he UW senate met on May 16 to consider the 94195 operating budget, OHIP coverage for foreign students, a bid for aNational Research Council project and other issues. The university operating budget for 94/95 includes a 10% increase in tuition as well as a student service ancillary fee to be phased in over three years. Reductions in government funding will be offset by the increase in tuition, and the budget dots not include any staff layoffs or program closures. The finance committee felt that co-op students have been undercharged in the past, and rates arc expected to increase by 10% to reflect the real cost of the program. Charges that students are unfairly bearing the burden of reduced funding were countered by the fact that faculty is taking six unpaid days and staff one unpaid day. Also, pension plan contributions w ill be temporarily reduced. Student Senators suggested, however, that more student consultation should go into drafting the budget. An increase in university

parking rates is one possible mechanism to meet any funding shortfalls. No decision has been made regarding the continuation of the Dance program. The Dance de-

ing a concerted legal challenge. Meetings between universities and the government have yielded no results, so the group is considering creating an independent coverage plan for students.

Thejkance committee felt that co-op students have been undercharged in the past, and rates are expected to increase by 10% to reflect the real cost of the progralpz partment is preparing a proposal for the President and Senate. The provincial government has eliminated OHIP coverage for foreign and visa students effective June 30. The decision also affects visitors to UW and their families. The human resources departments of seven Ontario universities including Waterloo have lobbied the government to exempt undergrad and grad students to no avail, and are now consider-

Dr. James Downey, the senate chair, made it clear however that funding for this plan could not come from the tight university budget and the students would have to pay for it themselves. An additional financial burden to the university comes from the elimination of the Additional Qualification (AQ) program for teachers. In the past the government has spent $60 million a year for upgrading courses for teachers, but now it expects

the universities to bear the cost. The cost is applied evenly to all Ontario universities eventhough UW has a smaller AQ program than many other schools. The Senate chair has concerns about the new fUnding formula being applied to Canadian universities. Funding emphasis is being placed on undergrad programs including stressing accessibility to programs at the expense ofpost grad studies and research. The fear is that resources will be redistributed to encourage increased enrolment, perhaps at the loss of other programs. TheNational Research Council (NRC) is considering moving research centres closer to the industries affected. The Canadian technology triangle of KW, Guelph andcambridge is one area. A proposal to create a research park on the North campus of UW is being considered by the NRC. Due to great success and little financial cost, the Centre for Molecular Beams and Laser Chemistry has been given Senate go ahead to continue for five years. The centre supports cutting edge research in gas phase chemical dynamics and spectroscopy, and has produced 130 publications in journals as well as running an international symposium at Waterloo.

GSA forms policy theft of Intellectual Imprint

llews

he Graduate Student As sociation (GSA) at the University of Waterloo is increasingly concerned about the theft of student generated research results and intellectual propert. In order to express this concern, the GSA has formed a comprehensive policy on ownership of student generated intellectual property. In Canadian universities, the primary component of most graduate degrees (Master’s and Ph.D. degrees) is performing novel research. As a result, much of the research that comes out of Canadian universities is performed by graduate students. Unfortunately, students are often uncredited for the work they perform. It is 0Ren the supervising professors or administrators that take credit for the important ad-

vances arising from such research s This has been the case for so long that most graduate students have come to accept this as part

finally being acknowledged and are drawing public attention. There have been numerous such cases across North America in the past few years. The most famous Canadian example being the allegation made in teh Engineering Faculty of Concordia University in 1992.

The University of Waterloo, as well, has had its share of such problems in recent years. There have been a few recent high-profile cases on this campus which, while successfilly hidden from public scrutiny, have generated a great deal of debate on the subject within the campus community. The questions at the centre of this debate are straight-forward: Who own the intellectual property that students generate? How can students’ interests in their own work be protected? In order to express concern over the issues at stake and the manner in which they are debated, the University of Waterloo GSA has formed one of the first student-body policies on the ownership of student-generated intellectual property. Questions about this policy, and inquiries about copies, can be directed to Kevin Erler, ext. 3634, or kevin@crg4.uwaterIoo.ca.

he University of Wa terloo and eight lead ing software compa nies, including one UW spinoff, have received $1.2 million in federal money for research and development to boost Canada’s computer software industry. UW and the eight companies, including UW spinoff Open Text Corp., form the new Canadian Strategic Software Consortium (CSSC) which, besidesresearchand development, will build on Canadian world leadership in certain technol ogies useful for the vaunted information highway. The $12-million funding was announced today by Industry Minister John Manley in a keynote address to the “Racing Towards Millennium” confer-

ence held in Ottawa. The event was sponsored by the Canadian Advanced Technology Association and the Information Technology Association of Canada. “This is another good example of how the University of Waterloo is involved in linking with private industry, government and the local community through its research endeavors,” said Barry Scott, a member of the CSSC management committee and associatedirector of research at UW. Manley said the consortium draws together some of Canada’s most innovative software companies and UW to collaborate on the development of leading technologies for document and text-intensive applications - “key elements of the emerging information highway.” “Strategic initiatives like this enable the partners to share exper-

tise, technological resources and the risk involved in the development of new technology,” Manley said. The consortium will pursue pre-competitive researchrelating to the integration of text-intensive databases in areas such as full-text retrieval, relational databases, multi-media CD-ROM, as well as the management of documents and images. The work aims to speed up the development of standards-based enabling technologies and reduce the time period to market the resulting products. The consortium industry members - Open Text Corp., Fulcrum Technologies Inc., Exoterica Corp., InContext Corp., Public Sector Systems Ltd., Grafnetix Systems Inc., Megalith Technologies Inc. and Softquad Inc. - report that exports generate up to 9 1 per cent of revenues.

tometry. Participants attended threehour ’ sessions in each area, where they performed various experiments which were geared to promote their interest and confidence in science. The three days started off with a university tour, where the participants were shown various science attractions such as the greenhouse, aquarium lab, herbarium, nuclear magnetic resonance lab, and aphysits lab. The biology session included a food microbiology unit where microbial populations in hamburger were counted. The participants also studied heart and blood physiology, by studying blood testing, immunology, and cell types in insect blood,as well as testing each other’s blood

pressure and pulse rates. Zeolite models were made in the chemistry session and participants planted chemical gardens to study the structure and properties of silicate materials. During the Physics session, participants learned about sound, and then measured sound levels and reverberation in several different rooms. The effects of sound on the human ear and what a ghetto blaster can do were also demonstrated in the physics session. The Earth Sciences session consisted of several parts. The first session started off with a model aquifer demonstration, and a tour of the rock garden. The participants then took part in a spectacular tectonics display where they were shown the effect of jumping up and down on the vibration of the earth. The last part of the earth science session was held in Laurel Creek, where participants waded in hip waders to measure the conductivity and PH levels of different locations in the creek. Pictures were taken of the exterior and interior ofparticipants eyes during the first optometry session. The second optometry session included a discussion about the participants photographs, dissection of a cow’s eye and discovering more about optical illusions. Experience Science 1994 was a great success. The coordination staff would like to thank all volunteers who gave their time in helping with the camp and to the organizations which donated products to the camp for snacks and prizes.

Joe Garwood executive vice president of CFTO pointed to other factors. “There was a general lack of support from the advertising community irrespective of the ratings. It was not a show that they considered a good environment for the messages that they wanted to convey when they had other vehicles to choose from.” “A similar case was AQYD Blue which pushed the envelope in terms of more graphic sex, nudity and coarse language and rea$228 ceived no ad&&g support at all.” “They want to reach people in a positive way in a positive environment.” “From a business point of view what we finally ended up with was a show that was the focus of a lot of complaints.” CFPL-TV London and CKNXTV Wingham currently air the program but have decided not to continue the show when it comes up for renewal in August “...based on audience reaction.” Although a representative at CFPL asserted they received “as many positive phone calls and letters in favour of the show as they have had against it.” But Mr. Garwood also confessed to a genuine concern about

He cited a recent public service campaign about gay bashing as an example of a “. ..change toward a tolerance of different lifestyles.” But he maintained that ” . ..what stations program, as long as they’re within the regulations and the guidelines of good taste, are nothing to do with the CRTC.” The spokesperson for the CRTC echoed this sentiment: “We don’t deal with programs. We deal with comments made on each case. CFTU made their own decision to continue or not to continue that program.” Mr. Garwood a confessed fan of the show asserted “his [Rush Limbaugh’s] programs didn’t fall on our station by magic. We put it on the station. I put it on the station.

PUBUCINTEREST

Bullets by Michael Crummey special to Imprint OPIRG-Kingston volunteers spent a week in El Salvador as international observers in the lead-up to the March 20th national election. They didn’t like what they saw. The recent election in El Salvador was meant to be the culmination of a peace process that began more than two years ago with the signing of a Peace Accord between the “right wing” ARENA govemment, the military, and the “left wing” guerrilla movement, the FMLN. Along with land reform, and an overhaul of the notoriously corrupt judicial and police forces, it was hoped that the election would usher in a new era of real democracy for this Central American country* After decades of rule by a brutal coalition of military and right wing groups and a 12 year civil war, the election represented the most realistic opportunity for positive change in the countries history If what we saw during our recent trip to El Salvadore is any indication, however, the “new era” is in danger of falling on it’s face before it gets out of the starting blocks. The Civil Poke Force For the past 70 years or so, all policing in El Salvadore, from traffic violations to investigations of

This year promises a lot that’s Jrand new as far as the Federation If Students is concerned. Beginling with the new executive and a new structure up in the Fed office, you may notice the changes. The 3ld Executive Board system of the Feds received its notice at the March Annual General Meeting of the Feds. Replacement? A streamlined version of the previous seven boards condensed into three new executive offices. The Academic Affairs office handles students’ concerns about the quality of their academic education at UW, and represents undergraduate interests at the university, community and provincial levels. That includes everything from Co-op gripes to tenure process. Questions about the Academic Affairs office can be directed to David Drewe at 885-1211 x2340. The Internal Affairs office

and

RESEARCH

looks after on-campus communication, whether it’s publicity for concerts and pub nights, liaising with clubs, societies and residences, or raising campus awareness and support for creative endeavours at UW. Questions about the Internal Affairs office can be directed to Awey Peters at 8851211 x6331. The Student Issues office takes care of human rights, public and environmental concerns, and gender and safety issues. The Student Issues office will manage campaigns and events to heighten awareness in these areas, both on campus and in the community. Questions about the Student Issues offlice can be directed to Karin Zvanitajs at 885-1211 x6305. So we’re looking at a brand new system, some new faces, and a soon-to-be completed new building for students on campus.

corruption, have been the domain of the national military. Rather than concerning itself simply with protection of national sovereignty, the generals controlled all aspects of law enforcement. The arrangement was a way of protecting their own interests of course. Better to have your friends and colleagues investigating the activities of the death squads you train and operate than an independent body. Despite thousands of documented cases of human rights abuses by military and right wing death squads, only a handful have been prosecuted, and these only after intense international pressure. The Peace Accord called for a new national civil police force, made up of former FMLN (20%), former military (20%), and “unaligned”civilians (60%), to take over all aspects of “regular” police duties. And to some extent this has been instituted. The civil police is a presence in many areas of the country and is slowly taking over duties from the military. That is, in all areas except two: Narcotics (can you say “money for the generals”); and criminal investigations. The latter is of particular concern. In a meeting with a Superintendant of the Civil Police, we were informed that, with tacit support of the US embassy, the Salvadoran military has taken one of it’s most notorious battalions (which the UN truth commission

Reform The Peace Accord promised land for returning refugees, people displaced internally by the war, and for former army and FMLN soldiers. The government promised to purchase lands for these groups, and proceed to set them up in areas around the country. So far, no money has been forthcoming, and the owners of the land are losing patience. In many areas they have begun legal proceedings to have the resettled people removed. According to one group involved in negotiations with the government, if these issues are not resolved in the next few months, the entire package could fall apart.

The Election We left El Salvador on Sunday, March 13 th, the official end of the election campaign, and a week before the election 70,000 voters had still not received their voting cards. Thousands of others had been registered in the wrong districts. The voters list was clogged with doubled names and names of people who are deceased, which could easily lead to fraud and stacking. Reports out of El Salvador following the vote said that thousands of people with valid voters cards were turned away at the polling stations because their names had “mysteriously disappeared” from the voters list. Although none of these problems were large enough on their own to move the UN to declare the election as frstudulent takentogether represented . the they disenfranchisment of thousands of Salvadorans. And regardless of how “fair” the actual voting process is, the continued violence and impunity, the extreme poverty of the majority of the population, and the staggering illiteracy rate, will inevitably skew the results. As the Rector of the National University pointed out to us, the illiteracy rate in El Salvador in 1894 was 65%. Today, as Salvadorans participate in what has been called “the election of the century” it remains 65%. This, he says is a deliberate policy of those in power to maintain their power, by maintaining the majority of the population in “ignorance and poverty”. “I can guarantee you,” he told us, “that this will not be a free and fair election.” The poorest 20% of the population in El Salvador receive less than 2% of the GNP. The richest 20%

68%. It is this kind of

unbelievable inequity that led to the twelfth civil war. It is quite possible that another war is being nurtured, even as elections go on, and a new government is sworn in.

While this may be the case, an editorial in the K-W Record entitled “NDP goestoo far with gay rights bill”points to another, at least as important, reason for the opposition to the bill. The most controversial element of the bill is that it would extend the right to adopt to homosexual couples. In the words of the K-W Record, “Ontario’s NDP government has chosen the route of high principles over lowly pragmatism.” The Record editorial doesn’t actually deliver any j udgement on the NDP’ s

legislation other than saying that the popular notion of what the family is, is sufficiently different than what the NDP are trying to suggest, thus ensuring the defeat of the bill. The idea that individuals

who are

gay cannot be loving parents is, of course, absolute bullshit. At the very heart of this issue is that there is a traditional view of the family, and it is one of, if not the most sacred cows this planet has. No matter what society one lives in, the family is the nucleus of that society. The individual is generally him or herself raised in a social structure that consists of the family. Of course, the simple fact that it has always been that way does not necessarily mean that it ought to be that way. The traditional view of the family is built strictly around tradition, and it is absurd to suggest that that is the only way it can be.

Tt is equally absurd to say that gay people can’t raise kids, or that only straight people make great parents. One’s own sexual preference has nothing to dc with how one cares about one’s children. Was Oscar Wilde a bad parent? Would Walt Whitman have made a bad father? The most irritating thing about this debate, however, is that the government has anything to do with this issue at all. When individuals give up their children for adoption, they give up any say in how that child is raised. They deliver the child to an adoption centre and that centre then makes the decision as to who is and who is not a suitable parent. Would it be relevant in an interview to ask if the prospective parent is gay? That, one assumes,would be left up to the adoption agency. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect adoptioncentres which didn’t use sexual orientation as a deciding factor? All of these questions are not for us to ask, it seems. The govemmcnt has decided to raise these issues for us, and will make the decisions for us. It is a “free vote” in that the MPP: are to vote with their conscience, which probably isn’t that far from the popular opinion of their constitutents, and a$

such, a minority which has already suf= fered a tremendous amount of persecu. tion in the past, will once again be reminded of their place as second class citizens by the tyranny of the majority.

FORUM

Imprint, Friday, May 20, 1994

by C&man Last week I wrote about punishment being a central concept in Christianity and the primary role of Christ ians being that of a sacrificial lamb rather than as a teacher and a role model. While the two roles are not mutually exclusive, those who stress Christ as a role model tend to overlook the aspect of the Christian myth which claims that Christ died to pay the price of humanities’ sins. The Bible tells us that EVERYONE is a sinner in the eyes of god (if we accept the concept of original sin then we are born with it). The wages of sin being death, we all deserve death and damnation. Now, here is where Christ comes in. The role that Christ plays in Christianity is to pay the price of our sins, otherwise we could not hope to enter Heaven, no matter how much repenting we did. Hey, it’s not like these sins can be just swept under the carpet, someone’s got to pay for them. Why? Well in the name of justice I guess. Only, it doesn’t seem all that just that a perfectly blameless fellow like Christ should have to pay the price for our sins. In fact, it is rather absurd (though nice of him to offer). lfjustice is to be served then doesn’t it seem that those actually responsible should have to pay for their own sins? Was G. Gordon Liddy serving justice when he offered to take the fall for Nixon after Watergate? Hell no!

Lettertothe God

When Worf took the blame and punishment for the betrayal of the Klingon empire by the evil Duras family was justice served? Hell no! When Socrates suffered for crimes that he did not commit was justice served in any way? Hell no, that was no more just than returning a sword to a madman. Also, we must remember that when we sin we sin against god, or at least that is what is important. If god forgives us then everything is alright, even if what we are being forgiven for is the harming of actual people (whose forgiveness is irrelevant). Say that 1 happen to be sitting down here one night and some enraged reader, perhaps mistaking me for Sandy Atwal, guns me down in cold blood. I die in my sins while this guy gets carted off to prison. When he is released a year or so later, this man has a change of heart, honestly repents his sin of murder, and accepts Christ as his saviour. On judgement day I find myself in a lake of fire while this guy gets off Scott free bccausc god forgives him. The fact that 1 don’t forgive him doesn’t matter even though his actions have had serious repercussions that directly concern me. I don’t cart that Christ died for his sins because it wasn’t Christ that gunned me down. 1 ask you,

is this justice?

This letter is in response to Craig Nickerson’s last column in “The Village Atheist.” Many people who refuse to believe the Bible do so on the grounds that a loving God would not punish our sins by an eternal fire. They say that this is too harsh for a loving God to consider. And, well, I suppose that if the Bible taught that ailknowing and all-loving were God’s only characteristics then they would be quite right -- the Bible teachings would be inconsistent. But the Bible also teaches that God is holy, righteous and just. A righteous God cannot ignore sin. It must be paid for through suffering. Is our own suffering enough? I suppose that if our sin merely hurt other human beings, our human suffering might atone for our sin. But sinning hurts God as well. The Lord cringes at the sight of sin. When innocent people are victimized unfairly, it hurts God more than it hurts the victims. When people blaspheme the name of God, reject truth, and stray from righteousness, God experiences excruciating pain. This is why human suffering is not enough. If sin didn’t hurt God -- that is, if God didn’t care -- then our own suffering might very well atone for our sins. But this is not the case. Only the suffering of a perfectly pure and holy person can, in God’s righteousness and fair judgement, atone for sin. Those of us who refuse Christ’s atonement must suffer for eternity because our own suffering is insufficient to atone for our sins. It is God’s amazing grace that allows us the opportunity to accept

head and the slow, painful death a crucifixion causes. Consider only Christ’s spiritual suffering at the cross. Imagine the worst possible evil you can think of -- perhaps murder, rape, child abuse, etc. . . Then imagine yourself having to bear that sin on your own shoulders as though you yourself had committed it. Wouldn’t that just repusle your soul entirely? Then imagine someone infinitely more pure than yourself carrying the burden of all the sins ever to occur in history and all that will ever occur. His suffering completely atoned for all our sins. Since Jesus did not experience only a finite amount of suffering at the cross, and only His infmite suffering could atone for our sins, how could we possibly conclude that our suffering need only be finite to make the same atonement? Do we think we’re better than Christ? This explains eternal suffering and I believe that anything short of such would be incompatible with a righteous, fair God.

The Qur’an is a book that claims to be from God. And in its claim it is not alone. Needless to say, the thoughttil reader must examine the evidences the book provides for its staggering claim. It is curious that the Qur’an itself addresses this question in the verse, “Have they not pondered on the Qur’an? Had it been from other than God they would surely have found in it many inconsistencies.” [4:82] Inconsistencies of an internal nature, i.e. is the book self-consistent (does it contradict itself), and is it consistent with the knowledge of our world as we have come to know it from common experience, and scientific enquiry. This is the mark the Qur’an sets itself. This approach contrasts with that ofbelieving in something blindly. In such a scenario a “leap” of faith is called for, leaving unanswered the question to which belief system does one leap, and what are the criteria for making the decision. In the following two verses the Qur’an addresses the origin of the universe, “Have those who deny the truth not seen that the rest of the universe and the earth were joined together as one, which We subsequently ripped apart? And that We made every living thing out of water? Will they then not believe?’ [21:30] “We have built this universe with a force; We are most certainly expanding it.” [S 1:47]. Modem cosmology tells us that indeed the universe began its life as an incredibly small and dense speck (the Big Bang theory), whichquickly expanded in its early life and today continues to expand (as evidenced by the Hubble red-shift). Water is also undeniably tidamental to the composition and evolution of all known types of life. “...[The Originator is] the one who created

the night, the day, the sun, and the moon; each travelling inanorhit with itsown motion.“[2 1:33] In the above, the claim that the sun has an orbit is most astonishing coming from the Qur’an which dates to the 7th century, since it was not until Galileo discovered moving sunspots on the sun with his telescope in the 17th century that this conclusion couId have been achieved by humanity. The above quotations are not suficient to establish conclusively the aforementioned claim, the reader may explore the subject more fully on his/ her own. The important work by Dr. Maurice Bucaille, The Bible, Q&an, and Science is recommendable. The Qur’an is replete with natural descriptions. The intent of such discussions is always to point out the manifest design in the universe. Things afterall could have been different, just imagine a badly designed universe. Physical laws do live up to their namesake since they hold universally and are not broken. What if there were no laws? This would of course imply no authority, designer etc., or at least an unbearably incompetent one. Where there is design, purpose and responsibility are not far behind. When an engineer sits down to design a device, he/she obviously does so with a purpose in mind, and implicitly expects that the user of the device will follow the guide: lines for operation. If a link between the ‘de-, sign---purpose-conscientious use’ triad is broken, understandably the whole endeavour be: comes fXIe.

Newbrough, athletic director at Wilfrid Laurier University and recently retired WLU Golden Hawk head football coach, was elected at the meetings to a two-year term. Toronto’s The Sports Network (TSN) was seeking a right of first refisal on any OUAA games, since the league is member of the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU), with whom TSN holds broadcast rights. “We explained that we couldn’t allow that until our contract with CHCH was over,” Newbrough said, At last summer’s meetings, the

OUAA agreed to a new arrangement with CHCH which saw the station eliminate its coverage of men’s hockey and women’s sports altogether as a cost-cutting measure, The league also agreed to assist the station in finding advertisers for the Saturday afternoon broadcasts. Last season, CHCH broadcast regular season and playoff games up to and including the Ontario finals for football and basketball, the Yates Cup and Wilson Cup respectively. TSN broadcast the national playoffs and championships for football,

hockey,

men’s and wom-

en’sbasketball, and men’sand women’s volleyball. Last summer’s compromise on OUAA hockey was not re-opened at last week’s meetings. The three Quebec schools - UniversityofQuebet at Trois Rivieres, McGill University, and Concordia University remain in the league, and the foursectional structure remains, “It’s a done deal,” Newbrough said.

Dogmas, inspired by popular superstition and perfected by misspent intelligence, have repeatedly been imposed on a Divine process whose purpose has at all times been spiritual and moral. Laws of social interaction, revealed for the purpose of consolidating community life, have been made the basis for structures of arcane doctrine and practice which have burdened the masses whose benefit they were

supposed to serve. Even the exercise of intellect, the chief

tool possessedby the human race, has been deliberately hampered, producing an eventual breakdown in the dialogue between faith and science upon which civilized life de-

pends. The consequence of this sorry record is the worldwide disrepute into which religion has fallen. Sadly, organized religion has itself become a most virulent cause of hatred -and warfare among the people of the world. “Religious funaticism and hatred, ” Baha’u’llah warned over a century ago, “ure a world-devuuringjke, whose viudencenune can quench. The Hand of Divine power can, alone, deliver mankind from this desolating uflictiun. ” Those whom God will hold responsible for this tragedy, Baha’u’llah says, are humani ty ‘s religious leaders, who have presumed to speak for Him throughout history.

that the ecclesiastical cast has no further social role in world history: “0 euncuurse of divines! Ye shall not henceforward behold yourselves possessed of any power. . . . ” To a particularly vindictive opponent among the Muslim clergy, Baha’u’llah said: “Thuu are even us the last trace of sunlight upon the muunfQintop. Soon will itfade uwuy as decreed by God, the Ail-Possessing, the Must High. Thy glory and the glory of suchasarelik theehavebeen takenaway.... ” It is not the organization of religious activity which these statements address,but the misuse of resources. Baha’u’llah’s writings are generous in their appreciation not only of the great contribution which organized religion has brought to civilization, but also of the benefits which the world has derived from the self-sacrifice and love that have characterized clergymen and religious ordersof all faiths: “Those divines....whu are truly adorned with the ornament of kxowledge and of Q goodly charucter are, verily us a head to the body of the world, and as eyes to tte nutions.. ,. ”

SUPERCHUNK!

Superchunk wl3D’S Lee’s Palace Tuesday, May 17

Laura Ballance’s hair flailed like a cat-onine tails, while Mac McCaughn and Jim Wilbur rocked the bells on guitar and drummer Jim Wilbur, an astonishing jackhammer of a musician pounded a solid beat for them to follow. If there was any doubt as to how tracks from their new album Foolish would sound next to songs like “Slack Motherticker,” Superchunk proved that even if they’re not continuously burning out amps, and have actually decided to spend some more time on (gulp) songwriting, doesn’t mean that they’ve stopped rocking like pigs. “The First part,” ” Water Wings” and “Kicked In” all felt perfectly at home next to “Tossing Seeds” (which was itself and easy highlight.)

espite nearly going deaf (I am growing old and shall stop going to live shows soon.) I think I can saythat Superchunk this pastTuesday (the first date of their tour) will probably be the most enjoyable show I will go to this year. It may not be the most moving, or musically brilliant (although Superchunk are all those things and much, much more) but the one at which I lwill look back at with the fondest memories. My brief glimpse of the 3D’S does warrant a quick comment, even though I only caught their last two songs. Fortunately, they were “Outer Space” and “Hellzapoppin”’ easily two of their best. Both were delivered with the beauty of a head-on collision; speedy, punky and worthy of their growing reputation.

Superchunk are,more than anything else, about being young. Not like, when you’re twenty, but more like about fifteen, when phrases like “Punch me harder” are used too

Most of the songs from Up Tu Our Hips were played, along with old favourites such as “The Only One I Know”, “Weirdo” and “Tremelo Song.” The high point of the show was the first song of the encore, “Feel Flows,” which is a funky instrumental tune (and one of my favourite Charlatans song on the new album).

Blue Rodeo stages Thursday, May by Peter Imprint

Brown staff

runge may be out and chaos theory in, but musicologists and physicists alike can agree on one thing. In the Blue Rodeo universe, there is just enough mass and not enough energy for their prospects to stop expanding. This is a band that grew popular enough to abandon licensed bars in its hometown Toronto in favour of softseaters, but can still pack smaller venues out in the hinterland. That’s good news for their fans, of course, who can actually get close enough to their geetar heroes to receive blessing from some holy sweat. The pudding’s proof could be found last Thursday night at Kitchener’s Stages as Blue Rodeo played to a more-than-packed house.

There were moments last Thursday night when, if you drank fast enough and used your imagination, you could remember what the heady days of the Horseshoe Tavern were like.

Although the band’s music may bc less well known than the friendship and admiration of groups like Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Red Kross, etc., this show gave me some indication of exactly how many other people in Toronto are also “of the knife.” The band of diminutive popsters took the stage for the first time dressed in the appropriate retro gear (this might very well be to be the first Shonen Knife tour where the ladies don’t wear matching outfits) and

pounded through song after song from many of their fine, fine studio releases such as their recent “Rock Animals” and “Let’s Knife” while they also played many wonderful songs like “Tomatohead,” “Froot Loop Dreams,” “Flying Jelly Attack,” and “Lazybone .” This night was another first for me; T got to hear “Ice Cream City” sung in English.

The crowd that came to see him, only half filled the Centre in the Square auditorium. Many were older couples, fans that never quite outgrew the sixties. Sure, they now live in suburbia and have three kids and a dog, but somewhere in the basement they still have the dusty old records of Bruce. Cockbum’s career spans 25

years and in that time he has produced twenty-two albums, including the most recent one, entitled Dart to the Heart. He performed two hours worth of “Bruce Cockburn’s best.” Cockburn started out with his classic “Wondering where the Lions are.” He sounded just like, well, just like Bruce has always sounded. After performing a great version of “Lovers in a Dangerous Time,” he thanked the Barenaked Ladies for being able to sing his own song. So, the man can not only sing, but he obviously has

Gen-Xecution: Life Coupland The GenX Reader edited by Douglas Rushkoff Ballantine Books 306 pages, $ 18.95 by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff

he story so far: Douglas Coupland writes “Generation X,” a crappy tale of McAngst in the nineties. Es quire, Cosmopolitan et al. latch on to his hip cry-baby style calling him the voice of a gcncration. All of a sudden, Generation X becomes a catchy label for “kids nowadays” and subsequently Grunge, Beavis and Butthcad and anything that’s supposed to appeal to the average 20 something becomes a post-modern symbol of our inability to cope with the success of our parents blah blah blah. Now, ofthe 20-year-olds that all this shit is supposed to apply to, there are basically three further subsets: those who want GenerationX t-shirts, those who would like to kill those wearing Generation X T-shirts, and those who don’t really give a shit. Being a rather opinionated bastard, I am part of-the second group, however there is one other group that I would kill first: those who made the Generation X T-shirts in the first place. The editor of this book would fall under that category. It’s not that this book is completely useless, there’s a funny story by Dan Clowes, author of the cynical comic “Eightball,” and

an interview with one of rap’s coolest stars Ice Cube, and an interview with the director of “Slacker” and “Dazed and Confused” Richard Linklater. The problem with all of this is that Ice Cube, Dan Clowes and Richard Linklater have absolutely nothing in common with one another. It is quite possible to have heard of one, and not the other two, they don’t represent a generation any more than Shaft, Robert Crumb and Stanley Kubrick represented the generation of the seventies. The whole reason for this Generation X “backlash”is that this moniker isused strictly to make money and has very little, if any, practical application. I suppose I can’t blame Coupland just because the person who initially coins a term can’t really be held responsible for all the shit that follows, but people like Douglas Rushkoff need a severe boot in the head to knock some sense into them. Who can take this kind of shit seriously when there are manifestos like this on the back of the jacket: Here we are. Must of our elders have ulreudy cursed our existence, but we wfusc to be daunted by the appraisals they dump on us. A generation whom uutsidevs have derisively perceived as ignorant and apathetic will t&mutely reveal itself as insightful and influential. Our time has come. Yes my brother! Right on! This pathetic declaration of independ-

after

ence could just as easily have been applied to the Beat generation, the yippees, the hippies or Led Zeppelin fans. Of course, only the dimmest of bulbs within said “generation” would use this kind of sad description. It’s more likely to be suggested by someone trying to understand the “youth of today.” A brief look at the actual contributors of this book is a perfect indicator of how completely wrong-headed this Generation-X moniker is. It might apply to the people creating the actual work, or it might apply to the people buying this stuff, but it can’t apply to both of them. Douglas Coupland himself is in his early thirties, and Linklater is older than that. Even Kurt Cobain was twenty seven when he OD’d on buckshot. --q On the other hand, the -potential audience for all of this hype is generally in their late teens, or their early twenties. All of this generational crap is not new. We weren’t the first to receive a stupid name and we won’t be the last. It’s largely due to books like this which try and keep this idiotic myth alive. If you really want to be a slacker,

. don’t buy it, read it in the book store. Better yet, here’s a really crazy idea that just might work, find out what you’re interested in and follow up on it yourself and don’t wait for someone to try and compile it: USE YOUR OWN HEAD AND THINK FOR YOURSELF. Crazy, I know, but it just might work.

Love is never simple; it entangles those afflicted with it in seemingly insurmountable messes. The characters inSavage Nights are all inextricably linked to each other by love, sex and AIDS. Cyril Collard, french writer, rock star and filmmaker has created an intriguing debut. Shot with a

hand-held camera at times, the film has the aura of wandering, of speed, The picture is never still long enough for the viewer to really get comfortable. Life goes quickly, Collard seems to imply. We not only wrote and directed the film but also plays the main character Jean. Jean, a thirty-something filmmaker from Paris has tested HIVpositive. He continues making films, driving fast cars at breakneck speeds and frequenting gay bars near the Seine. He is living a life on the edge of a razor blade. Then he meets Laura (Romane

Bohringer.) She is 17and loves him until she too almost loses her balance on the sharp edge. She loves him to the point of wanting to contract the virus. She forgives him for not telling her the truth about his disease. She forgives him for not using a condom. But she cannot forgive him for Samy. Samy (Carlos Lopez) is a young homosexual who regularly ticks Jean. Behind his macho boy attitude he hides the fact that he too needs Jean. If cut, he too would bleed deeply. The acting in this film is very strong. Bohringer, Collard and Lopez are believable and three dimensional in their pain, joy and lust for life and death. Savage Nights is one ofthe first to deal with AIDS and homosexuality matterof-factly. Unlike in PhiZadelphia, where bedroom scenes were graciously omitted for the sake of the squeamish American consumer/viewer, Collard has left out nothing. Rather than being sentimental, he offers the viewer a glimpse of the cdnfusion, hate, love, and struggle for sanity that his characters deal with. There is no Hollywood packaging. There is no patronizing or moralizing.

The main reason for the film’s success is that the main issue is not AIDS, but something much larger: love. The disease is secondary. The viewer need not feel sympathy for Jean because ofAIDS. The viewer may choose which character he feels compassion for based on his or her actions.

Perhaps Cyril Collard knew best of all that sympathy for the sake of a disease, not the person, is the worst kindof sympathy. Collard himself had contracted the AIDS virus in 1986. He died in 1993, three days before Savage Nights, his first film was honoured at the Cannes Film Festival with three Cesars.

Isn’t pop music grand? Just when you think the world is being overrun with endless bands playing endless power-pop riffs, sacrificing variety and originality in favour of noise, along come a group like Frente to save the day. Simple acoustic-based pop is not dead yet folks! Before us is a fantastic little collection from this Australian band, who actuallyrecordedthe title track in 1992, but the domestic release only happened this year. While the full length album is on store shelves, this E.P. of seven songs should not be forgotten in the shuffle, as it contains a good deal of material that won’t be on the album. The title track is of course the song that is sweeping the nation, one of the only songs with a recorder solo that 1 can recall making it fairly big (Spirit of the West not withstanding). What’s important though is that this whole collection exhibits a wonderfully breathy sense ofplayfulness throughout, the same sort of innocence that makes Harriet Wheeler from the Sundays so appealing a singer. Like Wheeler, singer Angie Hart burbles with youthful abandon about love, (“Not Given Lightly”), and life (“Testimony”, “Oh Brilliance”). Musically, the band plays in an extremely understated manner. They strip “Bizarre Love Triangle” to its bare bones sound, and demonstrate New Order’s strong songwriting ability in the midst of all those synthesizers. Speaking of which, Frente! use them too, but in such an understated manner that they fit perfectly with the acoustic guitars and handclaps as percusslon. ‘7s it all we can be just to be US?” Hart asks in the closing track, somewhat dejectly. Hopefully the answer is yes, since this debut shows the same sorts of strong songwriiing ability that makes the Sundays such a joy to listen to on a quiet day when you just want to smile to yourself. If they can carry this off on a full length album, it may well be one of the quiet highlights of this year.

As might be obvious from that name, what passes for eastern religious influences permeate the album, which is as much a stripped down jaunt through the grange free universe as a stroll down the eightfold path of the postmodern nineties. The gandharvas write their songs about such notions as “metaphorical birthing,” and “taking refuge in Krishna,” bringing down the fusion of “high and low religion.” And

tour opening of Sarah McLachlan as well as issuing the mellow first single “Someone to Talk to.” This song does no justice for the band as a first single because it is a boring, repetitive piece of crap. Better choices for the first single would be “I Knew That” which sounds like an INXS tune, or even the psychedelic “Drift” with its simplicity, steady beat, and whispery vocals that creates the eerie mood that wafts throughout the album. “As Far As You Can Go” has a Melencamp likeness to the style along with Colin Devlin’s vocals which has those boyish raspy qualities making this tune one of the better tracks. The Devlins have put together arrangements that are technically sound but for the most part the songs aren’t all that catchy which may be why D@ was overlooked on its first release. The music on Drop is empowered with genuine emotion and soul, the lyrics embrace cynicism yet are played tastefully without seeming tame, and for a first album The Devlins seem to be heading in the right direction.

tunes. And when the distortion peddle does kick into action, it is not to the detriment of the songs, rarely outlasting its welcome. However, like most of those other up and comers, the gandharvas do have a few left Iessons to take before their harmonies and song structures really mature. Give the lead singer a cleaner voice, boost the infectious 1iIt of the happier tunes, and cut back on the cynical ballads and the gandharvas might just make it out of London and into bars across the nation, With a touch of self irony and showmanship, these guys could well make a run at the next new sound, even if they nicked their name from what the Maharishi called the Beatles ail those years ago.

Matthew Sweet’s seven song follow up to the critically acclaimed Altered Beast is a clear winner. Aptly titled Son OfAltered Beast,

hHead and two members of Sloan with lesser known bands such as Gleet, Gorp and Bogg. Despite some bad name choices, the CD features some rather incredible songs. ThenewEric’sTriptrack”Evie” is a welcome addition to that band’s already fantastic back catalogue, and

both Sponge tracks are quite fabulous. Actually there aren’t really any

Of course all of this makes me wonder, “Why Hamilton?” My

bad songs on this compilation. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, many of these kids are probably born of steel workers, and no one need question their ability to kick ass when it comes to rawk’n’roll.

opinion is that Hamilton probably doesn’t have any more or less talent per capita than any other southern Ontario town, but it’s bands like Tristan Psionic that brings out the best in them,

records, a label that’s just released “Smell Ya Later,” a seven-inch single fcaturing Tristan Psionic and three other bands and “...Not if I a nineteen track,

Wilf’s Presents WEDNESDAYS

Smell You First,” twelve band CD. The CD mixes some more well known bands such as Eric’s Trip,

Sweet serves up a collection of remixes, studio outtakes and live versions including a super rcndition of Neil Young’s “Don’t Cry No Tears”. The remix of “Devil With The Green Eyes” is played with a hard edged slant that gives the song an interesting kick. The majority of the live tracks come from Altered Beast. The live songs consists of versions of “Superdeformed”, “Someone To Pull The Trigger”, “Knowing People”, “I Wanted To Tell You” along with the above mentionedNeilYoungcover. They are all fine tracks which do not stray too far from the original. All too often live tracks are less than exciting, but Sweet infuses his with a certain energy that makes them a pleasure to listen to. The studio outtake “Ultrasuede” is a welcome surprise. This fantastic tune is the highlight ofthis brief outing. It is strange that it did not find its way on to Altered Beast but helps to complete this eclectic collection. Son Of Altered Beast proves to be a fine offering that will tie Matthew Sweet fans over until his next studio adventure.

This is epitomized in the first single from the album, “Miss World,” which states “I’m Miss World, somebody kill me, kill me pills, No one cares.” This song is currently getting a lot of well deserved airplay. In “Plump,” screams Love “They say I’m plump, but I throw up all the time, it makes me sick.” “Violet” is a catchy tune and makes a good album opener. “Jennifer’s Body” is another good one, while “Doll Parts” shows the lighter side (yes, there really is one) of this band.
