he Council of Ontario Uni versities released a corn pendium of statistics on Ontario Universities last week. The focus of much of the data is on gender demographics, showing that women have made large leaps in post-secondary education over the last decade. Women are a majority in all Ontario Universities. At UW and WLU, they represent 50.6% of the student population. The report is divided into six sections,Ontario population data, Financial data, Student data, Fees data, Faculty and Staff data, and Physical Facilities data. In 1984, the median income by educational attainment for men was $34,979, while it was a much lower $20,276 for women. By 1992, males were making, on average, $45,497 while women were now making $33,042. While women are still below the average of $39,385, they have been increasing at a rate faster than men, A more significant factor for women is the population of Ontario with post-secondary qualifications. The release shows that out of eight different disciplines, women represented a majority in five of them, from a high of 82.3% in health professions and 75.0% in education. However, women remain

plying to that faculty compared to the total number of females in Ontario with those degrees the previous year. Women also receive more undergraduate degrees than men in all but the Science and Engineering discipline. In 1992, women accounted for 3,83 1more degreesthan men, 2,496 more degrees than men in Social Science, and 3,429 more

faculty. In the Social Sciences, women, on average, composed 45% of first year applicants, except in the area of Social Work, where 80% ofthe applicants were women. In Science and Engineering, women represented a majority only in traditional roles such as Nursing, Household Science and Rehabilitation Medicine. In Engineering and Applied Science, they made up only 16% of first year applicants. Although this is only a small number of applicants, it represents a doubling of students ap-
l
degrees than men in the educafield. Men, however, received I,8 18 more degrees than women in Science and Engineering. The gap is slightly more in favour of men when it comes to post-graduate work. In 1992, men accounted for 4,346 of the Masters degrees given out, while women received tional
4,049.
The gap increasesat the Doctoral level, where men outnumbered women almost two to one. Women received 463 degrees, with men receiving 885.
The report also presented average marks received by major program groupings regardless of gender. In 1992, the average mark received over all, in all faculties, was 78.1%. Engineering and Sciencehad the highest overall grades with 81.2% and 80.7% respectively, while Arts and Nursing scored lowest with 75.9% and 76.7% respectively. Other figures of note include the average salary of full, associate and assistant professors. Full professors, who make up the largest proportion of university faculties at 38.9% receive an average salary of $90,786. Associate professors receive an average salary of $74,98 1 and make up 34% of full-time faculty. Assistant professors, representing a smaller percentage at 2 1.9% of faculty make an average salary of $56,898. The statisticsstatewhat many people already believe to be true. Despite an historical underrepresentation in Engineering and Science faculties, women represent a majority in most other fields, and are slowly making headway in the Engineering disciplines. While their current numbers in these disciplines remains on average lower than men, their numbers are increasing. The statistics are culled primarily from Statistics Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

P
rofessor Herbert Richardson is currently facing dismissal proceedings from the University of Toronto for “breach of fiduciary responsibility”. Richardson, a 6 1-year-old ordained presbyterian minister, has taught religion at St. Michael’s, an affiliate of the University of Toronto, for over 20 years. Herbert is the first tenured faculty member to be confronted with such charges in nearly 25 years. Richardson, who is three years from retirement, has received some extremely negative reviews of his academic work over the last five years. Donald
Dewees,
the Dean
of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto wrote Richardson a seven page memo outlining the potential reasons for dismissal.
“The department took quite seriously the number of formal student complaints, those complaints either made orally or written.” said Dewees, according to the Varsity, a U of T newspaper. He has a history of highly unorthodox and erratic behaviour in his classrooms. An anonymous student told the Varsity, “He had a habit of humiliating students. He would grow very very angry, scarmg everyone.” Not only was he upsetting the students, but the university became increasingly concerned with Richardson outside affairs. In January of 1993, he took a term long sick leave claiming he had a serious heart ailment, and, as a result, he was unable to teach his classes. Yet, in April and June of 1993, he travelled to several
major
American
cities
and
stopped in Kansas to establish the new University of Western Kansas. “We were very concerned that Professor Richardson is not
tilfilling his duties toward the university.” said Adel Sedra, University Provost. The University of Westem Kansas is the second school Richard has founded. Although Richardson claims that the universities have a British license, neither university has received accreditation. There are no campuses or classes,but it does have a tuition fee of $995. The graduates receive “equivalency” degrees in “life experience”. To receive their degrees, they must demonstrate: competence in sociological comprehension and psychological selfknowledge, the ability to live life in a rational way, cultural literacy, creative expressiveness and multicultural sensitivity, religious and moral self-consist-
million. Mellen Pressbegan published religious texts, often in association with the Unification Church, led by Sun Myung Moon. During the early ‘8Os, he began publishing writings from more established academic writers in order to attract the interest of University librarians. Professor Richardson is now awaiting his chance to tell his side of the story, according to theGlobe and Mail. He is pleading puzzlement and offers a number of theories for what lies behind his situation: his problems really began a few years ago when Mellen Press surpassed the number of titles the University of Toronto has published; former employees are seeking revenge; or hisdismissal is the first in a University of Toronto plot to strip affiliated colleges of ’ their tenured staff.

“Biubgy is the study of Ilye, and as such, should deal with the living. ” Mayer, 1980
E
very term university students who are morally opposed to using animals as teaching alds in course laboratories are told that if they want to take the course and receive credit, they must participate. The University of Waterloo’s Biology Department has no such policy enforcing students to participate in the dissection of animals in undergraduate classes. However, it seems that due to the lack of an official policy, the decision rests on the individual professor responsible for the course. Traditionally, animal dissec-
tion has a been a key component in the teaching oflife science, anatomy and physiology courses in undergraduate classes. Dissection of animals in undergraduate biology classes can, it: is claimed, help students to learn about the internal structures of animals. Dissection, its supporters argue, also helps students to develop practical, manipulative and surgical skills. The first well-documented case of student protest occurred in Britain in I874 when a protest against the USC of dogs in an experimental demonstration created an uproar at the British Medical Association. Since that time the fight to stop or limit the destruction of animals in the name of education has been gathering momentum. The campaign for “violencefree science” is now strong in North

America. According to proponents of this campaign, dissection is cruel, unnecessary and, in light of alternatives, obsolete. A major concern is that the use of animals as teaching tools reinforces the idea that nonhuman animals are “things” that do not have a life of their own or do not have the ability to feel pain and fear. In many cases students are taught to ignore their compassionate instincts, and may be so disturbed by the ethical conflict that they decide not to pursue a career in science. People are concerned not only about what happens to the animals in supervised classes, but also the way they are treated and prepared before they even arrive in the classroom. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent an undercover investigator into the Carolina Biological Supply Company, a major supplier of animals in the US. The undercover investigator videotaped the gassing of up to 200 live cats at once. After the gassing, many were injected with formaldehyde while still alive. One veterinarian reacted to the footage stating, “The clenching of the jaws of the cats on injection of the embalming material is a clear reaction to pain.” Further controversy exists for close to 6 million animals animals used for dissection purposes each year. Though many laboratory animals are specially bred for that purpose, frog populations have dramatically decreased worldwide, in part due to their popularity as dissection animals. Furthermore, an
illegal trade in pet dogs and cats exists to provide biological supply companies with specimens. The main concern of people opposed to using animals as educational tools centres on two questions: Could alternatives achieve some or all of the benefits sought from experiments on animals? And, in the absence of alternatives, are the benefits themselves worth the suffering that might be caused to the animals used? For those not familiar with biology labs, here is a sampling of the first lab for Biology 470, Comparative Animal Physiology I offered here at Waterloo, entitled “The Care and Handling of Laboratory Rats”. The lab involves practicing various techniques of injecting the rats, and collecting blood and urine samples. The collection of blood involves severing the tip of the rats tail. The rat is under anaesthetic for these procedures, however the anaesthetic, given by injection, is administered by the students, many of which who have never used a needle on a living organism before. The comfort of the rat is questionable. Later, the rat is killed by inhalation of carbon dioxide. Interestingly, the rest of the labs for Biology 470 do not call upon the need to inject a rat in any way. In fact, for this Spring term, no blood was taken by students in any ofthe future labs. It is instances such as this that cause animal rights supporters to question the necessity of these experiments. Other universities in Canada have reacted to the increased sensi-

he University of Waterloo’s Student Alumni Association (SAA) has won a bid to host an international conference the weekend of February 24-26, 1995. Between 200 and 300 student delegates from nearly 50 universities from Ontario, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are expected to attend. These universities are members of the District II Student Alumni Association/Student Foundation (SAA/SF) Network, which serves as a communication link among s&dent alumni associations and several other institutional organizations throughout North America. This conference allows the student alumni associations of the District II area to get together once a year to share ideas about SAA programming. Ideas such as fundraising, membership recruitment, increasing school spirit and the implementation of new SAA programs are discussed. “Exploring New Horizons” is the theme of this year’s conference. This conference will give our southem neighbours the opportunity to explore a new horizon in Canada,
perhaps for the first time. The conference has only been held in Canada once before. In 199 I it was hosted by Queen’s University. Aside from hosting conferences, UW’s Student Alumni Association is actively involved on-campus in various activities during all three terms. They act as ambassadors to UW to fulfil the SAA mandate to link past, present and titure students. Some of the functions SAA members attend include Homecoming, Campus Day, Waterloo Weekend and Canada Day. They also coordinate the Final Exam Survival Kits for first and second year students and Alumni Lane for each year’s graduating class. There is going to be a lot of excitement in the SAA office in the upcoming months. All students are invited to come out and see what the SAA and the conference are all about. This is an excellent opportunity for students to get hands-on planning experience of a major conference and to meet many interesting students from Canada and the lLJeSeGet involved!

-tivity to animal rights by either using alternatives to animals such as models and computer simulations or providing students with the choice of not participating in animal dissections. At the University of New Brunswick, Saint John, microcomputer simulation has resulted in a 90 % reduction in the use of frogs used in Physiology courses. At the Fredericton campus,there has been a reduction in numbers of animals used in teaching. Studies using animals may no longer be conducted by undergraduate students at Carleton University, although postgraduate courses involving animals are offered. In the United States, nearly all medical schools allow students to choose not to participate in animal labs.ExcelIent alternatives tousing animals exist. These include films, models, and computerprograms that teach molecular structure, genetics, biochemistry of the immune system. Heart tin&ions can be studied with a Harvard Biometer replacing frog pithing, learning about human chromosomes can be done with human cells grown in tissue cultures. Because many of these alternatives can be reused, whereas an animal can be used only once, they will, after a few semesters, have paid for themselves. It is time for the University of Waterloo to develop a policy that is sensitive to the moral and ethical values of students. Alternatives need to be investigated to eliminate or lessen the number of animal lives sacrificed to science every term.

ON CAMPUS, OFF CAMPUS
by Tammy Gaber special to Imprint As a result of the increasing use of bicycles, on and off campus, the University Police and Parking Services felt that it would be prudent to outline the law as it applies to bicycles and to provide some guideline to the safe operation of a bicvcle. A bicycle falls under the delinition of a vehicle under Section 1 (39) of the Highway Traffic Act, and is therefore subject to its rules just like any other vehicle. The HTA is serious regarding the sections concerning bicycles; Section 190a.<l) of the Act states; a police officer who finds any person contravening any provisions of this Act or any Municipal by-lay relating to traffic while in charge of a bicycle may require that person to stop and to provide identification of himself or herself; (2) every person who is required to stop, by a-police officer
ext. 4911 888-4911
acting under Section (l), shall stop and identify himself or herself, (4) a police officer may arrest without warrant any person who does not comply with Subsection (2). Yes, this means failing to identify yourself when you have committed any contravention of the Act regarding bicycles is an arrestable offence. This past year there have been six accidents directly involving bicycles with one severe injury. An important thing to keep in mind is not to park your bike in any building. In the summer it isn’t as much a problem to fmd a sheltered place as it is in the winter, but any bikes found in buildings will be removed. If they are not claimed in 90 days the bikes will be turned over for the Bike Auction . While biking on campus you are expected to follow rules of common sense, courtesy and compliance to the guidclincs. The helmet law is expected by next fall, so get out all your protective gear.

crime
between November 1988 and March 1993 70 cases ofharassment were reported. The report notes, that several independent studies made at campuses across Canada including UW indicate that about 30% of female students experience sexual harassment on campus. The report goes on to say that it could be argued that the Sexual Harassment Policy at UW does not encourage the reporting of offenses. Other problems noted in the Status of Women Report are: Policy 33 provides little guidance regarding those who are harassed on Co-op work-tetms even though the Ontario government’s “Framework Regarding Prevent ion of Harassment and Discrimination in Ontario Universities” clearly indicates that incidents which take place “in the course of work or academic assignments/placements off campus” should be covered by the University’s policies. The Sexual Harassment Policy [procedures] at UW may.. .deter complainants from pursuing resolution after reporting.” the policy “lacks the ability to monitor cases.” “there is a perception on campus that supervisors/superiors are often reluctant to deal with complaints, and tend to ‘pass the buck’ or simply do nothing, especially if dealing with a complaint would put them in an ‘uncomfortable’ situation with a colleague.” The Report recommends (among other things): ‘the creation of a central registry for cases of sexual harassment (this would provide data as well as ensuring that repeat offenders would
be identifiable) ‘that there must be training provided for those who deal with harassment complaints. ‘the creation of a Sexual Harassment Office (consisting of one or more full time staff with an appropriate background) *that there should be a fulltime “Sexual Harassment Officer” at UW; this Officer should have investigative powers, as is the case at other Canadian universities. This position should be incorporated into Policy 33, and the Officer should report directly to the President of the University (as is the case, for example, at the University of Toronto) The Sexual Harassment Working Group (of which I am a part) supports the findings and recommendations of the Report on the Status of Women. Policy 33 is currently being reviewed. We feel that students need to be involved in the process of decision making at UW, especially in light of the degree to which we are impacted. That there is a problem should be obvious. It has been stated many times before. Now is the time for Waterloo to develop a proactive and innovative policy, instead of lagging behind. We should create the mooel for other organizations to follow. Students want to be invoived in the process -- it is only right that we be involved. Proactive participation is always more effective and constructive than after-the-fact critiques. We want your input! Drop by the Public Issues Board in the Federation of Students office or call X6305 for more information and meet times.

If this had happened to one person it’s one person too many. But, Debbie is not alone. Determining exact numbers of harassment survivors is difficult because so few people want to come forward. As well, there does not appear to be any thorough files kept on harassment complaints at UW. According to the Status of Women Report released in 1993

s many people know, I do nc call myself a feminist. Tt is toI disorderly a social movemer for me to claim a proper understandin, of it. I probably agree with some of it tenets, but I have a hard time believin; other parts of it. Basically, there are too many indi viduals who all call themselves feminist who disagree with one another, so I can’ really align myselfwith a movement if it own members can’t agree with how i should be defined. I am sure that there are many peopll in this same boat. There are some things however, that feminism could do to clea up this problem, and they have less to dc with hiring quotas and semantics, ant more to do with affecting hard changes Take, for example, the case of femi nist authorTaslimaNasreen, whose boo1 “Lajja” (Shame) has elicited screams fo the author’s head from fundamentaIists Her later comments that Islamic Shari; law be revised (at first it was reported tha she suggested the Koran be updated have been met with calls for fines, i strike and the death penalty. A warrant i: currently out for her arrest. It is all very well and fine to criticist the Bangladesh government for all of thi! - but that kind of posturing is obviousl; On the other hand a harder line tc take, but one which may in the end havti more productive results, is for those whc support Nasreen to confront Muslin groups and individuals on campus, ant, in the community, to see if this kind o fascism extends to Canada. Ifa group ofso-called feminists werr to see a man wearing a “All women arr cunts” T-shirt, the feminist would prob ably confront the T-shirt wearing buf foon and ask him to explain exactly wha he means. (If not actually rip the T-shir off his body.) 1s it not, then also the responsibility of those working for feminism to inves, tigate the religious groups that may o: may not contribute to a similar sort o oppression in a less overt way? Obviously, the Islamic faith has a: many different opinions amongst its fol, lowers as any other religion, and simpl; being a Muslim doesn’t mean you sup port these various futwahs, but this i! something that needs to be made clear. I am only singling out Muslims ir this specific case because it is recent anr. extreme. There are, I’m sure, some beau, tiful aspects to the religion, but one need: to focus on the blights of religion as well unless you wish to preach to the con, vex-ted. If you really want to change someone’s mind, you need to do it through discourse - - a technique as old as Socra tes. Of course, this means confrontin! actual individuals and there’s little T.V coverage involved. Rallies and meetings are great, bu nothing can top a serious examination o one’s ideas which only comes through : rather long process of deliberation. If, on the other hand, you don’t wan to step on any toes, and prefer to attacl faceless organizations, people 1ikL Nasreen will understand, I’m sure.

In search of Beautv P
erhaps I have seen too many beer commercials, but I am starting to wonder why everyone on TV looks like Luke Perry or Malibu Barbie. Isn’t physical appearance taken just a tad too seriously? Advertisers promote a very narrow definition of beauty. We are expected to be tall, slim and tanned. Women must have long, flowing hair and a “rosy hue.” Men need a good shave and a washboard stomach. Few people are born with all these traits so there are a myriad of products and gimmicks to help us achieve beauty. We spend time, money and energy playing the Beauty Game. If we fail, the ads give our self-esteem a good, kick (how dare our hips be too big or our arms too small!) People are ostracized if they disobey the laws of Looking Good. If only looking good wasn’t so complicated. If only I could use a computer to alter my appearance, the way the magazines do. If only I could afford plastic surgery like Michael Jackson, and tattoo make-up like Tammy Faye Baker. If only my hair would stay neat on a windy day, and my leg hair would take the hint and stop growing. If only I had the will power to starve myself the way the models do. But why should any woman want to inflict
that on herself’? I am human. I sweat. When I don’t sleep, I get circles under my eyes. At the start of spring, I have no tan so my legs are a brilliant white. Hair grows under my arms and on my legs. In a man I find these traits attractive; they show that he is alive and active. How can an active person be anything but beautiful? Are we to spend our lives removing hair that is determined to grow? Should we suffer a sunburn rather than display pale flesh? Must we colour our hair and paint our skin and starve ourselves in the name of Beauty? Sweat allows me to ride my bike and throw a frisbee without getting too hot. The circles under my eyes tell me when I am working too hard. As a pedestrian with pale legs, I am more visible than a pedestrian with

Centuries ago, pale skin and a hefty build were marks of beauty. In the last 40 years, the weight of successive Miss America pageant winners has decreased dramatically (the average weight of North American women has not decreased so much). Our ideas of beauty need not be rigid. If we broaden our capacity to see beauty, we won’t have to work so hard at looking good. We are beautiful because we are human; not because of the paint on our face or the statistically unlikely shape of our bodies. I am not suggesting that we abandon hygiene, burn our razors and break our mirrors. I do believe that we should learn to appreciate the shapes, smells and colours of our bodies in their unpolished forms. The Beauty Game is structured so that no-one can win.

The Sikh’s are alright To the
Editor,
I would like to comment on Glenn Fitzgerald’s letter to the editor on June 17i94.1 do agree with a lot of what Glenn had to say. My family is an active member of the Legion and it was interesting what they were telling me about some of the incidents occurring in their chapter of the Legion. Firstly they only had one Sikh who wanted a membership in their chapter, but couldn’t produce an ID number, he never fought in the war. The legion is a place for people who have fought in the war and their families. In hearing that the Sikhs wanted to storm the Legion it makes me wonder what they feel would be accomplished by that action except more anger and frustration on both sides. It also makes me wonder if some of the Legion members wanted to become members of the Sikh religion if that would be allowed or if they would have to wear headgear (ie. a turban) in order to get in. Now if that is considered being a bigot with the attitude that I have then I guess I am one. I just feel that if the Legion does agree to bring in Sikhs as members then it should be fair for all parties involved. If I want to come in wearing shorts and a T-shirt would I be allowed entry into their church or would I come across the same hassle as what is happening with the Legion? I know it’s not an issue of religion and some people may say that what I’m proposing and what the Sikhs are asking are two very different things, but I think the principIes aye the same. At any rate I feel that if all Legion members decided to storm the Sikh church you would find the same problem that the Legion is experiencing. Just something to think about. I think you would find that outside the University Community a lot of other people have the same opinion as 1 do, I guess we’re all considered bigots. - Samantha

Editor’s Note: It is not compulsory to wear a turban to be u member of the Sikh faith, but to enter a Sikh temple, une must cover one’s head with a silk handkerchief that ispro-

Another Brick in the To the
Editor,
It all started in November when I pre-registered for my winter term (‘94) classes. Having confirmed three of the courses I would take 1 added a fourth on November 13. That very same day a fee statement was issued for me for the three classes for which I had earlier enrolled. Assuming that the fee state-
ment was took went
1 received later in November accurate for four courses, I this along with me when I to pay my tuition fees in January. Because I was receiving some funding from OSAP, 1 authorized payment for my tuition by that means. As those of you who are OSAP recipients know, you have to negotiate this loan with your lending institution/bank prior to receiving the actual monies. After making a special trip home to my bank (you can only negotiate with your branch) I was informed that nothing could be done with my loan due to a dating error which had been made at the University. It seems the lady who filled out the loan document had mistakenly dated it “no longer negotiable” after January 3 1, 1995 (rather than January 3 1,1994.) Now I consider myself a fairly understanding and patient person, but I really had to wonder where the hell this woman had been for the past year?! After having dated at least five hundred other loan documents “January 3 1, 1994,” I wondered what freak of nature had prompted her to suddenly jump ahead an entire year! After returning to the University and standing in line for another 20 minutes, I was finally rewarded with the correct date for negotiation. I then made another trip home to try again. Wonder of wonders, everything seemed to go smoothly, and I naively assumed that my tuition woes were over. Not so. On March 19 I received a notice in the mail stating that I owed an additional $228.00 -- for that fourth course I added in November. This kind of pissed me off. Why, with the wonders of modem technology, did it take until March for financial services to disc-over this mistake? By March, what student has $228.00 to spare for tuition they thought they had paid for? So I set this bill aside and waited to see what would happen. Sure enough a second bill was waiting for me the next time I ventured home to the farm. This one, however came to $242.82, and included an interest charge of $3.42 and a service charge of $11.40. It was accompanied by a threatening little message that read as follows: AFTER THREE CUNSECUTIVE REQUESTS FOR PAYMENT OF THIS STATEMENT AMOUNT, ACCOUNTS ARE REVIEWED AND NORMALLY ASSIGNED TO A COLLECTION AGENCY. AVOID THIS ACTION AND ALSO PROTECT YOURCREDITRATING, REMIT OR ARRANGE PAYMENT WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS FROM STATEMENT DATE. I decided maybe it was time for a visit to financial services at Needles Hall. After a rough confrontation with one of the cashiers 1 was finally awarded a meeting with one Wayne Gadsby. I explained my situation to him, and although he claimed

the
$228.00 for the fourth course 1 had added, he agreed to drop the interest fee and service charge. Appeased, I paid the $228.00 and left
his of&e feeling broke, but tie at last.
Just a couple of weeks ago, when I returned to the farm for the weekend, 1 was greeted by yet another envelope bearing the U. W. Financial Services letterhead. Apprehensively 1 opened it to find the following message: DEAR STUDENT: IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTlON BY THE DEPARTMENT(S) NOTED BELOW THAT YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING DEBT AS ICNDICATED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO. TUITION (ON CAMPUS) FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFICE EXT. 3077 ACCORDING TO UNlVERSlTY POLICY WE ARE UNABLE TO RELEASE EXAMINATION REPORTS, ETC... UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ALL MONIES OWING TO THE UNIVERSITY HAVE BEEN PAID. No problem I thought, as I already had a pretty good idea of what most of my marks were anyway. Last weekend when 1 got home I found yet another letter. (Aside: you’re probably wondering why I keep getting my mail at home. The fact of the matter is 1 keep filling out the green address section on my schedule each year at registration, along with those little address cards s- to no avail.) This most recent letter is from my friends at Financial Services requesting the interest and service charge fees which, 1 understood, had been dropped close to a month ago. Back to see Wayne. This time he couldn’t cover up for their blunder and simply stated “ Yes, these charges should have been dropped; we’ll have to try again and see what happens.” What choice did 1 have but to agree? I’ll keep you posted. After having given this matter a considerable amount of thought, 1 came to a few conclusions. Back in the fall term (‘93), 1 went to the Dean of Science and arranged to take a reduced course load for my three remaining school terms. It was agreed that I would take four courses in each of the three terms. As you can well imagine there was a fair amount ofpaperwork involved with this transaction, and a nice bit of time invested in the effort. It therefore surprises me that 1 was so effortlessly billed (originally) for three courses rather than the four which we had agreedupon. It seems to me that the purpose of pre-registration isn’t so much to straighten things away as painlessly as possible (i.e. avoid standing in those long line-ups), but rather to get a hold of at least some portions of the
sign-up which was held in the Arts Lecture Hall. Afier filling out several forms I asked the presiding payroll rep if I would be paid at the end of the current month or if this would be deferred into the month of June. She assured me that my paycheque would be directly deposited to my account on May 27. Relieved, I set off to work. Only to be awakened two weeks later by a phone call from my advisor’ s secretary informing me that 1 am not on the payroll, and asking me if 1 attended the session. 1 tell her, “of course”. Unable to sleep any longer knowing that 1 may not even have enough money to the next month’s rent if 1 don’t get this payroll issue settled, 1 head off to the General Service Complex. There I am greeted by a menopausal (need I say more?) woman who informs me that since I am not, in fact, a graduate student, my forms were probably filed elsewhere - IF they were ever received. I humbly proceed to fill out the EXACT same fotms as 1 had two weeks earlier at “the session”, and take these directly over the Payroll Dept. Upon submitting these forms I ask the woman at the window if she knows whether I am still in time for the
May 27 paycheques. To which she retorts, “Well not likely! --The cheques were done up last night!“(May 19). After speaking with a second employee, I was assured that if I went to the cashier’s of-he at Needles Hall on the 27th I could pick up my paycheque there. Since 1 am a glutton for punishment, with a sincere faith in the human word, I obediently head off to Needles Hall on May 27. Much to my astonishment I find my cheque ready and waiting -- the most well-earned payment of my career to date. As I was grumbling about the services here at U.W. one day, it was drawn to my attention that many of the employees working in administrative positions are actually doing the work of two people because of the cutbacks. OK. I guess a few mistakes are understandable. But it seems my tuition bill just keeps increasing, while the services I’m receiving are sadly deteriorating. I guess nobody ever said life was fair, but this is ridiculous!

If it was of real concern how many courses a student takes, a fee statement for any less than the required number of courses would not be issued.

Manufacturing Consent: Political correctness and the mass media by Glenn Fitzgerald special to Imprint
T
hree decades ago Steinbeck commented in his novel East of Eden:
“By disparagement, by starvation, by repressions, forced direction, and the stunning hammerblows of conditioning, the free roving mind is being pursued, roped, blunted, drugged.” With these words, he seems to gaze into our century. Stripped of sophistry, cynicism and pretentiousness, it is a level and honest gaze. Steinbeck was famous for that. As our information industry becomes chained to the ambitions of a few men, Steinbeck’s nightmarebecomesourreality.The”free, roving” mind dies in a world where only certain thoughts can be expressed. The pressure for conformity may become too great for even the most
independent
mind
to resist.
An age of information fills the backgrounds of our lives with the hive’s steady and contented hum. With each passing year the hum grows louder. Voices that carry any dis&nction melt into the hum’s thoughtl&s and gentle currents. ’ Columnists (such as the Sun’s Barbara Amiel) shy away from dangerous topics and talk about fashion or Remembrance Day Parades. Through the unfolding of today’s news there is only one really import&t question. Will Democracy survive the twenty-first century? Canadians wake up to the shadow that hunts for their minds, only to nod off. The information age has brought a news monopoly to the hands of a few. In 1970, Senator Keith Davey first raised alarm with his Senate Committee investigation of the Mass Media. His findings strike a chill into anyone who suspectsthat Democracy is declining. The report states “that control of the mass media is passing into fewer hands, and that experts agree that this trend is likely to continue and perhaps accelerate.” Two decades later, the warnings become clearer. Ben Bagdikan’s book The Media Monopoly shocked the US with the claim that 14 major corporations own half of the newspaper business. In 1994, James Winter and Amir Hassanpour report that two corporations own 59% of all the newspapers in Canada. In the land of the “true, north, strong and free” their warnings would create &jor
ripples.

More dangerous than sabre-toothed tigers, they harness the power of persuasion. They can wear a benevolent face while destroying opposition with ruthless efficiency.

Their hopes and dreams must shrivel into clods of dust held aloft by the contempt of the winds. The shadow will follow them into their glitzy careers and mock their fancy delusions of individuality and selfimportance.

wodd cup ‘94
The by Tim Laslavic special to bprint
A
s this issue of Imprint hits the standsthe first round of the World Cup will be coming to an end. It’s been an eventful two weeks, to say the least. First of all let me start by describing the opening ceremonies. It all kicked off with Oprah Winfrey, the ceremony emcee, sprinting out on stage, tripping and falling to her knees. Not to be outdone, Diana Ross was supposed to kick a ball into a net that would collapse when it hit the mesh. She was kicking from the six yard line and missed the net. The ball went wide left, but the net collapsed anyway. As you can well imagine this brought about considerable laughter from the 63,117 fans in attendance at Soldier Field, Chicago. Also in attendance for this historic event were U.S. President Bill Clinton, who delivered the opening speech, German chancellor Helmut Kohl, and Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchei de Lozada. All in all the game itself was pretty boring, but nobody seemed to care -- it was the first World Cup game played on American soil and the fans were there to have fun. It was one big party with Bolivian and German fans having a great time watching history in the making. The Germans may have dominated play, but the Bolivians had the more spirited fans. Especially after the game when they filled the streets with song, dance, and flagwaving. Unlike in the past, this year’s tournament has not been marred by any violence or hooliganism. There have been a couple of reports of pickpocketing and the police have had to deal with ticket scalpers, but that’s as serious as it has become in

and
Que st Continues,.. the States.Everyone is having good clean fun, You can see Dutch fans clogging around in wooden shoes painted bright orange. Stadium vendors in Chicago are hawking hotdogs in Spanish and English. Swiss gather outside stadiums after their games and sing and dance around their flag. Brazilian followers sway to their samba and drum beats. Two weeks into the first World Cup played in the USA, organizers’ prayers are being answered: * Stadium tickets are being sold at 95.7% of ticket capacity. Who said that soccerwouldn’t go over well in the U.S.? * ABC estimated that 18 million watched the USA vs. Switzerland game in Pontiac -- outdoing its U.S. Open golf coverage. Overnight ratings reported for the soccer game were 5.8; while the golf achieved a rating of 5.2. Each full rating point represent 942 000 homes. * Goals are being scored at a rate of 2.4 per game, this is an improvement of the 2.2 average obtained four years ago in Italy. Amongst all this hoopla there have also been some controversies heating up in the last two weeks. The biggest issue that the players and tournament officials have had to deal with has been the scorching heat. In a game played in Orlando on the first Sunday of the tournament (between Belgium and Morocco) 160 people were reported as having collapsed from heat exhaustion, and organizers are expecting these numbers to rise. To alleviate this problem some venues have installed showers around the stadiums to cool off smoldering fans. Soccer’s “bad boy” Diego Maradona has even been quoted (by one of the American papers) as

saying that all the players should join together and boycott the day games and refuse to play in the extreme heat. There has also been a problem with inconsistent officiating in this year’s World Cup and FIFA seems to agree with me on this one. A prime example was the Italy vs. Norway match where the Italian goalie, Pagliuca, handled the ball outside the penalty area. He was given a red card and Ibly had to finish the game one man short. Anyone that saw that game will remember that Italian star Roberto Baggio exited the game to allow a substitute goalie for Italy. Techni-

tally the Italian goalie was at fault and the referee, Heinz Hellmut Krug of Germany, did make the right call. However, in another game between Holland and Belgium, Holland’s goalie, de Goej, handled the ball outside the penalty area and it was so blatantly obvious that you didn’t even need a replay to notice it, and guess what? No call. This type of garbage officiating hasbeen going on since the start of the tournament. This is obviously taking away from the game and as I mentioned earlier soccer’s governing body (FIFA) has also noticed some inconsistencies and as a result has stated that any official that is not performing up to world class standards will be released. Along with some of the controversies there have also been some notable games.Obviously the opening match between Germany and Bolivia (if not for its entertainment value, then for its historic impact) is one that will stand out in my mind. USA’s first win against Columbia was something that the entire planet was talking about. Who would have thought that the US. were capable of pulling one of the best upsets of the tournament, especially since Columbia was picked by many to challenge for the trophy. When you look back at it, basically the U.S. knocked Columbia out of the tournament and vastly improved their chances of advancing to the next round. This was suchla blow to the Colombians that their coach, Francisco Maturana, had publicly announced his retirement after the World Cup tournament. It’s been an awesome two weeks and it will only get better because now the pressure is really on. In the next round there will be
no second chance, you either win or you go to Western (pardon the pun). Since this article has been submitted for publication prior to the release of the final standings of the first round we haven’t been able to determine which teamswill advance to the second round. However, a guide on the next page has been made up to allow fans to chart all the teams that are partaking in the next round of the tournament, as well as chart their progress in subsequent playoff encounters. Stay tuned folks, it’s only going to get better!

Looking out your window, suppose you see a bird that you recognize as having a broken wing. You want to help it but, even after trying several different approaches to lead the bird to safety, it just doesn’t understand that you are actually trying to help. Finally, you are forced to surrender, only to watch the doomed bird from your window. . . . If only you could become a bird, just for a moment. That bird would be more likely to accept your loving heip. This perhaps explains, at least in part, why God came to earth. It was the only way He could get through. But this was only a small part of why God became a man. God came for many reasons, not the least of which was to fulfil the many prophecies concerning Him (eg. Isaiah 53). But Christ’s ~lfillment of many Old Testament prophecies isn’t the point of this article. Since God wants us to live a holy and righteous life, what better way to tell us how to do so than to actually show us the perfect life through His Son Jesus Christ? God wants us to love all people equally, regardless of social status, race, gender or even righteousness. Jesus was always the perfect example. Christ reached out and touched a leper in a society where lepers were considered outcasts,talked with a Samaritan woman even though Samaritans were typically discriminated against by the Jews, and forgave the sins of anyone who repented including adulterers and prostitutes asHe has “not come to call the righteous, but sinners” - Matthew 9: 13. Another great example Christ set was His selfless attitude in serving others. Jesuswas
given, by His Father, the power to do all things. How did Jesusreact? - with a great example of humility and servanthood: “Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing , and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel wrapped around him.” - John 13:3-X History’s greatest example of forgiveness came at a cross in Calvary. The crucifixion was Jesustelling us He forgave us so deeply that He would even die for our sins, offering us the gift of eternal life. Jesuseven forgave those who were torturing Him to death:” .*. there they crucified him, . .. Jesus said,” Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23 :33,34. This was the perfect example of loving His enemies and praying for those who persecuted Him, just as He taught us to do in Matthew 544. But the main reason God came to earth was to die. Jesus died so that we, His mere creation, might have eternal life. With the realization that we are indeed sinners and the acceptance of the price He paid for our sins, we can become a new creation in Christ. Our lives can be changed. Jesuswants to carry the burden of all those who will let Him. He wants to take our troubles and make them His instead: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

Historically, the concept ofhuman rights was not known - except in Islam - before the seventeenth century; and it was not until the end of the eighteenth century that the concept took on practical meaning in the American and French constitutions. In the middle of the present century, the “United Nations” made a declaration of Universal Human Rights. However, most of the times, this “Human Rights” term is usedjust for the sake of media work which accompanies oppressive political and military actions. On the contrary, human rights in Islam are those rights granted by Allah himself rather than man. No individual or constitution has the authority to withdraw any of them. The Qur’an teaches us, 1400 years ago, that every human being, regardless of his faith, gender, color, or race, has certain basic rights simply because he is a human being. To sample but some of these tights, without details: The Right To Life: “Do not kill a soul which Allah has made sacred except through the due process of law.” (6: I5 1) The Right To Freedom: Freedom from slavery: “ . . .against whom I myself be a plaintiff on the Day of Judgement. One is he who enslaves a free man, then sells him and eats this money” (Hadith). Freedoms of: Expression: “They enjoin what is proper and forbid what is improper*’ (9:71), Beliee “There should be no compulsion in religion” (2:256), ‘Do not argue with the people of the Book unless it is in the politest manner” (29:46), Protest againest tyranny: “Allah does not love evil talk in

Lately quite a few students have been asking me about what the Federation of Students is doing in the tiay of government lobbying+ Many of those who askedbelieved that because we don’t send busloads of students to Queen’s Park on a regular basis, that Waterloo is inactive on this front. Nothing could be less true. Your Federation of Students has a long-standing tradition of lobbying on your behalf. Of late, this has been accomplished through the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), through a Vote Education campaign organized for the last Federal Election, and through responses to government briefs and papers. OUSA is our main tool to bring forward your opinion. It is an organization representing students at Waterloo, Wilfred Laurier, Toronto, Western, Queen’s, and Brock. Through OUSA, the Federation of Students has been able to meet with the Minister of Education, and gain representation on government committees. While it is true OUSA does not engage in boisterous protests at Queen’s Park, there are good reasons for this. Protest marches are visible, and emotional, but they have seldom won concessions from the government in student aid. While it would be easy for OUSA to create the illusion of doing some-
public unless it is by someone who has been oppressed” (4: 148), .. . etc. The Right To A Basic Standard Of Life: “The Head of State is the guardian of him who has nobody to support him”, “Compulsory charity will be taken from their rich and given to those in need in the community.” (Sayings of the Prophet; “Had&“). The Right To Justice: “Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression” . (5 .3) Women Rights: “If any do deeds of righteousness - be they male or female - and have faith, they wiI1 enter heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them.” (4-124) Respect For The Chastity Of Women: “Do not approach (the bounds) of adultery” (17:32), and heavy punishment has been described for this crime. Equality Of Human Beings: “. . . nor the black man have any superiority over the white man. You are all the children of Adam, and Adam was created from clay.” (Hadith). Rights Of Enemies In War: In the “Hadi th”: “Do not kill any old person, any child or any woman”, “Do not attack a wounded person”, “‘No prisoner should be put to the sword”, “The Prophet has prohibited the believers from loot and plunder”, “The Prophet has prohibited us from mutilating the corpses of the enemies” . ..

thing by organizing marches and condemning whatever government happens to be in power, this would be unfair to you. Much more difftcult, OUSA enacts real changes to benefit students. These do not occur overnight, and are attained through persuasion and logic, rather emotion and volume. Instead of promising you the moon, your Federation of Students has helped form a pragmatic alliance of student governments working towards attainable goals. For example, while some provincial student organizations cling to zero-tuition demands, yet continually face the same tuition hikes as we do, OUSA has concentrated on making these expensesbearable for undergraduates through the creation of a more generous, restructured student aid program. Although OUSA is still less than two years old, the Ministry of Education has already conducted a pilot project on an aid program similar to OUSA’s proposal and continues to work on this project. Of course, the Federation of Students is conscious of the fact that many students may mistake a lack of loud complaints asa lack of action. For this reason, the Office of Academic Affairs is in the midst of preparing an OUSA information campaign, ensuring that you, the student are kept informed not only of OUSA goals, but also its progress.

or all we know, Saturday’s Sounds of Summer music festival could have been held in February, such was the “sum-
Waterloo Ret Complex. On the positive side though, the echo in there was only really noticeable if you walked past the middle of the floor and turned your head to one side. And of course the beer enclosure was nice and close to the stage, perfect for escaping the teenage throng on the floor (was it just me, or was I the only one who felt really ticking old this year; and I’m only 22!), while still being able to see the band. Whatever the case, this day needed some serious saving from some seriouslv entertaining band. Whk would it beu? Well. , it wasn’t going to be locals Turning Screws or The L&gfellows.

Cabaret. With a super arsenal of new material tucked firmly under their belts, Neil Osborne, Phil Comparelli, Brad Merritt and Matt Johnson came well prepared to rock the Waterloo Bandshell. Heavy guitar and punk attitude helled the energetic show. Osborne took time to dust ofF his collectionofvinyl and proudly presented his eclectic collection to the mass of fans for their perusal. Albums as diverse as Destrnver bv Kiss. %& Ne$on John; and Cheap Trick’s Live At Bud&n hit
The hillside was packed with onlookers as 54.40 crashed through many new songs from the new release Smilin ’ Buddha Cabaret. Joining such fashionable new songs as “Radio Luv Song” and the in-your-face “Punk Grass” were the classic hits like “Baby Ran”, “I Go Blind” and “One Day In Your Life”. “I Go Blind” started with the crackle of the record player once again. To the amazement of the crowd it was 54.40’s 1987 albumsitow ,Me on the turn table. The intro to “I Go Blind” started playing over the P.A. system which was shortly followed by the band breaking into a fine live version of the crowd pleaser, The majority of the songs were pulled from 54.40’s only two Sony Record releases, the current Smilin ’ Buddha Cabaret as well as 1992’s Dear Dear. 54.40 rocked through a plethora of fine new material. The first single “Blame Your Parents” received the largest crowd response but other new songs like “Lucv” and -_--“Assoholic” _ ~-_ ~~~~ _ had ~~~ _ the ~~ vouth--------, ful moshpit bouncing away. 54.40 then slowed the tempo down for the catchy new mellow number “Daisy”. An extra loud and raunchy version of “Beyond The Oueider” was tough on the ears but had the crowd surfers out in great numbers. Neil Osborne took time out between songs to draw attention to the glowing neon %\ sfnilin’ Rmkha Cah$ret sign at.tie.back of c . the stage. The neon sign (which is al”so found on the cover of the new album) managed to accompany 54.40 all the way from Vancouver. The Smilin’ Buddha Cabaret is aqtually a Vancouver bar where 54.40 played their first ever gig way back in 1980.~ The boys have sure come a long way since then. 54.40 cranked out superb versions of “Inside The Horn”, “Dear Dear” and “You Don’t Get Away (That Easy)“. Unfortunately the set was cut short after a turning up the energy level for “She La”. Apparently the song inspired the young crowd, which comprised the majority of the pit, to become more preparing

A Condemnation Depeche Mode Kingswood Music Theatre Monday, June 20

T
his show should have been called The Devotional Tour Part Two.
It was a scaled-
down version of their show last fall at the Sky Dome: the same videos (only smaller), the samegospel singers, and the same effort toward the use of real instruments in a couple of tunes. They played the same songs, but fewer of them. It was altogether a disappointing concert. There were two opening acts: Stabbing Westward and Primal Scream. Both of them were pretty good but who cared? Just about everyone was there to see Depeche Mode. Unfortunately this show was almost identical to their last gig in Toronto. One difference was the
absence of Andy Fletcher on keyboards. Each member of the foursome has his own area of concentration: Dave Gahan sings, Martin Gore writes and Alan Wilder is the technician of the group. Andy Fletcher has been more interested in the business aspect and thus he looked after the business end of this tour. Who was that guy filling in for Andy on keys? They didn’t introduce him but I heard a rumour that his name was Scott. Hell, to be honest I couldn’t really tell the difference anyway. I am actually a pretty die hard fan of Depeche Mode from a long way back, and it pains me to write so negatively about them. To be fair, it was a high energy show, as always. The capacity crowd ofsome 14,000 fans danced, chanted, and sang along enthusiastically. Depeche Mode fans must be among the most devoted in the world. The cheering of the audience was loud enough to drown out the P.A. system at times. They opened with the song
“Rush” and proceeded to play tunes drawn almost exclusively from their three most recent albums. The high point of the evening for me was a beautiful finky version of one of their old standards, “Everything Counts.” I guess the reason I felt let down is that I was so totally overwhelmed by both of the previous Mode concerts I attended. Their light shows and other visual effects are impressive to say the least and who can resist the dancing prowess of Dave Gahan? Depeche Mode blew me away at the CNE and at the Sky Dome. There was enough time between the Violator tour and the Devotional tour to make a huge difference in their sound and their presentation, and the addition of new material can also make a concert worthwhile.
Maybe this show would have been appreciated more by someone who had not seen the band before (especially on their last tour.) Personally I: should have saved myself the time and cash by staying home.

Opening the show was soloist Mark Perak. Accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, he attempted the rather difficult task of attracting a bar till of people’s attention with this setup. Seemingly undaunted though he played an entertaining set of soft pop, mixed with vocals inspired by his recent trip to the west coast. A calling card was his strong voice, singing songs in the same tradition as local favorite Scott Deneau. Check this upcoming talent; his indie tape can be found at HMV and Dr. Disc.

Lover to look like a city scape, Phil hung up his trench coat and fedora and proceeded to sit down at his drum kit and to beat out a complex rhythm for the adoring fans. Collins, who is renowned for his drumming, did not disappoint the crowd with a few splendid exhibitions of his technique strategically placed between such well known chart toppers as “You Can’t Hurry Love”, “Sussudio” and “Easy Lover”. The opening remarks of the show were met with thunderous applause, “Sit right back and relax, we’ll be here for a while”. With two full sets that clocked in at close to three hours, there was Phil Collins in abundance. Phil was careful to include all his hits which were also joined by a number of well crafted new songs. The crowd was quick to join in on a number of occasions as Collins crooned the catchy “Two Hearts” and the pop gem “Don’t Lose My Number”. The definite climax ofthe night came with a superb rendition of Collins signature song “In The Air Tonight”. The love songs “Separate Lives”, “Groovy Kind Of Love” and “Against All Odds” were also superbly done and had the crowd in awe. Phil was joined on stage by a group of six talented musicians for the majority of the night. A horn section also made a brief appearance for a few songs. Despite being proficient players and backing vocalists the show seemed too contrived. The slick performance and the excess number of musicians on stage detracted from the intimacy of the setting, if intimacy is at all possible at the SkyDome. There was plenty of great music but very little spontaneity on stage. Spontaneity or not, Phil Collins came through in spades for the crowd. Closing with standard, show-ending “Take Me Home”, Phi1 Collins casually donned his hat and coat and bid adieu, leaving the audience well satisfied.

Twelfth Night Festival until Nov. 13 by Richard Monette Brown staff
ender-bending, mistaken identity, and love polygons are common elements of theatrical farce; Shakespeare’s TweEfkh Nightuses all three expertly. The duo at the heart of the comedy’s plot is Viola and her identical twin brother Sebastian, who both survive a shipwreck without the other’s knowledge and land on the shores of Illyria, a most mysterious locale. There, Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario so that she can serve in the court of Duke Orsino. She falls in love with the Duke, but he prefers the Countess Olivia, who falls for Cesario when “he” comes to deliver messages from the Duke. Malvolio, Olivia’s attendant, falls for her, with the help of a love letter forged by Maria, Olivia’s maid. Much mirth ensues, and Shakespeare’s most mature comedy unfolds. Most of the acting in this year’s Stratford production, directed by first-year artistic director Richard Monette, is of the high but workmanlike quality one has come to expect from Stratford. You expect greatness from Stratford, and occasionally you get more than that: magic itself. This production finds moments of that transcendence; it is able to create a kingdom of Illyria that has substantial presence, helped by two main elements: the set design and Brian Bedford. Ttve//@z Night’s imaginary setting of Illyria allows designers a world of freedom in choosing styles

urt Vonnegut, one of Ameri ca’s foremost novelists this century, a self proclaimed hero of the second world war, and a 72-year-old smoker, gave a brief yet entertaining lesson in narrative and novel writing last Sunday in Stratford.

and colour of dress. Debra Hanson takes full advantage of this freedom with a lush, opulent mixture of brilliant and rich colours climaxing in huge, fuchsia flowers that bloom late in the play. From the green suits that ensure the confusion between Viola and Sebastian, to the yellow stockings that Malvolio dons to follow the forged correspondence to the letter, colour plays an essential role in creating the play’s mood. The clash of wardrobe styles emphasize the unlikely, fantastical qualities of this kingdom, with the Duke decorating in middle eastern gothic, while the Countess and her attendants take a much more European approach.

Bedford is supported ably by Stephen Ouimette as Sir Andrew Aguecheek and Lewis Gordon as Sir Toby Belch, comic occupiers of Olivia’s household. Lucy Peacock and Tim MacDonald do a energetic but controlled job of adopting the same mannerisms as the twins. Discovering Illyria’s exotic and ship-strewn coast is a wonder in itself; Twerfth Night’s colourful and rich design and Bedford’s enchanting clown turn this wonder into a lasting marvel.

his writing ability has drastically declined, or that he hasn’t written a good book in the last fifteen years,
Vonnegut simply says: it’s not my writing that’s deteriorating, it’s me. Yes, Kurt is edging closer to death and his talk last weekend acknowledged this. Vonnegut expounded on the basic narrative flows of all novels (for example: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back) which help readers recognise the good from the bad, noting that, in life, we can never really make that distinction. In dealing with the absurdity and indecency of life, Vonnegut has always strived to alleviate the pain through humour; his Stratford speech was no exception. He was serious in subject, but foundmostly comic situations to express them. In the last years of his life, Vonnegut will likely not publish anymore novels, will keep smoking, and does hope to get into heaven, if only so God will tell him what the good parts really were. The Stratford writers festival continues through the summer and includes Michael Undaatje, Timothy Findley, and Robertson Davies.

On the Inside, by Doug

special to Imprint n a simmering summer evening I happened upon an exhibit of UW fine arts 0 students and alumni, an independent “house” show on John Street in the heart of aid Waterloo. The stately old dwelling contained a couple of dozen or so works in various media. The date was Saturday June 18, and the name of the show was “Outside Looking In.” The highlights ofthe show (my apologies to the artists I’ve neglected) were the works of Catalano, Mann, Ouellette, and Varnava. Catalano’ s Spread involved light blue and green acrylics “spread” across a canvas to give the effect of an exploding daffodil. Much more interesting than this Gaugin/Matisse style piece was his Composition 1300 AD (Picture l), which featured an underlay of a gesturing monk taken from a Russian icon (itself taken from a Byzantine icon), in appropriately Byzantine colours (such as Obeisance Orange and Cruxifiction Brown), over-layed with splashed-on paint

Her Geramiam features, in charcoal on paper, entangled octopus arms, leopard’s tails, hair, and other more nondescript slithering things in what was probably the sexiest piece in the show.

I was really struck by the beauty of some of the scenes.One which comes to mind immediately is a scene by a lake where he first begins to bond with Michelle Pfeiffer. The whole movie is filled with lush images and great use of lighting.
The acting is marvellous and I’m not just talking about Jack. There are many believable characters in WoZf.I must give a nod to David Hyde Pierce (Fraser Crane’s little brother, GoNiles!) for his role. Canada’s own Kate Nelligan does well as Jack’s wife. Michelle Pfeiffer plays a credible heroine and Christopher PIummer puts in a good performance as her slimy father. James Spader is amazing; the exchange between him and Michelle Pfeiffer in the police station is absolutely eerie. I was totally ready to see a werewolf flick and be into it, and Wolf surpassed my expectations. The movie conveysa real sense of menace and mystery, working in interesting elements ofwerewolves which I could not have anticipated. I will admit that the way the ending is approached is kind of silly but it’ s good and it’s not what I was expecting.

“Mister we just want your car, ‘cause we’re taking a girl to the reservoir. All of the papers say it’s a tragedy.” --Jarvis Cocker, 1994 Something in Jarvis’s brain has told him that he actually was never meant for music. He actually was meant to be on the big silver screen, perhaps playing a romantic leading role across from Mary Pickford, or dancing at the top of the Waldorf Astoria with Ginger Rogers. His long lithe frame was always meant to be clothed by a Tuxedo with long tails. However, Jarvis instead has channelled this notion into making a record, the next in a long series of underrated Pulp long-players. fiis ‘n ’ Hers is in itself a mini-

Soulhat is a very cool band with lots of good guitars and funky tunes. Their music is excellent for hangin’ out and I really like it. Unfortunately I have no impression of their lyrics because they’re so low in the mix you might not even notice half the time that someone is actually singing. It’s like trying to have a decent conversation in a dance club with someone who retises to raise his voice, Hey, turn down the music so I can hear what this poor guy is trying to say!
I’m exaggerating--the level of the VOX comes up somewhat after the first few songs(al though they’re still far from being what I’d call “upfront”). Anyway I don’t suppose the words are the most impor-
tant feature of Soulhat’s music since they aren’t even included on the cover of the CD. The emphasis is on guitars and I shouldn’t complain because as it is Soulhat has a great sound. I just hope they’re not saying anything that would make me stop listening to them!

Many have heard of the state, but the band... Texas are actually from Scotland, but do have the sort of sound that one could associate with that southern state or with those studly men ZZ Top. This band has had considerably more success in England and Europe than on this side of the pond, but the single from their last album, “I Believe in You,” was in medium rotation on Much Music a couple of years ago. That album Mother’s Heaven, was a reasonably good pop album, sort of Everything But the Girl with some Memphis soul mixed in. Obviously the latter sound was very appealing to the band, as they’ve expanded on it with this, their third alburn.“I could seeus moving more toward country and gospel” lead singer Sharleen Spiteri comments, and she’s right. Recorded in Woodstock, in the same studio used by many a hippie over the years (Janis Joplin used the same piano played on this album), it has a certain...well, country and gospel feel. Hearing Glaswegians do this sort of sounds like the Commitments all over again, but without the same grittiness. Overall, the album isn’t offensively bad, but just rather bland. It was produced by Paul Fox, who also did the last 10 000 Maniacs album. In their case,the sheersongcrafi and lyrical talent of Natalie Merchant was enough to carry it off, but simply put Texas are just not talented enough to do the same and come up with a really good album. It’s nice in a sort of CarlySimon-meets-Janis-Jophn-withthe-Wild-Strawberries-thrown-in sort of way, but nothing earth-shattering. Buy it if you enjoy their older albums, but otherwise why bother?

You’re invited tojoumey through death and reincarnation on Peter Himmelman’s rock opera/album entitled “Skin”. The journey begins with a jazzy introduction of the hero, Ted. Ted is the epitome of the American dream; he is arrogant, wealthy and tanned. Ted learns the evil of his ways, dies and is reincarnated as a black child on the opposite side of the utopic world he once knew. Now that you know the story, add in some mellow guitar riffs and a Bob Dylan sound and you’ve got a feel for the record. The first three songs following the prelude are frantic, with an electronic sound
mixed with a heavy drum beat in the background. Then the tone shifts to a soRer acoustic tune called “Disposable Child”. This song discusses the feelings of worthlessness associated to poverty stricken black youth of America seen through the eyes of Ted’s newly reincarnated body. Next, add a romantic curve to this melodic journey. The tunes “With you”, “Shilo” and “Laugh rni beloved” recount our hero falling in love. The beat picks up again, asour hero regains his optimism and sense of hope. The moral of the story is that Ted seesthe ugliness associatedwith his former life in the American dream. Instead of being “blinded” by love, he gains perspective. Poor Ted suffers ti broken heart in tunes Ue “Easy to be broken, ” “The 5th of August” and “Nowhere else to go” all dealing with loneliness and romantic nostalgia. Great mellow tunes though.
