ast Wednesday, The Anti-Cuts Ac tion Committee (ACAC) held a rally to protest the $2.6 billion in cash the federal government wants to cut from post secondary education funding. Held outside the Dana Porter library, a crowd of over 300 students gathered in the cold to hear the seven speakers tell them why the cuts must be resisted, and how the Liberal government had lied to them in the last federal election. Many of those attending were concerned about the potential tuition increase and how it would affect the Canadian post-secondary education system in Canada. One student,Valerie Damsma, described herself as “in debt to my eyebrows.” A single mother, Damsma said, “if they’re going to up tuition, I might as well just quit.” Damsma is currently working on a degree in Psychol%YThe speakers included the President of the Waterloo Regional Labour Council, the Prcsidcnt of the Ontario Federation of Labour, representatives from the Canadian Un- L ion ofPublic Employees, the UW Staff Asso- Great.

n Wednesday, the federation of Students held a forum to discuss the proposed cuts to post-secondary education by the federal government. Following just hours after the protest held by the Anti-Cuts Action Committee (ACAC), the Federa’tion held their forum in an attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness of sitting down with the powers-that-be and rationally discussing the issues. The Feds had shied away from the protest, fearing a food throwing fiasco like the one in Ottawa a few months ago, where thousands of students ended up tossing macaroni and other edibles at Lloyd Axworthy, the Minister of Human Resources. About a hundred people showed up to the Theatre of the Arts in the Modem Languages building to hear speakers including an MP from Don Valley West, a representative from the provincial Ministry of Education and Training, and Dr. James Downcy, President of the University of Waterloo. Brian Smyth, who organized the ACAC rally attended the forum. Commenting on the turnout at the ACAC rally, Smyth said “active opposition from the Federation of Students didn’t help Or; turnout, but there wcrc more there that there probably will be here tonight.” The first speaker, John Godfrey, the MP from Don Valley West in Toronto, toed the official government line, saying “through the

stav combination oftax points and the loan scheme, there will be more money available.” Later, responding to a question from the audience, he explained that social programs cost the federal government $40 billion annually, and that they are “part of the reason

He also mentioned

that the

government has to come up with the same sum each year just to pay the interest on the debt. James Downey took an unexpected approach that was sympathetic with the gov-

“I admonish the Fedt:ration of Students fo br not being here today... they are probably 01Jer there having a beer,“jeered Larry Batista, President of the Waterloo Region Labour Council, which represents 20,000 unionized workers in the region. Although the Feds were very clear in there opposition to ACAC, denying them financial support when they were asked in early December, several members were at the rally, including President Steve Codrington and some of the candidates of the upcoming election. Raquel David and Kara Richardson from the Womyn’s Centre were at the protest. The Womyn’s Centre officially opposes the cutbacks, and is “‘against all social spending cuts,” says R.ichardson. Michael Went, a fourth year Environmental Studies major, was not only at the protest, but carrying a isign, as were about I5 others. ‘<I don’t feel that students should have to pay higher fees,” he says, adding that any tuition raises will only make a university education more inaccessible to those from lower income families. The lone visible dissenting opinion came from Steve Kingsley-Jones, who was carrying a sign that said, “Raise Tuition! 7Lower -I-r’l I I,, UeTlclt!‘., s-l Save t,anaaa!-. “1 think both sides of the issue should be presented,” he said. “We :have to pay our fair share too.” He received some criticism for his views conhued to page 5

calm ernment. “I think it is unrealistic to think that the federal government, faced with the kind of debt it has to tackle at the moment, is going to protect areas of spending that it is not responsible for,” he said, explaining that according to the constitution, education is a provincial responsibility. He also sympathized with Axworthy, saying “spare a thought for Mr. Axworthy,” and “consider his position.” Afterwards, Adam Lee, a Federation of Students researcher, told Imprint that he thought the forum had gone well. “I certainly think it was more beneficial than the AntiCuts protest.” Not surprisingly, Brian Smyth disagreed. Comparing the protest and the forum, he said of the protest “people know that’s the more effective way.” Lee however, was convinced that the calm, sit-down method was superior. “No matter how many people picket or whine and scream...it’s just mass hysteria. It’s accomplishing absolutely nothing.” Christine Dewhurst, Vice-president Operations and Finance, agreed. “Running around campus with h:ysteria is going to make me feel better, because I’m gonna be able to get out there and scream and yell and holler, but is it going to do anything?” President Cladrington was happy with both events, saying that “‘it’s all about media coverage. ” As long as the school and the students looked good in the media, said Codrington, “ I think today was a total success.”

he Federation of Students has written a letter in response to recent allegations that it imA properly allowed students to pay a $25 per term fee. Imprint has charged that the Federation of Students and the UW administration arc jointly responsible for charging students the fee in direct violation of a January, 1992, student referendum. The referendum approved a $10 fee to create a student-directed endowment fund and a $25 fee to finance the construction oftwo new buildings, aphysical activities complex on the north campus and the Student Centre addition to the Campus Centre. However, the referendum stated that the second fee would not be collected until both structures were completed. The Student Centrc is cxpcctcd to open in March. A previous agreement was made between then-President ofthe Federation Catherine Coleman and the University to start cotlecting the fee in September, 1994. This dccision was made on the assumption that the Student Centre would be open by then, and on the need to start bank payments in November, 1994, regardless of opening date. The North Campus Complex had already opened, eight months early, in January, 1994. Last summer, Stephen Codrington, President of the Federation of Students, met with Dorothy Battae, the UW Treasurer. They decided to honour the agreement Coleman had signed and collect the fee as scheduled.

Codrington defended his decision, al though he acknowledged that it broke the terms of the referendum. “I think that we have kept the spirit of the referendum, if not the letter,” he stated, adding that the Federation is not planning any further action on the matter. The Federation’s legal counsel had agreed that details of the referendum had been breached, although it agreed that the spirit was kept. “I think the spirit of [the 1992 referendum] was. . . students would pay for improvements on campus,” and that is what has occurred. “Rough justice has been served . . . I think that’s the point I’m trying to make,“said Codri ngton ,stating that the North Campus Facility had already been opened for eight months, and the fee was also paying for that. He pointed out that the fee was not benefitting the Fcderat ion, but only paying off the debt on the building, and that “it is only a $15 increase” over the original $10 fee for the endowment fund. The only people benefitting from the early implementation of the fee, he noted, are “the people 18 to 25 years from now.” Students who paid the fee in the fall term still had use ofthc North Campus Facility, and students who paid the fee this term will get to use the Student Centre when it opens in the next two months. He also noted that “student responsc to this . . . [is] pretty weak,” and that no one has approached him about it. “So what am I supposed to do?” he asked, adding that he would welcome any student with concerns to see him.

A tent for all occasions by Sean Spivett special to Imprint

n exhibition about the “his torical development and cultural implications” of tents continues at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture through to February 1st. “Geschichte des Called Zcltbaus (History of Tents),” the exhibit in the Environmental Studies 2 building is produced by the Institute for Lightweight Structures in Germany. Along with the history of tents, it gives an overview of recent technological applications. The presentation is first-class, with colour reproductions of antique prints, designs, and a superb photographic archive arranged by Else Schmall. The development of tents in various indigenous and eastem societies are out1 ined, as well as huge tents in the European circus tradition. Included are many army tent encampments and designs of the Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Persian, Roman, and Ottoman empires, as well as the most technologically advanced designs of architects Frei Otto and Peter Stromeyer. The principal features of tents are their “lightness, flexibility and mobility.” As such, even umbrellas and awnings may be classified as

tents, but immobile, inflexible temporary dwellings such as igloos don’t. Despite differing sizes in the multi-faceted uses of tents, almost all the design, shape and construc-

tion

of them has remained practitally the same for centuries. New impulses and new technologies called for revolutionary new designs and applications however, and the best of these can be seen in the work of Otto. For those who believe that tents are just small time, Otto’s stadium sized designs are featured along with his more mod-

est pieces on display at the Museum of Modem Art. Those who may be more familiar with the small portable backpacking and mountain-climbing tents will probably be somewhat disappointed that these particular endeavours have been overlooked in the exhibit; for instance, it might’ve been interesting to see the advances made in mountaineering tents over the past 40 years, from the Everest conquering canvas puptent styles to the new cutting edge tents based on Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic designs. Nonetheless, most neophytes will doubtless find the history, design aspects and photographs of the presented tents fascinating. Some of the more spectacular examples in the photo archive incIude the North American Indian tipis, massive circus tents, large marquees, temporary arenas, the Munich Olympic complexes, and City of Tents during the Hadj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where two mill ion Moslem pilgrims are housed in row upon row of 4 metre by 4 metre cotton tents.

Career strategies for the nineties by Heather Calder Imprint staff

arry Smith, Adj. Assoc. professor of Economics at UW, played to a packed crowd Tuesday for a lecture called “Career Strategies for the Nineties.“The lecture is one of a series called “Bridging the Gap” sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Engineering, The Sanford Fleming Foundation, the Centre for Society, Technology and Values, and the Engineering Society. Smith spoke for the hour about strategies engineers must adopt in order to get a job in the new marketplace, His theories come from comments made by the over 12,000 students he has taught in his time at UW. Engineers mean technology, technology means change, and change means complexity. Engineers are responsible for a lot ofthat complexity, according to Smith.“Who the hell would ever think of looking for the damn switch on the back of the computer?” he said. “You guys did that!” Complexity means competition, and engineers must respond by being resourceful. One third of the crowd will eventually be business proprietors - and every free agent makes the marketplace more complex. The old approach to getting a job - “the

one that worked for your parents” - won’t work for students graduating today, said Smith. Satisfaction, enjoyment and freedom are the new goals of the workplace. Only a small percentage of the work force enjoys their work. Smith says the key to the perfect job is to love it enough to do it without pay, If you are satisfied, you are more productive. Of course, to be productive you must first have a job. So how do you get one, if the old resume-intewiew-experience approach won’t work? You make yourself distinct, Smith says. Try to be different from those around you, he told the engineers. To do this you must create and document your track record, make yourself sound special. If your boss says “If you don’t want to do it 1 can find fifty people who can,” your counterweight is to \ smile and say “Are you sure about that?” Smith also emphasizes the importance of having a tactic once you are in your job. Always be ready to leave, he says. “You will never be free unless you can quit.” The next of the series takes place on Tuesday, January 3 1st at 11:30 in ELI 12. Called “The Fundamental Review and Experience Changes”, it will be given by Debra Dileo, Registrar of the Professional Engineers of Ontario.

Employment equity debate at U-W by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff

According to an abstract written by ‘Brown on his talk, “employment equity legislation is based upon a web of myths, misinformation, obfuscation, and inconsistent reasoning. Its goals are incoherent, ethnocentric, self-defeating, and (at best) out-dated and politically motivated.” 13rown also argues that “‘on a Dractical level.

What would you with $60,000? by Robert (UW News

Heinbecker Bureau)

lesscd with a large amount of capital, a revamped en dowment fund at the University of Waterloo is ready to improve the quality of student life on campus. The Student Life Projects Endowment Fund provides money for student groups and organizations to pursue projects, such as improving safety on campus and enhancing study space and lounges. “The exciting part of this whole thing is that it is forever,” said Peter Hopkins, UW’s associate provost for student affairs. Hopkins cxplaincd the fund contains $900,000, but only $60,000 in yearly intcrcst will be used for student projects. The principal was dcrivcd from contributions of student fees gathered during the last scvcn terms and a $250,000 donation from the university. This term will bc the first time that the interest is used. Curtis Dcsjardins, student cndowmcnt fund co-ordinator, is cnthus&tic about the new fund. “The previous endowment fund allowed 35 student groups on campus to fund 1 19 projects. With the new fund, t am hoping more student

groups will take advantage of the money available.” Previously, groups such as the Graduate Student Association have been able to have access to the fund because it had been created as a result of an overpayment of students fees to the

Over the years, dozens of student projects, ranging from the purchase of a refrigerator and stove for the St. Paul’sCollege student lounge to the installation of an access ramp outside of the Arts Lecture Hall. Students who wish to propose projects have until 4:30 p.m., February 10 to submit a written proposal to Desjardin at CC, Room 235. Priorities for funding include improvement of safety on campus, improvement of accessibility, and the improvement of current lounge and study spaces. “WC don’t have very many proposals in right now, but people like to wait until the last minute,” Desjardins said. The submissions must be student initiated, non-academic, and require no ongoing funding. A group that is granted money wiil have one year to spend it or the money is returned to the fund. Students voted in a January 1992 rcfercndum to fund a three-part student life plan to improve quality of life for students: the endowment fund, the rccrcation building on the north campus that officially opened last .Janua-& and the additconto the Campus Centre that is nearing complction.

Rather than attempt to control and shape nature into a convenient, more manageable form, North Americans should realize their depcndcnce on and intimate link with their environment. This more “modest” view of humanity in relation to the natural order is a concept that environmentalists seek to instill upon the population and, says Hiebert, has a basis within Jewish and Christian scripture. Hiebert noted that historically, this aspect of the Bible has been neglected, misinterpreted, or downplayed by some religious communities in favour of other less holistic views of nature that find their roots in Platonic dualism or the belief in humanity’s absolute supremacy over the environment.

In recent times, the region of South-East Asia has undergone something of an economic turnaround. In a surprisingly short time the city of Singapore has come from being a fairly minor power, supporting what is commonly called a “backward” society, to being a major centre of telecommunications. To most observers, this economic turnaround has seemed little less than a miracle. However, some facts about its turnaround make Asia’s economic growth seem little more than a Western supported attempt at exploiting cheap Iabour and poor environmental practices. The biggest single factor in the development of the region, ie., Singapore, South Korea, and Indonesia, is the ongoing involvement of multi-national corporations. These large companies, owned by prosperous Western nations, support growth in the area because of cheaper labour, and definitely a larger sphere of influence. The governments of these regions have to make large concessions to these corporations, which include oil companies, media giants, and food industries, in order to keep the compa-

nies interested in developing the regions. Thus, what was once a fairly independent, rural economy suddenly has become one intrinsically entwined with that those of Western nations. This might not be considered a good thing for a number of reasons. The first reason is that, in order that our own companies might be able to sell us products at a cheaper price, the workers in these companies are being paid very little. An average wage at a factory in Malaysia amounts to roughly two hundred dollars a month. Not having as stringent labour laws as we do, the workers

rocketing, up to 75 per cent of the people have been forced out. The last and possibly biggest problem with South-East Asia is the fact that with Multi-National corporations, their economy is now linked with ours, and as such subject to the whims of our consumers, not theirs. If a company here goes bankrupt, or is forced into a radical change, it is not really a bad thing, because we have such a large and diverse base of industry to work from. However the base in Asia is much smaller and the involvement of industry in society is much greater. Much like the towns that were owned by mines in the last century, if the company is forced to close, the results could be catastrophic for an already perilous economy. This happened to Bangladesh, in recent

years. For many years, Bangladesh existed as a primarily agricultural country, with little exports. However, with the rise of ocean going ships in the last century, a great demand was put on jute, which was used for making the big ropes which these ships used. So Bangladesh’s main export became jute. However, about thirty years ago, companies started manufacturing stronger ropes out of plastic fibre. Hence, jute was not needed anymore, and the economy of Bangladesh was ruined. Perhaps if people realize that the boom in South-East Asia may be little more than an attempt by Western companies to turn it into a cheaper, more efficient labour base, then those people would not praise it for being the economic miracle whilch it seems.

Pay. In Seoul, Korea, there is another problem. Because of the rise of the burgeoning middle class, fuelled Western bY economy, the poor are being squeezed to the fringe, and consequently facing a very

poor standard of living. People come to these cities from the country looking for jobs, and if they are unable to find one, find themselves relegated to shanty towns on the outskirts. Thus not only does the population increase dramatitally, so does disease. As Nam Sang-Wa, leader of the tenants committee in Seoul said recently “we have no place to go from here.” With the price of housing in Korea sky-

by Robin Stewart Public Issues commissioner In 1985 the National Eating Disorder Information Centre was established. The centre provides information and resources concerning eating disorders, primarily Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, and weight preoccupation. It also organizes Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW). This year, the Feds will join groups across Canada and the United States to participate in EDAW from February 6 through 12. Their goal is to raise awareness of the high instances of anorexia and bulimia through education. Eating Disorders affect women and men of all backgrounds, ages and abilities. However, about 95% of cases are women. At least 5% of young Canadian women are af-

fected by anorexia and bulimia, and another 10 - 20% have symptorns of these problems. On campus a body image group called HOPE (Helping Open People’s Eyes) was formed in 1993. Last year HOPE set up an information booth during EDAW and will do the same again this year on February 7. The booth will be set up in the Davis Centre. The group is comprised of students from both UW and Laurier. They hold speaking engagements, write to the media, and are putting together an infonmation booklet about eating disorders to be included in Frosh kits. HOPE is currently seeking club status at UW.

Famous

than by Ellen McKay special to Imprint II Tuesday Jan. 24, I995 the PrcsidcntandC.E.0ofJ.M. Schncidcr Inc., Mr. Doug Dodds, spoke to the Accounting 123 and 128 classes. Hc outlined the problems Schncidcr had faced in the pasl, and what it’s done to Improve. A family company for years, Schneider cvcntually went public. The meat packnging industry was hit hard by the recession and Schneider’s was no exception. It was hit by a 30% drop in market share and suffered a loss in 1990. Mr. Dodds realized a major overhaul would be necessary to help keep Schneider afloat. He outlined the main steps Schneider’s took to revitalize itself. They expanded their operation, introducing a “lifestyle line” with less fat and salt, and now counted baked goods and poultry among their products. As well, they aggrcssively pursued export mark&s. The next step was to change the way the factory opcratcd. Their main one, here in Kitchencr-Waterloo, was to be the test site. The first thing they did was take the forty odd departments they had and broke them down into 6 plants which each dealt cxclusively with one product. The next

The fourth-year civil engineering students, fielding their entry “Waterluge,” finished first and won severa1 other won the awards. The other UW entry, “Tool Runnings,” was 13th. The 1995 race, hosted by L’Ecole Polytechnique, featured a prerace technical exposition displaying all entries. The actual race took place Saturday on a HO-metre ski run in Terrebonne, north of Montreal. “The conditions were such that the snow required to make the race course had to be brought in from local ice rinks,” reports Caroline Brabrook, a member of the winning Waterluge team.“The snow was slushy at best and conditions worsened as ~the day progressed, By the end of the day, the toboggans were racing over puddles of water .”

The annual race drew 33 university and technical college teams from Canada, the United States and one from Germany. In 1994, UW placed fourth and ninth overall, out of48 teams. Waterloo was second overali in 1987 and 1989. The competition called for a toboggan with a concrete running surface, a total mass of Jcss than 136 kilograms atid space for five riders. The toboggans also most featured a braking system, aluminum chas-

Waterluge also ran away with other awards and nominations, ineluding highest speed (37 km/h), best technical report and a tie for best display, as well as second place finishes for brake design and team spirit.

Firing Line @ S

ome students may have already seen the CBC’s attempt to cash in the Generalization-X phenomenon with their new show entitled Liberty Street (CBC, Wednesdays at 8:30.) As might be expected, the show is a rather vile piece of rubbish that could easily be re-titled The Unemployed Twentysumethings of Lkgrassi Street. The characters are flaccid, one-dimensional and preachy; the plots are lame and predictable and the situations the kids find themselves in are simply conduits for some higher moral message. So far, the show hasn’t distinguished itself from a lot of CBC’s television line-up, and I wouldn’t be mentioning it except for a column by Terence Corcoran in last Friday’s Gkobe. Corcoran reveals that among the usual credits to organizations such as Telefilm Canada and the Ontario Film Investment Corporation, one of the funding credits for the show goes to Health Canada. Health Canada not only provides $250,000 to the show, but has also had it’s hand in the development of the characters and the plot. (?t wasn’t clear whether or not the money was given as a lump sum or is a weekly contribution to the show’s $500,000 budget.) In a press release from Health Canada, they explain that “Experts at Health Canada worked with script co-ordinators and writers at Epitome Pictures Inc. from the earliest development phases of the series.” This money was pumped into the show in order to support Health Canada’s fight against tobacco and alcohol consumption, as well as to “realistically” address important health issues relevant to mental health. Now, wait a minute. The first question that should be raised here is why isn’t Health Canada using this money for some other, perhaps more usefU1 purpose such as, oh T don’t know. * .TREATING SICK PEOPLE? I understand that the Canadian dollar is taking a beating and inflation is still a problem in Canada, but surely a quarter of a million dollars must still be a lot of money, even for a government agency. The second question is one of artistic freedom. Usually an attempt to express a viewpoint or to make some kind of social commentary through artistic means is a product of an individual, or a group of individuals’, vision. Resources used to further that vision should be seen as a means to that artistic end, not as the end itself. To compromise your vision for someone who is providing you with money makes you a whore. YOU BASTARDS, YOU GREEDY SELFISH, MONEY GRUBBING BASTARDS! HOW DARE YOU PORTRAY YOURSELVES AS ARTISTIC IN ANY WAY! Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. I believe what bothers me the most is not so much the fact that the show is (despite Epitome Pictures’ objections to the contrary) a front for a government agency, but that ultimately Liberty Street is a bad show. In times of government cutbacks to tuition, and a general economic recession, taxpayers are still being forced to give money to an organization that, under the guise of public service and artistic expression, is a propaganda machine for the puritanical views of some narrow-minded bureaucrats. The CBC was envisioned as a public service, and has become a public nuisance. While refusing money from agencies such as Health Canada may result in lower budget programming,

the end result would

be a truer

vision of Canadian artists. The CBC is irreverently referred to as The Corpse by Frank Magazine, and this title is obviousfy justified by such haIf-assed attempts at drama such as Liberp Street.

Airborne regiment eats shit I

f you are one of the few people who missed the news last week, let me fill you in: Canadian soldiers, especially 2 Commando, the Airborne Regiment’ are pigs. This revelation came last week in the form oftwo leaked videos aired by CTV and CBC Newsworld. The man responsible for the leak of the first is Scott Raymond Taylor - the editor of Esprit de Corps, a small magazine out of Ottawa that caters to soldiers, ex-soldiers and military buffs. Taylor believes that Private Elvin Kyle Brown, the man convicted of the torture and murder of a Somali man, is being made the military scapegoat for the scandalous conduct of2 Commando in March 1993. What Taylor wanted was to exonerate Pte. Brown by showing a video of the regiment’s tour of Africa, taken two weeks before the murder. What Taylor got was a 2 minute segment showing the regiment’s most racist comments and several threats to Somalis. Shocking enough, but old news after photos of the severely beaten 16 year old dead Somali were published in several papers in November. While Taylor had hoped that the public would react with sympathy to the uncomfortable Pte. Brown, he was hardly mentioned in coverage of the video. The second tape, which aired last Wednesday on CTV, recorded hazing ceremonies that took piacc at CFB Petawawa shortly before 2 Commando left for Somalia. I saw parts of this video. Calling it offensive would be too soft. My stomach turned as I watched men being forced to eat each other’s vomit,andpieces ofbread soaked

in urine. The juvenility of these acts, however, did not compare to the sight of the sole black man of the regiment being led around on a leash on all fours. Written on his back in excrement was ‘7 love the KKK.” The man was also subjected to a mock lynching. It is ironic that Taylor was caught up in the machine that he tried to use when the second video aired. He had nothing directly to do with the release of the second tape, but

the regiment was fired for stating that, in his opinion, the men weren’t ready to go to Somalia. There is no question that the events we saw in the leaked videos are unacceptable. CTV could not, in good conscience, show footage ofthe soldiers defecating and simulating fornication. But the fact that soldiers allowed these events to be recorded leads me to wonder what happens in the military when the cameras are off. And it is only due to Taylor’s naive beliefabout the major media that the second video ever came to light. I suspect that the events in Somaliar are viewed by those familiar with military life as “normal”. But the acts in the second video have left military leaders scrambling to do damage control. Prior to this leak we were wondering whether Canadian soldiers were suitable to perform peacekeeping duties. Now WC: are wondering if they are suitable to perform any duty that requires an IQ. How are we choosing our servicemen? Is the racism confined to the airborne regiment? Evidently Collenette felt this was the case, since the soldiers were returned to other infantry units. Wh:y are these things seen as “normal”? And most importantly, why did we have to see the second tape to feel so ‘outraged about our military’s behav-

When Prime Minister Chretien was asked by the press covering his visit to Haiti to comment on the tapes, he remarked that the behaviour was unacceptable and that the regiment would be disbanded if necessary. On Monday of this week, Defence Minister David Collenette disbanded the regiment, citing irrevocable loss of the regiment’s reputation- interesting, since the commander of

Qur’an Speaks speaks Tu the Editor, In his letter to the Editor titled *Qur’an Silent’ and published in the January 20th issue of the Imprint, John Szucs calls the Qur’an Speaks column ‘Religious Propaganda!’ Well that is one way to look at it! I call it an invitation to goodness and peace. Apparently he thinks that the one thing (Islam) that affects the ideals, conduct, morals. way of thinking, emotions, and personality of I billion+ people is not interesting enough to stir one’s curiousity! He then goes on to make unsupported claims about Islam and muslims. Very briefly, I would like to make the following points clear: I ) The Qur’an is not only superior in a literary sense to any written text in the history of humanity and perfectly preserved for 1400 years but also free from any mistakes or contradictions (between its verses or with scientific facts), 2) The myth that Islam ‘spread by the sword’ is just that, a myth and theonly evidence John presented was at1example from the history ofchristianity (very ‘scientilic‘ indeed!). 1 call the sword tale a myth because ofthe following: the largest muslim population elcist in south-east Asia (over 250 million), a part of the world that was NEVER under the ruling ofthe muslim state, nor did a muslim soldier set a foot there! - lslnm is the fastest growing faith on the face of the earth. especially in the West! Actually most Western converts are wrjmen! (that answers his claim about the oppression of women in Islam). Islam is spreading (as it always did) by the sword ofthe truth. - Itecently, 1,000’s of the allies’ soldiers who participated in the Desert Storm converted to Islam, and it was not under Sword Point! 3)The 2nd myth: Islam’s intolerance. Again the existence of millions of non-muslirns in muslirn countries after 1400 years ofmuslim ruling is entbugh evidence to the contrary of this intolerance myth. 4) John blamed me for not citing any shortcomings of Islam. Well, there are none to cite! It is as simple as that. And if he, or anyone else believes otherwise they can come and discuss it with us at our weekly forum in MC’1056 on Wednesdays at 12:30. 5) Finally, tolerant John ‘advised’ me to show and not tell. Well 1’11 show AND telland tell and tell . . . God willing.

Muslims not superior Tu the Ed&r, This letter is directed to Mr. Elrabaa, author of the Qu’ran Speaks. I am sure that you are a pious and devoted Muslim, and you seem fairly well versed in the Qu’ran and the ways of Islam. I’m sure your god appreciates your efforts at spreading his word, but I do not. 1 am not Muslim and don’t plan on ever becoming one. Yet, I do endeavor to keep up on other religious viewpoints and their thoughts on our world, Many of my friends arc Muslim and I do not have any problems with them, however I do have great difficulties with your opinionated column. I find your tone condescending and belittling to other faiths. Every week you speak of the tolerance and greatness of your religion. Fine. But this past week you really took the biscuit. Saying “that Muslims establishod the greatest civilization that ever existed is a testament to the sU,!>erioritY of Islam.” Who do you think you arc preaching to the people of this institution about the “superiority” of your religion? And exactly which great civilization are you talking about? Wake up! Everyone in the world doesn’t subscribe to the zealous viewpoint you are setting forth. You are a poor representation of the Muslim community and demonstrate only one-sided arguments based largely, if not solely on beliefs and rarely on facts. Take some history courses and inject some relevance to your statetnemts. And maybe try some respect and tolerance of other beliefs and maybe I’ll read your bigoted column again.

Not everyone can be Offspring or Green Day, Chris. Maybe one day you will appreciate an album that isn’t a huge commercial success and doesn’t sell millions of copies. I doubt it, though. For some reason, I see you wallowing along in the mud and slop of the mainstream, just following behind everyone else like a blind sheep.

Editor,

Just when the Arts section was getting respectable, along comes Chris “Mr. Pop Culture” Aldworth again. Time after time, Mr. Aldworth shows his ignorance as far as music is concerned, and is constantly writing as ifhe were employed at YTV. 1don’t think that this member of your staff understands that a music review is based on more than comparisons. Take a moment and read any of Mr. Aldworth’s reviews, and you will find countless comparisons, but that is all. In the January 13th issue alone, he used eight comparisons in only two reviews, and his review of The Spoons (admittedly a bad album) should be a review, not a social critique of eighties new wave rock. The biggest problem with Mr. Aldworth’s ‘reviews’ is that they are actually commentaries on the band or artist, and not reviews of the music on the album. In his Treble Charger review, for instance, he only mentions a couple of song titles with no elaboration, except for a small comparison (Surprise! Surprise!) with R.E.M. One of the most inane and ignorant comments I’ve ever heard from Mr. Aldworth (and there have been many) is his statement that Canadian Content is mediocre. For someone who constantly extols the

Rut then my emotions turned to shock and disgust when I saw your “Campus Question” for the week: “What’ ivould your roommate have to do for you to shoot them?” Was this a cheap attempt at bumour at the expense of someoneelse’s tragedy, or were you suggesting there are valid reasons for shooting someone?

Mr. Szucs, in his letter to the Editor last issue (Jan 20), considered Muslims being 1 biLlion is not a sufficient ground to become interested in learning how these Muslims think and why they believe in Islam. Well, I agree, it is his right to state this opinion. However, it seems that he is assuming that all religions are the same, which is not true. He also is confusing the two different issues: 1) what Islam teaches, and 2) how some Muslims behave. He also seems to get all his information about Islam from the news! Doesn’t he know that the media usually presents only the bad news ( No news , . . Good news). He is restricting his knowledge about Islam to the standard stereotypes against Islam as portrayed in the media. ThisisexactlywhywearepresentingtheQur’an speaks column. It is for those who are interested in learning about Islam from its sources, not only from its foes, As a human being, I understand why many people reject all religions because of their bad experiences with only one religion. They selected theeasy way out. As a Muslim, I respect their right of taking this position because 1 believe in the basic Islamic concept “There is no compulsion in religion” [Q&an 2:256]. The Qur’an Speaks tries to encourage the community at UW to read and know more about this great religion, Islam. It is a small window for us to learn about the real Islam. This knowledge

enhance our relations with each other. The Qur’an Speaks had already dealt with some ofthe issues raised by Mr. Szucs in previous columns.

“First mourn. Then work for change.” That is exactly the motto for Dec. 6 memorials and that’s what women’s groups are doing. If Kevin thinks that living a “victim mentality” is their main interest, he shows that he knows nothing about the women’s movement. One of the very many reasons for the existence of women’s groups is that women want to plan and do things looking at their own interests and feelings, without regarding men’s notions. So thanks, Kevin, for telling us what we are supposed to do. The suggestions that we celebrated the right to vote that women in Canada got 77 years ago instead of facing actual problems, was especially wonderful.

ALLAH,

God of All (I)

by Khaled Sharaf The first and foremost article of Islamic bclicf is to believe in Allah; His Oncss, His attributes and His divinity. A seeker of truth would easily accept such a unique concept of God if it is coherent with itself and consistent with his logic, rational and scientific mind. Comparing the concept of God existing in other traditions and teachings (including Judaco-Christian ones), whcrc divinity is attributed to trees, stars, animals, spirits or cvcn humans, with the Qur’anic concept of God should lead to the same conclusion. The following Qur’anic vcrscs address al1 humans and jinns, muslims who believe in Allah as the ONLY ONE true God worshiped by All previous prophets or non-muslims who bulievc in other gods beside Allah, or even an atheist who denies totally the concept of God. They also speak about Allah’s attributes that have been lost, changed or intcrmingled with philosophical and various contradictory theological interpretations of Judaeo-Christian Biblical texts in which God is depicted in a human form, gets tired of work and needs to rest, walks in the garden, becomes sorry for certain decisions, etc. So here is what ALLAH says about Himself in His Last Book: “He is Allah there is no God but Hc, the Living the Everlasting. Slumber does not

seize Him, neither sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the Heavens and the Earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not encompass anything of His knowledge except what Hc wills. His Throne extends over the Heavens and the Earth; the preservation of them does not burden Him; He is the High, the Great.” (2:255) “He is Allah, there is no god but He; the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, He is the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. He is Allah, thcrc is no God but He, the King, the Holy One, the source of Peace, the keeper of Faith, the Guardian, the Almighty, the Subduer, the Sublime. Glory be to Allah above what they associate with t-lim. He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper, His are the most beautiful Names, All that is in the Heavens and the Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the Wisc.“(59:22-4) To Him belongs the Kingdom of the Heavens and the Earth: “He creates what He pleases. He gives, to whom He wills, females, and He gives, to whom He wills, males, or He couples them, males and females; and He makes whom He wills barren. SurcIy, He is the Knowing, the Powcrful.“(42:49-50). “There is nothing whatever like unto Him, He is the All-Hearing, the All-seeing. To Him belongs the keys of the Heavens and the Earth. He enlarges and restricts provisions to whom He wills. Surely He has knowledge of everything.” (42: 1 l- 12). “Say (0’ Muhammad) Hc is Allah, the One and the Only; God, the Eternal, AbsoIute; He begets not, nor is He begotten; And thcrc is none like unto Him” ( I 12: l-4).

Corra pulled a rifle out of her guitar case, the route along which she chased Campbell across campus - in and out of buildings, and where the shooting and arrest took place. Having studied at Dal for four years I could picture it ail too clearly, I know those streets, have been through those buildings, and could picture the doors and hallways, My first thoughts weredisbelief. Ijustcouldnot imagine this happening in the middle of a busy campus. I wondered how I would have reacted if I had been there. Then I started to think of ail the friends I have known who have had seemingly ridiculous, but actually quite serious, conflicts with their roommates. I realized that this could have happened to one of them, if their roommate had reacted in this way. Or could one of my friends have been the one to snap, and try to shoot someone? Ifyouwantedtodealwiththissituation,whynot ask “What would you do if you had a conff ict with your roommate, to avoid it escalating outofcontrol’?” Then you could have generated some useful discussion, perhaps on the value of Campus Mediation or the PALS phone line here at UW. It would have been better not to have mentioned the events at all, than to treat them as you did.

vs. Miller

To the Editor; Kevin Miller says I made myself look bad when I took him to task for calling Marc Lepine “a feminist hero.” Hardly, I would point out to him that feminists thernselves have expressed concern about what he calls their”victim-ideoIogy.” WitnessNaomi Wolf smost recent book. Witness Camille Paglia. It is a legitimate concern. His comments are welcome. They may even be valuable. The manner he chose to express them (Imprint, January 6), however, was brutal and ugly. 1am surprised that he chose not to acknowledge in his second letter (January 20) the poor taste of comments like “in gratitude to Marc Lepine, it seems only fitting that women’s groups across the country take time on December A [to] remember this man and his contribution to the feminist cause.” His understanding of feminism is narrow and stereotypical at best, He says education is the answer. He could use some. I wonder what he imagines to have been Lepine’s goal, when he writes that the rituals on December 6 help Lepine to accotnplish “all he set out to do, and more.” Lepine is dead, so are more than a dozen women. On November 11 we remember the veterans who died in the wars of this century. This ritual does not ensure that Hitler “accomplished all he set out to do, and more.” Neither do the rituals that take place on December 6 celebrate Lepine’s actions. To suggest that they should is revolting. Miller would prefer us to celebrate the achievement of women rather then reflect on those who are victimized. “Remember, yes. But then move on.” But this solution is no solution. It will only push us to return to the days when domestic violence wasn’t a “proper” topic for discussion. (Why? Because it creates a victim culture!) A solution, if there is one, must include the stories of the victims and an examination of the structures that helped to put them there. The solution does not lie in an appeal to the “light.” Celebrate, yes. But remember. Work forchange. Miller feels that he has been shouted down by “doctrine.” This is a cowardly defence, when he has yet to explain what he meant when he wrote that feminists are using the Montreal Massacre “to further their own purposes.” If these purposes are good, then surely they are worth futhering, and it would be logical to centre

some of these activities around December 6. If they are not, let him identify them.

Hooray for Mr. Neon To the Editor, Today (January 25) at the tuition protest, something occurred that ever)! student on this campus should be aware of. Among the hundreds of anti-Axworthy protesters, one student stood out. He was holding a neon yellow sign that rlead: “RAISE TUITION/ LOWER DEFICIT/SAVE CANADA/Fiscal Responsibility&r Only Hope.” Smce I don’t know his name, let’s call him Mr. Neon. As you can imagine, Mr. Neon was the sore thumb sticking out of the crowd of pro-socialist, pro-labour, anti-cuts protesters. Photographers were quick to snap a few shots and a reporter began asking ques’tions, anxious to hear why he chose to protest the protest. He was defnintely stealing the spotlight. Of course, the anti-cuts people couldn’t allow this to happen. Soon several1people holding sings and WPIRG clipboards began whispering and pointing. Within 30 seconds, one of these people walked over and began waving her own sign in front of Mr. Neon’s, trying to block a photographer from getting a picture. I yelled “Nice way to limit his freedom of speech!” Several other people stood by Mr. Neon and offered their support. Shortly after this, a rather obnoxious person approached.Mr. Neon and started shouting at him, swearing, and threatening him. Despite violent threats, Mr. Neon stood his ground, explaining that he had the right to stand where he was and wave his sign. (Of course he was right, although it looked like he might lose his head because of it.) Isn’t it freedom of speech that made this protest possible in the first place? Why would people dedicated to social justice act in this manner? Hats off to Mr. Neon, the brave student who stood up for his rights. He had as much right to speak his mind as anyone else, and that is sornething that should not be forgotten.

In gratitude To the Editur, Too oRen kindness goes unnoticed . . . unrecognized. That’s the main reason I decided to write this. On Saturday night two strangers put their evening on hold to help a girl who had just been attacked. You did not give your names, but then again I probably never asked. The one thing university can give a person is the sense of being small, rela.tively unimportant on the grand spectrum of things. Aside from close friends made, to most others we are all just a shadow walking bY.

I sit here amazed days later, that these two men chose not to ignore the act they witnessed; they did not drive past the hurt, naive woman who felt no fear before in walking alone. You hear constantly on the news ofsimilar acts which ended brutally. Passive observance and pleas of ignorance have seemingly become commonplace. 1write this now in gratitude to my two strangers. They showed me a truer face of humankind. I’m alright now. I want you to know that this is because of you, Your actions deserve recognition.

Bevond basic reading d

by Heather Cakier special to Imprint

f you can read this you arc not one of sixteen percent of functionally illiterate Canadians. Reading is a skill most of us who attend university take for granted, even though we would not, and could not, be here without it. However, almost three million Canadians lack the basic skills to deal with written material they encounter every day. Imagine that you arc going to the local grocery store. You are busy shopping and picking out the products you usually buy. You can’t find your favorite kind of soup, though, bccausc the manufacturers have changed the label and you no longer recognize the colours and shapes of the words on the can. Or worst - you can’t tell which bottle

In KK 45,000 are merely functionally literate

of cleaning fluid you need to put on the top shelf, away from your children. or which bottle holds your penicillin, and how often you are supposed to take it. Difficulty with basic literacy skills means much more than being unable to read the paper - the safety and security of your family may be at stake. You have trouble applying for a job, you riced help finding an address, and you can’t even find someone in the phone book. You may feel stupid and uneducated. You may feel ashamed. You may be secretive. Anyone who has worked in retail or tourism has probably encountered someone who has “messy writing” or who “forgot” his or her glasses. “Can you make this cheque out for me, dear?” they ask. And you do it, shaking your head at this elderly person, or this scatterbrained father, or this poor shortsightedperson. These people are not scatterbrained or shortsighted -- they are fUnctionally literate. This is different from being illiterate, because functionally literate people can complete familiar everyday tasks without difficulty. It is the unfamiliar that causes a functionally literate person to stop and ask for help or worse, to say nothing at all. It’s more common than any of us think. In Canada, one in five people are considered functionally literate. Twenty-fiveperCentofOntario’s population has basic literacy skills. That translates into 45,000 people in Waterloo Region - more than the 35, 743 full-time students

at Waterloo, Laurier, and Guelph combined. Kitchener and Cambridge have higher functional literacy rates than Waterloo, largely because of the industrial base of bbth cities. This base can mean that more people hold jobs which do not reauire reading on a regular basis. ’ Those 45,600 pcoprc ( into any neat stereotype. Acr ing to Anne Ramsay, cxecuti\ rector of Project READ Litt Network, almost anyone could into their office. The lea1 Ramsay and her staff advise equally male and female, ani majority have English as the first language. Most of thesf people want to attain literacy for self-confidence. The highest rate of functional literacy tends to be among the 29 to 40 year olds in the community. Most commonly, according to Ram- x say, leamers arc men bctwcen the ages of 29 and 49 and have a Grade Eight to Twelve education. They might have a job a factory, a reading a math skills 1 essary to do the They often have families, houses, cars ; they arc well establishcd people. They might not have used their skills in ten or fifteen years and decide to upgrade them for personal satisfaction. Another large group of learners are working on English as their second language. Too often people who were highly educated and skilled in their native country lose their qualifications when they come to Canada. These people need to go back to school in order to earn

job.

948 million people in the world can’t read or write enough money to keep their families here. These learners use the READ network to find a one on one tutor and eventually move to ESL classes. The third major group of Iearnet-s fall between the ages of 16 and 24. They may be at what the public school system calls the basic level, vocational or occupational level (“They’re all the same,” Ramsay

says.) These people have been through school but still don’t feel satisfiedwiththeirreadingandwriting skills. They may or may not have a job. if they do, it is likely to be “unskilled” labour. They might want to get a better job or live indenendentlv. and

Students are popular as tutors at the University Heights adult education program, and as one on one tutors. The time commitment is minimal at three hours a week. Students can get involved in reading circles like those at Laurier, as well. For more information about how to get involved, call Anne Ramsayat Project READ. It is also possible to support literacy campaigns by giving money to organizations like Local Performers for Literacy. Students can buy local publishing efforts like The Write Stuff, a chapter book of learner writing produced by CORE Literacy. Frontier College in To-

READ network’s members, such as CORE Literacy and the K-W Literacy Coalition, by taking part in several types of programs. Some students are matched with a tutor, working through a program one on one for about three hours a week. Others take part in group sessions andreading circles that enable leamers to build their confidence while they improve their reading skills. Classroom sessions can help those who have better initial reading skills. The most important aspect of these type of programs is that they provide practice. “Reading and-writing is like a muscle,” Ramsay says. “If you don’t exercise those muscles you don’t keep them.” Reading and writing skills require practice in order to be effective. Ramsay compares it to learning to speak French. We all have the capacity to learn languages -but it is critical to use that capacity. An international body called Canadian Organization fof Development through Education (CODE) attempts to address the issue of literacy worldwide. Marc than 95% of the world’s illiterate population is concentrated in developing countries. Gambia has a literacy rate of 12%, for example, compared with Canada’s literacy rate of 86%. CODE recognizes that this is largely due to lack of reading materials,

ganization also helps to distribute newspapers to rural areas in order to keep people informed and reading. This is very important in countries like Senegal, where the literacy rate is IO%, and although there is 1 television for every I I8 people there are only 7 newspapers per 1000. Especially crucial is the inclusion of information about AIDS in the papers and in books that reach school children. By teaching people to read, CODE addresses wider issues. Women tend to be among the least

literate in developing countries, making up as much illiterate population. because education compared to food,

According to the CODE newsletter, Ngoma (“talking drum” in Swahili), when women learn to read, they apply their knowledge to food production, and as a result the hygiene and

ronto produces similar efforts. It is satisfying to see your name in print, as many of us know, and students have the added satisfaction of helping the orgzlnizations that placed them in a life-changing program. Frontier College also helps reach potential learners by sending students to worlk with and tutor workers’in the fruit and vegetable picking industries. There are other ways to get involved. Ramsay advises students to, first and foremost, be more aware of literacy issues. Think about all of the things that you read and write every day, outside of school. “If you go to a bank, they just shove papers in your face!” exclaimed Ramsay. Many people can’t read these forms or fill them out, and being aware of this fact means we can be sensitive to their so-called “short-sightedness.” Reducing the shame involved in literacy issues means that we can be more effective in solving them.

he Warrior Volleyball team incrcascd their league record to 8-O last Friday witha seemingly effortless 3-O win over 5th placed McMaster. They continue to hold first place in the volleyball league standings, OUAA West Division. Naturally then, this team is guaranteed one of the four play-off spots. Currently, the contenders for the remaining three spots are Windsor, Brock, Western, and McMaster. The play-offs are quickly approaching, and begin on February 14th, with the 1st place team hosting the 4th place team. With set scores of 15-5, 15-7, and 15- 10, the Warriors looked relaxed and confident against McMaster, and made their cheering fans proud. Matt Reed, out of for a few weeks because of an ankle injury, led the effort with 17 krlls throughout the match (kills occur when a team mcmbcr spikes the ball down to the floor directly and extremely hard, with no one able to successfully return it. The result must then

where

be either a point or the return of serve). Matt is also second in leading scorers in the West Division, with an average of 5.9 points per game. He trails McMaster’s Geoff White, who averages 7.5 points per game. Nevertheless, one could still hear head coach Ed Price in the background, yelling for more defence (dcfcncc constitutes the part of the game where a team must receive the serve). The Waterloo Warriors are therefdre concentrating on returning the scrvc strongly and rapidly, with the result being the regaining of the serve. And still, the team is striving for more; national recognition as a talented and top team. Last week at this time, the Black Plague was ranked 9th nationally and was hoping for an increase in this rank. This week, according to the CIAU coaches volleyball poll, they are not even ranked in the top 10. So, where are they? After all, this team is first in the West Division. Within Ontario, they’ve never lost a match. Shouldn’t that make them nationally ranked? Even more surprising is the

comparison between the Waterloo Warriors and the Toronto Blues. Both teams are ranked first in their rcspectivc divisions, Waterloo in the West Division, with a match record of 8-O and Toronto in the East Division, with a match record Q#- 8-2. As well, both teams have two members ranked in their respective divisions list of leading scorers. For Waterloo, Matt Reed is in 2nd and Rene Holt is in 7th. Both athletes were named to the Rycrson Tournament All-Star team early in the second half of the season. However, Waterloo has been ranked 9th for several weeks, while last week was the first time Toronto was ranked, with an entrance at 10th place. And now, this week Waterloo has been removed from the rankings, and Toronto is in 8th place. What can be made of this? No one can be sure. Possibly, one should just wait to see the changes thaf may be made to the rankings during the following weeks. The Warriors are a talented team, and will once again show their finesse in front of a home crowd, in a match against Brock this Wednesday.

he Western Mustangs don’t take kindly to five-game losing streaks, and showed it on Wednesday night, edging the Waterloo Warriors 76-7 1 at PAC. With Waterloo’s 95-91 win in Windsor last Sunday, the Warriors are 4- 1, good enough for second place in the OUAA West, while the ‘Stangs improve to 2-5. In other action Wednesday night, the surging Guelph Gryphons stayed perfect (5-O) with a 7567 win over the Brock Badgers (42) in St. Catharines. “It’s a loss -- we weren’t going to be undefeated,” said Warrior head coach Tom Kieswetter. Western’s defence led the way, limiting Warrior phenom Sean Van Koughnett to 9 points on 4-of-14 shooting and Nick Poulimenos to 4-of- 17. Waterloo shot only 35 per cent from the field as a team. “Western did a great job in denying Sean the ball,” Kieswetter said. “They had a great plan defensively.” With starting centre Jefti-ey Wettlaufer in foul trouble by halftime, Mustang coach Art Sharpe used the shorter but speedier Michael Milne in the post, taking advantage of Warrior centre Mark Hopkins. Milne led UWO with 20 points. “We wanted our post man to give some help on the baseline

cuts, but with

Milne, we couldn’t do that,” Kieswetter said. “We’re not going to ponder this one very much, until the next time we play Western -- we had better stop MiIne .” Forward Tom Balfe showed his usual intensity and led the team with 14 points and 12 boards. Point guard Mano Watsa was a bright spot for Waterloo, coming off the bench to score 12 points, including 4-of-4 shooting from the charity stripe. “Offensively, [ Watsa] showed some leadership; he was in control as the quarterback,” Kieswetter said. “Defensively he was scrambling, creating turnovers.” Watsa and fellow tumoverbaker Nick Poulimenos set the defensive tone as the Warriors stormed from a nine-point half-time deficit to within three. The Warriors shot only IO-of-1 8 on free throws, but even that doesn’t tell the story of the crucial misses. With the ‘Stangs leading 57-50, UW missed the front end of three one-shot bonuses, two by Van Koughnett and the third by Mark Eys. At Windsor last Sunday, Van Koughnett poured in 33 points, including four three-pointers and 9of-9 shooting from the free throw line, to lead the Warriors past the Lancers. The game was tied at 40 at half, and UW led by 12 with eight minutes to play before the Lancers pulled within two in the closing minutes. Waterloo’s pair of frontcourt veterans, Hopkins and Balfe,

continued to shine, The two fourthyear players scored 17 and 15 respectively, with Balfe also recording 9 rebounds. Windsor’s offensive powerhouse Patrick Osborne scored 26. The Warriors take on the winless, if not hapless, Golden Hawks at aurier tomorrow at 2 p.m. Despite their O-5 record, the Hawks have had a couple of close games, losing by only five points last Saturday to Guelph. Next Wednesday night, Waterloo travels to St. Catharines to battle the Ba.dgers. The Warriors won’t have to win a quarter-final playoff game in February to isee the bright lights of Hamilton’s Copps Coliseum, a site that’s eluded them since the OUAA moved the West division final there two years ago. They’ll just have to make the playoffs. That’s because the first-round quarter-finals will be held at Capps for the first time as part of a three-day divisional championship tournament. As usual, the top two seeds will get a first-round bye and the quarterfinals will pit no. 3 against no. 6 and no. 4 against no. 5. But instead of giving the third and fourth-place teams homecourt on the traditional Tuesday night preceding the championship weekend, those two games will go on Friday, March 3. As has been the custom for the past two postseasons, the semifinals will be played on Saturday afternoon, with the championship final on Sunday.

Track by Kregg Fordyce special to Imprint

he past two weeks have been very busy for both our Athena and Warrior Track and Field teams. January 14th found the team at York University for York’s annual invitational, attended by quite a few American schools , as well as all the regular Ontario competition. Hoping to increase their ranking in the CTAU, the teams were anxious to compete. The overall performance was excellent, with some pretty impressive individual performances as we1 1. In the hurdles, the deadly duo of ve tcran Alicia Steele and rookie Jill Bennett both ran great raCes, placing 4th and 7th respedtively. Both ran well in the 60m sprint as well, accompanied by well seasoned veteran Val Lingard. The men’s sprints found the Warriors showing offa lot of brawn that seems to be turning into a whole iot of speed. Our men’s Varsity Track/Football boys were out to wreak havoc, too. The performances ranged from two personal bests for Tulu Makonen in both the 6Om and 300m, to respectable races from Rick Shea, Mike Mallet and Tory Locker. Only in second year, Makonen has the time to be one of UW’s finest athletes. Other notable performances came in the middle to long distance races. Woss Runstedtler ran an amazing 6OOm against the Canadian Olympic finalist Freddy Williams placing a close second only to Freddy in a time of 1.22.30, just off the CIAU standard. In the 1OOOm, T.J McKenzie, presently ranked number 1 in the country, dominated the field, leading the race from start to finish. This performance ensured McKenzie not only a gold medal, but a personal best performance of 2.28.70 and ClAU standard. In the women’s 1OOOm Judith LeRoycaptured the bronze in a very competitive field. In the field events, the most notable performance of the day was our very own pole vaulter Jeff Miller. Going head to head with

ith the cold and flu season upon them, UW swimmers struggled last weekend against an inferior Laurier squad and a much improved Laurentian team. The meet was not without its highlights; once again, the team had only to look to their captain for leadership as Chris Nagy captured first place in all his events: the 200m freestyle, 1OOm butterfly, and even the 1OOm breastroke, considered an “off’ event for him. Nagy also anchored the men’s 4xlOOm free relay to a 3rd place finish. Other strong performances came from Greg Stump who was 3rd in the 400m free and 4th in the 2OOm free. Rookie Chris Palin looked good as he cruised to a 3rd place finish in the 400m individual medley, a 5th in the 200m I.M. and 6th in th 50m free. Jimmie Ryans, Jason Cull, and Randy Gordon placed 3rd, 4th, and 5th respec-

6th in Canada the number one ranked pole vaulter in Canada, Miller placed a close 2nd, attaining both a personal best and ClAU standard. Miller is an athlete to watch in the near future. He placed 9th at the Commonwealth Games this summer in Vancouver and has aspirations to make the Canadian Olympic team. With the exception of a little rough play in the relay ranks and an unfortunate spill (Mike Mallot) in the men’s 4x200m relay, the day was a good one for the Athenas and Warriors. The weekend of the 20th found the team competing at the CanAmerican Classic in Windsor, Ontario. In the 60m qualifiers and 1500m races, Waterloo was well represented. Mike Mallet and Paul Walker both ran personal bests in the 60m while lightning fast Sarah Dillabaugh and Judith LeRoy finished 2nd and 4th respectively in the 1500m. Both ran personal bests, Dillabaugh crushing the CIAU standard by more than four seconds. Also in the men’s 1500, T.J. McKenzie ran to a fourth place finish in a time of 3.58.73. Athena hurdlers Jill Bennett and Alicia Steele were not to be outdone. Although not running quite at their potential, both raced tough, finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively in this demanding event. In the lOOm, we again found Sarah Dillabaugh running for her life, taking gold in the event with a 2%.64run,goodenoughforCIAU standard. On the field, Jeff Miller was once again on top of the competition, vaulting a personal best of 5.00 m, enough for a gold medal for the day. The 6OOm races found both our Athena and Warrior athletes pushing themselves to the max. Rookies Alison Campbell-Rogers and Brian Horgan both put in strong petiormances, each attaining a personal best in the event. The Athenas 4x800metre relay team blew away the CIAU standard and most of the competition, placing third with three personal bests on the team from Cheryl Turner, Sarah Dillabaugh, rookie

Lise Gueivremont and an excellent first leg by experienced veteran Judith LeRoy. The story of the day came near the end when Jason Gregoire ran his 30OOm race, Meeting stiff competition in Windsor rival Jason Boyle, Gregoire led the majority of the race with the blood-sucking Boyle hanging on his heels like a leech. Pulling away from the pack, Gregoire led Boyle around like a lost puppy. Finally, within the last half kilometre of the race, Boyle made his move, engaging Gregoire in a game of “cat and mouse.” In the end it came down to who had it left in him to out-kick the other. It must have been Boyle’s lucky day since he took first leaving the Jagoire with a silver medal. The most impressive feat, however, had not yet taken place, as Gregoirc again took to the track to anchor the men’s 4x800 metre relay. The team was on CIAU standard pace when the baton was passed to Gregoire, thanks to some hard work from Brett Kilty who ran a personal best, Hoss Runstedtler and veteran McKenzie. Gregoire ran a 1.55.9 leg after his blazing 3000m race, not only maintaining the CIAU standard pace, but beating it by two full seconds. The UW Track Team is now ranked 6th in Canada, which is a very impressive feat considering our lack of adequate facilities. This is accomplished by the dedication of the athletes and the awesome program created by Coach McFarlane and his extensive staff of coaches and trainers. The team appreciates you all, thanks. The Athenas and Warriors return to Toronto on Saturday February 4th for their meet at U of T , to show their stuff on the track and in the field. Everyone is welcome to cheer on some of UW’s finest athletes. Spectators are also invited to the Waterloo Ret Complex Saturday morning to see the Warrior and Athena 4x800metre challenge. This race should be a lot of fun for both competitors and spectators; you could even win a prize if you think you know who will win. So put on your sneakers and support UW Track! !

Amy Jarvis raced well, claiming 2nd in the 10th fke, 3rd in 400m free, and 5th in both the 50m free and back. Tereza Mace1 also had a good meet, swimming to a 2nd place finish in the 200m free, 4th after the 200m back, and 6th in the 1OOm breast. Deanna Hlywka

Noelle Aplevich added a 3rd in the 50m fly and a 4th in the 5Om back. But alas, it was not enough, as our woefully overmatched Athena swimmers fell short and were beaten by a margin too embarassing to mention. Better luck next time. Waterloo swimming hopes to turn things around this weekend in the last regular season meet of the year, against

he Athenas made their first appearance of the indoor field hockey season this weekend at the York Invitational Tournament. The team proved to be a strong force, placing first in their pool, and finishing second overall, out of the twelve teams entered. The first game against the Tot-onto Ladies Club showed the powerful scoring ability of the Athenas with a 9-3 win. Rachelle Brohman had four goals, Bemice Willemse had two, and Linda Mowat, Caorlyn Stark, and Judy Sahr all added one apiece. The second game was played late in the afternoon, and the long wait between games seemed to have an effect on the Athenas. This was obvious by their slow start against the Phoenix. However, Waterloo

was able to regain their momentum, and dominate the remainder of the game. A goal by Sara Creighton, and another two by Bernice Willemse confirmed the 3- 1 win. The Athenas’ third win of the tournament, over Western, placed them first in their pool. Linda Mowat put in an early goal, and the Athenas leading goal scorer, Rachelle Brohman, got a hat trick. The final game of the toumament was to be played by the first place finishers of each pool. This matched the Athcnas with the under-21 provincial team (the girls from this team will be representing Ontario in Vancouver this weekend). There is no doubt that this game was the most exciting of the tournament. An early lead was taken by Waterloo with goals from Bernice Willemse, Rachel1 Brohman, and Linda Mowat. However, the Ontario team caught up

and was leading the game 4-3 by the beginning of the second half. Unfortunately for their opponents, the Athenas came back and played a strong seclond half with control, speed, and quick thinking. With twenty-three seconds left in the game, Waterloo pulled through and scored with a goal by Rachelle Brohman. The game finished in a tie, and was to be decided with penalty strokes. The first round of strokes confirmed that these teams were evenly matched. Sudden death penalty strokes were the next deciding factor, and the Ontario team squeezed by with the win, The first tournament for the OWIAA provincial championship will be held on February 4th and 5th at U of T, and the second tournament Marc:h 4th and 5th at Westem.

annual winter workouts. These practices run three nights a week for half an hour at a time in Red North at the PAC. The players are expected to attend 80% of these workouts and are pushed to the extreme every night. Aside from the practices, most of the players work-out for a couple of hours before or after on weights. You might think that these half hour sessions three times a week are easy and just a breeze for the players, but think again. These players work their butts

off for the entire thirty minutes, running stair;s, running sprints, skipping, doing, bench work and a number of other activities that are intended to improve their overall footwork and speed. The workouts over the winter keep the guys in game shape and allow them time to improve onthe speed of theiir already quick feet.

HockevWarriors by Kimberly Moser Imprint Sports

hey needed to find a spark this wcekend, but instead, the ice Warriors started a fire. It began Friday night as Waterloo upset Western in an amazing comefrom -behind victory. They then continued to melt the opposition Sunday, destroying Windsor 7-t. The four points improve the Warriors’ record to 8-6-2, good for second place in the OUAA West, two points behind first place Lauricr and Westcm. “The win (against Western) was probably fhc most emotional for us since Laurier in the playoffs,” said assistant coach Dave Cressman after Friday’s win. Waterloo was trailing 2-O after the first three minutes and looked to bc easy pickings for the strong Western team. However, the impending loss to this much hated team from London scemcd to inspire the Warriors. They came out of the dressing room in the second period a different team. With fire in their eyes, the Warriors began their comeback. Geoff Rawson and Greg Allen tied it up for Waterloo with two quick goals in the first five minutes of the second period. Western scored once again, but the Warriors would not be denied. John Wynnc tied it up, and Jason Mcvyn scored the go ahead. Adding to the excitement was Jeff Goldie’s empty netter in the last few seconds of the game. An unlikely shot, the puck cleared the rink, and is rumourcd to be the longest goal ever scored in hockey. Assists on the night went to Brian Henry, John Wynne, Mark Cardiff, Greg Allen and Mike Chambers. Although the Western team outsized them, Waterloo was able to overpower the Mustangs, getting in some hard checks of their own, and skating circles around the slower team. Assistant captain John Wynne, who was a major part of the come-from-behind vic-

dress

tory, was very proud of the Warriors’ efforts against Western. “It was a huge game for us,” said Wynne. “We really came together for this one. Wcstcm is a very big team , and that’s the way they play; very physical. Maybe after tonight’s game, they won’t think we’21 bc pushovers in the playoffs.” Wynne and the Warriors will definitely be able to prove that in a month’s time if they continue to play with the same discipline and jntensity that they did this past weekend. On Sunday, WaterGoals galore, loo continued to show its desire to win, racking up seven goals. Tempers flared all over the ice, but Waterloo was very disciplined, and in the end cooler heads prcvailcd. JcffGoldie, Sheldon Gilchrist, andMark Vaughn each scored twice while Geoff Rawson had the other Waterloo goal. Assists went to Geoff Rawson, Chad Palmer, Jason Mcrvyn, Greg Allen, Dean Mac Donald, Matt St. Germain, Neil Ethicr, Drew Rees and Geoff Schneider. “I am very proud of the guys,” said head coach Don MC Kee. “They fought the entire game. This is a great hockey club, The guys seem to be very focused and the execution has gone way up.” “W&c made a transition to an attitude that we have the potential to win every game if we arc well prepared.” Geoff Rawson was extremely prepared for both games. The 5’9, 175 pound rightwingcriccntrc played as if he were 6’2 and 250 pounds. He was all over the ice throughoutthe entire night, throwing his

-and so much more! weight around and basically playing his heart out during both games. Goalie Joe Harris had two great games, making some amazing saves. He looked extremely confident in net. Steve Smith, who had been out earlier due to knee surgery in December, also saw some action this weekend. “1 feel half decent,” said Smith after the emotional win over Western. “I would have been a lot more sore if we had lost, but I feel pretty good.” It wasn’t all good news for the Warriors this weekend though, as some key players were hurt. Defenceman Brian Henry had to leave Friday night’s game with a concussion. The severe headaches kept him out of the Windsor game. Another defcnceman Mark Cardiffbroke a bone in his foot in an accident unrelated to hockey. He’ll be out of the line-up for at least three weeks. Sheldon Gilchrist is suffering from a

sore shoulder but still played in the Windsor game. Many other players are suffering from a variety of nagging injuries after these two very physical games. Waterloo hopes to keep its three game winning streak alive as it takes on Brock tonight at 7:30 and York Sunday at 2:O0. Coach Cressman knows that it is going to be a tough road fbr the Warriors if they want to challenge the first place teams. “In the road to finish first,” said Cressman. “There is no finish Line. Meaning that we just have to keep going. We are just starting to peak now. We can’t play as loose with the puck as we clid against Windsor and expect a team Iike Brock or York not to capitalize on their ch.ances.” Expect to see two great fast-paced and intense hockey games this weekend from the Warriors as they make their way to the playoffs. Lastly, to those great Joe Harris fans, keep up the good work; you guys are awesome!

f you had to describe John Wynne’s time with the Waterloo Warriors, you could only describe it as a roller coaster ride. However, throughout all the ups and downs, Wynne has remained the same simple guy he has always been. Wynne, a native of Calgary, made his way up through the minor ranks, where hc was then drafted by the Stratford Cullitons of the Junior B league. After playing with Stratford, Wynne went to Detroit to play Junior A. The good news was that he got a lot of playing time because Detroit was an expansion team. The bad news was that the team won only 11 of 66 games. After his time with Detroit, Wynne decided that playing for Waterloo and attending university would bc a good opportunjty for him. “I knew Jamie Hardnett, and Cory Kecnan and I came up and I met Donnie (Don McKee}” says Wynne, who is now the assistant captain of the Warriors and one of the most intense players of every game. “They had a great team. Donnie was a great guy, so 1 decided that this would be a great chance to play here, and I did.” In his first year, Wynne experienced the first of his ups and downs with Waterloo. The first “down” came during the semi-finals ofthe hockey cham-

n Wynne: pionships. “1 brought three sticks to the game,” says Wynne, the memory of this game still haunting him a bit today. “Two brand new ones (sticks) and one that I had just for the heck of it. The two new ones I had were about four or five inches taller than the third stick. I broke both of the new sticks during the game. About halfway through the second period, I’m down to my third stick that is so much shorter than the other ones. Due to that, I had about four or five chances to get good shots away, and I fanned every single one of them.” “1 got back to my dorm in rcsidence and thcrc were fans sitting in my room and going at me. I took a lot of abuse.” says Wynne, who laughs about it now. Wynne had such a great year in his second season that some might consider the exclusionof his name from the All-Canadian team a down. Wynne prefers to look at it in a different light. -“It didn’t bother me a whole lot. I think they said the last guy was Dan Brown from Queen’s, and I think he was in his fourth year. I was only in my second year and I really think to have an All-Canadian year you have to be an absolute standout. “It was a good year but for a fourth-year guy who has been in the league for that long, I think they deserve it. They (fourth-year guys) have proven themselves over the years. “The other thing was that the

coaches that made the decisions were in Ottawa, and we never play in Ottawa. So they had not seen me play. It didn’t bother me. I knew that I’d be back. Sure, you’d like to have it all the time but things don’t always go your way. I was happy for him.” These memories were quickly forgotten this year, when Wynne was given the opportunity to play with the Canadian Olympic team. “It was a great experience.” says Wynne, a huge smite spreading across his face. He describes it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “I already knew a couple of the guys who played in Calgary that I’d played against. One of them was the captain. I got out there and they made me feel right at home. They knew they weren’t young kids anymore, they were very mature and they handled everything so professionally. They are just a great, great bunch of guys.” However, the biggest up will come this year if the Warriors make it to the finals. Wynne believes that this is a better Warrior team than in those of years past. “This year’s team is a lot different than last year’s team. I think we let in a lot more goals last year. We don’t have any superstars on this team. We have four pretty balanced lines. On different nights different lines come up and play well. It’s just a completely different team and I’ve never been a part of a team like this.” Just like Wynne, this year’s team has experienced its share of ups and downs, winning a couple of

Grit

the pre-season tournaments and experiencing a couple of long losing streaks in the regular season. However, just like Wynne, the team is on an up again and is challenging for flrst place in the division. “1 think that the team we saw this past weekend was very similar to the team that we saw earlier in the season, where everybody is fulfilling their roles and working hard.” Up next for Wynne and the Warriors are Brock and York. “Weowe Brock big time,” The says Wynne, wanting revenge for the third period loss they took earficr in the season. “Brock has always had a hard working team. They’re a team that, if you don’t work hard, they’ll beat you. We had them going 4-2 into the third period last time and they beat us.”

“York, we just don’t like. After that 8-l thrashing, last time we were there !” he laughs. “They are two very big games!” Come out and cheer on Wynne and the rest of the Warriors as they try to take possession of first place.

UW curlers corn&around by Natalie Gillis Imprint sports

W’s curling team packed up and hit the road I a s t weekend, taking on Western, W.L.U., and hosts Brock in a tournament that saw excellent play by both the Athenas and the Warriors. Opening competition against Laurier,the Warriors matched the Golden Hawks shot-for-shot and forced the Laurier skip to make his last shot of the game to win. The Athenas struggled early in their match with Laurier, but pulled the score to within one point, pushing the game into an extra end. Playing flawlessly, Karyn Issler and Dawn Patterson set up ideally placed guards as vice-skip Jodi Kerr provided the cover that allowed skip Margaret Corey to perfectly execute two draws to the four foot circle, eventually turning the 9-5 score around 10-9 in their favour. Up against our favourite oppo-

Athenas take a beating

nent in game two, both Western teams boasted fine players. Despite being equal to the task throughout the game, fighting back a 4-7 deficit to tie up the game in the tenth end, the opposing skip executed a hit on the potential winning Warrior counter, taking the win. The Athenas played well against the Mustang women, and as with the men, only a delicate shot by the defending world champion placed the game into the “lost” column for the Athenas. The last game for each team was against the host university, Brock. Playing convincingly, the Athenas won 1 O-l in only six ends, finishing second over-all with a 21 record. The men overcame their O-2 record to put Brock away in eight ends, with a final score of 9-3. This brought their record to l-2, allowing them to beat Brock out of the fast place spot and finish third. UW curling competition continues next month with a trip to Toronto February 10th and 11 th.

every mistake. “There were a lot of things we could’ve done better; we could’ve played harder.. .” said Kathy Keats after the game. Despite their loss to Western, the Athena’s can take consolation in the fact that every other team in the league will probably be subjected to the same sort of ordeal when they tooplay against West-

Crooning and Spooning The Spoons with Anyhowtown StugtJs, Kitchciler Thursday, January 19 by Greg Imprint

tack of “Myraga” and “I Am Found,” and the band seemed at least content to have made some people in the crowd happy. They

must think ofK-W though, if Stages was their introduction... As for the Spoons...what is there really to say about their set?

Krafchick staff

f there was ever a band who were quintessentially of the 80’s, it was the Spoons. They had it all; the hair, the pastel clothes, the sensitive-man synth music, and a career that had faded away before Akmi Vkc was cancel Icd. But now they’re back! Barely a dccadc after the glory (?) days of “Romantic Traffic” and “Tell No Lius,” they’re back on tour, promoting their C~llc)c~/>lc~ ~/Io~I~I.s grcatcst hits package. Now if the band took themsclvcs cvcn remotely seriously, they would have come off :ls truly pthctic, but instead they had the best attitude they could have about the whole affair. They know they’re washed-up has-beens, and arc laughing at the whole thing right along with the rest of us. First up, however, was the Toronto band Anyhowtown, who contrasted with the headliners in amost striking fashion. Thcy’rc a band that has steadily grown in popularity since their first indie cassette (with the single “Myraga”) through to being finalists in thcCFNY search this year. And all with good reason, since they’re indeed one ofthe most promising bands in the country at

rcfcrcnccs of Canadiana, it seems plausible that much of the Dummies success in the U.S. comes from the fact that their music defies geogmphy. An indication as to their massive success, in fact, can bc measured by Weird Al’s parody of them; obviously, they’ve graduated flom clubs like Phil’s Grandson’s Place &here they played in Water100 a scant few years ago).

of today. Gee, let’s see: they played lots of old album tracks, and all the hits, and it all sounded incredibly dated. But that’s what we all expected, isn’t it? Oh yeah, they did play one

dismal new song called “Monday Morning,” but even the band admi tted that “you guys don’t really want to hear that stuff, do you? You want the old hits!” This caused the leather and hairspray-adorned late twenty to thirty-somethingcrowd(I’m22 and I felt like a little kid) to cheer in appreciation, before the band, with more than a little irony, launched into “Old Emotions.” In fact, the tongue-in-cheek feeling ofthe whole affair was what saved the show from total disaster. As 1 said before, the band knew the score, and1 played the crowd for the suckers they were. They got ridiculous audience sing-alongs going for “Romantic TrafW’and “Old Emotions.“They went on about the nostalgia of the whole affztir, “Man, I haven’t played that in years!” and so forth. And after all, they did do “Nova Heart” well, the one song they did that is really worth remembering. The verdict on the whole show? Well it did indeed suck..,but then again, looking back they always did suck in the first place, so what’s the point of criticizing your musical tastes when you were twelve‘? You didn’t know any better, and you were merely listening to what was hip at the time. The eighties has produced its first dinosaur rock act. Take that news at your own risk.

unk is an attitude. It’s about being an individual. it’s about being passionatc,” contends Wool bassist Al Bloch. Just over 200 fans got exactly that last Sunday at The Volcano. It was the perfect venue for a crowd that was hungry for new music. Although the club was far from capacity Volcano managcment was quite happy with the turnout. It was a Sunday night, the weather was bad, and Wool aren’t exactly household names. Yet, I’m sure everyone who attended will tell two friends about Wool and they’ll tell two friends and so on, and SO on... . Next time the place will bc pa&cd; clearly, this was an invcstmcnt for the future by The Volcane. In a year which has seen punk groups like Offspring and Green Day leap to the forefront of popular music, it was surprising that Wool didn’t get the recognition it deserves. Their debut full-length CD was great, and their rccordcd “We’re sound, with its driving rhythms, translated casily to a live setting. For the evcr-soshort hour they were on stage, they put on oneofthe most furious shows I’ve seen. It was a night that could’ve easily been one to forget. The band showed up late on a count of a huge misunderstanding at customs. That coupled with the fact that the band was smack-dab in the middlc of an 11 shows in 1 I nights swing could have put the band in a nasty mood. Fortunately, the band has a good attitude, so they didn’t

Wool’s current touring mates are Amphetamine Reptile recording artists Guzzard. Al believes that, “The best thing about Offspring and Green Day is that it makes all those labels and bands out there commercially viable.” Guzzard appears about to cash in on this opportunity and it is very deserving indeed. This band put on a fast-paced, high-energy show that left the audience wanting more. Although they feature just a guitar, a bass, and a drum set, Guzzard has a huge, thick live sound. For the most part, the lyrics were lost in the music but when a band sounds this good, who cares. 3 The band didn’t interact much with the crowd, the members just went about playing the shit outta their instruments. It was heavy, guidriven, tar straight forward punk rock at its best. Preceding Guzzard were a band from Guelph called Acme. I got a chance to hang out with them before the show as I waited (and waited, and m waited...) for Wool to arrive. I was highly impressed with their show.

Wool ignored the dwindling crowd and kept up a great performante. Lead vocalist Peter Stahl seemed to be oblivious to the crowd’s departure. He concentrated on his very soulful vocals and at times seemed totally consumed by the music. He was especially awesome during the show’s closer “B350.” A special mention must also go to drummer Chris Bratton.

They avoid sounding like Primus or Red Hot Chili Peppers, though, which is something that most bass-oriented bands tend to do. The one song that really stood out was “Mike’s Leg.” All this band needs is a little more confidence. Considering the array of talent that followed them, they managed to hold their own. “Punk isthealternative to what the major labels have to offer,” states AL On this night, the statement couldn’t have been truer.

love of music brings two women together in the song filled American South. Stifled by others, their true feelings and emotions are too often hidden. On an impulse, they leave Georgia for a concert at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto. As they encounter many new experiences along the way, they learn from each other, and the need to control their own lives. The late Jessica Tandy plays the exuberant Camilla Cara, a former concert violinist with a penchant for stretching the truth. Her uninhibited character has a strong, and often vocal nature that Tandy portrays to perfection. Not once

While outwardly strugglmg with her carccr, her artist husband’s persistent lack of understanding takes its toll. Strained and impassive in contrast to Camilla’s breezy nature, she too does battle with herself. For both women, their freedom lies in confronting the reality of their existcnccs. Marry Chaykin is hilarious as Camilla’s son, Harold. An obscure film director, he is highly excitable and suffers from an overactive imagination. Elias Koteas plays Freda’s insensitive husband Vince, and the two men make a good Stan and Ollie.

Joie de Vivre jazzed the stage with energetic tunes ranging from covers by the Indigo Girls to the Leslie Spit Treeo. This colourful group, consisting of Matthew Bowes, Stacey Collins, Gareth Farfan, Kelly Lemon and James Rupnow, had a style similar to the

The members of Habitat for Humanity invited a diverse group of musicians to Waterloo with the hope that people would come to listen to tunes, donate 5 dollars towards a good cause, and stroll home at the end of the night with a sense of both musical and charitable satisfaction. The evening began with a few excited words from the evening’s hosts, Heather Calder and Gary Pluim, filling the crowd in on the purpose of the benefit -- a fundraising project to build in Pennsylvania during reading week. Mark Stutman, an ERS student from UW, warmed the crowd as he strummed at his guitar from a quiet perch on stage. A comfortable and relaxed performer, he sang songs he’d written himself, as well as Rolling Just for the humanity of it. Stones and Buffalo Springfield covers.

Using bass, guitar, drums, keyboards, saxophone, blues harp, trombone and trumpets, this band of Engineers wound the crowd into a unified state of euphoric bliss. What makes this feat even more inspiring is the fact that the band members -- Frank Babic, Ben Coulson, Alex Fessier, Aubrcy Friesner, Waren Gross, Steve Houlahan, Elrent Ruboli and Jim Waller -- haven’t had much time to practice. Co-op placements pull the group apart every four months, making practice sessions difficult to arrange. Watch for a release from Soul Hammer in the future as they recorded a demo in Furnace Face’s studio several months ago. The final group to cross the stage was a Celtic band from Hamilton calledThe Immigrants. Band members Fred Geus, Paul Hogeterp, Rob Van Hardingsvelt and Pete Zantingh maintained the level of intensity that Soul Hammer ignited.

When last call came and the last encore was sung, the aud-ience began to trickle out of the Huether onto the snowcovered streets of Waterloo. Back to reality. Special commendation should go to all the planners, voIunteers, and sponsors of the concert. For a couple of hours, the audience were able to enjoy a dose of musical entertainment in the name of harmony and social responsibility.

BOBROCK?INDEPENDENTMUSICVS.ALTERNATIVE?SAS

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE The Age of Electric The Imprint Interview by Pat Imprint

Merlihan staH

f you haven’t heard of The Age of Electric, fear not because it’s probably for good reason. Presently the Regina pop mctallers are on the road supporting Sass Jordan after only just finally getting around to releasing a 5-song EP, jr’he Ugly EP, that was recorded a solid twa years ago.. If As such, the tour is called The Ugly Tour, being coupled ct al with Jordan% successful IICW single “Ugly.” Witty stuff indeed. After subjecting myself to the Bob Rock produced 7%~ &l-y KF’, which came with heady recommendation from none other than MEA T Magazine itself, I rcccntly had the “good” fortune to speak with Age of Electric guitarist Ryan Kerns. The band is on the record as calling thcmsclves “ridiculously indcpcndcnt,” so I felt it incumbent to ask, precisely, their reasons for rccruiting Vancouver producer-tothe-Stars Bob Rock. Rock, after all, is rcsponsiblc for the slick production of bands such as Thc,Cult and Motley Crue -- hardly what you’d consider & I*igzdeur for a sclf-proclaimed “ridiculously independent” rock band. Arc The Age of Electric going afltcr The Brass Ring? “WC actually produced it ourselves. Bob Rock just paid for it. He basically gave us two months alone in a studio and he put his two cants in, but let us do whatever we wanted to do. That’s how WC work best. WC take anybody’s advice but he put up the money for it.” As for Rock’s intentions -what, after all, would he be doing putting up cash for a band with little measurable track record -- Ryan simply states that Rock, “just liked the band.” Simple. Or so it would seem. Wasn’t the band perhaps a little skeptical about Rock putting up cash and letting such unknowns do “whatcvcr [they] wanted?” “We’ve never liked the idea of owing anybody money, As far as having him involved, it only matters if the guy makes us sound like his favourite band. A lot of people think ‘Bob Rock, the producer’ and automatically pigeonhole what he is going to do. What he does with your project is different from another project+ I think he is a good producer for what he does.” I ask if the relationship was a good one. Ryan rep1 ies immediately that it was “vcr-y positive.” Nevertheless, the band is on record as saying they’d never go the Bob Rock route again. Apparently, they’re disappointed with the clean, crisp, sound Rock brought to the EP, but: it sounds exactly like the sort of unctuous sound Rock brings to lzll of his recordings, the sort of slickness that is Rock’s bread-and-butter. Ryan is stupefied. “Oh.. . I guess it did come across that way but I think it was more so in the decisions we made, and during those times we were shuffling our feet whether we were going to be compromising what we were doing. That wasn’t to do with Bob

Rock, but more to do with record companies.. . ie.,Are wegoing to be sell-outs, etceteru? Yeah, you’re totally right to have picked up on that. At that point we were kind of bitter and not sure of ourselves.” What about this “ridiculously independent” stuff? Their bio sheet mentions that the decision to go with Rock stemmed from a belief and motivation that “the band hoped Rock’s reputation would help them land a Big Deal.” Ryan doesn’t see any inconsistency between the two statements. “That’s the kind of attitude I think Nirvana had, Do exactly what you want and still try to land a deal. I’d love to be a big band. I’d love to be as big as Madonna, and I’ll never deny thai. I hate people that say that anything big sucks! I’m disgusted with that attitude.”

conversation about Rock’s production, I ask why the feisty independents agreed to record for Rock and then proceed to sit around twiddling their thumbs,,fir ufz entire year, while Rock worked on other projects. Hello!?! Did this have anything to do with Rock? ‘Yes,” Ryan responds sternly, Why didn’t: the band just tell Rock to fuck off then, and start recording via other options? “Well that’s why I had such bitterness towards him, which is probably what you picked up on in the articles. I’m glad not too many other people picked up on that. It turns out in the end that he helped us more than anything else. You come to the realization that somebody isn’t going to come and tell you what to do. You’re going to use whatcvcr you can to get a record deal, Automatically, you say,stdre, why not?” Whatever... “I was young and I thought [by having Rock produce] I was going to be big... I would sit back and just write songs.” The interview wasn’t exactly an ambush but, truth be told, The r/g/y EP isn’t cxactIy what you’d call “Year End List” material, so I asked Ryan what might’ve impressed Rock towards them in the first place. “We had a video playing on MuchMusic and his wife saw it. She saw it a couple of times and really liked it.” Vdu.., a little spousal nudge and wink and a star is born. Ryan tells me Rock “approached them

and offered them a chance.” As for their “jumping into bed” so quickly with Rock... “Yeah, I mean, maybe that was our mistake. Everything just seems to fall into place, We had a video and an independent release. That was way back in late 199 I. It was pretty rare to have an independent release out at that time. We were being distributed all over the place, through Sam’s and HMV, but doing it ourselves. At that point Bob said not to do anymore until finishing the recording of the new album. So we decided that’s what we would do. Then a year went by, and he wasted our time. But that’s as much our fault because we should have kept going instead of waiting.” So is The Age of Electric, after putting their superstar career aspi-

rations on hold for a year, happy with the sound Rock produced? “No, I’m not. I’m happy with it that there are five songs that are good enough. We couldn’t expect Bob to pay for more than he already had. That’s the reason there are only five songs. All we had was ten grand.” Ten grand? “Actually,..[shetzpishpuuse],.. more than that.” Since he’d already compared The Age of Electric to Nirvana, I’m prompted to mentionNirvana’s debut album, BZea&, cost only $600 to record and produce. Ryan fails to respond. What is it about the sound that they’re so disappointed in...? It sounds so typically corporate Bob Rock that I fail to see their disappointment. Hadn’t they listened to his other works beforehand? Ryan answers by droning on about their poor work ethic, then bragging about mixing the songs at Bryan Adams house, then offers more insightful stuff about how cool it was wasting valuable studio time to *‘hang out with Aerosmith.” In there somewhere, Ryan has an epiphany : “We were fucking around. Given the chance, that’s cxactiy what guys do.” In the same breath, he starts blubbering about “his utmost respect for Bob Rock.” Having exhausted the topic of Bob Rock, I enquire about the band’s ingenious name, The Age of Electric. After six years, might there be some regret and thoughts of changing the name to something that sounds, erm, slightly less proi

vincial and sickly ‘70’s? “Yeah, lots of times. I think it doesn’t matter though. Sometimes it sounds stupid to me, and other times it sounds blatantly original. J don’t hear a lot of bands called anything like that,” Perhaps there’s a good reason for that... “Think of all those fucking bands with one word names like Chair or StooI,” he continues. “I hate those.,. It’s almost like names arc becoming as trendy as music is. I just really have an extreme hatred forthat kind ofthing, Iike an “altemative” and college mentality, where it’s only good if it’s the newest fucking thing on the block. I have a real bitterness towards that mentality. It’s only good if it’s on the outside... disgusting alternative thing.” [???I -

so-called “alternative” music, Surprisingly, Ryan claims to love “alternative” music. What’s he listening to these days? “Urn, well, nothing alternative as you would classify it.” Isn’t “alternative” a rather ambiguous term these days? What does Ryan consider alternative? “I’m talking about T-Rex or Prince. That is real alternative to me. I’m aware of almost any band that comes out though. Name a few

ALTERNATIVE

alternative bands?” [Now Ryan’s turned interviewer.. .] I dunno, Scbadoh, Pavement, Liz Phair... they seem to be pretty popular. “Oh, I’ve heard of Liz Phair. I like her. AI1 I’m saying is that if it is “al t emative” or “rock” or “country,” -- if the music is original it is original -- and ifit’s not, it’s not. I find this “alternative-head” attitude is as bad as Metallica fans when fans only like Metallica. Fuck that! T hate that! I still like Michael Jackson, or even the Beatles.” Yikes. Ryan seems miffed -fucking college scribes-- so I divert questioning to the topic of the Sass Jordan tour. How does the reality of her measure up to the bad-ass attitude she projects on TV? “I’ve never met her. But I met her band, they’re nice guys. They took us on her bus for a tour. Man, I want to get one of those. They’re wicked. They have, like, two VCR’s and TVs...” An obviously star-struck Ryan suddenly seems to catch himself, then goes ballistic. “You have a lot of preconceptions about music,” he snaps angrily before turning interviewer again. Wow old are you, anyway? [ Prtw4mptuously] You’re more interested in fashion and style. There is more to music than the outside. There is a lot oforiginality in her songs, and you have to respect somebody that is liked by that many people. We like her music, so she must be O.K.” Wrapping up the interview by thanking Ryan for his time, he surprisingly thanks me, acknowledging, “Those were some good questions! Some things I’ve never thought about before. You know, people make mistakes and you’re only human, I guess.” Indeed. Ultimately, all is not lost. The Age of Electric, as this interview might infer, could well provide the text book on how NOT to succeed through “ridiculous independence.” If anything, T’le UgZy E‘P is anything but independent and, above all else, just plain “ridiculous.”

She agraciously accepted . . * 1 da last mmute tnvitation to judge the Commonwealth Poetry Competition in Trinidad, but is not sold on the idea of being an organ donor at the present time. She has left her water’s edge cottage in Sidney, B.C.,(which has

a tree growing inside it and walls you can see daylight peeking through) and has relocated for now in High Park for her newest position as writer- inThis time the honour goes to the University of Toronto’s Massey College. However we at the University of Water1 00 can boast that we enjoycd her company in 1983-85 when she was a teacher and writer in resid dence at St. Jerome’s, Likewise she has not forgotten us and returned for a special reading of material from her two latest compilations: one is a book of poetry called Forcing the Nurcisws

(1994) and her second book of personal reflections Musgrcuve Lunding (1994). A few of the pieces from Landing are from Great Musgruve (1989), her first book of personal reflectons which is now out of print. In her writing and in person, Sue Musgrave expresses herself in a casual and witty manner. She possesses auniversal understanding of human nature that is deep , and thought provoking. _.- The - first reading, . .. . ‘Great Expectations,” is a piece that appears in both Great Masgruve and Musgruve Lunding. Susan explained that it concerns “preconceived notions about how people are and having an image to live up to.” Susan also spoke casually about her love for international cuisine which she says she “loves as much as writing.” This led into a story about when she was in an Asian restaurant. A live monkey

was strapped into a highchair, the skull was cut open, boiling oil was poured on the brain and then people dug into the brain with metal utensils and ate. She somehow “saw this as a metaphor for what happens when you live with somebody too long.” She then proceeded to read “Effort of Love” which is an amazing poem from her 1994 release entitledForcing the Nurcissus, and utilizes the aforementioned metaphor. Another great poem that Musgrave read from The Great Furcing the Nurcissus was “Depression in Debrechen,” which was written in Budapest in 1993. She recounted with wit and admiration the events that inspired the poem . With her last confession: “I’m not a hypochondriac but I worry a lot.

These were the conditions noted by my inebriated companion and they were ripe for Our Lady Peace’s first andexcellent appearance at UW. Before the opening band had even taken the stage, the ‘Shelter was packed with the Men of war. three-hundred ticket holders who had bought in advance plus those trying for tickets at the door. The opening band for OLP was Rusty. The crowd was so hyped that they even went for the high attitude, low creativity antics of this dime-a-dozen band which seems to be in the loud distorted, power chord category. Rusty didn’t have anything to bring to their music other than their lead singer’s falsely inflated ego. “I’m a starlet,” um...yeah, stop asking your mother for her opinion. I’m not expecting the band of the century for an opener but I’d rather see a band which doesn’t just suck time, and create background noise. Fortunately the BENT “crowd control” supplied WWF style entertainment with their patented bone

One of first things that hit me was that (unlike Rusty) OLP did have something different in their music. The middle eastern influence carried through all their songs without

being overpowering and created a dark undercurrent feel. This middle eastern influence is also seen in the band’s album name, Naveed, which means bearer of good news.

OLP voice low their

vocalist/lyricist Raine Maida’s carries well through high and melodic ranges found within songs. Even though most of OLPs songs came solely from ilkweed, the mix of their songs kept up the pace of the show while still providing a good variety in emotion and tempo. As well, they did not have to rely on special effects for their show. They used voice distortion for part of one song and the odd strobe light. It was their music that delivered, not the packagi ng For their encore, OLP ‘went out with a version of Neil Young’s “Needle and the Damage Done” and “Mona Lisa,” by the Sons of Freedom. The band didn’t just play the songs in the original styles but changed and added to the songs putting OLPs distict marlk on them. Especially, their meddllings on “The Needle and the Damage Done” which would make any Neil Young fan proud. As a band which has only been together for a very short period of time, OLP worked surprising well together. They all contributed their different styles which became a unified greater whole. For eight bucks, the crowd was completely satisfred, and looks forward to their return to UN’ soon.

easily heard makes singing along that much more fun. The lyrics are generally throwaways but they do provide some entertainment in themselves. “Appendix Gone” is about the story of an appendectomy performed at sea and what happens to the discarded organ afterward. In “Action/Adventure” the singer takes on the persona of a secret-agent and manages to use every spy-movie cliche possible. “What’s In The Bag?” is also interesting and it has amelodythat-sticks-in-your-head-forever quality which makes it the song you hate to love. The band also delves into the world of witchcraft and voodoo in songs like “Chicken Foot” and “Hand of the Nomad”. What I like best about this album is its length. The 14 tracks clock in at just under 40 minutes. That’s what I appreciate: a band that knows when the formula starts wearing thin. Gashuffer was even nice enough to include a slower song “14th & Jefferson” (featuring a nice bluesy guitarline) in the middle to let you rest before they smoke through the second half of their album. This album is a great introduction not to mention an excellent starting point for those who wish to listen to Epitaph’s lesser known acts (anybody but Offspring). By bringing you more great punk, Epitaph proves it’s not going to rest on its laurels.

Green’s New Wilderness, as sung by a sleazy lounge act. A less than flattering version. Both “Ice Cream” and “Mary” are remarkably similar, with the later sounding a tad more somber that theFumbiing To ward Ecstacy version. “Elsewhere” is a completely different song in its early form. As an unrecognizable psychedelic folk number, it pales in comparison. “Good Enough” is filled with those emotionally wrought vocalsone has come to expect from Sarahbut “Ice” drags itself along to a slow death. The final message: buy the polished album for a fine treat. While this is an interesting documentation of the creative process, it offers few pleasant musical surprises and remains a must have for Sarah enthusiasts only.

Kill Rock Stars is an independcnt label based in the town that has become the capital city of punk, Olympia, Washington. This is their third compilation reiease since they began in 199 1. The earlier releases (called Kill Rock Stars, and Stars Kill Rock) featured then unknowns Nirvana, The Melvins, and 7 Year Bitch. Now the label is gaining more acclaim as the home to Bikini Kill, and their special spoken word vinyl releases. The agenda of these albums is to feature bands who don’t want to become rock stars (I guess that makes the Nirvana song fairly ironic, huh?). They play music just for the music. Most of the bands appearing do so on super-obscure labels. However with this collection it appears as if placing a song on a Kill Rock Stars’ compilation has become en vogue. More popular bands such as Lollapalooza openers The Boredoms, Kim Gordon’s side project Free Kitten, and indie darlings The Spinancs show up on this release.

It’s pretty surprising how a group which has just released its first album knows exactly which buttons to push. It’s pretty obvious from the music that these guys - aren’t the best of musicians yet they transform what they can do into something really listenable. I guess it’s a testament to their songwriting and production. ’ The songs l are rough but not harsh. What thev lack in musicianshi; they make up with the;r catchy tunes. The fairly simplistic guitar riffs are what first hook you into the song but after that it was the vocals really drew me into their music. Unlike most standard punk fair the vocals are at the front of the mix. Does that mean that the singer, Matt Wright, has a great voice? Actually, no. He does have a good growl but it’s the way he changes his timbre during the bridges and the choruses that adds a neat dramatic effect to his vocals. This added to the fact that the lyrics are

number (hardly a departure) called “Stupid Crazy.” Free Kitten offers something which is much more listenable than what appears on their full length release. There are a lot of good songs on this album but there are a few dogs among the 23 featured. The screeching “We Are Not Your Entertainers” by the Mukilteo Fairies is thankfully short and the band Tourettes is aptly named. However this album is a pleasant listen. Rancid serves up “Brixton” which has a definite ska feel. “37 Pushups” by Smog stands out from the rest as well.

It’s also good to see some.Canadian bands getting some exposure south of the border. Vancouver’s Grouse Mountain Skyride gives the compilation a nice hillbilly flavour while Toronto’s Fifth Column provides some spooky organ grooves. The closer “I Wish I was Him” is an acoustic number by Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna. It’s notable only for the fact that it describes me almost perfectly. It’s not a compliment but it’s an enjoyable song anyways. It’s the perfect description ofwhat all ofthese bands aren’t.

To begin with this record isn’t exactly new, it’s been out since late last fall but I decided to review it anyway ‘cause it’s pretty good. Each of Danzig’s previous albums has had its own distinct style, from Zeppelin rip-off, to powerhouse rock, to just plain mediocre metal. Danzig #p is just as different as any of the others; there’s alot more crooning on this record and the overall ef5ect is slower and more vocal oriented. Once again Glenn Danzig wrote all the songs, and the record was produced by Rick Rubin for his new American Recordings label. “Brand New God,” the opening track, and “Bringer of Death” are the two songs most like Danzig’s previous work in the rock’n’roll/ metal vein; they are by far the heaviest tracks on the album, “Bringer of Death” being the stronger df the two. Everything else on this recoid

is more of a departure. There are lots of slow bluesy ballads on here, songs like “Little Whip,” “Son of the Morning Star,” and “Going Down to Die.” “Cantspeak” is probably the catchiest tune on the album. This song has the singer doing strange things with his voice and singing in a very unDanziglike manner. For once he sounds alot less evilthan he usually does; I guess he’s trying to show off his vulnerable side. Aside from the bonus track, the only other song of any note would be the aptly named “Sadistikai,” aptly named because this slow industrial type dirge gets more and more painfully boring each time I hear it. The rest of the material on this disc is pretty unexciting, not bad or anything, just not very exciting. This record makes for good background music; it’s languid and dark, almost Gothic, and Danzig’s voice accents everything perfectly. The sort of album one plays right before going to bed. The CD skips through the fifty blank tracks at the end until it comes to rest at track 66, the bonus track, the .Track-Without-A-Name. Definitely scary stuff kids.

1 shouldseriously have my head examined for not having reviewed this a long, long time ago when it first came out. My apologies to you, dear reader, for making you wait until now to hear about this fine release. Tristan Psionic are the eneroetic youths behind Hamilton’s t-3 Sonic Unyon label, and as such have helped revitalize that city’s musical “scene.” While there are some excellent bands on the Sonic Unyon label, Tristan Psionic remain the coolest, and Feves shows us why. The songs, mostly brief 3minute pop wonders, are free from the bass-heavy funk style that too

Critics sometimes fall into the trap of using the “this band sounds just like (list band names here)” formula. Granted this can be a lazy cop out, but sometimes it can help to describe a band to the reader. How many times have you asked somebody

what

a band

sounded

like only to get a response listing two or three other bands? Now, while I never do this (tongue planted firmly in cheek), the sound of Blu Bones and their debut albumSi& begs the obvious.

Lemieux to Imprint

much of Southern Ontario finds so cool. Instead, they stick with a brighter sound that relies on simple chords and unpretentious melodies. On top of that, there are some genuinely heart-felt lyrics that have that comforting “been there, done that” feel. Tristan Psionic, however, aren’t just another bunch of pretty faces. Their musical flexibility allows them to create a record with beautiful pop morsels like “25 cents” alongside loops ofbackwards samples on “Pslop” and longer works like the six minute “Transmission.” Although Tristan Psionic have recently been laying low, last year’s tour and Sonic Unyon compilations have helped them make a name for themselves, and if they realize their full potential, they may very well give the Sloan/Eric’s Trip East coast scene a run for its money. As good as some baked beans without those clumps of gooey white shit.

I have to admit I had never heard of this band when I sat down to listen to them. I asked around, and neither had anybody else. So I tried to go into it with an open mind, not really knowing what to expect. Reading the liner notes, I noticed that David Lowery (of Cracker and Camper van Beethoven) was one of the producers, so I was sort of optimistic. With song titles like “Dance of the Lollipop Faeries” and “Cartoon Train” I imagined that it would be kind of quir;ky and upbeat. Not so. They may be from down south, but their hearts are in Seattle. Most of the songs consist of vocals which are either distorted or have that slacker\whiny quality of Dinosaur Jr. And with subjects that range from “‘being oppressed by the system” and “what a waste my life has been”, this album didn’t exactly give me a new appreciation or enthusiam for life. I’m not saying that this is a bad album. Some of the guitar riffs are catchy. A few songs, such as “Black 60”, sound like Sugar with a bit of Pixies in the background. But I just felt I’d heard it a million times before. There is nothing really new here, but people who like their music a little grungy may want to give this a listen. I don’t, so subsequently I found the music to be a little tiresome. I still don’t know much about the The Technical Jed, but I would bet they wear a lot of plaid.

Everything from the methodic beat, to the heavy bass lines to the rough hewn vocals sound like Alice In Chains. With Gord Prior’s familiar sounding banshee wail it will be difficult for London, Ontario natives, Blu Bones to escape the Alice In Chains label. Even with ti lead vocalist that does sound like Layne Staley, the melodic heavy metal tempo of Alice In Chains is a sound that Blu Bones does not try too hard to shy away from. Wearing your influences on your sleeve is not always a good career move, but Blu Bones do it quite well. This foursome will no doubt have great appeal to all the hard rock fans out there. With classic rock stations embracing grunge fully, Blu Bones is in a very lucrative position. Blu Bones and their dirge like sound propel Sink slowly forward into some charted but, none the less, enjoyable waters. Part of human nature is to classify things. While Blu Bones will no doubt be classified under the grunge label, their music is steeped

more in the sound of early heavy metal, whic!h songs like the lead off track “Big Pooh” will attest to. But about the songs, which is the real issue here. Every song is laden with heavy guitar riffs and Gord Prior’s sorrowful vocals. Even the loud vocal and guitar workouts carry a large degree of depth. This is no ordinary rock band here. “Soul Power” is an instant classic as is the intense “‘You’re lnsanc,” with it’s slow lead in. Unlike many of those big hair band hard rock bands, Blu Bones breeds a powerful brand of rock devoid of the ever present heavy metal cliches. The rap/heavy rock cross of “Real World” is an interesting deviation from the generally constant sound of Sr’nk. Prior spits out the words in rapid fire succession, but the presentation leaves something to be desired. The pounding beat of “Once In A While” is a true rockers delight while the acoustic sounding “Happy (For Keith)” will appease fans with an ear for heavy but mellow sounds. The band have their feet placed firmly on the ground. A combination of a polished presentation and some fabulous songwriting, enables Blue Bones to project a heavy sound that still retains its radio marketability despite the altemative label it will no doubt get. Gord Prior and guitarist Boris Novosel bear the brunt of the writing chores to a high degree of success. Created “the old fashioned way using analog and tube technology,” Sink is a powerful album deserving attention from hard rock fans.

Although the term “rock music” covers a rather wide field, with thousands of bands creating wildly varied music, the key instruments remain largely the same: vocals, drums, guitar and bass. Every once in a while you might throw in some keyboards andthat prettymuchcovcrs 99% of the bands out there right now. There are some exceptions: the insane, such as Daniel Johnston and the genuinely eclectic, such as Morphine. Now we can add Smog, a four piece band which adds Cello and Violin atop the standard drums and guitars. The minimalist packaging belies a richly textured sound which is best displayed on the opening track “My Shell.” Somewhat like the last Archers of Loaf E.P., “My Shell” begins with a minute of rising feedback. When the song proper begins, the sound of the guitars with the ccl10 and violin crcatcs a truly original and beautiful sound. While both the ceIlo and violin have been a part of rock music for a long time, they are too often addenda to the backbone of a b;lnd’s music. With Smog, they arc given the same promincncc as the rest of the band to a very jarringly novel effxt. At the same time, this unique: outcome isn’t ovcrplaycd. Thcccllo andviolinarcn’tcvcruxcdasstrictly novelty items to bc exploited, but do no more or less than any other more standard instruments. “Burning Kingdom” dctnonstrates a surprisingly varied musical style for an six-song E.P. While “My Shell” is the obvious standout, “Rencc Died 1:45” is a brief but moving minimalist piece, and “Not Lonely Anymore” is slightly more mainstream in its sound, but no less fascinating in its lyrical and musical maturity. While their sound will probably remain too eclectic for mainstream radio, Smog could very well grow into one of the darlings of the alternative circuit, and deservedly so.

Smash are loud. Did I say loud? Smash are so loud that after an evening of voluntarily grinding fenders for my dad, I came home only to have my eardrums assaulted by the one thing louder than a power grinder. That’s Borrie’s guitar. Smash arc so loud that my neighbour phoned the police to complain. And I was only playing it at ONE!!! Sociologically speaking we must now ask ourselves the question: Why are Smash so loud? I guess that the best answer is that they have the biggest amps, and sure do like to USC ‘cm. They also seem to have no use for windows,

Slowburn Velvet by Chris Imprint

Spar;kPd Artist Rccords

Aldworth staff

Vancouver’s Slowburn were one of the best Canadian indic acts going last year. Their independent album Jjlarktxi gives you a solid taste of what to expect live. Heavy guitar pop at its finest. The foursome, consisting of Cliff Boyd on vocals, Robert Watkins on drums, Charles Boname on guitar and Harvey Windsor on bass, like to wail away but manage to contain their sound in three to four minute song structures that rarely lose their focus. The vocals range from a lit Enemy or in the latter Orbital -it’s too much af a stretch for their I isteners. SO Underworld push the outside of the envelope, in the same way that Primal Scream and the Qrb did back in ‘9 1. Unlike a fot of techno coming out ofthe U.K. right now, the ‘WarId have a lead vocalist in one Darren Emerson, and he adds a welcome human face to music that ranges from very mellow ambience to pounding, insistent be&s. In addition, the sheer imaginative nature of the sounds, the constant varience of tempo and style, make for an album that is a good introduction for people desirous of learning about techno. It starts w i th.“D& and tong,” all continuous heavy bass and so fo’rth, before launching into the epic “Mmm Skyscraper i Lave YOU,” zt. sprawling

having blown out their own long long ago. A window is a means by which we can look from one environment to another which is completely different. This counts in looking from a warm house out into the snow, or from a moving car window into the gently rolling countryside. Smash have no time for such subtleties. Their attitude is such that no window would survive such a sonic onslaught, because their medium is the message, maaan, and that mcdium is volume. To hell with glass-ware. As for the music itself, it is barely necessary to differentiatc between one song and the next. After two-minutes and fiftynine seconds (perfect pop timing, 1’11 have you know), one barrage stops and another starts. No time to

quiet and reserved hush to an all out scream. Either way Slowbum has created an endearing album with Spurked. “Dreaming” is as catchy a pop song as you arc likely to hear. The CFNY picked single “Whatever” is the strongest of the lot, but there are ample surprises to be found on Spwked. The Johnny Marr like guitar rhythm of “Falling All Over” will no doubt appeal to those Anglophilcs out there. Cliff Boyd growls his way through a number of songs like the straight ahead punk of “Trash” and the thrashy sounding “Shuffler,” but then reverts back to a style of singing that made The Replacements so endearing to fans. Slowburn sticks closely to the verse, chorus, verse song structure in an effort to reach that elusive mainstream audience. The almost folky “Matter and Spirit” showcases the mellow side of this outfit white”Chestcr,“withitsslowjangly guitar work speak volumes about Slowburn’s versatility.

Relaxation mode comes beautifully into ,focus an “Tcia$ue,*’ which foregoes with beats altogether and sets up a lonely guitar loop to bits of keyboard here and there, while “River of Bass” puts the band into a more jazzy mode. On the other end of the scale is the nine minute sanic assault of “Cowgirl,” pounding relehtle&ly with lyrics and music alike. A final mention, andperhaps the highlight, comes with “Dirty Epic,” a dark, obsessed tale of phone sex and a person telling us ‘? get my kicks on channel six.” It’s unsettling, but ultimately interesting, and the music matches the mood perfectly. ’ L mile not compromising the spirit of the tecIm~ community, I&de&or14 h&e ctimp&d ati album that is something many with ‘a~ openmind can listen to, techno-pop for the neophyte listener, and a fitsc&d-Ig, aXbum: fok anyone aIrea+y interested.

Actually, the song about Larry was the only one which afforded me the luxury of finding a tune, a hummable melody, It was also the only one I still

find that I listen to. All in all, the album is full of grumpiness, and wailing guitars, which reminds one inexorably of Leonard Cohen set to the music of the Exploited. Is there a message? Yes, definitely. Here it is: Your eardrums are no longer as valuable as you once thought they were.

nbcknownst to many on campus, a group of thcatritally minded individuals have been putting on completely original shows cvcry winter, for almost as long as the University has cxistcd. This year is, of course, no exception, as the Faculty, Alumni, Students, and Staff of the Univcrsity arc presenting the 32nd (!) installment of FASS, this year cntitlcd Villip) lhn of’theLkad. The FASS thcatrc company began pcrforrning way back in 1963, when it was a variety show as opposed to the complete play it is now. Back then, for the hefty price 1

of 74 cents, the spectator was trcatcd to an infinitely cntcrtaining fare of skits. To quote the UW student paper at the time, T/IQ COYJJ@~~~~LY, you had things like “Hone Hekc and his Tribe (dancing) a wild tribal dance to thcaccompanimcnt ofthcir own hoots and screams” or “The University Chorus (opening) the evening with a selection of wcllreceived songs.” Thankfully things improved in the following years, until FASS evolved into what it is today -- a two-act, multi-character play on a different, usually Univcrsity r&cd, subject each year. On the docket for this year’s Villigc Don ofthe Dual/ is a plcthara of gory and hilarious subjects. Awaking from a village party with a raging hangover, the Frosh Norman D. Invasion and his friend Chuck Offandie (yes they use a lot of puns) discover that the previous night’s party has resulted in the bloody deaths of cvcryone on the

floor. Campus police are sought out and brought to the scene, but by that time the bodies have completely disappeared from the dorm! A mystcrious ring is found, which may or may not be a clue to the remaining residents of the floor -- but will they realize the plot at hand before it’s too late? Predictably, you won’t find out here, you have to go to the show (of course.) Boasting one of the best FASS scripts in years, this show should be a hot seller if there’s any justice on earth. And it’s a musical, with songs lifted from reasonable sources thisycar(nodouble shot ofMeatIoaf this time, thank God) so it has to be entertaining, right?
