hile the CEO of Scotiabank lamented that Canada does not have any “truly world-class institutions.” this week, Ontario Premier &like Harris acknowledged cuts will have to be deeper than expected in order to meet deficit reduction targets. Many speculate grants to universities and colleges will be reduced by $800 million, rather than the $400 million Harris campaigned on. An $800 million reduction would be the equivalent of a 3 1% cut. A spokesman for the Council of Ontario Universities announced that tuition would need

to increase by 70% to make up the shortfall becausegovcrnment transfers are the single-largest source of revenue for universities.

The Tories are also committed to developing an incomecontingent loan repayment systern. While the University of Wa-

would have to jump to $1,90Oper semesteq just to keep up. Base tuition

If this occurred, Arts students at Waterloo would pay up to $1,900 base tuition per semester, plus the various ancillary fees, which would likely also increase.

terloo Federation of Students endorses this program, it remains doubtful that the government will have such a program in place in time for students who will face massive tuition hikes this fall.

Bond-rating agencies are putting additi\:a*;4 pressure on the government. They threaten to downgnlde Ontario’s credit rating unless the government exceeds its deficit reduction targets. This would add substantially to the costs of maintaining Ontario’ 9 h’ - ’ $1ting debt, and f’urther reduce the government’s flexibility in programming. In anticipation of a $400 million cut, Waterloo is already preparing an early retirement buyout, and has instituted a hiring freeze. When asked how the University might deal with a cut of this magnititude, Vice President Academic and Provost Jim Kalbfleischl referred fo the hiring freeze as a “stopgap” measure, and said, “there are no easy answers, that [cut] is huge.”

CASA controversy continues by Peter * Imprint

knardon staff

s you no doubt already know, the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations’ (CASA) policy paper Making Higher Education Work failed to receive the endorsement of the University of Waterloo’s Student Council last Wednesday. Fourteen members voted not to endorse the document while only three voted in favour, with three members abstaining. The most contentious part of the plan for students seems to be the creation of an Education Beneficiary Fund. The fund would be comDosed of a Graduate Beneficiary Contribution, levied on those people with a degree and a job, and a Corporate Beneficiary Contribution, assessed on businesses, the other major beneficiary of higher education. Federationof Students President Jane Pak sees this part of the paper as the major reason for its rejection. “I think that if we had split up the document - although that motion failed - I have a strong sense that the first three parts would have been voted in, with the fourth part rejected.” “Nobody likes the word tax. I don’t like the word tax.” While most students are worked up about the graduate tax, it is only a small part of a document that revises many ar-

eas of post-secondary education. Pak noted that second and third parts of the document are possibly the most important because they outline changes to Canada’s system of higher education. Recommendations are made to streamline post-secondary education so that colleges and universitiescan provide a better education with fewer costly inefficiencies. These are the main portions that will be sent to the federal government. The objective of this funding alternative is to maintain tuition fees at their current levels so a prospective student’s up front

UW Prof Wins Polanvi Prize J

by Elaine &cord Imprint staff

niversity of Waterloo chemist Elizabeth Meiering has won a Polanyi Award. Five of these awards are presented each year to outstanding postdoctoral researchers at Ontario universities, in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology and medicine, economics and literature. Meiering specializes in relationships between the three-dimensional structure and the function of proteins, and in their dynamics: the way they move in solution. Her cross-disciplinary approach involves methods of physical and molecular biochemistry. Meiering’s work will have implications for drug design due to its focus on the way proteins bind to drugs in the body. Meiering received her bach-

elor of science in honours chemistry at UW in 1988. Since then she has earned her doctorate at Cambridge University and has done postdoctoral work at Harvard Medical School. She will return to UW this January as assistant professor of chemistry because she ‘*liked it” here, and although she has been in some “high-powered” places, this is where she wants to be. This is the second time someone at UW has won a Polanyi; the first went to Thomas Steele in 1989 for his work in subatomic physics. Each award is worth about $15 000. Meiering will be able to set up her own research laboratory at UW next summer to continue her work with proteins, thanks to her award. According to UW chair of chemistry Terrance McMahon, “The prestige of this award will set off bells for committees who are considering her for other awards.”

ou will probably agree that there is more to life than going to university, having a job, and just hanging out, but have you done anything about it? Mahim Manchanda and Kavita Chauhan, full-time University of Waterloo students have. They are doing something out of the norm - they are co-partners and founders of a company! The company is called “2HEALTH” and has been in operation for over a year. 2HEALTH offers services such as: First Aid & CPR training (recognized by the Canadian Red Cross Society), Deep Tissue Massage Therapy (certification by the Canadian Health and Healing Centre in Toronto), Holistic Health Education, Referrals, and retail of Holistic Health Products. 2HEALTH’s mandate is to educate and create an awareness of holistic healthcare, while providing a service that is unique, client-oriented, full of quality, and yet professional. Kavita, a fourth yeti Health Studies & Kinesiology student started training students in CPR as a sideline business. A couple of years later, Mahim, a fourth year Science student, joined in on the venture, and so the company, “2HEALTH,” was formed. Mahim and Kavita felt there wasn’t a company of this sort available for students. The first step was to design a more hands-on, practical, and fun

First Aid course that students could afford. After training over 100 students in the past year, 2HEALTH is certainly an authority on first aid training. In addition, both partners have a passionate interest in holistic health, so they introduced it into the business almost immediately. This is another area where they feel students are cheated because this important information about Natural/Holistic Healthcare is not taught

and blue-which signify nature. An environmentally conscious mindset helped 2HEALTH develop an edge on their first product - THE 2HEALTH PAK. This totally unique, versatile designer product is a first aid fanny pack made of recycled innertube rubber. The amazing features of this product are as follows: it is very durable:, rugged, water-resistant,ergonomically designed, makes first aid materials easily accessible, gives clear & concise instructions on “what to do in an emergency,” has a front pocket for a Laerdal mask or an instant cold pack, and is truly funky if all you want to do is carry your wallet! The “2 HEALTH PAK” will be officially available after the. formal product launch on Saturday, October 14th in the Multipurpose room in the Student Life Centre, between 7 and 9pm. The retail price is $42, or $35 if you have/will be enrolled in a 2HEALTH Standard First Aid Course. 2HEALTH also retails the latest model of the Laerdal mask for $20. The above prices do not include tax. As pilots of this company, Mahim anld Kavita will take 2HEALTH into the 2 1st century as holistic healthcare and prevention will become more mainstream. Mahim and Kavita encourage you to contact them anytime if you would like to learn more about 2HEALTH’s services and products. 2HEALTH’s telephone # is 519-88-44-975.

.TH in university nor by many of the physicians. Since Mahim and Kavita are students themselves, they feel they can better understand the needs of their peers, and therefore serve the students more effectively. What does 2HEALTH really mean? The number “2” represents: 1) a partnership and, 2) the company’s dual function-prevention awareness (through holistic health education) and treatment awareness (through First Aid training). If you look at the logo, the “2” represents your path in life. As you become more refined and conscious of your mind, body & soul (symbolized by the “2” becoming narrower at the end), you enter the state of eternal health (symbolized by the “2 ” and “HEALTH” merging). 2HEALTH has two company colours-green

eidi Gjertsen, a third-year undergraduate student at University of Waterloo, took first place in a Fraser Institute essay competition open to all university students across Canada. Gjertsen, a joint honours environment and resource studies/economics student, won a $1000 prize

for her paper titled, “Road Pricing as a Solution to Urban Air Pollution.” The competition, open to any student in Canada in any discipline, was mounted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Fraser Institute, based in Vancouver, B.C. Students were invited to write a paper on the topic of “marketbased solutions to environmental problems.”

wins Gjertsen’ s paper was described as “clear, precise and original” and was judged best in a field of 65. It will be published in Fraser Forum and Canadian Student Review, both of which are periodicals of the Institute. The paper described systems of controlling air pollution, caused by traffic congestion, which are already in operation in Singapore and Norway.

IMPRINT,

Friday, October 6, 1995

$1000 The topic of congestion pricing refers to the monitoring of vehicles on selected stretches of road at times of peak use and billing the drivers. In Norway, traffic congestion was relieved and revenues of up to $80 million US were collected to supplement the transportation infrastructure. The paper was based on research she undertook in her envi-

ronmental economics course with Professor Richard Bodell. She also worked as a research assistant on the economics department contribution to the Eco-Research Project, supervised by Professor Ramesh Kumar, which is “unusual for a third-year student,” says Bodell. Bode11 said Gjertsen plans to complete her honours undergraduate degree and go on to graduate work in environmental economics.

Ms. Bran n Colewillbe conductin m infmutb7 his fall the Federation of S tudents and the WPIRG have joined together to bring a series of let tures and discussions to the University of Waterloo. Beginning October 16 and continuing Mondays until November 20, speakers from the field of transportation and land use planning will be sharing their views and experience. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from practitioners at the cutting edge of urban and regional planning. The series opens October 16 with Joelle Vanderwagen, an author and policy advisor on land use and transportation planning. Joelle wiIl be discussing the interdependent relationship between land use and transportation, particularly as the relationship concerns social equity, economics, and the physical environment. A critical look at urban sprawl and concepts for creating liveable communities are included in this discussion and slide show. The following Monday sees Tom Samuels, an urban designer with a specialty in traffic calming, discussing the role of transportation in recreating the liveable city. Restoring the balance between public and private transport choices in our communities and on our streets holds tremendous opportunities for improving the quality of life for all citizens. Tom’s work with the Better Transportation Coalition in Toronto has won accolades from all over the North American continent. On October 30, Jo Ann Woodhall, a transportation planner with the Transit Division at the Civ of Kitchener, will be making a presentation. Transit across Ontario is threatened by a number of factors, yet it is indispensable to a large

segment of society and is a key component of environmental sustainability. Jo Ann will focus on the problems, opportunities and solutions that are present in the Kitchener-Waterloo system. Dave Banks, manager of transportation engineering at the Region of Waterloo, will be speaking on November 6. One of the architects of the Region’s 50 year Bicycle Master Plan, Dave will discuss the Plan and the current initiatives in implementation. Having just returned from the Transportation Association of Canada’s annual conference in Vancouver, Dave will bring news of cycling initiatives from across Canada.

For those of you that have not, this box is a place for you to drop off any letters stating comments or questions regarding co-op, that you would like SAC (Students Advising Co-op) to look into. For those of you that have used the box, this week’s article is an answer to one of the more commonly raised issues: co&ems over the $411 co-op fee. First of all, most of these concerns are addressed in the brochure “How the Co-op Fee-is Set and Spent” which is available by the drop off slot in Needles Hall. In essence, it explains that co-op has figured out it costs X dollars for the average student to use the co-op system for 5 years (covering costs such as postings, interview costs, sending out resumes etc.).

paign and the motion to participate in the referendum were both tabled to the October 22nd meeting. Since the closing of the Real Choices Campaign is on October 25th, the timing implies that we will probably not be participating in the campaign. The Federation of Students would like to hear what you have to say about the issue. This is an issue thalt will, in one way or another, affect all of us and we would like to con-

from legislators, university presidents, newspaper editorial boards, labour and business groups and community organizations. The second component of this campaign is a referendum, intended to make students’ voices heard to the federal government. The question which would have been asked on the ballot would have been based on, “which approach to higher education do you prefer: CASA’s or the federal government’s?” At the last meeting, the motion to approve the document failed.

AT THE WATERLOO RECREATiON COMPLEX

STUDENT

Funding for post-secondary education is diminishing at an enormous rate. The provincial govemment has promised to cut $400 million in grants to universities and colleges, and to partially de-regulate tuition fees. At the same time, the federal government is also significantly reducing cash funding to social programs. Higher education will likely receive a significant portion of these cuts. There is a need to deal with this matter and offer an altemative to the governments before we’re faced with a situation of students funding the full cost of their education through tuition. As most of you are probably aware, a discussion document entitled Making Higher Education Work was created by the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA), our national lobbying group. This is a discussion paper on reforming Canada’s universities and colleges and is based on a set of policies that will be voted on by your Students’ Council on October 22,1995. There has been a tremen-

Mixing attitudes and alcohol by Andrew special to

Henderson

&-ma, an expert in the field of the psychology of attitudes, became interested in this topic when a student mentioned an inconsistency she had noticed in her friends’ attitudes and behaviours toward drinking and driving. l Fong was participating in an intervention program to persuade innercity youths to wear condoms. He noticed a similar inconsistency in those who stated they believed in using condoms. Why were these attitudes and intentions not translating into behaviour? “A lightbulb went off in my mind,” Zanna said. A person’s attitudes and intentions are measured in a state of sobriety but the decision to drive after drinking was reached in an

For many young people, drinking, driving and sex are major symbols of maturity and, therefore must be treated responsibly. All three are complex, risk-laden activities, fj.;.rllof pitfalls for the inexperienced. Psychology professors Ccoffery Fong and Mark Zanna and graduate student Tara MacDonald, curious about the possibility of these factors combining to affect an attitude change, have been researching the effects of alcohol on intentions and attitudes related lo condom use and drunk driving.

The study also found that only 60 to 65 % of males who reported being drunk the last time they had sex also said that they had used a condom on that occasion, compared to 8 1% of those who were sober. “If supported, these findings will have important implications for educational programs,” Zanna said. Desirable behaviour could be prompted by “building in restraining cues” in situations where people are likely to be drinking as well as making crucial decisions. For example, posters could be displayed in bars, depicting what could happen as a result of drunk driving or unprotected sex.

some courses of study disappear in the new post-secondary system because they do not directly prepare a student for the workforce? The Real Choices campaign consists of gathering signatures in support of Making Higher Education Work, as well as a referendum in which participants decide whether they prefer the CASA document or the CHST as the appropriate system for managing post-secondary education. Making Higher Education Work is a four part policy paper with prescriptions for reforming the post-secondary education system in Canada and is the basis for the Real Choices Campaign, which promotes a “pan-Canadian vision for higher education.” The paper was designed to be an alternative to the CHST, a lump-sum federal payment to the provinces covering social assistance, education, and health care which is facing a $400 million dollar cut. The result of the reduced transfer will inevitably be a proportional cut in funding for post-secondary education. With reduced funding from provincial governments, tuition will increase dramaticaHy and put college or university out of the financial reach of more and more Canadians. The changing nature of work and the need for an educated workforce cannot be supported if too few students graduate with adequate training and knowledge. The impact on the future economy and culture of Canada could be severe. Since the Student Council voted not to endorse the document, and many students have expressed negative reactions to it, the Federation of Students will be holding a discussion forum Thursday, October 12, at 5:30 p.m. in EL 101. Any suggestions you may have for amendments or deletions with regard totbe CASA document could only enrich the discussion.

F 0 I wouldn’t have thought it possible two Keeks ago, but for the first time in two years I’ve started watching baseball and inding myself actually once again nesmerised by the sport. The occasion, of course, is the start af the Major League Baseball play-offs. I suppose I should mention that I’m a diehard baseball fan, one of those bores who’ll every once in a while attempt to wax poetic about the game, and even go so far as to defend the sport in debates against hostile football and hockey fans (usually a losing proposition, I might add.) As might be expected, a lot of my passion for the game was given a stiffH-III last year with the infamous strike and cancellation of the World Series. The Jays pathetic season didn’t exactly help matters. So far the televised play-off games the Seattle-California division clincher, and the Seattle-Yankee series - have produced some totally amazing baseball, and I’m pretty well right back to where I was, having a hard time tearing myself away from the games. Unfortunately, as much as I’m once again immersed in the action, I’m equally confronted with a handful of reservations, mostly emanating from the set-up of the entire new play-off forinat. Frankly, it stinks. For one, what do you even call these series? It used to be the League Championships and the World Series, and that was it. Whatever they call the format now, what with these brutal wild-cards and everything else, it’s crap. Baseball had by far the best and most exclusive play-off format in all of professional sports, but the mighty buck changed all that. 2nd place used to mean nothing in baseball, but now we’ve got the wild card. Charlie Brown, your prayers have been answered. For another, does anyone believe a wild-card team would ever be a deserving World Series champion? Not unless you’re an Oakland Raider fan as well. What else...? It used to be that when the basebalI championships were on, every game was televised, because the games were so few and so important. As good as the current televised SeattleYankee series is, one is forever reminded of the equally excellent (did somebody say better?) series one is regularly missing out on. Which leads me to the denial factor. Does anyone deny that Cleveland and Atlanta are by far the best teams in their respective leagues this year? No offense Yankee fans, but there are actually some baseball fans, myself included, who’d actually prefer seeing the best teams in baseball play instead of wild card winners. Sure, Atlanta and Cleveland still have to prove on the field that they deserve to be the best, but isn’t it preferrable that we expect this proof be exacted against other division winners, not cheeseball runners-up? Worie, this particular system is so lame that after a long season a wild card winner could actually upset a division winper, because these initial series are best-of-fivers. Set your pitching up right and you can gift-wrap two victories with your ace, bag a cheapie, and you’ve ousted a &$ision winner. DO 4 sound bitter+..? Just wait until the unsigned collective bargaining agreement remains unresolved and we have another strike next year. As pathetic as it sounds, baseball will almost certainly be on strike again next year. Until then, enjoy the play-offs.

Imprint is an editorially independent newspaper published by Imprint Publications, Waterloo, a corporation without share capital. Imprint, Student Life Centre, Room 140, University of Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 3Gl. -

Native Issues: What’s Really at Stake ne of the things that I admire about the Imprint is that it provides a forum for the uninformed and inexperienced writers at the University of Waterloo to use the wordshit in a sentence without fear of repercussion. In a country that does not hesitate to use professional infantry to stomp on some of its citizens if they have the temerity to stand up for their Constitutional rights, I guess we should all be thankful there are still some freedoms of expression left. Literary values aside, I feel compelled to respond to Pat Merlihan’s opinion piece in the September 22, 1995 issue entitled “Are Native Canadians getting away with too much?,” which reflects a narrow perspective of Native issues, and indignantly takes exception to some Native peoples’ still relatively infrequent but perhaps increasing use of civil disobedience as a tool to achieve their political objectives. As a non-Native Canadian who has Iived and worked with Native people in northern Canada for the past eight years, I submit that Merlihan’s perspective, as it is apparently based only on a superficial understanding of the sensationalized “facts” reported in the mainstream media, fails to grasp the very real and fundamental issues at stake in Native affairs. First, to place quotation marks around the terms “stole” and “their” when referring to Native land makes it clear that Merlihan does not believe indigenous people have legitimate claims, legal or otherwise, to land now held by Canada. By failing to place quotation marks around “appropriated,” the term that Merlihan prefers to use when referring to land no longer held by Aboriginal people, the author’s biases are laid out for all to see, I wonder upon what foundations such

views are based, since no evidence or argument is offered to support the position taken although it runs contrary to legal precedents and reams of established historical proof. From the second paragraph in the article, having dismissed in one stroke all of the evidence supporting the land ownership claims of most Aboriginal groups in Canada, Merlihan rants on about Native spirituality, speculates about “what is fair,” insinuates it is not the Native Canadian “who is getting the raw deal,” and declares Native protests to be both “terrorist action” and “a very real threat of upheaval.” Whew! Quite a spectrum of opinion! Yet all of this opinion is expressed using emotional phrases distinctly lacking in example or fact, I suspect because the writer has no personal knowledge of any of the topics being written about. If I may be so bold, I wish to balance the slate a little. Even before the Royal Pruclamation of 1763, which is one of the cornerstones of the lawful rights of the First Nations to their traditional lands, European explorers made treaties with Aboriginal peoples on a nationto-nation basis that would eventually become Canada. The longstanding legal history establishing the relationship between the Government of Canada and the Aboriginal first Nations has been confirmed, time and time again, by respected scholars and the Supreme Court of Canada. Aboriginal rights were entrenched in the Canadian Constitution in 1982. As recently as June 1995, the special relationship between the Crbwn and Aboriginal people was once again set out by the Honourable A.C. Hamilton as Fact Finder to the Minister of Indian Affdirs and Northern Development. In his report Canada and Aboriginal

Peoples: A New Partnership, Hamilton states: When approaching treaq making with Aboriginal peoples today, it is important to keep in mind the deplurable manner in which they have been treated by Canada in the past and to recognize that Aboriginal peoples believe they have not been dealt with fairly in the Treaties that have been signed in recent years. Merlihan, of course, knows better. Even today, over two hundred years since the first treaties were made, the Government of Canada still routinely fails to live up to the agreements it makes with Aboriginal people. Land claim settlements regularly bog down in bureaucratic inertia, funding restrictions, and implementation quarrels. Hard won social programs are cut or redirected. Infrastructure projects that other Canadians take for granted are delayed or cancelled. Timetables for negotiation of new claims or implementation of existing ones are always set back;, never set ahead, as deadlines slide by and unfinished tasks pile up. Time passes and frustration grows among the Aboriginal population reliant on the claims process, because the indifferent government officials involved always have a comfortable home to go to at the end of the day, even if their Native counterparts do not. If one has seen the squalor that passes for community life in many Aboriginal communities, and knows there is very little evidence that the situation will change for most of them in the immediate future, it becomes much easier to understand why some Aboriginal people prefer to take action now rather than to wait stoically for a better life Continued

Natives not getting too much #3

Natives not getting too much #4

To the Editor,

To the Editur,

I am writing in response to the article “Dancing Freestyle” by Janyce McGregor (Imprint, September 29). I find myself to be among a number of Canadians who are trying to understand the reasons behind Native issues, such as land claims, I identify with the author’s feelings towards Native Canadian land claims, and her lack of derailed knowledge regarding their present situation. I, too, have not had the opportunity to meet Native Canadians, and this has prevented me from being able to learn more about their culture and their views on various issues. Janyce McGregor hints at the idea that the bulk of our knowledge regarding Native people comes from a few pages in a history textbook, or from what we see on television, usually on the news. I agree with this observation, and would like to point out that when we watch a newscast which involves Natives, we are usually only shown armed Natives who appear to be causing nothing more than an uproar. The news does not allow us the opportunity to hear the ‘*feelings of the heart” of Native people regarding their present situation in society. However, in regards to Native land claims, I must ask whether gaining a small portion of land will ease the volatile feelings among some Native Canadians, the government, and some elements of white society. It is my belief that Native Canadians have the right to demand and preserve the land that is the burial ground of their ancestors, or to demand land that they will use as a resource. Yet, I sometimes wonder if some land claims that are granted to Natives are only an attempt by the government to “heal the wounds of the past.” If this were to be accomplished, Natives would not be the only ones ‘*owed payment” for their losses. Black people would have to be recompensed for their cultural destruction due to slavery, and Germany would have to repay Jewish people for the horrors inflicted upon them during World War II. We must acknowledge that these and other unspeakable events have occurred in the past; however, we must get over these issues, and deal with issues of the present. I believe that Native people are justified in their anger; their land was invaded, and the genocidal efforts of past governments drove some Native tribes into extinction, and greatly decreased the overall Native population. Yet, I hope that Native Canadians will delve deeply into their hearts, and examine if it is actually land and privileges that they desire, and not simply “repayment” for their past sufferings.

I am a distance education student and also a Mohawk Indian from the Akwesasne Indian Reserve, near Cornwall, Ontario. I was excited to come to the Distance Education Open House on September 22 and 23. One of the first things I did when I got to the campus was look at the student newspaper. I was appalled to find such an article in the Imprint, “Are Native Canadians getting away with too much?,” Sept. 22, 1995. As I read it, and tried to keep an open mind and see the writer’s point of view, I just grew more and more angry. The fact that you say Native Canadians can be wrong is something I agree with whole-heartedly. I am a full-blooded Mohawk, and yes, we natives can be wrong. Wowever, in the article you continually allege facts and stereotype native people wrongly. To say that there is a “social taboo because of a century long guilt of stealing land” is wrong. The Canadian government is still trying to steal land. 1 think you remember an incident at Kanesatake, better known to you as Oka, in the summer of 1990. Why did the Mohawks use force to try and preserve their land? Because the mayor of Oka wanted an 18hole golf course instead of a 9-hole course. The Mohawks went to the government and were continuously ignored. Only when arms were drawn did the Canadian government want to hear what the Mohawk people had to say. If a road block had not been erected at the Pines in Kanesatake, it would now be an 18hole golf course, instead of allowing the Mohawks to hold on to not only their land, but also their culture. This all because a Canadian politician tried to steal land for more holes of golf. It is said in the article that indigenous people are talking with violent action, but the government is not talking back. No, the native people do talk about a peaceful solution to such matters, but the Canadian government is not talking back because when the native people go through “Canada’s proper channels” they are just ignored, until finally someone tells them, “No, you lose.” This has always been the way the Canadian government has dealt with the people of the First Nation. The aboriginal people react emotionally and sometimes violently to preserve their culture and heritage, and defend themselves the way you would if someone came and tried to take your property. To say Natives do it because they have nothing to lose because their spirituality is beyond this life and they will be martyrs to the cause is ignorant. This is a blatant stereotype of all native people. Not all First Nation peoples have the same beliefs.

Profs’ kids ge!tting free ride To the Editor,

Credit Dogs To make such a statement is comparable to saying German people and English people have the same beliefs because they’re both white. Another statement about natives not trusting their leaders based on a few isolated incidents highlighted by the media is also a gross and very unknowledgeable generalization. I’ve heard more complaints by white Canadians about their government leaders than Natives about theirs. Another statement made was about the threat of upheaval due to the continuous growth of military firearms on reserves. How do you know this? Were you on a reservation lately counting weapons? How many reserves have you been to? How many native people do you even know? Pictures of natives holding weapons in the newspaper doesn’t mean that they are stockpiling arms on every reservation. Having been to reservations from British Columbia to Quebec and through the United States, I do not share your views. What I did see was increasing federal cutbacks and increasing poverty. The only threats of violence I did see were so-called “unably equipped police officers” verbally and physically berating native people. Two native youths in Akwesasne this summer were stopped for unlicensed use of a motor vehicle. When taken to jail, these youths were handcuffed and forced to lie face-down on the floor as they were beaten. This was done by ‘*untrained police officers.” This is only one example of what happens and nothing compared to what goes on, on a continuous basis. I’m not saying a peaceful solution is not the answer because it

definitely is. The Canadian government must first listen to the native community - as you said, “you are the government”, and that means maybe it is up to you to get your leaders to listen to aboriginal peoples before such conflicts arise. I will say I don’t fully understand what is going on in 100 Mile House, B.C., but maybe the native people are wrong and maybe not. You cannot base your full opinion on the media interpretations either because they tend to take sides of an issue and glorify the things they want to be noticed. What I am saying is native people can be wrong and will admit a wrong, but if the government doesn’t acknowledge them, or writers of articles, such as this one, keep generalizing and stereo typing aboriginal people, then we will get no closer to a solution than we are now. --Bob

Delorimiere

Hello! Will someone please tell me why children of professors here at University of Waterloo get free tuition? Cou Id somebody possibly calculate the amount the university would save if these superpriveleged students actually had to pay? I believe there’s also a halfprice deal for staff of the university. How can the university afford to do this while OSAP people like me are just scraping by? I know of two fellow students whose fathers are profs here - they both live at home, each have a car and a motorcycle, one took 8 years to get a 4year degree at the university’s expense! Isn’t this all about the rich getting richer. 9 It makes me SO Mb.p, since I will have to be in debt for at least thle next 10 years paying for my education while these people have no idea how lucky they are! ! ! I hope someone here at the Imprint feels as strongly about this as I do and is willing to publicize a story aboult it! -Colleen

0.5. & CNN To the Editor, Many of the news pieces done about the 0.J. trial centred on reaction on the street, a gauging of the response of the average joe. Through all of the coverage I saw, the only people who expressed disappointlment at the verdict seemed to ble white people, and the only people celebrating were black. One gets the impression watching CNN that the only black person in America that believes the Juice is guilty is Christopher Dardin. Polls show that around 70% of black people believe the defence so what of this other 30%? Ask yourself this: is the socalled “Race Card” in this case, and the reaction to it, solely a product of Johnnie Cochrane’s skill as a defence attorney? Or is the constant barrage of “black vs. white” in the mass. media a self-fulfilling prophecy? Do reports like this feed the percepti.on of blacks and whites that race is an issue in this case?

ment (Imprint, September 29). Firstly, I hope that you realize that the reason we have 10 Ministers of Education can be found in the country’s constitution (and we all know how easy that is to change). Secondly, I take exception at your naive statement that students could have found out about the issue in many ways. As a member of the Feds, you should have a good idea of how students get informed about issues. I trust my councillors to vote for me. I expect them to let me know when something like this is happening (which they did). I also expect the Feds to act to inform the general student body (on and off campus} when an issue of this magnitude is involved.

Politicians should be paid more. Whoaput... the lighter... away. Easy now. That’s it. Now hear me out. Most of the most important politicians in our day have been lawyers, accountants and members of other such prestigious professions. Michael Wilson was a C.A. and Brian Mulroney, John Turner and Jean Chr&ien were all lawyers before they went into politics. I suspect that there is a large pool of extremely competent economists, accountants, lawyers, entrepreneurs and other educated people that would do as good a job or better on Parliament Hill if they were so inclined. Creating the inclination for these people is the problem. These professions are all highly lucrative and free from the press when practiced in the private sector. But as soon as you become a politician, especially one in power, your entire life comes under mindbending scrutiny. This must be almost unbearable - having to watch everything you say in both formal and informal circumstances, seeing your family come under attack on occasion (Brian Mulroney had to endure Frank magazine’s lurid contest regarding his daughter), dealing with party infighting, and in general, never having any peace because of all the things that politicians must endure. No doubt they deserve most of it. However, all the while, if you are a former lawyer, accountant or otherwise prosperous individual, you are enduring a massive pay cut in comparison with what you could be earning in the private sector. I’m not saying that politicians should be paid more because they are starving - they are quite well off. However, when one considers the skills necessary, one cannot help but think that there are thousands of people who would do a very good job, but are simply not willing to take a pay cut on top of losing all the other privileges enjoyed by a private citizen. I certainly can’t blame them. As a result, many of the politicians we have are often incredibly patriotic and wellintentioned, yet incompetent. Others are very shrewd and effective, yet are not very well-intentioned, or worse, harbour an unhealthy lust for power. It is rare that one finds a politician that is intelligent, patriotic and competent at his or her job (it is rarer still that

that may never come. It should not be a surprise to any Canadian citizen when the federal government, which until the 1970s embraced an official policy of assimilation of Aboriginal people and with only a handful of Aboriginal members even today, cannot comprehend the depth of Native frustration or muster the motivation to deal with it. It is astonishing that Native people have now resorted to violence and destruction more frequently than they already have. Well, perhaps it is not astonishing after all if one considers that the police and the military are always keen to try out their new tactics and equipment on an inferior force, including women and children, as the entire nation saw during the socalled Oka crisis and, more recently, in Somalia. If Merlihan really wants to contribute to the peaceful resolution of Native grievances, he or she should simply demand that the Government of Canada cheerfully and efficiently meet its obligations, starting by assigning enough capable and innovative offi-

one finds such a person in the United States except, of course, for the patriotic part). This often results in poor governments riddled with either incompetence or corruption. Take, for instance, the Mulroney government. It gave us free trade and the GST two of the smartest things that this country has ever done, even if one or both of them was poorly timed. However, with the plethora of investigations and books appearing now alleging corruption, it appears that there was a healthy dose of self-interest in the cabinet. Why? They needed jobs when they got out. You don’t go back to Bay Street looking for a high-powered job after ten years without having made or having kept some friends along the way, either through policy measures or more direct means. It was the politicians’ way of securing their future and compensating themselves for the pay cut the) took over the past ten years. It was not justified, but it certainly was not surprising. I propose that we pay politicians rough11 double what we pay them now, putting the ministers’ salaries with the important port-folios well over the $20O,CMXl mark but below $300,000. You might call this more than a little excessive, but I think that it would merely pay them a salary more in line with their market value outside of the realm of politics. By doing this, we could improve the pool of candidates and hopefully elect more competent politicians. This would be the most important benefit. The incentive to line one’s pockets while in power would also be seriously reduced, althlough not eliminated. An added bonus would be that we could furtherjustify increased restrictions and drastic cuts in MP’s pensions. In the long run, it could even be cheaper.. One might argue that this idea is a double-edged sword: instead of getting merely power-hungry people attracted to politics, you might also get power- and money-hungry people coming in. Well, I still have faith in the democratic process. I think the public can determine what is in its best interests. I don’t ever expect that this will become a reality, just because the public &es have the power to look out for its own best interests. Still, it would be interesting to see a study done on the feasibility and implication of this idea. But I wouldn’t trust the government to do it...

Issues cials to the task of resolving or implementing Native claims. Merlihan could start a personal crusade to provide more information to other unenlightened Canadians in order to prevent further inflamnnatory invective from sparking yet another example of inconvenient, but obviously effective, civil disobedience. Finally, even uninformed, privileged and opinionated non-Natives like Merlihan are sitting up and taking notice now that another summer of barricades and tragedy has passed into Canadian history. Violent protests need not happen again, but probably will until substantive progress is made. Native people are not always “right,” whatever that means. However, Merlihan is quite correct to feel guilty, pissed off, and frustrated for them. I am sure Native people would appreciate some informed criticism of the status quo, increased dialogue, and improved understanding from non-Native writers-assuming Merlihan makes the effort to get the facts right next time. It would make a pleasant change. 4ury

Watching Big Brother H

ave you ever walked into a room where a large group .is watching television? Or have you ever taken a moment to look around in a movie theatre? Almost every person in these contextsis utterly fixated, a state not found in many other circumstances. That particular state of mind is something that most North American children are very familiar with. To these kids, TV is more than entertainment. It is like an older sibling giving advice, cracking jokes, and telling stories. Why is it so fascinating? One reason for this may be the utter relaxation that watching TV facilitates. It makes relaxing stressed physical or mental muscles easy. But simple relaxation does not make people cheer on a sports team, empathize with a situational comedy, or cry during a movie. There are deeper connections between what’s on and whose watching. These connections exist in stories. In every culture, storytelling is a central tradition, It helps us to understand what is around us and inside us. Many First Nations elders would describe it as a tool that can craft ideals. The Judeo-Christian tradition emphasis on the story {or parable) is illustrated in Matthew (Chapter 13), “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.” Carl Jung described mythology as the collective cultural dream. Stories are powerful tools. In less modem cultures, the

elders hold the role of the storyteller. In the modem context, this job is filled by parents, teachers, and (for several hours of many kids ’ day) the media. Both parents and teacher are accountable to whoever is listening. The media, however, is mainly accountable to the advertiser. What kind of story does this scenario create? To start with, it is

Parents and teachers are accountable to whoever is listening... not so with the media one about consumption. The advertiser uses the media to increase consumption of whatever is being sold, whether it is beneficial or not. This attitude leads to the media’s main rhetorical message: “Turn your wants into needs,” In this story the main characters, bold and beautiful, realize their search for happiness in what they buy. The surrounding programming, being accountable to the integrity of their sponsors’ messages, is often built with similar underpinnings. The message of material happiness, although more subtle, is ingrained in most situational comedies, quiz shows, and movies. This

shows up well in price tag titles such as Beverly Hills 90210 or The Price is Right. The power of this money message becomes more striking when observed outside of the Western setting. Much of the third world, although less affected than ourselves by consumerism, sees our lifestyle as an ideal worth striving for. This is demonstrated in the slum areas of Calcutta, India, for example, where nine out of ten makeshift brick or concrete oneroom houses contain a small television and two-storey antenna. European and North American imports constitute about one third of the programming. These shows mainly tell the story of the road to satisfaction paved with wealth and individual gain. In his novel “1984,” George Orwell describes a society where Big Brother dictates the wants and needs of people while watching through the eyes of a television. Such a dictatorship of thought is not so fictional. The effect that the consumerist Big Brother has on our lives is seen in his contribution to both our need to buy more and the support for that mentality found in developing countries. The advertisers’ domination of the media’s story is not yet subject to intense public examination. The emphasis on the roles of teacher and parent in story telling is declining. It appears that Big Brother isn’t watching us, we are watching him. -Tim

Reflections on Thanksgiving

s everyone prepares to go home for the long weekend, I am pondering the nature of Monday’s holiday. Webster ‘s Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language, published in 1957, defines Thanksgiving Day as “the date set aside each year for praising God for His mercies.” Because I am an agnostic, Thanksgiving no longer holds this meaning for me. In fact, after numerous recent discussions, I don’t think this holiday holds much meaning at all for most of my peers. If they do think about it, it is as a day when they’re not required to work or go to school. I’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving a great deal lately. Following are some of the things it means to me personally. First of all, I’ve got to try to use the long weekend to get ready for midterms. This will be tricky because all of my old high school friends meet in our home town (Simcoe) for Thanksgiving weekend. We pack the local bars, have a few drinks together, discuss old times and chat about what we’ve been up to lately. Thanksgiving also means The Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show, an attraction I’ve visited pretty much every year of my life, will be going on in Simcoe. There are rides, games, animals, taffy and pogo dogs, art&and crafts, races, and a demolition derby. As well, Thanksgiving naturally means a traditional family

gathering for turkey dinner. This Thanksgiving dinner will be a difficult, bittersweet event for my family because it marks the one-year anniversary of my Aunt Susan’s death. She was young and loving and she passed away unexpectedly. “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,” she would have said. I truly hope for her sake that she was right in her spiritual beliefs, and that she is now in heaven. Her passing hurt us all, but it also made me realize how little I’ve appreciated the things I have, My life has been pretty much charmed so far, allowing me to take things for granted and to wallow in the sort of self-indulgences and personal dramas I’ve been writing about here. Is there a deeper significance to Thanksgiving? I seem to remember learning as a child about the origin of the American holiday. We were taught that this holiday dates back to an historical event a few centuries ago when the pilgrims of the Mayflower and the native Americans shared a feast to celebrate the bounty of the harvest. Did this really happen? If so, what made the aboriginals agree to sit down at the same table with the pilgrims? Perhaps the occasion represents the strength and generosity of the native Americans, and their willingness to seek out some sort of peaceful understanding. In the present controversy surrounding Canadian-Aboriginal re-

lations, some of us seem to have forgotten about the brutal abuse of aboriginal trust and rights. I recently visited Martyrs’ Shrine near Midland, Ontario for the first time, and found it a confusing, disturbing experience. The shrine glorifies the Jesuit missionaries. According to the promotional pamphlet for Martyrs’ Shrine, the Jesuits “labored among the Huron Indians of the Georgian Bay area... A number of these intrepid pioneers met death by martyrdom.” What does this mean, “Death by martyrdom?” These pioneers are celebrated by Christians as heroes and martyrs, but couldn’t it be just as possible that they were actually deluded tyrants? That would certainly provide a more reasonable explanation why they were killed; they represented a force which stole aboriginal lands, and proceeded to try to force-feed the wronged aboriginals a foreign religion. I know that I have a great deal for which to be thankful. My life is easy and filled with opportunities. No one has persecuted me because of my race or creed. I’ve never really had to fight for my rights. My ancestors were not slain on a rnassive scale for the sake of someone else’ s greed. This Thanksgiving, I’m going to take some time to reflect on my many “blessings,” and to make the most of the time I share with my loved ones. -Ekhzine

Wal-Mart, Hanes underwear, and UW here is a group pursuing major change here at Waterloo, and I’m not referring to President Downey’s Commission on Institutional Planning. I’m referring to the Faculty Association, which is currently pursuing certification. In other words, they are investigating the possibility of becoming unionized. Among the students 1 speak to, there is little consensus as to whether unions serve a purpose in modem society. While some believe that unions protect workers’ rights, others believe while that may have once been true, at some point along the way, unions became too powerful and began to make unreasonable demands. Others believe that the gamut of workplace rights now guaranteed by federal and provincial legislation make the role of unions redundant. I fall into that first category. Very generally, if a group of workers wishes to unionize to enhance their rights, then more power to them. I do have a few problems with the specifics of some labour legislation - for example I think that the use of replacement workers during a strike should be allowed but Mike Harris is going to take care of that particular bugbear in the near future. Basically though, I am very much in favour of strong democratic unions.

There are exceptions. I don’t believe that essential services such as those provided by police, power companies, Canada Post, and the like should be compromised by strike. People depend on services like these far too much to allow them to be sacrificed because of the self-interest of competing groups. Do University Professors fall into this category? Of course not. Should University Professors be slung into a category with WalMart workers or the underwear inspecters for Hanes? Of course not. I really hate to buy into this carpor&e-speak which Mike Harris and his caucus are using for universities, but I want to frame this argument in the simplest terms possible. And, to be honest, viewing complicated issues through corporate-speak makes them seem quite simple (which may be why this is the jwgon of choice for Tories). The most obvious difference between UW and Wal-Mart or Hanes is that we are funded largely through public tax dollars. Even more significant, however, is the reason why. Universitiesare funded with public dollars because the public benefits greatly from the various

Of course, you could have a bit of difficulty getting all of the signatures you need after your profs are walking the picket lines. If the strike breaks out midsemester, you’re SOL.

believe in this bad enough that we’re willing to sacrifice, so that you have to sacrifice, so that you finally realize what this means!” Universities don’t work that way, though. If you’ve been going to Laurentian University for two years, and the professors there go on strike, you can’t justshop somewhere else without significant repercussions. As things stand, you’ll lose the time that the professors are on strike, and probably more. For engineers, that means at least one semester due to accreditation requirements. After a month (probably less) it’s not feasible for any classes to occur for that semester in any faculty. “Ah-hah,” you’re thinking, “I can just transfer to another university.” Well, yes you can. You can also kiss off a year of your studies. As it stands right now most universities will only allow you to bring one-quarter of the credits required for your program with you. Four year program, one year allowed. Boom - you’re fucked. You’ll be out one year’s tuition, books, and living expenses. Also, don’t forget that if you take one year longer to graduate, that one year’s less income you’ll earn in your lifetime, to put towards your house, car, pension, or what looks like it will be the

is because they haven’t considthe ramifications of unionizaor if it’s because they aren’t what role they should play. It really is horribly inexcusable for our student government to not keep students up to date on an issue so profoundly important as certification of our university’s faculty. Even if they don’t know what to say at this point, I’m sure that they would gainsome insight along the way. On the many issues that need to be decided before the UW Faculty Associa~ian becomes a Union, the student voice needs to be heard. It can’t be heard from the position of exclusion it currently seems willing to accept. It is equally inexcusable for the University not to insist that students have a voice in this process for a variety of reasons. With both levels of government calling for increased accountability from universities, (and the Council of Ontario Universities calling for massive tuition increases, it is inevitable that UW students will play a larger role in the governance of this institution than the small role they do now. With such a profound issue before the University, now would be a good time to start. Secondly, the students of this university are of a high calibre. Most catapult t hemselves into highquality jobs, or even start their own successful businesses quickly after graduation. In these positions, many will confront this very issue. To suggest that the piece of paper they receive in the interim is what makes the difference in their ability to successfully grasp these issues is ludicrous. To the credit of all involved, no one has yet suggested this. Of course, for some reason beyond reason, the legitimate student representatives have not yet sought participation. Students should be very concerned with faculty certification. The Federation of Students should be trying to get a seat at the table. Both the University and theFaculty Association should invite the ongoing input of the Federation. Given the possible consequences, to do any less would be unfair to the students of this campus.

still face problems getting into any courses, since most universities give priority to their own students rather than transfer students. “Ah-hah,” you’re thinking, “I’ll be in huge trouble if a strike ever occurs.” Yes, dear reader, you would be screwed. Royally. At this point, I may have given the impression that I am against professors having the power to strike. I’m not. We won’t be in mortal danger if education is temporarily denied us, we’ll just be severely inconvenienced. All I’m trying to do is to point out that this issue is very relevant to students. Despite that, students have until this time been excluded from the process. Administrators, who will bear the brunt of negotiating with a newly-empowered union, are solely responsible for designing a memorandum of understanding between the University and the Faculty Association. Students, who will suffer the most from a strike, have been totally excluded from the process. Both sides will use us as pawns, or bargaining chips. Most professors would not like the idea of making the students suffer; the University knows this. The University can’t afford to lose the tuition and government grants a strike would cost; the Faculty Association knows this. The Federation of Students has not made any effort to become involved in this area. I don’t know if

Why

Ontario (I’m

s you all hopefully are aware, Quebec is having a referendum (again) to decide whether or not to seek to become a sovereign state (but only after they offer an undisclosed economic deal to the rest of Canada). The reasons why? Well, historically, they think the rest of the nation hasn’t being listening to their whining enough. They look at the failure of the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown agreement (where they demanded“specia1 status”) as a rejection of their entire culture, so they don’t want to play with us anymore. Fine. Personally, I don’t really care what they do. I would rather not see Montreal go anywhere, as it is a very cool city to get pissed in, but since my travel budget is limited at the moment, it really doesn’t make a whole lot of difference. However, what I would love to see is the start of a separationist movement right here in Ontario.

Quebec, if it separates, is undoubtedly going to face some economic hardships. Not only are all the sweet deals they’ve sucked out of whimpy politicians (and been handed by pro-Quebec politicians like Mulroney) going to vanish, but I expect a considerable amount of the anglophone businesses are going to relocate. And if this wasn’t enough, French-only Quebec is going to have more than a little trouble trading in an anglophone business world. On the other hand, an independent Ontario could expect to reap riches. How? Well, I’ll tell you. Right now, almost all provinces receive $3 from the federal government for every dollar they spend on welfare. Ontario receives approximately $.28. This is the LOWEST subsidy rate in the counUYBut welfare is not the only program where the federal government gives Ontario less money than

separate

should not kidding) every other province. There are several more. But why? On what grounds can the government get away with this? Simple. Because Ontario is, by far, the country’s richest province. We have one third of the entire population, and the vast majority of the industrial capacity. So, supposedly, we can pay for our own programs, as well as the rest of the provinces. If we were to separate, there would be no reason to offer the rest of Canada some economic deal. We would be rolling in cash. No more

income tax! No more GST! All of the other provinces would be coming to us ! While we may need some food imports, Ontario is fairly well-endowed with natural resources-fresh water, lumber, minerals. These would be refined and exported, or perhaps even sold as is. And in the high-tech world of the future, when highly educated workers will be in increasingly high demand, Ontario will be ready. Few areas in the world (if any) have such a concentration of brain power

as Ontario does. We’ve got UW, U of T, Queens, and when all those graduates get snapped up, companies can even employ people with diplomas from Nippissing, Brock or Laurier !I To sum up, if Quebec separates, I think they’ll be screwed. But if Ontario goes, we’ll be set. Somebody start a Sovereign Ontario Now! party before the next provincial election. You’ll get my vote. -James

The University Myth

‘m a first year student, and I’ll admit it - I was nervous about coming to university. A bit worried, even. Why? Because for the last five years all I’d heard about university was that it was hell, an intellectual torture chamber. Better forget about sleep, because you’ll need a 27 hour workday to finish the assignments, essays and exams they’ll be tossing at you every time you turn around. I’m in Arts, and I can’t presume to speak for anyone else. But just about everything they - the infamous, faceless They - have been saying about university existence (not life, you won’thave a life at university, They say) has been a lie. And now few notes on some lies I’ve uncovered: please clip and send back to your high school friends. Let’s end the conspiracy of They... There’s no denying there’s more learning to be done. But how much more work are we really doing? Remember, the point of high school was to keep hormonally charged teenagers off the streets for forty hours a week, ten months of the year, for five or six years. (At my old high school, they’ve just changed the course schedule so it’s physically impossible to graduate in under five years. Conspiracy?) It’s baby-sitting with government approval. High school doesn’t have work, it has make-work. Did I need to spend forty hours a week commuting to, and being in, classes? No. With a re-organization of the high school system, and a little responsibility from parents {I can hear the whining now... “Parents held responsible for the education of their children? But that’s the govem-

ment’s job!“), high school could be over in, say, three years. But it’s not, and it never will be. It wouldn’t do to have the teenagers free from their cages - sorry, classrooms. Responsibility... university provides responsibility. We have to feed ourselves (or eat at the cafeteria - although herein the use of the word ‘food’ may be debatable). We have to teach ourselves, with a little assistance from regularly scheduled classes. The penalty for missing classes is failure, not yet more hours of imprisonment in classrooms, Failure is a much less tangible punishment at least until you’re sitting in the same class for the second time. My OAC English teacher assigned an essay a week, ‘to prepare for university.’ Yet, in my UW English class, there are only three papers to be written - one in class, one seven-page term paper, and one exam. Considerably less work. Then again, screw up once and you may as well drop the class. What makes university work difficult is not that there’s too much of it, but that there’s too little. You’re no longer being spoon-fed. On the other hand, if you understand what’s going on, you’ve made it. Conveniently, everything about the university experience makes it easy to learn. The university isn’t part of the world as we used to know it. It exists to teach. All the distractions of home are gone. Home now consists of a computer, stereo, and thirty textbooks. Close your door, seal yourself off, sit down and work for a few hours. And thank God you’ve escaped the prison system. -Ratrick

r. Avraham Seia is a professor of Middle-Eastern studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is currently conducting a class at Univerisity of Waterloo. An expert on regional politics in the Middle East, Dr. Sela will be presenting a public lecture, The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process: Toward a New Middle East?, on Wednesday, October 11, at 7:30 p.m. in C.L. Siegfried Hall, St. Jerome’s College. Imprint interviewed Dr. Sela on September 27,1995, the day before the official signing of the Oslo-2 agreement. Firstly, what are your impressions of Canada? Well, my main experience outside of Israel has been in the United States, so I’m more familiar with what is going on there. Canada is different in many ways. One major thing, and this has to do with the people that I meet here, are the racial issues and what they call the Aboriginal peoples. During my time here, there have been a number of cases of peoples who have captured some land, at Ipperwash and others, these have came out. To me it’s new, I guess for many other people it’s not a new issue. Of course the whole problem of Quebec, which is now coming to a point of decision, is also interesting. I”m not entering into the question of who’s going to win. I’m just referring to the fact that Canada still has to go through the painful and agonizing process of dealing with people who want separation. You’re drawing a parallel aren’t you? Yes, it’s not the same context, but I’m getting the impression that many people think that this is simply some game. I .think it’s serious, and the people who want separation are very serious. They may be considered extremists, but they mean what they’re doing. Now, can you compare your views of university students there and here? I’ve really not been here enough time to compare students. I can tell you more about Israeli students. What I see here is normal people, normal ignorance, and at the same time, some students who are extremely knowledgeable. For the most part, Israelis in university are more mature, possibly because they have just come from army service. I believe that people here, just like in Israel, have to work to make a living, but that people in Israel take their studies less seriously than here.

Would you say that they take their studies less seriously because they have other, bigger things to worry about? Definitely. People come late to university, they are eager to start working. I’m not looking for explanations, and I’m not sure that this is a sufficient reason for being less curious or less interested in getting to know more or being more intellectual. Tell me about the peace agreement. It will be signed tomorrow, in Washington. Clinton will hold a ceremony for both sides, and it will be broadcast all over the world. The agreement is called Oslo2. The main part has been done during the last few months, between the two sides, long negotiations and painful difficulties that delayed the point of reaching an agreement. ’ Do you think that it will be successfui? Yes. Do you think that it will bring a certain amount of peace? Yes, I’m one of those who thinks that Palestinians mean to deepen the mutual confidence and co-existence between the two sides. Israel has failed in governing the territories. The only authority that has the ability to govern and to introduce law and order into the Palestian society is the Palestian government. I’m sure that by expanding the autonomy and the Palestinian na-

We are now dealing with realities, not with sentiments: The Oslo-2 is just another step in a journey which will not end in the very near future. It could end in the near future, compared to how long this conflict‘has been going on. I know, but people’s memories are very short. On the other hand, people’s expectations are very high. They expect to just end everything immediately. They were expecting to have peace on earth, but this is not what reality is. Reality is a painful process of change, and it’s not easy for either side. I’ve been watching television recently on CNN, and the settlers from the Hebron that are being interviewed all speak perfect English. They all seem to be of American origin.

most of the Israeli political body is not behind them. The agreement has buried, for now, the idea of a greater land of Israel. Now, the Likud will have to find another idea to rely on as its political platform. This has been the major issue in conflict since 11967 (Yom Kippur war). Now, the elections are more than one year ahead, and if this agreement is implemented and creates more security, less terrorist attacks, and more stability, then the prospects of this govemement to be re-clected is high. Now, with the gradual withdraw1 from the West Bank andGaza, Israel is sending aclear message that we are giving up the idea, or the claim for these territories as part of the homeland. If we need a foothold in thoseplaces,it’sforsecurityonly. Now, with the growing consolidation of Palesitinian selfgoverning authority, the question of Israeli Arabs will come up strongly. They are frustrated, and their problem has not been addressed. The Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza will have a state. They remain the discriminated citizens of the state of Israel. This will also have to be dealt with. . Do you think that the Palestian area,with new autonomy, will co-operate with Israel in terms of economic or military issues? There is already an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian national authority oneconomic relations. There is a clear need for the Palestinians to access the Israeli economy, because they depend on the income from labour in lsrael. Israel cannot deny or ignore thisneed, even though marry Israelis would want to see no Palestinians coming from the territories into Israel. But, the Israeli economy is in need of this labour power, and it is accepted basically positively. With regard to security, Israelis and Palestinians have already been doing that, on a lower level and much more limited scale. Under the provisions of the Oslo-2 agreement, there is going to be much larger co-operations between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian policemen in joint patrols. Israel has more than 140 settlements spead out all overthe West Bank. There will have to be co-operation between Israelis and Palestinians in order to keep law and order and guarantee the security of these settlements. Both sides should be patient, and understand that this process takes take time. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope that you have a safe trip back to Israel.

Likud have become stronger that the Likud should not be part of this activity, and that it won’t help the Likud in the next election (November 1996). On one hand, you have a very determined group of people to whom this agreement is a disaster, because some of them might have to leave their homes in the West Bank and Gaza. It is also the collapse of a whole vision for the greater land of Israel. They won’t be able to win their fight because

Big runs + Big D = Mac sandwich Warriors by Peter Imprint

even their record at 2-2, look forward

Brown staff

ram the basement to the playoff hunt. Not a bad couple of weeks. After starting the season O-Z, the University of Waterloo Warrior football squad last Saturday won their second straight game, 33-7 over the McMaster University Marauders, and can now talk, with a straight face, about making the playoffs. Of course, the season is only half over, but if the Warriors keep playing the way they did last weekend, they have a good shot. For the second straight game, the offence fired on all cylinders, rolling up 377 yards rushing and 483 yards total, led by the Jarrett Smith-Mike Malott one-two punch. Smith’s 145 yards and one touchdown was enough to earn him Ontario Universities Athletic Association athlete of the week honours, while Malott managed 124 yards, despite having two big runs erased by penalties. “I was pleased with just about everything, except the penalties,” UW head coach Dave “Tuffy” Knight said. “We must have had another 150 yards of offence, but those penalties just killed us.” And, for the first time this season, the defence got the job done on the scoreboard, limiting McMaster to just 197 net yards and 10 first downs. “The result was not surprising after how hard we worked this week and last week,” said Chris Trianttilou, Waterloo’s defensive coordinator. “After being embarrassed by Windsor, we’ve had a blue-collar work ethic, and today we had an upper-class result and it’s starting to pay dividends.”

Mike Malott upends Jarrett Smith looks of the week.

(literally) downfield.

The defence set the tone for the game early on when Tony Garland picked off McMaster quarterback Mike Kennedy at Mac’s 24-yard line. Three plays later, Malott steamrolled three yards for the major. The Warriors did not look back. McMaster did cut the lead to nine, 16-7, midway through the third quarter with a 21-yard Kennedy touchdown pass to Scott Sehl, but UW outscored the Marauders 17-O after that. Kevin Danschinko started at

quarterback, despite his nagging hip injury, running for 43 and passing for 93 more. Once again, backup Ryan Wilkinson entered the game in the fourth quarter, but this time UW had the luxury of a comfortable lead. He scored UW’s final touchdown late in the game. In other OUAA games, the dilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks claimed the nation’s top ranking by upsetting the previously top-ranked University of Western

to Guelph Ontario Mustangs in London. In Guelph, the York University Yeomen won their second in a row, 10-6 over the University of Guelph Gryphons, just one week after ending their 47-game losing streak. The [Jniversity of Toronto Varsity Blues topped the Lancers 12-O in Windsor. Tomorrow, the Warriors host the Gryphons at 2 p.m. at University Stadium, the first of two games versus Guelph, owing to this year’s expanded eight-game schedule. Year after year, it seems as though Waterloo meets Guelph on Thanksgiving weekend, on week five of the season, with both teams having a 2-2 record. The winner of the game goes to the playoffs, and the loser goes home. Well, this year, UW is 2-2 and still needs this win to continue to have a good change of getting to the postseason, but Guelph has been hard-done-by so far, without a single win on the year. Last weekend, the Gryphons led York 6-O before allowing 10 points and1 handing the Yeomen their second straight win since ending their llosing streak. The one bright light this year for the Gryphons is the performance of rookie quarterbackTed Dyer, who is fourth in the OUAA in passing yards with 842. Third place is a logjam in the OUAA this week, with Waterloo sharing a 2-2 record with Toronto Blues, York Yeomen, and McMaster Mauraders. Laurier is top at 4-0, with Western in second place at 3- 1. The Lancers are l-3. Waterloo still has games against Laurier and York, as well as another game at Guelph to round out the year.

Hockey team loses to Guelph, hammers Laurier in pre-season by Ryan Imprint

Pyette St&

he hockey Warriors opened up their 1495-96 exhibition with a pair of campaign games last week-end at Columbia Icefields, a nail-biter against the Guelph Gryphons and an ass-kicking of the Laurier Golden Hawks. Although both games were laden with rookies vying for spots on the big club, the results were surprisingly close to what has been predicted once the regular season rolls around. In the Guelph game, the Warriors did all their scoring in the first period, capitalizing on two powerplays and leading 3-2 after twenty minutes. Unfortunately, when the Warriors returned for the second period, they had traded their goalscoring sticks for their rubber ones,

and Guelph kicked their offense into gear. Unable to answer three Gryphon biscuits spread among the second and third periods, the Warriors dropped a hard-fought 5-3 battle. The Warriors who managed to bulge the twine were Sean Oliver, Sean Mohr (both power-play marks) and Mike Devereaux. Greg Esdale had two assists for the Warriors. The Waterloo netminding was shared by goalies Scott Pattison and Joe Benninger. Perhaps surprisingly, the power-plays were incredibly effective. The exhibition season commences usually prior to coaches concentrating on them. In the Gueiph game, the Warriors and Gryphs both potted two with the man advantage. In the Laurier game, the Warriors went crazy on the “pee-pee,”

notching five goals while a Hawk sat shamefully in the bin. The game was a testy affair, with ninety-four minutes in penalties, and a deserving two-thirds going to Laurier. The Hawks appear to be replacing talent with goonism, a practice that is only twenty years out-of-date. The Warriors scored four goals out of the gate, (of course, three were on the power-play), before Laurier had a chance to figure out what fine wooden structure they were in. Waterloo was merciless, pouring in two more in the second, and three more in the final frame. The Hawks had to be happy with scoring one goal per period. The fmal score was 9-3 for the Warriors. Godscorers for the Warriors were Mike Devereaux and Dale Wismer, with a pair each, and Brian

Holk, Sean O’Sullivan, Derek Austin, Dan Mundell and Greg Fullerton with singles. Joe Benninger, Todd Russett, and Scott Pattison all played in lthe Warrior net. This weekend, the Warriors cohost the Annual Oktoberfest Tournament with the Golden Hawks. The Warriors won it last year with a dramatic shoot-out win when Greg Allen put one upstairs. This year’s tournament should be just as interesting. Waterloo takes on Ottawa on Friday in a bracket that includes both teams plus Brock and Guelph. The ILaurier Hawks’ bracket includes Warrior division rivals Western and Windsor, as well as York. The Warriors open their regular season October 27th against the Western Mustangs.

Athenas beat Queens lose to Universitv by Rachelle and Bemice special to

Brohman Wiilemse

the Athenas in the loss column for the first time this season. The next game pitted Waterloo against Queens and Amy Adair provided the spark offensively by deflecting one home for a 1-O Athena lead. Amy also got things going emotionally by being issued a Green Card and a tongue lashing from the umpire when Adair played the ball after the whistle. Luckily, Amy has grown accustomed to these situations and took everything in stride. The story of the game was the injured Racheiie Brohman, who deserved the Purple Heart of Courage for her efforts. Subbed on only for penalty corners, Brohman was able to score the clincher and lift the Athenas to a 2-O lead. Finally, Carolyn Stark continued her steady play by scoring an insurance marker to help the Athenas claim the 3-O win over Queens. The final game of the weekend for the Athenas was against Trent.

ast Friday, the Waterloo Athenas faced their toughest match of the season against the University of Toronto Blues. An uncharacteristic defensive breakdown early in the first half cost the Athenas a goal. However, later on, Carolyn Stark evened the score up at I- 1 by picking off a predictable pass and blasting a laser beam past the Toronto goaltender. From that point, the Athena defcnce turned into a brick wall, led by goalie Yolanda Lewchuk and sweeper Sarah Creighton. Unfortunately, the Blues were able to break the tie, scoring on a dribbler, one of those frustrating, heartbreaking goals that elude everyone and usually end up in the breaking of one’s stick over one’s knee.

Baseball Play-offs to determine sport’s future by Ryan Imprint

Pyette staff

ajor league baseball, which has taken a beating over the past year, now enters the second season. However there is a different feeling surrounding the baseball scene nowadays. There is a wariness projected from the fans that speaks, “Show us something we can get excited about.” In order for baseball to avoid becoming the CFL of the four major sports, the play-offs will have to be the spark that lights the fire in the hearts of the pissed-off fans. The new format, like it or not, will at least allow four more regions to take interest in the games.

* DELIVERY

The way it is set up, the wild card and three division winners in each league will play five-game series to determine who goes to the League Championship Series. From there, the four teams (two left in each league) play seven-game sets to decide the ‘two pennant winners, who will then play a seven-gamer for the big prize - the World Series. Already, after seeing the match-ups, there is a problem. The New York Yankees, who hold the American League wild card spot, are playing Seattle in the first round. The Mariners, who eeked into the play-offs by winning a divisional tie-breaker against California, fmished twenty-three games behind AL Central winner Cleveland. Common sense would dictate

that the Yanks play the Indians. Nope. Boston plays Cleveland in one of the more puzzling aspects of this year’s play-offs. In the National League, Atlanta (who chokes every year) plays Colorado, with the victor to take on the winner of the LA DodgersCincinnati Reds series. After watching the first games being televisedon Tuesday, I would have to say I was surprised about a number of things. First of all, the television coverage, handled by NBC, really sucked. I mean, it was bad stuff. The TV screen was split in half in order to show the update game together with the feature game. This was hard to watch. A full-screen thirty second update of scoring

Yankee Stadium jammed in the most people since they added renovations to the place back in 1977. There were 50,000 in the Kingdome on Monday, too, for the divisional tie-breaker. People want to watch. Whether or not they are bandwagon jumpers is doesn’t matter.The fans are coming out. Thirdly, the games are pretty friggin’exciting. Usually, a ballgame is about as fun as clean-

ing out the toilet, but these games have some bonafide drama. Home runs, strikeouts, and stolen bases, the three keys to a good ballgame, are plentiful so far. Before anyone gets over-excited, the jury is still out on the game. However, more nights like Tuesday bode well for the future of the sport. The league already has their first wish - no Blue Jays. The dream match-up for the league will feature a World Series between Los Angeles and New York, the mediacapitals of America. and this isadistinct possibility since both teams are still alive. Any way you look at it, it is of interest to see how baseball fares now that their backs are firmly against the wall.

ATHENA & WARRIOR SWIMMING The fourth annual UW Biathlon took place Friday on-campus as competitors from Brock and Toronto battled it out with our own UW athletes in swimming and running events. In the swimming events, UW’s women’s team finished with 57 points, well behind the strong U of T team with 101 points. Brock had no competitors in this area. Strong finishes came from She@ Sanders, 2nd in the 50 metre backstroke and in the 100 metre independent medley, Doris Ho, 2nd in the 100 meter backstroke, Jennifer Pells, 2nd in the 50 and 100 metre butterfly,

Amy Merschback,2nd in the 200 metre freestyle. The 100 medley relay team finished 2nd. UW’s men’s team narrowly lost to the U of T team with 80 points to their 94.

ATHENA & WARRIOR ROWING In their second league competition of the season, the rowing team was “row”ling right along with more strong performances at the head of the Trent Regatta this past Saturday. In men”s action, rookie David Coode had another excellent finish, taking second place in the men’s heavyweight singles race. Last week, Coode started his seasons off with a third place finish at ihe Toronto Sprints. Other strong UW finishes came from the lightweight doubles tealm who took third and the light and heavyweight four teams which placed fourth. The women’s team had a third place finish in lightweight doubles action and another sixth in heavyweight fours. The team will give their oars a rest, taking a week off from competition, and will return October 14th at the Brock Open.

Other Waterloo scores were Andrew Falcone with 83, Jason Alexander with 85 and Steve Woods with 85. Drew Symons shot the best round of the day with 72. On Tuesday, at the McMaster Invitational held at Heron Point Golf Club, the Waterloo team, didn’t fare so well, struggling to a 7th place finish, behind Ottawa. As can be expected from a poor team result, no Waterloo individuals placed in the top ten. Steve Woods came back from a disastrous front side of 44 to shot 36 on the back for a very respectable 80 which was tied for 1 lth. Mark Zecchino from York posted a fine 72 to win low individual honours. Other Waterloo scores were Kelly Slough with 81, Darren Zink with 82, Andrew FaIcone with 87 and Jeff White with 92.

Rugby Warriors Playoff Hopes on the Ropes by Mark Imprint

Morrison staff

h what a day. Last Saturday the Rugby Warriors travelled to London to take on the 2-O Western Mustangs. After 80 minutes of frustration at the hands of the referee, a barrage of penalties and the occasional look to the heavens for help. the Warriors walked off the pitch on the short end of a 45 12 score. On paper this should have been one hell-of- a game, and in the first half it was. There was a lot of open running and hard forward play. The score was close and the leadchanged hands three different times. All the characteristics of a classic confrontation. But the penalty factor came into play at the end of the first half and plagued the Warriors for the duration. Penalties cost Waterloo valuable field position and prevented the rugby machine from gaining any sort of momentum. The Warriors did show flashes of their offensive potential, marching themselves down to the Mustang goal line on four seperate occasions. Penalties again though prevented Waterloo from converting field position into points.

Waterloo earned all of their 12 points from penalty kicks, stroked through courtesy of Steve Goodacre. Goodacre made his varsity debut on Saturday and showed why he got the call, playing a strong game on the wing. The Warriors showed deter-

That determination wasn’t enough, however, to stop, what some are calling, ‘the best offense in the OUAA. The next stretch of Warrior games is crucial to the teams success this season. With three games over the next nine days, the Warriors will find themselves busy and with ample opportunity to turn the season around. This afternoon at 3:00, the Warriors kick off against the O-3 Guelph Gryphons at the Columbia Lake fields. The much weakened

Guelph team could prove to be the turning point in the Warriors season. Wednesday October 11 th, the Warriors travel to IJamiiton to take on McMaster and then host Westem on Saturday the 14th. Sitting presently at O-3, the Warriors need to record some wins if they hope to see action in

The junior varsity Warriors saw their game slip away on Saturday afternoon, much as their varsity counterparts did. Blessed with a more favourable official, the JV Warriors all but dominated the first half of their game, taking a 6-5 lead into half time. A Mike Rourke try kept the Warriors competitive in the second frame, but was not enough to carry them to victory, with the final tally going in the JV Mustangs favour, 24-13. Brad Miller highlighted a strong game, kicking two penalties and a convert, good for eight Warrior points. The junior varsity team face the same tough schedule as their varsity counterparts, needing to string together some wins of their own if they hope to be active in the post season.

Only the top four teams play in the playoffs, and when two teams are tied, the team that participates in the playoffs is decided based on “points for and against.” First, this entails looking at which team has won the most sets. The teams were both tied in this regard. Then, the number of points the team has won is evaluated. It was here that Brock pulled ahead and won the final spot.

top four we want to be, because we haven’t yet had a chance to check out the competition. So, for now our goal is to make it into the playoffs.” The team this year is a combination of veteran and new players, that makes this team deeper than ever before. Despite playing with six first year athletes, Deglau believes that the team will surprise its competition with its strength. The remaining players are full of enthusiasm and are ready to avenge last year’s disappointing end to the season. Setter and last year’s team captain, Andrea Kaufman is back for one more year, and OWIAA All-Star Colleen Deloyer will again be leading the attack from the middle. Other returning players include Paula Sloan, who is responsible for blocking against outside attack, and Ana Kasumovic and Sarah Kidd, both responsible for playing on the outside court. Ana’s strengths lie in her attack and passing abilities, while Sarah’s lie in hitting from the left side and defense. The Athenas played their first exhibition game on Wednesday against Laurier, and will be playing their second exhibition game against Brock this Thursday. Both these games give the team a chance to learn to work together in a competitive situation, to recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and to show other teams that in the 95-96 season, the Athenas are to be reckoned with. , , \ d . .

In singles action, Cindy Sabourin and rookie Gillian Bertleff both had outstanding showings winning in straight sets 6-O. The Athenas are off this weekend and play again next weekend at Toronto.

WARRIOR & ATHENA SOCCER Warrior and Athena soccer had tough weekends as they met the McMaster and Western on Saturday and Sunday. The Athenas put up a good battle to the #2 ranked McMaster team, but lost 3-f in the end. At the end of the first half, rookie Melanie Nayson put the UW team in the lead, and the team was confident that they would take the win. But McMaster answered with two quick come-back goals in the second half to steal the lead right out from under the Athena team. The Athenas played an extremely comparable game next to the tough McMaster team, but they couldn’t put the ball in the net to recover. Their record now stands at O-wins, -5 loss and 1 tie. On Sunday, the Athenas took on Western, losing another difficult game 3-O on home turf. Although the team is almost back to full strength, continued losses made it difficult for the Athenas to rally behind for an effective comeback. Rookie Erika Williams put forth an outstanding performance as defender against enemy attack. Williams rose to the challenge, markingandcuttingdown key strikers on both Mac and Western teams. Erika shut down their offence and limited their scoring chances in a great effort. The Warriors had a very disappointing weekend, losing both matches to the #l and #2 ranked teams in their OUAA West Division. On Saturday, they had a challenge on their hands as they went

S hods head to head with league leaders, the McMaster Maruaders. They lost 5-O in a disappointing loss. Goalkeeper Marc Depiero should be commended on playing an outstanding game, since he played a vital role for the team and kept the score respectable, On Sunday, the team played a very strong first half against the #2 ranked Western Mustangs , taking an early 1-O lead in the first half. Dominic Clamp was the lone goal scorer off a comer kick from UW’s Thomas Kishibe. But things went downhill in the second half, as warrior miscommunication and fatigue saw lthe Mustangs tie the match and then clinch the win late in the second half. Their record stands at 1 win, 3 losses and 2 ties. Both teams travel to Guelph this weekend for more action.

WARRIOR & ATHENA CROSS COUNTRY The Athena and Warrior cross country teams continued to dazzle the competition finishing 1st and 2nd respectively this past weekend at the Windsor Invitational. Veterans Jason Gregorie and Judith Leroy had her third luemendous weekend in a row, taking 1st place in the women’s 4.2 km with a time of 15:SO. Judith finished 13 seconds ahead of the next runner from Windsor. UW’s Cheryl Turner took 4th place in a time of l&24, followed by rookies Joelle Charmichael in 12th and Sarah Buck in 15th. In men’s action, the Warriors took second place overall, narrowly being defeated by the Windsor team by a mere two points! Veteran Jason Gregoire took first place for the third consecutive weekend, this time in the men’s 6.5 km race with a time of 20:2 1, leading the second place finisher by an amazing 1 minute and 13 seconds. Jason led after the first mile at 4:4 1 and never looked back! His closest competitor was UW’s own Baret Kilty with in 21:24. These two strong finishes, com’bined with rookie Michael Tripp’s 10th place 22:40 finish, led the Warriors to their tremendous second place finish.

by Kimberly Moser Imprint stabll henTony Garland arrived at training camp this year atop a brand new sports motorcycle, the rest of the Warrior players were speechless. Gone was Tony’s old bike, the one his teammates had affectionately coined the “wind-jammer.” The departure of the famous motorcycle, although insignificant at the time, symbolized the change in Tony Garland over his five year football career with the Warriors. “The bike kind of went with their image of me,” said the Warri-

Garland

self to that first year. Since the start of his football career he was constantly being told by his father that he would never make it as a universi ty football player. “He (my father) always told me ‘you’ll never play university ball, you’er too small’. It was not very encouraging and I think there was a lot in me that wanted to say ‘1 can do it’.” “So a lot of me just wanted to play. Not just to prove it to myself but prove it to him as well as anyone else who doubted me .” With that in mind, Tony set himself on a mission. He believed he was good enough to play uni-

He’s the @pe of guy if you’re in trouble, you wmt in your corner because he wun’t let you down!” -John ors’ star of the bike’s popularity with his teammates. “I didn’t really care. It was transportation from a to b. It was a 1977 Honda. It had a big windjammer on the front and a big silver carrier on the back. It wasn’t the best looking bike but it got the job done. That’s my image: not the best looking runner on the field, wasn’t the best athlete but got the job done.” Getting his job done has never been a difficult task for Tony Garland. However, getting an opportunity to do that job has been the hard Part* Looking at the muscular 5’ lo”, 185 lbs. rover you would never suspect that he was once nicknamed the “flea.” “In grade nine, I was the laughing stock of my team,” says the Warrior Captain. “I weighed 105 pounds and they nicknamed me the “flea.” I remember running around the field and other teams would be laughing because I was so small.” It would have been easy for Tony to quit that year. He was probably expected to do so by most people, but he never did. And, that is where the Tony Garland story truly begins. Never actually recruited by Waterloo, Tony set up a personal meeting with head coach Dave “Tuffy” Knight before he made a commitment to the Warriors. In his first year, Tony weighed in at 157 pounds, too small to even be se+ ously considered by Waterloo. But it was this type of enthusiasm to play the game that would stick with him throughout his turbulent years with the Warriors and would eventually win him a starting

spot. It

versity football and wanted to be a starter. He would suffer an enormous amount of heartache and humilation along the way. But he would eventually arrive at his destination as a starter for the Warriors. His first humiliation would last two seasons as he was forced to live his football days out of a garbage bag. “All of first year, I was part of what we call the “burger defence.” You are red-shirted and your a token defense to the starting offense. “In that year, we were still changing at Seagram Stadium. We had the main locker room but because there were so many guys, not everyone could fit in the locker room. They had this little junky thing off to the side where they’d have maybe nine or ten guys that they didn’t have room for. “I was one of those guys in the backroom. We had these little lockers and we had to take our equipment home every day because these lockers were for everyone. Ya, I did have a garbage bag for a locker because I had to take my equipment home everyday.” Tony was not alone in his humiliation that first year, as fifthyear cornerback Kirk Witter will attest to but, he was the only one there the following year as well. Forced to the confinements of the small room and the humiliation of being

the rest of

the team not only as a freshmen but also as a sophomore. Instead of quitting, like many others had, Tony focused on his goal. He worked hard in the offseason trying to get bigger and faster and near the end of that second year, he got into a game... or at

least he thought he had. “I remember one game my second year,” says Tony of the incident that would have been the last straw for many players. “Talk about frustrating! I dressed for the warm-up against Laurier because Fam Lone’s grandfather had died and they weren’t sure if he was coming back. It was a matter of numbers so I dressed. The special teams coach had put me on punt and kick-off return teams and a lot of my friends had come down to see the game. “I was taped, I went through the warm-up, the whole thing. I was ready to go when Coach tames up to me and says ‘you’re going to have to get changed. Fam’s here now. We can’t dress you, its a matter of numbers.“’ To anyone other than Tony Garland, this heartache would have sent them packing. Instead, it inspired him. “It wasn’t to prove it to anyone after that. It was a personal thing. There was something inside of me that kept saying I’m good enough to play in that position. That * s my spot l ” He was right. After two years of hard work, Tony Garland got his shot. He was named the Warriors starting rover and hasn’t looked back since. In 1994, his first full year as starting rover, he was named an OUAA All-Star and, this past weekend against McMaster he snagged his first interception of the season. Like his sleek new motorcycle, Tony Garland’s image has changed. In 1995, he has finally arrived. A rock of the defensive secondary, Tony has paid his dues to become one of the shining stars

Warrior Captain Tony Garland interception of the season against of this talented Warrior team. He is a captain, a leader on and off the field, not only for his football skills but for his amazing heart and determination. As a role model for rookies just starting out, he is a true example of what can happen when you believe in yourself and work hard. To his fellow teammates, he is an inspiration and respected not only as a player but also as a man. ‘“Tony is very inspirational to everyone,” notes fellow captain

By no meLin ah-aid or contemptuous of pulling out old singalong favourites like “Waiting Room,” which they did, Fugazi’s emphasis is now more prominently split between focused anger, like MacKaye’s “Bed For the Scraping” (of the mcmorablc “I don’t want to be defeated” refrain), or introspective experimentation, like Picciotto’s mournful “Downed City,” a song lamenting teens with guns. Naturally, the twin frontmen and songwriters are the primary stage focus, but the rhythm section of drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lally are as sharp and robust as any. Lally continues to play visibly against the grain, as he strikes a meditative pose behind a maelstrom of chaotic fury at the

ugazi is without a doubt one of the most important rock and roll bands on the planet. With a combination of great songwriting, deft musicianship, and severe conviction, the Washington, DC foursome are the idols of punk rock fans and hard core Do-lt-Y ourself enthusiasts everywhere. Years of hard work have earned the band an integrity that no amount of money can buy, and their supporters are amongst the most loyal anywhere. With such an intense fandom, concert-goers in southern Ontario were beside themselves in anticipation for the band’s first area performance in over two years. Despite the cruelty of the venue (the notoriously awful RPM Warehouse, a club which never fails to invite groans at its very mention), Fugazi did not disappoint. Following a weird address from an audience member about the rape of a friend (the speaker related how he once demonstrated a suprise assault on his girlfriend to prove how easy rape is...??), the band settled their single stage light and blasted forth a devastating intro of “Smallpox Champion,” “Reclamation,” and “Do You Like Me.” The immediate sonic assault served notice that contrary to a lot of widespread opinion, Fugazi has mellowed only marGuy hates the sound of guitars. ginally as adolescence slowly passes front of the stage.

his concert featured Collec tive Soul, a band with one of the largest selling albums of W4 in Hints, Allegariorzs and Thinks Lefl Umuid, and opening act Rusty. With both bands doing an extensive Canadian college campus tour, with gigs from Vancouver, across the prairies and currently in Ontario, both acts have been performing their asses off. Rusty started their set around nine o’clock and ended before ten. During their performance the band was more than able to coax the audience onto the floor. Though most listeners would know the band from their popular track “Wake Me,” Rusty were able to introduce the audience to a lot of their material from their newly released album Fluke. After a pause in the action with the crowd milling about and many thirsty listeners grabbing a quick refreshment, Collective Soul took the stage shortly after ten. With the lead singer, Ed Roland, using a blinking light to signal his arrival, Collective Soul broke out into their brand of pop rock to the raucous appreciation of the crowd which started moving in the only direction possible in the packed house, vertically. This was followed up by the popular track “Breath” which had many audience members mumbling

Words on Russia, Fred Schneider, and Other Topics Henry Rollins University of Toron to Convoeution Hull Saturday September 30, 1995 by Patrick Wilkins Imprint staff He’d been standing in line for over four hours to get a front-row seat. “Rollins is God!” Nods of agreement from the crowd behind him. Henry Rollins may not be a deity, but it seems like he’s done everything else. Although most famous as frontman for the seminal punk band Black Flag and later, the ultra-popular Rollins Band, he’s made his mark across the entertainment spectrum. He’s a writer (over a dozen books, most recently Get in the Vnn, an account of his Black Flag days), actor (The Chuse, Johnny Mnemonic), producer (Die Cheerleader), publisher (2.13.61 Publishing, named after his birthdate), record label owner (Human Pitbull and, with Rick Rubin, Infinite Zero), and, perhaps his least known achievement, spoken word artist. Spoken word. . .the phrase conjures bland images of dark coffeeshops, unpublished hacks spitting out plastic phrases. Or stand-up comedy masquerading under a politically polished title. The word might seem too complex for what Rollins does, because all he

does is speak. He speaks with clarity, originality, humour, and per-

sonality. Fourteen hundred people, mostly teenagers, paid $15 each to watch one of the busiest men in music talk. At 7130, Henry Rollins stepped onto the blue carpet at the U of T Convocation Hail, the mike in hand, and talked. And talked. And talked. He talked for three hours without pause. He talked about stamps, Indians, and Richard Nixon. He talked about his relationship with his mother, and about growing old. He used the stage as a soapbox, refuting rumours about his sexuality and getting back at the press members who’d help spread them. He promoted his literary and musical projects to a very willing audience and took more than a few shots at his least favourite rockgroup U2. Yet throughout the evening he never seemed to be acting; this was Rollins talking to they us, not running through a pre-rehearsed script. At times he even seemed n ‘vous, despite his 13 years on the sp ken word trail. When we

laughed, he turned his head and smiled politely . Sometimes we didn’; laugh when he talked about being in Mexico and seeing a child’s dead body lying by the roadside, wrapped in plastic and ignored. Or of his friend River Phoenix’s death by drug overdose. He managed to carry the audience between laughter and seriousness, entertaining while forcing them to think. I’m not sure how everything managed to flow together. Rollins can begin to talk about Russia, digress for fifteen minutes into airplane safety and Fred Schneider of the B52’s, return to Russia and cap off half an hour without stopping. Henry Rollins seems to be a man who has had celebrity thrust on him and feels obligated to use his position. He spent some time talking about safe sex, the dangers of drugs, and the evil of society. Yet he seemed embarrassed to be doing

ne of the many advantages of seeing a iess-than-wellknown band like Luna is the chance to witness them in a fantastically small setting like Lee’s Palace. You see the band with all their human attributes intact - no rock star pomp on such a small stage (though Oasis did play there a year ago) and this can make for a stellar performance. And that was the case last Saturday. Dean Wareham and the band took the stage at about 11: 15 and flowed through a set that captured their fantastic dreamy melodies in fine form. A crowded though not sold out club crowded forward to get a look, and swayed along most

politely the entire time. The band also looked sedate, a sort of calm energy running through them that’s the mood they’re seeking to set, and they do it well. It was a well informed crowd too, cheering at the introduction of songs from all three of their albums, as well as many recognizing the Beat Happening cover in the first encore. The material this time was a little more upbeat, breaking the normal downtempo cast that the band have. “Hedgehog” especially rocked out about as much as Luna ever have, and the first set closer “Time to Quit” saw the band buzzing madly over the strings of their respective instruments. Mellow pop glory was still the order of the evening with “Tiger Lily” a particular highlight, as well as “Chinatown.” As if this wem’t enough, the band showed an adaptabiity to the beast known as the guitar solo, displayed especially

during “23 Minutes in Brussels,” a breathtaking song that really soared in live performance. The band as seasoned musicians showed up here more than anywhere else. Dean’s lead guitar anchored by Sean Eden’s base rhythm proved a deadly combination sf melody and just enough dissonence to keep it interesting. These roles were switched for the second encore, a cover the Beatles “Rain.” It was a short set compared to their last Toronto show, but this may be explained by the fact that Mercury Rev were to open, and if this had been the case it may have been more of a double bill. In actuality, Squrl played a shorter set {and generally left no impression on this writer) and Luna were left holding the bag to fill time. If they had Laetitia Sandier for a round of “Bonnie and Clyde” it would have been perfect, otherwise it was only a few shades away.

so, apologizing several times for “trying to preach.” He did a lot of good that night. His audience had come to see a rock star. They saw a man uncornfortable with his status but having fun and determined to make the best of it. They came to see a movie star, and saw a guy who “acts like an actor” to talke “filthy Tri-Star money” and use it to help musicians who need it. He portrayed himself as a modem social Robin Hood, stealing from the corporation to help the starving independents. All this seems too good to be true. A musician unfettered by fame? A man1 who can name-drop Rick Rubin, River Phoenix, Madonna, Tom Petty, and Robert DeNiro but talk like he’s still one of the crowd? One has to wonder if Rollins is completely s:incere.

et’s take it up”. Suddenly all eyes were on the stage, and the Shaman Tim Burgess was at the front, holding his hands in the air. He is the universal, a pure sex symbol wanted by both men and women. Witness the couple who were both wearing “I love Tim” t-shirts. Tim Burgess makes the Charlatans, gives the laid back spiritual vibe that’s been pervasive on their releases ever since keyboardist Rob Collins went to prison during the making of their third album Up to Our Hips. The band obviously loves playing Toronto, because Toronto obviously has the largest percentage of Anglophiles outside of the foggy little island. So when the band kicked into their first song “I Never Want an Easy Life if Me and He Were Ever to Get There,” it was a spiritual moment, purely in the vibe, the mantra floating out over the crowd, putting them into a veritable St .Vitius’s dance. Tim Burgess has a laid back loping Manchester drawl, that makes him sound as though he just smoked a really big joint. He also had a habit of repeating phrases, so that Tim’ s typical dialogue sounded like this: “How’s everybody tonight?

Heh-heh... we’re pleased to be here, pleased to be here.” He would then nod his head a little bit, and the band would kick into another song. Obviously for the most part, this concert focussed on songs from their latest eponymous release, but there were some old faves thrown in, such as “Tlhe Only One I Know ,” and “Then” A big surprise came with “Weirdo,” originally a high energy dance song, here done in a much more laid back fashion, almost as though the listener were listening to the original version in a state of altered consciousness. There were numerous high lights to this show, such as the beautiful spiritual rendition of”Just When You’re Thinking Things Over”, .with Rob Collins playing the piano part on a Fender Rhodes, which gave it a very Southern gospel sound. Elefore certain songs, Tim would sa.y “Let’s take it up.” or “Let’s take it down.” Definitely when “Just When...” came on, it was a high. A. definite plateau. One didn’t explect it to go any higher...the air would be too thin, it would be utter madness. Yet, that.‘s just what they did. Tim and co. came back on for the encore and ended this show the way that they’ve ended every show for the past five years, with a laid back version of “Sproston Green” running in at fifteen minutes, taking the crowds to heights of ecstasy they’ ve seldom experienced before. The Charlatans are definitely the genuine article.

A Wild, Untamed Fashion Extravaganza K-W Fashion Collective Presents Call of the WjUd Club Abstract Tuesday October 3rd by Wendy Stewart special to Imprint

litz, glam and grunge hit centre stage Tuesday night at Kitchener’s “alternative” Club Abstract. The fashion conscious and simply curious came out to watch the groove move as innovative designers paraded this year’s fashions. If you’re familiar with Club Abstract, you can appreciate the perfect setting for this melee of designers, models, artists and dancers. Besides the usual King Neptune presiding above the dance floor, artists such as Bill Downey, Dana Hergott, Jackie Latendresse and Al Reimer’s paintings invoked

a mood of creativity and fun. Black, the usual colour of choice, was predominant throughout the audience. One adventurous couple came dressed for the occasion in 1930s style. Now that’s retro! Contrary to fashion shows seen on television, most of the audience was casually garbed in everyday wear. The name of this show? “Call of the Wild an untamed party of fashion & art.” A title very appropriate considering the range of talented ideas and looks produced by all present, Many designers focused on everyday clothing that is “as wearable as possible,” according to Lydia Bellenie of deLiRiUM. Annissa & Lydia Bellenie and Sue Forester work together to create deLiRuUM’s unique look: a combination of “goth” fashions and industrial looks for men and

women. Club wear was very prevalent in many designers: fun styles such as Stacia Bon’s tight black vinyl, Lisa Demarte’s rope harness over suits and Shelli Oh’s satin suits and feather boa’s are reminiscent of the Toronto dance scene. The show kicked off with Lydia Carol Odhiambo’s collection. Her women’s fashions have a 1950’s flair with waist lines sitting just below the bust. Short cropped sweaters and mini skirts contrasted long slim skirts. Colourful seams tied her comfortable collection of solid colours together and she shocked with a sheik leopard print look. Her men’s fashions used unusual angles: boxy one and two button jackets complimented narrow ties while straight, tight fitting pants completed this retro look. Fashion can only be completed with hair and accessories. Three stylists from Metropolis Salon cut three models’ hair to demonstrate their “Natural Born Collection.” Their focus is on clean lines, and versatile looks enhancing idividuality. Hair length is unimportant and. should suit the individual’s look. Bad hair day? Need a colourful compliment on a rainy day?

Duffel type bags looking like a pig, a frog and a caterpiller were fun and even a little adventurous.

little more than a year after releasing their debut CD, Botfom Feeder, the Groove Daddys are back with their latest effort, Sunburn. The release of the new disc was celebrated on Saturday night at the Volcano in front of an energetic and well receiving crowd. This show was an exceltent vehicle to showcase the Groove Daddys heavier, even-funkier sound. The Groove Daddys have been on the verge of a breakthrough since reaching the finals of the 1994 CFNY New Music Search. Their unique style as well as their healthy attitude towards their music has won them a sizable following. Many of these followers were on hand tonight, and the band did not disappoint. The enthusiastic crowd welcomed opening band 6 Months in a truly diplomatic style, hoping that they would be a decent band and that they would help pass the time before the feature attraction. 6 Months did more than kill the time.

Fronted by Paul Macleod and his matchless vocal talents, 6 Months breezed through a set of entirely original and, unfortunately, mostly untitled material. Kept steady by the impeccable drumming of Gord Stevenson, 6 Months did not retreat and did not only capture their unwilling audience, but were able to force them to surrender to aural pleasure. Kudos to you, guys. Which brings us to the main event... It really isn’t surprising that this show went so well for the Groove Daddys tonight. My last encounter with them was at this year’s North by Northeast (NxNE) festival in Toronto. Their set was the best effort at the El Mocambo that evening, and one of the best of the festival. This evening we were to be treated to the new, harder playing Groove Daddys. It was apparent that their style had altered even between the NxNEgig and tonight’s show Old tunes such as “Brand New Song” and “Defyne” retained their fresh, original sound while new songs “Where I Stand,” “Clothesline,” and “Rubbemecker” demonstrated the new style that bassist Paddy Flynn described as “music you can beat people to.”

To watch Flynn play is deceiving. His fingers don’t seem to move at all, but sound does not lie. His smooth, “Groove’‘-oriented technique compliments both the in your fuceguitar playing of Rob Szabo as well as the solid, inventive percussion of Jeff Cowell. Those who picked up the CD will be happy to find that the cover of Rush’s “Slubdivisions” was not just aconcert addition. Impressive new songs such as “Obscene,” “‘Y?” and “Scab” completed an excellent effort from the Groove Daddy s. The crowd, however, would not let it end, wailing and screaming until the band returned to play two encores, concluding with NlN’q “Head Like a Hole.” The Groove Daddys are truly inspiring to listen to and watch. Tonight’s gig was a highly entertaining and energetic effort by one of the area’s best bands, and, in the words of 6 Months’ Stevenson, “I was happy to be here. Incredible.” The CD release p”ny for Sunburn went off without a hitch and reaffirmed my belief in the musical quality in this area. If anyone has neglected the Groove Daddys’ music in the past, take heed of this glowing review and walk, run, drive , do anything,, just get to where they play *

sandbox w/Kill Creek The Volcano Friday, September 29 by Amberlee Annette Van Imprint staff

and

on’ t be curious - you know what happened to the cat. A year ago, even 3 months ago, we would have been writing this article to persuade you to go see sandbox. - now we urge you to save your time and money. Local My Neighbour Ned began the all ages show last Friday at the Volcano. Reminiscent of an early Michael Stipe sound, this guitarist and vocalist (and soloist temporarily) gave an enjoyable acoustic performance - nothing like what was in store for the audience. Kill Creek’s loud Kansas “altemative” music and energetic lead singer Scott Born got the crowd of young teenagers moshing and hyped for sandbox.. After being introduced, the band began their set with “Flux” even though there was no sign of their Iead singer Paul Murray. After 3-4 minutes of filler, Paul made his way through the underage crowd with a pitcher of water in hand. He first apologized for being late attempting to make it seem that the entire “dramatic entrance” wasn’t planned. We may have been stupid enough to be at this show, but give us SOME credit. Paul then apologized to the minority of us for having to attend an all ages show which could have been a big mistake, but fortunately 90% of their young female audience didn’t catch this borderline insult. Since beginning their first national tour on June 7th, sandbox. have travelled from east to west across Canada and back again promoting their cdbionic. After taking a couple weeks off to rest, they toured the Atlantic provinces and

are now back in Ontario. They promise we will see them again soon when they return - opening for the Watchmen later in October. Although they are performing new material, their focus right now is to continue touring until the end of the Year - a tiring experience. It shows already! Each member brings a unique quality to the band. Guitarist Jason Archibald portrays the image of a ‘70’s prototype-just like RalphMalph from Happy Days. Troy Shank’s enthusiasm and talent on the drums helps keep the band’s music tight. Mike Smith, although occasionally acknowledging the audience with a grin, seems to be in a world all his own while working his guitar. Bassist Scott MacFarlane gives the band its “youthful” appearance even though he is in his twenties like the rest of the guys. Paul Murray is ultimately the heart of sandbox. His unique vocals distinguish sandbox.‘s “could be generic” musicians from sounding like any other band - Canadian or not. His laid back appearance and P-hat have become his trademarks. He has delinitely made a name for himself and knows it (the fact that he is Anne Murray’s nephew shoul dn’ t be held against him). Their lyrics aren’t worth trying to distinguish, as they sing about love, drugs, and cheating on your girlfriend’ but it would have been nice to hear Paul over the noise they were making Friday night. The ‘acoustic guitar and cello-driven “Three balloons and a trapdoor” would be interesting to hear, but unfortunately they don’t experiment enough at their live shows. We first heard sandbox. in the summer of 1994 when visiting Halifax. These four guys were playing cover songs in a small bar, but occasionally they would perform an original such as “Curious.” Yes, this song that launched their careers on MuchMusic was originally off their unique indie tape entitled Maskman (which, by the way, is well worth listening to). Since that summer, these four down-to-earth talented guys have acquired a lot: record deal with EMI Music Canada, two videos that are in medium rotation on MuchMusic, cross-Canada tour, and attitude. In the words of a CFNY (that’s “the Edge” for younger readers) deejay, “sandbox. - some people like ‘em, and some people have met them.”

NoMeansNo w/Alice Donut The V&am Wednesday, September by Lance Manion Dave Thomson special to Impnlnt

and

erhaps because they don’t get up Canada’s way very often, NYC’s premier thrash satirists, Alice Donut, leaned toward the “career overview” philosophy of set lists on this night, as opposed to the more customary “show off the new album” mandate. Thus, we were as likely to get a double-shot from an early album like Mule as we were to hear more recent fare. All of which couldn’t have more suited an early-fan-who-lost-interest-a-few-years-back like yours truly, So they started off - after a pounding Savage Republic-esque intro, with three drummers drumming - with “Bucket, Forks, Pock,” a mosh-friendly slice of redneck Americana from the ‘89 LP Bucketfuls of Sickness and Hmr-or In an Otherwise Meaningless Life. From there, the deafening mini-set touched on almost every album from the Donut catalogue, right up to the newest, Pure Acid Park (which, for my money, represents something of a return to form). Tomas Antonas, the group’s freakezoid lead singer, seems to have calmed down somewhat since Donut’s 1990 TO gig (at which he sported a black vinyl overcoat adorned with hand-painted monsters -and nothing else), but even in more conventional jeans-andsweatshirt attire, he’s still an imposing stage presence. And besides his squalling vocals, his smart, satirical lyrics give Alice Donut their extra-musical edge: “My Severed Head,” for instance, starts with what

seems like a mere grossout (“What if my/ head was severed/ by the gears/of acarbine?‘) but ultimately makes a serious point about death when Antonas rails against “the average death/ in a hospital room” and concludes that “I hope I die in a freakish way, by an act of sheer stupidity .” As for the band, they provided a suitably thunderous backup to Antonas’ philisophical musings, but also showed off an elastic versatility, best illustrated when drummer Stephen Moses stepped out to

take the spotlight for a goofy, trombone-driven version of “Ring of Fire.” And bassist Sissy Schulmeister had a moment in the sun of her own for a lightweight, bubblegummed take on Roky Ericson’s “I Walked with a Zombie.” Moments like these had the eyebrow-ringed moshers scratching their heads, but they also showed that Alice Donut is above all else an entertaining group, and not one to be pinned down too easily.

NoMeansNo lived up to my expectations and their reputation. It was an all-ages event - the term usually brings to mind visions of a concert with a flock of fourteen and fifteen year olds glued to the front of the stage. While this did occur, there were plenty of people looking closer to the ages of the band members, who are apparently in their mid-thirties. The two sets of drums provided the backbone of their patented style, a sound closer to Ultra Bide’s than AliceDonut’s, although a comparison to either is tenuous at best. If that doesn’t mean anything, NoMeansNo are on the Alternative Tentacles labt;, and distributed by Cargo in Canada, And if that means nothing to you, well, I doubt you would bother turning on the radio to hear them. So, for those of you familiar with the band, they played approximately a dozen songs from recent and older releases, including “The River” from Why do they call me Mr. Happy?, and the “Rags and Bones” from the classic Wrong cd, exciting the crowd to consistent yet controllable mashing and stagediving. On that note, it was pleasantly surprising to see three bands with that much energy play to a crowd that was able to keep themselves from being tossed out for doing something unbelievably stupid. NoMeansNo wrapped up the show with a track from Wrnng, titled “Big Dick,” dedicating it to Mike Harris (They dedicated a number of songs to the spokesperson for the common sense revolution that evening . . .). Members of Alice Donut and NoMeansNo hopped around the stage and paraded through the crowd, shaking maraccas during this finale, thanked the crowd for coming, and left,

rible. Struthers created a great victim through Sophia along with a wide v&ety of support characters that range from the sick and morbid to the bizarre which makes for an interesting story. Then of course there is the heroine, Rosalie. Rosalie tells the story and does a good job of it. At times she seems a little naive, but she does appear to be believable. She’s a lot more believable than Nancy Drew. But she was blind when it came to the most obvious clue as to who did it (it practically came up and slapped her in the face and she just brushed it aside) and with that I was a little disappointed. The best part of the story by far

was when the murderer explained why and how they committed the murder. It was graphic, yet poetic at the same time. The murderer very convincingly told of the victim’s emotions at the time of the deaths; it was like I was there watt hing. The ending was original. It was ironic, which I’ve never seen done in a rnurder mystery before but I thought that it was fitting and well done. Overall, I found this to be a very enjoyable book - I read it in one sitting and wouldn’t mind reading the other two books about Rosalie. This book renewed my faith that Canada can turn out some decent and entertaining literature.

This Book Bites! Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice Alfred A. Knopf Canada $32.95, 354 pages by Greg Imprint

Picken staff

emnoch the Devil is the fifteenth novel written by A4 Anne Rice, and the fifth in her highly successful Vampire Chronicles. The first in the series, Intewiew with the Vampire was released into theatres last November, and its surge in popularity led up to the release of this book. When the rumours started flying that a fifth Vampire Chronicle was in the works, I was a little apprehensive. On one hand, I was eager to see what Anne’s newest foray into the vampire world would be. At the same time, I couldn’t see any new ground that could be covered in this genre. Certainly not from the vantage of the Vampire Lestat, the narrator of the Chronicles, except for Irzteruiew with the Vampire, which was narrated by Louis, one ofLestat’s troubled creations. As I was to find, my second instinct was correct. Memnoch the Devil does not deserve to be categorized as a Vampire Chronicle. This novel could just as easily have been written using any other character, even one that is not a vampire. That it uses Lestat is really unimportant, for all he brings to the novel is his arrogant narration and depthless character. As a devoted fan of Anne Rice, I know her love for Lestat

extends from her feelings that he is her masculinity embodied, but enough is enough. The fact that Lestat is a vampire is only used as the reason Memnoch comes to him. However, beyond that, the existence of the vampire is a null issue. Anne almost goes over the top in this effort, taking on the issues of God and Devil. Her God is vindictive and doesn’t care about the humans he has created, whereas Memnoch, the fallen angel is entrusted with leading the souls from Purgatory to Heaven. An interesting idea, extending from Anne’s struggles with religion, but not an idea that fits into the Chronicles. Perhaps the worst element of this book is the drug-dealer and art lover Roger., and his evangelical daughter Dora. The story opens with Lestat stalking Roger, and inevitably taking his life. Lestat then endures Roger’s life story, in long, wordy, over-embellished detail. Looking back at the end of the novel, the entire reason for this life story having been included eludes me. It appears to be simply a chance for Anne to create another character caught up in his own internal struggle with good and evil. With two subpar novels, Memnoch the Devil andTaltos having been released in the past twelve months, I can only hope that Anne Rice’s next novel Servunt of d-w Buries is up to her usual standards. Lestat’s final words in Memnnch the Devil an: “Let me pass now from fiction :into Iegend.” Gladly Lestat. It’s about time.

A Quirky Twist of Fate father, he turns to his uncles for answers and understanding, while his mother struggles against death. Nathan Watt is E-year-old Steven Lidz, who lives with his parents and younger sister. When his mother Selma gets cancer, the whole family is shocked. Only Steven reacts emotionally by rebel-

ling against his father, and decides to move in with his eccentric uncles. In search of his roots, he is strongly encouraged to turn to Judaism, which angers his father even more. Steven acts as the catalyst of the picture, as he pushes his father to confront his many fears, while drawing the family fragments

together again. Andie MacDowell plays Seima, mother of a boy and girl and married to a science crazed inventor. Their smaI1 utopia is shattered when she suddenly becomes ill. A loving parent, she is hardly the romanticized view of motherhood, as she openly swears and smokes in front of her children. While she is supposed to be dying, MacDowell’s character lacks the deathly pallor and frailty associated with a terminal disease. Half way through the film, the emphasis shifts towards her son and the relationship with his uncles. Frantic over the thought of losing her family, his hasty departure heightens her anxieties. John Turturro is her wacky husband Sid Lidz. He cares deeply for his wife, but finds it difficult to make room for their children when they need him most. Unable and unwilling to comprehend Steven’s desire for love and attention, he instead punishes the boy. Comfortable in his own way, cancer makes Sid put away his dreaming and en-

ter the real world. He forgets that memories and dreams should never be abandoned, despite what happens. Frustrated and scared, he views his brothers and the Jewish faith with derision, but they nevertheless persevere to help him. Maury Chaykin and Michael Richards are the unconventional Uncles Arthur and Danny. Arthur quietly goes about his business, and cares for others, while Danny spouts his anarchist ideology to Steven or anyone who’ll listen. Direct opposites, this strange couple are well matched, als they create some rather unique humor. For most of the film, Richards looks like he’s stuck in one of his Clarets commercials. Sweetly photographed with lots of pastel hues, the scenes possess a rosy nostalgia. Attention to detail can be seen in the props and settings, but more thought should have been spent on hairstyles to make the picture completely authentic. In spite of a focused script and some interesting ideas, a subtle lack of cohesion between story lines exists. An altogether enjoyable picture and a good effort on Keaton’s part, Unstrung Heroes is a rich and unusual film,

here are few movies that 1[ would see once and never see again, not because they are not excellent, but because they are disturbing beyond comprehension. I feel comfortabIe adding Seven to my list. David Mills (Brad Pitt) a former small town homicide detective trying to make it in the big city, meets William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) a disillusioned NYC Homicide detective on the fringe of retirement, at a bizarre crime scene. At first glance it appears that the incredibly obese victim has suffered a coronary in the midst of his spaghetti dinner. However, as Mills and Somerset set to work on other, emerging cases, it becomes evident that something more is at work, Something evil, something that cannot, unlike many NYC crimes, be ignored. The crux of the film is the seven deadly sins, each inscribed on the wall at the respective crime scenes, The crimes don’t make sense - but at the same time they do. It becomes obvious that Mills and Somerset are dealing with a megalomaniac, an educated man, someone patient and methodical and very, very frightening. The layers of the film are manifold. Literary allusions abound: you would have to be familiar with Shakespeare, Dank, The Catholic Dictionary, and Chaucer in order to understand some of them. Fortunately, Freeman’s character is thorough and intellectual, and he provides Mills and the audience with the clues. The film touches upon the concept of the mission, in terms of the perpetrator as well as the detectives. The issues of holiness and chosenness come into play as well. Our concepts of the private world

and the public world, and the places where they meet and suffuse into one another are challenged. It is a complex and multifaceted film. Made in the usual Hollywood style, Sev01 also integrates elements of the artistic film in the opening sequence andcredits. These bits allow us, for a moment, into the mind of the perpetrator, and during the actual meat of the film we are returned to a world of relative normalcy. The contrast is striking. The film is, for the most part, slowpaced and excruciating. Your hands will clench. You will be sucked into the musical score as it creates and adds to the suspense. The camera work and cuts of film make the single chase scene confusing, and we feel disoriented. The setting of the film provides a bland but fitting backdrop to the intense situation the restaurants, the buildings and the rain seem almost pedestrian, but simultaneously are bleak and disheartening. The crime scenes, by contrast, are horrific and altogether grisly. Brad Pitt, greeted by the audience with cheers and sighs, is no celluloid character as Mills. He is rumpled and sincere, and perhaps even naive. His intensity is believable, and Pitt ably demonstrates that he is not bound by his Legends of the Fail character. Morgan Freeman is his usual credible self, and he plays Somerset with calm and composure. Kevin Spacey is amazing and insidious as the perpetrator of the nasty deeds. The clincher in Seven is the ending. Of course I won’t reveal its details here, but watching the film you will be aware of what may come, but hope rhat, in typical HoIlywood fashion, the film will not allow to happen. My entire body concentrated on avoiding the outcome I feared the most - but it came crashing down on me, and I was sweaty and in shock. It is hard to do justice to such a film, so I am sincere when I say that it must be seen to be believed.

Like any other musical form, Techno has many divisions and ;ub-divisions in sound. Unfortunately, the re;llity is that ;he only form most people are exposed to is a bass-pumping, En:rgy 108 breed of music. The sort that one can either dance mindlessly to, or reject as being wholly vacuous and not worth the plastic it’s enscribed on. And why not? That’s exactly urhat you hear on both 108 and 303.5 every day, techno that is long on beats and tempo, and VERY short on ideas and progression. Besides the increasing insurgence of ragga into mainstream dance, very little has changed since Snap broke it big in ‘91 with “The Power.” The upsurge of both classic and modern rock into the mainstream consciousness is in part a reaction to just this sort of trend. There is hope though. IEgo-

Apparently they’ve been selling lots over in the UK, and their single “Life is Sweet” is moving and shaking many a dance floor from London to Manchester. All of which is not surprising, since the technorave music that’s shifting lots of units over there is most definitely miles away from anything over here. Where else but the UK could the Orb have a number one album? The band shows a remarkable ability to adopt other acts’ sounds and make them their own, without sounding like mere copycat artists.

Marching to the beat of their own twisted drum, the band released a pair of uncanny masterworks, Yerselfls Steam and Bnces, in the early ‘90’s, turning rock inside-out, but going virtually unnoticed by the public at large. All of this somehow conceived under the auspices of a major label.

Both are tremendously talented guitarists, but as with Boces the new album continues to feature less prominent guitar. Such is the finesse of their tight song writing and ensemble arranging, that the primary guitar sound is sacrificed for the greater good of the album’s brilliantly exploding melody, which is abundant throughout the record. Even better, the directions the melodies arrive and depart are excursions that one rarely hears anywhere these days. One hopes that this album gets the push from Sony that the band so richly deserves. It frightens one to think of the talent that’s so far been ignored despite the merits and critical accolades of the previous two releases. If the label had any brains or foresight, they’d be labelling Mercury Rev as Pavement and the Boo Radleys all rolled into one. The truth is, however, that at this stage they’re transcending both. Another genuine masterpiece.

There wasn’t an announcement, no fanfare, no promotion dealing with Blue Rodeo’s new album. It just kind of appeared without the hoopla that major labels usually create for a band with as much popularity and acclaim as Blue Rodeo has garnered since their debut. Could it have been lost in the shuffle with the release of Sonic Youth, or the anticipation of the new Green Day album? I doubt it. Blue Rodeo simply don’t need the hype. The people that buy Nowhere To Here are the same people that bought the other five albums and saw them perform every album live. Blue Rodeo have established a pretty wide fan base including everyone from country to rock n’ roll and have found a new legion of fans in New Country (or country-rock.) Their appeal to such diverse audiences keeps every album sounding fresh, without the added frustration of being pigeonholed into playing one certain style of music. Nowhere To Here is Blue Rodeo’s most experimental album to date. It is also very introverted and slow moving, seeming like time just lingers over a song for ages. Obviously Greg Keelor’s influence weighs heavily in the experimental coming more into play now than on previous albums like5 Days in July, or even Diamond Mine. Jim Cuddy’s patented ballads add another element to Nowhere To Here which really is where Cuddy puts his signature to the album. Together, Keelor and Cuddy crank out harmonies that have made Blue Rodeo a premier Canadian band. “Save Myself” is a five minute interlude to the rest of the album setting the tone, the pace, and the spacey atmosphere that brings you nowhere. It revolves within itself more as a musical introduction than an actual song, although, Keelor does sing this ballad with the help of Sarah McLachlan crooning the E”lIIlP LIIMAIU. “Girl In Green” continues the . ~~ , I ~~ , t __I . _,_ eme Keetor armospnere OUI PICKS up the pace. McLachlan adds a

harshness to the chorus as she sings almost to a yell. The rest of the band builds up the song :md come crashing together, which Blue Rodeo have always been pretty good at doing. “What You Want” finally introduces Cuddy to the spotlight and the presence of a country twang is felt for the first time. “Side of the Road” whips up the infamous CuddyKeelor harmony that has always brought out the intimacy of Blue Rodeo, Cuddy funnels his emotions into “Sky” which makes “Try” a familiar song agairl even sfomeeight But Keelor puts his years later. experimental sounds to work again on “Brown-Eyed Dog” to pick up the slack. He takes a Velvet Underground approach with his spoken bits, but sings it like a ballad. This song takes different avenues throughout which keep it moving, although the pace is slow. One thing about Blue Rodeo that has changed is the lapse in the use of the keyboards. I realize that James Gray is no Bob Wiseman, but to lose that element has changed the overall sound significantly. “Blew It Again” starts off with some keyboard, but gets drowned out soon enough with more harmony, and patented country riffs Interesting is the and picking. minute and a half piano solo before “Flaming Bed” and the overbearing presence of its sound throughout the song. Otherwise the impact of the keyboards has dwindled significantly from Blue Rodeo’s first days. “Flaming Bed” seems to be the album’s signature piece, with Keelor crooning out what could be a national anthem in three parts and eight minutes long. “Get Through To You,” “Armour,” and “Train” really don’t belong on this album because of the the different approach of the other songs. These are simply throwaway tunes that delve back into Lxt Together, or even C&no in it’s rock-a-billy style. They’re not bad songs, they’re just out of place on this album. If you’re a Blue Rodeo fan you already have this album and aren’t waiting to see what the critics are saying. If you’re being exposed to Blue Rodeo for the first time, Nowhere TO Here creates a comforting sound that keeps getting better with time.

All in the Family is the debut album from the Lordz of Brooklyn, agroup of self-called”White Trash” from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Their style of hip-hop is very similar to the styles heard from groups such as House of Pain and Young Black Teenagers. Heck, these guys are so similar to House of Pain theirvoices even sound somewhat similar. Led by rappers Edge, ADMoney, and Kaves, the Lordz kick out some serious hip-hop with their own little touch of Brooklyn. The first track “Saturday Night Fever” is a solid track that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Just when I thought I had the album figured out, a big change-up comes in the form of track six, “American Made.” This laid-back track features an easy background acoustic guitar while the Lordz show their pride in being American. After getting all sentimental, the Lordz come back with more slammin’ hip-hop to the end of the album including track eleven, “Unda the Boardwalk,” another solid track that states what the Lordz do to anybody who does mess with them. This is a solid debut effort for the Lordz of Brooklyn. If you are a fan of hip-hop you will find this album a good addition to your collection.

by Chris Edginton special to Imprint Let’s put out a super debut album with a great single, send it to one of the region’s leading radio stations as an entry in their yearly “new music search,” and lose. I’m still a little bitter about the whole affairwas it for lack of talent? More like a lack conforming to their format. . . But that’s never mentioned as Change of Heart graciously accepts a cheque for $100,000. With Sunburn comes a much harder sound for these locals of Kitchener- Waterloo. But what each Groove Daddys’ fan has come to expect in their sound is still there. That impeccable sense of rhythm and tight sound. Every note falls perfectly into place without a whole lot of distorted crap to cover an obvious lack of skill. Like their first groovy single “Meside Myself,” Sunburn contains plenty of

tight tracks, notably “Scab,” that deviate from the monotonous 414 time signature that everyone has become so used to hearing. Seeing these guys at Waterloo’s Sounds of Summer festival was an impressive event. It was the first time I had heard “Scab” and they didn’t miss a note. Proof that Rob Szabo, Paddy Flynn and Jeff Cowell are some of the region’s premier musicians. Maybe CFNY rejected them because it takes some concentration to listen these tunes, an element of effort. No, that’s not for our listener. Let’s just stick to the basics. A couple of other items of note are the lack of Paddy on vocals, and a cover of some classic Rush. Although Paddy appears for a few bars on “Blah,Blah,Blah,” he’s non-existent vocally on the rest. That guy’s voice soothes my soul, and it’s somewhat of a disappointment to not hear more of him. He more than makes up for it though, the hits from the decade that brought us Molly Ringwald (witness “She bop,” “All Through the Night,”

“True Colours,” and the (in)famous “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”). Fortunately, Cyndi seems to

have come out with enough hits throughout her career to perfectly round out a greatest hits package without needing to pad it with too many throw-away tracks. The new “Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun)” is an exception, as I’m sure the three minutes it takes up could have been filled with something better than recycled lyrics. (The lesson here: this release should not serve as a preamble to Cyndi’s ‘90’s comeback.) In the end, however, Twelve Deadly Cyns makes for a brief, lighthearted romp through a decade often better left forgotten. All told, this is one of those CD’s you don’t want to admit to owning, but one of your friends has to for those times when you, uh, just want to have fun.

are highly reminiscent of The Stylistics. Finally, the album is dedicated to a couple of reverends, and thanks God in the liner notes. Is this giving you any ideas about what the music sounds like? Or how about lyrics such as, “I don’t want nobody else/I love you more than you love yourself?” Here’s some wisdom courtesy of Charles & Eddie: “One man’s colour is another man’s pain/But deep inside we’re all the same.” Thanks, I hadn’t thought of it that way! Picture this scenario: “For the first time in his life/He finally sees no light/And thinks of his children sleeping as he drives.” Moving eh? The ‘deep’ lyrics are kind of hard to swallow, especially when you’re trying to wash them down

with the music of electric organs, disco beats, and tambourines. Most of the time this results in a dull, MOR-like melange of what passes as R&B. It isn’t all bad. One track which caught my attention, “Sunshine and Happiness,” has a pretty cool groove, and some of the songs are sort of fun. This duo may be very good at what they do musically; I just don’t particularly enjoy what they choose to do. If you’re into R & B and you’re not easily annoyed by cloying sentimentality, this may be the album for you. Otherwise, when you’re in the mood for something in the funky 70s vein, just throw on some old Jackson 5 records. They are far superior.

Rebecca actually sings: “I reflect on the things that make me sad/and realize they also make me glad.” Despite this, thealbumispleasLike Tori ant and interesting. Amos, Rebecca both sings and plays piano. In an age when people don’ t even sing without pre-recorded voices, this is worthy of our respect. Rebecca’s voice is surprising - deep and scratchy and warm, Her piano playing, while not on par with Oscar Petersen’s, is not bad at

all. And some of the album’s tracks are particularly appealing if one ignores the weak lyrics. “Harder to Replace” and “Dusty Skeletons” have wonderful instrumental accompaniments. Rebecca’s voice remains likable throughout the album except for on “Sleep,” which is punctuated with screeches. This is a good album. With a little more verbal ingenuity, and a little less Barbie, it would be amazing.

Itsbeen nearly four years since Tom Cochrane’s last album Mud Mud W&d was released. His excellent work on this album not only won him the 1993 Grammy Award for best vocalist, but the album is about to sell its one millionth copy in Canada and has already sold over two million copies worldwide. Rugged Ass Road RICochrane teams up with former

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff Watching Mark E. Smith spit out lyrics to Fall songs on stage is at first an unnerving experience. He suggests nothing so much as someone completely bored out of his skull and who’d rather be having his testicles removed than performing live. He pays more attention to speakers, monitors and mike stands than he does to the audience, and a “thanks” to the crowd is unlikely and unexpected. All of this is, of course, part of the show. The Fall tour ceaselessly and the music sounds brilliant. Whatever one can say about the lack of enthusiasm Smith shows, the musical performance itself remains unaffected. The facade of apathy is clearly all just part of Smith’s I’m-so-cool-Idon’ t-have-to-give-a-shit aesthetic. One example of how important the live shows are to the band is the number of live albums that they release. Including The Twenty Seven Points, the count now comes to six CDs. What percentage of albums that is, is hard to discern. A discographical nightmare like no other, let’s just assume that this latest release is, as the title suggests, their twenty-seventh album - an utterly absurd number of releases (not including singles, EPs and compilations) for a band that whose first release was in 1978. Discerning where the shows

Red Rider keyboard player John Webster to co-produce the album. Webster also plays the keyboards for Cochrane on some of the songs off his last album as we11 as several on this release. Although the sound here is not exceptionally different from that of his last effort there are many great songs on Ragged Ass Roud which makes it a worthwhile investment. The inspiration for the songs on this recording come form Cochrane’s personal experiences. This fact gives added meaning to songs like “Just Scream,” the third track on this album. Here, Cochrane’s voice is full of rage as he sings about being scorned by an were recorded is equally difficult. The album cover says that the performances are from Prague, TelAviv, London, Glasgow, New York City and some place called M./er, however the back of the album only lists a Prague ‘91 show and a performance from Leeds. Oh, and the cover of the album shows a tape with Belgrade written on it. In addition to this confusion, although the album’s called The Twenty Seven Points, there are twenty-eight songs listed, but in reality, there are

thirty

tracks. Whatever. Over an hour-and-a-half of vitriol and bitter wordsmithery ,The Twenty Seven Points is a usual Fall live album in that it presents a snapshot of the band at a specific point in time rather than the hackneyed career retrospective offered by most bands. The song selection goes back no further than 1990’s Shi@ork except for the Fall standard (if such a thing exists) “Big New Prinz.” Perhaps surprisingly, the album offers only three tracks from last year’s Middle Class Revolt, but six tracks from The Znfituinment Scan (the best-repre-

ARTS unfaithful lover. This is probably one of the most angry songs Cochrane has ever written. The first track, “I Wish You Well,” which is also the first single off this album, is a moving and inspirational song about persevering through the rough moments in life and turning them into a positive experience. “Flowers in the Concrete,” is a song about a women who is searching for her place in life. Although many of the songs on this album are filled with poetry and metaphor this one has more than most. “Flowers in the Concrete” is one of the three songs on this album written by Annette Ducharme. Fur those of you who are big fans, you might recognize Annette Ducharme as the backup vocalist and writer of “Sinking Like a Sunset,” one of the big hits from Cochrane’sMtid Mad WurZd album. The other two tracks she wrote for Ragged Ass Road are “Best Waste of Time” and “Will of the Gun.” The title track on this recording is about an actual road in Yellowknife. Knowing this makes the lyric “land of the midnight sun” understandable. “Ragged Ass Road” is an uplifting song about being gloriously free and the unlimited potential of life. Each song on this album is powerful, full of emotion, and packed with wonderful lyrics like “talking through each others eyes” and “we can talk until we say something.” So if you’re aTom Cochrane fan or you’re looking for a terrific album like his last, you will definitely enjoy Ragged Ass Road. sented album here.) Altogether, the (Doffers eight new and semi-new tracks not easily available on albums which vary in quality. “Cloud of Black” lumbers along rather slowly, but “Passable” and “Ten Points” (the latter a spoken word piece) are versions of The Infotainment Scan’s “A Past Gone Mad” and “Glam Racket” respectively. The opportunity to track Fall ;ongs in various incarnations is a solden opportunity for Fall fans, ,ut even Fall neophytes will appreciate the gem “Strychnine” (no liner notes are evident, so I’ll assume it’s a Fall song and not a cover) which starts out with the marvellous line “Some folks like water/ some folks like wine/ but I like the taste/of straight strychnine .” Tracks like “The Joke,” the lead-off track from this year’s Cerebrd Causticstarts off echoheavy and sounding like shit in standard-bootleg quality, almost immediately disappointing the listener but miraculously, through the magic of modem editing, it comes to life with a relatively sharp, clear sound, Ha, ha sort of a joke I suppose. The liner notes offer a chaotic array of photographs with Mark Smith in various pretentious poses alongside glowing reviews of Cerebrul Caustic (but alas, no lyrics.) As ridiculous as this may sound, this is now the third Fall album I’ve reviewed in the last twelve months. Of course, such intense productivity means nothing without a commitment to quality, but this album, and the albums that are represented here, demonstrate the Fall have a sincere dedication to both aspects of their work.

by Pat Mtrlihan rmprixlt staff In between Sub Pop records Jale was able to squeeze out an EP on long-time pals murderecords label. As significant as this release is the ftnal closing of a chapter in murderecords history. With Sloan, Eric’s Trip, and Hardship Post documenting their histories on murder, and using them as springboards to get a record deal it is finally Jale’s turn to pay homage to a scene that they are still very much a part of. Perhaps the inspiration behind the name of this new EP suggests that this chapter in Murderecords is closed. The EP doesn’t come off with all the fireworks of releasing material for public consumption though. Unfortunately Sub Pop isn’t so happy about its conception and has disallowed distribution in the United States which is too bad for Jale fans elsewhere considering the strength of these five songs. “Nine Years Now” starts the short set on a strong note. It’s pretty bare bones with simple guitar bits and simple harmonies which essentially is what Jale is about. “Wash My Hands” is another song that gathers its strength through its simplicity. This song creates a bigger sound through some washing guitar bits in the chorus and the building harmonies that these women can do so well. “Jesus Love Me” is a great

Time flies, newspapers are published, and reviews are continually put off. Many apologies, but the recent rotation Raggadeath have received on ‘NY’s big weekend on-air club nights gives this article some sense of relevancy. The song in question here is their single “One Life,” which kicks off Why Ask Why and sets the tone for the rest of the record. This includes thudding, dense beats, hard to heavy metal guitars, and main vocal personality Michie Mee’s urgent, rapid fire hip-hop delivery, and overall it’s a winning combination. The easy tendency

song, building on Laura’s bass bits in spots, but relying on some guitar wanking to finish the song off. The song does have an element of Frente! throughout it which is really only noticeable in the vocals. “Long Way Home” may have been created with inspiration from a trip to Ireland. Apparently the cover photo and photos within are taken from that trip. The guitar keeps the mould of the song together, and their hamonies are somewhat more intricate than any previous ones that they’ve created which is really nice to see here. An excellent tune indeed. “Double Edge” is a great finale that is somewhat ironic in title because of their frustration with Sup Pop’s stance on the distribution of Closed EP. Sure they could tell them to take a hike, but the repercussions may cost them their record deal. Even Sloan’s stance against Geffen in their creativity cost them their U.S. promotions which definitely hurt their sales. That’s the double edge. I think I’m way off the mark though. This album is worth your while to pick up because not only is it good, but it closes one chapter in murderecords history as the flagship of an important period of an exposed Halifax music scene. A new breed of Haligonians making their mark on the East and starting the next chapter in Murderecords history include Thrush Hermit, The Super Friendz, and Hip Club Groove. So watch, listen, and support a music scene that continues to push the envelope making good music, and just happens to be Canadian too. would be to use a Rage Against the Machine comparison, but Public Enemy have been doing this sort of thing at times for years. Another point of reference would be UK band Comershop. Having said that, tracks “Ravi” and “Consultation” branch out into mellower, “world beat” type of material, as the band tries its hand at other sorts of sounds very loosely associated with dance. Most astonishing though, is the 8:16 “Ambient Bollocks” (tongue in cheek here no doubt) that bizarrely turns out to be Raggadeath’s homage to the Orb. True they aren’t big experts at these forms, but their willingness to try, their attempt to play with convention and catagorization of their musical vision, make for an exhilerating adventure. This is an album that might have a wide appeal - here’s hoping people give a chance.

by Tracy Hunt special to Imprint The latest release from Canadian singer/songwriter Annette Ducharme is Bloom which in general sounds fairly solid. The music is especialIy well done and Annette has a voice that could sing anything. The album starts off with “Change your Mind,” a fast paced, upbeat song with breezy, easy to Next comes understand lyrics. “Moral,” my favourite song on the album. “Moral” is a slower paced song which draws the listener in. You can’t help but bounce along to this and don’t be surprised to hear yourself singing la la la la di da along with her. Plus it has one of the best lines on the album “...and the moral is there’s no moral at all.” Next comes “Flowers in the Concrete,” a song about a homeless girl. Another well constructed song, and easy to listen to. An emotional song, *‘Insanity is King” follows. “insanity...” has a very relaxing undertone to it. She picks up the tempo with “Talk to the Waves” and then totally changes direction with “Love is a Bomb.” This song

What balances this techno element is the jackhammrr guitx sounds of the bands three axe- bearers. “Empty” is the strongest song on the CD. Its melody sounds odd at first, but after rhe first verse its intricacy begins to be appreciated. Other solid songs include “No More Love,” from their self-titled EP, “Fool,” and “Tortoise’*, all of which are the best examples of the “unholy wedlock of wailing punk/metal

guitar, and the relentless percussive throb of technolrave.” “Still” and “23” also exemplify the unique blend of guitar and computer that this band is all about, although these are on the borderline of tedium and innovation. The other five tracks on this CD should be lislened to, acknowledged, and then discarded, never to be heard again. These tracks, such as “All Wrong” and “Scared” seem to outlast the Energizer bunny: they keep going, and going..... All points considered, this CD is worthwhile to listen to and, to a certain extent, refreshing. With time God Lives Underwater will emerge as an innovative force in tee hnological rot k music.

by Robert DiMinno special to Imprint Well, the Original Human Beat Box is back. Doug E. Fresh, one of rap’s most respected elders, hits hard with his latest effort, Play. Most people may remember Doug E. from the track “La Di Da Di,” an anthem that Doug and Slick Rick dropped in 1985. Play showcases Doug’s many talents and interests - good time party music and a lot of dancehall flavour. Doug, an activist for the Old school attitude - an attitude that promotes having a good time, rather than the “let me shoot this muthafucka” attitude - displays his dislike for the emergence of recent hip- hoppers on the most solid track on the CD, namely I-Ight. This track contains a nice riff of Eric B, and Rakim’s “Eric B. is president,” as Doug states: “You can call me 01d School/but I’m no CooVCuz back then at least we had a hip-hop ruIe/And the rule was you got to be

by Heather Calder Imprint staff I read a review of this album recently that claimed that you could go away from it and come back to it, feeling calm and badly realizing the time went by. I think I know why. The album is realIy so bland it doesn’t even serve well as background music. MGre Brennan was formerly part of Clannad, the band that included the duet with Bono, “In A

Lifetime,” on every album. As Celtic music goes, they are authentic. However,Brennan deputis from her usual tack on !Mi~.ty J!$v/ /Idventw-es, to sing mainly in English and Irish and mainly about not \rery much. The album starts off-with “The Days of the Dancing.” an attempt, it seems, at the kind of thing Loreena McKennit is knnwn for. Rt~l it fails, miserably, and the ;~Ibum continues in the same veiri. The lyrics are fluffy - “1 wander westward my heart desires/With xas alive/ Shadow me under the mountains of time” etc etc. I imagine this kind of work would appeal to Tome, and even to me if the musical accompa-

niment was solid. Instead, the mixture c>f harp, drums and pipes seems pedestrian, familiar, and listening to the album, I didn’t fee1 like anything particularly remarkable was happening. It is lovely to hear Irish singing; however, to kick the horse oflt: more time, the music just wasn’t strong enough to back it up. Completely unexpectedly, track six is I3rennnn’s take cm Joni Mitchell’s song “Big Yellow Taxi.”

Not anly does this song not belong amongst moonlit musing and sea nymphs, but the song is so weak that you hardly notice that you should recognize it. This album might better have been called BZeury Eyed Adventures.

After putting in a guest performance on Dru Down’s album, Explicit Game, Yukmouth and Knumskull, better known as Luniz, come hard with this release, Openltioli Stackoh. These twoyoungsters kick some serious shit, with a funky Bay Area flavour that makes this album a solid piece of hip-hop artistry. The album features the debut single *‘I Got 5 On It,” a phat track that blends a smooth Oakland beat and serious lyrics that make for a winning combination. Much of the album has this funky style, with the Luniz rapping about everything f~-om life and struggles in Oakland to sexual prowess. This, however, may not necessarily be agood thing. Unfortunately, while the album is solid, a change of pace would have been helpful once in a while to break the monotony of the Bay Area style. For fans of this style, the album is great.

As well, Doug receives some help from the soulful miss jones on the lracks, “Keep It Going” and “Doug E. Got It Coin’ On.” Lastly, Beenie M.an adds some extra dancehall ,clpice on “Hands In The Air,” a tracik that is sampled by Das Efx’s, “Thiey Want Efx,” while Doug slams some beat box sounds in the background. All in all, Play is a solid effort with many recognizable samples that add much flavour to Doug’s phat rhyming.

myself, like a variety, and may become bored with the same style repeated throughout the album. There are some solid tracks on this album. Track 10, “900 Blame A Nigga,” is a serious look about how black people get blamed for many of societies problems, with a funny twist to release some of the seriousness of the situation. Track 11, “YeHow Brick Road,” features a humourous mother joke as an intro and track 13, “She’s Just A Freak,” is a funny look at freaks and orgies, among other things. This album features a range of issues, from life in Oakland. to problems facing blacks and others in today’s society. This thrown in with the phat Bay Area sounds make this a very good album, if you don’t mind the same style persisting throughout. If you are a fan of hip-hop, then you will enjoy this debut effort from the Luniz, who throw out some surprisingly good shit for a couple of twenty-yearolds. It appears that this won’t be the last we hear from them either. These are two brothas who should kick some funky shit for a long time to come.
