ancillary fees for fall Fees could

rise to $122 per year

by &$f Warner and Heather Robinson Xmptint stc@ Next year University of Waterloo students can expect to fork out another $24.3 I per term in new ancillary fees, says Federation of Students’ president Catherine Coleman.

The fees are to be approved by the Board of Governors April 5.

Coleman, one of four members of the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Student Fees, says the committee spent “an awful lot of hours” on the ancillary fee issue, holding more than 20 meetings in the past year. The committee made recommendations on areas covered by the fee, how to set it up and the its amount, and according to Coleman, they tried to get a balance for what was “fair” for students. *‘Students are paying a new fee...so on that point I’m not happy...but this is probably the best process to arrive at that fee,” said Coleman.

Full-time undergraduate students can expect to pay $48.62 for 1994195. The estimated fee for I 995/ 96 is $8 1.27 and $ I 22. I2 for I9961 97. Full-time graduate students can expect to pay $32.40, and then estimated fees of $8 I .27 and $ I2 I .83

Grad

for the next two years.

On March 18, the committee sent their ancillary fee recommendations to Jim Kalbfleisch, vice president, academic and provost The Board of Governors executive approved those recommendations on March 22 Coleman has said that expected the ancillary fee to be between $80 and $95 per term. Other universities have annual ancillary fees of nearly $200, compared with UW’s expected final fee of $6 I .06.

Daryl Novak, of WPIRG’s Ancillary Fee Workgroup says the final ancillary fee is “not really” tower than expected.

The Workgroup was to present a petition, signed by an unknown number of students to the Federation of Students on March 30 asking that a referendum be held on whether to have ancillary fees at all.

The Workgroup was unaware that the recommendations had already been passed and are now out of the hands of students.

The fees are being implemented in order to cover annual costs for non-academic services.

Due to the government’s transfer payment cutbacks, over $2.5 million must be collected over three years to<cover partial costs for setv-

The battle over newsgroup bannings has entered a new phase.

Graduate student Brent Robertson has placed a petition before the Ethics Committee to have four books in University of Waterloo libraries, and three additional newsgroups, banned on campus.

Robertson has requested that Plato’s The Symposium, Bear: Q novel

by Marian Engel, Lolitcl by Vladimir Nabokov, and show Me! by Wi II McBride be removed from UW library shelves because they contain possibly illegal material comparable to the material found in the banned newsgroups.

A self-described libertarian, Robertson is t@ng to make a point about the fairness of the newsgroup bannings by forcing the Ethics Committee to reexamine the issue.

“I would like to see the Committee overturn the ban and examine the process, ” stated Robertson. “‘And if they’re gbng to censor stuff, they should treat all media fairly.”

According to Robertson, the banning of the newsgroups, and the procedure that was followed in removing them from the UW system,

ices such as operations of the Modern Languages Gallery, the Theatre of Arts, Health Services, Safety, Personal Counselling, Athletics Administration, and Career Services.

The committee initially identified about $3.9 million in 1992/93 costs, and fingered an expected fee of approximately $100 per term.

However, more than $ I ,3 million was removed from consideration duringthe negotiations &ausesome areas are implementing alternate revenue sources such as a user pay system for the Theater Centre. Some services, such as Personal Counselting, were identified as being the joint responsibility of students and the institiution.

A Student Services Advisory Committee (SSAC) will now be es-

were unjust and entirely contrary to the recommendation; of the Advisor-y Committee on Network News.

The Advisory Committee was convened in 1990. In their report released May I99 I, the Committee recommended that “the Universiv’s primary tinue to receive newsgroups generated internally and all newsgroups which arrive over the nehrvorks to which the university is connected.”

The committee report also strongly recommended that any moves regarding newsgroups and the material therein be done only after consultation with all users on campus. Robertson is angered that no such consultation took place.

“They paid no attention to the com-

Jim Kalbfleisch as saying that the petition would change nothing.

“I have a big problem with that.

Administration should be accountable,” argued Robertson.

Robertson quoted PresidentJim Downey as saying that the original banningwas just tokenism. Accordto ing Robertson

bolic act to improve UWs image.

“Tokenism has no place at university, they’re just playing a media game,” asserted Robertson.

It was also pointed out by Robertson that numerous other newsgroups contain illegal material, but were not removed.

Picture newsgroups containing possible offen& material were not removed because, according to’ Robertson, those investigating the newsgroups

asked in his petition to the Ethics Committee that the uw.general, can.general, and can.politics newsgroups be removed.

Robertson wants to challenge the notion that the Universiv of Waterloo is legally responsible for the Internet material it receives. Both he and the Advisory Committee believe that responsibility should rest with the person who post5 the material.

“They don’t charge Bell for illegal phone calts,” Robertson pointed out.

Sally Gunz, Chair of the Ethics Committee, said that the committee will handle Robertson’s petition in the routine way. It is to be discussed at the next committee meeting. Gunz feels, however, that is not the committee’s place to deal with printed material on campus. She pointed out that books are screened prior to being received by the university. Gunz also feels that there are more important issues to deal with.

“The petition ignores the dilemma. Do you challenge the laws or

The SSAC will be responsible for reviewing Student Services supported in whole or in part by ancillary fees, to advise the provost on financial proposals and adequacy of the student services, and to advise the Ancillary Fee Committee on the amount of the Student Services Ancillary Fee and the establishment or change in user fees charged.

The Ancillary Fee Committee began meeting last spring, and includes Robin Banks, associate provost, Academic Affairs; Dorothy Battae, treasurer, Duncan Phillips, president of the Graduate Student Association, and Catherine Coleman, president of the Federation of Students.

Charges will be laid against two 8oard of Entertainment (Bent) security guards after a beating at Fed Hall two weeks ago.

Two students allege that Bent personnel followed them out of the bar and assaulted them following a Spirit of the West concert on March 18. One student sustained a broken wrist, while the other was knocked unconscious and received cuts to his mouth. Campus Police Director Al MacKenzie is refusing to name the individuals involved, though charges of assault causing bodily harm were filed, he said.

The incident began shortly after I am, when the students attempted to re-enter Fed Hall to search for their friends. According to Kyle Scott, the Fed Hall doorman on duty at the time, they were refused entry, and told numerous times to wait outside. One student became verbally abusive, prompting Scott to place him in a headlock Releasing the student, Scott and another Fed Hati doorman began to push both students down to the exit,

The students have a slightly different story, however, claiming that Scott put one student into a headlock twice, and dragged him down the ramp and out the door. A third student, a friend still inside Fed Hall, asked the doormen what happened and was arso led out of the building by a Bent security guard.

student was also punched in the face, and broke his wrist when he fell to the ground. The Bent employees then returned to the building.

The third student called campus police, and asked a Bent guard to call an ambulance. Theguard allegedly refused, telling him to “go home.”

The injured students were taken to K-W hospital, though it is unclear who called the ambulance.

Fed Hall manager Chuck McMullan defended Scott’s actions, saying that no apology to the students was required. “phe student] was out of control” and required physical restraining, he continued. He questioned why the students did not choose to wait in the lobby, instead of becoming aggressive and abusive to the doorman.

No Fed Hall employee has ever been charged with assault, he noted, and students feel “safe” there because the doormen “don’t put up with any guff, and we don’t beat the hell out of them.” He called the assault an “unfortunate incident,*’ and noted the “tremendous low percentage of incidents with people who come here.”

“We should remember that rights are not the same as needs and desires,” he stated. He also cautioned against the “slippery slope effects” of a possible legalization of assisted suicide. Coercion and the “killing” of the elderly who cannot give their own consent could be the dire consequences, he and many others in the room believed.

“It seems that every time we try to get the criminal code and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to work together, that we create a huge mess,” said Canary. Her views were the most “philosophical” of the four presented.

They seemed to have little to do with the actual case.

Comments from those in attendance were cautious. Sue Rodriguez has sparked a controversy that disturbs most people’s codes of morals and ethics. Stephen Hawking was brought up as the anti-case to Sue Rodriguez.

He also has Lou Gehrig’s disease, yet he still feels that he is living a worthwhile life. Many who spoke felt strongly about life’s merits, and cases were presented of people who had wanted to die, but were prevented from commiting suicide and later fett the right decision had been made by those around them.

Professor Viminitr’ comment summarized the complexity of the issue.

“Ethical scepticism is the luxury of those who are not involved,” he said., “Things look different when it happens to you, or to someone close to ycxd.”

Feds Fiscally Fine

by Hat Imprint

march 3 I, I994

thursday,

M. Piro stqff

The current Feds are packing it in next month, and they are proud to be able to finish a fiscally sound year.

Though profits of some services were slightly lower than last year due to restructuring, the profits overall have come out in the Feds favour by about $80,000.

“We under-budgeted our income by about $50,000 at the beginning, because we underestimated the number of undergraduates for 1993-94,” says George Van Nooten, vice president of operations and finance to the Federation of Students.

So far Scoops and Fed Hall made the best profits.

The Campus Shop, despite its unfortunate new location in a backcorner of the Campus Centre, managed to stay in the black.

The Used Book Store has also done well, though some new purchases of capital items such as Datapac lines for instant MC and VISA purchases, have slightly lowered its profits from last year.

The Bombershelter’s profits have also decreased slightly.

“Due to the price wars going on last year, and a call for consistency between our two bars, the Bomber lowered their prices,” saysvan Nooten.

“As a result, the actual net profit dropped, even though sales actually increased.”

Graphix Factory, the Post Office, and the Music Source are still losing money, though they are losing less than in the previous year.

“Overall the Feds are in a very good position for next year,” feels Van Nooten. “Come April 30th, we will be standing at approximately $85 000 $ IO0 000 in the black.”

Tuition will increase $202 for the 1994-95 school year, and $223 the year after that, leaving tuition at $245 I for the 95-96 year.

Floyd Laughren, the provincial minister of finance, in his statement to the legislature, attempted to remove some of the blame for the major financial problems that the province is currently experiencing, which have led to these increases. “it cut tobacco taxes, forcing Ontario to reduce its own tax on tobacco products, and in its budget, the federal government enshrined unfairness to Ontario by extending the previous government’s cap on social assistance to Ontario.

pushing our revenue shortfall to $2.1 billion in total.”

Dave Cooke, the Minister of Education and Training then made a statement to the legislature in which the tuition hikes were announced.

“Our colleges and universities have a vital role to play in the economic renewal of the province. Their importance is recognized...” He continued to say “I understand why students are concerned about tuition fee increases. The cost of postsecondary education can be difficult to manage in times of economic strain.”

Changing tactics from obsequious to assertive, Cooke stated that “postsecondary education is welt-subsidized.” The provincial government currently supplies seventy-five percent of all revenues received by colleges and universities.

This amounted to $ I.8 billion in 1994-95.

Cooke continued to stress that this fee increase is for the purpose of

Hikes making university more accessible. “We must maximize access to colleges and universities.”

Due to the social contract, none of the additional revenue can go to increasing salaries, and Cooke plans for it to go towards increasing enrollment. ‘“More opportunities and spaces are needed.”

Cooke also announced that “No increases in the compulsory, non-tuition related ancillary fees currently charged by each university will be permitted unless these increases are approved by students.”

The Canadian Federation of Students was outraged at the tuition increases. Ontario chairperson for the federation, Jason Hunt said “The NDP government has abandoned its principles of equity and access choosing instead to target students as a source of revenue for their mismanaged budget.”

Since 1990, including the new raises, tuition has increased by 42 per cent, provincial grants have been reduced IO per cent and grants have been eliminated from the Ontario Student Assistance Program. The Canadian Federation of Students calls the effect of this a ‘!most effective financial barrier to postsecondary education.”

Lyn Mcleod, provincial Liberal leader and leader of the opposition, voiced her opposition during question period, asking Premier Bob Rae, “How can you claim education is a priority when your tuition hikes put postsecondary education out of reach for so many students?”

Mcleod also mentioned that since youth unemployment is currently over I9 per cent and many students can not even find summer jobs, “The tuition hike is unconscionable.”

Dave Cooke finished his speech to the legislature with these words. “In providing stable operating funding, combined with the tuition fee increase announced today, I believe institutions can and should be able to meet the growing demand for postsecondary education in Ontario.”

He did not state whether or not he has considered if students can meet the growing price.

Four Profs Honoured

by Kut Imprint

M. Fire stcf#

Professors don’t teach. Professors just want to be doing research anyway. In university, the “teachers” wilt never take any time for you. NOT. Last week the winners of the Distinguished Teacher’s Awards were announced.

They are Dr. Gisela Brude-Firnau, of Germanic and Slavic languages and literatures, Dr. Stanley Liken of the school of Accountancy, Dr. Alexander Penlidis of chemical engineering, and Catherine Black of French Studies.

“I am very honoured and pleased,” says Catherine Black. “It takes an effort on the part of the student to actually nominate someone.”

Penlidis agrees.

“This award is the highest form of recognition, because it comes from the students,” he says.

However, neither professor feels

that their teaching styles are very different from anyone else’s, “As a person I’m trying to give all that I can to my students,” says Black, who has been teaching at UW since 1985. Among other things, she has created the course French Through Drama, which offers studenti an atternative setting for learning a language than a language lab does. “lf you like doing something, then you will be enthusiastic about it, and you will communicate that enthusiasm to the students,“says Penlidis. He has been teaching at UW since 1986.

Professor Gisela Brude-Firnau was not available for comment as she has just spent a semester teaching Waterloo students at the University of Mann heim, Germany.

by Marg Szepietowska special to Imprint withjilesfiom the UbysseY The federat government has proposed steps to reduce the number of young people on social assistance--by asking them to relinquish their claim to welfare and UL Lloyd Axworthy, the minister of human resources development proposes that young people between the ages of I8 and 24 be given a “guarantee” to receive job training, apprenticeship, or education, and in return they would give up their right to sociat assistance benefits. The “guarantee,” however, does not promise any wage.

The proposal is only one of several being considered over the summer in the current “revamp” of social services, which will also include changes to student Ioans and a “youth service corps.”

Axworthy’s promised “fairness, hope and a sense of security” will likely not be brought to university and college-educated young people who cannot find work So far, this proposal has no details about how accessibility to education will be increased.

Axworthy said he is “looking at a major amendment to the whole student aid, student loan program so that we would broaden out the range of financial assistance for people that to go back to school.”

For those who cannot get into school, or are trained and cannot get jobs, Axworthy pointed to an “employer of last resorL.the community youth corps.”

This program would employ “about 15,000 young people to work..in inner cities, doing environmental, eco-tourism, a whole series of things.”

Education

The forum pagesallow members of the University of Waterloo community to present their views on various issues through letters to the editor and longercomment pieces. The opinionsexpressedin columns,comment pieces, letters, and other articles in these pages are strictly those of the authors, not of Imprint. Only articles which are clearly labelled “editorial” and are unsigned represent the majority opinion of the Imprint editorial board.

byKenBryson Just what the hell is Metaphysical Education anyways, you ask? Well, I don’t right know. 5ut I’ll tell you the story anyways.

There I was, sitting with my brother in the University of Saskatchewan student building/subterranean mall having just visited that school’s student newspaper office, one which was terribly disorganised and not terribly accommodating, and I needed a name for my column, which I was to write the first of two weeks later.

The term “meta” came up, as it often does when we talk about anything related to reality or philosophy or literary~social criticism, and I thought I should incorporate it into my column name. And so the name appeared in my head and with it, I ran.

Two weeks later I wrote that first column and explained my title as what I hoped to receive at UW: not just a plain business minded education, but a thought provoking meta-education.

One that would equip me to think critically about life and the world, and to express my thoughts clearly. Admittedly, I haven’t always expressed myself clearly here in my column, but then again, on top of everything else I’ve had to do weekly, I didn’t always have time to even think clearly.

And now you’re not going to have me here anymore to make fun of, criticise, like, dislike, or whatever it is you do with this corner of Imprint.

And now I get to return to my relative anonymity, taking classes, writing exams and essays, and having a life elsewhere on campus than here, leaving the starship Imprint to Mr. Paranoia himself.

As for everyone else on this campus, I think I can say without much obscuring of the truth that you really don’t care much abour anything but where you’re going in life, let alone think about anything that disagrees with your worldview, which is a shame. Many debatable issues have raised their heads on campus over the last year, and you all have virtually ignored them.

But now is not the time to whine and complain about “student apathy.” All I can say is that I have done everything I could to inform you of what I thought you should know - I have even called you a bunch of fucking apathetic losers for not paying attention. But to what avail?

I doubt this campus is any different now that it was 52 weeks ago, and I would be naive to think it was. This paper, however, is tremendously different, and not even because of me. Our staff turnover has been unparalleled in the history of Imprint, with many experienced staffers moving out and making way for the new. And that can be nothing but encouraging, even if you do think Imprint was better before.

So have I meta-educated you yet? I guess I will never know. But like Sandy says in final Paranoia this week, 600 words is not enough to change anyone’s mind, and so I don’t expect that I have.

One thing defnately hasn’t changed though. And that is what I think about how people should consider life. So to quote Vaclev Have1 once again: there is only one way to strive for decency, reason, responsibility, sincerity, civility, and tolerance - that is decently, reasonable, responsibly, sincerely, civilly, and tokrantly.

So there you go, again. Hasta la vista.

thursday,

Of Queens, Monarchists and Girl Guides I

can’t take it anymore. I have to speak up.

Society is failing to pieces and no one cares! I was wandering through life here at university in blissful ignorance that was shattered recently by page three of the Record. No, I’m not upset that there wasn’t a Sunshine Girl (ok, I’m a little upset), I’m upset that at all levels, society is in turmoil!

Allow me to illustrate.

The Girl Guides of Canada are planning to change their oath. They are deleting reference to the Queen!! Fortunately, the decision is not final.

There is still time to do something abut it “What can I, an overworked, underappreciated and generally poverty-stricken university student do about this”, you are asking yourself? Fortunately, the Monarchist League of Canada has the solution. They are calling for a national boycott of Girl Guide cookies to show that we, the people,are mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore! League president John Aimers says “We’re going to boycott their cookies, if necessary, to see that this leading Canadian youth organization doesn’t...attack_ ... the monarthy.” Good job, John! Give ‘em hell!

If you thought that was bad, you better not read this: the Ontario government is considering cutting off grants to table tennis and baton twirling organizations.

In this day and age, when it is more important than ever to work to give our children a good healthy sense of identity, the bastard officials at Queen’s Park are having a field day cutting off vital programs that keep the potential leaders of tomorrow from becoming the crack addicts of today.

Can’t you picture it? Hundreds, if not thousands of former ping pong players and baton twirlers roaming the streets, getting into drugs, violence. premarital sex and countless other evils.

I say this cannot be tolerated!

While the provincial government is failing us, the ladies and gents in Ottawa are doing us proud!

Hard at work as ever, they have recently decided which private members bills are to receive further debate and eventual vote in the House of Com-

march 3 I, I 994

mons, Private members bills are, by definition, independent ofgovernment sponsorship, and thus represent independent thought by MP’s trying to see to the concerns of their constituents.

These MP’s have come up with some winners, issues that truly represent myself, my friends and my family. In fact, I feel that these issues are indicative of the national mood and it is a wonder that there has not been more outcry that they have been neglected for so long!

One issue that definitely requires debate is a proposal to allow the Auditor General to report more than once a year. This is an important issue.

On one hand, he might have something to say more than once a year. But on the other hand, give him an inch and he’ll take a mile. Let him report more than once a year and the next thing you know he’ll be blathering away every day, wasting everybody’s time. No one wants any time wasted in the House of Commons.

Another proposal is to have all food and

beverage makers put expiry dates onail packages.

Sounds like a good sensible idea to me. If that Kraft Dinner might have gone bad, I want to know!

By far the most important issue that will receive more debate is a proposal to make hockey Canada’s national sport I thought it was already!

This must be fixed immediately or the identity of every man and woman who proudly calls themselves a Canadian is in jeopardy.

Some bills that didn’t make it through the gruelling selection procedure included one that would lower the age that someone could be charged with a crime from I2 to IO, and a submission from Svend Robinson concerning the legalization of assisted suicide. Oh well, you can’t have it all.

I have some ideas to help put society back on track. I think the guys and girls in Ottawa, even though they already have a gruelling workload, should add one more bill to their list. I want it to be a law that no one is allowed to drop references to the Queen from their oaths! The Queen represents a glorious tradition, going back centuries, to the days when the British Monarch ruled the seas and half the world! I mean, she has to be useful right? There’s no way that some foolish tradition could have persisted this long.

Now, with those rebellious little Girl Guides kept in line, we wouldn’t have any problem, would we? The Monarchist League can go on monarchising or whatever is it they do, the girl guides can go on selling their cookies, and everybody can go on buying them with a clear conscience.

As for the province cutting grants to culture groups, this must also be disallowed. I think the government has a commitment to promote culture, and a responsibility to all of us to see that our children do not end up stoned or pregnant. 1 mean, if there were no baton twirlers, what would we use to show off when the Queen came to visit?

Women/yn have same To the editoc Well, I didn’t read the first letter about “nasty cunts” (written by Kate), and I didn’t read the stern response that it provoked (written by Kim}, but I too have something to say on the subject Prior to entering university four years ago, my only understanding of the word “feminist” conjured up images of 1960s women who didn’t shave their legs and marched in rallies. Since then, my mother has received her degree, and 1 realize that she is also a feminist - a divorcee who fought for her kids, bought out the house and worked her way through school to further her career.

Then I developed friendships with feminists, both male and female. These were people who were concerned with the treatment of women: their safety and their physical/mentatlemotional well-being.

I had a feminist boss at one of my part-time jobs last year, She was an incredibly efficient woman, commanding respect from all of her colleagues and employees.

After awhile, I disregarded the annoying connotation of the word “feminist” and I accepted the fact that I am one too. I am proud of my womanhood, I strive towards achieving equality between the sexes, and I intend to teach my children these values in the future.

I never thought that feminists were women who had nothing better to do than sit around and argue over terminiology!

Call them what you will: “women”, “womyn”, “cunt”, “vagina”, “buzz saw”, or “wrench” (very creative!), etc. etc.

Personally, I think that some of these terms are a little vulgar (sorry Kate, I don’t want to start another argument!), but what the hell difference does it make?!!

Aren’t we all on the same side of this issue! Woman or womyn, don’t we all want to destroy old gender stereotypes, end violence, and educate the next generation in the hopes that these negative attitudes will not prevail?

I do not think that any of these ridiculous arguments are helping the situation at all. Actually, I think that all of this effort to win the debate could by put to a far better use. Go out and volunteer at a women’slwomyn’s shelter, go read some feminist authors, write a bitchy letter to an MP...ANTTHING!!!...because these verbal battles are becoming just a little tedious and repetitive.

I don’t care what words you describe yourselves with, just remember that we should all be working for the same cause - not fighting against each other.

Celebrate your womanhood To the editor: We were very disturbed to read the letter to the editor titled “Proud Women” in Imprint (March 18). Since the authors stated that they would welcome a response. we would like to clarify a few points.

I. The spelling “womyn” is not used to degrade women or their achievements.

It is used by some to emphasize the gender bias inherent in the English lan-

forum

guage. The object is not to change the spelling of the word “woman”, an obviously futile cause, but to encourage people to replace words such as “policeman” with “police officer”. Substitutions such as this one are used to include women into the language, and should not be perceived as “man-hating”.

Women’s week is not meant to segregate men from woman. To my knowledge, all of the events of the last week were open to members of both sexes. We live in a patriarchal society, so often issues that affect women are ignored by the media. Women’s week provides people with the opportunity to

something’s economically efficient, while at the same time destroys nonrenewable resources and poisons the air we breathe, is it good?

green pieces of paper. This is strange because it wasn’t the small, green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Surely students in environmental studies and economics are more eloquent than I about these matters. Did you write?

Finally, a brief response to Craig Nickerson’s column, “The Village Atheist.” I found Craig’s comparison between himself and Jesus mildly amusing, and he has made a few good points in previous columns. However, unless he considers his arguments more carefully in the future, I don’t think he’s rally going to contribute much to our discussion of religion.

3. The purpose of the article “Why Everyone Should Be A Lesbian” was not to convert heterosexuals to homosexuality, but to present some ofthe failings of the predominant heterosexual view of our society, and to outline the ways in which a lesbian may avoid these problems. Of course everyone in our society should have the freedom to decide their own sexual orientation. However, in our homophobic society the never-ending message is that heterosexism is the only acceptable choice. This message is much more pervasive and therefore much more damaging than the message you perceived in the article mentioned above.

4. Women’s week contained many talks and workshops concerning issues which are important to all women. The breast cancer workshop was one of them.

However, so was the Whitewash workshop since it provided women with the opportunity to find out about the dangers associated with commercieal menstrual products.

“Body Image” was another important workshop since our socieity demands that women be preoccupied and dissatisfied with their appearance, “Feminist Profs at UW’ was an eyeopening talk which dealt with the current issues of being a woman in academia.

There were also events such as the Women’s Coffeehouse and Women on the Verge which celebrated women, and gave both wome and men theopportunitiy to appreciate the talents of women artists. Unfortunately we cannot do justice to all of the events of women’s week due to space constraints.

The use of the word “feminist” (and “lesbianism”) in your article was also disturbing. By definition, a feminist is one who believes in equality of the sexes. The bad connotations surrounding the word are generated by people who do not support gender equality, and these connotations should not be confused with the word itself.

5. Women’s week is not against heterosexuals. Women’s week is also not agianst lesbians or bisexuals. Most of the talks and celebrations of last week should have been of interestto all women, regardIess of their sexual orientation,.

What we don’t know can hurt us To the editor: I am writing in response to Sandy Atwat’s “paranoia” column of last week Sandy’s thesis is that we don’t need to worry about destroying plant or animal species if they’re not going to do anything for us. He believes that we can use reason to show that the extinction of certain species will nor have ramifications.

First, we humans know diddly squat about the effects of extinguishing species on the Earth. We cannot reasonably show that a species will not be important in the future. And whose idea of reasonable will we use?

Many things affect us that we aren’t even aware of. The study of the biosphere is in its infancy, and we have far to go before we understand a fraction of it.

Even from a purely selfish point of view, we should not destroy our environment because we are destroying ourselves (yes, we are a part of our environment).

I encourage Sandy and everyone else to read John Brunner’s “The Sheep Look Up’ over the summer. It’s fiction, which is often easier to read than nonfiction. It incorporates a plethora of facts about our environmental problems and their interconnectedness.

Sandy’s pack rat analogy is rather strained. I am a pack rat, and I don’t think I’m suffering from keeping all of my stuff - it may be crap to you, but it’s not to me, I really don’t think the Earth is richer for all the species we’ve lost already. Who’s richer? Certainly CEOs of multinational corporations are richer, but what of it?

The column assumes that the viewpoint of traditional economics is valid.

This viewpoint doesn’t take into consideration some very important factors. If

Sad. I’m proud to be a woman and I’m proud to love men. They are evet-ything that I as a woman cannot be, and I am everything that they, as men, cannot be.

To me that is exciting, and that, more than anything, keeps the sexes equal.

I am a firm believer in the equality of all sexual orientations, but why do I feel unaccepted as a heterosexual woman? If we are going to end up living in a sexual melting pot, stop the earth, I want to get off - away to a world where men and women can enjoy each other’s company and accept and be proud of their differences without obliterating the opposite sex. I know that what I have learned about the women’s movement here at the University in no way necessarily represents the world-wide movement Needless to say, I’m getting the hell out of here to live in the real world and find out for myself.

This is in direct response to Peter Hoflich’s article “Fishbone Fries, doesn’t sizzle”. I’d like to know how much crack that boy smoked before the show, because his head was definitely not in the building. FISHBONE not only sizzled, they smoked the joint down.

Steuter To the editor:

Question I lent $ I.000 to my partner last term and now that we are separated I want the money paid back.

Should I get a lawyer and sue?

Answer No! There are several steps you can take to get your money back without getting legal counsel.

Contact your ex-partner over the phone or in person to discuss the issue. It is best to bring a friend along if you’re are meeting him/her in person or have your friend listen in on an extension if you initiate contact over the phone. Your friend must understand that they are acting as a witness to the business about to be transacted and that they may be called upon in a court of law to qubstantiate your claim to what transpired bet\rkeen you and your ex-partner.

Talk to the oth@- party with the witness present and negotiate a specific rime frame for the moeny to be paid. i BE FIRM. It is your money and it needs to be pai back. Often a person’s lack of assertiveness in this type of issue only prolongs the process of restitution.

This is not your goal. your goal is to get what is owed you back as fast as is practicable.

Try to be flexible to the needs of your ex-partner if th&y need to pay the money back in installments.

But,vwhatever you do, once the terms are agreed upon get them in writing and signed by all parties

concerned.

Remember to make two originals of the document, have them signed, and keep one for your records and then wait to see if he or she meets the terms of your agreement.

If they do not make payments or only pay a portion of the money you may then decide to take them to small claims court. It is located on Queens Street in Kitchener. There you would register your complaint and at a scheduled hearing at a later date you will present evidence on your behalf. Remember that if your evidence is verbal or you do not have witnesses your case will not be based on very solid grounds of evidence which may cause some difficulties for the judge in ruling on your case. Generally if the documentation is in order the other party will be required to make good the money owed you.

Two points of note: First, if you don’t have a witness available you may wish to record your call or conversation as a method of verifying what actually transpired between you and your expartner. This method is not recommended. Though the tape can be admissable as evidence in the court this form of evidence is not often accepted by the courts. Secondly, pay the person borrowing the money by cheque. Write the purpose of the cheque in the Memo part of the cheque stub (i.e. Roger Smith Loan). Then you will have the canceiled cheque as proof positive who you lent the money to and what amount. Create a paper trail from where your money stays to where it is going and to whom.

thursday,

The lights fall on the stage, spotlight shines against the curtuins us they part. Opening bars of “My way. ” And now, the end is near/ I’ve come to face, the find curtain.

I swing my rain coat nonchalantly over my shoulder. . .

But seriously folks, when I have to finish a column that I have been writing on and off for the past four years, it’s hard not to get a little sentimental. There are very few things (other than going to UW and writing for Imprint) that I’ve been doing for four years, yet all through that time, I’ve managed to keep Paranoia around as a vent for my frustration and rage.

Writing a column in a student newspaper is much like. . . well it’s actually not like anything else. Sometimes you spend days researching a topic and putting together a series of well constructed arguments in the hope of sharing some of the knowledge that you’ve gained.

Sometimes you stagger back to the office at 2:00, sick with the drink and babble incoherently until (surprise) you’ve written 500 words.

Regrets I’ve had Q few. . .

Either way, you watch the letters to the editor float in week after week. 1have had the fortune, at least, to have various people write in who usually care deeply about subjects chastising me for one thing or another. This is unlike Mr. Nickerson’s column which regu~ larly receives letters from, and I can think of 1 no gentler way of putting it, sheer and utter idiots who are not interested in challenging their views.

I recently saw an article posted on the uw.imprint.d newsgroup that wondered if I was being serious, concluded that 1 was not and proceeded to state that he would not, as a rule, take what I said, as my opinions.

Well, believe it or not, I have rarely

written anything that I have not believed. My views may have changed, but for the most part I have presented a (marginal) libertarian position, shared by few, but one that I believe in the depths of my heart, is truly a reasonable and just concept.

Whether this has served more to anger or entertain, I am not sure, but it is what I believe.

I believe Marxism is hollow at the core.

I believe feminism is fundamentally misdirected.

I believe the free market engenders free minds.

As loopy and crazy these might seem, I find it funny that it is the same people who see themselves as enlightened (usually because they care deeply about one of the above issues I have marginalized) are usually the ones who bullheadedly reject what I say by bringing up some standard doctrine.

It is the same criticism of “big multinationals” or “the media” that these people throw at me. is not my plan (despite what you may have heard) to breed a race of Super Sandys where everyone will agree with me. I am not quite that naive, however, I believe that if we are at this university to receive an education, that includes keeping an open mind, and at least knowing thine enemy.

I’m not going to be finished altogether. As editor of imprint I’ll be writing a new column, but still, it won’t be the same. Responsibilities change when you come to represent a newspaper (which happens whether you like it or not) and I am well aware that basically nobody I know really believes what I believe, but still. . .

It

For what is a mcxh-hat has he got lfnot himself7 then be is naught To say the thingsl be truly feels ’ And not the words/ of one who kneels The records shows/ I took my blows And did it my way

I stole the title of my column from a debate I once saw between a fundamentalist Christian and some philosopher (I think it was Nagel) who was arguing against the literal truth of the Bible. Now this philosopher kept qualifying his statements with the phrase “I’m not the village atheist but...” He was trying to present himself as a reasonable and open minded intellectual rather than some miserable, bile-infested, crank. I got the impression that he was holding back on his criticism.

It seemed to me that he wanted to expose some of the more irrational beliefs that his opponent was espousing without stepping on the toes of any of those warm, fuzzy Christians.

It was like he didn’t want to be the schoolyard bully who goes around telling little kids that there is no Santa Claus.

Well, there isn’t. Further, I really don’t care if I am perceived as a crank. f mean it’s not like I am going to convince anyone of anything in a six-hundred word column.

Even if I were to adopt a polite, respectful style I doubt that I coutd argue any theist out of his irrational beliefs with honeyed words.

Most would think that I was a crank anyway, though a polite, respectful one, With this in mind I decided to anticipate and embrace the eventuality of being labeled a crank by using “the village atheist” as a title. This allowed me enormous freedom. I could say ail the things that the reasonable and open minded intellectual couldn’t. Funher, by using “the village atheist” rather than “atheism in the 20th century” or “the atheist perspective” or something along those lines, I am espousing my

own perspective rather than presuming to speak for all atheists. The buck stops here folks.

So why do it? Well Imprint already featured two religious columns and this irritated me to no end. Not for any “reason” reason, just for emotional crank reasons. So I got myself my own column.

Hey, I’ve done long dry columns stuffed with quotes from respected sources, I’ve shared some of the best arguments against the existence of god that there are, I’ve asked some serious questions of theists (for which I have yet to get a response) and I’ve structured entire columns around personal digressions of interest primarily to myself. Variety is the spice of life.

Let’s see, what else? I used to be a Christian.

No, I mean I was really into it. I went to a Baptist church and sang in a choir. I would say that I thought of myself as quite religious until the middle of high school. Then I started to become plagued with doubts concerning evolution vs. creation, determinism vs. free will, and science vs. religion. I read everything that I could get my hands on in order to justify my beliefs but found that I couldn’t.

I read the Bible more closely and found that it most of it was fairly appalling.

I knew quite a few people who had their own vague religious beliefs that included aspects of science and religion that they wanted to believe but ignored parts they didn’t, I tried this but found that it didn’t work At that point I began thinking myself as an agnostic and shortly thereafter an atheist. Viola!

STATUS

OF WOMEN

bg Khaled

IN ISLAM

Sharqf

Contrary to popular belief, women have a very important role to play in Islamic society; Muslim women are held in high esteem. The notion that Muslim women are prisoners in the home, is based on ignorance, rather than knowledge, of Istam. Islam recognizes the biological differences between men and women so although they are “equal,” they are not “the same.” Both are assigned their own roles within society along with the relevant rights and responsibilities.

In western society, where the obvious biological differences between men and women are overlooked in the quest of “equality,” the destabilizing effect this is having is plain for all to see. Broken marriages, illegitimate children and the breakdown of family life can all be said to arise, at least in part, from the move away from the nonacceptance of the supposedly “traditional” roles for men and women.

The most important thing recognized by Islam for the woman is that she has a personality of her own, a fact which is not recognized by any other social system of the world. While in Europe and America a woman is known by her husband’s name after her marriage, in Islam a woman is known by her personal name both before and after her marriage.

The status of woman in Islam is worthy of study ;nd research based on normative teachings of the holy Qur’an and the practice of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), rather than diverse cultural and social practices of individuals. Woman (being a daughter, a wife, r?mother and a sister in faith) has been addressed and promised Allah’s mercy in the Qur’anic verse: “BeLevers, men and women, are protectors of each other: they enjoin what is right and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular &at= iv, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise” [9:7 !]* In the house of Islam, women have the right to choose their husbands and should not be forced into

All

we

fashion

marriage against their wilt. They can divorce their husband if they so wish; an unsustainable marriage must not take precedence over the happiness of the parties concerned. Education is a right for women as well as men and all should have the opportunity to study at the highest levels. The only condition being that their modesty is not put at risk within the study situation. The same applies to the issue of whether women can seek employment or not.

Woman is entitled to freedom of expression as much as man. It is reported in Qur’an and history that woman not only expressed her opinion freely but also argued and participated in serious discussions with Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself. TheQur’an says: “Allah has heard the saying of her that disputes with you (Muhammad) concerning her husband and complains to Allah. And Allah hears your colloquy.

Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower” [58: I].

In the economic sphere, woman can earn, contract and possess property just as man can do. It is only within the last IS0 years that women have been regarded as citizens in Britain and able to own property etc. in their own names (not that of their husband). In comparison, Islam granted women the right to earn money and own property independently of their husbands and male relatives over I400 years ago!

Islam has also given her a share of inheritance+ AHah, be He glorified says: “For men is a portion of what is left by parents and relatives, and for women is a portion of what is left by parents and relatives, whether it is little or much, a fixed portion”[4:7].

Before Islam, woman was not only deprived of that share but was herself considered as a property inherited by mart!

Help, I’m stranded on the information super highway with a flat, and I don’t even have CAA. I was unprepared for my first experience with the Internet; it was a little like the first time I had sex. Everyone around me knew how to do it And like the man lying beside me -that, fateful night, the man sitting by my side in the arts computer lab has no idea that I just lost my Internet virginity (1 believed it then, why don’t I now?)

When I first set out upon the information super highway, I figured that my communication system was already pretty complex.

I have an answering machine -and- call waiting.

I consulted my -Computer Moron’s Guide to the Internet- and decided thatthe best place to stare was with newsgroups.

Again, it’s like firsttime sex. Newsgroups are pretq easy to find, if you know where to look; they’re really quick (to read); and there’s absolutely no commitment, you

can”unsubscribe”wheneveryouwant Itsounded perferr Newsgroups, I quickly discovered, are the easiest and least credible way I’ve ever seen to make your opinions available to g’zillions of peaple. These are some of the groups I found (and how I interpreted them).

There’s altnude (for nudists), altlycra (if you’re into spandex),rec,fitness (for gym gods/goddesses), altabortion (I didn’t want to read it to find out), and soc.motss (for people who like Clamato?)

I like Clamato. But imagine my surprise (and delight) when I discoveredthat “ma&’ stands for “members of the same sex.”

I’m tempted to discuss the implications of a queer newsgroup that sounds like a Tomato cocktail company, but I’m sure that would digress too far. The postings I’ve read so far indicate that “mot& can become an adjective too. Somy queer friends become my

a farmer’s daughter approached him. Her actions caused others to follow.

They stood around him and asked “Man, what has gotten into you, have you lost your mind?” The idiot tesponded “Haven’t you heard?

The King is coming to town today!”

A man who worked for the government spoke out from the crowd. “The King is already here, he’s in his office talking to the general of the Army.

He’s where he should be.”

“No, you fool” the idiot replied, “that is not the King I’m talking about The Kingthat is coming today doesn’t hold an office, he works amongst the people.”

The crowd laughed. A woman straight out of Cosmo who owned the penthouse suite in the city’s business district mocked him saying, “I’d sure like to meet this King. His power would probably overwhelm me.”

The idiot stood baffled for a second.

He always believed that “women” were the sensitive

ones of humanity. “This King does have power, but not the power of Caesar, or Clinton.

The King I proclaim has the power to change the world, for his kingdom rests on different principles than the Kings you now hold in such high esteem.”

“Tell me of this King’s military” a soldier clad in uniform bellowed out, “Will he keep us safe from our enemies?”

‘Well,” said the idiot, “I have heard that among his followers are women and children carrying bread and water. I know my brother is a folJower and he is a fisherman. And I have been told by others that he has a raggedy battalion that carries tambourines, drinks wine and dances will the morning. As for his enemies, story has it that the King meets his enemy eye to eye with much courage but without much protection.”

‘Will he clean up our streets?” cried a woman from the surrounding hillside. My children walk home and there are prostitutes, and gamblers and homeless people all over. What kind of legislation will your King bring to throw these bums out of my neighbourhood?”

“Legislation. 7” the idiot thought “This King lives on those streets.

He hangs out with the whores, the pushers. He is their healer. This may seem like blasphemy to your conservative ears madame, but rumour has it that presently the King rents an apartment with a stripper. The hardest thing of all is that this King expects the same of us.*’ With this the crowd was outraged, they cursed the idiot for being a dumb-ass joker. The

crowd left him, except for the firmer’s daughter who asked finally, ‘Where can I meet a King such as the one you have spoken of?”

Planning transportation for liveable communities

Parkinson to Imprint

“Sprawl is bad esthetics; it is bad economics,. Five acres are being made to do the work of one, and do it very poorly. This is bad for the farmers, it is bad for communities, it is bad for industry,

it is bad for utilities, it is bad for railroads, it is bad for the recreation groups, it is even bad for developers.”

William H. Whyte, editor, Fortune M agarine, I 958

This past Saturday, people from across the Regional Municipality of Waterloo came together to discuss alternatives to what has characterized land developoment in the Region for the past 40 years: urban sprawl. This model, which Mr. Whyte(and others) tried to discourage decades ago, is still the prevailing practice, despite the well documented economic, environmental and social impacts of this approach.

The conference, called “Planning Transportation For Liveable Communities”, drew about 50 participants from a wide range of backgrounds, including beaurocrats, developers, citizens, social services, politicians, community groups etc. With a common interest in improving the quality of community life via land use/transportation planning, participants identified problems and

It is not unreasonable to propose that we should design our built environment such that ownership of a car would be a lifestyle decision and not a cultural necessity. If you have been to the Toronto Islands you will have seen the lush vibrancy of a car-free residenciat area. Wouldn’t it be nice if our cities offered us the opportunity to live in a third story flat without a refrigerator?

How enjoyable it would be to shop on a day to day basis, picking up fresh food at the market onour street.

In Amsterdam, more people cycle to work than drive. This is also common across the Scandinavian countries.

Because of this fact, commuter cycles are respected and the incidence of theft is minimal. Perhaps this is because, unlike in North America, cornmuter bikes are not pricey status symbols.

What is not to be overlooked is the fact that biking, walking and public transit all allow for a level of communication and interxtion that is not of-

fered by the car. This is crucial for designing cities for people. In fact, many Scandinavian parks are reserved solely for pedestrians because cyclists have ample routes

Finally, neighbourhoods must be shaped by and for human activities. We

need to incorporate all aspects of living into our living environment These decisions must involve an explicit as well as an implicit understanding of the connectedness of all things that compose our environment.

There is plently that we can do to improve our cities. However, each of us must endeavour to act as a responsible individual before we can preach to others. Ironically, I drove to school tonight to write this feature. I live a mere twenty minute walk from school.

What many people do not know is that paper reduction is one of the most polluting industries, ven in Canada.

The waste and deforestation concerns genrally associated with paper production neglect nother very serious issue - chlorine bleaching.

Chlorine bleaching attains the bright, white ppearance of the majority of paper in use today. : also emits toxic effluent into our water supplies.

The chlorine bleaching process is toxic beause the chlorine reacts with the wood comounds to form highly toxic organochlorines and ioxins. When these substances are discharged Ito surface waters, numerous environmental prob:ms arise.

The effluent does not degrade, due to a high molecular weight in natural systems that depend n aerobic bacteria.

The adverse effects of this on fish and inver:brate communities have been documented exznsively in Sweden, and are common throughout le developed world.

Aquatic life is not the only thing affected. lumans have also suffered from paper producon.

Pulp plant workers in British Columbia have een documented to have respiratory problems ke wheezing, chest tightness and airway obstrucon. In various studies, these ailments were diectly attributed to the toxic chemicals - dioxins, rrans and bleach, for example - used in the recess.

tion that paper production effluent, including the products of chlorine bleaching, is a major transboundary environmental problem.

Technology allowing for alternatives to the deadly chlorine bleaching process is now available. They include using substitutes for chlorine, like oxygen or ozone. Final bleaching can be less harmful if hypochlorate, chlorine dioxide and peroxide are combined in different sequences.

The by-products of oxygen bleaching can be burned, thus minimizing the emission of chlorinated products into the water.

These alternatives to chlorine bleaching are now being utilized by some paper companies, due mainly to consumer pressure.

Individuals have the ability to create change.

The demand for unbleached, recycled paper has resulted in manufacturers having to supply it.

As a society, we should ask ourselves how important it really is to have bright, white, chlorine-bleached products. Disposable diapers and feminine hygiene products,for example, are hardly white when we send them to the landfill.

Is it really necessary to buy these wasteful products when reusable alternatives are available? And is it really necessary to expose ourselves to potentially harmful dioxins created by chlorine bleaching?

Sean Van Koughnett may return to $e Warrior basketball team next year br his fifth and year of eligibility, but t won’t be to collect any more awards.

Van Koughnett joined Athena soc:er player Anita Toogood as UW’s top nale and female athletes for 1993-94 at ast Friday’s Athletic Banquet at FederaLion Hall.

Both athletes were named most valuable players for their respective teams this year and are the top all-time UW scorers for their respective sports.

Bill Tschirhart won the Imprint UW coach of the year award after directing the Athena curling team to a bronze medal at the OWIAA finals.

“This is a very pleasant surprise,” Tschirhart said upon receiving the award, acknowledging the small amount of ink that low-profile sports like curling receive.

The rookie of the year honours, presented by the Federation of Students, went to Warrior volleyball’s Al Schroeder and Athena basketball’s Jena Steele.

last

Warrior basketball manager Rick Drabowski won the J. 0+ Hemphill Trophy for a male student making an outstanding contribution to interuniversity administration, training, or coachlmanagement.

The women’s equivalent, the Director’s Award, went to Anne-Marie Marais for her work managing the Athena volleyball team.

The Totzke trophy caps off a storied

collegiate career for Van Koughnett, who is Warrior basketball’s all-time leading scorer in league games with 1,095 points.

He holds the Warrior record for most points scored in a regular season game, 49, against the Western Mustangs in his rookie season.

That year, he was named the CIAU’s top rookie and became the first rookie to lead the division in scoring.

He has been an OUAA West allstar in all four of his years at UW. The Totzke Trophy is named after Carl Totzke, the first director of athletics. at UW, who retired

in 1989.

It recognizes the mate athlete who combines athletic excellence, sportsmanship, citizenship, and academic success.

The Dean of Women’s Award, won this year by Anita Toogood, is in honour of Hildegard Marsden who was the Dean of Women at UW. The award recognizes the female athlete who has excelled in athletics at Waterloo, and also represents excellence in academics and student citizenship.

Fi-

The Campus Recreation Advisory Council has had a productive term.

The executive consisted of DeAnn Durrer and Paul0 Ferreira; co-chairs Anthony Seymour and Carol Moroziuk; co-treasurers Stephen Polloni, Jess Bvter, and Sue Bloye.

We accomplished all our goals this term which were to create awareness amongst the studenti about the new facility, to resubmit the second half of the endowment proposal with MIC and WIG for weight room renovations, to investigate CR involvement in the ‘94 Homecoming, and to investigate reinstating formal CR leadership awards.

We would like to offer sincere thanks to Sally Kemp and Jane Varley for all their guidance and support over the term. Ajso to Jennifer McCormick and Catherine Coleman for their insight into the issues of Homecoming and the ancillary fee respectively.

Thanks for the input of the faithful members who came out to the meetings. It was greatly appreciated. Good luck on finals, and have agreat summer!

Black Plague legend Steve Smith returns to his old spiking grounds next Monday, April 4 with Canada’s national

volleyball team* The national team is at the PAC main gym to play Russia’s Samotlof Club as part of a southwestern Ontario tour that also includes matches in Toronto, Hamilton, Oshawa, and King-

ston from April 3-8.

Smith was the University of Waterloo’s male athlete of the year in 1990-9 I after leading the Warriors to two consecutive CIAU bronze medals, in 1990and 1991.

The match starts at 7 p.m, Tickets cost $8 and are available at the athletics department in the PAC.

gramme taps the collective resources of coaches from various sources and experiences. We all strive to accomplish the same task, notably

to chal-

lenge the elite athlete to improve his/ her skills in the pursuit of excellence. in the context of team goals, the athlete learns to perform in concert with other athletes both as teammates and competitors.

Into this mix of goals and skills is placed the coach whose task it is to provide the environment in which the athlete strives to meet his/her personal goals and to assist the team to aspire to its highest possible level. A formidable task indeed!

There is no blueprint for success.

The chemistry on each team is different. Just when a coach feels he/she has found the “secret formula”, a new and unexpected curve in the road appears to challenge his/her own coaching skills.

It was an unexpected honour to

be the recipient of this year’s award!

The varsity curling teams are among the smallest at UW and virtually all our preparation and competition takes place off-campus. We train and compete outside of the limelight. And, it’s cold!

No one receives an award like this in isolation. I owe much thanks to the scholastic athletes I have had the privilege of working with over the past seven years. They have all taught me something about coaching! I can’t say enough about the support I have re-

Pavement’s Crooked Reign Pavement The Palladium Friday, March 25th

by Smdy Atwal Imprint staff Pavement have had a lot of shit written about them, shit being the operative word.

From the Toronto Star’s Peter Howell, calling them “Doctors of Slackology” to countless interviews where the articles fail to reveal any thing new about the band, Pavement remain as unknown, in terms of their unique artistic processes, as when their debut single SIuy Tracks I9331969 came out.

No doubt tired of all this promotional bullshit, their show at Toronto reflected (as does their new album) their boredom with the whole music industry. Clocking in at just over 60 minutes, Pavement produced a brief demonstration of their brilliant and energetic live show.

Faulting the band, however, is perhaps a little too easily done.

Whether because of some sense of artistic integrity, or maybe just because they didn’t really think of it, Stephen Malkmus etal. primarily stayed away from their more popualr songs

Not playing either their single”Cut Your Hair,” nor the popular “Range Life,” nor some of their better tracks from Slanted and Enchanted such as “Conduit for Sale,” Pavement may be making some sort of “no sell out” statement, but they are also demonstrating a lackof concern for their fans. in addition to the absence of their more popular songs, they managed to squeeze in at least five new songs that

do not currently appear in their discography.

That having been said, Pavement did put on quite an incredible show.

Highlights such as the double-shot of “Box Elder MO”and “Summer Babe” came across with the same energy and power as they did the first time I heard them. Likewise, their selections from “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” such as “El1 Ess Two,” “Stop Breathin” or the

jazz instrumental “5-4=unity” were equally forceful.

The band provided not only an entertaining aural but also a great visual performance.

Both Malkmus and guitarist Spiral Stairs played their guitars with the same fervour sixteen-yearolds play air guitar, while second drummer Bob Nastanovich played drums, sang, banged on cowbells and wore those strange glasses that have eyes built into the lenses.

Pavement’s worst fault, then, was that they left the audience wanting more. In this case, however, it was justified--a brief encore brought the show to a mere hour, and for their first time in Torohto (especially in light of their numerous tours in Britain) it simply wasn’t enough.

But Pavement at least reminded me why I even go to live shows anymore.

I have been ripped off too many times-paying too much money and waiting for fucking hours just to listen to substandard live performances is an experience I’m a little too familiar with, but when you wait for years for a band like Pavement to come around, it renews your faith in that great fat bloated beast called Rawk’n’Roll that we all know and love, no matter how many expectations it frustrates.

Perhaps we do still need it.

Erasure Their new album is due for release (surprise, surprise, Ii ke most of the others for some reason) in September.

Jama These guys are still on their Laid tour and just appeared on the Tonight Show last week. They have a new album recorded and ready for release (they recorded it at the same time as Loid.) We could see it as early as this summer.

Breakir lg the Barriers

by Jason Booth and Nansi Wards special to Imprint Blockade is simply an amazing film.

The reason being that filmaker Nettie Wild refuses to simplify and/or objectify the reality of some of Canada’s most pressing social issues. In Wild’s own words, “the cauldron of aboriginal land claims, environmental issues and resource extraction was [is] the real constitutionat crisis in this country.”

These problems are revealed through the concerns of the logging industry, the native land claims of the Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en, and the economic survival of all the people in the northwestern B.C. community of Hazelton. However, the issues which Wild raises could equally apply across Canada, as witnessed in areas such as Oka Quebec, Alberta’s Oldman dam, and Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island.

Wild spent close to I6 months in the community Hazelton, B.C. Most of this time she exptains was used gaining the support and trust of the people who live and work in the area. The people involved in the conflict were tired of the 3 day camera crews who came with no knowledge and left”thinking they knew what was going on.” This

grammar f ree since :~ I993 ” _’

trust which Wild developed is readily apparent in the film. The camera is

never the centre of attention in the documentary and the emotional impact of the issues on the people is never lost The Gitskan tribe have a strong historical right to the land. However, their land claim is being continually bounced around the court system of B.C. which rejects as evidence the oral history of the Gitskan people. Control of the land and any of its economic benefits is denied the Citskan. These accumulating frustrations led the Gitskan to blockade the logging operations in the area and eventually the CN

IIIDllSTRiRL REUllIJlTIOIl

railway. A farge part of the film centres on the reasons for the blockades and the effect it has on the people. Ironitally, the blockade of the railway was interpreted by the media to be a gesture of solidarity with the Mohawk people blockading in Oka at the same time.

The blockades in Hazelton strike at the very heart of the economy of the area, creating tension within the white community. Futier tensions are created by land claims which have precipitated the eviction of a white couple from Ontario who thought they had bought the legal right to a piece of property, which in fact lies within the land claim area of the Gitskan.

The concerns of the white community are sincerely expressed by one women as “Yes, the white settlers screwed the natives, but what happens now? We all live here. We all have to survive.”

Of concern to both communities is the clear-cut logging of the land rendering it useless to all, yet everyone seems to be tfapped by the necessity of making a living. The success of I%ckade lies in its complex treatment .of issues which face all Canadians.

Blockade is being presented by the Clayoquot wofkgroup of WPIRG. The film is being shown at the Princess Cincmu on March 31.

WhenGenerationXfirst hit the stands, Douglas Coupland was immediately hailed as the Gen-x writer of the day-Generation X then hastily begot Shumpoo Plchet and the talk centred around the sophomore jinx the unfortunate follow-up to a great work.

Fortunately for Coupland, now, he has released his third book, Life After God, and proved himself to be the significant writer everyone had first thought him to be, even though he hasn’t garnered the critical acclaim he deserves.

Gene&on X was a tale of three malcontent x’ers drifting through lives dominated by Mcjobs, vicarious story telling, and suburban angst, culminating in their optimistic exodus to Mexico and meaningful lives.

They left their everyday lives in order to find reality. With Life Afier God, Coupland picks up the narratives of similar roaming x’ers, and offers us eight short stories centred around his characters’ misfortunes at finding that all-elusive meaning.

From dirty futon furnished Vancouver flats, to dusty Southern Californian highways, to cold soaked interior B.C. rainforest and

after X better.

And it seems this is Coupland’s plan: depress the hell out of us until we can no longer read, and then offer us a glimmer of hope, but not before putting us to the questions which haunt him: “How is it that our lives can become drained of the possibility of forgiveness and kindness so drained that even one small act of mercy becomes a potent lifelong memory? How do our lives reach these points?”

Coupland doesn’t really answer his own question, but he does, in effect, offer us a remedy, which is hidden in the title of both this book and the final story ” I 000 years (Life After God).”

Coupland characterises the age in which we live as life after god, which leaves the X’ers raised without religion and forced to find their own faith in themselves.

In ” IO00 Years (Life After God),” the narrator, Scout, recounts the path he took to finding himself tented and freezing in the middle of a B.C. rainforest. Growing up believing in nothing, living life from suburban home to suburban home, Scout has realised the great sense of irony his generation has acquired, one which “scorched everything it touched,” has been acquired at the cost of god.

Not that Life After God is a terribly religious book; it isn’t. Rather, Coupland would have his characters get over their existential angst (read: midlife crises) by taking that leap of faith and believing in something, if only themselves, nature, or god even.

Whereas Gene&on X was full of quirky sidebars and sound bite slogans, blurring the notions of centrality and marginalisation (as the postmodernists in the English Department would have us believe), Life Afier God presents a more sincere front The stories are stripped down accounts which state clearly their premises rather than obscuring their meaning with meandering tangents.

Rumour has it that Coupland wrote these stories as gifts to friends and their simplicity would seem to support that fact; he leaves behind the packaging of Generation X in favour of direct, simple testimonies.

The closest Coupland comes to glamour are the simple drawings which act as headers for the different segments of his stories. He even instructs us to remove the neon and black cover jacket before reading, leaving us with a plain, black book While the simplicity of Life Afler God can be slightly aggravating at times, not allowing the reader many interpretive options and leaning towards preaching, Coupland’s message is best served in this form.

It is often the simple things in life that are the most rewarding, Ii ke those small acts of mercy that turn into potent lifelong memories, or finding yourself in the middle of a rainforest, floating in an icy stream, a part of it all.

Back in january, when I did a review of Crowded House’ new album Together Alone, I made the suggestion to go see them live when they came around. So, too, am I telling you to do so here. Why the big deal you ask? Well, it’s simple; Crowded House are the most fantastic band I have seen live.

Yes, they are one of my favorite bands, but consider this: 1 have seen aproximately forty different bands live in my lifetime, and I would say only a few bands have even come close to the entertainment value offered in one of their shows.

Do you know all of those shows you’ve seen where the band walks nonchalantly onto the stage, says nothing, and procedes to playoll oftheir songs exactly us they sound on the record? I’ve had this happen on a number of ocassions, and it makes you think that you could stay home, turn up your stereo, and jump around to their albums like a mad fool, all the while saving yourself the 20 clams for the ticket.

This does not happen with Crowded House.

They put new twists on old favorites, adding in extra verses of different lyrics, or new instrumental codas.

Look for this especially on “Hole in the River”, where I’ve seen them turn the thiq second fade out to a five minute long opus of weirdness and psychochotic overtones. It’s breathtaking.

You’ll see Paul the drummer abandon his drumkit and take to a simple snare and cymbal setup for a couple of numbers.

You’ll see crazy stage antics that can go into any number of directions. Paul has been known to get naked on stage, they’ll switch instruments and jam away, they’ll invite audience members to dance on stage, and so on.

You’ll see an incredible ability to swing from rolicking fun to dark introspection.

And back again.

Have I convinced you yet?

The first show is sold out, but a second show has been announced, and tickets went on sale this morning.

Even if you’re only a fan of passing interest, take the opportunity, and see the “best live band”, as voted by Q Magazine...and myself of

A crowd of approximately thirty came out to enjoy an evening of poetry, prose, story telling and song.

Kevin Cogliano, strumming away on acoustic guitar provided much of the night’s entertainment, with a mix of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, his tunes fit the evening’s coffee house atmosphere.

Joined by Imprint’s own Peter Brown, Cogliano also played several Billy Bragg tunes proving that capitalism has not killed the Bard from Barking’s music quite yet Several poems were read including a selection from Jimmy Stewart’s oeuvre.

Craig Nickerson’s “The top stair in the I’m 0 bird.

It suddenly occurred to me the other day, as 1played this little mini-LP, that this hasn’t been reviewed by anyone. So, going on the belief that it’s always better than never, 1 thought I’d whip up a review for this release.

I also feel I should do this because of the lambasting that my esteemed collegue Pat has in the past given to Tom Hooper’s new band. By way of explanation: the members of the Grapes of Wrath finally woke up to the fact that Kevin Kane is an idiot (they politely site “personality differences”), and kicked him out of the band. Being the nice guy that he is, Kevin wouldn’t let them keep the band name: so Tom and co. renamed themselves Ginger, and released this mini-LP (or long EP; I don’t know -- what’s five songs plus a

bonus track officially called anyhow?).

If this is any indication, it could be that the shakeup was just whatthey needed to produce some of their best work First of all, they used John Leckie as a producer again (as the Grapes did on their last album These Days), and of course his production of the Stone Roses album was immaculate.

More than that however, Tom seems to be writing some of the best music of his career, at least to my seasoned ears.

“Try to Believe Me”, the current single, has weepy sort of melodies that sound like they were recorded on a rainy Sunday morning over a cup of hot chocolate. “Dirge” is a plodding psychedelic ride over swirling guitars and even more swirling lyrics, which curiously makes a reappearance as a bonus track at the end, with slightly different rearri3ngements. “From Now 0n”ends the disc, solidifying the sense of harmony and melody throughout.

My one complaint would be that Ginger never really rock out here, thus not producing the killer pop single they seem capable of making.

I liked the Grapes of Wrath to an extent’ but Tom, Vince, and Chris seem here to have taken the best bits of that band and distilled them into a very pleasing form indeed. I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do on an album (one of more than five songs and a bonus track that is).

World Party, Crowded House, Dinosaurjr. and... The Knack? Surprisingly, the strange combination of bands on this movie soundtrack work quite well together. This compilation boasts quite a wide assortment of artists. It is mainly filled with “alternative bands” but a few main stream artists sneak on like Lenny Kravitz, and the Knack who serve up “My Sharona”.

There are a few previously released songs like U2’s “All I Want Is You” but the majority are new works.

The highlights include “Spinning Around With You” by Lenny Kravitz

and the new Crowded House single “Locked Out”.

Other winners are World Party’s “When You Come Back To Me” and The Posies “Going, Going, Gone”.

The Dinosaur Jr. song “Turnip Song” sounds like a throw away tune from Where You Been?, but overall isn’t that bad. There are two surprising songs on this compilation.

Ethan Hawke’s “I’m N&in”’ and The Indians’ “Bed of Roses” are both exceptional. Me Phi Me comes off sounding like Speech from Arrested Development yet “Revival!” turns out to be one of the strongest tracks found here.

Generally soundtracks sound patchy.

Overall it’s not a bad collection of songs.

Lifting their name from I989 when lead singer and former UW student Danella Hocevar read Jorge tuis gorges’ ficciones in Eric McCormack’s ENGL i05B class, Toronto band An April March have just released their first CD * Impatiens.

Twins

Although the vocals are at times given a mix that’s either too strong or too weak, they’re still very commanding and versatile, and the music is dense and compelling to listen to.

Particularly strong on this CD are the tracks “Over My Head”, ‘This Silence”, ‘jade”,and “This Ivory”, which have the unique An April March combination of Middle Eastern minor key guitar whirling, spooky manipulations, and the development of a catchy pop thread.

AAM play live in Toronto at least once a month, and have been known to venture to K-W, Guelph, or Maryhill.

Listen to their album if you can, and be prepared for more from this group that wants success, and is probably gonna get it!

Therapy? are not exception.

It’s not that there aren’t any good, even great songs on here, but really, they pale in comparison to the best tracks from their previous release Nurse. As hard driving and exciting tracks like “Knives” and “Hellbelly” are, they don’t come anywhere near the slashing power chords of ‘Teethgrinder.” ” Screamager” is still a great song, but it’s already been release twice before this. “Nowhere” repeats the same formula as “Screamager” but with limited success.

The only unexpected surprise is a competent cover of Joy Division’s “Isolation” but it serves mainly to illustrate just how bad some of Therapy?‘s jyrics are.

There is lots of fun here, and yeah, yeah I know it’s really loud and aggressive, but it’s not terribly new, and more importantly, they’re capable of sooooo much better stuff.

Pat MerZihan Imprint stun A little R and B, a little pop, a little much moosh for my liking. Eric Gable’s second release Process ofHirt+ nation is a great album to bring with you on a cruise on the Love Boat; but as far as walking down a street with it blaring from your boom-box, prepare to be the next victim of a drive-by shooting.

Gable’s singing capabilities can be matched to Bobby Brown, Michael Bat ton or even New Edition; but he doesn’t have the catchy songs to reel you in.

The songwriting on the album is comparable to Richard Marx (that’s a bad thing); the songs are repetitive, similar in style, have the same bass line and are just boring.

“Call Me” repeats “Call me on the phone baby” throughout most of the song which gets stale after the first ten repetitions. The cheap rap interludes do add some spice to this relatively tasteless repenoire but it’s not enough to pull off songs that make you want to sleep. Process of Elimination is a rundown Kool and the Gang at best; so start the process of elimination with Eric Gable. too

I had to see what all the fuss was about, so I picked up this Bjork single.

1 now realize that she’s no big deal. ‘*Violently Happy’+ is OK, but nothing spectacular. The three B-sides, “Anchor Song,” “Come to me” and “Human behaviour,” are all acoustic, but I use this term loosely, because it sounds like there’s a medieval harpsichord in the background, not a guitar.

like the fast stuff you can still groove with this CD. The big names of European techno are here--Apotheosis, 2 Unlimited, R.T.2. Belgium, etc. Most of the songs are remixed, and they’re all good mixes.

Overall, its a great collection.

I think Chris Sheppard compiled the original Radikal Techno, but he didn’t do this one.

Speaking of Chris Sheppard, he has started yet another series of compilations under his name. This time it’s his Pirote Rlodio Sessions, which “gives those outside the range of Chris’transmitters a taste of the vibe.” That about sums it up.

If you’ve heard Chris Sheppard on the radio then you’ll recognize everything here as his favourite tunes to spin.

This is volume one of the series, The Underground, so all the songs are that.

Most of the songs are house music of one type or another.

The music and mix is good. My only problem with the CD is that Sheppard does voice-overs on a couple of the songs, as though he was deejaying them on the radio. Its one thing to give us a taste of the “vibe”, but do we need a taste of the Shep while we’re at it? His ego must be bigger than I thought. I guess if you don’t live around Toronto and you need to get your dose of Shep’s patented phrases, you can take this CD with you. “CroIy!” The best of these compilations is The Early Years. Its a collection of the best songs released by the independent dance label, Strictly Rhythm. The label started around I990 in New York, and is still going strong. They release house music for the elite clubs scene.

Most of the songs here are deep house. Some of the better songs are the ones by E-Culture, Sound Waves, and Underground Solution. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard these names before.

If you’ve been to any good clubs, you’ve surely heard the songs.

And they’re all great. The sound quality of the CD is surprisingly good, making it a definite must have.

feels

he has been stabbed in the back by ?he music press and tabloids.

This theme is potrayed in at least three tracks, “Speedway”, “I am Hated For Loving”, and “Why don’t you find out for yourself’.

By far the best songs on this album are “Spring-Heeled Jim”, and “Speedway”, but all in all this entire album is sure not to dissapoint even Morrissey’s less avid fans.

Brilliant.

Starting with a movie-soundtracklike dark and mysterious feet, the album initially came across fine, the kind of thing you could put on in the background while reading Conrad’s Heart ofDor&ness. By the second trackguitars had been introduced, and I was hoping that the whole album would be one big seamless instrumental piece.

Then the singing started, If the guy hadn’t sung, I’d probably give it a 3.5 or something. Probably. It really was doing fine. But he sung.

All instruments, voices, and production are credited to Tirthindae, who should have stuck to just instruments and production.

He sounds like Morrissey doing a really shitty impression of Leonard Cohen, and things all go to hell. Fast.

This self distruction is repeated.

“Penny for a Broken Well,” for example, starts with a nice Celtic aura, then brings in the moody bass line, finally killing everything with Titthindae’s deep bass voice trying to lilt along with the flutes. And it happens again and again and again. Every. Singte. Track.

Should I mention the lyrics? Death, doom, gloom, bugs eating things, lots of other stuff that you can’t quite make outwithout listening really hard (which, I’ll confess, I wasn’t really prepared to do). Happy, uplifting music.

I just wish the whole album matched the promise of the title track: dark, depressing, well done, and no singing.

Thefourtracks on Wrungdon’t reallyamountto much, Even if the vocals were coherent the music to go with them isn’t that great.

Mule tries to be a heavy blues band a la

release of the single. The other two songs do not appear on Siamese Dream, therefore if you are a “punkinhead”, you’ll probably want to add this one to your collection.

The second song on this single, “Landslide”, was written by Stevie Nicks and the late Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy fame penned the final song, “Dancing In The Moonlight”.

Both of these songs follow the same slow mood as “Disarm”.

I’m not sure if this was an intentional marketing st~~tqy by the band or record company but I find the songs on this single do not generate the same vibes as the material found on Sicrmese Dream. My choice on this CD is “Dancing In The Moonlight”, as I’m familiar with the original version and find this version a refreshing change.

Disurm would make a great addition to any music enthusiast’s collection.

Led Zeppelin but fail in the attempt.

“Ass” starts with a guitar intro that rips off Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” but from there the song disintegrates quickly.

These Detroit boys just don’t seem to have a clue what they are doing. The stop and go guitar of “We Know You’re Drunk” is bearable if you ignore the singing. tt could pass as a poor Nirvana track if they had different frontman.

“Searchlight” is probably the best track but that is not saying much. The Jimmy Page style guitar proves interesting. This track is average at best.

It starts off slow and revs it up somewhat but you are left expecting more. “The Rope and The Cuckold*’ closes out the EP and is a definite throw away tune. It has Mule posing as lousy heavy metal band. Don’t bother with these guys.
