Nobel Laureate comes to UW

Solar&i Staff
cginning in 1970, the Hagey Lectures have been an annual event inviting a distinguished speaker whose outstanding achievements have often crossed traditional academic and creative boundaries. This week UW had the distinct honour ofhosting the worldrenowned Professor John Polanyi, Nobel Laureate, to speak as the 1995 Hagey lecturer. On Wednesday afternoon he spoke to undergraduates, giving a talk entitled “The Molecular Dance in Chemical Reactions,” while on Thursday evening he gave the main Hagey lecture in the Humanities Theatre. Wednesday’s lecture, held in the Davis Ccntre, was supposed to be an “intimate” gathering for a hundred or so undergrads, but well over 300 students, professors, and the heads of the science faculty were on hand for the informal talk. The crowd was treated to an hour long chat light on the chemistry and heavy on the nostalgia and philosophy of scientific discoveries. We spoke of the intellectual adventure of working on a project, the risks, the failures,

and the consequences of a new finding. “Tgnorance is valuable, but not exactly something you have to work on,” joked Polanyi. Doctor Polanyi was born in Berlin and raised in Manchester, England. He came to Canada as a boy, during World War II. Since 1956 he has been a part of the science faculty (Chemistry) at the University of Toronto. During the course of his long and distinguished career, he studied the complexities of chemical reactions and how they occur. In 1986 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry for his studies into the motions of atoms in chemical reactions (known as chemical reaction dynamics). More specifically, he also helped develop infrared chemiluminescence. His many awards include 27 honourary degrees (including one from UW), membership’to the Pontifical Academy in Rome, and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society of London. He has over 68 awards in total. Not only is he a brilliant researcher, but a dcdicated arms control advocate and is known for his passion when speaking of the social responsibilities of science. continued

Polanyi speaks at UW

spoke mostly about the interlinkages between ideas, their developments, thcjurnp to applications, all eventually leading to a new series of ideas, completing the circle. After a brief discussion about his work on chemical dynamics, hc spoke of morality and the rcsponsibilitics science has to society. He expressed concern regarding the crowinrr dencndcncc of univcrsimlcnt and corporate funding. He made the allusion to the difficulty of marrying for both love and money. At best, an uneasy rclationshrp. Conflicts of interest often arise and compromises must be made. He game the statistic that approximately six to eight percent of funding in Atncrican universities comes from industry, while in Canada this figure is twice this amount. Tn his view he said that scicncc in Canadian universities was becoming a tool for short-sighted corporations who fund research for malcrial istic rcasons rather than the amelioration of society. After his lecture hc opened the. floor to questions which focused on the funding bodies and the research they support. Delving into the actual purpose of scicncc, whether it is designed to serve the interests of industry and a money driven rnarkct or for the good of society and the expansion of knowledge.

Brabrook said. In the competition, students are responsible for managing aproject from design through fabrication of a technically innovative toboggan, involving as many participants as possible. The annual race draws university and technical college teams from Canada, the United States, and elsewhere, including Germany. In 1994, UW placed fourth and ninth overall, out of 48 teams. Waterloo was second overall in I987 and 1989. The competition calls for a toboggan with a concrete running surface, a total mass of less than 136 kilograms and space for five riders. The toboggans also feature a braking system, aluminum chassis, Fiberglass canopy andconcrete riding slab. The 1995 race will be hosted by L’Ecole Polytechnique, and a technical exposition, displaying all the entries, will be held Jan 19-20 in “ComplexeDesjardins,“aMontrcaI shopping mall. The race itself takes place on Saturday, Jan. 2 1. Brabrook said the Waterluge entry has a total estimated budget of $10,500, including construction materials and uniforms, plus transportation and accommodation costs. The students have been raising money since September by holding weekly barbecues and raffles.

The CFS is currently receiving a lot of publicity for it’s “National Day of Strike and Protest,” schcdulcd for Jamlary 25, to oppose the federal govcrnmcnt’s proposed cuts to post-secondary education funding.

TORONTO MONTESSORI INSTITUTE “We want policies that are meaningful to students. We can’t fight to save the planet - that’s over. We want to get back to the main issues,” said Jean-Francois Vcnne, President of the Students Federation of the University of Ottawa. Garth Spangle& President of the U of T Student’s administrative Council thinks that the protest the CFS is organizing will be good for the CFS “If there’s one thing that may provide a saving grace for CFS, it’s that they are organizing the Jan. 25 strike. At least you can say that CFS is doing something,” he said.

hc University of Waterloo’s Federation of Students is holding a referendum to find out if the student body wants to maintain their membership in the Ontario University Student Alliance (OUSA). The Student’s Council decided at a meeting last Sunday that they officially support OUSA. Glen Rutland, who has been involved in OUSA since its founding three years ago, is rcprcscnting the YES side of the campaign. There is still no one represcnting the NO side of the campaign. According to fulic Cole, Vice-President, University Affairs, they advcrtiscd for someone to represent the NO side, but no one came forward. Last Thursday, the Waterloo Public Interest and Research Group (WPIRG) was approached by the Feds, requesting them to adopt the NO side of the campaign. They wcrc approached the day before the rcfcrcndum mail-out was due, and therefore did not have the time to put together an information package. The Feds are still unsure if WPIRG will represent the NO side. Daryl Novak, WPIRG Vofuntccr Coordinator, explained that “we are considering running the NO side because we feel that it should be represented... (but) it won’t be a big push on our part.” Although Novak has reviewed some OUS,4 matcrid, nothing has been done so far to put together a catnpaign. “The fact that there is no one lining up for the NO side shows that students are happy with OUSA... or that pcoplc aren’t interested,” commented Rutland.
lf the rcfcrcndum does not go through, the Feds have three altcrnatives, according to Rutland. To continue their membership in OUSA anyway, to return to the Canadian Federation of Students, Ontario (CFSO), which they left three years ago, or to continue without any provincial backing. The Feds held a major role in the founding and development of OUSA, but in the three years since its existcncc, the student body has not yet been asked if it supports OUSA. Both Cole and Rutland agree that a referendum before now would have been premature, bc-
The fact that there is no one fur the Nil side shows that students are happy with OUSA...or that people aren ‘t interested. ” cause the ground work for the organization had not yet been laid. Now, however, it is very important to hold a referendum now because the OUSA fees are increasing. Presently, the Feds pay $12 000 per year to OUSA, which is approximately $0.47 a student per term. This money is taken from students’ Fed fees, OUSA is now proposing to double their fees. The increase will still be sustained by the Feds. “Students don’t want to see another fee on their fee statements,” asserted Cole. When the Feds were members of the Ontario Federation of Stu-

dents, which has now beenabsorbed by the CFS, each student paid $3.00 per year (the CFS fees have now gone up to $5+00). The Fed fees, however, have not changed, and thus they have B $44 000 Student Council Special Projects Fund which “gives money to students so that they can do cool things,” explained Cole. This is where the extra money to OUSA will come from ifthc fees dogo up. There will still be $20,000 in the Special Projects Fund if the OUSA fees double. OUSA is presently operating at a deficit of $5,964. In addition, they only have one full time staff member, Mike Burns, the Executive Director, who they have been unable to pay for some time. OUSA also has very little equipment, which they need to purchase in order to run an efficient organization, said Cole. Some resources that they feel arc most necessary include a computer, a laser printer, and some more full time staff. “We are trying to be really cost efficient,” emphasised Cole, explaining that they are presently receiving free rent, and if they hire a secretary it would only be for a few *hours every day. A secretary is especially important, because Burns is rarely ever in the office. He has been spending much of his time speaking at universities that are showing an interest in joining OUSA. These schools include MacMaster, Ryerson, and Carleton. Today, Steve Codrington will be representing UW in a voting on the fee increases. The official OUSA referendum campaigning begins on Friday, February 3 at 8:3Oam. It ends Monday, February 13 at 7:00 pm. Voting is on Tuesday the 14th.

so diagrams are needed for that. Also, of course, the major portion of the car construction will happen this lerm (who’m I kidding - make that ALL of the car construction). As well, the ma.jor part of the fundraising will have to happen this term. Accordingly, we will bc involved in as many promotional activities as possible, and the marketing and sponsorship soliciting will have to be stepped up. We’re busy designing and arranging the manufacture of promotional novelties such as T-shirts, toy models, mascot dolls, etc. This is all included as part of the non-technical team’s responsibilities.

s time marches onwards we draw closer to D-DAY. We’re racing in June, and that’s just six months away. The excitement level is building as the car starts taking shape. We’re all having a lot of fun bringing this project along. Everyone on the team has been great, and we’re not only pretty well on schedule, but we also hear that we’re at about the same stage as Michigan State, the team that has won the SunRayce for the last two races. Several new sponsors have joined our team over the last month, including Ventra Groups lncorporated, Natural Resources Canada, and Accuride Canada Incorporated all made generous cash donations. Sony Canada donated a Global Positioning System, whichdetermines the vehicles latitude and longitude (within a few metres!) for race strategy purposes. The car construction is underway, so anyone interested should come out and get involved. Right now the frame is being build. This means that we cut up pieces of aluminum and cart it over to Raytheon. There, an expert welder is handed each piece by eager beaver team members and the whole process is overseen by our frame manager. The array is also under construction, and the solar cells have been chosen and ordered. The motor is (nearly!) chosen, and the wheels have also been selected. So what’s left? Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you see things, much is left to be done. There’s still design work in both the electrical and mechanical systems outstanding, and so anyone interested in doing design work hasn’t lost the

previous UW survey on school smoking prevention programs. The guide was distributed to all high schools, junior high schools and related health organizations in Ontario at the beginning of last December in order to coincide with the implementation of Bill 119 that put an end to smoking at schools. Other new W SP research group projects include conducting a survey of smoking prevention and alcohol-use programs in Ontario schools. The survey looks at the types of programs offered, how much time is spent teaching them, what barriers exist to starting them and what staff training opportunities are available. In brief, the survey aims to identify how to improve the efficiency of the programs, as well as factors relating to their implementation.

from the Anti-Cuts Action Committee WPIRG has been working with the AntiCuts Action Committee (ACAC) to organize a critical response to the federal government’s current discussion paper on social security policy. This document proposes broad program spending cuts, including the elimination of cash transfers to the provinces for post-secondary education. The effects of this on students, in particular through extremely large tuition increases, would be especially brutal. The gist ofour critique is that it is neither desirable, nor evm fcasiblc, for the government to subordinate social policy to deficit reduction. The proposed ‘reforms’ would bring socially destructive consequcnccs with only ncgligiblc fiscal benefits. To assist students in understanding what the govcrnmcnt is planning, we have placed several information booths across the campus. Last fall, over 2000 signatures were collected on a petition against the proposed spending cuts. We are circulating a second petition which urges our local MPs to speak out against the fcdcral cabinci’s misdirected priorities, and in particular to re-index federal transfers for post-secondary education. An initial stack containing m’er 700 signatures was delivered on January 16 to Andrew Telcgdi’s office, with more to follow. The campaign will culminateon January 25 with a major protest-rally in front of the Dana Porter Library. This cvcnt will coincide with dozens of similar protests across the country, organized by students, alongside

trade unions, anti-poverty groups, and other community activists. In order to have our MP take our concerns seriously, it is essential that our mcssagc to him bc backed up by a broadlybased opposition which off&-s positive alternatives to the cutbacks. There will be several speakers at the protest-rally, including Cord Wilson (President of the Ontario Federation of Labour) and Larry Rat&a (President of the Waterloo Regional Labour Council); they will relate the response of trade unions to the cutbacks, and how they have been organizing for improved social programs, including accessible postsecondary education. Bcryl Cote (Canadian Union of Public Employees) will speak on the effects of the proposed funding changes on unionized employees of colleges and universities, as well as CUPE’s general proposals for reform of Canada’s post-secondary education system. Pamela Constable (President of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, District 24) will speak to how the cuts to post-secondary education will affect the future choices of high school students. Ian Macdonald (UW Faculty Association) and Sharon Adams (past President of the UW Staff Association) will speak on behalf of their respective associations. There may be other speakers also. There are many alternatives that call for continued or cnhanccd federal support for post-secondary education. In order for them to be taken seriously, we need to act now to change the government’s priorities. Join us at noon on the 25th to put students back on the agenda!

Due to popular demand, here is another instalment ofunusual and defunct clubs at the University of Waterloo. Hopefully, these entertaining clubs and their constitutions will serve to remind students that even though your idea for a club may be unusual, it’s worth a try! “Star Trek Club” - 1986 - To explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life; to boldly go where no one has gone before! These “Trekkies” offered rcfugc for those village resident s who were shunned by their peers for watching for the “that show”. Costumes were encouraged but not mandatory, although by the looks of some of the old photos, the costumes were very similar to the current styles so either in costume or not, you couldn’t tell the difference. “National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws Club at the University of Waterloo” - 1982 - 1983 - Like the title of the club, its members sought to encourage the growth and use of marijuana on the University of WaterLoo Campus. In order to entice potential members, the club regularly held movie nights on campus. The first film, “Reefer Madness” was met with minimal success, as was the visit of the author of “Cannabis Criminals”. Students were en-
couraged to attend “secret” meetings with any “special” treats that they deemed fit to bring. Glee Club - 1962 - The aims of the club shall be the sole representative of vocal musical activities for students at the University of Waterloo. Spirit and love will be generated through bake sales, sing-a-thons, and various team spirit activities. Junior Farmers Club- 198 1 - Under the motto “Self Help and Community Betterme@” the Junior Farmer &ogrurn provides opportunities for young people, especially those in rural Ontario, to help themselves

The application process for this funding has been a long one. The initial proposals were submitted in the fall of 1993, and 28 groups of universities applied. Eighteen proposals were eliminated in February 1994.
The remaining ten universities each received $10 000 to r evise their proposals and continue their research. Two other university groups decided to revise their proposals without CIDA’s funding. The new proposals were due in September 1994, and the groups involved arc now waiting to hear which of them will receive the flinding. The results are expected at the end of February. If the proposed project does not rccei\:e the funding, they will apply for other grants from CIDA. which are not as large. Mitchell also cmphasiscs that the proposal has been built on ongoing projects, which will continue to be worked on, although not to the same capacity. CIDA is undergoing massive rcstructuring, and is developing new areas of funding, especially where universities are involved. CIDA is involved in three differcntchannels of aid. These include multilateral aid, which provides money to such places as international banks, and the United Nations. The next type of aid is bilateral, which provides aid to the three southern global regions including Africa, Asia and Latin America. The third type of aid is provided through partnerships, which means that CIDA involves itself in cost sharing deals with institutions such as universities, non-government organizations and the private sector. This channel of aid ecompasses 13% of CIDA’s spending, and is the section through which the University of Waterloo may be granted the $7 million dollars.

R
cgular waders of Imprint (if I may deign toprcsume suchacreaturc exists) may have noticed a bit of a scuffle ensuing between two campus groups regarding January Zth, the proposed student strike day. On the one hand wc have our Fcderation of Students who maintain that student issues are best fought in the boardroom in face-to-face discussions. The Federation is very anti-Canadian Fcdcration of Students (CFS) and pro-Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance @USA.) The strike was initiated by the CFS, hence the Feds’ vehement opposition to it. On the other hand, we have the UW Anti-Cuts Action Committee (ACAC) who maintain that this strike is a general show of student activism as opposed to a strictly CFS-organized event. They see the strike as an opportunity for students to be heard nationally; a visible demonstration that illustrates the importance of the proposed cuts to university students. Whether or not the strike is a worthwhile cause ultimately won’t be known until January 25th. This strike will provide a valuable litmus test for students to decide whether or not such a demonstration is how they want to express their concerns. The Federation of Students does not bclievc thatalldemonstrations are worthless. They organized a small rally against the proposed cuts on October 28th of this year outside Waterloo M.P. Andrew Telcgdi’s office. In a press release from the Federa‘ion of Students, they stated that the aforenentioned demonstration was just “one :xample of what the Federation of Stuients is doing to voice student con:ems. . . We ask for public support from 10th Kitchener and Waterloo in order to *aise awareness and support for the stuients who could potentially suffer from he doubling of tuition . . .” The upcoming January 25th strike :ould very well raise awareness, and is undoubtedly a voicing of student con:ems, yet apparently the Federation only supports local demonstrations. It would be erroneous to suggest, lowever, that the Feds’ lack of support ‘or the January 25th strike is purely a jull-headed anti-CFS stance. The No/ember demonstration in Ottawa was a lisgracefil show of immaturity -- and it was organized by the CFS. The 12,000 odd students who gath:red on Parliament Hill were understandably upset and angered at the prospect of greatly increased tuition hikes. Hurling bodstuffs at the Minister of Human ReDources, however, is not a intelligent way If procuring a sympathetic ear. Will this type of juvenile posturing je repeated on campuses across Canada In the 25th? The Feds seem to think so. If his is the case, then the CFS will have hammered the final nail in its own coffin. If, on the other hand, there is a posiive outcome to the protest (similar to the eaction the Feds received for their procst outside Telegdi’s office, one imagncs) then the Federation of Students will lave to rethink its position on student lcmonstrations. In the future, their dcciion will have to be made according to vhat students want, not what is best for XJSA, the CFS or anyone else.
Dear
Mr.
T
he following is an open lellerjj-om the WW Anti-Cuts Action Committee, de livered I6 Janua~ 1995 along wit/z 700 signatlares collected thlis far UPI a petition qpsing social spending cllts and calling for the re-index&on offederal transfers fur post-secondq education. Dear Andrew
Telegdi,
M.P.
We are writing to you to express concern about the discussion paper released last fall by the Minister of Human Resources Development (namely, “Agenda: Jobs and Growth: Improving Social Secqity in Canada”) and about the federal government’s forthcoming budget. Although reform is necessary, the first priority of the HRD policy review is clearly to reduce spending regardless of the national goals of the programs in question. We believe that it is neither necessary nor desirable to suburdinate s~cinl security policy to deJkit reductiun. As they are based upon a shortsighted vision of the federal govemment’s role in providing social security, the proposed reforms are seriously flawed and should therefore not be implemented. What is required is a genuine and thorough reform of the real causes of the federal debt-tax expenditures and high interest rates-so that a social security system adequate to Canada’s present and emerging needs can be provided. We would like to draw special attention to the proposed changes to the federal government’s role in the Established Programs Financing (EPF) of post-secondary cducation (PSE). To begin, there are two specific points of contention. First, to claim that the EPF tax room ceded to the provinces in 1977 represents a “permanent, growing federal endowment”
Telegdi
(~61) for Canadian PSE is a presumptuous description for actual federal contributionsin f995/96 and beyand. The real issue is the EPF cash transfer. Secondly, to claim that the EPF cash transfer for PSE will vanish completely in 2006/07 if a ‘hands-off strategy is adopted masks the accumulated effects of repeated, unilateral de-indexations of the total EPF transfer by the federal government. In the sub-section entitled “History of the federal government role”, the discussion paper does not point out that as a result of these deci-
the academic integrity of Canadian universities and compromise their role in society. (For example, 5% of the total Advanced Education budget in Alberta has been set aside for new programs deemed most attractive to Albertan employers.) The commodification of PSE would have negative ramifications throughout our society. This downloading of the federal debt onto those who can least afford it continues the well-established shift of the tax burden onto ordinary Canadians. In 1955, corporate taxes provided 25% of federal revenue; in 1992, this was down to 7%. Revenue Canaba data show that corporate tax deferments now total about $40 billion. The government spends billions more each vear on other dubious tax expendit;res (e.g. $1 billion in subsidies for business meals and entertainment). Also, we should add, the pensions received by members of parliament following only six years of service are another instance of unnecessary government excess. Meanwhile, ordinary Canadians, and this includes students, have been paying more and more, while receiving less and less. The federal government has had a primary expendituressur& each year since 1986/87; program spending has been well disciplined-and yet still the debt grows. The reason for this is plain and incontrovertible: according to StatsCan data,94%@‘thegrowth ofthe federal debt has been caused by high interest rutes and tax loophnies. Cuts to program spending cannot possibly counteract the debt pressure that these exert. Any savings accruing from the HRD review would be quickly nulliiied. I‘he OSSl‘f; has put the matter succinctly: “Nothing else hut krw interest rutes and taxation rejtirm will free us from the destructive burden 0f‘deficif.s and debts. ” continued to page 12
According to StatsCan, 94% of the growth of the federal debt has been caused by high interest rates and tax loopholes sions, the cash portion has been systematicall y eaten into by under cdlecting tax points. This trend, which the 1994 budget extended, needs to be critically scrutinized, rather than simply assumed to be appropriate for Canada’s emerging PSE requirements. To put the matter in context, then, the proposed replacement of the cash transfers and the resulting twofold increase in tuition fees for individual students represent the drastic culmination of the federal retreat from responsibility for PSE. The effects of this on accessibility would be catastrophic; poorer, working-class students and others averse to massive debt loads would not enroll, while those who cam less after graduation would bc penalized with longer repayment periods. Further, it is reasonable to suspect that the proposed funding structure would diminish

Massacre Response -
II
r I.1
Michael Rryson and Heather Calder (Imprint, letters, Jan. 13 th) make a riotous pair. Bryson would have us believe that someone could actually satirize the Montreal Massacre memorial services without f‘irst understanding their symbolism. Caldcr, writing in a tone which belies her utter ignorance conccming the point of my previous letter (Imprint, letters, Jan, 6), depicts myself as a person who considers the murder of innocents as a trivial matter, is threatened by coverage of feminist events, and who believes that “women are victims, always have been victims, and always will be victims.” My response to both of you? Go back and reread my letter. Try to understand it this time. Don’tjust lump me into the same category as a person like Mark Tompsett because we both happened to express opinions regarding the Montreal Massacre that dissented from the status quo. By not taking the time to understand what I had to say before you responded, you misrepresented mc and you made yourselves look bad. Let me reiterate my position: I & not have a quarrel with feminist interpretations of the Montreal Massacre. Yes, it was a terrible tragedy (Ms. Calder). It is a good time to take note that there is a lot of violence in the world, particularly against women. However, 1 do have a quarrel with people who use the massacre memorial as a forum for their group and also with people who use the massacre memorial as a forum for their group while at the same time denying that they are using it as a forum. What I see as destructive about too much emphasis being placed on the memorial services is that such emphasis reinforces the “victim mentality” that pervades many women’s groups, which in turn invokes a destructive notion of selfpity among women. What I called f‘or was a constructive focus on cclebratingupliftingevents andvictories among women over the past several years. Take a brief moment to remember the dead, yes, but then move on and work towards building a better future. If we let what Lepinc did take centre stage, then he accomplished all that he set out to do, and more. Don’t dwell on the darkness, overcome darkness with light. I think a big reason why I wrote my original letter was because I was fed up with all of the negative energy that I associate with women’s groups. It seems that most of what I hear from them is about how oppressed and miserable women are. I belicvc this negativity is SO pervasive because groups organized around the image of “women as victims” need to fuel the fires that support this image in order to justify their existence. I’m sure many feel that my perceptions are skewed. But when Suzanne Galloway starts reciting statistics like “I
in 4 Canadian women are raped in their lifetimes” and “I in 10 Canadian women are assaulted by their husbands” T see my perceptions confirmed. Suzanne, if those statistics are looked at from a different perspective, they read: 3 in 4 Canadian women are not raped in their lifetimes and 9 in 10 Canadian women are not assaulted by their husbands. That’s 75% and 90% respectively. Don’t those figures look a little more positive now? I’m sure that many people will respond by saying that if everyone is convinced that women are no longer oppressed in our society, very few people will see the need to combat the inequalities that still exist between the sexes. That may be the case, but it is no reason to distort the facts in order to prevent such a thing from happening. The answer is education, not indoctrination. - Kevin Miller 4th year SDS
Statistics confusing To the Editor, A radio ad for Anselma House quotes StatisticsCanada, saying that 25% of Canadian women will experience violence in their lives. Yet, Suzanne Galloway (Montreal Massacre #4, Jan. 13) insists that “ 1 in 4 Canadian women are raped in their lifetimes.” Who should I belicve? - Marc Risdale 4B ikfechanical
Engineer&
An eloquent engineer writes To the Editor, In a recent news broadcast ( 10 January) CKCO TV aired a segment covering the new video input booth sponsored by the Federation of Students and Imprint. During the interview, a representative of the Federation of Students made the comment that the engineering and math students were perhaps less “eloquent” and would appreciate being able to express our view verbally instead of undertaking the obviously difficult (for us) task of writing. While I do not believe the intention of this comment was malicious, it only serves to reinforce the negative stereotypes of engineers (and math students) as a bunch of illiterates. Considering that outside of the Imprint, the only other student publications that receive regular wide distribution are the MathNews and the Iron Warrior, I do not believe there is much evidence to support this stcrcotype. Having
pcrsnnally
reviewed
many pieces of writing from engincering students, I do not believe that as a group they can be considcred any less eloquent than any other group on campus. I hope that in the future the Federation of Stu-
dents takes a little more care in how they choose to represent the university to the rest of the community. - Colin Editur,
Young, The Iron
Warrior
Another eloquent engineer! To the Editur, Recently, the Vice-president of Finance of the Federation of Students,Christine Dewhurst, was seen on CKCO-TV news, commenting on the new video recorder located in the Campus Centre. The purpose of this “Student’s Corner” is to allow students to relay any concerns or retribution about university life. The vice-president’s insights into this new endeavour included the fact that this camera would benefit engineers and “mathies” because they have trouble writing “eloquently.” This comment not only offends every engineering and math student, but also their professors and every professional dedicated to these fields. Comments like these only add to the problem of stereotypes that many of my fellow engineering colleagues are trying to eliminate. In the future, representatives of students of the University of Waterloo should give careful consideration to what is relayed to the media. They are not elected to convey their own individual viewpoints but to speak for the entire student body. Out of respect for those who work hard and are proud to be in their chosen fields of Math and Engineering, an apology should be made. - Calken Dietrich 4B Systems Design
Engineering
Dewhurst apologizes To the Editor, Earlier this week the Federation of Students recieved a letter from a 4B Systems Design Engineering Student, aMs. Colleen Dietrich, expressing her displeasure at a comment I made during a television interview with CKCO-TV. During the interview, I was asked to explain the relevance and value of the new “Students’ Corner” video suggestion booth to our campus. I responded by saying that the University of Waterloo is a very technical campus, and very well known for its technical programmes of study. Sometimes because of this, UW can often seem an unfriendly place for students. The “Students’ Corner” booth is one aspect of a Communications Plan of the Federation of Students to ‘humanize UW somewhat; it provides an immediate forum for students to address their concerns about the Federation, about the University in general. Ms. Dietrich took offense at my example of engineering and
math students as individuals who might greatly benefit from the booth, because they may not feel comfortable in voicing their concems in a more traditional way. I did not mean to imply that students of technical programmes are incapable of writing a letter; I apologize for the connotations of my comment. My only explanation is that the interview was unrehearsed. Had it been otherwise, I would have chosen my words more carefully. Unfortunately, the context of my television interview also failed to illustrate my belief that students are under fierce time constraints, which may also make it difficult for some people to draft a letter or an article. Certainly, spending 50 cents and one minute ofyour time is more efficient. I would like to extend an apology to Ms. Dietrich for any misunderstanding caused by my remarks during the interview, and to any other students who have had similar concerns. - Christine Dewhurst, 4A MathLAccounting

ACAC not CFS To the Editor, Re: “CFS readies for national protest,“byJamcs Russell (Imprint, 13 January.) The Anti-Cuts Action Committee (ACAC) consciously chose January 25 as the date to protest the proposed federal cutbacks to funding for post-secondary education, because on that day tens of thousands of other students across Canada will be doing likewise. Most of the schools at which protests are planned belong to the CFS. Many don’t. But all understand that a unified voice on this day is the most effective way to oppose the cuts. After speaking with James, we concurred that he had wrongly but innocently assumed that the ACAC has some deeper connection with the CFS. It doesn’t. As for January 25, the ACAC is planning a very serious protestrally with a very serious lineup of speakers to oppose an extremely serious threat to the accessibility and quality of post-secondary education. There are three very serious reasons why students should participate: 1. To put seriously fair tuition on the local and national public agenda. 2. To demonstrate that students are not a “special interest group” with which serious others have nothing in common. 3. To put pressure on our serious M.P., Andrew Telegdi, to speak out like his serious colleague George Baker in admitting that there is no economic or other serious reason to cut any social spending. A massive rip-off of students is on
the
govcrnmcnt’s
agenda.
There’s no point in discussing alternatives unless we take that off the agenda. To make alternatives possible, we have to stop the cutbacks. To do this we have to seri-
ously then, nate wise
oppose them. Then, and only does it make sense to rumiupon how things might otherbe. The event for serious students will occur at noon in the Arts Quad on the 25th. - Bryan

Q ur’an silent
To The Editor, So, Mr. Elrabaa feels that nonMuslims ON% it to themselves to find out about the Qu’ran and lslam because “both the Qu’ran and the prophet provide guidance to one fourth of the Earth’s population,” and aren’t we the least bit curious to find out why so many people belong to this faith? He also feels that the world has “failed” because-in response to a still-extant challenge issued by his supposed god-humankind has not been able to produce a single chapferofreligious philosophy that is the equal ofany part ofthe Qu’ran, and that humankind cun lzot do so because the Qu’ran (as the word of this “god”) is the highest pinnacle of literary beauty and excellence in the Arabic language and has been perfectly preserved as both an oral and a written text, “as no other text has been or ever will be,” for over fourteen hundred years. Apparently these vague snippets of religious propaganda are supposed to arouse our interest in Islam, perhaps even to the degree that we become converts. Mr. Elrabaa even makes a generous offer of providing a free copy of the Qu’ran to anybody interested, in order to (I suspect) expedite the process. Besides being so ridiculously vague and so hideously illogical that it borders on puerility-as most religious propaganda is wont to do- Mr. Elrabaa’s column is not only personally insulting(what with its sheer pretentiousness and the fact that I never expected to be proselytized to on anlrnivcrsi~cam yus of all places) it is misleading to all of its readers. Implicit in Mr. Elrabaa’s comment on the sheer numbers ofpeople who are Muslim (one billion+) is a judgment on this religion’s inherent superiority-or, as Mr. Eh-abaa must think of it, its “truth.” But the truth is that a quarter of humanity is Muslim because Islam was spread primarily by the sword-as was Christianity (take, for example, the Albigensian crusade, and the genocide committed by the Roman Catholic Church against the Cathars). And we all know that when a people is faced with the decision to convert or die (as can again be seen in the history of Christianity; let no one charge that 1 am singling out Islam for the crime of brutal religious oppression) it is very easy-if not necessary for survival -for that people to shove
aside

has happened frequently in the spread of Islam). Mr. Elrabaa’s column is also misleading in its portrayal ofIslam. While it should come as no surprise that, in a column devoted to extolling the wondrous nature of a particular religion, all references to that religion’s shortcomings would be avoided, I believe that Islam presents a special case. Can or will you, Mr. Elrabaa, account to the readers of Imprint (who have so generously provided the platform with which you so shamelessly use to spread your faith) why your column never addresses the discrepancies in how Islam (a purportedly peaceful, tolerant, and egalitarian religion) is taught and how it is practiced? Perhaps, Mr. Elrabaa, you could address the widespread oppression of women that is so common in Islamic cultures, or the proliferation of violence committed by Islamic fundamentalists upon innocents and third parties, or the suppression, intolerance, and persecution of intellectuals and intellectual freedom that is so often present in Islamic states (a case in point would be the fatweh-or death sentence-placed upon the head of Salman Rushdie by the Ayatollah Khomeini in one of this century’s most abhorrent examples of rabid religious fimdaMENTALism). I ask you these things not to antagonize you, Mr. Elrabaa, but to
point out to you that your column as it now stands-unredeeming religious propaganda-does not even remotely resemble a responsible, intellectual discourse on your religion. Rhetoric and dogma will convince no one of anything but the hollow core at the centre of your “arguments,” and I suspect that this is not what you want to achieve.
But if you do continue to proselytize through the Imprint, Mr. Elrabaa, there’s little we can do but grin and bear it. So, please, at the very least consider this little piece ofadvice, which I suspect may serve you very well: Show, don’t tell. - John

continued from page 10 Without question, a system of PSE in which more, rather than less, of each institution’s revenue comes from stable government transfers is in itselfpreferable to the funding scheme suggested in the HRD document. But it is also true that in addition to being grossly unfair, the latter does not offer a more affordable nor more feasible solution to PSE underfunding. This is because it does not address the fiscal reality behind program underfunding. As with other areus of social security, the debtpressure from unchecked high interest rates and an unrefurmed tax&on system would soon make even these refurms unaffordable. Positive alternatives abound, and the revenue for them can be raised without placing undue burdens on ordinary Canadians. Indeed, your colleague from Newfoundland, M.P. George Baker, has admitted that even a modest program of tax reform would balance
the books and obviate the need for social spending cuts. If the government truly wishes to reduce its debt service charges and to provide sustainable social security and filly accessible, high-quality PSE, then it must set about to control interest rates and scrutinize the usefulness of its multi-billion dollar program of tax expenditures that uverwhelmingly benefit big business and very wealthy Canadians. We urge you to speak out likewise. Last fall we circulated a petition around UW and collected over 2000 signatures against the cutbacks. We are now circulating another, calling for the re-indexation of the total EPF transfer for PSE, which will be delivered to your office on January 25. We believe that there is significant opposition to the HRD review at UW and in Waterloo, and we hope that this will be demonstrated to you. - uw

Why “Surely, the way of life acceptable to Allah is Islam.” [translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verse 3 : 191
Many atheists argue that, unlike science, religions have nothing to offer to further our understanding of our surroundings and how to deal with them. Thus there is no need to believe in God, and religion and state should be separated. Religion became ameans to satisfy some emotional needs, and sometimes illogical in itself! These ideas have mainly developed among followers of religions other than Islam, As for Islam, this was never the case. Islam is a complete way of life, a guidance provided by the creator of the Universe, for all mankind covering everything in their lives. Islam tells us about the purpose of our creation: ‘I (God) have not created Finn and mankind (for any other purpose) except to worship me’ (5 156). ‘Worship’ in this verse means total obedience to God’s commands. The Arabic word ‘Deen’ that is usually loosely translated to mean religion actually means ‘way of life’. Obedience to God results in peace and harmony with oneself and with his surroundings BUT this is a bonus! The main goal of a muslim is to please God so that s/he may be saved on judgment day. Islam never contradicts scientific facts. In fact, some of the recently discovered facts, such as the human embryo development stages
harness its goodness. The prophet (PBUH) called upon muslims to seek cures for their illnesses and told them that “For every illness there is a cure except for old age nothing can cure that”! The Qur’an and traditions of the prophet contain numerous instructions to muslims to use the means created by Allah to develop a better life for themselves and others. That is why, while an atheist views a physical law as a sole cause of a certain phenomenon, a muslim looks at this law itself as a creation of Allah and hence sees that utilizing this law would be part of using Allah’s means, rather than a substitute for Allah. The fact that muslims established the greatest civilization that ever existed on the face of the earth without separating religion and state or religion and science is a testimony to the superiority of Islam, the final message of God :“This day have I (God) perfected your religion For you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Isfamasyourreligion(wayoflife).” So Islam instructs us to use all means available to us, including science, to help us achieve our goal, the worship of God. Hence science is a servant to us rather than a god. And how could it be a god? Can science offer solutions to everything? This century we managed to jump on the moon, yet we are still crawling on the face of social ailment! Racism, hatred, crime, family decline, anxiety, and depression are but a few of these social ailments of our ‘scientifically guided’ societies. This could have been fore-

MYTHS and FAXworthv of Consideration J
by David Sr. Officer
Drewe, Academic
Affairs
Where did this plan to reform university funding come from? The Federal Department of Human Resource Development began a comprehensive review of all social spending, releasing a “Green Book” ofproposals last fall. Since then, a committee chaired by Ontario MP Maurizio Bevilaqua has been hearing submissions from interested parties. Post secondary education is only one area targeted for restructuring. In a nutshell, what does it say universities? As things stand, federal cash support to universities will end in IO years. The green paper notes that tuition has been rapidly increasing in recent years, and seeks to provide students with a cushion guaranteeing accessibility. Their solution is to withdraw federal cash transfers to universities, and instead channel this money to students as loans. Lloyd Axworthy indicated that this plan could guarantee every Canadian university student $2000 in loans annually. about
Is the government serious? No one really knows. These are only proposals, but the government has been defending them as if they were already policy. Even more confusing is the amount of cuts the government is talking about. The green paper points towards the entire cash transfer, $2.6 billion, being eliminated. Our local MP confirmed this. But Mr. Bevilaqua, chair of the travclling committee, indicated that if it cost $600 million to set up the loan program, $2 billion would still remain for transfer. Even more confusing, Axworthy recently hinted that the loans might be in addition to monies now spent. Aren’t
more loans a good thing? Not in this case. While loans can make the burden of financing an education more manageable, the money that the province is losing has to be made up somehow. Ontario’s IMinister of Education and Training has noted that, if the province passed on these cuts to universities, the money lost would be equivalent to the entire operating
budgets of York University and the University of Ottawa. These universities together serve about 100,000 students. It’s to no one’s benefit to see them disappear. The other option the province outlined was for universities to raise their tuition fees to make up lost funding. In this scenario, tuition would increase by more than the amount of the loans students would receive. Students would therefore start with relatively less money and finish deeper in debt. Isn’t the loan program they’re proposing more flexible? Most likely. The green book mentioned implementing an “income contingent repayment” program, but gave no other details. Further, while many student groups have come out in favour of income
Do you want a $71,000 debt when . youfirtish? contingent repayment plans as a better way to manage student debtloads, it is questionable whether any repayment program would be adequate for repaying the debtloads this plan might create. How
far in debt would I be? The CFS claims that a four year degree could leave students with a $71,000 debt, but the CFS isn’t generally known for accurate accounting. Ontario claims that students could end up paying back a little over $40,000, with monthly payments of about $370 (assuming that you max out in loans). But I don’t pay for all of my education’s cost, do I? Students often hear how they only pay for 20% of the cost of their education. That’s incorrect. Student fees make up 20% of the average Ontario university’s operating budget, which isquite different from the cost of education. The Ontario Council on University Affairs, an arm of the provincial government, stated that&of 199 1, students were
paying for more than 35% of the cost of their education. If Axworthy’s plan goes through, students might end up paying for up to 70% of the cost. Who
is against these proposals? The provincial government, university administrators, university faculty, staff associations, CUPE locals, and all student groups actually agree on something for the first time in recent history. What is my Federation of Students doing to work against this? Everything it can think of that will help. Your President, Stephen Codrington, has met with Lloyd Axworthy and pointed out to him many of the flaws in the green paper’s logic. David Drewe, who runs your Office of Academic Affairs, and Codrington met with 16 other universities representing schools from coast to coast to develop a unified response to the proposals. They also hosted a forum for students where they debated the proposals with local MPs. On January 25, they are organizing a forum where students can hear the alternatives which have been developed, and register their opinions with government representatives. Further, they have been telling students of the threat these proposals pose by visiting socities and writing articles such as this for Imprin t and other campus newspapers. Couldn’t the+ do more; have a strike, a protest. . . something? They could, quite easily. But being loud doesn’t always help. At times, it hurts. For example, when students marched on Parliament Hill last fall, their cause was hurt because the media portrayed students as spoiled brats. It might make a few students feel good to be able to scream and throw things, but it doesn’t help their cause. How
can I get involved? Pick up a postcard from the Fed Office. Call your MP, Andrew Telegdi, at 746- 1573 to register your disatisfaction. Make sure your professors are participating in the January 25 classroom discussion program. Come out to the forum that night, ask questions, and state your opinion.
“A broadly accessible post-secondaryeducationsystem benefits more than graduates,it benefits society.” This premise is the basis for the approach adopted by your Feds to engage the UW community in responding to Axworthy’s proposals regarding post-secondary education. The Federation of Students, seeking to provide a non-political forum for students to learn about the societal benefits of a broadly-accessible PSE system, has asked that on January 25 professors devote class time to discussing the societal benefits of post-secondary education Next time you are speaking to your professor, find out if they are planning to start a discussion Mention that both on the 25. If not, ask if a guest speaker could come in to stimulate discussion. President Downey and the Deans’ Council have endorsed this event, and the Faculty Assdciation is also in favour of the idea. There’s much room for discussion. The truth is, every recent study indicates that for every dollar government spends on universities, universities return more than that dollar to the government. Society benefits from the development of a highly-skilled, well-trained workforce. Some studies indicate that an employer’s decision where to locate is strongly influenced by the costs of training they will need to bear. University and college graduates suffer a lower unemployment rate than those without post secondary education, which in turn translates into lower unemployment insurance, welfare, and health insurance payouts by government. Classroom sessions are not intended to turn into debates on Axworthy’s proposals or any other recent changes. The goal is to raise awareness of the diverse manner in which education benefits society.
What the Feds are doing On January25, your Federation of Students will be informing students about Axworthy’s proposals to end federal cash support for post-secondary education. At 4:30, in the Modem Languages Theatre, the Federation of Students will be hosting a forum where all members of the university community can hear arguments for and against the proposals, as well as the various alternatives which have been submitted to the Social Security Reform Committee. The speakers for this event are promising. Senior representatives from both levels of government and from university stakeholder groups will be presenting their organizations’ opinions of the proposals and alternatives generated. Further, a response developed at the annual national Directing the Winds of Change conference will be presented. This approach focuses on reason over volume and presents the best chance to understand the issues
National
Strike?.JVOT!!!
Since our return from Christmas Holidays, there has been significant attention given to the Canadian Federation of Students’ call for a national strike, most of it incorrect or incomplete. In last week’s Imprint, for example, James Russell wrote that “it looks like pretty much everyone is involved, except for UW.” There are, however, some pertinent facts UW students should bc aware of regarding the “national” nature of this forum before reaching any conclusions. Firstly, Waterloo is not the only university refusing to advocate a strike. Outside of the Metro Toronto area, support is quite thin. Queen’s, Laurier, Western, and Carleton are not supporting any boycotts. Windsor is neither endorsing nor opposing a strike. Secondly, citing “80 participating campuses”across thecountry is not terribly impressive. There are 17 Universities in Ontario, and more than double that number of colleges. By this standard, the entire “national strike” could almost occur in Ontario alone. Thirdly, on their contact sheet, CFS lists Waterloo as participating, and gives Bryan Smyth as our contact. They do this despite their knowledge that the sole organization representing undergraduates at UW has refUsed to support their protest in any way. They also did this without Smyth’s knowledge, as the first he knew of this was when we informed him. To cite UW among the “national strike participants,” when the anticuts committee numbers less than a dozen at most meetings and claims to represent no one but themselves is questionable. Further, it raises the question of how many other campuses are truly participating. Paul Estabrooks and Shauna Curry, student Presidents of the University of New Brunswick and University of Saskatchewan, have said that at their schools and many others, CFS pushed the strike through International Socialist clubs on campuses. These scl~ools are listed as participating, much the same as Waterloo. There are 15,868 full time students at UW, A self-appointed group representing less than a dozen speaks for the entire campus, according to CFS. There are almost 7000 full time students at UNB, yet a self-appointed group of less than fifty speaks for that entire campus, also according to CFS. Don’t buy the song and dance that a “national student” strike may occur. There may exist an “International Socialists” strike, or perhaps a “partial CFS membership” strike, but in no way is this strike national. The plan for the forum, along with the classroom speaking program, has been well-received by non-student groups on campus, with endorsements from UW President Dr. James Downey and all six faculty Deans.
Strike will hurt student needs Last week’s Imprint carried a call by Bryan Smyth of the UW AntiCuts Action Committee for the UW Federation of Students to endorse a day of protest on January 25, as part of the CFS’ call for a strike. After much debate on both sides of the issue, your student representatives voted against supporting, in any way, a student strike. Those calling for and organizing strikes should reconsider, because they are actually hurting their chances for success. In order to win this fight, student leaders need to convince the general public that a broadly accessible post-secondary education system benefits society, not just the students who make use of it. Having 15,000 UW students against EPF cuts is okay. Having 300,000 K-W area voters against EPF cuts will make a larger difference. . A strike, like the November protest on Parliament Hill, will not win students any friends in the community. In November the media portrayed students as “whiny” and unwilling to pay their share of education costs, lobbing eggs at a respected politician. Later this month, we can expect a similar reaction from the media towards students “skipping class to complain about fees.” We can’t win this by arguing that continued federal funding is the right thing to do. Instead, we have to convince society that cutting back on funding will hurt the country. Allowing ourselves to be portrayed as a special interest group will nul11cly tllis G~USG. When Chambers of Commerce, small business associations, and large employers take up students’ cause then our voice will be increased, because these groups are seen as contributors to the economy, and thus worthy in the government’s eyes.

f the pundits arc correct, and basketball’s OUAA West con sists of a two-team horserace for first place with a scramble for the other four playoff spots, then the Waterloo Warriors took a big step this week toward repeating their third-place finish of last season. Last weekend,theyopcned the 1995 regular-season campaign with a dominating two-game sweep of the Lakehead Nor’ Westers, 9 l-75 and 87-70, and followed up with a 102-79 pasting of the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks on Wednesday night to compile a 3-O record. Head coach Tom Kieswetter attributes the team’s success to a strong notion of team play and the contributions of his bench. “We are playing as a team,” said Kieswetter. “The ball is moving, we’re hitting the open player, and therefore we’re getting the high percentage shots. “We’re getting great help from the bench. They’re coming into the game ready to play full out, so we can wear teams down. Jf the other team gets something going, we can go to the bench and get some more energy.” The team’s confidence in the
paint is another huge factor, as a preseason injury to Tom Balfe allowed a refurbished and confident Mark Hopkins to move back to the starting post position this year. When Balfe returned to the active duty, he returned to his forward position. “Part of the coach’s plan was to get Tom [Balfe] and I on the court together,” said Hopkins, who shot &of- 10 while scoring 18 points and retrieving 9 rebounds against the Golden Hawks. And what of his added confidence’? “That has a lot to do with opportunities. We’ve realized over the last couple of years that we have to go inside to be successful. The more the ball comes in, the more I get to shoot, and the better I feel. And that gets more production from our outside game as well.” On Wednesday, the Hawks’ biggest challenge came early in the second halfwhen they pulled within seven, 58-5 1, before Waterloo put on the afterburners with a 22-6 run to lead 80-57 with 9:23 to play. FiAh-year forward Sean Van Koughnett had his usual brilliant night, shooting 5-of-8 from treyland on the way to 29 points. Nick Poulimenos and Balfe scored I8 and 13 points respectively.

Noteworthy also are Lori Kraemer, whose eight rebounds made up a huge part ofthe game, and rookies Nancy MacDougall and Adrienne Cil lis, who have demonstrated that they have more than just potential. Wednesday’s win was a well timed confidence booster, as the Athenas lost both games of their double header last weekend,playing host to theLakehea&adyNor’Wcsters. In two well matched games, UW managed to keep on top of Lakehead for the majority of the play, but couldn’t hang on to the leads, going down in the last few minutes of play in both games. Final scpres stood at 59-72 Friday, and 67-74 Saturday. Not having met Lakehead in the pre-season, the Athenas had little idea what to expect, other than the fact that the Nor’ Westers were seeking revenge.

High scorers for the Athenas were athlete of the week Sue Kruis, with 22 points, 9 boards, and 4 steals, and Max Lapthornc, a rookie point guard. “Max will be arcally outstanding player,” says Keats.

Despite this, the Marauders defeated Waterloo in four sets, of which the Athenas took the first, 15-4. The Athenas lost to McMaster earlier this season, a team tied with Western for first place in the OWIAA - West Division at the beginning of the term. It was particularly during the first set that the potential of the team could truly be seen. After all, the team is young and largely inexperienced, playing with six first year students, four second year students, and only one third year student. According to Dena Deglau, head coach of the team, this may explain why the team plays inconsistently, despite the obvious talent available. “In general, the team is executing better, the passing stats are improving, and the potential is there.” The Marauders took the remaining three sets with scores of 15-7, 15-5, and 15-3. In general, the Marauders appeared more confident and less flustered with the occasional loss of serve. They also seemed to have the ability to return the ball when the Athenas may not have been expecting it. A lack of passing on behalf of the Athenas, combined with too many unforced errors may have accounted for their loss. However,
IMPRINT,
Laurier it was evident from their first game that these faults were due to nervousness, rather than lack of ability. After having lost the first game, McMaster took an early lead in the second. The Athenas, surprised by this, seemed unable to react and readjust their playing. Dena Deglau feels that “with the initial lead taken by the Marauders, the team lost their confidence. It became frustrating because the talent is there, and it’s just in a i’ew places here and there where crucial points are lost.” During the third game, the Athenas yelled for focus and tried to increase communication between each other by calling for the ball more often despite McMaster’s early lead once again, In fact, the Marauders won eight points before the Athenas got their first. Successful serves on behalf of Andrea Kaufman brought the Athena’s their only points during this game. The fourth and final game was taken by the Mamuders with seemingly little effort. Despite this, with seven games left in the regular season, the Athenas are still optimistic about claiming one of the four spots available in the playoffs. A crucial step in attaining this spot was overcome this Wednesday, when the Athenas were guests to Laurier in a volleyball doubleheader. Previous to Wednesday night, Laurier and Waterloo were tied in the volleyball league standings, in the OWlAA - West Division. The Athenas won this game with relative ease, with a game score of 3- I. This team was looking much more relaxed and confident as they played the Laurier team. The raw talent that is so evidently there, but not consistently shown, was obvious on this night. It is this talent that Dena Deglau continues to hope will secure the fourth and final spot in the playoffs.

over a second in an event that is sometimes determined by hundredths, even thousandths, of a second. Even after exhausting himself with these tremendous efforts, he could still do no worse than 3rd in the 200m backstroke and4th in the 1OOm backstroke consoi. Chris was also the difference between 3rd and 4th place for his 4 x 1OOm free relay team, making up for over a two second stagger on the anchor leg. Outstanding! After a long lay-off due to that pesky work-term, veteran Ian Hunt is starting to show signs of his legendary sprinting prowess. Ian, or “Crash,” as he is affectionately known, placed 2nd in both the 1OOm butterfly and the 5Om freestyle. He was 3rd after the 5Om fly and grabbed 8th in the 1OOm freestyle. James Ryans and Chris Palin went one-two in the consolation round of the 200m freestyle. Both posted times faster than the 4th and 6th place times in the final. Bryan “Butthead” Nortnandin finished 6th overall in the 400m I.M., 4th in the 50 free consol, as well as 5th place finishes in cons& for the 200 KM. and 50m back respectively. Greg Stump and Adrian Mendes were 3rd and 4th in the 1 OOm butterfly consol. “Stumpy” went on to place first in the 200m fly consolation and 5th in the 1OOm breaststroke consol. Adrian enjoyed equal success with a first in the 5Om fly and a7th in the 50m free consols. Trevor Denstedt joined Stump in the 200m butterfly to finish 5th, and was a much improved 2nd in the 200m backstroke consol final. New addition Robert Rogut is proving to be a formidable sprinter and a welcome member of the team. He posted impressive times, ciaiming 2nd in the 50m free consoi, 4th in the 1OOm free consol, and was a major contributer to the relays. Mitesh Kotecha is getting back into shape after his work-term, and it showed with his 3rd place in the 5Om breast consol and his 7thplace in the 200m breast. The middle-distance tandem of Jason Cull and Randy Gordon cruised to 4th and 7th in the 50m backstroke consols as well. Good job, boys! Sean, as well as all the other swimmers who brought timers to the heats are to be commended for their efforts.

t’s always good to know that the team ranked 9th in the country refuses to go down without a fight. They also arc expecting their national ranking to go up after their showing this weekend. The Black Plague travelled to Winnipeg last weekend to battle scvcral teams nationally ranked higher then itself, and finished with a 1-3 rccord. In their first game, they beat McMaster easily 3-0, with scores of f 5-6, I 5-3, and 15-1. Unfortunately, they lost with the same score to Laval, ranked third in the country, in their second game, with set scores of 6-15, 9-15, and 15-17. In their third game, they lost again 3-O to top ranked Manitoba Bisons, with set scores of 14- 16,l l15, and 15- 17. It was in this game

that Matt Reid, team forward, injured earlier in the season, played his best of the tournament, according to head coach Ed Price. Although middle-man Al Schroeder led overall in points, with 63 over four matches, Reid led points during the Manitoba match. According to Price, “We’ve been working hardest on defencc since Christmas, and it was particularly during this game that it all started to come together”. This was shown by the fact that despite the loss, the Warriors pushed Manitoba to extra points in two of the three games. In fact, in two of the games, Waterloo was serving for game point and wcrc just unable to pull it together for the win. Finally, they lost to the hosts, the Winnipeg Wcsman, ranked 5th in the country, with set scores of 515, 9-15, and I l-15. Despite their lack of success last weekend, the team is ranked

first in Ontario with a record of 6-O. And, this temporary lack of success this weekend may be due to the fact that they are still coming off three major injuries; and arc therefore arc more succeptible to fatigue than normal. It also didn’t help that they were schedualed to leave the province for the tournament on Thursday, and were unable to do so until Friday; because of bad weather. Nevertheless, the talent is there and truly came through in their Wednesday game against Laurier. Coach Ed Price expected this win; even so, the Black Plague exceeded their own expectations by winning in less than 40 minutes with a game score of 3-O. From theirperformancc during this game, it is evident why there is so much hope in a rise of this team’s overall national ranking. The Warrior Volleyball team can’t be stopped on their climb up the ladder.

oor snow conditions resulted in the Nordic Ski Team’s greatest challenge yet as they overcame tough racing conditions to earn many top placings at last weekend’s race, including a bronze medal performance by rookie Dave Climie. The Mono Nordic Race on Saturday, January 14 was to be held at Orangeville, but Mother Nature’s cruel change of seasons melted all of the snow, forcing officials to relocate to Duntroon Highlands. Duntroon also suffered from the warm temperatures and rain such that the race course consisted of laps around a 2km loop. Perhaps the greatest challenge was carrying skis and self up to the race course, as thick mud created a good enough resistance to provide a pre-race warm-up. The women raced first, completing three laps of the course as it started to sprinkle rain. Former Athena Lisa Patterson

he ice Warriors had an up and down road trip last weekend as they lost 7-2 to Western and won 3- 1 over Windsor. The victory against Windsor ends a four game losing streak for LVaterloo that saw them go head-tohead with the top two teams in the division. The win has given the Warriors a new confidence as they head into this weekend’s action against the same two teams. “WC played very well in both hockey games,” said Head Coach Don MC Kee after the win and loss. “The victory against Windsor on their home ice was a key win for us because it puts a four point spread between us and them for the last playoff spot.” Waterloo, now 6-6-2, hopes to make that a six point spread after this weekends action, but first they will have to go through the division leading Western Mustangs. “The Western games are always very physical,“commented MC Kee. “When we play Western, it’s extremely tough hockey. They are a very big team and they are very talented. Our team wants to be able to beat them at every part of the game and sometimes because of the size difference we end up being prone to injuries.” That is was what happened last weekend when Mike Chambers and Chris Kramer both were hurt in the Western game and were not available for Sunday’s game. Kramer out with a charlie horse and Chambers, a shoulder injury are both expected to play in this weekend’s games. There is also a chance that Steve Smith might be back. Smith, out because of knee surgery since December, is skating again. If given the green light to play

Scott Curry followed at 19th with 36:20, Kevin Thomson came in at 25th with 37: 14, and Chris Norris had a time of 3755 to come in at 28.

This weekend’s race, on Saturday and Sunday, January 21 and 22, was originally scheduled to be held at Duntroon. However, constant rain has obliterated the remaining snow, and the races have been moved to Hardwood Hills in Barrie where they have snowmakers. These races will be the remaining team qualifiers for the university championships, which are quickly approaching.

When Steve Smith comes back and plays at the style that he’s used to. Me plays with reckless abandonment and that’s why he is hurt a Iot of the time.” said MC Kee, in obvious delight that he might have this intense hockey player back once agam.

FurnaceFace ROCK! ! Furnaceface w/ Hayden Bombshelter Thursday January 12 by Scott Imprint
ince the September release of Furnaceface’s sophmore effort, This Will Make You Happy, I have attempted, on three separate occasions, to see the band live, and on all three attempts my noble goals have been thwarted. Fabulous! It’s taken me 6 months to see them and it has been worth the wait. Fumaceface does not dazzle with special effects or intricate lighting (obviously they couldn’t have, since they played the Bomber!), nor do they mesmerize their fans with theatrics. They simply play, and boy, do they ROCK! Although the two video screens showed a wide variety of images during the show, they were vastly unnecessary, and

unwatched. This band merely plays their music. Surprisingly, the band’s sound comes across very well in a live setting. Many ofthe songs contain samples and intricate pieces of synth work, but through the use of preprogramming and a guest keyboardist, the band pulled off the sounds of the albums quite nicely, with the exception of “The Ballad of Richard lommi.” It’s too bad that the back-up voices were not added to this song, as the chorus doesn’t really stand up without them. However, no show can be perfect, so I tried not to dwell on the dismal petiormance of the song that made me fall in love with the band. The band obviously has a serious element ofhumour injected into their music. But witty banter between songs, such as the band’s suggestion that no one at the show actually went to Waterloo, but rather it was all the regular people who

Also, the ad libbing oflines like “All I can say is, Kurt bought it!” helped to entertain fans who knew all the lyrics. All I can say is that if you like entertaining music that makes you think, you shlould have already checked Fumaceface out. Fans of the local indie scene may be familiar with the opening act, “Hayden,” as he has apparently been cropping up at local shows quite a bit lately. I’m not trying to suggest that Hayden is not a tafented songwriter, musician and performer, but...I Ithink my friend put it best in four words: “Nirvana Unplugged Channelling Tour.” Thank god Kurt has found someone to help him in his quest to continue to bring us his musical vision.

hat started out as a bared that was put together for a house party in I99 I has turned into an award winning, record setting sensation. (Gypsy Soul currently hold the record for the highest attcndancc at a weckday show at the El Macombo and the 1994 YTV Achicvemcnt Award for bands.) .Just r? few of the impressive musicians they have shared the stage with arc: Rhinos, Fat Cats, Hopping Penguins, One, Bourbon Tabcrnaclc Choir, Scvcnth Stone, 54.40 and - their biggest honour of all Macco Parker (Jamcs Brown’s original sax player). However, Gypsy Soul is cstablishing an irnprcssivc reputation in thcirown right. With the relcasc of their first full length CD cntitlod Pr*csf*rilxd Vibe many people arc boginning to understand what all of the hype is about; they are quite simply amazing. You can xc for yourself, bcGill-2 today is the official rclcase date of the video for “Black Book Man” - which should bc foilowcd up with ;I Much Music guest appcarancc around the twenty-eighth. One defining feature of their music is the horn section which consists of two classically trained musicians: Cathy Craig (trumpet) and Evan Cranlcy (trombone) complemcntcd by Ewan Millar who doubles on tenor sax and guitar. Al though the horns give Gypsy Soul a funky retro seventies sound, they accurately point out that it is “as new as it is rcminisccnt.” They arc not just copying what has been done bcforc. All of the songs on Pv~,scvibcd Vi& were arranged by the band. The horns were arranged by Cranlcy, Craig and Miliar and the percussion was arranged by Darrcn Shearer (drums) and Cranley (congas). If you get the chance to see them, go. Their live performance is an experience that you will remember for a long time afterwards. On lead vocals Lauren Bauer is hypnotic and sings his soul out. Darren is solid on drums, Trevor
Bedard is funky on bass, David fills the music nicely, but doesn’t try to over dominate the sound, while Cathy and Evan add that g-cat horn sound that ties it all togcther. With seven mcmbcrs Gypsy Soul they try not
to compete with each other but with thcmsclvcs, trying to work off of and learn from each other. They work so well together that it is somctimes difficult for them to be separated from Kickin’ out the Gypsy jam. each other. Lauren cxplaincd that this was plays some great harmonica. They the case in the studio: “WC work more than fulfilled their obligation well as a band; as a unit.

It was hard enough to The Fat Cats arc no strangers scparatc and say O.K. this is my to the K-W sccnc and have a solid part; much less try to play with a fan base, some of which travel in full feel.” from out oftown quite frequently to Evan bclicvcs that: “the bcncome and see them perform here. chits are that you find out what kind Deanna and the guys gave a of musician you are.

This time however ,I found it experience in the studio.

It is not so adaptable, however, to the street, Central Park, or a slum-area apartment lit by a blinking neon sign. More perniciously, the set design severely limits the actors’ freedom to move. How much can they or the director do with a couch and two chairs smack-dab in the middle of the room? Scene after scene, locale after locale, the same paths

“...Running...” an astounding multi-media installation, featuring the work of K-W artist Taras Oleksiw, stands still for a breath at the Waterloo Community Arts Centre. The exhibition, on display at the Button Factory only until today, boasts close to i 50 different pieces, certainly an impressive chronicle of the artist’s progression since the early 70s. Highly conscious of atmospherics, Qleksiw ensures that the experience is as much aural as it is visual. As you wend your way through the room, elaborately set
as tin inviting labyrinth, expect to hear the f’amiliar gravclling of Leonard Cohen or perhaps the bleak, barren voice of T. S. Eliot reading a selection of his equally bleak and barren poetry. Also, barely discemiblc yet tenaciously constant, is the pulsing repetition of a heartbeat. , Oleksiw’s style is not easily pegged, for he unabashedly explores a wealth of possibilities within a variety of-media. It doesn’t all work, but certainly within the context of the exhi bition as a whole, it is an astonishing testimony to his tireless versatility. The subject matter ranges greatly from abstract expressions of pure emotion to acerbic social commentary. At times. he even employs a cartoonist’s touch in balancing out the dark subject matter with a welcome tinge of humour.

hen I saw the title of this movie, I thought it sounded poetic, and when I discovered that Anthony Hopkins was starring in it, I expected it would be at least a tolerable Holly-woody depiction of tragic love. Was I correct? Hardly. Granted, I should have checked who the leading actor was. Yes, I know, I know, Brad Pitt is considered the hottest guy around, but in this movie that’s all he has going for him. Please, don’t say that’s all he needs! Rob Lowe was considered as hot, and where is he now? Let me sum up this movie. To set the atmosphere, I’ll list a few of the infinite themes: we’ve got the Indians protected by enlightened ex-soldiers co-existing in the virgin
W
USA (Dances with Wolves), a budding colonisation and desperate love affair (Fur and Away), a tour through Africa’s deep, dark, tangled wcb(ApocalypseAJow), a wild, brooding male romantic, ( WutheringfIeights), a horrific and intense war scene (Platoon), and much, much more! Hopkins’ acting was respectable, particularly in the second half of the movie. I personally can’t say that he makes Legends of the Full worth the eight bucks, but I didn’t walk out solely on the basis of Hopkins’ role. Maybe I am being harsh, but they stole material from some good flicks and cheapened their worth. Brad Pitt’s character hints at broodiness and morality, yet never evolves over the 14 years where he should be maturing from boy to man; the ending leaves so many open questions that it feels like a soap opera on a Friday afternoon. One plus to the flick is the
cinematography. The scenery is lush and the camera techniques are, at times, admirable, but the plot destroyed any enjoyment I might have received. The women are always bawling over poor little Tristan (Brad Pitt), and I mean this quite literally; the leading lady does not have one scene without crying. It is supposed to symbolize her true love for Tristan, but she does get romantically involved with all three sons of Anthony Hopkins, so how “in love” can she really be? I know that it’s up for four Golden Globe nominations, Siskel and Ebert gave it their two thumbs up, and I saw some tacky quote like “live the legend, heartbeat by heartbeat,” but I think it was a shit flick. So, if you want to see Brad Pitt and don’t care about context, by all means go because you’ll get it (yes, yes, you see him naked). But, I swear, other than his butt, there ain’t much to the legend.
Oh the humanitv! Habitat for Humanity at UW Second Annual Benefit Concert Saturday January 21st Huether Hotel by Heather Calder special to Imprint
T
his Saturday, don’t miss your chance to listen to five great bands for four bucks. Habitat for Humanity at UW is becoming more prominent on campus as interest grows in their work. Last year, Habitat organized a benefit to help fund renovatiovs on the Oasis drop-in ccntre in downtown Kitchcner. This year, the focus of the benefit shifts from renovation to construction. The proceeds of the Second Annual Benefit Concert will go towards Collegiate Challenge ‘95. Twenty students from Waterloo and Laurier are spending their Reading Week in Washington,
Pennsylvania. The group will be working all week to complete several houses. Diversity is the theme of the Second Annual Benefit Concert, as we meet some of the same bands that graced the Huether’s stage last year while introducing you to a couple of new talents. Leading the lineup is Mark Stutman, an ES student at Waterloo. Mark will open the show with a relaxed acoustic set. He’ll be followed by Sweet William, who played their folky harmonies last year to the delight of the audience. The band is made up of three women, recently kept busy recording . Watch for their CD in local stores. Third up is Joie de Vivre, celebrating the first anniversaryoftheir new name. Last year the band used the benefit to reveal their new identity, calling themselves the Nameless in promotion. The band’s mix of men and women, acoustic and
IMPRINT, Friday, January 20, 1995
electric, folk and rock, promises to keep the audience entertained and happy* The tempo of the concert will pick up as Soul Hammer takes the stage. This seven member band from Toronto features several brass instruments and has played frequently in the area recently. The concert will finish-with the fabulously popular Immigrants, a Celtic Rock band from Hamilton. Last year Habitat could not get these guys off the stage - and we didn’t want to! The floor was in jeopardy as the audience bounced to the strains of their mandolins and guitars. The concert is a cheap, and fun, way to spend a Saturday night, Admission is a $4 or $5 donat ion to Habitat, and doors open at 8pm. If you can’t go to Pennsylvania, come out to the Huether this Saturday, find out more about Habitat, and support the trip. See you there!

t one point in Daniel Jones’ new collection of short autobiographical fiction, the narrator, a teacher at York University, recounts being forced to justify assigning a low grade to his student’s fiction. “The story was well constructed,” he recalls. “But...every noun and verb was modified by a string of inappropriate adjectives and adverbs.” The same cannot be said ofrl?e People One Knows. Jones’ sparse prose treats the everyday movements of his characters as they are, rather dull. Following the paranoid philandering of Jones and his acquaintances over a ten year stretch, 2% People Onu Knows crcates an atmosphere of alienation and disenchantment with mainstream Toronto life. The characters fret over their post-punk lives, wondering where the next hit will come from, drinking and smoking incessantly, vomiting in donut shops, confused by the disappearance of their youthful rebellion, Jones’ tempered writing style plays well on the emptiness of his characters lives. They are skeletons of their past, unwilling to persevere into an uncertain future. They lack embellishment. The Prqde One Knmtts is we11 constructed, however. The linked stories act as a spiral for the last ten years of Jones’ lift, with both ends of the book pointing, circling towards the center, the culmination

ustralia’s Gillian Armstrong directs this ver sion of Little Wonzefi. Based on Louisa May Alcott’s novel of the same name, it foIlows the lives of the four March sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, as they become women in 1860s New England. While learning how to live from their beloved mother or Marmee, they search for their place in the world. Love, death, and tears are part of the experience, which influence who they become. Made into a film for the third time, this well loved story was first released in 1933, with Katherine Hepburn as Jo. In the 1940s picture, June Allyson took over the main role. This latest version is quite faithful to the original novel, but is jumpy in spots with limited story development. Winona Ryder is the boisterous and tomboyish Jo. An aspiring writer and modern thinker, she too often suffers from shyness and a Iack of determination. With mare focused attention of the role, the actress will give her character its much needed fire and energy. Susan Sarandon plays the wise and selfless Marmee with a quiet and gentle
of those ten years. At the height of the book, rest the best two stories: “The Poet’s Wife,” and “Who I am .” “The Poet’s Wife,” the only story written in third person, recounts the fall from grace of a young poet, the best in his class, as he retreats from writing, contemplating his next great work but afraid to write. The poet, Andrew, talks con-
stantly of his poems while his wife goes about her life and bookstore job, ultimately surprising Andrew by publishing her own poems through a large publisher. Andrew thinks it is all a joke and not until he realises the implications ofher book does he, again, feel the need to write. “Who 1 Am” is the most complicated story in 77~e Peqdc One Knows, simply because it is the most personal. As a university teacher and a man with an identity crises, the narrator is trapped in the bizarre world of sexual politics
which encircles the university. He does not know how to lead his own life and cannot succeed at leading students, especially the attractive females, through theirs, , On the subway home from school, a female student tells him she is ignored by another male instructor because she is a woman but not attractive. The narrator resents the position she has put him in. He would like to help her but cannot say anything, not just because he doesn’t want to compromise himself, but becausle he fmds her attractive. Forced into sexually/politically charged situations and expected to guide his students out, he finds himself unable to do anything - he can’t make hisoffice hours, he can’t write, he can’t relate to his wife, he can’t even open the newspaper because he is afraid of what he’ll find there. Jones’ characters, including his own, arc troubled, confused, and directionless. They wander the streets of downtown Toronto, from the Annex down through College and Queen West, in search of something to make them feel like something human. The Peupk Che Knows is a poignant and revealing look at a disaffected generation. And unlike the writingofmany students, Jones’ book, his nouns and verbs, are allowed to stand on their own, to tell their own story. While this lack of embellishment does, at times, make one wonder whether it is worthwhile to read on, perhaps this is precisely the effect Jones was writing for. Unfortunately, Daniel Jones committed suicide in February 1994, ten months before this book was published.

It’s a shame that most attention on the Silver Jews seems to be almost exclusively focused on the Pavement angle. As a supposed “side project” ofthe indie rock gods (the Silver Jews features Pavement leader Steve Malkmus and fellow members Bob Nastanovich and Steve West) none of this in itself is necessarily a bad thing. Far from it, actually. It’s just a little sad that head Joo D a v i d Berman stems to be almost exclusively overlooked in most of Starlitr Walker’s preambles, because make no mistake, the Silver Jews are Berman’s band. As such, some Pavement fans will no doubt be a little ticked that Sturlite Walker loses a lot of Pavement’s buzzing guitars and mamc electricity. Truth be told, much of the album is totally laid-back and countrified. Despair not, however. The stripped-down songs are aimost al-
ways uniformly gorgeous and Berman has a great ear for melody and turns of phrase -- “There is a house in New Orleans, not the one you’ve heard about I’m talking about another house” (“New Orleans”) -- that are at once both reverentiaI and warmly humourous. Dcspitc the obvious differences between Pavement and the Silver Jews, there are also many similarities and it comes as little surprise that Berman and Malkmus have been long-time buddies as their tastes for rhythm and harmony are remarkably similar. Pavement fans will find the songs “Pan American Blues,” “Living Waters,” and “The Silver Pageant” especially enticing. Moreover, should Pavcment’s last effort Crc)o ked Rain, Cranked Rain be any indication, (and the fact that much oftheir sound is getting strip-mined by Weezer wannabes, etc.), I wouldn’t be at a11 surprised should Starlitc’s sound will be Pavement’s immediate future direction. At the very least, Studite Walker is :much more than just a simple side project and should be of interest to both fans of Pavement and rural American roots rock as well.

Smoother’s Copycat is the latest in the fIurry of releases from Hamilton’s Sonic Unyon in the late months of 1994. You might have heard of them when they went under the moniker of Sponge. Due to problems with a band from the States the band changed its name to Smoother. Like label-mates Tristan Psionic and Treblecharger, Smoother plays a brand of powerpop but they also incorporate a little punk. Copycat is a fine debut album which should go right along side Green Day in your collection. While both Smoother and Green Day are both catchy as all get out, Smoother utilizes their second guitar to the fullest. It is a departure from that bare-bones sound that
really leapt to the forefront in 1994. The guitars are in your face. The production is quite reminiscent of Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins. Youcan’t help but grab the nearest guitar-like object and stand in front of the mirror when
listening to this album. It’s not just the riffs that’11 get you hooked either, they also employ some nifty guitar sound effects that provide a mood in the background of each song. The rhythm section is quite capable and they provide a solid foundation for the guitar work.
screamed vocals and are not great for rcpcatcd listens. The plus is that this heavy, out of control fun will be great to surf to, should Pearl Jam ever detide to tour again. In this mishmash, there are some really great songs; it is unfortunate that it is up to the listener to weed them out df the pile. Lead singer Andrew’s (no last name provided) voice is nothing special at first listen. But after repcatcd listenings I find his voice has real character. There’s a slight growl that keeps him from being just another guy with little vocal range. The standout tracks include “Juicehead,” “Jurk,” and “Cudjule,” which features a great vocal hook: “You smother me/ I’ll smother you”. With 15 tracks the album does drag on a bit though. Songs like “Grin and Bear 1t”and “Fat Albert”could’ve been left off. But waiting at the end of the CD is Smoother’s masterpiece “‘The Hockey Game.” This song is brilliant. It seems to be a satire of over-dramatic music. They create some very moody riffs but the lyrics are about hockey. It seems to ridicule the music ofgroups like Tool and Rollins Band while summing up the Canadian obsession with hockey. It’s simply outstanding. With this album, Smoother proves to be a band to look out for in the future.

won’t forget. The music hammers itself into your mind as Zedek enchants her gothic-like emotional melodies into you. “Finish Line” squeals out six minutes of endearing guitar licks and Zedek rasping out harrowing lyrics with enough moodiness to yearn a dose of Prozak. Many of the ten songs follow this trend of feelings of dark, sullen emptiness. But Zedek always offers that ray of hope as her voice gathers strength and finishes off the songs on a strong
note. “Mercury Falls” is another dynamite tune which brings Courtney Love’s singing style to mind. Zedek channels her energy into sombre lyrics but dresses them with a riding guitar and spits them out with devout emotion. She plays call and response with her guitar on “Poison” and switches up the tempo from fast to a sudden slow which makesforan interesting listen. “German Song” 43 is the first to add a ballad-esque note to thealbum. The first two minutes uti I ize simple guitar picking, as the drums build up to a tumoultuous growl. In a childlike voice Zefdek innocently delivers the lyrics lined with powerchord hooks that instantly sink in. The darker mood to the album is a running thieme throughout all of these songs, however the lighter side is begotten through the masterful delivery. Definitely one ofthe highlights of 1994.

Don’t let anyone tell you that it isn’t cool to listen to the Gogo’s. Sure it’s smaltzy, girly rock about what jerks guys are and stuff, but they have their place; they are the pink chiffon to L7’s burlap, the Shirley Temple to PJ Harvey’s double whiskey on the rocks. And, sometimes, one needs arespite from the hard side of things. Keep in mind that they were recording in a time when none of the above acts existed, when an all-girl band playing their own instruments was unheard of in mainstream pop. So it’s all here for fans on Return of the VaUey of the Gag0 ‘s. There’s something for everybody: it has all the big hits for the neophyte collector, obscure B-sides for those who still own the records, and completely unreleased live tracks, demos, and three brand new songs for completists (they must exist somewhere). On paper, the biggest problem with the whole project is the fact that the Gogo’s were always a singles band, at their best when played on AM radio in three minute blasts. A two disk, thirtysix track epic would seem a bad
what’s surprising is how strong many of the non-single tracks are. Alongside fantastic pop music like “We Got the Beat,” “Vacation,” and “Turn to You,” there are Bsides like “Surfing and Spying”and “Speeding” that showcase some fine surf music riffs. There’s the really (and I’m not kidding!) low-fi early punk days of the band, showcased for a mass audience for the first time. Some of this is almost unlistenable, but other ones like “Johnny Are You Queer?” (finding out the boy you like is gay) and “Fun With Ropes” are rather clunkily nice. Finally there are the three new songs, especially the powerpop fest that is “The Whole World Lost Its Head;” a good tune, in spite of the ridiculous “Punk rock isn’t dead” line. I mean, this coming from the woman who gave the world “Circle in the Sand?” So basically it’s an improvment over their 1990 greatest hits camp, and also a collection which is not suited to be heard in one listen, lest your teeth fall out from the sugar content. And that’s reason there raison d’etre anyway, is’nt it? You may be more in the mood for this in
the summer, and so if you buy it now you may thank yourself then. Though it is an investment, for many kids out there it might be worth it.

Before winning the Governor General’s Award in 1966, Margaret Atwood wrote a book cvcry year and each one was rejected. , Atwood commenlcd in an interview with June Callwood that: “Everybody has what they call ’ juvcnilia, and this was juvcnilia. .. .

Blind Caddy sc‘cm to be at the spouting stage right now with their first full length release, entitled Made Ya Look.
Unfortunately, what is inside the case is not as compelling as what is on the outside. The creative, down to earth feeling that the cover-photo of Billy (by Cheryl Thicssen)
conveys is not consistent with the kind of music that is inside. Off of the whole eight song cassette, “Reason” was the only song that I wanted to listen to again. It has a nice little harmonica groove that gives it a very down-to-earth sound, which fits their group philosophy of “Look ma, no attitude!” For the most part however, their lyrics do not complement their (self-proclaimed “non-categorized”) l sound. which is DOD rock

As well, any sense of empathy with Jon Koop,the lead singer in “Thank Myself’ is lost when the words “don’t leave me alone” are sung with a macho rock attitude. With lyrics like “she’ll take you higher/ she’s your only desire,” it looks like Made Ya Locrk is not going to make Blind Cadd) into an overnight sensation.

Recently signed to do a television series for Disney and a series of specials for the BBC, Corky andThe Juice Pigs are finally on the verge of “making it big.” After performing in Toronto for years in clubs and husking, and several international tours, The Juice Pigs have taken some oftheir best works to create Pants. Fans will rccognize “Rabies” and “Janitor” from the live shows, along with “Pants,” “Enviro-Girl,” and most of the other tracks. “The Church (of the Well-Endowed Man)” is simply hilarious, as is “Dolphin Boy,” the story of a boy who Iiked dolphins just a tad too much. The highlight of the album is definitely “REMember,” which savages REM’s lyrics and music. Sean Cullen’s mockery of the angst and bewilderment of REM is unmatched, and hard to accurately describe; you have to hear it. Overall, Pants suffers a bit from The
IMPRINT,
Juice Pigs’ imminent transition - they are about to break away from impromptu, chaotic live shows and head towards more polished, fixed sets. Anyone who has ever seen a live Juice Pigs’ show knows that, for all their songwriting brilliance, the best parts are when the trio breaks off on a tangent, creating new verses and songs with reckless abandon (and an amazing ability to both stay hysterically finny and keep a tune). Yet for obvious reasons an album can’t contain all of that energy. Their untitled debut album did a far better job of conveying the sense of inspiration and enthusiasm that make The Juice Pigs what they are (there is no overlap in songs between the two albums). While the debut was far rougher in sound than Pants, it felt more appropriate to The Juice Pigs’ style.Panlsin a way is almost too polished; “Pants -The Boot Cut”is still really good (listen for the splicing), but all of the technical innovation can’t make up for not seeing the group perform live. The Juice Pigs are at their best live, and an album can’t live up to that. But when all is said (or sung) and done, Pants is a great comedy album.

Unlike many bands whose hype taints their success, Echobelly has managed as good a relationship with the UK press as one can probably have. Sure they’ve been hyped pretty fevently since their Be&x&e EP was released in November of ‘93, but without the same hysteria that has accompanied Blur and Oasis, and as such the press has been more objective. In other words, they don’t trumpet them as some sort of gods beamed into this mortal coil to absolve us (or something), but they call it as it is: Echobelly is an exceptionally good group, not above a bad review here and there, but generally a very consistent and solid pop band. Cheers! This is their first full-length album (ac-

tually out in England in August), and should do wefl to ensure a multi-year career for the ‘Belly. They wear their influences proudly and obviously, as does almost every new band out of England in ‘94. In this case we have music resembling the Smiths at their most clattering, with a healthy influx of New Wave sensibilities, while lead singer Sonya Aurorn-Maden styles her vocals somewhere between Morrissey and P.J. Harvey. The vocals tread a fine line of rlomantic subjects, occasionally slipping into kit( ,Qchen-sink melodrama, but overall she has some interesting ideas, lyrics of barbed intent, all delivered with some pretty vocal gymnastics. So there are srbngs like “Give Her a Gun,” a charged story of female oppression building to the breakpoint, “makes no sense, goes against the gender/let her anger curse the years of oppression/blame the mother, sell the sister/before she blows you away” goes Sonya, over a crashing jangle of guitars, which is no doulbt a little showy, but the song’s sheer tunefulness and her wonderful voice belie any of these concerns. There’s lots of tunefulness here, no doubt influenced by the Moz et co., but with bits of the Beatles (“I Can’t Imagine the World Without Me”) and even Blondie in certain spots. Success in America of course will be elusive, but if the Cranberries can hit it big, there’s absolutely no reason why Echobelly can’t do the same thing, especially since they possess a considerably greater amount of talent than Dolores and her sometimes dull crew. Buy this album, and you can say you were in on the ground floor.

This is a compilation of the artists who are involved with the small, East Coast label Cinnamon Toast. The label is probably most famous for its association withcurrent SubPop recording artist Jale. The majority of these 15 tracks can be found on the various vinyl releases put out by the label. This collection happens to be Cinnamon Toast’s first foray into the world of compact discs. While everyone seems to go ape-shit when discussing the East Coast music scene, after

J find
my-
self wondering if it’s all just hype. Granted there arc some good bands out there like Sloan and Eric’s Trip, but beyond them I just can’t get excited about the East Coast. I can’t see where it rises above any other of Canada’s musical scenes. The music on this album is just so ordinary. Thrush Hermit’s “Pink Is The Colour” sounds like Sloan circa “Smeared” without any of Sloan’s promise. Bubaiskull, which was once touted to become the next big thing out of Halifax until they broke up, are perfectly mediocre on “Eel Monkey.” While I enjoyed Jale’s debut till length release this summer, I find that their two tracks, “Brother” and “Twisted,” fail to provide the catchy harmonies that made “Dreamcake” a real joy to listen to. There are two other girl punk groups on this collection as well. Both Plumtree and Strawberry appear to be content putting out that cutesy cuddle-punk that has made Vancouver’s Cub so popular. Regurgitating what’s already been done seems to be the prevailing theme of this CD, Hardship Post’s cover of Randy Bachman’s “Rock Is My Life,” and Eric’s Trip’s cover of Sloan’s “Laying Blame,” fail to rise above that blah feeling this album emanates. This CD is frustratingly ordinary. The one song that does stand out from the rest is “Sick” by Rebecca West. Ironically it’s the only song that can’t be found elsewhere on vinyl, and its artist has never released any music on any form until now. This compilation was meant to introduce Cinnamon Toast to the general buying public. Of course a catalogue of all their releases was put inside the packaging, and the insert provided more information about their releases than it did about the bands playing on them. Unfortunately for Cinnamon Toast, they’ve put together a sub-standard CD to market their product. This is just another example of Canadian mediocrity.

We’ve had this tape a while, and have never gotten around to reviewing it. Blame the deluge of new releases in the fall, blame the fact we were off for a month, whatever. Anyhow, this is my attempt to get somewhere near up-to-date with new releases... My Neighbour Ned are a duo of acoustically-minded souls who hail from right here on campus. Already popular as regulars in Weaver’s Arms over at the Co-op residence, they are now striking out into the rest of the campus and the K-W area. And, though in need of some development as artists, they show a good amount of promise. The music is of the very simple, carnpfire-friendly variety, reminding one of Barenaked Ladies at their most serious, or perhaps the Skydiggers. Dave Cooper and Mike Busseri swap vocals back and forth, and often in harmony, weaving the usual tales of lost loves and the like. It’s all very stripped down, sounding like a four-track wouldhave sufficed to record this. To pull such bare-minimalism as this off takes some strong songwriting, and MNN do a reasonable job, but there is plenty of room to grow, lots to be done to really make these songs lift off, to the point where a whole album (rather than this appropriately-sized six song release) would be tangible, Hey, they’re young, give them some time. It won’t change your life or set you down the road to rock n’ roll oblivion (my how cliche), but it’s quite pleasant to listen to in those quiet times with yourself. MNN show enough talent and dedication to their craft to evolve into something even better. Buy this tape, and you’ll make yourself feel good that you’re helping out fellow students.

Unfortunately, the group felt the urge to recapture some of their former glory, and recorded Hell Freezes Over. A more appropriate title would have been Shit Sotzgsfiont Death Warmed Over I don’t know what they were thinking. A bunch of old guys - stinking rich - making a half-hearted attempt to cash in on old fame, and despite their talents they managed to suck completely. They must have had talent originally.

about old songs is gone. Frozen to death, perhaps. There is simply no life in the fifteen songs. None. The first four tracks are new, and they bite; just filler formulacountry rock destined for short-lived AM radio life. The other eleven are “new” versions of their old songs, done almost the same as the originals. Perhaps this is where they really ruined it. Everyone knows that they got together purely for profit (they hate each other, and travelled separately while on tour), and they could only hope to make money by concentrating on 1972-79. But these are lifeless remakes, without any of the emotion or care that made the originals better than average. The only halfway decent track on the entire album is”Desperado,” and it sounds virtually the same as the original. Look at “Take It Easy,” for example. i enjoyed the original, but the new version is simply lame -- no one sounds like they are trying or even care to sound like they’re trying. They are simply going through the motions, puttmg out a shitty album so they’d have an excuse to tour (and make millions). There’s nothing new, nothing to make an old fan want to listen, or make someone a new fan. The Eagles have become one more dinosaur rock band appealing to people focussed on the past, with little to offer even to them.
