Students rally government by James Russell Imprint staff

n Friday, October 28, the Federation of Students arranged a rally to protest the federal government’s planned cuts in transfer payments. These payments, currently worth $2.6 billion annually, are made to the provinces for post-secondary education. The rally was held outside The students Andrew of Telegdi’s office. Telegdi is currently the MP for Waterloo, but used to be the President of the

ing to voice student concerns over the aforementioned proposal. We ask for public support from both Kitchener and Waterloo in order to raise awareness and support for the students who could potentially suffer from the doubling of tuition by the year 1997,” said a document rceived by Imprint fern the Federation.

Charest stated that, in the separatist debate, it is not the responsibility of the rest of Canada to defend federalism, but rather the onus is on Parizcau to explain how separation will work. When it comes to making changes to Canada, Charest feels that we should not commit to anything right off. He proposed that possible changes be given a three year trial period before they are implemented. The end of Charest’s speech was greeted by prolonged and enthusiastic applause from the crowd. After the speech, the floor was opened to questions from the audience. Some present expressed their concern over the unity issue. Charest answered with an attack on the Liberal “Chretien is not government. well tuned in to what’s happening in Quebec.” Others wondered if Charest was making an effort to distance himself from the old Mulroney Conservative party. Charest defended his party’s record, pointing out that it had operated the government in the black, and had increased education spending. One middle-aged man challenged Charest, saying that it was the responsibility of the older generation, who had not had to deal with the poor job market we face today, to finance higher education. This was greeted with heavy applause from the mostly-student audience. Charest responded with some convoluted rhetoric, implying rather than saying outright that he believes in students sharing part of the cost.

Bill

167: gone,

today...

by Kieran Green Imprint staff

t has been nearly five months since the Ontario legislature de feated Bill 167, a bill that would have given gay and lesbian couples equal family rights. On Saturday, October 29, approximately 50 lesbians and gays gathered at Kitchener’s City Hall to remind everyone that the issue has not gone away. The gay community is as determined as ever to win the same family rights as heterosexuals possess. “I’m just young, but it’s very important to me because one day I’m going to want to have kids and have a family,” commented Sabrina “Sam” Ferrera, a self-described “baby dyke.”

“I’m going to want thoserights, I don’t want to be left out in the cold.” The other purpose of the dcmonstration was to raise local awareness of gay rights issues. “It’s time to show Waterloo Region that this isn’t just a Toronto problem, it’s a K-W issue aswell,” stated demonstration organizer Yvon Cote. “We are involved in the community and we deserve to have what’s coming to us.” Glasson quoted Cambridge MPP Mike Farnan as having told her that there are no gays in Waterloo Region. The gathering itselfbegan with several political candidates in the upcoming municipal election addressing the crowd. Organizers Cait

but not forgotten

Classon and Yvon Cote had invited some 70 politicians to attend the rally, only three made an appearance, The first speaker, Kitchener Council candidate Bob Mazmanian toldthe crowd, “People should have equal rights unless it infringes on other peoples’ rights.” He suggested polling the region to find out whether the support was there for equal rights. He avoided, however, committing himself outright to the issue. Kitchener mayoral candidate Ernie Anderson stepped forward and declared, “Equal rights for everyone!” - And&son’s statementreceived

strong, enthusiastic applause from the crowd. Later Scott Piatkowski, candidate for Kitchener Councillor-atlarge, announced his intention to work for equal rights if elected. The reaction to the speakers was mostly positive, but a few expressed some scepticism. “We can’t rely on these politicians who came out today, we can’t rely on them for anything, they can’t deliver,” stated one man. The lack of political figures at the demonstration was accompanied by a seeming disinterest on the part of the media. “You notice the complete ab-

sence of television, which says some thing,” lamented Glasson. Y”oudon’t thinkthey’dmissarally about racism or anything else, they’d be here. Of course you don’t want to put queers on television, you know we’re not photogenic.” A moment of silence was observed for victims of anti-gay violence. In the end, participants were somewhat disappointed about the turnout, but felt satisfied overall at the outcome of the event. “It could have been better,” said Glasson,“But I’m encouraged by the fact that there were people here.”

Academic

y now students are “over the hump”, with the majority of midterms done with. Personally, I have no final exams, but several huge end o’term assignments coming up which I would sell my soul to ace. School really does get in the way of an education sometimes, doesn’t it? But back at the ranch (or Fed ofice, if you prefer) things have been hopping. By now, most students are vaguely aware of the proposal put forward by the Federal government that would double our tuition. Lloyd Axworthy (Axe-worthy... coincidence? I think not), Federal Minister of Human Resource Development is turning logic on its ass by espousing the idea that doubling tuition will somehow make tuition more affordable. Let’s stop and consider this idea. The Federal Government expects us to believe that they are somehow improving accessibility and quality of postsecondary education by removing its financial support, and replacing that lost revenue with student money. Lloyd says that students needn’t worry though; the government will begin extending loans to students -- $2000 worth. Unfortunately, this loan wouldn’t even cover the increase. There’s a few problems with the government’s

logic

First,

it is

treating education as an expense, rather than an investment. Every study ever done stresses the need for a highly trained workforce for an economy to prosper. Axworthy ignores this fact, cutting investments rather than ex-

penses. Secondly, by removing federal funding to postsecondary institutions, the government is implicitly saying that Canada does not benefit from the product these institutions provide. Most serious, however, the government proposes to decrease it’s deficit by down-loading debt onto the shoulders of those least able to manage it: recent graduates. Basic economics says that forcing such high levels of indebteclness on those who can’t repay it is bad policy for the same reason a high government deficit is. The government’s motivations for this abrogation of responsibility are three-fold. First, they want to increase accessibility. They are not doing that. Second, they have a huge deficit they must decrease. They propose to decrease their deficit by downloading the debt, Finally, they maintain that the provinces keep for other expenses money allocated for post-secondary education. While this is probably true, their solution is worse than the problem itself. There are ways for you to voice your concerns. November 10, at 7pm in EL 10 1, the Federation will be hosting a “Campus Forum”, where members of the UW community will have the opportunity to question MPs Andrew Telegdi and John English. Watch out also for postcards custom-made for this effort. The face will be designed by Jack Lefcourt, and the rear will provide an opportunity for you to voice your concerns directly to Lloyd Axwotthy. Come up to the office on a regular basis, get informed, get involved. That’s the only way to make sure nothing gets snuck by you. Cheers.

Charest: by Khan

Green

and Ingrid Nielson Imprint staff and

The

Cord

he last federal election was not kind to the Progressive Con servative party. While managing to get 16 per cent of the vote, they won only two seats in the legislature. Formerly one of Canada’s premier political parties, the Tories lost their officia1 party status. Holding one of the two seats, Jean Charest replaced Kim Campbell as leader. Since then Charest has tried to perform CPR on the ailing Tories. His latest publicity tour brought him to Wilfrid Laurier University, where the WLU Student’s Union had invited him to kick off their annual Speakers Series. After the speech, Charest spoke to

Imprint

and The Cord.

Charest: I’ve heard a lot about the Coop Education program from Waterloo, and it’s the 25th anniversary this year of the program at Sherbrooke. It’s been a

big, big, big success. (Waterloo and Shcrbrooke) have turned out to be the two leaders in the country in co-op education. Other campuses are into it big, also. We’re told that Waterloo is the campus that’s had the most success in generating some economic activity... I’m thinking of attracting businesses, we’re told that in this area the two campuses in fact have been able, or the dynamic here has been conducive to attracting some business investment, around the Kitchener-Waterloo area. arzd The Chord: What do you feel is the role of business with regards to the university. With the cuts we’ve just heard about, if not from the federal government, where will the money come from? And what role will business and privatization play?

Imprint

When I think of universities and business, I don’t think of it so much in terms of privatization, but more in terms of partnerships that need to be developed, and that are even more obvious to me in a country this size. 1 mentioned it when 1was speaking, in a country the size of Canada with a low population base of about 28 million people, we have a real interest in being able to leverage a1l the resources we have for the purpose of doing things. For example, in the area of telecommunications and research, we have a vested interest

the interview

in making sure the private sector and the universities work very closely together because the resources of one of them may not be enough to compete in the global marketplace. It’s the joint effort of both that would help them along, added to maybe the efforts of government, You could use projects within a government area of activity to leverage some research and make things happen. That doesn’t seem to me as something foreign, or something that would be antiTory. To the contrary. The thing I’mmost concerned about is the accessibility to the system. It’s one ofthe features of the Canadian university system in this country, In think it’s an important one, it’s an advantage. I also think it’s legitimate to ask for all of society to pay for some ofthecost because the benefits are there for them. I also think that it

I think it’s difficult to determine that; it really depends on which university. Not all universities have dealt with it in the same way. Quebec tuition fees have remained fairly low: there’s probably more room to manoeuvre in that province than anywhere else. You’d have to take it campus by campus -some of them have doubled it over the

is Iegitimate to expect students to also bear some of the cost, And 1 haven ’ t found anyone yet who quarrels with

that, because (students) are the number one beneficiaries of a university education. 1 mean the individuals who get the benefit, who represent the 13 or 14 per cent of young people, are the ones who will have entered into the best deal of their lives, bv eettinlr a universitv Char&: where business meets university. dkgyee.

Northwestern

called Sustaining Quaiity in Changing Times. They’re asking a basic question: in this time when we have to cut back on our spending, how do we sustain quality in our universities? What is your perspective on that? Well, it requires that we do things differently, more with less. It always sounds like cliches, but if we want to do things differently I think we can probably explore the close relationships between the private sector and universities. For example in the area of engineering and major construction firms. Any type of business that requires some research, we can try to establish more productive relationships or more formal telationships between them and post-secondary institutions, and try to leverage the resources of one and the other so that we can, in the end, get as much out of both to offer students the best education we can. It’s well known in this country that (research and development) performance is low, and that has to do with a lot of factors: branch plants, economies, habits, the fact that we have a resource-based economy. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be changed if we have the proper policies. Those are some of the ideas, I think, of how we can do things differently. In the end, it means there’s going to be some belt-tightening for everyone, there’s no doubt about that. Do you see any conflict of interest, or any problems if we have more of business incorporated within the university atmosphere, in the sense of moreofstudentsasaproduct? When business invests they can target where their money is going.

to arbitrate and watch that, and they have to bring to it an element of transparency ifthat’s happening. That has to be visible so people can see those changes happening and make adjustments. That they happen in itself may not by definition be wrong, as long as that’s a choice you’ve made. What’s wrong is when they happen without people realizing that this is the product that they’re going to get. lt’s probably something as a consequence of intensifying thosereIationships,whichrequires some... surveillance isn’ttheright word, but certainly some supervision so that you are able to predict those outcomes and make sure that you’re getting exactly what you want. It also points to the fact that, in the private sector in this country, we also had a very low percentage of payrol1 or expenditures going towards (research and development) and training of employees. That is going to change, also, because in the companies themselves there’s going to be more and more of a need to get people who are trained inhouse that are going to be abIe to tilti some specific tasks. And a broad education system doesn’t accord them that, and that includes the things we do in the transition from school to work. Canada is weak in that area. That is where the co-op education program is a big success, because it is one of the most successful transitions from school to work, oruniversity to work programs that we have in the country. So they will come around to that. What I’m worried about is that they come around to it too late, that they realize too late for themselves that they have a vested interest in training their people, in being directly plugged in to the university campuses. I’m not fearful that the campuses wiIl be perverted in that way, or that their missions will be perverted. University campuses are fairly predictable around the country; in a way, they’re all fairly introverted, turned inwards. I know, I worked at Sherbrooke University when I was a student, I studied there, and at Bishop’s University, they are worlds that look inward. That’s not a criticism, that’s very natural. That’s the type of environment that it’s meant to be, one that offers the indiv idual. .. a bit of seclusion so they can take the time, in the right environment, to learn. It’s a learning environment, To introduce into that environment outside players will not detract from that environment, will not change it in the end.

They should feel they have two responsibilities. One is to make their contribution to the cost, which is not a very romantic thought. The other one is to know that they have a special role to play in society. It’s not unreasonable for us to say to university students that you’re special, that you are in some ways privileged, from a material point of view because you are receiving this education, because from an intellectual point ofview you’ve been proving yourself able to reach this level. And in return it’s reasonable for us to expect you to make a contribution to society. By all means, you should give that some thought, in university. Most students who come in should know that one day their university,

knock on their door to ask them to make a financial contribution. They should know that and they should expect that and they should plan to give, so they can return some of what they have received.

Erin Shuell

Candidate for Councillor, Ward 4 interviewed at Imprint

Where are you from? What have you done? I’ve been a Canadian citizen all my life. I’ve been a Waterloo resident for four years. Where Waterloo?

did you live before

I’ve lived all over the world. Kind of a transient lifestyle, I guess, Have-you had jobs reIated this sort of thing?

I’ve had a board of directors position. The politics is really only in the running. Basically, when 1 get in there, it’s a board of directors type position. It’s a lot of work, not a lot of politics really. I’ve been on a board of directors for the past year and a half for an advertising company, and the last four months I spent in Toronto as a commodities broker. Buying and selling pretty much anything for anyone who wants to pay me my cut. your

Would you say area of expertise

then, that would be

financial? More of a deal maker. I’ve worked with a few developers, so I can make and break deals. That’s my area of expertise, if you really want to get right down to it. What can you do for students? As a student, I’m pretty close to a lot of the issues that affect the 40, 000 students a year, roughly, that go to the two universities. Basically, one of the major concerns is housing. Last year 1 lived in a place that looked like a crack house, to be honest with you. T looked into it, the place was condemned. They weren’t even allowed to rent it out. So basically, I want to enforce bylaws on absentee land1oKlS. Students deservea decent place to live. We pay through the nose to live in these places, outrageous

rents. Everything that’s close to the universities, groceries, everything, they jack up the prices because students are a captive market. So the least I can do is give them a decent place to live. Another issue I’m looking into is student safety. Not just student safety,the safety of the community really.

“Students deserve a decent place to live. ”

NEWS

elderly people have been preyed upon. There’s got to be something we can do about that. I’m trying to make it a safe place for students as well as giving them a decent place to live. I’m also working on developing relations between regular citizens and students. As well, Ezra Street last year. I don’t know if you’re aware of that. There’s a lot of heat over that. That caused a bit of a rift within the community. I don’t think it’s fair that students are portrayed as drunkards. Most of them, that I know, are pretty responsible. They work. They do a lot. Every now and then they go out and have a couple of drinks. Big deal. We’ve got to do something to reassert ourselves in the community. I was thinking of doing something for homecoming. Try and bring Waterloo and Laurier together for homecoming. What else can I do for students? I’d like to be able to get them to vote. That would be nice. That would be a great thing to do for students. Get them to buy back in to the political system.To bring municipal issues back to the disenfranchised voter. A lot of them are students.A lot of students don’t even know there’s an election coming up, which is really tough. I’m a student, and I can’t even get students to vote. It’s not me in particular, if they don’t feel that I can represent them, that’s fine, vote for somebody else.Butjust vote. That’s the biggest issue. The residences, they have a polling booth right in there. Same with Phillip St, Co-op. The voting turnout for students in the future has been very poor. I’ve got to somehow get them involved in their community. A lot of them are going to be here for three years. And a lot of councillors don’t really want to represent any student issuesat all. A lot of them feel it’s not really worth their time. My opponent wasn’t even going to show up to the all candidates meeting. I saw him yesterday at Rogers cable and kind of scaredhim into it. I told him not to be scared and to show up, that I would take it easy on him. Do you know

Julie Cole mentioned something to me about safety audits, which I thought was a great idea. Basically, members of the community , council members atid such, go walking around the area, checking places for lighting, making safe areas. I’m also thinking of trying to get busses to run later hours. That would help a lot of people. There have been incidents of violence. Not just against women, though there have beenalot against women as of late. Women and a lot of

I have a great track record when it comes to business,I handle a lot of other people’s money, but that doesn’t matter.

No, not really. If there’s anything else you want to know, you have my number. If you have any questions at all, during the electoral race, please do not hesitate to call, anytime day or night. Also, for the pre-election polIs, I’m offering rides to anyone that wants to vote, down to the polls. I have volunteers that are willing to drive. They will pick you up, drive you down there, drive you back. Just like that, no charge. We just want you to get out and vote. Down at City Hall. Also, because we’re running more of a grass roots campaign, we’re going with a blue ribbon campaign, basically because I can’t afford the signs. Those giant signs are about fifty-sixty bucks apiece, I can’t afford that. I’m running on donations from other people, a lot of them are students. They’re not giving me $500 contributions, to say the least. But that’s OK. We’re hoping to raise consciousness, of me, with blue ribbons.

He plans to talk to various groups who might be helpful in this, He would like to see“some sort of interesting brochure,” but will leave that to the marketing people.

Marty Taylor declined to be recorded for this interview, saying, “I’d just as soon not be on tape.” For this reason, the interview will be written up differently from the other interviews. Taylor graduated Tom Carleton University with a degree in psychology. He has been a smal1 businessman for twenty years and, at on& time, owned three pizza locations. He’s is currently the owner of (rM~rty’~“, restaurant/bar in Waterloo. He says he’s “always dealing with students.” He became a councillor for the city in 1991 and now seeks a sccond term . He’s “always been interested in people.” Taylor seeks to make his voice heard. By becoming a councillor, he no longer has 1vote in 81,000, as any normal resident would have,but has 1 vote in 11.

what I was thinking of when I came in. They are a big impact in the community, but this is my third election and I have done a lot of knocking on doors and I can tell you quite honestly that 95% of the students whose doors I knock on tell me they’re not interested in voting. So, that’s areality. So, those five percent that are interested in voting, I guess I’ve grown up here, I’ve been a student here, I know what it’s like from both ends of the

of it relates to property standards. One of my goals as mayor is to increase our enforcement of property standards, and quite often that has nothing to do with the students, It relates to the student housing that they live in. We have, unfortunately, a very high percentage of absentee landlords who don’t give a hoot about what the house looks like, to the detriment of the students and the surrounding neighbours. You know, it’s just a negative situaI guesswhat I can do for students is just...it’s a great community.

What is your degree in? Political Science. What are the current issues facing city council? I think leadership is a big issue. I really think it’s the central issue of the campaign. Waterloo is at a crossroads in many ways and there are many issues but Ii think that’s what the decisive thing would be for the electorate. Do you think that currently, leadership is lacking? I think I can provide strong effective leadership. I think that I can keep council focussed and I think I can motivate them towards somecommon goals. I’m not afraid of controversy. I think I will provide a different style of leadership, take us in some new areas. &hat goals?

Well, that’s something that the. council has to work out. Like, I know what my views are. My program of ideas is based on..*like I have a whole...and I don’t have to speak really articulately here becausethis is not like television, you know what I’m saying, it doesn’t matter. When you’re speaking on television you have to weigh everything you’re saying because you don’t get a second shot at it. When we’re doing it here, I can be a little more wordy. I have a whole program of ideas and they fall under three themes. Safe and affordable family community, a healthy business community and an environmentally sustainable community. Everything that I have brought forward or done in the past falls into those three categories. Whyshouldstudentsvotefor you? Why should students vote for me? I would have never thought of that. You know what’s really sad? Hardly any students vote. That’s

“IknOW

that’s not what you wartt to hear, but it’s the truth. ”

I’m really feeling positive about that as an example for things in the future, because we do run into these problems all the time. I can tell you that there isn’t.. I mean this isn’t what studentswant to hear, they’re interested in things from their perspective, but as a city councillor, there isn’t a single month that goes by where I don’t get some very very major complaints about the problems of student housing in the community and the problems that occur between students, and there are really good situations and there are really bad situations. Part

doing, I wouldn’t-mind if

way, I don’t want to wait until there are problems, I’d be much happier if we had ongoing positive dialogue, if we had a presence, so that it just doesn’t get related to, ..well, here’s a student coming forward because we’re talking about downsizing a neighbourhood, I have two teenage boys and they love the fact that we have universities here and that they can go to university sports and it’s a model for them to work towards. And I think it probably inspires them to go to university a heck of a lot more than if we didn’t have university towns here, you know what 1-m saying? In the part of the city that I live in, there aren’t that many university kids. I only come acrossthem when I go to activities. I don’t live in the downtown area where it would be a real part. It makes for an interesting mix of community.

So? I haven’t said anything, I’m just talking to you about it in general. You talk about students as problems and as volunteers. On the whole, what do you think of university students? As a councillor or as a person in the community? Like I said, my oldest son is sixteen, he’s soon, hopetilly, going to be a university student. I don’t really..... Do you think they are a benefit? Of course it makes for a more interesting mix because we have a continued on page 10

continued from page 9 disproportionately large number of youth. It creates a different community, I think, than the City of Kitchener. It helps define what the community is. But as I said, very realistically speaking, as a city councillor, it creates a set of problems too, and you have to hear the rage of people that come to city council sometimes. Because, let’s face it, there are some kids that are giving their neighbourhoods a real hard time. And that’s a reality. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but it’s the truth, it’s the truth. And the other way to resolve it is if people were more interactive like, I have an aunt who was nervous because she was having a group of students move in. The neighbours moved out and somebody rented the house. I said to her the best thing you can do is contact the kids right off the bat, say “Hi,” be their friend, and if you’ve got good kids beside you, chancesare they’re going to go, oh, this is like my aunt athome, you know? And that works a lot too. But unfortunately, what I usually get is when the situation has already deteriorated, in terms of relationships or property standards, and then it’s very difficult to go in after. What do you think of your opponents? Well, that’s a personal question. I don’t want to say what they aren’t. I think I represent progressive leadership. I think I represent ideas. And I think I represent strong leadership, as I said before. I think I have a record of not being afraid of controversy and I think it will do me well in the future. What do you think of your chances?

I think I’ve got a really good chance. It’s going to be very tough with three candidates, especially with two going in against an incurnbent, but I’ve been getting very good feedback when I go door to door. Do you think Brian Turnbull’s legal situation is affecting the campaign? What makes me nervous is that I hear just as many people say they feel sorry for him as they are disappointed in him. It hardly strikes me as being a reason to elect your mayor. It’s getting me a little bit nervous in that regard. That’s all that I’11 say about that. I do think that it sayssomething about leadership, but it’s up to the electorate to decide whether it’s an issue or not. OK. Thanks a lot.

John Summers Mayoral candidate. interviewed at the Second Cup Can you fell me a little about your background? I’ve lived in Waterloo for about 18 years now. When I was elected to council three years ago, I owned two Pizza Pizza stores in Waterloo, and, being in the pizza business, it gave me great busines experience, but it made it very difficult because in a university city, the pizza business is obviously very busy in the middle of the night, and I can’t sleep in the daytime. So I sold the two stores and went into real estate. I sell residential and industrial, commercial and investment real estate. on

How have your three years council been?

Fantastic. I feel I’ve had a very good term on council. I work very hard at knowing public opinion. I know how the community feels about almost every major issue, even minor issues. I meet many many people every day. So I really believe that I know the heartbeat of the community. cou

What are the issues facing ncil right now?

During the three years that I’ve been on council, by far the biggest issues...Number I, taxesis involved in all of them, so taxes,what people have to pay in taxes is always the number one issue, and it is also affected by the issues. The number one issuehas been the Clay and Glass Gallery that they built in the city of Waterlooas a national gallery. The city gave them, a number of years ago, a one million dollar piece of property on which to build it and when they were in their fUndraising program, they said they were a million dollars short during construction project. They came to council and said, we’re going under, we can’t finish the project, the contractor is going to close the equipment off the site and it’ll be boardedup, what do you want to do? My arguement was the taxpayers cannot afford one and a half million, (and the motion to council wasn’t for the million that they were short in their tindrasing, but fdr 1.5 million dollars). My argument was there’s no way Waterloo taxpayers can afford $1.5 million. So I argued by the hour against the city purchasing it, many councillors on council

We are on the verge

the line and have given us less than three years to turn the tide, or they’ll pull the plug. Because of those things, that’s why we have to start resisting the small interest groups, thats why we can no longer afford to build the Clay and Glass Galleries, or to bail them out, That’s why we can no longer afford five levels of government. It’s insane to have five levels of government. No country in the world needs that. We have federal, drawn

One councillor said,Well John, in your ward there may be overwhelming opposition but in my ward,there’s ovemhelming support for it. So I went door to door throughout his ward, starting at the top and working my way down to the bottom, sort of one house per street, from the least expensive houses to the most expensive housing. I wrote down names,addresses, the actual comments, I quoted, brought it back to council and started reading the comments that they were making and gave them-the percentage of people that were opposed to it. It : was as high there as it was in my ward in opposition to bailing it out. The old style of politics is, if there’s a good lobby group or a strong small interest group to purchase something, you do it for them. My argument is that small interest groups have destroyed the fiscal responsibility and integrity of our governments at all levels of government. But you see,the old style of politics says voters have short memories. I was told that many times in my term on council. I was told that voters don’t remember more than six months. But I’ve staked my political titure on the fact that I beleive we have a new voter out there that is looking for a new type of politician. A politician that will listen to everybody, not just the small interest groups. They will know the heartbeat of the community, they will know what people need and want, they know what is going on in the country and in the world and will vote for the best of everyone, not just for the small interest groups. Regional government is a very, very major issue. I and a couple of other councillors have been fighting againstregional government for a year and a half, publicly and by motions on council. It was thought locally that it was not a big issue. Regional govemment was here to stay. You can’t do anything about it, you don’t get rid of any levels of government. What I’m finding now is that there are many people very opposed to it. Toronto is actually having a referendum regarding Metro Council which is their form of regional government. We tried having the samereferendum in Waterfoo. My two opponents and some others on council opposed even asking the people what their opinion was. Their argument was, it doesn’t matter what they feel, it’s here to stay. of bank-

provincial, regional, municipal and three school boards at the fifth level. Some people are saying that I’m the first politician they’ve heard talk like this. Well, Ralph Klein is talking like that, and some others are talking like that. In my heart, I’m the center ofthe road. Fiscally, I’m very far to the right. We have to be. We have to spend money very very wisely.

Small interest groups have destroyed the integrity of our guvermnents. You would support the universities then? Obviously. This is the major part of the economy. If we didn’t have the universities in this city, we wouldn’t have an economy here. It would be disastrous. It would be a ghost town. What can you do for the universities, as Mayor? Where I’m coming from with students is I recognize the value of students. You’re probably aware that on Waterloo Council there’s a lot of antagonism

tu the problems

that they see caused by students. Parties. Housing issues. Recently, a motion came before cougcil to petition the two opposition parties

of Ontario that if they are elected, they will rescind the housing bil1 that is perceived to be a bad bill in a university city, allowing duplexing and so on. And, in the motion that came to council, I said there’s a problem. It’s ident@ ing students as being the problem. How can you say, when a huge percentage of our population is university students, that they are the ones to blame, when we still have the most beautiful city in the province. So I said, I will support your motion, if you will make some changes. My argument is if there’s a noise propblem, a party problem, a bylaw problem, then that’s a bylaw problem, not a student problem. A few weeks before that, I’d spent a night in a police cruiser, travelling around with him. I requested that I be in the cruiser that was covering the university part of the city. Every call we received was tbe permanent residents of Waterloo. Not one was university related. I was pleased about that. There are problems associated with university students,but no more than there are associated with non-university students, so my argument is, if we have a bylaw problem or a noise problem, let’s solve the problem by enforcing bylaws, and I believe in enforcing bylaws whether they be students or non-students. So, I argued if you will amend this motion to delete the reference to students, I will be more than happy to support your motion. The mover of the motion, who happens to be one of my opponents for mayor, would not rescind it, so I believe I was the only one, or one of the few people that actually voted against it. I’m not trying to say to the local community that studentsdon’t cause problems, I’m saying a very, very small percentage of students cause problems, but likewise, a very small percentage of the permanent residents of Waterloo also cause problems. But it’s a very small percentage. That’s one of my big issues with regards to university students. Having been in the pizza business, I obviously served three to five thousand university studentsevery week and got to know them very well. What I’m suggesting is that we have a bursary program or a student grant, hopefully supplied by the city of Waterloo, and I have told the student Unions that if elected Mayor I will ask city council to provide $500 per year to UW, WLU, and Conestoga college (the Waterloo campus) and it would be for the student who best promotes student involvement in the city of Waterloo. In whatever way. And I think students can catch on to that idea, especially for $SOO!They can get into some good competition. Whether it be a group of them or whatever, but let’s get the students involval

my goal, and I’m hoping a bursary will do that. We can call it the continued on page 11

Mayor’s award. And I would like as mayor to sit on the committee that makes the final decision and go to the meeting where the award is actually presented to the student. I have promised that if the city council will not support it, (because as mayor I only get one vote and I require enough votes in council to approve it), then I will give it myself. That for $1500 a year, I believe in this program strongly enough that if the city won’t do it, I’ll provide it.

Brian Turnbull Mayoral candidate. intetiewed at the second Cup What’s

your

background?

I’m focusing my campaign on my record. You can say I’m a leader and I promise to do all these things for you but you can’t guarantee that you can do it, and I have heard so many politicians over the years make promises and then didn’t even make an attempt to fulfill them. I’m running on my record, and I will outline how I voted on these issues, this is where I led the way, this is where I set the example.

I grew up in Lindsay, in London. I was brought here for a temporary assignment in 1965 and I never left. I was brought here for a job. I’m a town planner. I was the city’s first Flawing Director. I was Planning Director for about five years and then I left the city to set up my own business, consulting. A couple of years later I ran for council. I was on council in 1972, and between 1972 and 1988 I was on council for a total of eleven years. I was off five years out of that period. I stepped down once and was defeated once, In 1988, I was a sitting councillor and I decided to run for mayor. I was successful,so I’ve been mayor for six years.

Very good. I have some very professional market people working as volunteers on my camapign. My co-chair of the committee owns a marketing firm. His uncle also owns a marketing firm and has run a mayoralty race in Toronto, successfully. We have very carefully setout a strategy of when materials will be released. I feel very good and at the moment we are right on schedule. My lawn signs are going over very, very well. I don’t believe in a lot of lawn signs. I believe that is visual pollution in the city, along with environmental polution. I’d love to have no lawn signs at all, but for name recognition and to show that you are part of the campaign you have to have them, so I do have a few. But nothing (compared) to what 1 could have. I believe I have a vision. I have proven leadership. I can’t wait to get at it. I’m very excited. This is the type of politician I am. If this is what you like, I’m your candidate. Do you have anything to say about Brian Turnbull’s current legal problems?

No. The same as I said on television and the KFYRecord, that I feel sorry that it happened. I want to win this election on the issues. I don’t want that to be a part of the campaign. Obviously its had an effect on the campaign, but that’s not what I’m running on. I don’t care about other people’s campaigns. I care about my own campaign. I only worry about my campaign. I 1ike my two opponents. I think they’re good people. I don’t wish ill on anyone, except that they lose the election!

Very much. We had an example that was presented to us a month ago where they’re going to save $75 000 a year, which is a significant amount of money for us.

Now, it won’t actually costthe taxpayers of Waterloo that, because one more person skating on the rink that day doesn’t cost us anymore, right? And also, frankly, it’s a bit of a marketing scheme.

issues

When I came in, we didn’t have a very strong environmental bend to the city, and now we do. We’ve been leading edge in many environmental initiatives. It’s in the woodwork, the environmental type thinking. So we will maintain that. There are three other initiatives where I want to consolidate them as much as I consolidated the environmental initiative. One is strengthening the Uptown core. We’ve got a tremendous opportunity. When I realized that there were four major industrial sites along the west side of the Uptown that were coming up for redevelopment, and all our planning had been assuming that these sites would stayas industrial, I clicked onto what a fantastic opportunity this would be. We have approved a very complex redevelopment schemefor the Seagram’s site. Just last Monday, we approved another very complex development scheme for what’s called the Sunar Hauserman site which is right behind Westmount Plaza, The Sunar Hauserman site will be for a retirement village. About 600 units. It’s being sponsored by an organization called Lutherwood. It’ll be a tremendous asset to the city and the uptown. I want to continue to strengthen the uptown cbre, We’ve got this opportunity and I just want to be back to make sure its used in a very positive way. The other one is to strengthen employment. This city was hit very hard in the recession of the early nineteennineties. We had a lot of major closings. We were really hit hard, as compared to the recession in the early nineteen-eighties which didn’t hit us very hard at all. We thought we were recession proof. We were

it took a lot of creative energy on the part of this city, A modest amountofmoney,andalotofworking with partnerships. And it’s a very rifle-shot approach to economic development. We don’t have a lot of money to spend. We can’t raise taxes. But we do have a lot of energy and a lot of good people in the city, and the university and the private sector.

Those things, and the fact that

‘Ws hard tu say what’s going on. Even after the votes are counted, who knows the reason people do things. ” The pattern has been to set up these organizations with patierships. So that’s the second one. One was strengthening employment. The third one has to do with efficiencies at City Hall. We’ve been into total quality management in this city for about 3 or 4 years. It is diffftcult. It’s a new way of running an organization. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the only way to run an organization. People that don’t understand Total Quality Management, when you talk to them about it, they say “I can’t work any harder.” In our case, the city’s case, our people can’t work

any harder.

Employment, as I’ve already talked about. Making the uptown area a better place to go to. That’s good for students.The effjciencies in city hall affect more the tax payem, so two out of the three affect students. What I like to ask of students when they come to town is to live in your neighbourhood as if it were hometown

Students have a different lifestyle than families, and that’s the source of the problem. Students work hard, many of them. They study till all hours of the night, but when the stress is over, the test is written, they like to let their hair down. It’s always been that way, it will always be that way. And it causesfrictions in neighbourhoods. We have two goals far the uptown residential area. One is to make it an attractive place for families to live. The other is to have safe,affordable housing for students. In many respects, those goals are contradictory because they tend to edge in on one another, but we work very hard to accommodate families on the one hand, and studentson the other. We now have over 700 lodging houses that are licensed. We worked closely with university administrations at Laurier, we have a recommended list. When a frosh comes in and they want to know where to live, ifyou’re not licensed, you don’t get on the list. A tremendous amount of effort is spent on that issue. Keeping the uptown good for families and also safe affordable places for students to live. So that is an ongoing issue. But there’s no question that Waterloo is a university city, its got more university students per capita that any city in Canada. And it’s the university era of the city. What

ast Friday, the Federation of Students held a rally in front of Waterloo Liberal MP Andrew Tclegdi’s office. On Wednesday, October 19th, students at the University of Calgary held a similar rally at their university to protest the discussion paper presented by Lloyd Axworthy on postsecondary funding. Without trying to demean the enthusiasm of these students, and the many others who also organize protests and rallies over such issues, it’s time to take a look at whether or not such marches are the best method of communicating student needs. Such demonstrations are clearly remnants of the Sixties, and bring to mind riots in Chicago, and the invasion of the NY SE by Abbic Hoffman and his Yippie friends. At that time, students could gather in enough numbers to forcibly effect changes that they thought were important. (Or, in the case of Ohio State University, the sheer numbers were enough to warrant calling in the National Guard and shooting said students.) This is not to say that a resort to force is acceptable when it works, but the simple fact is that it did work. Despite the fact that our local Southam mouthpiece the K-W Record gave the Federation of Students some coverage (as does Imprint in this issue) the turnout of twenty-odd students simply isn’t going be taken seriously by people such as Telegdi or Axworthy. Even if the point is to “raise awareness” or something ephemeral like that, compelling drivers to honk their horns in support of education isn’t really going to help students out. Convincing taxpayers to shell out even more money to help support education is going to take a lot of time, a lot of discussion and more student activism than is evident in a simple march. At the same time, popular support is a rather unreliable foundation for any sort of financial contribution. In addition to the notorious short-term memory of the general public, vague theoretical support for “education” or “students” rarely transIates into “here, have some of my hard earned money.” The problem here is that although the political structure of Canada (and, of course, the rest ofthe world) has changed in the last twenty-five years, the method by which students try to voice their concerns hasn’t. We no longer live in an especially turbulent time where such demonstrations are particularly effective. In an extreme situation (for example, the infamous CFS/macaroni incident) students will simply be dismissed as children, and their input as a whole will be completely discounted. If students want to be treated like adults, and wish to have their ideas discussed seriously, then they must act like adults. This is a much harder road because it’s more difficult to arrange meetings with government officials and sit down to diSGLlSS the issues at l-m-d. However the fruits of such labour are in5 nitc!y more ~X&ic rhan 3 tkxs;md ’ rallies or demonstrations.

he premiere of Alberta, Ralph Klein, is doing something bad. He is giving Private Enterprise a bad name, Since coming to power, he has embarked upon a plan virtually unheard of in Canada, getting government out of business. Unfortunately, he’s screwing it up. He has privatized the liquor industry in Alberta. Sounds like a good thing, right? So it should be. By letting private store owners sell alcohol in their establishments, he has freed the government of at least one pesky union, the Alberta Liquor Control Board employees, and so stands to save about $70 million that it formerly spent on its outlets. Also, private owners will naturally be more responsive in their hours, their locations and their choice of products than the government was. This is the beauty of the free market: respond or die. Sadly, consumers in Alberta are complaining. The expected benefits of privaiizationhave noi fully materialized, and so, the free market is taking the blame. What everyone seems to be missing is that the liquor industry in Alberta is not free, it is still very much under the control of the government. What do they control if it’s not locations or hours? The most important thing: PRICE. The provincial government of Alberta has imposed a flat tax on every bottle that it sells to the privately owned outlets, and the funny thing is, it’s illegal to buy your liquor from any other source. This flat tax is exorbitant. It is so high, prices on liquor under privatization have ?+xvz. The $$ewml~cnt

room for profit. They add about 13% to the final cost of the bottle, just enough to cover expenses, really. Why must this be true? Because if they could cut the price anymore, they would! Competition is fierce. In the last 16 months since Klein took power with the Progressive Conservative’s victory, the number of liquor stores has increased from 208 to about 450. So now that there are more stores with better hours, prices have increased and show little chance of decreasing. This is supposed to be the biggest benefit of a free market ! So, Ralph Klein shows that he’s really as igno-

In Poland, rant of the market as every other politician, and just as greedy for cash and the free market’s reputation suffers. Opponents of the free market will love this. A shining example of government giving the market a chance, and just look at what happens. Hey, maybe if we had complete central planning, alcohol would be free! In spite of its obvious huge advantages over every other kind of economic system, the free market still takes beating.

How do we know that they are telling the truth? Don’t we need to pay the government to pay people to check on these places? No. Greenpeace is the best example of the free market at work. It accepts no government or corporate funding and does not provide any essential service. Yet it has flourished and has offices in dozens of countries. How come? Because people do care and are willing to pay to ha&an independent organization give its OK. For an even better argument against “Capitalism destroys the environment” is a simple look at non-capitalist countrie, L00k at East Germany, and POland, and the fomler Soviet Union. Their environments are so incredibly destroyed that people over here really have no concept of pollution. In Poland, rivers catch fire. The Soviet government didn’t even tell the world that Chernobyl had exploded for a couple of days. This sort of thing cannot happen in a free market because it is in newspaper’s best interest to find things out that people care about (their health is always a big seller) and to tell them as fast as possible. The free market is a great thing, only if the government would let it happen and not try to keep control under the surface.

CFS not alone To the Editor, I would like to correct a statement made in James Russell’s article of Friday, October 28th discussing the Green Paper released by Human Resources and Development Canada. In the article, it was stated that the Canadian Federation of Students is “the only national group representing students...” This is not true. The Canadian Graduate Council (CGC) is a national organization and represents graduate students in their roles as teachers, researchers and students. CGC was started up approximately two and a half years ago by a number of GSAs that were disappointed with their previous national representation. CGC has grown every year, and is commited to properly representing its membership. We count among CGC’s members the UW Graduate Student Association (GSA). UW GSA joined CGC in February of this year.

Inhumans #l To the Editor, I am terribly disappointed in Imprint. I realize that the entire purpose of a paper such as Imprint is to bring the opinions of others to the attention of everyone - a tool of education, if you will. However, by allowing the printing of “The Parking Lot is Full of InhuMans,” you have succumbed to the one power I have feared would rear its ugly head sometime in my life: hysterical

radical feminism. The confiscation of feminine phallic symbols? Phallic teeth? Ponytails as manifestations of male fantasy? The murdering of Mother Nature by InhuMan Science?!? Did you not realize, Mr. Editor, that this was just the hysterical prattle of one person founded in something other than normal logic? The “analysis” of the cartoon is laughable - the arguments and conclusions are, at best, extremely obliquely related, if at all. So many assumptions are made on so little material, that I must wonder ifthis is truly area1 article, or something planted in the Imprint to stir up the silent majority who is being abused by such anti-male paranoia. The author must not have even taken time to read the cartoon before plunging headlong into the uncovering of the sinister patriarchal plot that this cartoon is originating from. It is the female who is speaking to the male, not the other way around, as the latter third of the article assumes. One must wonder how much thought truly went into an article such as “The Parking Lot is Full of InhuMans,” asopposed to fear and hatefilled gut reactions of someone who does not feel a part of our society. One other mistake is obvious to anyone - the woman’s mouth is NOT sewn shut, as the author states. The “mouth, which has been clearly sewn shut” is some other wound, with the mouth below that. How the author could have made such blatant mistakes in not only the most shallow interpretation of the cartoon, but the VIEWING, makes me believe that it was looked at through a dense haze of hate for men, a film of isolation, and a fog of paranoid delusion - hardly a perspective fitting for an article aimed at education ofthe masses. Shall I let everyone in on a secret? Not everything is black and white, and should not be treated as such. “The Parking Lot is Full” is not tasteful, but nor is it wholly tasteless. The average man is not a feminist, but nor is he a patriarchal dictator with plans of keeping his wife barefoot and pregnant in the home. The world is one of shades of

grey -- something may be dark, but it is not black. It may be light, but it is not white. Middle ground is a wondrous, frightening, annoying concept, but it is one that cannot be escaped, and must be recognised. Couckuyt, Nesbitt, and Spacek: keep up the work. You make me and many others laugh -- something needed in this world. Just watch out for obvious poor taste. Mr. Editor, please review all material (as I assumed you were supposed to do), and weed out articles that have no redeeming value. Controversy is one thing, but hysteria is quite another. And to the author of the article in question: please start talking to other people and see what the world is really about. Not everyone is out to get you. Hopefully you will see this a constructive criticism, and not as an attempt to silence you. You need not be silenced merely educated. Perhaps you should read Imprint more often. Andrew

Inhumans #2 Reading “The Parking Lot . . . ” (Ott 28), I felt myself grow more and more angered by the passive aggressive

stance this humourless and pretentious person was taking. I thought a lot about writing to Imprint during the debate about that much discussed and supposedly controversial “Parking Lot.. .” cartoon of September, but decided gainst it, thinking that I, being an uninformed Frosh and all, could not seriously claim to understand and judge the taste -- or lack thereof -- of the discussion of of such topics. However, by the time I got to the end of this past week’s article, I was rolling on the floor laughing. Maybe it’s just me, but the person who wrote that Forum article must have read only those works by Freud et al. pertaining to subjects oftrauma, dreams and persecution, leaving out the many works that put th eformer into some sort of societal perspective. Maybe his/her interpretation is correct, but I fing it interesting that the woman who is mutilated, is so only above the waist, where the fishmight have hadaremote chance of attacking her. Also, it may just be my naive and blinded interpretation, but I do nclt see any evidence of the woman’s mouth being “obviously sewn up.” In fact I perceived the cartoon to be darkly funny, because I was under the impression that she was warning the man (with her mouth) of his impending doom. I wonder what the author of the article would have written had the roles been reversed. Perhaps s/he would have gotten the joke. Perhaps I did not. However, it never ceases to amaze me that in a society where “jewed” and “gay” can

still be legitimately used to describe a betrayal and fashion that is out of date, respectively, in a country where drunkenness is a legal, if possibly rare defence for rape and murder and in a twon in which a person cannot put a sign of theircountry(e.g.,astickerofaCroatian flag) on their personal property without fear of some sort of retribution (remember, we are in Canada}, someone chooses to have missed the point altogether.

and Slavery

“Alms are for the poor And the needy, and those Employed to administer the (funds): For those whose hearts Have been (recently) reconciled (To Truth); for those in bondage, And in debt; in the cause UfAZZuh; and ftx the wayfarer: (Thus is it) ordained by Allah. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.” - translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verse

[ 9: 603

by Muhammad Elsabaa special to Imprint

eligions are usually accused of being silent about the much hated practice .of slavery. As for Islam, this can not be further from the truth. Islam, as the final true revelation, came to liberate humans, all humans, from any kind of bondage except that of God, the One True God. The West claims to have abolished slavery, but did slavery really disappear? What about those who work lo-14 hours a day for less than what would suffice them. They live in shacks, produce products that they themselves can not even dream of affording, only to be consumed by ‘rich nations’? We can see many examples of those ‘living to work’ rather than ‘working to live’ around us; is this not a form of slavery? What about women who are made to belief that their success is dependent on how well they look or how much they decorate and expose themselves for men? In fact is it not the worst type of slavery since women are made to believe that by doing so they are ‘liberated’ and that it is

(I)

the best thing that happened to them? What about prostitution (legalised in some western

countries)?

Islam’s abolishment of slavery was based on three steps. The first one was to remind people of their common origin, so that no one would think that s/he can enslave others because s/he belongs to a superior race: “0 mankind! We have created You from a single (pair) Of a male and a female” (49: 13). Islam also set the right standard as to what makes a person honorable or of a high status: “The most honored of you In the sight of Allah Is (he who is) the most Righteous of you.” (49: 13). Islam also stated that the relation between slaves and their masters should be that of brotherhood and kindship. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said ‘He whose brother is under his hand should feed him (exactly) as he feed himself, he should close him (similar) to what he does himself, and do not ask him to do more than he can, and if you do, then lend him a helping hand.’ Notice how the prophet avoided the usage of the word ‘slave’. In fact, he ordered muslims not to call slaves by this name to avoid hurting their feelings. Islam acknowledged the feelings, the dignity, and the brotherhood of slaves with their masters, something they have never had before or after Islam.

It claims that the program has exceeded acceptable levels of violence for children’s programming, The self appointed watch dog group, MediaWatch has also spoken out against Power Rangers. Apparently neither thinks that parents are capable of turning the channel or hitting the off button. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CSSC) is an industry regulatory body that sets standards for the private broadcasters so that the CRTC doesn’t have to. It acts in the same way the Canadian Medical Association does towards themedical professional, or the Upper Canada Law Society does toward lawyers. The CBSC acted against Power Rangers after receiving complaints, including one petition which came from K-W. Global television cameunder attackfrom the body, but not YTV, who also carries the show. To their credit, Global is taking a wait and see approach. To their discredit, Global executives are going to approach the show’s producers, Saban International, to try to change the content of,the show to meet CBSC

standards. Since Power Rangers is seen in over thirty countries world wide, it is highly unlikely that Saban will modify the program’s content for the relatively small Ontario market so that it will feature “altematives to violence as a method of resolving conflicts.” The weak willed weasels at YTV immediately buckled under to the threat, although

Hundreds of thousands of Power Rangers viewers will simply view it direct from the border stations. This arrangement will make the General Sales Manager at WUTV very happy; he will get even bigger ratings and charge even higher advertising rates for forbidden shows like Power Rangers. It will still be widely available throughout Ontario, but just on another channel, making the ruling completely irrelevant.

continued from page 14 the nearest video rental store to get their fix. With a few exceptions children’s programming has a relatively short life span. Remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? If not the Power Rangers, some other new equally violent kid’s show will come along to replace it. When advertising money is concerned the marketplace always determines the outcome, always. Talk about an exercise in futility. The whole argument for censoring shows like Power Rangers is that some people believe that these shows incite violence in the viewer. For every study linking violent programming with violent actions by the viewer, there is another that shows that there is no relation, either causal or co-related. There is simply no definitive proof that watching violence makes the viewer violent. When violence is used in narrative forms like literature, plays, films and television it is nearly always presented in a moral context. The hero always triumphs over the evil forces of the villain. Even in an anti-authori tarian art-house classic like the French New Wave film A Bout de Souffle, Jean-Paul

Belmondo’s lead character Michel is gunned down by the police after an extensive chase. Without conflict there is simply no story. Violence is used for dramatic effect to draw the viewer into the story so that it will entertain him. Power Rarzgers is no different in that it needs good guys and bad guys for the resolution ofplot, however thin. The idea that shows like Power Rangers is entertainment is completely lost on thesecensorious bodies. There is a very long history of violent

imagery

since the inception

of moving images, from the Moliere brothers’ earliest films in France throughout the entire silent film era to King Kong to the Wizard of Oz to Bomie and Clyde to Star Wars to Pulp Fiction. Television has never

been nearly asviolent as film, comedies being the historical favourite of the medium. When violence is portrayed it instead has used socially acceptable forms of violence like pro sports and cartoons. These are the two common elements of Power Rangers. Since agencies like CBSC and MediaWatch can’t seem to see the forest for the trees, perhaps it is society that is violent and the most various media can do is reflect the violence that is inherent in society. This is very upsetting to the Pollyannas of the self appointed watchdogs. Violence and aggression is an innate part of human nature; that is why civilization has developed, to help us to deal with thesedark instinctual urges that need to be overcome, in order to become a productive member of society. The best place for the formative young to learn these rules of society and civilization is in a family setting. It is certainly not done well through faceless institutions and bureaucracy who think they know what is best for others. It is these institutions who condescend to parents and their offspring, telling them that they are to stupid to control what they consume, that they

of God:

Angles are purely spiritual and invisible beings created by God. They require no food, drink, or sleep. They have no physical desires or material needs. Angels spend their time in the service of God, and each is assigned a certain duty. 3. The revelations

A Muslim is a person who is in a state of Islam. Muslims accept the Qur’an as the complete word of God, and therefore belive and follow its teachings. Allah, in the Qur’an, orders Muslims to believe the sayings and foIIow theactionsofProphet Muhammad (pbuh) because they are divineIy inspired. Muslims live in every country and region on earth from Norway to Malaysia and Morocco to Mexico. Muslims form a large percentage of the population in Russia, China, India, and Eastern Europe. Muslims are not to be confused with Arabs. Not all Muslims are Arabs, just as not all1 Arabs are Muslim. In fact, Arabs are a minority within the Islamic world. There are approximately one billion Muslims in the world, with 6 million in North America. Demographers say that Islam is currently the fastest growingreligion. By the year 2010, Islam will be the largest religion on earth, and the second largest in North America, with indigenous Muslims far outnumbering immigrant ones.

and the Q&an:

A Muslim believes in all scriptures and revelations of God in their complete and original versions. God, the Creator, has never Ieft man without guidance for the conduct of his life. 4. The messengers

sion to the will of God.” In this case, “submission” ac tualty suggests freedom by acknowIedging one’s existence as interconnected to society and the physical world. Islam is derived from salaam, which means “peace”; peace of mind as well as peace between individuals and nations. Islam entails striving for peace through a struggle for justice, equality of opportunity, mutual caring and consideration for the rights of others, and continuous research and acquisition of knowledge for the better protection and utilization of the resources of creation. The message of Islam is not new. It is the same as that taught by all prophets throughout history,incIuding Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Peace be upon them all.

and prophets

of God:

A Muslim believes in a11 the messengers and prophets of God without discrimination. All messengers were moral human beings, endowed with Divine Revelation and appointed by God to teach mankind. The Qur’an mentions the names of 25 messengers and prophets and declares that there were others. These include: Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). Their message was the same: to submit to God’s will and to worship Him alone, i.e. Islam. 5. The Day of Judgement: A Musiim believes in the Day of Judgement at which time the world as we know it will come to an end and the dead will rise to stand for their final and fair trial. Everything we do, say, or intend in this world is accounted for and kept in accurate records by the angels. Those who do good in this life will be rewarded, and those who do evil will be punished by God. The reai nature of Heaven and Hell are known only to God. If some good deeds seem not to get full appreciation and credit in this life, they will receive full compensation and be acknowledged on the Day of Judgement. If people who commit sins, neglect God, and indulge in immoral activities seem to be superficially successful and prosperous in this life, absolute justice will be done onto them on the Day of Judgement. The time of the Day of Judgement is known only to God, and God alone. 6. Predestination: A Muslim believes in predestination which is related to the Ultimate Power and Timeless Knowledge of God and His power to plan and execute His plans. God does not control our actions, but He knows what actions we will take throughout our life.

God Allah is the Arabic word for God. God is the Almighty and the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. It is He alone who deserves to be worshipped. The limits of human comprehension prevent us from understanding God entirely. Allah is not “the Muslim God”, but rather the God of all humans. The Oneness of God is the most important concept in Islam. God is One, he has no equal, no parents, no children, no partners, and nothing is comparable to Him. It is God alone who must be worshiped, no one and nothing else. God is Eternal and Everlasting, He was never born, nor will He ever die. God is AH-Knowing, and All-Powerful; not even a leaf falls from a tree without His knowledge and permission. God is needless and independent. He is in no need of man, we are in It is forbidden in Islam to ascribe human attributes to God (such as the long flowing beard of Michalangelo’s white male God) through words or pictures. God is understood as beyond the bounds of physical of humanistic depiction. God is Merciful, Compassionate, and Forgiving, but at the same time Just. Evildoers and sinners will have their fair share of punishment, and the virtuous wili share His bounties and favors. All humans, male and female, rich and poor, are held equally accountable to God for their actions. It is important to note that the Arabic term Allah is gender neutral and has no plural. In English, it is customary to use the term **He” in reference to God, even though gender cannot be ascribed to Him.

Prophet I < .‘,II

The Qur’an is the last revealed word of God and is the ultimate source of Islamic teachinE and laws. It consists of Z 14 chapters dealing with-a variety of subjects including basic beliefs, morality, worship, knowledge, wisdom, the God-man relationship, and relations between human beings. Comprehensive teachings of social justice, politics, economics, legislation, jurisprudence, law and international relations form an important part of the Qur’an. The Q&an was recorded and compiled by Muhammad’s followers in Arabic as it was revealed using animal skins, wood, and stones. As it is the word of God, Muslims have been keen to preserve the integrity of the text. To this day, Muslims of all word of it has been changed.

Pillars

Every action done with the awareness that it fulfils the Will of God is considered an act of worship in Islam. But it is the specific acts of worship termed the Pillars of Islam which provide the framework of Muslim spiritual life. These are: 1. Declaration of faith (Shahada) is the initial act of faith, expressed in a simple statement which testifies to one’s commitment to following God’s guidance upon which Muslims seek to live their lives: “I bear witness that there is no god but God, and that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is His servant and messenger.” 2. Prayers (Salah) are prescribed five times a day as a duty to God. Prayer strengthens and enlivens belief in God and inspires man to higher morality. It purifies the heart and controls temptation, wrong-doing and evil. In prayer, every muscle of the body joins the soul and the mind in the worship of God. It is a matchless and unprecedented formula of intellectual meditation and spiritual devotion, of moral elevation and physical exercise, all combined. 3. Fasting (Siyam) is observed during the Islamic month of Ramadan. Fasting involves abstention from food, beverages, and sex from dawn to sunset, and curbing evil intentions and desires. It is a matchless Islamic institution which teaches man the principle of sincere love to God. Fasting teaches man a senseof hope, devotion, patience, unselfishness, moderation, willpower, wise saving, sound budgeting, mature adaptability, healthy survival, discipline, spirit of social beloinging, unity and brotherhood. 4. Charity (zakah) is a proportionately fixed annual contribution collected from excesspersonal assets.It is spent on the poor and needy in particular, and on the welfare of society in general. The payment of Zakah purifies one’s wealth and soul and helps to establish economic balance and social justice in the society. It also purifies the heart of the recipient from envy and jealousy, from hatred and uneasiness; instead it fosters good-will and warm wishes for the contributors. 5. Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, which all Muslims must perform at least once in a lifetime provided one has the means to do so. The rituals of hajj involve all of the above pillars. Peace is the dominant theme; peace with God, with one’s soul, with one another, with all living creatures. To disturb the peace of anyone or any creature in any shape or form is strictly prohibited, Hajj is the largest annual convention of faith on earth. It gathers over 2.5 million believers into a single community. These prescribed acts of worship bring Muslims daily before God Almighty as the creator, Sustainer and Judge of all humanity. and repeatedly

Q 4

Muhammad (PbUh)

Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in Mecca in the year 570 All). His father died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards. He was put undelr the care of his grandfather and then later his uncle. Muhammad (pbuh) quickly developed a reputation for honesty, generosity and compassion. He was called Al-Ameen (the trustworthy) by those who knew lhim and was often invited to arbitrate disputes. While employed in the merchant trade, he received and accepted an offer of marriage from his employer, Khadija. He was 25; she 40. Their marriage was based upon love, friendship and trust. Even as a young boy, Muhammad (pbuh) disliked the custom of ildol worship prevalent among his people. As he grew older, he began searching for the truth. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near the summit of Jabal al-Nur on the outskirts of Mecca. During one of his mountain trips, the forty-year old Muhammad (pbuh)] received his first revelation from God via the angel Gabriel. “Read!” the angel commanded him. “1 can’t read,” replied Muhammad (pbuh) since he was not a learned man. “Read in the name of your Lord Who created, created man from a clot of blood,” Gabriel revealed the words of God, “Proclaim! Thy Lord is the most Bounteous, Who taught by the pen. Taught man what he knew not.” Frightened, and fearing for his life and sanity, he ran home. The revelation from God continued for twenty-three years, and is known as the Qur’an. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) shared God’s words with family and friends as they were revealed to him. He suffered fierce persecution from the community, and in the year 622 was forced to migrate to Medina with his followers. There, he taught God’s Message to people and brought civilization to an area of the world where it had long ago passed by. After several years, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) returned to Mecca where Islam spread and was established definitively. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) lived a simple life. Even as the ruler of Arabia, he slept on a straw mat and mended his own clothes. He died at the age of 63, leaving behind little material wealth. Every detail of the Prophet’s (pbuh) life has been carefully documented. These sayings and actions are known as kadith and sunnah, and form an important source of Islamic teachings. The collection of hadith and sunnah form a branch of Islamic science. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the last messenger sent by God. Muslims love and respect him more than anything in this world except God. Muslims do not *worship him, nor consider him divine. He is not viewed as the “founder” of Islam, but merely as a human chosen by God to be a carrier for Divine Revelation.

Human

Rights

Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances whether a person resides within the territory of the Islamic state or outside it; whether he is at peace with the state or at war. Human blood is sacred in any case and cannot be spilled without justification. It is not permissible to oppress women, children, old people, the sick or the wounded. Women’s honour and chastity are to be respected under all circumstances. The hungry person must be fed, the naked clothed and the wounded or diseased treated medically irrespective of whether they belong to t’he Islamic community or are from among its enemies. Some of the human rights in an Islamic State are: 1. The security of life and property. 2. The protection of honour 3. Sanctity and security of private life. 4. The security of personal freedom. 5. The right to protest against tyranny. 6. Freedom of expression. 7. Freedom of association. 8. Freedom of conscience and conviction. 9. Protection of religions sentiments. 10. Protection from arbitrary imprisonment. 11. The right to basic necessities of life. 12. Equality before the law. 13. Rulers not above the law. 14. The right to participate in the affairs of the state.

But with I:30 left in the game, Waterloo tied it on a 21-yard field goal, sending the game into a 20-minute extra period. After a scoreless ten-minute overtime period, the Hawks scored a field goal with four minutes left in the game. The Warriors were held for the remainder of the game, though a late 5%yards field goal attempt came up just short. “The team is grateful for the support the fans gave all year. It was great to see over 2,000 Warrior fans show up in Toronto to see our game.” The attendance for Saturday’s game was 4,000. “We had a lot of bad calls that cameat the worst time.

Beaty, that flyhalf Jason Pither was able to convert. That compared to two tries, a penalty and a conversion from Queen’s made the half time difference.

The secondhalf scoring belonged to Queen’s as they scored four unanswered tries. The play however was far from one sided. The Warriors showed a great deal of spirit, but had to do something for the first time all year, play catch up. Beaty said of the team “ they didn’t give up, they pushed harder and harder.” Warrior head coach Derek Humphreys said after the game that the score was “not indicative” of the game that was played. The Queen’s players were visibly surprised at the quality of play that Waterloo came out with. And Waterloo did come out with a shot, rucking hard and showing some crisprunning through the backs. Humphreys pointed out that “it is tough for second division club to come up and play a first division club. We don’t face the same weekly pressure as they do.” Despite the loss, prospects are high for the 1995 season. Of the group of 23 players that made the trip to Kingston, 18 will return next year.

spectable rugby and will continue to do so.”

Although the semi final loss season, the junior varsity team is still in action and will play for the OUAA JV championship tomorrow, against Western. When asked about the teams chances for success,coach Jeff Sage said, “if we go out, keep our heads, do the things we do well, we’ll have a good game.” Sage didn’t see not playing first division alI year as a handicap. “We’ve got plenty of experienced forwards, with a combination of experienced backs.” While maybe not as prestigeous as a varsity championship, the OUAA junior varsity championship is something that this team has worked their whole seasontoward. Now that the game is at hand, you can bet, it will be every bit as tough and intense as the varsity version. The 1994 rugby seasonwill end tomorrow, regardless of the outcome of the JV championship. But the end of the season by no means signals the end of rugby. Already there are plans in the means the end of the varsity

The Athenas defeated the Mustangs l-0 to advance to the semi-finals against York. Following a S0 loss to the eventual Provincial Champions, the Athenas met Guelph for the bronze.

Toronto came back to win 1% 14 and the game capped at fifteen. This narrow margin of victory resulted in top ranking in the pool when Toronto beat Queen’s by two, and then went home. By the point differential, Waterloo beat Queens for top pool honours and something to laugh about. The narrow defeat to Toronto’s BAD was soon forgotten as we washed down McGill 13-6 and headed to the party. As usual the Queen’s Team hosted an amazing party. The team’s fee included the cost of as much beer as you could drink. Although

or the record, we came third. This past weekend Queen’s University hosted their annual UltimateTournament with nine teams including Waterloo’s University Team “Murray’s Knee.” For those of you who haven’t heard of Ultimate, this sport is a fast paced non-contact game. Two teams compete against each other while trying to make successful passes and catches of a frisbee between team members down a field into the endzone for a point. There are no referees, all calls are made by the players involved and cheating does not haveaplaceinthesport. This game is about serious fun and competition with the emphasis on fair play. By no means is this slow pitch softball, but we do consume a lot of beer (15 kegs this weekend). The nine team field was broken down into two pools for play on Saturday that would determine playoff positions on Sunday. SaturThe big cocktail weenie?

oak! Every team has them, every team strives to perform them. The Men’s Volleyball team, known as “The Black Plague”, knows its goal is to win it all. The 94/95 Warrior Volleyball squad is as follows: Matt Atkinson - 6’3” Technique: This 1st year math student provides a tall block at the right side position. Look for this rookie to make a big impact in the years to come. Floyd

Pete Denison - 6’3” Middle: In his last year with the Plague, this 4th year recreation studentis the most consistentdefensive player

on the team. Pete’s quick arm swing makes him a threat in the middle, Rene Halt - 6’3” Power: As a 4th year Mechanical Engineering student and in his last year with the Warriors. Holt’s passing and sharp cross court spikes are a key part to the Plague’ s offense. Jason Hubbard - 6’4” Middle: Jason,a 1styear Arts student, shows great potential in the middle. His quick feet and long arms enable him to set immense blocks. Look for this rookie to shine in the future and lead the Wtiors in the years to come. Jeff Lingard - 6’2” Setter: After battling mono for the past 2 months, Jeff returns to the team with his positive attitude. Jeff shows great court awareness, quickness, and digging ability. Ivan Luke - 6’4” Middle: This 2nd year Mechanical Engineering student has improved immensely over the past year. Ivan’s improved hitting ability will award him lots of court time.

Kent Prete - 6’1” Technique: In his 2nd year of Optometry, Kent solidifies the right side position for the Warriors. Kent’s quickness and enormous energy make him one of the teams best defensive players. Matt Reed - 6%” Power: This monster is Waterloo’s main offensive player. Matt, a 2nd year Geography student, uses his height and power to send thunderous spikes to the opponents floor. Look for Reed to take the Warriors to the CIAU’s. Shawn Smith - 6’2” Setter: Unfortunately, this 2 time All-Canadian is in his last

OUAA year with the Warriors. A 4th year Kineseology student, Shawn’s great deception and smart setting ability has been the key to the success of the squad over the past 5 years. Smith intends to quaterback the Plague to victory. Brian Snooks - 6’11” Setter: Brian is a 2nd year recreation student which includes depth and quickness to the setting position. Look for Brian to fill Smith’s shoesnext year. Amar Varma - 6’1” Power: This 1st year Electrical Engineering student is another key part to the defesive play of the Warriors.

hy do people go to live shows? The sound is invariably inferior to whatever albums you may have, shitty seats outnumber good seats by about a million to one so odds are you’ll be straining yourself to catch a brief glimpse of someone you’ve probably already seen a hundred photographs of anyway. Meanwhile, usurious monopolies like Ticketbastard charge exorbitant prices which ensure that few shows are now worth the money that you pay for them anyway. All of these factors conspired against J.

Pain

or a bad show, and although I know that these review-o-matic concert reviews are usually just an excuse for laziness, but I’ve got a lot of work to do, so here goes: Venue: Choice of venue is perhaps the single most important decision a promoter makes for a band. My living room would be the best venue for my favourite bands, and Skydome would probably rank up there with the worst. On that scale, Massey Hall isn’t the worst venue for a band, but rock ‘n’roll is about jumping up and down

in the air. A seated venue is not conducive to such behaviour. Sound: So you’ve got a pretty sedate-looking crowd as it is. Now, there are many shows

that I would be happy to simply sit down and enjoy, but only if the music is clean enough to sit through. Mascis’ guitar was plagued with a washed out muddy sound which added to his proclivity for extended solos, led to periods of extended yawning From this reviewer. The rhythm section wasn’t a whole lot better as Mike Johnston’s bass was practically non-existent. Fortunately, drummer Murph was a brilliantly solid backbone for the rest of the band. Song Selection: For myself, one of the most interesting aspects of a show is the difference between the live and studio versions of a song. At the same time, it’s most interesting to make this comparison with songs you know really well and like quite a bit. Unfortunately, there were quite a few songs I didn’t recognize. I like a lot of Dino. Jr., but I don’t have the whole catalog -sue me. Some songs, such as “Get

Me,” “Feel the Pain,” “Out There” and “So What Else is New?” were adequate, but generally inferior to the album versions. The biggest disappointment was the songs that weren’t played - i.e. “The Wagon” and “Freak Scene.” Hey I don’t care how many times you’ve played these songs, I pay to keep your ass in business. The Audience: The usual problems of crowd surfing idiots and stage-diving morons were eliminated by the seated venue. However, this caused another problem - an apparent boredom by the sedate crowd. This became laughable when, during the opening notes of “Feel the Pain,” the audience rose to its seats. It was clear that the all-ages audience were new converts to the Dino faith. Nothing wrong wiU1 k>rat, it’s just sort of tinny. So that was the show. Bad sound, bad song selection and a rather young, boring crowd at a bad venue.

Ladies Interview

by Greg Krafchick Imprint staff ne of the favorite whipping boys of the Canadian music scene as of late has been the Barenaked Ladies. With reviews from publications like Eye stating that they wish line up the Ladies in a row and run them over with a truck, this is not a hard statement to prove. As is the case many times though, the critical response bears very little weight on the fan response, many of whom couldn’t care less about reading the press anyway. As long as someone out there is enjoying what a band is doing, that’s really all the members of said band want to care about -- a statement the Ladies bassist Jim Creeggan would concur with. “Y’know what? I think we’re doing good stuff and I hope people dig it.3 just gets so saturated with bullshit, all the talk about what they’ve done before, what they’ll be doing, this album is doomed. I just want to do something that I like and I think it’s really hard, it’s definitely not easy to do that, because you’re surrounded, you walk down the street and someone asks you ‘How’s the album going?’ It’s hard to mamtain your own perspective on it. I always sort of gauge my confidence on if my ftiend Eric. likes it...if he digs it, I know that it’s O.K. “This is what I hope: that people that like the band for the music and the songs and the whole vibe are going to be the ones who stick with it, and dig.” Speaking of walking down the street, I asked Jim about doing just such an activity. What’s the fan reaction to the various band members while out in public? Do they get mobbed? “Yeah it’s a drag...getting recognized when you want to have a private moment can be fairly... when you want to have the time you can’t. But y’know it’s not as if we didn’t ask for that kind of thing, we put our mugs on the front of the first album.” I then mentioned seeing

people know we’re there, it’s more of a rock star thing. Space is kind of limited. It won’t stop me from going out, I’ll still dance, I’ll still do what I want.” For someone desirous of a good time, Maybe You Should Drive is perhaps more conducive to the wind down time after a night on the town. Distinctively downtempo from Gordon, the new album recalls lost loves, “Alternative Girlfriend”s and women named “Jane,” as well as songs on family relations and the like. Was this a necessary turn-for the band, a sort of reaction against the omnipresent wacky image of the band? “The scales have kind of tipped more towards “The Flag”, “You’re a Good Boy”, more of that kind of vein, instead of the name dropping, kind of trying to relate to popular nostalgia.. .I think it wa,s necessary for us to do what felt good,’ When asked about the weight of songwriting credits on the album weighted toward Steve and Ed, Jim mentions a sort of Creeggan brothers solo project. “I had a chance to record something with my brother, and we’re going to be selling these little tapes on the tour. If I write a song.1 wanna definitely make sure it gets out, and I’d like it to be with the Barenaked Ladies because I’d like to play it every night. (name lost on the tape) described my song as being from Mars. And he didn’t like Mars! I like Mars, I think it’s a great planet. Vibrant!” A great thing about the ‘Ladies profile is their support of Canadian music, pretty much right across the board. Figuring that everyone has to have some pet peeve, I asked if there is any Canuck band he seriously dislikes. “Dislike? It’s funny because I tend to direct my energy at ones I like so it’s hard to recall...(long pause)...y’know I just don’t pay attention to the ones I don’t like so 1 can’t remember any names (laughs). I mean I have my opinions, but too bad if we got to go to a show I could give you my com-

rice again the tectonic plates shifted in the bowels of The Volcano. Lucky 7, the hot and spicy Cajun boys out of New York rocked the house with their own unique style of Bayou Blues and Rockabilly. This five piece band, which got it’s name from a Dr. Feelgood tune, has been Tabascobillying across the continent for almost a decade now. Founded by Kenny Margolis (ex Willy DeVille member), the band presently features Margolis on lead vocals and squeezebox. Billy Roues(ex member of the Broadcasters) is on vocals and‘guitar. Rounding out the band is the rhythm section of Joe D’astolfo - bass,Joe Geary - &ms

and Boris Kinberg - washboard and percussion. The Sevens have released 4 albums to date: Luc@ 7 debut EP, Get Lucb, Feed the Snake One Way Track, all of which

and

make for enjoyable listening, track for track. However, to get the till effect of this grungy-greasygumbo-cookin’ band you have to see them live because the studio just doesn’t do them justice. Saturday night was perfect for these guys. Being Halloween and all, the crowd was done up for one devil of a party- With their Southem fried Zydeco sound The Sevens made us feel like we were at the Mardi-Gras. They opened with “Why, why, why” and before the first verse ended the whole place was dancin’. They led us through two setsof old and new material covering such tunesas: “One Way Track,” “Spider Kiss,” “Rockinitis,” “Say You Will,” “I Ain’t Broke I’m Shattered,”

IMPRINT,

yo-ur of the arts, here is the answer to your question. Quiverleg has had their debut CD release ready since May. Everything from the tracks, which were recorded at Cedartree Studio in Kitchener, right down to the artwork, is ready and wailing to modify the course of Western Music Culture. The problem is that putting together a good album is a lengthy and expensive process. Quiverleg has made it most of the way there, but the finished master has been sitting around for months because the band does not have enough money left for the final stage -- pressing the album so that it can be sold. The Breeding Ground Vol. 2 ‘94 compilation album features two songs which will appear on the Quiverleg debut CD release. When these melodic strains reached the ears of the Groove Daddy’s Rob Szabo, he knew that it was time for the long-awaited Quiverleg album to be available to the world at large. And this is how Quiveraid came into being. It’s not hard to hear why all those involved in this event readily agreed to donate their support. The Quiverleg sound is the product of

Chain by being the band not happy to be there, seeing as they hate Toronto and perceive the feeling to be mutual. As opening acts go, however, they were generally well received, and for those in the audience familiar with their material, they were a low-key pleasure to see, with a ragged pride in their product. Towards the end of their set, some behemoth audience member yelled out, “Booorrr-iiinngg !” causing Hope to quickly shoot back, “Fuuuuck-Yoouuu!” Very nice. ..

there’s only two of them. They know how to play together, and how to create music together. They pay so much attention to each other and the sound that they’re producing that they don’t have the time to pay attention to the audience, and that’s what makes them so appealing. People like seeing others try their best to please them: it makes them feel important. As far as purchasing L;?eirmusic goes, your best bet is to find a place where they’re giving a concert. The Inbreds have a new album coming out in a couple of weeks, named The Combinator, after their title track: a W song that took the spot of third place in their set. They ended the set with “Prince” off an earlier album, and the reception it got showed that Inbred fans do exist, and hopefully that support is growing.

students begins to develop. He is amusing in this role, as he generates a certain warmth and good natured interest in his new environment and those who inhabit it. All of the children give a very good performance, and portray their characters extremely well. An Italian bunch of Little Rascals, they revel in their wisdom of the streets, gusto for revenge, and rarely lose their bravado. Circumstances force them to be adults, and to view life realistically, but it doesn’t hinder them. Very happy and very much alive, they bounce along taking everything in stride. The film, however, lacks a focused plot. The teacher does not spend enough time to actually create a lasting effect on the students or vice versa. His influence is transient, and needs more time to seriously have an impact. Maybe Wertmuller intends this film to be merely an exploration

without a concrete finish or climax. With more time to spend on character development and over a longer period of time a different outcome might result. Bright, cheerful colours are found throughout this film, especially the children’s clothes and school bags. Corner market stalls and flowers also differ vividly from the drab houses. Louis Armstrong’s songs “Ain’t Misbehavin” and “What a Wonderful World,” strongly contrast the children’s environment, but again express the hope they all possess. Throughout the film, Wertmuller never idealises life, nor does she force or sugarcoat the optimism of children. She instead softens it all with humour, and gives the picture an energetic pace, making Cr’i~o, Pmfessore! delightful and very enjoyable to watch,

Hi Riskque spoken word You Got New and

to Burn to Shine: Selected Writings John Giomo High Risk Books

by Wayne Gotts special to Imprint

can’t resist the image of the word cops at the border reading John Giorno’s latest collection of poetry and prose wearing rubber gloves, so there. Giomo, quasi-beat (William Burroughs supplies the gushing introduction) AIDS activist, record mogul (he founded Giomo Poetry Systems,) survivor of the pop-art sixties, movie star (Andy Warbol’s SEeep) and innovator in communicating poetry to all of those tree-huggers so plugged into the ecosystem that they’re sure their books scream in the night, has produced a book which is at times delightful, at times banal, at times whiningly proud, and at times heartwrenching. Giorno’s reputation as a poet stems largely from his commitment to the spoken word. Some of you may even have caught his recent show in Toronto or his appearance on TVO’ s hnprint last season. As a spoken word artist, Giorno is one of the most important precursors to the current movement which has managed to get itself heard everywhere from the Bombshefter to Lollapalooza. Poetry, Giomo has long held, is in the waves, not in the ink. Reading a Giorno poem, therefore, is a strange experience, and always gives the sense that something is missing, that the experience could have been otherwise. While Giomo’s better poems- “Stretching It Wider,” “Life Is A Killer,” and “Hi Risque” -- manage to retain some of the emphatic energy which characterizes his live

performances, most unfortunately, do not. “Suicide Sutra,” for example, with its death-in-Buddhistterms subtext, and its call at the dutset for audience participation and collective experience, promises something it can’t deliver. Not to the solitary reader on his couch at home, at any rate. All of which is to say that Giomo always composes for oral delivery and even the most naive student of the art of rhetoric understands the effect of an utterance is largely contingent on the context of the utterance’s reception. All of which is to say that if you want to enjoy Giomo’s poetry and don’t live alone, wrap ‘em in plastic (Customs will have its revenge) and yell

Even though I swallowedhis cum, somehow now in I993 I am HIVnegative... ‘en in the shower. Or find a Bodhi tree, sit down, and belt ‘em out. You got to read ‘em ALOUD for them to Shine. While Giomo’ s prose pieces are generally more successful, some are stronger than others. His memoir, “Andy Warhol’ s Movie Sleep,” while fascinating as a piece of pop-cultural history, is a touch too proud and self-aggrandizing for a self-proclaimed Buddhist. This sameBuddhist investment makes his comments on Robert Mapplethorpe’ s death and probable fate in the cycle of samsaras absolutely nauseating. (Better Mapplethorpe should follow those

flowers he loved so well and just rot.) What really works here are Giomo’s great shouts of affirmation like “Great Anonymous Sex” and “AIDS Monologue.” “Great Anonynmous Sex,” a very graphic memoir devoted to the late NY artist Keith Haring and to anonymous friction in the men’s room at the NY subway’s Prince Street Station, is at once erotic, haunting, and profoundly touching. And while there is something disconcerting for this heterobougeois reader arriving at lines like, “When I gave Keith the blow job, he was HIV positive...Even though I swallowed his cum, somehow now in 1993 I am HIV negative and in excellent health, one of many miracles,” there is no mistaking the underlying educative funtion of Giomo’s pieces. The people Giorno writes about are all dead ex-lovers and when hedrops aname, that name

when and how that person died --usually of AIDS, usually when the victims were startlingly young. AIDS, Giomo hints, alters the structure of memory in much the same way war did for previous generations. The proper response this crisis, he continues, is neither panic at the items on the sexual CV, nor the adoption of a self-destructive sexuality (Canuck social theorist Arthur Kroker’s version of the sexual poles in the postmoder arena.) The proper response, to quote Giomo’s own description of the mandate of the AIDS Treatment Project he founded in 1984, is “indiscriminate compassion.” This is an important lesson, I think. Those haunting parentheses, after all, will be around for some time.

Ten Foot Pole is the latest addition to California punk label Epitaph’s already stellar line up. Rev their first release for Epitaph goes for the jugular. With their pop styled punk music, Ten Foot Pole joins the ranks of Bad Religion, Gas Huffer, Offspring and Rancid. Hailing from a small town sixty miles north of L.A. called Oxnard, the five piece band has developed a style similar to Offspring. They play hard and fast. Let me repeat it again if you missed it, they play hard and fast. The vocals are half

fit the package. ‘“That’s Just What You Are” by Bostonbased Aimee Mann is okay as she sings “we will never see eye to eye” and “there’s not point in changing” - sounds a little like a Jane and Sydney song to me; or Billy and Allison; or Jake and Amanda. Urge Overkill’s acoustic “Back On Me” is from their recent release, Sufurution, which blends well in style and theme. Dinosaur Jr, who seems to be on every tribute album, compilation and soundtrack, offers the previously unreleased “Blah” which is blah. Disappointing is Paul Westerberg’s very slow, boring “A Star Is Bored” which does not reflect his past in The Replacements, nor his solo career with his I4 Songs album. “How Was It For You” by James may fit the theme, but the song sucks. On a positive note, Frente’s “Ordinary Angels” is a welcome relief. Witi an iicredible album and an EP under their belt, the future for this Australian sensation is looking good, and this new worldwide recognition on a popular television show will undoubtedly boost their careers. Another bonus is the Divinyls “I’m Jealous” which captures Melrose Place. If Melrose Place

For all the punk aggressions let loose on Rev, Ten Foot pole are surprisingly tuneful. “Old Man” is a ,I heavy pop song with some catchy hooks. Don’t let the punk labe1 scare you. In Canadian terms you could almost consider them a heavier version of the late Lowest Of The Low, especially the excellent “Closer To Grey”. The chaotic drums are thedriving force behind the majority of the songs which are thoughtfully spliced by some well planned guitar riffs. Some hardcore, a touch of rock and some witty lyrics added to a backbone of this punk release makes Rev a solid listening experience. Every song is done in an all out fashioq, like a car spinning out of control. Both the album opener “Never Look Back” and the pounding “Final Hours” are evidence of this. If this stuff does not makes you want to get out and do some serious crowd surfing I don’t know what will. Ten Foot Pole offer the intensity that bands like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam have lost during their sellout to a major record label. Buy some real alternative music and pick up Ten Foot Pole’s Rev, you won’t be disappointed. Once again Epitaph, the mecca of California punk, managed to bring another punk wonder to the general public.

Imprint staff Throughout her career, Madonna has made it her trademark to change personas as many times as she changes hair colour. Her latest incarnation is as a more sensual than sexual performer. However, what really matters is the music, a department in which the Material Girl seemsto be lacking. Basically the album is an exercise in laid back spliffy beats a la Digible Planets, Me’Shell, but of course much more poppy and glowing with that Top 40 sheen. And Maddy’s voice is soothing to match. This, and some regretably weak lyrics make for an album perpetually mired in second gear. Reading the producing credits on this album make the reason all too clear. This album has an army of producers, including Nellee Hooper (who helped Bjork with her Debut masterpiece), Maclonna’s pa1 Babyface, and this fact points out that she seemsto be flailing for inspiration, trying to suck musical ideas from her producers, in lieu of having any herself. Moreover, even if these producers did come up with something interesting, Madon-

na’s hand at the mixing board seems to entirely mire it up, if the lyrics haven’t done it already. On this album she seems to have lost a lot of the subtly and urgency that her best material shows she’s capable of. Proof of all of this lies in the title track, the only one Madonna didn’t actually have a hand in writing. Here Bjork and Nellee get together again to work their magic, with a song so overwhelmingly superior to the rest of the album that.it makes the other ten tracks sound just that much worse. Maddy’s assuredly __ strong voice mews on about “Travelling tu the arms of unconsciousness”, all in a most alluring way. Sure it’ s great, but within the framework of the rest of the album, it sticks out like a sore thumb, and only serves to make us long for Bjork’s new album in March. Sad;actually. As for the rest, “Secret” is probably the best of the lot, with its pleas&t humming chorus, and at least “Survival” has some passable lyrics regarding her public image, but really that’s about it. The tempo variance is almost non-existant between tracks, and none

There is currently no cure for the degenerative neurological disorder of multiple sclerosis which Victoria Williams was diagnosed with in 1992. Because of her whopping medical bills and no insurance to cover them her friends compiled a tibute album entitled Sweet Relief featuring a variety of bands covering her songs.

Buck and Mike Mills on “Hitchhiker’s Smile.” A stunning duet with Mark Olsen of the Jayhawks (and Williams new hub) on “When We Sing Together” is delinitely the highlight on this album with its plain folk music and Williams’ Louisiana slurs and cutsey, cutsey voice. For the most part this album’s slow insightful folk could be better if Williams relied more on her unique helium sucking voice instead of hiding it behind dubbed-in orchestra bits, -piano parts, and numerous other add-ins. Pearl Jam made “Crazy Mary” a #l hit; Williams doesn’t deliver this song with the conviction of Vedder simply because more is not necessarily better. Ideally, Williams successremains in her songwriting, an acoustic guitar, and a voice that only she could get away with. Buy Loose only if you know what you’re getting yourself into, otherwise pick up Sweet Relief: stretched out over too much material. This EP demonstrates that they’re anything but a flash in the pan, but rather seem quite capable of creating a respectable career. Sebadoh, on the other hand, are well on their way to becoming

alternative influences that drove the earlier release. Unfortunately some of the raw intensity of the indie release was lost with Project Twinkle. A fe:wof the songs boast similar bass and guitar riffs and subsequently the album becomes rather repetitive and suffers from it. The lead off single “Triple Oceanic Expterience” is a fine groove filled track but you don’t really need to hear it recreated three more times. The heavy jazz overtones of “80% Knockout” are a nice experiment and prove a fine break from the numerous funk driven

numbers.

The King Colbb Steelie experience is not for everyone. The funk/rock sound gets a tad derivative at times but if you like your beats fast and heavy and enjoy jumping up and down, then this may interest you. Overall Project Twinkle is a release that King Cobb Steelie can be proud of.

The band does try to convey some social criticisms and messagesthrough their music, but any message is lost in the harsh lytical context in which it’s delivered. Examples of the graphic spectacles which they incorporate in their music can be heard in “Cake and Sodomy” and “Dogma,” which illustrate the perverted images presented by a corrupted band. Don’t expect to hear too much from Marilyn Manson in the future unless it’s on America’s most wanted.

Without a doubt, Slayer are the embodiment of what all parents despise about music. Yes, I know, Ozzy Osbourne bites the heads off bats, and Kiss live their lives in an orgy of dionysian indulgence, but Slayer are pretty much the epitome of satanic excess. Their early albums not only came with titles like Reign in He0 but the cover art was usually an inspired rendition of some torturous act, the songs were titled something nastysuch as“Angel ofDeath” and usually contained lyrics like “I drink the blood of the priesti the virgin sacrifice lies before me/ Satan, satan I love you sat&You’re so evil, hail Satan” and so on. The music itself was as diabolical as you could get. If Satan could play guitar, he’d be in Slayer. One of their most awe-inspiring riffs, from the aforementioned “Angel of Death” was immortalized by Public Enemy (thanks, Rick Rubin) in their “She Watch Channel Zero.” While Slayer haven’t remained totally obscure, and have gradually gained more of an audience, yet seem to be as uncompromising as ever in their devotion to the genre of Death Metal, Divine Intervention represents both aspectsof Slayer - the punishing faster-than-thou guitar solosand

evil riffs, and the slow lurching power chords heavily inspired by (and only surpassed by) Black Sabbath. Lyrically, there’s still a devotion to death and destruction, but it seems to be tempered (dare 1 say toned down) with a desire to talk about political issues. The fourth track, “Dittohead” tries to fuse a political rant with a declaration of a love for violence. Needless to say, it doesn’t really work. While it may seem a little odd to discuss Slayer lyrics, if they’re included in the liner notes, they’re there to be read. Perhaps the strangest thing about the lyrics is

that almost every line on this CD is seven syllables long. “Here in 1994/ Things are different than before” OR. “Can’t explain the other side/ Answers lost before their eyes.” Trust me, it goes on. And on. Personally, I’d prefer the “lick the maggots off the cloven hoof of Satan” Slayer, myself. The whole thing is over in 36 minutes, but packed with hours of aggression ! So, if over-the-top rapid-fire guitar solos mixed in with a penchant for sacrilegious lyrics are your bag, thenDivine Intervention is for you. Hail Slayer!
