he knives may be digging in a little deeper into Ontariocampuses in the coming year, as the provincial govemment forecasts major slashes to municipalities, school boards and universities. On Tuesday, Ontario Finance Minister Ernie Eves told the Investment Dealers Association in Toronto that funding to parts of the publit sector was expected to exceed the 20 per cent figure previously expected. In a July economic statement, Eves had outlined $2 billion in cuts for the forthcoming year. It’s expected that this will climb, and hit universities hard. Eves also intimated that the

government may be forced to close whole ministries to control cost cutting. The Globe and Mull reported Eves as saying that radical steps might need to be taken as a result of the severe cost.I‘,‘,,...I’ ..T..,,_, :..‘).:‘.... :. I. :: ... “.;.I:‘i..- .,_,,,:.~ “?, 1.:. .-

has to be taken seriously. In the wake of the Premier Mike Harris’ election victory this past summer, the government looks to be implementing major measures to bring the provincial budget and deficit into shape. Eves was not specific about what programs and what ministries he projects to be taking the big hits, but Dave

Meanwhile at Queen’s Park, the Liberal finance critic Gerry Phillips stated that the provincial government might be operating illegally by not having an official budget in place. Eves is planning to present the government’s economic statement in November in place of a budget. The New Democratic Party administration was defeated by Harris’ Tories prior to that government passing a budget. But after checking out all of the pertinent rules and regulations governing spending, the Liberals contend that the government is required to present a budget. Eves told reporters that he and ministry officials are investigating the matter and doesn’t want valuable legislature time being devoured by the argument.

niversity of Waterloo welcomes distance education students this Friday and Saturday to Open House ‘95 in Davis Centre - Great Hall. Traditionally the open house attracts over 200 of the approximately 6000 off-campus students. Advertised earlier this week in the K-W Record, this event is designed to introduce distant students to the campus. Distance Education also hopes to raise general awareness that alternatives to traditional education exist. Taking courses by correspondence allows students to

convocation

Reweaving Religious Life: Beyond the Liberal Mudel. Valentine (Val) O’Donovan, founder of COM DEV Ltd., a world leader in satellite communications technology, will receive a Doctor of Engineering. O’Donovan, chairman and chief executive officer, moved COM DEV to Cambridge, Ont. in 1979 to draw on the talents at UW and McMaster University in Hamilton. The company, founded in Montreal in 1974, supplies 75 per cent of the microwave subsystems for satellites in the world and is a leader in superconductivity for outer space applications. Birute Galdikas, a pioneering researcher and conservationist of orangutans in Indonesia for 24 years, is an archeologist at Simon Fraser University. She will receive a Doctor of Letters. Kenneth Frampton, an architectural historian at Columbia University, has written extensively on modem and contemporary styles

and is a keen supporter of UW’s school of architecture. He will receive a Doctor of Environmental Studies and address convocation for graduates in engineering, environmental studies, independent studies, mathematics and science, beginning at 2 p.m. Peter Landsberg, a professor emeritus (at University of Southhampton in England, has had a long and distinguished career in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. He will receive a Doctor of Science. UW will also honour former president Douglas Wright with the title “President Emeritus.” As well, two retired faIculty members will be formally recognized as having received the title of “Distinguished Professor Emeritus”: Bernard Suits (philosophy) and Edmund Heier (Germanic and Slavic languages and literature. The title has also been awarded to Bryce Kendrick (biology), who will be unable to attend convocation.

Education students this weekend work around other obligations, while students already on campus often look to Distance Ed when course conflicts arise. Avril McVicar of the Distance Education department hopes that this annual event helps to “close the distance aspect” for off-campus students. A Course Fair on Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in Davis Centre is designed to introduce fellow students to one another and to instructors who are otherwise only a voice on tape. Also present at the event will be representatives of the library, mature student services and faculties that provide distance education.

For students still looking for textbooks, a new and used book sale will be held Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 12:3O p.m. Anyone interested in selling used textbooks should pick up a “sale kit” from the staff at the sale tables. Also note the Bookstore and UW Shop have extended hours for the open ‘house: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday only. For first year students or those who just want to be introduced to the campus, a walking tour wit1 be held at lo:30 a.m. starting at the Distance Education Reception Desk in the Davis Centre. Remember all are welcome at Open House ‘95. Go out and have a great time!

he fifteenth annual Terry Fox Run took place on Sunday, attracting 302 particiapants and raising approximately $22,3X&O in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. The run began and ended this year at UW’s Federation Hall. All of the money raised goes toward cancer research. This annual run for cancer research takes place in memory of Terry Fox, who ran part way across Canada to raise money for research before he himself was taken by the disease in 1980. The attendance this year was upfrom last year’s 260 people, who raised $20,025.63, in the KitchenerWaterloo region. Across Canada, nearly 2 10,000 people were involved in about 2000 events. Canadians this year raised more than $10 million for cancer research. The planning for this ten kilometre event, in which people cover the distance in whatever way they are able - walking, running, jogging, riding bicycles, or using wheel chairs or roller blades - began in May. Bill Pope, the co-ordinator for this region said that last year there were 3860 communities involved internationally, altogether raising $9.4 million. International figures for this year are not available yet as pledges keep coming in and the numbers keep changing. As was the case last year, on Sunday September 17th more than fifty five countries held a Terry Fox Run in memory of the brave and inspirational man who began the goal fifteen years ago.

THE ARTHRITIS SOCIETY cepts from the efficacy of home physiotherapy in managing rheumatoid arthritis to using antioxidants to prevent cell damage in cartilage. Many projects go unfunded because there is simply not enough

money to support them all, says Sheila Johnson, Executive Director of The Arthritis Society, Ontario division. The projects that have been funded by the Arthritis Society over the past 45 years have resulted in

many gcientific breakthroughs. “Doctors can now diagnose systemic lupus erythematosus at an early stage and rheumatic fever and gout and infectious arthritis can now be effectively controlled outside of a hospital setting. “Ourresearch dollars have also gone into developing artificial joints to replace th#ose destroyed by arthritis,” says Johnson. Throughout its history, the Arthritis Society has invested almost $80 million in creating and maintaining its arthritis research and treatment programs.

Provincial CEPA under review: Enacted in 1988, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) is Canada’s main environmental legislation. it’s intent is to protect the Canadian environment and human health from toxic pollution. It addresses such things as ocean dumping, transboundary waste, air pollution, biotechnology, enforcement and administration. CEPA hasn’t worked very we11 - on average, there are only about 10 prosecutions per year. In June, 1995, the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development released a report containing 14 1 recommendations to improve CEPA - many of the recommendations reflect proposals made by environmental groups. There is a great deal of concern around how emerging biotechnology will be treated by this piece of Iegislation. Many environmental groups, working through the Canadian Environmental Network, are actively involved with this issues - if you have xccss to the Web check out http://www.web.apc.org/users/ centox.

Student’s Now by Frank

Scglenieks

special to Imprint

n the past year there has been a small but important addition to the Student Life Centre designed as a way for students to make their voices heard: a video suggestion booth The booth was acquired last year under the leadership of Christine Dew hurst , former Vice President of Finance for the Federation of StudentsDubbed “Student’s Corner,” the video booth has been used by over 600 students since it was first delivered in January. Similar to the popular Speaker’s Comer outside of the CITY -TV building in Toronto, it costs nothing to leave a message at Student’s Comer. In these times of rising tuition and higher student costs across the board, it is time that students be given a greater say about how their money is spent and who makes the decisions. Student’s Corner was set up to allow this to happen by giving students an outlet to make their opin* ions heard.

Corner Free

The way to take advantage of this opportunity is to come down to the Student Life Centre, find the Video Booth (located beside a pillar near the Turnkey Desk) and push the big green button. You can then express yourself about anything you want. You can talk about campus politics, world politics, what the Federation of Students should be doing, what the campus needs, how your classes are going, or if you can’t think of anything just answer the weekly questions posted on the booth itself. Also popular last term were segments where people would ask questions like: “Where did the smoking room go?” This question was then answered by the interim manager of the Student Life Centre, who explained that the new smoking room was stili under construction. So if you have any questions for specific people on campus, you can also leave them at Student’s Comer. Every week the best clips will then be edited together and shown on the TV booth located beside the video booth in the Student Life

Centre. Just press the button on the TV booth and the current version of Student’s Comer will be played for you. Due to the location of the booth, many of the suggestions are from people who have had a few too many (this includes people complaining about being kicked out of the ‘Shelter and attempts to moon the camera), but I would like to improve the ratio of drunk to sober people and encourage people to use the booth when they are clear of mind and will leave intelligent comments. Still, there are usually too many suggestions to use them all every week and thus every suggestion left will not be shown. As well, the clips have to be edited so they comply with the university rules on harassment and decency. So once again I encourage everybody to come down and watch the latest version of Student’s Corner on the TV booth and then leave a message on the video booth.

elcome back to campus. If you haven’t dropped by already, please drop by the Fed office to pick up your handbook, say hello, ask a question, or pass on a concern. Whatever the reason, we welcome you. I’m sure you’re all extremely enthusiastic to learn about the external events that have been occurring over the summer months. The Federation of Students belongs to both a provincial and a national lobby group. On the provincial front, we are represented by a group called the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA). There are five member schools that belong to this group, including the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of Western Ontario, Brock University, and the University of Toronto Association of PartTime Undergraduate Students. Over the summer months, we have been working on several projects, including acampaign during the provincial election that focused on the theme, “When Universities Work, Ontario Works.” Most recently, we have completed our action plan for the year. This plan is very similar in struiture to the Feds action plan. The areas of emphasis for OUSA’s action plan include lnternal Policy, Internal Administration, Internal Communication, External Communication, and External Lobbying. Under each of these areas are outlined goals, activities, tasks, an outline of who is responsible, timelines and resources needed. If you would like to take a look at the action plan in detail, please drop by the Fed oftice. On the national front, we are represented by a group called the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA). CASA is an

alliance of I 1 student associations, collectively representing approximately 200,000 students. CASA’s mandate is to represent student interests on national educational issues. Apart from issues handled by the federal govemment, such as transfers and student loans, CASA is committed to working on such emerging issues as university rationalization, performance indicators, and credit transferability. Over the summer months, CASA has beeln busy lobbying the government on several issues. One of CASA’s successful efforts this summer was lobbying the government against an amendment to the Student Loans Act which would have included a clause to ultimately give the govemment the power to de-designate post-secondary education institutions from receiving loans if their reslpective default rates were higher than a set percent. As a result of CASA’s efforts, this amendment was sent back for re-examination and hence wasn’t introduced. CASA’s next major project is something known as the Real Choices Campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to promote real educational alternatives, specifically those contained in CASA’s forthcoming poiicy book. which will be an expanded version of the policies adopted on funding at the May CASA meeting. There are four parts to this document, including Government Funding of Education, Systems of Education, Re-Orienting our System of Higher Education, and New Sources of Funding for Higher Education. Students’ council will debate and vote whethler or not the Feds will support this document as a basis for the Real Choices Campaign on September 2’7th at 5:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room (SLC). If you are interested in a draft copy of this policy, please do not hesitate to drop by the Fed office.

Demand grows for Canadian co-op students in Japan by Patricia UW News

Bow Bureau

anadian students are living and working in Japan as part of a co-op program which by most measures is a resounding success. As the deadline for application to the next intake approaches, administrators are looking for more of the essentiai ingredient: good applicants, especially in science. Margaret Grosch, who serves as the University of Waterloo’s liaison to the program, says the students are in high demand, particularly those with a science specialty. This year, five positions had to be deferred to 1996 because not enough science students had applied to fill them. Successful applicants stand to gain valuable workplace experience and add impressively to their r&sum& while getting to know another culture at first fiand, Grosch said, adding that salaries are usually comparable to Canadian ones. Japan is the place to go for students interested in high technology, says Matthew Leung, a fourthyear computer science student, who returned last month from a stint with Advanced Telecommunications Research, a pure research company in Kyoto. His project, which related to “teaching computers how to apply users’ interests,” gave him a feeling ofwhat it would be like to do graduate work, he said. The concept of co-op university programs is new in Japan, and at first director Susan Huggett had a hard time convincing companies to participate. But over its four-year run the students have performed so well that demand has outstripped supply, Huggett. said. Forty Japanese companies are now taking part. Huggett, who administers the program from a centre at the University of Victoria, travels to Japan at least five times each year to visit companies and to touch base with the students. Applicants must be in their third or fourth year and have completed at least two four-month work terms. As well, they must be in science, computer science or engineering, and have at least a 75 per-cent average. They should also have completed one credit or two noncredit courses in Japanese language. The program is for undergraduates, but because of the demand for science specialists, administrators will consider master’s and PhD students in that field. Six UW students are in Japan now, Grosch said. Two are in computer science, while the others are studying biology, computer engineering, electrical engineering and systems design engineering. Two work at NTT., two at MitsubishiKagaku, one at Sony and one at Dai

Nippon Insatsu. There are two intakes each year. Deadlines are September 30 for the May 1996 start and January 30 for September 1996. A student applies to the program rather than to a partitular company. The program director forwards the student’s r&urn6 to five different Japanese companies and makes the placement based on the responses. Work terms last seven or eleven months, and before students head off to Japan they spend an extra month in Vancouver studying Japanese language and culture. The fee for tuition, room and board for the extra month is $500. In about half of the placements, Grosch said,

Imprint News wants you... weekly meetinrrs Friday, 12:30 p.m. Student Life Centre room 140

airfare is covered by the company. There are fewer applicants now than in the early years of the program, when interest was very high. Grosch attributes this falling off partly to the length of the work terms. Students who spend eight to 12 months in the Japan program may find they graduate later than their classmates, she said, At its start in 199 1 as a threeyear pilot project, four universities were involved, UW among them. The four have since grown to 17. in March a new three-year contract was signed with Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, which funds the program.

Professors out of touch by David Imprint

Drewe stafr

Carleton University professor has concluded that universities in Canada are hampered in their mission by the age of their professors. According to Professor Edward Renner, 61% of faculty were born before the year 1945. Less than three% were born after 1960. Renner enunciated the effect this has by stating that he used to enjoy the stimulating atmosphere universities once provided, but adding that, “Now, they’re one of the most boring places to be.” Renner believes that while universities used to be places where students learned for the sake of learning, today’s students are motivated by jobs, and are looking for training. Renner even refers to aging professors as part of the problem.

He suggests generous retirement packages to make room fcbr younger professors who are more in touch with student needs. Some university officials agreed, noting that older professors are more expensive to maintain, and that students often feel more comfortable with profissors near their own age. Other officials took issue with Renner’s conclusions. A senior representative of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) referred to them as “balderdash. ” The ViceProvost of the University of Toronto noted that some of his university’s most valued professors are among the most senior. The CAUT also noted that massive early retirement schemes may not fiee the money necessary to rehire new professors. -with

micrometres and a microscope objective for high resolution imaging of small areas of the specimens. “This combination is perfect forquality control applications, and several application areas have been investigated,” IIixon said. Biomedica.1 applications range from imaging single cells to whoIe organs. Fluorescence imaging of large specimens embraces the fluorescent gels used in gene sequencing (a 7.5 cm by 7.5 cm area of a fluerescent gel can be digitized in 25 seconds). Protein gels can be digitized and displayed in five seconds, Dixon said. “Whole insects can be imaged in reflected light or auto-fluorescence by perfobrming a series of confocai s&s, and then constructing a true 3-D image in the computer.” Forensic applications include latent fingerprint detection and infrared imaging of documents for detecting forgeries, as well as imaging fluorescent gels for DNA fingerprinting and imaging 3-D objects like footprints, shell casings and builets.. As well, the instrument is useful for these semiconductor applications: Optical Beam Induced Current testing ofdetectors and solar cells, photoluminescence imaging of Compound Semiconductor wafers and epitaxial layers, and photoluminescence imaging of porous silicon material and devices. Materials science applications take in imaging paper fibres and coatings, etectro-chemical reactions on surfaces, and machined or micromachined Iparts. Dixon said that new apphcations under investigation include fluorescence imaging for cancer detection and high resolution confocal imaging of large specimens that will require images up to 10,000 by 10,000 pixels that were previously only obtainable by forming a montage of scanning laser microscope images. The MACROscope was developed as part of an operating and strategic grants program funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Researchers from UW, University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario and Princess Margaret Hospital were involved in the work.

He’s one of the United States most dangerous criminals, a serial killer for the past 17 years, and he’s coming to a media outlet near you. Calling himself the “Unabomber,” he’s yet another in a long line of self-righteous idealists who’ll do anything to get their point across. He likes to mail letter bombs, and he’s amassed a tidy little body bag of fatalities and injured. His beef? Apparently, “The industrial Revolution and its consequences” for the human race. The Unabomber believes we’re going to wipe ourselves out, create a Furbidden Planet for real, so he’s here to save us from ourself. This past week, he demanded The Washingtun POSC and The .New York Times print in full his 35,000 word screed, calling for a worldwide revolution against technology. He claimed that he’d cease bombing remembering, of course, his 17 year campaign - should the two organizations comply. Unbelievably, both media outlets, the two most prestigious newspapers in America, did comply. Supposedly reluctantly, although the sales figures generated might suggest otherwise. Not surprisingly, howls of protests have come from media critics and insiders alike. All terrorists know the implicit value and control of the media, so the theory goes that copycat terrorists will be following suit and putting guns to the media in order to advance their personal manifestos. The whole scenario reminds me of The King of Comedy, the mid-80s black comedy directed by Martin Scorcese. The anti-hero Rupert Pupkin, played by Robert DeNiro, is a deluded schmuck convinced that he’s prime time stand-up comic material. The guy’s a pathetic loser and nobody in the biz is giving him the time of day, so he decides to force his agenda a little by kidnapping the host of a popular late night TV show in order to get his taste of prime time. 1 think somewhere along the line, we, the audience, really want him to pull it off, because he’s really just a harmless putz who wants a break. And moreso, you want to believe that, just maybe, he’s not so crazy after all and that he actually deserves one. Some people probably feel the same about the Unabomber. He isn’t the first person to scream about Doomsday though, nor will he be the last. But other nuts haven’t ever received unedited 35,ooO word print runs in the most important newspapers in the U.S. The message here is that terrorism dues in fact prevail. The precedent has been cast. It won’t come as any surprise should we see more of the same,

rowsing the inside of Needles Hall during co-op interviews is like standing in the hull of an airplane about to drop its load of skydivers. There are the experienced divers who know what they are doing. Their professional aura makes the process appear routine or even boring. At the other end of the spectrum are the rookies wondering what is going on. Questions like, “What am I trying to mould myself into?” “Why are appearances so important?” or “Will I be good at landing?’ may be accompanied by fear. Between these two groups are a wide range of people with at least one goal in common: to jump into the workforce and land in a good spot. So what’s wrong with that? We all need to eat and to save for school. We all need extra money for the things we like to do. If you are planning for the long term, then the co-op system is an excellent platform for establishing personal economic security. A lot of beneficial career goals can be realized this way, However, there is an important distinction that can be made by asking, “What’s a healthy career goal” and “What isn’t?’ The fu-st criterion that comes to mind is money. That’s what getting a job is all about, right? Another thing to consider would be job satisfaction. Find the job that’s right for you. I’ll talk about the money momentarily, but first “job satisfaction.” This will likely happen if you can be yourself in your work.

or People? Unfortunately, this is hard to do not only in co-op, but in the professional job market at large. Remember that question the rookie skydiver asks: “What am I trying to mould myself into?” In order to get a job we must present an aesthetically impeccable r&urn6 that makes us look as good as possible without lying. In interviews we must present ourselves as “The best person for the job,” whether the job’s criteria fit us or not. The person we act out in the interview is at most a small compartment of ourselves; an assertive communicator, garbed in a suit, who is “Right for the job.” There’s more. When a rookie skydiver jumps out of the plane, he or she is in no condition to be him/herself. In fact, that person is freaking out while trying to balance in the “air” of the co-op interview. Even if you truly do “fit,” how often will an interviewer be able to tell? But the main thing that makes being yourself difficult, in this scenario, is the underlying system. Co-op exists to teach people about a cultural system built mainly on the shoulders of extremely large corporations: corporations whose goals have more to do with quarterly profit and loss statemants and market share values than with the personal satisfaction of their employees. So what’s wrong with a corporate air force that makes money? After all, we need it to support ourselves. In this capacity it works pretty well.

But, the one big case where this air force is not beneficial is when it eclipses other important things. If the sole goal of every co-op student and corporate employee was to make money, this monolithic approach to business that must treat people like pegs (or be lost in the competition), would be fine. The thing is, people are more than just producers and consumers. We all have a wealth of outlets and gifts, many of which have little to do with money. One suggestion might be to work at something you can live with to give you enough money to support Iyourself and your outlets. Why use your gifts to make bundles of cash for a big business? What else can we do? For one thing, we can understand what we are doing as co-op students. If we are going to jump out of an airplane, let’s do it not because we’re stuck in a regimented moneymaking air force, but because we really want to. Not only that, but before the jump we can make sure we have a parachute that fits well enough to let us land in a place where our gifts are worth something. With

I recently received my “Application to vote by mail” from Elections Quebec to vote in the upcoming referendum. There are two documents that are required for proof of eligibility that must mention (Quoted from the application form itselF): 1. At least the name, date of birth and Canadian citizenship 2. At least the name and address At no point in the application form does it state that document #2 must have an address IN QUEBEC. In fact, the wording of the application makes it seem like they want a document with your current address outside Quebec. I was fortunate because my mother called to check on this and found out that indeed, the address needs to be in Quebec. I find this very disturbing for two reasons: 1. By the time most applications are received and processed, it will probably be too late to resubmit with the correct documentation. 2. To me it seems fairly likely that those Quebeckers living outside of Quebec are more likely to vote NO in the upcoming election. So the question remains, was this a deliberate act to try and get as few votes as

Embarrassing

Excuse To the Editor, Chris McGrath felt it necessary to write a nasty “I didn’t do it” news article about his butchering of the shoddy handbook in Imprint (September 15) and I feel compelled to respond. The only thing Mr. McGrath has accomplished in his “news” piece is show that he shouldn’t accept any responsibility for how the handbook has turned out. Instead he would have us believe it was the “professionals at Quebecor” who tarnished the handbook right from the beginning. One only need to look at the production of the handbook to realize that Quebecor couldn’t possibly be responsible for all of the numerous screw-ups, Was it Quebecor who poorly organized the placement of ads with way too much white-space surrounding them; wrote endlessly about fed businesses (most of which nobody will read;) and photographs that look as if they’d been photocopied onto the page? T think Mr.

IMPRINT

McGrath, as the so-called Editor, is primarily responsible for the butchering of simple layout and organization. From my understanding of the mishaps that occured over the summer it seemed that as deadlines were coming up, the handbook was simply a rushed job which was a frustrating experience for other volunteers working at this project. Can this also be blamed on the “professionals at Quebecor?” It really sucks when things don’t turn out the way you plan them, but pointing the finger isn’t quite appropriate when the mistakes surrounding this year’s handbook go way beyond a few misprinted pages. Mr. McGrath should take the responsibility of Editor seriously and self-critique the embarassing excuse of a handbook that he created.

Remember the WMA TO the Editor, With just over a month until the Quebec referendum, Canadians, and the Canadian government, are acting in a surprisingly reasonable manner - they’re ignoring the whole goddamn mess. Unlike the torturously boring Meech

Lake accord coverage, this referendum is essentially a non-issue, as well it should be. Canadians shouldn’t be paying any attention to Parizeau, Bourassa or their hordes of political blackmailers anymore than they should pay attention to the threats of other psycho-loonies threatening to break away from Canada. Hey, Parizeau, this whole referendum thing is old hat. You ha.d your chance and you lost. The simple fact is that your magical candy-land of sovereignty-association (waming: oxymoron alert) will never work, and if you think that any government will ever accept the terms of your referendum (i.e. keep all the benefits of living in Canada, but accept none of the res,ponsibility) you must be joking. The continued belligerence of Quebec has been a thorn in the side of Canada for long enough. Concessions such as Bill 187 are massivecompromises., and the time has come to say enough is enough. When the “No” vote comes back, the federal government will be more than justified in completely ignoring any future sovereignty claims by Quebec. Canadians are a placid, compromising, nice people, but even nice people can be pushed too far. I haven’t brought it up before, but just so you know that we can be as hostile as you take so much pride in being, let me just say, remember the Wiu Measures Act. -Jumes Custle, 4N Philusophy

IMPRINT,

The groans at the bookstore continued last week as students lined up to max out their credit cards, debit cards or chequing accounts. Textbooks and their accompanying costs are a necessary evil at university. But when our professors profit frotn these evils, we tend to question this necessity. Terms such as “conflict of interest” were bandied about last week as students remarked that some of their professors had written their texts or were profiting from the course note packages. At first glance, this seems to be appropriately righteous indignation stemming from professors profiting directly from their students and possibly abusing their position. Upon closer examination, however, it seems a bit hasty to condemn them. Textbooks are a necessary component of an education. For university courses, university professors are usually the most qualified people available to write them, as they know what topics are required in a given specialty at a given level, especially ifthey teach at that level. They are, of course, not the only people who should write textbooks, as there may be others with the expertise necessary either in industry or otherwise outside of academia that might be in a position to help students. So, having established that professors are not overstepping their duties when they write these texts, it becomes a question of whether or not the product is worthy enough to be used in a course. In the case of course notes, these packages are often needed to amalgamate information that might otherwise be spread across a number of existing but ultimately more cxpensive publications or textbooks. Superfluous material is also quickly recognized for what it is in notes packages, so there is not much padding. As for the profit-making potential for the professor, this is clearly limited by the low-price nature of these packages. For the most part, these course notes probably save students money and aggravation in compiling information and other miscellaneous needs together quite efficiently. Students don’t tend to gripe about these though, since there are not many sixty dolIar course notes packages. Hardcover textbooks and others with prices in the stratosphere make the situation a bit more complicated. If professors write a big, expensive textbook and it gets published, there is probably a market outside of their particular university for the book, since production

Friday, September 22, 1995

runs must bc large enough to be profitable and avoid pricing books outside of the range that even students are forced to pay. If others outside of the university are using a book for their courses, chances are better that it is good. For once, the economics seem to be on the students’ side to some extent. Now you are using your professor’s book: in class. Is there a conflict of interest? Definitely. Is it something to worry about? Well, yes and no. Yes, because wc should be suspicious when the professor is creating his or her own guaranteed market for the book. The book should defmi tely come under close scrutiny from the students. However, there is no need to set up committees to review every textbook for appropriateness. Course evaluations are our means to comment on every aspect of a course, so if the textbook is shitty and you think it’s being used just because the professor or his or her buddy wrote it, you can say as much. More directly, one of the ethics bodies on campus would likely be available to hear any concerns. There is reason for concern, but there are means at our disposal to deal with them, even if they do move with glacial speed at times. That said, any professor who sugg:tssts in all but the most facetious manner that the students should not buy his or her textbook at the lJsed Bookstore should bc, well, shot on sight. A professor who lays a guilt trrp on you for not dccpcni~lg his or her products is not serving the best interests ofhis c’ustotncrs (the stidcnts- I have to use to USC the market tcr-minology that is now in vogue since the Harris govurntnCr\t came to pow@.

Textbooks are overpriced and I’m sure that a revealing investigation of the whole business would be quite sickening. Worst of all, this analysis does not include any Chomskyesquc theories about professors, publishing houses and the atl-encompassing rni litary-industrial complex conspiring to funnel student money to the insert-ThirdWorld-civil-walr-or-peasant-uprising-of-your-choice-here.

Are Native Canadians getting awav with too much? d

here is a social taboo regarding the discussion of the numerous problems surrounding indigenous people in Canada, and quite frankly it’s starting to piss me off. It has become nearly impossible to challenge any action by the indigenous people because of the century long guilt of stealing their land. I simply can’t buy that argument anymore and am growing more frustrated with being forced into a burden of guilt of living on land that was appropriated from the indigenous people of Canada. Even if one believes that all of Canada was literally stolen from the original inhabitants of Canada, should we then support any and Isu actions by native Canadians to reacquire that land, no matter how violent, no matter how wrong? If the answer is yes, then we are simply agreeing that violence and force are suitable methods of acquiring land - and if that’s the case, then we are now operating under the “might makes right” maxim which makes the original FrenchCanadians perfectly in the right when they “stole” the land. Canadians can talk the talk about wiping out French Canadians because of their attempts to break up the “true north strong and free,” but talking about the problems surrounding indigenous people appears to be quite an&her matter. co you really think that the Canadian Government will idly watch the break-up of this great country? I sure hope not. Just like they can’t continue to sit on the

fence with the growing problems facing indigenous people. The shit is hitting the fan with increasing incidents of civil disobedience, and the freedom fighter faction of the indigenous people continue with guerrilla warfare so the threat will always be there. And why shouldn’t they continue in this way

The simple fact is that, dare I say it, Native Canadians

can be wrong. -

Canadians

is right, and I just don’t

see anyone saying that. -they’ve got nothing to lose. Their spirituality is beyond this life so in dying they become martyrs to the cause to secure “their” land. They don’t trust their leaders, who have no control over the actions of the frustrated, and the debate just continues to rage about what is fair and who is getting the raw deal. I can sympathize with the problems that indigenous people have with our govern-

these threats of violence that are the real terrorism, though. Indigenous people are talking with violent action, but we’re not talking back. It’s this taboo that criticising the natives is wrong and the proper response should always be “I’m all for native rights but it’s (point finger at some faction of government now) problem.” Let me remind you that you

are the government. We should be asking them “What the fuck is going on!” Obviously, negotiations with Native Canadians are going mind-numbingly slow, but surely a slow, peaceful negotiation is preferrable to a violent conclusion leading to the loss of lives. The simple fact is that, dare I say it, Native Canadians can be wrong. Yes, it’s true, not every claim by Native Canadians is right, and I just don’t see anyone saying that. I’m not advocating that sides need to be taken, but there are sides, and there are different ways of looking at them - especially in a university where ou minds haven’t yet been shackled to the political structures of a future employer. Here, we should be able to discuss issues that Canadians are constantly reminded of through violent upheaval. Because of the burden of guilt, and the threat of being labelled a racist, or unsympathetic to “what we did to them” we are creating a barrier of silence against any discussion. I’m just saying it shouldn’t be a social taboo to criticize. If you want to say indigenous people are taking advantage of Canada’s guilty conscience, it’s your right to express that thought without being subject to a knee-jerk response from those who believe that native Canadians simply can do no wrong.

Experiment in Redundancy: The New Democratic Party Leadership

When discussing politics, especially Canadian politics, we often bring up the unnecessary. This is not a problem , but one of the many intriguing facets of our political system. The latest of these unnecessary events is the leadership race of the New Democratic Party. It would seem that a batch of of NDP politicians have decided to become the figurehead for the party. You, the reader, are now asking yourself “why is this redundant?” Very simply, their platform has,

now, no relevance to the politics of Canada today. This is not a total write-off of the NDP, but just a temporary one. Their are reasons for this: 1. The media coverage has been minimal. When a major, federal political party that has been an important influence in the Canadian landscape gets only a small blurb in the newspapers or a three minute blurb on the news, one can see its dying throes in the public light. 2. Their plutfurm has no rel-

evance in today’s society. People today are not looking for a party that will fight for the rights of the worker, but one that gets them back to work and keeps them working. For any party to advocate this, they must be willing to make budget cuts, tax reductions, andother incentives to stimulate investment in our comatose economy. This platform has never been and never will be one of the NDP. Even if they were to adopt this stance now, they would hardly seem credible, especially to big

business (their traditional enemy). Their platform seems so out of sync with the neo-Conservatism of the western world. Socialists look out of place and are overshadowed by the Harrises, Doles, Gingriches, and Mannings of the present day. Canadian people would more likely pay attention to Ralph Klein than to the “unforgiveable” Bob Rae, creator of the hated Social Contract. 3. Their ieadership candidates ure lack lustre. Some of these candidates I have never heard of, and even when I did

Friday, September 22, 1995

Federal Race hear their namies, I instantly forgot them. The only one that I do remember is Sve:nd Robinson. You might of heard of him. He’s the gay MP from British Columbia who supported the Sue Rodriguez euthanasiacase. You’re saying to yourself, “gay, euthanasia - that’s lacklustre!” WeIl, yes it is. Other than being gay and what we know where he stands on euthanasia, what else do we know about him...? Where does he stand on the more pressing tissues in Canada of 1995? The Quebec Referendum? Deficit reduction? Native issues? Getting people back to work? We could allso surmise that the Honourable Member Robinson will have as much chance of being elected Prime Minister because he’s gay as an Afro-American woman has of becoming the President of the United States. For the felderal New Democratic Party to ever have a chance of being elected into office they need a leader more charismatic than the controversial Svend Robinson. For example, the feNderal Liberal party came into power partly because of their leader, Jean Chretien. He was experienced, had served under another popular leader (Pierre Trudeau), and had a unique but likeable personality. As mentioned before, I’m not totallly writing off the New Democrats, but it would seem that their place in the Canada of 1995 is redundant. But who knows, 1996 is a whole new year.

possibly sounds a little bit convoluted, but it’s true all the same. I simply had to get to Cape Breton Island. The reason can simply be put down to Robert Frank. 1 hadn’t travelled anywhere for years. Most of my escapes beyond the confines of Waterloo had been reduced to a universe of images, and the best of these l’d found in the photographs of Frank. I’d grown fond of his work the past handful of years. At first mildly fascinated, I later became consumed by the way he could take the most fleeting of everyday moments and objects, and charge them with fantastic degrees of psychic energy and meaning. But like his photographs, Frank has long remained a mystery to me, and I’ve always wanted to ask him any number of questions. Like, for instance, Why Mabou? - his home of the past decade or so. Frank is an enigma. You can start with his earliest photographs, those of his homeland of Switzerland, shot in an exquisitely professional style - big camera, big negs - that provide little insight into the mind of the photographer beyond the cheeriness of a high-gloss tour&y calendar. Pretty pictures, and during WWII yet. Then the post-war Frank. Having discovered a freedom with his portable 35mm Leica, Frank embarked on a journey that would bring him to the company of Jack Kerouac and the Beats. America, France, Spain, Wales, England... and of course, again, as always, America. With The Americans, Frank produced what stands today, argu-

ably, as the greatest photo essay of all time, a visionary masterpiece. Frank’s 50s America was stark and unforgiving, and many critics, particularly those of the subject nation, were reviled. Regardless, we never saw things the same way again. And neither, one presumes, did Frank. Things began getting strange for Frank sometime in the 70s. There was his legendary film Cocksucker Blues, an unexpurgated behind-thescenes look at the Rolling Stones, which never saw the light of day. And then there’s his move to Mabou. At Mabou, in Inverness County, Cape Breton Island, Frank hermetically sealed himself off from society. Having travelled through many parts of the world, he settled, dispossessed, in Cape Breton. The surface of his Mabou photographs are confusing to fans, reflecting what appears to some are inner demons. Most of the released images are dispassionate enough, but Frank’s mature workintroduced sinister elements - words. And not just any words, but words like “HOPE,” and “FAITH,” written in manic pre-kindergarten scrawl and inducing feelings of sheer terror and dread. Always, there was Mabou. So with Frank’s images in mind, I’ve long sought a pilgrimmage to Cape Breton Island. Alas, when thechance presented itself, I knew exactly where I was going - to Mabou.

ince most of the assorted Nova Scotia tourist bureau information suggested a clockwise journey of the Cabot Trail, I felt in incumbent to do otherwise. For a start, it was high vacation season, and for another, a clockwise journey of the island’s jewel

and Lobster

attraction would logically dictate my circumnavigating the island and the Bras d’Or lakes via the same direction. I reasoned that since one drives on the right side of the road, one wants to be closer to the coast; so counter-clockwise it was. But mostly, the direction would leave the Mabou part of the trip to right near the end. One approaches Cape Breton Island by road from the mainland at the Canso Causeway. It becomes readily apparent that inasmuch as Cape Breton Island is a part of Nova Scotia, the locals are first and foremost Cape Breton Islanders. Such is the fierce pride and indomitable spirit of the homesteaders here, that one is easily inclined to think of the island as it’s own quite vastly separate region, quite unlike most of the rest of Nova Scotia to the south. The towns on the journey are

but now merely postcards, but each of them has their own story. Big Pond, on the East Bay of Bras d’Or, is as tiny a town as imaginable, but better known as the home of Rita’s Tea Room. Rita MacNeil’s roadside tea room, nestled in an old reconstrusted school house, is quite the curiosity. Hundreds of tourists waiting in line to gobble up Rita’s overpriced tea and souvenir junk testify to the girth of the Cape Breton entertainer’s mass popularity. Fandom at it’s ugliest, the cash cow tea room is made particularly worse because the rest of the island prices itself unselfconsciously as one of the most affordable destinations anywhere. The tourists flock, taking snapshots of Ma’s snapshots hanging on the wall of Rita with all her friends, including Alannah Myles and the Barenaked Ladies. If it wasn’t for the fact that all of the tea room’s employees all resemble the grand lady, perhaps a little too closely for comfort, I’d say avoid at all costs. Those with roots in Waterloo ard compelled to visit Glace Bay, on the north-east coastline. It seems that everybody locally knows someone who’s origins lay with the famed coal centre. Sadly, much of the town is in decline, much of the coal industry having dried up years ago, The houses are but dark reminders of days gone by; unlike the rest of the island, weather-beaten weatherboards on the houses remain unpainted and in decay. Save the Coal Miners Museum and the old Marconi lab on Table Head, there’s not much left of Glace Bay+ Without a doubt, the highlight for many on Cape Breton Island is the legendary Cabot Trail, especially the extensive stretches which skirt the Highlands National Park. There’s no denying the beauty of

Pots

the coastline on both sides. But for all that, the secret of the Cabot Trail is the beauty lying beyond it’s upper extremities, specifically in the region of Calpe North, northward to St. Margaret Village, Bay St. Lawrence, the cape itself, and further to the brutishly named Meat Cove. These locales, with the rugged grandeur of the sea scapes and crashing hills, the credit unions that appear for all intents to be tool sheds, the gorgeously coloured lobster boats and modest homes, and the abundant number of visible whales and bald eagles, capture the spirit of the island as best as any. Most characteristic are the ‘%keOuts,” the fish’n chips shops, nutritionists nightmares ail. These stores don’t look to have done any wonders to the islanders typically fleshy and pallid appearances. Ch&ica.mp, on the western side of the island and trail, moves one closer to Inverness County and the settlements of Mabou, home to Frank and the Rankins. Chkticamp is a remaining Acadian town, and it’s here where one starts to feel the spirit of Frank, the spirit of the dispossessed. It’s also the home of Joe’s Drive In, an absurdist collection of about a hundred scarecrows, all masked and idly standing in the face of a ferocious onslaught ofcontinuously recycled Acadian jigs. A scene straight out of The Twilight Zone, Joe’s is one of the most sinister and unsettling places I have ever visited. Perhaps appropriately. In the end, 1 never did stop at Mabou, I just kept on moving.Only minutes prior I was warned off, witnessing a pair in a car with Nova Scotian plates throwing pop cans out onto thle Cabot Trail; then seconds later, a haunting auto fatality. Both, clearly, were fatalistic signs to keep moving. For the old man’s sake, I did.

he 20th annual St. Jerome’s College Charity Run is fast approaching. Running from September 23, 1995 to October 1, 1995, this year’s Charity Run promises to be a time of fun and excitement for everyone involved.

In 1976, two students at St. Jerome’s College decided it was time to begin giving back to the community which had become their home away from home. Twenty years and$85,000 later, St Jerome’s College, along with the J.R. Finn and Notre Dame College residences, continues to uphold the Charity Run tradition. Charity Run was set up to raise funds to help support a local charity in need of assistance. Fundraising events take place during the week leading up to the run. The actual run is a 48 hour continuous relay around Ring Road. The run is symbolic in nature and, as such, no funds are collected through the run. The Global

Commtnity

Centre

This year, the SJC Charity Run Committee has chosen the Global Community Centre as the charity to benefit from their fundraising efforts. Established since 1974, the Global Community Centre is a local charity in need of financial assistance. Through their work, the Global Community Centre heightens awareness, promotes understanding, and participates in change. The Global Community Centre promotes social and economic justice in the world through understanding and action. They provide information about world issues and related domestic topics and foster links between people locally, nationally, and globally. Dealing with Third World countries, their focus is on Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The people who benefit from the services that the Global Community Centre are as numerous and varied as the services provided. Some people benefit from being able to use their centre and its

materials. These people include members of the community, educaters, church members, and, of course, students ( in particular, UW students). Others benefit from the Centre by being on the receiving end of their assistance. Among the services provided by the Global Community Centre are periodical subscriptions, up-todate, hard to find information on current Third World Issues, thousands of clippings filed by subject/ country/region and numerous books, videos, slides, and filmstrips. The Global Community Centre also hosts, among other things, guest speakers, workshops, public debates, film screenings, and conferences for information purposes. The Centre benefits not only the Kitchener-Waterloo community, but many others.

Offence improves but defense fails Warriors in loss to Windsor by Kimberly Imprint staff

Moser

he good news for the University of Waterloo Warriors’ football squad is that things can only get better. The bad news is that they’re O-2 after losing to the University of Windsor Lancers 3 8-29 on Saturday and now face their biggest game of the season, against the University of Toronto Varsity Blues. “It’s a HUGE game!” says tailback Jarrett Smith of the Warriors’ match-up at Toronto’s Varsity Stadium tomorrow, “I think it’s the biggest game of the year for us right now, since we’re in the position that we are. If we lose against Toronto we’re in a lot of trouble. And I think that everyone realizes it. We can beat Toronto, we just have to stay focused.” “We’re in a situation right now, that we are backing ourselves into a corner,” said. . head- coach .- -,. .* _+ .-s Dave a. “‘l’utty” Knight atter Saturday I s loss * “If we continue to do this we’ll be out of the playoffs before we get started.” The Warriors definitely don’t want that.

This team is not about to lay over and play dead. They have the talent to make this season a success. Against Windsor, the Warriors’ offence improved dramatically, gaining 417 yards, an improvement from

last week’s 112-yard performance. Watertoo rushed for 255 yards and had 170 yards in the air. Back-up quarterback Ryan Wilkinson had an incredible game as he came into the second and fourth quarters for starter Kevin Danschinko, who was injured early on in the game. Wilkinson connected eight of his 13 passes for 136 yards and had one touchdown. He was also the Warrior’s leading rusher on the day with 102 yards, highlighted by a 61 -yard touchdown run. The only chink in Wilkinson’s armour was two interceptions. “It was his opportunity to step in and contribute,” said Waterloo’s outspoken captain Adrian Thorne of Wilkinson’s performance. “He did his job and he got it done. Bottom line is, he took advantage of a situation and he made good.” Wilkinson is a little more rough on himself. “Personally, I thought 1 did alright. 1 made a few errors that I shouldn’t have made because I wanted to do too much. I didn’t concentrate on the things that really needed to be done, but I hope to improve on it if given the chance again.” And it looks like Wilkinson will be given that opportunity. With his performance Saturday, the seriousness of and Danschinko’s injury, Wilkinson could get the starting nod. “We won’t know until Saturday,” says coach Knight of the possibility of Wilkinson starting tomorrow’s game. “But, he did an outstanding Windsor and job against Danschinko’s got a hip pointer.” Defensively, the Warriors had some trouble Saturday.

on six carries.

ter a fantastic performance against Western last week, Waterloo’s defense lacked its usual dominance. “Defensively, we went backwards. I think we played one of our worst games since I coached here,” said Knight. Windsor gained 5 18 yards in total offense with Chris Moore’s 2 12 yards on the ground. Obviously, this is not the type of performance the players or coaches were hoping for this weekend. However, it might just be a blessing in disguise, as the team now realizes it needs a great performance on both sides of the ball to be successful this season. Special teams had an up and down day on Saturday. Snapper Rob Fawcett was perfect this week, proving last week’s mistakes were just a fluke. Punter Matt Armstrong was also outstanding, as he averaged 40 yards on six punts, nailing a 6%yarder. Field goals were a different story. The usually steady Arek Bigos missed three consecutive field goals that could have made a difference in the game. Bigos has been a reliable kicker over the past three years and should rebound this week. “We’re playing better offensively, but we’ve got to stay on the field a lot Ionger,” says Smith of the improvements the Warriors need to make for tomorrow. “We need to take advantage of the big plays. We’ve just got to get together as a team, improve offensively and d.efensively in the same week and g:et back to where we were last year, because we have a good team and a lot of good players.” Cheer on the Warriors tomorrow as they take on Toronto at 3:00 p.m. at Varsity Stadium, or check them out as they return home next Saturday to play the McMaster Marauders at University Stadium.

C ros s-country ru nn ,ers hit the trails by Jason Gregoire special to Imprint

his past Saturday saw the Warrior and Athena Cross-Country teams make the trip to Guelph for the first meet of the season. With the return of only a few veterans and a whole crop of running rookies, there was an air of uncertainty over how well the teams would perform. The races included university competition from Guelph, Toronto, York, Brock, Trent, Laurier, and of course, Waterloo. Under sunny skies and seasonably warm temperatures, the Athenas hit the trails first for a 4.1 km race through the Arboretum at the University of Guelph. Lead by 4th year team veteran and captain, Judith “look at those abs!” Leroy, the team placed a very respectable 2nd overall, behind only the team from Guelph. Judith, who has been injured much of the summer, showed that cross training, pool running, and being race hungry can make up for a lack of mileage, as she finished with a time of 14:43, second only to a Guelph runner. In her first ever race with the team, Kim Lawgton, who has just returned from a season of international cycling in Europe, placed 5th overall, thereby showing great promise for the coming season. Also, squeaking into the top 10 was 3rd year runner Cheryl Turner, placing 9th. After a summer of Orienteering, it was somewhat refreshing to know that Cheryl didn’t get lost out there on the course! Also scoring for Waterloo were a couple of varsity swim team recruits, Tereza Mace1 and Amy Jarvis, placing 22nd and 24th respcctively. Doing triathlons all summer made this 4.1 km race seem like an easy jog for these two...ok, maybe not! Apparently, Amy, not used to encountering trees in the pool, ran into one on the course, So if you see her on campus don’t make any remarks about the bruise on her forehead! Rounding out the Athenacontingent were Denise Thody and Michelle Bosma, placing 29th and 46th respectively. The men took to the trails next for an 8km romp in the Arboretum. With 18 men competing for spots on the racing team, it was

certain that there would be some intra as well as inter-team competition. Lead by 5th year team veteran, Jason “The Jaguar” Gregoire, the Warriors won the team competition just ahead of the team from Toronto. The Jaguar was more than ready to go after an early summer injury forced him to not race all season and simply prepare for Varsity Cross-Country. In edging out a club runner for the victory in a 40 second personal best time of 24:32, the Jaguar showed that he is back with a roar! Returning for his second season, Brett ‘Kitty” Kilty placed a respectable 16th. Apparently, too many keggers over the summer ha the Kitty somewhat but a few weeks of solid training should bring out feeling

In the battle for the remaining spots on the racing team were: Jonathon Martin in 24th place, Cord Kenny in 27th, and a flurry of other Warriors right behind (Michael Tripp, 3 1st; Jeff Irwin, 32nd; Chris Watson, 33rd).

Te nnis Warriors start out slow by Stephen Ailberg special to Imprint season is now underway at the University of Waterloo, and this year’s men’s team is looking to improve on last season’s disappointing sixthplace finish. With over 50 players trying out for only eight spots, and only five days to make the cuts, choosing the team was extremely difflcult. However, coaches Dennis Long and Marten Johnson f’eel they have put together the best team possible. The team has only three returning players this year, and because of this lack of experience, Long considers this season to be a rebuilding stage once again. However, he is not counting his team out of the playoffs yet. The team is composed of the returners, captains Stephen Ahlberg and Peter Worthing, as well as Jose Hernandez, and five rookies: David Markin, Zeno Faur, Gavin Forbes, Joe Michalko and Ben Chen. This past weekend, the Warriors were up against two top teams from York and

Queen’s and were hoping to win at least 6 of the possible 14 matches. Of the five singles matches, Waterloo could only manage one victory against Queen’s and were shut out against York. Ahlberg had the lone victory. Markin, Faur, and Ahlberg were all involved in exciting three set matches, but only Ahlberg was able to pull his out in a third-set tiebreaker. In the four doubles matches, the Warriors went l-3 with only the team of Markin and Ahlberg pulling out a win against York

season by Claus Burmeister special to Imprint ast Saturday, the UW men’s soccer team faced Windsor in their home opener. The result of the coin toss gave Waterloo an early advantage. The Lancers were facing the elements: the sun, the wind, and of course, 11 serious Warriors. The teams fought for 60 minutes before either could produce a goal. The Warriors would draw first blood. Defensive midfielder Daniel Besu cracked a high volley from 20 yards out. The Windsor goalie misplayed the ball and the rebound came directly to Claus Burmeister. He made no mistake and nodded the ball into the back of the net. However, the celebrations were cut short as the Lancers equalized. The missed opportunities in the first half by Waterloo proved costly as Windsor capitalized on two more chances in the second half. The Warriors were handed their first defeat. Make the final

The Warriors are expecting much better results because they are facing the two known “cellardwellers” of the league. If Waterloo wins 12 of 14 matches, they will be right back in the playoff hunt.

The game ended in a 2-2 tie. Last Wednesday, the Warriors lost 2- I to the Toronto Varsity Blues. Waterloo hung in tough against the Blues, who dominatecl the first half. Matt Arkete scored the lone goal with the assist from Luigi Casasanta. The second half was a different story. Waterloo outplayed the Blues but were unable to score, despite some great opportunities in the last 20 minutes. Warrior Jeff Bow:man had an outstanding game after taking one year off. Soccer fans can gel their fix this Sunday , Sept. 24 at 1 p.m. Come watch Waterloo kick some Brock butt! For the Athenas on Saturday, Raylene Driscoll scored the lone goal in a 2-l loss. The Athenas were strong defensively against Windsor but were unable to come up with any goals to take the lead. Saturday’s loss was also unfortunate as Waterloo’s Kelly Moore was injured during the game and will be out of action for several weeks. Sunday the Athenas were disappointed once again as they lost 2-1 to Guelph. The Athenas, who have been plagued by injuries since training camp, have been left short on the bench as they are forced to put many rookies on the field.

mark of the second half. However, the overall Warrior defense was fantastic, stopping Queen’s on numerous occasions inside the Waterloo five-metre line. “They performed beyond expectations,” said Humphreys, pleased with his team’s effort. All this, despite the loss of three key players prior to the game. Senior starters Josh Windsor at wing, flanker Mark Morrison, and prop Ian Pryde were unable to take the field against Queen’s. In the junior varsity game, Queen’s jumped on their chances early, scoring two quick tries. Despite the rocky s,tart, full credit goes to the Warriors, who produced a spirited second half, outscoring the Gaels 7-O. Mike Lippert scored the Warrior try and Jason Winter converted. It wasn’t enough, however, to overcome lthe earlier damage, as they dropped a 17-7 decision. Also of note and great comic relief was the Queen’s bus driver, who was fortunate not to be hanging from a goal post by the end of the game. This brave fellow cheered vocally for the Gaels during both matches from the Warrior sideline! ! Both Warrior teams will regroup and try to improve their records to 1-l tomorrow against the McMaster Marauders at Columbia Fields. Kick-off time is 190 for the varsity game, with the junior varsity game to follow.

t was a mstchup scheduled by the gods of rugby. All over the world, rugby fans speak breathlessly of the dream rivalries: Australia versus New Zealand; England against France. In the Ontario Universities Athletic Association, that dream match is the Queen’s Golden Gaels versus the Waterloo Wtiors. On a balmy Saturday afternoon last weekend at the Columbia Fields, with hundreds of spectators looking on, it was in fact the Warriors and Gaels kicking off the regular season. The match focused on more than revenge for the Warriors, although revenge was definitely a factor. Rugby faithfuls will recall that the Gaels spoiled Waterloo’s spotless season in last year’s semi-finals. Tee Warriors employed a traditional power attack for the most part, while the Gaels attempted their familiar kick-and-run style. The strums were so one-sided, the Warriors could have pushed the Gaels back down the highway to Kingston without breaking a sweat. They proved this, stealing two against the head. Despite the physical dominance, the Warriors at times showed they could mirror Queen’s style of play. “We’re showing them something they

can’t handle,” observed Warrior head coach Derek Humphreys. “Whoever wins this game is going to do it in the last minutes.” And that’s exactly what Queen’s did. A penalty call, in injury time, on a dive that would have left Don Cherry shaking his head, set up a successful penalty kick that

Avid runners who do not wish to swim or cycle, for instance, can participate as part of a team effort. Just find two other active friends and sign-up! For safety purposes, one lane of Ring Road will close during the event, so those of you not involved, be sure to drive carefully.

ohn and Justin Shoniker are two of the largest people you’ll ever meet in your lifetime. Physically and figuratively, they are the biggest players on the University of Waterloo Warrior Football team. For the past five years, this brother duo has dominated Waterloo on both sides of the ball. At 6’ 1” and 275 pounds, John is without a doubt the best defensive lineman in the country. “John is very dedicated to his sport, his family, and his friends,” reflects Justin when asked to describe his brother. “He is also very fixed in his ways and doesn’t like people telling him what to do or how to do it.” Who could blame him? John has been an OUAA all-star the last two years, was Waterloo’s rookie of the year in 1990, and is expected to earn All-Canadian honours this season. Justin, at 6’ 1” and 270 pounds, is one of the top offensive linemen in the OUAA. He was an OUAA all-star in 1993 and will likely gain that honour again in 1995. He too could possibly earn All-Canadian status for this, his last season with the Warriors. “Justin is also very dedicated to what he does,” says John. “He works extremely hard at everything he does and keeps me in line sometimes. He watches out for us.” To most people, having your brother around all the time would be a nightmae, but to the Shoniker brothers it has turned out to be one of the best things in the world.

backyard and play one-on-one football. And, if you’ve ever seen people play it, it’s pretty stupid,” laughs Justin, remembering the games that could last all day and end with scores of 176 170. From one-on-one football games to high school football and now university football, the Shoniker brothers have always succeeded. Now, as they both reach the end of their university careers, they look forward to the future. “Everyone’s dream is to keep

playing football,” says Justin. “If the opportunity arises, we’ll both jump at it, whether it’s in Europe or the CFL.” “It’s so hard to think of not having football to go to in the fall,” says John. “We’veplayed it since we were seven years old. Every fall you’re out there. To just stop one day, it would be hard..” Both history majors, John and Justin plan on teaching if a professional football career doesn’t work out. However, Justin is quick to point out that they are not planning on playing football forever and are not just at UW to play football. “It really wasn’t easy for us when we came here,” says Justin. “We just barely squeaked in with our marks and then we really worked hard to get the marks to stay in. “It’s just important that people remember that! Guys that are playing football are not just here to play ball but here to learn and go to school.” As for their last season with the Warriors, John and Justin would like nothing better than a championship season. “I want that Vanier Cup ring,” says a determined Justin. “Because with that you know there’s no dispute. You’re t.he best team in the country and no one can say it’s politics or favouritism. You’re the best.” If the Shonikers don’t get a Vanier Cup ring, they can take heart in the fact that they were the best offensive and defensive linemen the Warriors have had in the past five yiears.

It took the team a while to get accustomed to playing on the unpredictable grass field, but they managed to finish the first half with a 2-O lead. The first goal came on a rebound by rookie Dawn Culverson after the Western goalie stopped an initial penalty comer shot. The second goal was scored by rookie Michelle Lo, who banged in a direct shot on the Athena penalty corner. The Mustangs managed to score

In their last meeting at the warm-up tourney, York edged out UW for fourth place. It was time for the Athenas to return the favour in league play. Back on turf, the Athenas executed their game plan perfectly and kept York on their heels for most of the game. However, goals were hard to come by and the end score was a tie of o-o. The Athenas try to keep their undefeated streak alive this weekend when they play host to Trent, McGill, and Carleton. So, if you. get a chance, come out to University Stadium and support this winning team as UW hosts the Waterloo Field Hockey Tournament. Come: and check out some of this exciting action at University Stadium. Waterloo”s games are as follows:

Drunk Tricky with Laika Uperu House, Toronto Saturday, September 16 by Greg Imprint

Hood-Morris staff

aika and the Cosmonauts fit none too comfortably into the support role for one of the biggest trip-hop (a misnomer I’m sure) acts to come out of England ever. The Bristol scene, as it’s fondly known, has given birth to the genre’s main progenitors Portishead, Massive Attack, and Tricky. Tricky Kid, to give him his full name, began by helping out Massive Attack, until he realized he could do better on his own. So he hooked up with Maxine, ii wonderful singer in the Diana Ross tradition, all breathy and full of

and Senseless

free-flowing pre-recorded sounds. In my head, at the beginning I was thinking, “Gosh, with all of this computer wizardry on stage, the whole thing could fall apart at any second, and that wouldn’t be good.” And do you know what happened next? (Come on, I’m using my greatest techniques of fore-shadowing here!) The whole thing fell apart. Not that the audience noticed, because Laika has, shall we say, a dense

XX.

However back to Laika, the extremely quirky opening band. Self consciously experimental, and not so much musical as rhythmic. Christ, were they rhythmic, with a bongo player (and J.D. swigger) playing along to a funky drummer playing along to a cornucopia of

sound; one which wouldn’t fall apart if you were to drop an Abomb in front of it. The only indication given by the band that the whole thing fell apart is that Laika stopped the song in mid-rhythm and had a little collective tantrum.

With a modicum of professionalism she (guitarist, chanteuse) and he (grumpy key boardist) could have grinned and bore it. There was little grinning Aside from the percussion they had a bass player, who carried almost afl of the melody, and a guitar to make squawking, wibbly noises+ The vocalist probably had some semblance of melody to them, but alas, her voice could barely be discerned under the massive barrage of rhythm. On Laika’s albums there are a lot of quirky rhythms, with keyboard melodies, and a wide variety of sounds. Live that variety is lost, until they start to sound somewhat monotonous. However, it pleases the happy feet. Tricky was much more. Much more than Laika could ever hope to be. This is not an opinion founded on prejudice; expectations were equal for both bands going into the show. However, it transpired that Laika were quite unprofessional, with qutte a bit of grumpiness, and general disorganization upon the stage. Tricky however was cool as a cucumber. the kid stood about three feet away from those wedged into the front row, in a comfortable pose, with his tattooed body wrapped in a terrycloth shirt. The most noble aspects of the kid himself were the shadowboxer movements and the fact that he smoked about twenty home rolled cigarettes in an hour. He also drank a whole bottle of red vino, which seemed to flow nice and smoothly down his worried gullet, after which he would shadow box some more and croak out his paeans to loneliness and liaisons gone wrong. Sort of a Jarvis Cocker from the wrong side of the tracks, I suppose. The kid stood on the right side of the stage, lazily rapping in slow languid movements. On the other side stood Maxine, who did the singing for the band. Occasionally the two would duet, which was quite a powerful technique, with Tricky’s resigned non-singing contrasting and complementing Maxine’s fine voice. It also didn’t hurt from the audience’s perspective that both Tricky and Maxine werequite good looking, hence having something to please people of all

Behind the two stood guitarist Patrice (with his black beret) a bassist, keyboardist, and a fantastic drummer. During the show this band recreated almost all of the sounds on Tricky’s last album There was a miniMUXi~ILpLlJV. mum of sampled noises, with a live

sound complementing Tricky and Maxine much more than anybody could have thought. For the most part the audience was subdued, and for those people who need shows pumped up on steroids, Tricky was probably a littte dull. Some of the tracks made you do a little shadow boxing on your own. Still others made your bobble your head in a sort of stoned ambiance. The rest made you lean forward and truly listen to the words that Tricky was imparting. “Do you know what it’s like to struggle? Have you ever had to struggle?Bnredwith the mundane? They label me insane, but ! think I’m more normal than most.” So it continued, words that wrapped around Tricky’s head l&e the cigarette smoke which constantly enveloped him. It was surprising, just how laid back the ambiance was, a sold out show where you could actually hear what the lead singer was singing about. Best of all, though, was the fact that there was no moshing at all, Not a bit. So it went, with fantastic tracks being played such as “Ponderosa,” “Strugglin, ’ ” “Brand New You’re Retro,” and the rocked up “Black Steel ,” One funny thin& about

of his life. *‘Black SteelI,” though. The song started immediately after “Overcome,” when Tricky, deciding that he wasn’t in the right frame of mind, opted to sing “the Prophet” instead. Then, thoroughly anesthetized., he ordered the song started, and the audience went mad. It was fairly obvious that Tricky hadn’t meant to do an encore, but he decided to fumble through one, playing two covers, the Specials’ “Do the Dog,” and one famous one by Slick Rick, whose name eludes me. Laika was good, and with a little more psychology could really gear the audience up for a fantastic show. Trick:y was amazing to the faithful. Those who came for the music were not disappointed. Those who were looking for a capital-S Show perhalps should have saved their money to go and see Nine Inch Nails instead.

Hutt began the evening with some words of appreciation. Jan Udhe, a film professor at the University of Waterloo, introduced head of Cinematic Ontario, Gerald Pratley. Uhdc wrote a book about Pratley, the special guest for the evening, and one of Canada’s connoisseurs of international film. Yt was one hundred years ago

then, as filmgoers have discovered the likes of Bergman, Fellini, and others. Pratley spoke about the evolution of international film festivals in Canada, and the continuing difficulty of getting some films. He once had a dream to open a cinema of his own in Stratford, he recalled; instead, he thanked John and Wendy for persevering and allow-

this year that the Lumiere Brothers showed some pictures on a screen,” Pratley remarked. Cinerna has come a long way since

its way into the vaults?Look what’s happened - it’s actassic, it’s being shown all the time, and it’s still working its magic.” Partygoers were treated to a screening of Casablanca, a film that has been called the most romantic of its age. Although the film seems dated - “Is that the firing of cannons? Or is it the beating of my heart?” -it has a cast of characters that are endearing, a script that has become part of our idiom, and a charm all its own. After examining the special exhibit of early Princess Cinema Film Guides, we retired to the newly renovated upstairs of the Huether Hotel for munchies, Lion Lager, and the Beirdo Brothers’ take on “As Time Goes By.” We noshed, we schmoozed, and we toasted the Princess in hopes of meeting ten years from now to celebrate once again.

n.-

onehad keys to the building, discovered that by chance the 16 mnprojectors had arrived the same day, and greeted fifty to sixty people who had come to see cusuhlurlr Yl. So the Princess Cinema was born. Its status as the only repertory theatre in Ki tchenerWaterloo has made the PrinI cess the place to go for audiences who love film, want to see the classics and something besides the Hoilywood mainstream, and still yearn for the smell of popcorn and the big screen. Part of that audience, along with advertisers, contributors, and friends, gathered at the Princess Monday I night to pay tribute to the hard work and good luck that has contributed to ten years of success. Hutt, the proprietor of the Cinema along with partner Wendy, remarked that they opened just as audiences were beginning to realize that they could rent these videos and take them home. Despite the video revolution, business is still going strong.

Very much in love with his partner Darius, a dancer inCa!s, they show Jeff that life with AIDS isn’t all that bad. A great comic vehicle for Stewart, he is able to shed his serious role of Captain Picard. The actor’s droll comebacks are consistently on target and the timing is

sis is more on fulfillment than fighting intolerance. These characters never seem to lose track of who they are or what they want, and can even poke fun at themselves. The film’s soundtrack was written and performed by Steve Endelmen and Bob Russell. Severa1 Gershwin tunes are also part of the score, which compliments and builds on the smoothly flowing narrative. In regards to settings, everything is beautifully decorated along the lines of Better Homes and Gardens. The characters, too, look like they’ve stepped from a fashion magazine.

It can be incredibly tedious to see Sketch chat with the master of the arena on Level Two, or come to the Earth-shattering realization that the slime in the globes come to life on Level One, or

off. First off you only get one life, and though you can take a fair degree of damage in that life, you end up playing for ten or fifteen minutes and getting nowhere.

velyn Lau came to light after her memoir, Runaway: DiaqwfA Street Kid, was published in 1989. The shocking tale of parental abuse, drug abuse, and prostitution made for a best seller, and eventually CI3C TV picked up a script and made Lau’s story into a movie. Lau’s incredible writing skills in the midst of adversity turned some important heads. With her collection of short prose, Fresh Girls and Other Sturies, Lau proved that she could move beyond her experiences and write about sex, down and dirty, sex for money and sex for pure pleasure. Her prose was frank and unassuming, brash and erotic. Lau’s homehasalways been poetry, however. It was because of her poems that someone finally noticed her. Her new poems have recently been published in The Globe and Muil books section. Her poetry is cutting, yet beautiful. Reading Lau, you can be caught up in what appears to be a love poem until the final section; there she notes how dysfunctional the relationship really is, how painful are the feelings involved, So it is with Lau’s new novel, other WOMEN. The novel is like poetry in the reading. It is like stepping into a person’s mind when she is thinking the most private, the most profound thoughts that she has. It is only after some time that you realize she is severely sad. The novel begins with the demise of a relationship. Fiona, a successful artist, has been having an affair for some time with Raymond, a successful businessman. Raymond has just told Fiona that he loves his wife and cannot see her anymore. Fiona spends the rest of the space of the novel working through her feelings, reconciling herself to his decision, and remembering the time they spent together. Frankly, Lau would have been better off writing 4 series of poems to work out the issues she raises there. Her use of imagery, especially wedding dresses, becomes so symbolic as to be obvious. The title is interesting, because it is Fiona who thinks of Helen, Raymond’s wife, as the other woman. This play on the clichi is especially interesting because Fiona has never slept with Raymond, and their relationship is far too patchy for her to feel possessive. Perhaps Lau uses the opposite of the norm because Raymond loves his wife, not his mistress, and leaves his mistress for his wife. Fiona seems to move through this novel as in a fog. It is hard to get a good idea of her character, or Raymond’s, because she is busy talking about the quality of the sky,

the feel of Raymond’s lips on her skin, the way the city differs when Raymond is not there. She is an artist, but doesn’t seem to work her emotions through her art. In fact, we have no idea what kind of medium Fiona works in. She teaches, but we don’t know what, or to whom, and we don’t know what kind of clothes she wears or what food she likes to eat. There is a sense that Fiona is so entranced by Raymond and his desertion that her normal life means nothing to her. Few of Fiona’s friends are mentioned, and those who are seem to be included purely for the purpose of drawing Fiona’s feelings

out. This is an effective way for Lau to communicate Fiona’s devotion; however, it detracts from our sympathy for Fiona. If we don’t know who she is or why she fell in love with Raymond, why shouId we care? The narration switches between Fiona and a third, “objective” observer. This creates an interesting conflict: at times, the details of Fion;a’s story differ great11 from that if the narrator. Perhaps Lau is trying to show that Fiona’s distraction is so extreme that she cannot see things properly. Most of us have been in love - most of us have been dumped. We would know that love and desertion colour our perceptions, so rather than proving any point, the discrepancies serve only to distract. It is possible as well that the discrepancies are a result of the non-linear format of the narrative. There appears to be no logical sequence to the events the two narrators describe - although it seems that Fiona is attempting to move backwards through her relationship to Rayimond. Some of these episodes between Fiona and her reluctant lover Raymond are interesting and touching. In the lend, though, nothing very much happens in v~hvr WOMEN. The value in reading the novel is there for those who love the lyrical quality of Lau’s poetry. The cutting edge is there, occasionally. Mostly, though, it is like listening to an acquaintance go on and on about a relationship. You’d really rather be elsewhere, drinking a coffee.

Fortunately, she soon found bassist Dean Fisher and drummer Todd Phillips and formed the Juliana Hatfield

an additional guitarist and a keyboard player. “I don’t want to do things the same way,” she says. “I’ve been in trios since the Blake Babies.” Hatfield is a prolific artist - in nine years in the music industry, she’s been on dozens of albums. She’s good friends with Evan Dando of the Lemonheads, and has appeared on most Lemonheads releases, as a band member or contributor. Otherartists she’s played with include Susanna Hoffs, Belly, Mary Lou Lord, and Mike Watt. Hatfield has appeared on over a dozen soundtracks and label compilations, from This is Fort Apache to Elements of Mammoth to So This is Christmas! Hatfield not only contributed to the soundtrack of the now-cancelled television show My So-Culled Life, but also appeared in an episode. To retain her interest in her own music, Hatfield says, she changes and develops her songs every time she plays. “I’m totally

Four years, threealbums and an EP later, the Boston trio split up, Strohm to form Velo-Deluxe and Antenna, and Hatfield to begin a solo career.

With almost the exact same line-up that produced last year’s utterly brilliant Vauxhall and I, Morrissey returns with a much harder and much more eclectic release in Southpaw Grummar. Morrissey takes more chances on the new album, with varied results, and if those results aren’t always pleasing, they at least demonstrate a willingness to experiment a little bit (while retaining the popular the-world-is-against-me-oh-godwhy-is-life-so-difficult stance.) The album begins with an eleven-minute opus, “The Teachers Are Afraid of the Pupils,” which is essentially a mirror image of “The Headmaster Ritual” from Meat is Murder. In this song, the teachers are victims of both uncaring students and parents who will elicit a swift revenge against anyone who lays a hand on their sons and daughters: “Say the wrong words to our children, and we’ll have you, lay a hand on our children and it’s never to late to have you,” wails Moz, As you might guess, the song doesn’t come close to j ustify ing the eleven minutes it takes to get this point across, and I’ll still take “The Headmaster Ritual” every time. Along with the aforementioned problems, the song loops a violin riff over and over and over throughout the entire song which becomes pretty damn tedious rather quickly. All in all, an extremely weak opener. Unfortunately, things don’t pick up much in “Reader meet Author,” which sounds like a veiled threat against the much despised (or perhaps just Moz-despised) Johnny Rogan. Finally, we get around to one of the album’s highlights, a powerful (well, as powerful as Morrissey gets) track about “The Boy Racer,” who is apparently a cool kid who drives real fast, gets lots of chicks, is popular and has lots of money, but who Morrissey wants to kill he’s too .-. A-. “because

That’s the spirit! Morrissey continues his belligerent vein in “The Operation,” perhaps the strangest track on the album, and perhaps the strangest track Morrissey ’ s ever done by virtue of the fact that it begins with a two-minute and twenty-second drum solo. As pathetically silly as that sounds, (and 1 say this knowing you won’t believe me) it’s really not that bad. I’ve heard it about ten times now, and I’m not sick of it yet -and by the way,Idon’town any Yes albums. Good lines like “Everyone I know is sick to death of you. . .everyone here is sick to the back teeth of you.“are improved by a poppy melody and strong support from his band, and all this adds up to a great song. Unfortunately, the next track and first single from the album “Dagenham Dave” is quite possibly the weakest track on the album. The chorus consists of the title sung over and over - six times in all, and Dagenham Dave himself remains a thoroughly uninteresting subject. (On the other hand, the Stranglers’ song of the same title is quite good.) Morrissey redeems himself with the somewhat uplifting “Just Do Your Best and Don’t Worry.” Much like “‘The Operation,” this song remains a perfect example of what happens when the lyrics, melody and lmusic all manage to come togetherMoz altnost tnanages to pull this off again on the next track, ‘“Best Friend on the Payroll” but doesn’t quite do it. The album closer “Southpaw” is another Mozathon at over ten minutes, but at least this time, the song manages to be interesting. This track, mostly instrumental towards the end, doesn’t sound like it’s unnecessarily dragging itself on for no reason, but rather slowly unfolding itself comfortably. With Southpaw Grammar, Monissey has now tied the album output of The Smiths (including compilations and live albums.) It goes without saying that Motissey has only equalled The Smiths in terms of quantity, not quality. His solo career remains uneven, with great albumsc Vauxhall and I, Bona 5 Drag) and stinkers(YourArsenal). Southpaw GrummLzr is an accurate sample of his career, with songs both good and crap. In the end, Southpaw vlill merely provide Mozophobes with ammo to further criticize the quiffed one, and Mozophiles with plenty of reasons to continue sleeping

Mix Green Day and Oasis and what’s the result, sure sounds like Sweet Water. Initially a high energy album on the first few tracks, that was recorded in Los Angeles, with a skilled fast drumming beat, this album slowly peters out. This foursome with Adam Czeisler on lead vocals, R. Cole Peterson on bass, Paul Uhlir on the drums, and Rich Credo on guitar are the men behind the music and though this is their third album the soundjust doesn’t come close to the word originality . “Cake and Strychnine,” the lead track, which uses lyrics “slit your wrists with a plastic razor COOL like Steve McQueen be a part of THE SOLUTION” along with typical rock guitar solos, heavy drumming, and whiny nasal vo-

Alfred0 Ballesteros and Ernie Perez are sharing the saxophone parts, while David Darling is the main songwriter for the album, while adding his bit to the guitars together with David Kitay . Both chip in on percussion with Brie Darling occasionally. Though this musical talent allows a diverse participation in the various aspects of the group, in this album it gives it a disjointed feeling and takes away from any flow that could be established.

Well, this soundtrack seems to be another one in the currently common theme of “this album is cool therefore the movie will be too”. If I am not mistaken, at. the time of the creation of this review, the movie Angus has not yet been released in Waterloo. In point of fact, I know very little about this movie.

that attempts

cals, is one of the fastest moving tracks with quick beats and an upbeat tune. The second track, “Feed Yourself’ uses joyous vocals and upbeat accompaniment during the chorus to form the full sounding group sound which is perforated by some guitar accents courtesy of Rich. “Painless” features some guitar riffs a la Green Day to keep its fast pace while “Superstar” uses vocals that are uncannily close to Oasis’ in exclaiming “do you want to be rich, do you want to be a superstar.” “Big Rock Show” is the tuming point of the album with a slow exaggerated blues beat. This continues on “Back Into Your Way,” with full rich guitar chords accompanied by cymbal crashes among leisurely lyrical passages and plain guitar solos. “Self Hater” uses the lyrics “self hater you feel good for a while self hater you do it to yourself and you make it hard,” put to slow

Beatlesque dreamy vocals with a contrasting dark sound for the chorus and is one: of longest tracks. The album gets tired with standard rock sounds mixed to uninspired lyrics, too many SIOW melodies but competent musicianship are not a good mix. The disc is unfortunately not up to the raw energy or showmanship of so many other bands out there. the sound and songs become bland and lifeless. By alternating the lead vocals, variation in the character of the songs is established but continuity in the album is lost. This is needed since there is very little variation in the tjempo in the tracks ““,

Tom” which slows down and effectively alters the pace of the disc. One of the areas

This

some saxophone chords and some funky guitar riffs. However since this combination is used with little variation in the first eight tracks

featured here, is Green Day, with the song J.A.R. (stands for Jason Andrew Relva). I admit that I am not a Green Day fan, and on the basis of this, my comment is that the song sounds like every other Green Day song played on the radio. Not a very intellectual comment, but really, the only one that I have. Two Ash songs are featured on the soundtrack: “Jack Names The Planet” and “Kung Fu.” Both songs start with non-musical introductions, discussions and noises, presumably taken from the movie. Both songs are quick, little, light ditties, that seem to be trying to make the insignificant aspects of life more important.

And both. sound

inher-

ently, like Ramones songs. Although, this may be because the only clearly audible words in “Kung Fu” are “teenage lobotomy,” a delinite Ramones catch-phrase. We are blessed with another infinitely clever (note the sarcasm) Weezer song, “You Gave Your Love to me Softly.” Very Weezeresque.

lacks

poor vocals, especially in the choruses and background vocals which detract from the tunes, and uses very little variation in the song and music structure.

I admire the belief that if you’ve found something that works for you, you should go with it. But, creatively, this leaves something to be desired. Alnd this Weezer song leaves something to be desired. Followed by Weezer are the Goo Goo Dolls, a band that generally I enjoy listening to. Their song “Ain’t that LJnusual” is a great tune, and one that you know is going to be Iplaying at a happy moment in the movie. Other bands featured on the soundtrack are Tilt, the Muffs, the Smoking Popes, and the Riverdales, all of which are light, unsophisticated songs, tlhat are neither good nor bad. The highight for me comes at the end with the song “Am I Wrong” by Love Spit L,ove. The only heartbreak came when I realized that this was not a new song, rather is is also featured on their self-titled album. All things considered, I recommend that one over the Aqps soundtrack.

I was listening to this album, when scenes fromKkg Zoe started flashing by in my mind. I closed my eyes to concentrate, and determined that a lot of songs from this album would be perfect accompaniment for the scene where Zed and his band of merry thieves speed around town snorting and shooting up everything ever invented. It’s a weak description, but I can’t think up the standard “X meets Y” comparison. Steady drums, clear and forceful vocals, and great use of keyboards combine in a highly orchestrated manner reminiscent of . . . no, no, forget that. It’s odd I should relate this group’s music to a french movie, since the Young Gods are also french (but not Canadian). They sing in both (english and french) languages, with a little more weight on the english side. Tf you ever went to Phil’s during 1993 you’ve probably heard these guys before, as the deejay played dance remixes of a couple T.V. sky songs everytime I was there, which wasn’t very often. T.V. Sb seemed to be a ‘heavier’ album overall, with more widespread appeal and ‘playable’ songs. only Heaven marks their third or fourth full-length album, and reflects a band comfortable with whatever level of success they’ ve achieved, There’s a couple light instrumental tracks, a smattering of okay to good songs, and one extraordinarily long (16+ minutes!) beautiful piece that evolves through all sorts of styles and sounds. The practice of giving records a rating in Imprint has long sinceceased, but this would get a 4/S.

Evil Stig Evil Stig Warner by Greg Picken special to Imprint Evil Stig is a CD designed to make money. The group consisting of original Riot Grrrl Joan Jett and members of the Gits, recorded this semi-live CD (Evil Stig being Gits Live backwards) to raise funds for the investigation into the brutal rape and murder of Gits Iead singer Mia Zapata. A very noble purpose, but one backed up with more that just a lukewarm set of songs and a message. From the beginning, this album establishes a fierce tempo, driving through Gits materiail and one of the highlights of the album, Jett’s hard-hitting “Activity Grrrl.” The real strength of the album is not the sound of the music, but the passion and feeling lying behind it. Listening to the lyrics and the powerful guitar work, especially in the strongest track “Spear and Magic Helmet,” the anger of the band, and the music

A year ago Perfume Tree came to town in a triple bill that involved Torontonians Parade and An April March, all to the overwhealming response of a mere thirty people in the audience. Sure it was a Tuesday during midterms, but that was still a sad showing, and indicative of the sorrily under-rated nature of these Vancou-

solidly entertaining piece of work, definitely worth the trouble of repeated listens. This time around, their approach is more melIow and ethereal, and though their older sound of crashing swaths of guitars with tons of effects would be welcome, admirably they are pushing themselves to try new things. Floaty voices and looped drums are all over the place on A Lifetime Away, with varying degrees of success. With so many people who try ambient music, the tendency

background wallpaper. On the up side, however, when Perfume Tree get ambitious and mix things up, the results can be truly engaging. “So Far Away” is reminiscent of The Orb’s “Towers of Dub” with its gently rolling baseline, and the groovy effects in this instance are of good quality. “See Me Smile” manages ambience andrhythm at the same time, to fine effect, and “My Worst Friend” sees a wicked guitar squaling session sneak in with two minutes left, and more than anywhere else shows the My Bloody Valentine influence at work here. As for the words, they are quite thoughtful and worthrcl&inR, since it’s near impossible to make them out through the vocal effects without the lyric sheet. They’re often of the poetic variety, but real life can creep I ’ in with trackslike“My Worst Friend” and its “I :lhhor you, .I ::.

All things considered, thou] $, it’s not a big surprise that they aren’t superstars. They use drum machines and synthesizers, which is a terrible sin in a country obsessed with rock ‘n roll of the Tragically Hip variety. They’re on a relatively small indie record label. They aren’t in rotation on Much, and don’t have a big single that would lend itself to that type of play. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, while still one of the best bands in the country, they don’t really push the envelope musically in the way they might like to, the way their heroes have. My Bloody Valentine are obviously a huge influence, as are the Cocteau Twins and everything from Cabaret Voltaire to Skinny Puppy, but Perfume Tree have never reached a point where they can be called peers of those bands, and thus achieve some sort of cult status. And A Lifetime Away continues the trend. That being said, this album is still a

community over Zapata’s murder is readily apparent. This song was written by Zapata with the Gits, but the words take on a different meaning on this CD In this context, it drives home the anger of the band over the murder of their lead singer. Each song is tinged with this rage, as this effort appears to be a cathartic release for the band, letting them vent their frustrations over the futile investigation and the tragic death. The strangest song on the CD is without a doubt the cover of the late sixties hit “Crimson and Clover.” Revitalized for the nineties to match the CD’s sound, this classic sums up the message behind the music. As the song says “Ah, T don’t hardly know her, But I think I could love her”; a fair statement for the listeners. Few outside of Seattle may have heard of Mia Zapsta or the Gits before the tragedy, but listening to the words and music she created its not difficult to realize that a real talent died alone in that Seattle alley. Purely, this is a great CD, filled with powerful songs and rocking music, but as a tribute and fundraising project, it transcends simple entertainment, and drives home its message.

38 part of someone’s tongue in cheek at all times.

There are even a few covers -“Kids in America” and the theme song to”K.1.D.S. Incorporated”(the “Saved By the Bell” of the late 80’S).

by Patrick Wilkins special to Imprint I really didn’t want to like this al bum.

Unlike Matador’s earlier foray into the movie soundtrack game The Amateur, which consisted of reasonably familiar and easy to access material (Pavement, My Bloody Valentine, Liz Phair, etc.) their new attempt, Half-Cocked (The Motiun Picture Soundtrack) is defiantly indie and low& The film is characterised as “A

wild ride through Southern disillusionment,” and if the 20-song soundtrack is any indication it promises to be an adventure. Reading like a Who’s-Who of the American rock underground, the soundtrack includes contributions from the likes of Unwound, Slant 6, Rodan, Ruby Falls, Versus, Polvo, Helium, the Grifters, Big Heifer, and a fistful of lesser-known luminaries. In the case of the more familiar of these names, the song contributions are generally difficult to find ones, but none of them are throwaways. Polvo’s “Can I Ride,” for instance, is from their first out-ofprint single; it’s an incredible song

B-Boy’s 1989 album P~ul’s Boutigue. They’ve got the funk spirit, sense of humour, and enough variety to keep the album flowing. The occasional forays into the metal universe don’t hurt either. A warning -if you find yourself offended by lyrics, save yourself some moralizing and stay away from this disk. “She Ain’t Got No Legs,” a love song to a wheelchairbound woman, not only approaches the line of bad taste, but crosses it and stays for two minutes and twenty eight seconds. With songs like “You’re Pretty When I’mDrunk”, the Bloodhound Gang certainly can’t be called respectable, but dammit all, they’re

Since all of the songs are worthwhile, it’s perhaps encumbent that I stick to mentioning just my favourites... The all-female trio Slant 6’s “Time Expired,” which puts Elastica to shame with its catchy punk energy; Crain’s “Hey Cops,” stir-ring up a lot of tension with its urgent, pulsating bassline; and Versus’ gorgeously evocative “b- 9.” The great music aside, the soundtrack works best of all because it piques curiosity and encourages listeners to check out the back catalogues of the hitherto unknown artists.

For ref%I erence purposes,lock-.+----+ jaw seems like forty minutes of Jill Sobule on speed, which is the most accurate description of Dance Hall Crashers I can come up with. Where as many bands seek to define a sound that is distinctly theirs, Dance Hall Crashers proves they have found their sound, and hit it early, and unfortunately, often. Without the blank spaces between tracks, this CD could be con-

sidered one, very long song. That said, that one song isn’t too bad at all. This CD moves and it moves quickly, not slowing down for even one song. As all of their fourteen tracks are dominated by the dual guitars and the vocal talents of the two leader singers, I’m still debating whether or not this group actually has a bass player. The CD booklet insists his name is Mikey, but he may have only played on one or two tracks. If Nirvana’s “Smells LikeTeen Spirit” was supposed to be the anthem for a disaffected generation, then Dance Hall Crashers’ “Don’t Wanna Behave” could very well become the anthem for people with too much energy for their own good. Perhaps the fin-

est example of Dance Hall Crashers sugary style, this song just grooves, and carries that groove right through the whole CD. You may never hear Dance Hall Crashers on the radio, or want to rush out to buy Lackjaw, but if you do hear it give it a chance; it’ll grow on you.
