Currently the newsgroups can be accessed f&r students if the material is to be used for academic purposes Students must petition to the ethics committee to gain access to the newsgroups. However Shallit said he was “not clear why using the material for academic purposes is any less illegal.”

Shailit said that when he requested for a spot for students to email complaints he was ignored. ‘And where was the consultation?” asked Shallit.

“No one denies that administration should implement policy. In this case they made a mistake,” said Shallit.

GSA pursues ancillary fee referendum mechanism

by Daryl Imprint

Novak sta

T

he Board of Directors of the Graduate Students Association (GSA) made a significant amendment to their policy position on ancillary fees at their February 14 Board meeting. The policy serves as a guide for the GSA president in his negotiations with the administration.

The policy states that the university should strike a management committee to oversee student services.

While the policy formerly stated that a referendum should only take place if requested through a petition signed by IO per cent of the GSA membership, it now states that a binding referendum should be held if the management committee decides to implement any of the following: m a new all-pay ancillary fee (where all students pay for a service, not just the users of that service) w an increase above the Statistic Canada Cost-of-Living to an existing all-pay ancillary fee - cancellation of an existing all-pay student service A proposed change would only proceed in the event a referendum demonstrated that at least 50 per cent of the student body is in support.

This policy change was first presented in a motion by Gamal Ahmed at

January’s GSA meeting. The motion was tabled at that time and the proposal was sent to the GSA policy review committee for discussion.

Since early January, the WPIRG Ancillary Fees Working Group has been circulating a petition calling for a referendum on ancillary fees. According to the GSA’s standing motion number 18, the GSA must hold a referendum on any issue if presented with a petition signed by IO per cent of the GSA membership. However, after being presented with the petition the Board voted by a 213 majority to suspend standing motion number 18.

Duncan Phillips, GSA president, believed that the changes made to the GSA ancillary fee policy met the concerns put forward in the WPIRG petition and a GSA referendum on ancillary fees would be redundant and unecessarily costly.

However, Andrea Lawrence was uncomfortable with dismissing a petition signed by IO per cent of the GSA membership and moved to include discussion of a possible referendum on ancillary fees at the GSA’s annual general meetingwhich will be held in March.

Gamal Ahmed, GSA Board Member, Senate Graduate Student Representative and member of the WPIRG Ancillary Fees Working Group, opposed the motion to suspend the standing motion, saying that “policies and

procedures should be respected and not altered to suit the circumstances.

A petition for another referendum on the dental plan resulted in a forthcoming referendum, but even though over IO per cent of the GSA membership wants a referendum on ancillary fees, the Board is denying them that right.”

Ahmed, however, is “75 per cent satisfied with the results. While I support the use of advisory committees to facilitate student input, when it comes to a final decision on a student service, the university should be obligated to respect the wishes of a majority of students. The best mechanism for this are referenda. The policy change was absolutely necessary.”

WPIRG’s undergraduate student petition campaign calling on the Federation of Students to hold a referendum on ancillary fees continues.

When asked if the Federation of Students is considering adopting a position similar to the GSA, Catherine Coleman, Fed president, stated that they had not had an opportunity to examine the GSA decision and may do so at their next meeting.

There is no formal mechanism or policy guiding the Fed President’s negotiations with the administration. lnput is gathered through the Fed executive, the council, the poorly attended ancillary fee forums, and a survey being circulated.

Student ethics

by Kim-an Green Imprint stafl

I

n the wake of the re&nt newsgroup bannings, the question of student behaviour and responsibility in campus computer facilities has raised its controversial head, and student Poesy Chen thinks she may have an answer.

Chen, a member of the Computer Science Club, has proposed a new account-granting policy for University of Waterloo computer facilities. The new policy would require students to take a short computer ethics training session, and to sign a user agreement pledging to follow the regulations taught in the training session.

According to Chen, the problem

friday, february

suggests training now is that students are able to access the Internet with no idea of how to properly use it. The result is that a student could potentially stumble upon material, by accident, that he or she finds offensive. As well, students are using Internet without knowing the accepted protocols that exists there.

“Students have access to Internet with no training,‘* stated Chen. “How do you expect them to know what to avoid if they’re not trained?”

The training program would teach students the mechanics of using Internet, the legal responsibilities of computer use (e.g. it is illegal to “possess” certain pornographic material), and “ethics” of Internet use.

Chen compares the program to

the WHMIS safety training program that students must take before working with potentially hazardous materials, or before being given access to campus laboratory facilities.

Ethics, in this context, refers to the etiquette of Internet. For example, it is considered impolite to post irrelevant material, offensive language, or to “flame” someone - e.g. to harshly publicly criticize or rebuke someone.

The training program would not deal in any way with the material in specific newsgroups, such as those that were banned.

The University of Waterloo Ethics Committee is impressed with Chen’s idea. continued to page 4

Sex bans bug GSA by &YY Warner htprint sta Last Monday, the Graduate Student Association (GSA) passed a motion to send out a petition to all UW students concerning the five newsgroups banned recently by Jim Kalbfleisch, VP academic provost The petition called for the immediate reinstatement of the banned newsgroups.

The main areas of concern for the GSA were the ineffectiveness of the ban, the process followed in banning the newsgroups, and the apparent avoidance of the original complaint.

Brent Roberuon, VP communications for the GSA, noted there has been a large amount of support for the GSA initiative on the newsgroups. lie questioned why the university administmtion “is so spineless as to not to question the views of their legal counsel.” He criticised the Ethics Committee’s understanding of newsgroups, calling them “clueless” on the issue, and claiming that the university took the “spineless” route out At the GSA meeting the Ethics Committee was also criticised for being “ineffective,” according to Roberts.

The president of the GSA, Duncan Phillips quickly pointed out that the offkial position of the GSA did not criticisethe Ethics Committee directly.

Philjips referred to the original

complaint from the Women’s Centre about implicit harassment from the presence of obscene materials on some newsgroups, and felt that people should have access to the material, ‘*but my concern is that access to [the banned newsgroups] should not infringe on other people’s safety.”

“If someone is viewing [the obscene material], reading [it], or whatever, [and someone sees them] they should be able to nuke them.” He hastened to point out, however, that not all material on the newsgroups was obscene, and noted that “I’m not in favour of censoring anything.”

6y focusing on the censorship issue, he continued, people are missing the point of the original complaint: the content of the newsgroups.

“I’m sure there’ll be some sort of comment from [the Women’s Centie],” he finished. The Women’s Centre launched the original complaint last August..

The GSA executive will compile the final wording of the petition by the beginning of next week.

The Federation of Students, according to Catherine Coleman, president, will be considering at the next Student Council meeting if any action at all is warranted, including whether to join the GSA in its petition against the banning or not.

Anti-Racism march ends in confrontation

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff

A

n anti-racism rally organized by the Kitchener-Waterloo AntiRacist Group turned ugly last ’ Saturd$ when a photographer tried to take a picture of two individuals wearing swastika pins.

The rally started out peacefully, embarking from Speakers Corner on King St. in downtown Kitchener. Several speakers from the K-W Anti-Racist Group (who asked not to be identified) made short, unprepared speeches about what they saw as the rise of “Nazi activities” in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

The march was organised specifically in response to further organisation by the Heritage Front in the K-W region, such as the firebombing of KW activist Mona Zentner’s house in November of 1992, and more recently again in the summer of last year. In both cases Heritage Front members have been implicated.

From Speakers Corner, the protesters made their way up King St to the new citv hall. The crowd was car‘ying signs &d pIacards with anti-racist

slogans on them, and also passed out pamphlets and stickers. The group then prepared to depart from the downtown bus station.

At this point, one of the demon-

strators attempted to take a picture of two men who were walking away from the crowd. When the two individuals saw the camera, they immediately ran towards the crowd, most of which promptly ran into the bus station One man wore Dot Marten boots and red suspenders, and both sported small swastika pins.

One of the men followed some of the demonstrators into the bus station while the other was confronted by one of the anti-racist marchers asking why he didn’t want his picture taken.

suggested forstudents

The first man then emerged from the bus station, followed by a police officer. The men tried to plead their case, stating that their photograph had been taken without their permission, and was an infringement on their “rights,” and that one of the protestors had tried to trip him, which according to him was use of ‘:excessive force.”

The officer explained (rather sarcastically) that the photographer did have the right to take their photograph since they were on the street which was public domain, and that the attempted tripping was reasdnable considering the man’s size and the fact that he was chasing the protesters.

A short shouting match ensued, but eventually both men left without any further incident. Both men cornplained that they were subject to the same tactics that the protesters typically accused them of.

None of the members wished to talk to Imprint, preferring to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal.

“It coincides with our own plans,” commented Sally Gunz, chair bf the Ethics Committee. “(Chen) is working on another angle of the same thing.”

The question remains, however, whether ethics and responsibility can be taught in a short course.

“There is endless debate as to whether you can teach ethics,” observed Gunz. “There will always be a group who do the right thing and a group that do the wrong thing. We want to reach the people in the middie.”

The most controversial part of the plan lies in the question of responsibility.

Currently, the university is considered to be the possessor of all computer hardware on campus, which . makes them responsible for any misuse or illegality regarding that resource.

Accordingto Chen, her plan would place more of&e burden oi responsibility upon the user. Such touchy-issues as the definition of “possession” would dealt with.

A student in a campus computer lab could face punitive action for having offensive material on their computer screen.

“With any right or privilege comes

responsibility,” argued Chen.

The law, at the present time, remains unclear as to who has responsibility with regards to electronic networks.

Chen hopes her plan will create a precedent that might have influence outside the campus, possibly even influencing the creation of laws.

“The University of Waterloo is known for its technology,‘+ pointed out Chen. “What we have to say is taken very seriously.”

Chen also realises the potential consequences of her creating a precedent For that reason, according to Chen, any move to implement her plan will likely be done in consultation with lawyers.

Students, for their part, are scep-

Exploitation not new to Chiapas”

by Tasha Lackman

Imprint stclfT

he insurrection of the indigenous people in Chiapas began symbolically on the first day of the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This revolt, however, does not signify the beginning of their problems, nor does it signify the beginning of their resistance.

The arrival of the Spanish conquistadors 500 years ago began a long history of exportation and exploitation.

Chiapas is extremely rich in natural resources, and due to the imperalistic nature of their history, people all over the world took advantage of this whereas the people of Chiapas did not. For example, Chiapas is the source of 60 per cent of the electricity produced in Mexico, though 35 per cent of its communities do not have electricity.

Land claims are also a growing problem Chiapans.Although

sell their land because they receive no credit to purchase farming materials that they need, the price of maize is falling, and many desperately need the money. The sale of their land would completely change their traditional way of life.

Without land they would probably be forced to move to the cities, where there are not even enough jobs for the present inhabitants. Even the Mexican government estimates that millions of campesinos will be displaced because of NAFTA. Logging is another example of the way that the interests of large corporations are being met at the cost of the rural people. Campesinos and indigenous people must abide to laws that prohibit them from cutting down any trees for any purpose, for example, for firewood, or to extend their lot. If caught cutting any trees, people endure exorbitant fines of ten minimum wages or prison sentences.

Simultaneously, logging companies are clearcutting large areas of forest for profit that goes to the wealthy minor-

Many indigenous people complain that theyare not given the right to land, or that they have been violently removed from land by the army and police.

For the most part, this breeching of the constitution has not been brought to the public eye in the past because the demonstrations and petitioning undertaken by the indigenous people of Chiapas has been non-violent The resistance has also been dismissed and suppressed by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which has been in power for 70 years.

In some cases indigenous and rural people (campesinos) have occupied land to press their cases, and the PRI has evicted and imprisoned them. This has created the illusion that there was not an unjust land-holding system, but that the issue was one of illegal land takeover.

The land problems have been worsened by NAFTA, due to the modification of article 27 in the Mexican constitution, which stated that all Mexicans were entitled to land for sustenance.

Government planners explain that this change was made to allow for the growth of larger scale developers in order for them to be able to compe;e.with the agribusinesses from the north.

‘This amendment is very harmful to rural farmers, because it concentrates the wealth in the hands of fewer people, and increases the poverty of the majority. Many campesinos are tempted to

Chiapas is a state rich in oil reserves.

These are being plundered rapidly, without respect for the people who inhabit the areas, or for the delicate rainforest ecosystems which are being destroyed.

Pemex (Petroleum Mexico) is the company responsible for this exploitation, and every day it’s control becomes increasingly foreign, accordingto sub-commander Marcos, who is the spokesperson forthe Zapatista National Liberation Army (IZLN).

The indigenous people of Chiapas have been organising against the many injustices they have endured for years. Different sources claim different histories of the existence and organisation of the revolutionaries, but it is clear that the FZLN is an outgrowth of various long existing grassroots organisations.

One account explains that they have been carefully preparing for the insurrection for ten years. They were never discovered because they have bought all their weapons gradually and Iegitimately so that the government would not be able to track them down.

A different account says that rumours about a growing rebel force in Chiapas have been circulating for at least four years. Both the Mexican and the United States governments, however, chose to ignore the indigenous people’s claims because of the NAFTA debates. News about injustice and oppression in Mexico might afterall have jeopardised the passage of the Free Trade

ast year at this time I wrote about the I relative advantages to spoiling your ballot in an election. Ey sp&g that ballot you effectively say that you are not satisfied with the choices afforded you.

Of course that was within the context of last year’s infamous CFS referendum, not with regards to choosing from a list of candidates, which makes it easier to weigh your choices and reject them. When forced to choose between a number of candidates, it is often easier to find something you Ii ke in one of the candidates and vote for him or her. Thus one would expect a smaller percentage of spoiled ballots in actual elections.

So lets look at this year’s election. Of the total 72 I7 ballots cast, 2 I6 were spoiled ballots, meaning that roughly three per cent of ballots were spoiled. In the presidential ballot, 3.63 per cent of ballots were spoiled. For VPUA 3.4 per cent of ballots were spoiled and I .9 per cent of VPOF ballots were spoiled.

Out of the various faculties, the highest percentage of spoiled ballots came from Renison/ St.. Jerome’s colleges with 8.75 per cent followed by optometry with 8.57 per cent, both on the presidential ticket. The next highest from there was 7.37 per cent in the VPUA category from math.

What does all this mean? Well, very little - but at least something.

All these spoiled balots mean that in these facultieslcollegds, these people had a hard time choosing between one candidate and the other on both the presidential and VPUA ballots.

From this we can determine one of two things, without really stretching the limits of possibilities. First, we could say that because the

presidential vote garnered the most spoiled ballots, that decision was the hardest to make.

In other words, the candidates were equally good or bad. The same can be said for VPUA. Second, we can assume that a high percentage of voters were sufficiently pi&d with the whole thing to demonstrate their objettions by desecr&ng their ballots, which is probably the more likely of the two.

In the end, however, it seems more likely that if we wanted to determine how successful the election was, we would be better to ask how many students took the trouble to vote. The answer: 2430 - I7 per cent of the student body.

The point of all this is not only to demonstrate how easy it is to fill space with numbers, nor only to blame the students for being politically apathetic, nor to congratulate the Feds for running another boring election campaign, but only to show that it really doesn’t matter that much.

We now have another version of the Federation of Students executive to look forward to: different to previous executives of course, but ultimately the same. They will continue to plug for OUSA, establish more conservative student alliances and consortiums, and not really change the situation incredibly.

So my challenge, then, it for the new executive to transform themselves into strong, charismatic leaders. Get this student body excited about something that doesn’t revolve around computer screens and spellings of the

word woman.

As I said to one candidate after the Math forum: if only there was a candidate that would go completely out on a limb and fight for what they believe in, not continuously practice damage control and image grooming.

Let’s hope that within the next two months, before the new executive takes power; at least one of those candidates will take this to heart Then maybe next year someone will follow in their footsteps, and we’ll see less spoiled ballots and wishy washy candidate forums.

Guys

lfyou are one of those admirable souls who works tirelessly for some social justice issue that you hold close to your heart, let me tell you something. You know how you often flirt with burn-out because change comes so slowly and people often seem less capable of progressive thinking than your dog? Take heart, we all go through similar emotional turmoil. I had yet another experience of this sort just last week Thankfully, it was while I was in the company of many of the people I admire most And thankfully, the human spirit is resilient. Allow me to elaborate.

On Tuesday the eighth, I went to the informative and entertaining lecture given by Sunera Thobani, president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC).

Thobani was at UW to speak about the ‘backlash’ against feminism and the women’s movement that is currently being witnessed on university campuses across North America. I was pleased to see that the talk was well attended, and noted that the audience included a fairly diverse cross-section of the university population as well as a few interested citizens from the ‘real world’.

Thobani’s presentation was both well rehersed and well received - as would be exI petted from such a distinguished speaker. She gave an eloquent dissertation on the nature of womyn’s experiences in ‘institutes of higher learning’ and encouraged us to re-examine the basis of their entrenched structures.

In addition, she discussed the inextricability of these scholastic environments from the attitudes and social relationships that dominate the societies in which they exist.

Although the lecture was rather straightforward for anyone who is at all cognizant of contemporary feminist thought, this was not simply an evening of nodding our heads in passive agreement; the reversion to reality came during the somewhat exasperating question and answer

period

that followed.

Ever want

to bang your head against a wall?

It is amazing just how recalcitrant people can be. To their credit, some of the audience asked insightful questions and looked to Sunera for clarification or enlightenment.

Sadly how-

ever, many of the inquisitive sounded a bit too much like the Inquisition. Don’t get me wrong, there weren’t any fist fights or heated exchanges, just a general refusal to keep to the topic instead of debating nit-picky externalities. I guess that people simply feel a real need to lash out at those things that they fear might jeopardize their comfortable positions within the status quo.

For this reason, it pains but does not surprise me that all of the most defensive and accusatory comments came from amongst the regrettably small number of men in attend-

the same as the one in the Oxford dictionary.

In their defence, some of the men in question seemed to simply be poor communicaters and were not really intent on demeaning the efforts and viewpoints of the feminists in attendance. Others appeared merely to lack the will or ability to understand these issues from any perspective other than their selfinterested one. However, that doesn’t excuse their thinly veiled anger.

It is really depressing to me to be repeatedly reminded of how narrow-minded and terrified of change people can be. Why can’t

ante. At times I noticed myself internalizing their attitudes and being embarrased to be represented by their ignorance. Why do you feel so threatened guys? Why must you sound so aggressive and so hardened in your opinions? Why dontt you ask questions with the intention of learning?

I was truly bothered by the sounds of superiority that eminated from the men in question. They came to express their views, not to understand the views of womyn. Instead of entering the discourse by asking provocative questions, they attacked employment equity as reverse discrimination (haven’t we heard enough of this one?), questioned the validity of the figures released by Statistics Canada on violence against women, wondered why there are no men on the Board of directors of NAC (it’s a womyn’s organisation), and complained that Thobani’s definition of discrimination wasn’t

more people be inspired to discuss possibilities? Each time I am confronted with the next immovable object, the rollercoaster begins anew. This lecture was yet another opportunity for me to experience the myriad emotions that make the quest for gender equality both frustrating and rewarding.

In this case, the pattern was similar to the one I seem to follow at almost all of these types of events.

Despite the onslaught of dismal and oken tragic statistics which were cited during Sunera’s talk, I was initially comforted by the sense that in the increasing commonplace of these discussions alone, progress was being made. This was quickly followed by a flaming re-entry to the earth’s atmosphere caused by the realisatian that much of the world continues to marginalize the messages I find so inspiring.

Jeff 81 -Ken bad - Feds good To the editor: I’ve been it Waterloo for the past six yars and every year the pre-election issue of Imprint is one of the most contentious.

This year I think it stepped over the line, on a few accounts. The section I’m talking about is “A completely biased review of the candidates”.

First, right to free speech and prefacing commentaries with warnings are all valid points.

However, the media always says that it doesn’t influence public opinion when it publishes political polls and opinions of candidates. The media does influence public opinion. Newspapers do influence public opinion. If they didn’t, advertising wouldn’t be such a large industry.

Since the potential to influence is so large, responsibility must be exercised when commentaries and opinions are used. Jeff and Ken were completely within their rights to publish a personal commentary of the political candidates. However, when printing such an admittedly biased review, rssponsibility would dictate that it shoutd have been placed AFTER the unbiased profiles. (i.e. the back page of the election pull-out section, not the front!)

Secondly, journalistic integrity invw .presentingei@r alI sides of an argument, or at least all the facts. This was broken with your (Jeff & Ken’s personal vendetta) treatment of Kurvits. The authors know as well as anyone that the reasons for CFS YES resigning are much more complicated than the article made them appear.

Even the most well seasoned moderator would have had difficulties with the heated CFS debate. I don’t know enough about Ku&s’ actions and reactions as CR0 to comment on them directly. I do know that CFS YES wasn’t innocent in all of this and violated a handful of referendum rules (i.e. trying to hire outside consultants, violating spending limits, and handing out unstamped election material in the Villages). One of GUYS

- CONT’D

I have a deep respect for the people I care about. It was nice to see so many of them in attendance. More importantly, it was rewarding to see them rise above petty bickering to find real empowerment in their solidarity. This is a very motivating force.

Sunera epitomized this transcendence by maintaining her dignity through the never-ending struggle against criticism and intractability.

What struck me most at this lecture - as is always the case - was the immensity of what we would all gain if we could only escape from the suffocating limitations of narrowty defined gender roles and the power structures they inspire. Equality is about everyone.

As I sat listening to the lecture, I repeatedly found my eyes wandering back to the very playfully drawn and colourfully decorated, “Welcome Sunera” poster that graced front of an otherwise uninviting lecture hall.

The banner was a celebration of the event and an indication of the sense of excitement and community that this evening had engendered in its

tOrum

the reasons why they disbanded was to avoid the impending fines for breaking the rules. You can’t disqualify what doesn’t exist. Like I’ve said, there were a number of reasons why CFS YES resigned, Kurvits may have been one of them, but the article failed to provide context, background, or even all the facts. That violated your journalistic integrity.

Thirdly, the article showed very poor taste, and an extreme lack of either compassion or empathy, in its treatment of Klein and Briggs. Once again you’re entitled to present an opinion but a certain level of maturity, class, and respect is expected.

School yard bully comments like: “Reasons for voting for her include her nifty recycled buttons and the really cool Watpubs she organized in Toronto”; “The CCBC is a good idea, he feels, but his soccer refereeing experience apparently doesn’t give him any ideas about new directions” are totally inappropriate.

I have no idea if this article was another planned attempt to unseat UW ap3thy but 1 think jt crossed as line. It was a back-handed, below-the-belt-fest that showed poor taste, a lack of integrity, and a lack of responsibility.

As a postscript, Imprint is always bitching that- the issues are the same, the candidates are the same, blah, blah, blah (I thinklmprint editors are always the same). Why don’t one of you self righteous visionaries untie the piano from your cynical, left-wing ass and put your money where your overly developed mouths (or fingers) are? Why don’t one of you run for a Fed position? It would be interesting to see what a “completely biased review” of you would look like.

Black madness To the editor=

In a recent “Paranoia” article titled “Black Market Clash” Sandy Atwal supports the federal government’s reduction of cigarette taxes. Sandy Atwal makes the point that increased taxation of cigarettes has not been implemented in the past in order to gain revenue but instead to reduce the number of smokers. If this is the case (and I believe it is) why is the government now so worried about the amount of money it is losing to contraband cigarettes?

It seems to me that the government has simply abandoned its

policy of trying to reduce smoking and has opted instead for a new money making venture.

Sandy Atwal concedes that smoking increases the long term costs of health care for society, but that instead of trying to reduce smoking we should just stop paying for he&h costs in&red ;hrkigh;moking.

How do we determine exactly when smoking has contributed to a specific illness or disease? Shall we stop paying any medical bills for people who smoke, or just incidences of lung cancer! What about those people who suffer lung cancer due to non smoking related factors?

Will they be forced to prove that they have never been a smoker in order to receive medical funding?

What Sandy Atwal proposes is that we set up smokers as a sub class of people who will still pay taxes but no longer receive their benefits. He states that he doesn’t expect other people to pay for his mistakes, but I doubt that anyone found suffering from a life threatening disease such as cancer would happily relinquish their right to public health care and simply allow themselves to die (with the high costs of medical treatment I find it unlikely that a working class person would be able to afiord such costs out oftheir pocket).

This argument also fails to take into account the tong term costs incurred from the effects of second hand smoke.

Should we also not pay for medical coverage for those people that live or work with smokers?

In my view both the federal government and Sandy Atwal have put forth short sighted arguments in support of the tax reduction tihich ignore the long term consequences of such a policy.

It’s quite amazing that in I994 I need to be writing about book banning, but believe it or not, the ugly head of ignorance is rearing its bignosed head once asin.

A student here at Waterloo has found it in her heart to decide what you and I should read, and Canada Customs has made the same righteous decision.

We should start at the very beginning, and try and explain why freedom of speech is an important ideal, perhaps one of the most important that we have, and why book banning serves no end at all.

The freedom of speech and of expression is quite simply that right

’ which says that I have a positve right, which others may not obstruct me in, to read and write what I want when I want. 1am the decision maker when it comes to what is good and bad, what is moral and immoral, and what is offensive and what is not.

There are, of course, limitations but they are restrictions which apply to what I write and say about other peopie, that is, limitations on libel and slander.

The important thing to remember about these rights is that they apply to other individuals, and collections of specific individuals.

I can’t go around saying that Joe Smith is a child molester, and I can’t go around saying that the Water Buffalo Lodge houses murderers.

What this rule does not apply to

Mill is rolling

is collective, undesignated groups such as “Women” or “Black People” or Jews.”

The difference lies in the fact that these groups can’t be specifically defended. Who is the right spokesperson forJews? Albert Einstein? Jerry Seinfeld!

There isn’t a person who is the representative for these people, and therein lies the problem that hate literature laws can only begin to deal with.

I can’t say that all Jewish people should be shot, but I can (at least last time I checked) say that the Holocaust never happened.

To say that something offends “Women” as a whole is to suggest that we can go to person X who will represent women, who can make a claim against the offending material against all women.

I’d ask all those females reading this who they think would be the proper representative for their gender in this case. Or, I’d invite any black people to choose between Bryant Gumbel and Louis Farrakhan to defend their rights.

The problem with using collective terms such as “women” or “Jews” is that it degrades that group because it says that “since all you people are the same anyway, we can just pretend that you’re one person, namely this representative X.” That’s the great thing about freedom of speech, it says that YOU are rational and YOU are educated and that YOU are able to make decisions for YOURSELF. It’s amazing that political correctness has reached this phase in its totalitarian scourge so quickly and without the resistance that such stupidity war-

The Artist Authenticity

herself, her life, and her art form able to present to society an insight into the human condition. The true artist represents what is most real in our lives, and that part of us which we almost always ignore in our day to day activity - especially in our secularised world.

The artist expresses what is best and worst in us all - the artist is angel and devil, and faces this reality boldly enough to enter into it.

It is the tension of the human situation that the artist must communicate to us. The imperative to do so does not come from some morality, but because it is in the artist’s nature, as an artist, to live and die within this creative tension.

The artist knows wholeness, ecstasy, union, and the beautific vision.

The artist also knows alienation, coldness, night, and ultimate despair.

O’Keefe and Rodin were artists Norman Rockwell was not. Society needs the artist to, in effect, know itself. When I say this I mean that the true artist is a prophet who necessarily needs to be heard if we are to survive and live out our lives as full human beings.

Artists, as prophets, know the times in which they live. When I say they know the times, I mean they intuitively are aware of alI that lives and breathes around them. Miles Davis and John Coltrane were artists, Pat Boone was not.

With the recent heist of the famous piece of art “The Scream,” by Edvard Munch, it is time to recognize the role of the artist in human society.

I would like to first make the distinction between an authentic artist and a person who is recognised by others or herself as an amist because she is able to draw a picture with some formal training and structure.

In contrast to the “artist” who is merely schooled to perform tricks like a well-trained dog, I see the authentic artist as a sensitive soul who is in

The whole argument over banning books is not something I will even to present, since I don’t understand it in the least. I simply don’t understand why people feel the need to “protect” other people from works which they probably don’t understand themselves.

I find the fact that Lot had sex with his daughters, yet is still considered a good Christian, offensive, but I don’t go around trying to ban the Bible.

I understand that other people have different tastes in literature than I, and some of it I find offensive, but that’s the price I pay. I leave you alone as long as you don’t hurt me and you do the same.

Sounds simple to me.

It is the responsibility of “society” to listen very intently to the artist, for it is primarily the artist who pushes the culture forward and makes all things new.

Free expression, which means freedom from corporate business interests, offic:ial Church teachings, community moral restraints and so forth are a prerequisite for a society which wishes to take the artist seriously.

The artist lives by the dictum “to thine own self be true” and must not accept any other code for deciding on what to create. If the artist is to create something “devilish” in the eyes of peers and pressure groups, she must see it as her responsibility to go beyond the perceived “good and evil,” and create in spite of persecution.

The artist as prophet is often not accepted’ and she is misunderstood by the people who are no longer sensitive to the human condition. This must be accepted, for it is the destiny of the artistgiven to her in her nature, and she could not be othewise.

The artist, whether as painter, dancer, musician, philosopher, or theologian, must fully engage the culture and times they live in. To fail to do so is to fail society and the responsibility to be truly human.

If you were to ask what religion meant to me I would have to say, jack Chick.

If you are a$ all familiar with downtown Kitchener then you must at some time, have encountered one of those warm and friendly people who stop you to hand you one of those delightful littlecomic booklreligioustractschurned out by Chick publications.

Oh, how r wish I still had my collection ofjack Chick comics so that I could provide you with a graphic as an example. I had twenty-five of them but I made the mistake of leaving them down here at the office and some bastard stole them.

You know, it’s funny, some people are annoyed when someone gives them a Chick comic and actually throw these things away, but I, who covet this stuff like gold, can’t seem to hold on to them.

The irony is too much. Anyway, I don’t get downtown very much so if there is anyone out there who wants to unload some chick comics on me, feel free. Also if that bastard who stole my coltection happens to be reading this, take a gander at the one called The Letter: those fiery, demon infested pits await you wise guy!

I remember the very first Chick comic that I ever owned. It was in high school, and 1had found it so I didn’t get that personal touch that one gets when confronted with one of Jack Chick’s iinions, but man I knew that I was on to something.

It was old and tattered, but still quite readabte, it posed the question “Are Catholics Really Christian?” and then answered it with a resounding no.

According to this pamphlet, the Catholic Church was realty this “whore” riding on the back of some apocalyptic beast as mentioned somewhere in Revelations. I believe it also claimed that the Pope was really the anti-Christ Anyway, the central message wds that if you were Catholic, then you were going to Hell.

1 remembered reading somewhere that someone was trying to get this sort of stuff classified as hate literature, so I pocketed it and kept quiet. I wouldn’t be completely honest if I didn’t own up to the fact that I was intrigued by the forbidden fruit aspect of the whole thing.

A coupte of years later I was lucky enough to secure a night job at a self-sense gas station. Every day at 5 A.M. an old fellow would drive up in an old brown station wagon, which was plastered with Christian-oriented stickers and signs, and get five dollars worth of gas. He would come in and talk at me about Jesus for a while, but before he left he would always teave, you guessed it, a Chick comic.

Oh, happy days! I would sit in my four by four foot booth, listening to the radio and reading about how the Russian Czar commissioned a search for Noah’s Ark, but all the evidence which had been found was destroyed by the communists.

I read about how heavy metal was turning our youth into a generation of witches and warlocks, and about how the bar code that is put on products was the mark of the Beast.

Of particular interest were the adaptations of Bible stories. These books generally contained the best drawings and portrayed biblical events with accurate detail. At first, I thought that Jack Chick was making this stuff up, but I would cross reference with my Bible and soon found that old Jack was not shitting me.

Lot really did offer to allow a mob of horny Sodomites to have his daughters in place of his angelic guesti. Actually, Jack toned down the more disturbing aspects of the Bible, no doubt out of sensitivity to his younger readership.

Some doubting Thomases have tried to tell me that jack Chick isn’t a real person but rather a made up corporate identity like Uncle Ben or Chef Boy-Ardee. Screw them; Jack Chick exists!

is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed you, that you may ward off (evil)“ of the meaning of the Qur’an [2: 1831

Fasting

Sharqf

A few days ago, over one billion Muslims fasting for the month of Ramadan. Fasting is one of the pillars of Islam. It has been an inegral part of all major religions. Prophet Moses (PBUH) fasted for forty days and nights before he was given the Law. Similarly, Prophet Jesus (PBUH) fasted for forty days before he was called to prophethood.

Fasting in Ramadan is the special worship designed to develop in humans the ability to exercise self-restraint and patience for the pleasure of Allah, man’s Creator, Lord and Nourisher.

Its objective is to give one the power to keep in check his/her unruly desires and tendencies that make him/her prone to greed, revenge, anger, provocation and fear; that make him/her commit various sins, acts of aggression, cruelty and oppression. It seeks to free the human soul and lends it the moral and spiritual strength to promote beauty, harmony, goodness, truth, kindness, peace, compassion and justice.

In fasting, especially, there is no mundane authority to check human’s behavior or compel her/him to observe the fasting. It cultivates in humans a vigilant and sound conscience as he/she keeps his/her fast in secret as well as in public.

Moreover, it originates in humans the real spirit of social belonging, of uniry and brotherhood’ of equality before Allah as well as before the Law. This is the natural product of the fact that when a Muslim fasts, he/she feels that he/she is joining the whole Muslim society in observing the same duty in the same manner at the same time for the same motives to the same end.

Islamic fasting may be defined as the worship in which man willingly forsakes his quite legitimate needs tike eating, drinking and other lawful pleasures in compliance with the commandment of Allah, every day for a whole month, Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. The daily started

period of observance starts before the break of the dawn and ends immediately after sunset Association of fasting with the month of Ramadan reminds us that it was during this month that Allah perfected His blessing upon humankind by giving us His last book, the Qur’an. “Ramadan is the month in which was sent down the Qur’an as a guide to mankind, also clear (signs) for guidance and judgement (between right and wrong). So everyone of you who is present (at home) during that month should spend it in fasting? [2: I85]. It has been an established practice since the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that Muslims used to recite the WHOLE Qur’an in special prayers during the nights of this blessed month of Ramadan. The purpose of this recitation is to reflect and ponder over the guidance, wisdom and admonition which Allah has sent it to us presented in the Qur’an.

The person who leads others in those special prayers has to have the WHOLE Qur’an (i.e., from A to Z) committed to his memory. Sbtistitally speaking, there are few hundred thousand Muslims who memorize the WHOLE Qur’an by heart all over the world (five of them in Waterloo only!). This was and has been a miraculous means of preserving the Qur’an for more than I400 years. Equally noteworthy is the fact that most of those who memorize the WHOLE Qur’an are non-Arabs and their mother tongue is not Arabic which is the language of the Qur’an they memorize. This is a clear fulfillment of the following verse “And We (Allah) have indeed made the Qur’an easy to remember, but is there any that remembers?” [54:40].

Crisis

about themselves.

In the United States, studies have been done with African children that illustrate the parallel between the two cases. African children have had nc~o caricatures of the same child placed before them which are identical to each other except for the fact that one is coloured white and the other is coloured black. When asked which is more

which are used extensively by African women in order to achieve a more Caucasoid appearance.

The western society’s concept of female beauty is limited to women with long flowing hair - preferably blonde. This is why African women would sit through gruelling treatments with lye, sometimes burning and damaging their scalp, in order to be accepted by their equally brainwashed African

of a few years ago. Surely she would not have won had she had the broad nose or full lips that are characteristic of a West African appearance. She would not have even made it from backstage if she had left her hair unprocessed by chemicals,

once a source of selfhatred.

The concept that all African-Americans had adopted about Africa through their indoctrination and miseducation in this society, was of a continent filled with streaming jungles, cannibals,

People are what they have had to be. What the African has had to be since their induction into slavery is something less than their self. Kings, queens, princes, and priests, of highly civilized cultures and societies, were made to be nothing more than mules, oxen, servers, and servants.

Any type of oral communication in their African tongues was made punishable. If they were caught with literature they were sure to be hanged. This prohibited them from passing on their ideologies and rich history from one generation to the next They would no longer have any sort of mental se&defence against the dehumanizing effects of

slavery.

It is this lack of self-defence

that has left the African-American psychologically decimated. Why else would a disproportionate number of Africans be found suffering in the ghettos of North America?

Why else would African-Americans own little if anything collectively? The answer does not lie in an inherent laziness or incapacity for complex thought and organisation as some may argue. For people such as Marcus Garvey, and Malcolm X are there to prove them wrong. However, it is not correct either to view discrimination as the only restraint to the progress of Africans.

How is it that groups such as the Jews and Chinese may propel themselves into economic and political power despite prejudiced attitudes towards them? The answer lies in the fact that these groups have what the displaced African now lacks, and that is a common culture, language, religion, and identity. The absence of a rich identity has kept our people wallowing in self-hatred and self-rejection, or clamouring desperately in an attempt to assimilate into the mainstream society.

The same drama that is played out in a parent-child relationship, where the parent repeatedly

tells

the

child

that

they

are

dumb,

ugly,

or

worthless, is played out by North American society and its African population. Just as the verbally abused child will grow up subconsciously harbouring feelings that they are exactly what their parents called them, Africans end up believingthe negative stereotypes which they are taught

and naked savages running through the tall grass with their penises wrapped around their ankles.

Ignorance of any true knowledge of their motherland has left Africans in the Americas with no choice but to reject everything about themselves that is African.

In fact, the worst insult that one can possibly hurl at an African-American who has disowned their roots is to call them a “black African”. Call them a “spook”, call them a “coon”, hang them by their toenails, gouge out their eyes, but do not do not even consider - calling them anything containing the word Africa. “That is the past!“, they will insist. “We have come a long way, why do you want to turn back?“, they will ask. “I left nothing in Africa !!!“, they will exclaim, but what they have leti in Africa is their minds.

If we are to lift ourselves out of stagnation, and pull ourselves up from the bottom rung of the economic ladder, we must first shatter all that is wedged between us. The fact that we now live in such diverse cultures, and speak many languages, and have many different religions is a major obstacle to our unity. What we must adopt to solve this problem is a Pan-Africanist ideology.

This way of thinking allows us to recognize all Africans throughout the world as part of an international family with a common aim and destiny. We must no longer consider ourselves Coloureds, Negroes+ or even Blacks, for the Chinese born in Africa is still considered Chinese, but an African born in China is nothing other than B-L-A-C-K. In calling ourselves by these titles we cannot attribute ourselves to any landmass as other peoples such as Asians, Indians, or Europeans are able to. There is, after all, no land called Blackland.

Through the study of African history, Iearning that Africa is not only the cradie of mankind but also the place to which we owe all sciences of the mind, we will gain the tools with which to break the mental restraints that keep us shackled and bound. In fact, after a thorough study of our history we could never be the same again. What we wit1 have gained is a sincere love of self and of our family which we never before would have had.

We will throw away all of the hair-relaxers, skin bleachers, and coloured contaE;ts. What will be revealed through conscientious:study is the African’s relation to all people, all ciyilizations, and all histories. Once and for all we wilt know who we really are. Furthermore, we wilt understand what we have had to be. This will better explain what we now are, and if anything at all is learned, it will be made clear what it is that we must become.

“Correctness”

by Ricardo Marshall special to Xmprint The call today seems to be for eliminating double standards through the use of gender-neutral and “politically correct” language. People are verbally assaulted for using sexist words like ‘mankind’.

Seeing this as a sign of things to come, I waited for the changes to begin, thinking: “They will realise that it is as important to use race-neutral language as it is to use gender neutral language, especially in this multi-culrural society.”

I continue waiting.

Within tie “English” language there is a negative connotation associated with words and phrases featuring the

Decolonizing

by Chiaka Bankole special to Imprint Physical enslavement and colonisation were always only partly the work of white domination. The critical task of white supremacy was to instill in the minds of non-white peoples a sense of their inferiority in relation to their white oppressors.

In this regard, it has succeeded outrageously.

The work of black liberation then must consist of not simply eradicating physical domination but of simultaneously examining the ways in which the psychological weapons of oppression still operate, and the impact of those ways of seeing on lived black reality. t have heard blacks and non-blacks suggest that it is unfair to speak of the present systsm%of pervasive white values and ways 6f being in terms that connect them to their historical past. In other words, they might ask what a young white person has to do with the atrocities committed by her or his foreparents. To this I say that it is the systematic exploitation of other peoples in which their foreparentr participated that laid the foundation for the privileged position of white culture and life iri the world today. If there is, as is asserted, a genuine interest in justice in the light of these issues, the situation must be examined from its roots. fn her book, Black Looks: Race and Re Bell Hooks writes about the+ importance of developing an ’’ “oppositional gaze”. Such a gaze challenges the distoning and negating of blackness in the non-black representa-

five letters B L A C K. We speak of Blackmail, Blackball and Black Friday. I have never associated positive values with words such as these. How are we to combat racism and show people the contributions the black race has made to humanity if the views people associate with the word BLACK are negative?

Use of the word ‘mankind’ often results in a request from your professor for gender-neutral language, yet the same professor can stand in front of his/her class and speak of Blackmail and not be questioned.

This topic should not have to be addressed in this age of “political correctness”, but I will raise it because others seem reluctant to do so.

At a feminist discussion, I was asked to analyse both the Clarence Thomas and Carl Master controversies strictly from P feminist point of view.

Yet I could not do this. Unlike my peers, I could not view these cases as solely feminist issues; they were black issues as well. Unlike my colleagues, 1 was an African-Canadian woman.

Ironically, feminist issues and African-Canadian issues make strange bed fellows. Consequently, some AfricanCanadian feminists debate that

Feminism) L*womanism’t (feminism for woman of colour) should be segregated from fqminism because of the conflicting issues faced by both. Though African-Canadian women suffer from a different discrimination, all women are victims of a social system predominantly shaped by a white patriarchal system, I am proud of my feminist views, but I am also proud of my heritage. It has shaped me into a strong AfricanCanadian woman, willing to eradicate any racial or sexual barriers faced. So do not ask me to view life strictly from a woman’s eyes, because ‘my ethnicity shades everything I see.

George Washington Carver was world-renowned for his achievements in agricultural research. He taught Southern sharecroppers and farmers how to grow and preserve nutritious foods as well as how to maximize their yield by rotating crops. In 1914. he used his influence to convince Southern Congressmen to move to other crops besides cotton - a crop being threatened by the boll weevil - and revolutionized Southern agriculture.

He developed processes for manufacturing paper, ink, shaving cream, linoleum, synthetic rubber, plastics, bleach, metal polish and over 300 other consumer and industrial products from the peanut and the sweet potato.

Carver was sought all over the world for his expertise in plant disease and mycology. Mahatma Ghandi solicited Carver’s advice on building and maintaining the country’s agricultural system. Even Joseph Stalin sought out his advice to help him exploit the fertility of the massive expanses of land in the former USSR. Carver’s development of peanut milk - a more nutritious alternative to cow’s milk - saved hundreds of babies in West Africa.

Born a slave in Mississippi, Carver earned a high school diploma after the Civil War while working as a farmhand.

He attended Iowa Agricultural College while working as the school janitor. He received his Master’s degree from Iowa as well, and became the first black person to serve on its faculty. Shortly thereafter, he joined the faculty at Booker T. Washington’s Tuskegee.

Above all, Carver was a spiritual person: “How do I talk to a little flower?

Through it I talk to the Infinite.... 1refer to the unseen Spirit, that defies the power of human expression.... When you look into the heart of the rose, there you experience it.” Carver never patented most of his discoveries while at Tuskegee: “God gave them to me; how can I sell them to someone else?”

Though he was offered large salaries to work for Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, Carver chose instead to work for the improvement of the quality of life for the disenfranchised: “If I took that money, I might forget my people.”

our Views‘ tion of black peopIe, and asks us to consider our lived reality - what we and the African people we know in our own contexts are really Ii ke. By naming what we experience, think, and feel when we view stereotypical visions of ourselves, such as in films and the media, we can see the falseness of the images and engage in the crucial act of refusing to identify with those images.

When we face images, such as the ones the media loves to dish up for us, of African famine, black on black violence etc., we need not feel shame in them as though they confirm ’ an inferioritythat people “used to talk about”, rather we need to critically examine the reasons behind those situations.

We do not have to passively consume dehumanizing visions of blackness. More and more African, African Caribbean, African American and other African film-makers are writing and making films that present African people from a position of personal knowledge. As consumers of images we can act even in seeing by questioning what informs our seeing and deciding what position we will take in relation to the offered image.

As Bell Hooks states, “...a11 attempts to repress our/black peoples’ right to gaze had produced in us an overwhelming longing to look, a rebefllous desire, an oppositional gaze. By courageously looking, we defiantly declared: ‘not only will I stare- I want my look to change reality?’

Tomomow, the bureaucrats at the C1AU who decide on top-ten rankings will be either vindicated or shown to be fools.

The nationat spin doctors have underestimated&e potency ofthe Black Plague all season, and at 2 p.m. tomorrow, the PAC will see a test of their opinions as the nationally tenth-ranked Waterloo Warriors host the numbernine McMaster Marauders for the OUM West crown.

The winner goes to the Nationals at Dalhousie University in Halifax in two weeks, and the loser goes home.

This has all the makings of a grudge match, for both teams. Last season, the Marauders routed a self-destructing Plague squad in Hamilton in the division

final.

But so far this year, Waterloo has had the best of the $ay, beating Mac on their own floor in November before completing the sweep earlier this term in a thrilling five-game set. Beating Mac for a third straight time will not be an easy task.

These two schools dominated the OUAA West all-star team announced this week.

Waterloo setter Shawn Smith, a CIAU all-star last season, and power hitter Matt Reed join Marauders Andreas Schirm and Steve Dunlop on the ail-star team. As well, coach of the year honours went to UW head coach Ed Price in his first year of university coaching.

Windsor’s Steve Ray and Westem’s Bryan Kussnerfilled out the team.

Finally. the Warriors recovered a a Smith set to Reed for the match-point smash drove the point home.

SquashAthenasscoreOWIAA bronze

by Heather MacLeod Imp f int spurts The Athena squash team travelled to London last weekend and came away with a bronze medal at the OWIAA finals.

Tabatha Froats, Evelyn Yeung, Pam Grills, Heather MacLeod, Sue Jones, and Honee Hoculik represented the team in positions six through une respectively.

Waterloo had no trouble with the Ryerson team, winning at all six positions. This win put Waterloo in the medal contention round. There was no debate that the Queen’s Golden Gaels would win thegold, but the silver would

entail a duel between the Athenas and the McMaster Marauders.

Against Queen’s, the Athenas battled hard, played excellent squash and forced their opponents to the limits.

However, Queen’s won 5-O due to their more experienced players.

MacLeod was the only Athena to get a game off the Golden Gaels.

The squash matches against Mac proved to be an added challenge. Once again, the Athenas put forth their best effort and by playing great shot selection, Waterloo came very close to downing McMaster.

However, the Marauders proved to be more sesoned and won at every position. Frosts and MacLeod did man-

age to each capture one game.

Hoculik and Jones played remarkable games at positions one and two against junior national players. Grills, Yeung and Frosts all demonstrated a tremendous improvement in their squash game as they showed their opponents they were a force to be reckoned with.

Other team members C. Anderson, S. Weening, and M. Baer are also commended on their participation with the team this year.

The Athenas are very proud of their third-place finish and would like to thank coach Mark Hovey for all his dedication and hard work throughout the entire season.

For those of you who were channel-gradng on Wednesday nightaround 7:30 to f 0~00 p-m., you may have seen a familiar sight on TSN. Yes, that’s right, the familiar black and gold of the Waterloo Warriors was on national TV, facing off against the Western Mustings down in London.

(Demils unavailable at press time.)

Undoubtedly for many, this was their first glimpse of the hockey Warriors, as university hockey is not often shown on nationwide television. Nonetheless, TSN realizes that university hockey is a great game, much better than most people realize, and certainly more than Waterloo fans realize.

The Warriors’ regular season witI end on Saturday in Windsor, in a game that means nothing for both teams in terms of standings, but means a lot to Waterloo, who hope to gain some mo-

mentum heading into the playoffs.

Last weekend, the Warriors travetled up to Alaska to play two exhibition games, and while this allowed head coach Don McKee the opportunity to fine-tune his line-up, it also took the boys off-focus from their CNJAA goals.

Both games were 8-4 losses for Waterloo, who now need some kind of a boost before trying their luck in the post-season.

Waterloo’s fate in the second season hinge upon a one-game suddendeath game againstthe Warriors’traditional enemy, Wilfrid Laurier. If you only go to one game this season, this is the one to go to.

Laurier is truly afraid of Waterloo, as the Warriors are the only team that can rattle their defence and netminding, leading to high-scoring goal parties.

Although Waterloo has lost each of the four meetings between the two teams (7-6, 7-3, 7-3, 9-7), no other team has put as many pucks behind the Golden Hawk netminder, Rick Pracey, and Waterloo plays extremely well on Laurier’s old ice at the Waterloo Memorial Arena, affectionately known the “Bubble”.

Thanks to the Scott Tournament of Old Farts, being played at the new Waterloo Recreation Complex, the hockey Hawks have had to move homeice for the first round of the play-offs.

It’s a shame that curling had to preempt a real sport.

The hockey game is scheduled for

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, at 7:30 p.m., and the Waterloo Ice-Men really need some support from the fans at this one. Simply put, if Waterloo wins they face Western in a best-ofthree series, and if Waterloo loses they go home. Period.

The team with more at stake from this scenario, however, is Laurier, as their outsmnding season all comes down to 60 minutes of loser-go-home hockey.

OUAA hockey playoff preview

You pays your money and you takes your chances

by Nicholas Mew Imprint spurts and reformed gambler The significance of the headline and byline is simple. This year’s OUAA hockey playoffs are a crapshoot, and almost any team can win it all. Or not.

Who knows.

Nonetheless, there are a few solid predictions that I will make, so get ready for it

Far West This division could be won by anybody, regular-season records be damned. Waterloo (I 2-8-2) faces Laurier (I 9-3- I) next Tuesday, February 23 at the Kitchener Auditorium in a one-game series, and although the Golden Hawks have had the Warriors’ number all-season long, my gut prediction is that Waterloo will win. The

change in venue, forced by a curling tournament at the Waterloo Mutual Group Arena, should negate any notions of home=ice advantage for WLU. Whoever wins in the first round gets to face the perennial playoff chok= ers, Western, in a best-of-three series for the sectional title. While the Mustangs have the best record in the OUAA (2 I = I =I), that doesn’t mean anything in the playoffs, and I feel that the winner ofthe Waterloo=Laurier series will take the whole division.

And I’m sure that everybody at Waterloo would love to see Laurier and Western have to twist up like pretzels to kiss their own butts goodbye.

ors were in this division they’d be in first. My prediction is that whoever wins the Far West will take the entire OUAA West Simple as that.

Chances are that the winner of this division will be the Brock Badgers (I I = I2- I), who stand in first at the time of this writing, and will face the winner of a Laurentian Voyageur (IOI4=O)=York Yeomen (8-I S- I) matchup, which will likely be won by Laurentian.

Laurentian could upset Brock, and this is hoped for by Waterloo, since the Warriors have beaten the Voyageurs both times this season, while they have lost to the Badgers.

Mid East Mid West Who really cares about these guys?

Every team has a worse record than Waterloo, meaning that if the Warri-

This division is an example of why Guelph was so eager for realignment.

to go home.

This is not to negate the contributions of other players, as every player will need to play smart hockey, and the defence will need to throw some Golden Hawks to the ice and fire the puck up quickly to establish a strong transition game and catch the Laurier defence napping.

Also necessary will be another strong showing by the Warriors’ Sultan of Saves, “Gentleman” lames Organ. When Organ is hotter than a threedollar pistol, absolutely nothing gets by him, and he will need to use all his tricks in this game.

It’s a middfe-of-the-week game, and there will be plenty of time to go to the Bomber after, and most importanly it’s reading week, so there’s no excuse not to go to this one. Yes, I’ll admit it, the team needs your support!

a strong game by the Warriors, and it’s over for nationally ranked Laurier.

Waterloo has nothing to lose in this game, as they were not expected to do as well as they have in this rebuilding season, and this leaves the Warriors loose and ready to play.

Look for big games from Waterloo forwards Jason “Swervyn” Mervyn, Steve “Heart and Soul” Smith, assistant captain Greg Allen, and Sheldon “Cookie” Gilchrist.

If these boys are hot, then Laurier better start packing

I- Camn

Far East Due to realignment, nobody in the Far West has played any of these guys, in what has to be the toughest division in the OUAA, so we don’t really know a lot about them.

The UQTR tes Patriotes, the traditional power of the eastern half of the OUAA, travels to Ottawa to play the Gee Geas in the last game of the season for both teams tomorrow night. That game should decide home ice and the firstground bye, since the teams have identical I 5-S-2 records with two games

remaining.

The third playoff spot is coming down to the last weekend as well, since the Concordia Stingers (I 4=7- I) lead the McGill Redmen (I 3-9-O) by three points with two games left for both teams, including a head-to-header on Saturday as well.

Whoever finishes out of the playoffs in this division has a legitimate gripe. The last-place team here will have at least twice as many points as the second-place team in the Mid East, and close to three-times as many points as the third-place team. Not really fair, but that happens in all sports at all levels.

pitiful record. The Toronto Varsity Blues (5-I 6=3}, the Queen’s Golden Gaels (5= I8= I), and the RMC Redmen (2-22-o) are the patsies of the league this year, and Guelph will have no problems taking the show in the Mid East. Their opponent will likely be Toronto, but it doesn’t matter.

Guelph will win.

Warriors need win at Guelph tomorrow for chance at home playoff game

by Peter Brown hprin t spurts Western may have been without the division’s leading scorer, but a 269 point win over a nationally ranked team is still something to behold.

That’s right, the surging Warrior basketball team thrashed the Mustangs 95-69 at the PAC on Wednesday night to improve their record to 7-6.

Tomorrow in Guelph, the Gryphons will try to avenge Waterloo’s 8379 win two weeks ago (the game will be televised by CHCH channel I I at 2 p*m., but tape it and come out to the OUAA West volleyball final at the PAC and cheer the Black Plague along to a national championship berth!).

In other action last weekend, the McMaster Marauders extended their winning streak to ten with a 78-53 pounding of the Brock Badgers, who drop to 4-5.

The Lakehead Nor’westers (6-5) split their two-gamer with the Windsor Lancers (2-8), while the Guelph Gryphons upset the nationally tenthranked Western Mustangs 8 l-76 in overtime.

Waterloo can still finish as high as third in the division, which would give them a home playoff game. All they need is one win and they’re in the Wild West Shootout at Hamilton’s Copps Coliseum on March 5 and 6.

Against Western, the Warriors sprinted to a 22-8 lead in the first six minutes. The ‘Stangs called a damagecontrol timeout after a Sean VanKoughnett trey extended UW’s lead to 36-17. UWO came out of the timeout hot, scoring IO straight points.

On two straight UWO possessions, he swatted away John Vermeeren shots to feed Waterloo’s fast break 8.1. York scored six straight to put the nail in the coffin.

“The key to Mark’s success was his positioning,” said UW head coach Tom Kieswetter.

“We played with intensity. That’s the way we’ll have to play from here on in.”

Balfe and Hopkins scored I6 and 14 respectively and both fouled out.

“Both our five-men fouled out That shows the intensity with which they were playing,” said UW head coach Tom Kieswetter.

“We had ten fouls to use and we used them all.”

Kieswetterwas quick to point out that Mike Lynch did not play for the ‘Stangs and that Western has all but sewn up a first-round bye.

The Warriors survived a scare last Saturday in Wilfrid Laurier’s gym as they barely overcame the winless Golden Ha&s 80-77.

The Hawks led 74-69 with 3: I5 to play, but a pair of Tom Balfe buckets and a Chris Moore free throw tied the game a minute later.

From there, it was a parade to the charity stripe with Sean VanKoughnett, Alex Urosevic, and B. j. York each nailing two.

WLU’s Shawn Roach could have tied the game from the free throw line with 38.6 seconds remaining, but missed both of his attempts.

Five Athenas from Varsity

Swim

Team

The Athenas had a very successful weekend in Cuetph qualifying five swimmers for the CIAU championships in Victoria, B.C.this coming March 11-13.

Starting the qualifying off was Jennifer Beatty in the heats of the 200 breaststroke.

Beatty had been swimming times that had been close all season and finally made the breakthrough that showed the other Athenas that the time standards were very achievable.

Tereza Macel, another of the Athenat who had flirted with qualifying in season, put a set of very consistent splits together in the 800 free and qualified (along with scoring the first points at the meet for the Athenas) placing sixth.

The remaining qualifiers would have to wait for the evening finals to put in the performances that would determine their chances of competing at the national championships.

The first event of the evening was the 4-byI 00 medley relay. The “x” relay of H lywka, Beatty, Williams, and Stephenson had some excellent splits and placed 13th.

Being rested, by not swimming on the relays prior to their 200 free final,Jarvis and Mace1 were ready to challenge the competition and achieve ClAU qualifying times.

Jarvis swam a time of 2:1 1.62 and Macel 2: 13.49, both times faster than the heat swims.

Macel, having qualified for the 800 in the morning seemed to still have some fatigue from that effort and missed the CIAU cut Jarvis however became the third Athena to qualify. This is the second year that Jarvis has qualified; her experience and confidence to qualify was apparent before the race.

The next race was the consolation final for the 200 back. In the heats it had taken a time within a second of the qualifying time to make the top I6 so it was hoped that the closeness of the competition would assist Hlywka to become the fourth Athena to qualify.

Not only did Hlywka meet the challenge by moving up and placing 12th she swam a time of

headed

2:28.66 that was well under the time standard.

The Athenas now had a relay squad to compete with at the championships, something that they have not had for a number of years.

The next event was the 50 breaststroke and, despite the fact that three Athenas had reached the cgnsolation final and would therefore score points at the conference meet, this event is not one that allows them to meet a time standard to qualify for the ClAUs. The placings of I Oth, I Ith, and 12th by Rice, Beatty, and Williams were fast but the next qualifier would have to wait for another event The next event was the IO0 fly and Jarvis was up again in the consolation final and swam to a tenth place finish with a time of I :07.70. Following in the next event was another performance by Hlywka in the 200 intermediate medley with 13th place.

The Athenas then saw the depth of the squad as four of the eight competitors who stepped up for the consolation final of the 200 breaststroke were Athenas.

As the competitors started the race it was not readily apparent that we were about to see the fifth Athena quali+ as Kara Rice and Beatty started out swimming very controlled while some of the other racers went out very hardThe error of the other competitors ways and strengths of the Athenas to finish strong, showed as the last half of the race saw Rice and Beatty catch and pass the other swimmers finishing ninth and tenth respectively.

Rice swam a time of 248.14, which was under the standard and made her the fifth Athena to earn a trip to the ClAUs in Victoria. Athenas Williams and Stephenson also swam well finishing 15th and 16th.

The first evening ended with the 4-by-200 free relay.

The team of Hlywka, Jarvis, Macel, and Stephenson proceeded to put some fine splits together to finish eighth while the team of Guerriero, Beatty, Rice, and Anderson finished 19th. Waterloo ended the day in fifth position with five qualifiers.

World

Cup soccer

by David Benning Warrior soccer coach Only in North America is the game being played in World Cup ‘94 called soccer.

Throughout the world, the game of soccer is better known as football, the true game offootball.

It is the only game that uses the feet predominately and where the use of the hand is prohibited. when the world’s top soccer nations invade the U.S.A. this summer, will they help to push soccer into the front line of American sports alongside baseball, basketball, and football?

There seems to be no doubt that World Cup ‘94 will be a financial success! The predictions, based on facts and figures of the Olympic Soccer tournament held in Los Angeles in 1984 and an economic impact summary, forecast spending in excess of $4 billion in the United States. If the Soccer Federation could absorb just one per cent of that along with the income from the actual tournament, what a shot in the arm it would be to the new professional league.

What will be the future media success of the game itself? Will soccer be covered more just because of the fact that the world’s most popular game will be played in nine different cities in the U.S. by 24 worldwide teams? These are teams who started competing two years ago and have come through qualifying matches that started with I4 I nations playing for the right to compete in World Cup ‘94.

More than 500 qualifying matches will have been played in FIFA’s six world zones, when the kickoff ofthe first World Cup ‘94game takes place in Chicago on July I7 between defending champions Germany and strong dark horse Bolivia.

Is the media coverage during the World Cup going to be enough to mature the newest sport in North America but one of the oldest and most popular

of 2z29.50.

In the relay event the 4-by-100 freestyle relay the team proved their strengths at working together. The Waterloo “A” relay team was 12th with a time of 4: 16.75.

Overall, this was a very successful meet for the women’s swim team. The season’s best swims and personal best times were achieved in 39 of the teams total 42 swims.

The team is considerably stronger this year than last year when we had two swimmers qualify for ClAU championships.

This year there are five.

We look forward to similar achievements by the men’s team which will be in Toronto for the OUAA championships this weekend,

in the world?

It would be easy for me to say yes, of course -- the televised coverage will be watched by over three billion people around the world, including those countries that need no introduction to soccer.

These are countries who can watch televised soccer every night like we watch the news. In these places soccer began many years ago, and in most cases, religion and politics come second and third to it. Soccer is the national sport for these countries and the media capture IO0 per cent of the sport viewers North America needs continuing soccer media coverage after the World Cup to capture the continuing North American spectator interest The U.S. is a late bloomer when it comes to soccer and is one of the last countries in the world yet to take soccer on board as a major media sport.

With World Cup ‘94 just around the corner,

Athletes

the soccer establishment and soccer enthusiasts who have worked so hard to bring soccer to America are optimistic that this event will be the beginning of soccer as a major media sport Soccer in North America needs media coverage in order to survive, the same coverage that Canadian and American now-favoured sports receive and the same coverage that other countries give soccer.

Japan, another late soccer bloomer, where the sporting interest has been sumo wrestling, has just this past year established a professional soccer league. Almost instant extensive national media coverage was established. Crowds of up to 60,000 are already watching the games.

If you have never seen a major soccer event, World Cup ‘94 will be a utopia. You will immediately have feelings of arousal as you mtch your country’s best players representing you on the world stage that has no parallel in spot-~ -- the anticipation, enthusiasm and excitement before the game, the trials, tribulations and thrills throughout the game, the elation or deflation and tears shed in joy or in sorrow.

The power of the media and World Cup ‘94 competition in America will have an enormous effect on the future of soccer and its advancement to a maturity level equal to baseball, football, and basketball. Media power has been the vital transfusion of the popularity of well-established sports that have experienced tough times through lack of financial resources and/or sponsorships.

Baseball, basketball, and football have not always been as popular as today. They also had to mature and survive. The introduction of cable and satellite television, which has given worldwide network coverage to soccer, has given companies the opportunity to advertise and has had the effect of placing many dollars in the pocket of North American sports.

A strong performance by the U.S. in World Cup ‘94 will ceminly be a boost to the proposed North American professional league in 1995.

The acceptance of the game as a valid promotional vehicle, along with the involvement of large corporations sponsors and setting aside money earned from the World Cup agreed upon by the WSSF and FlFA will make this viable! ft will be a testimony to the tenacity of the soccer enthusiasts and administrators who have kept the game alive while competing with the other already well-established, major sports. The lasting power, however, will come from the love of the game by those who play and watch.

meet Canadian rivals the University of Western Ontario, hosting school Cornell, other U.S. schools such as Penn State, University of Pennsylvania and other worthy American opponents.

Arriving late Friday evening left the team groping for some necessary sleep, before the first event to run at I I :OOam the following morning.

Saturday morning came and so did Cornell University which was intimidating in size and grandeur.

The field house containing the track and field facilities is located in a refurbished early 20th century aircraft hanger.

Daunting in size and appearance, the Athenas and Warriors entered with hopes of fast times, tong and high jumps and even further throws than previously accomplished in the season. These thoughts and hopes soon became a reality.

The day was started with Alicia Steele’s performance in the 55 meter hurdle trials.

Steele easily swept, her heat for a spot in the finals. In the finals Steele placed a solid third place and ran an excellent time of 8.75 seconds.

Brent Forrest and Brad Bruce were the Warrior hurdlers of the day who both put in a great performances, Forrest running a personal best of 8. I2 seconds.

Next was the qualifying trials for the men’s and women’s 55 metre dash.

A crew of Athenas and Warriors competed in the race. Most notably was the performances by, Gerald Kirk who ran a personal best of 6.75 seconds, smashing the previous record of 6.79 seconds set by Simon Foote in 1992.

Mike Mallot also ran a personal best of 6.96 seconds followed by strong performances

by Brad Bruce, Maurice Wilson and Taly Wi IIiams.

The Athena’s also had an impressive showing with two personal bests run by Teresa Kindree of 7.6 seconds and Ann Kjerulf at 7.99 seconds. The women’s team was rounded out with strong performances by Tiffiny Kanitz and April Crosse.

Next on the track was the mens and women’s mile runs. The Athena team (known as the fearsome foursome) consistingof Sarah Brown,judith Leroy, Sarah Thompson and Cheryl Turner put on an outstanding show. A race dominated by the Waterloo team found Brown in the lead for the majority of the race followed closely by Leroy and strong performances by both Thompson and Turner. Brown who is quickly becoming the Gregoire of the female set in UW Track and Field, smoked the field with a first p&e finish and an outstanding time of 5:02:00 (almost a 20second personal best). This performance

by Thompson was also a new UW record for the I OOOm smashing the previous record of 5:05:0 by Lana Marjarna in 1983 by a full 3 seconds. Leroy and Thompson also ran personal bests placing second and 5th to Brown respectively.

Walking

Off the track the men’s shot put was well on it’s way. Paul Serafini who is a rookie putter on the UW team put in a great effort, Serafini put 12.2 metres which was a personal best and is a sure sign of hard work and sweat beginning to pay off.

Also in the field, UW jumps coach Gary Wilson was egging on his contingent of athletes who simply can not keep their feet on the ground.

Karl Zabjek and Jeff Miller led the field of athletes to some impressive results.

Both have already qualified for CIAU’s in their respective events but were impressive none the less.

Zabjek jumped 2.02 metres in the highjump.

For those of you who can’t visualize 2.02 metres, it’s like jumping over a six foot person plus. Other notables in the field were, April Crosse in the long jump and triple jump (with a pb of IO.50 metres in the triple) and Teresa Kindree in the long jump with a personal best of 4.72 metres. In the men’s events Brad Bruce gave a good effort in the long jump followed up by Taly (Mr. Versatility) Williams also in the long jump and triple jump with a personal best of 6.32 metres in the long. Miller finished off the day with a winning polevault of 4.8 I metres which is an new school record.

Back on the track the men’s mile run was on the way with a lonely Mike Ready for UW. Ready ran a fast and gutsy race for his first in this excruciating event.

Next were the men’s 400 metre races. These gruelling sprints were run

by Brent Forrest, Andrew Welburn and Kregg Fordyce. All three put in a strong performance, however, Forrest led the way with a third place finish and a strong time of 50.8 seconds, a new personal best. The Athenas were led

by Cindy O’Carrol who personal bested with a time of I :03:08, followed by another personal best by Val Lingard and a strong effort by April Harper.

The 800 metre races were run by Athenas Cindy O’Carrol, Cheryl Turner (pb of 23 I:OI) and Warrior Mike Ready. It was Ready’s second race of the day and a hard one at that.

The field was fast but Ready was strong and gave a personal best performance yet again in a time of 2:03:3.

One of the most exciting events of the day was the awesome IOOOm. Running for our Athena’s was Cheryl Turner again who put in an excellent race. In the Warrior’s race was a triple UW entry of Jason Gregoire, Jim Mylet and T.J. Mackenzie.

The three ran a superb race with three personal bests and a first and second finish from Gregoire and Mackenzie respectively.

It was an entertaining race as well.

On the second lap a runner fell causing Gregoire to slow down and Mackenzie to feel guilty (only in retrospect) for tripping the guy. It was not long though before Gregoire made his move pulling ahead of the pack. The ever tough Mackenzie put up a good fight and held Gregoire as they made the rest of the pack a past tense.

It looked like Mackenzie could catch Gregoire in the final 60 metres. However, as said before, “no one smokes

as a way Campus

You may have noticed an increased numberof peoplewalkingaround, looking like they have a purpose other than getting to class on time.

This is a new trend that is going around during a time when everyone is concerned about their health, but want to avoid injuries from high-impact activities.

Our bodies were designed towalk, and that is why it is such a great idea to take up. Walking is easy and safe, but has the same benefits of other aerobic activities. You don’t have to exert energy that you don’t have right away, you don’t have to make the trip to the gym, and best of all, it costs absolutely nothing!

The walking stride involves more muscles than running, so you can improve muscle tone, including the abdominals, thighs, buttock, calves, arms, chest, and back. Walking also strengthens the heart’s efficiency, meaning you get a lower pulse rate in the long run, and expands the lung volume, so your body has a greater amount of

to exercise

oxygen available for circulation. Walking also slows the aging process!

The way to get the most out of your walking workout is to walk as though you are walking into the wind.

Lean forward slightly and walk with a purposeful stride. Pump your arms and legs together. To walk faster, swing your arms in front of your chest Walk tall, and push off with each step. Take a breath for every left leg stride.

One great thing about walking is that you can fit it into any schedule.

Start out walking slowly, for shot-t periods of time. You can see benefits from working out three times a day for as little as ten minutes at a time.

Participaction recommends walking between 25 minutes and an hour per day. You can wal kto work, to school, to discover nature, to walk the dog, or with a friend, Walking allows you to work of tension and to think and relax.

Walking is qualified as a lowstrength, low-flexibility, high-aerobic and

the Gregoirian Warrior’land he steamed through to a personai best of 3:29:6, just a few one hundredths shy of the CIAU standard.

The last individual event of the day for our Athenas and Warriors was the 200m sprints. For the Athenas Tiffany Kanitz led the field with a fast 26.8 second run followed with a personal best run by Val Lingard. Teresa Kindree ran a fast 200m of 27.4seconds followed by Ann Kjerulf with yet another strong run, Alicia Steele and April Harper also put in great performances.

The Warrior sprinters were dominant in numbers in the men’s 200m race.

Nine men raced and Brent Forrest headed the field again with a time of 22.98 seconds.

The rest of the runners put in great races although Karl Zabjek was the only one with a personal best Finally, the relays. The 4 by 800 metre relay found only the Athenas with a team entered. They ran a strong race with a final time of 9:4 I :O, a team personal best Both Sarah Thompson and Cindy O’Carrol ran personal best split times in the race. The men’s team sacrificed the 4 by 800 metre due to the fact that two of the runners were needed in the men’s 4 by 400metre race directly after.

In the 4 by 400’s UW had two teams entered. In the first heat was the team consisting of Forrest, Welburn, Mackenzie and Fordyce. The race was off to an electric stirtas one competing team dropped out due to a blown hamstring and a second team fell on the second corner.

The carnage on the track did not phase the Warriors though.

Everyone ran tough pushing through a team personal best of 3:26:6, (a mere second off CIAU standard).

The combination of people falling and poor exchanges resulted in missing standard but next week in Michigan the cards may fall differently. The following heat with the second UW team in it finished up the day nicely. With Brad Bruce, Mike Ready, Jim Mylet and Gregoire anchoring, the team ran well.

Especially since three quarters of the team are UW X-country runners specializing in 3000metres and above races and the last quarter of the team consisted of Bruce, a 60 metre hurdler.

The Cornell meet was an experience for the whole team and a much looked forward to competition for next year. The team would like to thank Trainer Kevin Blake and Chris for managing and keeping the team on it’s feet over the weekend.

Special thanks must also be,given to coaches John Swarbick and Gary Wilson for the excellent leadership and sense of responsibility they exhibited when snags were met Their time and commitment tom UW Track and Field is greatly appreciated.

The team had a new meet record of 28 personal best performances in Cornell, which puts this seasons standings close to that accomplished by seasons end last year. The team is looking forward to the Eastern Michigan meet this weekend and hopes to bring home more great performances.

Finally, thanks to Lyle!

Teenage Fanclub wl Yo La Tengo Lee’s Mace February i3th, 1994

by Saniiy Atwal Imprint stan

-

I must selfishly admit that I’m sort of glad Teenage Fanclub’s latest album Thirteen didn’t do as welt as either A Catholic Educution or &Indwagonesque.

Had it followed the commercial success they enjoyed previously, they’d have played a larger venue, sacrificing the intimacy that Lee’s Palace provides which is so pedect for this band.

Teenage Fanclub are like friends of friends - about as far away from the level of pop iconogaphy that too many bands enjoy. Their music has captured the effervescence of Big Star to which they aspire, yet they’ve managed to carve out a comfortable niche in which they can explore their own musical drives.

Yo La Tengo’s set was erratic, almost to the point of being unfocused, but they did manage to putt it together before the whole thing broke apart.

That said, the band did have more than their share of highlights. “From a motel 6” as well as “Nowhere Near” were both energetically performed. it would have been preferable if the trio (which constantly exchanged instruments) had stuck to either ear-bieeding feedback or their softer numbers, their mix was a little disorienting, but always surprising and entertaining.

In contrast, Teenage Fanclub were

pretty much the same throughout their set, but they played with such a level of general funness that it was thoroughly

enjoyable. Their ironic introduction to their songs and their response to a call for “Everybody’s Fool” (“Then

house they shouldn’t have eaten so much.“) was silty- but, hey, that’s what rawk’n’roil’s ail about.

Another benefit of the poor(er) sates of Thirteen was that the band focused a little more on their older material than they might have. “Star Sign”, “God Knows”, “The Concept*‘and “What You Do to Me” all made appearances, as welt as their contribution to the NME’s RubyTrax,the Byrds’ version of Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” (that is to say, the four minute version, not the eight minute one.)

They ended their show with a tribute to “Sir” Alex Chiiton - Big Star’s “I’m Free” which was again perfectly suited to the band’s sparkling pop.

I must close with a thank you to the asshoies in front of me who expressed their appreciation by spilling beer on their heads and dancing around enough to anyone inconvenience within ten feet of them.

It’s guys like you that make these shows all the more enjoyable, and I hope Tomiinson you made it home safe, like wihout getting run over or getting sl lot or something.

Short Cuts Robert Altman

&

A loose collection of Raymond Carver short stories, Robert Altman’s latest film sort Cuts revolves around the agonies of everyday American life. Let’s see what our studio audience has to say about the film.

Pete says: Wilkommen in Amerika. The ground temperawre is 75 degrees, and the local time is 6:00 a.m.. As a prescription for the American slice of life, we advise all passengers to go fishing with your buddies and find a dead body.

even if you do get those spooky Virginia Woolflike vibes.

Ken says: The book is always better than the movie - but in this case there really isn’t a book just an amalgam of stories so the comparison immediately becomes moot. As a movie, Short Cuts is long and convoluted, leaving me drained and not entirely satiated. As stories, Short Cuts are poignant and disturbing. Without the benefit of Carver’s extraordinary source material, however, Altman would have fallen flat, would’ve left us with a deflated and flawed movie - both void of worth and tiresome.

To his credit, then, Altman chose the right author and stories to make this film with. Unfortunately for him, however, his creation rests entirely on Carvers imagination, leaving any of his directorial skills greatly diminished. Which is too

Add a dash of gloom, demonstrate that the bad guys win, and that cynicism and morosity is the superior human emotion, and you’ve just turned a group of Raymond Carver short stories into a great film called Short Cuts. And if it’s not Altman, it’s crap,

~~b~%,~~ highly emotional movie.

As it runs, however, job Altman loses out and so does the film.

As a comment on America’s life and its future, Short Cuts is as biting as it is honest and embracing of America. From drunkards to perverts to angst-ridden losers to young innocents, Short Cuts provides Americans in all shapes and sizes, giving us a taste of the mundane and bizarre simultaneously.

Short Cutsis just that., short slices of life. If you want to experience life from a different angle every fifteen minutes, then see this film. If, however, you prefer sol id, dependable and undeteringly fluid films, then the soap opera flip flop of Short Cuts is not the place to look.

As cinema - not so good. As art - wonderful.

This is supposed to be the final tour for Concrete Blonde. They have announced their breakup for the end of this tour supporting their last ever release Mexicun Moc~n. Concrete Blonde has put out some great music and I thought that this would be a fine show.

Frankly, after this horrendous show I realized that the world will be much better off without them. Farewell and good riddance.

As Concrete Blonde tookthe stage two lava lamps sat on top of the speakers glowing in the darkness. I took this as a good indication of what we of show it would be. With tons of slow, mellow numbers in their back catalogue

and a great new album under their belt I expected this to be one trippy show.

After crashing and banging through the opening number of the night I realized that this was not going to the moody laid back show that I expected. Concrete Blonde sounded more like a punk band hell bent on destruction as they screamed through their second song of the night “Bloodletting”.

This was notthe sound that I recognized from their recorded material. Perhaps it was because the sweet vocals had been replaced by shouting and yelling that caused by ears to shun the sounds emanating from the stage like nails down a chalkboard. The songs no longer held They fell apart on their mystique. stage into lousy rock and roll songsSomeone needs to tell Concrete Blonde that louder is not necessarily better.

a compila-

The new album was recorded in Toronto, between January and June of 1993. The band decided to stay with their producer from the first album, Arnold Lanni. According to Wild ‘T’, Lanni has “a good sense of melody and structure and it helps keep my songs focused.”

“Givin Blood” contains ten songs, both new material and old. The album’s lead off tmck “I’m a River” was written before the first album was recorded.

The album’s one ballad, “Loveland”, was planned as an instrumental, but lyrics were written just prior to recording and now the track is said to be one of the al bum’s highlights.

There is a video from the album, for the first single, “Freedom Train.”

“It Ain’t Where You’re From” is a song whose title describes this band most aptly. Despite their diverse origins, Wild ‘T’ and the Spirit are definitelyan upand=coming band who have managed to pull together and produce some powerhouse rock and roll.

“With Naz we got that too”, says 7’.

Wild ‘T’ has had a distinguished career already- In I982 he was named “Best Guitarist” by the Canadian Black Musician’s Association. He has toured with Carole Pope and Rough Trade and has been nominated as “Best Blues Guitarist” at the Toronto Music Awards.

In 1990, it all started to come together. Wild ‘T’ and the Spirit were finalists in Q t 07’s homegrown contest, and in I991 their debut album, “Love Crazy”, was released. The album gave the hits “Love Crazy” and “Midnight Blues”, which were accompanied by videos that received airplay on Much Music. Over the next year, Wild ‘T’ and the Spirit toured constantly, building a reputation as a tremendous live act. Wild ‘T’ and the Spirit were connecting with their audiences. “I try to project out to them and feel the& myself.” says Wild ‘T’ of his audience.

Veteran rockers Wild ‘T’ and the Spirit are coming to town, hot on the heels of the release of their second album, Gin Blood.

Wild ‘T’ (Tony Springer) is a wellrenowned guitar player who has attracted praise from the likes of such greats as David Bowie, who invited Wild ‘T’ to play with him on stage on the Tonight Show, The Arsenio Hall show and the David Letterman show, and Jeff Healey, who is lavish in his praise- “He (Wild 7’) has endless imagination...like nothing I’ve ever heard before.”

The group, which consists of Trinidadian Springer, Canadian-born Danny Bilan and South African Nazeem Lakay originated in 1988, when Bilan met Wild ‘T’ at a jam session. After playing with several different bass players, both members agreed that what they needed was a bassist who was a

They were unprepared to have to play 2 full sets but they reached into their bag o’ songs and pulled out a bunch of covers to fill one set, the other set consisted of their own material.

They pulled it off in style though. The band seemed to enjoy themselves and the indulgent crowd listened intently.

Even for those sitting in the back it was way too loud. New tunes “Heal It Up” and “Jenny I Read” were just horrible. Maybe I could have handled the loud music if the music didn’t sound like such crap.

I actually wanted to like this show but it was an impossibility. This night Concrete Blonde just plain sucked. A speed metal version of the normally slower number “Joey” didn’t help matters. Concrete Blonde romped through loud and boorish numbers “Someday”, “Ghost Of A Texas Ladies Man” and “God Is A Bullet”.

Poor choices of cover tunes included thrash versions of both “Shout” by Tear for Fears and “Respect Yourself’.

A bearable version of the Hendrix song “Castles Made Of Sand” did not even salvage the night. Altogether the night sucked.

Even the opening band Oblivious was better.

A perfect post-album release. Condemn&on is a seven track compilation including three live tracks The remixes are “Condemnation, Paris mix”, “Rush, Spiritual Guidance mix”, *‘Death’s door, Jazz Mix”, “Rush, Nitrate mix” All of these remixes are rather funky, both Rush remixes are danceable, and the Nitrate mix is a Techno version.

It is encouraging, that Depeche Mode is still recording their almost traditional sound, for their albums and leaving the remixing and distortion in some cases for the singles and EPs. This enables the band to keep a wide support base, while also touching on current trends without selling out to what I call the pop machine.

The live tracks are; “Halo”, “Condemnation”, and “Enjoy The Silence”.

As with all of Depeche Modes live releases, these tracks bring back vivid and I suppose in most cases, fond memories of their shows.

Overall, I would say that this EP is worth a trip to the market for, and that the average Dep. Mode junkie will not be disappointed.

Another Jimi Hendrix collection you ask? Not quite, this album is by other artists covering Hendrix’s material. The intent of this album is to showcase the various genres of music that Hendrix has had an influence on mainly everything.

Just have a look at the lineup here. Where else would you find Slash, The Cure, P.M. Dawn and Eric Clapton together?

The songs on this album were performed by the individual artists in their style of music.

Therefore we have Body Count experimenting with fusion on “Hey Joe”, Nigel Kennedy doing an instrumental version of “Fire”, M.A.C.C. (members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam - or Temple Of The Dog) offer their brand of Seattle kick-ass rock and roll in the form of “Hey Baby (Land Of The New Rising Sun)” and Buddy Guy does the blues on “Red House”.

The duo of Seal and Jeff Beck play a version of “Manic Depression” which sounds hauntingly familiar to the original. The Cure’s version of “Purple Haze” is lacking but that’s just a personal bias I have against The Cure.

I would have loved to have seen “Little Wing”

by Stevie Ray Vaughn represented here.

If you’re a Jimi Hendrix fan and enjoy the different forms of music available today then pick this one up as it’s a combination of both.

Something really strikes me whenever Bad Religion comes out with a new album. If Bobby Schayer wasn’t their drummer, they just wouldn’t be the same band. Ever since the beginning, the drums on every album follow the same recipe of simple hard-core style drumming.

As a non-fan described it: it’s like a march, one that gets faster as it goes on.

Regardless of the rhythm section, this is a solid Bad Religion album, and the harmonies that Greg Gafin orchestrates are as good as ever. Something that surprised the hell out of me when I read the credits on the album: some backing vocals are done by a guy named Eddie,

and there is only one such name in the thank-you’s: Eddie Vedder, frontman of Pearl Jam. Hmmmm.,.

Fans of Bad Religion don’t really expect anything wildly different, however, so the similar sounds of Generator and other previous albums aren’t really that much of a disappointment to people that already know the band.

The best harmonies of the album, if the most repetitive, occur in the second song, “Kerosene”.

There’s something really catchy about Greg Gaffin’s voice, and he uses this attribute very well.

The two most novel songs on the album are “Man With a Mission”, which has the interesting addition of slide guitar courtesy of Greg Leisz, and “All Good 1 Soldiers”, which

reallyI cool guitar and bass and, believe it or not, some different rhythms.

Marvelous.

This album is definitely worthwhile for current fans of Bad Religion, but if you didn’t like their previous stuff, it’s not very likely that this will suit your tastes.

But if not, hey loosen up.

New York’s Biohazard have released a new album for the end of 1993.

The videos for “Punishment” and “Shades of Grey” have been in relatively high rotation on MuchMusic’s Power 30: witness a seething human mosh pit, really scary guys full of tattoos, and very loud, loud, LOUD!!!

Biohazard is the ultimate urban angst group, and this is reflected in absolutely every song.

Long, heavy intros are followed by throaty roaring voices that become somewhat tiresome when heard over and over again, because each and every song has the same general mood: heavy, slamming, yelling choruses, blah blah blah, So why does this album get a 4?

Because, despite being repetitive, it actually does kickass, and delivers angst the only way it should: in your face.

Sirens, long drum intros, hardcore verging on rap, these guys are Sepultura without the Portuguese accents. A particularly good song is “Business”: ” Fuck you and your selfish advice You’ve never been lo$ to the same things twice Who do you work for now, yeah, I see Music’s for you and me Not the fucking industry...

The album’s long, heavy, drawn out, and once again, HEAVY. Often the.lead singer sings with the guitarist, and their voices complement each other quite well, consideringthat too much Lemmystyle singing needs to be broken up by something a little different.

They also do a good job of “We’re Only Gonna Die (From Our Own Arrogance)” by Bad Religion’s Gregory Grafin, which as a fast punchy hardcore song offers the only real variation on an otherwise very solid and consistent album.

Depeche Mode’s Walking in my Shoes CD Bong 22 single contains four tunes. The funny thing about Mode, the kings of singles, is that when they release one they release many different versions of the song on one disc, but you have many other different versions of the song available on other discs, too. Therefore you could bankrupt yourself just buying the different Mode singles for one song.

Well, having said that, sometimes its cool to buy some of these discs to get the B-side and different versions of the single. You just have to know which ones to buy. If you’re gonna buy a Walking in my Shoes E.P, than buy the C.D. Bong 22 version. It’s got a cool “grungy gonads” mix of the songas weI1 as an awesome B-side called “My joy.”

On a completely irrelevant note, the cover looks really good, too.

thought that he faded out never to be heard or seen from again. That was until he showed up on the soundtrack for The Crying Game. lt seems that he has returned from rehab for heroin addiction and is trying to make a comeback. The single “Everything I Own” turns out to be everything he was with Culture Club and more. A fine effort by the boy with braids.

This single has four different versions of the same song which is usually a waste of space. Surprisingly this is not so, with each version taking on an interesting new face. “Everything I Own” is great as a pop song, an acoustic ballad and an extended dance mix but is really best in its original slow reggae dance form. Also included is an extended dance mix of an early Culture Club single “Miss Me Blind.”

It could easily be played Saturday night at any dance club without sounding out of place. If you never liked Culture Club then forget it, you just wouldn’t understand, but if that sound appeals to you then this is a pleasant reacquaintance with an old friend.

If I got a nickel for every shit rap group that whined about the injustices in the world, I’d probably be a wealthy man.

However, I’d hate to do the injustice to Merlin for being placed in this same group. Merlin introduces a brand of hip hop that even those who don’t like the crap, might Ii ke the heavier edge that the guitars, bass and drums add. Merlin plays all the instruments on A Noise Supreme, including piano and saxophone; rather than the sampling and mixing that other rap groups resort to.

The title track is an excellent blend of hrp hop combined with sound lyrics that are delivered with energy and enthusiasm.

“Preacher” blends metal with a back upbeat bass that underlies the hip hop feeling of the album. The song questions those delivering the ‘word of god’ and questions “...why should I read a book that’s 2000 years old?“.

He may have a point.

“The Chainsaw Flowers Hymn”and”Pusher” are heavier tunes, and probably the better ones on the album. “Acid” is a groovier tune that shows Merlin’s global outlook and issues by saying that “...the world’s on Acid.”

Merlin’s A Noise Supreme is pretty good for a hip hop sound and surprisingly you can actually listen to the album all the way through.

I like his approach to the music, and hopefully this may be a trend setting appeal to other hip hop groups to incorporate talented musicianship; possibly we’ll hear A Noise Supreme.

by NichoZas Mew Imprint stag Recently at the Imprint office, a fourth-year engineer came in with a demo tape he had prepared at a local company. It had four of his own songs on it, performed by a friend and him.

Through a mutual friend I had met this lad before, and had heard him play on campus. When he played guitar you’d swear his axe was singing, and when it was blues you could feel the pain.

Needless to say, he had impressed me with his virtuosity.

However, nobody at imprint seemed to have time for him.

All he wanted was to have his cassette listened to, and maybe reviewed.

Before he left, I said I’d do it, but I was surprised to be told that it was an acoustic set.

After listening to the demo tape, I have to say that Tophe shows some major talent in the offing, but he is in need of professional production.

The cassette itself really limits his delivery.

As far as the music goes, “Heidi” is a great opening cut, and CKMS would be wise to play this. Very fast, witty and sung with obvious sincerity. There must be a real girl he’s singing about who won’t leave him alone.

At times, however, Tophe lets his emotive singing go too far, taking away from the compelling simplicit)c of the music, especially in “Cash On Delivery.”

“She Lets Him” and “Sadly Sadly” round out the songs, both being somewhat dark in content and performance.

This privately distributed tape is well worth a listen, and if you get a chance to hear his guitar work live, do it.

Simply amazing. James has done it again. “Laid” is the third major album for this Manchester sextet and by all means a triumph.

James has mixed the tracks on the album to include many upbeat and thundering songs like “Laid”, “Sometimes”, and “Say something”, while also keeping in line with their more subdued front, in songs like “Out to Get You” and “Skindiving.”

This band can truly do it all. So Sit Down (pun intended), throw Laid in the-CD player and marvel at the excellent musicianship and the raw emotion of one of the best bands around.
