he dispute at Waterloo community radio station CKWR and parent organization Wired World Inc. appears to be getting uglier. A week after Vice President Kim Cowanhadcalledforaresolution to remove President Peter Tilkov from his position, Cowan has instead been himself ousted following a secret meeting by the station’s board of directors. The action comes after two weeks of bitter recriminations. On August 26th, members of the non-profit radio station staged a public demonstation outside the station, located at Regina and Young Streets in downtown Waterloo, protesting what they felt were acts of bad faith by the board of directors. Initiated by the concerns of the staff, Cowan became perceived as figurehead of the protest since he was the board’s lone dissenting voice and spoke of the staffs concerns to assembled news media. Cowan has held the positions of President and Vice President of CKWR at various points over the past six years. He was named an adviser to the board last year, became a board member again three months ago, and was unanimously re-appointed Vice President a month ago. Cowan has never seen the station as politically bitter and divided as it presently stands. Following the protest, during which Tilkov had locked himself in the station and secured the station with a police officer, Cowan sought the removal of Tilkov as President for “incompetency in performing his duties as a board member.” At the same time Cowan also notified station secretary Ike Arias to issue all the paper work necessary for the station’s overdue annual Gen-

t the beginning of last April the Federation of Students released an undergraduate vision fur the University of Waterloo, and submitted it to the President’s Commission on Institutional Planning. Containing 65 recommendations dealing with areas such as quality of life, teaching and learning, and governance, its release went largely without hype, and little has been heard of it since. Little that is, until the Gazettepublished excerpts from it in last week’s issue under the headline, “What students say: A brief about a vision for UW.”

era1 Meeting. None of Cowan’s requests were accepted. Cowan’s expulsion is the latest in a series of ethically and legally questionable moves by Tilkov and the board of directors. The dismissal came after a secret board meeting to which Cowan was neither invited nor aware. Cowan was notified of the board’s decisionearlier this week by a message in his mailbox. Interim station manager Ray Dupuis later notified him that polic’e action would be taken should he attempt to return to the premises. The reason given for the expulsion is Cowan’s “violation

of board confidentiality.” Although the precise breach of confidence hasn’t been disclosed, Cowan believes it follows some comments he made to news media during the August 26 protest. Cowan had related to reporters a statement from fellow board member Ivan Radesic following the cancellation of the lesbian current affairs program Woman to Woman. Cowan and the rest of the volunteer staff believed Radesic’s comment, “Good, we don’t need that shit here,” to be reflective of the board’s hostile attitude toward alternative programming. Neither Tilkov nor Radesic, CKWR’s new Vice President, were available to comment on

Shortly thereafter, a concerned professor, Jack Kersell of the Political Science department, contacted Imprint, taking specific exception of Recommendation Twenty, “That the University investigate strategies to make more interdisciplinary options possible through better use of expertise which crosses departmental lines....” Kersell

rhe board’s decision. Nevertheless, new Program Manager Herman Schutz confirmed the reason for expulsion. Asked to comment on the board’s decision, Schutz said he was “very happy.” Pressed for further details, he backed off, explaining, “1 really don’t know anything... I’m just the new guy, I’ve only been here fwo weeks.” Cowan and the other staff members are incensed at the decision, especially since they believe the board has violated station policy. Bylaw 2, Item 4 of CKWR and Wired World Inc.‘s Policy and Proceedures, which pertains to the board of directors, stipulates that a member can only be removed after a two-third’s majority of the station’s membership has voted for expulsion. Cowan’s status as Vice President, board member and staff member were all revoked. None of the station’s membership, many of whom are in firm opposition toTilkov, were madeaware of the measures prior to expulsion. Despite his membership on the board which voted to expel Cowan, Schutz said he didn’t know anything about the board’s policy and proceedure for expulsion and couldn’t comment on any violations. Staff member Lisa DiFranco believes Schutz’s lack of information on protocol is Lbtypical of the way the board operates.” Following the pub1 ic and media outcry of the August 26 demonstration, a list of concerns and grievances was expected to be addressed by the board. But according to DiFranco, “absolutely none have been made. They haven’t budged an inch. They haven’t addressed one single concern.” At the first board meeting following the August 26 protest, Please see Nightmure

When Kersell directed the program, well over one hundred students were enrolled. Today, less than a dozen students are pursuing this option. When interviewed for comment, current Canadian Studies Director Robert Needham noted quickly that he hasn’t yet read the Federation submission, but that he will as soon as the fall semester rush slows down. Nonetheless, he agreed with students inasmuch as interdisciplinary programs can be superior to traditional discipline-based studies. Even in his home department of Economics, which he refers to as a “discipline silo,” he notes with dissatisfaction that many fourth year Honours stu-

dents, “have very little appreciation for the definition of a capital economy.” Further, while students are not fully exploring the options which are currently available, as far as the student submission is concerned he sees few problems. “What they’re talking about is really multidisciplinary programs, not interdisciplinary .” The student submission noted that expertise in the university exists in several areas which cross departmental lines, such as expertise on things British in Political Science, History, and English, etc. Needham asserted that the student proposal would inPlease see Vision / p 14

Waterloo offers its first interactive on-line course on the WWW by John Morris UW News Bureau

he University of Waterloo’s continuing education program is offering a new interactive on-line course in technical writing via the World Wide Web. Complete with a Windows environment and courseware to enable communications as well as display and editing of materials, the course allows students to complete assignments, send electronic mail and work together preparing online projects - either from campus or the comfort of their home compu ters. “The course is not trendy or faddish. It is very real,” said Paul Beam, a professor of English and a longtime advocate in computer-assisted learning. “The course provides students with training in technical writing as it is practised today in many organizations and, in fact, its techniques and tools are ahead of those in many larger organizations’ documentation departments.” He stressed that all course ma-

terials are available entirely on-line. The course itself costs $295 for continuing education students, plus $45 for specialized software. As well, it’s being offeredconcurrently for the first time to UW students on campus and distance education students. Students will learn the principles and processes of five types of technical documents: resume, business letter, business report, on-line help and manual. They’ll study these in the context of style and audience needs, as well as standards, form and design. In addition, they will apply usability techniques in their analysis of how effective their materials are for readers. Beam said students will work on-line with colleagues on joint projects and search the World Wide Web for research and information on technical writing. “Each tutorial has links to materials at other locations on the World Wide Web,” Beam explained. “The course contains research materials and papers from other members of the English de-

partment whom students can then contact via E-mail for information and commentary.” Besides Web searching and accessing electronic dictionaries, the on-line tools will enable students to produce documents in Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and express them in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) for the WWW, complete with hyperlinks and multi-media options. Users can print their materials at any point as well. Beam added: “Students meet each other and the instructors through E-mail, newsgroups, shared tutorials and assignments and on a ‘Moo,’ a text-based environment in which they can exchange ideas in real time on-line and respond to each others’ comments on documentation and design.” As an added bonus, the technical writing on-line course can be tailored or customized to suit an inhouse training program for businesses.

Now, I am going to let you in on UW’s little secret, & why I love UW. “Outsiders” (those not fortunate enough to attend this grand establishment), think that we are all about studying, solving integrals, & matching our mouse pads to our WWW home-page colour scheme. THIS IS NOT SO! ! This place is one bucket full of finger licking fun. It doesn’t matter what those “outsiders” think, we know... we have our fun. I know that returning students already know this, and it won’t take long for first year students to figure it out.

Fed Book Blues by Chris McGrath Editor, 19951996 Student Handbook

FEDS

he handbooks are here! The handbooks are here! It’s about time... The 95-96 FEDS Student Handbook/Daytimer has finally arrived in the FED office, and I’m sure that many of you have taken the time to come down to the office and pick one up. First of all, thank you for waiting in line, and for waiting for the books to arrive. I hope that those among you who received decent copies are finding the book helpful. However, to those among you who have received copies with screw-ups, i.e. no calendar pages, repeated pages, extra covers, no covers... I apologize. The production of this handbook has been a true struggle as our publisher, Imprimeries Quebecor Ltee., has been quite successful at causing the FEDS tremendous grief. The books first arrived in our offices in late August with the covers on backwards and the page numbers missing. We returned them to the printer who then reprinted covers, rebound the books, and promptly sent them to the wrong address one week following the date promised. Swell. With the books finally in our offices, and the students lining up, distribution began earlier this week, with pleased hoards of UW undergrads flipping through the 160 pages of the book. Finally, all is well. Not so. Books have slowly been returned to our offices for various reasons: missing pages, multiple covers, backwards pages and a multitude of other screw ups thanks to the professionals at Quebecor. I am neither trying to redirect blame nor point fingers...who am I kidding, of course 1 am. I simply want the undergrads to know that myself and the Federation of Students are not at all pleased with the production of this very important project. Mike Suska, Vice President of Operations and Finance, Lynne Sosnowski, Special Events Coordinator and myself are currently working with the Canadian Campus Business Consortium at resolving the problems which have plagued this project since its beginnings in early May. 1 encourage you to look through your book, make sure everything is there, and if it isn’t, come down to the Fed Office (SLC 110) and pick up a new copy. I also encourage you to forward your comments and concerns about this project to me or Mike Suska. It’s YOUR book, tell us what you think. Comments can be left at the Fed Office, or by e-mail at cfmcgiat@attsul .wat5tar.uwaterloo.ca I encourage you to speak up as support from the concrete undergrads will help us in trying to resolve this neverending saga. Thank you for your patience, support and nerves of steel.

Need

a Repair

by Kelly Foley Co-ordinator of the Legal Resource Office tudents in K-W have just settled into their new houses with visions of sublets dancing in their heads. Housing was once a major shortage in Waterloo, when students pitched tents on the Campus Centre lawn. Now there is no shortage of landlords offering the full range of student accommodation. Some landlords are less scrupulous than others and some houses are less habit-

able. The Legal Resource Office in the Student Life Center has been busy talking to the people who are stuck with the nasty houses and not so nice landlords. Most of the problems students have at this time of year concern repairs and general maintenance. Others just signed a lease and are having second thoughts. Unfortunately there is NO way to get out of a lease. You can negotiate with your landlord or find a sublettor, but signing is binding. Fortunately, you can get those repairs done. Section 94 of the Land-

- Don’t

Despair

lord Tenant Act explains that maintenance is the responsibility of the landlord. If you are having some trouble getting repairs done, come to the Legal Resource Office and we’ll give you sample repair request letters. If you haven’t found a place yet, here are some tips . .. . .. . . You do not have to give post dated cheques. If you have had a lease for one year you don’t have to sign another. Your tenancy automatically becomes month to month. Beware of applications for

leases! They often oblige you to sign the lease. If you sleep in the basement or attic, make sure there are two exits. Find out who is responsible for shoveling the snow, The Legal Resource Office would like to help as many people as possible but to do that we need volunteers. Yes, you too can quote from acts of law. It’s a great intro line at parties. If you are interested come to a meeting at the Fed Office, SLC 110 on Saturday September 16 at 200 p.m.

NEWS content of the letter was later officially described on board minutes as %r apology.” Cowan describes the board’s minutes as “the usual propaganda” and “characteristic of the board’s narrow-minded self-importance.” As well as calling for Tilkov’s removal, Cowan also called for a General Meeting to be held prior to September 29th, the day before

Cowan says he was “expecting a brawl.” Surprisingly, a sedate Tilkov instead read to the board a letter from a concerned listener, identified as a WLU professor, chastising the board’s decisions which led to the public demonstration. The

memberships expire. The scheduling of CKWR’s annual general meeting has been a particularly major point of contention. The meeting had originally been called by former Vice Yresident Danielle Holke on April 11 th to commence within ten days of that date. Hostile relations with the board had led to the resignations of several key full-time staff, includ-

a succession of station managhandcuffed by the board, and staff membership was demandamicable solutions. The rift between the board and membership sharpened when the requested meeting was not held and the board wrestled to push the meeting back to this coming December or January. This incensed an already suspicious staff, since memberships were to lapse on September 30th and Tilkov was stating, again against policy, that memberships without his signature were to be null and void. The staff, with Cowan being their sole ally on the board, believed that Tilkov was stacking the membership and effectively creating a dictatorship in a publicly financed non-proIit volunteer organization. In addition to the manner in which Tilkov has handled the station’s human resources and his lack of commitment to alternative programming, the station is also under fire for its failure to meet the Canadian Radio and Television Corn-

mission’s (CRTC) Promise of Performance requirements for French andNative language programming. The CRTC has so far kept clear of the light, maintaining the issue is a housekeeping problem. Curiously, Cowan’s hasty dismissal came aImost on the eve of Mr. Til kov leaving the city for three weeks for what’s alternatejy being described as a holiday or hospital layover. As Vice President, C&wan would have filled Tilkov’s role as acting President, but this was nixed with the hasty expulsion. CKWR is Canada’s first community radio station. It’s parent group, Wired World, is an organization termed by some as a “small goldmine” since the original letter of patent from the CRTC permits Iicences to operate a recording studio and a community television station. Meanwhile, the organization remains in the hands of what one current member classifies as a “rogue element,” and Cowan and staffers are looking into proceeding with legal action against the board of directors.

I.C.C.E., I.C.C.E,, Baby!! by Tricia Mumby special to Imprint

he Feds are holding a conference about how to get things done on this campus with the least possible run-around! If you are a society, club, or residence council-type person, you know what I mean! From about 1979 to 1989, the Feds hosted a conference called the Information Conference for Campus Executives (I.C.C.E.). It is a gathering of society, club, residence council, athletic, Fed, & adminis-

trative people to discuss issues of efficiency on this campus. As there are many people running around this campus not knowing how to “get things done”, it would seem that this conference serves a Well, it does. The great purpose. lost logic of not holding the conference is over! The 1995 edition of I.C.C.E. will occur September 22-24Yarious topics will be covered, such as: pub bookings, holding effective meetings, advertising, sponsorship, dealing with outside organization (buyer beware!), and other infor-

mational topics such as: what is Board of Governors?; and many, many more. This is going to be a great learning experience for all involved. The per delegate fee is $15. This will include lunches and a wine and cheese with Dr. Downey . The sessions are going to be run by the experts around campus, who can best answer your questions. If you are an executive member of a campus organization, and have not been notified of I.C.C.E., please contact me at extension 6331, or fedintm @ watserv I.

co-op Education Offers R&urn6 Proofreading Imprint

his week in Co-operative Education, co-op students going on work term in January will have an opportunity to get a second opinion on the effectiveness of their r&ume. Many students, mainly firstyear, are unsure of employers’ expectations in r&urn6 content, forThere are some mat, and style. general guidelines for students to follow, and the proofreading sessions are intended to point them out. Students seeking r&urn6 assistance will meet one-on-one with student volunteers, mainly from upper years and with co-op background, who have given their time to offer helpful hints, informal advice, and constructive criticism on how students can make their r&urn& more effective in their search for a co-op job. while they are not professional career counsellers, they do have valuable insight and experience that can be beneficial to less experienced students who could use some help. R&urn6 proofreading sessions will take place from September 1 S22, from 9am to 12 noon, and 1pm to 4pm. In an effort to accommodate student schedules, students may book an appointment up to one day in advance; sign-ups will commence on Friday, September 15 at 8:30am, at Co-op Reception in Needles Hall. Sign up early--spaces are limited. Each student may book one session, and in the interest of reducing waiting lime, it is imperative that students arrive promptly for They their scheduled appointment. should bring along an updated, typewritten copy of their r&urn& as well as their Co-op Student Reference MuuA.

you fresh back

all you returning students! I trust you all enjoyed your break away from campus for the last four months. September is a very busy time and one of the many things going on is that Student’s Advising Coop (SAC) is starting up for the fall term. SAC is a commission of the Federation of Students that deals with all issues relating to the cooperative education system. It consists of student reps from each of the faculties as well as any other students that are interested in getting involved. The commission meets once a week or once every two weeks depending on the enthusiasm and time constraints of the people in-

volved. The first meeting will be this Monday, September 18 at 4:30 in the Fed Boardroom. SK (Student Life Centrc... the old Campus Centre building that got a face lift and changed its name). SAC did quite a bit of work during the summer term and much of this needs to be continued. Some of the varied tasks that will need to be worked on this term include: liaison with the various committees of the Co-op department; continuing work on the creation of a Coordinator Evaluation Form; and informing students, and answering their questions and concerns, about the Co-op system and any changes that it undergoes. SAC is also very open to suggestions and ideas, so if you have any projects or directions that you would like to see SAC take on please come on out and get involved.

The voice of the student’s is often lost on this campus and this is your chance to help make it heard. As well as having student reps from each of the faculties, SAC also has a small exec that will be chosen at the first meeting. We need lots of people to get involved, the more people who come out, the more successful SAC will be. This is a great way of getting involved so 1 want to encourage all you co-op students to come out to the meeting, especially you frosh. You don’t have to have gone through the system already to be helpful. We always need fresh opinions and ideas so please come on out, and I look forward to meeting you all Monday!

volve, “only minor administrative costs,” as the only additional expense would be for promoting the programs. Despite the lack of new resources this effort would require, Needham forecasts that there will still be some resistance to movement in this area, as Deans and Department Chairs could l-ear aloss of students to the new programs. Resistance such as this was encountered when proposals were made to develop and expand the Canadian Studies and Women’s Studies programs. He summarized his feelings towards the proposal by stating that, “I don’t see any real problem [with the proposal] except possibly the existence of enough courses.” Regarding Canadian Studies specifically, he noted that while the program is not currently growing, it is also not shrinking. Based at St. Paul’s College, the program recently expanded to offer a three-year degree, rather than just the Option offered previously . Further, he believes that the quality of the program has improved, based on the quality of research papers submitted. While not attributing the small enrolment in the program to any one specific factor, he did note that students today are very concerned with careers after graduation, and they feel that a discipline-centred education is a better route to a career than one which is interdisciplinary. Interdisciplinary programs are less tangible by their nature, and students are looking for something less qualititative. In spite of this, he cautions students, “I think it would be very unsafe for any academic to say that a university degree of any sort will guarantee a career. But if you have a degree you are an awful lot better qff than if you don’t.” * 1 *r 14 I I.1 . . . . _

I’d Iike to preface my column this week by again inviting all prospective writers, photographers, proofreaders, or just plain concerned students to get involved with Imprint, and hopefully for good reason. The newspaper is f”rnanced by students and strives to express as many student views as possible, these views of course naturally being limited to the few who chance to step forward and volunteer their time, commitment, and services. Sadly, it appears the same can’t be said these days of local community radio station CKWR, the non-profit organization which bills itself as “Canada’s First Community Radio Station.” Two weeks ago we ran a rather large feature about the demise of Imprint’s predecessor, the chevron, in the same issue as our original coverage of the CKWR staff protest, An update to the CKWR debacle continues this week. As documented in rhe chevron story, the volunteer organization collapsed mostly due to that paper’s rigidly hardline political dogmatism and a correlative refusal by those in positions of power at the paper to be accountable or receptive to other points of view. You either towed the communist party line or your services weren’t worth acceptance. The chevron’s failure to account to the student body is a history that is and will always be a part of Imprint. This student paper has always been wholly independent of the former, but the lessons are clear. It’s a lesson the tyrannical board of director’s at CKWR would do well to heed as well. At present that board of directors appears for all intents and purposes to be giving their staff of volunteers, who are the entire spirit and lifeblood of the station, a particularly vicious middle finger. It’s always disconcerting to find alternative voices in the media stifled, but especially so with an independent radio station. The feds simply don’t just hand out licences for these things, you can’t start them up at will like you can, say, a newspaper. It’s even worse when the unpaid volunteers of an organization, as is the case with CKWR, get held captive by those who should be accountable to them. CKWR President Peter Tilkov has been acting as though he is accountable to no-one; not his fulltime staff, not his volunteer membership, not the public who finance the station, not the CRTC, nor the local news media who would like to ask some fairly reasonable and direct questions and report all the facts. Sadly, most of the reports you will be reading here and in other local news media have been gathered from the perspective of the protesting staff, all of whom may or may not be the victims of a board they perceive themselves to be. But it’s the staff membership who’re the only members forthcoming enough to tell their side of the dispute. The board denies everything. To even the most casual observer, one thing becomes abundantly clear, and that’s the ignorance of station President Peter Til kov. It’s lost on Tilkov and the board of’ directors that the station’s most valuable resources are its human resources. It will prove a deadly error. -&WC

More E

ntirely too often, I am seeing Premier Mike Harris’ welfare cuts slagged by the media. And while I am not a Progressive Conservative, nor necessarily probig business, I am a capitalist, and I’m all for less taxes and any moves that will improve the economy. The vast majority of the articles and reports I have seen make virtually no mention of the economics involved with such a move. They are more concerned with the easily digestible sob stories of starving babies, not with economic theory which would actually require some explanation to the viewer or reader. However, I am going to try and change that. There are two points I want to make. 1. Welfare cuts will spur a lot of people into the job market, who would otherwise be sitting on their asses until it’s time to go and pick up the next cheque. 2. The next smart move would be to decrease the minimum wage. 1. Cutting Welfare rates will put more people into the labour pool. Welfare rates must be kept below minimum wage or it would be more profitable to be on welfare than work at minimum wage. However, when welfare rates are boosted up to a level that is cl&e to minimum wage, the incentive to work progressively decreases. If person A (hereafter called A) could earn $100 (all figures are chosen for convenience and any resemblance to real figures is purely coincidental) a week on minimum wage and receive $95 on welfare, the incentive to work is virtually nil, because for those 40 hours of work, they are actually receiving only $5! The other $95 were guaranteed! When this sort of situation occurs, very few people are actually going to make any effort to get a job. People with the potential to earn above minimum wage will still be motivated, but

Cuts

Please

those people who are career minimum-wagers (high school dropouts, etc.) will have little incentive, and these are the people who need incentive the most. It seems likely that if these people were motivated, they’d have stayed in school and be looking at more than minimum wage anyway. So, it is good that welfare rates have been cut. Now, all the unmotivated have a little more incentive. It is actually worth their while to get a job. Fortunately, Ontario has several years before the socialists can get back into power and ruin this again. 2. Cutting minimum wage decreases unemployment. Companies will not hire someone if to do so would cost them more than they could earn from that person’s labour. For example, say A makes 100 widgets a week. The Widget Co, sells them for $1 each, so they earn $100 from A’s labour. Widget Co. then pays for the widget parts, and all other operating expenses (there are too many to mention)exce@A ‘s wages. They are left with $75. Now, the government says minimum wage is $100 a week. The company pays A his $ ZOO and then promptly fires him. They lost $25. For whatever reason A’s productivity is limited. He just can’t do better than 100 widgets a week. He might do better with newer, high-tech equipment, but Widget Co. just doesn’t have the cash to upgrade right now. The government has fucked up the economy and Widget Co. is barely scraping by. Now, there are two ways to make it profitable for Widget Co. to employ A. They can make more per widget, or pay A less. The former option isn’t very realistic. If they charge more per widget, they’ll lose customers, and have to lay off even more people (Union leaders, take note of this last point).

The only choice is to pay A less. lf minimum wage were decreased a bit, Widget Co. could continue to employ A and maybe actually make a small profit, which they could potentially (if they’re smart) reinvest in the company, upgrade their plant, increase productivity and make even more money which they could reinvest etc... So, a decrease in minimum wage allows companies to hire more people who would previously have been economically unemployable. This may seem to be harmful to those currently making minimum wage, but on the whole, it is a good idea. The major benefit is to decrease the number of unemployed. This gives people jobs (and perhaps some sort of skill or training), decreases the number of people on welfare (saving the government lots of money, not merely in handouts, but in bureaucracy too), and allows companies to expand. Now, one consideration yet to be discussed is that people are going to have less money to spend. In the short term yes, but the economy will account for this in many ways, so that the standard of living will not decrease, but will actually increase. One adjustment will be that Companies’ operating costs have decreased, potentially allowing them to pass on these savings to the consumer. Another potential savings may come in the form of tax cuts. As welfare roles decrease and the number of income tax-paying workers increases, the government will find it’s costs decreasing and it’s revenue increasing, allowing it to cut taxes and mainttin services. The Conservative government has made a wise move in cutting welfare rates, but it should follow up with a cut in minimum wage. We’d all be better off. - Jumes

History All Wrong Re: The Chevron Affair, Imprint September 1, 1995; Dr. Ken McLaughlin may be the official University of Waterloo historian but he is certainly NOT the official Dumont Press Graphix historian. In August of 1973 I had the good fortune to be selected by the hiring committee of Dumont Press Graphix, a worker-owned, worker-controlled co-operative typesetting shop. One of my first jobs there was to prookad Chevron copy for the first fall issue. From its inception in June of 197 1, Dumont Press Graphix typeset and arranged the printing of several campus newspapers including the Chevron, the Curd and the Spoke. We did this regardless of the political persuasion of the editorial staffs and often despite our view of their politics. I worked at Dumont throughout the Wzevrun Affair.” Neither Larry Hannant nor any other members of the AIA did. There was no special arrangement with the Chevron staff at any time. Dumont continued to typeset Imprint until Imprint purchased its own typesetting equipment. After that Dumont continued to produce1mprint’s camera work and negatives. Ken is right in saying that Dumont Press

Graphix was named after Gabriel Dumont and we proudly displayed a photograph of Gabe on our letterhead. However, neither the Chevron nor its staff had anything to do with the selection of Dumont’s name and Dumont Press Graphix never changed its name. Hopefully Ken McLaughlin will in future investigate history more thoroughly before rewriting it and besmirching others’ reputations. -Jane

Juvenile Sarcasm To the Ed&r, Once again I find myself responding to James Russell and his lack of understanding. Yes, this time the article in question is from Imprint, ‘“They All But SoId Out! !,‘* September 1, 1995. This is the first time James has shown any ingenuity and that is for the title and the title alone. Mr. Russell quotes my response by saying, “we all but sold out of merchandise that night,” and uses it against me by stating “They All But Sold Out.” Bravo. Now let’s talk about the true meaning of the original sentence, which was to express that most of the people enjoyed the show. That’s all, and unfortunately that’s it for any clever

writing Russell. From here on his letter becomes no better than that of a whiny child that had his feelings hurt and can only lash out with juvenile sarcasm. Again I will point out why Mr. Russell is a poor writer. He claims I am biased for I’m a member of “Pablum,” meanwhile it is he that as a reporter should try to remain unbiased. I’m not going to rehash the old points from the past letter, except to remind you readers out there that Mr. Russell went to a Day Glo Abortions concert and was hoping for the opening act to be like the local act “Strange Days,” (a “Tragically Hip” type band). Doesn’t that strike anyone as odd? Mr Russell follies as a reporter when he admits, “1 didn’t manage to get my hands on a copy of Little Man in the Canoe so that he could confirm the changes in the line-up. I really don’t think he was aware of any changes at all. A good reporter would research a story before printing it, which Mr. Russell obviously failed to do and proof in this is that the change in the line-up happened more than a year ago. How do I know this? I saw them last year at The Volcano with “Jimbo” as the new singer and “Squid” and “Johnny” on guitars (John is gone now and “Hung” is the newest DayGlo as rhythm guitarist). Mr. Russell should be more careful with his sarcasm

Pete

Nesbitt

about front page news in the future. Mr. Russell continues his onslaught by quoting me for my remark about what a hinderance narrow minded reporters can be to local talent. Opinions about musicians do start somewhere and I think James is upset because I trashed him and his review of the show and I did it on a factual basis, not emotional, which is all James’ last letter seemed to be, not to mention the review that started all this. James seems to miss a lot of things and does more damage to Imprint for his lack of true facts and research than good. There’s an old saying out there: “Ignorance is bliss.” Well James Russell must be the happiest wannabe reporter alive. -Chef

Morgadee,

PABLUM

Editor’s note: For purposes of clari’catiun, Mr. Russell’s “article, ” “They All Bui Sold Out, ” was aciually a letter written in response to Chef Morgadee ‘s letter in response to Mr. Russell’s original article. The headline for the letter wasn ‘t Mr. Russell’s choosing, it was actually selected by myself: The above heudline, “Juvenile Sarcasm, ” was pruffered by ChefMorgadee. Hope this clears everything up and concludes the debate.

IMPRINT, Friday, September 15, 1995

The French have certainly caused a stir lately with their nuclear testing at the Mururoa Atoll. In most countries, a domestic environmental outcry would seriously impede such a move. But not in France, where Greenpeace does not even boast enough members in the country to open an office in Paris. While their actions deserve every bit of the condemnation that they are receiving, these activities still leave the world puzzled as to why they are occurring in the first place. France has always been a rather paranoid country, and at times with good reason. To defend the tests, French politicians have been citing the need for security and so on, but without any decent reasoning to support the action, presumably because there is none. The French nuclear establishment cIaims that the tests are needed to ensure the continued safe operation of the triggering devices and to provide data so that computer modeIs may be used for testing in the future. These are perhaps valid technical reasons, but there is still no political or social justification. As far as I can tell, paranoia is the only plausible cause for these nuclear tests. Germany has reunified and is moving its government back to Berlin and into the new-and-improved Reich-

stag. It is also the driving economic force in Europe at the moment. In addition, a German writer has recently caused controversy in Germany with a new book that says that the new country is now too big for its own good. This lends some credence to typical French uneasiness regarding Germany, beyond the fact that the last government to sit in Berlin had a penchant for swastikas. In Toulon, a major southern city, the mayor was a member of the National Front, at least until recently when he was murdered outside his apartment. The NationaI Front, by the way, is exactly what you would expect: anti-immigrant and extremely right-wing. This party has quite a following at the moment, especially in the south where people are desperate to stop the influx of immigrants from north Africa. The recent bombs going off in major cities have made matters even more chaotic. As no groups have claimed responsibility, suspicion is currently centered on Algerian and other Islamic fundamentalists, although this could be a hasty conclusion in light of what happened in Oklahoma City+ However, the decision to go ahead with the tests was made long before these events. They merely add fuel to the fire. As always, most of the films playing on the Champs-6lys6es are

American and the government is doing its utmost to ensure that French is not polluted by anglicisms. With the Channel tunnel now in operation (bringing in yet more English tourists) and the European Parliament getting increasingly powerful, the French must feel under assault from all sides. I’ll stop short of investigating what Nostradamus had to say about the coming last few years of the millennium, but whatever it is, it can’t be terribIy uplifting. All of this, I’m sure, is keeping the French intelligence agencies and other habitually paranoid and militarily inclined branches of the French govemment quite busy. At the head of it all, Jacques Chirac is a neoGaullist President who needs to assert himself at the beginning of his term. With all of this internal and external turmoil, nuclear tests seem to be Chirac’s method of choice for recstablishing France’s prominence and making a strong show of force. Is this why they are conducting tests? Pure paranoia over potential threats to French security, nationhood, and culture? It’s my best guess. Of course, I can’t see nuclear testing solving any of these issues or enhancing Chirac’s credibility. Got any other ideas?

rguably one of the more reprehensible traits of the .human animal is its tendency to draw lines of distinction in which to divide itself and antagonize itself. With racism, sexism, ageism, heightism, weightism, discrimination against homosexuals, smokers, the physically-challenged, the mentally-challenged, the homeless, the unemployed, the smart, the stupid, the rich, the poor, the bald, muscle-heads, Trekkies, those who prefer to eat Chunky’s with a fork or those who prefer Chunky’s with a spoon, one might think the human race had enough lines with which to divide itself. Yet I suppose if we all were white, middle-aged male about 6’ weighing I90 lbs. with brown hair, brown eyes all earning about $75,000 a year in middle management; even if we all lived in the suburbs, happily married with 2 kids,

one son, one daughter,

lutely abhorred Star Trek and ate Chunky’s with a spoon, we would still find some way to discriminate against each other whether on the basis of being right- or left-handed. having attached or free-floating earlobes or whether we ate MiniWheats for their nutritional value

or their umm-yummy good taste. With universities already in many ways a microcosm of human society, is it really so surprising that the denizens of our fair City in a Bottle would contrive its own petty form of discrimination? It was second day of classes, when I found myself in the MathComputer building looking for a Watstar Computer Lab. Being Frosh and generally unfamiliar to the building I did what any other person would have... I approached a fellow outside of the private offices that lined the MC 1000 corridor. He seemed welI mannered and appeared to me to be some kind of computer advisor. “Excuse me,” I inquired politely, “is there a PC computer lab in the building?” “Uh, yeah. Are you in Math?’ The instant the word “Arts” escaped my lips a wave of disgust filled the air; the fellow rolled his

me?” crossed

his face. I recalled that look from somewhere else. It was the same look one of my friends gave one particular fellow after he declared he was in fact Korean and not Chinese. It was the same wave of disgust that permeated the air after he made

what my friend judged to be such a ghastly and scandalous admission. This was discrimination. Anyone who says there is never any sort of animosity between the faculties is lying. Discrimination against members from the different faculties is institutionalized and endemic in virtually all the university since the first day of Frosh Week. In my own defense, I would like to point out that I applied to both the Faculties Arts and Math at Waterloo and was subsequently offered admission to both. Talk of Arts students, their superficiality, their airheadedness, their lack of any technical aptitude is unfounded, unproven, ignorant yet typical of many people’s attitudes on campus. However, this is not a piece justifying anyone’s decision to enroll in Arts, but rather question as to why we all waste our time dividing ourselves along such a petty,

insignificant

Chicken Answer

The n the first night I spent in residence at the University of Waterloo, my roommate and I had a quick verbal confrontation with a few soft-brained, intoxicated bigots. Apparently, the small scripted bubbles that we had placed outside the mouths of our dinosaur-shaped name tags caused a great commotion. My dinosaur, uttering the words, “India or Bust!” sat alongside the words of my roommate’s dinosaur, “Black and Proud.” My roommate and I, both shaken up by the encounter, re-

ported the incident to my Don as soon as we could. She attempted to comfort us, but unfortunately her techniques of consolation did not offer much solace. She told my roommate that she had a black friend. She told me that she liked Indian food. Forget the disruptive hollers of a few impertinent racists in the middle of the night. Forget the deplorable aftermath these boys left after calling me a “fuckin’ whore.” Forget the contemptuous implications of my sexual promiscuity gathered from a small blue sign

Curry: to Racism that stated only the origin of my birth. Forget the future “backward” insults muttered under the breaths of pretentious, inane passers-by that were equally ignorant and equally disturbing as the ones I had first encountered. I should thank God for curried chicken, spicy rice, lentils and sweet buttered roti. If it weren’t for our fine variety of Indian cuisine perhaps our function, worth and selfvalue as a race with a purposeful existence would dissipate. Perhaps East Indians are a tragic flaw in God’s divine plan for the universe, but we somehow slipped through the cracks by displaying our wonderful ability to perfectly blend the right amount of exotic spices with exactly the right portion of rice. Chicken Vindaloo anyone? Although disturbing, confus-

ing, and highly agitating, this absurd, almost humorous event evoked a more intense discussion on masked, systemic racism. After repeatedly broadcasting the fact that she had befriended blacks and Indians in the past, my Don gave my roommate and myself a brief outline of their hobbies and favourite foods -- because even in the midst of our horror and inner contention we would still be interested in the hors d’ouevres served at her “Indian friend’s” wedding and the size of her “black friend’s” muscles. It became clear that it wasn’t the blatant racist that we should be scared of, but rather the typical, aggravating ignorance of the common person. My Don’s enthusiastic voicing of her cultural friendships was her way of proclaiming her politicaf correctness. She wanted to tell

us that we were just like her, which we obviously are not. We have separate histories, conditions and concerns. But through the generosity of people who befriend people like me, I should be grateful that I too can be considered white if I really want to. This disturbing logic is the same reason why black Barbie was never successful in the Sixties. She was a white Barbie painted black, with long straight hair and European features. Race isn’t about a coat of colour. It is about history, experience and culture. The overcompensation of “nice” whites makes minorities feel that an inferiority actually exists. Systemic racism is all around us and is a part of our society. So please, watch what you say. -Deep&a

+IOPE IN TN by Scott Morton special to Imprint

his August I had the rare privilege to visit a land of relatively unspoiled wilderness. I met people who have had to fight to protect their way of life and their land against multinational corporations, the military and the gov; ernment. Many of them don’t get proper nutrition and education. Housing is poor by our standards. One pump is the water source for most of the community. They have only been exposed to heavy European/Western/modern influence for the past three generations and already the impact has been devastating. I didn’t go to Africa or Central America this August; 1 stayed right here in Canada. The place 1 just described is Davis Inlet, an Innu community on the coast of Labrador. My visit to Davis lnlet was part of a course offered by Conrad Grebel College entitled DeeplyRooted Social Conflict. Twelve of us took part in the fascinating, emotionally charged and sometimes shocking experience. All of us had our own reasons for going. Mine was to see for myself those places that I had read about in the news: gas sniffing, suicides, protests over low-level flight testing; another Native community in crisis. I can’t say that I found any concrete answers to any of my questions and I certainly cannot say that I’m an expert on the situation after a mere eighteen days. However, I believe I learned some valuable lessons, worth sharing. Our group visited several communities in addition to Davis Inlet. We stayed in Northwest River for the bulk of the seminar and visited the Innu town of Sheshatshit (across the river) frequently. The focus of our study was the lnnu people (not to be confused with the Inuit). The Innu are the indigenous people of the Quebec/Labrador peninsula, a land which they called Nitassinan. They lived a nomadic hunting lifestyle in the region before the arrival of Europeans. They continued to live in this fashion, with only very limited contact to Europeans through Catholic missionaries, until the 1950’s. At that time, the federal government consolidated the Innu population of Labrador in two communities on the coast, Sheshatshit and Davis Inlet (there are many Innu communities in Quebec as well). They were also convinced (some say coerced) to live in houses built by the government. At that point, many of the problems now experienced by the Innu began to develop. Children were required to go to school year round, taught by the resident Catholic priest. This priest

the healing process from within. Where is the media coverage of things like this?! Nowhere was the hope more alive than in the faces of the children. Many of us had the opportunity to play volleyball with some extremely gifted young athletes from Davis. The confidence and friendliness of these young people was remarkable. The voracious curiosity, the unprovoked hugs from kids we had never met before and the bright smiles were all vivid signs of hope. They reminded me that these are not charity cases, sensational headlines, or dumb Indians; these are just kids. It was the most important lesson of the trip. It’s a fact that there are still many Innu in Sheshatshit and Davis Inlet who carry a lot of anger, hurt and resentment towards the government, the church and white society in general. Four of us went on a walk through Sheshatshit one evening and were confronted by an angry couple. Their frustration was quite obvious and they made their hatred of “all white people” known to us. They began to question us: Are you reporters from the CBC? Are you here to see some dumb, drunk Indians ? That was an eye opening experience for all of us. Looking at headlines across Canada, one sees many communities where the frustration of Native people has erupted into aggression and sometimes even violence. We are quick to condemn it, but I can’t say with absolute certainty that I would not react in a similar fashion if pushed as far as the people of Davis are pushed. We haven’t been shown enough of the good news in Native communities. I’m willing to bet that for every Native person who’s willing to fire a shot, or throw a punch, there’s another who’s trying hard to let go of the hate and the hurt. I think before we react with hate and fear to the increasingly violent situation across Canada we should be asking ourselves why it’s happening. We should be asking the Natives why it’s happening. I am not naive enough to think that everything will be easy and quick to fix, but I know it’s a better answer than shooting at each other and keeping the hate alive. Your opinion on these issues may differ from mine, because we all have different biases), but at the very least I hope this piece makes you curious to learn more about these people. I hope it also makes you want to look further into Native issues across Canada. I hope, finally, that you remember that we’re all people with flesh and blood, and that we have to start working a lot harder at understanding each other before any more flesh and blood is tom apart.

he defensive beat goes on. Despite a 23-16 result last Saturday in favour of the visiting University of Western Ontario Mustangs, the Waterloo Warrior football team can take some consolation in the fact that their defence kept them in a game which should have seen them routed. Against the then-number-2 Mustangs, now ranked no. I in Canada, Waterloo could muster only 112 net yards, including only five yards in the first half, and had trouble getting the ball to punter Matt Armstrong on several occasions. But a 26yard interception return from linebacker Kevin Pressburger and a 50-yard bomb from quarterback Kevin Danschinko to receiver Adrian Thorne indicated some promise on both sides of the ball. Rob Fawcett’s snaps to Armstrong proved to be the most heart-stopping moments of the mistake-filled game. Flooding back came memories of last fall’s OUAA semi-final loss to the Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks at SkyDome when special teams cost them the game. Of course, last Saturday, the Warriors couldn’t assign blame quite so narrowly. In defeat, it was a team effort. “What cost this football game is that we can’t snap the football back to the punter,” said an exasperated head coach Dave “Tuffy” Knight. “You can’t do that against Western. You might be able to do

that against a girl’s team, but you can’t do that against a good football team.” And to think it could have been worse. Western appeared to score a touchdown after blocking a punt in the second half, but had the play called back on a penalty. In other action Saturday, Laurier handed the York University Yeomen their 46th loss in a row, 35-3. The University of Toronto Varsity Blues topped the University of

Guelph Gryphons 27-17, and the McMaster University Marauders edged the University of Windsor Lancers 14- 12. “I’m not taking anything away from Western’s defence, but we’ve got a green offensive line,” Tuffy continued. UW mustered only five yards net offence in the first half, but took an 8-7 lead after Pressburger stepped in front of a Warren Goldie screen pass to Sean Reade and returned it 26 yards. The Warrior offence got on

track in the third quarter, with Danschinko finding Thome for the 50-yard touchdown. Thome also broke a 44-yard punt return, finishing with 106 yards on 6 returns. Fourth-year tailback Jarrett Smith led the team in rushing with 50 yards on 10 carries. 1993 All-Canadian Mike Malott managed only 25 yards on 11 rushes, but proved to be a receiving threat with four catches for 30 yards, including a two-point convert on Waterloo’s second touchdown. Pivot Danschinko survived the trial by fire with mixed results, throwing &of- 11 for 9 1 yards and one score, but fumbling three times and throwing one pick. He had a lot of learning to do, originally anticipating to return this year as a backup and suddenly finding himself in the starter’s role. Last year’s backup Pat German was expected to be the heir apparent to Steve Bennet, but suffered head injuries in car accident this spring, ending his role with the Warriors this year and perhaps his football career. Punter Armstrong showed remarkable poise. When he wasn’t chasing the ball around deep in Waterloo’s end, he was averaging an impressive 40 yards on seven punts, good enough for third in the OUAA. Sean Reade was Western’s offensive workhorse with two touchdowns and a combined 128 yards rushing and receiving. Goldie completed 1’7-of-29 passes for 2 17 yards, with the lanky Stewart Beak being the biggest threat, catching four passes for 72 yards. With the loss to Western, Tuffy Knight remains five wins away from becoming the winningest coach in Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union football history. Knight’s 133 wins leave him tied for second with Don Loney, head coach of the St. Francis Xavier X-Men from 1957 to 1973. The coaches are chasing Bruce Coulter, coach of the Bishop’s Gaiters for 26 years, who had a career coaching record of 137-80-2. Tomorrow (Saturday), the Warriors travel down the 401 to Windsor to take on the Lancers. Don’t expect too many pass attempts, as last season’s OUAA rookie of the year, running back Chris Moore, leads a strong Lancer ground attack against Waterloo’s triple-option offence. Windsor has a taste fur tumovers already, with Rob McElwain and Brett Gaskilf both picking off McMaster’s Mike Kennedy in last Saturday’s 14- 12 loss. Knight hopes for better execution on offence and special teams by the Warriors. “We’re either going to get better, or we’re going to finish last.”

Field hockevon the move by Yolanda Lewczuk special to Imprint

fter finishing training camp, the LJW field hockey team travelled to Ottawa this past weekend to participate in a warm-up tournament. The weekend allowed the team to play universities from around the country and gave the coaches the chance to find the perfect line-up. The team’s first challenge came Tuesday in an exhibition game against the University of Alberta. With the elimination of the offside rule in field hockey this season, the UW team faced many challenges from W of A’s attack. Alberta continually sent their forwards high to take advantage of the new ruling. The team did a superb job on defence for their first game together, resulting in a O-O tie. On Friday, the team faced its first opponents of the tournament, last year’s fourth-place CIAU team, the University of Toronto. U of T came out firing at the young UW team, but the Athenas wouldn’t let them get far. Although rookie Amy Adair did a great job in shutting out

their top scorer, U of T proved to be too much to handle - for now! The result was a 2-O loss. After two games, it was time for UW to start winning. Queen’s was to be the team’s first victim. After a scoreless first half, the Athenas broke through the Gaels’ defense and charged to a 3-O victory. Scoring were rookies Michelle

UW utilized their speed and aggressiveness to charge to victory. Lo and Dawn Culverson, and veteran Sara Creighton. The last game in round-robin action saw the Athenas playing the Outawais Club of Ottawa. UW utilized their speed and aggressiveness to beat the club 5-O. Goal scorers were Dawn Culverson (2), Michelle Lo, Caroiyn Stark and Bernice Willemse. The team finished second in

h Nelly hold your belly close to mine! Wow! What an action packed weekend for the Warrior soccer team. The first contest was last Saturday when the Warriors faced the aIumni. This annual contest al ways produces intense tackling, exciting moves and shots, great saves, and most of all a sense of unity between the players. The strong alumni team was looking to avenge last year’s defeat. Neil Daniels’ head ball and a fluke goal delivered by Paul Knafelec restored bragging rights for the old timers. Chris Brown scored a typical right-footer for the

their pool to face U of A in the cross-over semi-final. Sunday morning’s semis gave the Athenas another chance to beat U of A. Having just met days before, both teams fought hard for a win and played some excellent hockey. Unfortunately, U of A was able to sneak a goal during a breakdown in front of the net with four minutes left in the game. It was a disappoiting ending for the team, but it taught mtiy lessons. The loss meant UW would play York for third place. The final game of the weekend produced a glimpse of things to come from the UW field hockey team. The Athenas out-shot, outran, and out-played York for 90 per cent of the game. However, late in the second half a costly defensive error led to a York goal and win of 1-o. The Athenas finished with a record of 2-3- 1 this weekend, with 8 goals for and 4 goals against. With more to come from the team, the Athenas invite all to the home opener this Sunday, September 17, vs. York University. Game time is lo:30 a.m. at University Stadium.

kicks off a bang

Warriors in the second half, but the young talented team failed to equalize. It ended 2-1. However, this tough experience proved itself valuable for the following day. For the season opener, the Warriors travelled to University Stadium in a feature match against nemesis Laurier. Last season resulted in a split decision; one win apiece. Sunday’s clash on the new astro turf inspired the same drama and competitiveness. The opening half started at a furious pace. Solid tackles were provided courtesy of captains Matt Arkett and Dennis Peeman. Promising rookie striker Reid Hart was denied by the crossbar and sweeper Jason Chase kept the defense organized. Due to fatigue, the mo-

mentum slowed during the second half. A O-O tie left the fans anxious for a sequel. Coach Dave Benning was content with the first point in the OUAA soccer standings. His concerns are now focused on this weekends’ matches, Saturday, September 16 versus Windsor and Sunday, September 17 versus Guelph. Both games kickoff at 1 pm at the Columbia Soccer Fields. Come watch Waterloo establish themselves as a serious threat in the OUAA. Hail! Hail! The Warriors!

Athletes of the Week

Kevin Pressburger - Warrior Football Kevin is a third-year Environmental Studies student in his third season as a linebacker on the Warrior football team. Last Saturday, as the Warriors met the Western Mustangs in their season opener at University Stadium, Kevin returned

an interception 26 yards for a touchdown to give the Warriors an 8-7 lead in the first half. Kevin also sacked UWO’s quarterback for a 17-yard loss. Although the Warriors lost the game 23- 16, they put up a good fight and held their own against the reigning Vanier Cup champions. Without a doubt, Kevin has stepped up and taken a leadership role on the Warrior defense. The Warriors’ next home game is Saturday, September 30 at 2 pm when they take on the McMaster Marauders. Yolanda Lewczuk - Athena Field Hockey Yolanda is a fourth-year Science student and goalkeeper on the Athena field hockey team. This past weekend, Yolanda had a tremendous run in the net collecting three shut-outs and allowing only four goals during six pre-season exhibition games. Yolanda has been a member of the Ontario Provincial

Team in 1989,1990,1994, and the 1995 team that won this year’s national championship. The Athenas begin league play this Saturday at 10 am at Western and host their season home opener Sunday as they meet York University, the reigning OWlAA champions at lo:30 am at University Stadils

BLACUSTORMISWARRIORS’BACKBONE by Kimberly Imprint staff

Moser

hey call themselves the Black Storm because each week their fury wreaks havoc on the opposing offence. Year after year, the Waterloo Warrior football team’s defensive back unit has been a dominant force in the Ontario Universities Athletic Association and the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union. In the past five years, the Black Storm has produced 11 OUAA AllStars, 4 All-Canadians, and last season’s CIAU defensive player of the year. The faces of the Black Storm change from year to year as new players come in and others graduate, but its assauit never quits. This season’s version of the Black Storm is fronted by rover Tony Garland, safety Shawn Dyson, and cornerbacks Tory Locker and Kirk Witter. All players are very talented in their respective positions and have the experience necessary to carry on the tradition of the Black Storm. Yet, what sets these four apart from all the other players is their unique blend of personalities. Each one of them is so different, yet on the field they move as one. zeroing in on the enemy and crushing the opposition. Garland is the “quarterback” of the defence. The player farthest from the line of scrimmage, he is able to see the entire field and call out the opposition’s strengths, either right or left. Of the four, Garland also has the most responsibilities as he is

the one who is counted on to help if someone gets out of position. “More or less, 1 don’t have cover responsibilities,” says Garland of his role as rover in a game. “I’m just there to help everyone else. If a guy gets out of position, I’ve got to fill in where he’s not.” And, as a player who dreams of running people over, this position suits him perfectly. “Tony’s nickname is Caveman,” says teammate Kirk Witter. “Because he’s the hitter. He’s out of control out there running all over the place.”

Like Garland, Dyson lives to hit people. “At safety,” says Dyson, “there’s no time to relax: you’ve either got a run to protect or a pass to protect. And, if it’s a run, man, you’ve got everyone in your face. I’m an aggressive type of person, I’m the type who can’t calm down. “Once I’m in a game I’m either up or down. Safety is the type of position where there’s no stepping up or stepping down, you’ve got to play on the level the whole time, there’s no in between. You’re just banging heads the whole time

and that’s what I like!” In contrast to the rest of his teammates, Witter is as “calm as a cucumber.” “Comers,” says Witter, “ basically have pass responsibilities. We cover guys for the long bomb. We’re not in the mix as much as rover or safety because we’re so far off the ball. And that’s what makes it hard sometimes because we are always in a one-on-one situation with a receiver. A lot of times as a corner it’s a big play situation and you’ve got to step up and take the challenge .” “You’ve also got to have a short memory!“Tory Locker points out. Locker is the Black Storm’s other cornerback, and the hardest to get a handle on personality-wise. The quietest of the group, Locker reflects his nickname, Forrest Gump; he is a man of few words and instead does his talking on the field. Locker is the fastest Warrior

in camp, running a 4.5 40. He is also an outstanding coverage corner who will go one-on-one with the top receivers in the OUAA. As for having to have a short memory, a cornerback must be able to forget about a guy if they are beat deep. If not, the next time they step up to the line, they won’t be able to perform as well. Garland, Dyson, Witter and Locker: they are each very different off the field, but on the field they are equals, all focused on one goal - success. “There’s no selfishness among the DBs,” says Witter. “We just want to see the entire group perform well.” “We don’t have the standouts we’ve had in years past,” realizes Dyson. “But we have a lot of good players. Everybody has to work together because there is no one (on a higher level.) You have to play as a team because no one person can carry any extra weight.” And it is this emphasis on team play that has made the atmosphere on the team this year much more relaxed than in the past. “Last season was my first taste of the playoffs,” says Garland. “You get more relaxed every game you play, and that’s the key to success: staying relaxed.” No member of the Black Storm is thinking Vanier Cup right now, instead they are focused on just performing well and playing one game at a time. “If you have too many people working for themselves, you’re not going toget anywhere,” says Dyson. “But, if you’ve got people working for each other, that’s what gets you somewhere, and that’s what we have this year.” It is precisely this idea that makes these four members of the Black Storm different from all the others. They respect each other’s different personalities off the field, but on the field, their differences fall to the wayside and they become one unit focused on one goal: winning.

fter a perfec t 7-0 record last vear and a season-ending nioss in the semi finals, the Warrior Rugby team picked up where they left off, starting preseason action off with a b&g last Sunday. In an exhibition game against our rivals down the road, Waterloo hammered Laurier 3 l0 in a game that should set the trend for the season. According to coach Derek Humphreys, this year’s Warriors a;e moving much faster and have far more depth and balance than ever before, accounting for their superb play on Sunday. The Warriors also played their annual match against the Alumni team Sunday afternoon, but met with less success. Unable to hold their own in the face of experience, the varsity players lost 55- 15. However, Humphreys notes that it was the Junior Varsity team who played

the majority of the game, in an effort tb give many newer players some exp&ient;r: on the field. “We only played the Varsity team for about 12 minutes,“explains Humphreys, ‘ ‘and in that time they scored 3 tries.” This offers an indication of the quality of play to be

last year 9s season ender expected from the team. The secret to success this year seems to be balance and cohesion; with so many key players it is hard to single any one out to be the hero. “Dale Finley at prop will definitely be a standout,” says coach Derek Humphreys. Other players to watch for throughout the season are Brian

Anderson and Josh Windsor, who will bring added strength to the team’s already deep trove of skill. Having moved up to Division One after finishing on top of Division Two in last season’s play, Humphreys does not foresee having any problems with the increased le vel of competition.

The Spirit Spirit

and the Skv I/

of the West w/The Skydiggers and Mike Something Fed Hail

Tuesday,

September

5th

by Dewey Oxburger Imprint staff ederation Hall was home to a huge triple bill September 5, hosting Spirit of the West, the Skydiggers, and Bombshelter perennial Mike Something in aconcert for residents of Village Two. Federation Hall proved once again that it is without a doubt K-W’s best concert venue - offering excellent acoustics, a huge dance floor, and cheap pitchers. To call the show energetic would he an understatement. Mike Something took the stage around 830, playing a set of almost-all original music. He opened with a version of “Count on Me,” soon moving to the most familiar of his own tunes, “Heart and Soul” and “River’s Edge.” He closed with “Ain’t No Easy Way,” dedicated to the late John Lennon, and a cover of Peter Gabriel’s timeless “Solsbury Hill” which he introduced as his favourite cover to play. Despite the fact that the bar was less than half full at this point, energy was high for Mike Something’s short set. I’ve seen Mike hundreds of times at the Bombshelter, but the great majority of the audience, composed of frosh, could not have seen him perform before. It was a testament to his ability that a crowd unfamil-

iar with both him and his music, at Fed Hall to see two other immensely popular Canadian acts, were as enthusiastic with him as they were. Of course, between songs cheering wars began in traditional Frosh week fashion, and was dominated by either North Quad or South Quad, depending on where in the bar you stood. When asked what he thought of the experience, he was obviously pleased, noting that he had the opportunity to meet many audience members, and “they’re a

friendly bunch of people...1 was really happy with their response.” The Skydiggers came on stage shortly before 9:30, fresh on the release of their new album Road Radiu - their first release with Warner Music Canada. They opened with probably their most familiar original song “A Penny More,” following it up with “Accusations.” Andy Maize and Peter Cash both displayed excellent vocal performances, and except for the brevity of their appearance (it

lasted only an hour) the Skydiggers could have served as the headlining act judging by the crowd’s obvious satisfaction. My only complaint regarding their performance was that they didn’t play “Mr. Soul.” I later found out from bassist Ronnie Von Johnnie that they were ptanning to close with it, but ran out of time. Such are the vagaries of show business. Spirit of the West opened with “D for Democracy (Scour the House)” from their GO Figure al-

bum and then quickly moved into a rendition of “If Venice is Sinking” from their F&zlifr album. SOTW quickly showed why their live shows maintain such a huge following (they’re a consistantly big draw in this area) exploding with all of the energy and emotion they are known for. Notable by its abscence was the hit single from their newest album Two Headed, “Tell Me What I Think.” When asked about this exclusion, the multi-instrumentalist and sometime vocalist Geoffrey Kelly stated that they simply hadn’t yet developed an arrangement of the song for live performance they were yet happy with. The band played for over two hours, during which lead singer John Mann’s voice carried the show. Less frequent than during past performances were songs featuring Geoffrey’s voice. Drummer Vince Ditrich’s riffs powered up the band’s older songs which were originally recorded without adrummer, and emerged from behind the drum kit during several songs to touch the crowd while he played tambourine. Some of those who had seen Spirit of the West before were disappointed that Ditrich and Hugh McMillan didn’ t perform a duet as is usual during their live performances. All in all, the three acts played above expectations+ Mike Something will next be at the Bombshelter September 15 and 29 for free matinee performances, and Spirit of the West look forward to returning to Fed Hall in October. -

Allman Joy with Hippie Nuts The Allman Brothers Band Molson Amphirhru tre, Turoniv Thursday, August 3 1 by Chris Imprint

ith the death of Jerry Garcia and the future. of the Grateful Dead hanging in the balance, the Allman Brothers Band seem the last bast ion of hope for hippies every where. As would be expected, the Molson Amphitheatre was alight with a crowd dressed in the traditional uniform of pseudo 1960s garb; modest tent dresses, sandals and Grateful Dead tees. Despite not selling out the show, the lawn portion of the amphitheatre was packed with across-section of people grooving to assorted sounds emanating from the stage. While some have written the Allman Brothers Band off as a has been retro act, if the truth be told, they work their butts off on stage and live up to their reputation as a killer live act. The band provided a lengthy set of blues inspired rock and roll to the most appreciative crowd I’ve seen at a Toronto show in a while. With the show clocking in at over two and a half hours, the Allman Brothers Band had plenty of time to touch on new songs, jam

ven if you live under a rock, you’ve heard of Live. b Chances are if you listen to the radio you’ve heard at least a couple of their tunes. Maybe you saw their absolutely smokin’ performance on Saturday Night Live a few months back. Perhaps you’re one of the millions of North Americans that own their sophomore smash Throwing Cupper. By all indications Live is the biggest thing since sliced bread and are probably destined for a long and illustrious musical career in the “Altemative” category. As far as Live fans go, I fit into the first two categories, meaning I spend way too much t:me watching TV and listening; to the radio. This means that rabid fans should now prepare themselves for a review long on impressions and short on actual, real, knowledge (like song titles and group members’ names, for instance). So here goes nothin’. The Molson Amphithealre was packed tight (even on the lawn) for what might have been mistaken as a screening of Kids as a good ma-

young and impressionable plaidclad teenagers. This brought faith a very chilling thought to this old rock ‘n ro1ler: Live is a typical 90s rock band, and the typical 90s rock fan doesn’t have a bloody clue who Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin are. Their history of rock ‘n roll consists of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and (ugh) Green Day and that’s pretty much it. As I am one who is terrified by such thoughts, this was an especially horrific aspect of the show. Luckily I got over the demographics of the situation and concentrated on the music, which was pretty damn good. They weren’t spectacular, but they sure came

Besides the hits, they played a few selections from their first release, Mental Jewelry. I was b+ary at first but quickly joined the dark side as one of many destined to purchase this album in the future. About halfway through the show they changed sets and played a few songs seated in a small stage set that was meant to resemble a teenager’s room complete with posters of KISS and Johnny Rotten (whom perhaps eleven fans recognized) . The mini-set of slow, intense songs burned the biggest impression into my brain, and here it is: Live played a set that was tailor made for a big band like R.E.M., who have lots of well known slow songs and

flanking the stage flashed psychedelic patterns to delight the throng of fans, all engulfed by the mind expanding blues rock emanating from the stage. The crowd on (the) grass seemed the most receptive to the performance and were in full tilt from the get go, shadow dancing and kicking up their barefeet and Birks in time to the music, The instrumental epic “Jessica” was easily the climax of the night with its ‘driving fast on a lonely road with the top down’ feel LO it. With or without help, one could easily lose themselves in the music as the band shuffled in and out of songs all the while jamming away. In retrospect, after witnessing the spectacle of their live show, it is easy to see the attraction to the Allman Brothers Band. A certain magnetism surrounds the band that is only matched in intensity by the draw of the Grateful Dead experience. Right until the fading notes of “Whipping Post” petered out on the gentle breeze over the lights of the CNE, the crowd was completely absorbed. As those in attendance will attest to, without question , the Allman Brothers Band give you your moneys worth in concert. The Allman’s were in fine form championing the cause of 1960s stoner rock and allowing for the continuation of present day hippiedom.

My only impression was that Veruca Salt would have been a better band to play before Live because they revved up the crowd a lot more than PJ. Of course the fact of’the matter is that the saltines just aren’t as big as PJ and so they got the shaft. Shame.

thing. It’s just something we’ve observed in ourselves as we were growing up and having families that there are two sides to us. We’re parents now, we’re far more protective of our children, and it brings out a different side to us. We’re not as liberal as we might have been years ago, and we write songs in a different manner now because we’ re older and more experienced. Two Headed just tries to show the duality in all of us. Why didn’t you play “Polaroid” tonight? G~L# I don’t think that would have made a good “Fresh Week” song. How does buying underwear translate into a song? I’m thinkingof”Mildred,“what’stheprocess that you go through to buy some underwear and write a song about it? Geoff: Well. John (Mann) bought me the underwear, and the sticker on the underwear said ‘inspected by Mildred,” and we thought that was funny, and strange, and we created an imaginary life for Mildred, She may not be very happy about that, and I hope to Christ that she’s not going to the University of Wate&o. R’s just about what her life might be like, and chances are she’s not too happy about putting her stickers on men’s, knickers. When’s your live album corning out? Linda: We go home and mix

there won’t be any of the old songs, it’s all new material we wrote for the symphony, so it’s not the typical live album. So when will you be coming out with a typical live album? A lot of fans are looking forward to an opportunity to capture this sound. GM@ 1 don’t know... it’s not something we’ve ever really considered doing. We make a lot of mistakes and drink too much. We haven’t really thought about doing a live album, we’re far too interested in creating new stuff. There may be a point when we want to record a live album, but it won’t happen in the near future. What motivated you to ban moshing and body surljng from your concerts. 3 Was there a bad experience at one of your shows? Linda: There’ve actually been a few bad experiences. We had a person in Ottawa one time whose collarbone was broken because some...goofball jumped off the stage and landed on her. We had a couple things like that happen and it’s just not a lot of fun to perform when you see people in the audience getting bashed about by peoplewhojustaren’tconsideringwhat they’re doing to others. I’ll just pass this question around. Who’s your favourite muppet, and why? Linda: Oh my God...Grover, and I have no idea why... he’s cute.

Drewe staff

Following their usual stellar performance at Fed Hall last week, I had the opportunity to talk with Geoff Kelly (guitar) and Linda McRae (accordian and bass), two members of the bastion of Canadiana that is Spirit of the West. Some of their responses were quite interesting... Your albums have become less folky and more poppy over time. How do you respond to older fans who think that you’ve sold out? Linda: Fuck you (laughing). Ceofl Perfect (laughing). Just kidding. We’ve changed like any other band that’s trying to stay vibrant and useful. We don’t want to sit in any nice little niche so we’re experimenting and moving on. We’re happy with where we’re going, and hopefully the people who come see us are. Linda: We don’t want to stagnate. Geufl Yeah, we don’t want to stagnate and be the same band every single record. That’s sure death. Just look at bands like the Cars that released the same record about four times over and evaporated. We just

want to move along and try new things. Is there a trend towards more harmonica and less acoustic guitar in your albums? Linda: (bursts out laughing) Geoff: I think we try to treat each song for what it’s worth. If it demands acoustic guitar and harmonica then that’s what it gets...If it demands three electric guitars then that’s what it gets. We mess around and find the best way. We’re not trying to avoid using acoustic instruments, but the song dictates instrumentation. I’ve seen you on the Rita MacNeil show a couple times, and I understand you really hate that kind of thing. Geu$fi No, it’s fine, we’re actually going to go back and do a couple songs at the end of this tour.

I saw you w headline in Sudbury at Laurentian University’s Endless Summer concert a year ago, and the crowd there didn’t even know the words to some ofyour older standby tunes, like the”O1d Sod,“and “Home for a Rest,” What kind of influence does that have on your performance? Incidentally, “Tell Me What I Think” was number one in Sudhury earlier this summer. GeofS: Well I guess they’re catching on. I don’t know, video has a Iot to do with it, radio has a lot to do with it and if the radio’s playing your songs and if your videos are getting play then you stand a much better chance at having that recognition from that audience. . . How does that affect your live show though? It seems that you draw a lot of energy from the crowd here, When that doesn’t happen, how does that impact on your performance? Geo$C I t’s tougher, it definitely is harder. There’s only so much we can do. We can’t start playing “Pretty Woman” by Van Halen or some ZZ Top songs to pleas& them, but we do what we do, and there’s always people out there,who do really enjoy us, so we just try t0 focus on them. Is there a message behind Two-Headed? It seems that you’re moving from songs that were drawn from personal experiences on earlier albums- to songs that were

ecently, latest British indie sensations Gene played in Toronto to a sell-out crowd, reviewed in the last issue of Imprint. Before the show I had a chance to catch up with lead singer, and president of the Soho chapter of the Marrissey appreciation society, Martin Rossiter, for a tete a tete. We discussed politics, cities, and the British music press.

With regards to the album Olympian, your debut album, would you describe its sound as being a nocturnal sound or a daytime sound? That’s an interesting question... (pause) It’s an autumn sound, just to be difficult. Okay, when you describe an autumn sound, do you mean leaves falling, lots of smoke? This is when we recorded it, and this is when most of the songs were written, so yeah, it does have a bit of one. I would say it’s mostly dusk. Now when you wrote the songs and put them together on the album do you find that the album sounds how you expected it? Well there were a few things that surprised us, and that is part of the -----------~

known td kill people for using. Yes, I expected a few more guitars. In England do you lump Toronto in with the U.S., or do you consider them separate entities entirely? I would say the latter, I mean it’s partially because my mother and father spent five years living in Canada at separate times, mostly in Montreal, with about a year here in Toronto. I know a little bit from them. No, I consider there is a definite difference between Canada

art for working out a city and or a place very quickly. Toronto I like very much. it seems very relaxed. It seems quite cosmopolitan and Bohemian without all the pretention that normally goes with that. How do you find Toronto compares with London? It’s smaller, but everything is. London is dirtier also. London is too big to have a character. Fifteen million people, it’s vast and certain areas have character, but you can’t really judge the whole city. Do you find that London has a character to it? Do you think that it exceeds its current value? I don’t know, it depends what your criteria are for liking or disliking a place. Of course every major city is perhaps more attractive to the nondweller than it actually is. The current music scene in Britain right now: how do you feel about the rockist attitudes coming out from bands such as Oasis, or Elastica the page boy haircuts and the homage to the band. I noticed that your bass player was playing a little bit of “A Town Called Malice” during the sound check Ah, well Kev saw the Jam over seventy times, used to follow them around. He met (Pal) Weller quite a few times, a real genuine original “I was there” Jam fan. Do you find that Gene fits into this trend, or are you trying to consciously strike against it? I don’t think we do, but we’re not consciously trying to strike against it. I’ve always felt that we were a little detached fromeverything. We don’t socialize really with other bands. We don’t fit into the London scene. The thing is we live in South London where every other band Jives in about a mile radius of each other and I could quite happily turn up at a club, and people would go “Ooh, it’s Martin Rossiter,” but I’m

Ham not interested in that. By the end of this year we will have played over one hundred and eighty shows - that’s almost one every two days. I spend enough time doing this that when I’m home I want to see my friends who have nothing to do with the music and 1 want to return to the real world and get my washing done and go down to the launderette and have Chinese takeaway. Did the fact that your band didn’t fit in to the scene make it harder for you to get noticed, in radio plays? I don’t actually think it made that much difference, I think we were good, and that was what mattered. Perhaps it would have been a little quicker if we had had friends in the industry but I’m not particularly bothered. Actually I’m rather glad that we’re riot involved, that we haven’t snorted coke with the right people to get where we are. I hope we’re not casting aspersions on anyone else. I have this interview you did with Adam Ant, in the March issue of VOX magazine. You said that this year “will be chaotic, we’re probably going to visit at least twenty countries and there will be a time when madness seems to be looming.” Has that madness loomed yet? It seems to be looming, yes. When you’re on tour you’re with nine people who all happen to be male. It does tend to become a little claustrophobic at times and madness is always knocking at your door. but I don’t answer the buzzer. So you find your own private space? It’s hard but you do. We’re not at the stage where we have single rooms. I always share with Kev. Has this success taken you by surprise at all? No, not really. I don’t wish to sound arrogant, but I expected this. How do you feel about your treatment by the media, notably the British rock press? Have they treated you fairly? Well, not entirely fairly, although I’m not going to sit here and overly whinge, but there are a whole catalogue of misconceptions about us, and about me in particular, that I’m a young fogey who sits at home reading Dickens and wearing slippers. also that I’m unfriendly and difficult, which is a little tiring, but they’ve developed a character around me because I have half a brain, and that frightens the hell out of people, and is very rare in pop music these days. heaven forbid to be able to string a sentence together or (animatedZy) even a paragraph! Why does the British press build bands up and then knock them down so quickly? I think that it’s an exaggerated tendency. It does happen, I’m not denying that, and much as I find it mystifying that I’m sitting here defending the British press, what they do is give bands a chance, and it may even be a band, because they have to expose too many bands. Well, I guess I’m out of questions. Thank you very much Mr. Rossiter. You’re welcome, Gregory.

n her first novel since winning the Pulitzer Prize for A Thousund Acres, Jane Smiley begins with an unlikely setting, an enormous cast of characters, and no discernable plot. Smiley introduces us to the world of Moo U, an agricultural college in the Midwest, with a description of a hog named Earl Butz, trained only to eat. Despite this first, most obvious strike against her, she manages to wrangle a story out of the midst of biology classes and freshman dorms (as they are called). Smiley covers the gamut on this one, as well she must. It is fully 30 chapters, if not more, into this novel before we finish meeting all of the main characters. This approach is interesting at first, because Smiley spends time with her characters. We know what they like to eat, how they think about their worlds, what they really want from those around them. However. as Chapter 30 or so comes closer, the characters begin to overwhelm and bewilder us. I couldn’t keep them

only had to make choices that would lead to her eventual rescue...sustaining her faith in the drugs, which she was to imagine as eager, highly-trained German shepherds, barking excitedly as they closed in on the dark little room where she lay captive. Smiley treats marriage, the nature of the college, frosh trials and tribulations, corporate sponsorship and budget cutbacks with the same ingenuity. Smiley makes use of several forms of prose to aid this accomplishment-letters, newspaper articles, handbooks, memos, bits of short stories - alongside the narrative. This breaks the monotony I sometimes felt around the ever growing cast, and without these condensed bits of information I suspect the novel would have run about 650 pages. Documenting bits of the plot would take too much space. and besides, Smiley goes about creating a story in such a rbundabout way that it would not do her work justice. However, the novel takes etYort, patience, and perseverance. The dust jacket promises that the reader will be swept up “in waves of comedy, insight, and reading plrasure.” To a certain extent this is true - but mostly Mnn provides a few good days of distraction.

She is married to a conservative, slightly arrogant doctor; she js surrounded by three critical and aloof children; she is watching her husband change the house that her father owned and in which he died. Delia and her needs are ignored, misunderstood, and she seems to live around the edges of her family. So, when Delia picks up her tote and puts on her husband’s coverup and walks off down the beach, eventually getting a ride with a nice man in an RV, place to-live, and finding a job, we feel she is entirely justified.

Tyler creates a nice little town, engaging and affable characters, humourous events and relationships, but she doesn’t give us any easy answers. Delia must work to decide why she left, if she should go back, who she is, etc etc, and although Tyler’s prose gives the impression of conversation, she doesn’t tell us what exactly is happening. It would have been a clever touch to use the letters between her relatives and Delia, but Tyler shies away from telling too much.

his is a powerful novel about a disin tegrating marriage. It is the story of a man whose wife no longer loves him, but loves another man. It is a story of the anguish he feels, knowing that the family he has worked to build for seven years seems about to end. He still loves his wife. He dearly loves his two young children. Much of the pain he feels is because he knows he must either win back his wife, or lose everything, as the courts will undoubtedly take away his children, though he has done nothing wrong. It was his wife who has been unfaithful. He wonders what is wrong when, at the theatre, he takes her hand but gets no response, not the meerest squeeze in return. At home, she dodges his embraces, slides past him in the hallways. She insists nothing is wrong. He waits for her to get angry at him for whatever he must have done wrong, but it never happens. He asks her if she loves him and she says she does. Finally, after weeks of this, she admits her love for another man. Her husband sees

the tenderness in her eyes that used to be for him, but that is now for this other man. That hurts very much. His wife says she still loves him and doesn’t want a divorce right now. Now he is confused. He can’t sleep at night. He can’t concentrate at work. He starts taking Valium. He wears the clothes she likes, shaves every day, hangs on her every word. No response. He lets himself go to hell and drinks too much. Nothing there either. She tells him that if it will make him feel better, she’ll move out. He tells her that if she wants to go, go. She won’t leave without the children. He won’t let her take them. She stays. In time, she decides she wants him to leave. It would be easier on the children. He doesn’t want to do this. He remembers the pain of his own parents divorce so many years before, when he was a young boy. They decide to take one child each, the infant with the mother and the son with the father. Neither is happy. I wont give away the ending. This novel is written clearly (the translation from French is excelient) and simply. The emotions evoked are intense, and the subject matter is all too relevant. For anyone who has ever gone through any sort of messy breakup (pretty much everyone probably), this novel will hit home all to well. Highly recommended.

Here are two completely different groups with new records that have nothing in common. The music each plays is the complete antithesis of the other, and they share nothing in talent or style.

It’s mindless fill surrounding the one saving grace that will sell this record. “I Got A Girl” is so catchy that unfortunately it grows gruesomely tiring only after a bunch of listens. It’s so sugar-coated and so over abundant in catch phrases that it actually becomes annoying with time. It also doesn’t help when they market themselves as “The band with the song you can’t get out of your head.” This exactly sums up Tripping Daisy with this album, but even without the one song there is material on here that does offer up some hope for future al-

It’s also the source of a lot of criticism from writers who’ve been summarily dismissing the album in many recent press reviews. Luna, for those unfamiliar with the group, is the so-called “altemative supergroup” (a dreadful designator if ever there was one) comprised of former members of Galaxie 500, the Chills and the Feelies.

brains behind Galaxie 500, Wareham has been strip-mining the passive edge of the Velvet Underground and Television for years. Some people are bored by it; others just scornfully pass it off as a dose of prozac. If Luna and their new record is so terribly predictable then, why do some fans, myself amongst them, line up at the prospect of release? Quite possibly, I suppose, because we know full well what we’re going to gst, and in this specific exception we like it that way. Cypress Hill call it “hits from the bong.” Luna isn’t really so different, they’re not prozac, they’re like a good hit from the bong; pacifying, nearly addictive, but possessing an enthralling swing.

seem to be anything immediately appealing, but repeated listenings make the record more and more enticing. Feature songs “Chinatown,““Sideshow by the Seashore,” and “Double Feature,” are all particularly memorable and pull listeners back to the record again and

again. Certainly there’re times when Wareham makes you wonder a bit; fans of Galaxie 500 might have an idea what I’m talking about when I say his voice on “Moon Palace” sounds like Curly of the Three Stooges singing the “Miaow Mix” song. You can only shake your head. Wareham team up with a number of notable guests on Penthouse and comes out with some pretty good results. He duets with Television’s Tom Verlaine, one of his guitar heroes, on a pair of songs, “Moon Palace” and “23 Minutes in Brussels,” the latter featuring some terrific guitar interplay overtop achugging Velvets rhythm. The album then conludes with a “bonus” track, “Bonnie and Clyde,” featuring the vocal

Sadier, which not only nicely winds the album down, but is actually one of the better songs here. Though not as consistently endearing as Bewitched, I’ll still no doubt end up giving Penthouse an exhaustive number of plays before the year’s out.

It’s a shame that young bands find it necessary to write songs matching the sound of popular stuff at the time instead of letting their own true sound come out. It is especially a shame since Gwen Mars’ own sound is really good (songs like “Shrink” and “FisherKing” rock.) The first three songs off Mugnosheen you’d swear were sampled from a Smashing Pumpkins B-side collection: guitar effects, drum beats, voice, and voicing effectb are truly Billy Corgan.

“Some people call it a reunion Some a cunclusion Well I just like peuple to form their own opinions” These are the humble words of Jazzy B in the song “B. Groove” on their latest album Volume 5. Well, my opinion is formed and I’m afraid I’ll have to say it straight-up: they did this album because they had to, either due to a contract agreement with their record company or for the sake of carrying on the Soul II Soul name. Don’t get me wrong. The production is quality. After all, the tracks are arranged by the extra-talented Jazzy B with vocals on “Ride On,” “ Feeling, and “Sunday” being supplied by the supernatural Caron Wheeler. And don’t let me lead you into thinking that they’re not experimental at all on this album. For example, the instrl tracl

(“Stuck to the Sun”.) “Dragster” is extremely Nirvanesque. Actually there is a lot of Nirvana influence here, but that is true of most new alternative bands these days. Although this album has a Parental Advisory warning sticker advertising Explicit Lyrics, I didn’t find the lyrics offensive or too coarse. In fact, I couldn’t see why this album had a sticker at all-there is no language stronger than what Imprint uses, so unless you findImprintoffensive (vocabulary only) you won’t f”md Gwen Mars offensive (lyrically). This album is quite good and worth buying: there is a lot of energy here and the quality of the music is great. Gwen Mars are capable musicians, as proven by the multiplestyle changes necessary to maintain the styles of their influences. Future Gwen Mars albums will be worth checking out when they’ve settled on their own sound.

The track “Sunday’s” is an easy listening, smoothed-out track washed over with Caron Wheeler’s silky vocals. The song is not particularly spectacular and the lyrics do sound a bit corny at times, but its satisfactory enough to enter my sunday morning laid back rotation. Although there is more of a hiphop flavouron the album with more scratching sprinkled throughout their tracks and a female rapper, Sensi, representing lovely on the track “Pride” the album feels more or less like an extension of their earlier work.

This self-titled album by this Champaign, Illinois trio features Balthazar de Ley on guitar and vocals, Cohn Koteles on drums, and Joel Spencer on bass and vocals. Menthol’s first full-length album, Gold Record LP, was released when they were known as Mother. This album focuses on lyrical wordplay being mixed to a mix of classic pop and modem rock tunes. With Baltic writing the lyrics and tunes, the band members use non-standard tunings to create a bigger, fuller sound that definitely dominates throughout the album. “USA Capable,” the lead track, features Colin’s frantic, precise drumming, on top of which are layered the heavy sounds of the guitar and bass.

whole album are more spoken and yelled than sung, and are a weakness to the album. The lyrics themselves are somewhat interesting and tend to enjoy playing on the theme of the sexual aspect of rock. This is shown by the humorous views on rock in the songs “Dry Heaves” and “Honorbound.” Producer Brad Wood, who has worked with Liz Phair and Veruca Salt, comes in for the studio work and puts the polish on the disc. He

is able to mix his enormous talent with the dense guitar layering and doubled vocals, like in “Stress is Best,” which are what form the core of this album’s style. The song writing features take-offs from classics or manipulations of standard song forms to engage the listener. This is mixed with a style that is excessively loud with blatant contentedness being had in perverting reality in various subtle ways. As a whole this album loses most of its strength on the poor vocals, and unfortunately this prevents any of the tunes from having a catchiness or quality that is memorable. If the band is able to shore up its vocals and mix them in with their quality lyrics and tunes you may here more of them.

Simply put, this album kicks ass. With suprising subtleties for such a crunchy band, I find something new every time I listen to it. After years of obscurity, playing the dingiest clubs around, White Zombie finally got some recognition with their last album and the singles “Thunderkiss 65,” and “Black Sunshine.” Now they’ve finally hit the big time. Any who doubt my words obviously did not see White Zombie on Letterman recently, where, after performing More Human than Human (the first single off Aslro-Creep) they climbed into a giant bowl of pud-

cancer and skeletons, it would not be wrong to describe the album as dark. However, do not confuse dark with morbid or brooding. This album is more rebellious in nature. What I picture is Rob Zombie and the other members of the band (J. on guitar, Sean Yseult on bass and John Tempesta on drums) chained up in a concrete cell and periodically, people come in and kick them in the head. But every time, they get right back up and you know that if one day they escape, they’11 rip your heart out and eat it right in front of you. Getting back on track, many tracks contain strange samples and intriguing rythms. Far from detracting from the bite of the album, they add new depth. Many bands either overdo this when they finally get the money for top-notch production, or ignore the possibilities. On Astro-Creep:2000, White Zom-

Time and space will sometimes dictate that albums have to be reviewed together; and here this is the case. Mind you, both of these are lesser works by bands that have done better on past efforts. Oh, and they both play techno, Future Sounds of London feel that they are the harbringers of a new era in music, one that embraces technology wholeheartedly and puts them outside the normal parameters of rock and roll. This comes to fruition on ISDN, a sort of “live” album that contains songs that were played on the Internet last year. I remain unconvinced, however, that sitting in your room listening to your computer can ever replace a live show. As for the music, it’s sort of hit and miss, with tracks like “Smokin Japanese Babe” with its looping bassline, and “Egypt”‘s quirky rhythms, shining through. On the downside, the album gets staIled in boring ambience halfway through (“It’s My Mind That Works” for instance) and overall the listener is left feeling indifferent to the experience. I suppose that’s what experiencing a live show overyourcomputer would make you feel like. Richard James of the Aphex Twin, on the other hand, is a complete studio geek; this is the man who claims that he writes an album a week. On I Care Because You Do he should perhaps learn that quantity does not necessarily mean qual-

If you are a fan of Tom Waits, you are going to hate this album. If you are a fan of Tom Waits’ music, you might like it. And if you are a fan of the Holly Cole Trio, you are probably going to love it. Holly Cole (with more than just David and Aaron hence no trio) spends this entire album crooning Tom Waits tunes. For the purists among listeners, this album will be more annoying than anything else. Cole covers many of his signature songs, like “The Briar and the Rose,” However, since Tom Waits has never been adverse to allowing artists to cover his songs - take Rod Stewart’s “Downtown Train” as a prime example - Cole feels free to do whatever she likes to the songs. That is, after all, the point. Waits knows his voice isn’t for everyone. Cole’s isn’t either. May I be so bold as to suggest that they share the quirk of inexactness in their pitch? The best songs on the album

maintains her jazzy sound of “Falling Down,” sounds poignant on “I Don’t W anna Grow Up,” and smiles all the way through “Jersey Girl.” Granted, Cole often misses the mark when she is singing. I have always forgiven her that sin, though, since

by Dewey Oxburger, Imprint Staff Long John Baldry has a long history as a recording artist. Many “dinosaurs” of music name him as an influence, including Mick Jagger, Elton John, Jack Bruce (formerly of Cream), and Rod Stewart. In fact, Eric Clapton acknowledges buying his first guitar after seeing Baldry live. A Thrill ‘S A Thrill pretty much covers his career after abandoning the United Kingdom (it was in the doldrums according to Bald@, and rejecting American citizenship (“But you can’t breathe!“). There are some very good

moments on this doubleCD. Baldry’ s versions of “Morning Dew” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Any More” aren’t adventurous, but they are solid, and sound fresh enough considering their age. His duet with Kathi McDonald on “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” is...different. The vocals sound like Barry White and Kim Carries. It’s good, but mostly it’s different. I wish that I could say this is a great pair of CDs, but its not. The truth is that it sounds too corporate. Excellent production values, perfeet timing, no spontaneity, no feeling, too predictable. Baldry does possess a great voice, and breaks out in the occasional great guitar past, but the songs just don’t quite measure up. Most hardcore bands just thrash out song after song, and

True to Waits form, the harmonica makes an appearance here and there. Occasionally on this album, we are treated to entire string sections and even horn sections, courtesy of The Canadian Brass, sounds which round out and deepen the album nicely. We are also given two beautiful instrumentals - “Cinn’y Waltz” and “Good Old World” - that allow for a nice transition between serious and lighthearted songs. Songs I don’t like on this album: “Temptation,” “Little Boy BIue,” and “Frank’s Theme.” Frankly, I think it’s because I don’t like the songs, nut Cole’s i,nterpretation of them. I found, too, that with repeated listening, all of the songs grew on me - but 1 like Cole to begin with.

This music can most be appreciated and described as ambience music to the point of being a beautiful rendition of electronic art. There are no purposely sung lyrics in any of the tracks though some are sampled or contain some sampled speech. The disc itself last over one hour with most of the eleven tracks averaging around eight minutes. For most tracks the electric beats are heavily repeated, slowly encompassing more rhythm patterns until a very hypnotic or mindbending song evolves. The machinery involved in making this music takes over five lines to list in the insert. The first track “Airstream ‘over and out”’ uses a wooden xylophone sounding descending scale pattern inter-twined with an aboriginal

Whatever happens, this is a really good record that fans of guitar-driven bands everywhere should really be able to enjoy. Straightforward, hard hitting riffs coupled with John Critchley’s vocals make this a record you can expect to hear quite a bit. I could even almost imagine it being played at the shelter on a Wednesday night. Critchley, who writes all of the songs either alone or with Mike Robbins (the other guitar player) comes up with some excellent lyrits to go with the solid melodies. And solid they are. Before you know it, and whether you like it or not, the tunes from this album will be

Engines have seen their fan base steadily expand. Part of this may be due to the fact that they have kept the same line-up for the past eight years, and so have had the opportunity to develop as band, not merely as individuals. Pleasant listening if you are just sitting around, and even better if you crank it up, 13 Engines has made Conquistudur an excellent album that just may spawn the hits that so far elude them. Fans of guitar rock should definitely pick this one up.

Dave Ullrich on drums. This twosome, with the lack of a guitarist, are still able to have a complete sound. The album takes its name from the lead track “Kombinator” and innovative lyrics like “I’ve seen how news may travel fast/I’d like to ride it for a spell” are what typify the album. The second track “Round 12” features Mike’s intricate play on the bass and plain vocals exclaiming “He’s so tired/And she works so hard/ They don’t talk/They grow apart.” The third track, “You Will Know,” is more upbeat and a quicker pace established by Dave’s drumming is what makes it the most enjoyable track on the disc. “Any Sense of Time” slows down, and the contrast between low and high vocals in the chorus emulates the ability Mike has to produce high and low notes from his bass. “Scratch” starts with a loud fog

horn that is quite disconcerting if unanticipated, but leads to a pleasant musical track without vocals. “Dangerous” using a gentle beat, creates one of the most emotional tracks on the album while “Cruise Control” with a much faster pace and pointed lyrics, making the car feature out to be a annoying individual, lend diversity to the album. “Last Flight” is a sonically creative musical piece using a tuba, trombone, french horn and trumpet which breaks from the typical sound of the album and precedes the track “Amelia Earhart.” Being able to create a well crafted album which is both atmospheric and moody is quite an Xcomplishment, and hopefully the album will be snapped up by an appreciative public. This proud showing for the Canadian music scene, as the Inbreds hail from the Tragically Hip’s hometown of Kingston, should not be missed live as it is quite remarkable to witness these two talented musicians able to sonically shock and entertain a whole audience.

horn and a howling noise, this gets encompassed by an high pitched electronic synthesizer pattern which alternately modifies its tempo, notes and volume. This in turn is followed by a noise that sounds like a bubble reaching the surface of the water. The tracks themselves flow into each other making one continuous composition. The fifth track entitled “Holiday in Prague” has an abstract and upbeat tone which makes it standout from most of the others. “Formica Pillow” uses a lot more keyboards in a gentle flowing tune, creating a spacious, organ music feel to the track. “Cotton Candy” is one of the tracks that has more of a distinct techno pattern to the drum beat,

samples and the mathematics that put the pieces together. This album came together over a period of time that saw the members travel and work in locales that varied from the comer of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco, to the Green mountains in Vermont and a techno studio at the end of the runway at Heathrow Airport in London, England. Th&se sojourns all leave varying influences on the music from a retro sound on some tracks laid down in San Francisco, to a techno beat on the tracks recorded in London, such as the fourth one “The Matterhorn” which uses a low staccato bass beat, and finally an especially serene sound that comes

the same as Nirvana’s in New York, the (domestically) new Manic Street Preachers album cannot help but be reinterpreted and viewed differently in light of happenings within the band. In the Manic’s case, it’s the disappearance of their habitually screwed up guitarist Richey Edwards in February, who has since to be found dead or alive. So where Kurt murmurs “1 swear I don’t haveagun,“Richey’slyricsscream on and on about such up subjects as death, abortion, racism, and anorexia - egads! In fact, as depression and sheer gut-tearing angst go, this album is a close cousin to that whole wing of the rock world labeled “Music to Slit Your Wrists By.” Inhabitants of this region include The Cure’s Pm-nography, Nirvana’s In iJteru and of course the entire Joy Division catalogue. Not that this album is in the same league quality-wise, but the atmosphere The Holy Bible is one of all-consuming oppressiveness, a deathly barage of the aforementioned subjects set to pounding punk shrapnel.

Herein is the most noticeable improvement on past MSP efforts. GenerutioPt Terr-mists was way too overproduced to be the punk record it aspired to be, and Gold Against the Soul was even worse, leaning toward FM radio heavy metal. TheHoly Bible, however, is the most raw and viseral of the Manic’s works, and as such easily their best musically, though still amiles away from Fugazi or something of that intensity. And as far as lyrics go, the band have always excelled, using wordplay and an obviously keen awareness of the world around them to create complex narratives. So sad, tragic, even morbid comments on life abound. There’s “She Is Suffering” that details a terribly destructive relationship to a delicate rock motif similar to “Judy Says” by Catherine Wheel. “Die in the Summertime” is as nihilist as one can get “childhood pictures redeem, clean and so serene” writes Richey, probably in reference to a comment he once made that everyone should kill themselves at thirteen to avoid the pain of adolescence, leaving only happy childhood memories. Best of all is the hauntingly personal

“4st 71b” that chronicles the pain of’ anorexia from a first person point of view - personal because Richey has himself been a victim of the disease. Sample this: “My vision’s getting blurred/but I can see my ribsandIfee1 fine...self-worthscatters, self-esteem’s a bore/I long since moved to a higher plateau” The band were to embark on a US promotion tour of this album when Richey disappeared, but that’s been nixed, and that combined with their way-less-than-spectacular success in North America thus far, this is selling next to nothing. But I believe there is a niche for this band - it jusl. needs to be found. This is by far iheir strongest album, and surprisingly (to me) worth repeated listens.

about every guitar effect they can get out of their many pedals. While most of their songs are similar, finding the groove of mellow and spacy (including plenty of echo on the vocals) they usually give away their geographic roots by pounding back to Earth overpowering guitars. Absolute highlights of the album include ‘3 like the ride” and “watch me fall.” However this album will probably not make SIANspheric international superstars. There are drawbacks, though well intentioned. Bucking the trend of most new bands, SIANspheric has not put out thirty-two minutes of music and called it an album. Everybody from Hole to Elastica to Wax have released incredibly short releases. Somnium clocks in at sixty-nine minutes, and while this is impressive for a debut, there are a couple of tracks that could have been excluded. But the true tragedy of the album is the final track, which clocks in at over twenty-one min-

utes. Taking the way cool title, “where the planets revolve i wish i was there”, into account along with the pre-t)ark Side of the Moon experimental Pink Floyd sound of this album, one cannot help but look forward to “where the planets...” with great anticipation. an “Echoes” for the nineties, Unfortunately the track does not live up, at least to this reviewer’ s expectations. It is twenty minutes of guitar effects, rhythmic drumming and little else. While very moody and mood enhancing, the song just isn’t as special as the title or length suggest. Regardless, a very strong album by some very weird people. Early in September, playing for free at our friendly neighborhood HMV, bassist and vocalist Steve Peruzzi did not hesitate to tell the gathered listeners about his stomach flu and managed the enviable feat of spraying spit straight up into the air so that it could cascade back down on his f;ice. Not music you’ll hear at the bar or club, but definitely worth a listen.

credentials, but I digress. This camaraderie is not only musical but artistic; their cover artwork is all from the member’s hands. This album is light and fun (save one or two tracks) and you can sing happily along with the handy dandy lyric sheet provided. “I Smell Flowers” should get you bopping early in the album - dig that funky trombone. At times, Tiellis’ voice is so derivative of Martin’s style it’s cringesome, especially on “A Simple Lullaby.” 1 think the best track on the album is “Was He Cutting Up a Body.” A strong drum beat drives it along as the lyrics are mostly spoken overtop. Nice effect.

I must admit that I found *‘Join The Dark Side” somewhat tiresome, repetitive and boring. Perhaps some of you die hard Star Wars fans will get pleasure out of this concoction. Not me. On the whole though, a good release through most of the sixteen tracks. It’s fun, it’s good to support Canadian content, and all of that. And besides, no doubt ‘Static fanatics (or ‘Static cling - take your pick, we all know at least one person like this) will be chomping at the bit. After all, how can you not yield to a band who admits: ‘I I have this problem,
