group of about fifteen former and present members of non-profit community radio station CKWR and parent organization Wired World held a protest outside of the Regina Street studios and off~e last Friday, August 26th. They were upset with the organization’s President, Peter Tilkov, who had cancelled an upcoming general meeting of the volunteer organization from this September to December. The demonstration attracted numerous supporters and members of various media. Tilkov had locked the demonstrating members out of the station, while he was inside with police protection. Only support staff vital to that day’s program: ming were allowed into the station. He also forbid, at the police’s suggestion, that there be any on-air mention of the day’s protest to avoid a possibly volatile situation, otherwise the station’s transmission would cease. In the past year CKWR, the first community radio station in Canada, has gone from eight paid staff members to two. Tilkov claims the members left to pursue persopal interests, but the former staffers claim that they were not allowed to execute their jobs and left in frustration. Former General Manager Dan Hart, hired from the University of Toronto’s CIUT, left after his three month trial period was extended for another three months. Hart claims he wasn’t allowed to exercise his duties by the board of directors. Mr. Tilkov claims that Mr. Hart was only the production director and responsible only for the station’s recorded announcements. r Station Vice-President Kim Cowan, the only member of the Board of Directors to take part in the protest, called the other board members “Power Rangers” and would like to see Mr. Tilkov removed from his position, asserting that Mr. Tilkov “blackmailed his way onto the board.” Only

two of the board’s six members were elected, the other four were appointed by the board, without the membership’s approval. On April lst, former board director Danielle Holke called for an election so that the Board of Directors would be comprised of elected officials, but was ignored by other board members who cited a by-law that they had up to 15 months to call an election from the September 1st, 1994 start of the organizations year. Like Tilkov, the other board members are males of eastern European origin. Cowan, however, pointed out that “it is not an ethnic issue,” but more an issue surrounding the alleged actions of Tilkov. Cowan claims that for six months a volunteer application form asked potential members their ethnic origin. Tilkov denies that such a question is on the current application form and denies knowledge of such a question on previous applications. The application also supposedly

asked questions regarding occupation and level of education, items members felt to be inappropriate. Mr. Tilkov also came under attack for the refusal to release a complete list of members names to the membership at large. Former members allege the ethnic origin question was used as a method to determine sides in potential conflicts so that Tilkov would have allies. He was also accused of refusing to buy a 3rd VCR, at a value of $189, that the station needs to fulfil CRTC (Canadian Radio and Television Commission) requirements for providing a logger tape. Cowan says that CKWR has had a history of problems of fulfilling its mandate to properly record all programming on the logger tapes. Tilkov also is accused of unilaterally moving his Macedonian program to a ‘prime time” slot at 9 p.m. Fridays without consent or acknowledgement from other board members or programming staff. The board is

also alleged to have alienated aboriginal programmer Eric Gabriel and the producers of French language programming, leaving the station without such programming and throwing the station’s CRTC approved Promise of Performance into jeopardy. Cowan cited the other board member’s as, “all a bunch of assholes.” Former CKWR Music Director and Public Affairs coordinator Jen Brown claims Tilkov’s intent is to “remove dissidents from CKWR, that is any?ne who does not agree with him, especially gay, native or young people.” She also claims that he was carefill not to make overt statements, but instead couched his terms in veiled references. Brown felt he was inhospitable to any kind of alternative culture. Former Public Affairs coordinator Lisa diFranco swore to “bring the bastard down,” upset over the fact that a general meeting had been put off until later in the year. Since the board controls membership to the organization, many members were concerned that their membership, which is up for renewal at the end of September, may not be renewed b:J the current board. DiFranco was also concerned about alleged antigay and anti-women statements by members of the board, further re-iterating that it is not an ethnic issue but, “ bastards versus the good and holy issue.” Frank Fowlie, former CKWR station manager, was “thoroughly disgusted by the situation” regarding the Board of Directors. He left his paid position at the station December lst, 1994, feeling, “it was time to move on.” He was still involved as a volunteer until he was kicked out by Tilkov. Tilkov is further alleged to have replaced the locks on Fowlie’s former office, changing it to an office for the Board of Directors, and changing the locks on the station’s external doors, thereby denying staff members their own key. Former Program Director Scott Jensen, amember from 1979

the Americanization of our university system, where one system exists for those of limited means, and another for those who are well off, OUSA plans to resist any effort in this direction,” was the statement made by Brock University Student Union President Michael O’Brien. This ‘“Americanization” is presumed to occur gradually as higher quality institutions charge increasingly higher tuitions --

place government grants as the dominant form of university financing. Despite recent cutbacks and tuition hikes, however, less than one quarter of university operating revenue is derived from tuition fees. OUSA also took the opportunity to pitch its plans for an income contingent loan-repayment program (ICRP). It faced a more friendly audience in this case, as the Conservatives are

eyes of opponents 0fICRP. Those with this view, such as the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario Chairperson Heather Bishop, believes such a system not only leads to lifelong debt for graduates ofprograms with lower income potential, but will only lead to higher tuition fees. According to Bishop, ICRPs “are accompanied by higher tuition levels which means increased debt loads for students. The ICRP

Banks to Collect Student , Loans by David Imprint

Drewe stafz

n August 2nd Federal Minister of Human Reb source Development Lloyd Axworthy announced changes to the Canada Student Loan program. Canada Student Loans are administered as part of the OSAP program in On-

tario.

The main change is that the federal government witl no longer guarantee loans. Under this old system, the govemment would pay banks for any loans students didn’t repay themselves. Instead, the government will pay participating banks an annual fee, and the banks will send collection agencies after the students. On the other hand, the grace period students enjoy (the period of time after graduation before which loans come due) will increase from its current level of six months to as much as twenty-four months. Predictably, some student groups were unhappy with the changes. Spokespeople for the Canadian Federation of Students complained that (CFS) Axworthy was beginning the privatization of student loans. Others felt differently, however. Alex Usher, National Director of the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) noted the improvement in the grace period. The Ontario Undergraduate S tudent Alliance (OUSA) which Waterloo undergrads are also members of, believes that, “Although the changes represent modest improvements to the c&rent program, if the government is serious about increasing accessibility it should replace the current program with income-contingency. Until they do that, the students who need money most will be unable to access the money they need to cover the. total costs of their education, and others will graduate with unmanagable debt loads.” Changes to the system occurred in the wake of Axworthy’s social security reform efforts, which drove thousands of students to protest decreased federal funding for post-secondary education on Parliament Hill last year. In Jslnuary

of this

year,

students

from various schools across the country went “on strike” for a day, to protest possible changes. UW did not participate.

Peer Support by Rose Bilicic special to Imprint

o you ever feel like nobody understands, or that nobody is listening? Do you ever need to fmd out course information, but you don’t know who to turn to? Have you ever been in an argument and did not know how to resolve it? Have you ever wanted more information on a sexual issue but you were too embarrassed to ask anyone? Are you a first year student and would Ii ke advice from a senior student? Ifyou answered yes to any one of the above (or similar questions!) we can help. We are the Peer Assistance Links Service, otherwise know as PALS. We are a peer support service that is run by the Federation of Students (Feds) and supported by various groups such as the Feds, Co-op Education, the Office of UW’s Associate Provost, Student Affairs, and Bell Canada. We realize that at times it can be difficult living on a university campus, and we are here for you. We offer peer training, and these students are liere to help you. PALS is an umbrella organization that offers five different services to the students on and off cam-

he provincial government has announced its commiCment to eliminate the fifth year of high school, known as Ontario Academic Credits, or OACs. The idea, put forward in the Progressive Conservative party blueprint on education, was reaffirmed at the end of August by PC

pus. These services include: a peer support phone line, peer mediation, off campus dons, academic support, and health education. These offices are located in the Student Life Centre in area 235 (the Student Services Resource Center). The peer support phone line was created for students that need to talk about anything - “anything!” Don’t ever think that you have a question or problem that cannot be taken care of. Our volunteers are trained in crisis intervention, problem solving techniques as well as offering support and helping in any way possible. We also use the phone line as a link to the other services offered through PALS. If you would like information on any ofthe above semices, you can call our phone line at 888-4860. If you are out of town, you can call us at l-800-704PALS (our dime). We are open seven days a week from 6pm until 12am. If you need to speak to us outside of the phone line hours, we also offer a one-on-one drop-in service at our office, or you can leave us a message on our voice mail. Peer Academic Support Services is a service we offer through PALS, that is great for students withquestions they may have about anything academically-related;

plan. “It is not in a readiness,” said one official in the ministry, “NO decision is imminent.” The education community is taking a wait-and-see approach to the proposal. “It’s an idea that needs to be looked at,” suggested Kalbfleisch, “It’s too early to say what the impact will be.” There are concerns being expressed about some ofthe projected impacts ofphasing out OACs. “It’s

course information, professor disputes, study skills etc. Peer Health Education is another branch of PALS. It is a great resource for any health subjects. Some of our f?uture projects include Healthy Sex Week, Walk for AIDS, and educational seminars to various groups across campus. Pals Off Campus Dons is a service primarily for first year students that do not live in residence. Groups of first year students are matched up with an upper year student that lives in the same neighborhood. They work together to understand the unique situation they are faced with as first year students. Peer Mediation is exactly what it says: peers helping mediate other peers’ situations! This is a valuable service when dealing with roommates, fiends, and the other millions of personalities you will be encountering throughout your university experience! We can act as a mediator, or we can assist you with your own mediation skills. We are here for you! Please do not hesitate to give us a call or drop by our offices. if you are interested in volunteering for any of our services, just give Rose Bilicic a call at 888-4567, ext. 3780, or drop by the Feds office in the Student Life Centre, Room 110.

n the middle of August the Federation of Students OffIce of Academic Affairs hostedthe Canadian Academic Roundtable ‘(CART), a national conference of student leadersresponsible for dealing with academic issues. Delegates arrived fLom as far away as St. John’s, Newfoundland and Calgary, Alberta. Presentations were made by delegates themselves, as well as by guest speakers such as John Furedy II a faculty member from the University of Toronto who chairs a national group concerned with Academic Freedom. Topics here included university governance, program rationalization, and academic appeals. Andrew Boggs, Academic Commissioner for the Queen’s University Alma Mater Society thought the conference was a success; “Really the way discussions were set up was beneficial to delegates, as we were able to set direction to suit our needs, rather than follow a rigidly structured agenda.” University of Calgary’s Vice Presi-

dent Academic Janine Fernandes concurred, noting that, “a lot of the sessions focussed on specific services at various schools; and it would be hard to automatically plug these in to our own schools because of the obvious differences, but some of the system issues which were discussed, such as rationalization and harassment, were absolutely amazing.” Boggs was particularly influenced by the session on intellectual property, as that was an issue he hadn’t previously considered. The session was led by UW alumnus Kevin Erler, who is currently suing Professor Li Deng for stealing intellectual property. Boggs noted that the session on university-govemment relations was also quite interesting, because it “brought out how closely tied internal and external

academic concerns are.” Xander LeRoy, Federation of Students Senior Academic Affairs Officer organized the conference. Previous CARTS have been held at Carleton University and the University of New Brunswick St. John campus. The next conference is scheduled to be held after Christmas.

” I see it happening within the next three years.” - Czarniecki Education Minister John Snobelen. Ontario is the last province in Canada to still offer a fifth year level in its secondary schools. The proposal to follow the rest of Canada and eliminate that level is not new, it has been tabled and examined by provincial governments for going on ten years. Individuals in the education community, however, feel that the Mike Harris’ PCs may be the ones to finally bring it about. “It’s hard to say,” commented Jim Kalbfleisch, UW Vice President Academic and Provost, “I think they’ll take a serious look at it.” Karol Czamiecki, President of the Waterloo Region offlice of the Ontario English Catholic Teacher’s Association (OECTA) was more sure. “1 don’t believe it’s a question of if, it’s a question of what their schedule will be,” he stated, “ I see it happening within the next three years.” The Ministry of Education asserts that nothing is definite as of yet. There is no set schedule or

hard to believe that they could give the same quality in four years as they give in five,” Kalbfleisch argued. Czarniecki remained more positive. “In an analysis of the present situation, I think students could complete the requirements in four years.” Both Kalbfleisch’ and Czamiecki noted that eliminating OACs would involve a major reworking of curriculums, both at the high school and at the first-year university levels. Both men also expressed some concerns about the doubled size in first-year enrolments that would occur during the first year that the plan is implemented, as Grade 12 students and the last OACs all seek to enrol at once. In his position as President of OECTA, a teacher’s union, Czamiecki is also concerned about the effect that axing a whole year of high school will have on teaching positions.

t is my pleasure to welcome everyone to a new term at the University of Waterloo. I am sure that this term, when you paid your fees, you noticed the $23.55 across from ‘Fed Fee’. You should have asked yourself: ‘where is this money going?... what do the Feds do for me?...how can I be as cool as Mike?...’ (don’t deny it, I know you think it). The answers ,to these, and many other commonly asked questions, can be found in the new Student Life Centre. The best way to find these answers is to s&rt on the bottom floor and work your way UP* The retail area of the SLC is home to many of the Federation owned and operated businesses (this means you paid for it). It won’t take long for you to realise, that if you are a co-op student, your r&sum6 is your life! You should definitely check out the new and improved Copy Plus. It’s our full service copy centre and a photocopying dream (yes, 1 dream about copies). It has everything you will need for work reports, essays, projects or everything else that makes university the fun place that it is. The Used Bookstore has the all of the texts you need, pre-owned by other students, and sold for far less than if you had to buy them new. At the end of your term, bring these books back and we will sell them to some other yardsale type and give you most of the profit (can you say 85%?). And it’s legal, really. The Campus Shop provides all of the necessary gift ideas for those well thought out Holiday presents. Trust me, your friends and loved ones will love things that say UW

Although it may be a small consolation to some that all money collected from citations is directed towards scholarships, getting ticketed or towed is nonetheless a hassle for students. With the fall semester arriving, new drivers will arrive on campus, and will undoubtedly be overwhelmed by the mass

can get BUSTED of paper they are expected to memorize. What follows are a few quick hints to avoid trouble with your vehicle on campus. First of all, the speed limit on campus is only 40 km/hour. Think of campus as one huge school zone. The fine for speeding is $25, plus an additional dollar for every kilometre you’re travelling above the speed limit. Additionally, if you are really speeding, you could be eligible for a $100 ticket for “Driving without due care and attention.” Secondly, no matter what parking passes your car may have on the windshield (and all decals must be affixed to the windshield), you can-

not park on Ring Road, or in any other place not specifically marked as a parting area. The fine for parking in an inappropriate area is $25, and you may also get towed, which would cost you an additional $40. It gets expensive to park illegally, so don’t. The most popular places for towing on campusare the PAC patio (where you may only park at designated meters), the Math & Computer Building Service Road, and on Ring Road in front of Needles Hall. The message here? If you want to get towed, park in one of those places and wait about ten Please see Parking

formation Systems Project to talk about eficiency and ef3rectiveness of service debvery to students. I want to emphasize the need for “quality services” to students, by presenting a seminar to all of the Feds business and service managers, as well as employees, on the topic of customer service. One of my top priorities for this year is to consolidate the services that fall under the VPUA portfolio. These services are PALS, Bacchus, and the Foodbank. I was very lucky to find excellent coordinators for all ofthese services.Some of the services had never operated in the spring term in the past, however we decided that there was a need to run them every term. It gave everyone the chance to get settled into the new student services space and prepare for the fall term. Everyone keepsasking me “So, are you ready for September?” It startedto freak me out and make me nervous because I can’t believe that the spring term is over already. But yes, I am ready. I am here, and I am enjoying and anticipating the new faces that will be walking through the Fed office in the next few weeks. If you are interested in coordinating, volunteering or if you have any ideas, suggestions or concerns, come visit the office and we’ll chat! -Rose Bilicic, Vice-President, Universi~ Affuirs

summer?

I could hardly wait to move into the office and get things going for the spring term. I had so many ideas in my head., but the first thing I had to do was clean up the office and tie-up loose ends. Oh yeah, and I put up some nifty posters. Before I startedanything, I wanted to read all of the past files that were in the offIce, so I could prepare myself. I found out all too soon that a great part of my job entailed going to committee meeting a&r committee meeting. To give you a quick overview.. . I am the student representative for committees such as the Presidential Commission on Institutional Planning, Personal Safety, Advisory Council on Academic Human Resources,and about fifteen million more! ! ! Another significant part of my summer term was spent at conferences. The conferences were great because they gave me a chance to network with universities and colleges from all across Canada, and do some information sharing. I picked up some really cool ideas such as a “volunteer incentive awards program,” that I will be initiating this term. I made some promises during campaigning and I am working to fulfill them all. I attended society council meetings to let them know that we are here for them, and we want to hear their concerns. I am also working with the Environmental Wqste Manager on campusto do a poster audit. This will determine paper wastage, due to poster runs on campus. I have also met with Dave Mason

This may be hard to believe, but the Operations and Finance game isn’t all glitz and glamour. I know what you’re thinking, “How can financial statements and budget line items not be a thrill a minute?” Don’t worry, I thought the same things. Man, was I wrong? Seriously, this summer hasn’t

beenallbad. We’ve been challenged with getting our businesses ready to serve the UW community for what should be a very exciting fall. Many of our operations are in new locations and have expanded services (see Mike’s SLC Propaganda Machine) . The service coordinators have been busy setting up the offIces for the Legal Resource/Landlord -Tenant Information Office, the Student Part-Time and Volunteer Employment Centre, and the Gay and Lesbian Liberation Organization of Waterloo (GLLOW). These are all located in the Student Services Resource Centre in the SLC.

nterested in going abroad? Wondering where to go? Well, don’t look any further, there are plenty of opportunities right here at UW. The possibilities are endless: studying, working, volunteering, courses, athletics or just travelling. “But my faculty doesn’t offer any programs! ,” you might be thinking. Well, think again. All faculties offer some type of study or co-op program abroad. Some also offer a range of short term courses or tours. Students from all faculties are welcome to participate in the Continuing Edtication Department’s travel programs for credit or non-credit. Last year’s program took participants to China and Italy!

of Waterloo some of these international opportunities are open to members of other faculties. Consult the Undergraduate advisor for details. RESOURCES: So where do you start looking? Undergraduate Advisors can be a good source of information, but they are often not aware of all of the international opportunities available. The University is currently reviewing the possibility of opening an International Centre, which would help to centralize all the data on international opportunities, but, in the mean time, the Career Resource Centre (CRC) in Needles Hall, Room 1115 is probably your best bet. At the CRC you will fmd a set of “Info files” containing data on almost all university run intemational opportunities as we31 as courses, volunteering and travelling abroad. For a quick overview, pick up a copy of their “So, You Want to Work Abroad” handout that lists the six steps to success for working abroad and gives a general bibliography of the resources available. Sojourns, a computer database containing a list of international jobs, internships and volunteer positions is also available at the CRC. Another excellent &source is the UW Alumni Affairs Offlice. Students interested in going to a particular country can contact the office and ask them to have alumni get in touch with you. Alumni can help students find jobs and study opportunities in the country they live in or simply be used as con-

tacts. F~EQUIREMENTS~ For most programs you must have at least a second year standing, an overall average of at least 70% and a basic knowledge of a foreign language (where applicable). FINANCING: Students who are eligible for OSAP in Ontario still quali@ to receive it abroad on most exchanges. If not, some scholarships are available. Students can almost always pick up a bit of extra spending money by working parttime when on an exchange, for example by tutoring people in English. The Federation of Students will sponsor students going to a conference abroad if they can show its relevance to UW and UW students. By being aware of international opportunities in your firstyear, you can start gearing you course selection towards that program, This might involve taking a few language and/or culture courses or completing two co-op terms in a row, so that you may stay abroad for 8-l 2 months consecutively, without missing a work term. Even if you don’t figure out that you want to go abroad until your 3rd or 4th year, the experience is well worth sticking around for an extra term or two in the end So, what are you waiting for? Now that you know where to find information on international opportunities and, more importantly, ways to finance it, don’t sit around for three . _ years thinking about it - make it happen!

the K-W community. For example, banks, pharmacies, the Housing Office, Health Services,

libraries, the Math Tutorial Centre, the Writing Clinic, and the PAC. Other things Shadows can assist with are: showing how to use the transit system, where to shop for appropriate winter clothing, helping select food items, etc. at supermarkets and specialty food stores, and explaining the denominations of Canadian currency. Most importantly, Shadows offer support and friendship. By volunteering, a Shadow can attain a global perspective. It is an excellent opportunity for cross-cultural exchange, to learn about one another and the world in which we live.

he International Student Of fice is recruiting Shadow volunteers for new international students arriving on campus for the fall term. The acronym SHADOW stands for Student Hosts and Designates of Waterloo. The program works by pairing up Shadows with international students on a one-to one basis, helping them through the transitional period during the first month at the University of Waterloo. Acting as resource persons and cultural interpreters, Shadows help international students locate services and facilities on campus and

efit by learning about the host country’s culture and language skills before departing Canada. Often, life-long friendships result from these mutual exchanges. The International Student Office is looking for responsible individuals with good communication and interpersonal skills, concern for others, and who are familiar with the UW campus and the local community. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete an application form available at the International Student Office, NH 2080 and the Turnkey Desk. For more information, call Darlene Ryan, ext. 28 14.

Sexy

by Kieran Green Imprht staff

illed as the “Highlight of Frosh Week,” UW’s acclaimed show Single and Sexy is ready to go for its seventh season. Single andSexy is a theatrical perfarmance that gives new students a look at some of the issues they may have to deal with in their new environment. The show introduces the audience to a cast of seven students - all f&h - and then lets the audience watch as they must deal with real-life situations that fiosh may well find themselves in+ The issues that the characters deal with include sexual harassment and assault, homophobia, sexually transmitted diseases, alcohol abuse, stalking, being away from home for the first time, residence life and living with different types of people, and relationships in general. According to Denise Angove, producer of this year’s SitzgZe and Sexy, the show does not oFfer resolutions to the situations, but seeks only to present them in a factual manner. The show also helps new stu-

Students going on’ exchange and study abroad programs can ben-,

dents by identifying the resources and help centres that are available to students. While the cast changes every year, the text of the show remains much the same because, as Angove puts it, “the issues don’t change.” This doesn’t mean that each year the shows are exactly the same. “Each new cast member brings something of themselves to the show,” points out Angove. Single and Sexy has found con-

siderable popularity among students in past years. This is partly due to the strong element ofhumour which the script injects into the various situations, According to Angove, the show also gets its message across because it is “Students speaking to students, not at them.” SingZe and Sexy is also becoming popular with students’ parents as well, This will be the third year that the show has been performed for a parental audience. Praise for Single and Sexy has come in from outside the university community. Universities across Ontario have taken the show and adapted it to their own campuses. The show has even been copied at universities as far away as Australia and New Zealand. Singie and Sexy will appear at the Theatre of the Arts in the Modem Languages building on; Friday, Sept. 1,l: 15 p.m.,Monday, Sept. 4, 2 p*m., Tuesday, Sept. 5, lo:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4:30 p.m., and Thursday, Sept. 7 at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. The show will also be performed at Wilfiid Laurier University’s Auditorium on Wednesday, Sept. 6, at lo:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

for

by Kelli Byers special to Imprint by Tricia Mumby spechl to Imprint Well, HELLO! Don’t bother even trying to deny it! Whether you are old or new, you can’t tell me that you don’t smell the excitement in the air! As if fall isn’t the most exciting time to be on a university campus. Well, I love it, and if you don’t already .. . you will! There are so many amazing things going on in the fall. The first, most wonderful, most obvious, and most celebrated thing is, of course, FRESH WEEK! ! ! Enjoy. This is when you will first really experience how wonderful UW is. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, or where you intend to go in the future .. . frosh week will make you realize that you are not alone. This, being your first exposure to the FEDBACK, will attempt to not be a crazy Fed Awareness type thing. I hope that by now you will have realized who the Feds are, or will by the end of the week. I (Mumby), am just here to spew the fun stuff regarding the Feds! ! ! * First and foremost, there are approximately three hundred and eleven thousand two hundred and thirty one volunteer positions to fill (be forewarned...1 have been known to exaggerate). Amongst these are some amazing acting opportunities, such

as the Town Crier, some marketing stints, such as the Publicity commissioner, Peer Helpers, Academic Surveyors, Special Events Organizers and assistants, and many more positions that guarantee merriment and jest! I know from experience that if you were really involved in your high school student government, you may be thinking “well, university student government must be a really big deal, and I don’t think I am ready for that.. .” Weil, the Federation of Students ti a big deal, but you are the Federation of Students, and I‘don’t even know how to express: DON’T BE SHY! ! ! Drop by the Fed office, and I can almost guarantee we can find a political, university, student, or issue related thing that you might be interested in becoving involved with. My closing blurb is specific to my position. A large portion ofwhat I do is help out the Clubs and Student Societies on campus. lfyou have any questions about clubs or societies, contact me. I would also like to announce the first Clubs Meeting on Monday September l lth at 5:OO in the Elvis Room, Fed Hall. Also, the first Committee of Presidents Meeting for Society & Residence Councils, will be held on Tuesday September l2th, in the Elvis Room of Fed Hall. See you all then! ! !

until 1992, noted that the station has had similar problems occurring about every four years during CKWR’s 20 plus years of operation. Previous problems with religious programming in the late 80’s and a conservative anti-abortion group tried to take control of the stations programming, but were derailed through use of the stations by-laws. As an outsider he says the station operated smoothly until a vocal group of ethnic programmers “focused strictly on the financial aspect of the station.” Jensen felt the board were not talking to the members and taking “a narrow minded approach.” He believes current station by-laws need to be tightened to avoid “take-avers (which are) a big waste of everyone’s time and energy, which could be put to better use.” The bitter hostilities appear to be far from over.

Did you know that “Big” Bertha Faye is the new World Wrestling Federation womens champion, or that biologists are attemping to use bacteria to break down petroleum-based contaminants? Were you in any respect aware that Morbid Angel aren’t Satanists,as is commonly presumed, but actually believers in the Ancient Ones, (more accurately described as “ancient Sumerian demons vastly different from Satanism”)? The typically jaded and cynical response from the average secondyear student is probably something along the lines of a blanket “Who cares?,” but since this is addressed to the incoming Frosh (btw/ welcome to Waterloo, hope your stay’s a good one, try to keep out of trouble, etc., etc.), I’m anticipating some of you will still retain some good old fashioned curiosity and enthusiasm. You see, l’m looking for volunteers, and all kinds of them at that. Right wingers, communists, jocks, metalheads, computer geniuses, photographers, poets, you name it... Of course, you don’t have to be any of thesejust yet, we can help you along and get you there later. Imprint is the University of Waterloo student newspaper, it’s by the students and for the students, which means we run stuff like women’s wrestling and heavy metal interviews, and we’d desperately love you to volunteer. I cannot, as I hope you’ll trust, repeat this enough. It’s a common practice here every November to publish readers surveys to find out what the students think, and sit back for the rantage. It’s not all bad, mercifully, but without fail we’re sure to receive a few hackneyed criticisms surfacing over and over: Imprint doesn’t cover enough (#U in the blank) . .. The writing is too exclusionary and not mainstream enough (see the top paragraph) . . . or (and this is a goodie) The paper doesn’t reflect the students . .. The criticisms are often hostile and stinging, but we take them to heart, and then sigh. Let’s take, for instance, a specific variation on the first gripe, one voiced on numerous . occasions -- Imprint doesn’t review enough rap or hip hop records. - It’s a valid complaint, but how are we supposed to rectify this? Am I expected to review hip hop records myself or assign them auf to others who’re equally as ignorant of the genre? That would be a grave disservice to readers and an insult to fans. You can bet-the farm we’d then be criticized for being idiots (and we get bombarded with that too!) Solution: Hip hop fans, come on down. The same goes for anybody else, because we hear the same things about our coverage of sports and campus events, as though Imprint’s volunteers, who have classesto attend and credits to fulfill just like evexybody else on campus, are miraculously expected to be everywhere at all times ,and be everything to everybody. It’s simply not feasible. I repeat -We need you! Our first staff meeting, open to everybody, is scheduled for Friday, September 15th at 1230 p.m. in the Student Life Centre, room 140. Short of that, you can come down and visit us any time during regular business hours. Enjoy your stay and keep reading. We’ll strive to offer you the best, er, ‘cjoumalism” we can, even if it means sometimes stooping to cover things. like WWF womens wrestling. --&we

CFS Still .W

ith the federal government’s recent loan program changes, students had a chance to take the high road. Predictably, some groups representing students did, while others fell flat on’their face. The University of Waterloo Federation of Students just this summer joined the new national student movement -- the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, or CASA. This came a couple years after withdrawing from the Canadian Federation of Students,or CFS. I think the current differences between the two groups best illustrates why Waterloo made the right decision. The changes, in a nutshell, extend the grace period on loans to as much as twentyfour months after graduation, a 400056improvement, but more significantly, empower the banks to usecollection agencies to collect on defaulted loans,.rather than have the federal government guarantee them. CA$A’s reaction was reserved and, admittedly, a bit wishy-washy. CASA’s national director noted that the changes removed “some of the more egregious probz lems” with the system, He declined to condemn the Federal Government for ending loan guarantees. CFS had no such*qualms. They labelled the changes an attack on the university SYStern. Apparently, according to CFS logic (right up there with military intelligence), students actually being expected to repay loans is a threat to the system. Hmmmmmmmm. Right. The Oxford Encyclopedic Fnglish Dictionary defines “loan” as follows: ban -- something lent, esp. a sum of money to be returned normally with interest.

Grants haven’t been available in Canada

Sucks

for quite ‘a few years. what is so horrible about the idea of studentspaying back their loans? I’m a student, I’ve collected CSLs, I plan to repay my loans. Is this abnormal? I don’t think so. Nobody likes to have things made more expensive -- unless you’re selling them, of course. But the point remains: a loan is a loan, it should be repayed. Default rates are high right now because the government guarantees loans. Banks make a minimal attempt at collection from graduates, then collect the full amount from the government. Until recently, the govemment never bothered to attempt collecting these defaulted amounts. Now that they are making this effort, government is finding itself utterly unsuited to the taskof collecting. The expenses involved in collection for a bureaucracy like the government are prohibitive. The government could therefore either write these loans off forever, or make the arrangement they have: to allow those suited for collection to make collections. What’s the problem? The mentality it takes to view these changesas negative requires that you have no intention of repaying your loan. Such an attitude is not only childish and self-serving, it’s stupid. You either have no idea what the

that university students are upset because actually have to repay the loans that they signed a contract to repay. Would you have sympathy? OUSA and CASA are both advocate an income-contingent loan repayment program, which would guarantee that graduates never need worry about back-breaking debtloads. CFS, on the other hand, has its plan to guarantee accessibility. They advocate zero-tuition, a guaranteed annual income for students, and’guaranteed accessto any and all programs regardless of qualification. This would be paid for through an 8% minimum corporate tax. The CFS plan sounds nice for students, but is unrealistic to the point where its moronic to advocate. Undoubtedly its rigid adherence to this nirvana asa goal is one of the reasonsits membership has declined over the past few years such that it is now, by virtue of its membership numbers, only a marginal organization, living off its glory days in the seventiesand eighties. CFS’s only goal right now must be coddling its more iconoclastic members, and its arriving at the expense of potential members and public image. OUSA and CASA face a much more difficult goal: effecting positive change for students. This requires studentsto acknowl-

Morgardee criticised my review on the grounds that it was biased. I suppose the fact that Pablum was o,ne of the opening acts that night leaves Morgardee completely unbiased, especially when I called their music “shit.” He also criticized me for failing to mention that Pablum “all but sold out ofmerchandise that night.” My God!! They all but sold out! That’s front .page news if I ever heard it. Maybe it% just me, but when I’ve never heard of an opening band and then I think they are shit, 1 usually don’t go over to their table and ask them how the merchandise is going. One legitimate critique was my failure to discuss the new line up for the Day Glo’s. Despite my best efforts, I did not manage to get my hands on a copy OfLittle Man in the Cuno~ (so that I could confirm all the changes) until after Imprint’s press deadline. So for my article, I regrettably had to leave out that

information.

Morgardee ends his letter saying “it’s becauseof people like Mr. Russell that Canadian music is finding it so hard to get anywhere.” I’m

flattered that Morgardee thinks myself and morons like myself can hdld back an entire nation-of musicians, but I think he is wrong. I support lots of good Canadian indie bands, it’s just that Pablum isn’t amongst them. -James Russell

Three Simple Questions To the Editor, In the last issue of Imprint ran a story about the student activists who were fined $105 apiece for failing to have bells, horns, or other “sounding devices” on their bicycles (“Police take hard line on critical massing,” July 29th). I’ve since read in a front-page story in the Kitchener- Wuterloo Record that a similar charge has been levied against a 65 year old Kitchener pensioner the same offense.

Imposing stiff penalties on them is generally not a good way to get anybody to respect the letter of the law, especially ones so morally repugnant and intrusive as these, Secondly, if “sounding devices” are legally mandatory in the province of Ontario, then why must this burden be demanded of cyclists to provide them and not bitiycle manufacturers

A * Displeased Cuhtomer To the Editor, I know many studentsdeal with CIBC becauseit hasa monopolyon campus but I would strongly urge student to reconsider this option. When I first arrived in Waterloo I had to go to a bank to ‘hegotiate” my loan. I went to the “Loan Center” at the comer of Phillip and Columbia. However, before being able to get my loan, I was told that I had to get an account with CIBC and then they gave me a Visa card too. I should have said “NO.” LOAN: Last term my Mom in Vancouver received a letter from CIBC saying that I had to start paying interest on my loan, But, I had handed in my “Schedule 2” form and I even had the pink receipts as proof. Unfortunately, CIBC got rid of the loan center at Phillip & Columbia and so I couldn’t discuss this with a live person. I called the “Student Loan Center” and talked to someone and explained the situation. They said”Don’t worry” and so 1 didn’t. Then I gotanother letter with

the endless boring cycle of constitutional crap this summer, but the . reality is that these gangs have, in one respect or another, been at war with one another for quite awhile. Which brings me to the purpose of this letter, the scarcity of hashish this past year. Sting operations by the feds have put the screws to Canada’s main hash suppliers (presumably the bikers) and this has created a more intense competition between the rival motorcycle clubs. These gangs’ stake in our country’s hash-

ish supply and distribution, particularly in the Montreal-Toronto conidor, is supposedly substantial. Sadly, “expert” commentaries on CBC and in 7be Sun spew forth embarrassingly limp solutions by demanding increased surveillance ed detention of suspects. Don’t suchmeasuresof sweeping incarceration violate civil rights? At best they don’t harness a thing. The consequence is always decreasedsupply and increased demand for hashish. Ultimately, it meanswar. War between the gangs, and war between authorities and our civil

rights.

Obviously, asa smoker, I am a concerned interest too. Cannabis, (which is what hash is), needs to be decriminalized, if not altogether legalized. Cannabis will not go away. Cannabis is harmless, a threat only to huge alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical conglomerates and interests. Responsible adults , including myself, use the stuff all the time and they are by no means “criminals.” Decriminalization or legalization would remove the societal threat from all these careless selfinterests, sanctioned drug-peddling corporatesand bike gangsboth.

side the bounds of political correctness. It was a refreshing change. Writing like this is hard to come by in this country of levelheaded, inoffensive arguments, but you can find some of it on or around campus. The ViZZuge Voice is sold at the campus bookstore, and you can probably find The Specfutor at that used bookstore in the University plaza, along with all other sorts of interesting rags to read. Music magazines (such as Spin), including the free ones (idand others) that are around the Campus Center, er, Student Life Center, are another great source of views (about more than just music) from off the beaten path. While I don’t buy everything the socalled alternative culture says, it is interesting to read and to know what people other than the writers for The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star and (gulp!) the Toronto Sun are thinking. You don’t have to agree with everything you read. You just have to be exposed to it. Keep in mind that the publications mentioned here barely scratch the surface of what is out there. This is also wherecampus newspapers come in (hint, hint, nudge, nudge). They don’t have to be politically correct either. They can be bitter, sarcastic, rude, profane, coy, and when all else fails,even intelligent at times. This paper does not have the reputation of The Globe and Mail, nor the following of The Vikge Voice, but it does have thousands of readers and it does have volunteers. Moreover, both its readers and its volunteers are university students. That definitely counts for something.

The past couple of weeks of vacation between school terms have been great. Nothing to do. Nothing. I have so much nothing to do I am busy doing nothing. However, I fmd myself slipping into an apathetic frame of mind as I lounge around, waking up around noon and watching a ridiculous amount of television. This apathy is hard to shed, even when you get back to school. Fortunately, reading helps combat this apathy as much as television creates it. I was reading a copy of The Spectator for the first time on the holidays and after having read just one issue, I fell in love with the magazine. It’s a British current affairs magazine, but it’s not dry like The Economist. In the first article I read, the first paragraph even, the writer referred to the French as “frogs.” Wow. Right then and there i knew it was not a Canadian publication. Can you imagine what would happen if, in the increasingly heated Quebec sovereignty debate, a writer from one of the nation’s major newspapers referred to Parizeau, Bouchard, Dumont or even Quebeckers in general as “frogs?’ Three words: War Measures Act. I’ll bet that right now editors everywhere in the country are checking every political piece for references of an amphibious nature. While I do not applaud the prejudice inherent in this remark, I do commend the writer for being unafraid to say what he thought. At least you know where he is coming from. In fact, the rest of the article was quite rational and made some very intelligent arguments. This was writing out-

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY khCTERiAbiodEc+wdEsWATER UWNWVdUtWUi of Waterloo environmental A University microbiologist., Barbara Butler, is interested in using bacteria to clean up chemical pollution of groundwater systems. Bacteria can break down petroleum-based contaminants such as benzene and toluene, from gasoline spiJls or leakages, to carbon dioxide and water. Butler, a research associate and adjunct assistant professor in biology, has also looked into the role of bacteria in cleaning up contamination from chlorinated solvents and from some herbici’des. In her lab, she creates *‘microcosms” (miniature ecosystems) in small bottles in which she can duplicate the conditions found in, for example, a contaminated aquifer. She uses groundwater from actual aquifers in these microcosms - materials that often already contain the microorganisms needed to break down the contaminants, if conditions are right She has been involved in field tests of hydrocarbons in aquifers, in collaboration with James Barker and other members of UW’s earth sciences department and the Waterloo Centre for Groundwater Research. The work has been done at test sites it CFB Borden, near Alliston, Ontario. Butler uses gas chrdmatography to analyse the microcosms and determine whether the contaminant is biodegrading, and how long it takes to do so. She also looks for ways to speed up the breakdown, which she calls “tweaking the system.‘* One way to do this is to add nitrogen and phosphorous (and sometimes oxygen) to the microcosms. The organic chemicals Butler studies often serve (or mimic) some metabolic role for the microorganisms capa-

ble of degrading them. Benzene, for example, can serve as a carbon and energy source. When a petroleum spill occurs, such as a leak in a storage tank at a gas station, a lot of carbon is added to the immediate environment. So much is added th;it it actually overmatches whatever nitrogen or phosphorous is in the area, and the bacteria become starved for the latter elements.Thus, adding nitrogen and phosphorous can increase bacterial growth and, consequently, lead to much more rapid degradation of the contaminants. A significant difference between surface and subsurface environments is that the latter are typically quite nutrient-poor.

Some surface soils are very rich in nutrients.A further consequence is that a spill area may become oxygen-depleted. As a contaminant is biodegraded in subsurface soils, all available oxygen may be used up and, unlike the situation in surface soils, there is no ready replenishment of oxygen from the atmosphere. Thus another approach to remediation is to find a way to replace the oxygen. Humans can use only oxygen in their respiratory process, but many bacteria are more versatile; they may use oxygen and/or another “electron acceptor” altogether.

CONTAMiNANTS “One of the things I have been doing is looking at alternate electron acceptors - for example, nitrate,” Butler says. “It has been shown that under ce&n conditions you can get degradation of compounds like toluene if nitrate is available. It replaces oxygen as the electron acceptor and produces nitrogen gas as a byproduct.” An advantage of using nitrates is that they are more water soluble than oxygen; thus chances are improved that one can get enough nitrate delivered into a contaminated aquifer to speed up biodegradation. (A major disadvantage, however, is that benzene will not degrade when nitrate is the electron acceptor.) “Right now we are looking at stimulating bacteria growth in petroleum-contaminated aquifer material by using nitrate with small amounts of oxygen,” Butler reports. “The idea is that the oxygen gets used in the primary oxidation step of benzene degradation; other petroleumbased chemicals like toluene and xylenes degrade under nitrate-reducing conditions.” Her current lab studies, supported by Barker’s field work, show that while aerobic bacteria will biodegrade petroleum derivatives in the subsurface, the conditions under which this happens must be maintained fairly precisely. *This is more readily done in the lab where one works on a small scale; there can be problems in the field where the scale of operations is considerably larger. “It depends on the environment,” Butler Gates. “The ideal system would offer a way ‘to deliver the oxygen and nitrate right to the place where the contamination exists.” This involves a variety of technologies including funneland-gate technologies such as are being developed in UW’s earth sciences department.

When winter’s chill covers Canadian farmlands, winter rye and other plants cope by generating their own antifreeze proteins. University ofWaterloo biologist Marilyn Griffith is researching how they do this and whether the antifreeze-producing capability can be transferred to other plants, induding fruits and vegetables, so they could thrive in colder climates. Winter rye,a cereal noted for its hardiness, is sown in the fall when it starts to grow. It survives over the winter and resumes growing, and flowering, the following spring. During the winter the plant’s cells are not destroyed by ice. “I have been trying to figure out the mechanism,” Griffith says.“We know the reason some plants tolerate freezing is because ice forms between the cells - not within them. Ice forms in intercellular spaces.‘ln less frost-resistant plants, ice forms inside the cells and that harms the tissues.” This has to mean that winter rye is able to precisely control the formation of ice. As cold weather arrives and ice forms (in the intercellular spaces) it, in turn, draws water from inside the cells and dehydrates them so much so that very low temperatures do not damage them. “Survival is determined by how dry the cells get,” Griffith concludes, likening the phenomenon to desert conditions within each individual cell. *‘Thus one of our chatlenges is to understand how plants control ice formation ho6 they get it to form outside the cells and as well, how they control the ice crystals so that they stay small. Obvi’ ausly, the plants must initiate these controls.” She says one of the types of proteins involved in exercising this kind of control is called “ice nucleators.” The ice nucleators have hydroxyl groups (consisting of hydrogen and oxygen) that line up or”orient” water molecules exactly as they would be in an ice crystaLThus the plant actually initiates the process of ice formation - mak-

ing water act as though it really was an ice crystal. “We have learned too that the more water molecules the plant can orient at the start, the higher the temperature at which freezing occurs,*’ Griffith says/We also know that cold- resistant plants produce nucleators that start the process of forming ice whenever temperatures drop to about minus five degrees Celsius?

two glucanases, for breaking down sugar; and two thaumatinlike proteins, which prevent cell growth.“ These are secreted by cells when plants are attacked by pathogens/What we have, then, is six proteins - each of which has two functions: to make the plants more disease-resistant; and to produce antifreeze proteins to control ice formation.”

Cold-resistant plants also produce antifreeze proteins that cause the ice crystals forming outside their cells to remain very tiny, so they do not grow large enough to crush cell walls and damage plant tissue.Tissues can only tolerate very small crystals. Griffith says certain species of fish in the Arctic (and Antarctic) oceans also produce quantities of similar antifreeze proteins, which also act to prevent them from freezing. “It is interesting that these fish produce very high concentrations of these proteins, higher quantities than plants do,” Griffith reports.“Antifreeze proteins prevent ice crystals from forming in the fish, though they don’t prevent ice from forming iti plants. Instead, antifreeze proteins in plants prevent recrystallization, keeping small crystals from becoming much larger.” She says researchers at Notre Dame University in Indiana have shown that antifreeze proteins can be produced by bacteria and fungi. “In our lab, we have now learned the amino acid sequences that produce these antifreeze proteins,” Griffith says. “We have identified six different antifreeze proteinr in winter rye, grouped into three categories: two chitinases;

Griffith felt like she was“staring evolution in the face,” after making the, discovery. It appears that these proteins, which initially evolved to help plants resist disease, have since been modifieb to help make plants more tolerant to low temperatures. She notes there are lots of low-temperature diseases that are common in the winter - snow moulds,for example - and it happens that winter rye is noted for its disease resistance, which seems to verify that the proteins are doing two jobs for the plant. Antifreeze activity can be determined by studying the shape of the protein’s crystal structure in a microscope, she says. Crystals formed in the presence of antifreeze proteins are hexagonal in shape; if a crystal is round, then there is no antifreeze activity because water molecules can continue to bind to any part of the prism face. While Griffith’s interests are purely ,scientific, she acknowledges that these findings might well have commercial implications.They might make it possible, some day, for us to grow food crops more successfully in the far north, or grow

ThechevronAffair: Demiseof a Newspaper by Rebecca Higgins special to Imprint

hen Imprint officially began as the University of Waterloo student newspaper in 1979, it did so rising from the ashes of its predecessor, the chevron. The chevron took over from the Coryphaeus in 1966 and remained the campus paper for over ten years, publishing news, arts and controversial political commentary: In 1976,the chevron’s downfall began. The Federation of Students closed down the paper, fearing communists were controlling it’s editorial slant, The ensuing war dragged on until 1979, ruining careers, reputations and student unity in the process. ’ In the mid-to-late seventies, some staff members belongeP to an on-campus group called the AntiImperialist Alliance (AIA). This group was affiliated with the Communist Party of Canada (ManristLeninist) [CPC(M-L)]. Towards the end of September 1976, chair of the Board of Publications, Ralph Torrie, and editor-in-chief Adrian Rodway, resigned from their positions. Rodway left citing increasing political pressure. Soon’ after, the Federation took action. On September 30, Federation President Shane Roberts closed the chevron for four weeks. According to the Federation, it was no longer a democratic paper, working in the interests of the students. In addition to closing the paper, the Federation of Students fired Henry Hess and Neil Docherty, two paid staff members who belonged to the AIA. The chevron and its supporters were furious. Refusing to accept the closure, they began to publish the Free Chevron, a paper funded entirely by advertising.The chevron staff were ordered to vacate the offices. Refusing, they occupied it at times for 24 hours to preserve the space, and to ensure that the Federation did not lock the offices. chevron staff continued to deny the charges of political presP sure, and charged that the Federation had no proof of communist control within the paper. Speaking for the staff, Docherty said the AIA could not possibly have control of the paper as AIA members on staff constituted a significant minority. Feds supporters were content with the closure and hoped that it would be permanent, in order that a more democratic paper could replace the chevron. They were eager for a paper in which all student voices could be heard. Anti-chevron papers sprang up all over campus, including one called The Real Chevron. Four wl=eks came and went, and the war raged on. The University of Waterloo had slipped into the spotlight. Campus papers across Canada covered the Feds-chevron

dispute, as well as theK-W Record and major newspapers like the Globe and Mail. It was difficult for outside observers to know exactly what was happening behind the chevron’s doors. Steve Izma was on staff at the newspaper when the uproar began, and vividly recalls that during 1975 and 1976, “more and more influential staffpeople became ortumed out to be members of the AIA. . “A lot of these people were sharp people, they had basically good political values, but they were very dogmatic in their way of dealing with issues that the newspaper was dealing with, and especially with the way in which the staff operated....It’s very impdrtant to see it as an extreme of political philosophies that have validities in other respects. When people disagreed with their position, they just argued until the Communists? other people got tired and gave up in despair.” Izma and several others refused to be intimidated. Some, however, like Adrian Rodway, quit out of exhaustion. Though much of the staff held left-wing political views, they could not agree on the definition of “left”. . “The problem was dogmatic left-wing versus a more astute leftwing. From 1968 on, [there was] a very consistent and sophisticated left-wing point of view [on the chevron], up until 1976 when the more simplistic kinds of ideas started to be expressed. When Rodway quit in September,B lot of people started to panic because they realized that the kind of stuff that was going to come out ofthepaperwas going to be more and more simplis* tic and outrageous,” Izma recalled. As new students came to work for the paper, they became “sucked in by the rhetoric” and heavily influenced by the powerful students on staff. John Wallace Bast came to work for the chevron after the initial closure, in 1977. He later became part of Imprint’s first staff. Commenting on whether the chevHOD was reflecting the interests of the student body, Bast surmises: “The AIA peonle absolutely

believed that their interests were the interests of the students. They were very self-honest people in their own way, but in general, heck no.” Although Bast felt the CPC(ML) presence, he maintains that the chevron’s shutdown by the Federation was notjustifiable, although “it was an incredibly wonderful thing that happened because it’s the

Nah... direct line of events that formed this particular newspaper.” By this time, the chevron’s “Reinstate! Investigate!” campaign was well underway, emphasizing that their first priority was to have the paper reinstated and Hess and Docherty rehired. Follo&ing that, staff members demanded a thorough investigation into the closing. On October 3 1, the Federation offered to refinancethe chevron ifan interim editor was chosen until the Federation could hire a new one. The staff refused, demanding that /

began, and just two days later, Federation Executive member Franz Klingender threw a rock that shattered a window in the chevron offices. Klingender quit a few days later, becoming the sixth Feds Executive to resign since June, and was charged with mischief soon after. The Federation decided to change the locks on chevron office doors in a desperate attempt to banish chevron staff from the premises. But the attempt failed when staff and supporters covered the doors with their hands. Both sides were angry and punches were thrownbut no one was hurt, although the incident merely widened the gap between the chevron and the Federation of Students. The antiRoberts campaign continued, as students collected over 2000 names on a petition to exile the president. They accused him of failing to implement his policies and of holding student-paid positions during four of his seven years on campus. In December, the chevron was ecstatic as Roberts was recalled from office. The joy was to be shortlived. Throughout the dispute, the chevron staff had been supported by the Canadian University Press (CUP). Slowly, this began to change with the new year. Manny Brykrnan, an engineering representative on council, wrote an open letter to the students of the University of Waterloo. He expressed his anger over the fact that CUP supthe ported the chevron, saying that in doing so, they were violating their own code of ethics. He charged that students and council members were clearly unwelcome at Free Chevron meetings. New Feds President Dave McLellan asked for a CUP investigation commission, as had occurred previously with other student newspapers, and on January 2 1, 1977, the Canadian University Press’ National Executive decided to comply. When the Free Chevron staff found out about the planned investigation, they retaliated by sending letters to CUP members and the

A resolution to the dispute seemed far from attainable. As a result ofthe dispute, many people were unhappy with Shane Roberts, Feds President. Even Steve Izma, a friend of Roberts, had strongly opposed his decision and the methods he used to shut down the paper. On November 19, achevran-Jed camtlaign against Roberts

CUP National Executive. In the letter to all CUP members, theFree Chevron staff called the decision “a serious matter.” The CUP National Executive received a similar letter describing the staff as bemg “concerned and disturbed” over the proposed investigation. “My understanding is that they [the chevron staff] had been running this newspaper for a very long time in an undemocratic way,” says current CUP President Joanna L Shepherd. “A certain body of people made all the decisions and really it was a promotional paper for their political views rather than a student paper. One of the stipulations to be a member of CUP is that you have to be a democratically run Canadian student newspaper.” As CUP members realized that the chevron appeared to be behaving undemocratically, they with drew their support. The newspaper did not seem to be adhering to CUP’s code of ethics, and “there was no way CUP would be in support of a paper like that, unless they had rewritten the constitution, taken on an entirely new staff, and were no longer involved in the AIA.” January was a busy month in the Feds-chevron affair. Shortly after CUP’s decision was announced, the University of Waterloo held a referendum, the first of several, relating to the fate of the chevron. Roberts had been responsible for initiating the referendum before his recall. It asked students ifthey wanteda campus newspaper, if they wanted it to be involved with CUP, and what body should publish it. Other questions asked who should control the editorial content, voting and funding. Perhaps the most important question dealt with whether the Feds should reinstate the chevron. The results were overwhelmingly in favour of the Federation. Students decided that they wanted a campus newspaper, and they wanted it to have CUP-membership. They wanted the Feds to control publishing and many of the policies, but voted for democratic, student-involved voting and editorial policy. Most importantly, UW students voted 2276 to 224 uguinst reinstating the chevron and its fired staff. Predictably, the chevron staff was enraged. They called the referen. dum a fraud, and claimed that referendum rules and procedures were not followed. They charged that Feds supporters were guilty of harassment, vandalism and probable ballot box-stuffing. Ordered to vacate the chevron offrces and served with an ev iction notice, staff members continued to occupy the office space while publishing theFreeChevron. Feds elections took place, and Free Chevron candidates ran but were defeated in almost every area. St. Jerome’s College represented the

chevron’s only real victory, where the candidate garnered 97 of 105 votes. In February, three staff members were evicted from the offices, but with the help of others managed to reoccupy the rooms. A battle ensued, and Feds President Doug Thompson claimed he was hurt in the reoccupation, while a chevron staffer also alleged violence against the Feds. An interesting development in the affair occurred in March of 1977. According to&paper’s staff, Thompson approached the chevron with a signed proposal, offering to reopen the paper and pay all debts and back pay. This was exactly what the chevron had been waiting for. Was the end of the sixmonth long dispute in sight? But at a council meeting four days later, Thompson admitted it had been a bad idea. He held that the proposal was not binding, but was merely an effort to clarify the chevron’s position. The feud continued. Finally, on June 26, 1977, nearly nine months after the paper was shut down, the chevron was reinstated at last. The chevron was to receive full reinstatement as well as a cash settlement of $13 500 in back pay and debts. An investigation commission would be established with equal representation of both sides in order to resolve the conflict. ARer months of deliberation and commission hearings, the five-person commission held a majority position of condemning the Feds, and a minority position condemning both the chevron and the Feds. The commission agreed unanimously that the chevron should not be separate from the Federation of Students. By February, the chevron affair was declared finished. Peace lasted barely a month. In March 1978, chevran staff began to debate over whether to try for a separate refundable fee that would fund the chevron. Staff member Chris Dufault began collecting names for a petition, calling for a referendum. Other staff members didn’t favour this idea and insisted Dufault stop, but he continued. The motion to take away Dufault’s voting rights was raised. Two votes were taken. The first vote was a tie, but the second indicated that the majority was in favour of dismissing Dufault. The Federation of Students were irate. Feds President Rick Smit blamed the problems on the group of chevron staff who belonged to the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). Smit alleged that non-Party members on staff were being harassed and intimidated, and that the votes were rigged. He noted that the chevron staff seemed to be divided into two

groups: CPC(M-L) members, and “normal students.” Ironically, Dufault had written a letter in September 1976 to the chevron supporting the paper, saying that he was always welcome, and free to write what he believed.

Once again, the chevron denied all allegations of impropriety. March brought about another referendum regarding the future of the chevron dealing with the question ofwhether separation from the Feds was a good idea. In May, the twopart referendum was complete. Students voted in favour of a separate refindable fee, a result with which some chevron staff were unhappy. Imprint was born on March 3 1,1978 and first published in June. Disgruntledchevron exstaffers, engineers and members of the joumalism club on campus published the paper, initially funded by advertising and with the support of the Federation, much to the chagrin of the chevron staff. Loyal chevron staff called the new paper a Unlike the “scab newspaper.” chevron, Imprint focused on covering campus events and avoided some of the heavy political commentary that the chevron had always imposed. Randy Barkman was Imprint’s first editor. One of the drawers in the Imprint office still bears his name, under layers of past and present staff. On July 6,

1978, Imprint published its second issue. “They [Imprint staffers] tried to set it up with structures that would prevent that kind of dogmatism,” recalls Izma, “and make it difficult for organizations like that to take over.” Looking back, Bast fondly recalls his time at Imprint. He says that in the first year of the new paper, the staff “stayed absolutely clear of anything political. I don’t believe we mentioned the CPC(ML) at all that first year, except possibly when there was something legitimately news-connected. “Year 1 of Imprint was fabulous. If I had any particular period of my life to do over again, that would be it. There were some really first class people working on this

paper then, and it was fun to be among them. I think it showed in the writing as well. The purpose wasn’t just to become the official newspaper or screw the chevron. Its purpose was to do good journalism...1 think they did it.” Stretching over the first four days of September 1978,aCUP commission began, called by both the Feds andthe chevron. Each side charged the other with intimidation and harassment, and cited incidents of impropriety. In addition, the Feds claimed that the chevron was not a democratic paper. Towards the end of September, it was the chevron’s turn to testify before the commission. Staff charged the Feds with vandalism, harassment and infringement as well as attempting to refute the Feds charges. The chevron’s popularity plummeted. Spokesperson Neil

Docherty left the paper for “unknown reasons.“chevron-and-Imprint veteran Bast remembers what really happened to Neil Docherty: “He had a nervous breakdown, basically. He was losing, and Neil was a winner . .. he’d been fighting his own war for three years, and eventually you’ve got to break. He was actually a tremendously great guy.” By October, one-third of UW students had withdrawn their financial support. In November, the engineering society started a petition to finish off the chevron with a referendum. Of the 12 000 on-c ampus students at the University, 39% voted and detided to withdraw student financial support which amounted annually to $40 000. Staff would be evicted once and for all from the offices, and the chevron would no longer be recognized as the official University newspaper. Another January arrived, and with it, another CUP betrayal in the eyes of the chevron. Two years before, in January 1977, CUP had responded to the Feds request for an investigation. Now, it voted on whether or not to expel the paper wa member since 1962 - from CUP for violating the CUP principle of staff democracy. At the National Conferen,ce (CUP 41), 37 papers voted in favour of expelling the chevron, while eight abstained and two papers - theObllque andthe chevron

In printing company Dumont Press a position paper compiled by the Graphix, after Gabriel Dumont, asMembership Commission at CUP sistant to Riel and the Metis who’s 41, the decision was explained: probably the real leader behind the “It has never been proven that second rebellion, So it was symthe AIA controls the chevron, and bolically a part of native rights [and] we do not contend that it does. individual rights rebellion against However, it is clear that it has an authority which, by the 1970’s, had unduly powerful influence on the seemed to come to be almost acpaper.. .As long as the AIA contincepted by the establishment. ues this presence on the chevron, “I suspect that many faculty we do not believe staff democracy members were relieved when it was can exist.

he members of the University of Waterloo Warriors football squad are primed and ready for an incredible season. Although the team lost several players to graduation in 1994, the 1995 Warriors are loaded with talent and ready to take on the OUAA. Waterloo’s many returning stars will provide great leadership to an outstanding group of rookies. Kevin Danschinko will likely get the starting nod at quarterback in 1995. Danschinko returns to the Warriors after a one-year absence. A true leader on the field, Danschinko has the experience and talent needed to run Waterloo’s triat tack. Other ple-option quarterbacks to watch for are Ryan Wilkinson and Ryan Butler. “With the solid nucleus of returning players like Adrian Thorne, Justin and John Shoniker, Tony Garland, and Mike Maiott, we have the experience that will separate us from the rest in 1995.” (Kevin Danschinko) Captain Adrian Thome leads a strong core of wide receivers in 1995. A talented game-breaker, Thorne will be among the top receivers in the OUAA this season. Thome needs only 2 16 yards and 22 receptions to become Waterloo’s all-time leader in receiving yardage and receptions a mark set by slotback Gord Fawcett last year. Behind Thome is Colin Alie and Brian Gariepy, both hungry for the other starting position. Alie hopes to continue from where he left off last season when he collected several key passes in the OUAA semi-final game against the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks. Although undersized at 5’10” and 165 pounds, Gariepy is a skilled receiver who prides himself on running precise routes. u1994 was a season that ended in bitter disappointment for the team. We have since put the loss behind us and we’re coming out fighting for a National Title in c95. This year cohesion and maturity are in our favour. and I expect that the Warriors will play with more intensity dominating and intimidating our opponents.” (Adrian Thorne) With the departure of AIl-Canadian Gord Fawcett, Rick Shea becomes Waterloo’s top slotback in 1995. At 6’ I” and 209 pounds, Shea muscles his way to the ball to make some great catches. His outstanding confidence will inspire his teammates throughout the season. Chris Amey will challenge for the other spot aik a produ&ve rookie season in 1994 backing up Fawcett. Amey is a devastating blocker and good possession re-

ceiver. Rookie Etienne Vanalderwerelt will also challenge for a spot this season. “Opposing Defensive Backs better carry a blanket because that’s the only chance they’ll have to cover me. If I’m not running over you, 1’11 see you in the endzone. I’m like 7111, open 24 hours a day, no matter how you cover me. And, defensive backs, just pray I’m not run blocking on my way to the Vanier!” (Rick Shea) With the return of Mike Malott from a tryout in the Canadian Football League, the Warriors backfield looks even stronger, Challenging Malott for the starting fullback positioti will be rookies Eddie Kim and James Rankin. Malott has led the Warriors in rushing the last two seasons. Rankin and Kim are both strong runners who will make Malott earn his job. Jarrett Smith saw action at both tailback and fullback last season but will concentrate on tailback in 1995. A solid runner, Smith will have a tough battle on his hands for the starting spot with Brian Belbeck, the extremely quick rookie who has the ability to break open a game. However it looks like the more experienced Smith will be named the starter this season. uThis team will be much more disciplined mentally and physically and continue to claim its stake as one of the premier teams in the CIAU.” (Mike Malott) Leading the offensive line is 6’ I”, 26pound captain Justin Shotiker. An anchor for the Warriors, Justin is expected to earn AllCanadian honours this season. Another big man expected to start is Dave Wright, who made the switch

Rookies to watch are Brendan O’Conner, Tim Sullivan and Ben Powell. “With a good core of returning players and many quality freshmen, we will be successful with a very strong offensive line unit in 1995.” (Justin Shoniker) 6’1”, 275 lbs. Captain John Shoniker leads the Warrior defensive line. An OUAA all-star the past two seasons, John’s presence on the field strikes fear in the hearts of his opponents.

Riha combines the quickness and aggression that ruins opposing offenses. Riha will be a huge factor in the Warriors success. (‘With a mixture of youth and veterans, the 1995 version of the defensive line will once again prove to be one of the meanest and toughest in the country. Look for Kevin Towers to solidify an already strong defensive line.” (John Shoniker) Waterloo has a talented group of linebackers in camp this season. Sophomore Jason Van Gee1 was an outstanding player last season and was named the UW’s rookie of the year. He is also an integral part of the Warrior offence as a short-yardage fillback.

Others to watch for are Kevin Pressburger, Ryan Kirk, Brendan Aucoin and Mark McIntyre. Both extremely intense, Kirk and Pressburger would love nothing better than a championship season in 1995, Aucoin and McIntyre will press for starting spots. Aucoin is a vicious hitter and valuable special teams man, while McIntyre is a technical linebacker who always finds himself around the ball. “We want to have the best and most feared linebackers in the league in 1995.” (Jason Van Geel) The Warriors have a huge gap to fill with the departure of cornerback Cory Delaney. However, Kirk Witter and Tory Locker seem determined to fill the hole. Witter is an outstanding coverage man who will go one-on-one with the best receivers in the OUAA in 1995. Locker saw plenty of duty last year as Waterloo employed a six-man secondary. Locker will be assigned man-to-man coverage this year. Captain Tony Garland will lead the Warriors defensive secondary. A 1994 OUAA ail-star, Garland’s intense style of play and punishing hits will crush opposing offences. Garland is a true leader on and off the field with that style of play that brings out the best in himself and his teammates. Todd Groves, another great defensive back for the Warriors will concentrate on safety. Shawn Dyson, who had two interceptions in 1994, will be counted on to be his usual intimidating self in the Warriors secondary. Christian Lorenz is a talented special teams player who will also concentrate on safety. uAfter a taste of the SkyDome last season, our team is ready to take that next step. Our goal is a national championship. With the loss of Corey Delaney, everyone will have to pick-up their game. However, the L(Black Storm” will continue to be a force and carry on in 1995 as opposing offences try to protect themselves from our fury? (Tony Garland) Waterloo’s field-goal kicking will be solid once again with thirdyear man Arek Bigos. Bigos should be one of the premier placekickers in the country in 1995 and break into Waterloo’s all-time scoring list. Punting will be a different story for the Warriors. After a disastrous season in 1994, this spot will be wide open for someone to win. Watch for a strong performance from rookie Philip Chisolm or Matt Armstrong to stop Waterloo’s punting woes. “1 want to improve kickoffs to 55 yards. I’m aiming at 80 per cent accuracy on my field goals and 100 per cent on conversions. I also want to hit some 50-yard field goals? (Grek Bigos)

or many varsity teams, it’s a bit early to start talking about who’s going to star this season, or, in some cases, what the roster is going to look like in the first place. But we have compiled a few notes on the teams and athletes that you will get a chance to see this year. And remember: all of these coaches are lobking for ways to improve their teams, and athletes who “just show up” at the tryouts can be an important part of that refinement process.

VarsityBadminton Coach: Dave Meijer The men’s and women’s badminton squads will have a rookie coach this season, Dave Meijer, who will probably be without the services of most valuable player Cliff Tao, an outstanding graduating senior (OGS) last season. The Warriors’ best finishes in 1994-95 were both second-place results in west section&, at Guelph and Western invitational tournaments. The Athenas scored third at the Western Invitational, and are hoping for the return of MVP Vivienne Chan.

o, you’re not have a night mare. Sean Van Koughnett has indeed graduated. And so Tom K&wetter and the men’s basketball team has the unenviable task of doing without. If the graduation two years ago of Alex Urosevic is any consolation, the Warriors actually became more competitive without him, mostly because they were forced to play as a team and could execute a more controlled offence without his frenetic celebrity style. Don’t expect quite that result this year, though. Van Koughnett was a far more important cog in UW’s team than was Urosevic, and

the comparisons might as well stop there. If you are to believe the conventional wisdom, you have to start building a team out from the centre position. But with fifth-year veteran Mark Hopkins in the post spot, the focus shifts out to point guard. Warrior sophomore point man Mano Watsa gained valuable experience this summer as he played for Ontario in the Canadian Junior Basketball Championships, hosted by UW and Wilfrid Laurier University. Last year’s rookie of the year Mike Stroeder will play an increasingly important role on the team this year. Two Athenas, who shared the

team’s rookie ofthe year award last spring, also played for their provinces in the tournament. Centre Jacalyn White played for Alberta, while guard Mary Frances Lapthorne was a member of New Brunswick’s team. Athena head coach Kathy Keats has all the components of a competitive team. Her basketball Athenas lost one crucial veteran - Susan Kruis to graduation, as well as Connie Weber, but retain a core of experienced players.

The City of Waterloo and our community welcome you to Waterloo! Living away from home can be an exciting experience. A new community means new friends, new places to go and no parental supervision! No supervision sometimes leads to: loud parties - parking on lawns and boulevards - a build-up of garbage and junk where it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong. The City has by-laws which regulate or prohibit these matters and they are enforced on a consistent basis. As you .may be new to our community, we want you to be aware of these by-laws before you find yourself in conflict with your new community. The City of Waterloo Traffic By-law #83-l 9 does not allow overnight parking on City streets bemeeo 230 a.m and 6;OO a.m. This by-law also restricts parking on all City streets to a maximum of three consecutive hours unless signed for a shorter duration. Signage advertising these parking restrictions is located on the main streets entering the City of Waterloo. You have chosen our universities because they are well respected and they chose you because you have a lot to offer.

Mustangs? That will be Don McKee’s quest this season. Under head coach McKee’s ten-year direction, the Warrior hockey is an organization that just keeps plugging along, putting out quality teams year after year. But UW hasn’t been able to punch through to an OUAA West title and a trip to the Nationals since 1990. ,4fter finishing third in the Far West division in the regular season (13~9-2), Waterloo scored a mild upset by beating (do 1 even have to say arch-rival) Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 6-5 in double overtime last February before losing an OUAA semi-final series 2-0 to the almost flawless Western Mustangs. These three teams will once again share the Far West with the Windsor Lancers in the OUAA’s screwy alignment: four divisions, with four teams in each and the top three advancing to the post-season. Last year, this format allowed a team with 3 wins in 24 games to compete in the playoffs.

Varsity Nordic Skiing Head Coach: Don MacKinnon The Warrior nordic ski team may have finished second in last year’s OUAA finals, but headcoach Don MacKinnon expects more. “The men’s team should definitely be stronger this year,” he says. A core of players return, including 1995 rookie of the year David Climie, Scott Curry, Brent Curry, Stephen Daniels, Luigi D’ Agnillo, Brad Frenette, Norman O’Reilly, and Kevin Thomson. Most valuable skier and assist-‘ ant coach Gary Pluim has graduated, but MacKinnon rookie Tim Bell to push some of the veterans. The Athenas are coming off of a sixth-place finish at the OWIAA finals. Tanya Moore has graduated, but leaves behind Jessica Maier, Alex Milhailovic, most valuable skier Joanne Murray, and rookie of the year Natalie Sonosky.

Varsity Rowing Head Coach: Don McLean The Warrior rowing team loses outstanding graduating senior Ted Crouse, who scored a third-place finish in the heavyweight singles event at the OUAA finals last year. But Colin McDougall, most valuable rower and rookie of the year, should be back. On the women’s side, both rookie of the year Catherine Doerksen and most valuable rower Julie

Last season, both varsity and junior varsity teams were a perfect 7-O for the first time in the club’s history, before falling to theQueen’s Golden Gaels in the OUAA championship. Brian Anderson was the team’s most valuable player, while Mackenzie James was rookie of the year. Outstanding graduating seniors include Anthony Beaty, Derek Featherstone, Greg Laycock, Randy Martin, Stelios Nikolakakis, Ian Pryde, and Josh Windsor.

Athena Soccer Head Coach:Bruce Rodrigues The soccer Athenas lose a few outstanding veterans to graduation, but head coach Bruce Rodrigues is hopeful that they can make progress after their 3-8-l record last year. Graduating seniors include: Krista Elliot, Andrea Jalbert, Tiffany Kanitz (MVP), Marlene Line, and Darka Tchir. Margaret Corey, also an OGS, may return. The team’s rookie of the year was Michelle Sandilands.

Warrior Soccer Head Coach: Dave Benning Most valuable player Jason Chase and rookie of the year Dennis Peeman led the soccer Warriors to a 1-10-l record last year. Marc Blake, Mark Ciavarella, and Greg Pappas graduate from the program, leaving a core that will look for improvement.

Warrior Squash Head Coach: Clive Porter An assistant under Barney Lawrence last season, Clive Porter takes over the reins as head coach this year. His roster is uncertain, but he looks to improve from a sixth-place finish at last year’s OUAA finals. Stephen Lee was rookie of the year, while Andrea Olijnyk, an outstanding graduating senior, was most valuable player. The Athena squash team was cancelled this summer.

Warrior Volleyball Head Coach: TBA Just call it the Imprint jinx. The last three Warrior volleyball head coaches to be named UW coach of the year, an award presented by Imprint’s sports editor at each spring’s Athletic Banquet, have quit the j ob during the following summer. This time, it was Ed Price, who had just finished leading the Black Plague to a fifth-place finish at the CIAU fmals last March. So, this year’s team tryouts may include a search for a walk-on head coach. Former Warrior all-star setter Tony Martins is considering a return to UW as head coach, but needs to find employment in Waterloo Region before he can commit. As usual, expectations will be high for men’s volleyball, UW’s most successful team over the past decade. Failing to win the OUAA West over division rivals McMaster and Western would be considered a step backward. Improving against national competition is definitely this season’s

target.

Graduated are Pete Dennison, Rene Holt, and Jon Tenthorey. But MVP and perennial allstar setter Shawn Smith should reti to anchor a still-veteran-rich squad, featuring Matt Reed, Al Schroeder, and Kent Prete.

elcome to the twentieth century. Two days short of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Rugby League, the game of Rugby Union has finally relented from internal and external pressures and embraced full professionalism. The announcement was made by Tony Hallett, the Rugby Football Union secretary, in Paris on Sunday, August 27th. The game of Rugby Union, directed by the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB), has long held it’s amateur status to be one of the fundamental cornerstones ofthe sport, steadfastly holding onto this ideology even longer than the International Olympic Committee. Unsurprisingly, the sweeping change has upset many ofthe sport’s traditionalists, particularly supporters and governing bodies in the northern hemisphere. On the other hand, the southern hemisphere has embraced the wholesale revision eagerly. The announcement came at the most critical juncture of rugby’s history and the game’s future prospects since the foundation of Rugby League a hundred years ago. At that time, the Northern Rugby Union was formed in northern industrial England to accommodate 21 breakaway clubs who wanted to pay their players. The two bodies of rugby are often confused by most North Americans as the same game, but Rugby League is the less familiar of the two (the University of Waterloo Warrior rugby teams, for instance, play Rugby Union), and the professional game was modified to have different rules (2 less players, no line-outs, a series of downs, etc.). Naturally, having a rival league featuring huge payrolls has long been a thorn in the side of Rugby Union, Union players would regularly get coveted and poached by British and Australian League clubs, posing a significant threat to all unions, in particular the national sides of New Zealand, Wales and Australia. Alternately, Union players who remained loyal to their game still had to man the farm. Indeed, once a Union player crossed the line to play League and receive payment, he would be barred from returning to Union for life. The threat posed from League has always been the most prominent, but that threat was generally one of individual players, not entire governing bodies. Since the last Rugby Union World Cup in South AfYica this past May and.June, more sinister forces have threatened the soul and survival of the IRFB. The sources of the division

pendent of the other, driven by Australian media moguls Rupert Murdoch and Kerry Packer. Both leagues were offering huge sums of payment to players and seeking to get national sides -- South Africa’s Springboks, New Zealand’s All Blacks, Australia’s Wallabies, and France and England -- to get on side

with them, Many players from these squads signed contracts, but many others stood loyal to their respective home unions. The case of Jonah Lomu was a particular dilemma. A virtual unknown last April, the 20 year old All Black was the sensation of the 1995 World Cup and became the most internationally famous rugby player of all time, the game’s first true superstar. While it’s arguable that Rugby Union could afford to lose him -- since they’d suffered and survived the loss of many great players to League over the past century -- the New Zealand Rugby Union certainly didn’t want to lose him, since he was still in his infancy. But Lomu was receiving incredible offers of millions of do1lars waved in his face by U.K. Rugby League powerhouse clubs Wigan and Leeds, the rival leagues of Murdoch and Packer, and allegedly even the Dallas Cowboys. His alternative to this wealth was to remain with the New Zealand Rugby Union as the country’s most famous hero and a martyr working at his $20,000 per annum job as a bank teller. At zero hour, the New Zealand, South African and Australian Rugby Unions saw the inevitable, hastily breaking rank and declaring themselves professional. It was the end result of the irresistible culture around them. These three southern hemisphere teams are the unquestioned super powers of the intemational game today, so the northern hemisphere Unions and the IRFl3 had to take note. Besides, the players stances in the English and French sides looked to be extremely volatile as well. Despite all the dogma of the game’s amateur tenets, players and unions have long come up with ways to circumvent the rules. South Africa and France have been partitularly accommodating toward covering their international sides

expenses and rewarding the stars. In measures to remain competitive against their Union and League rivals, the New Zealand and Australian Unions would blindly look the other way when payments were made, generally through book and endorsement deals. But the bottom line at HQ still remained amateurism at any cost. Most of the hard line was dictated by the governing body, or “Old Far&* as English captain Will Carling deemed them, in England. The Unions in the southern hemisphere grew tiredofthe IRFB’s orders and instructions however, believing the game’s perception in the north was that ofan exclusionary class game played in private schools. In the southern hemisphere, the rugby is for everybody, transcending race and class, a fact apparent through the sport’s makeup, stature and successes in those countries. In this respect, rugby in the southern hemisphere has proven more philosophically aligned witli the spirit of labour which prevailed in the foundation of Rugby League 100 years ago than the contemporary controlling body of the IRFB. The timing of the announcement was mere coincidence -- 100 years for professionalism to arrive to Rugby Union. Vernon Pugh, chairman of the IRFB working party, released a five point official announcement of the momentous day (see box below). The ramifications look sketchy -- how will the club structure operate?; how will money be allocated?; who signs the contracts, clubs or unions?; will League players be allowed reinstatement i-n Union? -- but the cloudy shadow of “shamateurism” has been dissolved for good. Now rugby can operate without shame. More details and resolutions are expected to be passed at an International Board meeting in Tokyo next month.

Summerslam kicks ass! ! by Dewey

Oxburger

Imprint staff

arty’s Pub at the Comer of University and King played host this past Sunday to the World Wrestling Federation. Wrestlers weren’t there in person, rather Morty’s presented the “pay-per-view” extravaganza that has become the annual tradition of Summerslam. Right from our arrival, we knew that it would be a good time. There were a couple of drunken Maritimers sitting next to us who enjoyecl pretending professional wrestling is real. Everybody enjoys that. There was also the regular, the pipe-smoker who r-&/y does believe that wrestling is real. Great crowd. The card looked promising on paper. Some amazing matches were promised, as well some that looked like totally obvious filler (Vince McMahon’s philosophy: no intermissions, just crap matches). The opening bout featured the l-2-3 Kid against Hakushi in a match with great potential. This match exceeded expectations. From the beginning, commentators were touting it to be a contest of martial artists, but that didn’t make it a great match, What made it a great match was the ability of these two competitors to make wrestling look real, and to amaze viewers with the variety of moves and ploys used which required exceptional athletic ability. After more than ten minutes of gruelling scripted combat, Hakushi pinned the l-Z-3 Kid for the l-2-3 count. The second and third matches were a bit more staid. Hunter Heart Helmsley defeated Bob “Spark Plug” Holly in a fairly even match, and then the Smokin’ Guns defeated the twin brothers Jacob and

Eli Baloo in a tag match. The latter was one of the low points of the night, offering nothing but the standard “on television three time a week” fare. Skip of the Body Donnas met Barry Horowitz in a grudge match next. Skip was a bitter man because Barry Horowitz, in his first victory, recently ended Skip’s undefeated streak in the WWF. In a long, hardfought match, Horowitz prevailed, gaining a merchandising contract with the WWF. This match also demonstrated the WWF’s lack of respect for its fans, as the referee refused to end the match after Skip’s manager threw in the towel. The referee was heard to exclaim that, “this isn’t boxing.” This comes barely six months after Bob Backlund attacked his former manager Arnold Skaaland for costing him the championship in the 1970s by throwing in the towel. The worst match of the night, however, was the subsequent match: a women’s title match with champion Alundra Blayze defending her belt against the behemoth “Big” Bertha Faye. We found ourselves wondering if the powers-that-be at the WWF were intentionally selecting camera angles focussing on Bertha Faye’s corpulent behind. It certainly didn’t make stomaching our food any easier. Bertha Faye did win the belt, which means we can look forward to seeing more of her. After this, Kama “the Supreme Fighting Machine” fought the Undertaker in a “Casket Match.” In order to win, the victor would need to put his opponent into a casket at ringside and close the lid. On paper, this looked like a crappy match. Neither competitor is known for spectacular actions or great ring expertise. Both rely on brute force, while the Undertaker also draws on the power of the dark side.

We were pleasantly surprised, however, to find that both competitors performed much better than expected, with a variety of aerial moves and twists that kept us on the edge of our seats. The final match before the main eventspitted former champion Brett “the Hit Man”Hart against Dr. Isaac Yankem, D.D.S. Brett Hart was dominating the match until Jerry “the King” Lawler interfered from ringside. The match was awarded to Hart by disqualification. The first main event, a rematch from Wrestlemania X, featured Shawn Michaels against Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title in a “Ladder Match.” The belt was suspended fifteen feet above the ring, and in order to win competitors needed to get a ladder from ringside, climb it, and grab the belt. Most fans were skeptical that this match would be able to live up to the legendary match which occurred at Wrestlemania X, but we weren’t disappointed. Clocking in at over a half hour, the match provided more twists, turns, and moves of crippling potential than any of us expected. Without a doubt, the Heartbreak Kid and the Bad Guy provided the best match of the night, and Michaels proved that without a doubt he is the greatest athlete in the WWF. The second main event featured World Champion Diesel against Men on a Mission’s Mabel, who won the King of the Ring tournament this year. Despite the usual plodding nature of matches featuring these two competitors, it provided much action as Diesel successfUlly defended his title against his four hundredplus pound competitor. Overall, the card was outstanding, and I have no doubt that Marty ‘s will be crowded for the next WWF extravaganza.

or the first time since 1973, the Ontario Universities Ath letic Association football schedule will consist ofeight games, the OUAA announced. This season, each team will have four home and four road games, but the preseason contents scheduled for the Labour Day weekend have now been eliminated. For 1995, the question of who the opponents would be for rhe extra game were done by lottery. The four teams (Guelph, Laurier, Windsor, and York) who were scheduled to have three home games will now be home on Saturday, October 28. Guelph will host Waterloo, McMaster visits Laurier, Toronto travels to Windsor, and York hosts Western.
