Future Feds in I forum frenzy
by Kieran Green Imprint Staff
Electionfever hit the Math and Computers building Wednesday with the usual Fed forum excitement. The Math Lounge was the scene of the third in a series of all candidates fora for the upcoming Federation of Students election. Present were presidential candidates Bruce Winter and Steve Codrington, vice-president, operations and finance (VPOF) candi"ates Ammie Klein, Christine Dewhunt, f Leon Briggs, and Randy Bareham, and the $ candidates for vice president, university af, fain (VPUA), Julie Cole and Andreas Kurvits. The election campaigns thus far have been marked by the absence of * big issues and heated debate, andWednesday's " forum was n o exception. The forum got off t o a quiet start with each cahdidate presenting a t w o minute opening speech. The Fed h o ~ e f u l s contenied themselves for the most part with a list of their experienceand qualifications, and a brief description of one o r t w o of their platform ideas. Leading off, Winter stressed his concept of treating the Federation as a service and students as its clients. He also stressed the popular catch-word, "accountability". Codrington rose next and pulled a "Stormin' Norman," breakinn a cardinal rule of public speakingby addressingthe audience from in front of the podium. He called k r regular polling of students and the establishment of an information net t o improve student participation and communications between the Feds and students. VPOF candidate Ammie Klein took t o the podium next and promised more student input into the coop process, and pointed out her "recycled" campaign buttons. She also pointed t o her experience in Actuarial Sciences and as a former WatPub organiser as her relevant experience for the VPOF position. Christine Dewhurstthen tookthe stand and emphasisedher commitmentto creating student jobs in the new Student Life Building. She also expressed the desire t o increase students' awareness of Fed services through the implementation of a "speakers corner" for students. Leon Briggs spoke on his experience as a Fed employee and as president of the CaribeanStudents Association. He the made remarks concerningthe potential of the new Student Life Centre and pledged t o "maximize the profits from the CCBC (Canadian Campus Business Consortium)."

Last to present were the candidates for VPUA, Julie Cole and Andreas Kurvits. The establishment of a "neighbourhood don" program, and the creation of other safety programs, both on and off campus, were the key planks in Julie Cole's platform. Cole also noted her varied experience in many facets of student life at UW. Kurvits ended the first round by mentioning his many "connections," in both the Feds and administraion.

An audience member then pointed out that while the candidates had stressed the importance of student participation and the need for students to vote, none had provided a good reason why students should vote for them. Challenged t o provide a reason, Klein, Kurvits, and Dewhurst all cited their personal experience as the prime reasont o vote for them.

The recent banning of five newsgroups at U W will be debated at an open forum on Tuesday, February 15, in the Davis Centre, room 1302. The Computer Science Club is holding the forum for student and faculty input and reaction about Jim Kalbfeisch's February 1 directive t o "take immediate action t o remove the... newsgroups." Several key figures have confirmed their participation.Jim Kalbfleisch, vice-president. academic provost, Sally Gunz, Ethics Committee chair, Prabhakar Ragde of the Computer Science department, andJeffreyShallit, also of the Computer Science department, will all speak, and the floor will be open for interested staff o r students t o voice concerns o r questions. Kalbfleisch acted almost exclusively on the Ethics Committee's recommendations
(see page 22)
and legal counsel, without having seen the material himself. Banned are "alt.sex.bondage," "alt.sex.bestiality." "alt.sex.stories," "altsex.stories.d." and "alttasteless." Since the directive a flurry of e-mail and newsgroup activity has criticised and discussed the ban's implications. I t is still possible t o access the newsgroupsthrough"net1inks"to other servers that have not banned them. Newsgroups have had a long history of problems at UW. In 1988 "rec.humor" was banned for containing racist and sexist jokes. and "alt.sex.bondage," one of the fnre banned on February I.was originally banned in 1990. In April of that year, all "alt" newsgroups were banned, allegedly due t o the cost of running them. They were later restored after a massive student outcry. Following that, an advisory committee on newsgroups was struck t o make recommendationsabout newsgroups.

All the candidates stated that better communication was the key to the problem. They suggested such solutions as placing a student information program on Roger’s Cable and the creation of a City-TV-style “Speaker’s Corner” on campus, where students could air their grievances (Christine &whurst), improving management of the Federation bulletin boards on campus (Randy Bareham), and a new “client-server” relationship between students and Feds (Bruce Winter).

Closing speeches were made, little more than reiterations of what was already said, and the forum was declared closed.

intellectuality,” the reviewer adds that Harris succeeds at bringing the contentious personalities to life. “Harris read every parody, pored over each nasty exchange, scoped out hundreds of anecdotes and returned with a portrait of a discipline in which law and anomaly are not merely in tension, but in open, brutal, take-noprisoners warfare.” A faculty member at UW since 1992, Harris received his BA from Queen’s University in Kingston, MA from Dalhousie University in Halifax and a Master of Science from the University of Alberta.

Ebytown Food Co-op has been providing alternative whole foods since 1978. Such products include bulk dry and canned goods ( brown rice, past& honey and peanut butter), dairy and frozen foods as well as personal and household items (shampoo, all-purpose cleaners and borax) that are all environmentally and people friendly. Some local organic in-season produce is also available, as well as a variety of vegetarian selections. Since Ebytown is staffed entirely by volunteers these products are available at lower price than would be found in your area supermarket. The premises are provided for free by WRCl which again results in greater savings for the consumer. Part of the philosophy behind co-operative businesses is to assist other co-ops and WRCl has taken this principle to heart. Any one is able to shop at Ebytown but if you become a member you receive a discount of 5% on all purchases. Membership fees are $ IO per year. In
order to ensure that the co-op remains accessible to the public, members are required to shop regularly at the store as well as work at least one shift every three months. The duties include: working a three hour store shift, specia! positions such as purchasing and stock controlling, or participaring on a committee. There are many ways that one can become invalved with Ebytown. Call 886-8806 for their hours of operation or to get the date of the next information meeting. So, BY08 & C (bring your own bags and containers) and stock up at Ebytown!

An expert in communications and rhetoric, linguistics and professional writing, Harris explores in his book the field of linguistics - the study of languages and their structure - and focuses on one of its key thinkers, Noam Chomsky. The book discusses a debate in the mid- 1960s and I9705 among Chomskyan researchers that has had a huge impact on linguistics. “As an attempt to bring the discipline to life the way James D. Watson brought DNA research to life in The Double Helix, it is a complete success,” writes reviewer David Berreby, a former associate editor of The Sciences. In a discipline noted for “irritable

THE BOARD OF INTERNAL LIAISON The Board of Internal Liaison serves as a communication link between societies, clubs and residences. This term it is under the guidance of a chairperson. Included in its organisation is a Society Commissioner and a Clubs Commissioner. The purpose of this board is to provide direct communication among student bodies on campus. Ultimately, it serves the students of the University of Waterloo by informing them about all facets of campus life. Bi-weekly, the Board of Internal Liaison holds a Committee of President meeting where information from student government and the numerous Student Societies is shared. The agenda varies from Society events to issues such as the new Village Meal Plan. Furthermore, the B.I.L eagerly embraces new clubs formed on campus. Members are to present their club’s ideology to the board in order to be recognized. Presently there are numerous clubs on campus that cater to different hobbies and groups on campus. If you have the desire and ambition to start up a club contact “BIL”! B.I.L. is more than willing to help. Recently BIL held a “Clubs Day” where recognized clubs were given the opportunity to share with the student’s of lJW their mandate and rush for new members. If you

A recent decision made by the University of Waterloo has caused an uproar among students and faculty alike. Made unilaterally by those in the upper echelons of UW, this decision has lead to a miriad debate on uw.generat and uw.opinion. The matter at stake, as per usual in these types of debates, centers around the momI issue: who should be allowed to do what? UW administration believes it has the right to do whatever it likes, and they are right They have been charged with the responsibility to oversee the functioning of this university and are thus empowered to decide what is best for us, However, with the diversity of persons and opinions that characterize universities, those decision makers are usually obliged to consult widely in order not to offend or alienate the majority of faculty, staff, and students. And so plans for an open forum have sprung up, opening the issue to a contest of rhetoric, ideals, and oration skills. Undoubtedly, this forum will not put more than a mere dent in the side of our administration’s decision, but it will allow for the masses to assume they are being heard. Which is all that is really necessary. The decision I am going on about is, of course, the recent banning of the alt.sex.* newsgroups from the UW internet feed. However, I might have just as well been writing of the other decision that has recently come to light - that of UW charging new ancillary fees to students. After all, both were unilateral decisions which ought to cause uproar. However, they have been received in entirely different manners: bne with backlash and the other wirh submism sion. By deciding what we should be allowed to read on our computers and deciding what we will be forced to pay for services, UW is treading in treacherous moral grounds. Assuming their responsibilities include the censorship of pornography on computers, the university has decided their role is to dictate. Similarly, they have distanced themselves from their responsibility to provide services to students, opting to instead “recover” those costs from said students. In the end, however, both issues are equally debatable, yet only one has received any real amount of attention. Is that simply because one involves sex and the other only money? I doubt it. The real reason for the discrepancy is far more wide reaching. The truth is that people are more concerned about their personal freedom than about the collective rights of students to affordable educations, which is quite interesting if you consider campuses are popularly known as liberal hot beds of politcally correct thinkers. You’d think that those supposed PC people would champion the universities decision to take porn off the computers and scorn them for charging more for education. I guess not I guess the vocal majority on this campus is more right wing than most would think. Of course there are pockets of lefties here and there, but these recent issues have proved who is who. The only unfortunate thing about it all is that both sides need to fight their respective battles in order to be effective; yet until now, the lefties have been losing out Oh, well.

How to circumvent To: imprintawatserv I (IMPRINT editor) From: rjwells@undergrad.math (Justin Wells) Subject: How to circumvent the newsgroup ban t Date: Jue, 8 Feb I994 043X:25 -0500 ?
Recently the censors at the Womyn’s Centre joined forces with the censors in the administration to create the University of Waterloo Thought Police (known sarcastically as the “Ethics Committee”). All on the very first day of its existence the ultra-eficient “Ethics Committee” heard complaints about five USENET newsgroups, examined the content of all five groups, sought out and obtained our feelings on the matter, sought out and obtained legal advice, and then summarily imposed a ban on the five newsgroups. Officially, the newsgroup ban was imposed because these newsgroups contain obscene things that may be illegal, and the university might just possibly be liable. Unofficially, the ban was imposed because these five newsgroups make the entire university computing resource a “hostile environment” for women. In this article I will tell you how to circumvent the ban if you have a UNIX or WATSTAR account, but first I want to tell you why imposing a ban was a dangerous mistake. The oficial’reason: legal liability Whether the university has a legal liability with respect to USENET newsgroups has to do with whether it has “possession” of the articles, and whether carrying news is akin to publishing a newspaper. It isn’t clear whether the university has a liability here or not, but by imposing a ban the university has probably lost the right to say no. By declaring itself responsible for the content of the newsgroups it carries, the university has opened itself up to a large and dangerous liability. In January USENET generated I, 199,784 news articles. Apparently the university can now be held accountable for the content of each and every one of those articles. Moreover, the difference between “news” and “e-mail” is quite arbitrary. Both are transmitted and stored in essentially the same way, both are texts the system administrators could easily read (if only they had time), and both constitute information dissemi-
nated through university computers. By accepting a responsibility for news, the university has probably accepted responsibility for e-mail as well. Is the University now required to read my private e-mail ? Legally, my guess is yes. There has never been a single case in Canadian law to establish who is liable for what in the electronic world, and yet the university has now embraced a liability for all that is - a liability that is going to grow. The unoficial reason: hostile environment I won’t touch on the “hostile environment” claim too much here, but: * Nobody is required to read a USENET newsgroup. If you find one offensive, don’t read it. - None of the banned newsgroups contained graphic images. Every one of them was information oriented. - The banned newsgroups were used by a lot of women, so it is bizarre to describe them as misogynist. - Banning something because you don’t like what someone else might perhaps just possibly be thinking is offensive, and sounds like thought control. A better way: code of conduct There is a much better way to deal with this problem than imposing a draconian ban on information: establish a simple code of conduct. If anyone displays offensive material on a public terminal, or posts something to a public newsgroup which is offensive and/or illegal, the university should suspend that person’s computing privileges, and/or-take other disciplinary action. If this is done, the University of Waterloo will not be the source of any obscene or illegal material, and the public terminal rooms will not be a “hostile environment” to circumvent the ban If you have a UNIX account and you wish to access the full set of USENET newsgroups, do the following: -Use the command “mkdir $HOMElalt-news” to create an alternative news directory. - Use the following command to run your newsreader:
the ban trn -ENNTPSERVER=news,nod~kedu -EDO’TDIR=$HOMElolt-nevvs If you have a VATSTAR account, use the following command to load your newsreader: NEWS -nntphost=news.noclukedu This will connect your newsreader to a news server (NNTPSERVER) outside of Waterloo. There are several NNTPSERVERs to choose from besides news.nodakedu, you could use either of the following servers instead:gaia.ucs.orstedu, or rocky.ucdovis.edu. These servers will only kt you to read news. If you wish to post news you will have to use a server outside of North America. Try either of the following:newsserver.rrzn.uni-hannover.de or news.fir-berlin.de. You can also post news by mailing it to the news server at U of T. An example of this is mail a/tsex.bondage@cs.toronto.edu. When you do this, you should always put the following three lines at the very beginning of your message: Newsgroups: altsexhondage, from: your-id@your-site, and Subject Whatever. Finally, you can use the “anonymous server” to post news. This server will give you an anonymous user id that you can use to post messages without revealingwho you are. Send mail t&efp@anon.penetfi for further instructions. If you have trouble resetting your NNTPSERVER, a last resort is to use telnet to connect to a BBS on the internet Try the following: tefnet bbs.oiruncedu and follow instructions. All of these methods use up bandwidth on our connection to the outside world so please don’t use them to read newsgroups that are available here at UW. Reading news this way is fairly impolite, but then again, it’s impolite to censor.

Bring specs to me To the editor: re: Can’t see the humour (Imprint, Feb. 4, 1994) A couple of good points were brought up last week by an anonymous author criticizing the School of Optometry’s annual Skit Night. With regards to optometry students making fun of other optometry students, the writer felt “that if they could hurt their fellow classmates with whom they attend classes, how will they treat their patients once they have their own pracrises?” This is certainly a valid concern. In an ideal world, everybody would treat each other kindly. In any line ofwork there is unproductive competitiveness. Hockey players fight with each other. Politicians say bad things about each other. Scientists discredit other scientists’ research. Of course, that does not absolve anyone from the fact that these actions are hurtful. But optometry students are (for the most part!) regular people who are not immune to the idiosyncrasies of humanity. Luckily for the students, these things happen in a humorous setting in which offense is not the main intention (and hopefully not the desired result). Furthermore, to extrapolate the quality of patient care from the quality of student-mentality humour is a great stretch of logic. I would like to emphasize the good things about Skit Night: that it brings together almost all students in friendly competition in a forum of comedy. Some forms of psychotherapy are based on a similar premise. It is also a triumph of teamwork that these skits take place! Often, skits are written up at the last minute with little time for rehearsal {this year was especially dificult, as the event was held on the day the university was cancelled due to the snow), but the show goes on. Participants are reminded to keep the skits in good taste. Although a skit may look good on paper, it may not seem funny at all when acted out. Hopefully, the anonymous writer was aware of the audience’s reaction to skits that just didn’t work. The anonymous author has “lost a lot of respect for some of the students in the Waterloo School of Optometry.” I hope the key word here is “some”. 1 urge people not to be judgemental of optometry students in general. As well, I would appreciate it greatly if such concerns could be directed towards myself (my extension is 5300 or you may write to me c/o the School of Optometry) as I will giadty iook into any specific qualms anyone has about this matter.

Unfortunately, some individual decided that he or she was not required to follow these rules, and instead wrote an extremely offensive remark across some of the graffiti promoting the Sigma Chi Fraternity. As a member of this fraternity I am well aware that there are people on this campus who dislike us. Although these individuals are within their rights to feel this way, I would hope that they would have the maturity to get to know us, instead of simply judging us on the basis of old and inaccurate stereotypes. However, what these individuals have ABSOLUTELY no right to do is to anonymously write slanderous, offensive and unsubstantiated remarks about the members of this fraternity. I can assure you that if su bstantiated allegations of this nature were ever brought against any member of the fraternity that they would be immediately and permanently expelled. In addition, I question why all the members of the fraterniv can be labelled in such a derogatory manner when you would not see all the members of a male athletic team (another all-male and highly cohesive group) held responsible for the unsubstantiated actions of a single member. It seems a shame that in this supposed atmosphere of higher learning there are individuals who still feel they have a right to anonymously defame other individuals or groups. Hopefully this pathetic practice will stop before the Federation of Students, or some other regulatory body, will be required to step in and regulate the content of the messages on these billboards.

Arts computers underfunded To the editor= If you read The Globe and Mairs Saturday, February 5 edition, you would have noticed a front page story about the University of Waterloo. In the story, our institution was referred to as one of the country’s leaders in computer science and research. I wonder how many arts students would chamcterize our school this way? How many arts students have a great deal of trouble getting access to a WORKING terminal!? How many arts students even reaiize that they can even get a computer account? i-low many arts students question why they have to pay for their computing on an hourly basis while other faculties do not? Why is there such a gap between the quality of facilities allotted to (and the access available to), say, engineering students, and those of arts students! What is going on here and why should we allow it to continue? The university has received funds for projects as detailed in a recent article in the Gazette. Why not use some of this money, with the effort of students to raise a matching sum, to upgrade the computing f&cilities available for arts students? Nothing will happen or change, however, unless we demand change. if any arts students have had bad
and/or unsatisfactory experiences with thecomputingf:+riiitiesallotted tothem, I urge you 10 contact me, through interc2 i: ii i15 mail or e-mail (if I can get a terrllr;ial), describing your complaint. If the powers that be know that there is a problem, maybe we can start the wheels in motion to equalize opportunicies for all students here on campus. Mom Dept.

Truth not rational To the editor= Dear Craig [Nickerson] I read your recent column on Pascal Wager’s as well as a few others previously. 1must say that I truly appreciate your discussions, as I find that they contain credible thoughts and arguments. I am impressed that you have taken the time to consider the issues in such depth, and certainly encourage you in your effort. I am a Christian, and I find it interesting to see your perspective on faith and belief in God. It has allowed me to better understand some of my own beliefs. I would, however, like to present to you some of my reactions to your column on Pascal’s wager. In your column, you talk about being “lovers of truth”, and that “truth can be discovered by reason alone.” If such truth exists, why is it that so many different beliefs and philosophies exist, even among seemingly reasonable people? I would offer two possible explanations to that question. First is that truth is merely something we perceive in ourselves as a result of our own perceptions and experiences. In such a case, truth exists only in the human mind, and one person’s truth need not agree with another person’s truth, for both are valid truths to the individuals. The second explanation I offer is that there is an ultimate truth that exists seperate and independent of the human mind. That is, the truth exists, but the human mind cannot fully understand it, in the same way that nobody understands everything about nature or science. I would go so far as to say that it is impossible for us as humans to fully comprehend the truth. Thus it is in our lack of understanding that this lack of perception and agreement of the truth occurs. I agree that we should be lovers of truth, but how can we love the unless we truly know what the truth is? Now, I believe in God, and I do have logical reason why I am convinced of his existence, but still I say that despite the awesome abilities of our human mind, I cannot fully comprehend the truth. So what validates my belief? As you mentioned, even in religious circles beliefs vary greatly. While this fact truly distresses me, I must say that this is still a result of the inability of the finite human mind to comprehend the infinite God in which we believe. I believe that the ultimate truth we search for is contained in this infinite God himself, and we can no more fully understand this infinite God and the truth He holds, than can an amoeba understand us. Now you might ask, why should I believe in a God for whom I see no proof of His existence. As much as I can say that I am convinced by reasonable evidence, I do not expect that you will
be convinced by the same evidence. I would suspect, given your knowledge of the subject, you have already heard some of the arguments for the existence of God. However, I do not think that this is the most important issue. it is on this point that I truly contradict your arguement, that is, reason alone is not our path to the truth. Given the supposition that all truth is contained in God Himself, He alone can reveal the ruth to us. True enough, we are creatures of reason, but you cannot deny that we are also more than that. No one can say that their every act is one of reason, and that emotions have never control led them. Our whole striving to find truth and meaning in our lives is out of an emotional need in our life, that we would feelthere is purpose to our life. Therefore i say that we are as much emotional ‘+nd spiritual beings as we are rational beings, and thus God can reveal truth to us in ways that may not be considered rational, that can not be fully explained, just as much as He can reveal truth ‘in more rational ways. Why is &then that God does not reveal His truth in such a way that all would see His e&tence as reasonable? I can offer an illljstration in my own understanding,given the realization that God loves us. Con+der love as we experience it humanly, We love - someone out of respect for them. Someone who pleads for love is not respected and therefore not loved. We cannot force someone to love us, love is given out of free will, and cannot be bought( i,e. “money can’t buy me love”). These same rules apply to God, who created the rules in the first place. God wants us not just to believe in him, but to respect and love Him and to have an intimate relaiionship with Him. God has expressed his love for us, ultimately sacrificing a part of Himself to make the relationship with him possible. It is only of our free will that we might return that love. 1 offer these views as part of my

own limited understanding. I do not expect you to be convinced that what I say or anyone else says is true. I do, however, challenge you to seek the true source of truth. Present your true and heart-felt questions to God in your search for the truth. God cares about you and He is willing and able to defend His existence. I hope and pray that you will find the truth. If God is dead, who is this living inside me? john

Thanks be to you To the editor= Several weeks ago, I left my calculator in the Post Office after purchasing some stamps. It wasn’t until later that evening that I realized that I had not picked it up after setting it down on the counter. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank the very honest individual who found the calculator and turned it in. Upon returning to the Post Office the next day, hoping fern vently that it would still be there, imagine my delight on being told that it had been found. I don’t know the name of the individual who turned it in, but I would like to express my deep gratitude to him/her for their honesty and caring. It was a scientific calculator, and would have been difficult and expensive to replace. After hearing of all the failings of humanity in the media, etc., it’s a refreshing change to be able to say that it just isn’t so. So, to whomever you are...a very big thank-you. Your honesty is much appreciated, Heidi Vanstone 16 lions Co-cq

Multiversities Fl us To the editor: The best graduates of the 1990s wonder why they went. But induction into “student life” at UW, or any other comparable learning institution in the Western world, can not be expected to be a life changing experience for most young people. This is because it is not required for them to make any shift at all in their acceptance in the student environment of why they exist. In fact, induction into the multiversity is a smooth process for the vast majority. The multiversity ( the term was coined by George Grant, a Canadian philosopher, about thirty years ago) is an institution which merely completes the process of interfacing young people with the technological paradigm dominant in today’s Western world. How-

I I, 1994 ever, it is a mistake to think that any process of indoctrination is taking place here. That, if it could be conceived as necessary, could only be done much much earlier in a person’s life. Moreover, it is a mistake to think that the converse of indoctrination, the expansion of the mind, can occur here either, except in concerted covert dissension. The implications of this are that within the operating principles of the multiversity, there are really no fundamental challenges. The multiversity, in which we students have no choice but to participate, is an institution which deconstructs the learning process so that participants must concentrate within narrowly defined compartments or “fields” of study. This specialization is necessary in order to ensure that research is done in the institution that will contribute in a concrete way to the efficient advancement of the technological society. ’ It is crucial to realize that “technology” is used here as much more than merely a term meaning the production of electronic gadgets. In fact, it is wrong to think that we live in merely a technologicallyoriented world. We do

not live in an age that simply “worships the machine”. The true distinction of our society, particulary vivid .in North America, is that we believe wholeheartedly that we, as humans, can and must be the creators of the world we live in. Upon this primal faith foundation, rational reorganization must progress. Each person is to perform a specifictechnigue in contribution to the ever expanding project If anything is defied in our time, it is this project more than its product. A person’s value simply relates primarily to the quality and secondarily to the quantity of his or her participation in the project. The multiversity is a hive for training quality workers. There are, then, no immune departments. Fields in the humanities have been reorganized and are now equally speiialized. For example, religious studies programs study the obstacles to be overcome from past religious practices and how religion can be reorganized to complement the technological society. Classicists study the societal functions of myths in order to determine their utility. English students are taught that there is no meaning beyond the text in literature. Of course some are more equal than others. Specialization in the pure sciences and engineering is obvious and celebrated. But it is hard to justify the retention of dance, for example, which is seen as an antiquated and impractical remnant from some paradigm that nobody can remember. By contrast, the university is a scscietal institution which raises individual’s consciousness to the universal. There is no course of studies that
produces specific results irrelevant to another, Students are brought together, anonymity does not exist, Students take priority over research. Yet it does not purport to reach out to all of society’s members, but only to those who are capable of reaching out to it, It does not pretend that it is not difficult for students to elevate to a state of participation in the universal. First, it requires not only high but also broad qualities of students. Then demands are made upon students not only to seek after a high standard of knowledge, but also to engage in rigorous reflection on the interrelationships of what they have learned, and express their learning in an original fashion. Moreover, it is not “egalitarian” because it recognizes that mistakes are possible, that wrong opinions can be formulated, and that these have dire consequences. It is indeed concerned with morality as a basis of knowledge. But the university is an institution that is counterproductive in a technocracy, and so has ceased to exist. The new students coming into the environment of the multiversity today have, with few exceptions, from an early age completely accepted the technological paradigm, and thus have few problems accepting its distinctive programme. “Jobs”, the driving concern of all, has another dimension for the average student than merely a means to personal wealth, For to get a job is to participate in what is known and famiiiar - in the technological imperative. This is the celebrated “need for achievement”. This path requires for the student only such superficial changes as

If it weren’t for the early of Jesus being missionaries (spreading the Good News about the risen Christ) then there would be no such thing as Christianity today. I know many people would say that’s a good thing, but Christianity despite its faults and shortcomings has been one of the greatest liberating and humanizing forces in history. For this we must give thanks to the missionaries who faithfully shared their belief in the gospel of their Messiah and the love of God for humanity. Before I go on let me say that the breed of missionary I am talking about also exists in Islam and Buddhism, two other religions with a missionising outlook.

subjective To the editor= I just wanted to take a moment to lend my support to the arguments regarding sexual harassment education put fomard by Tasha Lackman in her Feb. 4 article “UW deals with sexual harassment”. What especially impressed me was her division of the need for education into two distinct areas. Besides the commonly argued “many people are not aware that they are harassing someone”, Lackman adds that “similarly many are not aware that they are being harassed”. I find this second point particularly crucial. Since harassment means “to trouble or annoy continously” (i.e. is subjective), I am convinced that the present lack of education invariably results in some people simply never feeling harassed; a situation which is quite fmnkly intolerable. Well done Tasha!

is the general the people and cultures they are missionizing to. Maybe I’m caricaturizing in the extreme but it seems to me that the people who most often become missionaries, especially of the evangelicat breed, are also those who are the least informed historically and theologically and carry with them a spirit of Christian imperialism in their encounter with “non-believers.” The meeting of the evangelical missionary with the non-believer is a strange one because the missionary tends to believe that they are God’s only way of communicating the “saving power of Jesus!!!” to this person they are encountering. The missionaries that I’ve known tend to assume that their understanding of God is the only possible understanding which then must be impressed upon the hearts and minds of everyone to save them. Encounters like this are simply “one-way” with the missionary “blahbtahing” Jesus Christ at people and forcing silly Bible tracts onto those whom they believe are going to be damned (that’s if they don’t become born again). There is not often a chance for a real human relationship/encounter to occur where both parties, the missionary and the non-believer learn something from each other. Evangelical missionarief, especially the neurotic militant species never get to the heart of the people because their approach and uqderstanding of God is by its nature alienating those whom they wish to communicate with. If you happen to run into a missionary some day, and they do exist in Waterloo, don’t try to argue with them, just nod assuredly when they say “God loves India!” And if you can’t help but be an asshole, ask the missionary about the crusades and how their theology compares to it, not out of mockery but just to wake the person up Out of their Jesus-freak approach to religion. 7312views expressed in this column ore those ofthe author and do not necessady represent those ofevery member of the UW Student Christian Movement

Market
In an almost unbelievalble manoeuvre this ‘week, a government actually responded to what the market was telling them. Jean Chretien cut the taxes on cigarettes, so that they re now (in t Quebec) almost half price. But when, for the love of god, are the communists running this province going to realize that this is also a good plan for Ontario. When hell freezes over, no doubt, or this fall ‘when the election comes. It took years of a black market for the government to realize that they cannot fight what people want. Fighting the desires of the people is expensive, and in the end, both the people in the state and the government are worse off. lake cigarettes, then, as an example. By putting an unreasonable tax on them has three effects, all of them expensive and bad. First of all, it creates a black market. Where a demand exists, a supply will be provided to deal with it In this case, the Akwesasne and other Indian reserves that cross both the American and Canadian border. These individuals are now labelled smugglers and bootleggers and are subject to police action. This is especially ironic considering that it was lndjans who first taught white people how to grow tobacco here. Secondly, the “legal” sellers of tobacco products are now forced to compete with this black market, and, since their products are twice the asking price, their chances of success are slim. There is an economic model to describe this phenomenon, it’s called the laffer curve. The laffer curve is a bell curve, and along the horizontal axis is the tax rate, along the horizontal axis is the revenue received from the taxes. As t said, the curve is bell shaped, so up to a

Basically, this can also be called the “People will only put up with so much government ‘bullshit” curve. If you tax something enough, people will a) decrease their consumption of it and/or b) get the product through some other means. The government is hoping that the former effect will take place, and people will stop
smoking, thus stop killing themselves,
and stop
being such a burden on the health care system. Unfortunately, they don’t realize two things. First (and this is the third bad effect) it costs a lot of money to “protect” the province against illegal cigarettes. Secondly, this is really expensive considering the fact that the government has already cut its tax profits from the legal cigarettes because of the laffer curve. Okay, so economically, this type of tax is complete fucking suicide. So, now we want to take a look at the long terms costs of health care. Now this is only a problem if we thinkthat people should not be accountable for their actions. The great thing about this is that smokers are almost universally despised, so it doest$t ake all that much to convince people that universal health care shouldn’t be extended to them. It seems rather silly that our government should say to smokers who have fallen ill because of their habit that “Well, you know that smoking causes about a billion problems, and this is completely your own stupid fault, but we’ll still collect a lot of money from other people to solve the problem of your stupidity.” I smoke, and I realize the short term pros and the long terms cons, but that’s my decision to make, and I don’t expect other people to pay for my mistakes.

“Muhammad is not the father of any of your Men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah and the SEAL of the Prophets, and Allah has full knowledge of all things.” -translation of the meaning of the Qur’an [39:40]
THE
LAST
PROPHET
by Khaled Sharaf
When a document is sealed, it is complete, and there can be no further addition. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) closed the long line of the Prophets. Allah’s teachings are and will be continuous, but there has been and will be no prophet after Muhammad. The later ages may need thinkers and reformers, not prophets. This is not an arbitrary matter. It is a decree full of knowledge and wisdom: “for Allah has full knowledge of all things.” By choosing Muhammad (PBUH) to be the Seal of the Prophets, Allah has not lost contact with or interest in humans, and humans have not been barred from seeking Allah or obstructed in his aspiration to Him+ On the contrary, by choosing Muhammad to be the culmination of Prophethood and the Quian to be the completion of Revelation, Allah has established a permanent medium of communication between Himself and humans till the Last Day. In addition, there are other specific points thar show why Muhammad (PBUH) is the Last Prophet, From among these, a few may be mentioned: * The Qur’an states in unequivocal words that Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets. This decree is based on the original and pure authenticity ofthe Qur’an, on the universality of Islam, on the applicability ofthe Qur’anic teachings to every situations every age and every human, on the conclusive and unique accomplishments of Muhammad. Ir is noteworthy to point out that such a statement has NOT been made before in the previous divine books. Nowhere, even in the present-time versions of the Torah and the GOSpels, has any Prophet ever claimed that he is the LAST Prophet but many of those Prophets, including Moses, Jesus and others who came between those two great Prophets (PBUT), foretold the advent of Muhammad (PBUH), the LAST
Prophet * Muhammad himself stated that he was the LAST Prophet of Allah. A Muslim, or anyone else for that matter, cannot question the truth of this statement. Throughout his life, Muhammad was known to be most truthful, honest and modest. His integrity and truthfulness were beyond doubt not only in the sight of Muslims bur also in the minds of his most staunch opponents. * The profile of Prophet Muhammad in previous Books was so clear to many Jews and Christians among his contemporaries that many of them embraced Islam and accepted him as the fulfillment of numerous Biblical prophecies. Ever since, there have been many others who arrived at the same conclusion. Historical evidence shows that most of those were well-versed in their own Scriptures. The elements of Prophet Muhammad’s profile described within those prophecies include: his lineage, his characteristics, the location from which he was to come, the revelation which was to be given to him, events which were to take place in his lifetime, time when he was to come, and even his explicit name. * Prophet Muhammad fulfilled his mission and completed his work in his lifetime. Before he died, the Qur’an stated that the religion of Allah (Islam) had been completed, and the truth of this revelation has been guarded and will be safely preserved [5:3 and 1031. No Prophet before Muhammad had done or accomplished so much as h,e did! And no one after him, of those who have claimed prophethood, have done anything comparable to what he did! For a copy of The Qur’an or for more information about Muhammad being foretold in previous Books, please call (5 19) 725 - 4283 or send an e-mail to ksharaf@ hi. uwaterloa ca.

Fee Committee
The University of Waterloo administration and student leaders have been meeting for about a year in the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Ancillary Fees. This committee was created to review and recommend all fees assessed by the University, the Federation of Students, the Craduate Student Association and other studentgroups. The members of the committee are: Associate Provost, Academic Affairs, President, Federation of Students, President Graduate Student Association and the Treasurer of the University. Available as resources to the committee are: Associate Provost, Student Affairs, Dean of Graduate Studies, Director of Operations Analysis and Registrar. Recently the focus of discussion in this committee has been the proposed Student Services Ancillary Fee. In order to inform the university community about the proposed fee, the following summary of facts and answers to some often asked questions has been prepared by the members of the Ancillary Fee Committee. What

least a I % ($ I .8 Million) reduction in grants from the province, and future cuts are expected. Without replacement revenues to compensate for government funding cuts, UW will be forced to reduce Academic and non-Academic services and/or programs. No decisions have been made about which services, but we are hoping to minimize reductions by increasing revenues wherever possible.

as their costs. We have suspended further discussions while we get feedbackfrom students. We are planning a survey to be distributed to all students (including co-op students on work terms) in the next few weeks to learn how important each service is to students. Students will also be asked whether an all-pay or a user-pay system is preferred, and whether or not it is appropriate to ask students to pay
Is the whole cost of these services to be paid for by the students? No, only the costs of providing students (not others) with non-academic services would be recovered by the fee. In Health Services, for example, all of the services are of a non-academic nature, but only 44% of these services are provided to students. Therefore, only 64% of the costs are to be recovered by the fee.

Special Needs Services are provided by the English Language Proficiency Program (ELPP). The Writing Clinic of ELPP provides specialized,

for some services. Students will be allowed to make additional comments. The surveys will give us a better idea of students’ opinions, and based on that, a recommendation will be forwarded to the University. None of these things can be accomplished by way of referendum: the issues do not lend themselves to a “yes or no” question. To do so would be an oversimplification of the questions that face us now. In addition, student referenda are only binding on student leaders, not the UniversityThe same direction that we are seeking can be achieved more successfully through the use of a survey. Perhaps, at some future time, a referendum would be appropriate; for example, if a new service is being contemplated, or if an existing one might dramatically change how it operates. However, the method by which students are consulted will be up to future student leaders, and we are not in a position to determine how that is to be done beyond our terms. We ask that you take the time to complete a survey and return it to the Federation of Students, the Graduate Student Association, or the Faculty Societies. The issue of ancillary fees is an important one for all students; not only will the outcome decide which services will be the financial responsibility of students, it will be a reflection on the priorities of both the University and students.

function of Health Services but are not recoverable from OHIP. Other activities that involve Health Services employees are orientation, health promotions, counselling, the administration of the Supplementary Health Plan and the AntiDate/Acquaintance Rape program. Unrecovered costs related to UW employees, occupational health and administration are excluded. Safev is involved in many aspects of student life. The depaiunent of Safety is active during orientation and student events to ensure the safety at these events. They are also involved in personal safety issues and investigations related to accidents for students on work-terms and internships. Involvement in WHMIS, and radiation and lab safety programs are not included since they are directly connected with academic activities. PersonuK~nselling is provided through Counselling Services and Engineering and Environmental Studies counselling. The services provide a place where students can go to find help. You can develop better approaches to your studies, explore career interests and talk over personal dilemmas and tensions. You can share your concerns with qualified counselling professionals in one-to-one or group settings. Athletics: Our athletics and recreation programs provide access to instructional programs, leadership development, clubs, and competitive and recreational leagues. Students are provided with free use of facilities, sports equipment, towel service, etc. Career Servicesis related to, but separate from Co-op Education. Career Services provides employment and career planning through workshops and seminars. A resource centre is maintained for students to seek information on employment opportunities and career planning.
Financial
Aid Administration
is a service which facilitates both need-based and scholarship-based financial aid. For need-based aid, the costs are similar to the costs that a borrower would have to pay if they were seeking a mortgage or a personal loan from a financial institution. For scholarship-based aid, the costs are not only in contacting the donors and disbursement to students, but in assessing and ranking the applicants for the awards.

Duncan
Since last term, we have been meeting with University administrators to discuss a Student Services fee. This committee was struck by our predecessors nearly a year ago. At that time, the topic of a student fee arose from several different student service areas, The committee permits all services and fees for those services to be reviewed, so that no fee is examined without consideration for overall fee levels. We agreed to participate in these talks because the University has indicated that a fee is planned for implementation in the near future, and we want a say in how this is done. Since the beginning of these discussions, almost $I million has been removed from consideration for a student fee. This accomplishment would not have been realized had we not agreed to talk with the University. We have also spent our time learning more about the types of services provided as well

In recent years, the university has suffered a number of financial blows adding up to more than $ I6 Million in tomI. The Student Service Ancillary Fee is one of the ways the university is seeking to compensate for financial reductions. In 1992-93, the UW operating budgets were reduced by 1.5% ($ I .7 Million). The 1993-94 year opened with a 2.6% ($4.5 Million) budget cut which resulted in the layoff of 15 people. Then, during the year, the Ontario government hit the university with three more reductions - Social Contract, Expenditure Controls, and tax increases. These three reductions resulted in an additional $ IO Million cut in the operating budget. Some of the $I 0 Million has been postponed a few years by unpaid days for faculty and staff, savings from reduced payments into the pension plan and other temporary budget cuts. We already know that 1994-95 will bring at
and services. Second, the SSAC would provide students with a strong, clear voice on future services and fees in the Student Service area* The six students and six university administrators, chaired by a student, would “regularly review student sewices supported in whole or in part by ancillary fees” (from the mandate of the proposed Student Sefvices Advisory Committee, SSAC). Recommendations regarding what portion of a service should be funded by an all-pay or a user-pay fee would be developed in the SSAC. Providing information to students and seeking advice from students are key elements in the formal philosophy statement of the SSAC. The committee would ensure accountability by providing “a formal report on activities at least once a year” (from the philosophy section of the proposed Student Services Advisory Committee).

No, the plans call for part-time students to pay 30% of the full-time student rate- This is based on the full-time equivalency rules for graduate students and is somewhat less than the decision point for part-time status for undergraduates (2 courses in 5 course average load is 40%).

Yes, at least in the beginning. Alternatives can be discussed during the phase in period. The alternative to “all-pay” is a “user-pay” system where individual users would pay at the time a service is used e.g. pay for the use of a towel in the PAC. A blend of all-pay and user-pay, where only a portion of the costs are recovered from an allpay fee may be appropriate in some areas of

Neither students nor staff working in Student Services would be well served by a referendum. Existing services have been developed over many years to serve a real student need. A simple referendum risks denying such needs. We believe it preferable to ask the SSAC to review the services and fees and to recommend changes that would better serve the students in an efficient and effective way. Student input would be sought and can-be obtained from such things as public meetings, surveys and general meetings.

Fees
Probably the easiest way to ensure that people don’t speaktheir mind is to make them feel they have no choice/power. One method is to bombard with information at the last possible moment so that people feel (rightfully) confused and that the issue is too complex to bother with. How about that Canadian constitution? In the interest of being clear yet respectful of the complexities of the “new money grab fee”, we’ve put together some of the questions people are asking and our answers. If you want more information, feel free to stop by the WPI RG office or give us a call at 888-4882. Hope we’ve been clear! What is this new fee? The proposed fee is an ancillary fee, which means it is on top of tuition. This $ I00 fee would be compulsory, meaning you must pay in order to receive credit for your courses.
Public Interest”, OUSA, October 1993). The Council of Ontario Universities (the same people who suggested we have a 50% tuition increase for next year) sent a report to universities recommending they follow this plan to implement a student services fee and “refrain from the introduction of new ‘gray-area’ ancillary fees such as capital fees, scholarship fees, or computing fees unless and until that institution has fully explored and exploited the opportunities for legitimate fees as identified in this report” (Council of
What
Scenario
Can this be a tax deduction? No. Only academic fees (read tuition) are recognized as tax deductions. Service and ancillary fees are not recognized by the government as taxable deductions. Does this mean there won’t be a tuition increase? NO. The government regulates tuition and ancillary fees separately, and there is no maximum cap for ancillary fees. The tuition increase will be announced the day after the budget. Both of our provincial studentgroups, OUSA and CFS-0, are opposed to ancillary fees. OUSA has gone as far to say “in most respects, they are just tuition hikes by another name” (“In The

Out of the blue the university implements a new “student services fee” which you must pay with your tuition every term or you won’t be allowed to be a student The services will not be upgraded, the university just arbitrarily decided they could get more money from their students. Some students start talking and decide that if they all fight this fee together they have a better chance of getting a fair deal. They write up a petition saying they might be willing to pay a fee, but only after a majority of students have agreed to pay a fair amouht. Would you sign?

Ancillary fees are not academic costs and are therefore not taken into account by OSAP. The full cost of ancillary fees wiil have to be paid by the student regardless of the amount of the fee implemented. Students holding scholarships which simply pay for the academic costs of tuition will also be affected, since the funding agency will not recognize these extra fees.
mittees? In the end, n&t much. They don’t make the final decision and neither does the person the committees report to. Add to this the coincidence that UW created a 5-year financial plan (I 992- 1997) which included a suggestion that $3 million per year might be recoverable from students at UW, the same amount this virtually unrelated committee came up with last fall. Do other
Ontario Universities, January I993).. Currently this type of ancillary fee isn’t regulated by the government CFS-0 has lobbied the government saying that ancillav fees are essentially back-door tuition hikes. It’s rumoured that the government is considering banning universities from implementing new ancillary fees, but if fees already exist chances are they’ll be allowed to continue collecting.
The University of Toronto and the University of Western Ontario have already implemented a similar fee. However, University of Guelph administra-

are students doing about this fee? In hopes of getting the same deal as University of Guelph students, we’ve started a petition calling on the Federation of Students and Graduate Students Association to hold referenda in which students would decide if they wanted the right to decide if we want new compulsory ancillary fees, and if we do want them, how much they would be. The graduate students have already collected enough signatures for their petition, so they’ll be having a referendum. You can also let people know what your views are, talk to the Feds (ext2478, Campus Centre 235), write a letter to Imprint, call/write the Associate Provost for Student Affairs Peter Hopkins (ext.455 I, Needles Hall 205 I), or call/ write President James Downey (ext44U0, Needles Hall 305 I). Everyone is welcome to join our Ancillar y Fees Working Group at WPIRG. Remember your silence means another $100 on your tuition statement every term! Have students ever managed to stop a fee increase? Yes, In the late 1980’s UW tried to implement a compulsory “computer fee” and this was stopped after students protested both on-campus and across the province, In 1972 students convinced the provincial Tory government to implement a five-year tuition freeze, after only a few students refused to pay their tuition. Because someone wants us to pay doesn’t mean a fee is inevitable. Students have fought together for reasonable fees and we can do it again. Where are the petitions? In the Campus Centre on the Petitions bulletin board (by the washrooms). You can also sign/pickup petitions at the WPIRG office, General Services Complex Room 125.

You’re looking for a place to live and decide on an apartment partly because it includes use of a swimming pool and laundry facilities at no extra cost.

What will the money be used for? The money collected will go into UW’s operating budget, and we’re being told it will be used to cover present costs of operating what the administration terms “non-academic student sewices”. This means we will be paying for such things as lighting, heating and salaries for Health &Safety, Personal and Career Counseling, the Physical Activities Complex, Financial Aid administration, and the English Language Proficiency Program.

This fact is the conclusion of several studies in the USA, quoted in Williams’ repoe Reasons for the increased number of accidents on salted roads include reduced visibility due to the semiopaque, white film of salt which accumulates on windshields. Also, pavement that has been deiced with salt actually maintains a thin, slippery film of ice, created by the moisture-retention of salt which remains on the road. Motorists, then, are inclined to drive more quickly and carelessly because of the false sense of security they derive from the apparently ice-free roads.
Alternatives Contrary to what current road maintenance practices might lead us to believe, there are many alternatives to the use of sodium chloride to de-ice roads.

What started as a close affair threatened to turn into a Guelph rout when the visitors led 39-24 with 3: I3 to play in the first half. But Waterloo decided to make it interesting.

A Balfe bucket put Waterloo back on top for good, with Cuelph hanging tough until Balfe took a Urosevic pass to the hoop for the clinching basket.

It was a tantalizing taste the Warriors enjoyed late in the first half. It was the taste of blood.

Off to the frozen wasteland of Fairbanks, Alaska, if you can’t win at least one game this season against the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks! Well, the Warriors have been swept by the Golden Chickens, the latest game happening on Wednesday night at the Icefields, and, yes indeed, the Warriors are on their way to Alaska for a two game series with the Fairbanks Nanooks this weekend. In the first three meetings between the Warriors and Laurier, Waterloo gave up exactly 7 goals in each game, and they certainly didn’t deviate from the norm as they lost to the highschoolers from down the road in a 97 offensive slugfest. What cost the Warriors in this game was stupid penalties, and the ref s inability to call obvious infractions. Notable in the “not so smart” category were two calls for interfering with the goaltender against Chris Kraemer and Dean MacDonald, with both penalties resulting in Lauriergoals. For Kraemer this is completely out of character, while MacDonald is no stranger to the sin-bin+ and he has watched his share of opposition goals from this vantage point. The missed infractions were best exemplified by Laurier forward Mark Strohack, who broke the blade of his
stick by spearing John Williams in the stomach. The ref called it two for tripping. Hello?! Want to watch the game?! Particularly infuriating for the Warriors was the crowd, and their lack of volume. A few Waterloo fans were vocal, but it seemed that half of our arena was filled with Laurier kids who were screaming away the whole game. This would have been tolerable, were it not for the complete lack of class on the part of the Laurier coaching staff
member who was taking Laurier penalty box. When players yell each other that’s one they can settle it on the
stats from the obscenities at thing, because ice, but when a
supposed professional screams “You’re a fucking piece of shit” repeatedly at a
Warrior in the penalty box, one has to question their integrity, ability, and outright intelligence. Grow up, or get out. Also sorely missed was the Warrior band, with several players saying how “up” they get with that big bass drum marking out the hits and firing up the fans. It was hoped they would make it to the final home-game of the season, and their disappearance is still a mystery.

are saving their best for the playoffs. Point producers for Waterloo were Jason “Swervyn” Mervyn with IG and 3A, Greg Allen with 2G and IA, and Paul Coffey-like defender John Wynne with IC and 24. Especially strong for the Warriors was their 4th line, who played better than any other line on the ice. Rookie forward Marc Vaughan, a shy, unassuming lad of 6’4”, had his best night of the year, throwing 2 goals past the Laurier pad-holder. - In two other games this past week, Waterloo defeated York 3-I on Sunday, with every goal coming on the power play. Jason Mervyn had two of these tallies, with Steve “Dog” Woods setting up all three goals. Last Thursday’s game hosting Brock was not a positive story, The lead see-sawing between the teams, but Brock broke the hearts of the IceWarriors by firingtwo past netminder Nathan Cressman late in the third. Cressman, son of Waterloo associate coach Dave Cressman, was playing his first full game of the season to allow regular statier Organ a welldeserved night off. His play was strong through most of the game, but the two goals at I8:OO and l8:21 destroyed the spirit of the black and gold, and the Badgers prevailed over Waterloo, 6-5. Waterloo’s home schedule is now complete, with only four more games remaining before the playoffs. Today and Saturday the Warriors are in Fairbanks, Ataska, playing two exhibition games against the Nanooks,wboaretryingtogetNCAA division I status.
punch put Waterloo up 30-26 with 3:24 to play in the first frame, but then the Marauders began to rise from the canvas, scoring eight straight to end the hatf and going on to win 82-72. Waterloo held Vanderpol under his season average for rebounds, ONLY I7 boards, but the hot shooting of Mark Sontrop and Titus Channer that put Waterloo away for good. Sontrop scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half, includingthreetreys. Channer poured in 9 of Mac’s first I I points and went on to score I4 of his I9 in the first frame.
A Channer free throw put Mac up by I6 with less than two minutes left, but treys by Moore and Sean VanKoughnett cut the lead to ten. VanKoughnett finished with 24 points, 20 of those in the second half. Mike Duarte hit two treys en route to a l4-point afternoon, while Urosevic managed only 12 on 4-of- 13 shooting. Moore led UW in rebounds with 8. The Warriors play at Wilfrid Laurier tomorrow at 2 p.m. and host the Western Mustangs next Wednesday night at 8 p.m.
Plague clinches home court With a crucial 3-2 win over the Gryphons in Guelph on Wednesday night, the nationally tenth-ranked Black Plague has clinched first place in the OUAA West with a IO-I record and earned homecourtadvantage until the division final. Head coach Ed Price and the Warriors breathed a major sigh of relief after the match, which renders meaningless tonight’s tilt at Western. And that’s a good thing, too, as the Warriors head into the playoffs hobbling. CIAU all-star setter Shawn Smith came down
with
the flu, did
not play against Guelph, and likely won’t against the ‘Stangs either. Rookie Brian Snooks starts in his place. Perry Strauss is out with an ankle injury, while Matt Reed (achilles tendon, finger) and Rene Holt (shoui-

The CIAU ninth-ranked McMaster Marauders will meet the Western Mustangs in the other semifinal, likely in Hamilton. If Waterloo advances to the final, it will be played next Saturday, February I9 at 2 p.m. in the PAC main gym, which wilt be crowded next weekend, when the OWIAA volleyball final-eight tcxwnarrwnttakes place.

Last weekend was a long one for the UW track and field team. Friday found the Warrior and Athena athletes heading to Western for the Western Invitational. A great performance was put in by all. Saturday was a day of rest for the male half of the track team who were scheduled to venture into the realm of OTFA Track and Field on Sunday. The event -- the Ontario Track and Field Association Championship Relays. The teams entered -- UW’s 4-by-2OO-metre relay (Gerald Kirk, Brad Bruce, Mike Leith and Brent Forrest), 4-by-400-m relay (Forrest, T. JmMackenzie, Kregg Fordyce and Andrew Welburn) and 4by-800-m relay (Mackenzie, Jim Myle& Fordyce, and Jason Gregoire). The plan -- attempt to qualify in all three disciplines for ClAUs to be held in Edmonton this year. All three teams put in a strong performance. The 4-by-400 team started off the day at about I I :3O a.m. In competition with the likes of the Phoenix Track Club and Slippery Rock University from the U.S.A. was anything but comforting* The previous year, the same team, with the excepcion of rookie Welburn, took silver to the Phoenix Club. The Phoenix team that year was anchored by Mark Graham who had competed that summer in Barcelona on the men’s 4-by400 Canadian Olympic Team. This year’s race started off strong with a personal best performance by Forrest of 50.8 seconds. In the middle, Mackenzie put in a strong performance although Fordyce was not quite at his fastest. Welburn finished off the event hard with another personal best of 5 I .8 seconds. The finishing time was I .5 seconds from CIAU standard and a strong third place in the field. The 4-by-800 relay was the next
‘A’ Team and the Laurentian University ‘A’ Team. Queen’s picked up a substantial lead although it was neck in neck with Laurentian as Fordyce ran the third leg of the race. At the exchange to Cregoire, the tension built as the Laurentian anchor put on the heat Gregoire battled to remain in good position behind the Laurentian

The Laurel ntian fans were egging their runner on an he put in a good petformante, but no one beats the Gregoirian Warrior when it’s that close. Gregoire yet again set another personal best in with an 800-m split time of I :54.3. The team came away with a second-place finish but missed standard again by a mere two seconds. The final time for the Warriors was 7:55: IO. Last to run for the day was the 4by-200 team. Last year the 4-by-200 team competed at CIAU in SkyDome also. However, this year the team dissipated for various reasons leaving veteran Forrest with three new running mates. The field was hot: Phoenix was sporting two Canadian Junior National Team runners, as was the very intimidating KW track and field team.

The handoff did the Warriors in. An unfortunate thing but part of the game is how quick the runners can exchange the baton. A fumbling handoff can be the difference between making CIAU stindard and not making it Leith, once secure with the baton, managed a very fast leg of the race, handing off to Brent Forrest who anchored with a personal best of 22 seconds low, the fastest leg yet This put the men second in their heat to KW Track and Field who just missed a new meet record and third overall. A good performance, but again just a second and a half of CIAU standard. With the teams so close to CIAU standard and ranking high in the country over all, coaches McEarJane, Swarbick, and Wilson are ready to take the stops out for the next three weeks oftrainingandcompetition. Head coach McFarlane was pleased with the performances on the weekend and is confident that standard will be attained by Warrior men and women as they move towards OUAAs and OWlAAs at the beginning of March.

review
of
-- Jeff and Ken slag ‘em for all they got -by Jeff Warner Ken Bqson Imprint staff
&
WARNING! The following is highly biased, unfuir, cd solely the opinioil ofJeff und Ken. Do not red it ifyou are expecting u reusonoble summary ofthis year’s electorid process.
Ah, elections. The time of the year when students can pretend that they care about the Federation of Students and the people in it, at least until the election itself, when the vast majority will screw off and fail to vote. And why, pray tell, do students fail to vote? A couple of reasons. ’ First, UW students are, to a large degree, apathetic. The complete and utter lack of participation at ancillary fee forums only highlights this. Everyone is interested in the aksex groups, in whether pictures of bondage and child porn are titillating, sick, or worthy of banning. Virtually no one seems to care about being forced to pay an extra $100 a term. Why? Because ancillary fees are dull. No sex, you see. Second, students are too overworked to really have the time to pay attention. Sure, those running for Fed positions can spend the time to give forums, run campaigns, and formulate opinions, but the rest of the student body wants to get good marks. (We at Imprint have given up on those,) I Third, there are no real issues. This is a biggie. Why care when there’s no!hing to care about? Fourth, the candidates either suck or are nobodies. Or both. With no issues worth caring about, and nobody running who would capture the interest of some poor apathetic schmuck trying to get a 74.5 per cent, why would anyone pay attention? Frankly, we’re surprised that so many students stick around in a common area during a forum with a bunch of people they don’t know saying nothing about issues that don’t interest them. Don’t you have better things to do? I So, in the interest of all apathetic, overworked students who haven’t f&d an issue or candidate to interest them, here is our brief, biased, oversiiplified summary of the people who want to run your Federations of Students, the issues they think are important, and what we feel they’ve really said about those issues. The Presidency. The big one. Two people are running for it, Steve Codrington and Bruce Winter. Unfortunately, neither seems to have the panache or charisma to successfully fulfil their lofty campaign promises. Codrington claims to have many im-

Prez-o-matic instructions: consider the issues above that are important to you, follow chart to see who is campaigning on thut issue, and decide for yourself who the next president should be. portant feelings and opinions relating to students and their concerns, but spends more time inciting people to votethan listing reasons whythey should vote for him. However, he does seem to know how to get involved in the university decision making process, having already raised his concerns to president Downey. Bruce Winter, on the other hand, probably has the ability to be president, but lacks the initiative Codrington has. Winter has lofty ideals, such as involving students in tenure approval processes, but no real implementable ideas. Another of his plans is to improve teaching quality; however, both the tenure and quality plans are lifted from the Feds “Quality of teaching*’ report published last summer. Finally, Winter’s plan to treat “students as clients”
doesn’t quite fit in a marketplace where the service provider has a monopoly and tends to raise prices indiscriminately. Under the vice-president, university affairs category we have another ~0 contenders, Andreas Kurvits and Julie Cole. Kurvits boasts many years of Ped involvement and focuses mainly on^lbbbying higher levels of government:to improve student funding and other such issues. However, he does not seem’to realise his main task as VPUA would be to liaison for the Feds on intra-university affairs more than inter-university affairs. Kurvits has also apparently forgotten his previous role as CR0 of the CFS referendum last year, wherein the “yes” side resigned because they had no faith in him as an unbiased mediator.
Although the “yes” side was extremely harsh and probably unfair in their criticisms, the CFS did threaten legal action against the Feds over their handling of the entire referendum* Kurvits didn’t impress then and doesn’t impress now. Julie Cole takes the alternate platform of campaigning on student life issues here on campus, arguing for more effective student services and safety. While her intentions ‘are undoubtedly sincere, we’ve heard it all before. The biggest thing Cole has going for her is her experience in numerous student life oriented positions on campus. Her other qualifying asset is that she is not Kurvits. The vice-presidenr, operations and finance position is up for grabs for one of four candidates, however, only two seem capable of fulfilling the role.
Ammie Klein is apparently running without a purpose; she vows to improve student services and distribute regular financial reports, but not much else. Reasons for voting for her include her nifty recycled buttons and the really cool Watpubs she organised in Toronto. At Wednesday’s forum she suggested students spoil their ballots rather than not vote at all, which might be a good idea - show support for her by spoiling your ballot She was a Math C&D employee, after all: she can handle money. In the “nobody” category, Leon Briggs has so far mumbled nothing spe cific about any plans. The CCBC is a good idea, he feels, but his soccer refereeing experience apparently doesn’t give him any ideas about new directions or ways to save the Feds . money. At least he does want to increase their profits. Christine Dewhurst, the only VPOF candidate with any really relevant credentials, delivered a verbal barrage at Wednesday’s forum with all of the enthusiasm of a military drill sergeant. Committed to creating student jobs in the Student Life Centre, she feels that a “speakers’ corner” would go a long way towards improving Fed/student communication. The VPOF position doesn’t actually require anyone to do accounting, as Randy Bareham pointed out, which explains why he feels his tenuous experience isn’t too big a hindetance. Though he doesn’t yet know how it will work, he is positive that creating a “Students of Waterloo Accessing Products and SewIces” (SWAPS) service will be great, and help send us on our way to a “‘virtual economy.” Hey, it’s a plan at any mte. And our picks? For president, go with Codrington; he has direction, which is more than you can say for Winter. VPlJAisan even simpler choice: Cole wins by virtue of competing with Kurvits (if he couldn’t handle being CR0 under pressure, do you want him handling your money?). VPOF is the third “default” choice. Klein and Briggs are running on virtually no ideas and no charm, while Dewhurst is too ambitious, leaving Bareham in possession of our vote. The saddest thing is that none of the candidates really recommended themself, with the possible exception of Cole (who had the guts to slightly endorse the altsex bans at one forum). Of course, youarefree to vote for Winter, Kurvits, Dewhurst, Briggs, or Klein, or spoil your ballot, or spend the day in the Bomber without voting. just don’t blame us for it when the shit hits the fan.

I don’t see this as a very costly expenditure, the most it would take is probably a volunteer, bringing it on-line and getting a computer.
much I can do for the stu-
dents. My experience on campus has given me a feel for what students think is important. Most of my experience with the Federation of Students has only been this term as the co-chair of the Gender Issues Board. 1like to think that that is actually in my favor, because I haven’t come into the Federation knowing exactly how everything works or with the attitude that it has always been that way and that we can’t change it.
Student Life Centre I’m kind of excited about where the Federation is going this year. I think the biggest thing is the new Student Life Centre that’s being built right now. That will make a big diffeence as we work up to next fall. There’s going to be a chance to introduce some exciting changes to the Federation of Students. There is no reason for students to have
JulieVPUACole A lot of people say that you tdke a studentgovernment position because ,t’s glorifying: you get power, and you make money, but if I wasn’t interested in the student body, and what was going on on campus, I’d get another job next yearin which I’d make more money and have a lot less stress. I like the school, I like Waterloo, and I think I can do a good job of this.
The Village
Don Projects
Basically 80 % of what you have to do is set, just like any job and maybe there’s a 20 % range of new projects. The whole philosophy I want to push here is students helping students. For example the neighbourhood don program. This is a workable project, it seems to be working great at Western, and there’s a couple of other universities that have similar programs. I know
that the transition for first year students can be really tough. I want to have somebody in all the different neighbourhoods off-campus as a resource person and a bit of a social convener. Ideally I’d like a situation where university students wil1 never feel completely alone, so that they have somewhere to turn. It’s the same for the coop stdents, that’s why we’re working
Safety Safety is always an issue. I don’t like harping on it too much because I don’t think a lot gets done, and I like to thinkthat the things I discuss are things I can do. I do think we need a change in perspective, maybe some new ideas about what we can do about safety on co-op work terms. There’s a lot of Fed bashing going on, but f think that it is a re-run well. I do have a lot of respect for the people who are up there and I think that they are doing a good job. But’ with every system there are going to be things that need to be refined. Right now they are talking about a bit of a restructuring of the Feds, which would bring some of the boards under three board chairs, and bring it together. I support that wholeheartedly, because it would take advantage of what we have now and improve it.
Leon Briggs VPOF I’ve been involved in various aspects of campus life for almost all of my time here. I’m currently president of the Carribbean Students Association (CSA) and I’ve been executively involved for the past three years. I was sports representative in my second year and vice president last year. I’ve worked at the Post Office for the last three years. I was a referee for three years. I’ve also been involved in a couple other groups (the Navigators Club, and in the University Catholic Community. So for the past four years of experiencing different areas of campus life, I’ve come to appreciate sutdent views and what they’d like to see. I’m interested in being able to do more. In the role of VPOF, I’d be able to give back something back to the campus as a whole, and to the student body, and draw on the experiences that I’ve had in the past four years. From working with the CSA and in the Post Office, I’ve gotten an internal perspective. of the working of the Federation which I believe gives me quite alot of insight into how things are
done.
this by having the cul-
tural caravan once or twice a year; this is an avenue in which they try to promote this integration. But I think that in the last couple of years, it hasn’t been all that succesful. For example, in the caravan fast fall, not all that many clubs participated, and it really didn’t come off as well as I’d like to have seen. Something like that should be a great learning experience but I don’t think that it should be the only event of that type. Other things co--sponsored by the Feds, could incorporate the clubs. As an example, the CSA, along with the Indian Students Association and the Philipine Students Association had the Unity Jam. This is something that was initiated by INDSA, but we all came together and it was pretty successful. Although small, it can go a long way to promote interaction between the clubs. You come to university primarily for education, but there are many different aspects of univesity life whch people should try to grasp. That idea is . just one way of ensuring that students enjoy a fuller experience but there are others. For example, the new Student Life Centre could be a great way for students to become involved with the businesses and clubs that will be there .It will go a long way in promoting more student interaction. One of the biggest problems in the Federation is that of visibility and communication. Students don’t know what the Feds have to offer, and see it as a waste of money, but they do a lot to enhance student life.There’s a lot we can do to try and enhance that visibilty and open up communication

I might just do a quick videotape and flip it down at the Bomber in between TSN and the movies. Everyone likes to see their face on TV. I think that’s the way
the city, good bars, cheap food...so that they don’t feel stranded and abandoned. Safety What I’m suggesting and proposing is that we have, as part of co-op, training on what to do when you’re sexually harrassed. Another thing that I would like to see on campus is a centralized special interest outreach team with “experts”‘who deal with such issues as date tape. Basically, what I really want is for all the Fed services to be really accessible, with the new Student Life Centre. I work at Pals and at the Legal Resource ofice and I sometimes worry about the lack of confidentiality. That may deter a lot of students from using the service and it could be a good service, With the new Student Life Centre, space will be available to make things a little more comfortable and confidential.
OUSA I think that the UW has really been a pillar of OUSA: Since it looks like we’re going to get a 15% increase, OUSA will basically be a a provincial lobbying group. I would work to make sure that these 15% hikes would be matched dollar for dollar by the government and that the money we spend doesn’t go toward the university as a whole, but towards the quality ofteaching. OUSA is a fairly realistic approach. New Fed Boards One of the problems with the Feds right now is that the boards are changing chairs every 4 months, so what happens is that a chair comes in and they’re not really given instructions of what to do and constant numbers, etc. By the time they’ve figured out what to do, the term is over. Our team is proposing a change to that structure by implementing paid yearlong positions That would make it more cohesive.

campus centre.
Christine Dewhurst VPOF My view of the VPOF position is that it requires a good knowledge of accounting, which I have, to see problems that are up there. Student Life Centre I see problems with the Student Centre. What’s going to happen is that the Feds are going to fund its deficit That money is going to come from the increased rent of the Bombshelter’ Graphix factory, the bookstore’ etc. I feel that’s wrong. We’re already paying $25 per term, stating next year, for the capital costs of the building. I don’t find we should be paying for a deficit that we won’t even be running. We’re not going to be running this building although I’m sure we’ll be on the management board. This is just one of the things I see that I feel the other candidates might not. I feel it should be a joint venture team between the administration and the students, and it’s not right now. Communication I feel that right now there isn’t enough
communication.
We’re

and the Feds can decide where it goes every month and give it to different charities and that way students have more of a voice in what’s going on. These are not just people who signed a petition, these are real people who have a problem. We met with Dr. Downey, he thought it was a great idea too. His staff are looking into doing a Roger’s Cable program. Student Services I want to do a subletting service working with a database and trying to get rid of a lot of that paper weight that’s on campus. I’m currently affiliated with MathSoc and am a class rep and we’ve had 45 subletting signs come through since the beginning of term for summer sublets. I think that it would take a few years to catch on but with the expansion of the Turnkey desk and the new on-campus housing going on there I think it would be great to set up a student services desk and get a service coordinator in there and an old computer that students can use and indicate where and how much they want to pay.
Communication Communication is a big thing. Apathy is rampant on campus and we have to enthuse the people and have information come across in an informative and funny way and have people want to watch or want to see that kind of thing . I really want to make sure that every student, no matter who they are’ can come up to the Fed office. I’d open the Feds up so that more people could get involved.
Steve Codrington President We have to come up with a solid communications plan that’s going to trigger something with the students, because they should begetting involved, getting informed. It’s on top of my priority list to establish a solid plan to help eliminate apathy. Accountability I’ve put together stats for the past four
Fed elections
and there’s
been a
turn out of fewer than 4000, total. That’s kind of sad, considering the responsibilities coming out of the Fed office. How are the Feds supposed to approach the administration with a viewpoint’ if they have only 20 % of the students backing them! I’m looking at getting a task force made up of students, administrations, Feds, and societies, who would work on publicity by cornering the newspapers, the radio stations and the local TV networks. Communication is so important! OUSA As far as OUSA is concerned and how Fdr they can go, I think they’ve got great potential. The provincial level is a better level of representation,
because
that’s where most of our funding is coming from. Through OUSA, I think the Feds can help rally the province for more spending. Education has to be higher up on the list of the government’s priorities. Teaching As far as quality of teaching is concerned, I think the solution is already out there. If you want to improve the quality of the teaching, you’ve got to rate it, to have the students comment on it, as in the Engineering course critiques. Professors have to use them. Some are opposed to that’ but it’s all on record, and it does get used. I would like to get the university to add more weight to this. In general, the critiquing is not very strong yet in the Arts faculty, but take a look at the endowment funds. First’ the faculty of Engineering set up one. Now most faculties have set them up. This has happened through communication with the initial group. If you’ve got a resource, why start from scratch? The administration Is behind this, because they want the university to look good so that frosh come here. co-op A lot of students are bitter toward co-op. I got in when the times were still good and there were a lot of jobs. It’s harder now. Co-op has to become a little more accountable to the students. I appreciate the fact that they are going to make changes. It seems that students are going to get their way to have the second-round format overall. I’d like to stress that I would be pooling opinions to act upon this. We have to work with the students by showing them the facts. Also speaking of accountability, I’ve talked to students who are concerned about the new Student Centre being built and the expenditures. Cash Flow

Julie Cole: Well I guess it would be Andreahaving the personal problems that she Is.
VPOF I’ve always enjoyed student life here at Waterloo, and I want to give something back to the school before I leave. My main concerns as VPOF would be with the new Canadian Campus Business Consortium (CCSC) and the new student centre with its businesses. I’d like to work with the services, and the people who are in them now, and rtreamline them,
I think that the recycling aspect of my campaign is important We’re generating a lot of waste just in this campaign. We’re allowed to put up a maximum of 400 posters, and that’s a lot of paper. I think there’s a lot of waste on campus, and we can start with the Fed offlice. You have to start with what you are and what you know, and cut back there first. Everyone has ideas, so we can all get together and cut back. We have a large environmental studies department, and I’m sure that they have a lot of ideas. Accountability: We need student input to find out what they want and what they need, and I want what students perceive to be better. 6y being enthusiastic and being available is how you get that input, be it
should all equally have access to that.
For those types of services, I think that it should be a flat rate. OUSA: 1 think that it’s really important to be part of a bigger voice. As one university, we can lobby, and be loud and vocal, but that’s not necessarily going to get us somewhere. We need to be part gf something bigger. If we find that it’s not working, then we can branch off, but right now, it seems to be working. Safety: I know that we have a foot patrol and that we have the safety van, which is wonderful, I’d like to expand the area that the foot patrol covers, maybe get it into the corners of the campus more. I looked into gettin the underground tunnels opened, but unfortunately, security told me that it was pretty unsafe as it was with waterpipes, and the electrical circuits, but I’m still investigating what else we can do. If@myone wants
to contact
me
further, they can email me at amklein I @undergrad.math, or they can leave a message at the Fed office. given the recognition they deserve. Co-op services should do more to have employers come on campus and make them aware that there are Arts students here as well. Same with Career Services. Either targeting different levels of government, and also just private corporations. All faculties should have the same opportunities. Working with Career Services and co-op services through the offlice of
Andreas Kurvits VPUA My focus on this campaign is going to be the experience that I’ve had with the Feds. I’ve been on Student Council for three years, and I’ve had the opportunity to represent the students at the OUSA conference last month. Tuition fees will go up and what we, on the Federation of Students, should do is to alleviate some of the burden on the student Ancillary fees are also one thing that we will have to face in the near future and I think that there is a very good chance for students to have strong involvement in deciding how these extra fees will be spent by the administration. I think OUSA is a very strong lobbying group - there are some 85 000 undergraduates represented by OUSA so I think it’s a very strong tool. The government is very interested in what OUSA has to say I’m very proud of this school and the co-op program that we have. I was surprised to find out that I’m the only candidate with co-op experience, I know how the co-op system works. We have a very good reputation in having corporatjons coming on campus M hire. But I think that Arts students really aren’t
VPUA 1think could do a lot. Safety is always a big concern. I dont’ t think anyone should be expected to have to go to a school to be educated and be fearful for their personal safety, I have a lot of experience with the municipal government. I’ve had two work terms in municipal governments and I know how it works. Saftetv should be lobbyed strongly with the City of Waterloo and the region, maybe in concordance with Laurier and Conestoga College, to include areas around the campus, For example, walking to Columbia Town Houses at night is just not safe. Also, at the north campus, by Optometry there is a walkway leading up to the train track, and there is no cross walk During rush hour cars go by there all the time. Maybe having some sort of cross walk there would make things a little bit safer. One idea that I had in the summer was the television idea. We’ve had discussions with Roger’s Cable. News from all over campus could be seen in a more visual way. This is just a great opportunity for people to be better informed+ I’ll be talking to other groups on campus who might be intArested as well. I think right now there’s an impression that the people up in the Fed office are very closed from the rest of the students. I think council and board positions should be much better advertised to have a better turnout of people. Just getting out there and letting people know that the opportunity is there. I’d like to make US much more visible and accessible.

Klein: If I had to be a character, I’d say Brandon. He seems to be a very curing individual. He works hard for what he wants and tries not to damage other people. I think he’s a good person.
Bruce Winter: I don’t really identify with any of them, but if I had to pick one, I’d say Brandon. Christine Dewhurst: l&h&k that the person 1 admire the most is Mrs. Walsh. She seem& be really level-headed, a good listener and really active in the community.
minimize those payments, and if we are paying, we’re going to have to have some input into what we’re paying for. There are certain services that I don’t think students should have to pay for such as counselling. I think

interested. Ancillary Fees: I think that right now, students are concerned about funding. I’m hearing a lot about ancillary fees. I think we are going to see them, but now it’s a question of how much they are, what they are, if they’re pay as you go, and we’re going to try and

Randy Bareharn: I would say Andrea, except for the fact that she’s now pregnant, and I don’t see myself in that role1 She Seems very together, and in control, so if I had to pick anyone, she comes to mind.

Kurvits: Yeah, I guess it would be kind of a toss up. I
the past four months, I’ve been working, examining the evaluations, the whole tenure process, the promotion process and trying to get student involvement on that. It’s now being reviewed in the Senate, and hopefully, we’ll use our twelve senators there to keep UW’s teaching standards up.

involvement, and I like Dylan McKay’s But I haven’t seen it for the past two weeks. Steve Codrington: Th8 restaurant owner, th8 owner of the Beach Pit. What 1 like is that he’s responsible. I haven’t s8en the show in the past two weeks, but I know that he’s been working too hard and he had some heart problems. Yeah, he’s definitely responsible.
Accountability
Leo!‘! biggs: the characters.
I don’t really think that I can identify with any of Really, I’d have to say non8 of them.
Another big issue, is students being treated more as a client. I mean students right now are getting a bit of the short end of the stick, and I think they’re starting to get a little annoyed. Not just when they’re dealing with professors, but when they’re dealing with administration, mainly Needles Hall. Et’s something that 1 was talking about with Jim Kablefleish (Vice-President, Academic & Provost) and he’s really enthused about the whole idea of improving the students in that way. The stories you hear of how one day you’ll go into Needles Halt, and you’ll be given one story of where you go, and they say “NO I can’t do that,” the next day you go back and the person says “Oh no, this is where you come.” How efficient the Cystem is depends on how the person feels that day. Students should be treated as clients. When you go into a store or a business, it doesn’t matter whether you are having a bad day. If the client isn’t satisfied, they’ll go somewhere else. Unfortunately we don’t have that luxury, we have to stay on campus. If it’s implemented and it’s publicized well, we are going to get a lot of feedback from other schools, from the public and that will draw better students.
OUSA and ICLRP OUSA is avery big agenda issue. It represents the majority of students in Ontario. That I see as abafgaining tool on behalf of students in terms of both lower tuition and accountabilty. I also think that the Income Contingent Loan Repayment Plan (ICLRP) which both the Liberals and Conservatives are both very keen to see happen is another big issue. Basically what it states is that znyone WI-IO needs money will get money, but you have to+pay it back contingent on your income after yqu graduate. But it relates to a baseline l’evel, if you’re under the poverty line, you don’t have7 to pay it back. Restructuring Another big issue is the restructuring of the Federation of Students, We’re making a proposal to the Student Council this Sunday. We want to add three new parttime positions for a full year. These positions will look after the boards because right now, It’s difficult to have a consistent plan because they’re only there for four months. We’re going to put it through the co-op program, so it’s also going to create three new jobs that co-op studenu can apply for. It’s going to create a lot more consistency, and make the Fade&on a lot more effective.

The Waterloo Athenas indoor hockey team ranked fourth in Ontario this weekend at a tournament held in Toronto. The first game on Saturday saw the Athenas facing the CIAU-champion Varsity Blues. The Athenas lost the match 5-O. Nextwas a tough match against Queen’s which resulted in a 2I loss for the Athenas, with the lone goal going to Leanne Dietrich. With just an hour’s rest from the second game, the Athena5 squared off against the Western Mustangs. At the
out of the kitchen!” Unfortunately for our girls, the steel towners accepted the c haltenge. With the scored tied at 52 and no time remaining on the clock, the game was sent into overtime. Making the game even more exciting in the five minutes of overtime was the fact that three Athenas and two Marauders, all starters for their respective teams, decided that they would like to be members of The Five Alive Club.
hockey in T-0. half, the Athenas were up 2-O with goals by Montse Sanuole and Rachelle Brohman. But because of a sudden burst in the last five minutes by Western, the Athena5 had to settle for a tie. On Sunday, the Athenas faced both York and Guelph. The first game the Athenas took a 3-O loss to the powerful Yeowomen. The final game was the only win for the weekend, with a terrific second half comeback with goals from Kathy Reilly and rookie Colleen Mason to win the game 2-l. The next tournament is the OWIAA finals on March 5 and 4. Don’t miss the alumni game on February 27.
Mac was centre Lisa Thamaidis with 20. The Athena5 also thrashed the Cuelph Gryphons 58-37 on Wednesday night. Third-year centre Susan Kruis erupted for 28 points. The team is in action again next Wednesday against those satanic purple horses from Western (who, by the way, have got possibty the ugliest uniforms in all of Canada!) -

The team of Ann Kjerulf, Teresa Kindree, April Harper, andAlicia Steele smashed the existing meet record by 2.5 seconds and left their competition stranded randomly around the track. Judith Leroy led the ISOO-metre from start to finish,with her teammates Julia Norman and Cheryl Turner coming in not far behind and running impressive PB’s. Norman and Turner took a one-hour break and stepped up to the line for the I OOOm. Turner ran a PB in the 1OOOm, which in turn seemed to inspire the two to more insanity by taking on the 3000m, which was run only an hour and a half later. This time, both Turner and Norman ran PBS. Most people out there probably do not comprehend what it’s

like to run three races in a day let alone three grueling distance races, and running PBS, to boot. These two are definitely showing signs of coming down with the Crazy Cressman affliction; I think it has something to do with coach Swarbrick’s techniques. On the sprint straight, Val Lingard gave an impressive sprint show, qualifying for the 60m final and running a PB every time her spikes touched the track
The day’s entertainment was once again provided by the football contingent. Taly Williams showed some guts and some of the get-the-job-done attitude by running both the first and the last legs of a 4-by-200m relay. We aren’t really sure if it’s legal to run twice in a relay, but he certainly turn a few heads. The move of the day goes to our
running back star Mike Mallot, who tried launching an obtrusive Western runner into a low orbit It seems as though the Western runner thought he could take a stroll in lane one after his hand-off in the 4,by-200, when Mallet yelled at him to move and when he didn’t, Mallot resorted to his football instincts and straight-armed the poor lad and launched him five metres into the infield. At this point, the Western runner, who will remain nameless for his own sake, cried out “That’s it! I’m TELLING!” It all ended up with the Western 4-by-200m team being disqualified from their own meet and the Warrior 4-by200m of Gerald Kirk, Brent Forrest, Bruce, and Mallet bringing home the bronze and running a team personal best for the year.

Making appropriate dietary choices is an important part of an active lifestyle. Nutrition can help you achieve and maintain good health, appearance, and it affects your energy levels, body composition, and athletic performance. You don’t have to be a varsity athlete to benefit from the right food choices. Your body requires more than 50 nutrients a day, which you can get without thought by eating from all four food groups. if your choose wisely then you won’t need vitamin or mineral supplements that people often consider necessary. You don’t have to include all nutrients in one serving because it is your total daily intake that is important. Whether you are in training for a sport, or just interested in improving your overall health, there are five materials that benefit your body. Carbohydrate is an important source of energy. Your body needs more of this than any other nutrient, except water. Carbohydrate is broken down into glucose, which circulates in the blood to provide energy to the celts. Glucose is also stored in the muscles and liver. It is a main source of energy for intense exercise. Stored body fat also used in endurance
To get the recommended amount of carbohydrates, eat two or more servings from the Grain Products and Vegetables and Fruits. Carbos can be in the form of sugar (like fruits, fruit juice, milk, table sugar, candy) or starch (cereal, potatoes, bread, veggies, pasta/rice, peas/beansllentils). It is better to consume the starch type, but sugar is fine as tong as it doesn’t replace starch. Proteins are needed for growth and repair of muscle tissue. Proteins contribute to the gain of muscle mass. When giycogen is used up then proteins are transformed, but this will result in a toss of muscle mass. Animal proteins have amino acid combinations that are most useabie by the body, whereas vegetable proteins lack certain amino acids. The best source of protein is form meat (beef, pork, fish), eggs, dairy products, peas, beans, and lentils. If you do not eat meat, it is important to make sure you include a variety of substitutes that supply the necessary amino acids. Remember that too many proteins can contribute to dehy dmtion. Contrary to popular belief, fats are necessary as a source of energy too. Our main source of fat comes from the preparation or processing of food. Although fat has nine calories/gram and proteins and carbohydrate have four cat/gram, fat is less efficient than glucose and the body requires

The Campus Ret mixed singles tennis tournament finished on Sunday, with the last game being finished at I I :OO in the evening. The tournament ran on Sunday, january 30 and Sunday, February 6 at the Waterloo Tennis Club. Though this tournament was not sponsored, there was stilt a good turnout of enthusiastic players. The 36 men and women played in two divisions, mixed intermediate and advanced.
intermediate:
more oxygen for its use. Too much fat can contribute to obesity, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. iron helps in carrying oxygen to the ceils for energy production. It is absorbed best from meat, poultry, and fish; Vitamin C increases iron absorption from veggies, fruit, grains, and eggs. iron deficiency results in tiredness, listlessness, and irritability. Finally, fluids, especially water, are essential because they replace the fluids lost during exercise. Remember, always drink enough water to quench your thirst and then a little more. A minimum of six servings of 250 mL of fluids per day is necessary, but more is recommended. Drink prior to exercise if you sweat heavily, and drink small amounts every I5 minutes or so during activity. if you suffer heavy sweat toss then you may need to replace electrolytes by eating foods containing sodium or potassium. Canada’s Guidelines for Healthy Eating suggest enjoying a variety of foods, emphasizing cereals, breads, grain products, veggies, fruits, lean meats, and foods prepared with little or no fat Enjoy regular activity. When you go shopping, go around the outer edges of the store first. Most stores are laid out so that this route includes the four food groups (bakery, dairy, meat, fruits and vegetables). Foods here are the freshest and least processed. Plan in

By Je~Chard Imprint stqg James are a band quite different than anything I’ve ever seen. At the press conference we attended before the concert the band seemed a little too inhibited to enjoy talking to the press. You could tell they had been through this at least a hundred times before, and, while recognizingthe need for publicity, they still weren’t going to let themselves get off on it. Larry was the nice one, Saul was the funny one, Tim was the slightly irritated but generous-with-his-time one, David was the sarcastic one and Jim and Mark were the quiet, ” I can’t wait to get the fuck out of here” ones. They answered many questions about their new album, Loid, saying that they were very happy with how it turned out. The toned down sound on it is the result of their recent U.K. tour with Neil Young, which they had to play unplugged. Working witi big name producer Brian Eno (U2, David Bowie, etc.) was an excellent experience for them, as he encouraged them to go “out on a Pretty limb.““rhe band weie quite sensitive about answering any questions about the ‘Smiths’ tour they w rere to have embarked on years ago, mlost likely because they try to avoid the

“I am walking to the place of the light and the things I see with the starlight sight in the dance of the fire in the flames I see under raven skies she will sleep with me” l-lot off a hugely successful Australian tour, Windsor natives the Tea Party payed a visit to Kitchener. These. hard working boys looked glad to be on their home turf as they took Lulu’s by storm. The Tea Party are no strangers to this neck of the woods as they opened for Blind Melon at Lulu’s a few months ago. Even with such a prestigious opening spot under their belt, this was the first headline gig at Lulu’s for the trio ofJeff Martin, Stuart Chatwood and Jeff Burrows and they made sure to make the most of it. The Tea Party played an energetic set packed with poetic lyrics wrapped around
heavy blues riffs and hypnotic
drumming. Throughout the set the crowd was taken on a rollercoaster ride of sound that flowed from trippy slower numbers of “Midsummer Day” to the crank it up rock of “Save Me”. All but one of the songs on the night were
though they released hid only a couple of months ago, they already have a new album completely done and ready for action, which they recorded at the same time. It will be a while before we see this one on the market, though. The gig at the Opera House Saturday was the first of two sold out shows James were playing in T-0. (rumour has it the band wanted to play a bigger venue here, but certain people got nervous and booked them into the Opera l-louse, where both shows sold out right away.) The band played a very moody set, reflected in the fairly dark lighting show, but really electrified their fans. Opening up with “Out to Get You” and following it up with two more slower songs, the show got off to a mellow 1 start. However, song number four, theirworldwide classic anthem “Sit Down,” really got the place jumping around, Many other great songs were played with heart and enthusiasm, inclucIing”Laid,‘.‘“Bom of Frustration” and the most intense song of the night, “Skindiving.” Tim’s voice was absolutely amazing throughout the concert, never wavering once. The show ended with the classic “Come Home’%mpletf ing the second encore. If you have never picked up a James record, 1suggest you do. These guys have a down home, beer drinking- sitting around-a-campfire feel to their music,while incorporating a massive wall of sound into their show. They truly are one of the greats.
most recognizable song to date “The River”, The intensity radiated off the stage as each songs &as played to the parapet of perfection. The packed crowd was treated to a pulsing mass of swirling sounds propelled the music to another level. These guys from Windsor know how to rock Opening for the Tea Party were Steeltown residents Junkhouse who come from a place where they “don’t let mother nature push them around”. Junkhouse played a lively set drawing on material for their new release Strays, highlighted by the new single “Out Of My Head”. Words of wisdom were plentyfold from Junkhouse. “Living in Canada you have to make sure that you go outside for a piss because you’ll always find somebody out there smoking a joint”. Kicking off the night, Strange Days rocked those early birds- not out in the parking lot smoking a few fatties- with songs from their much awaited, but yet to be titted, new release. As well, this up and coming band romped through soon to be monster hits “Manifest Destiny” and “Cettin’ Kicked”. On a side note the above mentioned Strange Days songs can be found on a CD compilation of local artists,The 8reeding Ground, if you’re like me and can’t wait for the new release. Overall it was a fantastic night of music with superb performatkes byeach band.

Menagerie
by lennifer
Epps
Nickerson
staff
The greatest difficulty faced by anyone trying to stage a Tennessee Williams’ play in this cool and cynical age is how to make his passionate, larger than life material palatable to a generation weaned on a steady diet of self-conscious irony. Williams’ plays are set in a semimythical America that has somehow lost its naivety without having jest its innocence; a tough-talking whiskey and jazz soaked urban landscape where everyone still has a heart just waiting to be broken. The artistic fare offered nowadays avoids sentimentality and emotionalism like the proverbial plague, so how do you re-interpret The Glass Menagerie so it will speak to a contemporary audience! Well you don’t, as Tom, the principle character and narrator, reminds the audience at the beginning of the play; The Glass Menagerie offers truth disguised as illusion, it is a reminiscence, and as such it is supposed to be sentimenta! and evocative of strong emotion. Directed by jennifer Epps, The UW drama department’s production of The Gloss Menagerie is a faithful yet lively presentation of Williams’ play. Set in late 30s St. Louis, the plot concerns an angry-young-man, Tom, who yearns for adventure and excitement or perhaps just an escape from the dreary warehouse job that he so hates.
The trouble is, he has to support his ageing mother and his emotionallycrippled sister who will not be able to get along without him, this responsibility chains him to a life that he hates while making his life all the more intolerable. While Tom cares for his mother and sister, they are, quite literally, driving him to drink Tom is offered the hope of a guilt free escape if he can just find a man for his sister, a gentleman caller that can rake his place. Well, a gendeman caller does indeed arrive and he sexes as the cata)yst which drives the play to its heart-breaking conclusion+ Dan Kelly’s set design captures the despair of the Depression-era United States. It depicts the small living space which provides a stark backdrop against which the desperate characters

cling to slim hope, the colour scheme involves a great deal of blue, brown and rust. One can readily see why Tom is reluctant to spend any time in the apartment The cast of four provide strong performances. Joel Harris’ conveys the right amounts of anger, bitterness and guilt allowingthe audience to feel Tom’s inner turmoil. Nancy Forde portrays Amanda as an exasperating yet sti!l sympathetic character. At times, Amanda seems to be living in the strange fantasy world of her youth which she tries desperately to relive through her daughter Laura. Yet this is tempered with moments of real concern, and her fears of being deserted a second time and left with no means of support for her or Laura, are quite genuine. Joey Morin’s portrayal of the gentleman caller allowsJim to come across as a bit of a clod, but he also demonstrates a real tenderness towards Laura. Linda Albanese’s Laura offers just the right mixture of painful shyness, sweetness and naivety. Laura is virtue ally a non-entity for the first two thirds of the play, overshadowed by the two forceful and clashing personalities of Amanda and Tom. When Jim arrives she begins to open up however, not too much, not enough to step out of character, but just enough to emphasize the truly anguishing aspect of the PlaYa You can still catch The G/ass Menage& tonight and Saturday night at the Theatre of the Arts in the Modern languages Building.

Chard staff
A week from Sunday one of the best bands in the world will be embarking upon Toronto as part of their “Idiot Manouevers Tour 94.” The Wonder Stuff are a British band a cut above the rest. They have been to our own Fed hall a couple of times in the past, but I fear that their fan base has grown so much that we may not be witnessing them appearing there this yer. Yes, it looks like we’ll have to make the drive to TO., but it’ll be worth it. The Wonder Stuff released their first album, “The Eight Legged Groove Machine,” in 1988. Featuring such hits as “It’s yer money I’m After Baby” and “Give give give me More more more,”

were touted as one of the best new bands. With their next album, “Hup,” the Stuff decided to entirely change their direction. It was here that they began to replace guitar solos with violin parts. From this time on they have been known for their special b#lend of folk and rock music, for which they have no comparable counterparts aside from Canad a’s own Spirit ofthe West. Obviously it is not a coincidence that these two bands are great friends and have recorded together. The Wonder Stuffs “Never Loved Elvis” and their newest release, *‘Construction for the Modern Idiot,” have continued to tow the line between folk and British- flavoured rock. AweekfromSundayshow up at the R.P.M. for a show you’ll never forget I hear the opening band, Gapterhouse, are quite amazing as well, and may turn out to be the next British superband. Sograb your megaphones, fill up your gas tank and bring lots of money for the scalpers cause, as of now, this one’s sold out. I’ll see you at the R.P.M.
music guide The Cure, Show
If you are a big fan of British alternative music and own a VCR, you should be doing fucking cartwheels right now. That’s because there’s three new videos out well worth the twenty-two bucks they each go for. Here’s a quick summary,
Depeche Mode, Devotional This video chronicles the current “Devotional” tour Depeche Mode are currently embarked upon. It features twelve songs, ten of which come fmm their last two albums. The on/y older songs performed on the video cm “Stripped” and “Never Let Me Down.” The songs were recorded at four different concerts from u/l over the world. Strengths: This video is a great record of the current tour. If you’ve seen Depeche Mode live than you’ll feel like you’re there all over again, if you haven’t than you can see what you’ve been missing. Dave Gahan’s got great facial expressions in this one, too. Weaknesses: Unlike the Live 101 video, there is no backstage footage included here. Also, “Everything Counts,” one of their best preformed
Recorded in Detroit Michigan during the ‘Wish” tour in summer 1992, “Show” captures the Cure exactly how they redly look on stage - static clnd deep in thought Over twenty songs are included, takenfrom .,.#.‘, 1vcwious c~lburns in their cutolouge. Strengths: The Cure sound great live. Robert Smith’s guitar work is worth the price of the video alone. Weaknesses: Again, like the Mode video, there is no backstage footage. Also, most of Robert Smith’s incoherent introductions to the songs are absent - obviously he omitted these intentionally for the camera’s sake.

FASS’94
By Jumes
Impdnt
city Of LOS Angeles High School Math Proficiency ’ Name:
rupted by an attack by the “Happy Fun Ninja Clan” who proceeded to sing, dance and mock political correctness. The end of the skit was precluded by the cry of “bring on the anemone.” and if you can guess what happens next, maybe you should try your hand at being a FASS writer next year. The skit about alchemy was pure high school humour, with the class consisting of geeks, beerswilling rednecks and hippies. The rednecks try to turn premium gasoline into premium beer while the hippie sits in the back and smokes a joint. Mildly entertaining, but far from original. Byfarthe bestskit was set in a bar, with a man trying to pick up a girl. The lines were comprised of the essence of each statement. The man’s “witty introduction” would be followed by the girl’s “polite response.” Eventually the man screws it up and makes a “comment about woman being a lesbian”, and the bartender “trying to pretend this guy isn’t a total loser.”

As the theatre slowly filled, a piano played soothing melodies. Friends, couples and parents were in attendance for FASS’94, Jest Add Laughter. The show started with the male and female understudies coming onto the stage and warning the audience that if we saw them again, “something has gone horribly wrong.” They then proceeded to do a “warm-up” which consisted of singingalongwith and mimicking the actions of the female understudy. Something had already gone horribly wrong. The show improved quickly from there though, with the first skit, a parody of - Macleans magazine for rating UW second in its annual survey, a definite hit Co-op hiring was mocked to the tune of Meatloaf’s “I gotta know right now” with students describing themselves as “under-educated and over-dressed” and begging for jobs. It was entertaining, but dragged on, not unlike the real song. “Super Heroics IO I” was excellent, and reminded me strongly of the cartoon “Intelligent Humour.” It was so lunatic as to be funny, and completely unpredictable.

The production included grandmothers, superheroes, aliens and nerds, songs from Aladdin and Grease, jokes about the government, artsies, mathies, engineers, and scene changes from Wayne’s World. There was scarcely an area of student life that was not covered, from potential employment to inter-faculty romance. FASS’94 was definitely amateur but had periodic flashes of britliance, and few left disappointed.

The Piano dir. by June Campion I993
By Kut Imprint
M. Piro stun
“1 haven’t spoken since I was six years old. Nobody kknows why, not even myself,” begin Ada’s thoughts in the Cannes Festival winner of 1993 The fiuno. The time is the mid-nineteenth century. Ada (Holly Hunter) has a child and no husband. Her father marries her to a New Zealand farmer. One day she, her young daughter Floara (Anna Paquin), and her piano find themselves far away from England, on the windswept beach of a strange country. Here they wait for the new husband. They make a tent out of a hoop skirt of Ada’s and sometimes Ada feels the piano keys inside the cargo box. With her piano and her child, she fears nothing. Stewart (Sam Neill) is willing to accept his bride’s shortcomings, even her muteness, good Christian that he is. However, he does not understand that the piano is more to Ada than just
a frivolous, heavy piece of furniture. He leaves it at the beach. New Zealand at this time is nothing more than thick rainforest, unexplored and muddied by rain much of the year. The climate is not welcoming. In the bush live the Maori-Indians. One of these, a halfbreed, is Baines (Harvey Keitel). Ada turns to him and asks him to take her back to the beach. There she plays and plays her wonderful, sensuous music and enchants him with her passion. He decides to buy the piano
Spin a wrne Rymer With Orange an interview
by Ken Imprint
Ehyson stcig-f
A kinetic quintet out of British Columbia, Rymes With Orange played their premiere gig at UW a few weeks ago, bringing down the crowd with lights, zest, and a talent for entertainment. Tonight, they play Kitchener’s Volcano club with The Rhino’s, Sometime between that lavish Fed Hall show and now, vocalist Lyndon johnson submitted to an Imprint interview.
It went something
like this:
Imprint: In past reviews you’ve been called “ the most exciting unsigned band in the country,” compared to Sloan, and contrasted
with
the
Barenaked
Ladies.
What is your reaction to these reviews ? Lynclon Johnson: We do like that kind of comparison, to say that we are exciting to see. Although, as far as the whole country is concerned I don’t really know what other bands are doing because we spend so much time on the road. Imp: Do you feel you’ve been accurately portrayed? LJ: As I say, I don’t know. We’ve been anything from a scaled down Zooropa tour to INXS, Simple Minds, Sloan, Rush,’ just tonnes of comparisons. They’re just trying to put their finger on something; they’re not sure what

the
condition that Ada should teach him to play. Stewart consents, but Baines never does learn the art of playing. Instead, Baines allows Ada to earn back her inrtrument if she allows him to do certain things with her while she plays. Sexual f&ours in return for a certain number of black keys. There begins a complicated love triangle. On the one side is Stewart, the owner of Ada. On the other is Baines, who falls in love with her and respects her silence and her need for music as her husband never even tried. Between the two men is Ada, bound by duty, and nineteenth century morals, but also by passion. The Piano is tragic, raw, beautiful and deeply moving, and “there is silence where bath been no sound. There is silence where no sound may be in the cold grave, under the deep, deep sea.” (Thomas Hood)

for me
we are. Imp: From reading the liner notes of your CD Peel, there seems to be a number of line up changes since you released that CD, is this the case? LJ: There were two other members at that time who have since left the band; they left last year. And at the time nothing was really happening with the group other than we were struggling. Since then we’ve added a new rhythm section and our sound man has become our new keyboard player. We tookelements from our recording side and put them into a live show. And since dhen we’ve been-out on the road perfecting that - I think the band is a better band, a lot better. Imp: You obviously have a very animated and entertaining live act. What prompted you to perform that way? LJ: I guess I’ve always liked bands like that, more hard core bands. I’ve always liked bands that were more physical and animated. It meant more excitement for the audience - I think it stems from that. Imp: Having just finished touring with The Odds, and having previous tours with other well known bands, do you ever run into problems where your live act out performs the headline act? LJ: No, not really. We just spent five weeks with the Odds and we got along famously, we made good friends. They considered us one of the best opening bands out there; we really got the crowd going. Imp: Do you find you get a different reaction from audiences when you are
the opening and not the headline band? LJ: We’ve had a few people walk out on us, but it depends. We are a different kind of band, there’s nbt a lot of bands you could put us into the same sort of slot with. We’re a very different kind of band so it depends. Imp: You appeared on the Ralph Benmergui show last fall, how was that? LJ: We’ve been on lV before, like MuchMusic and City-TV, but when you go to CBC it’s real. You get a really good feel for how the other side of the television world works, it was fun. Imp: Do you have any insights as to why that particular show failed and has gone ‘+ off the air? L]: Maybe it just wasn’t funny. It tried to be too much of a variety show and I don’tthinkpeople reallywanted to watch it. It just didn’t work, I don’t think. Imp: What are the bands plans for the upcoming year? LJ: We’re finishing up a new record, which we’re trying to get out by August, and taking on Europe to promote this album. We’re thinking of playing [CFNY’s Canada Day concert] Edgefest again. Imp: What has your reception been like in Europe so far, having been there last summer? LJ: This tour is actually a result of last summer’s tour. We went over to get some exposure and as a result are planning to return. The audiences are more open there to different kinds of music so we hope it will be a success. Rymes With Orange return to KW tonight to open for The Rhinos at the Volcano.

World is the third single released from the current New Order album “Republic”. In keeping with a fine tradition of remixes, New Order has polished off quite a nice product here. My one criticism is that they released no B-sides or new tracks on this single, not even a live track. Instead, ther are a bunch of remixes of the single here. This different versions are interesting, but I would have preferred to hear something new from these guys. But that’s the price of love.
5 by Cheryl Costello Imprint stc@ IS MANCHESTER REALLY DEAD? Maybe so, but it will live on in my heart forever and for always. The Charlatans will release their third album, Up To Our Hips, in late March and I guarantee that it will not disappoint any of their fans. Many people were concerned that The Charlatans would be unable to release a new album in the near future because guitarist Jon Baker left the band and because of the widely publicized incident of the keyboard player (who is currently residing in prison) driving a getaway car in a robbery. But they came through, despite problems, and did not let us down. Their first album, Some Friendh, released in 1989, was a huge success. Those were the years that the “Man-
Chester” music scene was at its height, with other groups such as The Stone Roses, lnspiral Carpets and The Happy Mondays, the latter of which seem to have unfortunately faded into oblivion. Their second album,Between 10th and I Iti, is excellent, although in my opinion seemed to be released just in time to capitalize on the success of the first When I initially listened to the new album though, it hit me with the same feelings I had after listening to Some Friendly. Once again I fell in love with Tim Burgess’ vocals and the sounds of the Hammond organs. There are IO songs on the album, with my personal fave being Feel Flaws, which is all-instrumental with a really groovy sound. The Charlatan’s first single, G~n’t Get Out Of Bed, is a close second, but it is way overplayed on the radio even though the album isn’t out yet You can expect to hear that song even more once it is. The title track, “Up to our Hips” has an unmistakably Charlatans sound, along with “Come in Number 2 I”and “Easy Life.” This album is awesome, fantastic, amazing and will certainly be a huge success. But all you people will just have to wait until it is released in 2 months. HAHA!!! That’s really too bad, because you’re missing out!!!

By now I think everyone has heard “Linger” by the Cranberries. The single has just been re-released, with three new bonus tracks. If you haven’t yet picked up their debut album, why don’t you? Everybody else has ( pun intended.) Now, you may ask, what is the point of buying this if you already have the album ? I’ll tell you. For the B-sides, of course. Featured here are three amazing new songs by this band who have sold over half a million copies of their first album. “liar” is reason enough to buy “Linger” alone. I can honestly say that it is better than any song on the album itself. Why they didn’t include this beautiful pop song on it is beyond me. It deserves more than B-side status. Clocking in at

just over two minutes, it would make the perfect A- side, even over “Linger.” O.K., maybe not, but it’s stiill damn good. “Them” and ‘Reason” are nice songs,too,though not as good as anything on the album or “Liar.” But if you count yourself as a Cranberries fan, you wilj definitely want to hear these tunes, too. A good E.P. like this could almost make us forget the fact thatThe Cranberries disappointed us not once or twice but three times with cancellations of concerts in this area in the past few months.

This is a surprising release from a band that has done little quality work since the departure of Robbie Robertson. These classic rock dinosaurs stick to the formula of their aging compatriots The Grateful Dead and The AHman Brothers. The Band stick to familiar ground and do not attempt to broaden their fan base by heading off in new directions. Actually, with this new release The Band are trying to reestablish a fan base. With a strong album to back their revival, and with retro music in vogue, this may be easier than they expect. Even though The Band does not embark into any new territory with the release of Jericho, the majority of the songs are quality material. The songs seem fresh and The Band does not come across as a group resting on their past accomplishments. The songs on jericho are definitely indebted to their roots in the 60’s but by no means are they stolen 60’s material. The songs are written with a present day mind set The only real throw away tune is “Move To Japan” with its painful to listen to lyrics. My little brother could write better than that and he is only in grade six. just skip past it if you can. The blues ramblings of “Slues Stay Away From Me” take on an almost Grateful Dead feel and finish off the album well. The Band stick with their tried and true sound in their comeback debut and in the process create some of their best work
4-5 Depeche Mode often get shafted for being a “computer band.” I, for one, happen to believe that this band has nothingto be ashamed of, though. These guys use technology to their advantage. Besides, all four of these guys play drums and other instruments. So obviously they choose to use drum machines to enhance their sound, not to create it entirely. These guys are excellent fucking musicians. They deserve praise, not bullshit criticism that doesn’t make sense. Songs off& and Devotion Live is an excellent record. It is exactly the same as Songs ofFuith and Devotion, except all the songs are performed live. Anyone that knows Depeche Mode knows that they are at their best when they play live, so the CD is a worthwhile purchase. High points of the album are “Rush” and “One Caress,” both which sound better here than on the main album&ad singer Dave Gahan’s many “Oh, Yeah’s” are awesome too, expecially in the backdrop of the songs-This album brings back beautiful memories of “Live IO1 .” A must-buy for Mode fans*

ByCandace Baran special to Imprint Who said you can’t judge an album by its cover. 7 I had never heard of the group Counting Crows, when I stumbled upon their groovy album cover in the depths of the Imprint ofice. Their new album “Autumn and Everything After”, caught my eye with its poetic lyrics scrawled across the cover in fountain pen style. After surveying the list of songs, the titles sounding relatively catchy, I decided to give them a listen. Have you ever needed a tape that you could listen to when you were totally frustrated with life? This tape grabs you and screams out with intensity and style, its the kind of music that reverberates in your head hours after you’ve listened to it. The danceable wnes remind me of a mixture of The Tragically Hip, and REM. The song “Mr. Iones”, has an especially captive rhythm. It describes two friends taking on our chaotic and often lonely world together. Many of the songs give an artistic, or poetic view of the world. The Crows paint a sometimes lonely, sometimes funny and nonchallant, but always energetic world picture through their bizarre lyrics. The creative energy is the most memorable sensation from this album. The reason the Counting Crows have such an addictive sound, is that the lead singer, Adam Duritz, croons with conviction. He sounds restless, energetic, and in short, he sounds as though he is reaching out to the listener. If you are looking for a musical release from midterm blues, this is the ’ album for you. * I..

This band is total shit, but I like it. The Lee Harvey Oswald Band is to pun&, what Michael Jackson is to tube socks and sequined gloves. This band caters to select groups of transves-
tites, druggies, satan worsbippers, and generally anybody who wants to really piss off their parents.
I know you’re already saying “1~ print only reviews bands that nobody has heard of.” Believe me, I’ve never heard of them either and there is a good reason; they suck, and I’m going to tell you why, and how much. It’s kind of funny this band never made it big considering they formed in 1975. Rick Nielson, who formed
. .
- Cheap Trick, was once thrashing with these guys but later found it easier to make it big with Elvis covers. This is their third release and I don’t think they’ll ’ turn too many heads ’ with this one. The band is named from Iv their hero, and this al bum is supposed to glorify prison life, even though none of them have done any time. Oddly enough they have donated I 000 copies to be distributed to the residents of American State Prisons. Now - that’s what I call doing some hard time. The music is a pistols hard wailin’ noise that sputters like a backfiringw Bug. The screaming guitar and drums is all you can really hear, the lyrics are incomprehensible and sound like they are screeched into a telephone (long-distance at that). Looking at the liner notes though, the lyrics are absolutely hilarious. A Taste of Prison includes their 4 song 1989 debut Touch and Go EP that features earlier crap like”Getting Wasted With the Vampires” which is actually kind of rocking. “When the Satans Come Marching In” has riveted guitars and pounding drums that play over a documentary of the dangers of LSD. It’s great to see stuff like this, and even if it doesn’t apply to you it’s great to know bands like this haven’t O.D’ed yet The new stuff is a s raunchy and as bad as their older stuff. The first three songs sound exactly the same and you just have to cringe when they cover Little Eva’s “Locomotion” and Paul McCartney’s “junior’s Farm”. They delinitely take a different perspective, but it’s about time these songs were given a tad bit more energy. The Lee Harvey Oswald Band; shit. I think so, but then again what’s not to love about a drug inducing, beer swilling, transvestite?
This is the Cocteau Twin’s debut album from their new record label, Fontana. The 4AD forgers have split with big daddy Ivo and joined Fonta& Polygram. It’s been rumoured that they were never really happy with 4AD, or the control it had over them; including such things as the vpe of record covers they were “forced” to use. Heaven or Los Vegus and Four&lender Cafe covers reflect the real Cocteau Twins. So, say farewell to
29
the eccentrically beautiful 23 Envelope covers of their past. In f&t, it’s time to say farewell to a few other things about the angels of ethereal...like Elizabeth Fraser’s phonetic lyrics. Gone are the days of “Ella Megalast burls forever”, “Millimillenary” and “Aikea-Guinea”, when all one could do was coo and hum along. Now you can almost sing along with the warbling Liz. This is especially true on “Know who you are at every age” and “Essence”. The music of these pioneers of the post punk era seems to have mellowed even more since Heuven or Los Vegas. This comes with age and maturity, for the Twins have been making their special brand of magik for over a decade. They’ve still retained their signature style, the songs are just not as abstract as they were off their earlier stuff, IikeThePink Opaque. “Evangeline” is the big single, but I feel “Oil of Angels” and “My Truth” are superior works. All in all, Elizabeth, Robin and Simon still make the music of the gods.
