taking a UW professor, Li Deng, to court. The battle is primarily over speech-recognition software the two were working on. Under UW’s bylaw 4, Deng, an Electrical and Computer Engineering professor, will have his legal costs paid for the by the university. Erler will not. Section IA of the bylaw states “All costs, charges and expenses whatsoever” resulting from any action or inaction by a “Governor, officer or employee” will be paid by the university. Erler’s complaints against Deng were first heard by the University Committee on Student Appeals (UCSA) earlier this year. The UCSA produced a report detailing the complaints and its

to Hugh Goebelle,president ofthe Graduate Student’sAssociation, among the complaints which Erler made to the joint UCSA/Ethics committee were allegations regarding withholding Research Assistantship and the acknowledgement of research contributions. Deng also launched a set of counterclaims to Erler’s. Goebelle and Pam Gahwiler, vice-president communications for the GSA, stated that although they recognized that most organizations protect their employees in a similar fashion, this case is setting a dangerous precedent. Goebelle and Gahwiler also stated that they personally know of several other cases of professors exploiting students. They added that studentsare initially in a disadvantaged position when facing professors and

may since future references and recommendations are dependent upon the professors that they are confronting. “The university seemsto be saying that they couldn’t deal with the problem through the university committee (on student appeals) so the two people should take it to civil court, but the university is going to be paying for the professor’s costs,” said Gahwiler. The University of Waterloo has seven policies which touch on the intellectual property issues. For Erler, however, these policies were not enough. He worked with Duncan Phillips, now the chair of Canadian Graduate Council (CGA), to help develop a policy for students at the University of Waterloo on intellectual property. Both were also co-authors of the

earlier this month that the issue of intellectual .property and the rights of graduate students was a very touchy issue, and that problems regarding such issues were often ignored or dealt with quietly. The issue of intellectual property and graduate research was given added attention when in 1992, professor Valery Fabrikant shot four people to death, implicating them and otther professors in unethical research practices in his suicide note.

A report titled Integrity in Scholarship that wascommissioned after the Fabrikant affair concluded that too much emphasis was placed on publicatjlon, and that some professors did claim authorship on research conducted by junior members and gra.duatestudents - a claim made by Erler and Phillips in their paper on inteZlectua1property for the GSA.

n all candidates forum pro duced a small crowd of about forty students last Thursday as the mayoral and ward councillor hopefuls tried to address student issues. During the forum, held in the Campus Centre’s great hall and organized by the Federation of Students, most of the candidates tailored their speeches to the student community, trying to remind the students of their track records and make various promises to improve student life. The only candidate to reccivc any real support from the crowd was Erin Schuell, a Laurier undergraduate student running against incumbent Morty Taylor for Ward 4. Schuell had approximately five supporters who cheered him on.

His speech emphasized his ability to reflect student concerns appropriately because he was one of them. Bill Butler, a ward councillor who is now seeking election as a Waterloo candidate at-large, spent his entire two minute opening speech shooting down accusations made by opponent Scott Piatkowski that city councillors hold back room meetings in Marty’s Pub, owned by Ward 4 candidate Morty Taylor. Piatkowski ‘s literature states that he will fight for “a council that does not make important decisions in the back of a bar.” Butler stated that this was simply because Marty “has the best chicken wings in Waterloo.” Butler also claimed that such accusations were the reason that politics is in disrepute.

he wheels of justice turn slowly indeed. The pre-trial hearing against two Bent security guards was again postponed last week, meaning this part of the procedure won’t be finished until over 10 months after the incident occurred.

The pre-trial was supposed to resume on Thursday October 27, however the first case of the day still had not been completed by the time the court took its break for lunch. At this point the defence lawyers and crown attorney decided that the case wouldn’t get done that day, so they postponed the case until January 13, 1995.

These delays have caused considerable inconvenience to some of the witlicsses as they have had to take time off work and drive in from Toronto in order to appear in court. The charges of assault causing bodily harm wcrc laid against two BENT security guards after an incident which occurred on campus last March.

hile university deficits and lack of educational resource funds become more common in Canada, many worry about the quality of post secondary education. For those who wish to make a personal impact. in the betterment the University of Waterloo, a program called Planned Giving is available. Like other colleges and universities, the University of Waierloo relies- on private donors for special gifts of money, equipment and books. Planned Giving is a program which incorporates charitable giving into personal, financial, and estate planning. Donations may be small or large, ranging from the sponsorship of new buildings to the contribution of a few treasured books for library collections. Financial contributions to Planned Giving can include gifts such as bequests, life insurance, charitable annuities and charitable remainder trusts. One important option available

is the University of Waterloo endowment fund, which provides support on a permanent basis for a wide range of projects around campus. As the endowment fundgrows, it provides income for priority projects while the principal remains intact in perpetuity.Bequests to the University of Waterloo are accomplished through will inclusions. Without a will, personal wishes may be ignored or overlooked.

treatment. Ten percent of all people with schizophrenia commit suicide, either to escape the torment of their illness, or because their “voices” command them to. Ten years after their first schizophrenic episode, 25 percent of people with schizophrenia have recovered completely. Another 25 percent are much improved and living fairly independent lives, 25 percent, although improved still need extensive support. 15 percent are hospitalized and show no improvement, and 10 percent have killed themselves. There are not enough services to help the most severely ill schizopht’enics. The Ontario Mental Health Act is part of the problem. The Act too easily allows very ill schizophrenics who cannot recognize their need for help to refuse treatment. . Research into a cause and cure for schizophrenia is vastly undetinded.

Liquid Pope is the name of a fake product advertised as a joke in the Fulcrum, the University of Ottawa student paper. The product looks very similar to Liquid Paper, but is a “conception fluid,” not a “correction fluid.” Made of “100% Papal Semen,” Liquid Pope claims to be bottled in Vatican City and warns that intentional misuse could be “blasphemous.” Needless to say, Gillette and Catholics everywhkre are taking offense.

Promises Promises by Jeff Imprint

f you do not remember the elec tion campaign last winter you aren’t alone. A brief Imprint survey showed that only one in five students around last winter actually remember any of the promises made then (see below). Stephen Codrington and Christine Dewhurst ran together on a “big ticket” along with Andreas Kurvits. Julie Cole ran on a different “big ticket” with Bruce Winter and Randy Bareham. Two others, Ammie Klein and Leon Briggs, ran as independents for vice president, operations and finance. This is a brief recap of the winning candidates’ promises, as reported in Imprints: Januarv 2 1: C~drington.

She also wanted more training concerning sexual harassment for coops, a specialized outreach team of experts for topics like date rape. Improving the accessibility of the Fed was Iparamount, and she also wanted to work with OUSA to have any tuiltion hikes matched dollar for dollar by the government.

Six months’ continued from page 3 The Vice President, Operations and Finance, Christine Dewhurst is equally satisfied that things are going well. Possibly one ofthe most prominent promises she made was to produce quarterly financial statcments. While the one published so far in Imprint (October 28; for the period May to August, 1994) has not been extremely detailed, Dcwhurst claims she wanted to make it readable for “non-accountants.” Campaigning for increased Fed visibility was another key platform for Dewhurst. She pointed to the “town crier” pilot project as an cxample of her work in this arca. She can not make changes “overnight,” and agrees that “it’s [not] 100% of what our potential is . _ . but it’s going in the right direction.” She is very proud of the number of new volunteers, and emphasises that only one position on student council is open -- everything else is full. Airing Fed videos in the Bombshelter was part of the “communications plan” that she jointly held with Codrington and Kurvits last winter. The idea seems to have been abandoned after some initial research, in favour of the “Speaker’s Corner” concept that

was another key platform. The Speaker’s Comer, initially promised operational by the end of August, has been delayed because of the delays in the Student Life Centre (SLC) according to Dewhurst. “We were led to believe

Dewhurst: “We [believed] that the new Student Cen tre would be up and runniqf that the new Student Centrc would be up and running by the end of October” when the promises were made. However, she does hope to have a pilot project operational by the end of February In regards to the SLC, Dewhurst had promised to make sure all jobs were open to students. She is currently the chair of the subleasing committee, and in the letter of tender sent out to interested

& thevke

businesses the student employment requirement was clear. Everyone on the “short list,” she claimed, has promised to hire part time students. Another promise she made was to establish a computer database for sub-letters, so students could offer and search for four month sublets. This idea has been abandoned. “When I got down to it and talked to two people (froni the housing office) and found that housing would be going (on-line) . . . I’d rather wait and see until they go ahead.” The Vice President, University Affairs, Julie Cole is also very happy with how things stand six months in. “There’s a bunch of differcnt approaches we’ve taken” relating to her promise to improve student awareness of Fed services, including brochures, a new logo, and class visits. “I think a Iot of it has just come from our attitudes and word ofmouth.” Students aren’t ever going to be in tune with that many Fed projects, she continued, because of the focus on academics. But that is not too important, as long as those services are there when they are needed. Cole has been very active with some other aspects ofher campaign

promises. One, the “neighbourhood dons” program, was started in September. Called PODS, it has twenty older students helping about one hundred first year students spread throughout Waterloo. A related area is her pledges towards off campus safety audits. Having evaluated a

program at McGill, she is preparing a report for the Personal Safety Committee about its feasibility at Waterloo. Improving student awareness about sexual harassment while on coop placements was another key issue for Cole last winter. She is currently on an ad-hoc committee dealing with the issue, and they have developed some procedures for students on work terms. Concerning her promises about improving awareness about date rape, a new branch of PALS has been set

up to teach students about sexual assault, eating disorders, and other major problems. Cole is also setting up a “peer support” program to provide one-on-one support for students in difficult personal situations. The l-800 number Cole promised has also already been set up. Bell Canada is donating the cost, although it has only been used a few times so far. Cole had also promised to develop “kits” for coop students going on work terms in unfamiliar cities. These kits, containing maps, the names of good bars, and where to get cheap food, are ready and will be available for some major Ontario coop locations in time for the winter work term. A difficult promise to keep is Cole’s pledge to get “women’s only” time in the PAC weight rooms. “It’s been a contentious issue,” she admitted, though she quickly denied any conflict with the people at the PAC. “I don’t like to say there’s no hope. . . we’ll see” if it will happen eventually. One thing she is proud of has been her defence of students to city council. “I didn’t take any shit from council,” she claimed, in reference to complaints a few weeks ago relating to a off campus student party.

he World Conference on Re ligion and Peace (WCRP) of fers an inter-religious forum for religious leaders and religiously committed people of all ages, to meet together and to share a primary concern for justice and peace. Through its network of more than twenty national chapters and individual contacts in some sixty countries, WCRP tries to promote interreligious encounters and cooperation throughout the world. Adherents of the following religions are to be found in WCRP: Aboriginal Peoples, Baha’i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, Unitarianism and Zoroastrianism. The international office of WCFU’ in Geneva and New York facilitate and co-ordinate this process. As a non-governmental organization and consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, WCRP

represents an inter-religious voice in the relevant commissions and conferences ofthe U.N. system. To achieve its aim, WCRP seeks cooperation with religious and secular peace organizations in all parts of the world. The membership of WCRP has defined its mission of promoting peace in holistic terms, focussing attention on a variety of conditions necessary for world stability. These are; 1) conflict resolution, 2) disarmament, 3) peace education, 4) human rights, including racial and social justice, as well as equality among men and women, 5) investment in children and youth, 6) assistance to refugees, 7) economic and social development and 8) ecological protection. In its varied approach WCRP tries to address both symptoms and root causes of conflicts; it emphasizes both the international and the inter-religious aspects, and it seeks to work as much on an analytical and political level as well as on a moral and spiritual level.

become the mantra of people like Finance Minister Paul Martin, who last week began giving the people of Canada some hints about the upcoming budget. The government’s goal for 1997 is to have a deficit equivalent to 3% of Canada’s gross domestic product, or about $25 billion. So this simple formula (more revenue, less spending) is the strategy our government intends to use to accomplish this feat.

Theoverwhelmingpovertyand

unemployment figures mean that people are struggling to pay for shelter. In 199 1,over2.2 million households in Canada reported that their housing costs accounted for upwards of 30% of their income, and this figure is rising. The cyclical nature of the problem is frightening. People are out of work; they can’t afford the cost of housing; they are living in poverty. Everyone knows that something needs to be done, but’no one knows what to do. The government has been able to respond effectively to economic crises like these in the past. In the

1940’s, the depression had weakened the construction industry, and with the number ofreturning WWII veterans a severe housing shortage resulted. The federal agency Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) was formed in 1946 to hold mortgages, repair existing structures, and build new houses. The agency is still in existence today. In fact, over 650,000 socia! housing units receive federal as-

As the dust settles around the paper and the headlines die down, we are still left with the questions Axworthy put to his critics: “How do we get programs that get people . back to work? How do we help kids that are living in poor families? How do we have a proper childcare system?” (G/&e, Oct. 7). These are questions that need attention quickly. According to Statistics Canada, 32% of children in Canada live in poverty, and the chiIdren of single parent

to solve our financial problems. We have to somehow build confidences in our economy. We can do that by beginning to look out for ourselves. We need to consider alternatives to our current system, like housing co-ops, community gardens, and co-op child care. We need to change our way of thinking about social responsibility. Because of the meagre social system in the United States,Americans are used to getting together and getting things done. Canadians

62% of

families live in poverty. Almost 40% of those receiving W.J. have claimed unemployment benefits at least three times in the last five years,

The 1994 Canada Year Book predicts that “the need for subsidized housing will increase in coming years” due to “Canada’s aging population and increasing numbers of marriage breakdowns and loneparent families.” Since social programs such asthe CMHC have been targeted to contribute to deficit reduction, the effects may be more dramatic that we realize. Canadians have suRered because of our rehnce on institutions like the CMHC. The social safety net is aptly named. When the money runs out, as it is doing rapidly, we feel lost and discouraged, We all complain that, federally, the Liberals are doing nothing, and that the NDP is doing too much in Ontario.

The premise is simple: a family works together with volunteers to build a house made from donated materials. Funds are raised to pay for the land (if it is not donated) and services.In KitchenerWaterloo, it costs approximately $80,000 to build a Habitat home.

Habitat for Humanity asks only for time and donations, and does not accept govemment money for construction of new houses, renovation or repair of existing dwellings, or general operating expenses.It helps people to escape the cycle of dependence on the government. Habitat has proven to be an effective alternative to social housing programs, and is growing rapidly. A new Habitat home is dedicatedevery 56 minutes, worldwide. When we enable families to build, move into, and pay for a home, we are doing more than making sure they have a roof over their heads. They have confidence, a sense of community, and a sense of social responsibility. Habitat for Humanity works to give a hand up, nut a hand out -- this philosophy applies to all areas of social need. Someday, hopefully, we will join the workforce and pay taxes. We will get angry. We will criticize. Hopefully we will act. You can start now by taking part in alternatives, by thinking about where your money is going and how you can help share some of the burden.

here are lessons in today’s story, lessons that many are learning the hard way. Lesson #l. Wedded bliss may exist, (but apparently not at the Married Student Apartments.) Between October 20th and November lst, Campus Police were called to MSA several times. On Oct. 22, they responded to noise complaints.On the 28th, there was a “fail to remain” ( a car accident where you leave because you think no one saw you). On the 3 1 st, an l&speed bike was stolen. Oh, and back on the 24th, they helped settle an arguement over dog shit. Lesson #2. Locked bikes are no longer safe. Bike parts such as handle bars, chains, tires and derailleurs are being stolen now on a regular basis. Bikes or bike parts were reported stolen on 6 days in a two week period. However, police now have some leads. Three white males were seen outside the Math and Computers building on the 3Oth, apparently trying to steal a bike. They fled when approached. All were approximately 17 years old, and all wore baseball caps. If you see people matching this description near bike racks, call Police Services. On a semi-related note, 2 UW students were arrested for theft recently. They were caught in the act of trying to steal a stop sign in downtown Waterloo. They were charged with thef? under $1000 and possession of stolen property. Lesson #3. People are dumb. A couple of weeks ago, when I last reporfed on the activities of the Campus Police, I tried to make a couple of things quite clear. Evi-

dently, I failed. Number 1. Do not try to get into an on-campus bar with fake I.D. A female student tried it on the 28th. Say goodbye to I.D. and hello toa$105fine. Number 2. Do not try to set off smoke detectors. This went for the guy a couple of weeks ago with the lighter and aerosol can, and it still goes now for the guy who blew an unidentified “white powder” through a straw, into the detector and, of course, set it off. Speaking of fire alarms, the Bombshelter had one on the 22nd.

Another dumb thing not to do in the future: lean against your car with a beer in hand where a cup might just drive past and see you. This happened around 12:30 a.m. on a Rock and Roll night, and the place was packed. An eyewitness says that, in their zeal to evacuate the building,the thoughtful Bomber staff herded people off the patio back into the building so that they could make sure everyone went out the proper fire escapes. Campus Police just say that the evacuation procedure is going

to be reviewed. Another dumb thing to not do in the fLture: lean against your car with a beer in hand in a campus parking lot where a cop just might drive past and see you. Someone was actually caught like this in R lot. ksson #4. Don’t driuk and be 8x1 idiot. This one goes out to a few different students. Most notably to the three guys who used to live in V2 North A. They got drunk and decided to pay a visit to V2. They ended up toilet-papering the washroom and generally bothering everyone who lives there now. This one also goes out to the guys at POETS. On the 28th, some guy took in alcohol, refused to leave when asked, and after being escorted out by officers, ran away. Charges of some sort may be laid here, as the incident is still “under investigation.” Also at POETS, the very next night, 2 guys got drunk, got cut off, got kicked out, and got revenge. Unfortunately, the victims of their revenge were some recycling bins they kicked over and a table they smashed. Good work guys. It’s people like you that give a certain unnameable fzlculty a bad reputation. This last drunken incident could also go in the “people are dumb” section. On the 29th, a visitor to Village drank beer and Tequila. They became “extremely unsteady.” Then, they managed to fall forwards and bang their head on the wall in front of them, before falling backwards and smashing their head on the floor behind them. They were taken to Emergency at the K-W Hospital with suspected neckand head injuries. Fortunately, only a few stitches were required.

Thuringiensis (B.t.), which is used to kill certain insects in forests an urban areas. B-t. is, in its natural form, only toxic to caterpillars, mosquito larvae, and beetle larvae. It can kill

these insects quickly, and with widespread results, once in those insects’ food chains. B.t. is less toxic than many other synthetic insect repellents. However, this does not mean that it can be used indiscriminately.

Bacillus Thuringiensis is a living carcinogen The spores of this bacteria survive

for LID to a year

after

applied. Many people in contact with it have complained of adverse effects like respiratory, eye, and skin irritation, One cornea1 ulcer has been reported after direct contact with

B.t. This is perhaps due to excessive application of this pesticide. As I said earlier, Bt., in its natural form, is toxic only to a few insects. However, when it is in its pure form, it is toxic even to mammals. Little wonder, then, that some people, especially those with respiratory problems, have incurred injuries from this bacteria. Another fact that makes B.t. a less than perfect insecticide is that it is closely related to Bacillus Cerus, which is a bacteria that can cause serious food poisoning, and Bacillus Anthracis, which causes the disease anthrax. Few studies have been conducted to test the carcinogenity, or the mutagenicity (the ability to adapt, and change) of B.t. B-t., as a Desticide. may seem like a natural choice, being a bacterial solution and not a synthetic substance. However, due to the fact that B.t. is a living carcinogen, it might perhaps be more frightening than the others.

Firing Line

acleun ‘s rankings have caused some frustration and consternation among both students and university administrators since their initial appearance in 1991. The rankings themselves pursue an admirable goal -- providing high school students with some indication by which they can judge which school is appropriate for them. This year, thirteen more schools joined two previous universities in refusing to provideMuclean ‘,Ywith the information that the magazine wanted. Such a refusal to participate in the survey can easily be seen as sour grapes since none of the universities who boycotted the survey did particularly well. However, the universities’ refusal to participate should not be dismissed by either Maclean’s or other universities. Although managing editor Ann Dowsett Johnston feels that the focus placed on the universities that did not participate “unfair,” it’s too easy to be happy with 86% of the universities that 5d participate. Ifyou want the rankings to be indicative of all the universities, you have to work to take a look at what those who didn’t like the rankings are saying in order to help improve your work. This year, the rankings should prove more heipfL1 to the boycotting universities :han before, since this was the first year that IMacZean’s provided the methods by which :he rankings were calculated. If the rankings are based on some faulty :alcuIations, the universities upset with IMackan’s should show them where they :hink they went wrong, and how to correct it. However, there’s something more ideo.ogical than facts and figures in the boycott,ng of the ranking systems. The fact of the matter is, Canadians are :oo enamoured with the idea of “equality,” and the concept of some people being better ;han others sits uneasily with these CanadiIllS.

However, inequality is a fact of life, and Aniversities are no exception. Another case where students especially dislike the idea of nequality is when it comes to individual’ mivetsity programs. When the idea ofpriva:izing universities comes up, students will mmediately cringe, citing the United States &sually the way they would say Sodom and Gomorrah) where there exists a “two-tier” iystem of education. Such a system does exist, and must :xist, in Canada. For example, if one wants to go to law ;chool, it’s simply not true that Windsor has ust as good a law program as Dalhousie. 3ven if one could argue that for a particuIar ype of law, or area of specialty Windsor is jetter, it is still not true that the two univer;ities are held in the same regard by CanaGan society. Likewise, a degree in math from Wateroo is preferable to a degree in math from 3uelph. There is nothing wrong with this. Such ;pecializing engenders excellence in certain ields. By concentrating on a few fields and rying to be the best in those areas, universiies are demonstrating a commitment to ex:ellence, instead of attempting to be jacks of 111trades and masters of none. A level of mediocrity is nothing to be )roud of. We encourage and reward people Nhoexcel inspecificareas, as well we shouId. rhose who wish to try and keep Canada, and Zanadian institutions. “equal” in that none ;hould be allowed to excel over others, are whether they realize it or not) trying to keep Canada small. And, due to the normal desire br individuals to better themselves, they are ighting a losing battle.

Extremists, and stupid E

very week since September, the fo rum pages oflmprinthave been filled with letters and comment picccs concerning the implicit messages behind a cartoon. Many people, myself included, are no doubt tired of reading about “The Parking Lot is Full,” tired of reading about what can and can not be inferred from it, and tired of reading responses to letters responding to letters. The latest round of letters, however, has forced me to write. Imprint has so far received six letters about an anonymous comment piece, “The Parking Lot is Full of Inhu-Mans” (October 28). That a single comment piece stirred that much interest is a feat in itself; that it could cause so many people to take it the urrong wqy and still want to write a respon se is really impressive. The article, as a brief editor’s note last week mentioned, was satirical. The author tried to make it as obviously exaggerated as possibIe, to have the flaws so blatant that no one could miss them. So why did he or she fail? Why, after reading such an obviously misguided analysis of a simple cartoon, did

One letter writer(in this week’s issue) used the very tool he felt the article’s author incapable of using, sarcastic exaggeiation, to dismiss the (erroneous) point of the article. He actually almost dealt with one of the issues “Inhu-Mans” meant to raise: the self defeating attitude of paranoidmilitants. But rather than realising the “true” point of the artic le, he assumed the author was one of those paranoid militants who give feminists a bad name. So, to draw an even greater issue out of this trivial debate, is the author still to blame? The person tried to make a point about the criticisms of the cartoon, and failed. Is that the fault of the writer, who was unable to distance him- or herself from the readers’ perceptions of what a “real” paranoid militant might seriously say?

mumans #3 To The Editor, The article “The Parking Lot is Full of InhuMans” makes me wonder about the Author. Was the article written as a tongue-in-cheek stab at how little things can be absurdly over-analyzed? Or does the Author just (badly) need a sense of humour? I suspect the latter. Gee. Maybe I’m not as sophisticated as our Author friend. My impression of the cartoon? There’s this new employee about to make the same stupid mistake that others have made. (It reminded me of that time at the Detroit Zoo when my mother called “Here, Kitty Kitty!” and a bunch of tigers started walking towards her.) I laughed. That’s it... turned the page. Somehow our dear Author, through careti “analysis” of the cartoon, came to the conclusion that “. . . in his efforts to humiliate and torment the woman, the inhu-man in the ‘cartoon’ is making a splish-splash sound with the water, mimicking the sound of the rape it is implied he has just put the Torment? woman through . . .” Humiliation? Rape? In the author’s mind, maybe. All I saw was fish food in a uniform. And what the hell is an “Inhu-man”? Is this some sort of derogatory term for a male human? I wonder if our Author friend likes the term “Feminazi.” (That’s a derogatory term for people who strive to correct gender inequities by replacing them with new ones. It should be used sparingly, whenever necessary.) The Author drew some pretty venomous stereotypes about role relationships between women and men in our society. There is even assumption of the very natures of men and women. (Be sure to have a bucket handy if you I-e-read the article.) Why is it necessary to automatically categorize people according to their sex, anyway? Except for the obvious physical deviations -- we are mammals, afier all -- what is so different between men and women? (Maybe I was absent when the HowTo Discrimination Handbooks were passed around.) My friends are my friends. I wouldn’t treat them differently according to what is in their jeans. I am glad I don’t live in the world that our Author seems to think that (s)he lives in. And I’m glad to appreciate people without getting uptight about everybody’s sex. And above all else -- I’m thankhI to have a sense of humour.

I must confess that I never would have associated an all-mouth smelly fish with a phallic symbol. But, trying to give the author a fair trial, I attempted to suspend my disbelief and put myself in the author’s world where piranha teeth “are clearly” phallic symbols. I decided to spend a day in “Phallic World.” I rose from my bed, using a short-stubby dick to open my door. I then headed to the washroom where I took my morning dump on a porcelain vulva. Once finished, I flushed and the lever automatically went back up the aroused state. Ready for the next man to come and take a dump. I then went to take my morning shower- Turning ‘to let the water run down my face I stared directly into a blatant phallic symbol. And as the penis continued to ejaculate nature’s life source all over my body I began to realize society’s evil male pervasiveness. Returning to my room I used a dick-on-a-stick to control my perspiration and for good measure I ejaculated a small squirt of Sahara on my neck. On my walk to school I noted the huge dildos running the cities life source to the many small houses and I noticsd how flaccid dicks, with a mere flash of light, controlled the many cocks on wheels that people use to get to work. Overwhelmed by this blatant male sexuality I almost tripped over a small metal dick that fire fighters rely on to put out fires. When suddenly, it hit me. What is a phallic symbol? Anything taller than it is wide . . . I’m a penis! You’re a penis! We’re all walking penises! Kinda puts a whole new spin on the Doctor Pepper song. On a more serious note, as a male feminist I feel that the “Inhu-man” article trivializes the essence of true feminism. It gives feminism a bad name. Surely the progress that womyn have made in the last 50 years has not been so insignificant, so negIigible as to be undermined by a mere cartoon. The unknown author promulgates the femi-nazi stereotype of womyn as paranoid, hysterical, shrill harpies screaming metaphorica rape at non-existent threats to their existence. The same militants who put the 9-N in womyn. The author must realize this is thus too scared to reveal her (his?) identity. In our constant quest for equality, we have to get past this whining victim paranoia and save the moral outrage for something that matters. “The Parking Lot is Full” is a cartoon, ofien a stupid cartoon, It is not a modem day version of Hitler’s Mein Kumpf:

#6 To the Editor, Ifmy math’s correct, this should be about the tenth letter in response to Name withheld by request’s October 28 letter to the editor conceming the inhu-mans (shouldn’t that be inhu-men?) in the piranha-infested Parking Lot. First off, if that letter was a satire of the multitude received regarding the now infamous Sept. 23 The Parking Lot is Full - it failed miserably. Either that, or I misinterpreted the letter altogether, or I missed its conclusion elsewhere in the Imprint. If so, please disregard the remainder of this unnecessary letter. If that letter was not a satire, maybe the author should rethink the thinking behind his or her thoughts. Looking at this cartoon, I see (again if I have gravely misinterpreted the letter or the cartoon, please disregard my letter - God forbid I accidentally offend anyone - oops, so much for that idea. I apologize to all aetheists and others who don’t believe in God.) Where was I....1 see a rather badly disfigured humanoid-type person saying (for I believe her mouth is not “clearly sewn shut”), “You must be new here.” to another humanoid-type person who is wiggling his delectible worm-like fmger before a rather mean-looking piranha while taunting said ‘fishie fishie fish’. If this is indeed the case, the cartoon is very amusing and unoffensive - I think. The way I see it, if the finger wiggler was the one saying, “You must be new here.“, the cartoon would be stupid - not funny - but again, that’s just me.

I do not believe the cartoonist’s intent was an extremely sexist and pathetic cartoon meant to offend society in geneml. Face it, it was funny - I laughed out loud - ha ha. Besides, I can’t believe anyone could intentionally produce the extensive symbolism you find in the cartoon. If this isn’t the case, the cartoonist should be shot at sunrise, drawn and quartered, ‘hung from the closest tree, and a few other nasty things. In closing, you, and likely a few others, seem to have an over-active imagination and think everyone’s out to get you, so give your head a shake. Granted society’s going to hell in a hand car, but you don’t have to get out and push. And if (notice all the ‘ifs in this letter - wow) I’ve inadvertently offelnded anyone - tough - life’s a bitch and then you die.

Y&m truly, tory Zurell 2B Civ Eng Ed&&s Note: That hopefully ends the wonderful plethora of letters supporting, attacking, and mentioning either “The Parking Lot is Full” cartoon or other people’s opinions about it and its relevence to your lives.

#5 To The Editor:

#4 To the Editor, WhenImprintpublishedits four-weekdildochainsaw debate, I thought they had reached the depth of pedantry. I was wrong. I read the article “The Parking Lot is Full of Inhu-Mans” (Ott 28) only to see rabid-dogma raise its ugly head once more. How the unidentified author managed to convert a simple, and admittedly stupid cartoon to an all out attack on the very essence of womyn, I’ll never understand. Conducting a Freud-on-acid analysis, this unnamed author has managed to convince herself (or himself?) that a womyn who has suffered a “loss of fingers,” “loss of a breast,” “loss of an eye,” and “loss of mouth” is somehow the male ideal for womyn. I know that’s how I’d describe my dream date. The author goes on to say “And how, of course, can we ignore the logo on the woman’s hat: ‘Pet World’? The message is very clear: she lives in a world of pets. she is, in fact, a pet of men, a by-toy.” Adults Only Video should be warned that it’s oligopoly is in jeopardy by Pet Stores everywhere providing live sex toys. Since the man in the cartoon is wearing the same hat indicating “‘boy-toy” at least we can praise the authors for being equal opportunity for hetero- or homosexual men.

I readwith great delight the letter in your Oct. 28 issue entitled “The Parking Lot is Full of Inhumans.” I have not read satire this good since the late, unlamented, L. Ron Hubbard published his M&ion Earth series. In fact, the idea of a caricature of the feminist perspective using an amateur cartoon published in a university newspaper approaches the level of brilliance of Swift’s ‘A Modest Proposal .” Truly, from the erroneous opening cqmments about the cartoon “... advocating the sexual attack of women with dildo/hacksaws,” through the creation of a new noun from the adverb “inhuman” to the final silliness about “the inhu-man in the ‘cartoon’ making a ‘splish splish’ sound with the water, mimicking the soynds ofrape...,” this letter was a rollicking, roller coaster ride of fun. A veritable bullet train of non-stop belly-laughs. Whoever it was that said the arts were in danger at this “heartless school of science and engineering” should read this letter and take heart, for it demonstrates that someone out there is alive and well, and writing creatively. There is one thing which puzzles, though; the fact that the author desired anonymity. If I could write satire this inspired, if I could bring such joy and laughter to the University population, I would trumpet the fact proudly to the world. Andrew Physics

[II)

fter Islam gave slaves their spiritual freedom, dignity, and brotherhood with their masters, it set rules to protect He who them from being abused physically or psychologitally. “And be good to the parents and to the near of (your) kin and the orphans .. and those whum your right hands possess”(4:36). Notice how the Qur’an avoid the use of the word ‘slave.’ The Prophet (PBUH) also said: ‘ He who kills his slave, we shall kill him; who cuts his nose, we shall cut his nose; and who gelds his slave we shall geld him.’ So slaves were no more ‘things’ that the owner could do what ever he likes to, but rather human beings that had the right of retaliation to injustice, a right that was protected by the state itself? Then came the final step, the actual liberation of slaves. This was achieved via two ways: voluntary emancipation by the masters as atonement for sins or

just to please Allah, and self-purchasing. Both means led to the freeing of very large numbers of slaves. The Prophet (PBUH) set an example by freeing all the slaves he owned. In fact, he appointed an ex-slave of his as a leader of an army that contained many muslims from very noble ancestry. In the second method, all the slave had to do was ask for his/her freedom in return for a price! The master has no choice but to accept. Starting from that moment, the slave would get paid for any service s/he rendered (to the master or anyone else). The slave would pay the master his/her own price on an instalmcnt basis (pay-as-you-can basis). As the verse above indicates, the state would help those slaves to pay their debts out ofthe Public Excheqkills his uer, something that was never done by any other nation before or after the Islamic state. Islam prohibited all the sources of slaves that existed except for one: prisoners of war. Islam, however, never commanded Muslims to enslave their POWs. Interestingly enough, the only Qur’anic verse that touches the fate of POWs does not mention slavery at all! “And afterwards either set them free as a favour or let them ransom themselves until the war lays down its weapons” (47:4).

Remembrance Dav Fellow

Students,

he Royal Canadian Legion is asking for support during its annual poppy campaign in conjunction with Remembrance Day. I think it is more important, however, to realize that the poppy is not just an item that the majority of Canadians feel embarrassed appearing in public without during the weeks prior to November 11. As we are all well aware, the poppy symboIizes respect for the women and men who lost their lives during both World Wars and the Korean War. When we wear the red poppy, we acknowledge both the dead and the survivors of these turbulent battles as we stress the message that bloodshed is not the answer to any problem. I ask all students who choose to wear the red poppy to also take into consideration the issues from the past that are still alive today. Remember that racism is far from being eliminated. In fact, both racism and prejudice are more dominant now than they ever were before. Please remember the unjust slaughtering of European Jews, physically and mentally challenged individuals, and homosexuals, and take into consideration the hatred that

Far too often we forget the instrumental role that women played during the war. Throughout the majority of war documents, the part that women played is often trivialized although their efforts were equal with the soldiers’. Even in today’s society, as progressive as it is, women are not given equal rights. Lest we forget that the words misogyny and oppression are still prevalent in all aspects of society and it is up to everyone to eliminate these terms in order to create a brighter future. When we wear the red poppy, we acknowledge all that we must remember and all that we must change.

never thought anything would have corn pared to Village Residence life, but in a way I was wrong. I am fortunate to be living in a townhouse north of campus beside what I believe to be one of the most interesting communities in North America. When my roommates and I moved in last fall the area seemed innocuous enough, except for the hundreds of kids underfoot and the copious amounts of garbage spread over front lawn and back yard. It seemed like an average, generic community. Less than a weeklater my opinion had changed. We were living beside a messed-up, White Trashneighbourhood. The first peculiarity we noticed was the junk mail. Never before had any of us received so much in so little time. Every week we receive enough to make a telephone book with. It doesn’t even come just once a day; it comes continuously at the rate of about ,one item per hour during both day and night. The second thing that struck me as odd was the preponderance of crummy old American cars, particularly rusting Camaros and Mustangs. While cycling down the street one day Inoticed that both sides of the street were covered by a solid band of oil, the result of years of leaking cars parked on them. While driving around downtown one night I spotted a hilarious old rusty Camaro that hadoversize tires, nitrous oxide, a metallic red foil-covered dashboard, garters hanging from the rearview mirror, and a chain steering wheel. Imagine my surprise when I discovered later that’ week that its home was one street over from me, and better yet, it was for sale. At this point I began to suspect the White Trash nature of the nearby community. My suspicions were driven home by the number of domestic disputes that I could hearthrough my bedroom window-husbands yelling at wives, wives yelling at husbands, parents yelling at children and pets, and children at parents, children, and pets. It was either get in the house now dammit, you stupid idiot!” or a kid hammering on his front door while his parents yelled

yelling “Jimmy, you

from inside “No Craig! You’re notallowed in the house until nine o’clock! Now buzz off!” I’m beginning to take the peculiar nature of my community in stride. Yesterday a big yellow pickup with all the trimmings, including oversize tires taller than me, drove by at high speed with two toddlers standing in the back. I shook my head and laughed. I barely notice the frequent sounds of peeling rubber now - many of my neighbours find itnecessary to lay rubber and put on a smoke show even ifthey’re only going out to pick upsome groceries. The road is black with skidmarks. Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of the community is its faith in Christian values, or more accurately, the amount of religious pamphlets and newsletters that it produces and consumes. The first week I was here we received a rag from the Jehovah’s Witnesses which proved irrefutably “the connection between heavy metal music and the devil.” A week doesn’t go by without the announcement of another Bible Study or Bible Camp. More curious - and alarming - is the appearance of the “Super Bus,” a blue school buswith no windows which seems to serve as a mobile religious movie theatre. I find it parked on the curb a few blocks down many mornings when I bike to class. The Broom Lady tops it all off. I spotted her early in the fall, but it was weeks before I realized that she too lives in the neighbourhood. She appears to be a disgruntled figure who is dirty, dresses funny, carries several brooms, scowls, and shambles around the community ceaselessly, day and night. I have come to be proud of my community in that, regardless of where I am in the region, if I see a freak I can say with confidence that they are probably my neighbour. I have adjusted to the domestic disputes and think that without them something would be lacking from my evenings. I am fortunate to have, by chance, chosen to live beside a dramatically different subculture, and expandmyrealmofexperience by having known them. It is very amusing. - Stephen

Nothing in life is fair T

uesday was an interim election day for the United States and the big issue was crime. Politicians of both parties postured to show just who could be toughest on this nagging problem. Although police statistics state that crime has actually decreased over the last couple of years, public opinion has swung the opposite way, forcing poll watching pols to act threatening and support the death penalty and longer sentences. It doesn’t seem to matter that neither threat actually seems to have any impact on those who actually commit the crimes. Criminals don’t think they will get caught and do whatever immediately gratifies their needs. Crooks aren’t the best long term thinkers; they are short on the “vision thing,” as George Bush says. But then again, criminals don’t vote that much either: politicians don’t have to worry about alienating their vote. It’s hard to make it to the polling station when you are on the lam. Besides, criminals don’t mix well with white middle class people, the ones who do show up at the local school gym to cast their ballot. These are the same people who complain most about crime and its cousin, violence. If crime really is down as the numbers would have us believe, why is the fear of crime at hysterical levels? Could it have something to do with violence and crime on TV and the movies? Research shows that heavy TV watchers believe that the world is a more violent place than it really is. Isolated acts of violence such as the tragic “Just Desserts” incident are given disproportionate attention on the evening news, further alienating citizens from their community and re-enforcing their belief that they are living on the verge of a war zone. This zone is invariably the inner city and the victims and cuiprits are often non-white. This unfortunate situation is echoed and mirrored in the prime time cop shows and reality-based pseudo-documentaries like the Fox network’s Cops. This is a show that should really be called Class, as it almost always portrays middle class white cops arresting lower class young black males. Sometimes the races are reversed and middle class black cops pick up lower class white trash, but this is in the minority and often seems like a token gesture. This is highly ironic given the fact that the Fox network has specifically targeted the black audience as a demographic group through sit-corns like Martin, In Living Cblor and Living Single. Fox executives know through ratings research that African Americans log more hours in front of the tube than do whites, regardless of either’s cIass. Through shows likecops, AngloAmericans assume that those same young black males are the perpetrators ofviolent crime. Paranoid suburbanites are the real victims of violence on TV. They are the ones who are afraid to walk after dark, avoid downtown cores and build isolated and walled private This enclaves with limited access. bunker mentality is not exclusive to demonized cities like Detroit and Miami, but is also now being recreated north of Toronto. Delusional thinking Certain black knows no boundary. activists also say that this situation is emblematic of systemic racism. Monday, one suchactivist, Lennox Farrell, supported the NDP govemment’s proposal to create an alternative justice system 02: “diversion program” for young black males to keep them from languishing in courtrooms for first time non-violent offenses. Farrell say that opposition to this idea stems from an “extremely conservative view that doesn’t allow oppmtunities for exApparently Farrell perimentation.” thinks that the law should not have to apply to certain groups like it does to everyone else. In his view experimentation means not having to be responsible for your actions as a legal adult.

This is completely demeaning and infantilizes young men struggling to find their place in a complex society that is hostile to many, not just specified groups. “These black youths need something in addition to what is available . Nobody can deny the fact that when you walk into courtrooms everyday across the city you see black males languishing there mostly for petty crimes,” Farrell said. Black lawyer Thora Espinet rightly finds this idea ludicrous. She says, “I don’t want different treatment, I want equal treatment.” To follow Farrell’s line of thinking seine people would become more equal than other people. George O.well’sAnimaZ Farm gives an excellent illustration of what happens when one goup feels that the rules do not apply to them. Guelph 1awyerT. Sher Singh adds, “Why should special treatment be given to black kids or kids of any particular color or ilk?” And who qualifies as black according to Lennox Farrell? What if someone was only part black: would they qualify, or would they not be black enough? Would the govemment then have to issue racial identification so that some could receive different treatment from alternative justice systems? In a very sickening way it starts to sound like the old apartheid of South Africa. Director of Ontario’s Office of Youth Justice, Dick Barhorst says that the proposal is under review and that a similar service exists for natives and the mentally ill, The connection between aboriginal and blacks is tenuous at best, but to compare the situation of young blacks to the mentally ill is utterly demeaning and degrading. This proposal will be challenged by various groups for its disregard for the constitution. The vast majority of blacks in Ontario are recent immigrants from the last twenty years. Unlike many blacks in America, they came to Canada of their own free will and economic selfinterest, Assimilation into a new society and culture is difficult and awkward. It also takes a long time. No legislation or governmental mollycoddling will make the adjustment to a new country any easier in the long run; it only leads to resentment and backlash from the less recent immigrants. On a personal level, my paternal grandfather emigrated from Ukraine before the first world war. Eastern Eu-

because.

ropean immigrants occupied the lowest rung on the social ladder and were derisively called Bohunks. During the war he was imprisoned by the Canadian government in a labour camp in northem Ontario simply because of his nationality. He was a working man with a poor command of English. Eventually he married and had, children who through hard work and determination secured a better life than he had himself. Societal assimilation was long and arduous in intensely WASPish Ontario. Many people still have no idea how to pronounce my surname properly. I also took a lot of abuse for it in grade school. Use your imagination. My mother of Irish descent sti 11gets comments on her married name From rude bank clerks .and the like after thirty years. The Irish (especially Catholics) are another group who once occupied the lowest strata of society but overcame society’s bias over a long period of time. There is not much you can do about other people’s ignorance but ignore it and get on with your life. I certainly realize that I am not a visible minority like a black or asian person in North America’s eurocentric society. I will never know their experience because I don’t look like a visible minority. Even though I am very far removed from my grandfather’s situation, 1do not expect to be compensated for his internment. It was an ugly period in Canadian hilstory that is best left in the past. The government cannot COTrect forpeople’s ignorance without paying a high cost. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, goes the cliche. My fathler had another one he used to say to me and my brothers: “nothing in lik is fair.” I absolutely hated hearing that as a kid. But it is one of the most pro.found and truthful statements about life anyone could make. Life is basically unfair, paraphrasing John F. Kennedy. If only the self-appointed do-gooders of government and special interest groups could come to grips with this fact, we could start to address society’s real problems of chronic unemployment, political cynicism and spiritual malaise. Nothing in life is fair, get used to it and get on with changing your own life. Proto-rapper and jazz musician Gil Scott Heron said it best. “The revolution starts in the bathroom mirror.”

She shudders, her body shakes and then bursts into tears. Her pride is shattered from having to explain the crime committed upon herself. She was a victim of gang-rape. Outside the room where the act occurred, her friends were confused, shocked and mesmerized about what had just happened. They knew the two hockey players, and could never have imagined they would do something like this. Just over three weeks ago, two Wilfrid Laurier hockey players were charged with gang sexual assault. Both apparently tied up a young woman, beat her with a weapon, and performed sexual acts upon her without her consent. “The boys were just out to have a good time,” “She invited them both to have sex with her and things got out of control.” “They wanted a good story for the rest of the team.” These are just a few things I’ve heard about the incident from people I’ve talked to, believe it or not. Sexual assault or harassment has no place in university sport, but unfortunately, it’s one of the places it still exists in society. Three years ago, a similar event at McGill gained national attention, as two students were charged with gang sexual assault. That’s three years ago, and nothing has changed.

thing. The members of the hockey team are some of the most popular people at school. The players are good, the team wins and they gain notoriety. For some, along with notoriety comes an attitude. The old BMW syndrome (Big Man On Campus) kicks in. They are on a high and don’t want to come down. Attempting to keep egos high, these players succumb to peerpressure. Often men feel they need to prove their self-worth both on and off the field, and they think “scoring chicks” is the best way for them to do it. In the locker room, women are often considered objects. I know this is true from time spent as a reporter and a high school football player. “Ya, I picked up this bitch, took her back to my place, and a#$% her brains out.” There’s always one or two guys vocal enough that makes the others believe it’s acceptable. After a while, it becomes the norm among the entire team, even though

king, and think they can do what they want. In the case of the Laurier boys, their royal right included sexual assault. Solutions are needed. And the first place to start is the coach. Coaches have more responsibility than just training good athletes. They are looked up upon, and most players trust them almost as much as their parents. I’ve heard the word “class” being used by many coaches when describing their team. How about making them show some in the locker room as well as in the public eye. Five years ago, my football coach brought in a video on sexual assault, and had us watch it. “I have to show you this guys, don’t give me a hard time. It’s not my choice, it’s the school’s? Because of his attitude, most guys laughed through it. “It’s guy talk. I used to be like that when I played,” say many coaches. This attitude sucks! It’s the not the fifties, it’s the nineties and if sexist remarks are made, the coach should do something about it. As for the players, trophies are earned on the field, not in the bars, at parties, or in their rooms.

thing

Sa wks Sports section --notice any empty bleachers-attests to the lack of fan support which plagues every sport at the varsity level. This lack of enthusiam is very real at this level of competition which makes me question the validity of supporting varsity athletics. In the world of funding problems and extreme cutbacks the first cut at this university should be varsity sports. Not only do few students care for watching varsity sports, but even less actively participate in them. Possibly if sports events were just that, an event, people would be more inclined to give support. However, watching mediocre

experience

teams battling it out only to lose is not a great inducer for pulling money out of one’s pocket. Nothing against the athletes themselves, but they’ve got to accept the delusion of their empty fantasies that will never happen; namely, that loads of adoring fans will praise them, and that they’ll make lots of cash. None of this will ever happen at UW. Personally, if the money that went into

Warrior basketball loses 87-72 by Kim Imprint

Moser Sports

t was a disappointing day for the Warriors last weekend as they lost 87-72 to the Ryerson Rams in a pre-season warm-up for the Naismith Classic that starts tonight. “We lacked physical and mental toughness in this game,” said coach Tom Kieswetter. “With two rookies starting we were bound to make mistakes.” One of the rookies Mike Straiter has had a very good preseason and will be a starter the in Naismith tournament tonight. Kieswetter is expecting big things from this 6’7 rookie, who hails from St. Mary’s in Kitchener, and the rest of his new players.

shot down bv Mustanzs

Western Yates

“We exposed our weakness in this game,” said Kieswetter who obviously hopes to correct these mistakes and improve the entire team for the games this weekend. Kieswetter predicts Brock to be top in the West division of the OUAA this season with Ryerson the favourite in the Eastern division. Scoring superstar Sean Van Kougnett led the Warriors in scoring against Ryerson collecting 17 points and 19 rebounds. Mark Hopkins also added I8 points and 9 rebounds for the Waterloo. The Naismith tournament will feature the many of the top teams in the nation and aside from the Canadian version of the final four, it’s the top tournament.

ust when you thought an eightyminute overtime game between Laurier and the Warriors was enough, along comes a football’s all-time nail-biter of a contest. The University of Western Mustangs did Waterloo revenge by knocking the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks off their drive to the Vanier Cup, winning the Yates Cup 38-36, The Western victory enables the Mustangs to travel to Lennoxville, Que. to take on the Bishop’s Gaiters, the 0QIFC surprise champions.

wins Cup

The winner of fomorrow’s game will play the Huskies, from either Saskatchewan or St. Mary’s for the Vanier Cup, set for next weekend at Skydome in Toronto. It was the first time in four tries that Western won the Yates Cup, and judging from both the game and the rankings, the Mustangs have defeated their toughest opponent. Laurier was ranked 2nd in the country, and many feel they were watching the real Vanier Cup game. “They should change the playoff system,” said Tom Walker, 43, who watched his home-town Hawks go down in defeat with only 19 seconds left in the game. “This was one hell of a game,

that’s

for sure.” The Mustangs were led by Warren Goldie who comDleted 28 of 46 pass attempts for 4b7 yards. 1992 CIAU Rookie-of the-Year Sean Read carried the ball 25 times for 145 yards. Bill Kubas said farewell to his fans in style, completing 29 of 53 yards for 412 yards. Kubas, the CIAU all-time passing leader, played his last game as a Hawk, and is one of the leading candidates for the CIAU player of the year. Over 6,000 fans took in Saturday’s game, and over 35,000 are expected for next week’s Vanier cup.

hat a finish! It was as though the junior varsity Warriors saved their best game for last Saturday - but it just wasn’t enough. Western was able to break the Warrior defence for the first and only time with just five minutes left in regulation to take the game away from a deserving Waterloo team. The heartlP breaking Western try made the final a verv tieht 8-3. Saturday’s game, the OUAA .TV championship game was described by some as “the best game we’ve seen all year.” Departing vetDerek eran Featherstone said of the game, “I haven’t seen a better JV game in my five years here.” The Waterloo man, prop team that took the front field was a combination of inexperienced rookies, some second year players and a couple of veterans to oversee the whole thing. Some apprehension existed about the squad’s chances for victory, this being the team,s first look at ‘A’ division competition all year.

up just rude awakening. The Warriors Let them and all the fans know they were in for a hell of a game. The JV Warriors were up right from the start, winning the ball back from the opening the kick-off, with a ruck that the varsity team would be proud to call it’s own. They then pinned the stunned Mustang team inside their own 22 metre line for the next ten minutes. The explosive start sent a confi-

more impressive, and their eventual defeat so difficult to take. Featherstone, team captain, said “ it was so close all the afterwards, way through, and to hear the ref blow the [final] whistle, then you kurew it was over.” Regrettably, the conditions played their part in handcuff-ing the Warrior back line, not allowing them to run some of the things they would have liked to. Had it been a dry day, the result may well have been As It was, the only scoring Waterloo acould manage was a penalty kick early in second the half. That kick matched an earlier Western penalty and held the score tied at 3-3 until the 65 minute mark of the game when Western managed to score the deciding try. Such an excellent performance leaves Warrior players and coaches alike with a sweet taste in their mouths - the sweetness of potential victory next season. Witli almost the entire team from

Throughout the course of the game the Warriors continued to show their heart and determination, putting up excellent defensive goal line stands on two separate occasions. One of those was turned into an offensive effort that took Waterloo down inside the Western 22. It was that ‘never-give-up’ attitude that made the JV effort all the

Warriors look for their first win of the season this weekend by Kimberly Moser Imprint sports

he hockey

Warriors hit the road this weekend in hopes of their first win. Waterloo will take its O-2-2 record into games against Queen’s and RMC. “I’m dreading going down there,” said head coach Don MC Kee. “These are going to be two of the toughest games for us. We need to focus. We can’t afford to lose. To win we need to play 60 minutes of the best mental hockey.” Queen’s (l-4) and RMC (O-5) have improved drastically in the past year. Both their goals against averages are down and they seem to be scoring a lot more. It looked like it was going to be a very successtil season for the Warriors as they won the Octoberfest and Western pre-season tournaments. “In the pre-season tournaments we looked like a hockey team with outstanding focus and work ethic,” commented coach Don McKee. ‘cHowever their two losses to Michigan and Notre Dame distracted us from what our purpose was and effected our discipline.” After two ties to start the season off the Warriors hoped to break

league. An outstanding goalie who can be in there night after night.” McKee feels that the powerplay unit has been inconsistent so far this season. “If they would have been more productive they could have helped us win. We need to take advantage of the opposition penalties. A power-play unit is like an orchestra, you must all be in synch to make music. Lately we have had some guys who were out of tune.” McKee has made some personnel changes to the power-play unit this week. He hopes that the hard work and extra time in practice that these players have put in will help it make music. Despite the disappointing start to the season one Warrior has had a very strong start to the season. “Dean McDonald has a big heart,” commented McKee. “He is 5’7 but plays like he’s 6’8. We need everyone to play like that and have such a great work ethic.” McDonald leads the team in scoring and is a consistent leader for the Warriors. Captain Geoff Schneider is still suffering the effects of a broken wrist he suffered in the Octoberfest tournament. He continues to play with it taped but since he is not 100% he is a little inconsistent.

Windsor he Lancers were the first team to feel the wrath of the Black Plague, in regular season, as they rolled into the Waterloo gymnasium on Wednesday, and then rolled back out again after losing three games straight. The volleyball Warriors utterly dominated the Lancers in each of the three games, winning 15-3, 15-7, and 15-6. Head coach Ed Price was pleased with his team’s performance, saying that they “looked solid.” The main concern going into this years season was defence. Price said, going into the season, that he would like to see the team improve all aspects of its game, but Higher, “defence was the focal area that needed help.” Defence he wanted and defence he got, as the Warriors held highly touted Windsor to only 16 points over three games. When asked about the competim

Their next game against York was as McKee put it “like something out of control.“The 8-1 score was the Warriors biggest loss in about eight years. “It was a situation where we couldn’tbuy a goal and they seemed to everytime they shot.” “In such a short university season it’s disappointing. It’s critical for the guys to know that we can’t get in a situation where you don’t win. In Junior B you play 60 games and can afford to have a bad game but in university you can’t do that.” said an obviously disappointed McKee. The concern right now for Waterloo is goaltending and the power-play unit. Over the last four games there have been three different goalies start. McKee knows that his goalies are young and will shift the three of them until he finds one that he feels has the confidence to become the starter. “We don’t have just one with the confidence and experience yet and that’s what you need in this

TheyMight~aveBeenGian They Might Be Giants w/ Frente! and Frank Black The Music Hull, Toronto Saturday,

November

t first it may seem like an odd combination, ex-Pixie Frank Black and Aussic happy popsters Frente! opening for They Might Be Giants. However, when you consider that although only TMBG proudly wear the “quirky” label, you have to admit that Frank Black does sometimes swerve in that direction and Frente!‘s cover of New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle” probably counts them in as well. The show itself was uniformly good, however the headliners TMBG showed that their recent stuff doesn’t have the. same energy as the older songs. The first performer of the night was a solo Frank Black who started playing as a lot of the crowd was still trickling in and the house lights weren’t turned down all the way. Both of these things made it seem like it was still the soundcheck. Black showed off his personal expertise on the guitar playing a selection from his post-Pixies life. To prove he was “quirky” enough to be on the bill he covered “Duke of Earl” and didn’t take guitars off once he played

them, so at one point I counted 5 guitars around his body plus the one hc was playing. Frente! quickly hit the stage next playing mostly material from Marvin the Album, which the band announced has reached gold status in Canada. On stage the band centres around singer Angie Hart and guitarist and occasional singer Simon Austin, who are also responsible for writing most of the songs. They had a good rapore with the audience, surprising for a relatively young band in a place where the audience is seated far away from you. My favourite parts of the show were when the bass player and drummer would leave the stage, leaving Hart and Austin alone to do such songs such as “Girl” and “Labour of Love”. Hart’s voice is melodic but still it can get on your nerves after a while and the 50 minutes they were on pretty much hit my tolerance level. TMBG hit the stage with the band with which they recorded their latest album John Henry. I don’t know if its just that I am not as familiar with their new material

their

stuff,

but

the

new songs had a certain sameness which got tiresome after a while. They started out by playing most of their biggest songs in“Istanbul (not cluding Constantanoble),” “Don’t Let’s

Start” and “Ana Ng.” After this however they were left with playing a lot of stuff from the new album which the audience wasn’t as familiar with, combined with the fact the audience was sitting and during the night most of the 6 members of the band had some extended solos, there seemed to be a few in audience who were wishing for the old days. The band, consisting of bassist Tony Maimone, drummer Brian Doherty and horn section Kurt Hoffman and Steven Bernstein was good enough, but there is something about playing with a band that takes away from the TMBG sound. John Linnell spent far too much time behind the keyboards for my taste, he only strapped on the accordion for the older songs. A lot of time was devoted to each member of the band getting a solo during songs, this seems like a bit of overkill as they ended off with Edgar Winter Group’s “Frankenstein” during which everybody again got a solo. During the set, they mostly played songs from their ‘two previous albums Flood and ApoE 18, not going any further back than this. Frank Black came back joining in for one song where he got to do yet another guitar wank. The stage set up was as quirky as the band with streetlights, park benches and giant metre tall blow-ups of the girl’s face from

Then again, they might be midgets. the cover of John Henry. They ended off the main set with “Birdhouse of my Soul” and “Dig my Grave,” it was here that the crowd fought the power and collectively stood up and started dancing. This exposed the fact that you have to be able to dance to really enjoy TMBG and perhaps this venue wasn’t best suited to their type of show. The encore started off with

of one of the best songs off of John Henry “The End of the Tour,” then “Snail Shell,” and the aforementioned “Frankenstein.” TMBG should have easily been the best band this night, however given all the reasons &UVG some of which were their own doing (plentifil band solos) some of which were thrust upon them (fixed seating venue) they were only as good as the other performers that night.

Asked about a favourite venue that Russ has played in he says, “Well, I think that our ideal venue to play in is in the sense of something like the Commodore in Vancouver, we’ve played that a few times, but so far one of the better gigs was Lee’s Palace. “In fact it was a great gig. The house was packed and that allowed us to have a great audience atmosphere which made us feel great and made the show really enjoyable for us.” As to the hopeful titure of Salvador Dream, Russ certainly wouldn’t mind being a big time

incorporated in their music? They usually jam and come up with a tune, and then Russ takes that and brings some words to it, “sometimes that works and others it just doesn’t.” It’s important for Russ to have direction over the guitar and vocals because he likes singing and doesn’t want to give it up to anyone. Some of the songs are based on experiences, “like the fact I was beat up a tot during high school because I was introverted and wouldn’t react to being picked on.” Asked about the thinking behind putting on a ‘hidden’

He enjoys video production, and he thinks it’s important to keep musical integrity while using this marketing accessory. He says that he really likes the Soundgarden videos that are out, observing that they take the music to a different level, without sacrificing the song, while allowing the band to have an extra way to express themselves, “Like those are big budget videos that they have, but if we can get that kind of stuff across for our songs, that’s cool .” When questioned about his preference for playing live, doing studio work or just jamming, he talked of them as being all part of a musician, and that he doesn’t really have one he likes the most. Though most of their creativity comes out of the jamming, the live gigs give them the opportunity to let other people enjoy themselves. Russ enjoys the studio work because of the opportunity to work with Drexel Moliere, their engineer, and one that he respects and brings out new stuff to hash over and incorporate in their

What you get is one of today’s best outlets for a reemerging soul-generated sound first heard in the seventies. Since he began touring, John Popper of Blues Traveller has had a unique ability to draw in each person listening to his wild harp-riffs. And Last Friday was no exception. Playing to a sold-out crowd, Blues Traveller gave concertgoers what they were looking for- an energetic performance from one of the emerging bands of the nineties.

While performing “Conquer me” fi-om their last album Save his So& the band notified the crowd they were “ the coolest fans they had on tour.” I couldn’t help but remember the Simpson’s episode where Spinal Tap says the exact thing to Bart and the gang from Springfield.

I got flack for not being black, sometimes because they expected me to be black... they weren’t ready for it and couldn’t really appreciate what was going on.” Since then they’ve received the prestigious international Edison Award for Blues/R&B. “I couldn’t believe it man,” exclaims Gordie. “They hated us.

Gordie’s deep bluesy vocals were evocative and expressive in every song but this; here he sounded flat and the song never fit in with the rest of Big Sugar’s more disciplined repertoire. “Ride Like Hell,” however, righted things and tied up the set with blaring guitars and drums, and for their first encore they came back more lively than ever with a little freestyle jam around “AAA Aardvark Hotel .” Such is illustrative of the great leap forward that Johnson feels is the only way for blues to go.

“Blues is a music who’s time is past,” he says. “You can’t it back.” At the same time, Johnson clarifies, “I’m not saying it should be ignored.. . the essence of blues has been around long before they called it blues -- before it was a commercial element. I’m going to think of it in its essence. So, what ever music I’m going to play as long as it’s coming from me it’ll have that essence.” If their Kitchener show was any indication, fans can look forward to lots more of that poweM essence for many years to come. bring

This band of three talented guys haifs from Kingston, and are known especially for the title track off their first album Today, I Hate Everyone. This song, which even has a video occasionally played on Much Music, took a place early in their set, and pumped their audience up for a round of lesser known songs.

by Pat Merlihan Imprint staff Depending entirely on Gord Downie has placed The Tragically Hip at the forefront of Canadian music in the recent past and where they’ll probably remain for a number of years. Downie’s knack for solid and catchy lyrics, as well as his unique singing and commanding stage presence has made the Kingston five piece a huge success. At least, that is, in Canada. Elsewhere they’re virtually unheard of. Where The Tea Party blinds Aussie and European markets with retro meandering, the Hip struggles to gain attention beyond Buffalo. Their highly anticipated new album, Day For Night (also the name of a famous Truffault film), was an event here though, where fans in lines to pick it up as it hit the shelves of record stores. Extending hours to enable fans to buy it the minute it was officially released says a lot about the faith and devotion that fans hold for the Hip. It also says a lot about the incredible expectations held for it which, sadly to say for what’s on offer, makes it all the more disappointing. Not exactly a hard hitting album , only a few songs stand out above most that just seem to drone into one another, On the lead-off track, “Grace, too,” Downie takes

by Dave F’isher special to Imprint

The Pizzicato Five are in actuality a trio and although they’ve got an incredibly long discography covering the past ten years, this year has been declared “the international pizzicato five year 1994.” A bold aim, to be sure, but the Five are anything but your ordinary band. Hailing from Japan and fronted by enigmatic geisha chanteusse Maki Nomiya, the Five are being heralded as the Japanese Dee-Lite, which isn’t too far from being the truth. At first listen, Made In America seems like a bit of a joke -- sort of like PM Dawn or the Digable Planets being sung by Shonen Knife at a Karaoke bar. But given repeated listenings of the ear candy on offer, the songs pedy start to grow on you and you begin to realise precisely how strong the instrumental arrangements truly are. The immediate stand-out tracks are the appropriately titled and played “Sweet Soul Revue” (yeah, it’s Japanese -- sounds ridiculous, but believe me it’s great), “Magic Carpet Kide” (no, not the Steppenwolf dino-classic) with it’s trippy Beatle-esque sampling, “Twiggy, Twiggy, Twiggy Vs.

Accompaning The Hip’s new album Night is the 70 minute video release documenting their cross-Canada tour Another Roadside Attraction Heksenketel is a Dutch word for witch’s cauldron, which was the original naming of the tour. The Hip would attest to these concerts being some of their best, but those who saw them on this tour, and have seen them elsewhere, would probably differ on that opinion. The video to say the least is a huge disappointment that seems to drag from the opening two minutes to the very end. Obviously a poor quality production with Gord Downie’s brother, Mike, being the so-called “director,” The Hip come across as boring assholes that don’t do anything except ride the bus, read, watch TV and have quiet conversations. For the hottest Canadian band in Canada this video does little justice to portray what really happens, (or at least should happen.) No drugs, very little drinking, no women, no wild and crazy binges on the road, no nothing. The video that is supposed to highlight the band focuses more on Butch the bus driver than band members which is the biggest disappointment. Only six songs live are taped and for the most part watching it on TV doesn’t at all capture the essence of Canada’s favourite band. Day for

an unusual approach with a wail-like rant offering little musically other than what Downie offers emotionally. Perhaps distancing themselves from material that was previously instantly memorable will work in the long-run. But on the other hand, if one is to listen endlessly to an album to catch on to it, sometimes losing interest happens long before. The Hip doesn’t have a hit on their hands with L)ay for Night but hopefully this transitional album is just a stepping stone to break the great Canadian curse James Bond” which is as much fun as it sounds, and “Go Go Dancer” with its terrific beats and horn breaks. More fun than Madonna with just as strong hooks, Maki sings a lot about things like chocolate (“sweet chocolate/ a bit of one makes me fresh/ it makes me awake all night long/ the chocolate, expensive/ hard to get it”), but of course most of it’s delivered in Japanese and so inchoate as to ever prod one to look for any depth beyond the grooves. As the chorus in “Catchy” goes, “Very catchy, catchy catchy catchy.” As it is, the Five use a diversity of samples ranging from the Turtles, Blood Sweat & Tears, Burt Bacharach, and Haall waii 5-0, intersperced with seamlessly Made In America’s sparkling melodies. Besides most of the material being perfect fodder for the dance floor, the Five also deliver some pretty infectious deep soul as well on songs like “I Wanna Be Like You” and “Baby Love Child,” One planet under a groove, Matador has made one of the most astute foreign pickups of the year, again showing why they’re just about the coolest, hippest label around these days. If you enjoy ‘70’s styled disco-funkdance stuff &I the Jackson’s, Parliament, or Dee-Lite that’s fun but nut a total throwaway joke, then you’ll probably get a good surprise and many enjoyable hours hstening to Made In Americn. Perhaps you’ll even be suitably enough impressed to check out , as X said, the rest of their already staggeringly dense discography.

that hangs like a storm cloud waiting to burst. Selling a lot of records in Canada won’t be much of a challenge, the challenge will remain with them to break -into different markets; a task that has plagued them through four albums already, and will continue so with Day for Night. The change in style and music was a necessary one, but unfortunately they (meaning band and fans) aren’t quite ready to accept it. Looks as if The Hip will tragically remain Canada’s best kept secret.

by Pat Merlihan Imprintstaff Oliver Stone’s heavy-handed full scale assault movie extravaganza traumatized audiences with it’s depictions of excessive violence and was supposed to be a bleak commentary on society and media’s role in it. As important in the movie was the music that primed audienoes emotionally, and brought out feelings to what Stone was depicting on the big screen. Here is a soundtrack that has to be one of the best variety of musical offerings with all the overdubs and snipets from the film to completely round out this brillitit package. There

is something

album

for

everyone. Trent Reznor takes credit for producing this album which catches the essence of the film as well as making for smooth and logical transitions from song to song. What Nutural Born Killers the movie lacked in substance, N~furczl Bum

Killers the soundtrack rectifies with an aural fix of music that relives those climatic experiences in the movie. Utilizing Canadian poet Leonard Cohen with the lead off track “Waiting for the Miracle,” and later on “The Future” from his album The Future, sums up Stone’s suggestions about the outlook of our society. Moving smoothly into L7’s “Shitlist” sets the tone of a good killing spree as does Patti Smith’s “Rock n’ Roll Nigger” both of which are good songs to listen to when somebody is getting pumped full of lead. Slowing up for a little mass murder romance adds a nice touch with the Cowboy Junkies rendition of Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane” and Bob Dylan’s 1952 “You Belong To Me.” Trent Reznor’s distorted “Burn” is an exceptional addition to the soundtrack as is the emotional “Something I Can Never Have” which has an incredible introduction which builds the mood into a tension that can only be released with a good killing. On the other end of the musical spectrum is the gangsta rap of Dr. Dre’s “The Day The Niggaz Took Over” which blends in incredibly well to the diversity of the musical offerings on this soundtrack. Tha Dogg Pound’s “What Would U Do” finalizes the soundtrack pumping up the bass with quick rhymes and a “don’t fuck with me” attitude that is very much apart of a Natural Bum Killer. A highly recommended soundtrack for those that are open to a variety of styles of music.

When I did an interview with Jim Creeggan a couple of weeks ago, he lamented that no one is judging his band on the basis of the music, opting instead for personal attacks, and not commenting on the music whatsoever. If people would be objective, offering criticism about the music, he would be happy... Well Jim, I’m only too happy to oblige After selling truckloads of albums based on a wacky image and some fairly decent pop tunes, BNL have now taken a turn for the more serious side of things, writing songs about misunderstandings between father and son, lost loves, and the like.

does this translate into on the album? Simple.. . IT IS THE MOST M.O.R. THING ON THE PLANET. Steven Page and Ed Robertson have created an album of such drivel that it is almost embarrassing to say I”ve actually sat down and listened to this piece of shit. Whereas once they could have been the five James Taylors it was somewhat O.K. to like, they are now the group so bland James would fall asleep to their album. You’ve got songs like “The Wrong Man Was Convicted” and “Great Provider” whose titles even make one wince;-and that’s before you actually hear them. You’ve got crappy love songs that make Jon Bon Jovi sound like a lyrical genius. You’ve got an album that takes the worst parts of Gordon and distills them down into an album that your dad and even your grandmother will love. Is that not reason enough to run away? FAST?!? I’d say so.

Hey kids, wanna dance to some synthesiz-s? Enjoy Fed Hall and all of its many ;harms? Then boy are you gonna love this puppy. It makes me think back to this wondrous summer and seeing these jokers on “Top of the Pops” in England and laughing my ass off. By now everyone has heard the Grid’s song “Swampthing”. A throbbing amalgam of drum machines, analog keyboards and yes, a banjo. As much as I hate this kind of music, I have to admit, I sorta like it. Sorta... Besides the inclusion of this + country/techno classic, this album contains the usual bleeps, bloops, vocal stabs and samples of strange and peculiar noises. Though it d. ~0 does contain some original thoughts and actual new musical directions, the songs become .i’w terribly boring after hearing the same loop cycle

by Stacy Barr special to Imprint The first time J heard this soundtrack I decided that I would begin my critique with - “The name of the CD. may well be “I Like It Like That” but a more apt name would be “A Plethora of Bad Rap Songs.” However, though I feel justified, I’m much too kind a critic to do that, right? If you’ve ever been in your grandfather’s Olds while he played his “Greatest Hits of the Swinging 30’s” and found yourself tapping your foot and really getting into it then you will know the diIemna I’m in here. This soundtrack is bad - I know it! But when I listen to it I find myself doing the ‘groovy head roll and foot tap’ - the white man’s dance response to bluesy rap music!

Two schools of thought exist with regards to Suede. One school is fronted by the omnipresent British press, who have trumpeted the band and Dog Man Star as some sort of Second Coming of B&pop, an album that blasts them back into the coveted throne of best band in Britain. Then there’s the other school, those that see Suede as the most overhyped and overated bunch of

ARTS

idiots to emerge this decade. True enough, it does take the listener some time to get with the new Suede agenda. All but gone are the three and four minute pop gems that made up their first trilogy of singles, and most of the first album for that matter. Looking back one can see that the “Stay Together” single was a sort of crossroads; pitted against the Suede of old (“The Living Dead”, “My Dark Star”) was the Suede of today, the one that makes up about eighty percent of this new album. This band is one that dares to shoot for the stars, a group of four madly ambitious individuals that aspire to sound huge, fantastic, even legendary. And all of this

while writing about subjects as mundane as debts on bungalows or Londsn airports. It’s an album speaking of urban decay, of romance and tragedy and lonely housewives set in its midst. An album fill of horns and big string sections and guitar codas and vocal overtures. Although it all sounds ridiculous on paper; the actual product is something to be marveled at. This is not to say that Brett and co. don’t ever stumble along the way. Both “The 2 of Us” and “Black and Blue” peek dangerously into the cavern of pomposity, especially with the latter’s high falsetto, but just succeed in spite of this. Far worse though is the closer “Still Life,” which goes so ridiculously ovepthe-top in an Andrew Lloyd-Webber kind of way it would make Meatloaf blush. You get the feeling that next time he should perhaps not try so bloody hard. It’s the only major mistep along the way. Save for this however, the album is a treasure. ‘?ntroducing the Band” does just that at the start, a sort of cryptically worded bio of the group set to a throbbing beat and echoing guitar. “The Wild Ones” sees Brett lamenting to his lost love “Oh, oh if you sluy”, pulling the heartstrings ‘til it hurts. “The Power” is a call to the downtrodden to rise as per “My Dark Star”. “New Generation” sweeps the listener along with Bernard’s guitar to soaring heights. “This Hollywood Lifk” has the trashy stomp of said axeman, the one track most like the first album. Xcould go on and on. Will it be the album to conquer America? Not likely; it won’t get played in clubs, and the kids are too busy with this Green Offspring Day thing to care. Which is rather a shame, because this deserves to be heard. How will the new guitarist handle the spotlight? What will they do with this in a live setting? Where do they go next? The Suede saga is only starting - stay tuned.

On this oddball combination we find the unlikely pairings of reggae with classic rock, Motown and AOR . The musical style of reggae is applied to everything from Otis Redding’s “Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay” to Phil Collins’ “Another Day In Paradise”. This CD is fun for springing on unsuspecting house guests and for playing guess that tune. Other than that Reggae: Classic Songs In A Reggae Groove is best used as a coaster. A warning, be prepared to be laughed at if you decide to put this on at a party. This approach is not at all new. Many respected reggae artists have tried their hand at their own versions of rock and roll songs. Unfortunately, this compilation takes reggae way past its limits. Junior Tucker is laughable with his version of “Some Guys Have All The Luck” and Scritti Politti and Shabba Ranks’ version of The Beatles’ “She’s A Woman” is not much better. Peter Tosh turns out an interesting cover of “Johnny B. Goode” but that is where the surprises end. Old standards like “The Tide Is High” by Blondie, the English Beat with “Tears Of A Clown”, an old Smokey Robinson song, and Maxi Priest crooning Cat Steven’s “Wild World” are not new but manage to salvage this compilation. The rest is very forgetful, and probably not worth the money. The question that remains: do we really need a reggae version of a Phil Collins song?
