In an act of demonstration against food services, University of Waterloo village residence dwellers boycotted their cafeterias yesterday. Rising out of confusion over food services’ Value Plus meal plan refunds, the boycott was organized to demonstrate the extent of poor communication over the matter. Villagers were concerned that they will not be able to receive the refunds they expected from the Value Plus meal plans they purchased at the beginning of the fall term. Having bought into the required plan, the villagers expected the possibility of regaining up to $200 at the end of the term. They have recently realized, however, that this is not the case. The source of confusion is the Value Plus meal plan brochure which they were given in September. Interpreting the brochure to mean that they would receive refunds for all money not spent, up to the required $995, villagers were surprised to learn otherwise. In reality, the plan is organized to handle two separate accounts, one to spend off-campus and one to spend on campus. Depend@ on which off three available plans they purchased, villagers had $955 to spend on campus and up to ‘$400 dollars to spend off campus. At the end of term only the money left in the “off-campus” account may be refunded, leaving the $995 “on-campus” account non-refundable. The brochure distributed, however, confused students regarding the availability of account refunds+ reading: “extra money above the minimum plan of $995 remaining in your account at the end of term may be refunded to you.” Unaware of the two-account nature of the plan, students interpreted this to mean that any money not spent under $995 may be refunded, regardless of where it was spent.

Going against the current trend of cutting programs in Canadian universities, the University of Western Ontario has decided to keep its school of journalism. The board of governors at UWO overturned an earlier decision made by the senate and decided to save the program, the vote being I3 to I2 in favour of the board. The decision rejects the views of school president George Pedersen and senior administrators who supported the

the

Services director Mark Murdoch, this is not the case. Murdoch said that the two accounts are not interchangeable and only the off-campus account is refundable. For example, if a student were to purchase the $1250 plan, they would have $995 dollars to spend on campus, $200 to spend off campus, and $50 bonus money also for off campus spending. If the student were to spend $700 on campus and $100 off campus, they would be eligible for only $100 refund, not the remaining $395 if both accounts were combined. According to village one head don Phil White, this is the source of confusion.

“People didn’t realize that if they spent $200 off campus, they wouldn’t get their money back,” he said. of all the people involved, everyone agrees that poor communication lies at the root of the problem. Although Murdoch stands by his brochure, he is concerned with the problems that have arose. “We [food services] are concerned about the [poor] communication that took place and we’re trying to rectify it,” said Murdoch, who will be meeting with representatives from the Village Council on Monday to work out a solution. While searching for an agreement that will satisfy all parties, Murdoch

Students mugged on campus by Gillian O’Hagan Imprint stun The University of Waterloo has been hit with a rash of muggings by knife wielding thieves. The UW Police and Waterloo Regional Police are investigating eight incidents of robbery involving university students that occurred last week on and near UW campus, In each incident the victims were approached by two males who confronted them with a large knife, and demanded their money. As of yet, the victims have only been robbed for small amounts of money and no one has been hurt in the attacks. Police are hoping to catch the thieves before any injury occurs. The incidents occurred at the east end of UW campus near the University Plaza in Parking lot “A” and Parking lot “8”, and on the roadway to the Weaver Arms at the Co-op Residences. The robberies started happen-

ing last week on Tuesday October 26. Two additional robberies took place on Wednesday 27 and five more occurred on the evening of Friday 29. Seven out of the eight armed robberies, which occurred somewhere between 6~00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., were on males walking alone. The eighth incident involved a male and female student walking together. Based on the fact that all eight of the victims gave matching descriptions of the suspects, police judge the eight attacks are related. All of the victims of the crimes are of Asian descent, largely of Chinese origin, which is part of the reason police feel confident victims could specifically describe the suspects as Vietnamese. “They (the victims) would have a very specific idea of which country they (the suspects) were from. I know it was directed towards them that it was racist to say that but in my opinion common sense dictates. The reality is that the people providing

the information were Asian themselves and felt quite comfortable that they were accurate,” said Waterloo Regional Police Staff sergeant Doug Lawrence. A UW Police Bulletin, posted across campus, gave a detailed description of the suspects describing the first suspect as: male Vietnamese, who spoke good English, I 7-22 years, approximately 5’5” tall, approximately 120 Ibs., dark hair and wearing dark clothes. The second suspect is described as male Vietnamese, approximately 17-22 years, similar height and build as the first suspect and also wearing dark clothes. Police are cautioning students to avoid walking alone and use the university security services available such as “Walksafe”8:OO p.m.- 2:00 p.m, or the “Safety Van”- 5:45 p.m. - I :00 a.m. Anyone with information on the crimes should contact Waterloo Regional Police, or UW Police, 888-491 I.

said that a one-time refund of the disputed amounts is “a possibilig.” “It is very important to us to make sure that people perceive that they have got their value from their plan,” he said. While yesterday’s boycott was planned to send a “quantifiable” message to Murdoch about the extent of student discontent, it was not intended to express dissatisfaction with the plans themselves, just the poor communication over refunds, said White. Imprint was not able to discern the success of the boycott before going to press yesterday morning.

The most notable victims of these current cutbacks have been the dance program at the University of Waterloo, the forestry program at University of Toronto, and the drastic reduction of staff and courses in York University’s creative writing program. “Dalhousie is among the first of Canadian universities to undertake measures such as these,” said Dalhousie president Howard Clark in the UW Gazette. Dalhousie university has targeted five programs for closure in an effort to avoid a projected $16 million deficit The university president said that individual faculties must devote more effort to revenue generation. This will require individual faculties to find sources of revenue outside the academic freedom of the university.

Sustainable development topic at workshop Tasha

A workshop on sustainability in the Hudson Bay- James Bay Region was held last Friday her at UW. The workshop brought together a variety of people who have been involved in differentaspects ofsustainability and growth in the reg& over the years. Sustainable development is not just a catch phrase, said Lewis Eguren, Grand Council of the Crees, Montreal. He refered to a United Nations definition of sustainability: “[Sustainability] ensures that the needs of the present generations are met without threatening the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.” To meet these needs, we must gather information about the way a system works. In the case of the Hudson Bay - James Bay Region, the indigenous people possess the key to vital traditional knowledge, said Eguren. Unfortunately, with the development of the region, this knowledge is not being recognized, and worse, the indigenous people are being expropriated. “We are all caught up in biodiversity... what about human diversity?” asked Ed Weick, an economistand consultant from Ottawa. This question set the tone for an important discussion about Harvester Income Support Programs (HISPS). HISPS is a program that has been started in different aboriginal communities to subsidize their way of life. “[The program] helps people put their communities together,” said Weick, stressing that the program was not welfare and that the aboriginals did not get money for nothing, Hunting is the dominant economy in the North, and community members

know no other way of life, continued Weick. HISPS subsidizes the cost of hunting. Aboriginals do not know how to prepare supermarket food and consequently, with the reduction of their tradition hunting society, there are various other problems. The estimated cost of this program is between $ IO and $30 million per year. Although this may seem unaffordable at first, it eliminates many other costs, explained Weick. HISPS creates a more healthful society, and thus avoid exuberant health costs, he said. It also reduces the need for social workers in aboriginal communities because the community members are comfortable with their way of life. “[HISPS] are doing something real for these communities,” and savingtaxpayers money in the long term, Weick said. HISPS are a vital means of preserving the aboriginal communities in the Hudson Bay - James Bay Region. These communities are important in the complex issue of sustainability. When Eguren asked a Cree elder whattheythoughtaboutsustainability, he answered that it is a way of life, and a means of survival. The region’s habitat is being raped and destructed, articulated University of Waterloo biology professor Geof Power. Presently, the demand for energy in Ontario has not leveled off, but has decreased. This there is time for Ontario Hydro to develop a effective and sustainable project in the James Bay- Hudson Bay Region, added Stuart Sears of Ontario Hydra. The workshop was hosted by the Heritage Resource Center here at UW.

Racism by Greg

workshop focused ftm hate groups

Over 50 people attended a teachin on rascism and hate groups at the University of Waterioo’s Conrad Grebel College on the evening of October 27. Three speakers spoke of their experiences with hategroups including the Heritage Front and the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK). They stressed the fact that racists are an active and threatening presence in present-day Canadian society, and that Kitchener Waterloo is no exception. All three speakers addressed the seriousness of these hate groups and the impact that their structures have upon the public. The guest speakers maintained that if people can not eliminate hate groups, which are the most obvious form of racism, more subtle forms will be an even greater task to deal with. “Racists are, in fact, the people around us in our community,” said Rodney Bobbywash, former race relations coordinator for the Toronto Native Canadian Centre. People need to “start to ac knowledge that this society is based on racist principles,” and that “the way we approach racism and hate mongers becomes different when we realize this,” 80 bbywash asserted. He continued, saying that this society is not fully recognized as being built on 500 years of racist and colonial traditions, “We are dealing with the symptoms of a disease (racism) and not the disease itself,” explained Bobbiwash. He affirmed, however, that “we can empower oursetves” if people “don’t walk by with dosed eyes, [and start to] confront and address the issue and take community action.” Before racism can be dealt with, society needs to become familiar with who racists are, he continued. He asked his audience, that when

Speaking from his experience as an Ojibway Native, Bobbiwash addressed people’s tendency of not applying to themselves what they preach to others; ‘7 fyou can’t work in your own backyard, you can’t come into my house and clean it up.” He concluded by saying that “the only effective defence is toerance... that the only effective way to combat hate is love.” The second speaker, 20 year old Owen Collins, reiated the importance of cre- Owen Collins speaks his piece ating a climate where there is zero groups across Canada. tolerance for racism.

Have you ever been hungry and not had any money to buy food? Hunger is a word associated with less developed countries, but for some students on this campus finding money for groceries each week is a real problem. How needy are the students on this cam* pus? It’s hard to say because admitting to hunger is not something most people will readily do. However, in I992 the Student Awards & Assistance ofice gave out I300 emergency student loans within the University of Waterloo. That number translates to 8% of UWs student population.

to come up with this idea. For instance, did you know that the Universities of Victoria, Toronto and Western Ontario have their own student food bank. The University of Manitoba has an excellent program in place with their student food bank. It is located in the Student Awards & Assistance ofice. When students come to apply for emergency loans, they can take food from a closet in the office. Food is collected by student societies at events~and from the community at large allowing both the student body and students in need to benefit. It’s a win-win situation. What are your feelings about setting up a student food bank on campus? Are you in support of this idea? The Social Issues Board would like to receive your comments. Please visit the Federation office (Campus Centre 235) and leave a message in the mailbox marked Social Issues Board (SIB) or phone the Social Issues Board at ext. 6305.

Proposed Athletic fee increase withdrawn by Claudia

special

Ecsedi

to Imprint

The proposal put forth on September 2, I993 by UW Athletics for an additional fee levy to be integrated into the Student Athletic Fee has recently been withdrawn. “The Pro&t’s Advisory Committee felt it inappropriate to levy an additional fee after the referendum for the Student Co-ordinate Plan has been passed,” said UW Federation of Students president Catherine Coleman. Undergraduate students will continue to pay the existing $33.50 per term Athletic fee. Graduate students continue to PY $22.33 per term. Earlier this year the Department of Athletic’s recommended increasing funding to the athletic fee through a special fee levy. The levy would have been used for the following purposes: to operate the new recreational and dressing room complex on the north campus; to provide supervision fur the weight rooms and-instruction necessary for the safe use of those rooms; to assign a week-end supervisor to oversee the operation of all the facilities on week-ends when those facilities are operated by student part-time equipment centre staff. The addition to the athletic fee necessary to accomplish these items was $5.50 per term for undergrads and $3.67 for grads. In the first full year of operation the above fee would have generated an additional $ I 78 000 to $ I 8 I 000 for the general interuniversity athletics budget Cut-

rently the general and interuniversity budget receives 90% of its income from the student athletic fee. The rest of the income is earned from arena rentals, conference fees, locker fees, admission to events and play-off revenues, alumni donations, and clinics. The proposal also stated that the present athletic fee and the additional fee requested would benefit students with: utilization of ill the athletic faciliti&; access to dll events, both interuniversity and campus recreation, through the seasons pass received upon registration and automatic campus recreation membership; on campus student employment in many part-time fobs, and also through jobs under the co-operative education program; safe envifonmerits for physical recreation through trainingofparticipants and staff, supervision of programs and facilities safety audits and inspections of facilities. UW’s Campus Co-ordinate Plan states that funds received from student fees would not have been used to cover operating costs for the new facility, but to pay the capital expenses. The university is also using the annual estimated $47 000, formerly processed through the budget for Seagrams Stadium rental costs, as the basis for calculating an oper;lting subsidy for staff and related operational costs for the new facility. At the time of their original proposal, the Athletits Department was unaware of the $47 000 available in its budget,

and recyclable materials, and increase product stewardship. Further suggestions were made have the region-wide Blue Box Collection Program continuing. and have a thorough-study be conducted to determine ways to cut costs and increase revenues, including reduced collection frequency (bi-weekly), more efficient collection and processing methods, and improved marketing arrangements. These included the use of recycling depots, in place of curbside collection in less densely populated areas, and user fees would also be part of the study. The report also suggests that the Waterloo Region and the area municipalities should work together to add new materials to the Blue Box Program where stable markets exist and where it is cost effective to do so. These recommendations are expected to be implemented over the next six years, and Regional Council’s approval of the Waste Reduction Master Plan is expected in early 1994. Public meetings have been set up throughout the month of November to allow public comment to be made about this draft proposal of the plan. If you wish to find out more about the plan, a copy of the draft proposal is on reserve at the Dana Porter Library, or if you wish to have your positive or negative comments heat-d, the community meeting for the area of Waterloo is at 7100 p.m. on Monday November 22 at the city of Waterloo Council Chambers IO0 Regina St S. 3rd floor.

In response to goals set by the Pro lvince for a 50 per cent reduction of waste entering Ian&ills by the year 2000, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo has proposed a waste reduction master plan which is designed to meet this purpose. There were eigh;guidingprinciples that were followed during the design period of the plan. These principles included materials that were traditionally considered as wastes as resources; shifting businesses and citizens away from a throwaway to a conserving society; encouraging wise use of energy and natural resources; and focusing on the 3Rs reduction, reuse and recycling in that priority order. There are 28 recommendations outlined in the report that specifically target individual, community and business action. Some of the highlighted recommendations include increased 3R information to residents and businesses, promotion of grasscycling and cornposting, as well as, support for community-based 3R’s initiatives. Other retommendations included continued support for blue box recycling and leaf composting, investigation of direct user pay for municipal garbage collection and assistance for businesses to comply with 3 R’s regulations. Anc#er aspects of the plan included regional encouragement to help stimulate legislation changes to reduce packaging, develop markets for reusable

surrounding

Bryson scenario arouse last week the issue of representa-

tion. As reported by the major media outlets, Bloc Quebecois leader Lucien Bouchard announced that his patty would demand one billion dollars in reperation from the federal Liberal government if it fulfilled its campaign promise of cancelling the $4.8 billion helicopter contract made by the previous government Bouchard’s reasoning is that Quebec stands to lose that amount in business if the,

deal is quashed and therefore the Liberals owe it to them. The Bloc is also demanding that similar cuts be made across the country to equalize the financial loses between the provinces. The problem with this situation is not 50 much that the Bloc are being greedy little cry-babies (whah - mom won’t give me the candy dad said I could have!!), but that a major federal party has denied the government it5 right to make decisions for the entire nation&ate. l-low can a party elected to the Canadian parliament make demands which are simply self-serving and detrimental to the entire nation-state. (And I say nation-state only to differentiate between the Quebec nation and the Canadian nation). Certainly the Bloc, being elected solely from within the borders of Quebec, can claim to represent only Quebec, but that claim cannot go 50 far as to deny the federal government its right to represent the entire nation-state - including Quebec. The situation is even more ironic because the Bloc Qucbecois cannot even really claim to represent the interest of Quebec simply because they did not gain the majoricy of the popular vote in that province. In other words, more people voted againrt the Bloc than for them. So how do they manage to claim to represent Quebec? Well, the same way the Liberal government represents Canada, through a parliamentary system which allows for candidates to gain seats without holding the majority of votes in their ridings. So, with the Bloc’s grip on the Quebec electorate

as shaky as the Liberal’s grip on

the Canadian electorate, it is hardly their place to demand anything from the rest of the country. Simply put, neither the Bloc nor the Liberals really represent anybody and as such should not be charged with that effect everybody. The problem with our representative democracy, as I’ve said before, is that we spend great amount5 of time choosing ‘who witI represent us and end up without any real representation anywhere, The sooner people. realize this the sooner the country till move towards a fairer and more

makirlq decisions

democratic system of government, which empower5 the people to make decisions for themselves. In the end, however, it may be the Bloc Quebecois which inadvertently does more for parliamentary reform in Canada than the party which ran on that exact platform - Reform. By forcing us to think about which decisions the federal government can or cannot legitimately make for the entire country, the Bloc is undermining the entire system. But that is their mission, t suppose. They want to pull apart the country and forge a new future for Quebec. By doing so, however, they are also forcing Canada to change a5 well, which we can use to our advantage or to our detriment. 50 Iets overhaul

the system and make sure we are

rode the 27 million. By the time this article comes to print, Canada will have a new Prime Minister, its third for 1993. Our newest PM, the one we’ll have for the next 5 years hopefully, comes with 30 years political experience and lots of friends, riding the wave of populism and integrity. Fixing the country will be no easy task, to say the least. AII appearances are that things are worse than they were originally thought to have been, and Canada is in worse shape after the Tories than it was 9 years ago when we said goodbye to those very same Liberals. Even greater is the challenge for the Liberals to approach their task with competence.

grounds

Incompetence is the word very much at the tip of peoples tongues when analyzing the campaign. One need look no further than the farce of Kim Campbell’s campaign: no, jobs until the turn of the century; social programs are too big an issue to be discussed; the bogeyman talks out of the side of his mouth, etc. - it took a whole squad of chefs to cook up that mess. For me, the travesty came to a head dealing with the challenge of registering to vote on election day, and then finding my polling station, I was sent to four different stations, and ended up casting the ballot across the street from where my roommate was supposed to go. There were three polling stations 250 metres from one another, maximizing bureaucratic confusion. At one of them I overheard one of the clerks whispering something about how peopie’s names weren’t being crossed off the list, so that hypoth&a~~ they could be voting twice. Where do these people come from? And where were the UN observation teams? But Tory incompetence stretched further back than just the campaign. Last week I interviewed Dave Coutts, a Toronto businessman

product was not manufactured in North America. When he tried to elicit support from the aforementioned ministry, they told him that there was nothing they could do. He appealed the dispute himself, and two years later received a favourable ruling from U.S. Customs. He wrote a “thanks for nothing” letter to the ministry and asked for compensation; two weeks later he received a letter from U.S. Customs saying that the favourable ruling had been overturned. In researching this sudden decision through the US Freedom of Information Act, Coutts received letters that indicate there was a move initiated by the ministry which exerted its influence to cover-

up what might have been an embarrassment to themselves and the minister; this in turn cost Coutts his business, and cost Canada jobs and revenue. Coutts followed up by initiating a one-man campaign against the former Tory government posting his “Tory free traders are liars and doublecrossers: your future could be next” posters in Toronto and Ottawa. The future has turned out differently, however, and during the campaign Coutts had a chance to talk to Jean Chrhtien. He later received a letter thanking him for his ideas. Coutts plans to hold Chr&tiFn to his campaign promises of integrity and to seek justice in his case. Don Campbelt has since been appointed ambassador to Japan, so for the time being he’s managed to avoid the Tory parliamenticide, but Coutts hopes that this kind of political incompetency will still be made accountable for itself and politicians will no longer be able to use their power to manipulate people’s livelihoods in selfserving

ways.

What Canadians should be doing now is paying close attention to the next wave of politicos that wilt be shaping Canada’s future policy.

This weeks Globe and Mail and the most recent two issues of MclcLean’s are abuzz with speculations of which experts from his 30 year political life Chr&ien will select to surround himself with. The early indications

are:

1. Powerful: “There are 25 people in the world who can change things - and I know 20 of them,” says Paul Martin, Montrhal MP (quoted, Madean’s I I /8/93). 2. Seclusion or elitism: “‘Doors that were open during the campaign have slammed shut’said one senior Liberal who played a significant role in the election but now feels excluded from the charmed circle. ‘Some of us are hoping that this extraordinary sensitivity won’t evolve into the same paranoia of the old Liberals.“’ (quoted Madean’s I t/8/93). Incidentally, there will be 20 I new MPs in parliament in this session who will not have any experience who will surely be delegated to the backbenchers. They may become a formidable force if they are squeezed out by more experienced political bullies.

3. Organizational incestuousness: regarding influential businessman Paul Desmarais who, according to Madean’s magazine, was friends with Prime Ministers Pearson, Trudeau, Mulroney, and now ChrCtien - “the daughter of (Chr6tien) is married to Paul Desmarais’ son.” All these pointers remind me of the Chinese concept of guanxi, or relationships, which say that the more healthy relationships you have, the more influential you become.

This system, unfor-

tunately, lends itself easily to corruption, which is inescapable no matter what government you’re in. Inevitabty, the concept of political accountability will probably never be incorporated into any government that doesn’t want to shoot itself in the foot. Here’s hoping that this government will be different, but I’m not going to bet my OSAP on it The job for us now, is to be aware of what the people we elected are doing and not allow incompetence to be sidetracked like some kind of Avrew Arrow project that Saul= mighty, but will never be seen.

Clayoquot writers respond to Cooper l To the editor= We would like to take this time to respond to a letter written by John Copper, published Oct. 25. This letter is being written to clarify a few of the concepts that Mr. Cooper addresses in his letter titled “Last Exitto Clayoquot”. First of all, it is a common known fact that British Columbia has been rapidly liquidating the most productive temperate rainforests in North America. Currently, there is less than 40% left At the rate they are togging Forestry Canada states that there will be no old-growth forests left in I5 years. Secondly, we were troubled by the accusations that protesters were getting paid. For the sake of our readers we would appreciate it if you would divulge your sources. According to Friends of Clayoquot, the nonprofit organization were organized the blockades, no protesters were paid. Concerning Mr. Cooper’s final point, “forestry creates jobs for university students and graduates, and researchers and other Canadians”, we were wondering if you were sayingthat it is OK for the forest industry to clearcut even more of B.C.‘s o td growth forest even though 64% of Vancouver Island’s are already gone? Especially when it is the largest temperate rainforest left in North America? Especially since 20 years ago temperate rainforest ecosystems had not even been studied? And since that time, not much of them has been? Furthermore, the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers Union of Canada states that, “We don’t have to chose between jobs and trees. If our forest industry was managed property, we would have plenty of both.” They also feel that, “there is a crisis in the forests, the forest companies want us to think we must choose either between jobs and trees? Our last comment on your letter john, deals with the concept of making informed decisions. By stating that it is a crime to go anywhere in a motorized vehicle, or read a magazine, we feel you have an eschewed notion of environmentalism. Do you think environmentalists should go back to living in caves? In reality, we cannot avoid impacting on the earth. As a result, environmentalism is a process of making informed decisions about your actions so as to step lighter on the planet. If you are going to point out the fact that environmentalists used motorized vehicles, we would Ii ke to say a few words. Having been to the blockades, we know that a great number of

either hitch-hiked or, as you stated, drove their “run down

protesters

vans”. By doing that they not only car pooled,(which cut down on the number of vehicles being driven to the sound) but they also adhered to the 4 R’s The vans they drove were old ones, which were being REUSED and REPAIRED. InaBritishColumbiastudypublished in “Forest Planning Canada”, 84% of B.C. residents support the preservation of Ctayoquot Sound.

Bryson Illogical To the editor: This term I’m taking Phil2OOJ, Intentional Logic. My first question was, “What’s Unintentional logic?” Now that I’ve read last week’s Metaphysical Education column, I understand. Bryson reaches the right conclusion completely byaccident. His togic is atrocious. I’ll skitter through the first half of the column, I have no real complaints with it, for the most part t agree completely. People who use IV Guide to schedule their time deserve the fate they choose. My beef concerns the socalled enforced passivity of TV media versus the apparently inherent passivity of print media. What a crock Bryson states that when using VCR to tape broadcast shows, the viewer is required to sit and watch while the show unfolds. He remarks that this form of enforced passivity negates the control the viewer has gained by taping the show, rather than watching the original broadeast. Bryson notes that printed matter in general is superior as the reader can stop and start at will, review passages at leisure, etc; that basically the reader has complete control of the information flow. Now, I don’t know if Bryson has kept up with current technology, but most VCR remote controls atlow the viewer to stop and start at will, pause to grasp meaning, review

segments as often as possible, and just about everything he lists as a benefit of books. As for the passivity, does one not have to passively sit back and hold the book as the story unfolds? I’m more capable of doing something else while watching TV than I am while reading, to me this implies that reading enforces the greater passivity of the two. Moving on, Bryson feels that TV is somehow inferior because it is simply an electronic signal and requires a device, a television set, to manifest itself, and this intangibility somehow makes it inferior to printed matter, which is more substantial. The only benefit I can see between a book and a video tape, VCR and TV is portability. Almost att contemporary printed matter spends a chunkof its life as a computer file, requiring a computer and printer (and binding service, and so forth) to manifest itself. And really what we’re talking about here is the transformation of ideas, from the creator to the audience, in some form or another. A video tape records the ideas just as permanently as a book. And arguably, television transmits the idea more thoroughly using pictures, words and sound, while printed matter has only simple text.

but next time build the argument a little more carefully. Especially if you want the audience to keep on reading. Andy

Editor’s note: however unintentional my logic may have been, your logic is also flawed. Stating that books create passivity in readers because they are incapable of doing anything other than reading while reading, is to suggest a backward understanding of passivity. To be passive suggests a lack of activity, not a lack of capability to act. Sitting on a couch ogling a TV is passive; reading a book, however, involves activity, concentration, interpretation physical and mental involvement (more so than watching TV, anyways).

maligned by central Canadian

To the editor:

Yet I started this letter by saying that Bryson had reached the right conclusion, that printed matter is better for the mind that television. Both are simply a medium for transmission of ideas, how can one be better for the mind than the other? Because most of the concepts transmitted by television is pap. Sure, using a VCR allows you to review segments over and over, but when was the last time you really needed to? For the most part, television is anything but thought-provoking. Because programmes are expensive to produce they must cater to the lowest common denominator: children, morons, and the average american, Topics for books are far more wide-ranging, and generally superior in content. But overall, give me five episodes of NOVA over everything Stephen King has ever written. So, good conclusion, Mr. Bryson,

As a native Prince Edward Islander, it was with sadness and disappointment that I read your editorial on the planned bridge to P.E.I. No, it is not your viewpoint that saddens me, but rather your grasp of basic facts about Canadian history. In particular, I was jarred by your phrase “And while PEI may then feel more connected to Canada than at any time since signing up in I949....” I always thought New@nd/und “signed up” in I 949. In fact, P.E. I. joined confederation in I 873,76 years earlier. Not only that, P.E.I. is the “Cradle of Confederation,” the place where the first meeting about forming a confederation was held. With a factual error such as this, it is not much wonder that the extremities of the country feel the central part is out of touch. Angele

Tammy’s free to speak To the editor Karin Schnarr, I was disgusted and shocked by your letter regarding

Tammy Speers’ outrage at Catherine Coleman. Your letter was an unrubstantiated and virulent defence of the status quo and absolutely pathetic However, I’m glad you wrote it because it seems to typify majority

student opinion here at WV. You do have a good grasp of the pulse of our students’ ideologies. I have always believed in the free exchange of ideas and had become quite complacent about it But now, confronted with your article, a written representation of you who would supress someone’s legitimate need to be angry and make noise about it, I can no longer remain complacent IfTammy Spears is making you angry enough to write such a letter, you should recognize that that is an indication of some power behind what she is saying. Why are you afraid of that? If Catherine Coleman deviates from her mandate, if Tammy suspects she has a hidden agenda of some kind, then she damn well has a right to be angry. I stand in support of Tammy’s right, indeed obligation, to vent any opinion, conservatively enlightened or not, that she may have.

Village atheism a-okay

To the editor: I am responding to Craig Nickerson’s new column, “The Village Atheist” which premiered last week After seeing the Imprint’s of the first half of the term carrying not one, but two religious columns, I believe it is high time that another viewpoint be presented, such as that in “The Village Atheist” Indeed, why stop at just a column in the student newspaper? There are numerous religious groups on campus, why not an atheist club as well? It is high time that the student population embrace truth and reason, rather than dogma and superstition. tt is no other force than religion that has cornered seekers of truth and forced them into silence; in the words of the philosopher Camus: “Galileo who held a scientific truth of great importance abjured it with the grmtest of ease as soon as it endangered his life” (The Myth of Sisyphus)* For it is not the pillar of wisdom on which religion is based, but instead that of naivety. If something cannot be scientifically explained, then the obviars solution is to ship it over to this God person’s realm. When of course our science advances so as to explain these mysterious natural occurrences, such as the rising and setting of the sun,

religions are very weary to release these occurrences from God’s realm. For other than hijacking the field of morality, what positive things has religion done? Must the theist’s corner the markets of morality? Shall our morality be based on fear of this God person? Has our society still not come to terms with its mortality so we must invent a smiling, happy place for them to loiter once their Iives have come to an end? We must rid ourselves of this naive concept of God and the after life, but also we must avoid the methods used by the theists in the past, namely that of persecuting and burning the “heretics” at the stake, or by forcing them into the underground. Instead, we must bring them under the close scrutiny of reason, and expose their contradictions and falsities. I am very enthused by the appearance of “The Village Atheist*‘, and I hope it will challenge the Church, and I hope that Nickerson will not suffer the same fate as Shelly, who also tried to question the church during his brief stay at universiv.

find nothing insulting in being referred to as boys, men, guys, or males (They all mean the same thing!). If these women were portrayed as sluts, whores or tramps in the advertisement then changes would have been required. We understand that the authour is making an attempt to confront sexism (though somewhat feeble), but the problem lies deeper in the male psyche than just the stimulation of seeing naked women (and this is a natural phenomenon). The elimination of strip bars would not solve the problem of sexism in society. Censorship of existing views towards women in society would be less effective than the promotion of views of women as equals. It is unfortunate that people such as the author who most likely has not been exposed to the situation that he feels should be corrected has such strong words that have weak supporting arguments. It is up to the individual to be mature enough to repect these women for what they are....human beings. Once this respect is achieved, the author’s problem would be solved.

Many people who read this article shrugged their shoulders and laughed at the triviality of it all, but unlike most people, we felt that this article deserved clarification ofthe issues brought up by its author. Firstly, the author states that the Doll’s House is *‘an establishment that turns agood buck by exploitingwomen as commodities; bodies bought and sold.” The author is confused between the performance of a beautiful woman in a public bar and the performance of a woman picked up on a street corner for private pleasure (prostitution). Women at these establishments take pride in their chosen profession. Secondly, men should not be categorized as deprived, warped or unsatisfied. Categorizing people into specific groups is a root ofthe problem that the author is trying to confront (sexism, or racism in general). People who visit the Doll’s l-louse are just out to have a good time and to experience an alternative form of entertainment, We’re sure that a visit to the local movie theatre, dance club or a night at home watching TV is just as gratifying as going to visit a strip bar. We truly agree that as a society, continually degrading and demeaning the worth of women and other races, cultures, etc,..is intolerable. We are sure that the Doll’s House has no intention of demeaning their performers as it is the choice of these women

the propaganda being promoted by the environmental activists, over Clayoquot Sound. After reading John Cooper’s letter to the editor in the October 22 Imprint, I felt compelled to back his statements. Being an undergraduate in the Faculty of Environmental Studies, I am tired of being prejudged as a socalled *‘bleeding heart environmentalist”, when I am not. I am told time after time that I must be against the logging in British Columbia, when the fact of the matter is that I am not totally against the logging industry in British Columbia. Like John Cooper said, it is a tragedy that the old growth is being logged in the manner that it is. However it is also a tragedy for the economic lifeblood of a province to be cut off because the flavour of the day is to protest to save Clayoquot. I sayflavour of the day because I lived in British Columbia for my first two years of university, in fact I lived in the environmentalists paradise of Victoria. When I was there from I989- I99 I +the flavour of the day was the Carmmanah Valley and the Stein Valley. There were protesti as big if not bigger against the logging of these so-called last temperate stands of rainforest Now I don’t even hear a peep about saving those LAST surviving stands. John Cooper was correct in his estimation that only one side of the story was being told. I have never heard

Representation needs change To the editor: I would like to respond to several pam of Karin Schnarr’s letter in last week’s paper. First, Karin mentions our democratic system and her belief that it works. We do indeed elect people who make decisions for us, but I for one am not happy about it The people we elect are not any better at making decisions *an we are. In fact, the process by which they make decisions does not facilitate good decisions. Judging from history, I don’t think we should ‘*have faith” in our political leaders and let them do what they want just because other countries have worse systems of government than we do doesn’t mean that we should leave ours the way it is. Change is essential for a healthy society, and we should constantly strive to become better.

Attending classes is important, but I hope that’s not the only reason why we’re here. We’re learning about the world around us, and we’re learning that we need to change it. Some of us feel strong enough in what we believe that we protest. And not every protest is organized by a stereotypical “leftwing hippie organization.” One statement in Karin’s letter really gave me the willies: “the vast majority of students at the University of Waterloo ARE small and big c conservatives.” That’s a scary thought if it’s true, but I know a lot of people who don’t fit into that category. finally, the NDP government in Ontario can hardly be described as “leftist”. The (formerly) big three parties in Canada are very close on the political spectrum. There are at least several governments in other countries which are much more socialist-and they work quite well. Eventually governments around the world will realize that we’re not children any more and we can make decisions for ourselves. When that happens, we’ll all participate in decisions that affect us, and we’ll let other communities maketheir own decisions

lacking in our lives To the editor: Hello Ken Craig. I’m writing to tell you that I often find your submissions to the Religion and Faith column to be humorous and innocuous invertigations of life’s curious questions. Often, but not always. While I understand your desire to be a controversial and topical author, l fear that your submission last week betrayed the telltale signs of many a columnist’s affJiction. Medical Alert ........ .... Your head is swelling!!!! Personally, 1dbn*t care what you choose to write about. But please, pleeease try to write because you have list an important point to make. week’s foray into self-aggrandizement failed to offer us (uninformedlmisinformed masses) any real analysis of the place or value of strip shows in our society. Rather, it read more like a ‘here is one more reason why I’m right and everyone else is not only wrong but shamefully inferior because of it’ essay. Ken, why the anger against, a). Religious folk with morals that differ from your own, b). Women (and men) who view stripping ds a degrading manifestation of a patriarchal, capitalist system and are ‘politidized’ enough to say so and, (my personal favorite), c). Sensitive guys?????? The fact that a male might be caring enough to be bothered by many of the injustices with which we are each confronted on a daily basis does not make him as you state, “unable to hold opinions of his own.....afraid of offending people and being politically uncool..... and unsure of what he is supposed to say.” It is precisely your type of intellectual machismo that perpetuates the stupid gender split we now endure. You seem to feel that any man whb espouses a point of view that recognizes a female perspective is simply being a “teddy bear” and striving to impress the ladies. Sorry Ken, I’m not buying into your insensitivity. While your column may have inflated your sense of self-importance, it

has done nothingto increase your depth of vision. You are looking at the effects of strip clubs through the myopic lens of the reasonably intelligent, educated consumer. Funny, but you seemed to have overlooked a few of the other parties involved. I wonder what percentage of the dancers you profess to enjoy have gravitated towards this type of work due to low self-esteem and a Iongingforacceptance in whateverform it is available ? t-low many of these women have suffered physical, mental or sexual abuse that has served to engender within them a belief that this was the nature and limit of their worth? Although you may not wish to taint the harmless fun of your trips to the peelers by stopping to consider such unfortunate facts, this is neither an uncommon scenario nor the generalizing of an isolated incident The pervasiveness of the abuse of women in Canada is both shocking and inhumane. Sadly, statistics show that anywhere between 20-30% of women are sexually abused before they turn 18. I wonder if this abuse is in any way related to the portrayal of women as sex objects and commodities that is perpetuated by these same establishments! Don’t worry big guy, I’m not accusing you of incest/child-abuse/date rape/homophobia/sexism/misogyny. However, I do question if all of your fellow patrons are as educated and as well adjusted as you. What outlets do you suppose they are using tq purge the pent-up angst that s&h a visit might invest in them? What outlet do you choose? Hey, nothing against you personally, ok? I just disagree with your claim that this sort of degradation doesn’t preclude men from seeing women as whole and equal beings. Unfortunately, the men who frequentthsse establishments are affected in one of two ways. Either they accept their relationship to the performers as normal and are conditioned to see women as vessels for instant gratification and easy conquest, orthey manage to separate this fantasy world from their everyday existence and can distinguish between seduction and pet= formance. In each case, harm is done. In the first instance, unrealistic expectations are placed on other women in the lives of the patrons who expect them to stroke their ego’s and pander to their animalistic sexuality like the women on stage do. In the second

example, men who learn to separate the fantasy women from their wives, daughters and co-workers invariably, through the delineation %$f love-and lust, assign to the strippea,their darkest fantasies and to thei; loved ones their deepest affection. Unfortu,nately. this coopts the provision of complete satisfaction from his partner and soulmate and renders her incapable of truly fulfilling him. Perhaps we should stop trying to candy-coat our need to exorcize our basest desires and instead strive. to incorporatea little healthy lust into our moribund love lives. Our persistent division of women into sluts or innocents continues to preclude us from forging the complete relationships of which we are capable. Teach, don’t preach. jeff Zavitz

Only

fools are represented by representation To the editor= After reading Karin Schnarr’s response to Tammy Speers’ article (“Tammy fed up with Feds’!) I felt competted to share my excitment with her. 1, too, find it difficult to concieve how anyone could question our elected representativeti. Of course they represent us - we voted them in! Like Karin, I also think the Canadian democratic system is just great. Every elected representative I know tells me that the system works very And you can’t beat the well. convienience: with one tiny “x1’ my ideals, perspectives and values are represented for years! I thoroughly read Catherine Cpleman’s campaign poster, so I know she represents everything I stand for. Why waste time getting my hands mucky in issues that concern my life when I have the authority to take care of me? Like Karin, I, too, am tired of all these pinko flake-fest protests. I’ve got a job to worry about! Frankly, I’m sick of education getting in the way of my schooling. Besides, Tammy should recognize, as Karin points out, that in some countries “you get shot if you disagree.” She should realize how lucky she is that in Canada she con question authority. So just who does she think she is, going around questioning authority? Karin is right Tammy: “If you hate the Federation of Students so much, why do you not get involved in the organization instead of bitching about them...?” I know I have recently found myself bitching profusely about the ratist, patriarchial, white-supremist Heritage Front I suppose I should stop complaining about them burning houses down in Kitchener, issueing death threats and recruiting high school students, and join them, eh? I guess it’s a good thing, eh Karin, that those lefty, whining do-gooders aren’t actively complaining to the point where they drive the K/W Heritage Front and friends entirely out of existence. Karin makes agood pointTammy: if our repesentatives don’t promote public involvement in decision making, why don’t you organize involvement yourself? Do you honestly think that lacking money, time, support or energy are adequate excuses? Besides, I already voted; I thought I was done with my public involvement in decision making! You know Tammy, life could be SO easy if people didn’t complain all the time. We should stop worrying SO much.

world

of the

Yugoslavia

The guns keep firing, the bombs keep dropping, corpses lay in the smouldering ruins, a woman’s throat has been slit and two other have been shot in the head. This is terror at it’s worst in the once beautiful country of Yugoslavia. It has been almost two years but the bloody conflict and “ethnic cleansing“ continue to haunt the cities and countryside of Bosnia-Hercegovina, Serbia and Croatia. My point is not to choose sides but rather to tell you that I have never been more aware in my entire life of the situation which has befallen my close friends and their families. Even though they are thousands of miles away from their home land, they feel the frustrating pain that the war has caused. You might see what is going on as a largely irrelevant struggle in an obscure corner of the world. It is not. Two-hundred thousand people have died in this war (that would fill the skydome two or three times), towns have been gutted, and families have been torn apart or killed. With a country full of Orthodox Serbians, Roman Catholic Croatians and Slavic Muslims

the goal of “ethnic cleansing*’ to a large extent has been achieved through killings, beatings, rape, destruction of houses and threats. Every night on tv we watch the slaughtering of innocent men, women and children, the streets are full of blood and the inhumane conditions which have become a way of life for the people of the former Yugoslavia. As time goes on, the UN continue to drop food and survival supplies just as the Croats, Muslims or Serbs drop bombs on each other. This war is without rules, where the basic weapon is fear. More than I .6 million people have been driven out of their homes and thousands have been forced to reduce their shelters to caves. As the country continues to be locked in a political crisis the humanitary reasons for peace and order continue to surround the nation. For those who survive, nothing will ever erase the memories which have been forced into their minds.

“Say

GIVE METHAT OLDTIME RELIGION It is quite fashionable, nowadays, to criticize qhristian fundamentalists. Even amongst many professed Christians, fundamentalists are associated with right-wing fascists. The moderate Christian will go to great lengths to separate himself from the fanatic. The moderate Christian believes in god but doesn’t feel the need to go to church on Sundays, he probably works Sundays anyway. Sure, Exodus 20: IO qs “But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates,” but this can’t apply anymore. Isn’t it, after all, a little much to ask the modern Christian to drop out of secular society for one day in every seven? Sure, Christians used to endure crucifixion and being fed to lions for their beliefs, but it’s only &e command out of ten for christsakes! Besides, everyone knows that the Bible isn’t meant to be taken literally. I don’t know anyone who accepts the literal &uth of the Bible. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not complaining. If you do accept everything in the Bible as literal truth, then I don’t want to know iou. However, there is a certain honesty, a certain jtrength, which the fundamentalist possesses and which the moderate Christian lacks. Granted, it is the strength of blind acceptance and stubborn knorance, yet one knows that the fundamentalist has found religion. The fundamentalist’s goals and lifestyle are completely incompatible with. those of the secular world. The moderate Christian fits in all too well. The moderate Christian can easily shape god into his own image. If he is scientifically minded, he may accept the theory of evolution, he knows better than to accept the biblical account of a

world created in seven days. If he holds politicalfy correct views on multiculturalism, then he may feel that Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists have just as much hope for salvation as the Christian. If he is gay, then he might believe that the Christian god is one of pure love who would never consider homosexual love sinful. If he likes to watch women strip, then he might conclude that Jesus liked to watch women strip too. Choosing some and ignoring other parts of scripture is better than dining at Harvey’s; you create the god that you find the most palatable. Once the moderate Christian creates his own personalJesus, he can then justib Him by pointing out that there have been so many translations and interpretations of the Bible that it is hard to say what the Bible really means. Also jesus spoke in

parables. Also the Bible uses metaphor and blah, blah, blah. Christians go to great lengths to justify the more unsavory or clearly absurd aspects of the Bible, rather than admit that it is a piece of mean spirited nonsense. What we are left with is a literary Rorschach blot into which you project what you want to see, a far cry from the divinely inspired word of god. There is a good reason for this, if one were to take the Bible as the fundamentalist takes it, then one would end up with a truly vile and barbaric religion. Moderate Christians are far too delicate for this. If they ever encountered the god who wiped out the world with a flood, killed every first born son in Egypt, and turned Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt, they would, quite frankly, poop their pants. If you do not accept the Bible lock, stock and barrel, then on what grounds do you call yourself a Christian? If you do, then on what grounds do you call yourself human?

E. Rehtm

Europe was the scene of a conflict between religion and science, because the Church there had arbitrarily embraced certain theories and dogmas (inheriting them from Greece) and insisted that they were sacred and a Gospel truth. So when the theoretical and the empirical science demonstrated the error and fallacy of these theories, people there had no other course but to believe in science and disbelieve in the Church as well as in the religion these Churchmen stood for. The war between religion and science gained in intensity and the enthusiasm to get free from the dominance of these religious men increased as the Church in Europe conferred upon itself divine power and proceeded to enforce it in a most tyrannical manner. The torturing of scientists and burning them alive because they said, for instance, that the earth was round, was he ugliest of crimes committed by those Churchmen. These crimes made it a sacred duty of every sensible, free-thinking, and conscientious individual there to come forward and fight against this power of Churchmen. The goal of this fight was to either destroy this abominable power or at least put it in chains so as not to let it ever again harass and oppress people. But what about the Islamic world? Was there, at any time, a conflict between Islam and science? Is there even a single scientific fact which has been found to contradict Islam and Its basic creed? Were scientists ever subjected to persecution in the domain of Islam? The whole history of Islam is before us. It testifies that there have been great doctors, astronomers, mathematicians, physicists, as well as chemists but never were they persecuted for their views. There is no trace of any conflict between science and their religious beliefs to be

THERE IS NO REASON FOR MUSLIMS TO SEPARATE ISLAM FROM SCIENCE. Islam uses a very simple terminology. Its teachings are very easy to understand, perceive, and believe in. It invites humans to make use of the faculties given to them and try to acquire the fullest possible understanding of life surrounding them. Islam does NOT force humans to believe in silly stuff as a prior condition to their belief in GOD. Nor does It compel them to renounce their GOD so as to be able to admit of scientific facts. In fact, Islam holds knowledge and science as a part of faith. Why is not the Islamic world then leading others at the present time? This backwardness of the Islamic world is the product of more than 200 years of colonial exploitation by the ruthless European imperialists. More importantly, the Islam that we call upon our fellow-humans to adopt as their guide in life is NOT one and the same thing as that passed off under this name by the ‘Muslim’ dictators of today’s East.

gratification. These goddesses are worshipped not for their care and compassion, but for their, air-brushed bodily dimensions and how well they, perform “naughty” acts. I often wonder what the links are between religion, such as the one I was encuttured into, and, things such as sexual violence and pornography? For when I look around at the world I grew up ini I notice a lot of bizarre images of what a wornam is supposed to be. There is hardly a healthy female sexuality anywhere in Christianity. What we have is thei classic dichotomy of virgin and whore. The virgin’ is seen as holy and worthy of respect: a model for3 all good Catholic girls while the whore i3 someone(thing) you desire to possess only for a short time until your lust is satiated {which it! never is of course). Only the rare image, Iikd Bernini’s St. Theresa, shows a spiritual woman (d mystic) losing control, being ecstatic and quit; sensual. For most of us cultured “Catholics” th? division between whore and perpetual virgin i? never overcome, and so we have no reiigiouj model of a healthy female sexuality, and therefor fi don’t learn how to relate to a female’s sexuality at, all. I think for our own health and the safety oi the women in our society Catholics and screwed up Protestants should begin a process where wq start “dirtying” the image of the Virgin Mary; making her a more divine figure by making hen more sexual and more authentically a woman.

Although my mother would say we were brought up as Protestants, much that has influenced and affected me religiously comes from a European Catholic culture (especially Italian) that permeated through the neighbourhood I grew up in. Because us Protestants tend not to give much time to the Virgin Mary or any other semidivine female, I always had to search out popular Catholic expressions to fulfil my need for a female spiritual archetype. In this quest I found a really strange thing about Mary - she is presented as being completely non-sexual (it is kind of difficult to imagine one’s own mom enjoying “it”). The Virgin Mary in pop culture is either pictured in a warm blue outfit, exuding innocence and sexual naivete, or she is shown as the strong and caring mother, protector of her children, as she is with Jesus in Michelangelo’s most beautiful Pieta. Nowhere do we find the mother of Jesus, the Queen of Heaven, representing the sexual aspect of a woman. No, sex is too dirty for Mary or at least for the mind’s of those who venerate her holiness. Nonetheless it is not surprising to walk into a store in my neighbourhood and see pictures of the Virgin Mary placed side by side with the icons of the sex industry - Playboy, Hustler, and XXX movies. The women of this commercialized religion are represented as perpetually “getting off’ as if the heavens revolved around sexual

Modernity is up for grabs, according to Charles Taylor, professor of Political Science and Philosophy at McGill and widely seen as Canada’s most noted philosopher. He gave a series of well attended lectures at WLU on the Malaise of Modernity over October 26, 27, and 28. The question is: on what are we to base a self-ruling society in our late-modern (or post modern) age? Taylor gives us two options. The first is a society based on people as bearers of rights. This is essentially a society composed of atomistic and autonomous individuals who are free to pursue their own life plans. This thesis, the rule of right, makes the policy a common instrumentfor individuals; thegovernment is thus thrust into a position of ensuring (or trying to ensure) the rights of all - quot homines, quot sententiae. Yet, the difficulty of this approach is that it fails to take into accbunt the complexity of the

90210

moral universe. The rights-bearer concept owes a great debt to lmmanuel Kant, who taught in his Moral Categorical Imperative that we are free to pursue our own individuality as far as it goes as long as it does not infringe on the right of another to do the same. As good, and as popular, as this sentiment sounds, it does not capture reality. I may wish to live in such a manner, but it - by itself - does not allow for a communitarian approach as it denies the very basis for a community. A group of self interested atoms is not a community; it is a collection. The very heart of such a thesis is exctusionism. My only concern for the other, in such a society, would be a negative one. I would only be concerned with limiting my actions so as not to harm you. But why do I not harm you? Because I am taught that it is your right not to be harmed. 1have excluded the other to the extent that my only concern for the other is the other as a limitation of my sovereignty; or, conversely, as someone entitled to the same rights as I.

(McCrane). H ow can your life compete? In Canada, I2 of every 60 minutes of network air time is devoted to commercials. Yes, 20 percent of your viewing diet consists of a stitched together entree of 30 second long perfect worlds that beckon you to join them. Presently, the CRTC is applying to increase that percentage. Our exposure to TV culture is phenomenal. According to the 1992 Canadian Global Almanac, as of last year 99% of Canadian households owned a set. In 96.9% of households it was a colour TV, and in 71.4% it was hooked up to the local cable system. In fact, more residences owned teievisions than stoves, refrigerators or telephones. TV is the national daycare system. In fact, the average Canadian over the age of two spends 23.5 hours a week watching TV in their own home. Did you know that you were this affected? Increasingly, that joyous little box with which you continue to dance a love/hate tango has become a microcosm for the pace of our society. The television, like our world, operates as a 24-hour machine. Everything is happening at once, slotted in on a myriad of competing networks between which we jump in search of true satisfaction. Our dependence on the tube to ‘show us’ in lieu of firsthand experience has helped to facilitate our removal from the cyclical rhythms of nature and

Do you know how to watch TV? Pardon? I would venture to guess that there is not a soul amongst you who would claim to be media-illiterate. You may not know it, but your actions betray you. 1It is amazing to note jyst how ,many I people claim to ‘actively’ watch television. . The truth of the matter is that your eyes move less while staring at the set than during any other activity in which you regularly indulge (save for sleeping and climax). Alternatively, those who claim that they watch TV to relax seem blissfully unaware that while ‘television inhibits your ability to think, it does not lead to freedom of mind, relaxation or renewal. It leads to a more exhausted mind. You may have time out from prior obsessive thought patterns, blit that is as far as IV goes. The mind is never empty; the mind is filled. And what’s worse, it is filled with someone else’s obsessive thoughts and images’ (Mander). Television is a deity in North American cultural religion.

Philosophy

This principle is not reality-serving because it denies the existence of something deeper. Such a thesis could not be held unless there was a principte that allowed for it, and this thesis is communitarianism. Communitarianism allows for autonomous individuals to live as they might, but also acknowledges that members of society have a common interest that is beyond that of self serving individuality. Even if the commonality is merely an acceptance of the rule of right, communitarianism goes further in explaining reality than the rule of right ever could, for the rule of right does not contain within itself the necesInstead of pretending sity for respecting the communitarianism other’s right to freedom. exclusionarism. This right must come from outside the rule of right - from perhaps a humanitarian principle, or a Christian principle, or from some other communitarian principle. Kant, for all his genius, failed to see this. As Taylor points out, this reduces the rule of right to a thesis that becomes rather arbitrary. Why should the rule of right necessarily correspond to the good? Not all societies hold the same notion of the good. The rule of right thus is even more exclusionary - the good becomes the good of the enlightenment model, the rational pursuit of happiness. But the rule of right offers no more proof for this than a And let it be thus! The rule of right, though, is a tenet of our society, and Taylor argues for its validity, up to a point. The fault lies in accepting that this thesis is the thesis that holds our society together. Any one of the many disenfranchised, and unreconcilable, groups within our very society show the poverty of such thinking. The rule of right, in fact, see& to disunite us.

Coming next week:

At the OWIAA Western Regional tournament hosted by Waterloo last Saturday, the Athena squash team capitalized on their home-court advantage by finishing first overall. When the dust had settled, Waterloo had won seven of a possible ten matches, McMaster six and Western two. Each team fietds six players with the scores from the top five counted towards the overall league standings. Each match is a best of five competition, with games scored to nine points. Some of the keys to this year’s team success will be the depth oftalent and large number of returning players. After two rebuilding years, the Athenas are ready to compete for a top position in the six-team OWIAA league. This year the team welcomes new head coach Mark Hovey, a former men’s varsity squash team member. His enthusiasm and organization will help the new players develop and the veterans reach their potential. In the number-six position, newcomer Nancy-Lee Ledgley played impressively in both of her matches. In the morning, Ledgley overcame some early nerves and erratic serving to play consistently in the later stages of the match and defeat her Western opponent in three games. In the afternoon, she met an inexperienced but athletic opponent from McMaster, Both players ran well, but in the end Ledgley showed her mental toughness to win the third game IO-8 and the match 3-o. Returning for her second year on the varsity team, Marielle Baer started at the number-five position, In her first match, she displayed outstanding defence and excellent running ability to defeat her opponent 3-l. Against McMaster, Baer overpowered a more inexperienced player to win handily 3-O.

After what seems like an eternity, the Waterloo Warriors hockey team are preparing to open their home season with two exciting weekend games against bitter division rivals. Tonightwill be the inaugural regular season tilt to be seen at the Columbia Icefields, as the Warriors face off at 7:30pm against the Western Mustangs. On Sunday at 2~00 p.m., the Warrior Ice-Men will play another home game, this time against the hated crossstreet Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks. Both games should prove to be hard-hitting affairs, with plenty of action for the fans, as there is no love lost between these teams, and Waterloo’s game is stand ‘em up and knock ‘em down. Western and Laurier lath defeated Waterloo earlier in the season in their respective home openers, but neither team could handle the physical nature of the Warriors. In both losses, the Warriors were severely depleted by injuries and were forced to dress players who were not IO0 per cent. Now the Warriors are starting to play up to their potential, and the roster is gradually being restocked

Imprint’s exclusive, informative, and tastyIVaismith Classic preview!

In her fifth and final year as a varsity team member, co-captain Heather MacLeod showed her experience and varied shot-making to defeat a perennial rival from Western 3-O. Against the Marauder opponent, MacLeod dominated from start to finish, allowing only seven points to be scored against her in the match. Second-year player Susan Jones, playing number three on this year’s team, started off the year on a winning note by defeating her Mustang opponent 3-l. Jones ran extremely well and displayed good power against a less seasoned player. Against McMaster, Jones never really got going against a more experienced opponentwho dominated most rallies and won 3-O. Consistency was the key difference in the match. Third-yearveteran Honee Hoculik played some competitive summer squash to make her a solid contender at the number-two spot. In her opening match against Western, Hoculik’s stellar defence and excellent length were key factors in a 3-O victory. She fared less well against a McMaster veteran with a lot of junior squash experience. Hoculik continued to run well, but was outmatched with tight shots and errorfree squash. Mac won the match 3-O. Returning as number-one player, fourth-year player and co-captain Christine Anderson also split her two matches with a 3-O victory over a weak Western opponent and a O-3 loss against McMaster. Anderson used her power and a variety of shots to overwhelm her Mustang opposition, but despite a valiant defence effort fell victim to a more consistent Marauder number-one player. Waterloo will carry its seven points (one from each match victory) into the cross-over tournament to be held November 20-21 at Ryerson, where they will meet the Ieague’s three east division teams. Overall, the team played

consistently and with good determination to turn around the previous year’s last place finish at the same tournament With continued hard work, the

Athenas can continue to build on this winning season and work towards a strong ranking for the championship tournament in February.

Field hockey finishes fourth by Carol Imprint

Ferguson sports

The Waterloo Athenafield hockey team entered the OWlAA final tournament last weekend in Toronto after placing sixth in league play. Three days of bumps, bruises and missing sticks and it was all over. Friday. The Athenas were to play the Guelph Gryphons. Waterloo always finds the Gryphons to be a tough opponent and the team is not really sure why. The Gryphons have some fast forwards, a (sporadically) good goalie, and a very regimented style of Play* Nothing bright and beautiful, but Waterloo ended up in the “L” column both times the teams met during the season. But a loss in Friday’s game would have meant a fifth-place finish, at best, for the Athenas. With this fact firmly in I5 minds, Waterloo played its best game of the season. Really. It was beautiful. The passes were accurate, communication was plentiful, and everyone was in the game . . . together at the same time. The first half passes; Waterloo has shut down Guelph’s forwards, neither team scores. Second half, the Athenas batter ruthlessly on Cuelph’s defence; no goals. Add another 30 minutes of overtime; still no score. Penalty shots anyone? Goalie Yolanda Lewczuk saved three of Guelph’s five shots to cap off her day’s

after to get first

rough

stellar performance+ Happy news: Guelph’s goalie only saved two out of five goals from Rachelle Brohman, Lisa Howell, and Linda Mowat gave Waterloo the day’s victory. Saturday’s game against York displayed none of Friday’s fire. In a very slow-paced game, Waterloo lost 3-O to theveryexpensiveYorkYeowomen and advanced to the bronze medal round. We were pumped. We were ready * . . we couldn’t get to the field!!! Our bus was late, leaving some players without sticks, and making warm-up hectic and short. (Thank God Judy had cab money!) So finally, we were ready to play Western; the ugliest-playing team in the league. Comparing good hockey to Western’s style would be like comparing ballet and muscle spasm. But, it makes them very difficult to play, and even harder to score on. Which we did not Late in the second half, Western (somehow) scored a lone goal to give $em the win. (I apologize for the briefness of this game account, I’m still bitter). The very battered, bruised and tired Athena’s placed fourth, two places better than their entry into the tournament Leanne Dietrich and Kathy Reilly were named to the QWIAA all-star second team. A pretty good season all-round, even if we did wait ‘til the finals to redeem ourselves. Good work, team *,. see you indoors in January.

with players as they become healthy. Due to return to the regular lineup in the near future are forwards Bill Whistle (concussion versus Laurier), Mark Ferrier (flu), Geoff Rawson (arm injury during Oktoberfest tournament), and blueliners Barry Young and Mark Cardiff. These players alone provide the Warriors with a wicked five-man punch on the ice, sotheirarrival couldn’t be more timely. Last weekend the Warriors travelled to Rochester, New York, to take part in the Rochester Institute of Technology Invitational Tournament, and were forced to use an even shorter lineup. Injuries, school work, and personal considerations meant that Waterloo dressed I4 skaters and 3 goalies for each game, while the usual state of affairs is I8 and 2. In the first game on Friday, October 29, against SUNY Plattsburgh Cardinals, several Warriors had outstanding performances, but the team itself came up on the wrong side of a 9-3

Playing the game as though he had something to prove, Kraemer turned in one of his best performances ofthe season. Aside from slamming their players around, Kraemer was a man on a mission as he sought his first goal of the year in the hopes of shaking the goalless monkey from his back Kraemer has been hampered by his offseason injury which saw him lose his left index finger. He stitl is unable to make a fist with his shooting hand, which severely limits his scoring ability, but dogged play and determination around the net saw him rewarded with the marker. Fan support could provide the Warriors with the impetus they need to start on a winning note at home, and this year’s team will provide some of the most entertaining hockey Waterloo has seen. No deficit is too large, no lead is too big.

Brovvn and Gregoire lead varsity runners to 5th and Tth-place finishes at OU/O.Ws by Saruh Brown and Sherry Carter Imprint sports In the most important races of the season, the OUAA/OWlAA championships, the Warrior and Athena cross country teams were thankful for all their intense training that took place in the first part of the season. During those early workouts, team members were not sure that the aches and pains were worth it. But now, all members of the team thank their coaches, Brent McFarlane, John Swarbrick and Gary Wilson, for their dedication and expertise. All the coaches and our favourite trainer, Kevin Blake, gave a lot of time and patience to all the athletes. Although, when McFarlane sits in his car

This intense running resulted in the top ftve runners breaking their top times for this season. The first to cross the finish line for Waterloo was Sarah Brown, in 15th position in a field of the top 86 female runners in Ontario. Brown crossed the finish line in a speedy time of t 8:34. Sherry Carter was next to cross the line for Waterloo close behind Brown with a time of 18147, placing 18th. Carter will be a definite asset to the 4-by-800-metre relay this year in track.

Rounding up the scoringwar Sarah Thompson, Sepanta Dorri, and Cheryl Turner placing 39th, SSth, and 6 1st respectively. The Warrior team was led as always, by the man, jason Gregoire, who placed I I th overall with a time of 32: I4. Gregoire was followed by our friend from Germany, Hans Reiss, who finished 20th in 3249. The team’s own Mr.Responsibi lity, Mike Ready, finished 3 1st in a time of 33:27. Ready has improved greatly over the past year. Jonathan Cressman finished 42nd overall, even with his short pit stop. Rounding out the scoring was Stephen Dyke, Scott McDonald and Jim Mylet, placing 58th, 69th and 73rd respectively overall. Congratulations to all members of both cross country teams. At the completion of the OUAAIOWIAA awards ceremony, the team celebrated a successful season together as they indulged in pina!

Western advance by Peter Imprint

Upsets have fatlen out of fashion in football. For one weekend, at least The Western Mustangs will host the Toronto Varsity 8lues in tomorrow’s Yates Cup OUAA final after the top two seeds dispatched their lessors last weekend at SkyDome. The Blues visited J. W. Little Stadium just a few weeks ago, where they got a rude surprise in the form of a rout at the hands of Larry Haytor’s Mustangs. The loss knocked the BI ues from their number-one national ranking. Last Saturday, the Mustangs contained Guelph’s double- team passing attackand shared the batl between Tim Tindale and Sean Reade in beating the Gryphons 2O- 13. :Toronto dodged a last-minute bullet when Laurier’s Peter Hwang capped offa I &I-yard, Bil I Kubas-directed drive with a fumble at the goalline, giving the Blues a 27-20 victory over the Golden Hawks. The Hawks had moved the ball wet1 all game, but were killed by turnovers, including two picks thrown by backup quarterback Chris Janzen, who played the better part of two quarters in relief of the injured Kubas. But Kubas came back into the game in the fourth quarter and the Hawks found themselves on their fouryard line with 6~07 left to play. No problem. Sixteen yards to I6 more to Stefan Ralph Spoltore; Ptaszek; I9 yards to Craig Brenner; IO

OUAA

and Toronto to Yates Cup yards to Andrew Scharschmidt on 2ndand-8; 4 yards on a 3rd-and-one gamble; finally, another I6 to Spoltore. Then the fumble. Laurier made it interesting in the third quarter when, down by I 0, Ku bas aired out a 75.yard bomb to Ptaszek, only to have Blues receiver Francis Etienne run the ensuing kickoff back for a major himself, to put Toronto’s lead back to I 0.

Western dominated a bit more statistically than did Toronto in its 20t 3 win. Guelph’s Peter Barbaric tied the game at I3 with a 40-yard field goal before Mustang pivot Eric Ursic ran in the winning touchdown from IO yards out. Announced attendance was over 6,000, but this must have included schmoozers and media types.

Rcrwers at provincials; hoops *.*, Warriors out &ast ished fourth Waterioo’s varsity rowing team capped off a great season with some success at last weekend’s OUAA and OWIAA championships at Brock Universities’ Henley Course in St. Catharines. The Athenas placed three of four boats in the top three in Ontario, coming away with a second-place finish in the heavy double and third in both the heavy single and the light double. The women’s heavy fours took a seventh. The Warrior side had almost as much success, with the heavy single and the light double both finishing third in the OUAA. The men’s heavy double team fin-

The Eliminators outlasted their competition IS-I I, 12-15, IS13.KudostoKenTrinh,TaiChau, Fred Lob, Henry, Due, Tammy, and Carolyne. The A-flight final was a rematch of Crush and Strange Brew. Crush had won the first meeting in the round-robin 3-I I, I l-8, I I -7 and Strange’ Brew lucky to be in the A flight, were eager to avenge the loss. And avenge it they did, beating Crush in straight games I 5-4, 15-9. Congratulations to Jeff Flay, Teresa DiBiaso, Melissa Inrig, Chris Lee, Nate Brown, Mira Sirotic, and Taka. The strong play of the two other A-flight teams, Erotichem and Cheeriodles should also be noted. Thanks to all referees and tournament Refin-Chief Greg Blythe.

On October 24,29 tennis players made their way to the Waterloo Tennis Club to play some preliminary ranking games. After the day was completed, everyone was seeded and placed into a single elimination tournament. These tournaments were played on Halloween Sunday. In our beginner level pool, the final saw a fierce match between Edward Galutan and Martin van Lanen. In the end, with score tied at five games each, the two players decided to call it a draw and share the honours of Campus Ret champs, In our intermediate pool, the final match pitted Craig Lyn against the only female in the competition, Sonja Klinberg. Without even breaking a sweat Sonja won 6-4. Semi-finalists Stefan Gieselmann and Waseem Naz should also be congratulated for their strong play. The advanced pool saw some very high quality play between some players who might want to consider varsity try-outs. The final matched Bob Ho and

Kathy Reilly is this week’s female athlete of the week Reilly is a third-year arts student who was named an OWIAA all-star at the field hockey provincials last weekend at York University. Reilly’s contribution has come in the area of defense, playing the centre midfielder position where she is the quarterback of the transition game and responsible to ensure solid defense. During penalty comer defense, Reilly’s play has held the Athenas opponent to only two total goals all season from this position. The Athenas lost the bronze medal, I-0, to the Western Ontario Mustangs in the final minute of play at the championship.

The Bombshelter October

28, I993

Fisher to Imprint

Eric’s Trip have never delivered anything less than an amazing performance and last Thursday’s Bomber show proved no exception. Touring in support of their spanking brand new Sub Pop full-Iengther Love Tam, the Moncton quartet blasted through a stunning I5 song set which balanced material from the new effort with the best of this past year’s two standout EPs and earlier releases. Opening with bassist Julie Doiron’s sweet acoustic solo “Secret For Julie,” the band exploded into the Peter Ep’s “Need” with a ferocity that rarely subsided during the show’s remainder. Especially illustrative, and getting ever tighter with each successive performance, were guitarists Rick White and Chris Thompson’s gritty duel attack and pummeling rhythms which continue to leave one’s head spinning. But Eric’s Trip’s performances aren’t all fire and bombast When the intensity level seems ripe to implode, they poignantly shift to more subtle and atmospheric numbers like the new album’s “Stove.” Then it’s straight back to the mind-numbingly gorgeous sonic punk of “Listen,” “Sloan Song,” “Haze,” and more, killers all. They’ve got a dazzling arsenal of weapons at their disposal -- tireless energy, a retiring charm, and (best of all) fantastic songs -and yet Eric’s Trip have another ace up they’re collective sleeve in the presence of maniacal drummer Mark Gauclet. A virtuoso who’s got to be seen to be believed, he’s practically the second coming of Keith Moon and a drummer any band would kill for. In a live setting his impact is all the more obvious as he furiously pounds the band’s material into a melange of menacing exhiliration. It’s no small feat. All in all, another intoxicating show by one of Canada’s pre-

JFsionic complementary. Tristan Psionic opened and played an hour long set which, although of fairly lengthy duration for a young opening act that many are unfamiliar with, never once grew stale and went a great distance demonstrating the band’s infectious enthusiasm and solid song-writing. The power-punk foursome have just gotten themselves a new rhythm section and appear to be rock solid. Look for available and forthcoming material from them on their own Sonic Unyon label as they continue altering the landscape of pop Grasshoppermusic as we now know it. The night was bridged by prolegalization trio Grasshopper. If their appearance this past summer at the Volcano club was an utterly hopeless fiasco, Thursday’s Bomber performance was a different matter entirely. As might be expected by anyone who’s heard their Born Loser EP, anything can happen at a Grasshopper gig. They like their music hard and fuzzy, with lots of feedback and nuclear

meltdown guitar solos. Whether their music need be classified as either heavy metal or punk seems of little concern to them, but they come off as a stoned collision between Master Of Realityera Black Sabbath and the Melvins.

Lead guitarist Owen Wright did job combining great guitar work with cool face-the-amp type poses, although he later confessed to being too drunk to play a longer set. The crowd was very sparse and anyone could just wander up to the stage, grab the railing and flail away. One definite complaint about the band was that their set was too short: I4 songs and a 2 song encore in just over an hour. They definitely have enough material to have played longer after coming all this way (Toronto was the only Canadian date), hangingaroundform 8 o’clock on, and attracting about 50 people, many of whom seemed to be pretty big fans. It was a treat though, because apparently they usually don’t play encores!

Rage Against the Machine were in town to headline their first show, pulling all the stops to deliver their highly politicized message: selling tickets cheaper by not going through TicketMaster, hawking T-shirts at reasonable prices, handing out social protest literature against record company politics and social injustice. Targetted in their harangues were the police, the CIA, the Mafia, and the raising of awareness about the case of Leonard Peltier who was illegally detained, tried, and sentenced for killing two FBI agents. The verdict was based on what was apparently falsified or inconclusive evidence. He’s served I6 years of his sentence so far. “I’d like to say that we’re here to entertain you..., but unfortunately music and entertainment are two forms that are not compatible.” Grunge Lite this was not, and their entire show reeked “FUCK YOU I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME”. The show began with a loud version of ‘Bombtrack’, and they followed through with most of the songs from their self-titled debut album. In the middle of the show, the rage subsided somewhat when the band bagan a long jazzy jam to which the lead singer read Alan Ginsberg’s “Hadda Be Playing on the Jukebox” out loud to the audience, howling out, “Hadda be the Mafia & CIA together/Started War on Cuba Bay of Pigs & Poison assassination headlines... Hadda be murder in Indonesia 500OOO/Hadda be murder in Indochina 2 000 OOOlHadda be murder in Russia/ Hadda be murder in America” losing himself in the words, building and building with intensity that burst into one of their explosive songs. Near the end they introduced a song called “Freedom” with a long speech saying “In America there are some religious fundamentalists who want to take away a woman’s right to her own body. Doc-

tors are receiving death threats, patients are being followed to their own homes and harrassed, and one doctorwas shot in both of his hands so that he could not operate.” The song busted through with the message: ‘*your anger is a gik” The opening band “State of the Nation” went on at IO: IS, and to say they sucked, might be giving them too much credit. The crowd was not pleased, and they got their biggest applause when they announced that they were going to play their last song. The lead singer ended that song with a protest whine that was a pale attempt to emulate Rage Against the Machine themselves. Quicksand were infinitely better and, as they’re from New York, Prong and Helmet comparisons are easy to make. They rocked a one-hour set with a ferocity of their own and a tight sound and did a good job at the extremely demanding prospect of having to open for one of the most intense bands of the Lollapalooza generation. It doesn’t really matter though because the crowd was there to see Rage, and if the intense crowd surfing that went on before the show was any evidence, even the best of Quicksand had already been forgotten by the time the headliners hit the stage. Last time they came to Toronto they were playing with House of Pain, and next time they’ll come with Cypress Hill. This show was entirely their own, and they grabbed it by the throat and didn’t let go. The shirts that they sold had a quote from Mao Zedong written in big letters on the front “POWER STEMS FROM THE BARREL OF A GUN”. Their message isn’t about guns, it’s about revolution, about taking the power back, and about using your youth to expose the bloated power structure that controls by dividing. It’s a message that hopefully wasn’t lost on the dehydrated moshsters in the pit or the flaming student radicals who cast themselves off of the balcony during “Know Your Enemy”. Fools are everywhere, but they had to pick themselves up off of the floor before the people they hit could imprint the Dot Marten logo into the backs of their skulls. Ask yourself if you’re that type.

That same evening I happened to come across a video by Mushroom Trail, and decided that it would be a serious mistake to listen to these headbanging Megadethwannabeesopen for Buffalo Tom. Aher showing up too early to see Buffalo Tom and accidentally catching a glimpse of Mushroom Trail it was obvious that the right choice was made by going to see Tim Burton’s much talked about A Nightmare Before Christmas (a review is hiding somewhere in this issue), Don’t get me wrong, I always give a band the benefit of the doubt, I actually managed to force myself to listen to 30 seconds of Mushroom Trail’s clamour before deciding that it was time to grabbajabba at the Second cup. The very-much-pissed-off-withthe-opening-act crowd was well rewarded for suffering through Mushroom Trail mayhem. All it took was one loud and clear guitar riff to blow the roof off Lee’s Palace and announce to the audience that Suffalo Tom had arrived to please the massesJudging by the frenzied bouncing and mass gyrating (not to mention my own toe tapping), the audience knew that they were in store for a potent mix of melodies spanning the band’s seven year history. After arousing the crowd byopening up the evenings festivities with their

off to Buffalo most popular song “Velvet Roof ‘, auffalo Tom ripped into several new tunes from Big Red Letter Day, as well as providing stunning live versions ofsongs from their previous three albums: Let Me Come Over, Birdbrain, and Sunflower Suit. The set was highlighted by an outstanding performance of a few new songs namely “Treehouse”, “Soda Jerk” and “Torch Singer”, which drew a surprisingly overwhelming singalongfrom the sweat drenched dancing herd. The Toms also threw in some old favourites like “Darl”, and “Taillights”. The glowing ghosts and jack-o’-lanterns strewn across the drum kit were also a nice touch. If you have heard any new material from Buffalo Tom you may find some subtle similarities to peer rockers the Lemonheads. This similarity is not just a product of a common influences Husker Du and the Replacements but also because their new album Big Red Letter Day was produced by the same team that constructed the Lemonheads’ Its Shame About Roy. The show however did not provide a sound similar to the sometimes hokey sounds of the Lemonheads. On the whole the Toms provided solid rocking songs and overwhelming harmonies, yes harmonious singing! It was obvious that Buffalo Tom had matured since their previous showing at Lee’s Palace two years ago, standing more confident and more relaxed than when they toured in support of their previous album, Let Me Come Over. On Monday night they were defi-

nitely more poised than on Late Night with Conan O’tetterman-stand-in. Clearly Buffalo Tom have managed to shed some light on the looming shadow of former producer and influence J Mascis (head honcho of Dinosaur Jr) which the band has often been called a blatant copy of. This power pop trio have managed to carve their own little niche in the music world and by the looks of it are gaining a steadily growing following. My only complaint about Monday night’s Buffalo Tom show is not directed towards the band but the venue. Lee’s Palace is small and intimate and sweaty and extremely smoky, actually so smoky that I was still scraping tar from my lungs the next morning. Also the bouncers resembled our primordial ancestors, the apes, in both appearanceand attitude; just chill out and everyone will have a good time. Until next time here are some pointers on how to make the most of a chilly Monday night : a) skip some lectures, head for TO b) see a good movie with a friend c) go to Buffalo Tom show d) skip opening act and refer to step b e) see Buffalo Tom f) close your eyes, sleep g) skip some more lectures h) listen to Buffalo Tom albums i) stay up late catching up on missed lecture5 j) start from step a.

From the darkness they came and into darkness led us. With music so beautiful and plaintive, wild and capricious they guided us towards blinding deafening brilliance. Then as we came to love them unlike anything else they bid us farewell, blew us a kiss and passed once more through the veil between worlds and time, to the darkness from whence they came.

more than makes up for it Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmar” is destined to become a Halloween classic.

The evening of Monday October 25th witnessed the return of Titania and Oberon in the form of Dead Can Dance’s Lisa Gerard and Brendan Perry. It was a performance designed for the theatre without theatrics. With a stage presence, production and atmosphere so simplistic Dead Can Dance still overwhelmed the audience, they needed nothing else for pure beauty. It was apparent to everyone that they were witnessing something that would never be repeated. The music evoked silent tears, gasps of awe and childeyed wonderment For two hours everything else had no meaning, and afterwards everything seemed more meaningful.

by Dcwe Fisher specid to xmprint Appearing at Phil’s Grandson’s Place this coming Wednesday will be the Toronto sonic pop trio hHead. They return having already played Waterloo three times this past year-supporting Eric’s Trip, the Sounds of Summer, and their own previous headline gig at Phil’s -- but this will be their first since winning CFNYs Discovery to Disc competition, an award won last year by the Barenaked Ladies. Although hHead had been performing over the past year in a warm-up capacity for many big international acts and had even drawn a packed Opera House show headlined by themselves, their prize nonetheless came as an incredible shock to many who’d touted the $100,000 award as a saw-off between favourites Lowest Of The Low and Sara Craig. As h Head’s bassist Brendan Canning explains it, nobody was more surprised about the decision than the band themselves. “‘We were totally shocked,” Canning describes slowly, still in disbelief. “We’d all pretty well conceded it to Lowest Of The Low.” There can be no underestimatingthe strength of the band’s independently recorded and released debut Fireman however, nor their explosively energetic live performances. As for their immediate plans following a series of Southern Ontario shows,Canning admits they’re still a little bit sketchy. ‘Well, we’re going to equip ourselves with some new equipment, that’s for sure, and we’re going to get to work on a new album.” “Right now we haven’t yet decided who we

I /

want to produce it though, so we’ll have to see about that We’ll have to find out about availabilities and times, and so forth... It’s all happened so fast that we’re just talking to as many people as possible to get some ideas.” “So far we’ve already recorded seven tracks ourselves and we’ll probably be re-recording them more for the new album later... maybe something from Firernun too... We’re just not sure.” Either Canning’s still in amazement or keeping his cards guarded closely to his chest But one thing’s for certain, and that’s plenty more of hHead’s kick-ass shows. Phil’s Grandson’s Place this Wednesday is sure to be amongst them.

It’s called “Happy Music”, and I love it! Songs that inexplicably bring a bright smile to your face; a sway in the hips and a snap in the fingers of the most rigid of people. It has the power of conjuring up tropical images of white beaches, and tall, frosted cocktails adorned with little umbrellas in the

mind of the listener. The “Cool Runnings” soundtrack is comprised of just such music. It is, of course, called reggae, and I love it! Focussing on the simple pleasures

Although l know very little of Mecca Normal, (What else is new with Imprint reviews) I can say that this two piece band rocks in a special way. The music and lyrics are very alternative, and I can imagine seeing this kind of venue in an artsy cappuccino .bar or underground night club in Vancouver. This very unique sound is easy to get used to, and if I may add is one hell of a trip. The band consists of Jean Smith, who does all the singing, and the scream-

of music. This revival, is not taking place in the U.K. where it all started but is taking place in Canada. Ska was, and still is, the amalgamation of reggae and dance music (before they actually existed) with live horn sections thrown in on the side. On the forefront of this revival are some really amazing get down and groove bands like One, Skaface and King Apparatus. They all play original dancey type material drawing strongly from the stylings of the English Beat, The Specials and The Selector. All these bandsare pattofagrowing ska movement on the Canadian music scene. You could almost consider it an English Two Tone movement in Canada. Remember “Mirror In The Bathroom”?

When I lirst began volunteering as a DJ at Waterloo’s campus radio st.a= tion many years ago, and was desperately searching for something to fulfill the Canadian content requirements for my show, I ran across a I988 EP by these guys. Someone had scrawled on the comment sheet something like “This is amazing!“, so I threw it on the turntable and sure enough, it was. The Forbidden Dimension released another four-song seven-inch in 1989, thereby letting the public know they would probably be around for a little while yet, After four years though, 1was beginning to suspect these prairie boys had found full-time jobs doing something else. Seeing Sin Gullery in the office a couple weeks ago was more than a pleasant surprise. The four-year gap between recordings has resulted in much cleaner vocals on Sin Gallery, as opposed

For those of you who loved Never Loved Elvis, the long awaited sequel is finally here. The Wonder Stuffs newest album is called Construction fir the Modem Idiot. If you didn’t know, this is their fourth effort, fifth if you count the bootlegged Groove Machine. I really wanted to love this one. My friends said it was really good. And it is. The production is high quality, it sounds nice and glossy. I can tell

by Rob Imprint

that Construction for the Modem Idiot will appeal to a wide audience, just like Elvis did. Which makes me very happy because you’d never meet a harder working band. They really are a great bunch of guys, and they deserve all their success. But.,(yes there is a but coming), personally 1 think there is something missing on this album. Or maybe it’s not so much what’s missing, it is what’s been added. If you peel away the Classic rock riffs’n chorus lines, the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, french horn, sitar, melotron, and mandolin, you finally catch sight of the ole’ Wonder Stuffs energy, spunk and HUP. I’m not saying that the Studies should have stayed the same as they were on Eight-legged Grove Machine, or Hup. A band can’t stay the same forever. That would be boring. I guess I’m just not really thrilled with the path they’ve chosen. Don’t get me wrong though, I still think it is a good album. The best tracks are, “Hush”, “Change Every Light Bulb “, “Sing the Absurd” and “I Wish Them All Dead”.

tickers Stag

it would be difficult to follow up on the success that Buffalo Tom had with their I991 release Let Me Come Over, and to the Boston based band’s credit, they didn’t try to release a single with the same radio-playability as Velvet

Roof: Sig Red Letter Day is a solid release; many of the songs are reminiscent of material released previous to their last album. Bill Janovitz’s voice is straining and sing-songy at the same time, and gives a solid base for the catchy guitar-pop sound that the band is known for. Songs like the opener, “Sodajerk”, the Buffalo-ballad “I’m Allowed”, and the closer “Any-

thing That Way” satisfy a craving for new music from B. T., and every song is wittily lyricized. Usually, a reviewer has the choice of comparing the new al bum to the band’s other releases. This one should be judged on its own: it’s a good release with excellent tunes; it stands apart from the other stuff by being new stuff; it is Buffalo Tom material that merits listening and judging by previous fans and curious listeners alike. This album isn’t Let Me Come Over. Sut let’s face it, when a band releases something new, that’s exactly their point. It’s NEW.

Finally, a good local band that’s not from the funk, classic rock or reggae school of music. Meet the Anti Socials. Made up of two guys from Cambridge and one guy from Guelph, this band doesn’t like to be called ” grungey”, but instead prefers heavy “heavy alternative. ” The lead singer and bass guitarist of the band is Imprint’s very own Arts writer Jeff Chard. “Subcultures” is the first independant album from the band, consisting of ten well balanced, catchy and thought provoking songs. Obvious on the album is Chard’s sociology backround. The lyrics are largely made up of a critique of modern day society, especially in the areas of religion, systemic racism and sexism and people’s aversion to discussing inevitable death. ( Hence the name “ Anti Socials. ” ) Among the intense, powerful and angry tunes sits “earnest, plaintive and, at times, downright sad” songs, Karen Adderley reported in the Cambridge Times. John Kiley from the Kitchener Record agreed, and added that “the one thing you won’t find on this cassette is romance.” Vik Kirsch of the Guelph Mercury called the album “socially aware” and added ” this is a band without flash or frills, just substance. ” High points of the album are the songs ” I,” “Get Crucified”, ” I Can’t Help it if I’m Shy” and, of course, the bands’ basic theme song, ” DeSocialization.” Tight and to the point, “Subcultures” deserves to be heard. These guys are excellent musicians, songwriters and performers. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing them live knows that they are really into what they do. With this album, the Anti Socials are hoping to get signed to a record contract or,

5, 1993

imprint

at least, to top notch management. They have been together for almost two years now, and have played basically every bar there is to play in Guelph and Cambridge, and selected bars in Toronto. “Subcultures” is available in the independant sections of HMV on University Ave., at Fairview and in Guelph, as well as Dr. Disk and Encore Records in Kitchener, Wheels Entertainment in Cambridge and Records on Wheels and Loony Tunes in Guelph. So if you’re ready to hear something different and sick of the usual shit that’s usually attached to the label “local band” ( like I am, ) walk into a local record store, pick up the Anti Socials album and fight your fucking socialization.

Shaw to Imprint

Ever wonder what women do when they go off to the bathroom together in groups? Relieving themselves is usually only third after fixing their makeup and of course, discussing men. Regrets On/y centres around a diverse group of women seeking refuge from a Christmas party in an upstairs bedroom and bathroom. The play brings to light the various relationships the women share with men and the attitudes they hold according to their age and life experiences. Marriage, loyalty, infia Zlivand the double standard are some important issues the women must deal with. At opposite ends of the pole are Zelda,

Chinese

the glamorous sophisticate, who is bitter towards and hates all men, and Nancy, the devoted housewife, who remains committed to her marriage despite her husbands unfaithfulness. Though the feminine theme is strong throughout the play, men need not be scared away, for in no way does it bash men or sing the praises of feminist ideology. In fact it is quite humorous in many parts. The character of Trish, who is a’drunk, provides much comic relief throughout the play. Each of the women in this play has a very distinct character and all of the actresses are successful in portraying their uniqueness. The second of the two one-act plays is Death Seat. Though it was performed first, I chose to deal with it secondly, as I was unsure what exactly to say about it. For those of you fascinated with the fundamental questions concerning life and death, I guess

This notable film shared the Golden Bear award at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival with Chen Kaige’s Farewell to My Concubine. It concerns life in rural China where feudal conditions remain in presentday China. The films are shown at East Campus Hall on Thursdays only and the cost is 3 clams for members, 4 and a half for non-members. The series of films from China has been made possi-

this play is for you. It takes place in a bar, close to a hospital. It is no ordiv bar, however. The omniscient &artender does more than just mix drinks, or “transfusions,” as he prefers to call them. More importantly, he determines the fate of his patrons. It seems that all the customers in the bar are waiting to die. When their time comes, the bartender gives them permission to go through “the door,*’ which as far as I could see, symbolizes the doomay to death and the other side. Don’t be surprised if Rod Sirling turns up and announces that you have entered the Twighlight Zone! De& Seat will effect different peopie in different ways.

The films are all filmed on location in China between I980 and 1992, and many have won awards at various film festivals. They also all have English subtitles. Burning of the Imperial Pubce and Reign Behind u Curtain (playing November I I and November 18) are two parts of the story of the Empress Dowager, the indulgent incompetent Empress who ruled China at its lowest point in the latter 19th century. When the Leaves Turn Red (November 25) deals with the Yangtze river and the people who run the ferries that cross it.
