Former UW student Kris Warkentin, accused of the New Years day murder of PhD student David Zaharchuk, has been convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years in prison. Warkentin pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter in his first day of trial last Wednesday, December 1. He had originally been charged with second degree murder. Zaharchuk’s body was found at 2:45 am in the Engineering I building by security guards, having been beaten to death. Details coming from the brief trial showed that Warkentin had consumed large quantities of alcohol on New Years Eve and, leaving his wife at their Marr‘ied Students Apartment, came to cambus to play . video games. His access to UW computer system was denied, however, because he was considered to have left on a co-op work term.SWdMf” Enraged by his deniai of access, Warkentin began stiashing cornputerr and windows with a wrench he had found. After being confronted by Zaharchuk outside Zaharchuk’s lab, where he was working on his PhD thesis, Warkentin struck Zaharchuk numerous times

on the head and shoulder, killing him. The wrench was later found in a recycling bin between Engineering I and Carl Pollock H%II. Warkentin then left for his work term in Hinton, Alberta where, several days later, he was questioned by Waterloo Regional Police about the slaying. No charges were laid at that time. Days later, on February I, Warkentin surrendered himself with his lawyer to police in Cambridge, Ontario. A preliminary healing was helb during the sum-

bans Homolka newsgroup

by Frank Segknieks Imprint stfl In a move designed to prevent any possible legal action coming against the university, the vice president’s office decided this Tuesday to prevent the possible distribution of banned information from the Karla Homotka trial. Any details of the trial, which occurred this past summer, are part of a publication ban imposed by Justice Francis Kovacs and anyone caught distributing such information can be charged. On Tuesday, the university ordered its library to remove an article from a U.S. newspaper which contains details of the trial and ordered the cancelation of the popular intemet newsgroup alttfan.karla-homolka, where many rumours about the trial have been posted since the trial. The newsgr.oup has also been banned at the University of British Columbia and McGill. In a memo distributed by UW vice president Jim Kalbfleisch Tuesday afternoon, it is stated that “the University is placed at risk of being charged and prosecuted if material which breaches a Court Order is received and distributed by the University”. The memo goes on to order the removal of the newspaper article ffom the library and removal of any material from the netv;o;k. “The publication ban requires us to act when we’re aware of a situation [in which the ban is breached],” said Kalbfleisch in an interview Thursday, adding that the university is not required to search out offending persons or newsgroups. Just recently, the contents of a Washington Post article were posted to the group, the contents of which would be illegal to distribute under the publication ban. That article was also at the centre of a controversy this past weekend when Detroit and Buffalo papers published the article causing customs officials to rip off the pages with the offending article if the papers were to be sold in Canada. Also individuals were only allowed to bring one paper over the border into Canada. Although direct access to altfan.karla.homoIka has been cut off, details are still being distributed through other newsgroups. Kalbfleisch, however, is not tgo concerned with this, stating that there is no way to stop soy information from being to posted to general newsgroips. Howwer, when a newsgroup centred around Karla Homolka is on the network&e university is potentially liable to legal action, said Kalbfleish. While altf&Karla-homolka has been available on campus since the summer, Kalbfleisch has only just recently become aware of it

TheOntario ufidergtiuate Student’s Alliance (OUST) and the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) are currently at odds over tuition reform. On November IO, COU sent a letter to Ontario education minister David Cooke disputing the propositions put forward in OUSA’s recent discussion paper on tuition reform/In the Public Interest Ensuring Quality, Accessibility and Accountability in Ontario Universities.” “I’m disappointed that COU is vvritingofiour l&yproposals.“stated Federation of Students president Catherine Coleman, when asked about the letter. OUSA’s proposal to match tuition fee increases with increased government contributions is unrealistic,

COU president Peter George argued in the letter. “We have regretfully concluded that restoring adequate [government] funding is unlikely in a time of declining government revenues and fiscal restraint,” wrote George. * “COU is recommending that the Ontario government adopt the age-old policy that ‘there is no money’,” responded Coleman. “They’re saying that we can’t afford to, but right now ‘Lve can’t afford not to.” According to the COU letter, OUSA’s proposal to eliminate ancittary fees, *‘ignore both the need for these revenues and for the many ancillary services which could not be provided without these funds.” OUSA feels that the unregulated ancillary fees are “non-academic” and are increasingly abused by uni-

versities to fund themsefves. COU also argued against OUSA’s proposals for better accountability, specifically their proposal for “Quality Enhancement Funds” to be established by the provincial government, which would involve a degree of governmental intrusion into university affairs that would threaten university autonomy, according to COU. “We’re not asking to compromise authority, we’re just asking for improved accountability,” said

Coleman. “We’re ccincemed about quality. We can’t continue to talk abbut working with existing funds, we must find new funds.” The “Quality Enhancement Funds” proposed by OUSA would be institutionally based funds which would be allocated to areas based on where students felr improvements were necessary. The Federation of Students have been members of OUSA since its inception in 1992.

Cut backs are being made in education and environmental studies stu-’ dents don’t want to stand for it. Within the UW Faculty of Environmental Studies, students have taken an initiative to help themselves by voting in an endowment fund to enhance both graduate and undergraduate education. A referendum was held for the Waterloo Environmental Studies Endowment Fund (WESEF) on November 2,3 and 4. Results were not were not available until November 23 because of co-op students who had to mail in their ballots.

STUDIES

The FACULTY OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES offers unique opportunities for those interested in graduate work leading to the Masters and PhD degrees. Students pursue their own interests, building on past experience and exploring ideas in the broad spectrum of perspectives on natural, social, built and organizationai environments. Individualized and flexible programs are possible in a wide range of environmental studies areas. Some of these areas are: environmental thought

organizations and change gender and environment l environmental education and critical pedagogy l urban politics, planning and design l environmental and social policy l global/international and Canadian development 9 environmental planning and design l .regional and community development l the study of the future l communiation, advocacy and socialchange l l

of which supported the fund. “There was a strong support from all four units,” said graduate planning

student and WESEF organizing committee member George Wahl. Overall, 87.9 per cent of undergraduates and 89.7 per cent of gradu-

in by . ates supported the fund. Students agreed to a voluntary contribution of $45 per term added to their fee statements beginning in September 1994. The money that is collected will be put into the WESEF and the interest will be used to improve the quality of education. “Our objectives are to allocate resources to provide students with the best chance of obtaining relevant employment and to offer the citizens of Ontario an even more effective educational institution that consistently produces top quality graduates,” explained Wahl. The fund will not only provide Ontario citizens more opportunities, but all UW environmental studies students as well. The money will be used for facilities to improve conditions for everyone. . . . continued to page 6

Sexual assault myth challenged in recent study by Weather

Imprint

3, 1993

Robinson staff

The common belief that sexual assaults are less frequent in rural areas than in cities is challenged in a study released this week by the KitchenerWaterloo Sexual Assault Support Centre (K-W SASC). Findings reveal that women in KW townships of North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolrich represent I i.7 per cent of ali sexual assault survivors in the K-W region. According to .I 986 census data, the townships make up I I .8 per cent of the Waterloo Region population, and therefore, per capita, the occurance of sexual. assault is almost the same in rural areas, as it is in urban areas. “Unfortunately it is still a common myth that the countryside is a safe, serene, idyllic place to be. These kind of attitudes need to change,” said rural worker at SASC Susan Maciaczyk. The study was conducted to find out how to address this myth and provide direction for the development of a rural outreach program. “There isn’t a whole lot out there on the needs of women who have been

sexually assaulted in rural communities,” said Maciaczyk. Seventeen victims of sexual assault were asked what they think is needed to eliminate the problem of sexual assault in rural townships. Victims revealed that general community education on sexual assault is essential. Maciaczyk, who grew up in

“It’s &sy to think that things like sexual assault only happen in the city... ‘I rural K-W, said education is important. “It’s easy to think that things like sexual assault only happen in the city...we need to build awareness and promote change,” stressed Maciaczyk. The study also reveals that victims are concerned about confidentiality when seeking counselling. Because of less privacy in a rural areas, many women expressed the desire to have access to transportation into larger centres where counselling can be re-

Redefining

ceived. Victims feel if community attitudes towards sexual assault changed, the stigma and shame of being a survivor would also lessen and therefore, counselling would not have to be so secretive. SASC will increase education by lecturing at schools and other speaking engagements,% well as by distributing information about sexual assaults. Study results also suggest a need for services which acknowledge the importance of traditional values and religion in rural communities. Other findings point towards a need for additional initiatives in townships, such as, building awareness of the sexual assault services available to victims and coordination between services. Training township service providers and community leaders was also a concern. Women who participated in the study expressed the need for support -groups and networks to provide survivors of sexual assault with a form of outreach, especially for isolated women. Incorporating transpomtion and child care into rural services was also suggested.

Fat and thin. These two words have a great impact in our society, especially for women. Nicole Molnar, afourth year women’s studies major at the University of Guelph, is promoting a more positive body image for women of all sizes and shapes. Molnar rkently lectured at the University of Waterloo’s conference, “A Day With A Difference”. Aimed at

promoting nontypical careers for women, the conference was for grade eight girls. Today, more than ever before, the media presents a mass of images

the typical model weighs 23 per cent below the average portraying the “ideal woman” in an’ overwhelming manner. Magazines are filled with “beautiful”, white, “sexy” and thin models who are often under-

weight and anorexic, said Molnar. Accompanying these images are countless articles on dieting and beauty. According to Molnar, many women see these advertisements and fail to realize the typical model weighs 23 per cent below the average and has had hair and make-up artists working for severai hours to obtain the “perfect” I,,’ Instead of questioning the image, women tend to question themselves and their own bodies, says Molnar.

of the Kitchener-Waterloo Record reports that “women today have few healthy role models”. Molnar commented that dieters in our country eat less than people who are starving in other countries. “We send food to people who eat more than us.” said Molnar. Weight loss and dieting can lead to problem associations with food. Food is separated into “good” and “bad” categories. Eating food from the “bad” categor), such as chips and cookies, often gives the dieter a sense of failure or lack of willpower, and leaves the dieter feeling that more drastic measures must be resorted to in order to lose weight. Cosmetic surgery is common, but diet aids are more so. Over $33 billion per year is spent on diet aids, said Molnar. When asked what interested her in body image, Molnar replied that she had lived with an eating disorder for IO years and now wanted to help other people. She feels that by using herself as a personal reference, her message has more of an impact. She has talked to groups, comprised mainly of women, from grades four and five to women in

image can not measure up to the ons!aught of the media. Is it any wonder that the number ofwomen who diet or who have eating disorders is increasing, she asks? According to Molnar, the problem is one of socialization. From birth children are treated differently depending on their gender. Young girls are encouraged to play with dolls and wear pretty clothes and make-up. When these girls enter their teen years, they are encouraged by media and ofteri family to diet. Advertising obviously takes the issue to an extreme, but even children’s literature and Walt Disney movies perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Most of Disney’s heroines are white, slim and beautiful with an ideal figure while the evil queens or witches are old, ugly and fat. Many “teen” magazines, says Molnar, go to great lengths to promote healthy eating and positive body image, but the magazines are also filled with dieting advertisements and “thin and sexy” models.

Molnar said men need “to get an understanding of what women are going thovgh to try an’d change their attitudes on what a girlfriend should look like, and what a woman really is.” She went on to stress that men need to acknowledge the societal pressures that women are under. Molnar hopes her lecture can be seen as a starting point for others to do more exploration on their own and to question society.

Qne example of this is WESEF’s effort to update computers in the environmental studies computer labs. ‘Many of these computers are becoming obsolete, and it is estimated that by 1995 it will cost $60 000 to update them. Without funds provided by WESEF there will not be sufficient monies to make these type of improvements. WESEFwiIIalsousefundsto keep adjunct professors on staff. Adjunct professors are particularly important to students’ education, because they have been out in the ‘real world’ and have practical information to share, as opposed to other professors who may only have academic information to offer students. WESEF will concentrate on itimediate projects in the near future and additional long term projects will be introduced at a later date as the fund grows. Students have suggested that the money be invested in projects such as starting student businesses. Endowment Funds similar to this one have been successful in the past. At the

lery may continue to be a problem in the “Bon Appetit” cafeteria inside the Davis Centre. This is due to the fact that the DC is a relatively new building whose design did not include faculties built with dish washers. There is now no space to install dishwashers said Food Services director Murdoch. “It was a faulty design at the time, and we don’t know how to best rectify it,” he explained. Imp&ant improvements that have been made by Food Services within the past few years include the use of china and the elimination of cardboard Pizza Pizza tray-liners in South Campus Hall, promotion and advertising for the re-usable lug-amugs and installing soft drinks and juices fountains. The drinks from these fountains are sold at a lower price than their canned and bottled counter parts. By January of 1994, in addition to the elimination of disposable dishes in the Village cafeterias, all of the scales in the campus cafeterias will be repaired so that salads will no longer have to be weighed and purchased on plastic or paper plates. University of Waterloo cafeterias used non-dispkable dishes only in the past, said Waste Management Coordinator Patti Cook. In

Complaints about the use of disposable dishes in the University of Waterloo’s student residences will soon be pacified, but the outcry of environmentatists may continue in other areas

across campus. In response to rising environmental concerns across campus, University of Waterloo’s Food Services has delinite plans to continue with the implemen&on of waste reduction measures in most of its cafeterias. “ W e ’ r e making a move towards more reusable dishes. In our residences we’ll be onto all reusable dishes by January. There will be no disposable available in our residence operations,” said Food Services director Mark Murdoch. Responding to this change, math student Diana Luciani was pleased. “At least they’re trying to cut down on waste a little bit,” she said. However, arts studentjuliana MC Kerglow lamented that the elimination of disposables in the Villages is not enough. “The disposable dishes used in other cafeterias, such as the Wild Duck Cafe, represent an extreme lack of environmental responsibility,” MC Kerglow stated. The construcresidences tion of the new student centre, beginning in January, will result in the Wild Duck Cafe being replaced, said Food Services director Murdoch. “The new student centre area will be significantlywastefree...[in the meantime] it would just cost too much for four to six months use,” he said.

A University of Waterloo graduate student has been put on probation after attacking another student on November IO. Tim Webster, 28, beat and bit fellow student Zhicheng Wang in a dispute over a mutual female friend after confronting him in his office. Webster was angry over Wang’s apparent interest and involvement with the same woman. After pleading guilty to assaulting and causing bodily harm, Webster was given a conditional discharge on Thursday November I 8 from a general division court During the attack Webster punched Wang in the face and mouth and suffered injuries to his teeth. Webster also bit one of the Wang’s fingers, causing several stitches to be required. According to the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, Justice Ron Sills said that he concluded from reports that the chances of a re-occurrence of the attack were “non-existent” As part of Webster’s I 8 months probation, Sills referred Webster and his victim to the regional victim-offender program. Both Webster and Wang are electrical engineering students.

hen you were just a wee lad or lass, chances are your mother or father told you that Santa Claus existed, and that he would come to your house on Christmas Eve and leave you presents under .a dying tree or in big red socks pinned to the fire place, from which the big, fat, heavily clothed man would emerge. And chances are, you believed it. Why did you do that? It is beyond physically impossible. And why, when you go to the movies, read xxAq or watch tv, do you become so emotionally entwined in the lives of people who could xobably never really exist, doing things that could hardly really happen? Why do you care Ibout Luke Skywalker, Mork, or Alice in wonderand? Why? B ecause you (and I) want to. The phenomenon is called suspension of disbelief, I believe. When confronted with a Dhysically or otherwise impossible situation or narrative, we suspend that nagging disbelief in xder to enjoy the story, characters, or setting. With that under wraps, why did mom and dad try and convince you that there was a large gray haired man who would squeeze himself down the chimney (even though you didn’t know Nhat that was or that your bungalow didn’t have me) and place gifts under that same tree with ittle cards attached written in the same handNriting which covers notes to your grade one :eacher? Were they lying to intentionally screw Nith your psyche, to warp your sense of reality, ‘arcing you to suffer greatly at the hands of your ianta-disbelieving peers? Did they not love you? No. They told you all this because they wanted to you to have a nice little fantasy which would exist outside the world of reality, one Nhich would help you, years down the road -ealize the distinction beween reality and fiction, aetween always taking things literally, and taking :hings with a little suspension of disbelief. Which brings me to my next topic, Back in :he early 17OOs, there was a fine writer by the lame ofjonathan Swift, who advocated the carvng up and eating of those pesky street children which were over-running the towns and villages n Ireland. He argued that eating them, and making clothing out of their skin etc., would alleviate the problem of their over abundance. Vow, of course he didn’t really mean this, in fact, le was trying to tell people not to get so excited ibout these kids and to mind their own business. 4e was, of course, invoking his favourite rhetori:a1device, irony. Would people really believe someone, toJay, who advocated eating aborted fetuses in Drder to solve the abortion problem? Of course :hey wouldn’t. That is about as ludicrous as a big ‘at man climbing down every chimney in the NorId in one single night. So why, when artists go :ompletely overboard with a certain piece of art, naking their statements seem so entirety impossibly politically incorrect, do people still insist on Feadingthem literally? Does nobody get it? Does lobody go to the movies anymore, causing their suspension of disbelief to thus deteriorate? When some piece of art or literature or Frrhatever seems to be making an extreme point, t is the duty ofthe reader/viewer to consider the >ossibility that she artist is sending ‘precisely the Dpposite message through the use of irony. If you we so disturbed by something, consider why that s, and contemplate the meaning of your situa:ion. just maybe the artist wants you to do just that, to discover for yourself your feelings on the matter at hand, through invoking the ironicvoice for rhetorical effect, through making you think. So don’t complain about things being incredibly immature or insensitive and and consider irony, for your sake as well as the artist’s, please. Oh, and don’t bother staying up for Santa anymore, cuz it’s really your dad that eats the cookies and drinks the milk Merry Christmas. ..-

The shortestwaywith separatists M

ISTER Brian Mulroney tells us a story in his speeches of a beaver that will have no rest while the frog is ri bbitting and the eagle is on the search for fresh beaver businesses to waffle to death with trade levies and punitive tariffs, putting it in danger of its life and prone to tear up sheets of paper in public until it cried out Pray gentlefolk, let us live in the forest together while it still stunds. THERE are some People in Canada, who wished to gain election seats, have now been reduced to a twain, are greatly in fear of being treated as they deserve, and preach about woeful beavers, forgetting that when they had power they frittered and appeased their way out of favour. It is now 23 years since there has been the problem of the FLQ seeking to bring crisis upon our fair land. The sort of weaklings who would have let separatists have their way in parliament have been swept away, leaving the Liberal left leaners back in power. Now the right leaners find themselves in trouble and beg for status as a national party. Sorry, no mercy for you, your time has passed, you should have been smarter before if you expect mercy yourselves. We have been huffed and bullied by your constitutional appeasements, English speakers have been embarrassed by Bill IO I and the contentious idea of Distinct Society. Now the separatistS want to take the transfer payments and run, something that those hodge-podge Shamrock Summit leaders might have allowed, who let our taxes pay for the farce of a war in the Gulf that you got nothing by. You have Butchered Trudeau, Deposed Mulroney, and made a mode leader of Campbell, and yet you expect to be trusted as the Official Opposition; God be thanked that we have brought the Constitution back to Canada and the Queen is out of your reach. .The known Laws of the Nation were executed in I970 and the FLQ crisis can never be called Persecution, but Justice. Justice is always violent to the offending Party, for every man is innocent in his own eyes, but if they don’t like it they can go back to France and eat cake. To receive the leniency of the government, they blew up mailboxes, murdered,ministers, and destroyed the fabric of Confederation. Instead

3, 1993

the separatists, like the FLQ, would have engulfed us in civil war. P.M. Trudeau, as if wisdom was part of his sex appeal, gave favour to the Quebec leaders. Not even the betrayal of Rene Levesque forced him to move against the moderate separatists; the mistaken prince sought to win them by peace and love and federal spending. Now, the late government is too fresh in the Memory of voters to see how, under pretence of joining with the provinces to redress some grievances, they made him so unpopular after losing the referendum that he was deposed and forced to find a directorship. But we need onty look so far as the former Soviet Union to see what happens when separatists have their way, where laws are trampled as well as idealists, hardliners, and parliamentarians. And now to prevent the distant cloud ofglobal trading blocs from snapping us in two, NAFTA was conceded to and our divine welfare and medicare might suffer a slow death. But there is stilt resistance in the provinces, and they may still win. THESE are the 54 who have mistreated sovereignty and social programs. Why should we still favour them and their right wing adventurism? First, there are a lot of them. But they are not as numerous as the Republicans were in the States, and Bill Clinton got rid of them PDQ. Zdly. The more there are means more to worry about and to editorialize. 3dly. We still ought to try to suppress them. ANOTHER argument to use is that we have a common enemy to fight together: the recession. But, this enemy we made ourselves; we still have to be wary of our private enemies. We must not be frightened; this age is wiser then the Seventies when we learned about excess. There are some popular objections: Firstly, they have the constitutional right to exist and to have free speech. WHAT the constitution says is one thing, but what it ought to say is another. The constitution is designed to protect its citizens, as well it ought to, since it does not protect citizens’ rig!? to destroy their country. Perhaps it can be said that the country is in no immediate danger from separatists, but this is a

weak answer. For first, a danger is just that, and must be heeded for its warning. And second, this is an opportunity for Canada to destroy her enemies. If you will be free, you must act now. Pull up the dividing weed of Sedition that disturbs our peace. It is cruel to kilt a snake or a frog, but it is good for us to prevent their poisons from infecting too many innocents. Let severe laws be made to save the state, and let people be hanged if they wilt not support the laws, for there can be no higher crime than sinning against the state. A wise pundit recently wrote of the incompetence of the former government, and now that the Tories are out of fashion, their brand ofconformity

is hopefdb also out off&our. Now if the government of Canada is the true government, why should we let such criminals off so tightly? There is no question but we should be wiser for it, for they will see that the laws are harsh, they don’t have the mandate of Heaven, and the Face of God frowns in their general direction. The disease will be cured, and we will need neither operation or local anesthetic. There wilt be no cruelty, and Canadians can have the peace they deserve. THEIR population and their prosperity make them proud, but we have numbers and wealth too, and this is a warning to us to realize what we’re doing and act AND what may happen if we don’t act? Should the idea of watching nothing but French programming on television be too much to imagine? Foreigners will come from French-speaking lands to become more Canadian than we ourselves are. IF it could be done smoothly and with political correctness, I’d be glad, but if the wages of compassion and tenderness are death, all arguments are in vain. WHAT’S the difference between this and being conquered by the USAJf we are to lose our identity

Watch those allomorphs To the editor: I’m writing in response to the Nov. 26th article by the “Womyn’s Centre collective.” I would like to address two points: The spelling of the word woman, and what the so called backlash is. At various times the singular “woman” has been spelt wifman, wimman, wymman, wyfman, wumman, womane, whoman and wooman among others. The plural form has sometimes been spelt with a Y. For example, in the 1400’s Raoul Lefevre wrote a book called Destruction of Troy in which he writes, “The wemyn welt horn to ground with swappis of hor swordes.” (See the Oxford English Dictionary.) The etymology of the word is undeniably offensive: ‘Woman” is derived from wo (wife) + man (human being). In other words, historically, “woman” meant “wife of a human being.” (I would feel insulted!) However, I can’t imagine how reverting to an archaic form of the word is going to help. Instead it would seem to make things worse by bringing the word closer to its insulting roots. Furthermore, if I were going to change it I would be most upset a&out the wo which meant wife and not the man which meant human being. Finally, English is a spoken language. If the morphemes that make up the word “woman” are insulting, chang ing their spelling won’t help. Even if you change their pronunciation “myn”, “mot?‘, “min”, and “mane”, etc., are still forms of the morphemes”man” or “men”.

Now, how are we 10 define backlash? If “backlash” is the name for the views of people who oppose women’s rights then it is a reprehensible thing. On the other hand, perhaps “backlash” is simpty a name some feminists give to the views of any woman or man they don’t agree with. Perhaps some of the “backlash” has nothing to do with opposition to women’s rights, but rather differences of opinion on how to get there. To be blunt: When you assert things that are ridiculous, silly, or unjust, people will oppose you. If people oppose some feminists who are being ridiculous, silly, or unjust, it doesn’t mean they oppose feminism. It means they’re demonstrating some common sense and pointing out that some feminists no longer have both feet firmly planted on the ground. Please, come back down to Earth.

Anaer aood- ---*-r;cviolence bad To the Editorr

Men and Womyn have a need to be angry. Anger is a natural, healthy emotion. When expressed properly it will abate, and healing can begin. Viol lence is quite a different thing. Violence

forum

is not caused by anger. On an interpersonal level violence results from ignorance of constructive outlets for anger. But it can also result from a denial of anger. Therefore it is a destructive act to deny anger. This leads me to believe that the Womyn’s Centre needs to allow men to be angry at them if they feel that way. No doubt, it seems true that Womyn’s Centre policies inspiring anger must have an inherent value. Such policies cut close to the bone. However, this is a fragile assessment, because when any individual feels threatened s/he tends to become blind to any issues that are raised. Turning to speculate on the question originally raised by the Womyn’s Centre article: Why all the (male) anger (backlash)? Well, for one, I would like to suggest that backlash is not the same thing as anger. Backlash represents violence. Furthermore, I suggest that it is important to separate backlash on an interpersonal level from backtash on a macro scale. First of all, if the backlash-in-question represents frustrated anger on an interpersonal level then, indeed, it follows that it is because such men feel threatened. I suspect the doctrine of “empowerment for men”, with its critical assumption of gender role reevaluation, is the threatening thing. Coming from a (cereainly laudable and valuable) group exclusive to Womyn, “empowerment for men” must admittedly be a necessarily illegitimate premise, even though it may be valid in theory. No one likes to be told what to do, as feminists must certainly be aware. Therefore, if this is what has caused anger on an interpersonal level, then it makes all the sense in the world to avoid a reaction of denying the anger itself, if it is to abate, and a dialogue to continue. But this is merely my own theory, and it may be flawed. However, if some of the backlash against the Womyn’s Centre is on a macro scale, then the Womyn’s Centre’s strategy must be quite different. And it seems to me that the Centre has been and must continue to be effective in this larger sphere. For on a macro scale violence is organized. One can see that, in general, macro scale violence is often almost completely removed from anger. Broad, perhaps controversial, examples of macro scale violence are Canadian “peacekeeping”, the “War on Drugs”, etc. This organized violence can only be confronted effectively by other organizations. “Backlash”, then, representing reactionary violence, should be understood as a complex phenomenon, since it may be on several levels. There may be underlying anger, or the motive may be more along the lines of a cold and calculating power struggle. So there are problems. Acting in the world may create anger in some. Sut anger is a healthy, natural emotion, not less so men’s anger. The Womyn’s Centre should

Welfare for undesiring

Write a letter to the editor-tells us what you want for Christmastell us how you’ve been naughty [and nice too if you absolutely must, but make it short and don’t get too mushy or lovey, we hate that stuff.)

I was surprised and concerned, last month, to find out that I had been the recipient of a Welfare cheque worth $1,596. Although I live in Kitchenerand attend the University of Waterloo, some of my mail is still sent to my parents address in Port Hope. I gave my mother permission to open my mail while I spoke to her on the phone. Inside the envelope addressed to “Ms. Anthony T. Austin” was the cheque as well as a drug and dental plan card. The cheque also informed me that $250 of that cheque was for winter clothing for my two children, (which needless to say I don’t have). t am 22-years-old and live with my fiancee Michelle Sadder. The only type of government assistance I have ever applied for is a student loan - I have been rejected three years running. How can a mistake of this proportion happen? And furthermore, what is the message that this episode sends? My parents are hardworking, middleclass people. They do not own their house yet nor do they own their car, but they do pay their bills and their taxes on time. Our family does not have an abundance of money but we do have an abundance of wealth in what our family is and what it represents. Then there is Michelle and I. We both work full-time while we try to put ourselves through university, This is not an easy task but when you want something you have to work for it (read-instilled family values). I have never I asked for a handout, that is not my style. What I did ask for was a student loan. 1 asked the Government of Ontario to show some faith in my ability and to sponsor, in part, my pursuit with great rewards for those who wish to work for them - I am one such person. What is the message our government is sending me? By sending me the first cheque of a social assistance package the government is telling me that although our debt and deficit are at all time highs, and although our province is strapped for expendable monies; our

government is telling me that it could not be bothered to find out that I never applied for welfare and that there was no eligible recipient for that cheque. 6y dismissing my application for a student loan the Ontario Government forced me to postpone my graduation for a year. Working full-time does not lend itself to the completion of a full university course load. This postponement has cost me between $20,000$40,000 in lost salary. A salary that I would have paid income tax on, a salary that I would have purchased an automobile with, (Canadian made of course) and a salary that I would have spent on goods that I would be required to pay provincial sales tax on. If added up, that

is a major influx of monies into the economy and the government tax pool. Keeping in mind that I would also be paying back my student loan. I would recommend to the Government of Ontario that if they want its citizens to bear the brunt of our economy’s recovery it is in their best interest to keep a tighter reign on where the tax money goes. instead of sending social assistance to families that do not exist, that money would be better off spend by actual members of our society who want the province’s direction to be forward, not under.

RESPONSE

TO LETTERS

above)

Ellen

Well, I wrestled with myself for some time over whether or not to use this space to respond to letters. I suspected that doing so would put me in the category of those who can’t leave well enough alone. Then I got to thinking about those who put the time and effort to write and thought “dammit, these people deserve a response:” Kevin Fergin-You wondered if I knew that if I had been living in the time of Christ, and I had remarked that god was a hoary old bugger, I “could have been punished by death”, Thanks for the warning! Your letter came just in the nick of time. As it so happens, I was planning a little jaunt back to ancient judaea and your letter prevented me from committing a rather costly faux pas. Thanks again! Kevin Smith-I’ll try to briefly address a couple of your points. First, I agree that, in some respects, referring to god as a hoary old bugger is “meaningless noise” especially coming from an atheist. As I don’t believe in god, you have to take any attributes that I might ascribe to him with a pillar of salt. In this case though, I was playing upon the conception of a white-bearded Old Testament deity of blood and thunder describing god as I would any other character of any other book, in much the same way as I might refer to Hamlet as an indecisive mushhead. Now you might point out that Hamlet is widely acknowledged to be fictional whereas god is not and that I should respect this. This brings me to your second point about irreverence serving no purpose. I beg to differ on this one. Displaying reverence for beliefs which I find absurd or even harmful belies my position on these issues; I prefer to be candid so that I will not be misunderstood. Even though I would argue that arguments in favour of god’s existence are all false I do feel that some are better thought out than others and I do recognize that some points that theists bring up deserve respectful answers. When I address these points and arguments I don’t display such an aggressive disrespect. However some people bring up points which I do feel are stupid and insulting in which case I treat these points in a manner that i feel is appropriate. (see

Hemp HEMP:

Lifeline

to the Future

by Chris Conrad Creative Xpressions Publications, L.A. California $19.95 paperback, 3 I I pages

review special

3, I993

friday, Qecember

by Dave Thomson to Imprint

The movement to re-legalize the hemp plant is one that many students are likely familiar with; many may have even read Jack Herer’s groundbreaking Hemp und the Marijuana Conspirucy: The hporer wems no clothes, now three years old. Hemp: /ifeline to the fiture has a less intimidating tone that Herer’s publication, and doesn’t assume the reader is one of the converted. It speaks to every question ever raised in the relegalization debate, and the extensive foomoting makes it evident that the author has done his homework. Lifeline to the Future is separated into three parts, the first ofwhich outlines the 5,000 year-old history of the plant’s agricultural and medicinal usages, and the events leading to its eventual prohibition. Cannabis has a rich cultural history around the world, and diaries of early explorers and American presidents remarking on hemp’s virtues seem beyond belief in an era when citizens are sent to jail for growing it. Particularly interesting is the alleged conspiracy behind the plant’s prohibition. Cultivation of hemp was effectively banned in America in I937 with pressure from DuPont, the Hearst newspaper chain and other industrialists, at a time when the industry was just taking off. Five short years later, however, the government temporarily ordered farmers to grow it again in order to help produce fibers for rope, sails, parachutes and other war time supplies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture even produced a film about hemp to rally farmers to the cause, titled “Hemp for Victory.” The second section thoroughly details an incredulous number of uses for the plant’s fibers and medicinal components. Cannabis hemp can replace trees in the production of paper, make durable clothes and strong rope, relieve PMS pains and menstrual cramps, or be used as a

Dilgert-I really don’t see how you can draw a connection between my criticism of certain beliefs, no matter how blunt, and the promotion of hate and racism. Where did I ever say that I hated anyone? In what way am I discriminating against you? By not accepting your beliefs? You claim that I told you and many others that “we do not have grounds on which we may call ourselves human.” This is not quite true. I simply asked, of those who accept the literal truth of the Bible, on what grounds they called themselves human. This was not a rhetorical question. I trulywant to know how one can call themselves human and accept a literal interpretation of Leviticus 20: 13: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” It is with this sort of thing in mind that I refer to the Bible as meanspirited nonsense rather than a holy work which “tells of God’s love for us.” If this passage does not promote hatred, then I don’t know what does. Hold on, I take it back, the Bible doesn’t say that we should hate homosexuals, only that they engage in an “abomination” and that “they shall surely be put to death.” Kevin McGowan-While religious issues are steeped in “deep philosophical theory” religion is fairly cut and dry in that one has to decide whether to obey religious doctrine or not. Sooner or later we have to act. On strictly practical grounds agnosticism is untenable. You will either follow the tenants of a given religion, or you won’t. Simon

is God topical disinfectant, among hundreds of other uses. The Los Angeles-based Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp (BACH) estimates that there are over 50,000 commerically viable uses for the plant. (And no, one cannot smoke clothes manufactured with hemp to get high.) Although such claims may initially seem wildy improbable, the extensive footnoting contains references to authoratative sources like Newsweek, I%.# & PaperJournal, the U.S. Deparment ofAgricuC ture, the New Englandlournol ofMedicine, and so on. And quotingwell-known conservatives like William F. Buckley as saying “the anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies . . .” lends further credibility to the re-legalization argument. The final section ofthe book is left to address the issues of social marijuana use and “the hidden price tag of prohibition.” It is here that Conrad compares problems arising from tobacco and alcohol use to marijuana use, drawing the wellknown conclusion that our legal drugs are far more lethal. There are no documented deaths resulting from marijuana use, whereas the casualties from alcohol and tobacco are staggering. He even has calculated the financial cost of arresting and incarcerating someone for possessing the drug, arguing that decriminalization of marijuana would improve the economy, because more people could be working and paying taxes instead of sitting in a prison cell. Although the benefits of hemp are many, it is especially important in the 1990s as a viable environmentally-friendly source of energy, pulp, paper, and other products. An acre of hemp, for example, can produce four times as much paper as an acre of trees, but takes only months to grow. During the second World War, people discovered that hemp could provide enough energy to power the machines that process it, and leave a fifty percent surplus. The front cover of this book bills hemp as “the unexpected answer for our environmental and economic recovery,‘* a large claim by any standards, but one that Conrad shores up with more than ample evidence. rifeline to tie Future is the most detailed and coherent book yet to tackle the subject of re-legalizing hemp.

Take three nqt unrelated news items: the children who set fire to their house because of

quences it may incidentally cause. If we were to proceed from this premise, then we could

Beavis and Butthead, teenagers killing themselves because of a Judas Priest song, and the teenage football players killed on a highway because of mimicking a scene from the movie “The Program.” These three incidents, and countless like them occur every day, and it simply boggles my mind the lengths people will go to avoid facing the real root of these problems. According to these people {let’s just call them the MORAL MAJORITY) thesolution to all of the above problems can be found in censorship. If we ban Beavis and Butthead, ban heavy metal, and cut the scene from The Program, then we can prevent such unfortunate incidents from happening again. If only it were so easy. And it is the simple-mindedness ofthese solutions that boggles me. Do such people as these exist? Is there anyone so stupid as to think that these solutions would work? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Now this may seem a little pretentious, but I do consider it beneath me to show why these reasons are wrong. (And I would consider it insulting to you, dear reader.) What, then, is the solution to these types of problems. How do we prevent individuals, especially children from doing irresponsible and stupid things as a result ofseeing others do the same. Well, banning those bad influences is a simple case of treating the symptom and not the problem. Countless more bad influences will arise and it seems ridiculous to try and come to some sort of agreement on what standards we wilI try and set. The onus is, quite simply, on the parents. How we are raised, the values stressed to us :and our conception of what is right and wrong, and what is smart and stupid, depends largely (although obviously not entirely) on the way we are brought up. Nothing can be blamed for the conse-

take the Great Crusades, the burning ofwitches and the Jimmy Swaggarts of the world and use that as an excuse to ban Christianity, or all religion for that matter. Take even something like Mein Kampf, Do we consider it a justifiable excuse from an SS officer that he read the book, so the book is really to blame? Obviously not, so then why can anyone think that banning the book would somehow stop an atrocity from occurring. Basically, my point is this. People are stupid and evil, and there is something terribly wrong with us. Banning books won’t stop anything, and banning cartoons certainly won’t. Part of what is wrong with us is that we are too stupid to see what is happening around us. We like to treat the obvious problem and don’t really think about issues long enough before we act. I freely admit that this includes me, so don’t go rolling your eyes just quite yet. If there is one thing we do right, it is at least admit our fallibility and try, through a free exchange of ideas, to come up with something better. One of the ideas that we have come up with is that of freedom of expression. We allow other people to do and say what they want as long as this does not harm us. But of course, there’s the catch. How do we decide upon whether or not something is hurting us. Well the obvious way I decide is by asking me. If I choose to read or see something, it’s up to me. If I go and do something really stupid injuring me or someone else, then I cannot shift the blame on to someone or something else. It’s a lot harder to tell someone who has injured themselves that they were the ones to blame, but only by taking responsibility for ourselves, are we ever going to get out of the mentality that other people and other things are to blame for our actions. We are the ones who make our beds, and we are the ones who must lie in them.

“HE (GOD) created the heavens without any pillars that you can see; HE set on the Earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and HE scattered through it beasts of all kinds. WE (GOD) sent down rain from the sky, and produced (plants) of every goodly kind therein, in pairs.” -translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verse [3 I : IO]

THE GEOLOGICAL, CONCEPT OF MOUNTMNe All current definitions of mountains, both literal and scientific (e.g. definitions in ‘The Dictionary of Geological Terms’, ‘A Dictionary of the Natural Environment’, ‘The New Encyclopedia Britannica’, and ‘The Encyclopedia Americana’), restrict themselves to the conspicuous protrusion of such landforms above their surroundings, their high peaks and steep sides, as well as their presence in either complex ranges, systems, chains, and cordilleras that run more or less parallel to each other or in single prominences. In other words, all current definitions of mountains are restricted to the outer morphology of such landforms, without the slightest notion to their subsurface extensions which have been lately proved to be several times their outward heights. Does the Qur’an say something about mountains? Let us see. The word ‘mountain’ is explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an 39 times, and is clearly implied in IO other verses. This article highlights the fact that the Qur’an consistently describes mountains as: (I) Stabilizers for the Earth’s surface which hold it firmly lest it should shake with us (please, refer to the opening Qur’anic verse of this article). (2) Pickets (or pegs) for the Earth thar hold its surface (i.e. the Earth’s lithosphere) down as a means of fixation. “Have WE (GOD) not made the Eatih as a wide expanse and the mountains as pegs?“[Qur’an 78:6-q (3) Non-stationary bodies that follow the movements of the Earth. “You see the mountains and think them firmly fixed; but they pass away as the clouds pass away; (such is) the artistry of

ALLAH (GOD), Who disposes of all things in perfect order; for HE (GOD) is Well Acquainted with all that you do.” [Qur’an 27:88] In very simple words, the Qur’an described the outward protrusion of mountains on the Earth’s surface, emphasized their great downward extensions within the Earth’s crust, and defined their exact role as pickets and means of fixation for that crust. Such knowledge was revealed more than I2 centuries before human started to wonder whether or not mountains could have roots below its outcropping parts, and before s/he could realize any value for the existence of mountains on the surface of our globe, a value that is only being currently conceived by avery limited number of specialists in the field of Earth Sciences. Such explicit, precise, and comprehensive scientific statements in the Qur’an provide eloquent testimony to the belief that the Qur’an is the Word of the Creator. Hence, the basic source of Divine guidance to humans, at a time when, all previous revelations have either been lost or distorted.

JapaneseAnimation by David Special

de Jong

to Imprint

A lot of you may have seen or heard of Hideki Takayama’s Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, which was shown at Waterloo’s Princess Street Cinema during the week of October 6. Those who saw it may have been disgusted, offended, or excited by its orgiastic fury of sex and mangled bodies. I numbered among those who were scared. It was not the images on the screen that frightened me. It was the possibility that this film was going to be many people’s first exposure to Japanese Animation, of which there is a much greater and more delightful variety than what Overfiend pummels us with. Overfiend was correctly billed as ‘The first Japanese “erotic grotesque” to land a North American theatrical release’ by the Princess Cinema Film Guide. Its release at the Princess was accompanied by some serious advertising, with posters on campus and a neat little box with graphics on the front page of the film guide, toting it as “Japanimation beyond imagination” and “definitelj not for all t&s*‘. The warning was well deserved. From the attendanceon the first night 1could guess it drew in quite a crowd over the six nights it played. Overfiend had the magnetism very similar to that of a fatal car accident. Some of these film-goers were alreadyfamiliar with Japanese Animation, which is also called Anime, but I suspect that the majority of the viewers, as well as most of the people who heard about it second hand, will have formed an impression of this media based only on Overfiend, and perhaps the one other major North American Anime release -- Akiro. Akira is incredibly well done. The animation and music are superb, whereas Ove4end’s are merely passable. However, the story is extremely difficult to follow. Akiru is also extremely violent and unsettling, though it has no more sexual content then the average action film. Both films show some of the extremes that Anime is capable of. Neither give any idea of the true breadth of subject matter that Anime has covered, both being only examples of the darkest of Anime. Anime runs the gamut of possible subject matter. Playful mythical creatures living in the forest next door, slapstick defenders of earth from alien invaders, comedic hijinks of master thieves. Anime has done them all. Well. There are two things that distinguish Anime: its typical characterization of humans with doe eyes and tall thin forms, and its extremeness. No matter what the subject matter -- comedy, drama, horror, science-fiction, sex, or adventure -- Anime will present it in its extreme. It would be truly sad if Anime was relegated to that part of people’s minds where they store tabloids, sado-masochism and car crashes. They would deny themselves the incredible experience of films that are very comparable to ET., Star Wars, and Beauty and the Beast The movies that form the cream of the Anime crop are entertainment at their best, and no one should deny themselves the opportunity to see them. On Friday December 3rd. in AL I 16, The Club That Really Likes Anime, also known as CTRL-A, or Control-A, will be presenting some of the best feature length Anime ever made, the films of Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki is widely regarded as a creative genius in Anime today. Four of his five major

The Country Thang

motion pictures will be shown, beginning at 4:30 pm, in this order: Kiki’s Delivev Setice, Nausicaa und the Valley ofthe Wind, his newest release The Crimson Pig (Porcoroso), and Laputa: Gustie in the

Sky. These films are definitely not feasts of violence or sex. There are no bodies being ripped to shreds, no threatening pseudo-phalluses. The first film, K&i’s Delivery Service, includes detailed observations of western culture subtly weaved into the coming of age story of a young witch. Nuusicaa and the Valley ofthe Wind compares understanding with confrontation as humanity must deal with a world whose environment is collapsing in on them. Pervasive through Miyazaki’s works are his passion for flying and flying machines. He will take you roller-coasting through the clouds, sweeping along where no camera could possibb go in “real” life. The Crimson pig is an absolute “must see” for any World War I aviation buffs. Its literally pigfaced hero battles with air pirates over the postwar Mediterranean with accurate recreations of the planes that might have been used. The final feature will be Laputo: Cc&e in the Sky. Inspired by a passage from Gulliver’s Travels, M iyaza ki follows the adventures of two adolescents, thrown together by fate, to a climax you will never forget These are movies that will make you go “WOW!“. You will fall in love with Miyazaki’s characters. He will capture your heart with his thoughtful stories. His artwork will take you to other worlds that might have been, from the Victorian era science fiction of Laputa’s flying machines, to the completely recreated eco-systern of the world that Nausicaa inhabits. Attendees of the last CTRL-A showing may remember the popular Castle Cagliostro, in which Miyazaki collaborated to make Lupin II a timeless and hilarious hero. Other Anime buffs may be familiar with his fifth major work, My Neighbour Totoro, which is currently under negotiation to be theatrically released in North America by Twentieth Century fox. The rest of the Miyazaki films will hopefully follow soon, but until that happens, these kind of showings will be the only ways to appreciate these films as they should be seen -- on a big screen! CTRL-A is a University of Waterloo student club. It holds several free showings of Anime each term to which first time guests and members are always welcome. Four feature-length films will be shown at this next movie night, so it will last until approximately midnight. CTRL-A will be serving pizza and pop. Please take this opportunity to experience some of the classics of Anime.

uw 8t the cutting edge of excessive food waste reduction by Tasha Lackman Elena

and

Johnson

0zzTmvTstm Excessive food waste on campus is an avoidable problem. The Universiv of Waterloo generates between 150-200 tons of garbage per month. Last year 27% of this consisted of food waste, but due to new food waste reduction measures this percentage has dropped significantly. Much of this food waste could be diverted, and does not have to go to landfill sites which are quickly reaching capacity. This immense waste generation is both very costly and unecological. Tipping fees, which are the cost per ton of garbage at a landfill site, are $90 at the Erb Street landfill, and are projected to rise significantly in the future. Presently, the average monthly garbage costs is $ I 5 750. In food wastes, the costs are between approximately $3 600 and $4 800. In one month, the University pays up to three semesters of a student’s tuition on garbage disposal.

There

are alternatives

The University of Waterloo has shown some initiative as an environmental leader, but there is still room for greater improvement. WATgreen, which uses students, faculty and staff in a combined effort to make the campus into a sustainable ecosystem, is responsible for many examples of the environmental progress on campus. Some students from the Faculty of Environmental Studies and the Department of Systems Design Engineering get involved in WATgreen projects that could make a difference on campus, and then make recommendations

tion is reuse, for example, cooking grease is picked up by a soap and glycerin facility. Another measure is the reuse of food by the kitchen staff. For example, vegetable stalks, peelings and trimmings collected are used in soups and stews and excess spaghetti sauce and hamburgers are used to make chili, These conservation methods are very valuable, not only environmentally, but also because they re-

to the administration on how these projects could be implemented. Although these projects are valuable to the administration, in many cases they are simply used as background information, read and shelved. Consequently, students feel discouraged and some even go as far as calling WATgreen propaganda. University of Waterloo Waste Management Coordinator Patti Cook

In I month, UWpays up to 3 semesters of a student’s tuition on garbage disposal. emphasized that lackof funds is a major barrier to implementing projects. Also, she explained that processes in administration happen very slowly, and that often students who feel that their ideas were discarded have simply not given the administration enough time to run its course, and eventually many of the projects are implemented. “PATgreen] is an exercise in how bureaucracy and administration work,” explained Cook. Even if nothing else comes of it, WATgreen is an effective method for students to get involved in local environmental issues, and obtain valuable experience in dealing with administration.

Unfortunately, Another

method of diverting food

waste from landfills is composting, which is the biological process of decomposing organic waste to make a soil conditioner or fertilizer. According to James Kay, a professor in the Department of Environmental and Resource Studies, composting is feasible on a very small scale, such as an apartment worm composter or in a backyard and on a very large scale, such as the City of Guelph’s proposed Wet/Dry Facility. Unfortunately, the amount of compostable food waste that Food Services generates falls between these two levels and is not feasible. Although Food Services is not composting, it is being done in various other places on campus, A successful

stated

that

composting as well as the idea of food waste as animal food are not solutions to the waste problem, but are treating the symptoms of an overabundance of waste. The ideal method of waste reduction, not only for food waste but for all waste, is a change in lifestyle. People must become more aware of the waste they generate, and reduce all the unnecessary waste. This includes simple measures such as only taking the joad that can be eaten, so that food is not thrown away. This is not to say that methods including composting and food waste as animal feed are insignificant. On the contrary, they are very valuable and effective, but they are not the only answer. The answer to the waste problem starts with individuals making responsible choices. Food Services, Waste Management and WATgreen are continuing to work together to provide UW students with the opportunity to make environmentally sound decisions concerning food waste. “I haven’t lost hope, and I’m the one that’s working on it and getting depressed,” exclaimed Cook.

The week before, McMaster played just as they appear: ugly and incredibly stupid, hitting straight ahead into the wall of the Plague’s block, or sending balls into the bleachers out of bounds. Sure, the Marauders put a few balls into the floor, but when the game was over, the Plague won in four games (15-12, 14-16, 15-l I, and IS-9), successfully wrapping up first place in the

The Waterloo hockey men had hoped to go into the Christmas break with at least a .500 record, but the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks got in the way on Wednesday night, leaving the Warriors at 4-5-2. Waterloo managed to keep it close until late in the third period, when Laurier scored several times in succession for a 7-3 final score. Captain of the Warriors, Geoff Schneider, stated that “it wasn’t a 7-3 game until the last ten minutes,” further describing the game as “brutal, just brutal.” Schneider can be proud of his play, however, as he potted one of the Warrior’s goals, and was honoured with the player of the game award for the Waterloo side. The first periqd was a choppy affair, with no real flow, and plenty of miscues on the part of both teams, exemplified by the first two goals. Laurier opened the scoring 24 seconds into the game, as normally unflappable goaltender James Organ was hog-tied on a knuckleball shot that hit his glove, dropped to the ice, and

It seems like an eternity ago that the Waterloo Warrior basketball team thrashed the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks three weeks ago tonight in the first round of the Naismith Classic. Since that enjoyable Hawk roast, the Warriors have endured a series of inconsistent outings, first at the Naismith and then in other exhibition PlaYa Finally, last weekend, they mt back to some seriWaterloo 80 ous s hitkicking at a tournament hosted by the Guetph Gryphons. First, on Friday night, the team lost 94-80 to an American school, Cedarville College, at the PAC. On Saturday, they travelled to Guelph to take out their frustration by garroting an unfortunate Queen’s Golden Gaels team 96-67, On Sunday, Waterloo pounded the Ryerson Rams 99-82 to finish the tournament 20. This tourney Waterloo 99, did not feature a championship round and the 2-O Guelph Gryphons were awarded thegold based on point differential. The Ii’-point margin of victory over the Rams was a good thing to see, considering that the Warriors beat the same team by only seven on the previous weekend at a University of Toronto tournament.

top-tens The varsity swim team sure was busy tast weekend. The Warrior and Athena teams travetled to the University of Toronto on Friday for two separate meets with most Ontario schools present, along with a couple from Quebec. And the Athenas also braved the elements and ventured to McMaster University in Hamilton for a women’s invitational meet. At Toronto, both the women and the men placed seventh overall. The competition was tough, but it aided in producing some excellent swims and numerous personal best times by many Athenas and Warriors. Excellent performances were seen by veteran Ian Hunt, who sprinted through the IOOmetre fly in 058.90, faster than the CtAU-qualifying time. Also making Waterloo swimming history were Warriors Chris Nagy and Ed Furs with times of 059.87 and I :00.34, which placed in the all-time top-ten list for the 100-metre fly. Veteran Amy Jarvis improved her 400-metre free time with a 4:40.52. In the top-ten list, she

also moved into the 200-metre free rankings with a time of 2:38. Tereza Mace1 is shedding her rookie mantle by making her mark in UW swimming history. Mace1 made the Athena top-ten ran kings with her performance of 236.59 in the 200-metre individual medley and 9:35. I3 in the 800-metre free. Rookie Deanna Hylwka is also achieving topten rankings in the backstroke events with times of 0:34.89 in the 50-metre and 2:35.2 I in the 200metre back. jn the breaststroke events, team captain Kara Rice also greatly improved her time and standing in the top-ten in the IOO-metre breast going I:2 I .63. Superb placings and swims were seen at all three meets. The team seems to be quite enthusiastic and eager to conquer some of the teams that have previously beat Waterloo. This weekend, the team is on the road again to Hamilton for a tri-meet with McMaster and that so-called team from York. During Christmas break, the teams travel to Florida for a training camp from December 26-30. Their next league action is a meet at the University of Toronto on Saturday, January 8, 1994.

In varsity curling action last Saturday, the Athenas were right on the button. Capturingthe gold medal at the University of Western Ontario’s Invitational Bonspiel, the women’s team, skipped by Margaret Corey, with third Jodi Kerr, second Jennifer Smith and lead Kathy Freeman, trounced the Wilfrid Laurier

Golden Hawks and the Western Mustangs in their first two games. In the third draw, the UW junior women’s rink put on the pressure, coming out victorious against the Athenas. The silver medal went to Laurier, and Western picked up the bronze. The team’s next action is a return to UWO on Saturday, January t 5 and Sunday, January 16, 1994 for a west sectional.

Sure, it may be a bit late in the National Football League season to start a prognostication column, but, heck, when I see how terrible socalled professional sports journalists are at picking NFL games against the spread (take a look at the Star or Sun picks sometime), I figure I’m pretty insulated against embarrassment So, here goes some of this weeks picks: (Home teams are capitalized.) BUFFALO by 7.5 versus LA. Raiders The Bills didn’t just lose last weekend in K.C., they were beaten up and embarrassed. Usually, when returning home to Rich Stadium after such a debacle, this team responds with a four or fivetout hdown victory. And what better team to do it to than the Raiders? L.A. is also coming off a tough loss to the Bengals, but it’s harder to take out that frustration on the road than at home, especially when that holiday destination is Buffalo, where the Raiders have a history of allowing a basketball score. Kelly’s injury won’t matter. Take those Bills, give those points. New Orleans by 4.5 at CLEVELAND The noose will get tighter for Cleveland head coach Bill Belichick this weekend. The Saints bounced back from that 49er Monday-Night embarrassment to nip the Vikings on the road last Sunday. Their momentum should continue. Sure, Todd Philcox looked impressive in the Browns’ comeback bid against the Falcons, but that was against Atlanta’s cheesy defence. The Saints’ pass rush should put him in a world o’ hurt. Take the Saints and throw the points away. HOUSTON by 7.5 versus Atlanta Recent trends should tell the tale: Atlanta scraped by the Browns last weekend, white the Oilers manhandled the surging Steelers. But is Houston’s momentum good enough for a touchdown-plus spread? At home, yes. The Falcons are second only to the lowly Colts in yards allowed and we all know what Warren Moon likes to do to teams with shitty defences. Houston minus the points. DETROIT by 3 versus Minnesota If the Vikings can play with the Saints, then how the heck can the Barry Sanders-less Lions be

picks

three-point picks? The only thing Detroit has going for it is a I O-day rest between home games. That ain’t gonna be enough, not when two teams with great defences and mediocre offences lock horns. Without Sanders, the Lions won’t be able to keep the Viking pass rush honest or control the pace of the game. Take Minnesota and the points. CHICAGO by I versus Green Bay The winner of this game looks to be in good shape for at least a wildcard and probably the NFC Central title. They are also indistinguishable. Brett Favre and Jim Harbaugh are very close in quarterback rating, but Favre has made a lot more attempts. The Packers have Sterling Sharpe, but the Bears can run the ball with Anderson. Both teams are accustomed to outdoor, grass fields. They are tough divisional rivals. So what do you do? Take the home team, for lack of better reasoning. Chicago minus one. TAMPA BAY by I .5 versus Washington What would you have bet two months ago that Tampa Bay would be 3-8 and stilt have a better record than the ‘Skins? PITTSBURGH by 9.5 versus New England Last Sunday’s loss to the Oilers dropped the Steelers’s record to 6-S and they know that they have to win all of their remaining games to have a chance at the playoffs. The t -IO Patriots have played a lot of teams tough this season, but they won’t have the horses to win at Three Rivers. SAN DIEGO by I.5 versus Denver This game opened as a pick ‘em after Denver needed a cheesy pass interference call to stave off a Seahawks comeback last weekend. But then the Chargers whomped the Colts 3 I-O on Monday night and their stock rose to a lofty point and a half. The teams have comparable defence, but Denver clearly has the edge on offence {NFL 4th in yards gained, 2nd in points scored). Elway’s having his best year ever, but vide receiver Vance johnson is gone for the season with a fractured ankle. Denver’s pass defence is decent, but that’s because everyone knows they can throw on the Broncos’ secondary, which ranks dead last in the NFL in passing yards allowed. PHOENIX by 7 versus L.A. Rams Both teams are 3-8, but it’s quite clear that Phoenix is the better team. A touchdown better? Sure.

equally impressive &of- 14 field goal shooting. Urosevic was named to the tournament all-star team. UW used the charity stripe to its advantage throughout the game, hitting 35 free throws and shooting an amazing 8 I per cent as a team. Sean VanKoughnett continued his shooting woes, hitting only one of his eight three-point attempts and shooting 4-of-14 overall. He did clean up at the line, though, scoring IO of his I9 points on free throws. Rookie forward Lester jones had quite an impressive weekend, scoring I0 on Ryerson and leading the Warriors in scoring with I7 against Queen’s the day before. Mark Hopkins and Tom Balfe kicked in I I and IO points respectively versus the Rams, while Balfe had eight boards. Saturday’s tilt against the decidedly weak Gaels afforded Waterloo head coach Tom Kieswetter a golden opportunity to rotate players on and off the court at will. Six players scored in double figures: Jones with I7 and Hopkins, Balfe, Urosevic, VanKoughnett, and Brian Boufton with t&15,12, 12, and I Cl respectively. VanKoughnett led the team in minutes, only having to spend 28 on the court. Hopkins and Balfe commanded the glass, ripping out 9 and 8 rebunds respectively. Last Friday night, Waterloo lost a 94-80 decision to Cedarville College. VanKoughnett scored 2 I, powered by 5-ofIO shooting from trey land. Urosevic had 13, and Hopkins finally put some points up with IO. The Warriors could not pound the ball inside, though, as they only made I 3 trips to the free-throw line (converting IO), compared to Cedarvilte’s 22-of-28 night from the line. Pocrnic and Balfe scored eight apiece; Moore had nine boards. Cedarville brought five uniformed cheerleaders with them as only seven of their I2-man roster logged minutes.

the rubber fly to him 41 times, not including the three post shots. This leaves both goalies with an 83 per cent save percentage, revealing that the more you shoot, the more you score. The Warriors scored a goal in each period, with Sheldon Gilchrist punching one through in the second from Todd Gleason and Mark Cardiff, and Geoff Schneider finishing the Waterloo scoring in the thirdSchneider’s goal was the result of hard work, as he went to the net hard, hoping for a rebound. As luck would have it, the puck came to him, and he pumped it in for his first goal of the season. Particularly notable in the game was Mark Cardiff, who raised the ire of all the Laurier fans by his very hard, physical play. Any player who had the misfortune of coming near Cardiff was soon acquainted more closely with the ice, the boards, or some hard piece of Cardiff s hockey armour. Cardiff was only fulfilling his role, however, as associate coach Dave Cressman told him to “take your ‘ugly’ pills before the game* Not your ‘stupid’ pills.” This meant that Cardiff was supposed to play hard and not take penal-

ties, and should not be construed as Cardiff taking drugs. On Sunday the Warriors faced the Windsor Lancers, in a crucial battle to keep out of the West division basement Both teams had identical records, and the game was as tough as any playoff battle. The referee certainly set the tone of the game early on, as he called two Warrior penalties at 43 and 5 I seconds of the first, but then a miracle occurred, that allowed the Ice*Men to salvage something very positive from a potentially damaging situation. During the five-on-three advantage for Windsor, Waterloo forward Steve “Dog” Woods managed to get clear of the Lancer players and broke in on the net At the last second, he was hauled down from behind, resulting in one of the rare and beautiful plays in hockey: the penalty shot. A breakaway is hard to achieve, especially when killing a penalty, but the Warriors were killing two penalties at the time, and Woods found himself far enough in the open to have the penalty shot called when he was hooked and tackled. Woods, one of the Warrior’s standouts this season, made no mistake, as he casually deked the goalie,

An excellent game was played by all members of the Plague, staying focused all the way through and never giving up on any ball. The defence, which has picked up tenfotd since the beginning of the season, was on fire; the Warriors were diving into the stands to save balls as well as setting up a mammoth wall at the net. Duringone rallythey blocked Mac four times, until finally Mac gave up and buried the ball into the net. After keying on Matt Reid, the McMaster blockers started running into one another, as Sean Smith established the middle and started to tease the Marauders with a potent offence. Mac has been a formidable opponent in the past, but looked like they would have been more comfortable on a golf course that night. Waterloo shut down a McMaster offence that boasted the top four hitters in Ontario at the time with outstanding court coverage and all-out hustle. The Plague chased balls into the smnds and never gave up on any ball hitting the floor -- an attitude insisted

Plague upon by both coaching staff and players at all times! On the weekend before, the team took on the University of Manitoba, Lewis University (Chicago), the University of Toronto, and Ball State to capture fourth place, and finish higher than any other team in Ontario -including divisional rivals McMaster and Western -- at the Gryphons’ annual volleyball tournament in Guelph. After defeating Lewis University 3-I, the Plague dominated Toronto, winning 3-O in first-day action. On the Saturday, the Plague fell apart mentally, and, what is more important, defensively, against the number-one-ranked Bisons. It’s not that Waterloo couldn’t compete with the number-one ranked team in Canada -- when they play at their best, UW could beat Manitoba - but not on this day. The Plague then lost to Ball State, again due to a lack of defence. Members of the Plague would like to wish all their fans a Merry Christmas and say thanks for supporting the team this term. We hope see all of you out there next term to watch one of the

finally putting enough mustard on the puck to bounce it off the netminder and in. Waterloo defender Brian “Hammerin”’ Henry scored the next goal five minutes into the second frame, as he blasted one through the goalie, making the net rattle and hum. Henry has a blistering shot to go with his ability to bounce bodies around, and he used it to his advantage. Windsor tried hard to mount a comeback, and they finally put one in on a power play late in the third, but James Organ of the valiant Order of the Goaltender stopped everything that came his way. Waterloo was outshot 34 to 25, and Organ really made the difference. The Warriors are now off until their tournament in Guelph from December 3 I to January 2, 1994. While fans are at home partying and gorging, the battered and brave Warriors will be representing the school in this eightteam contest. Waterloo’s next home game will be Saturday, January 8, as the Warriors again host the Windsor Lancers, in this crucial four-point match. Come out and see the modern knights in armour as they open the second half of their season!

Imprint

Mew sports

From late August until late tast Saturday afternoon, the Warriors hockey squad has furiously been selling tickets in their “Big Ten Bonanza” draw The purpose of the draw was to raise much needed funds for some of the team’s expenses, including travel costs. While ticket sales were not as brisk as had been initially hoped, this only served to make the odds better for those who were willing to help the cause. Between the second and third periods of Sunday’s game versus Windsor, the draw was held, with the head ofathletics, Wally Delahey, having the honour of pulling the tickets out of the drum. The following is a list of the winners: 1. Mike Suska $2000 2. Chris Ruetz $1000 3. Eleanor Eckert $500 4. Larry Vaughn $250 5. Kim Arthur $125 6. Darlene Crawley 7. Corinne Rajotte 8.

These are the people who are responsible for making the competitive leagues possible for all the students on campus to participate in. In addition, l’d like to thank Tom Kieswetter for putting up with my amateur attempts at my job. Here are the final standings for the term (minus basketball, as the season has not concluded) and congratulations to the final ists!

Final Report by Tammy Convenor

for Volleyball

Webster

The volleyball finals were held on Tuesday, November 23. It finally came down to Da loose winningthe A league, Underdogs winning B, Crazed Iguanas winning C, and Ahssies winning the women’s league. The season went fairly well. Thanks to all the teams for putting up with the refs and playing even though teams defaulted. Many people are to be thanked: all the refs who stuck around and helped me out during playoffs -- it was greatly appreciated; Scatty at the tote desk for putting up with my demands; everyone in the PAC office who helped me out when I was lost; and especially all the players who came out, played, and contributed their opinions. Without everyone who helped out, we wouldn’t have a league. By the way, Jeff, next term, either play B league or stick with hockey!! (just kidding).

Sarah McLachlan Centfe In The Square November 23, I993

by Chris Itrtprint

Aldworth std@

Oh wow, what an absolutelyamazing show! Sarah Mctachlan far exceeded any expectations I ever had for this sweet and innocent singer. In a live setting Sarah brought her music to life like no one else could. It left me speechless. Sarah’s beautiful voice was in top form as she wove her musical magic for the crowd at the Centre In The Square. Not once did her powerful voice falter as she moved the crowd with her marvellous poetry and fantastic music. Drawing mainly from her new release Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Sarah Mclachlan had the audience in awe with her fabulous performance. Opening the show with the haunting and

very beautiful “Possession” she quickly shifted gears and performed a simply marveilous rendition of “Drawn To The Rhythm”. Sarah had the crowd in the palm of her hand as she sang a superb version of “Circle”, one of many new songs for the night Another highlight was the inspiring “Elsewhere”. Sarah was unsure about telling the story behind this song because “you might think I’m weird, or maybe you already do.” It seems that while recovering from strep throat Sarah accidentally took a mixture of codeine and Contact C which resulted in her floating above herself while lying down resting. “It was so strange, I just had to write it down. I then spent the next six months trying to figure out what it meant. At least I got a song out of it” Stopping to introduce another new song, the moody “Ice”, Sarah enlightened the crowd on her inspiration for this song. Recently she was part of I 1

playing various cheesy songs while the minor problems were rectified. Part of Tristan Psionic’s lure as a live show is that the band is as tight as the old Mr. Scrooge (before he became a good guy.) The rather innocuous looking drummer more than manages to keep the rhythm section together with his jackhammer pounding and flawless execution. The bassist is a true funkmaster, who funks out like a true funk fiend. Guitars? WE’VE GOT GUITARS. Coaxing (alternately) banshee wails and angels tears, the gnashing teeth of the damned and the sighs of a virgin pure, the double barrelled assault of McIntosh and Milne evoke the best of Eric’s Trip and Sloan with a unique style that separates the two. One of the highlights of the show was undoubtedly the Psionic’s performance of a song Unyon Sonic bY labelmates Sponge. A testament to the ability of both bands, the song was fast, energetic, melodic and above all exciting. It was clear just from that one song that Tristan Psionic know what they’re doing with their label. _ It seems that the Canadian alternative scene is finally coming to fruition. With bands like Tristan Psionic and Sloan taking the time to start their own labels to promote the works of other bands and maintain the sovereignty that such labels allow, it’s more than likely that we will see an explosion of bands worthy of international attention.

Both “Hold On”, and a song for her mother,“Good Enough were fantastic. Touching on her past releases So1~e and Touch, Sarah and her six piece band performed a spectacular version of “The Path Of Thorns(Terms)” and closed off the night with a smashing rendition of her biggest hit to date “VOX”. Returning for her first encore to a standing ovation, Sarah was all smiles. A superb version of “Into The Fire” and another great new track “Mary” ensued and brought the crowd to their feet for a second standing ovation.

Ginger Cenffe in the Sguore Tuesday, November 23rd

Pat Merlihan Imprint stclO’ The night started off with Tino Monte from AM I 09 greeting the crowd with “Hi folks, we’re presenting Ginger, but you may remember them as the old Grapes of Wrath.” First of all this Tino Monte is a real weenie, and secondly Ginger really blows. Ginger opened for Sarah McLachlan Tuesday night, and I can say that I appreciated Sarah much more after an hour of Ginger. Imagine this, Ginger slaughtering Grapes of Wrath tunes. They only played three GOW songs and the rest of them were new. Don’t worry though, nothing much to look forward to, the songwriting is atrocious, and there wasn’t a tune that I thought stood out from the rest. One of the new songs “Ocean Drain” is a song about doing our environmental duty “... by returning our beer bot-

tles...” says lead singer, Tom Hooper. Ha! Ha! Very funny you big loser, you just had the crowd in stitches, you funny guy you! (the sarcasm just pours from my pen) “Ocean Drain” is not only a pathetic song but it will demonstrate to you some of the great songwriting that is going on in Ginger. “Don’t throw out that can of Raid, because another cockroach I can’t take.” (or something to that affect). The rest of the song just repeated “Ocean Drain”. wow, way to go Ginger! It is amazing how bad a band can suck after losing one of its’ members. I will say that some people did enjoy Ginger, Mainly the eight grade 7 girls that decided to wear their grandmother’s clothes and danced in the aisles shouting “We love you, we love you!” to Hooper. Young love, how pathetic! Even the kid that was seated behind me seemed to be bored as he found more enjoyment hitting and kicking the back of my seat. All in all, Ginger has a shitty stage presence, bad songwriting, and really bad hair.

Moxy’s Moxy Fruvous Humunitie5 ThemYe

Nov. 30, 1993

1felt like I was back in high school. The audience at the Humanities Theatre this Tuesday night seemed no older than seventeen, and the performers on stage seemed to be catering to people too young yet to form their own opinions. Good thing most of them weren’t old enough to vote. Otherwise we’d have voted in the NDP and the IMF would be at our door step tomorrow, telling us where ourgovernments must make the painful budget cuts. I’m supposed to be writing a music review and not a political commentary. Well, with Moxy Fruvous, you can either discuss their comedy routines, or their socialist outlook on life. But despite the witty Borguinville theme which is supposed to show us the ugliness of consumerism, and “Stuck in the 90’s” which is riding that wave of the half-hearted yuppie resurrection, you can tell these guys never experienced living anywhere outside of cushy, capitalist Canada. Alright, they’re good musicians. Using everything from suitcases to heavy electric sounds, there was even a dreamy blues selections for all those teenagers madly in love with the beautiful curls of Jean Gomeshi. (“Isn’t he cute?‘7 heard one girl sigh.) And in the olden days,theirvocal harmonies would have resonated well in any church hall. But I cou,Jn’t help feeling that I was being stuffed political opinions down my throat. They played everything on their Bargainville album, and everything from their indie release. After whispered consultations the audience decided to get up and dance. Uncomfortable at

the Humanities, but that’s where Moxy Fruvous was, and not the much more sensible Fed Hall. The politics is not new. Moxy Fruvous hasn’t really changed much, except being bigger, better, and bigger. Gone are the days when they played in backyards and at low-paying summer festivals. They are still clowning around though; they are still doing that “Green Eggs and Ham” routine, which was funny the first time, but once you’ve heard it, you’ve heard it. All in all, an alright show, especially to someone who hasn’t heard

them before. Even some of their opinions might be alright, heck, they’re entitled to all of them, but Moxy Fruvous seems like less of a band than a media tool, trying to influence teenagers. Of course there was the little politically correct disclaimer: “Everyone is entitled to their opinions, for some people that just means more Tory politics,” Murray Ford remarked. Cute. Politics packaged as pop music. If you’re fifteen and female you might enjoy Moxy Fruvous. If you’re over twenty, well, you can try.

The Headst kickasrock by Chris Imprint

Aldworth stcg

After

an amazing, albeit short, show at Phil’s Place, I ended up backstage talking to Trent Cat-r, guitarist for the Headstones. The band is now signed to MCA and has just released the fantastic album Picture OfHeolth. The Headstones play a brand of punk influenced rock with country flavourings. Asked where he thought their sound was heading Trent felt that their sound will basically stay the same for the next little while. “We’re not planning any drastic changes in the next while since were happy with the sound as it is.” The Headstones’ sound is very raw and can best be appreciated in a live setting. In their set at Phil’s the Headstones drew from songs off their only release, Pic-fure Of He&h. The exception being “let It Go”. “That song was an outtake from the album. We have about six other songs that we wrote that didn’t

Grandsons

make it onto Pitiure Of Health.” Asked about new material Carr explained that they haven’t written any new tracks in the past six months. In the new year the Headstones will be going into the studio to do some writing and record some demo tapes. “The demo tapes are just for ourselves mainly.” The majority of the songwriting is done by lead vocalist Hugh Dillon but each member chips in. It was Hugh that decided to do a cover of the Traveling Wilbury’s “Tweeter and The Monkey Man”. “No one else in the band had ever heard this song before and Hugh was just screwing around with it one day. We all just played it the way we though it would sound.” It seems that Hugh was a little loaded during this escapade. The rest of the band wasn’t sure if this was the way it should sound, The way Hugh was playing it wasn’t exactly the way Dylan, Petty, Orbison and company did it but Hugh convinced the rest of the band that it was. Asked it they do any other covers Carr replied that they sometimes do a few bar tunes in their live show like “Gloria”. Hugh is soon to be found on the big screen in the full length feature “Dance Me Outside”.

Fuck with us and we will kick

Director Bruce McDonald (*‘Highway 6 I “, “Roadkill) wrote the part with Hugh in mind after working with the Headstones on the video for “It’s Alright”. “The part in the movie is tailor made for Hugh, he gets to be his obnoxious self’. It’s still up in the air if any Headstones songs will be found on the soundtrack. The rest of the band unfortunately does not even get a candid shot in the movie. The Headstones have shared the stage with some very big acts. During the summer they were one of the bands to take part in the Another Roadside Attraction. They shared the stage with the likes of Midnight Oil and the Tragically Hip plus a host of other Canadian acts. In the liner notes the Headstones thank both Gord Downie and his wife. “At Roadside Attraction we got to hang out with all the bands. Hugh actually went ‘to high school with Gord. They had not spoken to each other since high school. Once we formed the band, Hugh gave Gord a call and now they talk all the time.” With Hugh originally from Kingston the comparisons to the Tragically Hip are bound to pop up. ‘We have been compared but I think it is just due to geography, being from the same hometown.”

to the Hip with Hugh

With Trent being a Led Zeppelin fan I mentioned the upcoming (now past)Robert Plant show in Toronto. Trent didn’t think it was worth the effort. “I heard a story about when Robert Plant was auditioning for a new band. Two guys came in and played for him a combination of two Zeppelin songs mixed together into one. After hearing them play he did not recognize the songs but liked it so much he hired them on the spot” Although no definite plans for any headline gigs, the Headstones will be opening for Wild T and The Spirit at various spots across Southern Ontario. The Headstones are full of raw talent and have a stage presence about them that just rocks. If you are fond of the sounds of other great acts like the Watchmen, the Tragically Hip, Strange Days and the Tea Party then I seriously advise you to check out the Headstones next time they roll into town.

by Sandy Atwal Imprint stag This perfect college band, rose from the ashes following the sudden dissolution of one of the eighties most interesting bands The Pixies. (including Trompe Le Monk in my humbk opinion.) The Breeders minus Tanya Donnelly have finally proven that Kim Deal is at least as interesting and musically adept as Black Francis (even without a silly name.) Named after a derogatory term concocted by homosexuals for heterosexuals, the Breeders don’t really deserve the amount offamethey’re receiving, but it’s easy to understand why their recent show in Toronto sold out so quickly. Not terribly original, nor highly imaginative, the Breeders do have a knack for catchy riffs, a (dare I say) groovy base (played byjosephine Wiggs from Perfect Disaster) and some easily recollected lyrics sung by the golden throated Deal. joined by her twin sister Kelly, who was still learning how to play guitar on the Safari EP, (and from reports of their recent show, is still learning), Kim has come up with at least two bonafide pop jewels, “Cannonball” and “Divine Hammer,” and has at least demonstrated that she isn’t a slave to the slash and burn guitar of Black Francis. Her influence in songs like “Here Comes Your Man” is obvious after giving this record a few spins. Exploring the sexually perverse to the religious, and covering a wide variety of musical influences from straight ahead rock to a country cover to pretentious art noise, the Breeders have properly elevated themselves from a side project to unit-shifting university band. Their current popularity (which is at its poster ripping high) may never last more than a little while, but right now they’re riding a wave of popularity on their post-grunge slack rock tunes which will keep them going a while.

Well, Wilhelm proves his skill as a hunter and wins Katchen’s hand. Unfortunately, on his wedding day, Wilhelm inadvertently kills his bride with the last magic bullet and goes insane. Ha.Ha. Tom Waits and William S. Burroughs began work on The Black

by JefChard Imprint staff “Land” is the single recorded by five of the bands at this past summer’s AnotherRoadside Attfution, in support of the protesters of the clearcutting going on at Vancouver Island’s Clayoquot Sound. It is available at most record stores on CD format at the reasonable price of $ 8.99. All proceeds go to the Clayoquot Defense Fund. . Written primarily by Midnight Oil

Rider about four years ago, Waits wrote the music and Burroughs wrote the libretto. Directed by Robert Wilson, The Black Rider was a bizarre production, a sort of nightmare/fairy tale transplanted from Europe into the wild west. Also, polite society might deem Burroughs’ involvement with the show, all things considered,“uncouth”. A clear case of art imitating life. Anyway, as odd as Black Rider the opera might have been, Bludc Rider the album is just as weird and wonderful. Waits includes seven songs he wrote for the show plus some of Burroughs’ material and some new instrumentals. Waits completely reworks all of his songs and adds some interesting sound effects in order to reinterpret the stage production for a sound audience. The instrumentats feature an eerie and, at times, melodic mix of accordion, wind reeds, and clarinets which are accom-

and performed by all of the bands, I must admit I expected more from this collaboration. The song is O.K., but nothing sbacial. There is also an extended version of “land” here, which sounds exactly the same, only longer. The motive behind this single is very environmentallyconsciousand responsible, so I would encourage you to pick this up if you care about such things, which we all should. The lead vocals are also performed by all the bands, with Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil stealing the show, and honourable mention going tothe Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie. Daniel Lanais produced it, and I must say, Daniel, you are a much better producer than singer ( no offense buddy, but it’s true. ) So while the single itself is largely unimpressive (especially considering the ;ollaborati;e klent involved, ) the effort of the artists and their reasons for making this effort must be commended.

panied by animaf(?) noises, train whisttes and carnival barker rants. To put this in visual terms, think of a desolate fairground in the dead of a moonlit night (just a few miles north of the Mexican border during the late eighteen hundreds). “The Black Rider can be described as a bridge between Frank’s Wild Years and Bone Machine. Waits experiments with a lot of, well, noise, but the album also boasts several ironic yet still heart wrenching ballads. One of the highlights of The Bluck Rider is Waits beautifully tragic rendition of “Lucky Day”. This over- the-top number, sung from the point of view of Wilhelm who cheerfully admits that he’s “lost all his dreams”, reaches down into the depths of despair as the fistener realizes that this lucky day is NEVERgoing to come. Ha ha. Also, the album features the most disturbing track that I have heard since Throbbing Gristle’s “Hamburger Lady”. William S. Burroughs once again astounds me with the utter depth of his freakishness by his rendition of “T’ain’t No Sin” (‘20 pick offyour skin and dance around in your bowwenss”). The Black Rider is a carnival of dark delights.

This album has actually been around for quite some time, but no one has ever reviewed it However, as Curve is coming to Toronto next Wednesday, I felt that it is my dutyto duly review this atbum for the ignorant masses. For those who don’t know Curve, think of shoe-gazing, and it ends there. Some of Cuckoo is very shoe-gazerish, and some of it is industrial noise. And if neither of these classifications mean anything to you, then neither will this

album. Beware: The song you always hear, “Superblaster” is not indicitive of the album. It is Curve’s big pop song, and not much like the rest of the album.

friday, december long and illustrious career. This is his fourth release of new material since coming back from his self imposed exile about five years ago and although it is still not as good as Fiddle and Song (his first release after the long dark period of Canadian history when he was quietly living on a farm outside of Toronto), it is miles better than his previous two releases. It seems that there are two songs which are intended to become singles, “Football Song” about the Grey Cup and “Blue Berets” about UN peacekeepers. Unfortunately both these songs don’t do much for me, it’s as if he was trying too hard to make a hit song. In particular, perhaps trying for a repeat of the recent sucn cess his “Hockey Song” has had. Tom works best when he writes non-formula songs about ordinary people where the lyrics and music can take off in any direction. The best songs on this album are “Suzanne de Lafayette” and “Honeymoon is over, poochie pie” both of which have a particular energy which has been lacking in his recordings recently. As well, there is a musical enera and diversity brought on by using such instruments as cajun accordion, standup bass, and piano which is a refreshing change from his last couple of efforts. The two remakes are also well done, in particular the accordion part on “Gumboot Cloggeroo”, white the last song “Shakin’ the Blues” is just weird, sounding like an Elvis tribute. Overall a fine album worthy of Stompin’ Tom, let’s hope he can continue this streak and keep releasing new material which does not pale when compared to his classics. .

Not/ring But A Burning Light was a great release and to have this as a follow up is a bit of a disappointment.

It doesn’t sound like a Christmas tune, maybe that’s why I enjoy it so much. It’s the highlight of the album but not on par with other classic Cockburn songs Ii ke “Wonder Where The Lions Are”. Cockburn placed a great Christmas tune on his last release, Nothing &It A &ming Light, in the form of “Cry Of A Tiny Babe”. Too bad it wasn’t included because it is far better

The Lowest of the Low have returned to Toronto from Little Mountain Sound in Vancouver with a powerful new album on LSD records, entitled H&cigeniu. The sounds of the Lowest of the Low on this album can be best described as a remarkable mixture of remnants of Joe Strummer, Billy Bragg and Art Bergmann. Canada’s self proclaimed “oldest punk”, Art Bergmann, helps out on Hullucigeniu by adding his own comical brand of philosophy to the Low’s already twisted brand of humour on several tracks, If you’ve heard the lowest of the Low’s independent release Shakespeare My Butt, you will be astonished by the fresh sounds of Hollucigeniu. This new album actually makes the first release sound like a sloppy demo. It includes tunes that are much more diverse in sound, harder edged and more varied in lyrical content than Shakespeare. This most notable changes between the albums are the addition ofguitarist Stephan Stanley on lead vocals for several new songs, not to mention a pleasantly shorter album than the previous one. This album just tickles your ears with clarity. Accordingto AK Bergmann,“life is like a shit sandwich and it seems that the more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat”. The Lowest of the Low should have no problem making toast after this album. Three thousand pre-release copies of this album sold like hotcakes during the Lowest of the low Club Crawl several weeks ago. HaIucigenia should hit the shelves of your favourite record store in eariy January, so save up all your hard earned holiday money and go out and grab this album as soon as it hits the stores.

There are a lot of bands taking the unplugged acoustic route these days. This unplugged mania is the stripping down of songs and playing them in their rawest form. Neil Young did it and 1 so did Eric Clapton, Even Arrested Development tried it out You may wonder 1 where all &is is leading. Well, Andrew Cash has decided to buckthe trend and has picked up his electric guitar for his new release Hi. Sure, why not? Bob Dylan went 1 electric and lord knows that Neil Young has bounced 1 back and forth between acoustic and electric guitar enough times. Andrew Cash has left his acousticguitar for the time being and has put out a powerful electric album. Now, not all of you will like this new direction taken by Andrew Cash but that’s too bad ‘cause I think it’s pretty cool. Originally in the punk band L’Etranger, Cash is no stranger to the electric guitar, If you only know his most recent stuff, Hi is quite a bit different. His last two releases, Boomtown and Time And P/me were both

acoustically driven. But hey, those releases were a long time ago. People are allowed to change over time. Despite the change in guitar, Cash’s voice still retains his slightly country twang. The stories take on a sorrowful quality that accompany the turned up guitar amps quite well. With ihe- vocally sweet but crunihy -sounding “Hey Marie” as the first release, Hi proves itself to be a bone stirring album. Hi was produced by Cash and Bob Wiseman after the band recorded the album in flurry of activity over ten days. Instead of using se&on players Andrew Cash formed a new band, The Little Ones, to record and tour with. Randy Curnew on drums, Paul Taylor on base, and Kevin Fox on guitar accentuate the writing style of Cash. Cash wanted to record the album as quickly as possible and not get too wrapped up in it This is quite evident in the new material and works to the advantage for most of the songs. Some songs end up sounding like they came off a demo tape but this more experimental and hard edged material from the new album translates well to a live setting. Recently Andrew Cash and the band played an amazing set, wailing away duringthe opening slot for the Waltons at Fed Hall. Hi contains a host of great songs including the moldier number “John Edicott” and the almost pop song “Alot OfTalk”. Although Andrew Cash picking up the electric guitar is not a bad thing, I still hope Cash decides to keep on writing songs with the old acoustic guitar. My favourite songs are still from Cash’s &>omtown era. Whether electric of acoustic though, Andrew Cash continues to crank it out and is still alright in my books, If you like a bitting electric sound with great Cash vocal work then this is the atbum for you.

It’s taken me a very long time to get around to reviewing this album. I can’t really say I’ve got a good excuse except for the fact that the album isn’t very good, and I didn’t want to have to say that. The Go-Betweens remain one of the most listenable and quite simply, one of the greatest bands of the eighties. Their melodies were original, their lyrics thoughtful, and yet there was so much more. You knew that the Go-Betweens were originals. They remain the band most deserving of the success that they never achieved. Still primarily a”critic’s band”, the songwriting team of Robert Forester and Grant (now C.W.) McLennan, created some dazzling pop jewels such as “Cattle and Cane”, “ In the Core of a Flame” and (one of my favourite singles of the eighties) “Was There Anything I Could Do?” A perfect mixture of Dylanesque lyrics with that weird sort of Kiwirock influence, there are-few bands that will be able to match their legacy. But here, his voice, his guitar, his lyrics all seem so uninspired. I understand that it’s slightly unfair to compare a solo artist’s work to his previous work in a band, but the decrease in quality here seems equally unfair to the fans who were expecting at least some of the originality that made the artist great in the first place. Less interesting that &her his former partner’s work, or his first solo album “Danger in the Past”, Robert Forester is taking an awful lot of time to put out half hearted albums that do nothing for his reputation nor his audience, I tried to like this album, I really did, but these songs, instead of being something interesting like world weary, are just tired, and they make me want to go to steep.

live release from

a band that

should know better. I know how incredibly uncool it is to criticize thevelvet Underground, butfranklythis is bullshit While it can easily be argued that this band deserves a lot more money than they’ve probably ever received, this live document just seems to be a badly-orchestrated buggering by the band to screw their fans for some cash without considering giving them their money’s worth. For example, to get both the real fanatics and the less ardent fans, this disc has been released in both single and double CD format. All of the versions here are different than the vinyl version, but totally unnecessary for anyone who isn’t an absolute fan. The single disc is a terrible introduction to the band’s work as far as song selections, and the band’s vinyl performantes are quite obviousty superior. One absolutely unnecessary inclusion is Cal&s “The Gift.” A near-ten minute spokenword joke of sorts, there’s really no reason to hear it more than two or three times in your life except as background music. However, here it is, taking up space that could have been filled by “White Light, White Heat” or “Jesus” or almost any of their other songs. “Rock’~‘Roll” collapses into a “It’s alright now/baby, baby, baby” chant at the end, Reed alternates verses of “I’m Waiting for the Man” with CaIe for no apparent reason, and one can almost see the candles waving in the midnight air as Reed meanders through “Heroin” and the ctapalong begins. The album closes with the worst track - a painfully discordant ‘*Pale Blue Eyes.” An example of the lack of professionalism that went into this package is the discrepancy between the track listing as it is listed in the notes,

and the order that they are actually performed on the CD. Tracks two through five are listed on the CD as “All Tomorrow’s

Parties”,

“Some

Kinda

Love”, “The Gift”, ‘Afterhours” and “Sweet Jane”. On the disc itself, they are performed as “Sweet Parties”, Jane”, “Afterhours ‘* “All Tomorrow’s “Some Kinda Love” and then “The Gift/’ One can assume that it is at least partly the band’s fault for this minor, but nonetheless pathetic, fuck up. We all want to gloss over these minor points, butwhen taken all together (especially the liner notes where Reed thanks UZ), and we have, yes, a sell-out - the subveision of art for money. I know this is going to mak& Velvet fans everywhere hate me, but for myself, 1feel insulted that the music I’ve enjoyed so much for the past two years (yes, I’ve only been recently

converted)

and the music that has justifiably been credited as some of the greatest contributions to rock history has been reduced to a rush job documenting a band now,way past its prime.

Puppetfest in Distress by Garth Grimes performed by Aunt Betty’s Rhubarb Pies Damsel

by Craig

Nickerson

Aunt Betty’s Rhubarb Pies is a local three person theatre company specializing in children’s productions. These productions involve an interaction between actors and life sized puppets designed by Jeff Sweeney. In addition to original material, this theatre group has also staged an adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Aunt Betty’s most recent production is an original work entitled Damsel In Distress, Written by Garth Grimes and directed by Sweeney, Damsel In Distress utilizes old-fashioned fairytale themes for a modern sensibility. The

dialogue involves some cute anachronisms and reveals a hip setf-consciousness. The story concerns a princess, played by Jennifer Epps, a UW drama student, whose emotional responses

are all topsey turvey thanks to an evil old witch’s curse. When she is happy she cries, when she is enthusiastically overjoyed she yawns and speaks sarcastically. Needless to say, the prin-

ROOMS ccss’s odd behaviour freaks everyone out and causes a great deal of confusion. In order to lift the curse, the princess must confront a terrible troll, a dreadful dragon and a large giant The cast is as good as it is economical. Three people handle the majority of the roles. Kids should get a particular kick out of D.]. Carroll’s turn as the woolly headed king. Other highlights include Tammy Speers’ portrayal of the evil old witch and Beth Wiengart as the nasty troll. Speers and Wiengart manipulate striking, life sized puppets in these roles and the interaction is effective. The most impressive puppet is the giant which takes three people to handle and towers above the actors. Sweeney’s workconveys agood deal of character and imagination. Both children and adults will enjoy seeing it.

Andrew Cash- An Mtpg Happy Young Man By Frank Seglenieks Inprint stqff This interview was done before Andrew Cash and his band the Little Ones played with Spirit of the West at the Humanities Theatre last Wednesday. Thanks to Peter Brown for his help in recording the interview. I started out retelling a long story about how somebody I knew went to see him this summer and instead of the “Boomtown” Andrew Cash with a happy folk sound and big hair there was a short haired angry young man play ing electric guitars. But he didn’t seem very happy with this opinion but answered the question anymy: Andrew Cash: People always want to put you into a box, I have experienced that over the years being put into several different boxes and with each album there is the attempt on my part to say that this attempt to define out= selves, not just me but everyone, and I wouldn’t say that one album is more angry than another or that I am an angry young man now and was whatever I was back then. To me the whole thing is an evolution and you’re not going to be the same way for every record. One would hope that you would develop and not remain static, however we seem to want everyone to remain static. Imprint: Do you feel you have changed your outlook on life or on song writing with this new album? AC: No, I don’t feel like it is a major change in outlook or song writing style. It’s definitely more intense than the last album t did or the one before that. But, I think there is a continuum throughout the whole thing, definitely the context in which the last album was framed in was more of a pop thing. Which I never really felt all that comfortable with, and in spite of my own desires to gear it in another direction, it ended up being more of a pop thing. I think that the themes that I sang about on that album I am still singing about now, the songs that I am writing are just more intense. IM: This album has been compared to the stuff you were doing with your former band L’Etranger. AC: However, with L’Etranger we played a lot of acoustic stuff too, a lot of people who talk about the band I am

sure never ever saw us. We did a lot of different things, our career as a band went through many different phases, just like my solo career. That’s while I always say, and I have since “Time and Place” that it was a natural extension of what we were doing in L’Etranger and so is this. It’s interesting that I always have to talk about this stuff.

1M: It seems that L’Etranger have become a myth and people have it set in their minds what you sounded like and they never want to change that idea. AC: Perhaps, we pressed about I500 copies of two records so that’s only 3000 copies out there. Then there was the last EP, it was a L’Etranger record kind of, but the band split up shortly LU

some of it turned out really neat and some of it turned outvery polished and ultimately unappealing to me. So when this band came together it was obvious we had a sound and a direction so the point was to try as hard as we could not to mess that up in any way. Which is why we decided to do it in this way. IMz Is this a totally new band? AC:Welt Paul Taylor the bass player is the same bass player who has played with me for a long time, he was on Boomtown. Randy Curnew on drums and Kevin Fox on guitar, they are new guys. IM: Are you happy with your new record deal from MCA? AC: Well what I am happy about is that we were able to do the atbum without any involvement from anyone apart from the four band members, the engineer and the producer Bob Wiseman. We could just do it ourselves and I enjoyed that aspect of it quite a lot. I M: You won an award for Video of the Year for “Boomtown”, do you take a lot of care in making videos, any that you are really proud of? AC: Well I really like the one we have out now for “A lot of Talk”, Don McKeller, from Roadkill and Highway 6 I, came up with the idea of the elevator and then we just fleshed it out from IM: One of your songs is entitled “Th

mari juana tea, “to Iull the cancer clenched in her like fists.” There is also a glimpse of the pain of lost love. In “Young Lovers” the

narrator watches naive teenagers and wonders “who will be the first /to awaken in bed and feel alone?” The mood is reflective, never de-

pressing. Redhill does not forget to add the occasional comic relief. His advise in “True Story” is “Don’t walk across Lake Nippissing-/run. Run like hell because they got pike in that lake.” g m In between everything, there is always Lake Nora. “Lake Nora is at BI 8, nestled in the word WQOD...To find Lake Nora follow the signal in your teeth--return all your library books, believe in nothing,” the author urges in “Where to find Lake Nora.” The Lake has become the place of longing. The place where childhood and lost love walk hand in hand, the place that is almost untouched by progress and by adult worries. The idyll is only broken in “Lake Nora Quartet,” when technology moves into cottage country, “Bell Telephone is here/they’ve wired the frontier,” Redhill remarks rather sadly. By the end of the book, you know the area as intimately as an .old lover. You could that it is real, but just when you seem to have found the soothing cool waters, it eludes you. According to Redhill, the lake is fictional. It is like a puzzle set together from pieces of life as a big city Canadian who is always yearning to return to the real Canada, which lies just a short drive away, but can often be very hard to find.

Imagine summer. A Canadian summer at the cottage somewhere in northern Ontario- There is love, there are childhood memories, and, of course, there is a lake. Michael Redhill’s words flow in and out of one another like the gentle lapping of waves against Lake Nora’s shore. There is an immense unity between all the poems in the book, due to Redhill’s consist‘ent imaginative use of lanuage. Yet there is also diversity in subject matter. There are short poems about love, longer accounts of childhood memories that taste of gum balls and dusty roads, and social commentary. Redhill does not believe in the ideals of the yuppies or of the Cleavers. In “Bliss,” he describes the sterilness and pretentiousness of a Christmas party and he wishes that “we went back to a time/when we understood nothing,/when people/weren’t exterminating themselves.” There is jenny, in “Eighth Floor, Room 7 10”: whose employer is harassing her. There is Euridice, the subway companion you see every morning but never speak to. In “Phases,” a poem about winter, grandma is given

As is often predictable in the aftermath of tremendous politicat earthquakes, novels come out like mushrooms after the rain and occupy the bestsellers charts for a while, then go away. Strangely, however, this is not always the case, as the lack of books jumping on the back of the fallen Socialist juggernaut of Eastern Europe will attest Julien Barnes is the author of the Pcrrcupine, a spine-tingling new novel set in a fictional East European country after the fall of Communism. In it special prosecutor Peter Stolinsky is given the task of prosecuting the former president, Stoyo Petkanov. He does this rather inadequately, while overcoming contradictions of his own in a country dissolving in the identity crisis of Post-Warsaw Pact Syndrome. The floating narrator takes us from character to character and picks the minds of a representative slice of the country’s population: the staunch young velvet revolutionists, the old-school communist stalwarts, the grunts caught in between, and the fence-jumping fallen idealonues like Stolinskv himself - forFnoer CCC (card-carrying. Commie), now member of the new ruling party. Petkanov, the dictator who has held an iron grip on power for 30 years, is on trial as proxy for the sins of an entire communist regime; to the surprise and frustration of most, however, he has very few apparent cracks in his integrity, and he won’t be as easy to shoot

bid down as his colleague, Nicolae Ceaucescu. The prosecutor himself, on the other hand, seems to be open for some attacks himself. A messy business. The book spends a lot of time discussing the motivations of characters: is Stolinsky a good Communist? Was his vision correct? Was he sold down the river by “that weak fool in

the Kremlin who looked as if a bird had shat on his head” ? Despite his every effort to make Socialism work in the world, he is more sinned against than sinning and he feels the victim, con% dent that Socialism is the answer and that everyone else is a bastard. Who’s to say that he’s wrong? Redifining society through Socialism may look good on paper, but a political and

08 paivl economic system designed for human beings has one very unpredictable and volatile element that will forever prove it’s downfall: the human beings themselves. Stalin&y defines his worth as a human being by listing the awards he has received from dozens of countries around the world, he defines his worth by dropping names of world leaders that have sung his pt-aise. He tells his enemies to fuck off in mental tirades, just as a majority in his country tell him to do the same. “Intellectuals are pathetic” he says, the man whose collected writings numbers 32 volumes. I agree with the statement, as with the caricature of national leaders as hypocrites ofi on their own ideological ego-rollercoaster. Don’t you? The book’s shortcomings are several. While Barnes has electrified with books like FIaubert’s Purr~t and the History ofthe World in IO% Chapters, the later book Talking it Over fell flat with contentious narrative and unsympathetic characters and the Porcupine does more of the same. In addition to this, he’s written a 138 page book on a 600 page subject which leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand though, this might be something to be left to the thoroughly researched thrillers of the Michener set... so an un-sensatjonal novel from someone like Barnes lives up to the novel idea of writing an un-stuffy book about a major world event. It’s as if he says “Er, excuse me, but I’ve got this important book for you to read. It’s really short and

Selected Poems and Songs by Leonard Cohen McClelland & Stewart $ 29.99

by Kciterhz Pifo Imprint staff Leonard Cohen poetry is hard to’comeby these days+no matter how hard you look in alternative second hand book stores in Toronto. Stranger Music can thus be welcomed by any fan of Cohen’s Though 1 it does not include the complete body of work of Canada’s folk legend, the compilation is pretty thorough and spans Cohen’s career from I956 to the present. Is Cohen a song-writer or a poet? That has been the question ever since Cohen’s first album “Songs of Leonard Cohen” was released in 1967. He had published six books by then, including his only novels The Favourite Game and Beauti fill Losers. However, it was the music which catapulted him to fame, His songs are even popular in Europe! In Stranger Music, as even the title of the book suggests, poems and song lyrics are given equal importance. Selections from the books are mixed with selections from the albums and it becomes hard to read the poems without hearing Cohen’s low, throaty voice in your head. Some poems are changed, but most have retained their initial form. Here are 400 pages of Leonard’s finest. Sex, angst, God, love, v&, the bible, Montreal, a remote Greek island, a Jewish past

The only part of his career that is missing is an excerpt from The Favourite Come. This novel is more prose-like than 5euutifil Losers and though a short tidbit could have made up an autobiographical introduction, the unifying factor to the book is poetry. No doubt, you witI like some poems, and hate others, Some will even make you question C&hen as a poet, like perhaps MARJTA, a three line haiku which says nothing more than “Marit& Please find me/l am almost 30.” But others will make you understand and wish to read more. The last pati of the bok consists of yet unpublished poems, mainly from the 1980s. The

themes have not changed since Cohen began writing as a student at McGiif University in his native Montreal. He still seems to be searching for something, for peace perhaps, for God, for happiness. The very last poem “Gift of Kindness’* was written in Greece, Cohen’s otherhome, in 1985, and he remembers the girl Marianne, and her child. “I haven’t forgotten/ the days of kindness/ it rises in my spine/ and it manifests as tears/ I pray that a loving memory exists for them too/ the precious ones I overthrew/ for an education in the world.” He is almost sixty now. I wonder if Marita ever found him.
