Five computer related thefts totalling approximately $ I 0,000 have occurred at the Uniiersity of Waterloo since February, The first reported theft was in the Chemistry building between 3 a.m. and 4 p*m. Three disc drives and a computer case worth about $5000 were stolen from a lab. There was a hydro outage at the same time of the thefS and campus police suspect it may have been related to the incident. Two other thefts were reported on February 20. Thieves forced their way into two separate rooms in Hagey Hall. The thieves pried open locks, heavily damaging them, and made off with two Hewlitt Packertt laser printers worth about $1800 each.

by Gitlian O’H~gan Imprint stafl Muslim and Arab youth ‘of Waterloo staged a peaceful demonstration at UW on Thursday March 9 to protest the massacre of aproximately 30 Palestinians in a Hebron Mosque by an Israeli gunman on February 25 of this year. A group of 50 or so people marched around Ring Road denouncing the massacre of the Palestinian worshippers, who had gathered inside lbrahim Mosque to mark a holiday when an Israeli settler entered the building and went on a shooting rampage.

The UW protestors waved the Palestinian flag and held signs reading, “Disarm lsraeii Settlers!” and “No justice. 1 No Peace!“, while

chanting

slogans such as “How

Much Killing is Enough?” and “Stop the Killing! Stop the Massacre!” At the end of the police escorted parade, the group formed a rally in the PAC parking lot where UW Electrical Engineering professor M.I. Elmasry urged students to pressure the Canadian government into action to promote peace in the occupied territory. “You don’t need a degree in computer science to differentiate between the victims and the oppressors...We have to disarm the

settlers” said Elmasry. A statement from Muslims of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier Universities, written by Elmasry, in part read “the incident in Hebron is merely the latest and worse in a series of Israeli violence against the unarmed Arab communities of the Occupied Territory.” One participant of the demonstrzltion approached an onlooker wearing a yarmulke and invited him to join in the group. The onlooker politely declined. At the end of the demonstration the group was encouraged to participate in another rally held in Toronto on March 12.

That project involved building IO houses in a week of co-operative effort by over 400 volunteers from various groups in the community. Over 25 000 houses have been built or renovated worldwide by HFH International. Habitat for Humanity at the University of Waterloo is a student organisation working in the local community and contributes effort and funds to projects run by Habitat affilitates. Funds raised by this benefit will be used towards regional and worldwide efforts, by HFH. Habitat ffor Humanity is also working towards the establishment of an HFH affiliate in Jamaica. HFH at UW is a young organisation and is set to be the first campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity in Canada. Presently there are over 400 Campus Chapters in the United States.

UWwins computer contest Imprint

News

Last year, UW had placed seventh, and winning first was a very pleasant surpirse, feels Ian Goldberg.

Three UW students have placed the university on the map of the world of computers.

There were eight complex probe lems posed to all contestants and the UW team was able to answer six in under six hours. No other team was able to answer six questions.

Last week, Ian Goldberg, Seiji Ando, and Ka-Ping Yee impressed the world by finishing first in the ACM international collegiate programming contestfinals, held in Phoenix,Arizona. The three member team beat out 35 universities, incfuding Harvard, MIT, and Columbia!

The students coach, Jo Ebergen, felt that Uvv’s win was a great accomplishment for all those involved, and the victory will reflect positively on the university’s reputation in the international computer field.

The University of New Zealand team placed second, despite having been ahead for most of the competition.

Brock causes controversy

through Marlin Travel prior to March 31, 199 Contact us for further details:

The three students, surprisingly, are not all computer science students, except for Green berg. Ando is in fourthyear mathematics, while Yee is a firstyear engineering student. Goldberg is also the president of the UW computer science club.

by Steve Kannon special to Xmpfint A fall implementation is still expetted for Brock University’s controversial plan to admit additional students to its teaching program at a fee of $10,000 per person, despite warnings of funding cutbacks from the province. Brock’s board of trustees lastweek approved a pfan to increase enrolment in its one-year graduate bachelor of education program, which currently accepts 350 applicants each year. The plan would add 50 new spots, with students footing the bill for the full cost of the program -- $10,000 -- instead of the regular tuition fee of about $2,300. Queen’s Park reacted immediately to the announcement, threatening to reduce funding to the university by an amount equivalentto the monies raised. The warning has not altered the board’s intention, however, said Grant Dobson, Brock’s executive director of external relations, He stated in a telephone interview this week that the administration believes it is within its rights to proceed without facing any financial penalty. “The board’s approval is not contingent on the government’s [reaction],” he said. “We’re eager, however, to continue discussion with the prove ince.”

fee

Reductions in government funding to Brock are partly responsible, in fact, for the proposal, argued Dobson. Cutbacks --the university received $3 million less this year than last year have forced the administration to look elsewhere for revenues. The proposal offers a way to increase accessibility to the program and, at the same time, increase revenues, he said. The accessibilityargument hasn’t swayed Brock’s student council, however. “We’re obviously not in favour of the proposal,” said student council president Mike Zywicki. “This really flies in the face of accessibility.” A two-tiered system will be developed under the administration’s proposal, a system the council certainly can’t support, he said. Even if an exception could be made for the popular education program (some 3,0OCJ-5,000 applications are received each year for 350 spots) there’s no guarantee the model would not be applied to other programs, said ZYwicki. “It would be scary to see this applied elsewhere.” While the decision is being called a pilot project to test public response, Zywicki said he sees very little chance of failure. “It is going to be successful. With so many applicants, there will be 50 people willing to pay.”

TEACHER TRAINING AU% RqLZA L A

This last point is backed up by the administration’s own findings. Initial public response to the announcement has been almost unanimously positive, said Dobson. “People are phoning and asking ‘where do I sign up’.” Many of those whose applications are turned down by Brock are already spending $10,000 or more for equivalent programs at colleges in the United States, he said. These people will now have the option of staying in Ontario. But a spokesperson for the Canadian Federation of Students sees the project as yet another method to offload costs onto students. “All universities face this problem -- doing more with less [funding],” said communications co-ordinator Jocelyn Charron. “But trying to put the burden on students is a bit callous.” Projects such as Brock’s will discourage qualified students, and instead favouring those who can pay, but the issue is only symptomatic of a larger problem, said Charron. The federal government downloads its financial burden on the provinces, who pass it on to the universities, who in turn pass it on to the students, the last link in the chain. The situation is ironic given all the talk lately about training and making education a priority, said Charron. If the government was really concerned about education, it would be providing more funding and increasing accessibility. Government has to make choices about its priorities and commitments. This is especially true given the government’s own bleakforecastsaboutjobsforyoung people. “It sounds really abstract to talk about ‘making choices’, but there is nothing abstract about what students are facing.”

Recycling from

WmRG

Recycle cycle is gaining momenturn, and just in time for the arrival of spring. For those who are unfamiliar, recycle cycle is a WPIRG working group consisting mainly of studentvolunteers, though everyone from the comunity is welcome. Its mandate is to repair donated bicycles that would otherwise be disposed of, and to make these bikes more accessible to the community. A recent grant from Canada Trust has been a big help in gaining momentum for the group. The funding has enabled the purchase of much needed bicycle tools. And to help with the fundraising, Recycle Cycle is having a raffle at the end of the month. Tickets will be on sale in the Campus Centre from tues. march 22 - thurs. march 24, from I I :30am-3:30pm at $ I a piece, or can be purchased at the WPIRG office. The group was very pleased with the generosity of local bike shops and distributers in donating many excellent prizes. (including cycling wear, parts and accessories). Now that they’ve secured space for bicycle storage, the group has been concentrating on setting up and organinzing the workshop. They’ re working out of the

basement of the Arts Council, which is located on Regina St., behind the new parkade in uptown Waterloo. Repair sessions usually take place three times a week, on Friday and Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings. There’s lots of work to be done, because they just had a very successful bike sale for the English School in Waterloo. The students and their families were very pleased with the sale, but unfortunately there weren’t

enough bicyices to meet the demand. So the groupis working to replenish their supply, with the foresight that spring will increase the already high demand. When the shop is ready, the Recycle Cycle hopes to offer its use to the public. In the near future, the group hopes to have one day a week where anyone from the public can come in and work on their bikes in the shop, where there will be an experienced mechanic that can help or offer advice if needed.

Loan Repayment Plan ain’t working by G. Bruce Rdston cuftesy of the Vursity An income-contingent loan pilot program the Ministry of Education announced last summer has had almost no takers, ministry officials admit. “I don’t think it’ll tell us much at all,” said jamie MacKay, a Ministry of Education spokesperson. As of this week, only 23 students had received one of over I50 loans of $ 2,500 each set aside for the three Toronto universities. The program, which was supposed to give out 1,000 loans to students, was meant to test the feasibility of income contingency, which some students and administrators say is the way of the future for student assistance. The pilot program offered $2,500 to any fourthyear student who was not eligible for normal Ontario student assistance loans. But student loan officers at universities across the province did not receive information on the program until November. “I would say the majority of students would have figured out how to finance their education [by November], especially those in fourthyear,“said Karen Takenaka, student aid manager for Ryerson University, which has no students who have received income contingent loans. Unlike regular student loans, income contingent loans collect interest from the day students borrow the money. The difference between IC loans and regular OSAP assistance is that if a student’s income after graduation does not reach a ceratin levet, part or all of the loan is written off. U of T’s financial aid manager, David Sidebottom, also criticized the delay in the start of the program. Sidebottom also said the province

should have expanded those eligible. He had identified only I40 students at U of T who would even qualify for the loans. “The government did themselves in by making the parameters too narrow,” Sidebottom said. “It was only for those who did not qualify for student aid at all.” Both the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance and the Council of Ontario Universities support the idea of income contingency. But spokespersons from both

organizations said the pilot failed because of shortcomings in the ministry’s design of the program,

not because of

inherent flaws with income contingency. “It’s a setback because it will take longer to get any meaningful result, but that’s it,” said OUSA spokesperson Rick Martin. Pat Adams, communications director for COU, agreed. “It was not designed in the first place to be a very meaningful attempt. We need a much broader attempt”

Michael Parkinson, a spokesperson for the event says “We want to shorten the gap between policy and practice by getting a range of different interests together for discussion.

People should be able to do whatever they like, or so some would have us believe. Others would have us believe that people should only be allowed to do certain thing;, and not be alldwed to do everything else. And thus we have the major conflict between individualists and socialists. Individualists believethat individuals should not be restricted in their freedoms as long as what they choose to do does not directly h&m others or inhibit others from doing what they choose to do. Socialists, on the ather hand, believe that the good of everyone should take precedence over the interests of individuals, and so believe that people should only be allowed to do what will not even indirectly harm or inhibit everyone from having their collective way. In politicspeak, then, the NDP would be socialists, believing that the social contract is good because it is for the benefit of all, not the few. On the other end of the spectrum is the Reform Party, who argue that ind’ividual Canadians should not be burdened with the responsibility of supporting all the unemploymed and welfare recipients. They would rather see people be allowed to pursue their own individual interests free of these social restrictions. It was with wonder and surprise, then, that I read of the Reform Party’s plan ;o write a “code 3f conduct” for its Members of Parliament. lfthis does not directly contradict their political prin:iples then I don’t know what would. What the Reformers want their MPs to do s submit to a code of conduct which rails against rlcohol abuse and marriage breakup, arguing :hat MPs must set an example for the rest of the country and not succumb to these evils. Problem is, however, that this is exactly the same rational used by the NDP to instigate both the social contract and the more recent policy against harassment in colleges and universities. The other problem is that they will likely be lauded by the west and their other supporters for setting a prime example of how the country should be run. Self-sacrifice will be hoisted as the new mantra for MPs, and those unfortunate tnough to be drinkers or victims of failed marriages will be deemed unfit to run the country. Indeed, as Reform MP Ian McClelland was quoted by the Canadian Press: “If we can’t nanage our personal lives, how on earth can we nanage the country?” Well, how did Sir John A. MacDonald, well <now alcoholic, manage the country? How did Pierre Trudeau, well known wominiser and failed husband, manage the country? just fine, I’d say. Without either of those eaders would the west (let alone Quebec) still le in Canada? Would the Reform Party exist? It’s doubtable. This is not to say that those Prime Minis~rs were most immaculate and saviours of our :ountry, but how does their alcoholism and/or Sled marriage really impede their ability to run Lcountry? Th& worse part of all this, however, is that he Reformers will undoubtably receive support ‘or their vision of a sober, married Canada, while he NDP is consistently maligned for their vision 3f a fiscally responsible and harassment free Canada. They are both talking about the same thing restricting the freedoms of individuals over the nterests of the rest. Now this isn’t necessarily a >ad idea, depending on your political leanings, >ut let’s at least be consistent Or at least let’s admit that a polarised view >f the world is not particularly healthy, and that :he demands of one party are often just a -eworlced

Lap,

feminism

Sex industry Well, as I’m writing this it’s international women’s week. So what’s happening out there in the world of women’s issues? A few days ago a ruling went into effect legalizing “lap dancing” in Ontario strip dubs. This has already enraged a few people, and if you listen you can hear them twisting and twitching in a tortuous and victimized rage. They say: “Now all those horrible men in those disgusting places aregoing to develop even more sick and repulsive attitudes toward women. This is a sickness that threatens the safety of good women everywhere. This is a disease, something that must be got rid ofit is an affront to all womankind!” I’m enraged too, but for a different reason. Look past the stereotype, and look into these disgusting places. In there somewhere are some decent people, some nice people, some losers, some jerks, a tot of sleaze, and something else too - in there somewhere is someone who is pretty important to me, someone I consider to be a good friend. Our twisting and victimized friends don’t mention her often, but I will. I’ll tell you something about her, but not very much - you don’t know her, and she doesn’t fit your stereotype. I will tell you that she’s nice, that there are people who care about her, and that she has parents who love her. I’ll also tell you she doesn’t love her job, doesn’t make as much money as you think, but she doesn’t mind it either and she doesn’t want give it up. In short, I’11tell you that she’s a human being just like everyone else. Let me tell you what’s happening in strip dubs across Ontario righ; now especially those in major centers Ii ke Toronto. Bit by bit the women who work in these places who refuse to writhe about on their customers erections are being forced out of their jobs. Bit by bit the standard $5 “don’t dare touch me” table dances are being supplanted by 0 IO and $20 dances that offer oh so much more. Several of the larger strip clubs no longer offer $5 table dances at all - if that’s the sort of work you thought you signed on for, forget it, it’s history.

and..

support

The sex industry is probably one of the most heavily regulated industries there are. We have censors, we have watchdogs, we have government studies, we an anti-porn task force, and we have age limits - but for all that, we don’t have any regulations that are really intended to protect and help the people who work in the industry itself. I’m going to let you in on a dirty little secret now -the women who work in strip clubs are harassed, and they s&er all sorts of abuses, but not from their customers. They suffer the kinds of ugly abuses that show up whenever you have employees who have no means of defense, no ability to organize, no public support, and whose true lives are obscured by the thickest deepest stereotypes there are. Nowhere else in the Canadian economy would such utter contempt of the rights of individual workers be tolerated. Try treating women in any other industry this way and women’s groups will come down on you harder than you can possibly imagine, and with force of law. But slap around a few sluts in the sex industry

- and hey, who care’s, they’re not worthwhile people, are they? I’m about to be reminded that women’s groups care very much what happens to workers in the sex industry. In fact I’ll be told they feel sorry for my friend, or in other words - more contempt. Contempt from the mouths of a bunch of seething hypocrites who see too much political danger in any fight that might validate an indusq they abhor by actually making it safe. Contempt from people who wilt run out and celebrate International Women’s Week with you, so tong as you care about trivial little Ivory Tower issues like spelling, what computer newsgroups you should read, and whether or not some crackpot theory of oppression is true. The last thing I’m going to say is this: Right now my friend feels tike the rug has been pulled out from under her. I don’t know what she’ll do - she may be forced out of Ontario, and in the meantime it’s no easy ride. Do you care?

Yellow Limbaugh libel To the editoc In last week’s Imprint, features editor Jeff Zavitz characterized Rush Limbaugh as a *‘racist, mysogynist, homophobic bigot.” He might have just as easily called him a pedophile while he was at it. These statements were allowed to stand alone. Beyond merely slander and innuendo, this is plainly unsubstantiated libel. Regardless of the direction one’s ideological stripe runs, such falsehoods are inexcusable and by any measure nothing more and nothing less than yellow journalism. If you’ve so much as a shred of hard evidence, publish it. As grossly irresponsible as were those out-of-hand defamations, stranger still was the context in which they were written; specifically, another of Zavitz’s numerous rants against evil corporate and media ethics. That he writes sanctimonious od n~useum comment pieces, gussied up as features, critical of capitalism and journalistic integrity is fine. But to then freely born bard them with confusing third-hand hearsay, without so much as even the faintest trace of irony, is simply astounding. For a newspaper with any sense of decorum, it’s also very sad. Dave

Metaphysical resentment To the editorz The emotion which I sensed eminatingfrom your March I I th editorial was that of resentment towards women who dare celebrate individualism and perhaps a feeling of exclusion from the women’s week activities. You included an excerpt from the Globe and Mail which cited some statistics of suicide, murder, death and prostate cancer, which are plaguing the male gender. I am not disagreeing with you over whether these are horrible statistics, but over whether women in turn have the right to protest their indignities such and assault, date rape, sexual harassment, pornagraphy, wife abuse, pay ineqa uity, single motherhood, men who don’t pay child support, and concern about the power of men over women. How do you propose that women should bring these issues to attention of men? Do you think that anyone would listen to a group of women who politely reqested that the repression of women be stopped? Unfortunately the society we live in dictates that the only way to get noticed is by “demonstrating in the streets”. And then there is the whole language debate...1 can recall my grade eight teacher saying that “his” and “he” pertains to all mankind. Take a look around we have policemen, firemen, chairmen, postmen, and women. Is this an issue? In my opinion, it is because I am never viewed as a separate gender, I am only sub-species of man. What kind of message does “male-dominated” language send to young girls in a society which ctaims equality. Take a close look at your own assumptions and biases Ken Bryson. You mention in your editorial that “men have had to do the dirty work..just so women could stay at home and clean the living room”. First of aH,taking care of a home and children is no easy task or vacation. Why do you devalue the work of women

forum

who stay at home? Second, who may I ask, would not let women do the “mining, warring and construction” for centuries, claiming that it was unfifting for a lady (who was meant to be seen and not heard) and which gender claimed that a women’s place was in the home? You seem to be resentful of anyone who receives special treatment, except of course if it is special treatment for the white, heterosexual male. Are you afraid to lose some of the power that you hold in the name of creating a better world which veiws both sexes equally? As you say in your editorial, what is necessary is to be “open minded and willing to concede your monopoly on victimisation”. So Ken, why not approach women’s issues with sensitivity and understanding instead of attack and open fire. Maybe then, feminists won’t appear to be as you put it “lambasting men, and patriarchal society” but instead people who want to ensure that women are viewed and treated as equal human beings. If you felt excluded from the women’s week activities, it is only because you view women’s issues as important only to women, and not humanity in general. Anita

When they joined Canada in 1949 they handed over their powers over their single most impotint resource: the fish. Fishing isn’f only a way to make a living in Newfoundland, it is the province’s “raison d’etre”. Fishing is as important to the life of many Newfoundlander’s as hunting and trapping are to the natives. Their literature, songs, language and mythology are all centered around it, Today, through years of gross mismanagement on the federal government’s part, the fish are practically gone. The last government was afraid of stepping on the EEC’s toes by stopping the rape of the Grand Banks at the hands of the Portuguese and the Spaniards. Deep sea dragging is the clear cutting of the ocean. The depletion of the cod stocks in the Grand Banks can be viewed as another of the great ecological blunders we have committed in the 20th

century. Why has nothing been done? When the seals were being killed in the seal hunt, much more media attention was given to them, than the virtual depletion of the northern cod stocks. Cut seals, (which are now given birth control by the Feds to control their population), are , II . I . . .. much more marketable than cod. When the federal government failed in its duties of stopping foreign overfishing, it failed the people of Newfoundland. When it imposed laws that kept the Newfoundlanders from packaging their own fish, it perpetuated the poveq of the province and gave their jobs and wealth to the U.S. Federalism isn’t just failing in Quebec. It’s failing all across Canada. The rise of the Reform Party, representing the discontent with the system in the west, is as much a symptom of the problem as the presence of the sovereignist in Quebec. We haven’t seen the anger of the Newfoundlander’s much through the filters of the mainland (Ontario) media, but it is there. Rex Murphy and the occasional letter to the editor of the Globe and Mail will tell you that But unlike Quebec which has the masses and the resources (and therefore the power), to shape federalism or to separate, Newfoundland is doomed to stay in the deal that has led to its destruction.

Kim, perhaps you should re-read my article about nasty cunts. You say “be proud and knowledgeable about your body as a woman.” Kim, that is EXACTLY what I too am saying!

My article was trying to make you aware of the fact that cunt originally was not a negative word but one tarnished within our societal perceptions. Please use the term female genitalia if you find it more suitable but be open minded to my conscious choice to use the word cunt I must comment as well upon your choice of definition for the word cunc a “dirty sounding streetname.” Have you claimed the authority to sit high above “the street” prejudice and elitist?

Ombudscolumn is great To the editor= I am happy to see the introduction of The Ombudscolumn, presumably written by our Ombudsperson, Marianne Miller, UW has a rich history in conflict resolution and the column holds the potential for advancing this line of inquiry and service for everyone involved. I would like to quickly run through her six guidelines and make certain additions that I hope might be helpful in pulling us all together. The first guideline is “Don’t panic”, i think that the message for the brochure of Campus Mediation could be added. It says, “don’t fight, don’t hide, don’t give up”. Panicking would certainly be undesirable, but typical reactions to conflict would be to fight it, run away from it or simply give in. One of the most difficult steps is certainly to recognize that a conflict exists, followed by a conscious choice to either ignore it or develop strategies for its resolution. The second guideline Marianne offers is to consider negotiation with the other party to the conflict, though she doesn’t call it by that name. Of course, there are several other options, including mediation, arbitration, etc, and maybe the advantages of each will be the focus of a later column. I think she speaks wisely when advising that accusations or blaming might create barriers. However, there might also be some wisdom in being very clear about what is at issue for a person as one of the disputants in a conflict situation. Disputants are certainly not neutral. Perhaps Marianne was leading up to suggesting that “interset based bargaining’* is preferable to “position based bargaining” and maybe she will offer us some insights on this difference in a future column. I like the words in the third point, a reference to “the next level of conflict resolution” and I would hope that it refers to if having failed at a negotiated settlement, the next step might be involving a neutral third party who is trained in conflict resolution. We are very fortunate on this campus to have a team of trained mediators in the Campus Mediation program. This program was created nine years ago by Uw’s first ombudsperson and over the years, a Jarge portion of cases that Campus Mediaiton has dealt with was refered by the Ombudsperson’s office. The suggestion to “save the big guns” is alway an option but any suggestion by one disputant to the other that this is a planned recourse will not, of course, assist in

With three of my straight friends, I ventured into the movie theatre to see Tom Hanks “play gay” in Philodephio. If you are a movie buff, you are aware that the movie focuses around a Philadelphia lawyer’s struggle to recognize his employers’ prejudice against him based on homophobia and fear of AIDS. I was very touched by the movie: I thought it presented many of the every day problems that exist as a gay man, the complexities of living with AIDS and his life partner, as well as maintaining

in the job setting.

In many

respects, the movie accurately brings to light homophobia and prejudiceagainst those with HIV and AIDS. There was a very important part of the movie that my straight friends had forgotten; that the climax ofthe film looked at the real root of the problem, the employer’s hutred of homosexuals. AIDS and the lawyer’s removal from the firm were only part of the whole “personality” he associates with Tom Hank’s character. In this light, I had begun to think of all the implications in my life that are affected by my sexuality. Everyday, I walk around the university and there is atways the assumption that I am straight Indeed, there will be people I had grown up around that will by “shocked” by my sexuality. As many of my planning classes deal with minority housing issues arid working

with special interest

groups, I become quite angry that the gay, lesbian and bisexual community are not dealt with more actively. When the opportunity presents itself, I often hesitate to bring up my sexual status for fear of homophobia. Although I have come out to my family, there is still a rote that I am expected to remain relatively quiet at family gatherings about my life. It’s progressed to the point where relatives never ask about my life. because all I feel I can tak about is school. And who wants to hear about school all the time? Silently, I have been doing work within both the Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo and the Cuelph Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Equality

finding a “restorative” solution (another concept I hope will be addressed in a future column). Using “a of the resources available” is always good advice. Marianne urges use of the library, presumably as a good source of scholarly information on conflict resolution. I w&Id add that there are also courses available at Conrad Grebel, and training is available through Campus Mediation. Campus Mediation has always sought to keep a close liaison with the Landlord and Tenant Office and Pals. Conflict resolution avenues are also available through Counselling Services and the Office of Human Rights and Ethical Behaviour, the Network for Conflict Resolution at Conrad Grebel, not to mention various Grievance Committees and the Ethics Committee. There is also the Community Mediation Service downtown, with which Campus Mediation collaborates, producing a joint newsletter and standing ready with town-gown mediation teams, especially for landlord-tenant disputes. We do have rich and abundant resources. Marianne’s fifth point, keeping a paper trail, may serve well in court, but hopefully that applies only after using “a of the resources available” in search of a solution that the disputants design themselves, eitherthrough negotiation, mediation, or some other means. The buzz phraseA/temotive Dispute Resolution refers to options other ,than the courts or violence. I hope she writes about this. Finally, point six tells us to be patient and that resolution can take time. That is certainly true, especially if a court action has been selected as the means of resolution. Months or even years could be required, depending on the matter needing solution. And more patience may be required after the court decision ifthe parties must continue to relate to each other. On the other hand, trained mediators with Campus Mediation have ass&xl conflicting parties to find their own solution with hours! And once in a while a wonderful reconstitution of an earlier friendship happened in the process. Sometimes solutions are found in the very process of arranging for mediation. Only one of the disputants need approach Campus Mediation and the mediators will approach the other party about coming to the table. This process itself can be helpful. I’ll close by repeating my support for the Ombudscolumn. It’s heartening to see another effort join the many in our locale to bring sane and constructive solutions to conflicts and disputes.

Editor’s note: The Omboudscolumn

is actuoljy written

und feseufched by Eric Edwards, whiti didn’t appear on /ust week’s column. Sony for cffy confbsion this may huve caused.

since 1was in high school. This still hasn’t lead me to be more outspoken about telling people I am gay. There have been only a few occasions where I have come out to straight friends or to those who display blatant homophobia. I related well to the scene in Philadelphia where Tom Hanks’ character hears some “‘innocent figgot jokes” with his employees in a saunabath. There is a feeling of anger and fear that I share with such a situation: I could never reveal myself for fear of being alienated or removed as Hanks’ character was. It’s strange that there would be mutual respect until the individual is found to be gay, lesbian or bisexual. I sometimes feel that homophobia equates an individual to the level of sub-human, One of the straight friends I saw the movie with a quite ignorant comment, saying that “‘homosexuuls bring ADS upon themselves and 67~1it is 0 sin that needs to be suppressed.” It is comical that she doesn’t realize she spent her high school years around at least five gays and lesbians who have come out in universiv, as well as making such a comment right to my face. There is a hesitant distance I maintain about my life with this individual and it is a shame that I could never have a meaningful friendship because of homophobia. What I have tried to present is that gay, lesbian and bisexual people face enormous pressures to conform to a heterosexual society. We spend a considerably longer time thinking about

made

what other

people think

of us, how we are to

relate to others as well as how we are to evaluate people’s feelings. Much of the root of our cautiousness is homophobia. In my lifetime, I hope to look forward to a time when I can feel comfortable about being gay in every aspect of my life, not just in my personal

time.

I would recommend to anyone that they see fhj/udelphio and think about the kinds of complexities lesbian, gay and bisexual people deal with in life. Only by realizing that homophobia is crushing your friends, roommates, famify, professors and everyone in your life, will it finally be eradiated.

R&B review ridiculous

To the editor=

I am an avid listener of r&b, hip-hop, reggae, funkand soul and seldom listen to much else. But I feel this strange need to review, hmmmm, let’s say, ahmmmm...,a heavy metal record. Since it seems to be a free for all down at the Imprint when it comes to music reviews, I feel that you will find me very qualified to do so. In case you weren’t able to detect my sarcasm, disappointment, disgust and anger concerning Chris Ald~orth’s review of Toni Braxton’s album in your March 4 issue, this is what I was trying to communicate. The basis of my argument is this, if you don’t know the music, if you can’t tell the di%rence between Tevin Campbell and Barry White, if you can’t tell the difference between the Winans and Jodeci, the difference between Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston, or finally the diierence between a record review and “utter trash”, then stay at home. Play with your penis. Have a brewski. Fall asleep. Do whatever, just stay away from r&b.

This letter has been written in response to a record review published in the March 4th, 1994 issue of the Imprint, supposedly critiquing Toni Braxton’s self-titled album. The author of this review, Chris AIdworth, obviously has no interest in r&b music. This does not bother me personally, but why was it neccesary to have the Imprint’s whole reading audience witness this singer being cut to shreds unjustly. By simply referring to the album as %ap” and “utter shit”, Mr. Aldworth has said nothing to

Social conscience movements, whether environmentalism, feminism, media criticism or what have you, seem to be marked by two distinct qualities. First of all, they are set up in such a way that to be against the title (no matter what individual points you are addressing) is to set yourself up to be called a racist, or a woman-hater, or a capitalist pig, or some other pejorative term. (Trust me, I speak from years of experience.) Should I choose to write against anyone who calls him or herself a feminist, 1 am (the vast majority of the time) automatically relegated to the sidelines along with all those other cromagnon men, doomed to loiter sullenly in the cave of ignorance, waiting for feminism to shed it’s light of reason upon my sloping brow. Usually the response to what I have written will feign to address the points I have made (usually through some gross misinterpretation) and then generalize that 1 am, when all is said and done, a pig. It is, essentially a “them” against “us” mentaiity; the same mentality that likes to use collective terms such as “womyn” or “the media” or “corporations” or “the system.” Having drawn the lines of battle, the next step (and the real topic of this column) is to ensure that the war is never over. To understand what I mean, take a look at any of the aforementioned movements. When will any of them be happy? At what point in time can the environmentalist movement say “Yes, enough trees are saved!” at what point will the media critics say “Yes, the different media are responsible and accountable enough!” at what point will feminists be able to say “Yes, men and women are equal!” What kind of world will we be living in? I am relatively sure that those statements will never ever be uttered in my lifetime, and I should hope not. I hope to hell not. The tacit assumption to all of these movements, and really, my only grievance with any of them, is that the world will only be alright when everyone is a member of their movement, agrees with what they say, and thinks like they do. What this underlying assumption has in its interest to do is misrepresent facts. Obviously, if you are interested in a cemin position, you are going to find all the facts and numbers to support

me that he has even listened to the in the article referring to B-n’s music. He even goes as far as calling listeners of this kind of music album yet He does not have a sentence

By releasing his review, you have only shown that he is an ignorant, close-minded individual who has no desire to dwell outside his limited musical domain. This might be expected from Joe Average, but from an Imprint staff member? The review talks more about Whitney Houston than Toni herself. I also do not understand why he keeps comparing Whitney Houston to Toni when even the most primitive human being can see that their styles are not similar. This review was obviously not about Toni Braxton’s music, but a personal distaste for r&b music. Up until now, I’m still tfying to figure out why someone who hates r&b music so much would even bother taking the time to write a review (if you can all it that) on an r&b artist. Anyways, I have wasted too much time on this clown so my closing words go out to you Mr. Editor. My only request is that you and your staff read the reviews and filter out blatantly ridiculous biased reviews and edit them orat least try and get their writers to justify their positions.

Between March 2 and March 20 Baha’is around the globe observe a nineteen day fast. During this time Baha’is between the ages of I5 and 70 who are in good health abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset. The Baha’i fist is ” .-essentially a period of meditation and

prayer, of spiritual recupemtion, during which the believer must strive to make the necessary readjustments in his inner life, and to refresh and reinvigorate the spiritual forces latent in his soul.” The fast ends on Naw Ruz (New Year) which begins on the day of the vernal equinox, March 2 I. Of the estimated five million Baha’is worldwide, about 20 000 live in Canada. The Baha’i Faith started in the mid 19th century in Persia. The prophet-founder, Baha’u’llah (the Glory of God) was born into a noble family. In an attempt to extinguish His Divine Message he was banished and exiled from his homeland and country for over forty years. In 1892 Baha’u’llah passed away in what was then Palestine, now Israel, where the Universal House of Justice, the chief administrative body of the Baha’i Faith is presently located. Baha’is have no formal priesthood or clergy. Some of the principles of the Baha’i Faith include: the abandonment of all forms of prejudice; equality of men and women; universal education; harmony of religion with science; establishment of a world federation; responsibility of each person to independently investigate truth; that all the religions are one and share a common foundation; that humankind is one and unity and universal peace can be achieved.

your case. Of course you should, but the problem arises in not looking at both sides of the story, Take, for example, the economic situation of women in this country, specifically, what types of jobs women hold, Almost everyone would assume that women are underepresented in the best jobs in Canada. Wrong. According to Statscan’s survey of women and men 25 and older, of 3.7 million managers and professionals in Canada, 50.4 per cent were men and 49.6 per cent were women. Between 1988 and 1993, women accuunted for over 78 per cent of new jobs. Breaking down the management positions even further, women represented a majority in the “professional” category including lawyers, doctors, accountants, and mathematicians. They represent less of a majority in managerial positions, however, the growth rate for women is higher than men in both cases, In professional positions, women held 55.7% per cent of the 2.1 million jobs in that field. In managerial positions, they represent 42 per cent of the 1,5 million jobs in that group. This, it seems to me, is virtual parity. Now it’s quite possible that I’m only saying this because I’m a man, or since these numbers were reported in the Globe and Mail, that their facts are distorted by the patriarchal society that their writers grew up in. Or it could be that these numbers are right. The whole point is that you look at the facts and figures, and make decisions based on information, not unfounded social theories. If you really want to believe that women have traditionally been maligned, and that we live in a society that is biased against women, and that our economic system is based upon repression, and that there is a “backlash” against feminism, back it up. The thing is, if it turned out that none of these feminist claims were true, then where would they go from there? That’s the whole point., we will never reach a level of parity in the eyes of feminism because it’s in their interest to have their voices heard. Special pleading, however, needs more than just different claims to be taken seriously.

the way of your Lord (Allah) with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason in the better way. Lo! your Lord is Best Aware of him who strays from His way and He is Best Aware of those who go aright” -translation of the meaning of the Qur’an [ 16: I25 J.

OF ISLAM

(1)

Shcuqf

The above verse shows the way Islam should be introduced to others as indicated by different Qur’anic teachings. Muslims are instructed to be extra courteous in their discussions with the people of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians). Allah says “And argue not with the people of the Book unless it be in (a way) that is better, save with such of them as do wrong; and say: We (Muslims) believe in that which has been revealed unto us and revealed unto you; our God and your God is One, and unto Him we surrender” [29:46]. Once the message of Islam was made known to others, Muslims were considered to have completely fulfilled their obligation. Allah instructs Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and those who follow him saying, “Remind them, for you are but a reminder. You are not at all a warder over them” [88:2 l-221 and “But if they are averse, We (Allah) have not sent you as a warder over them. Thine is only to convey (the message)” [42;48]. Forcible conversion is not only futile but is also absolutely forbidden according to the precepts of the Qur’an, “There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejects false dieties and believes in Allah has grasped a firm handhold which will never break” [2:256]. The very existence of so many nourishing Christian communities in countries that have been for centuries under Muslim rule is an abiding testimony to the toleration non-Muslims have enjoyed. Sometimes even better than the treatment of their co-religionists. Indeed, small nonMuslim communities have usually been better off in most ways under Islamic rule than otherwise. This includes Jews, Christian Church of North Africa, Egyptian Copts and Syrian Orthodox. For instance, the only refuge jews could find, after

their exodus from Spain towards the end of the fifteenth century, was a blessed corner of the Islamic State, and that was Palestine. No wonder Christians welcomed the Muslim rulers with their justice and security which rescued them from the Byzantine yoke of that time. The way Islam spread into the East and Central Africa, India and Indonesia is well worth looking into. History tells us that the Arabs of Makkah, Arabia used to live mainly on their trade. There were generations of experienced Arab merchants since before Islam who naturally lived in close contacts with the natives of those far places, adopted their language and intermarried with them. Thanks to their honorable Islamic conduct, after Islam, in their business deals and in their daily life, they earned the admiration of the local inhabitants and their tribal chiefs as well. Thus, in due time trading centers became nuclei from which lstam peacefully diffused into hearts of people. Had Islam been imposed by force, or had the converts accepted it under the threat of the sword they would never have been sincere to it, nor would they have brought up their children in it. Among those non-Ambs were eminent scholars of Islam whose illustrious names shine in Islamic history, “... Verily, the most honored of you in the sight of God is the most righteous of you” [49: I 31. lslati still spread east and west until today. There are millions of Muslims in Europe and North America whose leaders in many cases are new Muslims who accepted Islam under the Sword (Of Truth!). The question that might be asked now: If that is the case with the spread of Islam, then what about the wars we read about in history books? The answer wilt be given in a next article of this series (God willing). The Qur’un Speaks is presented by the UW Muslim Study Group.

Where to go for the help you need I broke the hand that I use to write with in asportsaccident. The cast permiti me to write, but very slowly. I have a midterm this week and there is no way I can write the exam in the time allotted. What should I do? The resource that would be best suited in assisting you is the Services for Persons with Disabilities located in Room 205 I at Needles Hall. You may also call them at 888-4635 or TTY/TDD 888-4044 (please note that this number is used for special devices for those with a hearing impairment). This office specializes in assiting students that have permanent and temporary disabilities. There you will find a highly skilled and experienced staff that will assist you with this problem. This is one of the most common problems that the Services for Persons with Disabilities handles through a school year. Approximately 600 exams are scheduled for this and other causes throughout the term. An incredible amount of time and organization is required in order to accommodate all the students. But, through careful coordination, this office is able to meet the needs of the student body affected by permanent and temporary disabilities. The normal procedure in this case requires a student to produce a document from his or her doctor giving details of the injury, the prognosis, and approximate time that the doctor expects the injury to heal. The student must then determine with the office the method with which they will attempt the exam. Several methods are available to the student and are dependent on the level of disability. The exam can be done orally, by computer, or the student can be given extra time to complete the exam. An exam form is required that needs to be signed by the professor which indicated to the professor that the office will be organizing and monitoring the exam during the regularly scheduled exam time period. The student then goes to the office in Needles Hall and writes the exam. All the arrangements are done

through this office and as you can see, it is a procedure that they are very familiar with, Obviously, this issue can apply to a whole range of temporary disabilities. Broken ankles, wrists and arms are perhaps the most common problems, but I think you would be surprised at the resourcefulness this office will use to assist anyone in need of help. There appears to be no challenge too large or dificult for the Services for Persons with Disabilities to deal with.

I have a slight physical impairment that has not, as of yet, impeded my ability tosucceed scholastically. But, with the large lecture halls in university, I am not able to adequately participate in this typ of environment and succeed. What can I do about this? The Services for Persons with Disabilities has a large number of iresouces availbable for use on a temporary basis and is some cases throughout the term. Laptop computers, telephone devices for the deaf, and tape recorders are available for use until the student is able to obtain funding or resources for whatever tools that you require. This service will allow you and other students access to the same level of teaching and resources available to those studnets that do not have disabilites. The office will also arrange to have a student’s equipment repaired if they are living on campus, as well as access for its clients to the appropriate social service agencies so that they can arrange for the acquisiton of their own equipment. In fact, one of the issues that the ofice contends with on a regular basis is the underutilization of their services by students that suffer unnecessarily due to their lack of awareness to the breadth of services available to them through the Services for Persons with Disabilities. In ten years the ofice has yet to be stumped by the many challenging situations that present themselves by its many satisfied clients.

All the Augustine would consider self-love the antithesis of his moral philosophy, yet it is implicit in his work. For Augustine, the ultimate good is embodied in the Christian god, and good is defined as action and thought in accordance with His will as laid out in the Bible. Deviance from god’s will constitutes evil. Augustine believed that man deviated from the will of god through original sin. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge they were exercising their free will in turning away from god and goodness. Augustine cites free will as the ultimate cause of all actions, good or bad. He does not allow for factors which may motivate the will. His example of two men, equal in every respect yet with one choosing to succumb to evil and the other resisting, provides a problem. Augustine wants to exonerate god for any responsibility for mans’ evil actions. His two men must be identical so that one cannot have an unfair advantage over the other. Consequently, he must avoid any factors which may be influenced by an all powerful god, such as a privileged background, greater intelligence or a greater propensity towards the good. The problem is that this leaves us with no tangible reasons to explain why one would choose the good while the other would not. It boils down to free will but, if nothing motivates the will, what causes it to act? The only way past this, though it doesn’t get us far, is to argue that we are free to choose what we are motivated by. The only choice, for Augustine, is action and thought in accordance with god’s will. Why should we follow god’s will! Our own will might lead to immoral actions because man is not perfect. Why should we be moral? It is in our own self-interest to do so. Take the example of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham is ordered to kill his son. This action would normally be considered evil but in this context it is seen as good because god wills it. Who is it good for? It is good for Abraham who will please god. Given Christian cosmology, it is in one’s own best interest to act in accordance with the will of

god. If the penalty for disobeying god’s will is eternal torment and the reward eternal bliss, the Christian can be seen as motivated by the ultimate pleasure/pain principle. Might pleasing the entity with the keys to Heaven and Hell be worth the price of an only son? Despite all protests to the contrary, even the most “pious“ of actions are based upon self-interest. Okay, now you are going to accuse me of misrepresenting Christianity again, Of course, Ken Craig has also been accused of this (remember that stuff about Jesus and the strippers?) so I guess I am in good company. You know, pardon the digression but I am somewhat peeved about being accused of misrepresenting Christianity. First, there is a great deal of disagreement amongst Christians as to what Christianity entails. It would be interesting to pit Billy Graham against Paul Tilloch and see how much they had to agree upon. Second, it would seem that “misrepresentation” is thought to mean “disagreement”. I get the feeling that the only description of Christianity that various Christians would accept as fair, would be the description that they themselves would give. Well, writing about how awful Christianity is would be the point of this column. So if you are thinking of writing in and complaining that I am not giving you Christians a fair shake please bring up something specific, otherwise, DON’T. So, back to what I was saying. As much as the Christian would like to claim that he isn’t motivated by self-interest when it comes to following god’s laws, this is an odd claim to make in the context of a religion which features the ultimate positive reinforcement for those who adhere to this religion and the ultimate negative reinforcement for those who don’t. Even if we view the Christian as being motivated by a sincere love of god rather than the promise of Heaven and threat of Hell, this still boils down to self-interest Anyone who has ever been in love knows that love is tied into our selfinterest. We are willing to go to great lengths for those we love because it gives us pleasure to do so.

Only recently has the general public become aware that there is logging going on in our province’s most famous park. Algonquin, Ontario’s first park, has 74 per cent of its land base available for logging. Between I985 and 1990, I 4 per cent ofthe park’s forested area was cut. That translates into 700 square km of forested land. Logging is not the only thing going on in the park. Gravel extraction, nonnative hunting of Algonquin’s mammals, and increased fishing are also posing problems for the park’s longterm ecological survival. The year 1993 saw the celebration of the park’s 100th anniversary. Since 1893, Algonquin has grown to became a provincial institution. Thousands of Ontario residents make their way there each year to experience the beauty of the park’s wilderness. It has also been a source of creative inspiration, most notably for the famous Canadian painters, the Group of Seven. Only I4 per cent of the Park is actuallyproteaecf from development. This area lies within the park’s ‘wilderness’ and ‘nature reserve’ zones. As you can tell by the map in figure I, these areas are actually islands in a sea of logging and other intensive land use activities. Does Algonquin still constitute a “park”? Isn’t a park supposed to be an area where flora and fauna are left relatively unaltered? In the book The Digital Forest, by Tom Baiter, it is shown that, “much of the basis for setting the area aside as a park was over the concern that logging not lead to further exploitation of the Park area”.

Therefore, the rapid Pace of these destructive activities seem to be incongruent with the original mandate of the park Algonquin is comprised of 800, 000 hectares of the Great Lakes-St Lawerence forest region. In this area, boreal forest is bordered by mixed hardwood/pine forests. The results are especially stunning in the fall when the brilliant colours of the moulted birch and maple nestle among the lush red and white pine. These pines once dwarfed the sugar maple and the beech trees in the western part of Algonquin Park, but intense logging and suppression of pine restoring fires have reduced their unce formidable range to a fraction of its original size. Although clear cutting is not being practised in the park, the method of management used today can be just as destructive to the different

ecosystems in the park. The “featured specie” approach to forestry may be fine for timber farming, but it is not in accordance with the Park Objective. This clearly states the park’s intent to, “maintain the variety of the park’s ecosystems and existing environmental conditions”. The Wildlands League, a group which has been fighting for the wild in Algonquin for over 20 years, has been researching the current togging practices in Algonquin. They have found that these methods, “encourage the regrowth of the featured species”, the one which they are logging. Subsequent *‘regeneration efforts are implemented in such a way as to encourage the regrowth of the featured species, often at the expense of the other species currently existent in the stand”. This method of forestry ignores the importance of the other types of

trees to the stand. Although the trees may not be economically important to humans, they might be vital to the wildlife that lives in that niche. Encouraging only desired trees does not maintain existing environmental conditions, it changes them. This change could be fatal to the wildlife in that area. Increased togging is also harmful in another way. New togging roads must be built to accommodate the trucks. Algonquin is already riddled

reached 0.9 miles per square mile of habitat Algonquin is home to the last remaining healthy lake trout populations in Southern Ontario. The survival of the trout has been based on the fact that until recently, they have been isolated from human activity. However, the more logging roads there are, the easier it is to find the lakes to fish in. Recreational overuse degrades the ecosystems and diminishes the fish populations. Perhaps we just love our parks too much. Because of Algonquin’s size, it is one of the last places in Southern Ontario where large mammals like bear, moose, deer and wolf can find refuge. The number of bears shot within the surrounding townships has increased 300% in the last three years. Even though Algonquin is huge, it is not large enough to accommodate the range of a single wolf pack As soon as these animals leave the park boundaries, they fall prey to waiting hunters. A study done by a University of Waterloo research team, headed by biologist John Theberge, found that of the 20 timber wolves they radio-collared, 1I died over the winter. This high mortaIity rate has Theberge, and The Wildlands League, greatly concerned.

On/y 14 per cent is protected from development with logging roads and rail lines. There are over 2000 km of road and I30 km of railalready within the park’s boundaries. An additional I90 km of park will be converted into roads between t 990 and 1995. Roads posegrave threats for wildlife. The increase in roads will inevitably increase the amount of animals killed atong the road. Each year an average of 26 moose are ki Iled by trains alone in the park. Road building and reconstruction results in pollution, erosion and sedimentation of streams and wetlands. Many forms of wildlife find roads to be impassable barriers, impeding migration, dispersal and breeding. Even rarely used roads will not be crossed by some small species of vertebrates and invertebrates. In an area of Northern Minnesota which has similar ecology to Algonquin, wolf populations dropped when the level of road density

The Government of Ontario is currently re-evaluating its timber management plan for Algonquin. The Wildlands League, as part of their lobbying for better forest management, will be seeking your valuable input concerning the future of the ecosystems and economies of the Algonquin Park area. The Wildlands League is presenting a side-show to the K-W area this coming Monday, March 21. They wilt be focusing on the stresses that threaten the natural integrity of Algonquin Park. The first showing will be at 4:30 pm in MC 4020, on the Universiq of Waterloo campus. A second showing will be held at the Main Kitchener Public Library, 85 Queen St North in Kitchener, It will start at 7:30 pm. Admission for both events is by donation.

In Toronto, there are more food banks than McDonalds outlets. Fifteen per cent of Toronto families cannot afford a nutritious diet Sixq per cent of diseases are diet-related. Eight corporations control seventy-five per cent of the world’s food. Last year, Ontario daiFy farms closed at a rate of over one a day.

toba, believes our *‘high-input chemical and capital-intensive industrial agriculture” has created comparable third world conditions in Canada. He writes in City Magazine, “The result in the third world has been famine. The result, here, where more subtle strategies are at play, is a reduction of the farm population and an increase in urban unemployment and welfare lists. Different words, more refined and less crude methods, but the story is the same, and so are the results: food relief, from a system that finds food banks and international relief programmes more efficient than l&tin~ people have decent land to grow food for themselves.” Dobson likens industrial agriculture and mono-cropping for export to ‘putting all your eggs in one basket’, and then falling of the porch because one of the steps is broken. But there are some farmers who have smrted rebuilding the porch and sharing ‘round the eggs. Imagine an appointment with your farmer once a week to pick up your fresh picked vegetables.

Although it goes by many names shared farming, community supported agriculture, subscription farming, share cropping - this type of farming arrangement in Canada is best known as community shared agriculture or CSA. CSA is a new idea here but has been around in various forms in Japan and Europe for decades. Beginning in 1985, there are now over 300 CSA farms in Canada and the US. In practice, CSA has many different forms. Basic to all, is the farmer and a consumer group. In most cases, consumers purchase a “share” of the harvest through pre-season payment, and are commonly referred to as “share members” (“shareholders”). A “share” is often equivalentto a weekly supply of vegetables for a family of four during the growing season (mid-june to mid1 October in southern Ontario), and root storage crops during the winter , onions, carrots, potatoes, etc.). If there are 30 share members, the har@JB vest is divided by 30. CSA addresses some social and environmental impacts of conventional anriculture. While conventional food 1 p;oduction is working toward fewer 1 and larger farms in one kind . ._ specializing . --a of crop and livestock, CSA requires smaller and more diverse operations. Instead of 25 acres of cabbages or m carrots, CSA farms have over 20 kinds of vegetables growing intensively on several acres. Instead of heavy applications of petrochemical-based fertiliz1 ers and pesticides, CSA farms use animal manure, green manures (e.g. rye, clover) and techniques like companion planting.

are

having

to spend more on chemicals but receive less and less per unit of their food oroduction. CSA farmers however, &ve on chemical costs and receive retail value for their produce. According to the Ontario Wheat Producers Marketing Board, over the 1980’s the

farmgate value of wheat fell 43% while the retail price increased by 235% - 78 times the price paid to the farmer. In 1994, there are over 22 farms using CSA as part of their operations and receiving retail value for their production on the Canadian prairies alone. A CSA project can be initiated by either a group of consumers finding a wilting farmer/gardener and a piece of arable land or by an existing farmer offering shares to prospective consumers. Once a formal relationship is established, (i.e. through contract or incorporation), pick-up and delivery systems and the extent of consumer participation are worked out Most CSA projects combine a regular pickup at the farm and delivery to an intown depot. The size of CSA projects range from a few families to several hundred. In 1993, Armtree CSA near Mitchell, Ontario, grew for three families on half an acre. Twin Creeks Shared Farm in St Adolphe (southeast of Winnipeg), grew for I80 families on IO acres. Sharing the Risk Each spring, 3% of the Canadian farming population goes into massive debt on behalf of the other 97% and assume all of the natural risks (e.g. nota-summer-of-1992). 6y paying for a share of the harvest up front, CSA involves sharing the risks of crop praduction. Consumers share responsibility for the success and failure of crops, the poor yields and the bounty. Instead of paying interest on borrowed funds over the summer+ the C5Afarmer can pay for spring start-up and collect interest from pre-season payments. th the abnormally cool weather that affected crops in I 992, share crop farmer Dan Wiens of Twin Creeks Shared Farm found that 74% (of 220 families) still rated the quality of his vegetables above the supermarket Wiens believes that freshness and taste won over selection. . Draining the Local Economy Not only is the conventional farmer’s life changing, but the impacts of larger scale, mechanized agriculture are being felt throughout society. Fewer farms mean greater distances between farms themselves as well as increased distances to markets, wholesalers and processors. This food is simply is less fresh and nutritious by the time it reaches our plates. Out in the countryside, rural communities that haven’t already been drained of resources and disappeared will have fewer farmers to hold them together - socially and financially. Increased mechanization translates into fewer local jobs and a loss of the physical work we once prized as meaningful and importantwith more and more farmers producing for wholesale (i.e. Toronto Food Terminal) and with increasing numbers of consumers buying vegetables and other farm products at the supermarket, massive amounts of money is leaving the local economy. As more of Ontario’s food is broduced

for export

and less for local consump-

tion, the door opens wider for other countries to meet our local food needs. For example, Canada imported $6 billion worth of U.S. farm products last year alone. We were second to Japan in importing American agricultural products. Fresh fruits and vegetables accounted for nearly half of this total. Grapes, lettuce and tomatoes were worth $ I27 million each, $ I00 million was spent on fresh oranges, and $70 million went towards fresh apples. Plugging the Drain CSA is attempting to repair and rebuild local communities and economies through food. Dan Wiens claims that if only 20 per cent of the population of Winnipeg were to purchase shares in local farms for “... I4 weeks - the rest of the time Safeway has got them - it would create 100 farms. This is not replacing farms, it is just utilizing available land. If this is hurting anyone, it is not the people on the Prairies.” In CSA, growers meet those who eat their food and get direct feedback Share members find it important to meet the grower, learning more about how their food is grown. Many urban members have no opportunity to visit a farm, and enjoy establishing this contact especially if they have children. CSA provides an educational experience not possible at the supermarket For example, farmer Robert Budd of the Huron Community Garden near Coderich had a problem with corn ear worm and was trying to decide whether or not to spray. For any market gardener, there would be no choice but to spray or risk losing customers. Budd explained to his shareholders the dilemma. After understanding Budd’s position, they decided to take unsprayed corn and to remove any worms. CSA farms also arrange potlucks, corn roasts, and coffee houses for share members to meet Each spring and fall, the Huron Community Garden organizes a square dance. Providing this type of meeting place is another way to strengthen the local economy, creating support networks between farmers. Dan Wiens distributes his neighhour’s eggs and chickens to share members. With a guaranteed market of 30 or more families buying weekly, neighbouring farms can pool their produce and provide consumers with a complete range of products including fruits, berries, meat, dairy products, maple syrup, bread, grains and cereals. Stu’dents can get involved and take control of the impacts of their food consumption. Find out if there is a CSA near your town/city this summerJoin. At the very least, get out to a farmers’ market and support local growers who address the effects of industrial agriculture with natural or organic produce. Better yet, ON FRIDAY MARCH 25th, FROM 9 A.M. TO NOON IN . TI-IE COURl-fARD V-4 ENYIRONMENTAL STUDIES I, there will be speakers on Community Shared Agriculture as well as organic farming and permaculture.

best in Canada were all around. The University of Alberta was the hosting school and did a superb job, There facility was awesome to see; called the ‘Butter Dome’ it resembled -- yes, a huge block of butter. Friday night’s events started off with the women’s 4-by-800-m relay. The fearsome foursome of Judith LeRoy, Sarah Thompson, Cindy O’Carroll, and Sarah Brown ran in a highly competitive field with admirable results. LeRoy led off the relay, running with an impressive leg which left the Athenas in fourth overall. Thompson ran next and fended off more than one attempt by formidable teams to pass her. O’Carroll ran third and showed true grit, running through Pain without an ounce of complaint. The team was anchored by the very tough Brown, who proceeded to tear up the track and run down one team, only to be caught at the line by a second team. The women ended up placing ninth in Canada, which is an awesome performance consideringthat the team consisted of two second-year and two rookie Athena athletes. There can be nothing but great things expected from this young team

in the future. This year’s Ontario bronze medalist team could very well prove to be next years gold medalist at both the ClAUs and OWlAAs hosted in Winnipeg and Ontario respectively. The next to take to the track was the men’s 4-by-800-m relay team consisting of Kregg Fordyce, 7.1. MacKenzie, Jim Mylet and Jason ‘The Jaguar’ G regoi re. Fordyce went out on his leg like it was a race to the death. His aggressive running made more than one team take notice of him. He finished his leg with a personal best, leaving the team in sec. ond place. Buzz MacKenzie then took the baton and ran with true spirit dressed in black from top to toes. The team’s rookie Mylet followed with a gutsy run even though injured; the death dance was almost upon him as he was handed off to anchor Gregoire. Gregoire was strong, making up ground on the lead runners. His dedication to the team and absolute commitment were evident as he finished off the race strong. The team placed a disappointing I I th overall. This was definitely not as well as

they had hoped to do but the experience gained by competing at this level of competition can not be measured, and its benefits will surely be shown during the next season. The second day started off with the hurdles. Alicia Steele and Brent Forrest were ranked 15th going into the competition. Both vowed to improve on their rankings. Steele was the first to on the track, and did just what she had set out to do. She ran a 9. I7-second race, just a mere four-hundredths of a second slower than her personal best and fast enough to place her 13th overall in Canada. Steele still has two years of competition left so a few more trips to the Canadian championships can be expected. Forrest then took to the track to see how he would stand up to the pressure. After false starting for the first time in his track career, he came back to run a respectable race. His time was six-hundredths of a second off his personal best of 8.60 seconds. This time was enough to give Forrest a 12th in Canada placing, a great performance for this graduating athlete who has been (not so patiently) waiting for five years to run this race at the CIAUs. Karl Zabjeck in the high jump had a disappointing showing in the CIAU competition. It was just one of those days when you are well off your personal best and then nothing goes right Perfection at this level of competition and in such a technique-dependent event is vital to have a chance at the medals, which Zabjeck indeed had. Luck just was not on his side. The women’s I ,000-m race found Sarah Brown of the Athena squad on the track ready to take on the competition. Brown ran close to her personal best and as always had the determination and commitment of a true Athena. She will definitely be one to look out for in the next few years of OWlAA and CIAU competition, as she is only a second-year student and one of the best runners in Canada. Gregoire stole the show in the men’s 3,000-m race. A gruclling 254ap race, the 3,000-m had to be one of the gutsiest races we have ever seen. With a lap to go and in fouti place, Gregoire ran through the wall, past the bear, and beyond the Lactic

Acid zone to a place few people have ever been, the CIAU podium and a bronze medal. His teammates went wild and everyone present got a good view of the team spirit and support Waterloo Warriors and Athenas have for their fellow athletes. The price of winning is pain, though, and as Gregoire said, “that was the most I’ve ever hurt,” this coming from the guy who gets annoyed in practice if he does not hurt enough during the workout Oh well, the medal was a sweet incentive for the team to train harder for next year in hope that returning athletes can follow in Gregoire’s very fast footsteps. In the pole vault, Jeff Miller then tooktothe sky smashing his own former school record by IO centimetres and winning another bronze medal for

Waterloo. The high-flying engineering student was competing against Canada’s best, Doug Wood. Miller was not phased in the feast though, Iaping to the rhythmic clapping of fans and fellow athletes. His victory yell made the sports cover stories in the Edmonton newspapers and his performance made him one of Canada’s best The day was completed by the annual CIAU banquet where every athlete, trainer and coach relaxed after a hard season’s work and had a great time. The Warriors placed a strong eighth in Canada in team points ending off a great year and making things look promising for next year. Sunday came and it was time to leave Edmonton. Before the late afternoon departure, everyone toured the West Edmonton Mall and tested our stamina and stomachs one more time on a roller coaster called the Mind Bender. This is the coaster that a bunch of people died on a couple of years ago. It was a great ride although queeziness took over afterward. One positive point of the aftermath was tiat T. j. Mackenzie looked a bit green and for once in his life was the quietest guy around, sleeping most of the plane ride back to Ontario. Back in Waterloo yet again, the Athenas and Warriors are back hard at work finishing off the school year and catching up in their studies. We were very pleased to find out though, that the athletes at ClAUs were not the only track and field athletes that had a great weekend. Our teammate Taly Williams was signed by the Hamilton Tiger Cat football team. We thankTaly for his contribution to the track and field team this season. He is a true competitor and one of the best Warrior athletes around. His presence will be missed by both track and field and the football team. Congratulations and good luck in the CFL, Taly -- we’ll all be rooting for you.

Just one week after Waterloo Warrior fullback Mike Mallot was drafted into the Canadian Football League, one of his teammates has also been given the nod to the professional ranks. Third-year defensive back Taly Williams signed a two-year contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last Friday. Although he has only used up three years of eligibility, Williams was still eligible for a CFL invite because he is in his graduating year in Civil Engineering. “I wasn’t recruited by anyone in high school and made the Warriors as a walkon in my second year,” said Williams in an interview earlier this week. “I never would have believed back then that three years later I would be entering the CFL Hamilton’s starting free safety is leaving in a year 50 my chances of making the roster are within reach.” The 6’3” I85 Ibs. safety put up some very respectable numbers in the 1993 season and was honoured as an OUAA all-star. His 29 tackles (I4 of those unassisted) ranked fourth on the team and second among defensive backs. He also registered four assists, a hurry, a sack, and two interceptions.

Days of shin splints, 100 high kicks in a row, and music with I60 beats or more are gone. Fitness of the future is a much gentler style, low impact yet high in intensity; safety is a concern, with no more overuse injuries, cross-training being the trend. With life’s new stresses and fast pace, fitness has responded with new innovative ideas so that there is a workout for everyone. Traditional high/low impact, strictly low impact, the Reebok step, muscle conditioning, and aquafit classes for special populations$ike the elderly, pregnant, or children are what we have seen until now. The most recent class is Nike’s Total Body Conditioning (TCB) using the new SLIDE.

In keeping with the pace, Campus Recreation is looking into investing in Nike’s TCB by purchasing slides and providing UW students with more versatile fitness programs. Keep your eyes open for some demonstration classes using the slide, where you will get to try it out If you have not been a participant in the CR fitness program you are missing out on many benefits of taking a fitness class two to three times a week* Fitness increases cardiovascular strength and muscle strength. It also improves flexibility and balance and coordination. On a more personal level, you can relieve stress, improve your self-image and gain a positive attitude. Take advantage of the Campus Ret fitness opportunities. If you’ve been active for some time, perhaps you are looking for a new challenge. Why not become a fitness instructor? Teaching fitness is more than wearing a fancy body suit, having a perfect body, and dancing around in front of people. The fitness image has changed from the days of “20-minute Workout”. Now, fitness has a more professional and healthy approach. Instructing is about leadership skills, creating a

safe, fun learning environment for participants, and educating people on how to get and stay healthy and exercise effectively. You do not have to be in kinesiology to be a successful instructor; they come from all walks of life. To take advantage of this great opportunity, Campus Recreation is always looking for instructors. In just one term, you can become a qualified instructor through the Fitness Ontario Leadership Program offered on campus. This program will teach you the basic fitness skills and the theory behind exercise management. You will have ample opportunity to practice these skills because you are paired with a more qualified instructor to help the learning process. Registration for this program and the other fitness classes occurs at the beginning of the term, but if you want more information drop by the Athletic department in PAC 2039.

Setting themselves up with grand speeches of mutual distrust and reveiling in their empowerment, the carpet is pulled out from under them, and the play The Country Wife weaves its fantastic comic spell. Don’t be fooled by complexities that you think you can understand. It should be said that the actors who played Mrs/Mr. Pinchwife did an excellent job providing charicature and characterization, through their deft blending of satire and sensibility.

the most threatening personas on stage I have seen. He seems to be on one hell of an ego trip when he is up there. This air about him helps to bringthe showto life. His attitude adds to the hard rock/ punk music and proves exceptionally

entertaining. At Phil’s you could sense the anger and intensity in his voice bd the end of many of the songs were punctuated with the mic stand crashing down on stage. The majority of songs from the night came from their relatively recent release Picture Of HeuEth. A few new tunes were included alongside the favourites which comprised the body of the lenghty set Each song was reconstructed live and all took on a new life. Songs like “Something Stands For Nothing”, “Heart Of Darkness” and “Losing Control” exhibited the Headstones in top form. The Traveling Wilburys cover ‘*Tweeter and The Monkey Man” was full of life and the thrashy “Oh My God” was exceptionally amazing. The new songs in the set received an excellent response from the crowd. It is great to see that the outsmnding song writing abilities of the Headstones are as strong as ever. With a new album slated for release in early September you can be sure that these new songs will be gracing the air waves sometime soon. The enthusiastic set ended with a definitely harder version of the Monkey’s “Stepping Stone”. Opening the show were the Killjoys who performed a fine set of grinding guitar songs. Why are the Headstones so great? If you don’t already know then you’ll just have to come check them out for yourselves.

Etheridge

Mossy Hull, Toronto March I I, 1994

by Sharon Little Imprint stun Melissa Etheridge is a lesbian. I feel compelled to mention this fact for the simple reason that every interview, every article, everything I’ve heard about her focuses on her sexuality. Now that the compulsory sexuality thing is out of the way, I can focus on the really important aspect of her life to most people; her music. She’s been proclaimed the female Bruce Springsteen of rock, with her melancholic messages and her energetic, emotional guitar licks. Critics feared that she would slowly drift out of the spotlight as the less than impressive results of Springsteen’s two releases last year were tallied, but Etheridge is a fighter, and she refuses to give in. From the bleak stage a solitary voi& eminated and before the glow of the lights illuminated a sight, blond figure, the crowd erupted. Etheridge grabbed the audience’s passions, opening with the sombre sounds of “Come to My Window” and holding them just long enough to smash them just long enough to smash them aroud with her raspy voice on “If I Wanted To” and “All American Girl”.

Sk tensity of Etheridge’s performance had an explaination. “Today,” she explained, “I was presented with my Canadian platinum record for ‘Yes I Am.“’ The ensuing thunder was deafening. While herfellow musicians rested, a single tattered and tasseled lamp descended from the high ceiling, reminicent of her bar room days. “This is how I learned to appreciate all of you,” she joked. She proceeded to offer and amazing acoustic version of “Ain’t it Heavy” and the flipped over the wooden instrument to alight

“Ocasionally”, featuring only a handslapped beat and an angel-like voice. The show kept pn getting better and better, turning it up another notch, and then another. Etheridge’s first hit,

“Bring Me Some Water”, pushed the intensity of the experience higher than anyone thought it could go, but that wasn’t enough for her.

They did it with such skill and strength we were left shaking and spent But we didn’t want it to be over, so Etheridge returned two more times, once playing the abrasive “Like the Way I Do” with all the anger she could muster.

tional trickster, the coyote. Using the coyote’s image as trickster to interest the white men in the story, King’s narrator plays the tricks, himself, offering the white men an obscure, almost mocking creation story. The trickster coyote appears numerous times throughout the collection, also filling the roles of scapegoat and sub-deity. “The One About Coyote Heading West,” portrays coyote as the bumbling loner and as the first to “find” Indians. Coyote is also near-deified in “How Corporal Colin Sterling Saved Blossom, Alberta and Most of the Rest of the World as Well,” wherein space ships full of blue coyotes come to rescue the distraught Indians from Earth. Throughout his collection, King maintains the coyote/Indian, and whitemanllndian relationships, using each to emphasize and examine images of Natives in our society.

forces an examination of non-Native culture as well. “A seat in the garden” both ridicules the common notion of Indian-as-drunkard and subtly points to problems created by non-Natives wishing to champion their cause and promote their culture. The main character in “A seat in the garden” is a “big Indian” who does. nothing but stand in Joe Hovaugh’s (Jehovah) corn patch and recite: “If you build it, they will come,” an obvious reference to W.P. Kinselia’s Shoelessjoe (known in movie form as Field ofDreams). Kinsella, of course, is also well known for writing from a Native perspective, although he is not Native himself. To King, the only real advocates of Native culture must be the Natives themselves. And with these stories, King upholds his cause well. Even without the political undertones of the stories, however, One Good Story, That One, is a profound and engaging book, offering us a view into a culture that we rarely see. And while it is difficult to separate the politics from the fiction, the fiction stands on its own. Each story has it’s own identity and individual thrust, yet together, the collection makes a powerful statement. Faults are most difficult to find. Native American oral culture may be dying out with each new generation, as is most Native cutture, butOne, Good Story, That One proves that stotytelling remains a foundation and 2 strength of many Native people. These are good stories, these ones.

A collection of stories written from a tradition infused with storytelling, One Good Story, Thut One draws the contemporary Canadian reader into the much misunderstood and abused culture of Native North Americans. With wit and subtlety, King crafts his stories around the images we all have of Natives, using his own Native heritage to counter those beliefs. King’s stories consistently confront and surprise with both biting comment and wonderful turns of phrase, complementing each other perfectly and collecting into a marvellous book These stories are superb. Opening with the title story, One Good Story, That One sets out its parameters immediately. The title story centres around the Native narrator’s telling of a story, a Native creation story, to a group of “white toothed,” white anthropologists. Written in a dialect of english peculiar to Native people, with plenty short sentences, those ones, the story builds on the white men’s desire to hear an authentic Native story about creation, and the narrator’s aversion to those stories. At stake in this story, and throughout the collection, are the differing images contemporary sociev have of Natives and those Natives have of themselves. King’s narrator plays with the white men’s intrusion into his culture by summoning the image of the tradi-

Alison Shaw returned home to Portsmouth from Liverpool University in 1986, at which time she formed the Cranes with her brother Jim, with whom she shared the same musical tastes. Within a year they had recorded and independently released “Fuse,” on cassette only. At this point they secured a loan from the bank, bought some equipmerit, recorded “Self-non Self,” another independent release, and played their first gig, in Portsmouth. Soon after, guitarist Mark Francombe joined the band. John Peel began to take an interest in the band when “Self- non Self’ was re-released on a local label, resulting in their first Peel session. Roadie Matt Cope began playing with the band in late 1989, and the lineup has remained consistent since then. Alison sings and plays bass, Jim plays everything but stick to drums while on tour, and Mark and Matt both play guitar. The Shaw siblings write ajl of that beautiful music.

to support them in North America and Europe. It was in Toronto’s Skydome in July 1992 that I was first turned on to the mesmerizing sounds of this band. I’ll always remember getting to my seat after the opening band, who I had heard nothing about, had started, and hearing this magnificent sound. I looked up to see some guy with dreadlocks on guitar, and a beautiful woman giving all of her attention to the microphone, with her huge shadow glaring at me from the stadium wall. I didn’t say a word to anyone during the performance, I just kept listening to the simple, repetitive but gorgeous sounds coming from the stage, staring at them so as to comprehend their beauty. I’m sure the Cranes are sick of hearing about it, but they are the Cure’s favourite band. In fact, Simon Gallup,

Alison’s voice has been described as sounding like “a little girl lost in the London subway.” She has, quite simply, the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life. And the music, oh yes, the music. It is sad, happy, dark and light all in one. And, oh yes, it’s fucking intense. The Cranes can do it atl, and do. From the absolute sadness of “Tomorrow’s Tears,” to the uplifting “Jewel,” the Cranes simply must be heard. In May 1990, the Cranes signed on with Dedicated records. The band released two singles in 1990 which

the Cure’s bassist, listened listened to “Wings of Joy” every night before he went on stage to play. Their “jewel” sing14 released in I 993, features a remix of the song by Robert Smith. After the “Wish” tour, the Cranes immediately went back in the studio, inspired by their recent positive experience of the tour, and in May 1993 released “Forever,” thanking the members of the Cure on the sleeve. This remains the best work of the Cranes to date. Utilizing more acoustic guitar than ever, but still using those amazing sarnples and keyboards, the band further

evolved their style. They took this one on the road shortly after, stopping off for an amazing show at Lee’s palace in Toronto in September. Having now seen the Cranes in both a stadium in front of thousands and in a small venue in front of hundreds, I can honestly say that this band is made up of true musicians, always into what they’re doing and always sounding great. Regardless of their accomplishments and obvious talent, many of us feel the Cranes have not gotten the attention they deserve from most musical press. Every week there seems to be a Suede article in the NME or the Melody Maker, but one has to look a little harder to find the same for the Cranes. Nonetheless, they still have achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. I recently wrote to Alison asking her to supply me with some info for this article. In her reply she informed me that the band are once again in the recording studio, working on an album for a hopeful September release, with a possible E.P. out in May. And, yes, my prayers have been answered, the band will again be touring this fall. I would like to once again reiterate the greatness of the Cranes. If you have not heard the mesmerizing sounds of this band, pleae, don’t deny yourself ~ any longer, go out and buy on of their ~ releases. Some of it is great relaxation music, and all of it is amazingly intense. This band stands entirely on their own, and deserve all the success in the world.

Life may have been okay for Bedhead before but it isn’t much fun anymore. They seem kind of unhappy. Oh, what fun life was when Bedhead had that “Unpredictable Landlord” and when they bumped their heads on the *‘Bedside Table”, and did other things that made them sound so melancholy on their debut LP. Our landlord does unpredictable things, like the time we caught him doing funny things on the balcony but l wouldn’t exactly call him the best material for song writing. I also would never call my band Bedhead. Maybe they call themselves Bedhead because they have really bad hair and this would also explain why they don’t include a picture of themselves in the promo package. What you’ll hear from this Dallas band with bad hair is a steady rhythm of mediocre guitar riffs that are a little loud for you to get the greatest potential from the theraputic lyrics. Despite their stupid choice of song titles, the lyrics are quite emotional

One of the most impressive opening acts I’ve ever seen in my life, Chainsaw Kittens opened up for PIL two years ago, booed by‘the crowd as they walked on to stage, and winning the crowd over who cheered for themby the time they left. Angel on the Range is a seven-song album, a taster for their upcoming album that contains the same L.A. alternativerockthey played on stage, although slightly more subdued. Lots of buzzing guitars, some screamed vocals and an ever-so-faint southern feel to it, The Chainsaw Kittens don’t come across as any great act here on vinyl, mostly due to a lack of any really exciting original ideas. Not that bad, but not that great either. Of course the fact that the band has a difficult time translating it’s live feel in the studio isn’t a new problem. Chris Allison (who I know produced at least The Wedding Present) probably wasn’t the best choice as producer. Someone like Butch Vig could have easily given these boys the same fame as Smashing Pumpkins et al.

for their next album they’ll definitely recieve a higher rating. Most of the songs follow a similar structure. They start off with a melodic line and build to what you think will be any interesting explosion but instead loud symbols and guitar drone to the end. “The Bedstand” is the only song that stands out. At least they get excited about what they’re doing and pick up the pace a little. In one word Bedhead can be described as “sleepy” which is also what you may become if you listen to them. Perhaps you’re having trouble getting to sleep at night. Bedhead might be the potential remedy.

Finally, it is here! The Moz is back. “The more you ignore me, the closer I get” was delayed a few times, but it’s finally available now. The Mozzer’s new single is pretty good, but not quite as good as I expected. I guess I just might have astronomically high expectations when it comes to this guy, due to his past solo and Smiths-related work ‘The more you ignore me, the closer I get” is a great song, written by Morrissey and Boz Boorer. This is the

first single co-written by Boorer, instead of co-guitar player Alain Whyte. It sounds more like it’s from his Kill Uncle era, rather than the most recent, and better, Your Arsenal genre. However, the song really kicks. The lyrics are brilliant and the music is intriguing. Any Morrissey fan will appreciate this. “Used to be a sweet boy” is also supposed to turn up on Morrissey’s new album, Vouxhaul and I, due out soon. It’s a very slow and sad song about the past, which reminds me of “Yes, I am blind” and such. “I’d love to” is the only song on this single that won’t eventually be available elsewhere. It’s a neat tune, again very sad and subdued. Some think Morrissey is at his best in these type of songs, but I think he’s best in songs like “Picadilly Palare”and “You’re gonna need someone on your side.” Morrissey is back and yes, of course he’s redundant (unlike when he was in the Smiths) but that’s OK, because that’s how we love him. He still has more integrity in his little finger than Bryan Adams or Guns n Roses have in their entire bodies. The Moz has something to say that’s important (usually).

Sass Jordan’s music gives me the biggest boner, even if she sounds like the Black Crowes, and kind of looks like them too. This Canadian rilly struts her stuff on this very impressive third release, Rats. Rots being her follow-up release to the platinum Rocine, generating 3 top ten hits in Canada and the U.S. is a kick-ass collection of songs that really confirm that Sass is a Goddess.

1. -5 by Greg Hood-Morris Imprint stag Well, the general consensus of the quality of this single can be summed up in the gigantic mix-up surrounding the circumstances of my getting it. I asked for the Inspirals newest single,

sick of. The first single that is getting a fair bit of airplay is the high-energy track “High Road Easy”. This is not by far the best track though; my favourite is the slower more optimistic tune “Sun’s Gonna Rise”. Sass’ beautiful voice with the acoustic backup on this track gets me hot and bothered! “Pi&n’ Down” hits the depths of being in love with a heroin junkie. The combination of slow and heavy guitars with Sass’ incredible emotional elements makes this one of the outstanding tracks. “Breakin” is another slower tune that I hope to see come out as a single. “Ugly” is joined by funk-man, George Clinton (Oh, the irony), and starts off kind of bluesy but quickly takes on a hard quick beat with Sass’ sensual raspy voice. “I’m Not” sounds like a song that could have easily come from Racine (that’s a good thing) and I think would make another good single from the album. Rats lives up to Sassjordan ability and will continue her previous string of hits. I’m impressed and enthraled with this fine collection. I love the album; buy it, make love to it, do naughty thing to it, play with the liner notes but most importantly..... listen to the music.

have a fuller sound. At least they are beginning to sound less like a heavy metal band, and more like a real group.

On the cover is a gouged eyeball next to a fork, on the inside is a catalogue of other fine Sony recordings by Prong, as well as other Sony artists Sly and the Family Stone, the Hollies, Johnny Mathis, Liberace, and others. The irony is stupid. Prong is an extremely hard hitting band whose sound can be compared to a blend between Mijtorhead and White Zombie, perhaps more even more atonal and dissonant. Their sound hasn’t mellowed for this release, and if anything sounds more full, perhaps due to new members Paul Raven, former KillingJoke bassist, and a former Pigface keyboardist. The album definitely grows with subsequent listens, The first song ‘Another Worldly Device” hits you in the gut musically with sharp chords, hazy vocals, and multiple layers of guitarwork The next songs “Whose Fist IS This Anyway” and “Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” are vaguely pointless, but other songs like “Cut-Rate”

“Saturn Five”, but instead I was given this one which was actualy released last summer. I showed it to my friend when he picked me up from school. He said, “Oh, is that the new Inspiral Carpets single?” I pointed out, for the second time in a day, that it was released last summer. I took it home, and my girl friend looked at it and said, “Is that the new lnspiral Carpets single!” I pointed out once again that it was not. Thus, from this story we can only deduce that the reason nobody knows “How it Should Be” is because the single stiffed. And why, we may ask, did it stiff? Because it was boring, and totally third-rate lnspiral Carpets, with lame chord progressions, and un”inspiral”lead singing from singer Tom Hingley. Thank God that Saturn Five is so much better.

I simply cannot believe that I forced myself to listen all the way through such a load of unadulterated crap. Why I didn’t just shut it off and throw it out I don’t know. I must have been sick at the time and unable to reach the machine. The cassette features eight cuts, but this is misleading. There are really only four different songs, but these are redone as mixes. One song (and I use the term loosely) is represented three different ways! If you don’t Ii ke it once, chances are you won’t like it the second or third time around, and I didn’t like them any time. My notes for this carry such descriptive terms as “boring”, “yawn”, “repetitious”, “stuck record”, “garbage”, and “crap”. I’m sure you get the point by now. Why any record label signed these musicians (and I use the term loosely, again) is beyond me. You can’t even dance to this so-called dance music. Stay away, for your own good. There are no redeeming qualities to be found here.

This is one of the more unique records I’ve heard recently. I can say that much with certainty, but I’m not sure whether this is a really good record or a really lousy one. After seeing the cover, 1 was expecting some kind of speed metat. But I was quite wrong, nothing that easy to review. Cosmodrome is like an alternative rock opera, with a wide variety of material. Between the songs are a series of vignettes, both musical and dramatic. Some of the music is a kind of cowboy blues, and the rest is wacky alternative stuff. The songs remind me a bit of old Wall of Voodoo material. The narrative that runs between the songs and loosely connects them is pretty well done. I expected to be bored of it the second time I listened to the tape, but 1 wasn’t Phony crowd noise, a proud club owner bragging that he discovered the band, a seduction followed by a brief S 81M scene and a stupid message left on an answering machine are among the vignettes. Some of it is pretty funny. Both the music and the drama (if we can call it that) are playful enough to be moderately entertaining. The instrumental songs are better musically that the others, being more melodic. But it was all okay.

The Kitchener-Waterloo area is really no different than the rest of the world when it comes to musical trends. Beside a few exceptions, most bands follow traditional musical lines, not varying too much from standard AOR. Fortunately, Malibu Stacey is an exception, and quite a good one at that. Their independent EP release is probably one of the most adventerous things that K-W has seen. It’s hard to classiv, funk is a key concept, but it’s not quite Parliament. The most striking song “What Do You Want Now?” manages to meld a funky bass, jazz guitar, and almost rap-like vocals for a unique sound reminiscient at times of RHCP, but not as derivative as most. There’s a good deal of variety on this release, with songs such as “All My Life” ending in a good round of shitkicking rock, “I Didn’t Realize” is a bit slower, and the album ends in a brief tribute to New York jazz experimenteur John Zorn. With a willingness to break new ground, Malibu Stacey will hopefully prove that it’s possible to make good interesting music and gain a faithful audience at the same time.

3-5 bg JenCharci Imprint sta I must admit that I picked up this single because I liked how the cover looked on the record shop wall. I had read a bit about the band St Etienne, but not enough to even consider buying one of their records. I received a very pleasant surprise about hearing this. These guys sound like Depeche Mode meets The Other Two, which is a compliment when it is a comes from me. “Pale Movie” beautiful song with great keyboards and a good beat. Alas, it seems like St Etienne are following in the footsteps of fellow Brits New Order, by putting three different versions of the single as the B-sides for it. In this case that’s akay,

though.

because

the

versions

are

all different enough to warrant individual listening. The “Stentonian Dub” version is a beautiful instrumental by the band. This trio exemplify a great mix of British alternative and dance music.
