erhaps Dr. Bruce Chapman of the Australian National University summed it up best. On the first morning ofthe two day Income-Continge& Repayment Plan Symposium, he noted “fact of the matter is, govemments will do what they want.” How optimistic, realistic, or defeatist each of the three hundred plus delegates considered that statement to be determined theirphilosophical stance, and subsequently what issues they considered important. Organised by Queen’s Park, the symposium from September 22 to 23 involved speakers from across Canada and around the

ostcrs, legitimate advertis ing br unsightly trash? That is the debate plaguing the KW region right now. Kitchener and Waterloo city councillors are currently trying to find ways to curb what they view as a blemish on the face of their clean communities. The problem: coloutil advertisement posters placed on city hydro and lamp posts. “Posters on public posts are a problem for me,” stated Waterloo councilman John Summers. “We have a beautiful city, and it is kept in immaculate condition.” Those who support the right to poster point out that the hydro poles themselves can be considered unsightly to begin with. “That may be the case,” counters Summers, “but why make them a garbage dump?” Summers estimates that as much as 90-95 percent of the region’s population are “vehemently opposed” to these ad posters. He includes the KW student population in that number. “I hope and believe that when students come to this city they make it their city, be proud of it, and want to keep it clean,” professed Summers. Many councilpersons would like to ban posters from posts altogether. They are prevented

from doing so by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. When the city of Peterborough attempted to enact a bylaw prohibiting posters,the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that such a move wouId violate freedom of speech Emmanuel Patterson, Board of Entertainment chairperson, feels that the main problem is people who don’t take down their posters, or those who take them down but leave staples and bits of paper stuck in the posts.

Even the smallest puncture caused by a leftover staple could put a worker’s life at risk. To deal with the poster problem, the Waterloo City Engineering Department has issues a pa-

per with four possible solutions. The first proposal is to maintain the status quo, where posters are not restricted, and city maintenance crews go around from time to time removing them at a cost of about $5000 a year. The second, and most favoured, option is to regulate pclsters. Size, location, quantity and content of posters would be controlled. Staples or masking tape would be the only approved method of application. They could not be posted more than 2 weeks in advance ofthe event, and would have to be removed within 48 hours after the event. A permit fee or fines frjr violations might be considered. ’ Designated poster poles is the third possibility. This would see sleeves placed around certain posts. Posters could only be placed on these sleeves on the selected posts. Installationofthose sleeves would cost about $4500. Finally, Waterloo could opt to begin a city-run poster business. Someone wishing to erect a poster would approach the city. For a charge, the city would make the copies, erect and remove the posters. Kitchener will be Qealing wi th the sign issue at its October 3 Council Meeting. Waterloo will bring up the issue at a public meeting on October 5.

he Music Source’s days may well be numbered. Employees of the Music Source -- the on-campus music store run by the Federation of Students-are concerned that, when the new Student Centre opens, the Source will cease to exist as an independent entity. In the current space allocation plan fbr the Student Centre, the Music Source shares an approximate 1200 square foot space with the Post Office and the new Federation convenience store, Federation Vice President of Finance Christine Dewhurst believes that the Music Source will continue to exist in the new arrangement, but Sbpervisor Calvin Masson sees it differently. “The space is just not set aside,” argues Masson, “the Music Source is not a The Music priority (for the Federation)? , In the end, Masson believes, the Music Source will end up with a mere 100 square feet of space for

its wares. The music stock kept on hand will likely be small, limited to new releases and top-sellers. St& dents wishing to purchase other items will be order them through the Source, with an approximate

two days turnaround time for delivcry. Masson, however, feels that something will be lost. “It won’t have the selection, it won’t have

that music store flavour.” Both Dewhurst and Masson admit that the Music Source has not done well over the past years. Dewhurst blames local competition. “We just can’t compete with HMV,” she observed. Masson sees it as a question of awareness; the students just don’t know it exists. Recent initiatives taken by Federation Business Manager John Jongerius, such as putting Used Book Store consignment cheques in the Source, seem to have caused a dramatic improvement in business over the past month. As well, prices at the Source have gone down by about ten percent, while prices at HMV have gone up. According to Masson, the eventual merger of the Source with the ccmvenience store and post offtce should not affect employees, apart from requiring them to get some extra training. The move pours may even lead to an increase in the number of employees. Masson remains wary, however. “I’m still not pleased about it.”

or many years economic growth and the environmen 1, tal protection seemed mutually exclusive; one was bound to harm the other, and economic growth could only exist at great expense to the environment, in terms of waste disposal and exploitation of non-renewable resources. The economy was only healthy when the most people consumed the most they could. Slowly this view has been changing, and environmental degradation is not considered by most people as an acceptable way of creating jobs. People are also feeling that companiesshould be held responsible for the mcsscs theymake,andnotbeablc to exploit. resources, ecologic,al and human, and simply move on in an effort to “remain competitive.” However, what is the alternative? What can we do to prompt economic growth while not compromising our need to protect our resources? There is anew alternative called sustainable community economic development (SCED). The basic idea of this plan is that in each community throughout the country, various activists have begun programs to create jobs, which can not only replace those lost to the destructive national and multi-national corporations, but actually aid the environment. With this initiative of SCED, -F

communities are urged to become self sufficient by -becoming selfreliant. To do this there needs to be a greater level of cohesion between the people and the municipal govemments. Community members must create a forum where they can discuss concerns and needs, and try to reach consensus on how to meet these needs. The forums should try to reach an agreement without compromising their approach to the environment.

In the beginning, environmental protection and economic growth hated each other. Welcome to the nineties. Certain questions should be asked of each community: What products and services do we really need to Eulfil the needs of the community? Which ones could we do without? One important factor in determining whose responsibility the environment is that it must be remembered that everyone could be held accountable, since keeping the environment clean is in everybody’s best interest. Finally, at the end, the community should engage primarily inpro-

NEWS

duction-for-life activity, which goes back to idea of each community being to a large degree self sustainable and independent. Companies which aid the community, and the environment at the same time should be applauded, and rewarded with the benefit of a municipality “buy locally” campaign. Not only should we support local businesses with environmentally friendly practices, we should also create land trusts,? in order to ensure that they are not bought up by large corporations with factory farming in mind, and so those farmers working the land are not exploited. The municipality should also support those businesses which promote organitally grown food by perhaps only buying organitally grown food, so that, although the price may be _ a little bit higher, the food is assured to be clean, healthy, and damaging neither to humans nor to the environment. In these, and many other ways, we can promote the self-sufficikcy of individual communities, while at the same time lessening the power of the large corporations which harm the earth in which we live.

Celiac: be aware Canadian Celiac Association special to Imprint

it’h Thanksgiving festivi ties fast approaching, persons with celiac disease must be extra careful. The wonderful food they may be tempted to eat will cause diarrhea, bloating, cramps and anemia. If you just said to yourself, “I’ve never Iheard of celiac disease, what is it?” then the need for awareness is obviious. Celiac disease is a condition which affects the surface of the small intestine, where nutrients from the food we eat are absorbed by the body. In persons with celiac disease, the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged or completely destroyed by the indigestion of gluten, a substance found in cereal grains like wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Symptoms include chronic diarrhea, severe weight loss, anemia and extreme fatigue; and in children, stunted growth and delayed puberty. There is no cure for celiac disease. It can only be controlled by

strict adherence to a gluten-free diet. The elimination of gluten in one’s diet, however, also means elimination of one of the major food groups from Canada’s Food Guide. Even after avoiding obvious items such as breads, cereals, pastas, cakes and cookies, gluten can be a problem because it is also a hidden ingredient in many commercial foods. Contrary to previous perceptions, celiac: disease is not just a childhood disease. A person can be diagnosed ait any age, from infancy through to old age. One does not outgrow celiac disease. It is a lifelong condition. Approx imatel y 13,000 people in Canada could be suffering from celiac disease. Many of these are still waiting to be diagnosed. Growing awareness in the medical profession and the use of sophisticated tests suggest that the incidence of celiac disease may be even higher than reporte:d. In 1972 two Kitchener women, one with celiac disease and the other the mother of a child with celiac disease, founded the Canadian Celiac Association with fLnds from the Kaufman Foundation. The goals of this organisation are raising awareness ofceliac disease, encouraging medical research, advising manufacturers and distributors about gluten-free foods, and acting as an advocate for persons with cellac disei%e to other organisations and galvernment departments. October 2-8 has been designated National Celiac Awareness Week in Camada.

TheICLRsymposium:2 days,300+ delegates, lots o’hot air continued

from

of ICLR, and drew a direct correlation between ICLRs and tuition increases. Amid complaints that they “hijacked” the conference and “hogged” the microphones, CFS delegates persistently asked whether the federal government considered ICLRs as a method of student aid, or of funding universities. The Ontario Federation of Labour supports them in this view, along with various other student groups across the country and the provincial government of New Brunswick. The chair of the Student’s Union ofNova Scotia, Allison Young, spoke out strongly at a plenary discussion, suggesting that ICLRs shift the debt for university education corn the current “collective” ofpublit taxpayers to individuals. She admitted that ICLRs could be helpful as an aid to student tinding, under specific conditions, but claimed that it would most likely be used as a method of funding universities. The central concept of ICLRs, she continued, is that students with a university education are the main beneficiaries of it, and should therefore pay the most. Young called this an “absurd and narrow viewpoint,” and called on students and others to oppose ICLRs and force

the government to Aconsider the whole concept of what university education means to Canadians. Other student groups, most notably the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), support the concept of ICLRs, and deny that there is a direct link between tuition increases and reforms to student aid. Claiming that the majority of students favour some form of ICLRs, Mike Burns, executive director of OUSA, stated that supporting ICLRs is a matter of pragmatism. “I don’t see alternatives being presented,” he continued, calling philosophical discussions of ICLRs “procrastinating,” as the symposium was the time to be “discussing finer aspects of a [ICLR] plan.” Rick Martin, senior policy advisor for OUSA also condemned ICLR opponents, stating that they are “against improved student aid, period.” OUSA hopes to have a workable version of ICLR to present to the provincial government by October 4. Other delegates and speakers strongly supported ICLRs, including Dr. David Stager, an economics professor at the University of Toronto, Calling on ICLR opponents to “do something constructive,” he voiced hope for a large pilot project in Ontario to provide necessary data. Perhaps the strongest support

for ICLRs came from Dave Cooke, minister of Education and Training, in his opening remarks to the symposium. He stated that he strongly supports changes to the present student loan system, and favours ICLRs. To charges that ICLRs allow tuition to rise or decrease accesibility, he stated “let me be very clear -- those would not be acceptable outcomes.” He also directly referred to involvement by the federal govemment, and discounted Ontario implementing an ICLR plan on its own. ‘&To be a success,” he continued, “an ICLR plan would have to be a national plan.” Referring to recent media coverage noting the split between student groups on the issue of ICLRs, Steve Codrington, president of UW’s Federation of Students, was guardedly happy. “In some respects [the symposium] was a letdown,” he said, but noted some positive aspects. “We learned a bit more,” though “we were concerned that the CFS was going to muddy the waters” and prevent discussions from focusing exclusively on repayment options. He said he went expecting a “fight” over the issue, and to have to defend ICLRs. “I think that was accomplished,” he stated, adding that “egos have become involved” in the debate. “It’s sad but true,” he contin-

ued, claiming that both OUSA and the Canadian Federation of Students -- Ontario (CFS-0) largely disagree because of bitterness over their split. There appeared to be a large amount of disappointment over the question periods, mainly because of that split. By the end of the two days, a large number of government and business delegates simply left after the opening remarks, not wishing to hear an apparently endless stream of students. Codrington agreed that *‘the microphones were dominated by students,” and noted that he did not know how business leaders felt about ICLRs, simply because they did not voice their opinions at the symposium during those question periods. Also missing from the symposium was any form of definite model to discuss. Representatives from SPORTS INJURIES

both Australia andthe United States were on hand to discuss the ICLR programs recently introduced in those countries, and there were numerous references to studies done inNew Brunswick andNova Scotia, but very little was presented as an actual suggestion for a Canadian ICLR plan. Instead, delegates -- both pro and anti ICLR -- focused on the flaws and weaknesses of any ICLR model presented, especially how the various plans influenced student accessibility and tuition fees. Overall, the symposium “seemed much more a debate about fees than loans,” claimed Robin Banks afterwords. “The debates we got into [abou! basic ICLR concepts and issues] had to occur”eventually, he continued, but he was “somewhat disappointed” that the conference never really w “got - down to specifics.”

By all accounts, the week has been a success. “We at the newly formed Pan-Celtic Irish Students Association are pleased with the toumout here on International Clubs Day at Waterloo,” stated Mike Doran, a club representative, “I hope everyone finds their niche, as socializing at a university this size can be difficult.”

Here’s the schedule: Tuesday, Ott 4 - 1:OOpm - Dianne Roedding from the Waterloo Regional Health Unit will speak on “Lesbian Health Issues” in the Board Room at Fed Hall. This discussion will cover health issues, health care, AIDS/HIV, safer sex, sexuality, and lifestyle issues for lesbian women. Dianne has spoken

at the Womyn’s Centre on these topics before...but for those of you who have seen her, don’t let that stop you from attending! She will be bringing some new information with her. Wednesday, Rob Gascho

Donna Randal from Planned Parenthood will speak on “Communication and Healthy Sexuality” In the Board Room at Fed Hall. The focus of this discussion will be on relationships (regardless of sexual orientation), putting fim and ro-

I’ve been promised the “how to put a condom on your partner with your mouth” exercise. A must see, I’d say. Not recommended with lubricated ofcondoms with Nonoxynol-9...it makes the inside of your mouth go numb...bleh! All of the speakersare from the community and trained in AIDS Education. They have guaranteed me that all discussions will be fun, interesting, and educational. Bring an open mind and lots of questions. Again, all events are free of charge. It is also important to note that the Fed Hall Board Room is wheelchair accessible. Apart from the speakers,AIDS Awareness Week volunteers will be roaming around the campus providing students with lots of information, ideas, and free samples (condoms, lube, and dental da&!). Look out for them and don’t be shy! Despite its bad reputation, safer sex can be fun, easy, responsible, romantic, and terribly erotic. And now, on a totally different note...

Three months old, and already it’s making a fim The Report of the President’s Advismy Committee on the CentralAdministrutiveStructureat the University of wuterZuo, or “the O’SulIivan Report,” as it is commonly referred to, had the daunting task of reviewing the current administrative structure at UW last January, and suggesting ways to improve it. Chaired by Dr. J. O’Sullivan, the vicepresident, finance and administration of the University of New Brunswick in Fred&ton, the four member committee interviewed over a hundred people involved in UW adminstration. Their results oveMrhelmingly suggest that UW does not have a top-heavy structure. The exact opposite, in fact, with the largest number of duties concentrated in the office of vice-president academic, the smallest number of academic deans, and the least number of offices reporting to the president directly of the univerities surveyed. The greatest area of criticism in the report concerned the role of vice-president, academic and provost, currently held by Jim Kalbfleisch. The committee stated openly that Kalbfleisch’s role is too great for one person: “The responsibilities assigned to the office of vice-president, academic & provost are too heavy and complex for a single individual to carry out on a sustained basis.” “The majority of those [interviewed by

the committee] who volunteered an opinion. . . felt that the job [vice-president, academic and provost] as now structured is too large and should be split.” “The real risks of overloading the person of the vice-president, academic & provost could increase in the immediate future . . .” The report does note a number ofbenefits from the current structure, most notably the “direct access this [position] provides to a common administrative officer for both deans and associate provosts,” and the flexibility it provides. Despite the “risks” involved in “the concentration of responsibility” that Kalblfeisch has, the commitlee’s final recommendations do not include splitting the office up. “This [keeping the position, with modification] seems to us to outweigh the benefits” of creating separate positions. “The changes we propose are directed at minimising the risks involved.” And that, claims Steve Codrington, presi-

mmm

travel

dent of UW’s Federation of Students, is the primary problem with the O’Sullivan report. “Minimising the risks” is not the best way, just the easiest way, to improve UW’s administration, he claimed. He added that modifications are simply “ s e c o n d best,” and the result of the committee anticipating a poor reception to splitt i n g Kalbfleisch’s role. His criticism of the committee’s recommendations focused almost exclusively on the recommendations concerning the vicepresident academic, although there are sev&al other recommendation&hat could affect

students. Changes to the central administrative structure include moving “safety” from the jurisdiction of the associate provost, student affairs, to the university secretariat, a move Codrington called “surprising.” In a recent open letter, UW president James Downey referred to the “central question” raised by the committee, the splitting of Kalbfleisch’s job. With little comment, he accepted the committee’s recommendation to keep the position, with some modifications and increases in support. He did, however, reject the committee’s proposal to create a dean of undergraduate studies, preferring a new associate vice-president, academic. Perhaps most dramatic, Downey also decided to eliminate the position of associate provost, computing & information systems, redistributing the respon,sibilities among other positions. “Appointment of an advisor to the provost on academic computing will be deferred until the organization of computing services on campus hals been reviewed, a process which will commence this fall,” Also in accordance with the committee’s recommendations, Downey announced the establishment of an “external relations council” chaired by himself.

The Committee has a very broad mandate, It will not be doing simply a clause-byclause review of statements in policies, although its mandate requires that it examine Policy 33 (Ethical Behaviour), taking into account the jurisdiction, principlels and processes in Dther UW policies and procedures, namely: Policies 36,63,70 (staff, faculty and student grievances); Misconduct in Research (administrative guidelines); and. the Procedure for Dealing With Complaints of Sexual Harassmenf. The committee will meet regularly during the fall term, and is arranging to consult with those who have experience administering the various related policies and procedures. Other interested individuals and groups are invited to submit advice - preferably by the end of October - to any member of the Committee. E-mail submissions make distribution easy. Six open sessions have been arranged, on the following Tuesdays! and Thursdays September 27 & 29; October 4,6,11 & 13, The Committee encourages particular groups/ constituencies to attend on the following dates: September 27 undergraduate students; graduate students; September 29 October 4 faculty members; October 6 staff members (non-Union); Church College members; October 1 I a second session for undergraduate students. and October 13 All sessions will be held in AL1 13, from 12130 - 2:00 p.m. Anyone who wants ta schedule a “smaK$’ meeting is encouraged to do so - the earlier the better - through Emily Barnes, Committee Secretary. The Committee hopes to submit a preliminary repofl to the Provost by the end of the year.

1Ihe

considerable negative response to last week’s comic “The Parking Lot is Full” necessitates a response. To ease the students and staff who have registered a complaint with Imprint regarding the comic, I have taken two steps. The first is to procure an apology from the authors of the comic. This apology appears opposite this page. It should be noted here that vety little of Imprint should be seen as a reflection of me or of my opinions. I also recognize that as the editor-in-chief, the responsibility to accept criticisms of the paper rests on my shoulders. I extend the same apology to all members of the university community. It is clear that I made an error in judgement and shall exercise some more prudentjudgement in the future to ensure that material that appears in the paper falls within the University’s guides of sexual harassment and it’s code of ethics. I wish, however, to discuss the matter, and if my line of reasoning has been rendered “academic,” I will remind the reader that we are a university and academic discussion should hardly be considered out of place. The question raised by most of the complaints is why Imprint would publish such a cartoon. If the inclusion of the comic was merely to agitate, or raise controversy for controversies’ sake, Imprint would have no defence against charges of irresponsibility from the university community. I can assure the readers there was no such intent. The primary objective for Imprint as a whole, and for the Forum section especially, is to provide an outlet for student voices, and the resulting, necessary, conflict is guaranteed to cause debate, and in some cases offend. I was not unaware that there would be negative reaction to the work, however, the anticipation that a piece would offend an individual or a group is not always sufficient reason to invoke one’s editorial power and censor the work. To paraphrase.a guide on how to avoid offending people, the answer on such questions can be simple: never print anything that may be offensive to anyone. Such a simple remedy would almost certainly guarantee the newspaper k &in&on. Duting last week, the cartoon was discussed by various staff members, and as a result, various questions regarding free speech, the freed&m of the press, limits on such fi-eedom and the responsibilities to the university community were raised. It is the fact that these questions were raised that contributed to my decision to print the comic, in hopes that similar debate would arise at the university as a whole. I do not believe it naive to expect university students to be interested in such issues. (Seeing as the let&s to the editor opposite this page indulge in the usual finger pointing and name calling, I may rethink this position.) The university community lives in a privileged environment, the principle preoccupation of which should be to provide a forum for discussion and debate. The demarcated area of actions wherein one can examine the limits of free speech is far greater than is deemed permissable by society at large, and in this case that limit was seen as an to further debate on the aforementioned topics. The most consequential issue raise during staff discussions was the issue of free speech. When the issue is freedom, be it academic freedom or the freedom of the press, hypothetical discussion can guide one’s actions only so far. Imprint has the opportunity to push the envelope of discussion to a degree which could never be done at a mainstream newspaper. It is inherent in the idea of free speech to examine those ideas which fall on the border of what is deemed acceptable. This should not be done by provoking a reaction, but with a clear understanding of the issues at hand and a reasoned position in the ensuing debate. It may seem superfluous to invoke notions of free speech and academic freedomwhen the issue at hand is a tasteless cartoon, but trivial items are a starting point for arguments which necessarily lead to an examination of higher ideals. In my opinion, the comic was in no more or less bad taste than the countless Loreena Bobbit jokes which were the topic of discussion for several months all across North America this summer. I don’t believe that the comic was any more offensive than the insinuation by Jeff Zavitz that all men, secretly, hold within themselves the potential (and perhaps the desire) to rape women. (“The Monster Within”, Imprint, November 2&h, 1993.) Some may suggest that these comments are as offensive as the comic. It is a simple matter of fact that these two examples did not receive any criticism (nor did similar other cases). In fact Zavitz’ piece solicited a letter of praise. Imagine, then, these incidents in reversed roles. Imagine if Loreena Bobbit had been atfacked by her husband while she was asleep and had a part of her anatomy severed. Imagine if Zavitz had suggested that all women, secretly, hide within them the desire to be raped. The question is not whether or not these claims and comments are offensive to anyone, but rather why it makes a difference to the university which gender is denigrated. I am aware that the current university climate is hypersensitive towards issues of gender discrimination, however I would feel neglect in my duties as a member of the university community if I did not ask why discrimination against one gender is dealt with in a much different fashion than the other. Rest assured, I have not come away from this experience unchanged. This incident has accentuated the responsibility that I have to two masters; Imprint (and the responsibility to the freedom of speech that goes with a newspaper) and the university community. This incident has taught me that such responsibility should be taken seriously and that the limits on what one considers freedom should be clearly understood.

Blood, Sweat and the Politically Correct n the march from womb to pyre, the varying combinations of cycles that make up our lives are often marked by ‘signposts’, some more unusual than others. One such marker on my seven day subcycle is a bulge in the diaper-tumedkitchen-scrap pail. The first clue regarding the existence of this rhythm was actually a revelation that I had doing some math homework a couple of years ago. We were looking at functions at the time, and I was making a mental invent&y of different relationships around the house when it came to me quite by accident: the speed of my arm replacing the lid on the scrap pail was a function of the length of time elapsed since the last time the pail was emptied! In the beginning, this cycle was very irregular due to variations in diet and uncontrollable changes in temperatures. There also seemed to be a correlation between the very, very fast speeds of lid replacement and certain physiological changes such as simultaneous eye closure, throat constriction, and coughing bouts of short dilration. The incentive for this chore to become highly regularized was definitely there. Many of you are probably thinking, “big deal, a quick trot to the holey blue barrel, a couple shovels of soil, and its over”. Sorry -w those barrels fill up really fast that way, indeed too-fast. One step beyond keeping the paper, cans, and glass separate, I have found that the trimmings need to be sorted too. So now, the neighbours know it’s Friday because of certain sounds emanating from my garage. The most important thing to have for this ritual is a steady breeze (believe me, a holy spirit), and before the leftovers are interned to mother earth, I use lots of water for processing (the sloughed offjuice in the pail &on? be enough) and a bi t of electricity for the blender. I try to think about something else besides the consistency of the raw materials in hand:

“oh, it looks like we’ll be needing more garlic soon”; “ I thoz@t there were a lot of onions io.that sauce last monday”; “what a lovely sh;i’dle of blue!“‘; “hmmm... last Saturday’s dinner, hmmm.. . . its right on the tip of my tongue”. I always try to kee:p one hand clean for pushing buttons, pouring, and patting myself on the back. For a while there, when I wanted to be really bolid and daring, I would slip on a clean shirt before getting started; -only now the thrill is gone. I thought that maybe a silver bucket for transporting the one or two gallons of finished product to my three cubic metre, solid maple composters with attached rabbit penthutches might be nice. Maybe next year. Afier several yealrs of working these piles, I am finally turning this once nearbarren property into a fertile plot of land. Every subsequent summer the plant life is more and more lush. Life in abundance. This little knoll that I am building is too small for the long term kind of compost pile I need to process everything that grows here, so it looks like the property will have to go to someone willing to grow an ordinary yard. The pristine-looking, non-native lawns look okay but I really have to stop and wonder, when. 1 see the goop being sprayed on them, why slomeone would want a yard when they are not even willing to stoop over to pluck out a few dandelions by hand. And what about this new breed of non-militant environmentalist, happy knowing their cans will be recycled and eager only to wear tlhe latest politically correct, enviro-message t-shirt? I believe that it is time for both of these groups to roll up their sleeves and make some real changes aiound themselves.

To the Editor, I am very disturbed and surprised by the cartoon “The Parking Lot is Full” printed in the Imprint

of September 23, 1994. I thought that the University administration and the women on campus had made it sufficiently clear that advocating violence, even implied, against another person is neither acceptable nor funny. I thought the image of the boorish male who knew no other way of expressing himself than through force had gone the way of the dinosaurs. EquaIly troublesome is the positioning of this cartoon next to an invitation to attendrmprin tstaff meetings. Why would students feel comfortable contributing to a publication that indicates that using a chain saw on someone is a tiay of showing love for them? Surely the Imprint could use the privilege and right of freedom of speech to demonstrate a more humane attitude. - Pat Aplevich Depattment of French

To the Editor, This letter is in reaction to your comic with the caption “But honey! Love is SUPPOSED to hurt!” run in your vol. 17 number. 10 issue [Sept. 231. As a former student newspaper staff and editor, I find it hard to believe that a comic so blatantly insensitive could have been printed by your paper. In every paper I’ve worked for any content displaying this- degree of naivetk and ignorance of the issue of female sexual abuse would have been quickly discussedand rejected as totally inappropriate. To make it plain if it isn’t obvious, there are currently women at this university who have experienced or who are experiencing abusive relationships with frightening parallels to the one depicted by your comic. Though the “weapon” wielddd by the man may not be as grotesque as the “humorous” one depicted in your comic, the differences are often only a matter of degree. And, as unbelievable as it might sound, the rationalizaiion and justification of the male’s abusive tendencies quoted above is a very typical line delivered by abusive males in thousands of contexts. That this comic ran is likely symptomatic of a poor policy and review process during the production of your paper. I would suggest you take your own policy of not printing letters (or anything?) judged discriminatory on the basis of gender more seriously and that you arrange workshops on fighting misogyny in the production of your paper with the women’s centre

orwith other anti-sexual abuse organizations or contacts at the University. I wou1d also suggest a well thought out printed apology, - Matt Wood Grad MAES

Parking #3

Lot

To the Editot: I was appalled to find that the Sept. 23 issue off mprintpublished the cartoon (I use the term loosely) The Parking Lot is Full. The illustration was of a man knocking on a door brandishing a chainsaw/dildo with numerous spikes, points, and barbs (hardly a pleasurable looking device). The caption read, “But, honey. Love is SUPPOSED tu hurt!“. Apparently Couckuyt, Green, Lippert, Nesbitt, Spacek, & Winston believe that sex & violence is funny. Sex fused with violence is not funny -- it is a tool used by some men in an attempt to control women. It may be as overt as committing rape or as surreptitious as jokes and cartoons implying that it is acceptable and even fun to torture and humiliate women. This is more than “just a joke” or “all in good fun” -- it is the dehumanization of women. I am certain that if the cartoon implied that the recipient of torture was black at the hands of a Clansman, or a Jew cowering behind the door from a Nazi this would not be con-

sidered humorous (would it even have made it to the pages of Imprint?). Nor should it be funny when the sadist is a man attempting to inflict agony on a woman. Women are NOT masochistic or in need of male domination. The notion that torture and humiliation is entertaining encourages the relaxation of inhibitions against rape. Couckuyt, Green, Lippert, Nesbitt, Spacek, & Winston need to take responsibility for their role

in perpetuating the dehumanization of women. Rape, sexual abuse, and sexual assault will continue to be a reality until such people stop endorsing it. - Jennie Otmson 4g Psychology co-up

Tu the ed&w, I found it quite odd that the Sept. 23rd issue of Imprint would include the latest “The Parking Lot is Full” comic and the claim that the Imprint is the voice of reason on the same page. Surely the former is a contradiction of the latter. Parking Lot People: Since when is disgusting sexual imagery a substitute

for humour?

You

are sick. Just what exactly was the point of publishing that comic? Do you actually find that humorous? Are you guys a bunch of mal-adjusted grade nines submitting notebook doodles to the paper? Surely

with six of you toiling away to produce “The Parking Lot...” you could at least come up with something remotely intelligent. Mr. Atwal: Boy am I impressed with you as the new editor of Imprint. “The Parking Lot. . .” comic’s presence in the Sept. 23rd edition causes me to really question the judgment of the people who allowed you to take charge of the Imprint. Do you have the guts to print this? Kevin Miller - a voice of reason

An animal lover writes TO the Ed&w, Like I was there, going for a stroll in the Waterloo Park, trying to find the beties to decorate the Succah that I had built with my roommate in our backyard. I decided to take the creek up to Westmount and hang a left so that I could continue up where I saw some berry trees perfect. for decorating a Succah. I walked behind the firehal! up a hill. Barbed-wife lined the right hand side of the park all the way up to The Waterloo Recreation Centre (you know - the one that cost the city 27 million and then isn’t even long-course [pool], i.e. 50 metres, so that we could hold some swim meets there and attract some of that cash back where it belongs!) It was a typical Southern Ontario autumn day. I found different colors - it was great. Then I saw a furry animal attached to the barbedwire fence in a vertical position. I knew that it wasn’t withus anymore since beavers are nocturnal and wouldn’t be out that early in the afternoon. As I approached it, I saw that the barbed wire had caught it at the sternocleidomastoid: through the tongue, up through the palate. I rushed home and called CISCO. They told me that animals get killed that way all the time and who cares? Then I called the K-W Record. They did get back to me but said that I needed to write a letter to the editor first. I told them that the beaver’s carcass would deteriorate by then and that I needed to show their photographer where it was immediately. I ended up telling them I’d go elsewhere if they wouldn’t cover it. I went back to the Beaver the following day. Some men were doing some sort of cleanup-contracting near the scene. I asked them if they knew what was with the barbed wire fence. The City of Waterloo is making a second fire exit from the Waterloo Recreation Centre. Presently, there’s just the one exit coming off their parking lot off Father David Bauer Drive. This second fire exit will come off Westmount and follow the barbed wire fence. City of Waterloo: what would Father David Bauer think if he heard that it took this long to get rid of that fence? Why didn’t you make a fence out of

wood instead of barbed wire? This brings me to the main reason I’m writing this letter. Recently, I went to Toronto to visit some family there for the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashannah (the New Year.) The night before leav-

ing, I heard the news that Towser’s brother, T-Bear, got hit by a car in Bumaby, B.C. Towser, T-Bear, Paul and I went around Deer Lake in Bumaby almost every evening. Thus, the news hit me hard. I said “Kaddish” for my dear friend, TBear at my brother and sister-inlaw’s synagogue in Toronto, Qntario. Later that eveing, I was told off for this and also told that according to Jewish law we don’t say Kaddish for animals. So at dinner time, I sang a song for my 3 nephews and 1 niece dedicated to T-Bear and sung to the tune of Matti Caspi’s song in memory of his dog, Igloo. My brother and sister-in-law critisized this too. You’re either an animal liker or not. You either say Kaddish or you don’t. Kimbetiey

Democracy ^--is alright To the Editcot, Sandy Atwal’s Firing Line of September 23 was offensive and of a very poor quality. It contained, near the beginning, an unfair generalization of individuals all over the world as “mostly liars, all charlatans.. .assholes. . *mind-bendingly stupid” based only on the legitimate occupation they share @olitics) and later, of other individuals as “fucking morons” apparently because they are poor. As proof that politicians are evil, that voters are stupid (even the rich ones?), and that democracy is tied for last place among forms of government, the Editor in chief offers just one example: the case of Marion Barry. The fact that democracy and all of its participants are judged on the basis of this one case is not even the major flaw with Atwal’s arguement. The major flaw is the lack of proof given that Barry is a very poor choice of mayor. No information at all is included on the subject of Barry’s performance of his duties as mayor or of his expected performance of those duties if he is elected again (I do not possess this information: it is necessary to the column, not to my life>. Instead of more direct or relevant criticism, Barry’s drug addiction, his prison record, and his affinity for power are presented as proof of his incompetence. If these factors are so important in his lack of ability as mayor, why aren’t their many negative consequences listed? Even if Barry is the worst possible choice for mayor, his election would not prove that the voters are morons. It is clear that few people, regardless of their intelligence, would knowingly vote for bad government, so when the vote does not accurately reflect the conscience of

the voter, the voter has been inisled. It is not necessarily even the evil politician who deceives the voter, useful information being hard to come by in newspapers at all. Atwal wrongly supposes that even knowledgeable voters would be incapable of making a logical decision. There is littIe shame in being deceived, and since Atwal has obviously been deceived by media sensationalism into believing counterintuitive stereotypes, the Editor in chief should be able to sympathize. P.S. Democracy is not “a synonym for mob ru1e.” The Reform Party’s concept of direct democracy would be, if it were at all possible, but we in Canada enjoy a representative democracy. - Robert

The Night is not safe To the Editor, We have been taught not to yell. We have been conditioned to make the best of a situation, quietly, without being noticed. We have been forced to walk in fear -- but we have not learned the lesson of silence. The posters stating “Tal?e Back the Night” beckoned to our silence and encouraged us to throw off the blanket of fear that had been stuffed into our mouths. On Thursday, September 22 more than 600 local womyn, including myself, gathered at. Waterloo Park to participate in Waterloo’s tenth “Take Back the Night March.” Together, this diverse group of womyn marched along King Street to Speaker’s Corner, carrying banners and chanting. At first the blanket fluff still muffled my words, but as darkness tumbled onto the street we raised our voices in a united demand for safe streets and safe lives. As we marched together, side by side, we claimed our right as human beings to live without the violence that has invaded our lives for so long. At Speaker’s Corner we were inspired to care for each other, to care for ourselves enough to demand that violence against womyn comes to an end. At the coffee house after the march we were encouraged to share in each other’s expressions. . . . But after all this, when I was returning to the University I remembered that the night is not safe. Even though we have marched the violence still exists. We still live in a world where we can ciaim only bits of this freedom because too few have listened to our demands. The moments of the march, however, were not futile -- they gave a moment of freedom from fear and violence, a moment to express our concerns, a moment to experience the power that unity gives, and a moment to see the reality we want to create for our future.

n spite of the efforts of modern civilisa tion to become more enlightened, racism and bigotry thrive in newspapers that push contemporary stereo-types on an oil slick of words and images. Oil slick is an appropriate metaphor to describe the subtle word play that masquerades as the champion of social justice. Students need to be actively concerned with how bigotry is gaining a foot hold in the newspapers they buy from the boxes in front of the University and at Needles hall. If we believe one of the Kitchener-Waterloo Record’s regular columnists, all Christians filt into the category of repressive fundamentalists. I refer to T. Sher Singh and his New Currents column. His recent August 19 article, entitled “The timing isn’t good for Jesus’ return” wrapped bigotry in a masterpiece of verbal insinuation. According to Sin&, if you want to find out about Christianity, just ask a “fundamentalist.” You will find out that Christianity’s head honcho -- namely Jesus Christ -- is a bigot who will ask for only Christians when he returns and would never invite a Sikh to tea. Never mind the fact that Christians belong to hundreds of diverse sects that have quite different interpretations of Christ’s words and deeds. Who else but Singh would have the audacity to attack another’s sacred creed, brazenly and openly without any expression of regret? His views do not very well represent the Sikh community -- a community that is the most tolerant of any group in Canada. Unfortunately, a great many newspapers would retain him as a columnist. It is almost pathetically sad that Christ&s can be counted on to not fight back. Rev Gary Weber, who gently chided Singh for inaccurate views about Jesus, supplied one of the only criticisms of Singh’s offensive views. So much for the ugly stereo-type of intolerant and Fundamentalist Christians. In his most recent column, “Quebec news is same story all over again,” Singh presents

the stereo-type (stamped with the Record’s editorial and politically correct seal of approval) of white Europeans visiting oppression on their hapless minorities. Again, to decipher his meaning, you have to add up all the insinuations. According to Singh when a “privileged majority” such as white Europeans -- in this case Quebecers -- complain of bad treatment by the minority, well,they must be lying. Singh’s view is black and white: white Europeans oppress visible minorities. Again, seeming to consist of a verbal oil slick were the words of Erina Harris, a fourth year English Major at the University of Waterloo. Tn her Second Opinion column of September 2, she treated readers to her bigoted generalization that men can’t be trusted because they have been socialized to oppress women. I didn’t realize that all men (and women) are such pliable social puppets that they could be moulded according to precise designs. What an incredibly novel and polite way of rephrasing that ancient line that “men are beasts.” These kind of fashionable prejudices seem to continually slip by us from the graceful prose of modem feminists that inhabit our university’s English departments. Their bigoted and offensive attitudes find an easy forum in publications such as the Record. The message sent to us by some minority and feminist leaders rings loud and clear. Racism and bigotry is fine as long as its victims belong to politically sanctioned groups. T wonder where the assortment of “anti-racist” groups are while the changing fashion of racism hunts for new victims? Unfortunately, along with the rise of fashionable prejudices, the old prejudices have also enjoyed a resurgence. In publications such as the Toronto Sun, racism hasn’t needed a politically correct mask. This is a newspaper that has blown up the Ted Baylis affair, into a kind of public vendetta against anyone who happens to be Black and Jamaican. What this newspaper hasn’t dared say in

words it has said in graphic images -- centring out with bold pictures and borders the articles and features that point to Black Jamaicans as a source of crime and mayhem. In view of the fact, that the only Black Jamaicans I have known (and the number is many) were people of superior intellect and integrity, I find the peddling of this particular prejudice especially repulsive. Despite the obvious vitality in our press of traditional bigotry (with Blacks as its principle victim), it is the new and politically correct bigotry that presents the greatest danger. This is because the politically correct bigots wrap themselves in the garb of tolerance and brotherhood. Harris for example, surrounds her bigoted assertions about “men” with the rhetoric of psycho-babble, the kind of stuff you hear when social workers get together to discuss how our society can be guided toward utopia. These benevolent social engineers use the same call words “socialized” and “dominate” in their political strategies for obtaining a world free of oppressors and oppressed. Singh wraps his views in the mantle of anti-racist defender of the oppressed -- a very jazzy and chic position these days. Armed with the righteous fervour of true believers, the legions of politically correct unknowingly or knowingly spread ripples of intolerance. We can today begin to battle prejudice. Lets exercise more discriminating (appropriate word) taste when pausing to pick up a newspaper in front of the bus stop at South Campus or Needles Hall. If you know that certain newspapers provide a safe haven for bigots, don’t buy them. Your conscious decision not to reward these publications is probably the best you can do to prevent modem or not

SO modern

from

polluting

the

campus. If you don’t say no to bigotry, in whatever form it expresses itself, then’ your silence will speak on your behalf to future historians.

ost agree that “The Information Superhighwa.y,” first mentioned after the American election in 1992, has been the most overused term since then; Even respectable newspapers such as The Globe & Mail have succumbed to the hype by frequently including thie words “Information Superhighway, ” “Infobahn,” and the like in their headlines. One benefit of this cliched term is the wealth of metaphor thait it provides: one can be said to be “laying down the Information Superhighway,” or an editorial can say that “the Internet is an Information Superhighway with no traffic cops.” The opportunities are endless. While most realize the phrase is overused and cliched, they take its predictions by politicians and business leaders at face value. Sure, we’ll all be shopping, watching movies, banking, working, learning, and “virtually traveling” in front of our television sets at home. Hell, we might even watch TV too if we have the time; after all,, we’ll have about five hundred channels to c’hoose from. Is this sort of life really imminent? More importantly, do we really want this? Will an “Information Superhighway” turn us into a society of couch potatoes? When I go shopp,ing, I like to go out to the mall and browse around, speak to friends that I run into, watch and sometimes laugh at people. No level of technological sophistication - even one that lets one view or touch potential products in gorgeous colour on a TV - can fulfill this social need. As for those five hundred television channels: you didn’t think they would be free, did you? What about programming content? Most people would agree 1:hat the entertainment industry has great difficulty filling thirty or forty channels; putting worthwhile content into ten times that number would be quite a challenge. In short, few people would be willing to pay for hundreds of clhannels that they don’t have time to watch and are likely showing the same programmmg anyway. Electronic connections in every home will dramatically change how humans interact and what we do in front of the television set or whatever it evolves into. However, Canadians are unlikely to spend much more time in front of the set than the substantial amount that they already do. Furthermore, they will be unwilling to pay for services which they don’t use or benefit from. Since supply of electronic services will be big - five hundred channels big, before one adds the wealth of other services promised us - overcapacity is a likely result. Communications, cable, and telephone companies (which are currently high-fliers and responding to the hype with merger frenzy) will be hit hard as they discover that their survival ultimately boils down to consumers being willing to pay bills and buy product. There exists a staggering number of opportunities in the “Information Superhighway,” but watch your Newbridge, Rogers, QVC, and other stock closely. Bankruptcy will claim many. No amount of hype will have consumers paying for something they don’t need.

IMPRINT “Do they not consider the Qur’an (with care)? Had it been from other than ALLAH (GOD), they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.” [translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verse 4: 821

added: This leaves Christians in some difficulty. Now, back to our original point. When the Qur’an was revealed 14 centuries ago, It had no index. However, there are strong indicators that the Qur’an is organized in a very accurate way. Some of these indicators, only discovered after having a complete index of the Qur’an much later on, are:

by Sameh E. R&an special to Imprint Many Non-Muslims think that the Qur’an was arranged haphazardly by Prophet Muhammad’s companions, the long chapters first and the short ones last (see e.g. the Encyclopedia Britainica). In contrast, the Qur’an Itself states in many places that every word in It is put in place in a way that no human could do. It also says that each word is essential and is a sign of who Its Author is. Before examining which one of these claims is more believable, let us establish the following facts about the Qur’an. The only Speaker in the Qur’an is GOD Himself, not Muhammad nor anyone else. The Speaker guides the reader by encouraging her/him to think, reason, and decide for herjhimselfwhat makes sense to him/her. Very often in the Qur’an, the verses take the form of questions, e.g. [O humans, have you not considcrcd .. so and so ..?I, [have you seen . . such and such ..?I, [what do you say about this?], [given ..A.. will you still choose ..B..], and so on. Humans are simply directed to things that are around them. In addition, the Qur’an quotes and responds to Its critics. In an article about the Qur’an written in the new Catholic Encyclopedia, they said that: Although there are many theories (made by Non-Muslims) as to where the Qur’an comes from, today no sensible human believes in any ofthem. They

I - The word month is mentioned in the Qur’an 12 times. 2- The word day is mentioned 365 times. 3- Whenever the Qur’an says that something is like something else, both are mentioned the same number of times. The last point which I’d like to make in this article is directed to those who arc interested in investigating the Qur’an (or any Boo’k claimed to be inspired by GOD). What should be your methodology to have confidence in that Book? One way is to ask yourself: What would impress me if I read i t there? Every body knows something for sure (from her/his personal experience or from his/her studies). When you come up with something like that, then you turn to the Qur’an and see what It says about that item. Does It agree or not? You might be amazed by the results of your investigations. Sameh E.

Waterloo defeats last year’s Cup champions with 28-14 IEllrn Moser ImpriIlt sports

he Waterloo Warriors showed the defending Vanier Cup champion the Toronto Varsity Blues, and the rest of the league, that they are contenders after a convincing 28- 14 win Saturday. Waterloo* s record improves to 2-l as they travel to Hamilton tomorrow at 2 p.m. to face the McMaster Marauders. “McMaster is coming off a big loss to Western,” Coach Dave Knight stated in preparation for tomorrow’s game. “So they’ll be wanting to revenge that loss. Were going down there expecting a big game out of Mac.” McMaster was demolished by Western last Saturday, 56- 13, while Laurier crushed Guelph 39-7, and Windsor beat York 1% 15. “The changes that we’d like to see (for tomorrow’s game) are more of a balance in running and passing the ball. We didn’t run the ball very well Saturday, and I would like to see less penalties,” Knight said. He was also concerned with the 10 penalties that the Warriors had against Toronto that cost them 100 yards. A 2-l record gives the Warriors an excellent chance at making the playoffs for the first time in two years. “We think we have a good shot,” said Knight. “Before, we were in the back seat and now we feel that we have moved up to the front seat. We’re stiI1 not in the driver’s seat of course, but at least we’re in the front seat.” Waterloo was at least test driving as they dominated last Saturday’s game, passing for 246 yards and rushing for another 124. The defense initiated Toronto freshman quarterback Cameron Lee, a fill in for the injured Mario Sturino, by intercepting four of his passes.

Mike Mallet, who went down earlier in the week with an infected leg, played the game despite some pain. “Its kinda hard to keep me out.” Mallet said, “It’s like trying to keep a kid out of a candy store.” Despite the injury, Mallet ran tough car-

injury. “It was on the first p1a.y of the game. My ankle got caught. When I was running I didn’t feel it but then when I got off in between plays, I couldn’t put any pressure at all on it. I hate to miss one like this,“’ Son said after the win. “It was such a good game.” Both Mallot and Son are expected to play in tomorrow’s game against MC Master. Gord Fawcett had a brilliant game catching four passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns. The longest being an unbelievable 55 yard run. Steve Bennet continued to sunprise the opposition as he completed 11 of 20 passes for 246 yards and three touchdown. Bennet has definitely become an accomplished passer and a force to be reckon with. Opponents can no longer assume that Waterloo is a team that only runs the ball. On defense, Corey Delaney played another fantastic game, snatching two interceptions for 19 yards. Andy Allen and Ryan Kirk each had an interception as well. On special teams Bra.d Stevenson had a good day punting, nailing the ball eight times for 258 yards, for an average of 32.3 yards. David Richer led Toronto in rushing with 118 yards. Francis Etienne: was Toronto’s top receiver with 65 yards, and also added an amazing 95 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Cameron Lee finished the day connecting on 15 of 28 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. The only disappointment for Waterloo on Saturday was its fan support. Only 1200 people showed up for the game including the players, press and stadiurn staff, After years of hard work to put together a high calibre football team, the students at this university need to show more support for the Warriors. The team is a contender! Come out and enjoy the excitement as the Warriors fight for the wheel in their drive to the championship.

Athena field Gregorie and Dilabaugh hockey’team slash excellent in early races into CIAU top ten by Thomas Behe Impriut sports

ason Gregoire began the 1994 CIAU cross country season with a bang, pat ing himself to a pair of excellent re-

suits.

Gregoire picked up from where he left last year by winning the Ottawa Invitational Cross country meet in a time of 27:32. The whole Waterloo Warrior team placed second, and showed the rest of the OUAA the talent it has to offer. Gregoire then placed fifth a few days later at the Western

Invitational

cross coun-

try meet held in London Ontario. The Westem meet had several teams from the U.S. competing, including the powerhouse University of Michig%n Wolverines* The Warrior’s CIAU Bronze medal winner at last year’ s track and field champi-

onships looks to be on a high heading into the bulk of the cross country season, and hopes to _ peak at this year’s Canadian finals. The Athena’s Sarah Dillabaugh was also very impressive in the two meets, as she placed sixth in Ottawa and 10th at the Western meet. She helped her team place second in Ottawa, only two points behind the University of Toronto. The Athenas placed 12th in London despite missing Judith Leroy and Sherry Carter, two of Waterloo’s top runners. Both are expected to be back for the next few events. Cheryl Turner, ‘Tracy Tremble, Sarah Thompson, Lise Guevremont, Denise Thody and Cindy Koo rounded out the Athena squad. Brett KIltie, Paul Sudlow, Paul Godkin, Gary Pluim, Jeff Irwin, Arpad Josza, Pjhil Dempsey and Daren Roux ran for the Warrior team. The next race is at Queen’s tommorow.

The six points brings the team’s record to 4-2, and earned them a tenth place ranking in the CLAU TOP TEN polls. The Athenas are back on the road this weekend with matches against York University and Carleton. The Athenas were decisive victors, scoring a total of ten goals over three matches. Friday’s

With a shutout on the line against Carleton, goalkeeper Yolanda Lewczuk saved a penalty stroke and kept her perfect weekend in tact. Goal scorers for Waterloo were Sara Creighton with 2, both from penalty comers and a brillliant field goal from fifth year player Leanne Dietrich.

Rugby

Warriors trounce 81 points in two

up by Mark Imprint

Imprint,

Morrison sports

he word of the day was tries, and there were certainly enough to go around. The Warriors rugby team totally dominated the men from Trent rugby, scoring between varsity and junior a combined 13 tries and amassing an awesome 81 points. Trent managed only 10 points. The varsity Warriors opened the scoring in their game just 8 minutes in. Rookie Nathan Rowbottom got his first of two tries on the day driving over from 5 metres out, after supporting a good rolling play by Anthony Beaty and Shawn Johnstone. Jason Pither added the two point conversion, making the score 7-0. Waterloo continued their assault with a well executed “sunburst” after winning a clean ball from a lineout. Centre Mike Rourke finished up the play with his first of two tries that went unconverted, bringing the score to 12-o. Rourke got his second try at the end of a play that started with a run to the blind side off the strum. The resulting run went four phases that involved support from both forwards and backs and ended up with Rourke taking credit for the score. The convert was good and the score was 19-O. Veteran winger Josh Windsor, also a member of the two try club for this game, scored his first try, a good maul that was well supported by flanker Mackenzie Jaines, that created an overlap that allowed Windsor to score. An attempted trip by a Trent player as Windsor crossed the line, resulted in a penalty that gave Pither an easy conversion attempt from directly in front of the posts, making the score 26-O. Windsor added his second score in the corner of the end zone, aAer some hard running by the Warrior backs. The difficult kick that resulted, missed the mark and the score only went to 3 1-O. Rowbottom closed out the scoring with his second try that also went unconverted,

making the final score a dominating 36-O in favour of the varsity Warriors. The junior varsity Warriors played as equally a dominating game as their varsity counterparts. The scoring was plentiful and concentrated largely on a second year winger named Jeff Naylor. Through the course of the game, Naylor scored 5 tries, but not without some excellent support from both forwards and backs.

Naylor opened the scoring only 5 minutes into the game, with what would come to be a characteristic finishing run down his wing after the ball being worked out to him through the backs. Fly-half Steve Goodacre was able to convert the try making the score 7-O. Some fast hands through the backs opened up Pete Homenuck for a score that Goodacre was able to convert, taking our score to 14-O.

Naylor went for his second run down the wing and scored a try that Goodacre, who kicked well on this day, was able to convert, upping the score to 2 1-O. Centre Jonathon Haley finished a well supported play that Goodacre converted for a Warrior half time score of28 points. Trent scored their first points of the day just before the half on a penalty kick that gave them 3 points going into t’he second half. The rest of the Waterloo scoring was credited to Naylor who scored twice, back to back, with runs down his wing, much like his two first half tries, only one (ofwhich Gaodacre was able to convert. The Trent JV’s were able to accomplish something that their varsity counterparts were not and that is score a try. A missed pass by the Waterloo forwards opened a gap that Trent was able to go through, scoring a converted try, Fortunately, the Warriors were able to come tight back and send Naylor over for his last of 5 tries, that went in the unconverted colurnTl. That closed out the scoring, making the final tally an astronomical 45- 10. The Warriors will attempt to ride the crest oftheir initial success through the rest of this season and into the OUAA playoffs. The rugby that we have seen so far confirms expectations that at the beginning of the season saw a team rich with talent. The domination by the JV’s of both their games has shown an excellent group of players that are keeping varsity team members looking over their shoulders and the consistent play of the varsity team is keeping the Junior Varsity team working hard. The Columbia fields are ready to explode with rugby action as the Warriors schedule brings them home for the next two weekends, to take on the Brock Badgers, who could prove to be the toughest competition this year. U of T will be the opponent on the following weekend, a game that the Warriors will be hungry to win, as it will give them a sweep of the East division.

Showdown in two weeks: K-W media needs notice football Wdors to

And not to my surprise, there’s a huge intro-feature story on the latest Hawks game. “The passing game was outstanding, the running game was unprecedented, the defence was solid, the kicking game was perfect, blah, blah, blah.” Same thing in the local newspaper. Nice big pictures of the Hawk players with football floating softly in the air, or else the giant golden hawk spread across the front page. Big interviews with all the boys. Guys, give it a rest. There are a few

by T.J.Behe Sports Editor

As the local media goes ape over the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks’ successthus far in the CIAU football season,it’s basically their loss for not noticing the power-house squad just a little down the road. Every time I sit down to wolf on some dinner-time eats,I turn on the television, and of course it’s set on the local channel and its infamous sports broadcast.

Waterloo students out there. (Try 20,000 or so, which is four times the number of golden birdies) With all due respect, the Golden Hawks do have a good football team as their ranking and undefeated record shows. But consider this. Waterloo just finished beating the crap out of last year’s CIAU champions, the University of Toronto Blues. The score was 2% 14, but Waterloo dominated the entire game. The defensive line gave the Toronto runningbacks nowhere to run, and the secondary picked off a bunch of passesfloated up by their QB. Offensively, Mike Mallot showed why the OUAA First Team All-Star spent the first half of the summer at the Ottawa Rough Rider’s training camp trampling CFL defensive linebackers. He leads the OUAA in rushing yards after three games. Quarterback SteveBennet threw for three more touchdowns on Saturday, and is among the best passers in the CIAU. With the Golden Hawks at 3-0, according to the media, the Warriors seem so far behind their talented rivals. Unfortunately, they couldn’t be more wrong. If you examine both team’s remaining schedule, things are practically dead even.

Laurier plays a pow&u1 Western squad tomorrow, and the Mustangs look the better team. Last week’s domination over McMaster make the Mustangs the team to beat. If Laurier losses tomorrow, and wins their next game, they will be 4-l when they return to Waterloo to play the showdown game against the Warriors. Waterloo, at 21, play their next two games against MacMaster and Guelph,, both victories in all likelihood. That means a 4- 1 match-up for secondplace in the OUAA prov ided Western keeps on winning. Much closer than first thought. After thematch-up, the two teams would have one game each, as Laurier would play host to the Windsor Lancers and Waterloo would travel to York to take on the Yeomen The local media should try opening the sports with a big fat story on the most improved team in Ontario, that being the Waterloo Warriors. They should at least take some time to get to know the Warriors because if they “upset” the Golden Halwks in two weeks, they are going to have to know the player’s names for post-game interviews, and we don’t want to look silly now, do we?

The University of Waterloo and McGinnis Front Row Sports Bar and Grill are proud to announce that Gory Delaney is this week’s male Athlete of the Week. Cory had an outstanding game against the defending National Champions, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues. The Warriors defeated the Blues last Saturday 28-14 at Seagram Stadium. Cory intercepted the Blues quarterback twice during the game, making hiln the Warrior’s All-time leader in number of career interceptions (15) Cory also leads the CIAU in number of interceptions this season. Cory has been an OUAA All-star in each of his three past seasons as a Warrior, and he continues to be strong leader. The Warriors will play at MacMaster on Saturday afternoon. Kick-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. A victory would put the Warriors at 3-l and tied for second place.

The Western meet is considered one of the premier cross country meets attracting entrants from all of the top Ontario schools and a number of strong U.S. universities including Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan and Yale. Sara’s tenth place finish in a field of over 100 proved she is ready to compete with the best and help the Athenas this season.

wants to win - really

become vital to the team’s success. This season, the team has done very well, andMaIlot hopes they can go farther than they did last year. “As opposed to other years we have the talent but we still haven’t used the talent to its fullest, I think we can be a very good team and do really well in this league, but first we must accept that we are good enough to be competitive in this league.” Mallot’s 2 19 yards rushing and three touchdowns in only the first three games, have definitely helped the team to its excellent 2-l start. The one area Mallot would like imprctved is Waterloo’s fan support. “I think this University has not accepted the fact that Waterloo is an up and coming football team. You know five or six years ago when they hadn’t won a game, I think the student body has still not accepted that we are a good team. Fans do play a part in the game. Western had 5ooO-7000 fans and they make an impact. The student body has yet to realize that Waterloo football is a force to be reckoned with!” As for the future, Mallot’s plans are still up in the air. “After this season, I’m going to analyze things and take it from there athletically and academically. At the end of this year I’ll be closer to my degree and then it will be a decision of where I want to take my career.” The University of Waterloo coach hopes Mallot will stay for his last year, but realizes that at the end of the season, the talented star will have many doors open tct him. This season may be Mallot’s last with the black and gold, so come out and show him how much he has meant to Warrior football.

Moser Sports

arrior football is very thankful to the relative who first encouraged Mike Mallot to get involved in football. “1 played rugby since grade nine, but it wasn’t until grade 11 when my uncle asked me, ‘why don’t you come out for football’ (that I started). After that year, I just fell in love with the game,” says Mallot who is having his best season since joining the Warriors. Since those early days of playing at J.F. Ross in Guelph, the six foot, 210 pound Mallot has matured into an outstanding running back. Last season, Mallot rushed for 852 yards, second best in Canada, and earning him an All-Canadian award. “Being an athlete, you like being rewarded with things. I can’t say I didn’t like it, but I wish it would have come in a different situation (the team making the playoffs).” Mike was also rewarded this year by being drafted by the Ottawa Roughriders of the CFL. He attended their training camp this summer, and though he got cut from the final roster, he says it was a rewarding experience. “It was an unbelievable experience. The talent there is phenomenal. I think I was in a situation where I played with some of the best athletes in the world. I took the experience for what it was worth and unfortunately I didn’t make it. But hopefully, I’ll have another opportunity next year, and see what happens .” In his fourth year with Waterloo, Mallot’s role as aleader

tablishing their own record label (Murderecords) and drawing attention to the Maritimes for fast mov*ing intelligent rock, Sloan have persevered to rock to the top and brought their friends with them. Jale, Eric’s Trip, Thrush Hermit, Superfriendz, and Hardship Post are all bands sharing the spotlight that Sloan have almost singlehandedly attracted. And now with their latest release Twice Remuved, their songs have been cramming the airwaves and fans are crowding nightclubs to see a good Canadian band make some noise. The Volcano played host last week, inviting Sloan to their club that features a P.A. system cranked up beyond normal listening levels, impossible sightlines for very few people to get a decent look at the band performing, and technical difficulties inserting high pitched squeals and feedback that make one’s ear bleed. Otherwise Sloan put on an incredible live show that satisfied even those who’ve so far

to be ir npressed by Remover d. What is so at tractive about seeing a Sloan sh ow is the fact that you’re going to see a band that has made it as a band. Unlike most groups both old and new, popularity revolves around one or two members with a gimmick. Sloan is a band that backs each other up rather than backing one member. Each sings lead on different songs, including drummer Andrew Scott who left ~ his drum kit to sing two of his songs for the three song encore: the othCoax me with ers iill in the rest. This cohesion, the lack of rivalry, and their musicianship is what makes Sloan so successful and

umaceface has been changing the face of the Canadian alternative music scene since their first release “Let It Down” in 1990. With constant touring and the addition of Marty Jones on keyboards in September of the same year, Furnaceface has so far left an undeniable mark on Canadian music. The band last created waves in 1993 with their single “Nobody to Vote For,” a lament on the sad state of the candidates in the federal election. This comentary landed them a spot on “Friday Night With Ralph Benmurgui,” blasting them into the living rooms of ordinary, respectable Canadians. It will come as no surprise to anyone who saw them on “Friday Night” or who has seen them in concert that their quirky and manic stage presence makes them one of the more amusing live acts around. Their use of unusual costumes and silly special effects make their shows interesting visual displays. Their recent show at the Vol-

cano was Lo exception. In spite of their transformation on stage, they maintained a down-toearth attitude until minutes before they went on, even playing pool and selling tshirts while the opening band was finishing up their set. I found the whole atmosphere reminicent of a small-town, highschool garage band concert. Appearing on stage in a set of white, radiation suit-like outfits, they burst into a set of songs that had everyone in the surprisingly empty bar hopping around (or at least toe-tapping). No one started a pit until the third of fourth song, and even then it was calm, with only one pathetic attempt at stage diving. the During soundcheck, the banI d was backstage musing abo ut the origins of their unusual name.

is why people come to see them. Kicking off with Twice Removed’s opening track “Pen Pals” had the crowd in a simultaneous

gentle bounce that left those near the front with sweat above the brow, as weli as soaked shirts

which inac ivertently made those of us who 1 were dry eventually wet. Chris Murphy’s vocals came across in f ine form on this tune, but not nearly so strong later in the performance with some of the slower numbers like “Shame Shame” and “Bells On.” Murphy was easily the most energetic one of the bunch fingering his bass with utmost enthusiasm, and elevating himself above the crowd being truly a showman at heart. In retrospect, the success of their live show was the effort exerted by the group as a whole including Jay Ferguson’s singing on “Snowsuit Sound,” Patrick Pentland’s crooning on “Worried Now,” and Andrew Scott’s versions of “Before ” I Do” and “500 Up” from their highly , acclaimed debut release Smeared. At times Murphy’s presence seemed to dominate the stage, but with the

rally of dif’ferent lead vocals, all band members shared the spotlight giving a good deal of variety for onlookers. Tracks from Smeared which graced the performance periodically throughout received rousing responses from the audience. “I am the Cancer” and “Take it In” especially left a mark on the performance. Not unexpectedly, “Underwhelmed” came as the last song before the encore and garnered an energetic response, with Murphy ditching his bass on an unsuspecting young woman to play his piart so he could busy himself crowd-surfing. Funny enough, another audience mernber took little pleasure in her playing so took it upon himself to relieve her and play. Taking the bass was stunning enough in itself, but he really got into the groove with Jay Ferguson, including the jumps and leg kicks. Inviting the audience on stage for the final song is not uncommon for Sloan blut it proved to be one of the winning features for fans as they got to dance alongside a really good band. Needless to say, it also niade any tirthet encores completely impractical. Next ‘week: An interview with Sloan: murderecords and mayham ie Halifax!

Furnace-Faces

“We were a band previous to Furnaceface. Marty wasn’t in it but Tom, Pat and I were.” explained

drummer Dave Dudley (aka Deadly). “That band was slowly disintegrating and this guy I worked with, Al Mortimer, was making up band names. . . and he had this list of names and Furnaceface was on it and I thought it was a cool name. We all liked it. You know the story about the steamshovel that dug itself into a basement and couidn’t get out so they turned it into a furnace? What it was based on was the picture in this guy’s mind of the face on this furnace l” Their attitude takes on a more serious tone when asked about their newest single “If You Love Her (Would You Buy Her A Gun?)” from their recent release This Will Make You Huppy. Keyboard player Marty Jones describes the band’s attempt to discuss the issue of stalkpoint of ing frc am “a ludicrous take view t:hat people wouldn’t He exone w ay or another.”

plained t;hat lyrics such as “There’s a target on her, she’s an unarmed soldier now and it’s a war.” don’t need to be taken at face value. From their point of view, it was ridiculous that fifty percent of the population felt afraid to goi outside alone at night. The song is not a suggestion that women arm themselves to the teeth. “At least people talk about the song“ remarked bassist Tom Stewart (aka Mr. Poopyhead). The title This Will Make You Haps has its origins in what Jones explains as unhappiness. “Our society, which is supposedly one of the most advanced, is probably one of the most unhappy.” They see their music as an attempt to make people laugh and at the same time, forcing them to think. The rest of the concert went off smoothly, the band playing an even mix of their older and newer stuff, including a first time live performance of “Excuse Me.” The show ended with the muchrequested “Shakey Thing” from Just my rl. By this lime Stewart and Pat Badminister had stripped off their white outfits to reveal some cute little dresses. Who says Canadian music is boring?

’

t’s always a dangerous practice heightening one’s expectations prior to a rock show, especially when the band or artist involved happens to be a personal favourite. So diffising excitement prior to Sebadoh’s recent Toronto performance Wasn’t exactly easy. Touring in support of their latest effort Bakesale (which Hiisker/SugC mainman Bob Mould has been telling everyone within earshot is the “album of the year”) and coming hot on the heals of last year’s amazing Bubble and Smp?, Sebadoh’s gig last week turned out to be little more than a crashing disappointment. Not that the band should be blamed for all of this. For starters, the show was held at the Opera House, a venue I’m realising more and more is the absolute shits for acoustics. And to Confusion compound matters, brutal technical gaffs made things even worse. Most noteworthy of these

Indie

Schlock

came immediately following the show’s opening number, Bubble and Scrape’s sparse “Soul and Fire,” when bassist Jason Lowenstein’s amplifier completely failed, thus killing any momentum from the word “GO. ” In the time it subsequently took to get everything sorted out -- a disastrous eight minutes -Lowenstein’s bass amp was

shelved and his bass then plugged directly into the Opera House’s main P.A. system. Not unexpectedly, it sounded like crap, with sonic pops blasting sporadically out of the speakers at awfully inopportune moments. It didn’t help matters that the band -- a trio -couldn’t hear the bass coining out of their monitors either. Despite leader Lou Barlow’s attempts at putting on a happy face, thos’e close enough to the stage could see that he and Lowenstein were downright livid. In any event, that eight-minute break might’ve been a perfect opportunity for Barlow to keep things going by performing some of his solo stuff or even some Sentridoh, his mellow side-project. An argument against doing either would be the prospect of dragging the show in a direction the band didn’t want to go; i.e. “Soul and Fire” plus Sentridoh to start a gig equals Sleepytime. Failing this, the least you might have expected was that they’d go in another direction, only they didn’t. One of the great features of Sebadoh is the manner in which they seamlessly mix-up and arrange Barlow’s plaintive weepers (he doesn’t seem to have ever fully recovered from his last relationship, hence the words “confuse” or “contision” featuring prominently in several songs on the newest) with their incredible power-punk. Except that

by equally competent, but far less productive, Bob Fay). Gaffney was responsible for some of Bubble and’ Scrape’s more raucous material (incredible songs like “Telecosmic Alchemy,” “Elixir Is zog, “’ “Emma Get Wild,” ‘No Way Ouf” and “Bouquet For A Siren,” none of which, unsuprisingly, were played) and Bakesale isn’t nearly as punkedup, but Gaffney isn’t the only punk in the band. So it came as a bit of a shock to see a lot of their newest and best raw material like ” F 1 o o d , ” “Drama-Mine,” “Sister,” and “Sixteen” passed over in favour of more measured navel-gazing pieces like “Homemade,” “Skull,” and “Not A Friend.” Not that these songs are in any respect lesser. Far from it, in fact, because I love all Barlow’s songs. It’s just that the pacing was so dreadful that the show never gained sufficient steam to go forward. It didn’t help that the band members all wasted ridiculously inordinate amounts of time between songs, so much so that some frustrated fans at the front kept impatiently shouting “One, Two, Three, Four, Let’s Go!!!” One: couldn’t help but think that Barlow is still either extremely depressed over his last girlfriend or, conversely, that he’s now passively in love with a new one. As his old Dino partner and long-simmering foe J Mascis once remarked, “Hardcore was nothing more than sexual tension, ylour hormones surging through your body. After that you get a chick and that’s it, end of hardcore.” Thankfully, they still managed a good amount of aggressive gems -- such is the strength of their songwriting -- like “Sacred Attlention, ” “License to Confuse,” “Bummer,” “Rebound” and “Forced Love,” all brilliantly, with Barlow carving out some exquisitely monumental Mascislike lead guitar solos. But more than a few of US wish he”d get more of that sexual tension back, because most of his hardcore has been all but thrown out the window. In any case, you can be sure I’ll still be playing my Sebadoh records, in an unwaveringly heavy rotation and that I’ll be one of the first at the front next time they come around. I just hope it’s at a venue that’s more

The atmosphere was less than reverent during Anyhowtown’s set, to the point where people were completely ignoring them, and chattering away to each other. This was due, not perhaps to their music, which was pleasant enough, and had enough innovation in it to keep it interesting, but to the cavernous layout of the Phoenix, which if not completely filled can quickly give the impression that the place is abShe’s a material girl. solutely empty. However, as far as a long scarf made of feathers, opening bands go, Anyhowtown which made her look like some was very pleasant, and displayed none of the “Please please please lounge singer from the early sixties. look at me, I’m so desperate,” She danced in a very photoflop-sweat-panic which most opening bands engage in, They genie way, flashing the most wonwere no match, however, for the derful smiles at the audience, crowd rousability of the infamous while waving her bare arms in the air around her.

While the Et were playing they had displayed behind them on an enormous white screen giant slides of seminal sixties figures, like the Small Faces, and Syd Barrett, and the hood omament of a Jaguar E-Type, and a double decker bus, The whole effect was rather like that of an hour long romp through Carnaby Street to a techno beat. It gave St. Etienne a very urban and glamorous air, which Sarah Cracknell so naturally possesses that she could make the Spin Doctors seem like paragons of style if she were singing for them. . Half the time St. Etienne would play with keyboards, to make groovy danceable techno sounds. However, probably realizing that the human element will always be most appreciated in music, they also always had a real drummer doing fills and flourishes to the pre-set beat. However for the other half of the concert, St. Etienne abandoned the safety of the synth, and had the full complement of a touring band; guitar, bass, and drums. For these songs they played many tracks off the previous album, So I Tough, such as “Hobart Paving,” with a bouncy mod flair. From way out in left field the fluffy St. Etienne gave a surprisingly memorable performance, which would leave only the most immobile stodge-monster unmoved and ungrooved.

Led by frontman K. J. Janscn, who plays in the most severe and exaggerated crouch imaginable, Chixdiggit proved to be one of the nicest, most inviting bunch of funsters seen in thcsc parts in many a moon. Janscn, for his measure, managed to intersperse the word “Waterloo” more times in as many different songs as was possible as to constitute some kind of new record, but the uncanny thing was that he did it so smoothly as to convince it was meant to be that way. Unless you’d previously thought about it, you’d probably be suprised how many words “Waterloo” actually rhymes with -- so it’s a lyricists dream.

And seeing some of the male part of the audience’s appropriately worn cyclincr and skirts basically confirmed it. Before the Pansy Division could strut their stuff though, first up was the Calgary punk band Chixdiggit. Although the quartet look like blue collar Bryan Adams-type good old Canadian boys, they play quickie twominute Ramones-style punk blasts with song titles running from “The Toilet Seat is Coming Down” to “I Should’ve Played Football in Highschool.” In case

The hardcore trio smash out comedic songs like “Bill and Ted’s Homosexual Adventure” (“This is no bogus journey”), “Beer Can Boy” (“It’s not about recycling”), “James Bond‘N Roll age, ” “Rock Gay Bar,” and “Bun“No swallowing allowed, but we sure do love nies” (“Ya know we me!‘? fuck like bunnies”), but tioning that one song is about the level of musicianship hidden amongst all the yuks is actually “falling in love with your boypretty high.

The mood was set by opening acts Wool (who we missed) and Seattle godfathers The Melvins. The Melvins have a good sound, but their songs seem to really drag on. With sheer volume itself (the volume was much too loud; I like it loud, but it was kind of ridiculous), they prepared the crowd for the headliners. L7 came on and informed the crowd that this was the first date on their current tour. The first three or four songs were packed with energy, but the time off showed.

Journey homophobes would’ve had a difficult time preventing themselves from the occasional chuckle or three. If any seriousness could be detected, it was probably in their refusal to play “Smel1s Like Queer Spirit,” despite the incessant insistence from one audience mcmbcr (by way of explanation they stated firmly that “Kurt’s dead and so is the song”), and in their choice of Pete Shelley’s anthemic “Homo-sapien” for their first encore number. They played the song straight, as it were. Then it was right back to the requisite hi-jinks as they invited Chixdiggit on stage for an exhaustive “Louie,

All in all, an unforgettable show.

The band really picked up the tempo this time around. “Pretend We’re Dead” was a pleasant surprise. It was -played in a much more aggressive fashion, thus turning it from a Top 40 hit to the punk song it really is. The show-stopper, however, was the primarily-instrumental “Riding With A Movie Star” which, so the band claims, was being played live for the fir,st time. Other highlights of the fifteen-or-so song set were “Questioning My Sanity,” “Can I Run” and the aptly titled “Shitlist.” The band rushed back to play a three-song encore:, which ended in a powerful version of their current video release, “Andres.” .

So when I had a chance to interview lead singer Adam Sherbume last week, I of course jumped at the chance. There were lots of things to talk about. Their new album is bad even for them. At first they were at least original, but The Business of Punishment sounds flat. It’s as though they’ve grown old and lost any fervour they might have had for their ideals. The words are still there, and they’re as PC as ever, but their lyrics ring a little hollow. Perhaps it’s the fact that they’ve left their original label Nettwerk, a small Vancouver based record company, to become the bedmates of Polygram. No selled hisif they tory,

* The film starts as a buddy picture, with three male roomates having a drink in a Montreal bar. These three form a Hegelian triad of male attitudes towards women in the 90s - Sean is the sleazy user for whom every encounter with female sex is a fresh opportunity for seduction and conquest; Tim is a sensitive, New Age .man, always ready to listen, but never to act; while the movie’s central character, Jimmy (Bruce Dinsmore), whose personal observations on modem life drive the film, stands somewhere in the middle. This trinitarian theme is doubled in that Jimmy is caught up in another triad, the three women in his life. First there’s Mimi, on the surface sensitive and caring, but, as we discover later, is a bit of an egotist. Jimmy suffers in adoring Platonic silence as he watches Mimi turn from one affair to another. Second comes Paula, played with verve and controlled sensuality by Macha Grenon, a sexual adventuress for whom men are amusing playthings. Jimmy once had a fling with Paula, and he

Through a combative dialogue they both learn to grow out of their simple-minded stereotypical views of each other and to see the person beneath the gender and ideology. Jimmy challenges several elements of Jo’s feminist catechism, including the modern woman’s refusal to accept the risks of rejection in initiating relationships that should go along with her battle for equality on other levels, preferring instead to passively embrace or reject male advances.

Field portrays her with a steely resolve that frequently comes through in her open minded and progressive thinking. She possessed some sage lessons on living, and sayings which were installed in Forrest.

Using flashbacks to tell the story, the director creates an unhurried and comfortable environmerit, which is helped by Hanks’ relaxed narration from a park bench, Based loosely on Winston Groom’s book of the same name, it was first published in 1986. Largely ignored, the film helped generate interest in this semi-true story. Over one million copies

Fall in a Hole by Sandy Atwal Imprint SM

lating about Mark E. Smith. Apparently he’s been even more cantankerous than usual. Are these rumours, of him attacking soundmen and photographers, true? (pause) Yeah, they’re true. Is he a hard person to get along with? No. He’s a lovely person with a lovely heart, he’s really a gentleman. He’ll open the door for any woman, he’s not a mean person or anything like that. But he’s a perfectionist, and he likes things just so. He’s been doing this for many, many years, and he really doesn’t have the patience for crap. There’s nothing wrong with that. He’s very

was like, they wanted me to do it. I’d be happy to do it, but I could not commit to them. They really needed someone who’s whole life was being in Hole and being a bass player and could, like, commit for two years, and I can’t do that because I’ve got other fish to fry, my own stuff. I did that with the Fall, and I need to be able to do more than one thing. But I love them and would play with them anytime they asked me, basically. Do you still keep in touch with Courtney? Well, no. I means, she’s busy and on the road, but we have each other’s numbers, and I’m sure that if we ever feel like chatting. . . I actually do miss her, I really think she’s a cool person. Do you worry about her? No. I think that she is handling everything with the utmost dignity under the circumstances,

strict about certain things, and that’s just the way he is. So yes it’s true, and if something isn’t right to him, he won’t do it. He’s Mark E. Smith and he’s, like, the original. What can you say about him? He’s brilliant, he’s a genius, he’s a genius lyricist who invented his own way of playing music. He’s just a really interesting, eccentric person, and anybody who is that bright and that sort of different than the run of the mill person is going to be difficult in certain ways or be easy in other ways. Madness goes with genius, and I actually believe that. I’m not saying he’s mad by any stretch, but I think that he is delinitely eccentric, and I think that’s a good thing, and I think that makes him even more enigmatic and compelling. As far as the British press is concerned, he seems pretty much

doesn’t do anybody any good to criticize him because he’s right there before they are. He’s brilliant at censoring his own stuff. He taught me so much about writing lyrics. I’d write these poems and he just take it and cross it out, saying “this one goes, this line goes, take out this paragraph, this goes,” and then he’d hand me the paper back and “go there you are,” and it would be brilliant. He’s such a good editor, and I learned a lot about editing from him. All I know is the way that I worked with him in the past which is 1 would come up with a tune, you know -- chord progression, a rhythm , maybe a title, “2 by 4” or “Terry Waite Sez” -- and I’d take him a cassette, play the guitar into the cassette, and he’d either have lyrics already written, or he’d write lyrics to fit it. So we didn’t sit down and write it together. Or he’d have lyrics for me. And then we’d hand it to the band, and I’d play my part, and they’d fit in their part. One of the things that does amaze me is how prolific he is. He’s definitely not one to rest on his laurels. It’s cathartic for him, a way of venting. A lot of people get out whatever’s inside them in different ways, be it weight-lifting, or fucking, or just working. There are certain things that you do on this earth that help you express yourself and that’s what he does. He’s got to do that. It’s not like I’m going to make a brilliant album and sell a million records and be a pop star -- he has to do that. It’s his calling on this earth. That’s why it’s always so pure and so good because it’s never done from the wrong motivation. He also does seem a little protective of his work. His reaction to Pavement, which some people see as very heavily FaIlinfluenced, isn’t all that positive. I actually like Pavement a lot to tell you the truth, although I’m probably going to have my head chopped for saying that. What do you think of the Fall-Pavement comparisons? Some of the songs are total rip-offs. I know that in a way it drives you crazy that that happens, but I think of it as a form of flattery and I like them for some’ reason. It doesn’t make me angry that they’re doing that. I’m only speaking for myself here, Brix Smith alone says this. I understand Mark’s point of view as well. I don’t even know what else I’m listening to, I’ve had to learn so much stuff I’ve had to learn this, and I’ve learned maybe four albums since June. It’s funny that since I’ve really started buying Fall albums, I’ve picked up about nine or ten of them, and yet it doesn’t seem like I’ve really got a whole handle on the band. They deli-

knack for rhyming along with an ability to change styles to avoid ?he shouting of American cousins Rage. After starting the album with a couple of weaker tracks Senser really starts to kick in with the amazing single “Switch” followed by the one-two knockout of “Age of Panic” (the second single) and “What’s Going On." The lyrics are nothing to write home about, but a chorus like “mur guns ain’t the wicked, your bullets ain’t the wicked, & as for the life style of death, I’d never pick-it,” with its dig at Ice Cube is still light years ahead in sophistication than “All of which are American dreams.” Ultimately, the majority of the credit for the band’s sound must go to producer/engineer Haggis. Silly name notwithstanding, he has done a brilliant job of expanding rap’s technological horizons.

sensical ideas is beyond me. Granted, you got some bonehead named Pye Dubois to write the lyrics, but shit man, have a backbone, you’re the guy who ultimately decides what you sing. Another mind-boggling question is how you could issue “Acrimony” as the first single from the album. 1 realize you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel with any of the selections, but how is it possible for “acrimony” to prevail? (Drawing straws? Astrology? Pick out of a hat?) First of all, Kim, you absolutely have no right to (attempt to) rap, and secondly trying to sound like the Red Hot Chili Peppers does not become you. Any redeeming qualities in your definitive guitar style has been lost in the shameless recordings of “Lick Yer Finger,” “Lemon Wedge,” and “Karoke Queen” just to name a few of the boners on Itch.

After having seen this release staring me in the face for the past couple of months in various record stores’ Sonic Youth sections, I finally broke down and made the purchase. I must admit that I possessed an apprehension that was easily as strong as my curiosity though, given that the CD sleeve gave absolutely no song information except for its featuring The Boredoms’ Yamatsuka Eye. I was fortunate (!?!) enough to have caught this combination for Sonic Youth’s encore in Buffalo a couple of years back, so I had a pretty good idea what the release was going to feature -noise, plenty of it and probably a lot of unintelligible primal screaming as well. I was right. As it is, the disc has only four songs which in totality run a comall over again and “Inside Out” is another Erasure sounding tune.

I don’t really know if I’d be able to tolerate many repeat listenings of a fuI1 forty-five minutes of Thurston and Yamatsuka screaming their lungs out (although any minute of Lele Renaldo guitar is always a bonus) so the length is probably quite perfect. In actuality, the release doesn’t come as a total suprise. If it had been a regular SY release, it no doubt would’ve been on the DGC label. Instead, it’s on Thurston’s Ecstatic Peace label, probably because Geffen wouldn’t touch it. My only real regret is not so much the short duration, but rather the price which record stores are pricing up to a full cost. I don’t know who to blame here -Thurston’s price or retailers who are selling it as if it’s a full-length release. Certainly the packaging doesn’t tell anyone differently, so buyer beware. Needless to say, this is a purchase for big time hardcore Sonic Death types or Boredoms fans only. keyboards.

ably the strongest: lead-off track “Astroasis” is probably the best of these, as it goes from a light synth beat in the beginning to a much more pronouced bit of percussion, overtop of light guitar and cathedral-esque bells. Following this is “Salt and Velvet”, which comes off like a One Dove outtake, replete with singer Naomi McLeod’s gasping sighs weaving through ambient beats. However, about a third of the way through track four “Nashira”, things begin to unravel, as they throw in that drum sequence sampled in “It Takes Two”, only sped up by one and a half times. Some-

one please tell them we all grew sick of this about five years ago, at about the same time that “Pump Up the Jam” became a hit. Worse than this though, is the sudden introduction of a jazz element to the music in the badly titled “Lovemotor”, where there had been no such sound before. It’s as if by track five the creative pool had run dry, and they decided to call in a couple of brass players to spruce things up. This unfortunately results in a rather hamfisted marriage, an interesting idea that isn’t developed anywhere near properly. Moreover, it’s an idea that carries on WAY too long -- like the rest of the album basically, ruining “Wet Pavement” and the somewhat Trans-Global Underground-like “Alterindigo”. By the time the closer “Marshall Planet” wanders into the land of elevator music, we’ve all quit listening. Despite all of this I give them credit for trying, and for a fledging attempt at Nettwerk to put out techno, it’s passable. Brainbox would probably be best served sticking with the One Dove, Orb, and even Eat Static influences they wield with skill on the first few tracks, and leave jazz to the experts. Perhaps next time then...

heavy metal band. Their punk sound and the heavy Ramones influences have been set aside for Criminal Zero. Hamilton’s darlings need a good kick in the ass to get them back on track.

Mickey De Sadest is his usual self complaining about his sex life in “Autosuck”, the Canadian government in ‘New Flag” and the ever popular topic of gang proliferation in “Gangland”. De Sadest takes a stab at the Canadian welfare situation on “Prisoners” but Mickey was always more believable singing about sex and drugs than Canadian politics. Their usual brand of biting social commentary is present but this time around it comes off sounding tired. The lead off track “Criminal Zero” is the gem of the album. It has the catchy sound of earlier favourites “Bomb The Boats” and “Surf% On Heroin”. Blazing guitar and catchy hooks make this a fine effort. From there Criminal Zero goes down hill. The sound becomes very repetitive. “Buried Alive” and “Asshole” could almost be the same song. The album closer “Shit For Brains” shows a glimmer of hope for the Forgotten Rebels, Perhaps these aging punk rockers still have more to offer, but not on this record.

that is the highlight of the album. “I am” is the same type of cheesy love ballad that he sang in the eighties (it could be better titled “Send Her My Love, Part II”), “Donna Please” is utter garbage, “Missing You” is simply lame, and the list goes on: nothing new, nothing remotely worth listening to. There simply isn’t anything new, and the rest is getting pretty stale. “Anyway,” written for his former bandmates in Journey, has a nice piano bit in it, at least, but name a love ballad from the 80’s that doesn’t have a nice piano bit in it.

The first major release for Toronto’s Dymanics, original sin manages to capture the band’s funky blues feel rather nicely. With a vigorous, uplifting sound, they have an energy that pervades virtually every track. Combining Davey C and Dave Levtov’s terrific guitar work with front man Scott Brunt’s vocals, the album is simply ten solid funk/blues tracks. The title track, “You Did It to Me,” and “Get Down With You” stand out as exccptionaIly tight. “Hip to the Rip” is the weakest track. Other songs, such as “Wanna Get High” or “Sit Down,” are better heard live than on CD or tape. Which is perhaps the album’s main flaw. The Dymanics put on a great show; fhey manage to capture the audience and have a lot

of fun on stage. Brunt’s stage presence is a strange cross between Kim Mitchell and the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the rest of the band obviously enjoy performing. Yet uriginal sin, a studio album, can’t capture that. There are two possible reasons for this. One is that while the Dymanics have a very good sound, they basically only have one sound -- very funky blues -and while it is ideal for a smokey bar, it starts to drag in the confines of your living room. The other is that original sin, recorded last spring but extensively delayed, is missing some powerful and recent lineup changes. This is most noticeable on “Cheat the Focus,” where their new backup singer’s phenomenal voice is missing from the album, simply because she only joined this past summer. Despite these limitations, original sivr is a solid first release. As the band matures and diversif%s, the Dymanics are certain to become a mainstay of the Toronto music scene.

I live in a world where all musicians feel that they must make a statement about the world in which they live. Sometimes, they comment about an experience that they’ve had and would like to share; sometimes, they discuss situations that most people will find themselves in at one time or another and sometimes, they discuss ideas that few people will ever come in contact with. In the latter situation, the artists will often discuss in great detail the emotion being dealt with. This is in an effort to pass on an accurate depiction of ideas not commonly known or understood. I think that the band 22 Brides forgot that this “emotional explanation” had to be done, After all, it’s great that they want to create a certain mood by saying, “Goodbye pretty baby dressed in white/we’re going to send you off into the world tonight/thirteen angel years for a man who pays/stop that cryin’ now it’s your wedding night”. Without delving into the emotions of the people involved, I find it hard to relate to. T can relate to sadness, hardship, nervousness. I can’t relate to spontaneously getting married at the age of 13. This album features the sister duo of Carrie and Libby Jo.hnson as singers and songwriters. Carrie’s on the guitar and Libby’s on the piano. They began their musical performing career in Nairobi, where they spent the majority of their childhood. The album contains many songs that attempt to discuss uncommon situations. It had the potential to be a good one. They just have to work on the “emotional thing”.

Imprint, Friday, September30,1994 tagging her the indie for her forthright take and psyche.

Madonna on libido

Whip Smart’s opening track, by Al Turner-Tiff special to Imprint Kamikaze rock critic Lester Bangs wrote that, “The reason w listen to music is to hear passion expressed.” Chicagoan and Rolling Stone magazine cover girl Liz Phair delivers this quality in some of the most brain embedding ways imaginable. Her 1993 debut was last years critical meisterwerk, topping year end polls in everything from Spin to Entertainment Weekly to the Village Voice. While the critical community slobbered all over it, in Canada it is somewhat of a lost gem due to very poor distribution via Cargo (a deal struck before Matador linked up Atlantic with behemoth Records.) Many missed the pleasure of hearing stripped down gems like “Fuck and Run,” “6’ 1,” “Divorce and “Flower.” Song, ” “Glory,” While sounding like uncompleted demos, this song cycle more than compensated with incredibly catchy hooks that quickly took up permanent residence in many fan’s brains. Not that musical hooks were enough, they were joined to conversational lyrics that spanned the emotional spectrum. Phair gained a lot of attention for her sexually assertive explicit lyrics, often telling the song’s object exactly where she liked to feel his tongue. Naturally, critics went ape-shit,

nova,” already in heavy rotation on CFNY shows distinctive musical growth through much less rigid rhythms that actually swing. A fleshed out arrangement that features an insanely catchy guitar tiff and multi-tracked vocals are sure to generate a new legion of admirers who were previously unaware of her melodic skills. Lyrics like “Your kisses are wicked like an M-16 and you fuck like a volcano and you’re everything to me” will keep critics and lonely indie rock boys experiencing auto-eroticisms well into the new year.

the perfect object of desire for thinking lonely hearts everywhere. The title track “Whip Smart” will surely introduce Phair to a much larger audience with its sing-song chorus ‘lifted from Malcolm McLaren’s early ’ 80’s altemahit “Double Dutch,” with ts kinetic and bouncy rhythm. Humourous lyrics about raising a son with the myths of Rapunzel and other gender stereotypes makes a strong point about the negative effects they have on everyone regardless of gender. Not afraid to heap out large chunks of bile, she spits it out at men who have crossed her, whether the acquisitive and status oriented former lover in “Jealousy” or the transparent and shallow guy with the cheap and unpleasant desires in “X1 Ray Man.” Phair leaves no doubt where she stands with these cretins while wrapping these songs in hooks a mile wide and deep. Mid-album songs like “Shane,” “Nashville,” and “Dogs of L.A.” harken back to her debut in their minimalist arrangements and tone. To the novice Phair fan, these will require repeated listenings, preferably alone in the dark late at night, before the stark intimacy is accessible. This album along with the ensuing media onslaught guarantee that Liz Phait will become a household word over the next few months. Men will get to find out exactly what some of their sisters are thinking and maybe a few more women will pick up guitars and let loose. No one can lose in a situation like this.
