murder

Thirty-four year old Engineering graduate student David John Zaharchukwas murdered in the early hours of January 1. Zaharchuk was working on his thesis in an Engineering I laboratory when he was interrupted by an assailantwho proceeded to beat him to death. Zaharchuk’s body was discovered outside the lab by student security around 2:45 am. The murder was supposedly linked to a break and enter. Several windows were broken and some lab equipment was damaged, though nothing was stolen. Charges of second-degree murder were laid Tuesday February 2 against Kris Eric Warkentin, 23, a third-year chemical-engineering student. He had surrendered himself the night before to Waterloo Regional Police. The University of Waterloo held a memorial service on January 8. Approximately 450 people gathered in the Theatre of Arts to hear friends and family speak fondly of Zaharchuk Zaharchuk was a dedicated scholar who was interested in literature and philosophy, and was the founding president of The Students

of Objectivism.

Dance

department

dropped

The Dance Department appeared to be in serious jeopardy due to budgetary cutbacks early in the winter term. A proposal from Applied Health Sciences Dean Robert Norman would have started phasing out the Dance Department, starting by refusing to admit new students in September. Current dance majors would have been able obtain their degrees, but they would be the last to graduate from the program. The faculty council of Applied Health Sciences, in a January 29 meeting voted 39 to 2 I in favour of Norman’s proposal. The issue then went before the university senate. “The decision on cutback options becomes a choice between saving the Dance programs or severely weakening the graduate programs in all departments,” said Norman in a written statement At the March I5 meeting of the university senate, Norman withdrew his motion to phase out the Dance departmenr, which was obfuscating debate over the university budget. Implicit in the budget’s passing was

4 U the demise of the Dance department. The senate eventually voted to recommend the budget to the board of governors and it subsequently passed.

Gender created

Issues

Board

At the annual general meeting of the Federation of Students in March, a motion was presented to change the name and focus of the Women’s Issues Board to the Gender Issues Board. . Women’s Issues Board chair Paulinejames proposed the changes in order to create better communication between the genders to work on gender issues, such as rape, abuse, and sexism. While James saw these as gender issues, because they involve both men and women, the Women’s Centre and various other individuals did not see them as such. At the general meeting several persons, both men avd women, spoke against the change because they felt that women were being silenced by the change in focus of the board. While people did speak for the motion, the most vocal were those against. After much procedural wrangling, the motion was passed and the changes made official. Within the Gender Issues Board, then, will be a Women’s Commission, and a Men’s Commission. A proposal had been put forward to create a Men’s Commission under the newly created Social Issues Board but it was defeated.

As individuals, we spend most of our time just making ends meet. Looking after our basics needs (like food, shelter, and clothing) and trying to prepare for our future (like getting a degree). But who looks out for the larger community that sustains us? We put our trust in the goodwill of institutions (like government, media, and business) to look after the needs of our community. But who acts as the watchdog to ensure that they are acting in the interest of all members of the community? We do! As individuals we play that role, but for many people, they find greater effectiveness in working collectively with other people who share their concerns. Usually it is in some type of non-profit communitybased organization Ii ke Waterloo Public Interest Research Group! (WPIRG) Through their volunteer work at WPIRG, community members and students work on a local level in the “public interest” to address pressing environmental and social justice concerns confronting our world. Lack of previous organizational experience is no barrier. Through WPIRG, you can share ideas and skills with others and gain the practical experience you need to be effective in working in the interest of the whole community. Some participants focus on issues, while other participants focus on providing support (improving WPIRG’s ability to provide information and training). Interested in participating! Come to this term’s organizational meeting, Thursday, May 13th. 7~30 p.m. to 9 p.m., to get a run-down on the whys and hows of organizing and strategizing, plus a description of all of our projects and how you can get involved.

Banks get slice of Canada student Ibans by Dwe special

Switmr to Imprint

The federal government is changing the way the student loans program is administered, giving banks a greater role to play. Currently the government guarantees all loans, $935 million of which are in defauk. When the changes are implemented, the banks will assume part of the risk 1 The student loans program provides approximately $630 million to over 2 I5 000 students every year. A large number of banks applied to take over this program, but the government has chosen only the Royal Bank of Canada and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce to negotiate with. It is uncertain whether only one or both of these banks will assume responsibility for the program.

The changes were originally proposed in the February I992 budget. The government wanted “to reduce the growing cost of defaults and to improve the efficiency of the program.” It also “expected that this will provide scope to eliminate the 3 per cent guarantee fee on loans, and to increase limits on loans to needy students.” At the same time, the government increased the amounts students could claim as education credits. Secretary of State Monique Landry assert in the Globe and Mail in March that, from the student’s point of view. the program will still be the same. She was quoted saying “the lender or lenders will be required to make loans to all eligible students.” The governments (both federal and provincial) will continue to assess the needs of the students and the eligibility criteria. However, the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) is worried that the banks will take over some of this decisidn making. The CFS believes that students who are a bad credit risk, and who really need a loan, may not be able to get one under the new scheme. Jamie McEcoy, the CFS deputy chairperson, says that thegovernment’s real reason for the changes is to make it seem like it is addressing the deficit when it really won’t make that much df a difference. McEcoy believes that “students are as reliable as anyone else” and “some students will be left out” when the bank or banks take over the program. Laurent Marcoux, the director of the student loans program for Secretary of State Landry, says that legislation will be introduced shortly in par; liament to implement the changes. However, the exact details of the changes are still under discussiov.

Somebody or bodies had more than studying in mind on an early April morning during the exam period when the Campus Centre’s Music Source was broken into and relieved over $ IO00.00 of compact discs. Sergeant Wayne Shortt of Campus Security said that an unknown number of people entered the lower level of the CC through a loading dock door, then moved directly to force the door of Music Source. Shortt could not go into further detail since the

investigation is still in full swing. The fact that the thief or thieves made their ;n/ork short and to the point suggests that they knew exactly what they wanted and how they were going to get it. This probably means that they are looking to turn a quick dollar, and Shortt is concerned that they will be peddling the discs on campus. Se Shortt warns students to be wary of anyone offering a variety of nearly-new CD’s for less-than-new prices. If you are approached, he advises to cooly reject the offer and to report the incident to campus security. Music Source manager John

Jongerius said the break in was a shock. ‘“They obviously cased the place,” he said, adding that “they were- very selective in what they took, only one of each.” Jongerius hoped security can catch somebody but expects the discs to end up in used record stores.

The university’s operating budget for 1993-94 has been approved by both senate and board of governors, confirming the Dance department’s demise. The budget’s approval means that dance majors at UW will be phased out within the next three years. The faculty of Environmental Studies (ES) seems to be the most concerned of all the faculties on campus. At the March senate meeting, ES was the only faculty willing to enter into discussion and initiate consideration of accepting additional sacrifices (meaning other budget cuts) in order to help save Dance. However nothing came of this, and no other faculties were willing to do the same. Now that the fate of dance has been decided, it is again the Environmental Studies faculty that is most concerned about the lack of any university policy regarding the closure of academic schools and departments for financial reasons. “If we propose new classes or changes to existing ones, these go through a lengthy process in the Senate. But there is no such process for issues like dance which concern the whole campus,” says Jean Kay, Dean of Environmental Studies. “Dance was shipped around to a bunch of committees, but what we need is a real system of checks and balances.” The need for such a system was raised at the March Senate meeting and discussed at length. UW president Doug Wright, chairman of the March

meeting, suggested that “the idea of seeking new formal procedureslprocesses to deal with these matters may be appropriate.” So far, the Environmental Studies motion, along with a similar motion proposed by the senate to the president, has been continually brought up

Ken

In the early

Bryson 1980s VMav

Have1 was

serving time in a Czechoslovakian prison for his part in the formation of an opposition party. In I 989 he was elected president of that country. In less than ten years he went from being a dissident poet and playwright intent on chasing communism from his land, to being the president. Although Have1 was voted out of office in I992 (because of his insistence on the unification of Czechosloakia) and despite that country’s subsequent split into the republics of Czech and Slovak, Havel’s accomplishment of becoming president is no less impressive. While I’m no V6clav Havel, I do feel that my rise to power here at Imprint has been no less momentous and speedy. It may seem like ten years to me but I have only been on staff here for just over a year and a half, leaving me to wonder whether I chose this job or if it chose me. Regardless of how I came to be where I am, and I have to put a few cheesy remarks in my first column, I am honoured to fill this position and expect it to bechallenging both mentally and professionally. For all those out there who will jump at the chance to criticize the student press for being too biased or unprofessional, or, god forbid, poor jourrialists, take your best shot. I firmly believe in the rote that this paper plays and can play on campus as an instigator of controversy and investigator of both Federation and universiq policies and practices. The student press is unique in that it can (usually) print more provocative and muck racking material than other papers which must rely on stingy advertisers with covert political agendas. We are generally expected to be more risque and should be celebrated for that. Having said that, there is always room to improve our service of you, our readers and financial supporters. I welcome any constructive criticism of how we do or don’t do our jobs. I suppose I should at least now mention just what the title of this column is supposed to mean. “Metaphysical education” is the what I’d like to thinkthat I am capable of receiving at university. Apart from al I the basics of the university

curriculum,

such as math, statiscomputers, en& neering, and physics, there is an aspect to education that floats on a different plane

tics, languages,

history,

and is, as such, met-a-physical. To each discipline there is a higher level of philosophy and ethics: a philosophy which delves into the questions of why we study what we do (and not just to get a job) and an ethics of how what we do affects others and whether or not what we do is right. Far and above the simple ‘*physics” of everyday life, lies the level of “meta-physits” to force us into contemplation over life

itself. This is the plane I hope to operate on through this column. I hope to examine the issues of the day and find the higher signification behind them, to find the myths that back up certain interpretations of events and situations. What does it all mean anyways? To that

end, I wi II paraphrase

from

Mclav Havel’s book“Summer Meditations,” which he wrote while still president of Czechoslovakia . He wrote: there is only one way to strive for decency, reason, responsibility, sincerity, civility, and tolerance - that is decently, reasonably, responsibly, civilly, and tolerantly. So there you go.

All there by Todd Sielirtg special to Imprint The final issue of Imprint for the winter term held two letters to the editor defending the stance of the “pro-life” movement, and I would like to begin the spring term by respond-

ing in kind to those letters arguments. In her letter

“Rights

and some of their (and Wrongs),”

Tina

Kwiatowski remarks that “it’s an awful shame that great would-be parents cannot experience the joys of chitdren because we are too busy arguing who has power over one’s, body... If we choose to get past this stupid and superficial argument...” Stupid and superficial, indeed! A necessary condition for the freed6m of a human being to exist is that the person has control over their own body, and that control is what must be protected. If such control is trivial to Tina, then she has opened a moral expressway to slavery and all sorts of abuse, for those are the states in which people exist when they do not have protected control over themselves. Such is the consequence of deciding that an issue of “power over one’s body” is “stupid and superficial.‘* The letter from George Paul Dienesch and twelve undersigned (Reality check, babe!?) laments the moral condition of our country where, they say, over 100,000 abortions occur each year. The author uses scientific citation to support the notion that a fetus is a human being, deserving of every civil right that this society’s people enjoy. Drawing upon Asimov’s observation that all life forms, including humans, “begin life as but a single cell,” the author apparently assumes that the life is whole from that point on, and is not the development of a life form. Meaning, of course, that the (human) life form is entitled to the rights mentioned above. Dr. Garrett Harden (Professor of biology, U of California) has pointed out that about “50

is to say!

per cent of all conceptions in mammals perish before birth,” most “within the first few days of conception.” He goes on to say that if alt fertilized eggs are human by law, instead of potentially human, then they must be treated as such. This has some

serious

consequences.

For

instance, Harden explains that these 50 per cent of naturally aborted pregnancies would require proper burials, by law (see Criminal Code of Canada section 178). To say that a woman did not know that she was pregnant would be no defense. Asimov is correct in saying that all life originates from a single cell, but to argue that the 9uolity ofall life is the same, that a dragonfly or a liver which also begin as single c&lls have equal status with humans, Is an assault against Asimov and against the reader. Those traits that make humans human do not emerge until the later stages of pregnancy when it is unsafe and, in Canada, illegal to perform an abortion. Yet this does not mean that at some undefined point late in the pregnancy the fetus attains “human” status. “Human life and human dignity” are not, as proposed by the author, arbitrarily assigned at any one point during pregnancy by those who decide to abort. Instead, they are assigned at a definite point - at birth. Before birth, the mother contains the fetus within her body, and inside they are physically connected as part of a biological process, reproduction. To remove the fetus is to terminate the pregnancy and not the end-product of that biological process, for the end-product, a human being, does not yet exist. At this point, some so-called pro-life supporters would claim that the “right-to-life” lies in that the fetus has a human soul. This makes the basis of their

argument

the transcendental:

where is this soul? They cannot be precise; what is this soul? They cannot quite say. What could be more arbitrary?

Others

may concede

that the fetus is not

a human but a developing human: that is, a potential human. Quite correct, but to guarantee the continuation of that potential at the expense of somebody who is actually a human is ludicrous. By such thinking, a university should examine all applications and say - “this chap has low marks but might pull up his marks, someday, so let’s give him a place over this other one who has very good marks, for it would be such a shame to waste potential.” It is a shame to see potential lost, but it is a sheer tragedy to see it preserved at the expense of what is actual, to see one life built on the loss of another’s freedom. Freedom is a word that has come up a lot here, and in the letters I have dealt with, the entire concept has been sneered at as some petty vehicle for justifying what they call murder. Do not be fooled, dear reader: freedom is essential to life, and to deny one person their freedom for the benefit of another, potential or actual, is to advocate the abuses that have scarred the body of human history. - It is curious, a good friend of mine has pointed out, that the so-called pro-life movement would demand the “right-to-life” for only the unborn, where any mea&e is taken to guarantee its survival; until it is born, and after that the human life and faculty of choice are expendable in the crusade for “justice.” I expect this to be my first and last opinion piece on this issue. I do not wish to engage in one of the letter-wars that sometimes take place in Imprint’s Forum. For lying down my pen at this time on this issue I expect to be called cowardly, unable to answer future arguments, to be asked “just what do you mean by body or freedom or cell” or other word-bending semantic Rubik’s cubes, and so on. I hope that the reader will understand that an argument is won by the reasoning of its premises, not by whose pen runs dry of ink last.

Spring demands

Returning to a formal classsroom education after 4 years of absence from UW, I had hoped to be more forthcoming with praise of this fine school; however, I am compelled to express considerable disappointment. In particular, treatment I received from one staff member of the cashiers office in Needles Hall and that of another in the Language Lab in Modern Languages will be remembered as some of the rudest and most insensitive encounters of my 28 years. If it were not for previous scholastic investment in this university, I would choose to renew my business elsewhere. How is it that any employee ofthis university is able to entrench in inhuman behaviour toward customers? Our national economy rewards such lackadaisical approaches elsewhere in business with bankruptcy. Do employees of this university use words like tenure and seniority as armour, while in the same breath use student pejoratively? Perhaps stopping to think where UW alumni gain employment will help! While charm school might help those employees bereft of social grace, allow me to offer a less expensive alternative. let administrative staff role play students to gain first-hand experience of the treatment students receive in obtaining green cards, validation stickers, registering for classes, purchasing books, and other sundries. Businesses often call this quality assurance. Role players might discover it prudent to have more than two cashiers working during busy weeks of the term - I counted at least four wickets while waiting 20 minutes in the wrong line. They might choose to post appropriate signs so that people know whom they must speak. The university is a decently principled institution which holds students in highest regard is what I would choose to believe. We must all

Out of touch with his inner self. Sexually repressed. Overweight. Obsessive. Violent. The man can’t catch a rabbit. Worse yet, he won’t stop trying. Is the rabbit a metaphor for non-conformism? The imagery of an exponentially multiplying warren of bunnies, each doing their own thing, hopping uncontrollably in blatant disregard of any established order, must be quite terrifying to such a servant of the status quo. Although such fears may be somewhat understandable, things are getting seriously out of hand. The intractable nature of this adversarial relationship seems to have become devoid of any causal raison d’etre. This is aimless rage. Volatile testosterone without restraint or understanding.

life

To the editor: It is a fabulous spring day which demands an affirmation of life. I am answering jill Calvert’s letter in the March 26 issue which raised some concerns regarding the pro-life position. First, I agree it is evil to bring a child into a situation in which it is not wanted, cared for adequately or worse yet abused. But people can learn to (and in most cases inevitibly will} want their child. People can, with some sacrifice of lifestyle, adequately care fo a child. And people certainly can choose not to abuse their child. If not, adoption is an option. What1 ‘finally want to say is that to keep a pro-abortion position you can not allow for the possibility of the humanity of the unborn. If, as you say, no one will ever be able to prove the nature of the unborn, how can we morally justify killing hundreds of thousands of what may after all be human. Can we conscionably allow abortion if there is even apossibiIity ofthe fetus being human, in which case to do so would be to legitmate murder. Abortion can only be justifired on the unconfirmed assumption that the fetus is not human. Worse yet, the point at which a fetus becomes human must neccessarily, for the purposes of abortion, be arbitrarily determined. You refer to the aborting mother in the film “The Hard Truth” as a “testimony of a woman of unbelievable strength, a strength that men will never know.” But what could be more courageous than a woman, atgreat personal cost, giving birth to the child who depends wholy and completely on her for the opportunity of life. No, as a man I woutd never know that kind of courage, had I not been with my wife at the birth of my son. Brent Nelson An unexpecting

The word respect is often used casually in discussions about older people or superiors, the law, and even about ourselves. The importance and significance of respect generally remains unexplored and unconsidered. Earlier this term I attended a World Religion Day forum on Women and Religion and was struck by the absolute necessity of respect in interfaith dialoguingRespect is what makes dialoguing possible and productive. Fostering respect is no easy task, but in a world where religious and other conflicts continuousjy rage, it is imperative. To listen openly to another person means to listen with one’s heart and mind unfettered or unclouded by arrogance, presuppositions, biases or ignorance. These prejudices interfere with one’s ability to receive information being communicated. Each one of us is, in part, a product of our background and life experiences and this provides a context for our words and expressions. It is far too easy to take people at face value, estranged from their histories and filter them through one’s own limited experiences. Religion is often a perfect example of an area in which selective listening occurs. People want and need to believe that they are right and that they have found a perfect and wonderful religion. While living at Conrad Grebel College I began to understand and see the multiplicity of paths chosen by various people. Each person seeks out the path best suited for their life, for no single path meets everyone’s spiritual requirements. I believe the true worth of a path is not found in its ability to prove victorious during critical debate in public forums but in the meaning, love, and inspiration fotlowers receive from their chosen path. Ideology, without respect or genuine appreciation, becomes a barrier and not a bridge to communication. It is clutched like a life vest and letting go seems unfathomable. In such

environments animosities and misconceptions multiply and flourish. Personal insecurities and vulnerabilities become root causes of hatred and even violent aggression. Moving beyond idkology is not a new concept nor a new challenge. Most religious groups and movements have histories of feuds, persecutions and wars; instead of being unifying forces they have been complacent players in causing pain and destructionThe profound irony of the situation is inescapable and simultaneously, incredibly sad. Religions began as a means for people to connect with God(s) for spiritual enlightenment, guidance on everyday life tasks and for gaining strength to ease suffering. I remain puzzled by how something with such beautiful potential becomes avehicle of unthinkable baseness. Despite their less than admirable records, religions assist people in developing spirituality and creating fellowship. Religion’s role is important in a world of ever increasing alienation. Each religion provides a context - an utopian myth - from which believers gain strength, hope and direction. Unfortunatety, religions have, on the whole, failed to live up to their principles. Churches have been corrupted by those seeking power and control, not spiritual development. Competition and separation have no place in spiritual enlightenment. The greatest challenge of different religions is to get beyond ideology and become partners in awakening spirituality, developing community and addressing basic human needs. The first and most important step is developing respect for the beauty and worth of other spiritual paths. Individuals must be allowed to freely and without pressure choose a path for their own spiritual development.

$152,000

to UW researchers

Three University of Waterloo professors in the faculty of applied health sciences have been awarded a total of $152,000 for cardiovascular research. Profs Richard Hughson;kinesiology, David Mills and Kenneth Prkachin, both of health studies, received the funding as part of the foundation’s $3.2-million research allocation at UW, McMaster University and the University of Guelph . A foundation release says Hughson is studying the flexibility of the control mechanism for heart rate and blood pressure and how disease can change it Heart rate and blood pressure are controlled by balancing signals from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Mills is studying the effects ofa number of different vegetable and plant oils on blood pressure, heart rate and several other cardiovascular functions. The goal is to provide a cost- efficient, lowrisk means of preventing the development of some common forms of cardiovascular disease. In a joint effort, Prkachin and Mills are working to develop scientific information about stress and its long-term effects on the heart and heart disease. ’

exhibit

at UW museum

A travelling exhibition from the Royal Ontario Museum about bioluminescent fish opens Wednesday and continues to Aug. I at the University of Waterloo’s Biology-Earth Sciences M useurn, living Light in Marine Fishes explores the many curious species of fish inhabiting the world’s oceans, says Peter Russell, museum curator. Among the fish are those that “dangle lanterns, others project headlight beams, while others have rows of miniature lights along their sides.” Beams of light unexpectantly piercing the darkness of ocean depths were once attributed to departed spirits, enchanted forests and mystical powers. The startling occurrences are actually demonstrations of one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena - bioluminescence. The exhibit presents an overview of some of these fish, reveals ways they use this unusual capability and explains how living light is created.

The key to this sea change might be Steve Bennet, the starting quarterback for the past two seasons. But don’t look for the Warrior offence to suddenly transform into a dropback, pro-style offence. “Bennet is not going to be a dropback passer,” says Knight. “We’ll be looking for more of a sprint-out offence. We like Steve’s mobility, so he’ll be throwing on the run a lot.” August camp won’t be a walkthrough for any of the team, though, including Bennet. Back-ups Kevin Danschinko, Pat Gorman, and Robert Mann will also competing for the starting pivot job. “The gap (between Bennet and the others) was wider last season,” Knight says. “The gap has closed a bit now.” Danschinko will be remembered by Warrior fans for a gutsy performance (8-of- 14, I 34 yards, one touchdown, and one interception) in his first university start, a 12-9 loss to the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks last October. The offensive tine is lacking depth, Knight says, what with a pair of players being hurt in spring camp.

Wailing like a man possessed, Mould managed to make Beaster even more of a moody introspective work. Sy lenghtening and reinterpreting the songs, drawing every last bit of energy from them, Mould created an epic work on stage, a series of songs which, worked better on stage than on album.

by Sandy Atwal and John Jylanne Imprint stafl They did so much better this time. With more time to practice their older material and fresh music from their brilliant mini-album Beaster, Sugar’s hour and a half show at the Concert Hall made last year’s brief set at the Spectrum look like an lifeless soundcheck. This time around, Bob Mould, Dave Barbe and Malcolm Travis put on what may have been the best concert I have ever seen. The first set, consisting of tracks from Copper Blue, as well as various bsides such as “Anyone” and the instrumental “Clownmaster”, wereall played with ferocious intensity. Unlike the Spectrum show, this was a band that cared about the songs. Musically tight and vocally passionate, it was impossible not to listen. I couldn’t help but wonder how anyone could spend the show crowd surfing and body slamming when Mould was up their either baring his soul or at least acting like it. Even the songs which Barbe sang m mere distractions at the last show made it clear that this was actually a brand new outfit and not a version of the Bob Mould band. On “Anyone”, Barbe screams his simple apology at the end of a slow dirge - “I WQSwrong.” The first part of the show ended with “The Slim”, not one of my favourite tracks from Copper Blue, but Mould seemed like hewas in pain when he was

After such a savage show, it was fitting that it would end on an ambient, serene note. Thinking about the show in light of Mould’s career, it would have seemed ridiculous even a year ago to think that he could have put on such an amazing performance without any of his solo material or any of his Husker Dii work. Yet this show must have easily ranked with one of his best shows. Rarely has such ferocity, raw emotion, musical excellence and pure concentration paid off as well as this show. Mould has proven himself one of those rarest of individuals not content to rest on his reputation, but to move on from strength to strength.

lodic grunge-pop in a flourish as unceasing as ever. j Mascis and the boys were thoughtful enough to play at the Spectrum in Toronto, April &II. Opening for Dinosaur Jr was hHead, a Toronto-based band who performed the tightest show I’ve seen them play yet. Though lacking originality (Mudhoney and other Sub Pop comparisons readily come to mind), hHead captured an energy on stage that quickly grabbed the audiences attention. Some of their melodies had instant appeal, but the singer’s voice became a distraction because of his tendency to force certain notes and make them sound unnatural to his range. Not surprisingly, Dinosaur Jr, for lack of a better adjective, were incredible. They’ve tightened-up their live performance. Instead of using seven or eight minutes between songs to tune guitarsand re-re-adjust drums, the band quickly launched from one song into another. They covered an extensive span of their material. While concentrating on their latest release Where You Been, Dinosaur Jr included in its set selections from previous albums, singles, and b-sides. j “I Never Talk To My Audience” Mascis’ voice was as seductive and sweet as ever.

The addition of violins and sometimes operatic vocals to the standard rock and roll set-up bore fruit that night, producing a variety of styles and sounds that lend themselves to a number of ‘*x meets y” comparisons. But such comparisons are being used to the point of becoming devoid of meaning, so I’ll avoid making one. They don’t really sound like anyone; the term “neo-psychedelic” came to mind at the show, but that doesn’t really apply. While Miranda Sex Garden and E.N. don’t exactly have similar musical tastes,

Falco! This guy’s stage act reminded me of Falco! Falco doesn’t toss anvils off the stage, though, and rumour held that this crew did. But they abstained from anvils this night, although toward the end AlIes!” some type of medium-sized pail was lobbed into the audience, which was promply hurled back at the stage, dettering any more of this activity. If it’s any indication, this was one of those concerts where six or seven hundred people stand still to absorb the aural and visual elements, rather than attempting to dance or mosh to the erratic and unpredictable beat. Only one person, near the back, was trying to move his body to the music; the crowd afforded plenty of room for his weird, trance-like jerking and swaying that lasted the entire show. This, however, bode well for-Imprint’s moshable five-foot-eight, I40 pound phatographer-

Throwing Belly with Velocity Girl Lee’s Palace, Toronto April Fool’s Day

I heurd the rea! Ramona sing Throwing Muses were always a little like Shredded Wheat, I think Frontwoman Kristin Hersh supplied what was “good for you,” while her sidekick and occasional songwriter Tanya Donnelly offered what “tasted good.” The aftermath ofthe duo’s splintering seems to have borne this theory out: how else to explain why Red Heaven (the last, Donnelly-less, Muses album) is such a stone drag, and why Star (the debut from Donnelly’s new band Belly) is such a sweet pop confection? But first- my forgotten favourite

Muses The opening slot at Belly’s Toronto show last month was filled by a fairly hot D.C. band called Velocity Girl. I was really looking forward to catching them, having played their wonderful 45 “My Forgotten Favourite” down to a scratchy hiss. But their set was a disappointment in almost every way. They showcased their rather shallow Sub Pop release C@ocetic, and their cutesy coyness quickly grew tiresome. And Sarah Shannon’s vocals, which are often angelic on record, were surprisingly strident and grating. The situation wasn’t helped by her irritating air of self-satisfaction. A few high points, but overall their set and album reveal Velocity Girl as little more than a singles band. In the Belly of the beast The first thing to be noted about Belly’s set was that it was loud, very loud. Who would have thought earplugs would be needed for a night of Tanya Donnelly’s sweet pop tunes? But the raft-

Someone deprogram her quickly. Although she had the enthusiasm of ten Runaways, this woman’s antics (rawk ‘n’ roll hand gestures, fist-pumping, and lip-smacking) were distracting, tacky and pretty annoying. Kind of funny, though, in a Reservoir Dogs torture-scene kind of way. Trust in me

Other than that, it was not a bad show, I guess. The uptempo songs-“Gepetto,” “Slow Dog” and “Feed the Tree”were the indubitable highlights; great off-kilter pop songs in the mode of “Not Too Soon,” one of the Throwing Muses’ best moments. The slow songs, unfortunately, all tended to sound the same after a while, just like they do on the record. And those of us hoping against hope for some hints of Donnelly’s past, like “Not Too Soon” or “Dragonhead,” were disappointed. But there was a nice encore in the

Thursday the 29th was to be a day of days. Plans were laid weeks in advance. Weather forecasters all recommended sunscreen as an adequate meal replacement. We (my good friend Conrad and 1) were a-headin’ for the big city and we were a-headin’ ear-iy in the mor-ning. Toronto was to become our own personal Ranch0 Relaxo; a city intent on catering to our every whimsical whim (under I9 bucks). To cap a day steeped in loafing decadence, dinner and a few libations would find us migrating toward the Phoenix, to settle ourselves among the throng there to see Sir Bob Geldof and the Happy Clubsters. Well, the best laid plans of mice and men are probably on the day before you think they are. Exit Conrad, enter Peter. Now that Bob Geldof has decided to lift the weight of the world off his gaunt, scrawny shoulders, concentrating instead on more lucrative, selfish pur&its (like music), he has become fodder on which slag artists thrive. How dare he have fun while millions starve? Who does he think he is anyway? He was put on this earth to think about what most of us choose not to and now he has decided to forsake that in favour of crafting meaningless euphony? Bastard. Sir Bob has a new band of merry men; a dappled trdrpe he calls the Happy Clubsters. Fans of the now sewered Boomtown Rats will recognize only one of these clubsters, namely Pete Briquette, on bass. Johnnie Fingers’ stage position has been replaced by a past Eurovision Song Contest contestantThose in attendance hoping to sweat to the oldies, were treated to only a couple familiar tunes (ie. “I Don’t Like Mondays”; “Rat Trap”) and the opening bars of “Banana Republic”. Upon leaving the venue, Pete astutely commented that was nice to attend a concert where the median age was not sixteen, testimony to perhaps why

people were there. Bob Geldofs musical life did not end with the Boomtown Rats, as some people would like to contest. Touring on the strength of his third solo album, Happy Club, he walked on stage at the Phoenix, intent on proving this statement correct. A man as accomplished as he could easily coast on his own reputation, and while he may be criticized for doing just that, I’d argue that at ‘least he does it quite well. A thoroughly enjoyable show, I’d assert that even staunch cynics left the building content. Kicking off about I0:30, with “The Great Song of Indifference”, three en-

cores later and the fast approaching bewitching hour of one left the crowd certain that Bob was anything but indifferent. Now I’m as cynical as the next guy, so when an artist comes on stage to say something like “You guys are the greatest,” I usually want to heave my havarti.

It’s not at all fatuous to have entitled this release The Old Testament, as the music and biography contained within reveals the first five years of the Stranglers career to be an event as filled as the good book itself. What’s more is that you can be assured that this “Old Testament” all happens to be true. Although this is just another box set among countless others, it is among the few that are faultless. By this I mean that every studio commercial release of the Stranglers by EMI I977-to- I982 era is included. You get the albums Rams Norvegicus, No More Heroes, Block

and White, The Raven, The Gospel According to the Meninblack, Lo folie, as welt as all of the singles and the b-sides that accompanied them. So you get the good, the bad, and “Ugly”. The first disc of the four CD set begins with the Stranglers playing belligerent little ditties like “Ugly”, “Sometimes”, and “Bring On the Nubiles”. These are delivered by Hugh Cornwell’s tnarled vocals and grating guitar with the occasional bellowed vocal by 1 Surnel and his distorted, but melodic, lass. In odd contrast to this are Dave *enfield’s relentless churning t gmmond organ and jet h

music press who called them by whatever degrading descriptions possible including “Nazi homosexual thugs”. The Stranglers have acknowledged their alienation by self-proclaiming themselves the “Lepers of Rock” and have even retaliated by kidnapping and punishingjournalists forgiving bad reviews! Unyielding, the Stranglers continue their ways with the second CD, which becomes rawer still at its conclusion (the end of the Blcrck crnd white album). At this point, the songs are occasionally dark and abrasive as they write of existence, fear and death ‘in the/songs “Threatened”, “In the Shadows” and “Death and Night and Blood” respectively. It’s not exactly light listening, ,but musically and lyrically it’s engaging. At this point, the Stranglers have taken the aggressive sound to its end and begin the third CD (The Raven LP) with an almost entirely re-thought sound. There isn’t very much shouting anymore, and the instruments have all been tamed to some degree+ The lyrical content also begins to concern politics and beings called the meninblack (not to be confused with Johnny Cash).. By far the strangest track written by the band to date, the “Meninblack” is an evil sounding synthesizer experiment concerning (some say human, some say alien) beings that have altered man’s development in the past. This particular track led the Stranglers into researching the meninblack and Christian religion which resulted in the album The Gospel According EO the Meninbkrck. It suggests that alien beings may be responsible for many biblical events, but is really a criticism of organized religion. Much of the music on The Gospel According To is experimental

psychedelia that can’t really be counted as a development of the band, but instead as more of a side project. Although it may not have made the Stranglers much money, it did give them the nickname “The Meninblack” which has stuck to this day. With the release of La Folie, the Stranglers change their interests from the esoteric to probably the most universal subject around by writing an album about love! Actually, it’s about how love doesn’t really exist, but is instead, something that is interpreted as being real by the perceptions people have. Although most people would find the ideas depressing, the album is melodic, energetic and positive without any lyrical or musical pretension. By this point in their career, the press have still not provided the Stranglers with much encouragement and the band have had some trying times including having all their equipment stolen, being imprisoned for supposedly inciting a riot, and existing for many months at the edge of bankruptcy. They finally had the opportunity for some revenge of sorts with the release of the gently waltzing single “Golden Brown” which nearly went number one in several European countries, however, no-one happened to realize that it was about heroin. 1 For those with more than a passing interest in the group, The Old Testament is a purchase to end any future purchases (although for completists there is a rarities CD and a few live recordings out there). The I I2 page biography included is a thorough and entemining read about a group that somehow overcame every obstacle thrown at them, The Stranglers exist to this day and

Coffey GoMen Surfing with a Butthole: he Imprint Interview

by Dave Imprint

Fisher stuff

lounging around his idyllic backyard on a warm and lazy spring mid-afternoon, veteran Butthole Surfers drummer Jeff “King” Coffey could well be the very model of serene contentment But it’s the day following David Koresh’s nationally-televised apocalypse and the proud Texan’s more than a little annoyed. “All these TV networks and USA Today, Associated Press-type news outfits keep showing maps of Waco in relation to Dallas but it’s just as close, if not closer, to Austin. So Austin’s getting the shaft again, and let’s face it, Austin’s got a far finer tradition of psychopaths than Dallas ever has. We had Charles Whitman who shot and killed eighteen people back in the sixties at the University of Texas (in the now infamous clocktower incident). That stood as a record for a long time until it was beaten, briefly, by the McDonalds massacre in San Diego, but the trophy’s back home (in near-by fileen) at Luby’s Cafeteria. So yeah, in Austin we feel pretty slighted about the whole thing. Of course, it was kind of tragic.” Not to mention perverse. But then Coffey’s Austin possesses as legitimate a claim to the title of America’s great freak capital as any. As the homeof Roky Eri kson and the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, it’s the birthplace of psyc hadelic rock; and Richard Linklatter’s definitive cultfilm Slclcker seems nothing less than a cellife beyond the Hugh Beaumont ebratory outing of Austin’s all-embracing lunacy. Before Coffey gets too carried away on the topic of Austin however, he’s quick to point out Canada’s almost equally virtuous nature. “We played in Vancouver about five years ago and Gibby (Haynes, lead singer) got stabbed on-stage by some crazed female. It all happened o fast. We had to stop the show and Gibby was ken to hospital. We’d just played all over the hrld -- Europe, South America, Mexico -- and lere do we get stabbed? Canada. She just #bed Cibby and then ran out. Go figure.” ‘S-That’s almost as implausibe as figuring out ithole Sutfe,rs themselves. King Coffey the Surfers (featuring Maynes, guitarist Paul P,y, and bassist Jeff Pinkus) a decade ago after king his Fort Worth punk-band The Hugh . Jmont Experience. Since then the Surfers ha\ become one of the most notorious underground rock bands on the circuit and their appearance on the very first Lollapalooza tour proved to be one of Perry Farrell’s more inspired choices. Coffey recalls that inaugural experience. “On a personal level, the Lollapalooza tour for us was real fun. It was a piece of cake, kind of like the bonus payment you get for doing lots of years of hard touring work. All we had to do was show up at one o’clock and play a forty minute set and we were done. “It was pretty terrifying though because after playing for years in clubs the daytime made us feel pretty naked. In that respect it was kind of a drag because a lot of people tell us ‘We saw you play at Lollapalooza’, but really they’ve never in-fact seen the band. I suppose it’s not so bad that the emphasis was purely on music but we like to think of a Butthole Surfers performance as every bit a visual experience as an audio one, and without our films and lights it just wasn’t the same. “But, really, it was nice ofjane’s Addiction to ask us to be on the tour when they could well’ve

.with

Shower asked any number of other bands.” Any of whom, one might safely presume would gladly have traded obscurity for the chance to play daily in front of tens-of-thousands on sucla high-profile endeavour. Indeed, after having been underground for so manyyears,the Buttholes have just now released their first-ever major-label release, Independent Worm Saloon, on Capitol Records. If being on the same label as the Beatles and Pink Floyd doesn’t faze long-time listeners, then perhaps their new lead single will. Titled “Who Was In My Room Last Night?“, it sounds like a bizarre Ministry-meets-22 Top-hybrid that presents the Buttholes with the kind of breakthrough potential that industry observers had heretofore never anticipated. Weirder still, the new album’s production is credited to none-other-than Led Zeppelin’s )ohn Paul Jones. If it all seems an unusually abrupt change, Coffey remains almost equally as mystified. “For the first time in our life we wanted a producer because we had an actual budget. So we sent demo-tapes to a bunch of producers. Some were cool, some were definitely not cool, and it was kind of going nowhere really, when out of the blue we get a call from john Paul jones’s manager who said that he was interested in producing the record. 01 course, we were all mortified. “Apparently it’s Capitol Records standard practice to also send out tapes and our one caught Jones’s attention. He was actually the coolest, most downto-earth person we talked to, and 1think we really surprised each other. He suspected he Experience. might be dealing with a bunch of bizarre acid-eating Texas punk-rockers who were totally foolish, and we assumed at the same time that he was some burned-out seventies rock star. “As we got to know each other though, we found out that neither was the reality. In fact, as far as we’re both into unusual, weird music and also computer technology, we were shocked how much we had in common. Although, now that I think about it, we actually have. absolutely nothing in common. But we found him a really high-spirited guy and he found out we weren’t total assholes either, so it was fun.” Which, in ,a nutshell, tidily elucidates what the Butthole Surfers are all about in the first place -- making rock and roll and having a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Of course their particular style 01 humour isn’t always the inoffensive sort employed to irritatingly bland effect by the likes of, say, Ray Stevens or the Barenaked Ladies. Rather, their rdtier is an abstract in-yer-face attitude which many fans find both musically challenging and wildly entertaining. Others whg’re less than enchanted, sadly to say, will often hastily dismiss the Buttholes as simply over-age, unimaginative, juvenile morons with an obsessive anal-fixation to boot. For his part, King Coffey won’t deny any of it. But to those who find humour in golden showers and Waco infernoes, he evokes the same spirit as Frank Zlappa when he says ‘just revel in it”. Many of us are doing just that. As for bringing Worm S&on’s support tour to Toronto, the Buttholes commence their new tour in mid-June following Paul Leary’s gig producing the next Meat Puppets album, so later this summer’s a fairly solid bet. Until then, they respectfully ask ladies to refrain from bringing any “sharp, pointed, foreign objects.” Seems as though the Great White North gives even Butthole Surfers the jitters.

and bargain basement guitars required repeated tweaking to remain tuneful, Unfortunately the opening band’s egregious behaviour limited Polvo to an abbreviated set of only seven songs including “Vibracobra”, “Channel Changer”, and “KalgonlBend or Break”, from last year’s Car-Crane Street al bum, and “Lazy Comet” and “Gemini Cusp” off the new release on Merge, Toduy’s A&e lifestyles. Ironically they have a song on their new album entitled “Time Isn’t on My Side”, which they couldn’t get to. Chasing Polvo off the stage, flRE+lOSE launched into a set covering most of their fab new release Mr. Ma&inery Operator, including “Herded Into Pools”, “Rocket Sled/Fuel Tank”, and “Blaze”. “Song for the Lead Singer of R.E.M.” is still the best songs for eDFROMOHlO’s increasingly nasal voice. Despite performing on the first anniversary of the L.A. riots they didn’t do “4.29.92”, but Mike Watt did acknowledge the date before statiing into “Witness”. lie then called Polvo back on stage to sing 9 cover of Superchunk’s “Slackinotherfucker”. This was the cue for the thirtyish Indian gentleman, who had remained atop his chair pumping his fist in the air throughout the show, to take the stage and dive into the moshers. The’ two Polvo frontmen were hauled in with him. Security was non-existent and not necessary: until someone looses an eye

POLVO please flREHOSE with Polvo and Mystery Machine lee’s Mace, Toronto April 29, I993

by Graham Tanlinson Imprint staff Despite enjoying a good evening of music, I can’t stop thinking what might have been. Sonic Youth wannabees, Mystery Machine thought, being the first’(and lesser) of three bands on the line-up, that playing from IO:00 until quarter to twelve would be a great idea. The notion that one should always leave them wanting more was lost on these boys. I’d had enough of them after fifteen minutes. Polvo, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, followed Mystery Machine fc)r their first appearance in Toronto. They emerged and began tuning their guitars. Some impatient yobbo in the crowd squawked at this, to which guitarist Dave Bryiawski stepped forward with a shy grin “Don’t worry we’ll make it worth your while!“. They fired into a short set playing songs in fits and starts with melodies throughout They toyed with tempo changes but never lost the groove or the ed&e. Their weird guitar tunings bring Sonic Youth to mind and lead singer Ash Bowie sounds a little like Dinosaur Jr’s j Mascis. But this isn’t a band of imitation, but of innovation (across the nation?). Their collection of boffo antique

Drummer George Hurley was afforded an oppotunity to impress and go solo but it came out sounding like an outtake from M wing Pictures. Mike Wan’s strumming bas s sometimes stepped very close to John Entwistle and when someone in the crowd hooted an inane ?‘Rock’n’Roll” I had to wince. An interesting choice for one of their last numbers was a cover of the Butthole Surfers “Revolution”, with it’s chanting of “Gary Shandling! Gary Shandling! Gary Shandling!“. fIREHOSE reinforced their position as the road warriors but it was Polvo who caught my interest with their unfiltered energy, frankness, and enthusiasm. fIREHOSE rocked but it’s hard to stay fresh on your twenty-first tour. Next time I’ll take a double helping of Polvo. Hold the Mystery Meat.

Proposal

Directed by Adrian Lyne by Paul Imprint

Cocker stczL

Ever since Indecent ffoposol came out, almost every radio and television talk show has marketed off it by asking their

lis-

teners and viewers the same thought-provoking question:

Can money buy

everything? Paramount Pictures slams moralsversus-temptation into high gear in this flick. They also had 9 II2 Weeks and Futul Attraction director Adrian Lyne handle it. And like the predecessors his newest movie the sam but with an added twist. mix ritz with glitz. Indecent Proposal seems to hold the perfect couple. (Woody Harrelson), were once high school sweethearts. Now she’s a real estate agent and he’s an architect; she sells homes while he drafts them. Some would call this a conflict of interests, but, others would call this a match made in heaven. It is Eros through complementary opposites. Life for Diana and David (or D and D) couldn’t be better. Sure David is a sloven person--he leaves his dirty clothes lying on the furniture and he eats peanut butter and banana sandwithes topped with honey--but he’s a good, honest husband, Diana loves him for being just that The two are a dream couple. There’s only one problem with this couple, however. The couple’s lives have financially fallen in the toilet.

-------__-_-

David loses his job because of the recession and Diana has troubles selling homes because of the lack of buyers. Their dream couple image is apparently washing away. Suddenly Dave comes up with a great idea. lie begs his dad for five grand and takes Diana to Vegas, hoping to score big. And he does. He turns his five grand into twentyfive grand at the tables. The two celebrate by making love on a bed of cash in their hotel room. Some people are just born lucky. Unfortunately D and D’s luck runs out the next day and they Iose it

posal: He will pay the couple $I million. In return,

sounds like a sure thing, even the most hopeless gambler can’t lose. Or can he? Dave phones his lawyer-friend (Oliver platt) to tell him the entire incident; by morning the lawyer is making the proposal an official contract

Before you can say “Swiss bank account”, Diana and john are off to wine, dine and do the dirty deed. That’s when David begins to think that maybe the entire thing is one big fiasco. And it wus. Diana soon admits that she enjoyed sex with John and Dave leaves her so she can live the good life. Indecent Proposul is one of those movies that is odd to assess. As a story, it is an embarrassment. The motion picture is strongly reminiscent of Haneymoon in Vegus, but with a little bit of The Great Gutsby thrown into it. It tries to be a syrupy fove story showing the things money can and can’t buy. Unfortunately its love is slightly stirred with aversion. Sure the movie has a happy, superficially cornball ending, but while the two main male characters come off as nice guys, Diana comes off as being merely nice goods. Indecent froposul moves from being sexy to being sexist. Apparently, the cast is strong and steadfast: Redford is grand, his sly charisma is rich and cunning; Moore is loving and
