much on that talk since

and in my thoughts I have decided that in spite of the evils perpetuated by humans, one upon the other in the clothes of religion, that religious faith is invaluable to the human condition.

As we observe Martin Luther King day on Monday, I cannot help but see that at the core of King's dream of freedom and love was a deeply rooted religious faith that gave him the strength and courage to face even death.

It was a profound religious experience that showed Malcolm X that the call for justice transcends the boundaries of skin colour. It is her religious faith that enables Sister Mary Jo Leddy to say to the darkness we beg to differ. , It is the present Dalai Lama's understanding of the world as a religious person which makes him one of the world's most respected proponents of peace.

It is oddly enough Nietzsche, the man who boldly proclaimed "God is dead," who said, "hewhohasa why to live can bear with almost any how."

I believe and experience that much of what we find in religious faith can give us that "why to live", as it has in the lives of many of our world's heroes. It is this faith which has the power to move mountains and adjourn the councils of despair, and to which we must tum to confront the paramount tragedies of existence.

Last Febmary, the undergraduate students at University of Waterloo voted to withdraw membership from the Ontario Federation of Students (OPS). Similarly, students at Brock, Queen's, Western, and Toronto, have all held referenda, each deciding against mt>..mbership in OPS. These schools had their own reaSons against offering their support, but for Waterloo their main reasons were too much focus on international issues and not enough emphasis on educational issues, their lack of credibility within the province, and their avid support of a zero-tuition-fee policy.

This dissatisfaction with the provincial (OFS) and national (CFS) student movements was clear long before any referenda were held. Waterloo Feds and other student groups directed much of their effort towards changing these organizations and focusing on relevant student concerns, especially underfunding and student assistance.

In meetings which began in June, a group of five schools came together (Queens, Brock, U. of T., Laurier, and Waterloo) to share ideas on these concerns.

This group has become the Ontario Under-

graduate Student AHi.wcc, OUSA as it is commonly referred to. TI1ese schools feel it is Important to pursue realistic and viable approacht~s to dealing with the problems that our education system is facing.

Formal meetings to discuss government policy began in June V\>ith members of Council of Ontario Universities, (an umbrella organization which represents all of Ontario's universities) including their President Dr. Peter George. At this meeting, OUSA and COU shared common concern toward government cutbacks to university funding and the inadequacy of the Ontario Student Assistance Program.

OUSA has al<;o met with Dianne Cunningham, an MPP and Progressive Conservative education critic, and Hans Daigler, an MPP and Liberal education critic, both of whom expressed great interest in the ideas that OUSA supports.

One of the major issues concerns student financial assistance and its reform to a fair effective program. On this matter, OUSA met with Jan Donio, the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for administration of OSAP, to discuss their ideas, including feasibility and implementation.

Further to this OUSA met with the Canadian Bankers Association, (representing an chartered banks) to discuss their role in financing student lOaIfs programs and

the funding crisis facing our universities.

These meetings and conferences have giwn OUSA valuable information; contacts and access to resources.

In October 1992, OUSA prepared a draft mission statement and document entitled "Shldents for Change: Access, Student Aid and Financial Recovery for Post-Secondary Education in Ontario." The final document was presented at a press conference on November 17, 1992 at Queen's Park.

To date, OUSA has received much media attention including commentary from The Globe and Mail. Support for the proposal has also come from UW President-designate James Downey who after reading the report said, "1 find the proposal that the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance has come up with very encouraging. This is student leadership of the highest quality." The group has also

sparked interest with other Ontario universities including Western and McMaster.

Western, not being members of OFS, have expressed a desire to join the group.

Representatives from OUSA are also meeting with Lynn McLeod, provincial Liberal Party leader, to discuss the objectives of the group next week. Anyone requesting more information can contact the Federation of Students office, CC235, or the OUSA office at 902-481 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5G 2E9, or telephone 416-340-8716.

fJhe MICROW

The politically correct have always been one of my favourite targets of ridicule and the recent publication of a book offering new kinder, gentler terms for our society aptly demonstrates why. The book works under the pretense of providing words which could replace ones which we now use that the authors believes carry with them the racism and sexism inherent in our patriarchal society.

Despite the supposed light-hearted tone of the book, it brings up more important issues of what words, if any, should be banned, and what types of ideas should be eliminated and why. Obviously words such as nigger, jew, bitch, cripple, paki etc. are right at the top of the list, and if the politically correct of the world had their way, would be eradicated ail together and replaced with softer terms such as African-American, physically disabled etc.

The underlying idea, it would seem, is that if one can eliminate racist words and phrases, one effectively eliminates the racism and sexism behind them.

Such naivete always astounds me and while it amazes me anew as it always does, the idea that we should start actually eliminating words is a much more serious threat that needs to be addressed.

First of ali, this idea is little more than preaching to the converted. While it may seem like a good idea to others of a similar persuasion, I hardly think that those individuals who regularly use words like nigger or paki would actually be affected in any way by these suggestions. Words are not the problem here. Ignorance is not a state of mind enlightened by a new dictionary, it requires reason, arguments and a sound philosophical base with which it can be combatted.

Secondly, terms such as physicaliy challenged instead of crippled or non-gender specific terms to replace he or she seem !ike futile attempts at equality. There is the belief that ali people are "equa!" in some respects and that equality is a goal that should be embraced by all, thus allowing us to live harmoniously in some way or another. I don't mean to sound patronizing, but people are not equal in any way shape or form. Some people are women, some are men, some are more intelligent than others, some are stronger physically than others. Rather than try for some reason to gloss over these differences, why not celebrate them and build upon them. We are ail individuals and should try to express ourselves as such. likewise, to suggest that we could eliminate the pejorative connontations of a word such as cripple by replacing it with physically challenged is absurd. in a few years, a new word will have to replace physically challenged because ii will soon enough acquire the negative aspects of the word it originally replaced.

The typical reaction to an opinion such as mine would be one like Michelle Landsberg's column in the Toronto Star about the aforementioned book. The detractors are painted as pigs and the feminists are the true purveyors of reason. The simple fact that feminism is now completely and utterly beyond reproach would suggest ihat the war against words is being won by those who would choose our words for us.

As a postscript, I would suggest that this new dictionary is a symptom of a widespread disease among those politlcaUy correct - that disease making the skin rather thin and unable to hold up against opposing views. it's a terrible effect of a free society, but one has to live with individuals who hold opinions that one finds offensive and even disgusting. It's the price one pays for holding views that others may find offensive.

To continually revise our lexicon smacks of revisionism - an attempt to obliterate ideas and thus somehow enlighten us through ignorance. Double-plus good, eh?

CHALLENGING THE NAFTA PHILOSOPHY OF GROWTH AND COMPETITIVENESS

by Mare Xuereb special to Imprint Unless you have lived in a media vacuum for the last ten years, the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) could not have been a surprise to you.

Canadians may hate the present federal government, but we certainly cannot fault it for being inconsistent: the NAFTA fits the economic ideology that the Mulroney government has espoused since the day it got electedin 1984. ThateconomicideOlogy, which promotes the interests of the largest corporations operating in North America, has been parading through our mainstream media for the last ten years with an incredible lack of criticism.

In the interests of analyzing their arguments more closely, let's restate the underlying philosophy behind the drive to}Vards less government and freer markets.

The argument usually starts off with a line about how faster communication and transportation are reducing the entire world to one economic system. Gone are the days, the argument goes, when a country could only think of itself: every country must wake up and recognize the new era of global economic competition.

All the new players in the global economic system are making economic competition fierce. Therefore, if a country wants its economy to grow, it must provide the optimal conditions for business to operate; otherwise no corporation worth its stocks will invest there. The most prosperous countries of the future will be those who open up their borders to trade and eliminate market-distorting government intervention such as regulation, tariffs, or subsidies as much as possible, as this will entice more corporations to locate there, which will provide more jobs.

A recent issue of The Economist summed it all up succinctly: "there is still a need to convince all levels of society that opening up the economy will bring with it the long-term benefits of sustained growth" (12 September 1992, p. 23). The NAFTA is a logical extension of this type of logic, since it will open up the economies of each country and reduce the amount of control each government has over its national economy.

The Problem with Growth Perhaps the least challenged assumption of economic policy, whether of the ideological right or left, is that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country must continually grow; three to four per cent is normally considered an optimal rate of growth. If an economy doesn't grow by this much, it is "sluggish," and must be stimulated.

Even the term "recession" is defined in terms of GDP growth: if an economy declines for two consecutive three-month periods, than it is officially in recession. If your viewpoint is on the ideological right, your answer to a recession is to reduce government interference and let business get the economy going again; the left will advocate more government spending to stimulate the economy.

Either way, the assumption is that if the economy achieves an acceptable growth rate, everything will be okay: jobs will be available, and wealth will eventually trickle down to all levels of society.

The assumption that growth is essential to an economy's survival discounts two very important points: first, that GDP growth

does not necessarily imply increased incomes of all members of society; and second, that the earth may not be able to sustain the continued growth of every national economy in the world.

As anyone who has taken an introductory macroeconomics course will remember, Gross Domestic Product is simply the total

income for a given period of time (usually a year) of every individual, government, and corporation within a state. Canada's GDP is currently over $600 billion; But this figure, without an accompanying breakdown of the distribution of the country's income, is, in itself, meaningless. If one corporation made $590 billion this year, and the 25 million inhabitants of Canada split up the remaining $10 billion, our GDP would still be the $600 billion, we would have a much different economy from what we have today. If, given that same distribution of income, economists told us that, next year, the GDP would grow by two per ce nt, Canadians could probably be e x -

cent of income-earners control two per cent, which was indeed the case in Canada during the boom of the late 1980s.

So, there are a plethora of economic problems that have nothing to do with the growth of an economy and which are, if we want to make justice a priority, much more important. The argument that a certain type

of economic poliqrwilliead to growth for an economy, then, should not of itself persuade us to accept that economic policy.

Ecological Limits to Growth Equally important to the often ignored question of distribution is the environmental consequences of a global economy that continually grows. The link between economic policy and the rapid depletion of the earth's resources has yetto be adequately recognized by economists or even by many environmentalists.

Everything that we produce in our

ea:n:my - every component t hat makes up our GDP -has some base in the earth's natural resources. The plastic in the keyboard on which I am typing, the steel in the watch I am 'wearing, the pulp in the newspaper you are reading, and the rivers that had to be diverted to build the dams to produce the electricity powering my computer are just some of the ever-dwindling number of resources that are on this planet.

If we continue to make growth the ultimate objective of national economic policy and of corporations, the earth will eventually reach a limit (indeed, many will argue

cused for not taking to the streets to celebrate.

Myexampleisobviouslyexaggerated, but it demonstrates how misleading the measurement of an economy's success by its GDP can be. It is entirely possible, for instance, for an economy to grow at four per cent annually, but to still experience an unemployment rate of 10 per cent.

Growth can also co-exist with a situation in which a the 20 per cent of Canadians who earn the highest incomes control 69 per cent of the wealth, while the lowest 20 per

that it already has).

Herman Daly, who ironically makes his living as an economist for the World Bank, explained this connection in an interview with Multinational Monitor. He explains that the world economy is only a sub-system of a larger but finite ecosystem. If the earth's ecosystem is incapable of growing, then the world economy simply cannot continue to grow indefinitely: at some point the earth will reach a breaking point.

Furthermore, the limits to such growth would be fairly easily recognized if trade were limited; however, unrestricted international trade makes those limits harder to recognize and much more difficult to control (Vol. 13, No.5, May 1992). If we wish to preserve this planet, then, we cannot continue to advocate policies which foster economic grOWth. Competitiveness versus Cooperation The argument that growth should be a prime objective of public.policy is usually accompanied by the argument that less government and freer markets are required if Canada wishes to remain compeptive in the global marketplace. We have to stop giving Canadians a free lunch through our generous social programs and cut corporate taxation, because if we don't, another country will, and the multinational corporations on whom so many Canadians depend for jobs win simply pick up and go to whatever country offers them a more favourable ''business environment."

However, as Chris Lind, a theology professoratSt.Andrew'sCollegeinSaskatoon, recently told a conference of Canadian churches, this logic assumes that the opposite of being competitive is being uncompetitive.

It completely discounts the possibility of cooperation, which is the true antonym of competitiveness ("Report of the Canadian Council of Churches' Conference on Structural Adjustment Programs," Toronto, December 1992).

If all countries are to compete against one another, some have to win and others have to lose. The "winning" countries will be those who offer the lowest paid work force, who place the lowest tax burden on corporations, and who do not restrict the ability of corporations to exploit natural resources. The losers will be those whose wages, taxes, and environmental standards are just high enough to discourage corporations from locating there.

But international trade need not be this way. Countries can cooperate with each other: that's what international agreements are for.

They can agree together on a common set of standards for health care, unemployment insurance, environmental standards, fair prices, and anything else they wish. Any country that chooses not to adhere to these agreed standards would simply not trade with the countries who respect the agreement.

The European Economic Community (BEC) has achieved some success in coming to such an agreement: they agreed on a minimum level of government spending on social safety nets that any joining member must adhere to before they are given access to the European market. Although the EEC has its problems and probably would, notbe regarded by all as the paragon of international cooperation, it looks like utopia compared to the common market that the NAFTA will create.

The NAFTA sets no social standards: Mexican and American goods and services will compete at par with Canadian ones, leaving Canada little choice in how to make

Peace Making and Peace Keeping After, Rio Pugwash is a student club that fosters a broad and balanced discussion of the social and, ethical implications ofscience and technology.

Thefollowing is a transcript ofthe closing address delivered by Dr. Rosalie Bertell, president of the International Institute for Concern for Public Health at an international conference held in August, 1992 whichfocused on global security.

We invite anybody to come and express their opinions on the document at ourjirst meeting ofthe term, Thursday,January21, 1993 in Campus Centre room 110 at 4:30 p.m.

Pugwash by no means supports these remarks, but certainly endorses their discussion.

For further information, contact Daryl Bender at 885-0838.

The enlarged rocket cruise missiles, transcontinental missiles, or motor used in the June 1992 flight, with its anti-scuds used in war, damage the ozone enhanced boosters, probably released even . layer because they emit large amounts of more. hydrochloncacid. These emissions are a part of the global budget of atmospheric destruction and should notbe exempted from scrutiny.

Climate Change: The problems of climate change include both a nuclear winter scenario and a greenhOuse effect. Prior to the Gulf War, many scientists warned of a "nuclear winter" effect if the Iraqi oil wells were torched.

After the fact, with an extraordinarily cool summer in North America and anequally abnormally cool spring in Japan, and the Pacific, our newspaper place all the blame on Mt. Pinetubo in the Phillipines. Certainly both have some effect, but why are we silent about the military contribution? Why do we claim air exchange in the upper atmosphere between t\1e Northern and Southern hemispheres, when the Gulf War requires no such postulated exchange? .

One very obvious omission at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro was a discussion on the impact of war and preparation for war on the earth's environment.

Two examples of this deliberate avoidance were the failure to include in Agenda 21 environmental lessons learned in the Gulf War and failure to use the Rio meeting as a platform to condemn China's underground explosion ofa 1.5megatonbomb (1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb and 10 tonnes above the limitsetbytheUNPartialTestBanTreaty)set off a week before the Earth Summit.

Even more direct, in theitemofAgenda 21 dealing with women, the U.S. bracketed the word "war" twice in the context that women are deeply affected by war, famine, drought, and other environmental disasters.

At the last moment, the U.s. Withdrew the brackets and let the word IIwar" stay. It is the only mention ofwar in the 800-page document coming out of Rio. Why the conspiracy of silence? Why cannot military impact on the environment be given equal platform with civilian impact on the environment?

I would like to suggest that the silence stems from a societal addiction to force and violence as a way to "control" society both within the nation and between nations. A mon~poly on violence defines a government and an army preserves the national identity and personal freedoms. This is the old thinking but does it speak to today's reality? Has our addiction to force and violence blinded us to the resultant loss of fresh air security, clean water security, uncontaminated food security, and economic security which was traded for our national security strategy?

ompetition C -op ration continued from page 12 our products "competitive:" offering corporations the same low wages and low levels of taxation that the other two countries offer.

The Illusion of Efficient Competition A further problem with the rhetOlic of competition is the false illusion that the whole image of "freer" markets creates. Business leaders and the politicians who embrace their arguments can sound very persuasive when they talk about the distortions that governments can put on the market. Governments artificially raise prices, they say, through subsidies, taxes, tariffs, and other means, which inevitably cost the consumer. If only these distortions were removed, the fierce competition to offer the lowest prices would result in consumers paying less for products, thereby raising everyone's incoming and permitting new spending on other goods and services.

This argument, however, too often fails to mention the mass concentration of ownership that exists in most industries, particularly in Canada. As Linda McQuaig, a prominent journalist who has written extensively on the seductive image of globalization, points out, "in handing over decision-making to the marketplace, we are not handing it over to some neutral force thaI: will arbitrate fairly in the interests of greater efficiency. We are handing it over to the small group of individuals who control the capital of the large corporations that dominate market" (The Quick and the Dead, Toronto: Penguin Books, 1991, p.22).

When confronting arguments advocating less government presence in the name of more efficient competition, then, we must be wary of just who will be doing the competing, and whether the power to determine prices, location of industry, and other important economic questions should rest with a few large corporations or in government.

A New Vision The people of Canada need to forge a new direction for themselves. We need to elect a government that will orient the economy toward a just society, where people's concerns take precedence over those of the corporations that operate here.

Brian Mulroney or the Tories are not the problem, although they are currently implementing the policies that are hurting Canadians: the problem is in the philosophy that condones economic growth at all costs and insists that the workers of one country compete with those of another in the interests of those who control the largest corporations.

Replacing Mulroney with a new leader who supports free trade and economic growth will not solve the problems of ordinary Canadians: Canadians must insist on a new way of running their economy.

Next 'week, part three of this six-part feature will analyse the effects of the NAFTA and its underlying philosophy on post-secondary education.

Do we ever hear about this source ofpoUution?

TIle effects of radar; ELF radios; video display terminals; star war spin-offs; and microwave, laser beam, and particle beam weapons are all destructive of the natural Hie support system. At this point in time, it seems utterly dear that the addiction for violence is self-destructive and lifedestructive.

The civilian society is the passive cooperator with this addiction. People are starting to rebel. With mounting damage to the biosphere, climate, health, and children, there will be a growing realiZt"ltion of the source and a strong backlash against a regime which pretended to "protect and defend the nation," which actually destroying it.

What can Student Pugwash do to help in this rapidly deteriorating situation?

First: Don't become caught up in discussions of resource wars rather than destruction of resources through preparation for war.

Second: Acknowledge that war is not "natural" to humans, but rather a learned behaviour designed to bias the negotiating

Third: Embrace justice and international equity as a way to peace, not past coercive behaviour. Help to prevent other nations from taking the wrong course used by Western countries.

Fourth: Demand environmental impact hearings on all military undertakings, including the space program. Unmask the self-destructive tendencies of war-making.

Fifth: Learn to love and appreciate biological organisms, the wonder of reproduction, and the intricades oHhe web of life.

It was a disappointing weekend for the Waterloo Athenas as they went head to head against the Lakehead Norwesters. They dropped both games at home by scores of 54-35 and 60-41. Waterloo rebounded with a gutsy come-frombehind victory over the Brock Badgers at the PAC this past Wednes-. day, 49-48.

Despite the physical play by a strong Lakehead squad, the Athenas were up for the defensive challenge.

The greatest obstacle the women's team must overcome this season is a slow offensive start. The focus this far has been on a solid defence, but in order to become a playoff contender, the Waterloo Athenas must shift their attention to putting the ball through the hoop.

This problem was evident in Friday night's game, when Lakehead scored 14 unanswered points during the first ten minutes of the game. Finally, Waterloo regained composure and trailed the Norwesters by 10 at the half. A valiant offensive effort was displayed < as fourth-year shooting guard Kathy Wordhamrose to the occasion, scoring 60% of the Athena's buckets, charting 21 points, scorching the wood with a much needed 13 point streak in the second half.

Saturday's game had a different tone, as Waterloo upped their defence, keeping Lakehead off-bal-

lead, sparked by the rebounding of Tom Balfe, who collected 10boards to complement his team-leading 11 points.

The teams traded the lead throughout the first half with Balfe and Badger Brian Bleich emerging as the dominant players. Bleich led Brock in scoring with 21 points and 10 boards.

With the game tied 28-28 with three minutes left in the first half, 'last year's OUAA West rookie of the year Dave Picton drained a trey and Bleich crashed the boards for a free throw and a field goal to put Brock up by six at the half, 36-30.

Three-pointers from fourthyearforwardChrisMooreandscoring machine Alex Urosevic tied the game to open the second half and the two teams were back at each other's throats.

The consistency of the officiating became a tad ;;cheesy" as the second half wore on, with all three blind mice having trouble deciding how to call similar situations. One â&#x20AC;˘ consolation was that it was poor on both sides, favouring neither team.

Brock clung to a six-p<!int lead with two minutes remaming, but two Moore free throws and a Balfe bucket over .All-Canadian Gord Wood pulled UW within a deuce, 57-55. . After a pass going through Bleich's meaty hanqs, Brock's stifling outside defence at the other end forced a Mooreairball ona trey attempt.

Other ;players soon stepped forward for the goat role, though, as Wood missed the front end of a bonus free throw with 57.0 seconds remaiiUng to leave the margin at two.

After another errant trey at-

tempt, this time by Balfe, Brock called time with 27.6 seconds left, and twice again after inbounding the ball, obviously fishing for a foUl

by Waterloo.

The second timeout was a controversialone, though, as Pictonsig- . .nalled just as he stepped out of bounds.

Again, Picton received the inbound pass and was quickly fouled, giving him the chance to ice the game with both ends of a bonus.

Moore's tip of a VanKoughnett drive closed tl'ie gap to two again, but the buzzer sounded with Moore and a Badger leaping for a rebound.

UW team scoring was spread thin but evenly with Alex Urosevic and Moore with 10 points each, while B. J. York and Sean VanKoughnett had 9 and 8 points respectively. VanKoughnett also ripped down 11 rebounds.

Picton contributed 12 points to Brock's offence, while Allen

MacDougall hit two treys on his way to 9 points.

Wood was nearly invisible, coming up with only five ~ints on the day, including his fruitless trip to the line in the final minute.

The Warriors' regular season opened last Friday at the PAC when, alter a slow start, they soundly defeated the Lakehead Nor'Westers 84-70.

The boys from T'under Bay came out strong against the disorganized Warriors to go up by eight points early in the first half. The Warriors edged back into the game, following a lacklustre start, to tie it d~-12 with 12 minutes on the Lakehead took the lead with a trey which was matched seconds later by a bee-yoo-tiful shot from the ring road by Waterloo's oneand-onIy Urosevic.

Veteran TrlshFelszegi, with her powerful backstroke, and Melissa Williams, who blazed through her 200 butterfly and 200 breaststroke events, combined withJarvis,Slater, and Powell to bring home several good relay placings, including a second in the medley <relay versus McMaster and a second in the free relay against Western.

Veteran Jason Krupp swam cleanup as he performed well in several events, including a first in the 200-metre freestyle and a third in his 200 back. On Saturday, Krupp's 50.64 l00-yard freestyle smoked many, for third place.

Mark Goodwin's breaststroke and rookie Andrew Wahbe's freestyle were particularly solid through both meets, helping the team clean up in the relay events.

Imprint sports Both hockey teams hailing from the fair berg of Wa terIoo took a pounding at the sticks of opponents on eastern road trips last weekend. And they'll get to take their aggression out on each other next Wednesday, January 20atthe Bubble (Waterloo Arena) at 7:30 p.m.

TheOUAA West second-place Waterloo Warriors (9-3-1) beat the, University of Ottawa Gee Gees (8-4-0) 5-2 on Saturday, January 9, but lost 7-3 to the UQTR Les Patriotes (5-3-3) the next day.

The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (8-50), tied with the Western Mustangs (8-3-2) for third place in the division before last weekend, dropped both games, 6-3 to UQTRand 52 to Ottawa.

Waterloo played the first-place Gryphons last night (Thursday, January 14) in w'hile the Hawks played host to the at the Bubble. Scores were not available at press lime.

In other division action, Guelph edged the Ryerson Rams 5-4 in overtime last Friday night, but were sutprised by the lowly Queen's Golden Gaels (4-6-1) 4-1 on Saturday.

The Warriors return home on Sunday Oanuary17) to play the 4-7-2 Brock Badgers~t Columbia kefield. Game time is 2 p.m.

Les Patriotes may have started the season in a slump and entered the second half playing only .500 hockey, but they repeated past home success over western Ontario teams last weekend and, in doing so, have risen to third place in the OU AA East behind the Gee Gees, The Toronto Varsity Blues continue to pace that d.ivision with a 9-3-0 record.

Waterloo's victory over Ottawa was a one, with each team being handed 11 penalties and a spat of infractions 'the waning seconds.

rrl rs plit The Warriors were led offensively by Jamie Hartnett with two goals and Troy Stephens with a goal and an assist, including the winning goal. Getting only 19 shots, they were able to score five goals on Ottawa's Julien and Mike Oldenburg. Stephens' 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) leads Waterloo and is good enough for third place in the OUAA. Ottawa's Ron Hayes struck first, putting the home team up 1-0 only 2:10 into the first period. It took Waterloo until early in the second to respond when Hartnett scored from right in front of Julien. lhe Gee Gt.'es went on top again midway through the period with a goal from team captain Mike Fiset before Waterloo's captain Darren Snyder came back with a short-handed effort to tie the game at two apiece.

Waterloo took the lead for the first time only 13 seconds into the third with a goal from Steve Woods and put the game away late with goals ,from Stephens (his second point of the night) and Hartnett.

Special teams did in Waterloo in their 7310ss to UQTR as Les Patriotes capitalized on Warrior penalties to score four goals, including one only seven seconds into a penalty to put UQTR up 4-2 in the second period.

The game was tied at 2-2 after the first period on goals from Warriors Greg Allen and Bill Whistle and Patriotes Richard Hamelin and Patrick Genest.

The Patriotes opened it up with two second-period power-play goals from Eric Girard and Alain Vogin. Girard added another goal midway through the third to put UQTR up 52 before UW's John Wynne cut the margin to two again. Only 29 seconds later, Jean-Marc Routhier put the game away for good, increasing UQTR's lead to 6-3 with six minutes remaining. Pablo Deslisle added a power-

This past weekend, the War~ rior curling team men entered the 80th annual Meiklejohn Bonspiel in Harriston. This spiel is rich in heritage and draws the top teams from the surrounding area. The Waterloo gentlemen were prepared for the high calibre of play.

For their first game on Friday, the men drew Ed Brimmely. Excellent playing by both teams made for a very close game. It was Waterloo, however, that won the heated match.

Saturday morning the ice seemed a bit less white and the granite not quite as grey. The lads had come up against four- time defending champion, Bret Ross. The men played with heart, keeping the game dose. The seventh end was played with bad luck for Waterloo, turning the game in favour of the Ross team. After Waterloo, Ross went on to a fifth victory in the Bonspiel.

Shaking off the loss, the men went on to their third confrontation of the weekend. The three Pauls and a Don gave Waterloo a good

Waterloo played strongerin the second half, never letting Lakehead take the lead again. lJW won the game on free throws, gaining almost half of their points in the second half from the charity stripe.

VanKoughnett played the position of foul-magnet, only sinking one field-goal in the second half but still putting l'Jne points on the board on 7-of-8 free-throw shooting.

Urosevic went to the line 7 times, sinking 5. BalfefoHowed with 5-of-6 and York with 2-of-2 to give the team total from the free-throw line 22 of 25 in tt'<e second half alone - a testimony to Lakehead's hackjob attempt to take the lead.

Balfe had an excellent game with a total of 15 points. High scorer of the game was Ul'Osevic with 24 points, fonowed by VanKoughnettwith21. York scored 9, while Mark Hopkins and Dave Lynch each 5 points on the board.

Waterloo held their own in a very physical game, but still never looked like they ever took complete control in the game. Still they won by 14 points, and a win is a win.

Saturday, Waterloo continued its tendency to take the first few minutes of a game off as t.he Nor'Westers stomled on a 16-2 nm to erase an early 7-7 tie.

Balle broke Wa.terloo's scoreless string with a short jumper and ",",~ ... L路,~.ri an eight-point run which ended off with a fade shot to put Waterloo within Waterloo edged closer 'lmtil three minutt's remained in the half, when Urosevic drained a to

When it was over, the boys from Waterloo were standing once again in the light of victory.

In the final game, the men found themselves against Tork Sorenson. Another well-played match put the men into the winner's circle once again. With this final victory, the Waterloo men had won their division.

On Saturday, January 9, the Athena curling team participated in the Kitchener-Waterloo Granite Club Busine.'>S Ladies' Bonspiel to help prepare for their upcoming OWIAA West Sectionals. The team, consisting of skip Margaret Corey, vice skip Jodi Kerr, second Karyn IssIer, and lead Jennifer Smith played two ganles, winning the first 7-3 and the second 8-4.

Lakehead started the second half as they did the first: on a run, reeling off eight straight points to go up 49-46.

Hopkins, having trouble putting the baH down aU game, finally awoke and was fouled on a thunderous dunk to make the score 56-55 for Lakehead after the free throw. He then swatted a Nor'Wester shot off of the glass and collected a back door pass for an easy deuce to give \Vaterloo another lead.

This past weekend, ten members of the Penn State women's varsity squash team completed their winter break tour of Southwestern Ontario universities with an exhibition tournament here at Waterloo.

The Athenas welcomed the opportunity to host the tournament and invited the University of Western Ontario squad to round out a three-team round robin. In the United States leagues, ten players

constitutes a full team, while here in the OWIAA, only six team members compete in tournament play.

To balance out the numbers, some Waterloo members played additional matches, while others were added to the Western team.

Under this informal format, Waterloo prevailed over Penn State 7-3 in matches. In other rounds, Western was outscored by Penn State 6-4 and Western outlasted Waterloo 3-2 in an abbreviated final round.

TabathaFroats, inherfirst tour-

nament representing Waterloo, played four matches, winning two of the four. Playing in the number six position against Penn State, she posted an impressive 3-2 victory over a seasoned opponent.

Marielle Baer won three impressive matches, losing only one game in the process. In this tournament, Baer came into her own with newly found poise and shot making.

Susan Jones won 2-0 on the day using her competitive spirit to overwhelm her opponents.

California dreaming

by Simon Foote Imprint sports

Over the Christmas break, 18 members of the Waterloo track and field team, plus athletes from various local clubs, attended a lO-day warm weather training camp in Irvine, California. .Aside from two mornings of rain, conditions were superb for training. Using the excellent facilities at the University of California, Irvine and the rehabilitation pool and hot tub of the Marriott suites, twice-a-dayworkouts whipped the team into shape in no time. ' Although training was Waterloo's top priority, off-days gave the team the opportunity to takeinsome of the beautiful sights of southern Cali/ornia. These included Disneyland, Universal Studios, Venice Beach, the Queen Mary, Rodeo

Drive, Beverly Hills (no celebrities spotted), the Rose Bowl parade and UCLA (wealthy is an understatement when visiting this campus).

For all the rookies attending a Christmas camp for the first time, a rookie night was held where skits were performed and other treats presented, much to the enjoyment of the veterans. In fact, at one point, hotel management thought Seaworld had taken over the second floor lobby of the hotel, but it was only about 20 rookies doing their best seal impressions with a little whipped cream and cheek thrown in for posterity's sake.

The skits turned out to be the best seen in years, with one exception, and included an amusing versionofStuds, Women on Track and an award-winning performance by Johnny Carson aka Brian. New Year's Eve was unforgettable: the

over-age group met up with UBC in San Diego and out-trained and classed them the entire evening, while the under-age crowd turned a Newport beach nightclub into the Party Machine and showed the Americans that Canadians can dance.

Overall, the exceptional training conditions as well as the high level of coaching allowed our varsity athletes to make large breakthroughs in their skill development.

Great accomplishments can be expected from these athletes in this upcoming season.

Fortunately, the team didn't leave anyone in California, thanks to a coupleofGilsam wake up calls.

And what's a trip to L.A. without a four-hour delay before the flight home and a 45-minutebaggage handling delay in Toronto. Don't worry, Air Canada, we don't forgive you!

W nordic sk'iers race with minimal snow

by Dave Richardson

Imprint sports Mother Nature left just enough snow for Waterloo's varsity nordic skiers to race at Duntroon last Sunday.

Team selection races were originally supposed to be held in the Waterloo region, but due to weather systems out of coach Lisa Patterson's control, skiers had to forage for meagre pickings to the north. Meagre pickings indeed: if there had been just a little less snow on the ground, it would have been a running race.

Western was the only other university to show up to the time trial and after checking out the conditions they packed up and left (wimps).

While race officials were decidingwhetherto go ahead with the race, some team members were outside carefully picking the right "grass wax". Other members sat in the lounge and ate their lunches.

At9:30a.m. a 1.S-kilometre loop was found to be fit for the classic technique race. Unfortunately, Waterloo was the only team left on the race site.

As racing conditions were so peculiar, Patterson didn't think it was wise to select the team based on the results from the race.

Team spots may have not been on the line but a race is a race and some superb efforts were put forth.

In the women's race, Lisa Patterson beat Julia Norman by a narrow margin of 10 seconds. Linda Lee, Jackie Martin, and new member Tanya Moore all skied well,

finishing within 45 seconds of each other. The men demonstrated team spirit by performing "the wave" alongside the trail as each skier passed. Who says nordic skiing isn't a glory sport?

Dennis Paradine led the men's team, closely followed by new additionandformerOntarioreamskier Ron Howden. _ Brent Curry, Steve Paradine, and Ken Macleod finished within a remarka6ly small margin of two seconds from each other. GaryPluim

(sporting a new goatee), Trevor Stewart, Rob Milburn, Dave Richardson, Scott Viznidwski, and Austin Dumas rounded out the rest of the field.

The women's team provided encouraging cheers at the top of a particularly onerous hill but the author was too busy coughing. up his peanut butter and honey sandwich to notice.

The team travels to Ottawa this weekend to race three important races.

Alicia Lok, playing in position five against Penn. State, outclassed her opponent 3-0 showing good a~v:eness and concentration.

Substitutingatnumbersixfor Western, she won 3-1 and in her final match against the number four Mustang player, used her newfound drop shot effectively to defeat her opponent 3-0.

Heather Macleod, presently on a work term in Brantford, returned to play at the number four position against Penn State. With a hard fought victory in the fifth and deciding game, she prevailed 3-2 with solid defence and some excellent shot-making. Against her Western opponent, she was not as fortunate, losing 0-3.

Honee Hoculik, playing number three versus Penn State lost to a more experienced player 0-3.

Against the number-two Western player, she again faced a more experienced opponent, but this time used her gutsy defensive skills and her excellent offensive strategy to win a hard fought 3-1 victory.

Christine Anderson played

both thenumber-one and two Penn State players. Against the top seed, Anderson fought valiantly to keep allof the games close, but in the end, experience prevailed 3-0.

In her match versus the second player, Anderson faced a different style of play and adapted her game to win a challenging 3-1 victory coming back in the final game from an 8-2 deficit to win 10-9. Against thenumber-one Western player, she ran out of steam and lost quietly 0-3.

ThisweekendtheAthenashead to London to begin the second half of the regular season with a crossover tournament against the Eastern division teams. They will be playing tough teams from Toronto and Queen's, as well as an inexperienced Ryerson squad.

While the Athenas are in london, the Warriors squash team will be hosting their cross-over on Friday and Saturday at the PAC and the Northfield Squash Cub in Waterloo. Come out and support the Waterloo squash teams.

Register between 9 a.m. and noon or 1 and 4 p.m.

Badminton, Everyone

by Gerry Yen

JEFF MILLER Warrior Track and Field

AMY JARVIS Athena Swimming

The University of Waterloo has selected Amy Jarvis, a first-year mathematics student, as female athlete of the week. Jarvis had three outstanding performances this weekend, recording one first and two second-place finishes while still recovering from a very tough training camp in Florida.

On Friday at McMaster, Jarvis placed second in the 400 1M with a time of 5:19:96, barely being de''>i featedby a Mac swimmer who came in at 5:19:80. Jarvis' performance was good enough to mover her into second place on the Athena's alltime top-ten list. Saturday saw Jarvis take a first in the 800-m freestyle, and a second in the 200-m backstroke, losing her second race by only ten one-hundredths of a second.

In her first year at Waterloo, Jarvis' weekend perforinanceshave provided the Athenas with sone valuable racing leadership.

The University of Waterloo has selected Jeff Miller, a second-year engineering student, as male athlete of the week.

At the University of Toronto Invitational this weekend, Miller qualified for the ClAUs in pole vaulting, clearing 4.65 metres. The CIAU standard is 4.38 metres.

Miller's performance was both his personal best and a school best, as he now holds the UW varsity record.

Miller, a former member of the Junior Pan Am Team and last year's rookie of the year, is a highly committed athlete.

He trains for speed at UW and also travels to Toronto weekly to do specific pole vault technique sessions.

Badminton is the least understood sport in the country. The misperception of the game is enormous.

Canadian sports fans, however, put great stock in sports statistics, and it just may be that the numbers below will be enlightening. These figures were gathered to compare the men's singles final at Wimbledon, in which Boris Becker (Germany) defeated Kevin Curren (U.S.A), 6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 with the men's singles finals at the World Badminton Championships held in June, in which Han Jian (China) defeated Morton Frost (I)enrnark),14-18,l5-10, 15-8. These statistics must be admitted as describing the current top standard of each sport.

Intensity: At Wimbledon, the singles final lasted a total of three hours and eighteen minutes. In these 198 minutes, the tennis ball was in play 18 minutes. For 180 minutes, the players were walking or sitting in between rallies. That means three hours of rest for 18 minutes of play. One could say that the intensity of the match was only 18/198, or 9 per cent. At Calgary, the final lasted one hour and 16 minutes. However, in these 76 minutes, the shuttle was in play 37 minutes, for a playing intensity of 37/ 76, or 48 per cent. This is just beginning of the story.

Shots per Rally: At Wimbledon, Becker and Curren Played a total of 299 points (or rallies) and these points contained 1,004 individual shots, including missed first services. Simple arithmetic reveals an average of 3.4 shots per rally, including missed first services. At Calgary, there were only 146 rallies played, but with a total of 1,972 shots. Han and Frost produced an average of 13.5 shots per rally. Here is another way to look at this: there were 5.1 shots per elapsed minute at Wimbledon, and 25.9 at Calgary.

Endurance: A simple estimate of distance travelled by the players, based on the figures above, would suggest that the tennis finalists each ran about two miles in 3 hours 18 minutes; the badminton finalists each covered four miles in 1 hour 16 minutes. Those millions ofCanadians who believe badminton to bean easy game should ponder this.

Tennis is a great game and deserving of all the attention and popularity it receives. But badminton does not deserve the disdain it has received, especially in this country, for so long.

Whether you are looking for a place to play, or are a recreational player interested in a new challenge, the University of Waterloo badminton club aims in its programming to offer something for everyone. The club provides the opportunity to play badminton in a competitive as well as social and recreational atmosphere.

Besides arranging play, theclub offers: socia1nights, coaching, tournaments, lower racquet restringing charges, and much more. We play four days a week in the gym. For more information, either see the PAC Pick It Up Booklet or contact one of the club directors: Gerry Yen at884-5063oremailgyen@Systems; Fred Foo at 725-4875 or email ffoo@civil. Badminton is truly 'a sport for life' - enjoy it.

not, then, we've got other options open to us.

In everything I've read about the Tea Party, I keep coming across references to Led Zeppelin. How do you feel about that?

Everybody compares everything to everything else. Art or whatever. If someone comes to one of our shows with a closed mind and they say that off the cuff in a superficial way, then I resent that. One journalist in Toronto said that she had heard the comments and wanted to reserve judgement until she had seen us. Afterwards, she commented that we exhume that essence on stage. So if we get compared to bands like Led Zeppelin or Creem, in that fashion, then I think that's the greatest compliment a band can get. I think of worse bands to be compared to.

I think that it also stems from

Yeah, I can think of the names of maybe, threeproducers that I respect today.:When was the last time that you heard a kind of loose but tight recording with a lot of warmth? I hear all the stufflike Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, but their recordings really disappointed me, because it all seemes a bit too slick. The omy one that doesmyheartanygood,sometimes, is Rick Rubin. Sometimes. Other than that. .. With the lyrics I get into with the band, they're a bit dark and I like to exhume that quality in the music as well. That's the thing you can bring out in production, if you do it right. It's something I'm leaming still, but the thing is, as a band we're going to learn together how to get our records done, our way.

So there is no animosity within the band over the fact that you control the production?

I'll usually come to a rehearsal with a blueprint first of all. As a band, we sit down, arrange it, build it up. Basically the song is pretty much finished when we go into the studio. My role, unlike other producers who seek to dictate, is to oversee thing to ensure that we remain true to the blueprint.

Rebel Yell!!!

Forgotten Rebels The Volcano, Kitchener December 18, 1992

by Sinclair Scott

Imprint staff It was a night of lost souls and lost hopes, not coincidentally near the end of finals. The Forgotten Rebelsisa band thathasbeenkicked out of gigs at high schools for drug offenses. For those of you unclear with the history of the Rebels, word association time. OOA is to Be as SNFU is Alberta as the Forgotten Rebels are to Ontario, or Quebec or something (after you reach North Bay, everything starts looking the same... ). Anyway, apart from promoting the even geographical distribution of punk in Canada, the Rebels are best known for their blatantpoliticallyincorrectlyrics. Their songs vary in theme from racism to homophobia to necrophilia, although not overtly so. In fact, the overwhelming feeling that you are doing something wrong in attending the concert is only tempered by the "Fuck it am" spirit of the band.

Shortly after 11:30 pm, the band and someone who can only be described as Rod Stewartona bad hair day, wearing a grandmotherly shawl started the show. The Rebels rocked through an extensive set of old favourites, including "I Left My Heart in Iran," "Bomb the Boats," "AIDS," "England Keep Your Stars," "1 Think of Her," "The Punks are Alright," "In Love With the System" (my personal theme for visits to Needles Hall), "Time to Run," "Elvis is Dead," and numerous others.

Theshow his a slight snag when . it was discovered that Rod Stewart had a different playlist than the rest

of the band and a problem with one of the monitors. Nevertheless, the band played on with a small yet deceptively asphyxiating pit in front of the stage. The Rebels performed some well known covers including "Ziggy Stardust," and ~'the KKK Took My Baby Away." The audience was privy to a couple of new numbers including "$5.00 Death Certificate" and one about a nail.

This seems as good a point as any to interject a few comments about the Volcano. Firstly,Iameternally grateful for any live music venues in the area, especially ones that are willing to book "alternative" acts. Itis,however,completely unacceptable to play either "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns 'n' Roses or "Been a Long Time Since I Rock 'n' Rolled by Led Zeppelin at an alternative club and wish to be taken seriously. I do not want to sound negative as theVolcano is an excellent venue to catch a gig. It has a dark, subdued interior, decorated with fluorescent fish and lava lamps.

The staff seem good natured toward this activity, although they have their limits, which is understandable. , The show was concluded with a fairly long encore consisting of some crowd pleasing favourites including "Fuck Me Dead," and "Surfin' on Heroin." The Forgotten Rebels are the punks that time forgot. In 30 years, I'll bet they'll still be touring, most 1ikelywiththeequally aged members of OOA, and the Ramones. The power chords may sound a little ragged once the arthritis sets in and the stage presence may fade with that walker, but the Forgotten Rebels will still be here to remind a synthesizer bred generation that being in perfect tune isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Tous Les Matins Du Monde directed by Alain Corneau

by Natalie Onuska

Imprint Staff Set in the reign of Louis XIV,

Toos les matins du monde is an aesthetically pleasing work that contains exquisite cinematic depiction comparable to that in the film A Room With A View. Numerous are thescenesof serene European countryside, where the musician Sainte Colombe lives with his two young daughters.

Upon the death of his beloved wife, Colombe becomes overwhelmed with a grief that calls for him to withdraw from society and finally enter into a cave of solitude.

In his confines, despair fuels his seemingly innate desire to compose pieces and play classical baroque music. HesPendsuptofifteenhours a day in the seclusion of a backyard shed where he is often visited by the ghost of his deceased spouse.

His devotion is powerfully illustrated by intermittent musical segments, revealing his ingenuity and talent as he plays the viola de gamba. These musical compositions lead the most skeptical mind to believe that creativity is empowered by emotion, especially nostalgic. sorrow. .

Main character, Marin ManUs . is played by Guillaume Depardieu in his youth and later by his father Gerard Depardieu. The film also stars Anne Brochetand Jean-Pierre Marielle.

At seventeen, Marais arrives

Let's rub noses like thft Eskimosesl

for the first time at the widower's home, requesting the honour of becoming a student of Colombe. He is granted his wish not because he displays any kind of exceptional talent, but for the fact that the actions of Colombe are dictated by pity.

By this time Colombe's daughters are now young women, who under their father's instruction and guidance have also become great violinists. Madeline, the eldest, secretly continues to teach Marais after her father banishes him from their house years later.

The motivation of this event relies on the belief maintained by Colombe (now Marais' former teacher) that anyone can learn the technical aspects of an instrument and the music it produces. This exemplifies a truth that encompasses all art forms. Creativity cannot be

taught by anyone other than the self. However, he also upholds the ideal of the true spirit of music being for its own sake, to be made alone - a labour of love.

Marais betrays Sainte Colombe's philosophy by surrendering to himself materialism and conformity by becoming the director of musicians in LouisXIV'scourt.

A romance flourishes between Madeline and the pupil Marais onlYr_. to die with the birth of their still.:. born child. As these incidents pm!'aiel one another the aging Mar_ submits to the heightofhisegoamtrie depths and indulges in seIfabsorbtion.

Winner of the 1991 Louis Delluc Prize and seven French Cesar awards, its portrayal of conflicting loyalties is thought provoking and musicially inspiring, even for those who are not musicians,

Specia' to the Imprint When attempting to describe One, theska/reggae/rockband that played at the Bombshelter last Friday night, many words come to mind -- "funky would be one, "grOOVY", another. Even the idiotic term "rockin'" can't be ignored. But, probably, the best adjective I can use to capture the show in a nutshell would be "intense." The entire show was really fucking intense.

I don't want to start deconstructing the whole evening, but,Ican'thelpwonderingjustwhat it was that brought about the intensity, so intensely. It could be the fact that it was the first Friday of the term (there were, after all, a lot of drunken idiots, some of whom couldn't keep themselves off the stage), or maybe the stars and plan-

Despite my total lack of familiarity with any of the songs, (aside from the few covers I'm sure everybody recognized),the music was great. The floor was crowded before, during and after sets, and I could have swom I saw Jesus out on the dance floor, grooving with the rest of us.

by Phil Robinson Imprint staff After more than a year of grunge bands exploring their Black Sabbath roots, it's almost refreshing to hear a pure pop release. The Popinjays (from Britian) focus their sound on high b.p.m.'s with just enough guitars and synths to create a seemless aural foundation for the sweet singing of the unidentified vocalist. Their sound almost reminds me of numerous mid-SO's Britsh pop bands, but I can never seem to come up with that all encompassing metaphor. And despite their ever present familiarity, their sound never breeds contempt Flying Daunt ta Mono Valley is an infectious eleven song sugar coated treat. "Monster Mouth" starts it aU off with a high energy romp that'll have you dancing around your apartment. "Too Jung" plays aroung with the same verbal pun alluded to in Carole Pope's For Those VV!1O 111ink Y01mg(Jung), and there's also a tip of the hat to American culture in "Vote Elvis" less of where you begin, the jays win get under your skin for a three

Autumn Moon is an ambitious effort orchestrated by Scott DL>ncau.

It is his first independant release and establishes his for future success. This release and frequent local performances add to the recent emergence of great music in the Kitchener jWaterIao area, There are a number of local artislic and musical contributions from artists Bill Downey and Michael Deneau and performers, Vanessa Slack and Michael Busseri.

The recording itself offers the chance for a pensive journey through a number of stories about life and its meaning. Although intense ,md thought provoking, the CD maintains its position in a mellow, folky genre of music.

Deneau's talent is wen demonstrated through his superb guitar ability. He is a polished musician, easily reflected in cuts like the al-. bum's title track, "Autumn Moon."

ASideiromDeneau'smusicality,rus lyrics demand critical attention.

Without a constant reverence to his words, one runs the risk of beceminglostin the somewhat overly symbiotic n.ature of the songs.

Althoughsomewhatidealistic, a clear message is conveyed in each track. There are times Autumn Moon is reminiscent of work by Cat Stevens or Harry Chapin. "It's Hard

to Believe" may be paralleled to Stevens'''CafsintheCradle.'' Mike Busseri's piano on "Watching the World Go By" adds a beautiful sensibility to the recording. The highlight however is most definitely "Bradley Brady." Vanessa Slack injects a burst of energy into the song adding a touch of variety to Autumn Moon-a definite knee-slapping appeal!!! Unforhmtately, the length of the album leads to a somewhat repetitious sound. However, selected pieces assemble an overall wonderful first release.

I definitely recommend Deneau's Autumn Moon for anyone wanting to get a jump on a good thing.

"So smile, smile all the time Smile all your life Don't ever die" -"Happy Busman" I had heard of The Frank and Walters long before I had heard them. In England," this Cork (Ireland) trio have garnished their fair share of attention and publicity, most of which has been positive.

Any random leafing through of an NME finds their name popping up often. The summer found TheF&Ws in the company of the big names as they shared the stage at some of the major music festivals. Well the wait is over. Trains, Boats and Planes has been released domestically and quite frank and walterly, it was well worth the wait.

I hate to use the word pop, but this is a damn fine good natured pop rock album. This is not grunge or Mancunian or thrash. This is straight ahead pop rock with dead ahead lyrics. There is a sublime earnestness in the vocals, at times almost an uneasy breathiness suggesting that the wordscan'tbe sung fast enough for them. Kind of like when you were a small kid and you were trying to ryhme off your

lengthy Christmas list to your parents as fast as you coUld in case you'd be cut off and couldn't get everything in in time.

"AndIwantandIneedandI.... The Frank and Waltersarenotconcemed with solving the world's problems, nor are they intent on tugging at heart strings. Fun is the order of the day and Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine's adage "Havea good time all the time" is definitely in full effect here.

From what I understand, the band's name. is a reference to two well known characters (Frank and Walter) who reside iIi. Cork's inner city area. Dublin has generally been recognized as the musical capital of Ireland, but of late, Cork has been home to its share of successful stories. Most notably is the Sultans of Ping F.C., another band who has

spent a lot of energy in putting amuSe back into music.

Ostensibly, a good review should serve to prompt the reader into purchasing the album. I understand that most people are unwilling to take a chance when at the record more. Why else would shit like Robert Palmer's Ridin' High (also reviewed this week) still sell shitloads while newcomers like The Frank and Waltersareeasilypassed over. Trains, Boats and Plane is a sure thing.

Before you know it, midterms are goirig to be so far up your ass that you'll be begging for a feel good enema.. Let The Frank and Walters provide that necessary 1 tell you what, if you're still not sure, yet your interest has been piqued, come on down to the Imprint, ask for me, and I'll let you listen t'o it and

by Dave Fisher Imprint staff In the year since releasing their aptly-named Perfect Sound Forever EP,Stockton-Califomia'sPavement have gone from being an obscure cult band to one of the most engaging and in-demand acts anywhere.

Their sparkling full-length debut, Slanted and Enchanted, is rightfully receiving acClaim as one of the past year's finest albums and - despite virtually negligible sales and airplay - points to a band on the cusp of uncommon greatness.

In what appears to be a feeding-frenzyof anticipation that Pavementare lithe next Nirvana" (a curse tagged on them by the British music press and now sadly parroted over here}, and a widely-circulatedrumour that the band's 'Singer punched the adorableJason's Priestly's lights out on~the setof 902iO, (hopefully it's true), they've blissfully ignored aU their show:"biz speculation and released a robust new four-songer, the Site-Specific

Watery, Domestic EP. As with all their prior work, the Nirvana comparison proves to

bea rather shallow one. Firstly, only the very foolish would call for them to duplicate anything even remotely close to Nevermind's shipping orders. And secondly, Pavement's idea of a rock song also happens toopen1y embrace elements of beauty and surprise. Other than that, the fact that they're both guitar-rock bands does not a solid comparison make.

(Besides, if I were a member of what is - at.this poit}t in time-the coolest bandon the pIanet,I highlydoubtI'd be very enthusiastic about the prospect of being some lazy scribe's pathetic stretch of lame imagination. For my money, we'd all be better-off instead preparing for the . immediate future - of, say, six months - wlten everybody starts proclaiming new dynamite outfits, $t1Ch as Polvo or the 3D's, as the "next Pavement".)

Demonstrating their characteristic hybrid of ideas, Watery, Domestic's lead-track, "Texas Never Whispers", opens with a sweetly-hummingpsychadelic guitar drone before emptying into a loose and funky sounds-llke-Loti Reed strUmming sort of thing.

Should the EP feature a single, the likeliest ccindidate might be "Frontwards" which follows. Although it's guitar-breaks are of the utmost simplicity and it's vocals consistently weak, the song is altogether gorgeous and catchy. .

"Feed Them To The (Linden) Lions", with it's inspired shards of slide guitar, and the EP's closer, "Shoot The Singer", (which seems to replicate Slanted's "Z,mclt, Is Stained"), feature more of their distintive crunching guitars, pulsating beats, and not-very-slick "la-da-:da" vocal harmonies. It's all monstrouslyuncompliC<ilted and logic-defyingly wonderful. .. .

With gossip that Atlantic Records has recently purchased the Matador label with the specific .inwnt ()f acquiring Pavement, and the confirmationffiat Merge Records are going to release a compilation of Pavement's brilliant but hard-to-obtain earlier sirigles. and EP's, (including路the Demolition Plot~and Perfrd soUnd Forever EP's), 1993 looks like it could be a banner year,.

Watery, Domestic, as such, doesn't disappoint.

No, Pavement won't be the next N'll'Vana. Mercifully. But they might just be the next Pixies;

a.l!

Fuck this shit!

Robert Palmer ruins "Witchcraft", "Don't Explain", "Ridill' High", "Baby It's Cold Outside" and twelve other tracks on this piece of shit. I don't pretend to be some kind of40s musical expert, but even I know enough about !201e Porter, Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra to know that Robert Palmer should have his vocal chords surgically removed for this vile monstrosity. This dumb motherfucker thinks he can get away with this shit, and destroy some beautiful music. This is like Harold Robbins trying to write a sequel to Romeo and Juliet.

But you know what, even worse than Palmer is the morons who are going to buy or have already bought this. Man. what is wrong with you? See, usually this kind of crap would be bought by our parents, and that's badenpugh, because if that's the kind of 路taste they have, think about how they raised you! But fuck, I bet there'.s people twenty-five and under who are shelling out money that they've whored themselves for in order to buy this. FlICk. I hope not. I hope to hell not.

Actually, you know what? I change my mind. I kind of hope you are in fact. Then that'll just make it all the more easy for me to start my slave society where people will act

and think only as I and my elite friends allow them. Hey, five stars man! And after you've bought this, come on down to the Imprint office where you and I can really have a heart to heart about what kinds of .changes you want to make in your life and how I can help you.

The pleasure of Erotica was a surprise to me; in fact, it was addictive. I sat in the near empty Imprint office,six hours before my last exam, and reflected on the last three long, very dry days ofinformationregurgitation and thought I'd go crazy before the final release.

Taking unusual liberty for a female in the Imprint cavern, (or anywhere e1se really),I inserted disk after disk into the CD player, for a new and wonderful experience each and every time...

Erotica slid into play and the first four tracks gently lead the rotation into the songs that reverberate with the greatest impact. "Please Yourself" is most memorable, strangely empowering, "Once I thought I was

A little over a year ago, the independent record label Moose Records put out a greatcomp~ation

of independent Canadian artists who either have been released by Moose Records or were willing to appear on the compilation. That album was good, but overall the second record in this series entitled MooseLodge, is better. Althougheach band has a different sound, most of the artists have a down home sound not straying very far from the folkrock or country-rock genre which seems so prevalent in much of the music presently coming out of Canada.

For some reason, it took me longer to get to like this album than did the first Moose Compilation, perhaps because it lacks the instantly catchy songs of first, but if

took me a few times through before I really was able to distinguish and appreciate individual songl>.

This album spans music across many ranges, such as artists putting forth folk-rock (the Lawn, Purple Joe, and Mad Love), country-rock (Positively Stompin', Bob Snider and Lost and Profound), celtic (Celtic Blue) and garage-rock (UIC and Thumposaurus) .

Some of the more memorable selections are the opening song "Debts" by the Lawn contained on their latest albu,m Debussy Fields, "I'ma Cowboy No\V"by Bob Snider with some help on keyboards from Bob Wiseman, Celtic Blue's mad paCed " Bar Holler" from their inde-

If anyone still considers Nirvana to be "rebels" or "mavericks" in the world of corporate rock, this release should finally dispel those misconceptions. A hastily cobbled-together collection ofearly singles, out-takes and radio seSsions, Incesticide was conveniently released just in time for that Christmas rush. So it is less a "new Nirvana album" than an investment in little Frances Bean's trust fund.

The highlight of the collection is the early single "Sliver". The performance bursts with energy and agression, and it's actually a good song, not just a catchy hook. As such, it's the only thing here that even comes close to "Molly's lips", the classic Vaselines song that also turns up (in a BBC radio version).

Still, some of the rest of Incesticide is fun as well. There's another Vaselines tune, "Son of a Gun" (that band's second -best song ever),adecentremakeofNevermind 's "Polly", and a suitably passion-

don't appear on this album per-se, the lineup of the Bookmen bears a striking resemblance to the men from Melville. Coming in as one man bands are Len Wallace and his cover of Billy Bragg's "Between the Wars" and Pretty Green whom consist entirely of Ed Blocki on guitars, bass, drum machine and vocals..

Overall, mostofthesongl> work really well, even though I am not a big fan of the very last two selections and a few of the others I could do without, But still, this is a fine recording and if you are a fan of any of the artists or even this type of music, I recommend buying it and make it possible for another great compilation from this hardworking record label. ate new song, "Dive."

On the whole, though, this collection refelects a dearth of musical ideas and quickly degenerates into pointless boredom. The pundits say that the early material is valuable for the sense of Nirvana's "new wave roots". However, while the Devo cover ,included, and other songs like "Mexican Seafood", are something of a departure from the formula that broke Nevermind ,they are even less compelling than that release. If "Come As You Are" and "lithium" were hopelessly hackneyed and cliched, they were at least catchy. Too much of the material on lncesticide is not even that.

KurtCobainis a talented singer with a sincere musical vision that is obvious in the acclaim he heaps on worthy acts like the Vaselines, DanielJohnstonandShonenKnife. And playing the corporate game while remaining leery of success is understandable, sympathetic even. What is intolerable is that so much of Nirvana's success is based on the idea that they reJuse to play the game: a misconception Cobain encourages.

Appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone while wearing a T-shirt bearing the legend Corporate magazines still suck is not the act of a man genuinely concerned about the issues of success: it is the act of a hypocrite.

e Hoffa

directed by Danny Devito

by Stacey Lobin Imprint staff The trouble with film biographies, from Malcolm X to Chaplin to Hoffa (and countless more) is the wide gulf between the historic reality of the subject's life, versus the artistic interpretation of the film's director. The questions are obvious: where does truth end and fantasy begin? How much of the film reflects truth, fantasy, etc. etc. The most important question to me, however, is how well does the director blend truth and fantasy, in order to create a seamless story?

These queries pop up again and ilgain in Hoffa.

The film traces Jimmy Hoffa's life from his early moments as a Teamster recruiter and thug (truth? fantasy?), to his meteoric rise in

d,

power within the organization, to his downfall and imprisonment at the hands of a US congressional committee, and ends with a speculative scenario of his mysterious disappearance (definitely fantasy).

Little details like private conversations and .the make-believe kidnap scenario seem believable in the overall vision of the film, but these incidents also serve to interrupt the credibility of the narrative. For instance, the kidnap scene, which is complete conjecture, seems credible enough, but Hoffa's youthful organizing" tactics are unnecessarily fantastic. Truth and fantasy ru;e constantly at odds.

Fact and fiction alone provide the necessary framework fora good, entertaining and interesting tale; the script seldom strays from real, documented accounts of Hoffa's movements and words. What the film does neglect, however, is to provide any real depth and motivation II

Jack Nicholson as Jimmy Hoffa is loud, brash, unyielding, and did I mention loud?

Thunderous. There are some spectacular scenes in which Hoffa embarks on tremendous rants designed to bring his opponents to their knees, and the sheer power and volume of Nicholson's voice is enough to bring the audience to its knees. (The similarities between the loud, enraged colonel in A Few Good Men and the loud, enraged Hoffa are truly alarming.) It becomes easier and easier to believe that Hoffa didn't"disappear," as the legend goes, but rather exploded in a fit of apoIn the face of adversity, keep a stiff upper lip. plectic rage, with tiny pieces of his body scattered far and wide, never to be finds Devito using a ponderous, eliminate inquiry into Hoffa's life? mannered style; the slow dissolves, found.

Sy Paul Cocker Special to Imprint

There may not be the rat-a-tat of peppering machineguns or the roar of exploding grenades, but there's a definite foray of emotions in Universal Picture's new film, Scent of a Woman. The movie has veteran actor AI Pacino and youngster Chris O'Donnell delivering an impressive tour de force from their roles.

Scentofa Woman is about a prep school student named Charlie (played by O'Donnell) who is hired to house-sit for a blind retired colonel (played by Pacino) over the Thanksgivingweekend. Assoonas Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade's relatives leave for the holidays, he has Charlie escorting him to New York City. The two characters apparently have distant dispositions, feelings and, in essence, spirits; this makes the two difficult acquaintances.

Charlie seems weighed down with troubles. First, he comes from a financially struggling family and has never actually had a father figure. Also, being a scholarship student from Oregon, he seemingly has few to no friends. The latter makes it diffcult for him to decide

between squealing on the classmates he saw humiliate the headmaster, or be expelled. Finally, he is intimidated by Frank Slade, a man embittered with heartless sarcasm.

The blind colonel suffers as weH, however. Frank displays his stem and plain-spokenmask, which he often uses to rollick in with vulgarity; he is a man trapped in a world of discomfort and darkness.

There is nothing he treasures more than the opposite sex, but he can no longer cherish the sight of a female's appearance. Instead,hemustrelish the scent of a woman with his uncanny ability to smell. Unfortunately his acute sense is no remedy for his despair and cannot replace the things he could once see and admire. Hence, while in New York, the colonel plans to sleep at the Waldorf, wine and dine at a posh restaurant, visit his brother, and then make love to a beautiful woman; all of this before he ultimately plans to blow his own head off.

As the days pass in Manhattan, Charlie and Frank share values between them. Frank shows Charlie life'sfiner attractions, such as a courteous tango (with the lovely Gabrielle Anwart), while Charlie dispenses his innocence and integrity to Frank. Through Charlie's worrying about his problems at school and his care for the colonel,

ow he disarms Frank's weapon of defen,e, his cynicism.

Scent ofa Woman is more than a syrupy story about codal reconciliation, it's a gripping portrait of two individuals acknowledging each others' convictions. Through the course of the film, the two characters actually go through a spiritual transference. Frank confirms with Charlie's integrity and begins to release his own. Charlie understands the steadfast manner of the lieutenant colonel and begins to inherit this firmness, especially towards his decision at school. Together, the two mend each others' broken spirits and live on from there.

Director Martin Brest (of Midnight Run fame) should becongratulated for his cinematic guidance, because these two stars are a rare breed. Al Pacino is startling. With his blind, fixed stare and flaming dialogue, the audience feels for his character. Chris O'Donnell too, is impressive. He pours on his carefree, straight-laced persona for a timeless two hours and twenty-nine minutes, having the viewers revere the character for his tender heart.

With aU told, Scent ofa Woman is a definite must see if a great plot and a marvelous acting is what you enjoy. Make sure you wear a flack jacket at this film because you're in for a blast.

Epps rounds up Christmas Kids Fare Aladdin The Muppet Christmas Carol

directed fly Brian Henson

by Jennifer Epps

Imprint Stoff You've never seen a Disney movie as hip as Aladdin. Self-parody in the form of appearances by Pinnoccio and The Little Mermaid's lobster? Imitations of Groucho Marx, Rodney Dangerfield, Jack Nicholson and William F. Buckley Jr.? The Genie even puts the modem, economist mind torestbywarning Aladdin he can't use one of his three wishes to wish for more wishes.

It is fashionable among those whoconsiderthemselvesindependent-thinkers to scoff at the Disney Studios. We know about mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg's memos; we suspect that no machine as bloated as Disney's could possibly be creative; we feel instinctively cynical about any enterprise that has become such an institution. Making big bucks is doubtless at the top of their agenda. To employ the term "our friends at Disney", as one radio announcer did, is to come dangerously close to the kind of thinking dissenters find so ominous-the Lawrence Welle bubbles-and-smiles world, where family entertainment seems to mean contentless entertainment.

If Disney features were the only animated films out there, it would indeed be a shame. The animation festivals which tour repertory cinemas dq emphasize how much more is possible. However, the fluidity and technical skill of Disney movies are undeniable when compared to the shoddy art-work cluttering the dial on a typical Saturday morning. TV cartoonists usually draw half the number of film frames than can be projected in a second, and this results in those atrocious lumbering superheroes and jerking heads.

There's nothing wrong with theway Disney characters have been moving lately, nor in the rich colours, dexterous lines, and imaginative camera views of films like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little

Mermaid.

The most nagging flaw in this empire's animation is that so many of the characters look the same. Both Beauty and Aladdin boast short, r0tund, bearded fathers; and ever since Sleeping Beauty, jowly, pearshaped serving-women have become a similar archetype. The adolescent heroes and heroines of the last three films have invariably had big Bambi eyes (and the young women, Barbie figures), and each of these recent films has also exploited "cute" sidekicks, personified animals or objects.

Similarly, in the last three movies, songwriting team Howard Ashman and Alan Menken have composed according to a set pattern: the "I want" lament, where the protagonist decries his Iher current situation and dreams of a better life in a more fulfilling place; the chorus number where a cast of thousands invokes a huge spectacle (as in "Under the Sea" in Mermaid); the

villain's song; and so on.

So OK. So that's the context. .

How was Aladdin?

A blast. Robin Williams was allowed to tap into all those neuronsfiringbeyond the speed oflight; the animators worked from his improvisations. The result is a shapeshifting, wise-cracking, whirlwind of a Genie. Williams thinking on his feet is dizzying enough in real life, but when his every whim is drawn into dazzling visuals, it's a trip. The Genie mal<es Beetlejuice look as creaky as Milton Berle. Less inventive, but blessed with a few equally crazy lines, is the villain's parrot, Iago, played by the fast-talking, squinting Gilbert Gottfried.

Now, not only can Williams don a hundred voices and a thousand states of consciousness, he can also really sing. And predictable as it may be, the score is still dynamic.

Ashman and Menken are credited with three of the songs; Menken and Tim Rice with the other three, since Ashman died before the lyrics were completed. The opening ditty is troublesome, containing the

other adjustments that spring from our more sophisticated awareness.

This concern goes beyond political correctness; after all, if folk tales are supposed to reflect folk consciousness, then our society's more egalitarian values should be in that reflection.

The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast began to make headway along those lines, but Aladdin goes even further. The title character is a boy, but the princess Jasmine (with voice by Linda Larkin) is an even gutsier heroine than Ariel and Beauty. She stands up to her suitors, her father, and his evil Vizier Gonathan Freeman),and she doesn't take any crap from Aladdin (Scott Weinger), either. She's smart, perceptive, brave, and athletic.

Granted, a feminist heroine is somewhat undermined by the lack of other female characters--like Beauty, she is confined to a male universe-and by being drawn to ideal dimensions -and revealed in sexy outfits. But hey, an effort is being made.

Furthermore, there is a remarkable through-line about slavery.

The Genie has cosmic powers, but he is a slave, and he would gladly exchange magic for freedom. In this context, Aladdin rather prejudiced phrase, warbled by an Arabian merchant, "it's bar- and the Genie's friendship takes on aspects of Hl1ck Finn's relationship baric, butit's home." But in general, with Jim, but makes its point at a this is an energetic, accomplished . soundtrack,anditdoesn'ttalkdown brilliantly safe distance. The Genie's skin is blue, like a Hindu god. to kids.

On the other hand, The Muppet Care has also been lavished on Christmas Carol tries too hard to be the screenplay, even though four responsible. The last line is actuwriters worked on it. Some people ally: "If you liked this, you should cannot abide any tampering with fairy tales; they see them as repre- . read the book."

Director Brian Henson is too intent on recapturing the old charm.

Whitmire mimics Kermit's voice, and it's somewhat similar, but it isn't the fine frog we all know and love, so why bother including him in the movie? Richard Hunt is also deceased, but no-one seemed willing to take a hint and branch out into new territory-we actually have to sit through Statler and Waldorf speaking in foreign voices.

Michael Caine is very believable as Scrooge, doing it all for real instead of for the record. But he seems like he's in a different movie from these boisterous felt creatures, and besides that, he can't sing.

This film even has an almost imperceptible nasty tinge. There was always slapstick in the Muppets, but would one character call another stupid? It is a horrible disillusionment that Jim Henson seems to have taken the whole tone of the Muppets with him. You can't fake purity.

Paul Williams' score is the opening number, and though this street scene is very well staged, along the lines of the rousing choruses in Oliver!, the rest of The Muppet Christmas Carol fails to seem like a movie. It's aglorified TV special, sufferingfrom a failure to coalesce the Dickens text with the Muppet universe. There are very few good jokes, and almost nothing at all for the adults in the audience-even though the pop culture references and puns have always been an essential component of Sesame Street!

At their best, action movies which play upon the tension between races are subtle in their message and pay more attention to character and plot development than hammering the viewer over the head with a "let's not fight" moral.

being an action-adventure movie to with, Trespass has strikes against it. It has to overcome the banal overtones of the macho might-makes-right philosophy. How",vel', Trespass does this and does so very well, creating characters with more than two dimensions with different aspects to their personality. Walter Hill has produced an engaging thriller with as much brains as brawn.

The film follows Don and Vince (William Sadler and Bm Paxton), two fire fighters who chance upon a secret treasure map to a booty of golden religious artifacts. So far so corny.

The firefighters make it to an abandoned wharehouse (obviously lots of potential for smashed glass and ultra-violence without attracting the police here) where they happen upon a vagrant and, surprise surprise, the twin lees Cube and T and their men are planning some violence.

Paxton witnesses a hit by Ice-T and his men (a businessman and his associates) and in the ensuing panic, Sadler and Paxton take one of Ice-T's men hostage.

The plot the becomes one of escape for the firefighters and an attempt for Ice-T's entourage to rescue T's brother.

The plot develops as the tension heightens between Paxton who wants to get the fuck out of Dodge and Sadler who wants out only

Plans are laid by the firemen to escape and are thwarted by the gang, and plans are laid by the gang to kill the firemen and are thwarted here and there by chance or luck or infighting amongst the gang itself.

Those most interested in the gold are obviously interested in it - it makes sense because that's the way their characters are constmded. That's what l,means about the characters bt~jng wen-developed. They have a role to play and they're not stretched to get a meaning across. They don't have to be because they're well rounded to begin with.

Ice Cube and Ice--T don't stand out as brilliant actors, but that's a symbol of how well they suit their characters. They don't look like they're acting, but in Trespass, mey've brought to the screen the skin that they put on their albums, no mean feat since both are excellent rappers in their own right.

There is, as predicted plenty of people falling. People falling through glass, people falling through (for some reason or another live) electrical wires, people falling inside, people falling through glass, people falling outside, and more people falling through glass.

The very first person to fall lands directly onto a railing on the way dow, and you can feel his spine shatter - this is a brilliant shot which uses a very basic visceral idea rather man tricky camera angles, and again adds to Hill's reputation as a simple but effective director.
