ueen’s Park, June 9. The crowd tensed as the House Clerk stood and proceeded to the front of the house. He whispered in the ear of the Honourable David Warner, Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, who rose and proclaimed the verdict. Sixty-eight to fifty-nine. Bill 167, regarding the rights of same-sex couples had been defeated.

A cheer went up from the opposition members. No such cheer was forthcoming from the members of the gay and lesbian community who packed the visitors gallery.

With loud cries of “Shame!

Shame1” outraged gays, lesbians and their supporters tried to storm the legislature floor. They were stopped on the steps outside the house chamber by a cordon of security officers. Protestors who were there report that some offlcers donned elbow-length rubber gloves before dealing with the crbwd. Others report that officers pushed women in the crowd.

The guards claim that they were just “supporting” the women.

Gay and lesbian supporters who had been watching the vote on television in an overflow room in a side wing of the building were denied exit from the room by security officers.

Gradually, the protestors were forced out of the parliament building. Many had tears on their faces as they emerged. Others made impassioned statementson the stairs in front of the building.

Liberal leader Lynn McLeod was labelled atraitor for voting against the bill after having wooed the gay community during the last election. As the left Queen’s Park, angry protestors vowed, “It’s not over!”

It certainly was not over.

That evening, at 9:OO o’clock, hundreds of gays, lesbians, and other supporters gathered at the intersection of Yonge and Wellesley. Waving placards and chanting, “Shame!” and “Lynn McLeod resign.I” the crowd began a march on Queen’s Park, with police blocking traffic and providing an escort.

At the park, nervous security officers and horse-mounted police in riot gear took up station around the building.

When the march reached the park, it was an impressive sight to say the least. Estimates range from five thousand to as many as ten thousand protestors. The crowd filled the parking lot in fkont of the parliament building and stretched out halhay across the park’s front lawn. The march organizers and wardens, stand-

ran in the last mayoral election commented to the reporter, “It’s a tragic, angry, dark day for the legislature. I’m disgusted.”

Reaching the intersection of Wellesley and Yonge, where the march had started, the protestors sat down and tied up traffic for over fifteen minutes along one of Toronto’s busiest streets. Looking down Wellesley, one could see the crowd stretched back all the way to Bay filling the street from sidewalk to sidewalk.

At Yonge, speakers shouted, “Equal taxes,equal rights! ,” while the crowd sang “We Shall Overcome.” On one sidewalk corner a man, spray painted, “Gay rights or riots!”

The protest then proceeded along Wellesley to Church Street.

Wayne has released a government document indicating that a number of routes, including Kitchener, could be cut.

Joe Fontana, parliamentary secretary to Transport Minister Doug Young, presented the government’s view of VIA. Rail service currently constitutes 1% of intercity travel in the Quebec-Windsor corridor, with private autosaccounting for 90%.

Currently, federal subsidies are up to $92 per passenger on some routes ($12 on the Kitchener line).

Mr.

Fontana

VIA’s problems in high labour costs (nearly 48% of VIA’s budget), and poor passenger ridership. He does not see the point in continuing a service few use.

A common comment made by the public and consumer group Transport 2000 was that improved service would mean improved ridership.

Midnight Sun Shines Strong

The amazing sun car: designed for a family of five.

UW News Bureau ummer is near and the “Sun” is starting to shine, saysDave Walsh, project coordinator for Midnight Sun III -- the University of Waterloo’s solar-powered car.

Midnight Sun III, which is being built by UW students,will compete in Sunrayce ‘95, to be held across the United States from June 20 to 28 next year. The week-long intercollegiate event will cover about 1,771 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado.

The themes of the race, sponsored by General Motors Corp., NREL, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, are renewable energy, conservation, education, and alternative energy sources. UW teams have competed in the two previous races..

There are two categories for the race: A and B pools. The UW team is in the B pool along 34 other teams. They will race in Indianapolis and the top ten teams will advance to the A pool, which consists of 30 teams, including Queen’s University, one from Mexico and Puerto Rico, with the

S

rest being Americans. The first place team will receive sponsorship to the World Solar Challenge in Australia.

Other prizes include the Sunrayce ‘95 trophy and cash.

Everything is on schedule, says Walsh, also the undergraduate systems administrator of computing networks for UW’s Department of Systems Design Engineering. The frame design should be on paper by September, built by January, and operational by March 1,1995. This will give the team time to do some test driving in a warm climate, probably Missouri.

Walsh says the major difference between Midnight Sun III and the previous two vehicles lies in the simplicity of design. “We had a lot of people from the previous two teams coming in and advising our present team.” “Our frame was so successful for Midnight Sun II that we’re going to use a similar design,” saysWalsh. The car’s design will be further modified by incorporating detachable parts made out of Kevlar -mor aircraft aluminum -- that will allow for quick maintenance. The vehicle weight will be 600 to 800 pounds. The weight distribution will also be re-arranged, placing more of the weight above or forward of the front wheels. This will give the car more speed, since the engine will be pushing more of the weight instead

with

of pulling it.

The car will require approximately 800 terrestrial grade solar cells, which will cover a two-bysix metre surface.“On a nice sunny day, you’re looking at maybe 1,000 watts. It’s amazing if you think that 1,000 watts, about the same amount of energy that it takes to power a hair dryer, will charge a bunch of batteries, and those batteries can drive a six-horsepower motor at 80 km/hr.”

According to Walsh, the Midnight Sun 111is an important project for the university because it gives students hands-on training. It also has social relevance, asWalsh explains: “It’s a big environmental type of issue. Ultimately we will seesolar- powered vehicles, though they probably won’t look like the ones in the races.” Such solarpower initiatives have a “public relations value.” The car is being taken to the Molson Indy in July, as well as a few other tracks and parades.

Funding and sponsorship for the UW entry has been coming in with the help of UW alumni and Raytheon Canada Ltd., the major corporate sponsor (who has offered to provide specialty welding for the car frames which are not available at the university). One of the biggest donations is from Fluke Electronics Canada Inc., which gave a $9,000 telemetry system.

The team is seeking additional sponsors; they will need an estimated $SO,OcX,in cash by September or the project won’t have enough resources to work. The team calculates it wiil need about $300,000 to produce a winning car.

The project has been split into technical and non-technical teams.

Students from any course are welcome, not just engineers. There are 24 people involved this term, and $8 in the fall and winter terms.

Ecofemmlsm at UW l

by Karh Zvanitafs special to IiupIillt hat, you may ask, is ecofeminism?

Last Monday, June 6th, a group of interested and curious women and men met to learn more about this important and growing issue.

The discussion was facilitated

by Susan Wismer who is an assistant professor in Environment and

W

Resource

Studies.

Along with teaching courses in community development, impact assesment and women’s studies, Susan also has. a strong personal interest in ecofeminism. On the surface, one may not necessarily con-

l

nect the ecological movement and the feminist movement.

There is however, a number of strong connections between the two movements.

As Susan told us, many of the key similarities lie in the oppression of women and the oppression of nature.

We don’t need to look far to see that the rise ofpatriarchy has brought about a terrible system of abuse and oppression that human beings and nature still endure.

Because ecofeminism is a relatively new movement, there is a lot that we don’t know.

The relaxed atmosphere of the group allowed people to ask Susan some very important and valid ques-

tions surrounding the politics, the roots and the future of tie movement.

It seemsthat in our fastpaced, often out of control, big, noisy world we separate ourselves from the earth. It is then that we must askourselves from where we came.

We too often forget that we are all one and that we do indeed come from the very ground that we stand on. Without nature we would not exist. introduction to This ecofeminism was a nice reminder that we should pause, think about our surroundings, and start to bridge the human-earth connection that we sometimes forget about.

ermicomposting is a project that was initiated by ERS students Jennie Christian, Janet Joynt, Kathy McEachem and Ryan Kennedy.

Professor Jim Robinson and Waste Management Coordinator Patti Cook have also been instrumental in the development of this idea.

This project is part of a program on campus called WATGreen.

WATGreen,allows studentsto conduct research on the environment using the campus asa laboratory, as they get credit for the work accomplished in ERS 285.

Last term there was a WATGreen project which evaluated the composting currently taking place on campus. This project found that vermicomposting could be an effective way to reduce organic waste from offices.

This group hastargeted various offices on campus including the FEDS, the Alumni Office, the EM’Environrnental Studies Dean’s Office, Patti Cook (Waste Coordinator) and a letter has been sent to Dr. Downey’s offIce to assesshis interest.

A vermicomposter has been used effectively in the WPXRG office since this past October. The worms have more than doubled since then, allowing WPIRG to start two new vermicomposters, one of which is in their office.

St Paul’s United College has had a Vermicomposter this term - a great deal of excitement and participation from the studentshasbeen received regarding their new “‘residents”.. .

Co-op not free from sexual harassment

by Awey Senior

Peters Ofncer Internal

Affairs

Here’s a quick “who’s who and what’s what” from CC 235...

The contest for a new Feds logo is well underway; we’re looking for something that reflects the fact that the Federation of Students is a multi-million dollar corporation with service to students foremost on its mind.

As an organization, the Feds have a great history of doing business in the interests of students,and we’d like to capitalize on that in a ‘hot, new look.’

We also want the design to come from a member of the Federation, so if you think you can give the Feds that look, fill out a contest entry form, and submit it with your design to the Internal Affairs office by June 22. You could win $250!

Other things on the go... the Association for Baha’i Studies at Waterloo are sponsoring a Race Unity forum on June 22 in DC 1302 at 7:30 p.m.

The forum hopes to promote the idea of humanity asone family, and to shift the focus

by T-y

of anti-racism protests toward proactive community development along these lines. If you’d like to know more about the event, call the ABS at 884-5907.

As most of you know... Summerfest I takes centre stage at Fed Hall this weekend, so come out and enjoy the Gilligan’s Island atmosphere.

Also, to gear up for the second edition of Summerfest at the end of July, there’s a Frisbee Golf tournament planned for the afternoon of July 22.

You can pre-register at the Fed Office - tickets are $5, with lots of great prizes and proceeds going to charity.

It’s a chance to meet some people (including profs and other university staff) and to socialize -- cash bar at the 19th hole.

The Public’ Issues Commission would like to extend warm thanks to everybody who helped out with the Same Sex Legislation effort; some say it ain’t over yet.

Thanks to those who helped and came out to celebrate Environment Week. $356 was raised for to buy food from Ebytown produce to supply UW’s foodbank.

I WCIS meeting him. But when Igot there he said that we were not staying there -- that we were guing to a little cafe.

L

I had only been working a few days at this point. [At the cafe] he started asking me all sorts of questions that were not related to my project. He said he didn’t picture me as a ‘nine to five girl’ and he made comments about my ‘gorgeous skin colour’ -- I’m West Indian. He said ‘he couldn’t picture me behind a desk’ and when I asked where he did picture me, he said ‘well, you’re here with me aren’t you.’ He told me if I stayed with him, I would go far in the federal government. I was not going to stay any longer so I walked back to the offke. On the way back he said he didn’t usually associate with people at work and that we would have to be discreet or people would gossip. I made it perfectly clear that I did not want this type of association.

But he still went around, so we wouldn’t be seen together.

He continued to call me. I noticed that someonehad been in my offxe, going through my things. A picture of me had been taken off my wall.

Now is the time for Waterloo to develop a proactive and innovative policy, instead of lagging behind. We should create the model for other organizations to follow. Proactive participation is always more effective and constructive thy after-the-fact critiques.

Part Two of this article will appear in the next IMPRINT and will continue Katharine’s report on sexual harassment iu the workplace.

ast week 1 wrote an article in about sexual harassment the Co-op program. Since it was published I have been approached by students saying that they (or someone they know) have been sexually harassed and had faced many of the problems raised in the article.

Other, non-students, I am told, disagreed with my interpretation of the problem. For those who are sceptical about harassment occurrences I offer Debbie’s story, one of the students who responded to the article. I have tried to write her story as she told it to me, using her words and feelings. Debbie (who requested anonymity) is in fourth year Arts.

She was harassed on her last work-term, while employed by the federal government.

The forum pages allow members of the Univesity of Waterloo community to present their views on various issues through letters to the editor and longer comment pieces. The opinions expressed in columns, comment pieces, letters and other articles 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 editorial board of Imprint.

urfing the net, riding the infobahn, cruising on the information highway. Call it what you will, but there’s been an awful lot of press about electronic mail; asking its usual inane questions like “Are we too wired?” and “Can we bypass the traffic jams on the information highway?” Every once in a while there’s also a “Does the internet discriminate against women?” thrown in.

Much ado about nothing, I say.

Only recently losing my info-virginity, I am still a bit of a novice to the various forms of electronic mail, but one thing has become clear. The information superhighway is not going to replace speech, or television, or letter writing, or anything else. The one thing it might replace is bathroom graffiti.

This may sound a little harsh, but that’sprimarily what most of the postings on various newsgroups seem like. Email is a little different - it remoteiy approaches letter writing - at times.

None of this should come as any kind of surprise. Like any tool, the Internet (for lack of a better allincompassing term) is only as interesting as the people who post to it.

Now before I receive a flood of letters to the editor (by the way, I can be reached atimprint@watserv 1.uwaterloo. ca) I must say that I have received many articles and letters to Imprint via our own little kermit terminal emulator, but subscribing to a newsgroup and reading it is very much like frequenting an oftused toilet stall which is regularly wiped

Every once in a while, in order to spice up the usually banal banter, someone “flames” (insults) some&e else, and there’s a crazy flame war. Sounds exciting doesn’t it?

In the end, however, all of this trading of insults usually lacks any senseof wit, and adds up to little more than a typical “John Doe is a stupid shithead.” scrawled next to a urinal, But, there are some advantages to this newfound method of communication, I must add; the main one being that it’s fast. Typing is generally faster than writing, and it’s only a matter of pushing a few buttons to send your thoughts across the country.

As superfluous as this advantage may sound, it may very well be the one aspect of the Internet which saves it from becoming just another toy.

Speed, coupled with the almost universal aceesibility of the Internet, has almost limitless ramifications. Voting, researching articles, contacting professorsor other researchers,keeping abreast of the latest findings in a given field, and (of course) newspaper and magazines on-line, will make electronic communication the next quantam leap from the printing press.

However, it must first survive its gestation period. In order for the information superhighway to be more than a quick method of venting whatever happens to be on the top of one’s head, (after all, that’s what columns arc for) it needs to become more sophisticated itself, There will no doubt become a division in the different kinds ofnewsgroups and other information systems. At one end will be the academic, “serious” postings, and at the other, bathroom -&3ffiti.

Lake Lake t is no surprise that there has been a huge uproar over locating three new garbage dumps in the greater Toronto area, since Queen’s Park has mismanaged this political hot potato right from the-start.

In an attempt to distance itself from the dkcision-making, the government created the Interim Waste Authority, charged with fmding a place to put Metro’s garbage for the next few years. But it tied the authority’s hands by not enabling it to look at actual alternatives to local landfills.

The province missed a golden opportunity to re-evaluate our solid waste disposal practices, and consider viable options to landfilling.

Even with recycling and cornposting, huge metropolitan areas like Metro Toronto continue to generate mountains oftrash every day and have been relying on their more rural neighbours to dispose of their waste, Yet is it the responsibility of the these neighbour‘ing communities to have mega-dumps built on their properties, thereby risking the contamination of their well water and sacrificing their dwindling farmland? The question will never go away ifwe continue to ignore longterm solutions: once these landfills are full, we will be faced with either enlarging them or finding other sites.

It is time for Queen’s Park to act responsibly on this issue, to look at the big picture.

This is no longer something which can be resolved by regional governments and shortsighted waste authorities. We may not have asmuch waste aswe have had in the past,but we are still on the road to having a solid waste crisis on our hands. The province must look at &pal alternatives and will have to make some tough decisions.

The idea with disposing our waited is

I

ofDespair? ofRepair! that we try to isolate the hazards from the biosphere, the surprisingly thin layer of the earth’s crust, including the oceans and the atmosphere, where all life on earth lives and sustains itself.

For a landfill, this means not only stopping its leachate from reaching nearby drinking water wells, but also stopping it from travelling upwards through its protective cap. This upward travel often proves more difficult to prevent than many engineers appreciate.

How can we isolate the waste from the biosphere without piling it up on our neighhour’s farmland? Incineration has been used extensively by other countries to reduce the amount of solid waste disposed in landfills.

We have seen, however, that the impact incinerators have on air quality is publicly unacceptable.

Besides, paper, wood, plastics and k&hen wastesare needed to run an incinerator efficiently, but they are now recycled or composted.

Metro Toronto has proposed that the waste be transported by rail for disposal in abandoned mine shafts.

The schemehas many merits. Transportation links already exist’ and would only need minor upgrading. The resultant jobs would be a boon to economically depressed areas such as Kirkland Lake where mining jobs have disappeared. The costs incurred would be:comparable to designing, building, monitoring and maintaining a mega-dump, especially when the cost of environmental cleanup ancl compensation is factored into the equation. One important question remains: Is this scheme environmentally responsible?

Landfilling household wastes in certain

abandoned mine shafts can potentially be at least as safe, if not safer than current solid waste disposal schemes. The waste is encapsulated deep below the ground surface and has an extremely low probability of reaching the biosphere. If the shafis are suffkiently deep the water found in this rock is brine, and is unsuitable for consumption. This brine does not mix with water in the fieshwaterbearing aquifers above, as they are recharged from rainwater. Even if leachate were to escape from the shafts,it would seep into the brine, and would not encounter potable groundwater or be discharged into lakes or streams.

Still, careful design and risk analysis would have to be done once a suitable site has been chosen. With a properly engineered cap and encapsulation method, there is very little probability of the waste entering the biosphere.

Transportation of the waste by rail is certainly safe. We transport much more dangerous cargo than garbage with minimal risk, and well designed cars would ensure people along the rail link would notice minimal impact. m There arc, of course, other alternatives.

What is clear is that disposing those wastes which we cannot reuse or recycle canbe done safely and responsibly, with a low risk to the environment. The problem is a political one.

Waste disposal is no longer a local ‘issue, it must be managed at the prTvincia1 scale. But prohibiting the shipment bf garbage out of the regions surrounding Metro Toronto has efiectively closed tie door to some environmentally sound alternatives, and missed a chance for us to lead the world.

Letters to the Editor Imprint welcomes letters to the editor from students and all members of the community. Letters should be 500 words or less, typed and double-spaced or in electronic form, and have the author’s name, signature, address and phone number for verification. All material is subject to editing for brevity, The editor reserves the right to refuse to publish letters or articles which are judged to be libellous or discriminatory onI’ the basis of gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. Opinions expressed are those of the individuals and not of Imprint.

The Butler did it To the Editor, This letter is written in response to the Forum page in the June 3, 1994, edition of the Imprint. In that article, Stan.ley Ma, a 4A Electrical student expressed his anger at the theft of some textbooks from his office in DC. Although I sympathize with Mr. Ma’s situation, I feel I must express my own anger at the manner in which he chose to assert his opinions, I use the word opinion because the speculative assertions that Mr. Ma maintains are exactly that -- personal theories (but more on that later). In responding to his claims, I would also like to correct some of Mr. Ma’s statements regarding the items taken and the terms in which the texts are required.

To begin with, I must question the manner in which Mr. Ma reached his conclusions.

He states that due to the nature of the texts stolen, they could not have been borrowed by a grad student in the VLSI lab. Why not? I am sure that the information in undergraduate textbooks is still useful to grad students - although I am in third year, I often consult my 1A text books, especially for quick reference. If all of the grad students with access to the lab have been consulted and know nothing of the books’ whereabouts, this conclusion is we11 founded - if not, I don’t know how Mr. Ma can so easily eliminate those with easiest access to his belongings.

Secondly, Mr. Ma deduces that the most likely culprit for the theft would be a 3A student who is possibly collecting books for the 3B term since . all of the texts for the 3B Electrical term were stolen. However, perhaps Mr, Ma does not realize that the Electrical and Computer Engineering curricula have been altered over the past two years, leading to are-organization of the order in which courses are taken. As stated, E&CE 3 18 and E&CE 38 1 are 3B texts for both electrical and computer engineers and E&CE 481 is an optional course in the 4A term. However, 304 has been moved to 4A for electrical students while still being taught to 3B computer students. As well, E&CE 309 is now a 3A electrical core course.

I suppose with a lot of advance preparation, a 3A electrical student might be able to determine the text hooks he or she will need in the 3B and 4A terms. (8 or 16 months away, respectively) and stock-pile them on the assumption that the texts will not change in the intervening period. This is the argument that Mr, Ma favours. However, following this flawed logic, I would assert that a 3B computer student who is working on campus this term (as Mr. Ma was last term) has as much or more to gain as he or she will require three of the listed texts in just four months.

I don’t want to accuse anyone in the above statement, I just want to use the same reasoning as the original author. I also dispute Mr. Ma’s claim that the thief must have been an electrical student, due to the presence of a there modynamics text among the stolen items. Excuse me? If someone has free reign over an office (which the thief in this case presumably had) do you really tb.k he or she is going to rule out a particular text because it is not in the next term’s course schedule?

Ifa computer engineering student (or a student majoring in any Other &4j& fm th8t matter) is ruled Ouf u a mzpcct for the 8bOVe rmscm, shouldn’t an electrical cngine&ng student alsO be nrld out because iaformatian Tt-

a required cotiponent in the 3B Electrical schedule) was stolen? I realize this logic is flawed, but I use it only to point out the absurdity of Mr. Ma’s argument.

As a final thought, I would like to comment on Mr. Ma’s question, “What can I do now?’ He goes on to state that due to his lack of certainty regarding the identity of the thief, he cannot confront him or her. Excuse me if I seem perturbed by Mr. Ma’s lack of resolution. If he can libellously attack an entire class (the 3A Electricals) in a public forum like this paper, he should be able to confront an individual regarding the same topic. If the person claims innocence, then all Mr. Ma owes him or her is an apologyifthe person is guilty, Mr. Ma will have his possessions back and the case will be closed.

On the other hand, he could always report the theft to the UW Police - that is their job, after all. If Mr. Ma chooses not to follow through with either of these approaches, that is his choice, but I feel that he owes me and all the other 3A Electricals an apology for his unfounded accusations - not only have they hurt me personally, but they may also have tarnished our reputation within the UW community.

As I stated before, I sympathize with Mr. Ma’s plight, but I do not agree with the way that he expressed his anger.

Shantih, Shantih, Shantih Tu the Editor, I have been watching the current debate about the legion’s rejection of turbans in legion halls. This debate tells a sordid tale of newspapers (such as the Record) that have abandonedjoumalistic ethics, inflamed militants, and most of all - people in love with ign&ance.

The media circus condemning the legion and the efforts of Sikhs themselves to force the legion to relent strike me as terminally misguided. Do the Sikhs really want to force the acceptance of Turbans with an act of political confrontation? Will co&ontation get Sikhs accepted into club halls?

On the other hand, ifcmadians knew a little more about what a Sikh is they might be shocked to discover admirable traditions. Perhaps both sides have given up on dialogue a little too easily.

The search for truth ends when dialogue is abandoned.

One factor that stifles dialogue is the fact that newspapers now clamp down on dissenting views. The few people who own the press impose their own politically correct agenda. Southam News Corporation has been busy taking over major newspapers such as the Kitchener-Waterloo Record. These newspapers dangle from the puppet strings of a boardroom whose member wield enormous power over what we think. Much of the coverage of the legion issue has been orchestrated from this boardroom. I haven’t read one columnist connected with Southam Press that has deviated from the government sanctioned views. We continue to see Southam columnists acting 88 shock troops to flatten dissent parachuted into the Record. My view of the legion issue, for example, is simply not welcome in our politically correct media.

One Sikh inwtion proclaims: WC: who says this is save& Truth is the immortal Lord? If both sides of the legion iasuc followed this principle,__

logue. This dialogue would permit an objective examination of the argument that turbans (or any headgear) need be banned in order to defend Canadian tradition. If this argument is shouted down instead of addressed , then we aren’t given a chance to discredit it. In this scenario, organizations such as the Heritage Front will emerge as the only real winners. Perhaps Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh, understood the consequences of “shouting down” the other side when he said: “Oh Grant me that I may never avert from a moral action.”

In pursuing the truth we should begin with simplistic stereotypes. Are Legion members the racist rednecks that Canada’s unfree press has branded them as? I don’t think so. I believe legion members, to a large extent consist of old men who have lost the ability to adapt to the pace of change. They want to hold onto what is left that is familiar and ‘traditional.”

My advice is to leave them alone and hope for low key, consmctive dialogue.

Why hasn’t our “politically correct” media not challenged the popular stereotype of a Sikh? If the average person were called upon to describe a Sikh, they would mention, beards, turbans, and probably swords. Some more educated Canadians wouldprattleabout Sikh militancy, after-all isn’t it true that they want their own independent state in India. Those who know the Sikhs from a more inside perspective might call this description a rash stereotype.

In my own recent exploration of the Sikh religion I have found a gold mine of wisdom. Some of the older legion members will never know what they are missing.

The most important truth about the legion issue deserves a chance to become self-evident to both sides. This truth points to thexfact that the highest western ideals have much in common with Sikh values. The Sikh’s rejection of the Caste system (in India) make them natural allies of anyone who values social equality. Many of the values that the Legion members fought to protect, Sikhs have also fought to protect.

In reaching for a solution to the racial disharmony in our society I cannot help but recall the words of Sikh Guru Arjan Dev: “by God’s grace, looking upon pain and pleasure alike and seeing God within every heart.”

1 would leave the Sikh and Je&ish leaders with a few questions. Do you really think this kind of confrontation is going to win a more tolerant society?

You suspect (perhaps with good reason) that legion members argue in favour of the turban ban (or yarmulke) because they are racist. Does this suspected racism provide a good reason to ignore the merits of the argument itself? Finally, can you just brush aside the claim of legion members that they want to defend “Canadian” tradition without making yourselves look like bigots. Even if this claim strikes you as being rather flimsy you may have a motil duty to respect it.

Morality Vanity

To the Ed&w, Sindi Sabourin’s reasoning (purporting to show - “prove” - Jesus was God) boggles the mind. She starts off presupposing 8 gent called Jesus cvtn existed at all, : Jesus existed because many pqle ctied for his cause. Is this a sick 8@ to majo&y or what? (‘& mpj0rit-y believe P -3 P- ia true.)

The Village Atheist, what does he mean?! Mr Siconolfi states “Dickerson] doesn’t deal with the problem of sin. He implies that God is the cause of human suffering when in reality you choose your own poison.”

With original sin though, where is the choice? If we are naturally determined to be evil how do we choose to be good? Original sin, as a form of psychological determinism, rules out free will and, therefore, justice. Without free will there can be no morality and we really would be (a la B.F. Skinner) beyond freedom and dignity.

Since everyone is quoting From their favourite religious works, I’d like to leave a few quotes from my own antiBible, Atlas Shrugged (by Ayn Rand): “Your code begins by damning man as evil, then demands that he practice a good which it defines impossible for him to practice. . .A sin without volition is a slap at morality and an insolent contradiction in terms: that which is outside the possibility of choice is outside the province of morality. . .Do not hide behind the cowardly evasion that man is born with free will, but with a “tendency” to evil. A free will saddled with a tendency is like a game with loaded dice. . .They call it a morality of mercy and a doctrine of love for man [!I”

Six Four Remembed TO the Editor, After having scanned through the June 1 issue of Gazette and June 3 issue of Imprint, I was rather surprised that not one word was mentioned about the terrifying events that affected over 1 billion people 5 years ago on June 4, 1989 - The Tian’anmen Square Massacre.

I guess it’s been a while. Its effect on the international community has died down. To the average Canadian, apathy is probably the reigning attitude to the event.

However, this is no laughing matter to a sizable population of UW students. The sizable group that I speak of are students of Chinese Students Association is one of the largest clubs on

campus. Other “Chinese” clubs include the Taiwanese Students Association, the Hong Kong Student Association and the Singapore-Malaysia Student Association (where most members I’ve met are ethnically Chinese.) A simple glance in a typical class in the Math Building, will show that Chinese fill up the first few rows of the class. The MC Building has even been dubbed the Mandarin and Cantonese Building.

I didn’t leave the TV set that entire day of broadcasting. 1 glued myself to the TV, fseling not only sympathy tQ my fellow countrymen who had died, but also sorrow and pain that a country I love so much has once again disappointed me.

Unlike myself, many TN students were in Hong Kong at the time of the Tian’anmen Squareevent which is now known unaffectionately as 6.4 (sixfour). To them, the situation at that time was much more serious and urgent.

Any political instability in Mainland China greatly affects Hong Kong, a territory adjoining the Chinese province of Guangdong (Canton.)

They watched on in fear, anger, and with feelings of insecurity as tanks rolled over people and troops shot into the crowd. Their minds were not eased knowing that 1997 is just around the comer. 1 S million HKers (25% of the population) didn’t protest for nothing.

For overseas Chinese, it was worry for all the relatives that live near the incident. It was also fear for many who regularly return to the Far East for visits and for those with sizable investments in the area.

For mainland Chinese visa students, it was a time of confusion and insecurity as they were unclear about their fate. Should they attempt to stay in Canada or should they return to an unstable environment?

To me, I was worried about my relatives that still live in the Guangdong and Taiwan provinces. I feared how the events of 6.4 will affect the tensions that have been existing for the past 40 years with my homeland Taiwan (Republic of China) and Mainland China (People’s Republic of China.} Let us not disregard history, for it will certainly repeat itself. 6.4 was one of the darkest days in Chinese history.

We can never let it happen again. We shall never forget.

Theorem: Muhammad revealed the will of Allah.

Proof= I will begin by proving the following claim: Muhammad was the final prophet of Allah.

Prtwf of Claim: Suppose to the contrary that Muhammad never claimed that Allah revealed the Truth to him. Ifthis was so then why was he responsible for the Q&an? Perhaps his followers, knowing till well that Allah did not speak to Muhammad, started the greatest hoax ever. Then why were so many of them willing to fight and die as martyrs on the claim that Muhammad revealed the will of Allah? Would you give your life for a cause that you knew to be a hoax. I doubt it.

Suppose they truly believed that Muhammad was Allah’s prophet, but in actuality, he was not. Would all his followers have believed Muhammad to be Allah’s prophet if Muhammad had not made this claim of himself? If Mahammad was such a prophet, he would certainly let this be known. So obviously Muhammad claimed to reveal the will of Allah.

Since Muhammad claimed to be the final prophet to reveal the will of Allah, there now remain only three possibilities: 1) He was a liar who planned to deceive.

2) He really believed that he was Allah’s prophet but was actually deluded.

3) He was who he claimed to be.

Case 1: If Muhammad’s plan was to create a hoax then why didn’t he simply tell people what they wanted to hear so that they would believe him.

Why did he always act selflessly in the best interests of his fellow man? Only a sincere belief in his cause would explain this. Why did he tell people that they were forbidden to drink alchohol and that they must obey strict laws? If he truly wanted followers for his own desires why did he always behave so as to bring peace

amonst warring factions? How was he able to remain a paragon of wisdom, virtue and justice despite the fact that so many were willing to obey his commands? These are not the characteristics of one who seeks followers for personal gain.

Case 2: Suppose Muhammad was deluded. If this is so, then how did he manage to teach so brilliantly?

Could a lunatic be responsibie for the beautiful poetry and wisdom of the Q&an?

Hardly, Why did so many follow him with such devotion? How was he, an illiterate man, able to write such a work? How did he move the mountain? How was a culture able to develop so rapidly in art, philosophy, science, and civil justice by using the words of a lunatic as their guide? Clearly, Muhammad could not have been a lunatic.

Case 3: While these arguments seem to rest on the accuracy of the Qur’an, this is justified because modem science has yet to conflict with anything in the Qur’an, in fact, certain verses in the Qur’an are even clearer in light of modem science. Further, unlike a certain other religious text, the Qur’an remains pure.

How could a work written twelve centuries ago have anticipated later developments in science unless it were revealed by Allah? How would a charlatan or a lunatic have been able to attract so many followers and continuesto do so every day? Think about it: millions still follow the word of Allah as revealed in the Qur’an and live productive and spiritually fulfilled lives on the basis of what was revealed to Muhammad.

Does it really make sense that Muhammad was merely a charlatan or a lunatic?

I thus conclude that Muhammad was the last prophet of Allah and that he revealed the will of Allah for all to follow.

creation, the Holy Qur’an is very clear on this; his miraculous birth does not make him a God or a “begotten” son of God: “The similitude of Jesus Before Allah is As that of Adam; He created him from dust, Then said to him: ‘Be’; And he was” (359).

Hence being born without a male parent does not make Jesus (PBUH) a god, otherwise Adam (PBUH) would have a greater right to such a claim since he did not h&e any parent!. The Qur’an further rebuts the claim of the divinity of Jesus (PBUH) by stating the truth about his creation, plain and simple: “She said (Mary): ‘0 my Lord!

How shall I have a son when no man bath touched me?’ He said: ‘Even so; Allah create& What He willeth: When He hath decreed.*A matter, He but saith To it. ‘Be.’ and it is !” (247). . .

The Qur’a~ absolves Jesus (PBUH) from all the false charges of hiti etiti&s as well as the misplaced infatuation of his .&lowers. His memies allege that he blasphemy against God by claiming Divinity and his follotiers claiin that be did avow Divinity.. Addressing bth the Jews and the Christians, Allah says: “0 People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say Of Allah aught but the truth.

Christ Jesus the son of Mary Was (no mere than) A Messenger of Allah, And His Word, Which He bestowed on Mary, And a Spirit proceeding From Him: so believe In Allah and His Messengers. Say not ‘Three’: desist: It will be better for you: For Allah is One God: Glory be to Him: (Far Exalted is He) abov$ having a son. To Him Belong all things in the heairens Andon earth.

And enough Is Allah as a Ditiwser of affairs” (4:171).

Test Match

Canada vs. Wales Markham, On turio June 11, 1994

by Dave Fisher special to Imprint

L

ast Saturday’s rugby international between Canada and Wales, at Markham’s Fletcher’s Fields, had long shaped up and promised to be a bitterly fought grudge match. For better or worse, that’s precisely what the 5,500 or so evenly divided flag-waving spectators got.

As far as the Welsh were concerned, this Test was both a payback and must-win situation. Last November, Wales hosted Canada in a Test at Cardiff Arms Park, a stadium which (along with England’s Twickenham,

New Zealand’s Eden Park, and South Africa’s Ellis Park) stands asone of the four great cathedrals of world rugby union, Despite Canada’ s new-found recognition as an emerging power in international

Athenas

rugby following an impressive campaign in the last World Cup, our national side was nevertheless considered a virtual cinch to lose in November.

Undaunted by the Arms Park’s glorious prestige and history, however, Canada pulled off one of the greatest upsets in recent rugby memory with a stunning and dramatic last minute 26-24 victory.

It was without a doubt the biggest lift in Canadian rugby history, and quite possibly the worst humbling of a once-mighty rugby nation that’s been dealt some fairly crushing blows over the past 15 years.

As the Welsh nation mourned and the rest of the rugby world laughed at them (rugby, after all, being the Welsh religion), Canadian rugby rejoiced knowing their stature had been solidified, if not altogether

assured. And just in case there were any scoffers out there (and truth be told there were many), Canada pretty well erased any doubts with an equally astounding M-1 6 victory two weeks ago over France, a rugby super-power, in a Test at Nepean, Ontario.

So on Saturday the Welsh h& a genuine

foe and a long simmering score to settle. The game might’ve been played opposite a Blue Jay-Yankee game, the Belmont Stakes, and the Stanley Cup, thus ensuring even more limited attention than is usual for the game in Canada, but the touring crimson dragons hit the pitch knowing all of Wales was watching and prepared to roast them should they once again fail in disgrace.

That’s very nearly what happened. In the first I5 minutes of the game, niggling penalties called by South African referee Ian Rogers killed most of the early momentum and placed the game firmly in the hands of both sides’ respective penalty kickers. Canada’s sharpshooter, stand-off Gareth Rees, potted all three of his attempts easily to give Canada a commanding 9-O early lead. On the other . hand, Rees’ Welsh

counterpart Neil Jenkins missed all three of his attempts, two of which were inexplicably shanked f&n square in front of His confidence looked to be shatthe grumblings f&m W&h fans could be heard all the way to &rdiff.

For their part, Wales nqer panicked or. wavered from their game plan. After plIlying a tight first quarter, they started to put togetherscnnebac~e~dvreshthe serum and were rewarded with a nifty blindside try by ccntre Michael Hall deep in the comet Jenkins converted from an improbableangleandhiskickinggamc~~ tet Mly recovered. Another try by Hall, and a conversion and penalty goal fkom Jenkins, gave Wales a J 7-l S halftime 14 Rees having landed Canada two furtherpenalty goals.

It was all the scoring Canada would get for the day, and Wales was ready to pile it on.

From a tactical perspective, Canada’s first half exhibited a fair amount of co&sion. They were easily winning early line. out ball, but then choseto continually call for shortened line-outs which, more-ofien-thannot ,they lost. Their persistence in this strategy as they employed a game of forward control and domination was rather absurd.

Sho~~line-outsatecalledf~whenyou’re either certain of. winning the ball (which Canada already was under the normal Iineout), or when the team wants to effectively release a live bail through the backfield. This was rarely the case for Canada who kitiked all their possession into touch for a~ territoM I ‘, *

thepoiis. teredand

advantage, but an advantage that seldom gave Canada any open space within which to move the ball. So transparent, in fact, was Canada’s play that every time Canada won some quality possession the Welsh fans were chanting for Canada to give the ball to Rees, who everyone in the stadium knew was going to boot away. If Canada went into the game with any explicit game plan, it seemed to be one of kicking the ball for territory and then containing the ball tightly in the forwards to play for penalties. Undeniably boring, it can sometimes be highly effective.

But if there’s only meagre support for the ball (often the dow fall for Canada in this game), then it’s high y ineffective, It also creates a great deal f frustration in the forwards, and that’s p -

Tanner were a little less leaden in their performance, but no less intense.Obviously taking a cue from the headliners, Tanner was a perfect mix of hardcore and punk - an ideal foil for Drive Like Jehu.

Punishing, passionate,intense, all these words could be used to describe Drive Like Jehu (that’s Jay-hoo), but they still wouldn’t be enough.

The rage that Trent Reznor pretends to let out doesn’t compare to the sonic onslaught of DLJ. Playing for well over an hour, Jehu refused to let up even once.

The band opened with one of their best singles - the Merge-released “Hand Over Fist” and launched directly into that 7-inch’s B-side, “Bullet Train to Vegas.”

hiie Sandy was privy to the loud thrashings of Drive Like Jehu, 1 was witness to quite a different show indeed. Right now I’m watching Sandy type in words like, “passionate” and “intense” to describe Jehu, which is strange because the same words could be used to effectively &c&e the onslaught of emotion that was the Tindersticks show.

By way of explanation, the Tindersticks hail from London; the seedy, darker side of it aa)rway.

Themusictheyplayhasamyriadof different influences: Nick Cave obviousiy(they toured with him in Europe), but with echoes of everything f+om V.U. to Tom Waits, to o&cure bands like 1984 Rough Trade 8cf the Apartments. In fact, if the band had their way, obscure would be just how they would wanf to stay, in terms of their career that is. They delight in releasing very limited edition singles, pressing only 500 of their first and 2000 of their superb second effort “Marbfes”. All contain the samethemes of romance, loss, and general momeness, set to singer Stuart Stai @e’s low voiced meanings.

The six of them appeared to the medium-sized crowd in rumpled suits that would have looked slept in had it looke&like they had‘any.

They smoked; they drank beer, _ Stuart crooned into the mic like a faded star of some nightclub act,

and the band responded by playing some fantastically melodic music.

The mix was the best i’ve ever heard at Lee’s as the vocals, trumpet, and violin interplayed beautifully with one another. One complaint would be their failure to play any of their numerous singles except “Kathleen”, but for the crowd to cheerat the hearing of them would almost make the band cringe. Any promotion they do is done reluctantly, totally at the behest of their record company, one presumes.

They make Kurt Cobain seem like a media hound. The band-would rather prefer to have people stumbie across them, enjoy the music quietlyastheydidonthisnight,and leave3 at that.

The beautifail piano wash of ‘Xaindrops”endedthefirstset,and proved to be the ultimate highlight Despite Stuart’g disappointment at Canada’s bars closing at the draconian hour of 1 A.M., the band seemed to c&e enjoy the evening.

The crowd left pleased, waving the smoke out of the air as they passed.

Opening the evening were Canadians Dinner Is Ruin& with a very bewildering setof music. This three piece, while asking about the hockey score, played a continous wash of your typical guitar, drums, and tuba f?!) music, while the tubist switched at various times to a trombone, trumpet, didgeradoo, some sort of hand harp, and accordian.

Klesmer Band, to be sure. It was weird, but it kept me interested, and providedagoodenoughsoundtrack to the second period of the game.

The Tindersticks, standing at the bar, seemed father puzzled-

LeadsingerRickFarr’svoiceranges from a tortured scream to a tormented howl, while he and guitarist John Reis (who also moonlights in Rocket from the Crypt) unleashed slashing powerchords accentuated by the tightest rhythm section this side of the Pacific.

While Farr provides the focal point for the whole band, he is ably supported by Reis. Reis alternates between the manic stop startchords on his sparkling gold guitar which define Jehu’s sound, and various feedback squeals which break up the relentless, driving rhythms.

The show ended in a mesmerising ten minute repetitive chord which droned on while the stage lights mimicked an epileptic fit. It was at this point that Custom Floor’s drummer attempted to join Jehu on stage.

His efforts were thwarted, however, by a bombardment of small objects from the rest of Custom Floor and Tanner, and he was eventually jostled off the stage by Farr.

Drive Like Jehu are an aberration among the alternative music scene. Not coming from any specific “scene” and musically as far away from anything else on the charts as one could be. In spite of all of this, they have proven that both in the studio and in a live setting, they can out perform any flavour of the day thrown to us by major labels.

here is a new guitar player making waves on the Canadian music scene and his name is David Gogo. Nanaimo B.C. native David Gogo has been hailed by some as the next guitar legend, following in the footsteps assuchgreats asStevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix. After checking out his show at the Volcano last Friday it seemsthat Gogo is indeed worthy of all the hype he is receiving.

David Gogo was certainly not shy ashe showcased his aggressive blues guitar playing for the more than receptive audience. Gogo has all the guitar tricks down pat. He entertained the crowd by playing his Montreal Canadians guitar behind his back, Hendrix style, as well as sitting down to strum out a song using a hastily polished off bottle of beer. Backed by a stellar band, Steve Webster on bass and Jorn Andersen on drums, the blues were in abundance.

IN

his self-titled debut. A cover of B. B. King “It’s My Own Fault” was performed in fine fashion but it was the Gogo originals like “Deep End” and “Play The Blues” that got the crowd going. Songs like “Learn The Hard Way” and “Western Coast” were just drenched in the blues and Gogo played them with great emotion.

Exceptional treatment was given to soon to be Gogo classics “Bullet Proof Vest” and “Learn The Hard Way”. The show at the Volcano proved two things; first, that David Gogo is a fine singer/songwriter and second,Gogo is also sensational blues guitarist. In the future you can be sure to expect great things from this talented musician.

The Beautiful South (known to some as the Housemartins part two) had a large task following up 0898, their most success~l alburn to date. The result is MIAOW, a disappointing effort by the band.

A quick look at the band photo in the liner notes soon reveals the reason why the BS of 1994 are not what they used to be. Their female vocalist Briana has left the band, and has taken the soul of the group with her.

Apparently the NME reports that Briana left the band because of the track

Lyrics include the female vocals “So it’s me left with the baby and the disease” followed by Paul’s lines “You can’t say you didn’t want it on your hands and on your knees”.

Briana has been replaced by

“Annie” on Broadway and played Archie’s niece on “All in the Family? Perhaps she’s trying too hard to prove she’s not a kid anymore. It feels artificial at times.

Nonetheless Ms. Brisebois work on Arrive All Over You is impressive: she sang lead vocals, played piano and acoustic guitar, and co-wrote nine of the eleven songs,Her lyrics lean toward the cliche but many of them still ring true with me as she touches on topics like God, identity, love, loss and uncertainty. My favourite track is a soul: fir1 ballad called “Just Missed the Train.”

It sounds more honest than some of the

Danielle Brisebois is a promising artist with the potential to enjoy some success in her own right.

Y’know, it’s funny how certain albums have to be heard in a certain environment in order to fully appreciate them. I was going to say it was reasonably fine, but not up to the standard set by this Vancouver quartet ‘sDeadand Gone to Heaven EP. Then I went to Phil’s a couple of Mondays ago to see Cub, and inbetween sets the sound guy was playing tracksfrom this album. That listening caused me to re-evaluate my position, and here it is...

Sltr’ver is probably going to be one of the best Canadian albums released this year. The nice thing for British aficionados however, is that here is a band that sounds English, but still fills radio and television Can-Con requirements.

It’s all there folks: the arty photos, the handwritten song lyrics, the shots of the band looking depressed. And those lyrics! Lead singer Kristy Thirsk sings, “Someday I’ll lft the dark chds,” or laments, “your indifirence is my demise,” and speaks of tempests and doves and windblown bodies etc. Thirsk’s voice seems most

influenced by labelmate Sarah Mclachlan, but we all know she’s a big fan of Liz Frasier, Siouxsie Sioux, or even Kate Bush. As for the music, quite simply if you’ve heard the once local band An April March, you’ve heard the Rose Chronicles, right down to the off beats on drums and the rolling bass.

I don’t mean to sound derisive to the band though. This is a very fine effort, and suggests that they could become one of the bestbands in this country, if they aren’t already.

This album is basically a cross between a sped up Slowdive and the already mentioned Mclachlan.

It’s arty shoegazer music, quite capable of standing up to their British contemporaries.

Thirsk’s voice has a remarkable range (I’d guess four or five octaves) and is wisely not buried in the mix, while the band are very adept at using their effects pedals.

“Awaiting Eternity” is here--their equivalent to ‘Vex” really--along with the gorgeous “Visions” and ‘Undertow”. Pick your favorite readers; there’s lots to choose from.

If they don’t cancel again, the band will be at Phil’s on the 22nd, and I would suggest seeing them while you have the chance, before they tour out west or something.

After all, how many British bands come to Phil’s anyway?

bum is shit.

The songsare typical Femmes; you can expect what’s to come, you cansing along to any of the songs almost immediately, and the lyrics are silly to the point of just being stupid.

It never bothered me all too much with Gano’s forced rhyming lyrics, and downright stupid topics but with New Times it irria tatesyou to the point ofjust turning

it off.

Probably the absolute worst song is “Mirror Mirror (I see A Damsel) which is sung like it was made for Romper Room.

‘Vesusof Rio” is almost as bad and is supposed to be the Femmes attempt at taking a political look at global issues. Gimme a break! / I must admit, the first listen makes you really regret picking it up, but ifyou listen

to it enough (like 100 times) some of the songs grow on you.

“Breakin’ Up” is the first single to hit the airwaves, but if you like it don’t be fooled into buying this album. It’s catchiness wears thin like “Don’t Start Me On The Liquor,” another OK tune; one of the better ones that I don’t mind too much is ++Isaw You In A Crowd.”

However, in light ofthe fact that New Times bites, I would delinitely recomend their live show.

Songs like “Add it Up” and “Blister in the Sun++can always get a crowd thrashing about. Unfortunately none of this shows up on this disc.

Jacqueline Abbott who certainly is a capable vocalist, but lacks the distinctiveness of her predecessor.

The special chemistry between the vocalists that spawned great songs such as “A Little Time” and ‘Wumber One Fan” is lost.

Onfirstlistenthealbumsounds like the band of old, with happy melodies acting as counterpoint to the twisted andsometimes disturbing lyrics. Unfortunately, the songs quickly sound overworked, almost like the band is trying hard to sound like the Beautiful South. For some unexplained reason co-vocalist Dave Hemingway continues to co-write the songs, but sings precious little on the

TheBeautill South havemade a rather formidable contribution to popular music; a contribution made even more difficult considering the fact that they have had to work perpetually in the shadow of the Housemartins.

However, any trepidation one would have had of Heaton’s ability to continue without his former bandmates was surely erased with 88’s brilliant “Choke” a brief but brilliant record which combined poppy top 40 sounds with some intelligent but vitriolic lyrics.

With the release of Longing In Their Hearts, Bonnie Raitt continues to follow the mold cast by her last two releases,luckOfThe Draw and Nick Of Time. This is good news for Raitt fans but unfortunately this format tends to wear a little thin by the end of this release.

Of the twelve tracks on this release less than half are actually penned by Raitt. Either way, Raitt still finds a way to make each song her very own.

Not surprisingly then, the first single off the album “Love Sneaking Up On You”, although not a Raitt song, is magnificently done.

This opening track is just as catchy as her earlier hit “Something To Talk About” but Longing In Their Hearts goes downhill from there.

It is a gradual slide filled with a few highs like the rockin’ title track “Longing In Their Hearts”, the catchy “I Sho Do” and the traditional blues of”Shadow OfDoubt”, but by no means is this one of R&t’s best.

Raitt is solid on slide guitar but this release suffers from poor material that Raitt had to work with.

For a better estimation of Bonnie R&t’s talents one would best be directed to her past two albums or her solid greatest hits package of earlier material.

wardly titled “Miaow.”

The album’s highlight “Hooligans Don’t Fall in Love” is the best example of the South’s moving forward musically (this time into the land of the wah-wah pedal ) yet maintaining the acerbic wit andmelodious vocals which make themso subversive.

The only major disappointment on this album is the new female singer3 voice, which doesn’t quite have the innocence of Briana’s (a quality that was indeed essential to the band’s charm.) This album suffers seriously from Briana’s departure, but there’s still enough to make it worth buying.

For too long, the question has been “Can white boys rap?” Luscious Jackson have already anticipated the question “Can white girls rap?” and answered with a resounding yes.

Many of you have probably heard their first single “Daughters ofthe Kaos,” a song which, it is fair to say, has balls.

The rest of this EP is equally brilliant, and although at first no other songs on this album will strike you as quite so hard-hitting rest assured that a few listens will make you a fan.

Besidesa terrible, terrible cover there are a few lyrical problems.

This wouldn’t normally be a concern except for the fact that they include their lyrics in the liner notes, which allows you to scrutinize some of their lines like “My underarm hair is a nice little length./My eanvax is few, but this is my strength.” Hah hah, hah, heh, heh, huh, hmmm.

Yeah, whatever.

But never you mind such pathetic rhymes. With Luscious Jackson,it’s the rhythm that counts, and backed by some of the fiercest beatsthis side of Cypress Hill, Lustcious J+ckson have proven their ability to make a great song, lyrics notwithstanding.

Stripped down rock and majorly punk, Grunt has potential. These are driving in your car tunes.

They are loud and thrashy and a tad unpolished, but that’s what makes it fun.

The vocals are rough almostto the point of being coarse but the wicked guitar licks in tunes like “Swine” and “Black Heart” more than compensate.

They even have their own theme song, “Theme From Crunt”. Overall, a fine debut that can hopefully be expanded upon on their next outing. point their various guns and baseball bats into the camera.They pose like the meanest motherfucke& to hit the streets since Shaft.

if I really admire a painting, I don’t try and touch it up with some more paint. Likewise, to show respect for a city is not to come up with a hackneyed concept album about how cool it is, and indirectly, how cool you are for knowing about it.

All of this sorry stateof affairs becomes even sadder when you think that this man actually had a hand (no matter how small) in creating one of the most important bands in pop music history.

Unfortunately, McLaren here is simply demonstrates how unique and flighting his historical role really was.

I’m not sure if it’s their lack of innovation over the years to make stylistic changes to the music, or maybe they have just found their niche producing the same music, album, after album, after album.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing but as a fan I wouldn’t mind hearing something that goes beyond The Innoce~lts and a little more creative than ABBA. Even though the sound is the same as usual, the songs grow onto you eventually, and you find

yourself humming along in no time.

The first single “Always” is getting a fair bit of deserved airplay, as is “Take Me Back”, both ofivhich are pretty catchy tunes. Actually most of the tunes are catchy.

The concept that Clarke and Bell pitch on I Sq I Say I Say is children’s fantasy. From the cover, to the lyrics, to the song titles this album screams Y’m going to be an old ticking dinosaur with a bunch of shitty albums that all sound the same....1want to be a kid again!”

wah-wah

can

take anyone who labels their stage manager as a slut seriously?

Don’t waste your time or money with this sexually-fixated (wouldn’t Freud have loved these guys), attentiondesperate band, unless you have broken an old CD case and don’t mind spending 20s for a brand new one.

by Semour Drewe special

to Imprint

Not only does Erasure make disco gay with ABBA-Esque-isms, but they make gay disco. Album after album, gay disco after gay disco, Erasure poofs out tunes that sound like... gay disco.
