ast Tuesday the UW Board of Governors voted to increase tuition and co-op fees by 1 O%, effective as of Spring 1995. UW President James Downey remarked at the February 7 meeting that university grants and tuition fees have already been set for next year by Ontario’s government. Universities are not required to charge the extra 10% - but with a drop in enrolment and a projected operating deficit of $572,000 for 1994/ 95, UW’s Board felt it had no choice. Associate Provost, Finance Dorothy Battae stated that unless UW charges the maximum amount allowed by the govemment, the school cannot compete for grants. “I can see the logic,” Fed President Stephen Codrington said Wednesday, “but I have to disagree.” Battae noted that co-op fees will increase in tandem with tuition. Bruce Lumsden, director of Co-op Education, explained that

While some Board members expressed concern that increases would devastate departments now benefitting from international students, Vice President Academic Provost Jim Kalbfleisch claimed that the administration “can’t judge the affect the increase will have on students who have to pay the fees.” The Board voted 14- I3 in favour of the increase. A similar question about the effects of tuition increases on undergraduate enrolments was quickly dismissed. “What other choice do they have [but to pay the fees]?” one Board member scoffed. The increases don’t stop with tuition. Students who live in residence have even more to pay in the upcoming year. It will cost $54 more to live in Village in 1995/96, and $24 for Columbia Lake Townhouse residents. And finally - undergrads will be assessed 94$ per term to cover 75% of UW’s Cancopy license.

The $25 will now be refunded directly to all students who paid it for the Fall, 1994 through the mail starting in the next six to eight weeks. But the bank payments still have to be made, and the Student Centre Management Board expects a $100 000 shortfall for both this year and next.

elsewhere. It appears that the $23 miIlion/yearprogram will fall casualty to Federal budget cuts. According to Bernard Chabot, manager of the Canada Scholarship Program, cutting the program will hurt progress made in gender equity. The cut will also be detrimental to Canada’s future, he noted. “The major asset of any country is its brainpower and if we don’t do anything we won’t able to maintain the same standard of living and compete internationally,” said Chabot. “Canada needs a more technologically adC vanced population and the scholarship achieves this target.” The announcement is not yet official, but Chabot believes the cuts are inevitable. “We made a recommendation to have a reduced model, even at rock bottom with support from industry, but were told that it’s not possible,” he said.

mployment Equity policies in Canadian Universities have been poorly thought out. They are seriously muddled and inconsistent, alarmingly sweepingand indiscriminate, unsupported by sound empirical evidence, and vague to the point of allowing almost any iniquity in the name of “equity.” This was the message delivered by Grant Brown last Friday at a lecture presented as part of the Philosophy department’s regular colloquium series. Brown, a former M.A. student of the Universitv of Waterloo. is currer;tly completing a DPhil. in Philosophy from Jesus College, Oxford. His first criticism of employment equity polities was primarily a moral one, in which he stated simply that “two wrongs don’t make a right.” He suggested that employment equity policies (EEP) which attempt to right prior acts of discrimination are in complete contradiction to appeals for gender and racial equality, such as those made by Martin Luther King. To demonstrate the lack of need for such policies, Brown produced I

a set of statistics on the percentage of women in Canadian universities. His statistics are for the 198687 academic year, before the implementation of the Federal Employment Equity Act, thus precluding the suggestion that the figures were affected by that bill. His figures illustrate the fact that although the percentage of women with full professorship, associate professorship and assistant professorship is significantly less

Reaction those degrees, 768 were received by women. Of those 768 women who received degrees, 631 had jobs by 1986 (see attached chart for further data.) Brown also included various anecdotes from universities across Canada, where employment equity poficies have resulted in hardly any men receiving any positions in Canadian universities at all. Some of the universities expressly state that competition for women candidates is extremely fierce, contradicting the conventional belief that

Fed Hall by James Russell Imprint staff

ed hall is changing, trying to get in touch with the times and be more responsive to student needs. Why now? Because if they don’t do something, Fed Hall can expect a year-end operating deficit of $120,000. That’s the word from Christine Dewhurst, Vice-President Operations and Finance, the person responsible for overseeing all Fed Businesses, and, theoretically, for making sure that they make money. Fed Hall just hasn’t beendrawing the crowds it used to, and it’s feeling the effects, sometimes having to send staff home because there’s just no one to serve. To try and recoup some of the market share that has been eroded by other dance clubs around town that offer such enticements as direct bus service and cheap drinks, Fed Hall has made some changes. Three different marketing committees were struck, and they have come up with various suggestions, that range from trying to get more high school students in the place on Sunday nights (generally a slow night), to painting the interior black, in an attempt to get the bar more in touch with the times. “The recurring theme that is coming back is that Fed Hall is an ‘SO’s bar,” says Dewhurst. Fed hall has also made one more controversial change; cheap alcohol, all night, every night. Chuck McMulian, the manager of Fed Hall explained that “the liquor license act hasa clause in it that you’re not supposed to price alcohol at a figure that promotes

overconsumption.” However, he continues, “In the liquor license act, it does not give a specific price; it’s subject to interpretation.” A committee made up of the Fed executive, some members of Student’s Council, and Bob Sproule, the General Manager of the Federation of Students, has interpreted the act to allow $2.00 drinks. This is not seen as unreasonable, as various clubs around KW offer drinks for as little as $1.44. Some months ago, the municipal liquor inspector, employed by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (L.C.S.O.) attempted to bring the price war in town under control, but with little success. A meeting was held with all the local club owners, and an unwritten agreement was made to have a $2.25 minimum. However, the peace didn’t last, and the war was on again. It is in response to this price war that Fed Hall is finally respondmg. “WC can either remain competitive with off-campus facilities that cater to students, or we can leave our prices the same and watch our customer base erode,” say McMullan. The decision has not been an easy one, and the issue is not settled yet. The University holds the liquor license, not the Federation of Students, and they may put pressure on the Feds to jack the prices back up. “If they wanted to shut the door, they could,” says McMullan, of the possibility that the University could theoretically shut down Fed Hall if no mutually agreeable price could be reached. “They couldn’t force us to

“The Ziquor license act has a clause in it that you h? nut supposed to price alcohol at aj?‘gure that promotes overconsumption. ” committee for the university, dots not approve of the price change. “I do not support it,” says Hopkins, adding that the committee is “working on some other long-term xolutions.” He has drafted a letter to the Federation on this matter, and wouldn’t say more. The University’s main concern is that such prices will be encourag-

ing students to overindulge. Bob Sprule understands this, saying “certain license holders may be more sensitive to issues of inducement that others,” adding that it is certainly also a concern of the Feds. Julie Cole, Vice-President University Affairs doesn’t think that this will be the case. “The price doesn’t have an impact on incidents at Fed Hall,” she says. Citing statistics from the 1993 trial of $2.00 drinks, Cole explains that the number of “incidents” (including people vomiting, fighting or otherwise causing trouble) in that period increased in exact proportions to the attendance at Fed Hall. However, the “incidents list” itself may play a role in the low attendance at Fed Hall that has brought about this price change. Anyone who gets on the list must come in for a meeting with McMullan to talk about the incident. When asked if he thought that such a policy may be a deterrent to going to Fed, he replied “yes.” Dewhurst defends the mcctings though, saying that they are “one of our justifications to the liquor inspector” for the concession to let underage people into Fed Hall. She says that they are useful in

informing people on exactly what policies the bars have to follow. Larry Vaughn, manager of the Bombshelter agrees. “Students have to realize [that] we have a responsibility to follow L.C.B.O. rules.” Both he and McMullan agree that on-campus bars come out looking worse than off-campus bars because they have to strictly adhere to the policies. Vaughn cites greater scrutiny from the Inspector for this, because, says Vaughn, “they don’t think students can run a bar.” Despite all this, Fed Hall isn’t relying on cheap alcohol to make it profitable, says Dewhurst. It has diversified into the Pizza business, it has “ten times more banquets booked than last year,” and, adds Dewhurst, “the Bingo license has ben in the works since the fall term.” Also, Fed Hall has changed its programming to include Altcmative Fridays and ‘*Nothing Nineties” Saturdays. Nonetheless, the big question is; are $2.00 drinks going to bring Fed Hall out of it’s $120,000 hole and back into the black? So far, so good, says Dewhurst, noting that the total revenue from sales on Thursday, Feb. 2nd of $8,000 were almost twice as high as sales from one week earlier.

ong Lee is disappointed, not angry, he says. Lee was a candidate in the Federation of Students election, but has been disqualified after a complaint was filed questioning his eligibility. Exactly which of his competitors filed the complaint is “strictly confidential,” according to Kelly Foley, the Chief Returning Officer (C.R.O.) for the elections. Lee was declared ineligible under Federation of Students elec-

candidate tion By-law III, part A, section 3. This part of the By-laws deals with who is a full member of the corporation (the Feds). This states that “each fulltime undergraduate student who is not registered in a current term but who was registered in the previous term and has shown intention to register in the next term” is a full member, and thus, eligible to run in the elections. Lee is currently registered in a Masters Accounting program, yet was allowed to run by Foley on the grounds that last term, he was a filltime undergraduate student and

Lee had apparently said that he intended to take undergraduate courses in the summer. She also claims to be unaware of Lee’s current academic status. “We were not aware he had entered (a) Masters (program) .” At the all-candidates meeting held on January 13, Foley brought up the matter of Dong’s questionable eligibility, and declared the matter closed as it had been looked into. Yet, on February 2nd, the day before the campaign period started, she received a formal complaint with “new evidence,” and after a meeting on the 3rd, Lee was disqualified, Lee was only told of the complaint and his potential disqualification on the morning of the 3rd, the start of the campaign period. He had to spend most of the day doing postering with his running-mates, and claims to have had little time to prepare for the meeting. “They gave me no time,” said Lee. How was I supposed to defend myself?” Foley didn’t think that was an issue though, commenting that how much time he might have needed was “relative to how much defending he needed,” and that “it was in Dong’s best interest to have the meeting then.”

disqualified At the meeting, the Election Committee decided that Lee was ineligible as he did not fit the de% nition that said “each full time undergraduate student who...has shown intention to register in the next term.” Even though Lee got himself a registration form for undergrad courses and a withdrawal form to withdraw from Grad school, the

committee decided that he had no intention of really registering after asking him if he would attempt to get back into Grad school if he lost the election. Any moron would,” Lee answered, explaining that he had no intention ofjust wasting a full term. “I think I got burned for telling the truth,” he said.

However, Lee had one more chance. He appealed to the Students Council Board of Directors, which has the power to ovcrtum any Election Committee decision. They met on Monday, February 6th. The Board of Directors consists ofthe Fed executive (President, VPUA and VPOF) and four members of Students CounciI elected to the Board at a General Meeting. Two members of the Board did not participate in the meeting though, as they are currently candidates in the elections. The Board of Directors also disqualified Lee, but for a different reason. The by-law refers to a “fuIltime undergraduate student.” Since Lee is in a Graduate program, he is not a full-time undergrad in any capacity (it doesn’t matter what he did last term or intends to do in the next term), and so should never have been eligible. Lee has accepted the decision but still has some questions about the process. “Why did it take them four hours for them to figure out that I’m not an undergrad,” he wonders, referring to the fact that the Board meeting concerning his case lasted until about 2 a.m., when he was informed of the decision by phone. “I’m really disappointed it had to happen this way.”

UW student to build schools in Guvana by Tasha Imprint

Lackman Staff

his summer, a University of Waterloo student will be working with a team in Guyana, South America on various projects related to development. Ryan Norris, a second year geography student was rcccntly sclscted to join the Youth Challenge International (YCI) team for Project Guyana Scvcn, which is made up of Canadians, Australians, Costa Ricans and Guyancsc youths. The group will work in conjunction with Guyanesc communities to build health centres, schools, or to carry out various medical or scientific and projects. “The projects stress economic sustainability and cooperation with the natives. It is more along a self help theme then anything else. It meets peoples’ needs, but doesn’t create new needs for them,” explained Norris. Projects aren’t definite until arrival in Guyana because of various factors, including the country’s poor infrastructure and the difficulty of communicating with the vilIagcs where the projects might take place. The needs for certain projects may also change from the planning stages of the project to the project’s execution. “I am going on this project bccausc I am intcrcsted in a pcr-

sonal experience to gain a wider range of perspcctivcs on cultures and global issue and also because 1 think that what YCI does is very productive... I am convinced that their method of community based projects arc more effective than large scale economic support cfforts,” indicated Norris. YCl’s mission statement combines Norris’s two objectives; promoting young people’s active, responsible and continuing participation in critical issues of local and

The projects stress

portation, material supplies for construction projects, and food supplies for the volunteers. The communities provide accommodations for the group of volunteers. Norris is raising his money through corporate and personal sponsors. “I’ve already had some success on campus with Federation of Students and WPIRG,” he said. YCI is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization run mostly by volunteers. Presently they only have two full time paid staff. “In most organizations operating costs are as high as 80%, and people don’t know that,” expressed Norris,

According to a survey conducted by the Addiction Research Foundation, you probably have The survey, which more than 6,000 Ontario university students completed, discovered that students are drinking more heavily than ever before. The survey also showed that compared to 1988, more students are experiencing problems relating to drinking, such as hangovers, missing classes, lower grades, vomiting, memory loss, fighting and trouble with the law. It also revealed that students with D averages were 3.2 times more likely to drink 15 or more drinks a week than those with an A average, that 94.4% reported alcoho1 use in the previous year, and that 52% reported drinking five or more drinks in a single sitting in the week before the survey.

As we all know by now, elections are boring - fucking boring. With fourteen, oops, I mean thirteen candidates, the average student has a lot of listening and reading to do. The Prez-O-matic is designed not so much as an attempt to predict the winner (although if you look really carefully. . . ) but as a handy-dandy insta-guide to the the current candidates’ experience as compared with previous winners. Some trends are quite obvious, while others are lesspredictable. Note: The Prez-O-Matic should only be used in conjunction with other campaign material, and should not be considered a primary source. Think of it as the Coles Notes of the political scene. If you want to become more informed about the issues in this election, read Imprint, talk to the candidates, discuss the issues with your ftiends, pick names out of a hat, at least do something for Christ’s sake. Our next president may very well be elected by the smallest percentage of students in Waterloo’s history. If you want to make a difference, stay aware and informed, and make the choice you think is right. On the other hand, if you don’t care, don’t start whining about your $7,000 a ten-n tuition if you didn’t bother to find out what the tick was going on in the first place.

s the theme from The Love Bout promised us, love is “life’s sweet est reward.” On a good day, pcrhaps; on most days it is life’s cruellest qcnalty, a bitter, bitter reminder of what 1 brutal world this really is. Some of you, however, may bc icmptcd to enter the world of romance, and for you, I have devised a little test to <cc whether or not you arc, indeed, ready For love. Let’s start with the initial phase of Finding your loved one. Whether you’re planning on cruising the bar scene, or zxpccting yotlr friends to set you up, that initial contact is all-important. So, if you’re intercstcd in taking that plunge, look at the following statements: 3) I do not have enough pain in my life. 3) I do sort of enjoy rejection. 2) Getting laid is more important to me than my self-respect. d) I have no self-respect. If you agree with any of the above statements, congratulations (or, condolences), you can now move on to stage

two.

In stage two, you’re ‘*going out” but not quite “having sex.” You’ve seen a movie or two, and had dinner, but you don’t know where all your partner’s tatLOOS are. To have sex with someone is a big decision, so bcforc you decide to make the beast with two backs, take a Iook at the following declarations: a) I consider a venereal disease a war wound b) Being the subject of gossip is sort of neat c) I’m ready to be raised to the point of titillating arousal only to be told “not tonight.” d) I am sure thcrc is no hell If you agree with any of the above statements, WARNING: YOU MAY BE IN A RELATIONSHIP. If this turns out to be the case, there is nothing you can do but wait forthe inevitable decline, culminating in “the breakup.” Some of you will try (foolishly) to stave off this unavoidable situation, but will eventuaIly learn your lesson. Your only chance is to let it go, and move on. If you don’t believe me, let me suggest some alternatives instead: a) Fighting can bring two people together b) Winning arguments by hurting people isn’t all bad c) Endless bickering about trivial matters is fun d) 1 don’t mind hating someone I once loved Again, if you answered “yes” to any of these, you will surely end up never talking to this person again, but then that isn’t always a bad thing. Well that’s it. The horrible thing about it, of course, is that the alternative, loneliness, is perhaps even worse. If you don’t think so, and are still trying to use the old “I enjoy being single” line, let’s check out how serious you are, and see if you also agree with these options: a) Television can be my best friend b) 1 don’t think sex is that great cj I like having lots of room in my bed d) Television is my best friend After reaching this point, ifyou think me a cynic, pessimistic, or simply unloveable, please return to the beginning of this column and take the test again and again until you a) learn your lesson or b) die.

Students serving Students?. I

have been attending the University of Waterloo for just over four years now, and have followed University politics with a passing interest. I’ve attended quite a few forums in four years, and have noticed various issues floating in and out of the student consciousness. At the same time, I’ve noticed a few similarities between student politics and the world political scene; namely a genera1 disrespect for our fellow human beings. Whether it’s Muslims killing Jews, Croats killing Serbs, RusB sians killing Chechnyans, or what have you, the common thread to all these events is a very simple disrespect for a di ffereni cult&e. Being enlightened students in a first world country and attending a prestigious university, it is easy for us to wonder why such ignorant in-fighting goes on. The answer is before our very eves. One only has to attend any 0; the forums to notice the tendency towards cheap shots and rhetdrical “points” that almost all of the candidates are utilizing for that all important extra vote. The human being is a political animal, as Aristotle once said, and at the time that he said it, it wasn’t an insult. Today, the term “political” has gained some nasty overtones, and rightfully so. If the candidates running for positions this year treated me, as a student, the way they treat each other, I’m sure

about US, THE STUDENTS. Bullshit! The candidates are worried strictly about winning, and I just wish they’d have the guts to say this. Even MPs, who have wallowed in the muck of politics for years, at least have the courtesy to admit when one of their opponents makes a good point. At the University of Waterloo, our future student leaders don’t have the good graces that the Reform Party shows the Bloc Quebecois.

never hears rumours that so-and-so and soand-so are getting along really well, or soand-so did so-and-so a good turn. This is to be expected, I suppose, since people generally aren’t interested in good news, but the sheer number of negative comments that hover over the candidates’ heads like a halo of flies only serves to f&her sully their characters. I must admit that these comments do not apply to all the candidates. Neither does it apply to all politicians. There are many student politicians who do believe in helping students out. Having said that, all the candidates read.

Running against someone for a position should not preclude working with that person toward some common goals. If we are to take the candidates at face value on their ptatforms, they are all remarkably similar in their goals, yet why then do we really only see the candidates together when it’s time for a forum? Most of the time, the tickets are gathered together as though they were members of some religious cabal. Rumours

and hearsay

are the backdrop

for any political campaign, and this year is no different. It really makes no difference whether or not the rumours are true. The simple fact that they hang in the air like a foul fog contaminates the entire election. One

t~Ze%~man nature to think the best of yourself, you, the candidates, know what you have and have not done. If you consider watching the people you’re running against like hawks in hopes that they will fuck up, or if you’re twisting every interpretation of election by-laws in your favour, you are, and I cannot stress this in stronger terms, nothing more than a Eawyer. Common courtesy, good manners and politness cost nothing, and best of all, it’s good politics! Students don’t identify with condescending politicians. They want to care about their government, but that starts with respecting their leaders. It may be true that nice ‘persons’ finish last, but at least those people wit1 have a clear conscience and will be able to look at themselves in the mirror. Doesn’t that count for something? - Name

The Fear of Gcx! To the Editor, Having read how the advocates from both the Islamic and Christi;;n fronts cut each other’s throats by the pen, I couldn’t hc Ia)but to respond. What struck me j:, how both parties keep referring to those books which have been written by MEN (ancient men), over two millennia ago. They compare the written word in one book against that in the other, when these books have been born from drastically different peoples, with different cultures. That’s li kc comparing oranges with chairs. Sorry, no can do! We cannot overlook one fact: the power of the media. We cannot ignore the effect it has on society today - the way it shapes our views and the way it affects our lives. If the media is powerful today, imagine the media two thousand years ago. The written word not only affected culture then, but was like a message through time, affecting all * cultures now and in the future. While most religions frown at the thought of evolution, they miss the fact that religions themselves have EVOLVED. For example, most religions don’t make human sacrifices anymore. God is now GOD rather than HE, and so on. I believe that from the start, religion was meant to unite humanity, not create wars. However, highly abstract concepts are open to interpretation by humans. Some races redefine what humanity should really be. Some have gone to the extent of attempting to eliminate all others who don’t fit the mold of their perceived God. Luckily (hopefully), most partsoftheCIVILIZED globe recessed from its climatic crusade to kill in the name of religion. I believe that the concept of GOD is a natural response of humans to fear the elements. When we hear the phrase, “I’m a God fearing man,” we should realize that it is not God that this person really fears. What he really fears are the events which COULD cause pain, suffering and death, to himself, to his kin, or to his environment. I am not disputing the importance of faith here. I only believe that faith is from within, not from a book written so many years ago. Who is to say that any one faith is more correct than all others? Don’t tell me that the answer is God because the Bible or the Qur’an said so. God, the Bible and the Qur’an cannot speak. It is the people who have written these books who have spoken - people who still thought the world was flat, by the way. I do believe that there is a basic set of ideas which all humans must adhere to in order to be united. These ideas are common to aII religions. Perhaps someday, someone will come along and say, “Wait a second, guys. We’re going about this all wrong. Why fight over our differences, when we can combine our efforts to create a new and better religion that is the superset ofall religions - a religion that will actually work.” Someday. Not today such a highly abstract concept is

open to interpretation.. - Juhn Tran 4% Computer

The Kindness strangers

To the Editor, In a time when strangers are feared, I am thankful that people haven’t lost the courage to care. On Saturday, January 2 1, after a night at Fed Hall with some friends, I found myself lying on an icy walk with a nasty bump on my head, and the inability to move my legs. I have never experienced a similar fear. So, there were these strangers random people also leaving after a good night out. Brad was the one who took control. He talked me through a long and uncomfortable wait for an ambulance while I hyperventilated and shivered violently. He had people sacrificing their jackets to keep me warm, and then stayed in emergency with me until he knew I was fine. These strangers suddenly became my support system. They all cared to see me get through another day. Jacketless, they stood around me to block the wind. My heartfelt thanks to you all. Jeff kept my thoughts focused on far away beaches and warm sunshine, never leaving my side; Honey, Sandy, and Brett, they all stayed in the waiting room while I thawed and regainedmy strength. I can’t thank any of them enough. My legs work fine now, my gooseegg is going away, and after a full week of rest, my muscles are returning to normal. People do care, and although talk of strangers is usually ladened with caution, if it weren’t for the kindness and caring of these “strangers,” who knows what might have happened. Somehow, thanks just can’t say enough. - Kelly

Student offended To the Editor, I am writing with regard to the poster insert in January 27th’s Tmprint. Although some students may have had no problem with the condom advertisement which read “Study in Spurts” with a wrapped condom and the caption “Get Some” below it (for the benefit of those who did not see the twelve million and one copies of it strewn and scattered around all of the Imprint boxes), I believe it was in extremely

Right in the middleof an importantbusiness meeting,Douglasnxeives a call on his mrdlessface. poor taste to include such a distasteful exploitation ofsexual gratification in an academic newspaper. I understand that our newspaper was not responsible for developing the poster, but I do believe that some accountability on the part of the Imprint must be held for promoting it. A poster that attempts to intrigue students through an overtly erotic pun is not witty, nor is it the most effective avenue for encouraging condom use for sexually active students. Rather, it merely increases the prevalent attitude in our current society which undermines the value of sex by marketing some trendy phrase for our generation to proudly hang on their walls and live by. Furthermore, this poster minimalizes the horrible reality of AIDS in our society through its correlation between provocative humour and the devastation of an epidemic. I believe a harder hitting message is delivered in the current Elton John T.V. spot where the destruction of AIDS is revealed in terrible, heart wrenching statistics. In an effort to communicate all anglesofthis issue, it must be said that condoms are ineffective, unreliable and fallible to some degree even when used consistently and correctly (Centres for Disease Control, July 30, 1993, p.1). Consequently, how about inserting a poster in the Imprint on the value of abstinence? Although this may not be the most popular attitude on a university campus, such a viewpoint is a wise and justified decision in the midst of a diseased plagued and sex-obsessed socieq. It is important to relate to students that an undeniable risk is taken when sex is had outside the bonds of a committed, monclgamous relationship - even when a condom is used.

Therefore, as I opened my copy of the Imprint in eager anticipation and found the glossy (non-recyclable, by the way), offensive poster in question, I felt the need to make my disappointment and disgust at its inclusion known. - Christine 3B English

Defender of the faith To the Editor, I am writing in regards to Mike McNulty’s letter from the February 3 issue of Imprint, entitled, “Warner hates Classic Rock.” McNulty, somewhere in between his constant barrage of name-calling and insults, made a number of points which I, as a devoted fan and self-appointed defender of classic rock, would like to address, if I may. McNulty, at one point, claims that, “Twenty years ago some of were tolerable their songs [McNulty’s generosity is overwhelming], but what the Eagles do now has nothing to do with creative expression and passion, and everything to do with staying rich and famous.” McNulty then insults the fans, “who simply do not know any better.” Firstly, though I do not remember the exact sources, it has been written that all members of the Eagles were doing quite well for themselves over the past 20 years, and I would turn my attention to the promoters instead of the band itself. Remember the Stones insisted that their ticket prices be affordable rather than the huge prices sug-

gested. Secondly, Mr. McNulty, I question who “does know better?” Are The Eagles and other classic rock fans slobbering idiots, who have not been “enlightened” to your music? Could they not possibly be people who can afford a little bil extra to see a band they grew up with (whether the band members like each other or not)? According to you, I guess not. Thirdly, McNulty talks about “expos[ing] Classic Rock for what it is: regurgitated swill for those who just do not know that there are alternatives, or who can’t be bothered to find out.” WRONG! I, and many people that I know, have sampled many, many examples of numerous forms of TODAY’s music. I’ll give some examples: 1) Dance Music - sure, you can dance to it, but it’s repetitive, and often not creative. 2) Country - Listenable, but toe-tappin’ jamborees aren’t everybody’s taste. 3) Alternative a false name now, given that much of it’s become mainstream - also, just a lot of noise in my opinion. 4) Rap - Though I can appreciate the messages being brought out through this, it’s just not my cup of tea. - lain Dmitrienko 2Md year History

Choking on vomit To the Editor, I am writing to set Shane Balcolm straight about BACCHUS, because he obviously fails to understand what we’re all about. If you want to “get cranked on a Wednesday night,” that’s yourbusiness. When it comes to drinking and driving or date rape (75% involve situations where one or both people have been drinking) or destroying your health, that’s where BACCHUS’ concern lies. We try to promote staying in control so that you don’t hurt yourself or someone else, be it physically, emotionally or psychologically. To be honest, I wish there was no need for BACCHUS. Unfortunately, there are university students who are seriously hurt or killed every year because of abuse of alcohol. If there’s any way I can encourage them to look out for themselves and others, I’ll do it - regardless of what anyone says. I’m very grateful to have many volunteers helping me do this essential work. Fortunately, they don’t share the apathy students are so often criticized for. Some advice, Mr. Balcolm: in the future, think before you speak. Finally, next time you decide to “get cranked on a Wednesday make sure someone is night,” around who knows enough to roll

you over on your side if you pass out - so you don’t choke on your own vomit. Perhaps they’ll have seen our presentation during frosh week?

What do soldiers do? To the Editor, This is a letter in response to Miss Calder’s inaccurate article on the Canadian Airborne Regiment in the January 27th issue. 1 would like to apologize to the Regiment for not reading the article sooner, so that the innocent members could be defended. If Miss Calder had a suitable IQ for university, she would realize that when writing such a story, correct information is necessary. Maybe if she watched television long enough, she would know the facts. To start, the hazing video featured 1 Commando, NOT 2 Commando. Two Commando was involved in the Somalia incident and over the last two years, the guilty have been dealt with accordingly through the court of law. Secondly, if the “star” of the second video was so harassed, why is he still a proud, popular member of the regiment? Do you not think he would have left if the circumstances were so evil? Funny how hc was still smiling during the portions of the video that were shown on television. Thirdly, does Miss Calder understand what a soldier does? They give their lives for the rest of us who sit in glass palaces, like university, and think we are above God himself. Has she ever gone thirty-six days with no shower while living in a desert, with approximately three hours of sleep a day, with no change of clothes or a proper meal? 1 highly doubt it. I would like to ask Miss Calder if she is so narrow minded that she thinks these are the only people who do such acts? Wake Lp! Check out frosh weeks from other schools, fraternities (not necessarily Sigma Chi), and minor hockey leagues in Southern Ontario. I would also like to ask Miss Calder how she feels about child abuse’? Should the Roman Catholic church not be disbanded for their acts? At least the men in the 1 Commando video could have defended themselves if they had wanted to. Children can’t. 1 don’t think any of us have the right to pass judgment on innocent, decent people when the only facts we have are from the media. Besides, it was chewing tobacco, not feces. Funny how the two look similar through a television screen. Furthermore, for someone who is condemning the Airbome...NICE TITLE, what a hypocrite. - Julianne Oeike and Elizabeth Jacob Editur ‘s Note: WhilelmprintweIcomes constructive criticism frum the universitycommunity, such critiques should attack alz article ‘s arguments and not the author.

An ACAC socialist writes To the Editor, The January 25 protest-rally organized by the Anti-Cuts Action Committee (ACAC) was a plain success; the Fed-hysteria about ‘hysteria was exposed in the first place upon solidarity a.ndmvbiIization was demonstrated, For not only did this event galvanize our opposition to the cuts; not only was the bogus ‘special interest grou;’ ~.f?tus of students concretely refuted w&out losing student is*+ sues within some larger agenda; and not oniy

were these concerns impressed upon our M.P. with the force of an angry and united community; but moreover, this strategy carries on beyond January 25: the pressure will be sustained as the strategic allies of the ACAC (e.g. OSSTF, Waterloo Regional Labour Council, Waterloo Regional Coalition for Social Justice) make links with student concerns (and deliver more of our petitions) as they lobby Telegdi and other regional M.P.‘s before the budget comes down. Despite nasty opposition, the ACAC has conducted a serious campaign for student rights. Hopefully our elected student representatives, current and soon to be clcctcd, will heed Sandy Atwal’s remark (20 January) that an official rethinking of strategy with respect to government funding cuts and tuition hikes is in order. For there are altematives to the present course, real alternatives that are critical of an established, unfair, and worsening pattern of public entitlement allocation. But these alternatives can’t be secured through a concessionary approach that aims to swing deals ‘behind closed doors.’ Adherence to such arbitrary limitations will most assuredly prevent students from getting a fair deal. The success of the ACAC strategy provides a thought-provoking backdrop for the upcoming elections and referendum for those who take things seriously. - Bryan Smyth, Anti-Cuts Action

Qur’an enforces stereotypes

religion. Again, I do not think that the essence of Islam is to love the Qur’an to the point of showing disrespect to others -- and showing disrespect is exactly what you have been doing. If you have already discussed these principles of Islamic theology then discuss them again! It is more important to repeat these doctrines (since your readership is not always the same, i.e., people graduate) than to discuss things which will alienate you and all other Muslims on this campus. I am neither debating your right to have religious beliefs nor concerned with the truth of your claims. T do wonder, however, if you are achieving the goals of your column or if you are actually reinforcing the stereotypical views of Islam which you are attempting to challenge. - Shahina Philosuphy

Mapara,

Context, text and Islam To the Editor, I write this letter in response to an article written by Khaled Sharaf, which appeared on page 12 in this past Friday’s edition of the Imprint (Jan 27). In the article entitled “The Qur’an Speaks,” Sharaf compares the lslamic doctrinal belief in the “Oneness” of “Allah” to the “Judaeo-Christian”doctrine of God, which Sharaf appears to suggest is more of an animistic or pantheistic concept than one which presupposes a unique and personal God; a being who is characterized by the very same “oneness” which Islam at-

tributes to Allah. Sharaf asks the reader to consider “the concept of God other traditions and teachings

existing in (including Judaeo-Christian ones), where divinity is attributed to trees, stars, animals, spirits or even humans.” Although this is a very interesting definition of the Judaeo-Christian God, it neverthclcss is apparently quite uniformed. Surely there are rules in Islam, as in every other religion, for interpreting the Scriptures that are considered sacred, and above all else true, by the believer. Moreover, those interpretations, if they are to be correct, are thoroughly dependant upon the context in which a specific text is found. This is also very much the case with the truths found in the sacred texts held by both Jews and Christians. The appropriate rules, and the contexts within which those rules are to be applied, must also be held intact when one considers, and especially when one chooses to report on, what is correct doctrinally according to this group. Unfortunately, Sharaf s statement reveals a considerable level of ignorance on each level -- on the level of the specific texts alluded to, the contexts which shape those passages, and the rules by which both text and context are brought to proper light. Sharaf’s statement concerning the Judaeo-Christian concept of God is, in this case, accompanied neither by textual nor by proper interpretational evidence of any kind. I appreciate the fact that, when speaking for Islam and its doctrine concerning Allah, Sharaf provides an abundance of evidence. That is as it should be. I only wish, however, that the same effort and care were taken when Sharaf supposes to stand as a voice of truth concerning the Judaeo-Christian doctrine of God. - Rob Jaster

To the Editur, Mr. Elrabaa, Mr. Rehan and Mr. Sharaf, T must ask what is the actual mandate of “The Qur’an Speaks” ? When the column first appeared a few terms ago 1 was impressed that a Muslim was attempting to explain the precepts of Islam -- a religion which is highly misunderstood by the media. In your recent columns, however, it seems that you have lost sight of your goals. 1 am assuming that you all share the goals stated by Mr. Rehan in the January 27 Imprint, "He [Mr. Szucs] is restricting his knowledge about Islam to the standard stereotypes against Islam as portrayed in the media. This is exactly why we are presenting the Qur’an Speaks column.” I do not wish to debate the superiority of Islam, the Qur’an as literature, or the greatness of Islamic civilizations. What 1 feel the need to address here is your method. 1. Pardon my pragmatics, but if your goal is to inform and educate, do you really think that you will be successful when you are insulting your audience by insisting that their civilizations and Scriptures are inferior? Regardless of whether these claims are true or not, if you continue to insult your readership they will stop reading your column -many already have. Who will you address when this day comes (if it hasn’t already)? The answer is that you will be addressing the people that already believe exactly what you do! In that case who are you educating? And what is the real purpose of the column? When this not so hypothetical day comes, your column will be nothing more than a confessional of your faith -- admirable as that may be, perhaps the Mosque is a more appropriate forum for your confessionals. 2. If you believe that certain elements in Islam are superior, that’s fine, but the last time I checked the principles of Islam the belief that the Qur’an is the greatest work of literature ever produced was not in the top five. Rather the belief in the Qur’an and a respect for the other Scriptures and theAhlaZKitab, which means the People of the Book (people who have had Scriptures revealed to them, i.e., Christians and Jews) are important. If your mandate is really to inform the university community, then it may be more representative of Islam to discuss the fundamental principles of faith, rather than things which the Qur’an says but not central to the

Fasting

“0 you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that you may (learn) self-restraint.” [translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verse 2: 1831 by Sameh E. Rehan special to Imprint Despite the differences in their religious backgrounds, John and Ahmad are close friends. They take lunch together every day at their school’s restaurant. John has already known that Ahmad, as a Muslim, does not eat pork atid does not drink alcohol. One day, they met at noon in the school and as usual they walked in the direction of the restaurant. However, when they reached there, the following conversation took place between them. John (J): What are you going to have for today? Ahmad (A): Sorry John. I’ll eat after sunset. J: Pardon me? After sunset!? A: Yes. As you know, I’m a Muslim and I’m now practicing one of the main pillars of Islam, which is fasting daily for one complete lunar month every year. J: Should all Muslims fast? A: Fasting is mandatory for every Muslim who is adult, physically able (I mean, not ill and not too old), sane, and resident (in other words, not traveling because of the expected hardship for a fasting person during lunch

traveling).

additional

Gondition

the

case of women is freedom from menstruation and post childbirth confinement periods. J: You said you’I1 eat after sunset! What are the rules for this fasting? A: To perform an Islamic fasting, one

(1)

should refrain from doing some things that are allowed for her/him during other times. These things are: food, drink, and sexual intercourse (with one’s spouse). The period that a Muslim should observe fasting is between dawn and sunset every day of that lunar month. J: In return for your fasting, are you allowed to do some acts that are forbidden in other months (for example, can you drink alcohol at night in this month?). A: Not at all. In fact, fasting ideally means refraining from all vices and evils. Prophet Muhammad said: If one does not abandon falsehood in words and deeds, GOD has no need for his/her abandoning of his/her food and drink. He also said: Fasting is not (mere) refraining from food and drink. Fasting (is refraining) from vain talk and obscenity. And if one slanders you or offends you, say I’m fasting. I’m fasting. J: Ahmad, beside the rewards that you are expecting for performing this act of worship, are there any benefits for fasting in this life? A: Of course, there are many. Muslim scholars described some of these benefits and categorized them under four subheadings: spiritual & moral, psychological, social, and physical & medical. J: Can you tell me some benefits from each category? A: Let me do some readings tonight and get back to you tomorrow. J: O.K., Ahmad, see you tomorrow. A; Peme be with you, John.

Is OUSA A

h, the referendum season is upon us once again. First, we booted the OFS in ‘92. Second, we booted the CFS in ‘93. And now, dear students, it is time to boot OUSA. OUSA positions itself as the only rational choice for Ontario university representation. They only lobby the government on issues relating directly to funding, quality, and accessibility. OUSA’s methods are, it claims, more rational, dignified, and productive than those of the CFS. Subsequently, it is “invited to the table” with such notables as Lloyd Axworthy and David Cooke, who in turn allegedly listen seriously to OUSA’sproposals, and students come away winners. That OUSA needs more money -- which will come from our Federation of Students’ budget -- to enhance its lobbying, is a reasonable proposal, it says, considering how wonderful an organization it is. Sure, it’ll cost the Feds an additional $15,000 a year, but it’s all for the common good. A wondefil sentiment, but one which doesn’t really work out all that well in reality. OUSA wants to double its budget, and the Feds will have to around Pay $30,000 a year to stay a member. This is a ludicrous amount of money for what we get. The Feds could easily hire their own full time lobbyist for this amount of money, and have a generous travel allowante to boot. Surely that would give UW students much better and more specialized representation than OUSA currently provides. After all, look at the positions that OUSA stands for and how effectively they have really lobbied the government. The basic strategy behind OUSA is that CFS-style, hostile and extreme opposition to government policy gets students nowhere. But OUSA goes much too far in the opposite direction, using “realism” and “pragmatism” to justify stances virtually indistinguishable from those of the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), the Ontario Council on University Affairs (CXUA), and even the government itself. We really don’t even need OUSA, as it is not an effective lobby group by any stretch of the imagination. It has had no influence on any decision made by either the federal or provincial government. It can claim no progress on its platforms, except the platforms that conformed to governmental policies anyway. Some examples: Tuition has gone up 42% since OUSA started. Oh, but I forget: that’s a good thing to OUSA, which advocates increased tuition, along with increases in government tinding. Too bad that OUSA was only half successf$ getting yet another 10% increase in tuition (effective next term), but no similar increase in government money. Of course, OUSA doesn’t want tuition to go up unless it is also

accompanied by a better loan plan. It feels that an income-contingent loan repayment plan (ICLRP) would be that better plan. But after months of studying ICLRP proposals, OUSA released a paper last fall filled with general principles, virtually identical to Chose of the government. No specifics, no definite parameters an ICLRP should have as a minimum. Just lots of fee3 good inanities about how ICLRPs will be beneficial to students. OUSA could claim that it at least brought ICLRPs to the bargaining table, except that it would be lying. With Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, and recently the United States implementing ICLRPs to huge fiscal success (the US saved over $5 billion by revamping portions of their loan system), the odds of Ontario not considering ICLRPs were pretty negligible. (But don’t forget that CKJSA was invited to the ICLRP symposium last September, along with several hundred other people, and most major student groups.) The stance OUSA has taken on ICLRPs shows a certain hypocrisy, incidentally. It staunchly supports ICLRps as a better system of stu-

should be considered independently of tuition and funding. It will be good for students to have an ICLRP regardless, OUSA argues, and tying ICLRPs to funding or tuition issues only clouds the matter. But at the same time, OUSA defends its calls for increases in tuition by saying that they should only be considered in conjunction with an ICLRP to help students afford it. “The higher education community has to put aside the issue of tuition fees and agree on a new student aid system. We think Income-Contingent Loans should be that new system.” (OUSA press release, Sept. 2 1, 1994.) Hmmmm. Tuition is inseparable from ICLRPs, but ICLRPs should not be considered with tuition issues. I’m glad that OUSA is clear on that. But what about OUSA’s staunch defence of students in the areas of ancillary fees? Originally, they were completely against ancillary fees in any shape or form. One document claimed that “if funding to universities were to increase, this should be seen as an opportunity to eliminate ancillary fees without vndue trauma to the system.*’ Aside from how painfully self-evident that is, it does sound an awful lot like the dreaded CFS’ stance on tuition: if finding was increased enough, tuition would be unnecessary. True, the scale of funding required is different, but the principle is exactly the same. Mind you, the government ignored OUSA on this one and allowed ancillary fees. Our own Feds also ignored OUSA’s stance and entered into negotiations with the university on how to charge the fees fairly. Then the government announced that, well, students

should have a say in any ancillary fees(thisisafteranumberofOUSA schools, such as Western, already had fees instated without student input). So OUSA gaveup its principled stance and decided that if students agree on a fee, it’s okay to have one. Aw, that’s almost touching: I’mso glad OUSA was there to fight for my rights on that one. There was another demand on OUSA of import: that the gOvemment set up Quality Enhancement Funds (QEFs). What are they, you ask? They’re an OUSA initiative the govemment is ignoring, unlike OUSA’s stance on tuition, which the NDP likes. QEFs would cost money, so OUSA is forced to downplay that aspect. There is no reason to support OUSA. The government picks and chooses from OUSA’s policies to fit the gtivemment’s, not OUSA’s, mandate. OUSA, however, deludes itself and assumes that Lloyd Axworthy calls it “reasonable” for some reasonotherthan the fact that that OUSA is the sell-out that it is. There is a simple reason why Axworthy and Cooke like talking to OUSA: OUSA agrees with them on most things, and only grumbles

about others. When OUSA is thwarted (as it has been on every position that doesn’t correspond to the government’s stance), it sighs and says “oh well, we tried, too bad.” It certainly doesn’t raise a big stink or do anything troublesome, so why not invite it to the table -then Cooke and Axworthy can claim that they consulted students before

The referendum is not a choice between an inferior CFS and OUSA; there are other alternatives to OUSA that do not include rejoining the CFS or the CFS-0. What is in question is whether OUSA is worth $30,000 a year. It is not. When we left the OFS in ‘92, we

It is nothing to be proud of when you. go to bed with a group that wants to screw you. OUSA does have a better structure than the CFS does, but that alone is not enough to justify our membership in it. Besides, when the executive director fails to show up to help our Feds (January 25), it is hard to believe that the organization is truly responsive to its members. To base pro-OUSA arguments around its contrast with the CFS is to ignore the few benefits and many

Acid by Jodi Imprm

In The

Carbert stafr

In the early lY80 2, the generul public knew little ubout the problem of acid rain, especially in the United Stutes. It is estimcllted that while 80% of Canadians has heard of acid rain, only 15% of Americans were aware ofit. -Lois Sweet “Who’s Stopping the Rain?” Toronto Star, July 2, 1989.

hi1 Weller and the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group produced an informative book in 1980, entitled Acid Rain:

The Silent

Crisis.

This

in-

formative book is clearly written and referenced. It attributes sulphur and nitrogen oxides as the “primary agents in the production of acid rain.” These oxides “ErIeleased asgasesfrom ore smelters, coal-fired generating stations, automobiles and oil and gas refineries, these atmospheric pollutants

combine with water vapour in the air to form solutions of acid.” In 198 1 acid rain was killing microscopic plants and animals, snails, eggs of frogs and salamanders, and fish that inhabited Canada’s lakes and rivers. At this time Michael Perley and Adele Hurley founded the Canadian Coalition on Acid Rain. They were not only the executive coordinators but the chief lobbyists and worked with the CCAR until they disbanded shortly after the passing of the Clean Air I3ill in 1990. What started out as a citizen’s lobby group supported by 26 different interest groups in 198 1ended up representing over two million people in Canada alone, with 58 different member groups in I99 1. The CCAR had an ambitious mandate: not only to inform and educate the public on the deleterious effects of acid rain, but to have legislation

The Library and the Faculty of Environmental Studies collaborated to make this project possible and jointly funded a co-op position this fall for a student to work on sorting these valuable archives.

here at UW, filled this co-op position. In her work r’eport entitled,

“The Importance of the CCAR Archive Collection to the University of Waterloo,” Heather documents the CCAR organization, activities, goals, and achievements over the ten year span. She believes that the significance of the CCAR is multifaceted. “In a historical context,” Heather believes the collection covers “the most pivotal decade of an important aspect of the environmental movement.” Another significant aspectofthis collection is the “broad range of information that is not often found in one place, including news releases,conference agendas,

government documents, correspondence and texts of speeches by political figures and concerned citizens.” The faculty at UW that will benefit the most from this donation, according to Heather, is the ERS Department: because“ERS courses stressproblem-solving and caseresearch.as an approach to environmental problems.” However she sees the CCAR donation as a valuable resource for research into many other areas as well, such as: ‘the evolving scientific study of acid rain, the Acid Rain Movement of the past decade,...the techniques oflobbying in Canada and in a foreign country, and the logistics of running a coalition of this kind.”

The Canadian Coalition on Acid Rain was the first registered Canadian lobby group in Washington and was so vital in changing legislation that deals with the environment

Heather believes that the “CCAR collection is an ideal case study, as it provides a broad yet highly detailed look at governmental lobbying and a grassroots environmental movement .” Presently the collection has been catalogued for initial processing. A more detailed processing of the material still has to be completed. In the fall of 1995 the coalition’s archives will be open for research in the Doris Lewis Rare Book Room in the Dana Porter Arts Library.

Spiking their way into the rankings

by Patti Imprint

Lenard sports

he news of this week concerning the Warrior Volley ball team is not their recent wins. The wins are no longer news. This week’s news concerns the return of the team into the CIAU volleyball rankings, although they’re only entered at 10th place. Those following volleyball will remember that the team held 9th place for several weeks, and that they were replaced from the standings by the University of Victoria approximately three weeks ago. The university of Victoria continues to be ranked this week, at 7th place. Waterloo has replaced Toronto, the team ranked first in the Eastern Region. ’ More of those overtaken include Matt Reed, who is now 3rd in voIleybal1 leading scorers, after spending several weeks in 2ndplace. Geoff White from McMaster leads the pack, and Steve Ray from Windsor is now in 2nd. Last Wednesday, the team extended their record to 1 l-0, after

winning over Brock. Not surprisingly, the Warriors are the only undefeated team in the OUAA, making them number one within the province. Against Brock, high scorers included both Rene Holt and Al Schroeder, with 15 points, including 13 kills and 2 stuffs for the win. As well, the Warriors participated in a weekend tournament held at Lava1 University. The team captured 2nd place. While their record may not necessarily indicate a need for improvement, head coach of the Warriors acknowledges that the team can always use both practice and improvement. Throughout the season, the Warriors have been concentrating on improving their defence strategies. Practices have focussed on improving this facet of their game. Throughout any game, audience members can hear team members yelling for more defence in an effort to win back the serve. Other aspects of this team’s game, however, are as crisp as ever. Service aces are frequent, and it is

rarely difficult for the team to put the ball away. All Warrior volleyball games are saturated with long stretches of Warrior domination of the serve and an inability for the opposing team to regain it and thus gain some points. It seems that the goal for the team is no longer winning. Rather, the goal is to win as quickly and as definitively as possible. It seems to be an effort to live up to their nickname, the Black Plague. And, it is these characteristics that the Warriors are hoping will carry them to a win in the playoffs. Wednesday, the Warriors travelled to Windsor as they start to wrap up the season. Unfortunately, the Warriors’ perfect record was finally broken, decreasing to a disappointing (althoughstill first place, by far) 1 l- 1. The regular season finishes tonight with a game against Guelph in the PAC, starting at 8: 00 pm. DIVISION SEMI-FINALS WILLBE HELD IN UW’S PAC THIS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, AT 8:OOPM.

ike Moser was a Kinesiology student at UW between 19731975. Within this time, Mike also played for the UW basketball Warriors, becoming one of the most outstanding players to date, and establishing records that are still in existence ten years after his death. These include 24 field goals in a game, set in 1973, and 52 points in a game, also set in 1973. Mike’s sudden death occured while the team was on exhibition in Florida in January of 1975. Mike did not play in any of these games, as he was being treated for what was thought to be a flu virus. An infection developed around the lining of his heart, and this infection eventually proved to be fatal. Despite mouxning the loss of a premier athlete and special friend, the Warrior team went on to win the CJAU Championship in the 1974‘75 season. Mike had also been a member of the Canadian National

Basketball team, and had been looking forward to performing in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. The CIAU recognized Mike’s outstanding contributions to the sport by establishing the Mike Moser Trophy, presented annually to the outstanding player in Canadian university basketball. Mike became the first recipient of the trophy, awarded post-humously in 1975. A Mike Moser Memorial Fund was established here at the University of Waterloo to provide fmancial assistance to third or fourth year students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in both extra-curricular activities and academics. This year’s recipients of the memorial fund were presented their awards at half-time at WednesQay’s Warrior basketball game in the PAC. Congratulations to Nancy Ford and Montserrat Sanzsole who were this year’s recipients.

he Warrior defencemen put on a great show of self-sacrifice and detcrmination this weekend, as Waterloo took on Guelph and Toronto. Their hard work took most of the playoff pressure off of the Warriors and helped move the team two points closer to second place Laurier. Todd Gleason, John Wynne, Geoff Schneider, Greg Allen and Chad Palmer are the main reasons for the Warriors’ success this weekend. With two defencemen already out with injuries (Brian Henry, concussion, and Mark Cardiff, broken bone in foot,) Waterloo also had to take to the ice Friday night without rookie sensation Chad Palmer, who was hurt in practice earlier in the week. That left Gleason, Wynne, Schneider and Allen with a lot of playing time and the enormous task of holding off Guelph, an offensive powerhouse. Heading into the third period, it looked like their amazing work ethic would hold Guelph at bay. After Dean MacDonald scored a brilliant go ahead goal late in the game, it seemed like the Warriors would cruise to their sixth straight victory. However, Guelph had other things in mind. The Gryphons scored three minutes later to tie it up and, just as everyone in the arena was thinking overtime, they scored two quick goals, taking the lead 6-4 and crushing Waterloo’s hope of a win. Despite the loss, the blue-liners played some incredible hockey. With so much ice time, it would have been expected that the guys would tire, but they didn’t. They fought their exhaustion the entire night in a heroic effort. Jeff Goldie, Chris Kraemer, Geoff Schneider and Dean MacDonald had Waterloo’s goals while Mike Chambers, Steve Smith and Dean MacDonald had assists in the losing cause. In Sunday’s match-up with Toronto, the defencemen got a needed lift as Chad Palmer returned to the line-up. However, even with the likes of Palmer, Waterloo had a very tough game on their hands. Toronto washextremely physical from the first face-off. Both teams fought for position in their own ends and the momentum swung back and forth all afternoon. It seemed like either team could break loose at any moment. That’s exactly what happened as Chris Kraemer scored on an amazing break-away. After his goal, the Warriors took control.

Greg Allen had two while Jason Mervyn, Marc Vaughn and Sheldon Gilchrist had Waterloo’s other goals in the 6-2 defeat ofthe Blues. “We had to get a win today,” said Head Coach Don MC Kee after Sunday’s win. “I thought the pressure was really on us in order to come back after the loss the other night. We could have been in a big hoIe with Windsor breathing down our back and real pressure as we go into Ryerson and Laurentian this week. Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot SC we’re not going to have easy games at all. It was really critical that we won today.” The games don’t get any easier next week as the Warriors go head to head with Laurier in the last two games of the season. “All of us enjoy the extra ice time,” said John Wynne after Sunday’s win. “We had four defencemen for the game against Guelph and five today. We’ve been playing like that for a while now. “Both Cardiff and Henry have been out for a while now. You never really get a chance to fade out of the game and sit on the bench and not play. Everybody’s getting a chance to play and everybody’s playing really well. When we get Cardiff and Henry back in the line up we’ll be ready for the playoffs.” The Warriors are hoping that Wynne is right, but they might have to wait a little bit longer. Mark Cardiff has been skating, but doctors say he is still about a week from playing. Brian Henry is still experiencing headaches and symptoms of a severe concussion from the shot he took in the game against Western three weeks ago. Coach McKee describes the hit as one of the most vicious he’s ever seen. “I can see why the guy didn’t get called,” said Henry when asked about the cheap shot in question. “A lot of people wouldn’t have picked up on it. Until you see it on the video and can really see what actually happened. It wouldn’t have looked that dirty to anyone watching.” McKee is keeping that video close at hand in hopes he will be able to show the league soon. The Western player didn’t receive a penalty for the hit. “It was one of the most brutal hits I’ve seen. He (the Western player) did not receive an infraction for it. The referee didn’t see it. Its just sad that he’s playing and Brian’s sitting out 2-3 weeks now. The concussion is still severe and we don’t know when he’ll be back in the line-up.” Better luck next time, Waterloo!

The Athenas belong to the Western However, despite Division. some recent excellent playing on behalf of the Athenas, it does not appear as though they will be participating. Within the past week, the Athenas have triumphed over two teams, both of which beat them earlier in the season. As a result, the team has gone from a three-way tie for sixth place to being the sole team occupying fifth place. They are now only one place short of qualifying for the playoffs. This past week has been evidence of the talent that is available yet not always exhibited. The inconsistency that was so obvious near the beginning of the season seems to be plaguing the team less

often spent this past week looking confident and relaxed during their games, thus accounting for their recent wins. Last Wednesday, they triumphed over Brock in five sets. This win carried them over to last Friday, where they defeated Guelph, once again, in five sets. And, while Guelph is now ranked below Wa-

terloo, Brock is ranked higher and will be participating in the playoffs. Against Guelph, set scores were as follows: 1%15,15-7,5-l& 15-8, and 15-S. It was a particularly cohesive team that emerged victorious. Transition was much improved. Communication between the players was apparent and particularly effective, evidented by their win As with Brock, the team was able to capitalize on the other team’s mistakes and therefore was able to put the ball away more often to gain points. Even their service talents appeared higher than normal. As well, the Athenas defeated Windsor at an away game Wednesday night. Signifying the begining ofplay-offs, this game was their last of the regular season. The match was won in just three sets, with set scores as follows: 1S13, 15-7, and15-8 This win has allowed the Athenas’ play-off chances to remain alive, with quarter- finals taking place this weekend and semis on Tuesday, February 14th.

By Kregg Fordyce special to Imprint aturday February 4th found our UW Track and Field Team at the University of Toronto. After having last weekend off the team was hoping to show their stuff as they took on their regular Ontario rivals as well as a few American schools. Unfortunately, the team has suffered some injuries, setting back quite a few athletes from running never mind competing. Fortunately, this is only half way through our season so people will have time to recover before they have to peak for OWIAA and OUAA competition in about a month. The team left Saturday morning at approximately 7:0Oam, pretty early when- heading to a major competition for the day. The meet started around 1O:OOam and, as usual at the University of Toronto, the meet ran inconsistently throughout the day. Fortunately for the athletes and coaches attending (not to mention spectators), this meet did not take on the usual U of T format, that ensures start times for events are delayed proportionately to how far into the competition they are. For a change the meet ran ahead of schedule, the last five events being run up to an hour before they were supposed to begin, but who’s complaining. The injuries throughout the team kept some people from competing and others from competing to their potential. However, there were a few notable performances that should be recognized. In the sprinting events Val Lingard of our Athena squad ran a personal best in the 60m. A time of

and less as the season its end. Perhaps it has to fact that the pressure into the playoffs is no Whatever the reason,

8.24 seconds in the final was good enough to give veteran Lingard third place in the competition. Cheryl Turner from our distance team also decided to take up sprinting on Saturday, having a personal best in the 3OOm sprint. In the 6OOm the competition was stiff and rookie Brian Horgan was definitely not threatened by it as he ran to a personal best of 1:26.18, almost 2 seconds faster than he’s ever run before. From the Athena squad veteran April Harper ran a strong personal best in the 600m also.

track the ranks of Dillabaugh and Jason Gregoire who all have now met the CIAU standard in three separate races. McKenzie’s race on Saturday was spectacular, Two of Canada’s best were in the race including Canadian Olympian Freddy Williams. Fortunately for Mackenzie the two lead runners went out a little too hard to hold on, each blowing up and leaving the race about three quarters of the way through. Mackenzie, who sat at the back of the pack for the majority of the race, made an amazing come back, kicking not once but twice in the race to put himself into 3rd place with a personal best timeof3154.92, well below CIAU standard. Lastly, the fieId events. Jeff Miller was as usual, excellent in the pole vault, vaulting to 5.00 metres and first place in the competition. However, Miller went to show his skill in yet another event Saturday, the high jump. The 6’4” Miller is a talented athlete and with no event specific training in high jump managed a personal best performance of 1.96 me&es, good enough for a strong 6th place finish. Also in the field rookie Stephan Watson competed to a personal best jump of 1.96 metres, just getting edged out by Miller but fmishing a strong 7th place. The day had it’s ups and its downs and over all it was a mediocre competition for the UW Team. However, today we’re bound for the U.S.A, Cornell to be exact to take on some of that Ivy League Some other Ontario competition.

The 1OOOm found Sarah Dillabaugh as usual, at the front of the pack. She ran a good race, not quite her personal best, but a race none-the-less that gave her second place in the field. From the Warrior squad Paul Sudlow was also running very well with a personal best also in the 1OOOm. Sudlow went un later in the day to run a second personal best in the 4X800 metre relay. Sudlow’s great base work from the cross country season and his dedication to consistent training with coach John Swarbick is starting to pay off, as his times drop and he is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the competition for seats on the 4X800m relay team that will attend CIAU’s this year.

ome and away games, tournaments, practices, off-season training, injuries, rehabilitation, plus exams, midterms, homework, labs, classes, jobs, businesses, family, and friends. Sound like a lot? Well, for some of Waterloo’s Varsity athletes, this is everyday reality. Waterloo’s Warriors and Athenas put in countless hours of hard work in order to play at one of the highest levels of amateur competition in Canada: University Athletics. Their love for sport pushes them to accept the daily grind of balancing training and school work. Yet their efiorts often go unnoticed by the population of this university. They are commonly written off as dumb jocks who are here only to play sports. This stereotype is 100% wrong, Despite the popular misconception, school is a student athlete’s top priority. Just like everyone else, they havk to go to classes and do labs and homework. No one gets a free ride. All over the university, there are athletes who continue to make good grades and work while fighting to remain competitive in their sports. Instead of looking down on athletes as students who do not contribute to the supposed “real” purpose of university, maybe the university as a whole should take a look at how much these athletes do for the school. After all, their success in sports reflects on the image of this university. Sports are a great way to bring people together, whether participating in campus

SPORTS

Athletes: ret, playing on a team, or just being a fan. These events not only increase school spirit at the University of Waterloo, but bring everyone together, a hard thing to do on such a large campus. Following are ten athletes who exemplify this notion of hard-working and dedicated athletes. This is by no means a complete list. There are many more athletes who fit this image who are still out there, simply because to include them all would be impossible in terms of space. Although not everyone can be included, all athletes, whether they are recreational or playing on a varsity team, should be congratulated. Your hard work, dedication and love for sport should never go unappreciated or unnoticed. JASON VAN GEEL LINEBACKER WARRIOR FOOTBALL Jason, a Civil Engineering student, is ranked in the top 15% of his class in this, his first year. Aside from making great grades, Jason is the only rookie to have started every game for the Warriors. His great work ethic and talent were rewarded this year when he was named Waterloo’s rookie of the year. Jason feels that during the football season, he gets his school work done a lot sooner. “You get your stuff done a lot quicker,” says Jason. “You know what you got to do.

You know when you go home you got to do your work and you can’t say ‘well, I’ll watch a couple of hours of T.V. first.“’ “It’s definitely easier to do school work when football is not on because you have so much more time. But, it’s not that big of a difference because with your free time, you tend to spend a lot more time doing other things that just aren’t football.” The 6’2,220 pound product of Catholic Central High SchoQl in London was highly recruited, but decided to come to Waterloo because of the excellent Engineering program. The highly respected defense of the Warriors was an added bonus. Jason definitely encourages anyone who is thinking of trying to balance a sport and school to do it. “I’d just say do it for sure. Even though football was so much work, I’d definitely say that I had just as much fun during the season even with all the hours it took up, as I am now.” Jason will be a key member of the Warriors’ success this season. His talent is incredible and coaches predict that he will be a All-Canadian in the future. 1 I JOSH WINDSOR WINGER WARRIOR RUGBY Josh’s nickname could simply be Superman, as he seems to be able to do it all. The fifth-year History Major is the Treasurer of the Arts Student Union, helps out with orientation week, is an OUAA All-star, and still finds the time to manage a full-time job at a group home through Family and Children Services. “I work with delinquents and other kids who come to the group home,” says Josh. “I put them to bed and make sure they’re settled and asleep. Then I stay there. Around 6:OO am, I wake up, make them breakfast, get them ready for school and then drive them to school.” Josh does this every night from 10 pm to 9 am, Sunday through Thursday. This is an amazing accomplishment for someone who still has to deal with school, a gruelling two and a half month long Rugby season, and the usual grind of university life. “It’s basically just time management. You’ve got to just make sure you know what your priorities are before you take things on. There will be conflicts, but you just have to decide what’s most important.” Josh knows his schedule is tough but he is handling it very well. He enjoys what he is doing and figures it will help him in the future. “This is a good line of work. You really see a lot. Sometimes at university, I think we’re not really in tune with the real world. This experience is helping me see that. It will help because people will know I can handle it.” Josh, who will graduate this summer, plans to go to law school or get his Master’s in Social Work. JODI HAWLEY POINT GUARD ATHENA BASKET. BALL Jodi is one ofthose few students who has seen it from both sides. Last year, as a first year ,4rchitectural student,

she did not play any sports at all, However, this year she has switched her major to Kinesiology and is a key member of the basketball squad. Although her schedule is busier than it was last year, she doesn’t find it hard to deal with. “It’s not easy, but I don’t find it stressful,‘” says Jodi. ‘?‘m doing something I really like to do. It’s really just time management. I make schedules and try to stick to them.” Jodi feels there are a lot of athletes out there doing really well in school. “Just on our team alone, I think that there will be a lot of academic All-Canadians.” She encourages anyone who is thinking about trying to balance school and athletics to do so. “It’s a big commitment, but if you love doing it, just try it and don’t worry. The experiences that you get and the people you meet are wotih it. You have to be ready to work though, but if you want, give it a try.” With all the hard work she and the team have put in over the last few months, Jodi has high hopes for this season. “We are improving. I am very optimistic about the rest of the season because we are getting better every day.” JILL THOMSON SINGLES SKATER FIGURE SKATING For Jill, maintaining that strict balance between school and figure skating is not that difficult; she has been doing it ever since she was four years old. Like a lot of other athletes, she finds it easier to keep up with her school work when she is skating. “If I’m busy with skating, I seem to be more apt to do studying and not put things off.” The Kinesiology student has been skating almost all her life. However, she recently had to take some time off because of a bad knee injury. ‘“I hadn’t skated since the break. It’s hard to sit back and watch, but I recovered quickly and I think that I am doing pretty good now.” Like a real trouper, she came back and won her first event two weekends ago. She hopes to continue these winning ways over the rest of the season. “We had a rough start but we are getting better and improving with every competition. “We were fourth (as a team) at the last one and we hope to be in the top three next time,” As for her fiture, Jill would love to skate with a travelling team like Disney, but realistically thinks that she will become an athletic therapist. “This team has great potential,” says Jill. “I wish them a11 good luck at Finals.” MANU WATSA POINT GUARD WARRIOR BASKETBALL Mano definitely knows basketball. The first year Psychology student from Windsor has been playing basketball for years now, which led him to create his own basketball camp four years ago. “I was going to basketball camps myself over the summer and I wasn’t able to get a summer job,” says Mano as he explains how Watsa Basketball was started. “I needed a job where I could choose my own days. We had good facilities at our house and I had lots of kids already coming over and

SPORTS l

and a whole

playing basketball. 1 was already teaching them on my own spare time. I realized that I probably could do it as a job. “I started with ten kids the first summer and this past summer we had over 100 kids. Hopefully it will be my summer job all the way through university as it grows.” With his work in the summer and his participation in basketball throughout high school, Mano has found a way to balance school with sport. “I am used to balancing school work and basketball. I was always able to pull good marks. In my last couple of years of high school, even though I increased the basketball, I was able to graduate with honours. “It’s just organizing your time right away.” Since Mano wanted to get into Psychology, he knew most universities would have good programs, so he based his decision to come to Waterloo solely on Basketball. “Coach Kieswetter played on the National team in the same position as myself, so I thought I could learn a lot from him.” Mano and the team have definitely learned from Kieswetter; the team is off to an incredible start and is looking forward to the playoffs. Mano is expected to be an Academic All-Canadian by the end of the year. TONY GARLAND DEFENSIVE BACK WARRIOR FOOTBALL Tony describes himself as an average student, but averagej ust seems to down-play what he does. The third-year Geography student and OUAA All-star is a key member of the Warriors defense. His efforts this season helped to give Waterloo one of its most successful seasons in team history. “Some nights arc going to be later than others,” saysTony. “You’re going to be tired some days, But something just keeps you going. “TO me personally, athletics is very important. It makes school a lot more interesting. If you can balance it between the athletics and school than it’s very rewarding being part of a team.” Tony feels playing on a school team wi II help in the future when applying for a job. “When people seeon the resume that WC combined school with athletics, even though our marks were average, I think it’s going to help us in the end because they will know we can balance our time.” Tony realizes trying to balance school and sports is tough, but in the end feels that all the hard work is worth it. “Time management’s important. You’re going to have to work hard, harder than anyone else. I don’t think people realize how hard a student athlete’s life is. There’s times when we’d probably like to go out and have a break but you can’t because you’ve got work to do. Like I said though, it’s rewarding. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here doing it.” Tony will be one of the leaders this season as the Warriors hope to carry on where they left off last year. MARY FRANCIS LAPTHORNE POINT

GUARD

ATHENA BASKETBALL For Mary, basketball has made her work harder at her school.

lot more!

“With sports, you have to manage your time better. It forces you to get it done. So that for games and the playoffs there are no distractions. It prevents you from becoming lazy and lethargic.” And lazy is definitely not what Mary is; the Political Science major is one of the hardest working members ofthe Athenas and is one of the main reasons why the team is doing so well this year. “It’s a constant struggle,” says Mary, referring to the time it takes to balance basketball and her studies. “You just have to prioritize. During exams, it has to be school. But the most important thing is to make sureyou get enough rest and have enough energy. Sleep and eat good food and use all the time you have. There is no time during the seasonto just sit around.” Affectionately know as “Maxie,” Mary is a very intense player for the Athenas and is very happy with the team’s play so far this season. “We are more confident now than before, I think we’re in a pretty good position.” ALICIA STEELE SPRINTER/HURDLER ATHENA TRACK Like most athletes, Alicia feels that being on a team has helped her do better as a student. The third-year Kinesiology student is planning to attend chiropractor college and hopes to one day become a chiropractor. “Its just time management,” saysAlicia, who was a teacher’s assistant last year. “You know what you have to do. If you have a meet on the weekend and something due Monday, youjust have to get it done early. just keep on top of everything. “Before when I wasn’t training for track, I found I would waste a lot more time. Track makes it easier. You just do it, You don’t sit around.” As for now, Alicia wants to continue getting better in track. “I think that track is going pretty good. Since Brent (MC Farlane) has been running it, it has grown quite a bit. I think we are doing really good considering the limited facilities we have.”

GO FAWCETT SLOT BACK WARRIOR FOOTBALL Gord is one of those rare athletes who is able to do it all. Throughout his five years with Warrior football, he ran his own construction business during the summers,and this past year he started up his own metal fabricating business in Brampton. All this, while still going to school and playing football. “It was tough,” says Gord, referring to his hectic schedule. “But I would have hated myself if I hadn’t played my last year ofthe football. I’m really glad I did it, it was really worth the work.”

While I was doing that, I played a lot of pick-up basketball,” saysMatt. “Near the end, people kept saying that I should try out for the team and it got into my head. I went and worked really hard and now its just a continuation of me working hard on basketball.” Matt is working on his second degree, and has the distinct

honour of being the oldest rookie in the league. “It’s probably the biggest challenge I’ve ever had. School has always come easy to me but this basketball is extremely difficult.

talent for the game. The

The star slot back’s successes stretch . about as long as his drive to and from Brampton every day. This past seasonhe was named an AllCanadian, was an OUAA All-Star, and shattered the school’s records for receiving yardage and receptions. He was also team captain, an outstanding leader on special teams and one of the most consistent 0fTensive players all year. These are some outstanding accomplishments for someone who was told he might not play football again. In his last year of high school, Gord blew out his knee and had to sit out his first year of university ball. Recruited asa runnipg back, Gord had to learn a new position and earned a starting spot with the Warriors as a wide-out. Since then, he has only missed one practice and has played in every Warrior game. Aside Tom school, football and a tilltime business, Gord also ran track for two years. “Everyone says it’s difficult to play a varsity sport and do well in school, but if you take the time to do some work its really. not that difficult.” Gord of all people should know. The .i 24 year old graduated this past December 1 with an honours degree in Mathematics i Information Systemsand a Business option i at Laurier. “The biggest thing I can say is that if someone is thinking about playing a varsity sport, be prepared to put in a little more time with school and give up some of the other enjoyments that there are like partying and drinking and going out and having fun.”

Understanding the game takes a lot out of you. I t’s physical 1y exhausting.” Since Matt has experienced university life from both perspectives, he has some words of wisdom for someone who is thinking of balancing school and sports. “The only way you can balance it is if you like it. What’s really made it easy for me is that I really like playing basketball and Psychology. Before in Computer Science I had an average around a 77% but now my average is around a 90%.” Aside from basketball and school, Matt is having a blast as a Don in Village Two. Like Mano, Matt is hoping his first year with the Warriors will be successful. And with these two hard working rookies, the league had better watch out!

Dance Fever

by Patti

Imprint

Lenard staff

Last Sunday, 88 people participated in Campus Ret’s annual Dance for Heart. February is Heart Month, and all over the country, groups are conducting fundraisers to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. This foundation is a community based, volunteer organization that spends all year gathering money to aid in the fight against heart disease and stroke. Matt Feldis, a volunteer for this organization, opened University of Waterloo’s fundraiser with a speech containing some sombre facts. Despite the fact that the rate of death due to heart attack and stroke has declined by 50% over the past 40 years, it continues to be Canada’s leading killer. Last year, for the first time, these diseases surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause ofdeath in women. Mr. Fcldis believes that the success that researchers have is largely due to the work of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. University of Waterloo’s fitness instruc-

tors spent the week preparing for this event: renting equipment, making decorations, finding sponsors and prizes. Eighteen were on hand on Sunday to lead the two-hour aerobathon. Head of the organizing committee for this event was Sally Kemp, Assistant Athletic Director and Coordinator of Campus Recreation. She believes that the benefits of Dance for Heart are two-fold. First, university students have the opportunity to participate and gain recognition for something that directly benefits the community. Second, she believes that the fitness instructors have the opportunity to gain some of the recognition they deserve. By the end of the two hours, $2701 was collected, and over $3000 is expected to be collected in pledges by today. The person who collected the most pledges was Yicki Gabriel, a UW fitness instructor, with an individual total of $237. Thanks goes out to all those who participated.

Nancy Ford 3rd Variation Dance - Carolyn Richardson, Nancy Ford 2nd Senior A Singles - Alison Ritchie 3rd Technical Free Skate - Jill Thomson Qvcrall, the team had a personal best for the season, with every skater performing to their potential! Unfortunately, the Athenas encountered some questionable judging in some of the events, costing UW a medal. Waterloo placed 4th overall, only 6 points behind 2nd place Western. The team received the spirit award from all the other universrtles. The Athenas would like to thank their coaches Carolyn Allwright and Carolyn McNeice for a great season. As well, we wish our two graduating seniors, Carolyn Kichardson and Valorie Miller farewell and good luck in the fi&urc! We will miss you!

Big Sugar The Turret Friday, February

ROCKS

by Elaine &cord Imprint staff

ig Sugar brought their “guitar driven rock ‘n roll” to town last Friday. Band leader Gordie Johnson spoke enthusiastically about the “great crowd,” and the crowd was even more enthusiastic about Big Sugar. Johnson wasn’t kidding when he described Big Sugar’s sound as “LOUD AS HELL.” The show at the Turret was almost loud enough to kill me, but I didn’t even care. It was an excellent concert. The band’s latest release Five Hundred Pounds was singlehandely done by Johnson.Big Sugar is rounded out by Gary Lowe on bass, Kelly Hoppe on harmonica and saxophone, and Stitch Wynston on drums. Someone told me that “Gordie IS Big Sugar,” but this is only true to a certain extent. Johnson is phenomenal, but no one can deny that solid performances were turned in by the rest of the members. Big Sugar has a unique, entertaining style which owes much to the fact that “there are four independent players on stage, and each of us brings something different to the band,” says Gordie. The band is having a great deal of international success, touring outside of Canada for much of 1995. When asked about stardom Gordie responds “Imagine what it would belikeforanyofyou...youshowup at your job and there are people there at your desk yelling at you: ‘Do it! Type! Type!“’ They also anticipate releasing an EP this summer and another full-length album by the end of this year. In 1994, Big Sugar won an Edison Award, which is a prestigious European honour. How is in-

the Turret. ternational success for a Canadian band? Gordie simply states, “Nobody knows we’re acanadian band, and I’m not about to tell them. It’s not a Canadian pride thing or a Canadian shame thing - it’s just immaterial.” Big Sugar has been busy with many proj ects lately, including their contribution ofthe song “When You Dance (I Can Really Love)” for the Neil Young compilation CD entitled Into The Black. The band does not cover a lot of songs. Gordie Johnson said that any song they do cover has to be something he identifies with. Gordie grew up in Windsor, and claims that he “didn’t get music at all at home.” He started playing the guitar and listening to the blues when he was in his early twenties, but had previously played the upright bass for about ten years. “Nobody else can play my guitar - I use heavy, heavy strings that are so hard to push down.. .I don’t use any effects or pedals on stage. That’s not my thing.” He says he learned a lot about how to play guitar by backing up singers and trying to make his playing suitable for their needs. Gordie cites a wide range of musical influences, including acoustic blues, Charlie Patton and Howlin’ Wolf. He also admits to being “a huge reggae and ska fan. Most of what I listen to is that.” He likes “to listen to music that sounds like they have to do it - something beyond that person’s control, or instinctive.” His guitar soloing is all improvised, although he explained that some songs may have a certain structure he adheres to, or works something that compositionally. The result of this work never fails to impress. I had never really listened to Big Sugar before last Friday night, and I found myself wondering why. Overall it was a terrific night of powerful music.

t’s a cold January 3 1st in Toronto. Walking into the Warehouse you embrace the warmth but are not ready for the intense heat about to implode on you. Inside are your typical grungers, dressed in black, plaid, tee’s or anything with a rip or tear in it, all there for what is expected to be a fine night ofmusical entertainment. You know, something to mosh to and tell their friends about the next day. But little do they realize the intcnsity and passion they are about to witness, of three arrogant and choice “stringmen” cemented together by an enthused drummer who knows no boundaries. The opening act was a joke, Some type of Screaming Trees wanna-be-band that starts with the letter ‘K’ (don’t remember because they weren’t worth the effort) who obviously did not belong to this bill. The crowd was equally unimpressed by this heartfelt yet boring attempt to stir the crowd. The crowd made no attempt to try to get enthused. Then, after a quick sound and equipment check, it’happened.. . First on stage was Page Hamilton, front man and leader of Helmet. Following him was the rest of the band, all seemingly clean cut and pleasant. The next-door type

The history cycle is named after a literal translation ofthe Iroquois term, Canada. It consists of eight monstrously satirical plays by diMichael rector/playwright Hollingsworth which follow events in our past from the era of New France through to World War II. Factory Theatre has kindly provided a forum for a reprise of Part 7, The Life and Times of Mackenzie King. It is perfectly in keeping with the production’s credo and form that figures like William Lyon Mackenzie King and R.B. Bennett are not merely lampooned, but pushed right up to the edge of human de-

Mackenzie King’s cartoonishness is often surreally and

kls

supremely funny--we keep laughing at the surprises--but there’s also a genuinely ghoulish streak in these antics. The eight performers have a blast with the pouts, sneers, leers, and eye-rollings required by Hollingsworth’s direction. Each actor gets to play three to ten roles distinguished only by Astrid

Janson’s costumes and their own extreme physical postures and voices. Edward Roy’s animalistic Bennett is very distinct from his conniving Bronfman, which he plays on his knees; Janet Burke, the only woman in the cast, handles four of the seven female roles herself, and never gets stale. As King, Layne Coleman manages to give flat, Forrest Gump-like line readings that peak in tremors of emotion, all without sounding like a bad actor. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of the show is VideoCabaret’s unique black-box staging, developed by Jim Plaxton. The proscenium is framed top and bottom, the set closed off on all sides, and the lighting diffused--the end result an astonishing simulation of film. Hollingsworth’s script has more than 100 lightning-quick scenes, and the actors manage to zip on and off stage in the dark with almost as much alacrity as if an editor had cut from one shot to another. Miraculously, Mackenzie King’s style and politics are all of a piece. Everything from Brent Snyder’s score to the abrupt, crude dialogue are skillful and deliberate, but the whole has a shaggydog feel, as if anyone could criticize their country like this if they tried. It’s theatre in the spirit of the people.

Z~I-J~. Though the film is still entertaining, more character development is needed to strengthen the story line. Colourwise, the director uses red and black throughout. From the titles to the tricolour banners and the basement walls of the bank, they are all soaked in a bloody, vermilion hue. A symbol of life and death, love and hate marks their descent into the black hole of futility and hell. The clothing of Eric, Zoe, and the police is predominantly black, and also portends death. Seen on the main floor ofthe bank is David’s painting, Oath of the Horutii. The male figures in the work represent patriotism, courage, and loyalty, which directly contrast the values of the gang members. All anti-heroes, they oppose the ideas of their state. In terms of music, the film is desperately lacking with only two songs in the entire ninety-six minutes. They do, however, mirror the action and the restless dissatisfaction of Generation X. Possessing a certain edge, some well-known music groups would improve the soundtrack considerably . A trip into the disoriented world of powerless have-nots, Killing Zoe accurately portrays the empty and self-centred outlook possessed by many.

his is the second time that I’ve seen Uisce Beatha (pronounced Ishka-baha) live, and they’ve improved considerably. For those who’ve never heard of them, this Canadian act hails from London but works out of Halifax. They play primarily Celtic music, of Irish decent with definite similarities to fellow Canadians, Spirit of the West and the Mahones, or even to fuIl-bred Irishmen like the Pogues. You either hate this style of music, or love it. I’m of the latter persuasion. For those of you that know them but missed the show, I can tell you that it was unbelievable. For those ofyou who were there, I hope this review does them justice.

The audience was extremely receptive to the Beathas, and sang along to most of the songs. No moshing though, only very hyper dancing- something to be said for the energetic music of the band. An appreciation of Celtic sounds was acquired by the audience from the variety of stringed

Ani DiFranco appearing at Humanities Theatre Saturday, February 11, 1994 6 Princess St. W watdoo 865-2950

They opened with a track from their first album,Mystic c$ the Baja and ended with a cover of “I fought the law.” A variety of songs from both their debut and second albums graced their set. A third album can be expected early this spring.

he days of Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan and the Kingston Trio are long gone yet folk music is not forgotten. Meet one Ani DiFranco, an outspoken whirlwind of energy wrapped up in a tiny little frame. At twenty-three years of age, Ani DiFranco is hardly what you would consider old. Even so, her lyrics suggest a maturity far beyond her years. Combining a unique rebel spirit and a punk D.I.Y. attitude with an acoustic guitar and some finely crafted folk songs, Ani DiFranco could possibly be the future of folk music. The multi-faceted Ani DiFranco is a truly independent artist. Owner of her own indie label Righteous Babe Records, she makes sure that everything is done her own way. Her own writing, producing and publishing are all found on her CD. DiFranco even creates all the artwork for each of her albums. For such a youthful musician DiFranco boasts a back catalogue of six albums, no small accomplishment for a one woman operation. The latest addition to this

catalogue of sharp-edged, witty folk is the critically acclaimed Out Of Range. With more albums out than some artists twice her age, this prolific artist will unquestionably unload a full arsenal of material to satisfy even the largest Ani enthusiasts in attendance. Well noted for a strong stage presence, soul baring vocals, sparse instrumentation and gutsy, in your face lyrics, Ani is a one-of-a kind performer. Her heavily taped fingers will no doubt be strumming away in a full forde fury in each song. This unique combination of skill, heart and raw acoustic power will make this one of the most memorable performances you’ve seen in a long time. Between song banter will no doubt be an abundance of trademark song such as “Blood In The Boardroom.” A forrnidabIe performer who has been captivating audiences all across North America with her blend of acoustic folk music, Ani DiFranco will subtly and not so subtly shake you with her words and her music.

instruments, the harmonica, and the piccolo. To isolate one particular highlight is impossible; there were too many of them. One particular moment may have been with their performance of “Drinkin’ with the Lord,” an all-time favourite. Anyone with Voice of Gze Voyager knows that this song cannot be appreciated until it’s heard live. Another shining moment may have been with the fast paced veision of “the Rod and Reel,” a heartfelt song about the plight-of Canadian fishermen. Their performance of “The Boys Night Out,” a song about the longest drinking-fest ever, was a definite crowd pleaser. “Even Celtic music can be heavy,” introduced the preview to songs on the new album. Uisce Beatha is definitely a band to look for in the future. They come highly recommended for a good night of drinking.

It’s strange how England, the country that produces the very best bands in the world, also listens to some of the shittiest music on the planet. The U.K. charts are rife with cutesy teeny-bop bands whose members are chosen solely for their looks rather than any skills they may possess. None of them write any of their own songs, play any instruments or even sing that well (there is nothing a modern electronic vocalizer can’t do). -However they all seem to love posing for magazines. During last summer, at my job in London, I had the misfortune of hearing Radio One every day. Listening to “The Sign” (Ace of Base) and “Love is all Around” (Wet x 3) 15 times a day gets pretty damn tedious. And yes, in case you are still reading, this long preamble does have somewhat of a point. Kylie Minogue, that sweet twentysomething that the Brits adore more than a good “spotted dick,” is back. I’m aghast to learn that she has had 3 1 number one singles and 128 top ten songs worldwide. She has had three number one albums and two more albums in the top twenty. No small fi-y here boys and girls, Kylie is big and I mean HUGE. Supposedly this new album “marks the date when ” the radical dance diva came of age...” to which we’re to “listen with extreme prejudice.” With this in mind, 1 listened with my ear cocked and my toes ready to tap. Needless to say I got exactly what I expected to hear. Mindless, prozac-laced, fluff, not-even-cool-

enough-for-Fed, drivel. This isn’t her coming of age album, it’s her “copy Madonna’s voice and maybe people will think I’m as COOI as she is” album. Not very impressive. Every song drips of her love and longing and hurt and desire. Inspired titles like “Tf I Was Your Lover,” “Automatic Love” and “Where Has Your Love Gone?” say it all. No lyrics are included because no lyrics arc needed. The fast songs have too much housy-pianos and outdated drum tracks. And the slow songs play like ready-made muzak. Everything is just too slick and overproduced for my taste. Though she worked with numerous producers like the Brothers in Rhythm, the MPeople, and of course the Pet Shop Boys the album is still dross. The one bright point was hearing the last track fade out and feeling my queasy stomach stop chuming. Avoid at all costs. (BTW, spotted dick is a dessert).

The recent trend in film has seen more concentration on the use of the soundtrack to help define the mood of the picture itself. The DemonKnight Soundtrack carries further the philosophy behind previous movie scores, such as Judgemerit Night, to instill in the listener a feeling of what the movie is about before they have even seen it. The songs on this album are similar enough to allow them to gel together, but the diversity is sufficient to make it worthwhile as a compilation. Pantera’s “Cemetery Gates” and “Diadems,” by Megadeth, are power-ballads, but aren’t as cheesy as that form usually takes. “Instant Larry” by the Melvins, and “Policia,” by Sepultura, are good representations of the aggressive speed metal that every horror movie should have. Ministry’s “Tonight We Murder”, a song recorded in 1988, could be fitting only for this movie. It seems that The Cryptkeeper himself is singing it. This album may not be the most flowing compilation of the groups used, but it does present a feeling of what the film Demon Knight is all about. Anyone into the movie should be into this.

The- Hits, isn’t that bad. The biggest seller of all time in country music has put together this compilation of his biggest and best songs from the past five years of his career. Even a non-country music lover is sure to recognize some of these titles: “The ThunRolls,” der “Shameless” (an old Billy Joel “The sow,) River,” “Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old” and of course the huge smash-hit “Friends In Low Places” are just a few of the tracks you’ll find on the extended, 18 song disc. If you enjoy this “new coun-

As a true “country-lover” I can’t say that I’m all for this socalled “new country music,” especially those perpetuated by megastar Garth Brooks. But even being the cynic I am, I must admit that his first greatest hits album, aptly titled

is undoubtedly the reigning champ, then you’re going to love this album. Brooks, who apparently can’t even play the guitar and rarely contributes to the writing of his songs, has still sold over 100 million of his albums worldwide.

As true western singer and Albertan Ian Tyson (one of my favourites) states: “They (the new country artists) try to package their music up, make it real Disneylike...” J tend to agree. Real country music this isn’t. Songs like “Papa Loved Mama,” “The American Honky-Tonk Bar Association” and “Two Of A Kind, Workin’ On A Full House” are good examples of the bland, pointless songs, found on this disc. To me, a song should tell a story -- these don’t. However, Brooks does do a good job with other songs, telling tales of the dangerous rodeo life, a cheating husband who meets his ultimate doom, and of a young boy and his first love with numbers like “Rodeo,” “The Thunder Rolls” and “That Summer.” Songs like these, and the fast catchy lyrics of tunes like “Callin’ Baton Rouge” and “Standing Outside The Fire,” help to save this album from total noncountry acceptance. Brooks’ worldwide status and huge popularity probably mean that if you’re a fan, then you’ve probably already got most ofthese songs. If you don’t, and want to give this “new country” music a shot, then there are enough good songs on T’e Hits to make it worthwhile to listen to.

Kirsty MacColl has been releasing music for 15 years, which was news to mcbecause I, like most North Americans, had never heard much of her before. &lore is a greatest hits package that is hoped to introduce North America to Ms. Ma&o11 in order to promote her brand new release which is scheduled for later this year. Glove only serves as further proof as to why she remains anonymous on this side of the Atlantic. MacColl’s music can be summed up in four letters: D-R-A-B. There is only one song on this album which deserves repeated listenings, “Fairytale ofNew York” which was recorded with, and written by, The Pogues. Nothing else sparks any kind of feeling in me. Kirsty MacColl does have some strengths. She has a very gifted voice and she can easily slip into different musical genres. This album contains some country, some pop,and”TheyDon’tKnow”which

by Natalie Gillis Imprint staff Having seen hHead twice (by coincidence) before becoming familiar with any of their stuff, I was looking forward to hearing this, their long awaited label release. The pride and joy of CFNY, this album is admittedly wimpier than their live act, but I was only slightly disappointed as it is unmistakeably, urn, hHead-ish (ie+ angst-ridden voice that just barely wins out over a wall of guitar, bass, drums, and the occasional bout of feedback). Songs like “Remedial,” “Answers,” and “Love” should live up to the expectations of veteran fans. And of course, there’s “University,”

is reminiscent of the girl groups of the early ‘60’s. She can also mix these styles together in her songwriting. The problem is that she isn’t doing anything really well. The songs aren’t bad but they aren’t good either. Even when she covers other people (as she does five times on this album) the songs are far from memorable. With decent covers of artists like Lou Reed, Billy Bragg, and The Smiths, she offers nothing new to the originals. The Smiths’ Johnny Marr collaborates with MacColl on “Walking Down Madison.” While the song starts out interestingly with the mixing of MacColl’s greatvoice and the hip-hop fIavour of the music it grows old quickly. The worst part being the achingly shitty rap verse at the end which was painfully popular around 1990. At least this track was an attempt to leave the listener with something memorable. Every other song just slides by and you are just left with no feeling at all about the song you just heard. Considering this collection of ho-hum tunes is a ‘best of...’ package I can only wonder what her crappy songs sound like. This album isn’t going to be winning Ma&o11 any new fans.

which should be the anthem of students everywhere. The rest of the album is fairly subdued, however, especially the last half, where the songs just seem to drift into one another. Apparently, 1994 was not a good year for hHead, since the songs are filled with how much love basically sucks. And, lest the boymeets-girl-boy-loses-girl theme get too old, we have “Jerk” and “Stilfborn” to reverse the roles and put a new spin on things. Interesting, but if you’re like me, you won’t notice unless you actually take the time to read the lyrics. Although musically this is a pretty strong effort by an up-andcoming band, I’d have to say that I’m more tempted to study to it than do anything else. Still, they’ve definitely got lots of talent; one can only hope that their next album comes closer to their live sound.

IMPRINT,

not need to elaborate very much about this album, but let me say this - if you claim to be down with hip-hop, and you do not have this record, you really need to ask yourself “Am

I even down with the scene?”

by Edward Richards special to the Imprint The Death Row Records releaseMurder Was The Case is a soundtrack based on a seventeen minute film directed by Dr. Dre. With a well established, all-star cast of west coast heavy-weights, the album exemplifies an intelligent mix of G-funk (“Murder Was smooth The Case,” “ U Better Recognize”), R&B (“One More Day,” “Come When I Call,” ‘LHorny”), and a little dose of soul (“Harvest For The World,” “Woman To Woman.“) Skillful contributors to this compilation include the R&B Princes, Jodeci, newcomer Jewell, Nate Dogg and D.J. Quick. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube join forces in “Natural Born Killers,” conjuring up images 0fpastN.W.A. days. They will also release an album together called Helter Skelter, Overall, this album is nice. Very nice. I am not a genuine supporter of the G-funk style (I honestly think the same beat can only be effcctivcly rcarrangcd so many times). Nevertheless, I was impressed. Definitely a tight package. Everything Is Everything is a product of the East Coast soldiers Brand Nubian. I do

By far their strongest work to date, Brand Nubian came off on the serious tip for this joint. In general, the pace is mellow and controlled, and the album drips wet with crazy amounts of lyrical wisdom and knowledge. Outstanding tracks include “Alladat” (‘just dope, plain and simple), “Return of the Dread,” “Word is Bond,” “Nubian Jam,” and “Hold On.” Pay close attention to how Brand Nubian presents on this record, and explore a new dimension of hip-hop from a crew who truly has it all together. Look what else the cat dragged in kids. The hip-hop clowns of Yo! MTV Raps, and Who’s The Man movie fame, and the hosts of the morning show on New York City’s freshest rap station, Hot 97, have dropped Back Up OffMe! I thought Dr. Dre and Ed Lover would come off as pure jokes on this album, but I was forced to recognize the true skill of the record. A troop of supporters like Erick Sermon, Keith Murray, and Redman add a sweet New York flavour, as does my all-time favorite crew from Jersey -The Lords ofthe Underground. Easily the most superior track, “East Coast Sound” drops the most bass I’ve heard since “Shiftee” by Onyx, and in it, they demonstrate the style that made them lords in the rap game. “Tootin’ on the Hooters” will make ya’ giggle (no offence ladies, but you just really need to hear it to understand), “Who’s the Man” is strong, and “It’s Goin’ Down” is dope. Ed Lover displays his lyrical skill in a fresh fashion in “For the Love of You,” and the rest of the album has a uniqueness all its own. Just keep in mind these guys are rap jesters, so don’t expect to hear a whole lotta wisdom on this record. All right? On that note, I’m out.

The new year is now a month old and finally the labels are starting to release new music again. This is Pond’s second release for SubPop. The label likes to think that this is the band’s breakthrough album. They made sure to include an advertisement for every album released by SubPop upon which Pond’s music appears. Unfortunately their efforts are going to be all for nought. While this album is spectacular and sometimes

The last of the three being particularly bitter, featuring the line ‘Bend my finger back until it feels like the last time I kissed your mouth,’ The song “01’ Blue Hair” is about the loneliness of the ignored, alcoholic and elderly. A great use of metaphor is provided in “Carpenter Ant” to provoke the feelings of those who are destined to be nobodies. The band has started to experiment outside their traditional three piece band. Distorted vocals appear on “Carpenter Ant” and “Artificial Turf.” The catchy “Sundial”(probably the closest thing to a single on the album) has a very interesting harmonica line which is buried deep in the mix. Background vocals are also severely buried on a number There’s a great pianoline which shows up halfway

don’t rise above whole. Without a series of singles to release this album will remain largely ignored by your average music buyer. Pond’s art is the full-length release itself yet it avoids the dreaded ‘concept album’ moniker. These same characteristics marked their solid first album as well. It’s the sequence of songs that sets a single mood or statement instead of a different emotion brought on by each track. As one might guess from the title this is not a happy album. Each song details very negative emotions. It can be summed up in the last line of “Artifcial Turf”: “You and me uncover the real world/ Imperfect and ugly.” The prevailing emotions of the album are loneliness and isolation. Three songs, “Union,” “Patience,” and “Happy Cow Farm

along with a pump organ (I think). This isn’t to say that the band has completely revamped its style a la Sloan. The Beatlesque harmonies still appear, especially in “Mubby’s Theme.” They have focused their guitar noise though. The noise now appears in short spurts instead of droning over whole songs now. It shows a real maturity in their songwriting as they can introduce new instrument parts in the middle of songs instead of sticking with the same riffs the whole way through. I can only foresee one possible, small disappointment with this album. By the time people get around to putting together their best of 1995 lists this might be forgotten, because it was released so early in the year.
