After months of speculation, Ontario university students have had their worst fears realised. Following an announcement Wednesday Goming by Ontario Finance Minister Floyd Laughren that the province would maintain its transfer payments to the provinces without any cuts, Education and Training Minister Dave Cooke announced an increase in tuition fees. Laughren cited the demand for more spaces for students and “maintaining quality programs” as the reason for increasing tuition. The numbers are as follows: in the 1994-95 academic year, tuition for undergraduate arts and science students will increase by $202 to $2,228 for two academic terms. In I 995-96, tuition fees for undergraduate arts and science students will increase by $223 to $2,245 I. The above tuition numbers do not take into account incidental fees such use of the Physical Activities Complex, WPIRG and Imprint, nor does it include the proposed ancillary fees or take into account co-op fees, In order to compensate for the added strain to students’ pocketbooks, Cooke also announced that OSAP will take into account increases in tuition. Cooke will also be pursuingthe income-contingent loan repayment program with the Federal govern-

added Carasco. OUSA representative Rick Martin added that “out of all the announcements made, students are the only ones getting the knife. The hospitals, boards and administrators are off the hook.” Students are the lowest common denominator when it comes to funding. Cost cutting at the top eventually finds its way down to those who actually want the service. While the decision was met by almost universal antipathy, the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) welcomed the decision. The council has been advocating increased tuition fees for undergraduate and graduate programs, supported by ICLRP. “Although the tuition fee increase is not as significant as we would have liked, it is an encouraging first step in the right direction,” said Dr. Peter George, president of CC% Jim Kalbfleisch, ws vice-president academic and provost was relieved that the situation was not as bad as it could have been. “I think that the province is in a very tough spot, they don’t have the revenues+ we know that, and it could’ve been a lot worse. The media has been painting a very gloomy picture, and I think that tuition hikes were inevitable.”

An incident which occurred outside of Fed Hall last friday night is under investigation by campus security and may lead to charges being laid against two Board of Entertainment (Bent) security guards. Two patrons were left with multiple injuries including a broken wrist after they were reportedly punched to the ground following a concert at Fed Hall. The incident started when a Fed hall patron tried to reenter the building to look for a member of his

party at around I : I5 am. The Fed Hall staff member at the front desk repeatedly told the patron to wait outside and restrained him when the patron started to get verbal. The patron was then released, but when a second Fed Hall staff member arrived at the scene, the original staff member accused the patron of trying to kick him. This iead to the patron and one of his friends, also standing at the front desk, to be physically lead down the ramp and out the door by 2 to 3 other Fed Hall staff members. According to the patrons, once they were outside of Fed Hall two

guys are an embarrassment’*. This provoked one of the guards to strike the patron in the mouth causing him -to fall and break his wrist The other guard hit the other patron causing him to fall and strike his head on the ground, knocking him unconscious. The Bent security guards then reentered Fed Hall. The patron with the broken wrist ran to the phone booti at the bus stop outside of the University Club. When he returned he realized that his friend needed medical attention, he opened the door to Fed Hall where the Bent security guards were standing and requested that they call an ambulance. The security guards reportedly told the patron to “go home”. Campus security and ambulance staff then arrived at the scene aftetwhich the patrons were taken away by ambulance and later released. The patron with the broken wrist also had cuts in his mouth and a sore jaw. The other patron had facial bruising, a deep cut in his mouth, and a bump on his head where he hit the ground. Statements were collected by UW security from the patrons and numerous witnesses.

The investigation is still under way, but if campus security feels that there are grounds for charges to be laid they will present their report to the crown attorney, according to director of UW security Al Mackenzie. He also stated that they are currently talking to witnesses in order to determine how the patrons’ injuries were caused and he confirmed that the twa Bent security guards in question have been identified, but would not release their names to Imprint Subsequently, we could not reach them for comment. Fed Hall manager Chuck McMullan said that as the incident occurred outside of his establishment and did not involve any of his staff, he would make no comments. Emmanuel Patterson, director of programming for Bent, decided to hold off commenting on the incident until action is taken by campus security. Friends of the patrons describe them as being laid back and easy going and not the kind to start trouble. The main question about the incident is why the Bent security guards were outside of Fed Hall when they

They’re just about ready to say good-bye, after a year of learning, growing and of *‘presiding*’ over student affairs at the University of Waterloo. Catherine Coleman, president of the Federation of Students, George Van Nooten, VP of finance and operations, and Sharon Flood, VP of university affairs, have submitted their yearend reports and are ready to move on and out of their offices in Fed offices. “Ninety per cent of my time was spent in meetings,” says Coleman, and Van Nooten agrees that there seem to

Among Sharon Flood’s accomplishment are the establishment of a new l-800 number for PALS and an expansion of the Food Bank “I’ve learned how to manage money and how to save,” says Van Nooten, who has managed to keep the Fed’s budget in the black thus far. Last year the budget was overdrawn by almost $ 200,000. Currently, profits are at almost $400,000, even though only a few businesses, such as Fed Hall and Scoops, were able to make profits. Graphix Factory, the Music Source, and the Post Office have not been so successful. Along with the Bombshelter and the Campus Shop, whose profits have decreased significantly, their year-end review is less than rosy. Van Nooten blames the losses mainly on the construction work in the Campus Centre, which has made the Campus Shop less accessible.

Sharon Flood feels that the year’s biggest challenge was dealing with the tuition increases. “We had to make sure that we had an effective voice,” says Flood. As part of OUSA, the Feds helped publish a report that was presented to Queen’s Park, and they feel that the issue was handled well by QUSA. Speaking for all students collectively at committe meetings was not a problem even though “you don’t always have the luxury of stating your opinion,” says Coleman. Student council provides an effective system of checks and balances. “If they approve or disapprove, they’ll let us know,” says Flood. “I found it scary at first to be the only student on some committees,” admits Van Nooten. “But I got used to iL” Among some of Coleman’s accomplishments are that Student Advising Co-op was placed under the Fed Board of Academic Affairs.

Women’s Health expert explains FGM tZkZ’ places

in I

contest

by Karu Richardson, Raquel David and Tammy Speers special to Imprint As part of this year’s International Women’s Week events, the Womyn’s Centre invited Hawa Mohamed from Women’s Health in Women’s Hands to speak about Female Genital Mutilation (FCM). FGM is sometimes referred to as female circumcision. This is not incorrect, but it can obscure an understandinn of what the practice involves. Fern& Genital Muiilation is done in three ways. sunna or Type 1, called clitoridectomy is the least severe form of the practice. The prepuce of the clitoris, or the clitoral hood, is removed, preserving the clitoris itself and the posterior larger parts of the labia minora. Type II called reduction or excision is a severe form of mutilation. This operation consists of the removal of the prepuce and the glans of the clitoris together with adjacent parts of the labia major-a and without closure ofthe vulva. Type Ill, called pharaonic circumcision of infibulation is the most severe form of the practice and consists of excision and infibulation of the vulva, Excision involves the surgical removal of the whole of the clitoris, the labia minora and the adjacent medial part of the labia majora in their anterior twothirds. The two sides of the vulva are then stitched together. The introitus is obliterated leaving only a small opening to allow urinary and menstrual flow. This stitching together of the vulva after excision is called infibulation.

The origin of FGM is uncertain, but it seems to have been practised in Ancient Egypt, possibly as a puberty rite. Today it is known to be performed in 27 African countries, 7 Asian countries and in Latin America, Europe, North America, North Australia - as more is found out about this practice the list of countries where it is performed grows.

Often these societies are Islamic. However, there is no special mention of female circumcision in the Koran and torture is prohibited in the Islamic faith. The immediate health effects of the practice include shock, infection and failure of healing, tetanus, blood poisoning, injury or trauma to adjoining organs, haemorrhage and urine re-

In Somalia and Djibouti, 100% of the women must have FGM performed There are many reasons set out to justify the custom. These include: to ensure chastity before marriage; the decrease risk of mania-nymphomania; to reduce sex feelings and masturbation; to improve and facilitate cleanliness; for the purpose of increasing fertility; to tighten the vagina, increase sexual feelings for men; as ritual into social groups, tribes, religious orders; to confer the right to speak at public meetings in some tribes; to permit admission to the mosque in some communities; because girls cannot get husbands in some tribes without genital mutilation; to avoid the disgrace of the not mutilated woman where the practice is customary. Most of the societies that practice Female Genital Mutilation say that the practice stems from religious belief.

tention. The long term health effects include scarring, vulva1 cysts and abscesses, pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, painful menstruation, an accumulation of blood in the uterus and vagina, painful intercourse, recurrent urinary tract infection, difficulty with urination. It can cause severe problems during childbirth because the vaginal opening is so tiny. Often women are re-infibulated after giving birth, which means that there is more cutting and re-stitching of the labia majora. In rural areas crude instruments such as kitchen knives, razor blades or pieces of glass are used. Stitching may be done with silk or cat gut, or with thorns. Girls may have their legs bound together for up to forty days to allow scar tissue to form over the wound. Girls can be as young as eight days old

when the opelcation is performed. In Somalia and Djibouti, 100% of the women must have FGM performed. The Ontario Government has begun a task force, of which Hawa Mohamed is the co-chair, to address this problem because it affects women and children who live in Canada right now and because it is a gross violation of human rights. It is an act of violence against women and an act of violence against children. The objectives of Ontario’s task force include a law against taking a child out of Canada for the purpose of having the operation performed (because it is illegal in Canada), education and pushing for formal United Nations recognitions that this practice violates human rights. One of the concerns of the feminist movement regarding this practice is to address it in a way that is not racially offensive. As Hawa Mohamed explained when she spoke, feminists and other people who are concerned should not be afraid to take a stand on this issue. She stressed that objecting to this practice is a matter of child protection. She also said that she felt that the failure to act to protect black children at risk of mutilation would be a form of racism. However, Western, whitefeminists should know that there are women in the countries where Female Genital Mutilation is practised that have organized against the practice. While they need our support and appreciate our involvement, they do not need us to lead their struggle. If you woufd like more information regarding Female Genital Mutilation, please contact the Womyn’s Centre at x 3457.

U of T’s Student’s Administrative Council (SAC) had been a founding member of OUSA but suspended their membership last fall over representation issues.

Yes-to-OUSA organiser Rick Martin, however, criticised Spanglett, calling him a socialist, and noting that OUSA is not a dead issue at U of T. “The first thing to remember is that SAC policy hasn’t changed yet. The new directors [are] not a socialist

Harassment policy rejected If someone wants to steal your bike, has the appropriate tools and the opportunity, there is little that can be done to stop them. This however does not mean that we are at the mercy of the bike thief; there are several techniques and tools we can use to our advantage. The following tips are taken from an article in New York City Cyclist (NYC has the best bike thieves in the world!), the staff at Cyclepath, and a pamphlet from the Toronto Cycling Committee (T.O. probably has the second best bikethieves in theworld!). The reason bikes are stolen is for their resale value, except for unlocked bikes which are nabbed by opportunistic joyriders. The newer, fancier, and nicer looking your bike, the more likely it is to get ripped off. If you are lucky enough to have an expensive bike, try giving it a home paint job, or personalize it withstickers, this will make your bike more recognizable and may disguise its value. The majority of bike thefts occur at home so just because yourbike is in your backyard, on your porch, or mean it’s in your garage doesn’t home free. Lock it up, especially over night. The N.Y.C. City Cyclist recommends a hardened steel chain and padlock (you can tell if the steel is hardened if a file won’t bite into it): To be effective, chains must be pulled tight so clippers and leverage bars can’t be fit in. The most widely recommended

and used locks are “U” locks but, thieves have also developed means of breaking into them. If you decide to go for the convenienceofaU lockconsiderputting a “7 shaped piece of pipe over the locking side. A lighter and more expensive gadget called the bullet is also available. Either ofthese will prevent a would-be bike thief from putting a pipe overyour lock and wrenching it free. Filling up as much of the inside space of the lock as possible is also important for preventing a lock from being pried open. Be wary of warranties for these locks they all require either the broken lock or proof of faultiness. Better than a chain or a U lock is a combination of locks. This makes it more difficult, time consuming, and therefore less appealing to a thief. Lock it or take it with you Quick releases and other removable parts make easy targets; lock them qr carry them with you, and never lock just the wheel. It’s I 1 o’clock, do you knowwhere your bike is ? Where you lock your bike is as important as what you lock it with. Be particularly careful about leaving your bike at night. Well lit, well ttavelled areas are the only place to leave a valuable bike. Locking your bike to itself simply means that a thief can take it and work on it in the comfort of their own home. Always lock it to something solid. Wooden posts and chain link fences don’t count To be safe, don’t leave your bike in one place over a long period. Check your insurance policies.

Your bike may be covered under your tenants policy (something mosi renters neglect to purchase) or YOUI parents’ house policy Keep in mind there is usually a size. able deductible ($200). Due to in. creased claims and scams for bike insurance, some companies may re quit-e a specific policy for your bike Make sure you have a receipt, the serial number, and the make ant model of your bike. Write down alI the info and keep it in a safe place. Get MAD! If you are somewhere that doesn’t have useful bike locking facilities, give them hell, threaten to take your business elsewhere, write City Hall, and demand that cyclists get due consideration. Motorists just got a huge parking garage in Uptown Waterloo, and we get more stolen bikes. In short, “the more brute force in your locking system, the uglier and less valuable your bike, the more parts you take with you, and the less often you leave it -the less likely your bike is to get stolen” (N.Y. City Cyclist March/April 1993).

News f~ksjbm the Dalhousie Gazette with

Proponents of free speech are breathing easier at Dalhousie University, Halifax, this weekafter their Board of Governors overturned a proposed anti-harassment policy. Supporters of the policy, however, were not pleased. “I think we’re clearly further away from an effective policy,” said Sue Sherwin, professor of philosophy. Sherwin and five others had been working on the policy since 1990 and had previously gained support from Dalhousie’s senate. The committee had been working under the premise that there must be limits on free speech to protect women and minorities from abusive attacks. The Board of Governors, evidently, did not agree. “It was jeopardizing freedom of speech,” said George MacDonald, a member of the board and Halifax lawyer. “1 don’t think there should be a different policy on the Dalhousie campus from that which exists of it [in

Canadian law].” MacDonald also took issue with the method by which complaints were to be heard. According to the policy, a hearing committee would be set up comprising of six people “chosen on the basis of their credibility with the various constituencjes affected...and their sensitivity to the issues.” “I envision a committee predominantly comprised of minorities,” said MacDonald, adding that they would have a predisposition to a particular point of view. “That doesn’t seem to me to be a method by which you ensure objectivity,” said another member of the board, lawyer Peter Bryson. Sherwin argued that the hearing committee has no real power other than to advise and accused the board of governors of lacking interest in the policy. Eric McKee, chair of the committee which proposed the policy said that their job is now over. “Our job was not to decide, but to propose. A decision’s been made,” he iaid.

Good luck! This article brought to you by Recycle Cycles, a WPIRG working group. Our principle goal is to put unused or dump-bound bikes back on the road.

Back in December of I99 I, Sandy Atwal, to whom I witl soon pass the imprint torch, wrote a fine piece on the irrationality of vegetarianism. I only admit it to be fine because it motivated me to write a letter to the editor (being my predecessor Peter 8rown). Not having been initiated into the conservative underworld of Imprint by that time, I went on about how it is immoral to ’ kill animals for their meat. In fact, I wrote this: “Sandy lapses in his assertion that he himself kills the animals he eats. While he could offer up some palsy economic argument that ‘I paid for it therefore I did it;’ !he fact remains that he doesn’t actually kill his meat. 1 doubt he ever has, ever will, or even could look into the eyes of a frightened cow and proceed to beat it into unconsciousness and cut its throat.” I was really bathing- in the pathos on that one. However, what I did then assert is that Sandy’s guilty feelings over factory farming were baskd on his very guilt for supporting them, which was, in my view immoral. What I was doing was the classic “projecting my morals onto someone else and not giving them the chance to think for thernselv&.” Of course, I did leave Sandy the choice, in my letter, of disagreeing with me, but what choice is it if I am to condemn him for not choosing my set of morals. And that is the problem with many activists and the movements they support These people, and yes I was one of them, don’t allow for free-discussion on issues or really ever consider the other sides arguments as viable in any way. The way this happens is people get moral issues tied up with every other issue. Thus it becomes immoral to cdmplain about feminists, or advocate logging, or fight for or against abortion clinics. But, as we all know, morals are entirely relative, meaning that what you take to be moral/immoral is not what every or anyone else takes as such. To decide what is best for the world based on your moral values, then, is basically saying “if I ran the world, this is how it would be.” Which is ludicrous. Other people than you and me live in this world and we must take them into account, including how they would see things run. This is not to say that you should not believe in anything, rather, if you do believe in something, don’t tell others they are wrong for believing what they do. Debate and discussion are the only way to improve things, not throwing up your position and defending it to the end because- it is morally superior. So if I were t6 re$y to Sandy’s vegetarianism feature today what would I say? I would probably tell him that I don’t agree with factory farming, and that the health benefits of eating vegetables are greater than those of eating meat. But I wouldn’t tell him it is immoral to eat meat, because it is not It is simply a choice one has the opportunity to make. I’ve decided not to eat meat but I don’t like the term vegetarian, for the very reason that it pegs me as one who views meat eating as bad bad bad. I am simply an individual who doesn’t eat meat. Sandy is an individual who does eat meat And I think we can communicate and exist peacefully on those terms, as should al I those other individuals out there.

debates is a heated discussion over the difference between two things that are not actually that different ‘My big example is: young people in Ontario, being any combination of male or female, straight or gay, face a lifetime of dreary struggle against the misconceptions of those that perceive us from different age groups and different social classes.

No one group entertains a greater influence since we’re all in the same boat; this is on top of the fact that we’re born into perhaps one of the safest, most liberal societies on earth. I personally don’t see any difference between myself and my classmates, besides on the fine points of personal taste and perception, and that’s ali that they are - fine points. The biggest opposing force is that of peopie who resist knowledge of contemporary issues due either to stubbornness, pride, or a desired ignorance of other persons’ convictions. The education is out there, however I believe that the idea that most people walk through life with open eyes absorbing whatever they come across is incorrect. There are a lot of people out there who don’t give a shit about me. It’s not the fact that they resent the fact that I’ve been to university, or that I’m white, or that I’m male, or that on a given day I might be wearing a mauve shirt: they just don’t give a shit about me because they don’t understand me. I have the option of forcing an individual to learn about me, but who can force a person to learn something that they don’t want to learn about?

Women’s week fights backlash To the editor= International Womyn’s Week has originated into a week long celebration from March 8, designated International Womyn’s Day.Adayforwomynallaround the world to unite in peace and sisterhood, a day for womyn to celebrate their victories and mourn the victims of a patriarchal war against womyn - everywhere. Womyn in Bosnia, Berlin, Bejing, Mexico, Africa, Toronto, Waterloo, every city and country in the world, are united in the feelings of pride, joy and sorrow. It is not a time to segregate the sexes, it is one week where womyn are given the voices to speak out against the atrocities afilitated with being a Womyn of Colour, or being a Lesbian or a Womyn with Disabiliities, or just being aWomyn. You’re right, there shouldn’t be a Womyn’s week, we shouldn’t need a week to speakout or celebrate - it should be International Womyn’s Day every day. But because there is a backlash against womyn in every part of the world in the form of physical and mental/verbal violence - then we as womyn need a forum where we can be heard around the globe, and a time where “lesbians and feminists can plead their cases”. It doesn’t matter that you three womyn don’t believe there should be an International Womyn’s Week or that the rag wasn’t “composed of issues important to all womyn” because there are womyn who feel that the rag was representative of all womyn. Rape and sexual harassment are very important issues that need to be addressed but they are by no means the only issues that affect womyn. International Womyn’s Week is a time for a lot of Womyn to reflect, rejoice and celebrate our womynhood. (But you would not know how many womyn feel strongly about the importance of this week unless you attended any of the events on campus or in the community, or even spoke to any womyn who have their own private celebrations). I am glad Lynn, Deb, and Joanne, that you think womyn have come a long way in recent years, and you may be satisfied with how things are in today’s society for womyn, BUT I AM NOT, and I am not going to stop fighting for what I as a WOMYN believe in and have a right to try and change.

Don’t slander tow truckers To the editor: I resent whenever someone tells me that I live in an ivory tower or that I don’t get any “hands on” experience with the “real world” just because I am a university student Because of this, I feel obliged to show courtesy to the nonuniversity world in return. The March I l’s Imprint’s “Top 5” column was mean-spirited. I did not write about the put-downs of religious studies students, philosophy students or even mature students because I assumed that the columns were written by members of the groups being put down who would actuallyknowtheir?subjectma~r.

I doubt

there are any tow-truck drivers on the Imprint staff and conclude that the humour was driven by bullying rather than humble introspectjon. I would guess that the column ap-

peared because the author had a bad experience with a tow-truck driver. I doubt the author had encountered more than one tow-truck driver and I don’t think a judgment on tow-truck drivers in general can be made from this experience. I take it that the truck driver the author met mishandled his car, Two months ago, our car was towed and not mishandled. If the authorwants to think by induction, he has to count my experience as being as valid as his own. Saying in print that a certain person or group of people only have a grade 4 education is slander in many people’s eyes including the law’s It’s a good thing the author was shrewd enough not to say who he or she was. Sometimes Ifeel constrained by all the political correctness in society, but certain politicians, religious leaders and last week’s Top 5 coiumn make it all seem worthwhile.

rated De La Soul’s performance so poorly. The crowd was hyped (I was pushed and my feet got stepped upon so much during their set) and the beats were there, the rhyming was phat and the mixing was unreal.

Review not true to hip-hop To the editor: My mission today is to blow away some of the cloudy smoke that Greg Andruszczenko has left sitting upon the heads of the De La crew after his concert review published in Imprint (March I I). I guess we should begin with the opening of the concert where Greg’s review misrepresented a few facts. The music supplied prior to the show was mixed by Mastermind from CKLN 88.1 (Ryerson Radio) not AM 640 as mentioned in the review. The negative reaction from the crowd when the AM 640 host stepped onto the stage was because of the fact that the audience was filled with people from the true Canadian hiphop community. These folk do not appreciate or listen to commercial radio mtions that play the odd hip-hop jam but do not support the hip-hop communiv unless a quick buck can be made. Their supporr was clearly with the college radio sound crew as they roared when they asked who was down with “The Power Move” (CKLN hip-hop show) and “The Masterplan” (CIUT - UofT’s hip-hop show). AM 640 doesn’t even have a hiphop show, so t don’t know why they were in on the concert but that’s another story. The show began with De La throwing down mad hits. Plug I (Posdonous) and Plug 2’s (Trugroy the Dove) were extremely slick on the mic as they went back and forth through time, spinning hits such as Me, Myself and I, Ego Trippin’, Breakadawn, and Ring, Ring, Ring. Their flow was phat and the crowd really into it (I don’t why Greg thought that the crowd was dirsing them). I spent some time after reading Greg’s review trying to figure out why he

The show was geared towards hiphoppers who were down with the music’s roots. Back in the day, hip-hop was about MC’s just flowin on the mic, DJ’s throwin’ down cuts and mixes and everybody have a good time appreciating mad skills. Now, the music is being promoted by money-hungry people who look at the hip-hop world from the outside, read a few biographies, catch a few episodes of Rap City and claim that they can rock a mic.

Atheist denies reality To the edito,r= This is concerning Craig Nickerson’s article Friday March I I as the Village Atheist While Craig might claim that Christians deny the reality of death, I, as a Christian, claim that he is denying the reality of eternal life. It seems to me that, if there is eternal life, he will have to do something about it (such as changing his lifestyle) and so as an excuse not to, he denies it Also, I agree that sex can be good, but only in marriage. I wish that Mr. Nickerson would respect “one of the best things life has to offer**, and not treat it as a cheap commodity, I agree that Christians who say such things concerning death as “It was God’s will” and “She has gone to a better place” are insensitive to the feelings of the peck ple suffering the loss. But this is in no way promoted by the Bible, which encourages us, in Romans 12; IS, to “Rejoice with those who rejoice: mourn with those who mourn.” Also, the shortest verse of

Not for YOU, Paddy To the editor: I think our good friend Paddy has forgotten what UWs Battle of the Bands is all about 1am sorry that his personal favourite band, My Neighbor Ned, didn’t win. Shit happens. This doesn’t give him right to vent his frustrations on the other performers, Calling Bertha’s Attic a “shit poor performance,” and then not justifying it is the making of poor journalism. Next time be critical, for example: the bass was out of tune, the keyboard wasn’t turned on, or the vocalist needs to work on his harmonies, or whatever. Next, he cuts up Wayside Lisa, the winners of the contest Then, he honourably mentions Joe Farmer, who didn’t play Hny original material, whereas the other bands did. Battle of the Bands is a chance for UW students to show off their hidden musical talents like the art shows of our fine arts majors {fourth year show is going on right now at the KW gallery). Cutting up our fellow students’ efforts with nq constructive criticisms, doesn’t do anyone any good. Photos of the top two bands weren’t even shown in the article, just Pat’s mm personalbvourites. I have friends in severai of these bands and I know they all worked hard for their performances. I am aware of the alleged intetference by Bent on the choice of the final winner. I’m also aware of judge biases from years past Perhaps it is more than just Pat who has lost sight of this event’s purpose. I always figured that it was a student showcase for students to have a good time, not a contest to see who can bring in the bucks and/or piss People off. The show brought in many genres of music,

I happened to read your review of Maestro Fresh Wes’ new album and i was a little confused. I really wonder if the employees of the Imprint actually do music reviews of music genres they enjoy or actually listen to, or do people like Greg Krafchick just get off writing pathetic reviews that say nothlng to defend or critique the artist’s product Instead, they make lame attempts to write something that apparently passes as a constructive criticism of an album. I really thought that the so-called Vap” that Greg wrote, which was really a poorattempt in humouring the reader, just went to prove how little Greg must listen to rap; come on the guy can’t even rhyme. I saw no evidence that he had even listened to the album; he never mentioned any of the songs to prove so. I think that people who appreciate rap, like B-Mellow or anybody who actually listens to rap or likes it, should be in charge of reviewing this particular style of music. The same constant, steady beat Greg claimed to have heard through every song must be the ringing in his head from when he was dropped as a child because Maestro Fresh West a native Torontonian, has produced an excellent album that deserves much better than a 1.5. I hope that in the future, Mr. Editor, you and your staff will make more of an effort to filter out biased articles that have no justification of the writer% opinion. Music reviews should give people an idea of how good or bad an album is, not how ignorant the writer is.

I have been impressed by the beauty of this country and the kindness of its people. But being without my bike is like having no warm underwear during the cold Canadian winter. I would like to return to Germany this coming summer but without that bitter taste in my mouth that reminds me of American beer. If anyone has information concerning the whereabouts of my bicycle, or preferably if it could be returned to my home at 24 Ezra, there would be no questions asked.

Atheist bashes Christians

by Couckuyt, Green, Lippert, h&bitt, Spacek

To the editor= Your weekly section, “The Village Atheist”, a column by Craig Nickerson should be renamed “The Village Christian-Rasher”. Is Craig really presenting an atheist’s point of view? No. Did he write the article with critical thinking, intellectual reasoning...and research! No. Does he know the basis of Christianity, which is essentially the love of Jesus Christ for mankind-not condemnation, alienation, and judgement? Definitely no! It’s very sad that ignorance, misguidance, and false claims arise from Christian misconceptions and lack of wisdom. As a Christian, Craig-bashing after reading his article(s) is senseless but I strongly encourage him to constructively put more time and thought in analyzing atheism and Christianity. It seems his views are non-reflective of either of those beliefs. If “The Village Atheist” can convince readers how atheism works, why it is relevant, and on what basis it explains the meaning/purpose of life, then the column may deserve a place in Imprint.

Algonquin feature misleads

Park has been logged since the 1830’s. Part of the original mandate of the park was to protect forests from farming and settlement, while preserving them for logging. One company even asked the Government of Ontario at the time to include its lands within the Park boundary.

To the editor: I am writing this in response to Dava McKay’s article in the March I8 issue of Imprint entitled “Algonquin Park isThreatened”, immediately caught my eye, as Algonquin Park is and always will be a place dear to my heart. I worked there for two summers as an Interpretive Naturalist at the Visitor Centre. Park interpreters are responsible for informing the public about the natural and human history of Algonquin. As a naturalist I wish to expose the blatant misinformation given in Dava McKay’s article. I would first like to make clear that I agree with the sentiments that motivate McKay’s article and the Wildlands League. I once heard chain saws on a canoe trip in the northwest corner of the Park, and I was not pleased. I am not a development monger either, but I do sit on wooden chairs in the Bombshelter like everyone else. The area now occupied by Algonquin

Logging in Algonquin in the 1800’s was obviously not the same as it is now. The largest white pine were taken with no regard for future consequences. Forestry in the Park is different today, but like any development practice it could have some negative effect on natural life. McKay’s claim that “the method of management used today can be just as destructive to different ecosystems in the park” is completely unfounded, ft is not exactly clear what the Wildlands League means when they say that current selective cut logging methods “ ...encourage the regrowth of the featured species, often at the expense of the other species currently existent in the stand,” The predominant species logged in Algonquin’s west side is the sugar maple. The sugar maple has an “ecological monopoly’*, forcing some other trees to isolated stands formed by luckand favourable conditions, while others exist in small numbers scattered amongst the maple.

natural state of the forest for over a thousand years. True, up until the last century there were a few white pine towering over the sugar maple, and they got there only because occasional fires temporarily suppressed the sugar maple from shading out young pines. These big white pine are all but gone now, and I too lament their loss, but that is irrelevant in the present issue. If you take a walk through a typical west side forest, you will see that just about all the trees around you are sugar maple. Cutting a few of them out cannot elevate the sugar maple’s position higher than it already is, nor should such logging adversely affect the other trees scattered about in small numbers throughout the forest. The same argument applies to Algonquin’s east side, where mostly the abundant white pine are togged, It is true that only 15% of the Park is officially protected from logging. However, of the 75% “available” for logging, not all can be logged (for instance, IS% of the Park is covered by water). The Wildlands League also ignores the fact that only about I% of Algonquin Park is logged each year. Roadkills on interior logging roads are rare, which is not surprising because traffic is not at all heavy. Also, the insinuation that more logging roads will open up interior lakes to excessive fishing is utter nonsense. Logging roads are not open to the public, even as staff we were not normally allowed to drive on them for such innocent activities as bird-watching. With regard to logging roads causing problematic pollution, erosion, and sedimentation I would like to see the studies out of professional interest as a Geological Engineer. I have heard of nothing of the sort up until now. There is room for several packs of wolves in Algonquin, but some packs stray out of the boundary. I fail to see the relevance of the statistic about I I out of 20 collared wolves dying over the winter. Winter is tough on wolves so moreality is naturally quite high, and they do get shot by redneck farmers outside the park Surely lingering archaic attitudes about wolves are a problem, but this has no& ing to do with management practice in Algonquin Park Dava McKay’s article “Algonquin Park is Threatened” is just another example of alarmist fear mongering by the news media. For those of you interested in Algonquin Park, I encourage you to go there and enjoy it as the wonderful place that it is.

Feminism not victimism

issues and discuss ideas and possible solutions that would be viable for the whole of society. Finally, I would like to say that Feminism does not encourage women to think of themselves as victims. Given that the one of the aims of Feminism is to help women empower themselves, it would have nothing to gain by teaching women that they are simply victims. Feminism does work towards making people aware of structural oppression, which necessarily includes the oppression of men as well as women. However, it also recognizes that these oppressive structures which were created by men have always served men’s interests most directly. This is still the case.

To the editoc This is in response to March I I’s “Metaphysical Education”column. Firstly, I think that most of the women “seminars and dances, blocking roads and demonstrating in the streets” have thought a great a deal about the role men play in society. lf they didn’t, they wouldn’t be demonstrating. As to whether or not this thought is “objective”, I’m not sure. Do you really believe in the possibility of complete “objectivity”? Do you think your own column demonstrates objectivity. If you mean that you wonder if these demonstrating women think of men in other than negative terms, I can say from experience that they do. Most of them are deeply concerned about how “patriarchy” has affected all of our lives-which include women, men, children, animals and the earth. Men did not “do the dirty work” so that women could stay home. They did it under the guises of capitalism and progress. It is more accurate to say that women looked after the maintenance and reproduction of the workforce, while men created the conditions for production and participated in them. To say that in an economy such as ours today that women have the “option” of working is generally false and for many women (i.e. working class women, single mothers, unmarried women) this was never the case. If you mean “the struggle towards” “equality of the sexes” to refer to the feminist movement today, then you are misinformed about this movement. Feminism today is not primarily about getting for women an equal share of the goods that society has to offer. It is about criticising the mode of production of those goodsand restructuringsocietyasawhole. As Sunera Thobani, President of NAC, said when she visited Waterloo, “Feminism is not about doing to men what men did to women.” As for your scenario about Ed, I would agree that this is sometimes the case. So why doesn’t Ed beat up his boss? Because he can beat up his wife, his kids or his dog and get away with it. Also, many abusers are “the boss”. I think that “we are all violent’* is a statement that obscures the fact that most (i.e. 98%) violent acts are committed by men. Your idea that “spellingand compulsory heterosexuality” is not going to solve anything ignores the fact that both involve challenging social institutions (i.e. language and heterosexual marriage) that play a role in perpetuating the ideologies that oppress women. However, it is not true to say that feminist organizations, such as the Womyn’s centre, do nothing but whine over spelling and heterosexuality. In fact we address a wide range of

Words shouldn’t hurt I was gonna start this letter with some condescending shit like, “hello...” or”duh..“; but then Ithought about words, and how they can be used to imply that someone’s “DUMB.” (now there’s a bad word). I don’t wanna use words to hurt, the way three or four women did in their comments about the International Womyn’s Day rag. Hell, I ain’t perfect either. I’ve got a shitty temper that could have sent me spewing on about how those women pissed me off. But all I wanna do is encourage them to brush up on their reading comprehension skills before they make public their unfounded insults which, although clearly unfounded,con and do hurt people. The three women who collaborated in commenting that the rag was antiheterosexual stepped in their own shit by quoting the rags concerns with “institution heterosexuality,“the key word being “institution”. What wasn’t obvious to those three women was that their beloved school is an institution which, thanks to such rantings as theirs, embodies many forms of prejudices against homoscxuality. Nobody was knocking anybody’s right to be heterosexual: the point was that people’s rights to be homosexual are being knocked every day - right here, in this “institution of higher learning.” Had they ever visited the Womyn’s Centre they may have been made aware of how this occurs and how it is reality. Instead, they denounced the Centre’s very existence and what it means to a large number of homosexual and heterosexual people. And about the word “cunt”. It’s fine that the woman who criticized Kate Wadd’s article doesn’t like the word. It may very well be that the word has been used in a fashion that has caused her grief. What she isn’t acknowledging is that the array of common clinical terms used by a long tradition of male medical professionals have also caused womyn grief. And lesbiangraffiti? Well, lastweek’s letter to the editor showed us how some peole would like more socially acceptable forums like the International Womyn’s Week rag abolished.

Campus not accessible To the editor: This winter I was struggling around campus with my son in a stroller. I’d like to thank all the people who helped me over snowy paths and curbs and through doors. This campus and community are veryinaccessible during the winter. I know a lot of landlords are irresponsible about removing snow in front of their properties. So please nag them or be a good neighbour and clean it yourself. Your neighbours who use wheelchairs, push strollers or who are senior citizens would really appreciate being able to exercise their right to an accessible community. Thank you, j. Anderson

Country Wife abusive 70 the editor: The University of Waterloo presented The Country Wife, by William Wycherley, from March I9 to March 23. I commend the acting and technical work but am disappointed with this choice in plays. The Country Wife is brutally sexist. It depicts womyn as moronic and inferior. It characterizes men as callous and cruel. This comedy inviltes an audience to laugh at wife abuse. One of its most violent lines involves the main male character threatening to inscribe the word whore on his wife’s forehead. Dramatic effect is no excuse for womyn bashing. Knapp

Earlier this week, I was involved in a conregarding the biodiversity of the cucumber tree. Sounds rather odd, I know. Of course, as you might well imagine, I don’t really give a toss about the cucumber tree, and that was what the conversation was about. Do we need to worry about species of plants or animals becoming extinct if we cannot show that their extinction has ramifications? My case was that unless we can show in a reasonable way that the disappearance of this animal/plant will affect human beings in an adverse way, we need not concern ourselves with the fact that they are no longer around. Now first, let us understand that nature “takes care of’ (read “destroys”) plenty of creatures. I would be hard pressed to name how many, but surely, we’ve all at least heard of dinosaurs. So let us not start the argument by saying that absolutely all life-no matter what kind - is important to the survival ofhumans - that is factually false. Of course we cannot include all types of organisms, that would include organisms such as AIDS and I don’t doubt that, if given the choice, most rational beings would eradicate it. Secondly, it is important to recognize that we mustreasartably show that the extinction of a given life form will affect us on this planet. Reasonably is the key word (that’s why I italicized it.) Reasonable arguments to save a species might come in an obvious fashion such as “We receive most of our wood from X type of tree therefore it should.& be eradicated from the planet.” A more sophisticated type of argument may be of the form “Over the last few years, many of our medical breakthroughs have been due to naturally ocuning elements that have been found in a forest in this specific area of the world, therefore logging in it should stop.” Of course, just having thisformof argument does not make it so. If you want to use those arguments, you have to show that they do indeed apply. A bad type of argument (there are many, I will name but one) is of the form “Well we cannot really tell of what use this plant may be in the future, so we shouldn’t take any chances and do everything we can to preserve it.” versation

This rationale is known as the “Basement argument” because it follows that same form as “Well, I don’t know when I’m going to use this X thing, so I’d better just keep it.” The problem with this argument is that it’s fine ifyou have the time, effort and space to keep all ofthis stuff, however, at some point, ifyouare this kind of pack rat and never throw anything away, eventually you will begin to suffer from keeping all of this crap in your house. On a global scale, if you want to preserve everything all of the time, you’re are incurring a huge opportunity cost. By not allowing yourself to cultivate land that will have some definite use now because of some unique frog that apparently has no use, and it cannot be reasonably shown that it ever will have any use, you are denying yourself the benefit of that land now for some Possible future benefit. If you want to defer that benefit, you must give a proper reason why. The road to hell, as they say, and it is economic concerns that should be at the foremost of environmentalists minds - especially environmentalists minds. Take, for example, recycling. Recycling, by itself, is not a good thing, it must be shown to be a good thing, and shown to be an economic good. Why? Because if it is not economically efficient (cost-effective) to recycle, that is to say, that if it costs more to recycle than it does to dump it, throw it away, etc. this means that you are actually tcsing up more resources than you are saving, and thus, misusing the very resources you are trying to save. This is assuming that the cost of dumping and the cost of recycling is actually the market price, that is to say, the price minus any government subsidies or other price controls. There are many, many examples (such as one in Charlottesvile, Virginia) where recycling does not make any environmental or economic sense, it would be interesting to see if the same is true of the K-W area. We must remember, that if the market is allowed to function properly, then as land becomes more scarce, the price goes up, and it then makes sense to recycle, but if that isn’t the case, then with your good intentions, you’re harming more than you’re helping.

fiGPUS SHOP(Campus cents\ When Boxes Don’t Work: A Parable For Engineers “We have a box” - Professor j. Sharer

by Btwce

Fraser

In my first year of university, I had to take a course entitled Chemistry for Engineers. My professor would commonly start a problem by saying “we have a box,” before proceeding to describe what was going on inside the box. One day, after the utterance of these words, a cardboard box took wings and flew to the front of the blackboard where it landed with a crash, accompanied by gales of laughter and the professor turning a rather rosy pink In further courses, we learned that problems could be greatly simplified by drawing a box around the system we were interested in solving. While this approach makes it a lot easier to solve difficult problems, there is a tendency for the box to be too small - for instance, to stop at the end of the smoke stack. When the system becomes an entity divorced from what it is meant to represent, it is much too easy to miss the obvious and completely disregard common sense. Consider, for example, the following stories. In the first, there was a farm in the United States. The conflict was that the farmer had a bank loan, and needed money to meet his payments. However,

his

eight

hectares

which

had

never been ploughed as they contained a grove abundant in beauty and wildlife, land he played in as a kid, as did his children after him. However, the lender pressured him to think rationally, and put the land to good, productive use. Much to his own personal dismay, and to the weeping of his chil-

dren, he gave in and cleared the land. The ironic part is that the land, being slightly hilly, is easily prone to soil erosion, and will probably not be very fertile after a couple of growing seasons. In the next story, there was a village in Guatemala. The source of its drinking water was a tiny lake surrounded by trees, whose water was clear and pure. The problem was that a long walk up a mountain was required to get to the water. The community gathered and decided that to improve their lives, they should put in a pipe-line to bring the water down to the village. But they lacked the money to do it. The solution they came up with was to sell the trees around the lake to raise the necessary funds. Unfortunately, without the trees, the lake dried up. These two stories illustrate an important phenomenon. First of all, whether or not the motives are honourable, when the “box” fails to take into account key phenomena and listens only to short term voices, there is a great potential for destruction, In one, it was a community’s drinking water supply, in another it was the centre of a family’s memories and joy. Sure, you can make a box, but you better make it big enough that you don’t forget something important like the fact that DDT not only kills insects, but also the birds which eat them. Bruce

ReligionandSexuality bg Andrew

Bmuwer

One of the things I find most interesting to talk about (and, in fact, is likely annoying to some of my friends) is religion. 1like to learn about other people’s faith backgrounds, where and how they feel about it today. Occasionally, I read the articles written by the various faith groups and find it more and more amusing when two polar groups try to argue in a constructive manner through weekly articles. In any case, the root of my religious interest lies partly in my sexuality. Although I had grown up around a relatively liberal faith background, I found it frustrating that other people had been brought up to believe that their lives could not facilitate the dictates or doctrines of their traditional religion. ’ This is a particularly hard subject within the gay, lesbian, and bisexual community. Occasionally, I get to meet a member of my community who has been alienated because their religion says that their sexuality is something distinctly separate from themselves, as if they chose to be homosexual, and can be separated at will. Yes, I could see how I could somehow make myself not be attracted to the model-man walking my way. Sorry, this is part of me! Believe every lesbian, gay, and bisexual who say they tried to deny their sexuality at one point in time, some to the point of being suicidal. What I want to do is not to criticize other people’s faith journey, but to try and understand why some groups seek to be so unresponsive in caring for them. In an issue of Xtra (Toronto’s gay and lesbian bimonthly magazine) a few months

I did not sign a lease with my landlord and I need to leave my apartment right away. What can l do about this?

ago, I was reading about the incredible amount of homeless teens, many of whom are gay. Some of those gay and lesbians were brutally rejected from their homes and could not find anywhere to stay. Yes, prostitution and drug sales result because they have to make money for food somehow. What I wondered in all of this is where the outreach of mainstream . some groups are very helpful in providing SUPDOI% but the majority still haven’t addressed-&e root of these homeless people’s problem: their sexuality is what keeps them on the streets. If I were to give advice to anyone who is involved in a conflict with their religion and their sexuality, I would probably ask them what are the things that they find comforted by in their faith? Does the group give you a sense of self worth and dignity? Does unconditional love and compassion extend to all aspects of your faith? Is your life a part of the body you belong to? Are your needs addressed and do you address the needs of the group, equally and whole-heartedly? I suppose no group is perfect in all of these ways, but I feel there are definite approaches in analyzing a faith that will grow and be part of all your life.

Comfortable your faith?

Under the hdlordmd Tenant Act ofqntorio you are required to give two months written notice TV the day when vacating an aparunent. In this case you may be able to make an agreement with your landlord that may be mutualty beneficial to both parties and allow you to vacate-your apartment immediately. If this is the case get the terms of that agreement in writing and have the landlord sign it. Make two originals of the agreement and have the landlord keep one for his or her records and keep the other copy for yours. Do not get the superintendent to sign the agreement on the landlord’s behalf for the agreement can only be binding if the owner of the building orhis designated agent signs it. If you cannot reach an accommodation of this issue and the landlord holds you to two months rent, then you will have to sublet the apartment for the remaining two months. A sublet arrangement basically involves a lease granted to another person by the lessee of the property. During that time, you will be liable for the condition of the apartment. If you do not want to sublet or cannot find suitable tenants you then may decide to pay the landlord for the two months of rent owing. Another, but not recommended, course open to you is just to leave. To do this involves the risk that the landlord may take you to Small Claims Court If this occurs, you will be tied up in a civil suit where you will have to pay the rent owing, the court costs and the time required to go to court. Avoid this path at all costs!! Consult the Landlord and Tenant Information office at 888-4634 at CC 206 cr The Ombudsperson, 885- 12 I I ext. 2402 for more information.

War is not an objective of Islam nor is it the normal course of Muslims. It is the last resort and is used under the most extraordinary circunistances when all other measures fail. Being fundamentally realistic, the Qur’anic revelation admits violence and legalizes war. However, battle is permitted only to check injustice. War must necessarily be declared as a form of self-protection or legitimate defense; hostilities must be waged with decency and according to divine ways. Aggression and the initiation of combat without any valid reasons are forbidden: “Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits, for Allah loves not transgressors” [2: 1905 History tells us that no divine or ideological revelation claiming to regulate earthly matters has been able to express itself in an entirely pacific manner since it had to assert itself against the violent reaction of the sociological diseases which it aimed to reform. Urged on by their divine mission, Allah’s various prophets had to resort to violence which legitimized war, simultaneously giving it a character of legitimate defense. The very manner in which they conducted their battles provides an illustrative example of the way man has to struggle in order to let good triumph. The battles fought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) illustrate the particular nature of Islamic war: it is just in its cause, defensive in its initiative, decent in its proceeding, pacific in its end, and humanitarian in its treatment of the conquered enemy. The immense magnanimity shown by the Prophet ought to prove that even the battles which he initiated were of preventive character. The principle of goodfaith and upright intentions constitutes the moral basis of the Muslim in both combat and all circumstances of his private and public life. The orders given by Abu Bakr, the Prophet’s first. successor, to his soldiers are well.

using the

informal means of investigation and resolution. In this case, approach the professor and make him or her aware of your concerns about your marks. Review all your mid-terms, assignments and labs, and verify the professor’s receipt of the work and the mark recorded. View the final exam and check the addition of the exam to see if there were any eabulation errors made. This is a common error, especialty when the professor is responsible for marking a large number of exams. If it is evident that you really bombed the exam, analyse with the professor where you went wrong. This could be particularly helpful if you have to take this course again. If the professor refuses access to the exam, you can go to the Chair of the department or see the Ombudsperson who will assist you with this problem. I think that you will find the professors very attentive to your concerns. It is rare for the Chair of the department to get directly involved in such a scenario. Because of the significance of such a problem to a student’s university career, a fairly informal and effective practice is observed concerning this issue. This question certainly raises the issue of what to do when submitting work in a course. Be sure to keep a copy of the work available so that if it becomes evident that your work was not credited with a mark at all, you have the assignment available for re-submission. Papers can and do get lost despite the best efforts of the faculty. One way to prevent this from happening is to submit your work to the exact specification that the professor desires, using a properly titled and formatted document. I also recommend that for essays and other assignments using a format that will help prevent lost papers. Place the course title, the professor name, your name and student ID number in the header of all the pages being submitted. This way, if the paper becomes separated during transport or marking, the professor can “rebuild” the essay because each individual page is fully marked as to what essay it belongs to. Do as much as possible to prevent this situation from occurring. It will save you many sleepless nights!

Do not destroy palm trees and do not kill cattle unless you are forced to eat them. When you grant a treaty or a capitulation, take care to fulfill their conditions. As you advance, you will come across religious men who live in monasteries and who serve God in prayer; leave them in peace, do not kill them and do not destroy their monasteries...” Concerning prisoners, the prophetic traditions reportthefollowing injunction of Muhammad (PBUH): “The captives are your brothers and collaborators. It is by Allah’s grace that they are in your hands. Since they are at your mercy, treat them as you treat yourselves with regard to food, clothing, and habitation. Do not demand any work of them which is beyond their capacities, rather, help them to accomplish their tasks.” Over and over the Qur’an states that among the actions of great moral value is the kindness which the believer should show toward his captive: “And they (believers) feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive” [76:8].

Dodt Miss It!!

by Kasia Kord special to Xmprint It could be argued that world religions have not been kind to anyone. Sadly, women

seem to have been spe-

cifically singled out as evil, unclean, carnal, ignorant and unworthy of any substantial religious attention outside of the conveniently prescribed roles that their religious fathers have deemed appropriate for the female gender. Women’s ‘appropriate’ roles have always been seen as secondary to the male role within the religious tradition. If they were not secondary, women’s roles have, for the most part, gone unnoticed.

For this reason, women appear to have been silent within most religious societies. The fact that women have tended

to have been somewhat

invisible, and

were therefore seen as having been ‘not as important’ in church life, has

further propagated patriarchal dominance and women’s secondariness in the world’s religions. I feel that only recently has the importance of women’s roles in the world’s religions begun to be recognized and thus vindicated

through this recognition. Light is being shed on the improper treatment of women throughout history, but this study of gender bias in religion is not simply restricted to a retrospective analysis. It seems that one cannot look at women’s positions in the various religions without examining the social contexts in which

the religions have thrive in both the past and the present. For example, prevailing social attitudes toward women in India arevery different from those that exist in North American culture. Women also view themselves and their roles differently from one society to another. Thus in order to view women’s unhappy romance with the world’s religions, one must lookat the big picture.

This attitude of women’s ugliness in pregnancy in is prevalent in Medieval Judeo-Christian societies. This common view all stems from the fact that women menstruate. Menstruation is understood as the life giving source, but it also symbolically represents the fall of ‘man’ because of Eve. To men-

sisters in the Christian tradition, but St. Catherineand St Ctare were anorexics who put their bodies through unnecessary suffering for the love of God in a bid to prove their sanctity. Saints Catherine and Glare, and many like them purged their bodies of their evil femininity. They tried to destroy the body that was carnal. They wanted to break down that which had destroyed Eve....her sexuality. Julian on the other hand, was a wise, revolutionary, female mystic, but she was a hidden woman. She was

experiences are framed? One constant theme in all of the world’s religions is that in theory, they are all originally very kind to, and respectful of women. Women are initially represented as being as capable as men at experiencing and participating in a given faith. Once the particular religion becomes organized and codified, its attitudes towards women tend to change for the worse. For example, originally, the Buddha proclaimed that all people have the ability to attain enlightenment= In fact, the Buddha stressed the importance of eliminating labels such as gender. Once the Buddha died and Buddhism became more of an institution, women were labeled and held back from leadership positions within the tradition. For example, Buddhist nuns were specifically

However unlikely, this may be the true intent of these doctrines, but the message they convey about the rightful role of women (and nuns in particular) within this society is very harmful. The message is; women, and more specifi-

This seems to be a unifying thread that unites the religions of the world. Woman as womb. Women in religion have historically been judged on their ability to produce heirs for the more dominant males. One would figure that women would be placed on a pedestal for their ability to become pregnant and give birth. This unfortunately, has not been the case. For example, in Christianity and Judaism, women have historically been restricted from entering places of worship while pregnant. A pregnant woman was considered unclean, and pregnancy was not looked upon as a favourable physical state for women. Even after the birth of the child it was required that a woman not enter a place of warship again for a particular amount of time. Today most people - regardless of whether they are male, female, priest, I-abbi, monk or whomever - tend to glorify the beauty of the miracle a pregnant woman carries within her. I’ve heard many people say that they

struate and to experience pain while in is the punishment for all women because Eve - as a woman brought evil into the world. This of course translates into the oppressive teaching that; since all women menstruate, all women are as evil as Eva It is for this reason that, in Judeo-Christian religion, the negative attitudes towards women are crystalized in their ‘suffering’ from the deeds of the first female sinner. Since then, all women have endured patriarchy and have been forced to pay for Eve’s transgression. This image of Eve as the evil seductress, the carnal, uncontrollable female, has been the caste set for aI1 women for centuries. Women in judeochild birth

Did she hide her body to keep it from tempting herself and others? Did she hide herself to avoid persecution and punish the Eve stigma? Within the church, Julian is a highly respected woman, studied for her mysticism and her writings.

to redeem themselves somewhat, but this is only facilitated by their playing the role of loyal wife and mother. In this sense, redemption was only to be found in the role of subservient female. The quintessential image of women that was prescribed by the Roman Catholic Church in medieval times was the figure of the Virgin Mary. A pure, devoted, obeidiant virgin, mother, and wife, was the ideal that all women were told they must strive for. Social acceptance of the vision of the chaste, meek, silent, devout female caught on in Christianity and has been exemplified by the prominent images of women in the tradition. St Catherine of Sienna, St. Clare of Assisi, Julian of Norwhich and Mary Magdalen are notable examples to name a few. Indeed, all of these women are holy and are our

These were the options for women. Mother, virgin, or prostitute. Thus it seems as if the outward appearance of women was once used to denote her inner sanctity in the same way that a woman’s appearance today is suppcrsed to denote her outer beauty. These roles have always been defined by and in relation to men In India, Hindu women were praised by Ghandi for their ability to suffer. Recognizing this female trait, he actively recruited women for his passive army because he admired them and their strength. Ghandi called upon women to not only suffer in and for the home, but to suffer for the nation. Ghandi’s ‘wornen power’ worked well, and women enjoyed respect for their participation. However, although encouraging this respect for their abilities might initially appear to be liberating, one must ask if this is not a horrible thing for women to be adept at It has been publicly acknowledged that women have suffered greatly in India because it has been seen to be their job. Women in Hindu society contine to endure an inferior position to men. Gandhi thought that women were perfect for his movement because he knew that when they had been beaten by their husbands, women did not retaliate. They remained silent. Gandhi also knew that women could go days without food because they had repeatedly endured this hardship in their families, always facing it with silence and passivity. Knowing this, is it a good thing that he used the Hindu women’s ability to suffer and remain silent and passive for pursing his vision of peace? Was this a good image to praise? Was ie a good thing that he admired their courage in the face of hardship? Or did he merely admire them for being the passive women they were supposed to be in Hindu society? I have not come to any conclusions, but I realize that it would be possible for one to go either way in acknowledging Gandhi and his effects on the status of women within Hinduism. What continues to resurface is the admiration for silent, passive women that is present in all world religions. It seems obvious that women have been belittled throughout religious history. Today, women are still fighting against archaic notions of their capabilities in the various religious traditions. It is important to look back at history and witness the androcentric, patriarchal and sometimes misogynist attitudes that women have been forced to endure. By recognizing yesterday’s mistakes, we can avoid future

still fighting against archaic notions... patriarchal attitudes... Mary Magdalen is another story. Once she was a prostiture. Transformed by the miracle of Christ, she abandoned her old ways and became a devout virgin. Here one can observe the convenience of using this story in promoting the aims of the Church. Because the Church was prescribing a cemin sanctity for women, it could point to the dichotomy of potential female forms as an example. Either you were like the Virgin Mary, or you were like Mary Magdalen (Eve).

by Deb Die&l special to Imprint People who believe there is nothing wrong with the world today are obviously ignorant to the countless problems that plague our environment. This article is dedicated to atl those who believe the world “...is not as bad as they say.” You are the people who should continue reading. Saving our environment is all about knowledge - knowledge and choice. The following is a simple list of changes anyone can make to his/her lifestyle with practically no effort. Read it, pass it along to a friend, then post it on a wall or mirror where. other people will see it. Pick two or three things you can do every day, and add one each week. Soon you will be making a positive impact you might never have thought you had the power to make.

Fill a two litre pop bottle with water and put it in the back of your toilet. This can save up to a third of the water going through your toilet every time you flush! As a university student paying water bills, you should not have any reason to reject this idea. Shut off the lights...and turn down the heat! In times of recession, these environmental tips have become second nature to many. “Put on a sweater if you’re cold” is something we have all heard our parents say at least once. Keeping *

Many hydro developments have devastating effects on people living nearby, as well as on the surrounding natural environment In part, we are responsible for this damage by demanding a terrific amount of power each day. Also, sitting by a window to do your homework - instead of under a fluorescent lamp - can be a much more pleasant experience. It is time to realize that some of Mom’s advice does apply to real life.

Make this your slogan! Take, for example, a banana. Bananas are often grown on land formerly covered by rainforest. Before they get to you they have to be picked and shipped thousands of miles. Normally you can buy a pound of bananas for under $3.00. Consider how little labourers on plantations must be paid for a day’s work if you can buy a banana for 20 cents. Consider how few people would be starving if those bananas wet-e used to feed the people who picked them.

Six head coaches await lmprint award at tonight’s by Peter

Brown spmts

Imprint

The last hurrah for the 1993-94 season in varsity sports comes tonight at Federation Hall in the form of the annual University of Waterloo Athletics Banquet. There, outstanding athletes and coaches are saluted, a great meal is eaten, and tankards are raised to another great season in interuniversity sports. To prepare for tonight’s banquet, it is the singular honour of the Imprint sports editor, or some real sonable facsimile, to sift through the results of seven months of interuniversity action and select the University of Waterloo’s coach of the year and, later on tonight, to hand out the hardware. No scientific method exists for this obviously subjective choice, but there are some general principles that we subscribe to. Usually, the coaches of teams that overachieve are strong candidates. If the team has lost key veterans or are in what is often called a rebuilding year, but still excels, there is a good chance that the head coach was highly effective in contributing to team cohesion, or so the logic goes. The problem with 1993-94 is that most teams fared about as well as they could be expected to. The ones that did finish at or near the top of their divisions probably should have. Still, we’ve got a coach of the year to pick, and there are some quite strong candidates. Here, then, are the nominees, in no particular order:

Ed Price WarriorVolleyball 1993-94 wasn’t exactly a rebuilding year for the Black Plague volleyball team. The team had a talent base returning from the previous season that included all-Canadian setter Shawn Smith along with Matt Reed, Rene Holt, Perry Strauss, and Pete Denison, among others. Waterloo seemed poised to re-

The University of Waterloo athletics department will have a new look as a result of the retirement of three of the administration’s top people: Wally Delahey, Director of Athletics; Pat Davis, Assistant Director Finance and Interuniversity Services; and Don McCrae, men’s interuniversity coordinator. The trio announced their retirement, effective September I, 1994, in mid-November following 30, 27, and 23 years with the department respectively. Each has made an enormous contribution to not only the athletic department, but to athletics in general. Delahey joined the staff at Waterloo in I964 as a lecturer in the physical education program, serving additionally as the assistant football coach and the director of intramurals. Following his time as the head coach of the football team, Delahey has occupied many administrative positions in provincial, league and nationai asso-

peat a battle with the McMaster Marauders for first place in the C3UAA West division. Why nominate the Warrior volleyball coach, then? Well, when a firstyear university coach directs the team to an division-best 12-2 record and wins coach of the year for his division, he warrants consideration. The Black Plague spenta couple of weeks ranked in the CIAU’s top ten list and Price was named OUAA West coach of the year, the only such honour this season for UW coaches. Price’s recruiting prowess and connections with high school volleyball, especially with Stratford Central Secondary School, have helped him build the foundation for the next Black Plague dynasty. The team ended up winning the regular-season battle against Mac, sweeping their two meetings, but lost the playoff war with the Marauders repeating as West champions here at the PAC main gym.

TOIn-

Warriorbasketb~l After the team performed inconsistently throughout most of the pre-season, Warrior basketball head coach Tom Kieswetter defied orthodoxy by switching 6’6” Tom Balfe from forward to centre, and then promoting him to starter over 6’9” incumbent Mark Hopkins. Of course, Balfe made Kieswetter’s decision look less like a gamble and more like the push the Warriors needed to get over the hump. Balfe averaged 16.0 points per game and the Warriors finished 8-6 in the regular season, good enough for third-place in the eight-team OUAA West division. A rejuvenated inside offence was the main reason for the team’s ‘94 success. Balfe’s intensity under the glass took pressure off of the rest of the team and allowed Sean VanKoughnett and Alex Urosevic to open up from outside and off penetration. The change also allowed veteran forward Chris Moore to join the startl

Most recently, a representative of the Ontario University Athletic Association, Delahey travelled to Sheffield, England as the Chef de Mission for the Canadian team at the I991 World Student Games. In 1987, he was the assistant Chef De Mission for the same games held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. Within the OUAA, Delahey has served in many capacities. He has been both vice-president (I 988- 1990) and president of the association (I 99Ol992), has been the chair of five committees since 1980, and continues to work as a member on seven committees.

Pat Davis has also worn many hats over a career which began at Waterloo in 1967. Davis was the first head coach of the women’s volleyball team at Waterloo, coaching from I967 to 1985. During those years, Davis was also the coordinator of women’s athletics, a position she held until 1989 at which time she became the Assistant Director, Finance and Facilities. Davis was instrumental in the development of the Ontario Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Association, chairing the committee that designed and founded the organization in 197s 71. During Davis’ I8-year involvement with the association, she chaired six committees and was involved with numerous other ad hoc committees. Davis held the position of president within the OWIAA for a two-year period from I978- 1980. Davis was also very active within the Canadian Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Association, later amalgamated

builders

with the Men’s Intercollegiate Union to form one national organization, the CIAU. She was the OWIAA represenmtive to the. national committee from 1969-l 975 and remained chair of the Constitution Committee from 1979, 1984. Dedicated to the sport of volleyball, Davis was active within both the Ontario and Canadian Volleyball Associations, holding the positions of coaching chairperson, regional director, coordinator of Provincial Team Development and assistant head of a delegation for a pre-Olympic volleyball tour in 1975. Don McCrae started at the University of Waterloo in I 97 t as the head coach of the Warrior basketball team. Over the next 2 I years, McCrae directed the Warriors to seven consecutive first-place finishes in Ontario, a national championship in 1975, a national final-four appearance on two other occasions and a career winning percentage of over 75 per cent in

league games. McCrae also had a tremendous amount of success as the head coach of the national women’s basketball team from 1977 until 1988. During those eight years, tie national team won more medals than at any other time in its history. In his final year at the helm, McCrae guided the team to one of only four open spots in the I984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In 1991, McCrae retired from coaching the Warriors and devoted his time to responsibilities as the coordinator of Men’s Interuniversity Athletics and to the athletic facility development for the department Earlier this year, McCrae was honoured by the Naismith Memorial Basketball

C-Ret prepares for spring by Mary-Anne Fair&aim RMicity Coordinator With the winter term wrapping up, leagues are coming to a close and plans for the spring are in full swing. If you are unsure of what Campus Ret offers in the summer, you don’t need to worry about losing any of the usual opportunities. On top of regular leagues we offer beach volleyball and outdoor soccer, as well as softball and slow pitch. Reg istration for any of these leagues will take place at the beginning of May. If you’ll be looking for a part-time job in the summer, maybe you should consider working as a referee, ref-inchief, or convener. If you are interested in learning more about these positions and applying, come to PAC 2039 as soon as possible. The three-on-three basketball tournament that was planned for this term has been postponed until the spring term due to lack of interest The tournament will be sponsored with Tshirts available for participants. Keep your eye out for registration dates. One of the leagues that we are hoping to focus on in the summer is inner tube water polo. This term, the league experienced considerable drop off from an average of I5 teams down to only 5. This may have been due to lack of interest because of the weather. Let’s face is only a few brave souls want to think about swimming when the temperature is twenty below! The league has been very popular up until now, but graduating students may have been the main users. Depending on summer turn-out, some focus may be given to this league to encourage frosh to get involved. Games take place on Sunday evenings, and it’s always a splash! Basically, the goal is to move yourself around in an innertube, which is not as easy as it looks, passing a water polo ball and trying to score on a water polo net You don’t have to be a great swimmer because you have the tube to keep you afloat, and besides, you can easily touch the bottom of the pool. Other universities are just beginning to implement this sport in their campus programs, but it has been one of the most popular leagues around

here for years. This is a great way to meet new people, and it’s definitely a stress release. Even if you don’t know how to play, consider signing a team up anyway, because there aren’t any established rules to be found! On Tuesday, March 29, between I I :30 and I :30, the fitness instructors will be offering open aerobics classes to anyone who is interested in participating. Classes will include step and cardio hi/lo. If you have been waiting to try out the new Nike Slide, this is your opportunity. Qualified instructors will be on hand to help. At about 12: 15 a demonstration of the latest trend in step will be held. Details are available across from the Tote Desk in PAC. If you plan on attending a step class you must sign up ahead in PAC 2039 to reserve a step. The Men’s and Women’s DoublesTennisTournamentwas completed on Sunday, March 13, with Som Sai Sananikone and Tiffany Hamilton finishing as the winners. They had to win six matches, including four in a row on Sunday evening. The team of Waseem Naz and Craig Lyn finished in second place, losing a well-fought battle. The third and fourth place teams were Brad Winder and Mala Vong Khamphoo, and Cheryl Agina and Shaloub Razak respectively. The matches were well played by all levels of players. We would like to thank the Waterjoo Tennis Club for their assistance with the tournament Certificates are available for pick up in the PAC office. Congratulations to all those who participated. We hope to see you out on the courts for our next tournament. Volleyball by Chris

by Paul G. Cm&m UW Athletics For the first time ever, an induction ceremony for the UW Athletics Hall of Fame was held off campus last weekend. On Saturday, March 12, 1994, the Athletics department honoured the 1973-74 Warrior hockey team by inducting them into the Hall of Fame. The ceremony occurred in Toronto in conjunction with the CIAU hockey championship. The 1973-74 hockey team was the first team to bring a CIAU championship to the University of Waterloo. Waterloo took the title that year in a very exciting overtime win over Sir George Williams University (now a parz of Concordia University) at the University of Toronto’s Varsity Arena. Seventeen members of the winning team, their spouses and friends, and former head coach Bob McKillop gathered in Toronto for the induction ceremony. Players came from as far away as Thunder Bay and Michigan to take part in the ceremony. UW Athletics director Wally Delahey, in his remarks, paid tribute to the players for their outstanding play. He went on to point out to them

a real value of university athletic activities: the friendships which they form when they take the time and effort that is necessary to partake of an interuniversity sport while still maintaining their academic standing. It is these friendships which will remain with them for the rest of their lives, Delahey stated. Members of the team who were inducted were: Ron Hawkshaw, Lee Barnes, Cam Crosby, Mike Guimond, Randy Stubel, Doug Snoddy, Bill Stinson, Dave Smylie, Dan Partland, Rob Madeley, lake Dupuis, Dave McCosh, Doug Colbon, Brian Gastaldi, Gus McMillan, Roy Wuertele, and Bifl Green. The ceremony marked the first time that a team has been inducted into the UW Athletics Hall of Fame. Prior to this point, only individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the UW Athletics program have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. The next logical team to be inducted could be the 1974-75 Warrior basketball team who won the CIAU championship in March, 1975 in an exciting one-point victory at the PAC. The Hall of Fame selection committee will give consideration to that team, along with other individuals in meetings to be held during the next

year. Also in attendance at the Toronto induction ceremony were: Carl Toake, Director of Athletics when the Warrior hockey team won the championship in 1974; Cail Vinnicombe, former assistant coach with the Warrior hockey team and former director of residences at UW, now retired; Peter Hopkins, Associate Provost of Student Affairs; and other friends. All of those present took a moment to remember a teammate of theirs, a captain with the championship team, Jim Nickleson. Jim provided not just his playing ability during the championship season, but that valuable, hardto-measure quality of leadership. Cancer claimed Jim in May 1988. His father Doug was on hand to receive the Hall of Fame certificate in Jim’s name. It was a full weekend for the team members. There was a reception on Friday night, a tour of the Hockey Hall of Fame on Saturday, and the ceremony festivities on Saturday night And, of course, there were the semi=finals and championship game of the 1994 CIAU hockey championship tournament. The University of Lethbridge Pronghorns took the title with a 5-2 win over the OUAA champion University of Guelph Gryphons.

bg Chris Imprint

19, 1994

First off I’d like to say that I really like Colin James. I enjoy his music. When I reviewed his latest album I even gave it a good mark. On the new release, Cojin +es and the Little Sig &md, Colin joins forces with new back it The

Little Big Band. This new release isn’t on par with his first two efforts, Co/in James and Sudden Stop, but it’s alright. For those who don’t know, the new album is

comprised of covers of old 50s and 60s tunes and comes complete with traditional horns and piano from that era. It is a far cry from his earlier blues rock material but there is some fine playing on it. This is the spot where as a reviewer I run into a dilemma. For myself, the show at Lulu’s was far from fun. I lost track of the number of times I yawned during his performance, The odd thing is that the rest of the crowd ate it up. Colin James played guitar and the crowd loved it. Colin James sang and the crowd love it Colin James jumped around and the crowd loved it Colin James coutd have picked his nose on stage and the crowd would have yelled and screamed for more. It was a scary sight! The crowd loved the new music and got down and grooved to the eight guys on stage playing a wide assort-

the Big Band would leave the stage and Colin would play some of his old stuff. Boy was I wrong. So what was so wrong about this show you like my cool hair? might ask? Colin James is a blues rocker, or so I thought. Even though he was touring with a 50s and 60s style band you would figure that he would still play some of his old blues material. Wrong! The only old song Colin James played was a bee bop version of “Hidden Charms”. After such a cruel and unusual treatment of this song I stopped wishing to hear any more of his old tunes and prayed for a quick

with the new songs “Satellite”, “Train Kept A Rollin”‘, “Breakin’ Up The House” and “The Boogie Twist”. The Big Band left the stage at one point and it got my hopes up. Even without the Big Band Colin James just kept on going with the new material. It eventually got pretty boring. When the Band came back they clapped and snapped their fingers to

his band and they still play his old stuff. What happened to Colin James I’ll never understand. Where were the old favourites like “Voodoo Thing”, “Chicks and Cars” and “Five Long Years”? He didn’t even play that horrible song “Just Came Back’. My first mistake was not reading the flashing sign out front Lutu’s when we pulled up. It proclaimed “Colin James and the Little Big Band”, not just

the music and it looked pretq lame. This show was a hellish experience folks, something I hope that I never have to live through again. All I wanted was to see Colin James do a few bluesy numbers. It was a very disappointing show to say the least I can handle having a show not being what I expected but you have to draw the line somewhere. Opening the show was traditional blues rocker David Gogo. He was everythingthat Colin James should have been. Swinging from mellow to ferocious blues numbers, David Gogo performed like a champ. Too bad the great mood created didn’t carry over for the headline act

Fed Hall was packed, everybody was drunk (but me) and dancing to the tunes of this western Canadian band. Spirit of the West took to the stage just after eleven. They opened up with “D for Democracy,” a totally amazing sang from their Go Figure album. The majority of the songs they played after this were from their older albums, which are totally what everybody calls “eeltic.” Their later albums tend to mix Celtic and pop (for lack of a better word) which is the sound 1 like from

The guys in the band are proficient players, Colin James is a fabulous on guitar and the crowd did love it It is just tough to sit through a whole night of stuff my parents listen to. Come on!

What the fuckwas with that shitty version of “Political” they played?! Finally they play something I like and it’s so unrecognizable they might as well not have played it at all. What a shame.

David Gogo played his axe like was an extension of his penis. He played it hard, he felt the vibe, the crowd swooned and they begged for more. Touring with the mundane Colin lames Bee Bop Era flashback, Gogo was the saviour of the show with his Stevie Ray Vaughn-like guitar playing. Gogo played down and dirty blues combined with a harder edge that had the crowd very interested in this newcomer to the blues-rock domain that Jeff Healy and Colin a lames cornered in Canada. Promoting his self-titled debut that was released at the beginning of the month, he transformed including screaming guitar solos that had quite a few crowd-members stroking the air. Gogo’s western upbringing had no hold on his obvious preference for

He sold the show out to a crowd of people with bad hair (ie Billy Ray Cyrus); a crowd too old (and possibly senile) that they think Colin James is Tommy Dorsey; and a crowd that didn’t know Colin James had two other albums before his Little Bin Band days. Atone point in the eveniig I thouiht a mosh pit had started, but to my dismay it was a pathetic display of couples combining the two-step with the Charleston. In all fairness though the crowd did seem to enjoy themselves even though I paint a dismal picture of an utter waste of time.

Stephen Fearing friflcess Cinema Sunday, March

by Peter

Imprint

Brown staff

Downtown Waterloo boasts two perfect locations for live, acoustic artists: Emmanuel United Church and the Princess Cinema. On Sunday, March 13, the latter venue had if not the acoustics then certainly the cosy atmosphere and reverence of the former. The occasion? Not the Second Coming, but the second appearance in four years of Stephen Fearing at the Princess. “It’s been a while,” Fearing said as he strapped on his guitar. “Too long,” replied a member of the audience, echoing unanimous sentiments. So began a brilliant show that reinforced Fearing’s sheer mastery of live performance. This man can crash rough sounds out of an acoustic guitar, while slamming the body with the ball of his hand for percussion, and then subside into a quiet and delicate picking that would make angels weep and Bruce Cockburn blush. And along with this exquisite musicianship swells the deep rhythm of Fearing’s rich basso voice* Paul Blaney accompanied Fearing on stand-up bass, and there were moments when he seemed as mesmerized as the audience with Fearing’s expressive playing.

Through most of it, Blaney hummed along with eyes closed, in Glenn Gouldish fashion. Fearing acknowledged the difficulty Canadians have in expressing patriotism while he introduced “The Longest Road,” a brilliant ode to his country of origin that describes a trip from Vancouver to Halifax to board a ship to Ireland when he was seven years old. “As soon as I wrote this, I thought, oh no, this is going to turn into some soti of David Foster, Olympics kind of thing,” he joked. And he is trying not to let this whole major label thing corrupt him, as he explained before “The Life,” a song about the music business, specifically about performing at some music industry function where everyone drinks the free beer and ignores the act “I actually played this at the [The Assassin's Apprentice] album rele?se

party in Vancouver,” he laughed. Other songs from his latest included “Lark and Duke,” “The Station,“and “Echoes.” His selections from older material was predictable for those who have seen him before: “Bells of Morning,” “Tryin’ Times,” and “Blind Horses.” Just one indication of how much the audience appreciated Fearing’s talents came as each song ended. The crowd was worshipfully silent until the last decibel of sound disappeared into the dark corners of theatre. Paul Macleod treated the crowd to a great, if short, opening set, backed up by the bassist from The Groove Daddys, Paddy Flynn and the lead singer from The Rhinos, Dan Michel. Much ofthe audience tasted more sweet than bitter in his bittersweet lyrics and chortled at spots that made MacLeod smile at his accompanyists.

of the Father

by Jim Sheridan

M. piro Stafl

Northern Ireland in I974 is utter chaos. The streets of Belfats are filled with British gunmen, tanks, and IRA rebels. But not everyone who hates the British is necessarily part of the militant IRA. The British authorities keep forgetting that. In the name Jerry Contan (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) is young and jobless. He only /n the name knows that he doesn’t want to become an office clerk like his dad, Guiseppe. He doesn’t exactly shun the riots. When he’s almost caught, Guiseppe sends him to London. To get away. To get a job. Rather than joining straight-laced Aunt Annie, Jerry moves into a commune. Free love and drugs, that’s what it’s all about. When he runs out of money, he steals from a hooker and returns to

Belfast, his pockets filled with cash. The first thing he buys is a hippie outfit that would do any Elvis impersonator justice. The Kinks “Dedicated Follower of Fashion” proves quite “suit”able. Sd do Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix. So far the story has its proper mix of humour, Shakespearean style. The Northern Ireland thing provides credibitity and depth. However, there’s more to come.

It was a day full of opposites, highly reminiscent of A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, and his blustery day. Outside Massey Hall there were bums huddled over a garbage can fire, while overhead great lights shone down on them. The bums looked cold and miserable on that windy March Wednesday. I felt like going over and giving one of those poor chaps five bucks. But you know how expensive parking is... Then sudderrly, they left tt\e fire, and walked into a trailer. It was only then that we spotted the cameras. Someone told us that it was a new Ice-T movie being made. Going to see the Cocteau Twins, it did not surprise me. I wouldn’t even have been surprised to see Heffalumps and Woozles. That’s just the kind of folks the Cocteau Twins is. We ducked out of the cold, fren-

zied life outside, and settled among Velvet people decked out with lace and black baubles. There was an expectant, hushed atmosphere. Well, not really. We got there well into the opening band, the Veldt’s, set.

The Veldt are an American band, who play alright, and have some groovy rhythms, but ultimately get lost in the shuffle of Lenny Kravitz tribute bands. One need not wonder why such a heinous noise opened for the music of the gods. The Cocteau’s guitarist, Robin Guthrie has admitted an enjoyment of the music of Rage Against the Machine. Perhaps some secrets are best left un-

to tell. The concert was surprisingly powerful, considering the lightness of many of there songs on record, here reproduced with a certain animal intensity, to do

“Evangeline”, “Heaven or Las Vegas”, and even early ones like “Aikea Guinea”, and caressed them, and phrased them in such a way that they took on new vibrancy and tone. In essence they became totally new songs. When listening to Liz Fraser up on stage, it’s not hard to see where Bjork, Liz Fraser, Iceland’s favourite daughter, got her range of soprano, interspersed with the frequent growl, and banshee wail from. The audience was slow to react at first, giving only fairly light response to the music. This is understandable, because they were probably mesmerized by the fantastic

spoken.

However, we were lucky, and we managed to see only two songs, so perhaps they merely chose to play their worst songs at the end of the set, and all of their other music was simply wonderful... However, I doubt it. Finally, the Veldt finished their aural attack on our musical sensibilities, and ducked shamelessly off the stage. Now, we settled into our seats, watched the little roadie guys set up the large, Victorian Stage, in preparation for the Cocteau’s graceful entrance. The stage set-up was quite impressive, with a back gr6und

Most people were transfixed in transcendental unity with the music. There was a girl, slowly dancing in the shadows, with a tiara in her auburn hair. About half-way through the concert, the Cocteaus moved into some more mellow songs. This was endured until they played “Bluebeard”, and then the audience really got enthusiastic, calling back the band for two encores. The applause was deafening, and each time subdued by the return of our heroes, as they retook the stage.

These southern boys have served up a winner with their fifth release, Ring. This is the first release that I’ve heard by these guys. I stumbled upon it by accident and I’m sure glad that I $ did. The Connells are a unique blend of soft southern rock and insightful lyrics. Sweet youthful vocals are the strong suit of this release. Sounding a bit like their southern neighbours thelayhawks, The Connells are well on their way to stardom. The catchy uprempo number “Slackjawed” provides a fine contrast to the soul tingling slower number “74-75”. The hushed, mellow music on this release will no doubt appeal to fans of Blue Rodeo. All thirteen tracks on this release are super. There is nothing brash or noisy about this release. It is just great melodies surrounded by lush chord arrangements. If you liked Neil Young and Eric Clapton in theiracoustic phases then you will find this release a delight. Some of the songs come off sounding a bit like R.E.M. in nature. The Connells are not going to revolutionize the world witt, their music but Ring sure makes ’ for some fun listening. The Connells come highly recommended.

The message on the back of the CD, written in genuinely cliche computer-script, says it all: “This album is dedicated to the inventor of the Roland TB-303.” tiardfloor are Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker, who are fast becoming very respected leaders of the German hardtt-ance scene. The sixth track from the album, “Acperience I ,” is featured on Sven Vath’s very own Omen club favourites list. To describe this album track by track would be to do it an injustice. There are two or three very substandard tracks, most notably Drug Overlord (“He is not just de drug dealer, ris man is de drug OVERlord...“, yeah, whatever), a very large part of the album is pure hardtrance bliss. These men have taken the 303 and yanked it to a whole new level of style. The 303 has never sounded better, and, contrary to my initial supposition, does not lend a vintage or outdated texture to the music. Hardfloor has programmed fairly simple, minimalist rhythms, and has then created entirely dynamic tracks by creatively altering pitch. Whatever mood one is in before listening to this album will be inevitably transmuted to electronic elation. Being a hardtrance fan myself, Hardfloor has done it for me, and I anxiously await their next release on Harthouse. Look out for those Eye Q/Harthouse compilations!

Put the disc in, press close, take a deep breath of air. Lie down on your bed. Alison walks into the room. She is a lonely girl, inviting you over to her frighting, seductive atmosphere with her pale, junky streaked arms. Maybe you could lead her away from the predicament she’s in. After all she’s still a lovely girl, full of a gentle sensuality, and innate beauty, only half-heartedly covered in excess, still the little Alison who used to play in your backyard. But now she’s sensuous, and sexual. Let her warm breath caress your cheek as she slowly motions for you to join her on her side of the sonic spectrum. Breathe again. Lay under the waves, and let the

1 -5 by Sandy Atwal Imprint stag From his first single in 1986, “PSK What Does It Mean?” Schooly D, considered by some to be the progenitor of gangsta rap, has always been able to surround himself with a certain amount of controversy. Endorsing gun possession and violence as a means to solve problems has garnered him his fair share of attention. His rapping ability and sampling mastery, however, are beyond doubt Unlike the stammeringforced bragging which passes for most of rap nowadays, he’s got all of his cadence,‘ rhythm etc. etc. down, but the problem with this album is a matter of style. Unlike something like Ice Cube’s “U ain’t gonna take my life” or PE’s “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos”, Schooly D can’t tell a story worth shit,

No, you need to live only in the shadow of the beauty, and be able to pull yourself out again, back into a normal workaday lifestyle. There’s a man, singing about being lonely. The sound is so close. Maybe it’s you singing. Maybe it’s you who are lonely. It’s inside your head. You are strong. A trip in space to the Souvlaki Space Station. All of your friends are there. Poor Alison is left on the other side. Now we’re altogether, and it’s a beautiful, slow Beatles feeling. Post ‘66 perfect pop. And the album fades into the next life.

It is a match made in heaven, for whether they intended it or not, the new ending for the album is a much more refreshing and up beat one than “Dagger” is on the original release.

and he also can’t justify his use of bitch, ‘ho or gatt. He throws the words around in this “I’m so tough” manner that he totally loses sight of any sort of unifying idea. Like rock artists who are guilty of the worst forms of heavy metal posing, it’s rappers like Schooly D who are turning rap into an antiquated art form. Even though I think artists like Gangstarr and Guru are doing the most exciting things in hip hop today, I’m not saying that Schooly D should turn down that path, but if he is going to limit himself to one I genre, ne neeasI *to I.’ Dring -in some innovation to continue to make it interesting. However, rather than bringing new ideas into a form that he started, Schooly D is throwing around cliches and demonstrating that most hated of artistic ineptitudes - boredom. blues-seventies-rip-roaring-guitarscreaming-in-yer-face-grunge-soulsound. The songs range from a straight B.B. King cover of “It’s My Own Fault” to a heavier ‘Seattle Sound’ of “Deep End” (which is also the first single.) The album is initiated with impressive blues steel slide guitar riffs on “Western Coast”. “Play The Blues” sounds like The Tea Paq and “Learned the Hard Way” demonstrates some asskicking guitar playing with Gogo’s gravel-and-honey voice. There hasn’t been quite a guitar player/songwriter since maybe Colin James first album and Jeff Healy that matches Gogo’s style, emotion, and capability. Gogo’s songs are solidly based and not filled with cheap cliched lyrics which makes him a promising young artist with a bright future ahead of him. I just hope he doesn’t get influenced by the idea of finding his roots in the Bee Bop Era and continue to produce great bluesrock music.

Warrior Soul and My Sister’s Machine are both hard rock bands who have just released new albums that are trying to follow up previous successes, the latter not failing as miserably as the former. Warrior Soul is a very strong street survivor type band from New York that already has three excellent albums under its bek With names like “Last Decade Dead Century”, “God, Drugs, and the New Republic”, and “Salutations From the Ghetto Nation” you expect angst-driven conspiracy rock, and that’s just what you get. Unfortunately, their latest is a rambling, confused mess that doesn’t know if it’s psychedelic or hard rock or... something else. It’s mostly filler songs with a few strong offerings (notably “Ha Ha Ha” and “Concrete Frontier”), which is the opposite of albums past This is an album that will be hard for anyone who likes Warrior Soul to listen to in its entirety, the lyrics being drunkenstonedpoeticmutterings. Gone are the inner city anthems where lead singer and angry poet Kory Clarke would rail at “the friendly face of the Empire leader”, with lyrics like “Put your money where your mouth is/So I can shove it down your throat”. On Chill Pill, you get drivel like “I’m so gentle/Gentle and cute/Don’t want to hurt ya/But I got the noose” or “Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he/Kick it on down kick it on down/Kick it Pelham I, 2, 3”. The lyrics of the song “Mars” are repeated in “High Road”. Anyone interested in grinding and angry social protest hard rock is advised to pass upchill Pill and track down any one of the first three excellent releases instead, especially if you play varsity sports at UW. Check out the Joy Division cover of “Interzone” on “God, Drugs, and the New Republic” for some real fun. My Sister’s Machine’s latest release misses a bit of the intensity of their first release “Diva” (as well as the raging psychotic title track) however doesn’t disappoint quite the way that Warrior Soul does, giving us more of the throaty vocals and grungy power chords. Although My Sister’s Machine is from Seattle, they veer away from the true grunge of other bands, sounding more like an average longhair hard rock band (or Alice in Chains). Notable tracks are “Enemy” and “This is Fear”, The album as a whole is somewhat uneven, with mood varying greatly from one track to the next - in one song the chords are catchy (or cheezy] while in others they crunch and burn, however strong writing is generally one of the bands merits and My Sister’s Machine certainly deserves more attention than they’re getting.

by Andrew Hood-Morris special to Imprint Mouth 392, Pupka, Reduct... Variations on the Heimlich manouver? No, just the members of Digital Poodle. Division is Digital Poodle’s best release yet, I really believe that. And I haven’t even been influenced by the fact that their press release claims the album was recorded “...in ‘Virtual Audio’ demonstrationg mutations of styles such as goth, metal and hardtrance.*’ What the hell is ‘Virtual Audio’? Why does Digital Poodle recorded in “Virtual Audio” sound so much like Digital Poodle recorded in Non-Virtual Audio? Questions without answers. Nor have 1 been influenced by the fact that they now referto their style as “Cyber Techno Industrial”. Wow! Maybe I should phone them up and explain to them that there is still part of the marketplace they are secluding themselves from. Maybe they should call themselves “Cyber Techno Industrial Grunge”. Ha! No, these things have not affected me. It all comes down to one basic fact - the music is good. The title track opens the album off setting the tone for itsmain theme - the separation of the baltic states from the former U.S.S.R. This segues into “Forward March”, a song D.P. describes as a “militaristic trash dirge”. “Head of Lenin” and “Reform” should go over well with the electronic body music crowd while “Crack” is currently being played in U.K. darkwave clubs. However, the latter half of this album is definitely not as strong as the theme disappears and songs become somewhat disjointed. The sound reverts somewhat to that of their I99 I debut ‘Soul Crush’. I am led to believe this is slightly older material. Also, perhaps Pupka Frey was given a stronger hand here(Pupka has a purely dance influenced solo project, DIN). Who knows? These feelings aside, this is Digital Poodle’s strongest release to date and for fans, as well as the uninitiated, well worth a listen.

This limited edition E.P. from the Charlatans comes in a special box with three postcards of the band, all for the regular price of a single. The song “I Never Want an Easy Life if Me and He Were Ever to Get There” is an amazing tune. It’s definitely one of the better songs on “Up to our Hips,” an aggressive tune that makes a good contrast to some of the lighter, unimpressive stuff th& Charlatans sometimes do. Speaking of the lighter, unimpressive stuff the Charlatans sometimes do, the B-sides, “Only a Boho” and “Subterranean,” fit this description. These tunes aren’t too bad, but they don’t stand out like the single. A demo version of “Can’t Get Out of Bed,” the first single released from Up to Our Hips, is also present here. It’s a little slower than the original and, obviously, being a demo, the sound isn’t as polished. Die hard fans of the Charlatans should pick this one up. Otherwise, don’t bother. Grab Up to Our Hips instead.

Fusion jazz funk and east Indian sounds, Material proves that sound genres can and should mix, creating haunting, lilting, and at times grooving music. Material have been around in one from or another since 1979 and Hducinc~tion Engine is the baby of original bassist/producer Bill Laswell, who finds help in an internationally assorted collection of session musicians, including the most distinguished William S, Burrroughs. Mixing samples, saxophones, synthesizers, congas, and sitars, Laswell flavours his music with a peppering of funky bass lines, drifting sax and string treble lines, and melodic eastern chanting vocals. Of the eight tracks, most of which run over eight minutes, the opener “Blat k Light,” and the two middle tracks “Words of Advice,” and “Cucumber Slumber (fluxus mix),” highlight the album. The shortest track, and the best, “Words of Advice” features a dub verl sion of William S. Burrough’s poem of the same name. With Burroughs himself providing the vocals, and laswell giving up the samples and beat, “Words of Advice (for young people today),” centres the album and is cause for its parental advisory label, despite the fact that Burroughs is old enough to Daddy to all of America. “Beware of whores who say they don’t want money,” rambles on Burroughs, “what they really mean is they want more money.” Msre in tune with the overall mix cf Hallucination Engine, “Cucumber Slumber” is the second strongest track. Hammond organ, sax, and plenty of bizzare percussion instruments make this track a subaquatic dreamscape, floating off with sensory-depravationtank melodies. While this album wouldn’t neccesarily be found in the World Music section of your local record store, it rarely harkensa North American mood. As r&b influenced middle eastern or sitar bound r&b music, Material deftly weaves its influences into a solid musical experience. Throw in a little American gothic, a la William S., and enjoy. Hauntingly funky and celestial.

no/-Minded. After a mediocre previous album, Sex & Violence, which taught but lacked flav, KRS-ONE has reverted to his old ways and has looked to the past for success. The theme of the album centers around hard, ruff, ragga boy beats, and original hip-hop styles, He seems to believe that today’s market is saturated with posers who know nothing about rap but cannot help hopping on the bandwagon in order to get paid. The album features raw, old school beats produced by Premier (one of the most respected D)‘s on the East coast), Kid Capri and KRS himself. The mix of hip-hop and a touch of

dancehall reggae gives his beats a unique sound not found on today’s music scene. True to his character, Kris always has a lesson to teach in his rhymes. His topics span from a story of his street days in “Outta Here” to religion in “Higher Level”. If you’re looking for lyrical content, Kris is the man. He occasionally gets away from his trademarked style of rhyme to incorporate a bit of dancehall “chatting” in the tracks to keep consistent with his musical production, which doesn’t really impress me but at least he doesn’t overdo it. Kris you’re from New York City, not Kingston. Nevertheless, his flow occasionally does change pace dramatically which is uncharacteristic, but welcome within the framework of the various tracks. “I Can’t Wake Up” on the LP gives props to his fellow true hip-hoppers such as Redman, Cypress Hill and Greg Nice. Yo, check this rhyme out,, it’s gotta remind you of old BDP. “Are you tired of lyrical liars, passin’ RyersMcannabe MC’s, but really good tryers./Trippin’ over mic cords, getting ya bored,/A total fraud, this kinda thing I can’t afford&o I..., pick up the mic & kill it, ill it, top bill it,/The club is askillet, while MC’s get fried in it/You got beef chill it, blood I spill it,/After 7 long years of rippin the party I’m still with it.” The album has the Kris you expect with a bit of a twist to it possibly due to outside production from Premier. The beats are phat and so is the production.

So, he can play the piano, he can sing, and he likes controversy. Elton John’s new album Duel is in no way extraordinary or even good. Boring, maybe. I guess since Frank Sinatra was doing it, Elton John decided to do it too. On this album you have Elton John with k-d. lang, P.M. Dawn, Kiki Dee, Tammy Wynette, Gladys Knight, Paul Young and a whole list of performers that I had never heard of. (Bono was already singing with the other old man). The only memorable song is “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me,” with George Michael. Even Leonard Cohen lent hisvoice toan unmemorable song. Disappointingly, most songs weren’t written by John or the guest art&s. Not even Cohen could make this album a worthwhile buy.
