The VPAF is “responsible for coordinating and overseeing all financial and business aspects of the Federation of Students. ” This includes drafGng a budget and administering the revenue and spending of Federation businesses and services. Mark Ferrier resigned his position after receiving a job offer from a marketing firm, a prospect more in line with his personal career aspirations. However, his resignation has left the three other Federation of Students executive members with some critical responsibilities in addition to their usual duties. Feds President, Mario Bellabarba has split most of the Administration md Finance duties with Vice President Internal, Julie Primeau. Special events co-ordination and publicity have been handled by Primeau, with budgetary matters and Federation business responsibilities have been shouldered by Bellabarba. Vice President Education, Kelly Foley has filled in bv* supporting Primeau and Bellabarba in their regular duties. The three remaining Feds are, however, delaying the formation of their strategic ac%on plan until the new Vice President, Administration and Finance is present to provide input.

ublic input into the fizture of postsecondm7 education in Ontario begins in Siptember when the government appointed panel begins its three phase consultation process. Education Minister John Snobelen set out the mandate for the Advisory Panel on Future Directions for Post-Secondary Education. In his letter opening the discussion paper, “Future Goals for Ontario Colleges tid Universities,” Snobelen asks panel members to investigate “the most appropriate sharing of costs between students, government and the private sector.” The second requirement of the panel is to develop a plan to ccrationalizey’ university programs. The fast requirement is to recommend ways in which colleges, universities and secondary school can cooperate to strenghten the education system. In an interview with Imprint, Minister Snobelen maintained his previous stand that the Advisory Panel and the planned restructuring of the post-secondary education system in Ontario is not simply a costcutting exercise. He also insisted that students groups and others will have a chance to make their views heard, despite criticism that the consultation process is too short. David C. Smith, principal em&us of Queen’s University will be chairing the

Advisory Panel. He has a long and distinguished academic career and now under&es the difl!icult task of chairing a panel whose advice may change the entire system of post-secondary education in Ontario. Imprint interviewed Mr. Smith to find out how he and the committee are going to proceed with such a daunting task. ’

‘Whatexact& has theAdvismy panel been tip to sofar and &at sortsof imes do yaw expect to be dealing with?

HAIRCUT WITH STUDENT CARD

tatistics on student employment in Canada revealed a grim picture for last month. According to Statistics Canada, the unemployment rate for returning students in July was 18.4 percent, up from 17.1 percent in June and 16.3 percent in May, amounting to 247 000 students out of work. The federal government’s position has remained clear: the mus is upon the private sector to create jobs. A position that Real Dequier, National Deputy Chairman of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS), disagrees with strongly. In a brief interview with Imprint, Dequier called the current government strategy “bogus” and he cited examples, such as the

record breaking profits of large Canadian banks who in turn are laying off workers, as proof that the private sector cannot be counted on to alleviate unemployment. Dequier put forth several ideas that may have helped employ students during the summer. Five to ten years ago there were more summer works programs, and more emphasis on government career start programs. As well, more and higher subsidies were given to non-profit organizations to employ students through the summer, funds that have since eroded away. When it was suggested that subsidies might not be prudent or even possibie in these times of fiscal restraint, Dequier was adamant that they are necessary for students “getting hit on both ends” by high tuition bills (and subse-

quently high loans) and deteriorating job prospects. The key, according to Dequier, is to %ducate people, m&e people aware that post-secondary education is important.” The Liberal government claims that education is key, he said, but their actions don’t demonstrate this. Dequier suggested that increased public awareness may motivate government to address the problem. The Canadian Federation of Students is a national lobby group that claims to be “made up of more than 400 000 members at over 60 colleges and universities,” the University ofWaterloo among ,them. For severaf years however, UW and many other universities across the country that CFS claims to represent have not paid membership fees, and indeed would deny membership if asked.

As of September 1, monthy rates for permit holders will go up six dollars, from $14 to $20. Exceptions to this rule include Lot X to-the north of campus, and Lot D’s choice location under Needles Hall, which will cost $13 and $40 respectively. Changes will also come at the parking kiosks by lots H (facing Hagey Hall), B 1 (Courtyard by DC and Chemistry 2) and M (behind the PAC). Those entering these lots wili pay a $10 deposit that is the equivalent of the maximum daily charge for these spaces. The rate for these lots will be $2 an hour, and visitors will pay out of the deposit they pay upon envThose staying for more than five hours will simply receive a receipt. mer noon, the deposit will decrease basedon how many hours are left before 4 p.m., when they will convert to a straight $2 entry fee.

parking fees. Understandably, this strategy prooved iess than successfd. The operating hours at these booths will also change, opening Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The increases are intended to cover operating costs for these lots, that are not being met with the current price structure, said Jim Kalbfleisch, Vice President Academic and Provost.

“In addition $350 000 per year is to be transferred from parking to the university operating budget to assistin coping with the loss of $19 million in operating grants from the Provincial Government” he said. These latest price increases follow earlier increases at coin entry lots around campus. Most lots had their rates increased to $2, except for the Lot C across University Avenue, whose price doubled from $0.75 to $1.50.

Then we each centre where we bring together a university and a college and you’ll have an hour and a half to discuss at a round table of about twelve people some issues. So Waterloo will be paired with a college. I don’t know where it will be located, probably in Hamilton. We wish we could visit every site of university and college, but we can’t in the short time we’ve got. So we have those sessions with individuals from every university and college in Ontario and then the third aspect of our consultations will be a number of meetings with provincial-level organizations and with individuals and groups bringing various perspectives to the issues. Now we may not be able to accommodate everyone who requests a meeting, but we will have a series of meetings, mostly in Toronto where we can meet with those provincial level organizations, groups and individuals.

Nothingotherthanthethreequestions listed in the inside cover of the discussion paper.

Two aspectsto that question. First of all, we don’t have any prior position so the consultations we’ll be doing are extremely important in formulating our advice to the government. Secondly, what the government does with that advice is not something we control. You try to develop the best advice you can and the government will decide to implement it or not,

Well we have been asked to comment and recommend on the appropriate shares of funding for the post-secondary education system, the appropriate shares in terms of students, private sector and government,

the post-secondary education system in Ontario.

SO we are in that

sense obviously pulled into the fixding issues. But, we are not asked to make recommendations on the budget for the post-secondary sector for the coming year. We are not into that sort of fiscal exercise, we’re looking at longer term issues for the excellence of

Ithinkonehastobemindfulof any cost if you are making recommendations, I think that is quite clear to me, but we are not going to make a specific recommendation on an institution. But the issue of whether there should be more private funding or public fumlingisindeedwithinourmandate and it is quite clear that the quality of the system, the accessibility of the system, the accountability of the system are all impotam as we try to work out some advice for the government. ll.we S age& deul ufp&k cmcem u&mt ptiwtizab mad the kieu that Ontariu is beaded tuward a two tied ~dmztim ystem w&b une stwubd of edzw&mfbr the tib and amtkfrw emyune eke. coa4uyosmmttitmtbkc#cm? Well I thinkthere has been a lot of misunderstandingabouttheword privatization. I think the extent to which more private fknding is occurring obviousIy depend on the extent to which tuition fees have increased relative to other sources [of university revenue], the extent to which private don& tions to colleges and universities have been increasing, and that all affects the degree ofprivate versus public funding in the mix of our universities and colleges. That has certainly changed over time and we are to explore that and comment on whether we have advice about how that is changing. Then there is the aspect of some parts or programs within some existing colleges or universities may be largely or totally supported without government hds so there have been some proposal for MBA programs for example that have essentially private sources of funding and that means some segment of the universi@ programs might have a very high component of private fillding. Then there is the question of should there be universities that are totally independent of public funding and that’s what a lot of people mean, I think, by privatisation. Well I think obviously you cannot take any one of the major Ontario universities and simply privatise them in the sense that there

endow-

ment to replace public funding. That would be a huge sum for any substantial university anyway. When people looked at this over time they concluded that there aren’t those pools of funds in Canada at this stage of our development to convert a major uni-

versitv into a private universitv. Tie real &ue there is simbly whether one should permit a new university or very smd university to be independent of public fundingandhavedegreegranungpowen Yes, we wiIl look at that, we will certiinly comment on that. It is an interesting issue, I don’t think quantitatively

it is very

large

t&m of soking fund&g iroblems that we have in our post-

secondary education system, but in the public education system in the U.K., there was a private university established some years ago, Buckingham University, in Australia thev established one orivate unlversi& Bond Univedty, so other systems that are essentially public have on occasion had a brivate universitv established and be will look a& see if that has been important and helpti or not.

My impression, and I say that we are going to study it, but my rough impression is that did not happen in England or in Australia. The evidence is not conclusive with that fear as I read it at the present.

Students will face a 19.8 per cent jump in tuition fees as of September 1996, with 10 per cent of that increase akcated for “local student aid.” Virtually all other fees will increase this fti, and the incremental pay increase for UW faculty has been stalled. The document reflected many of the pressures that national, provincial and local governments are facing today.

Easy riding with UW police Laying down the law for campus cycling uw Police

s a result of the increasing use of bicycles, 011 and off campus, the University Police and Parking Services felt that it would be prudent to outline the Law as it applies to bicycles and to provide some guidelines to the safe operation of a bicycle. A bicycle is more than a healthier, cheaper, quieter, convenient, environmentally friendlier mode of transportation. The Highway Traffic Act of Ontario (HTA), Section 1( 1) defines a bicycle to include a tricycle, and unicycle but does not include a motor assisted bicvcle. The HTA is a Provincid Staltutc designed to control the safe opcrxion of v&i&s in Ontario, a bicycle is a vehicle. The l’rovin&d I,e@ators have taken a Irery serious approach to the safe and appropriXc opct-ation of 3 biCyclc. For c?tampIc, the definition of 3 bicycle is in fact the first dc finitim in the Act. Also, bicycle is induikd further in the Act under Suction 1 (SC)), definition of a vehicle; as a motor vc hi&, trailer, traction cngi ne, farm tractor, t-cladbuilding machine, BXCYCLE and an)’ vehicle drawn, propelled, or driven by any kind of power, including MUSCULAR POWER, but does not include a motorized snow vehicle or a street car. There are other Sections throughout the Act that provide f&- any contravintion

of the rules of the road for the safe and appropriate operation of a bicycle, such as, overtaking, approaching, turning, clinging or attaching to another vehicle, passengers (one on a bicycle unless it is designed for more than one), and the equipment required on a bicycle (lights, r&l&tors and sounding device). Is the UTA serious regarding the Settions concerning bicycles? The answer is a very firm YES. Section 1 90a.( 1) of the Act states; a police of&x who finds any person contravening any provisions of this Act or any Municipal by-law relating to traffic while in charge of a bicycle may require that person to stop and to provide identification of himself or herself; (2) evew person who is required to stop, by a police-officer acting under Section (l), shall stop and identify himself or herself, (4) a police officer may arrest without warrant any person who does not comply with Sub. Section (2). Yes, this means failing to identify yourself when you have committed any contravention &f the Act regarding bicycles is an arresrable offence The University Police Service would like to outline some common sense,courtesy and compliance guidelines that will hopemy, ensure a safer and more pleasant conditions for biking. l

Driving - operate at a speed that is reasonable for the

conditions, not to exceed 4Okm - dismount and walk a bike in crowded conditions - dismount and walk a bike when crossing at a pedestrian cross-walk - dismount and walk a bike on a side walk - do not use wheelchair ramps - as a route around a stairway - maintain a reasonable distance between bikes - do not ride bikes two abreast, ride in single file - keep to the right side of the roadway - yield to pedestrians - obey all traffic signais - use signals when changing directions or stopping - use audible signals as the condition dictates - ensure all lighting on a bicycle is in working order and properly used - helmets are required for all cyclists under the age of eighteen. It is advisable for all persons operating a bicycle to wear a helmet. Parking - bicycles are to be parked at bicycle racks OdY - do not park bicycles in buildings - safe passage must be maintained at building entrances, exits, stairways, wheelchair ramps, etc. - do-not park bicycles to trees, lamp post or

any other object other than a bicycle rack. ~~sz - lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack ensuring all removable parts,ie wheels/seats etc. are secured to the bike rack or removed from the bike - “W” lock design is the best security measure for a bicycle. This can be enhanced by placing a plumbers T-pipe over the lockinerC’ mechanism - remember the most ingenious locking device is only a deterrent, however, that deterrent may be the difircnce to a thief Identifying - record the bicycle serial number - engrave your birth date, driver’s licence number, SIN. etc. on your bike and reco,rcI same - record make, model, colour or any other positive identification markings, etc. Reporting As as the bicycle owner is aware their property has be& stolen, immediately, report all the identifying features of the bicycle to the University Police Service. We are located on the northeast corner of‘ Ring Road in the Commissary Complex and we are available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Have a safe and enjoyable bicycling season.

f this is your first year in university, you are about to make the most crucial decision of your entire life. In all likelihood, you have already made it, but it’s not too late to change your mind. The decision is simply this: What are you going to take in university? There is one, and only one, factor that you need to take into consideration when it comes to making this decision. You may be thinking to yourself, “Well that’s easy, it’s X.” X no doubt stands for a variety of insipid things such as “whatever’s going to make me the most money’ or “what my parents said I should take” or (perhaps the most pathetic option) “what my girlfriend is taking.” Wrong, wrong, wrong. Look, you’re in university now; if you can’t answer simple questions such as this, what are you doing here? The answer is a rather uncomplicated one. Ask yourself about your course of study this question: “Do I enjoy it?” That’s it. Well, it’s a little bit more than that. You have to ask yoursclf”Do I love it? Do I wake up in the morning thankfLl that I have my course of study to look forward to each day? Do I wish I could take more classes because I love it so much?” Well, that might he overdoing it a little, but the simple fact of the matter is that unless you possess a fervent ‘and undying passion for your courses, you’re dead, Think about it. IJo you honestly believe you’ll be able to compete with other peopic in your cIasscs who read their textbooks for fun, discuss their course of study with their friends and stay after class to talk io the professor? Your life will be a sad joke of missed labs, late essays and an undying hatred for your seemin& satanic professors if you choose to cnrol in a field of snldy you do not enjoy. Even if somehow you manage to muddle your way through four years here (and the odds may very well see to it that even that doesn’t happen) and actually manage to pass with a moderate grade, you will certainly have a university degree. Boy, won’t people be impressed with that. Nobody’s got one of those. If you decide to make your decision based on any factor other than whether or not you enjoy it, you are doming yourself to four years of utter misery and a lifetime of failure. Should you decide to take a course of study that you don’t really care about (but you think it’ll make you rich) or that you genuinely dislike (because you think it’ll n-da fou rich) you are committing yourself to living in a trailer park somewhere outside of Hamilton with seven obstreperous ~ kids wondering if you should have one last drink ~ before you stick a gun in your mouth and squeeze 1 the trigger. One should be somewhat reasonable when pursuing this course of action. Simply because you love a certain program is not any insurance that vou will be successful in that field once vou 1 leaviuniversity. However, it is equally true &at if you do not love your progrti, -you most certainly will not be successti once you leave university. This university, like all others, is a corporation, and when students float into and out of classes is irrelevant. You are only one of tens of thousands of people that have worked their way up to this larval stage. You are going to need every last ounce of personal fortitude to prevent yourself from becoming another academic casualty. One way you can do that is to act&y love what you’re doing. Should you choose any other course of action, you have heady failed your first test and are ensuring a similar result for many, many more.

Just sav. know R

eading Imprint’s Hemprint pullout, I began to think back o high school, and the unceasing barrage ofanti-drug messages I was subjected to. The idea I got from the literature, speakers, and posters that I was force-fed was that drugs would destroy you, and that basically, if you were stupid enough to try them (yes, drugs were regarded as one generic entity of evil), you were on an express elevator to hell, stopping along the way only long enough to beat up old ladies, cause your parents crippling grief, and of course, kill a couple of people while you’re at it, This has not been the case. Yes, I have tied drugs. Then I tried them again. And wme I don’t consider myself any sort of addict, I am, I have to admit, a little past the experimental stage. The whole rcJust say No” thing seems a little hypocritical. I’m sure some of the same bureaucrats who take home our tax dollars as paycheques are popping their&understandable” ti like Prozac or Valium while they puVt together pamphlets L condemning drugs like Marijuana. Why are some drugs ok, but not others? I can understand

society’s

reluc-

tance to having the streets filled with coke-heads or smack addictx Anything that creates such an intense dendence will lead to crime as people E come desperate for cash to buy the next hit. But as far as the drugs I’ve personally experienced go (Marijuana, magic mushrooms and LSD), I really

don’t see that as becoming a problem. Western society has long since acknowledged the benefits of drugs. Go to a “Drug Store” and look at the selection. But for some reason, a few drugs got a bad rep, and it’s stuck. Some might argue that drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies have medicinal purposes, and therein lies the justification. Personally, I see a very he line between many “medicinal” drugs and the ones I’ve used. Sure Valium relieves stress, and maybe Prozac helps depression, but so does a joint. Compared to the legal drugs, alcohol and nicotine, the illegal ones I’ve done seem far superior. I’ve never seen anyone smoke a joint and get in a fight. Never. I hape seen lots of drunk people get violent. And maybe Marijuana does contain more carcinogens than cigarettes, but look at the amount smoked? Are you better off smoking two joints a day, or two packs? For the amount of weed the most committed smoker could go through, I don’t think that lung cmcer is a serious concern. There are, of course, other factors that should be taken into consideration when you want to compare illegal drugs to the government apprwvcd OIleS,

1. Smell. I like the smell of weed. I know people, smokers and non-smokers, who all like the smell of w=cJ certainly a lot more than they like the smell of cigarettes. And I’m talking regular cigarettes here, not supersones like Camels or something.

2. Calories. For those of us who like to look buff at the beach, drugs are a part of a low-fat diet. Weed? Zero calories. LSD? Zero calories. Mushrooms? Very, very few calories. Compare that to alcohol. I’ve never seen anyone with a weed-gut. 3. Hang-avers. I’ve woken up tier smoking lots of cigarettes the night before, and my mouth tastes like an ashtray. My throat is raw, and I cough stuff up. I’ve woken up tier drinking too much, shaking, my head pounding, feeling nauseous. In comparison, I wake up tier being stoned and I feel relaxed and well-rested. And as for the psychoactive drugs, granted, it may be a little difficult to sleep af?er you eat ‘&rooms or drop acid, but I can saywhen I do sleep, I wake up feeling ok. I certainly don’t stagger to the bathroom and start praying to the porcelain god. I’ve got a problem with the image of drug users as well. The drug users I know are happy, generous, friendly people who lead normal lives. Puritans beware, we walkamong you! All things considered, I like illegal drugs better. I’ve done the alcohol and cigarettes bit and found it both occasionally

unpleasant

and frequently

unsatisfying. So what I’m trying to say is; don’t take the media image of drug users too seriously. Don’t run screaming if someone passes you a joint at a party. It may not be as bad as you’ve been told.

by him from the fact that AIDS is more prevaknt among gays. Simplv the presence of a dangerous disease does not make those in its grip dangerous in themselves. As well, he points to the high suicide rate among homosexuals as a sign of “mental instability.” This flies dire& in the face of the true cause, the fact that many gays do seek solace in death due to societal pressures to be “normal,” not any sort of mental cause. He continues by stating that “a homosexual lifestvle is [not] a healthy one.” This shows he is unaware of one of the basic facts of homosexualiqr, that it is not a ‘Lifestyle choice’ - homosexuals are born homosend, and have no choice in the matter whatsoever. He then speculates that Mr. Zachariah is homosexual, simply because he writes in their defense. I’m sorv, but just because a person acts in defense of an issue, that does not necessarily mean they are involved within it personally. (Not to mention, a person’s sexualiT is none of anyone’s business, especially the Imprint whom Mr. Toolsie beseeches for specifics.) He then goes on to vaunt the “moral integrity” of UW. If he considers homosexuality immoral, I’m curious asto what he thinks of the Gay & Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo’s status as an oficial universiq organization. It is at this point that he contradicts his earlier statements of “tolerance”. To be speaking in these terms places him in the ranks of those Mr. Zachariah criticizes, which starts to show his true motivation for writing. In essence, Mr. Toolsie has approached this argument without an understanding of the circumstances and issues involved. It is he who should apologize to the community for his narrow commentary, not Mr. Zachariah as he demands.

To the Editor, To the Editor,

With great dismay, I read Alex Toolsie’s letter in the July 26 Imprint. He attacks Dan Zachariah’s “Lunacy of Prejudice” article with such ignorance and confusion that he makes a mockery of the issues of sexuality. He begins by attempting to summarize Mr. Zachariah’s article, but takes his comments to be

In regards to Mr. Alex Toolsie’s letter “UW owed an apology” from the July 26th issue of Imprint, I feel it is the GLB (gay, lesbian and bisexual) community (along with Mr. Dan Zachariah) who is owed an apology after the libelous and slanderous accusations made in his letter.

by Pete

for the most

part

it was

an incoherent rant, there are several points Mr Toolsie attempts to make which I would like to address. Mr. Tooisie begins with an attack of Dan Zachariah’s article

What they really found on the moon. “The lunacy of prejudice” accusing him of comparing “mainstream heterosexuals with Nazi Germany.” Please, Mr. Too&, read the article in it’s entirety and understand it before you go writing about it. “Assuming this is what you believe, then it is pretty obvious that if you can’t see the problem with your line of reasoning, then you are liviug in the wrong time. Maybe a better setting for you would be medieval Europe or Nazi Germany” is what Mr. Zachariah wrote. I see nowhere in this article where he states all “mainstream heterosexuals” are like Nazi Germany. Those sweeping generalizations are better left to the homophobes out there, ie, %ll homosexuals should be murdered as they are evil, etc...,” It is obvious that Mr. Zachariah is speaking to those people who believe that homosexuality is “immoral because it departs from our established code of conduct, it’s not what the majority of people do,” in other words, those who are out to prosecute homosexuals. Not every single heterosexual being in the universe as you believe. Mr. Toolsie then continues, listing the reasons %nyone with a little common sense knows just how dclngerous homosexuality

really is.” Predictably, out comes the terrible word that makes everyone run with terror: AIDS. you state that “everyone knows gays and lesbians are the primary carriers of this disease .” This comment is not only completely false, but a dangerous assumption as well. On a per capita global scale, the heterosexual population has a higher percentage of section than the homosexual. Of these three groups, (hers, gays, and lesbians) lesbians have the lowest infection rate. If we focus on just North America, lesbians still have the lowest rate. Furthermore, in the last few years, studies have shown that the gay community at large is doing far more to educate and stop the spread of HIV than heterosexuals. As it turns out, it is the heterosexual population right now who are experiencing the highest percentage of new HIV cases. Mr. Toolsie mqches on, stating “gays have a very high suicide rate which further shows their mental instability.” Historically yes, it is true that the suicide rate is higher, but the reasons for it have nothing to do with the homosexual per se. In the past (and unfortunately continuing today for some people) homosexuality was considered “sick, perverted, a -1 i -

unnatural, unhealthy, abnormal, misguided, freakish, an abomination, deviant, etc.” Should someone be found to be homosexual, or even b&ved to be homosexual, their names, place of employment, practically their whole life was published in the newspaper. In short, their life was destrayed. Everything from employment to housing was denied them, or they were forced to accept the lowest denominator. Even today, especially in high school, if its discovered that you’re gay, the harassment that follows from others can be non-stop. I encourage you to check any decent psychology text book, and you will find that WZ~person living under those conditions has a higher chance of committing suitide than others. These people are desperate for a way out. It is the treatment from others that causes their desire to end it all, not their homosexuality, and it is no different that those who are driven to bulimia, anorexia and even death due to the treatment they receive simply for being obese. Are we to say, Mr. Toolsie, that they should be condemned as well? Please, I urge you to look into the reasons behind the statistics, rather than l

simply skimming their surf&e and empioying them to make acase.If we were alI to do that, 1 could easily create an .argument that contends honour students are mentally unstable, due to their higher suicide rate. Stating, “I have to call it like it is,” is usually reserved (for those with honour, anyway) for when peopie are calling it like it is. Far from it, Mr. Toolsie is doing anything but. Instead, he is throwing around the propaganda and stereotypes that have survived over the years due to pure ignorance. Ideas that serve no purpose except to further the hatred already in place. “Believe it or not,” he continues, ‘&I usually put up with homosexuals without saying a thing. Quite frankly, I tolerate it very well.” I’m afraid the very fact that you wrote this letter speaks volumes to the contrary. What I see in your letter is some of the same prejudicia.& ignorant, homophobic and intolerant ideas without any basis in rational thought that you claim to not be victim of, Speculating on Mr. Zachariah’s sexual orientation, Mr. Toolsie throws out the phrase “Utiortunately, I am forced to speculate that Dan himself is a homosexual,” Why? Why should we believe Dan to be a homosexual? Why

would you even contemplate this? This kind of conjecture can do no good, and I fmd it highly offensive that you would simply assume this. You are, in essence, stating that anyone who sympathizes with the plight of the GLB community must be a homosexual, and clearly this is not the case. Should we ourselves speculate that Mr. Zachariah’s logic is so much more reasonable than your incoherent attempt, that you resort to this as a means to invalidate Mr. Zachariah? This paper is one that does a much better job than most in reporting the -news and student views than most other universitv papers, and it should stay righi here on Waterloo campus where it has the support of students, the Feds, and yes, even professors and faculty. I too take pride in the ethical principles and moral integrity of the universi~, and I am glad that those include practices of nondiscrimination. The University of Waterloo offers same-sex benefits to faculty and s&(which is used by some), it houses the office for GLLOW, and as such provides the community with a much needed service. I am at least glad to see you agree with that (or at least iou “tolerate” it, as you do homosexuals). Given this, Mr. Zachariah’s article does not conflict with the values of the university, in fact, it

Contrary to what Mr. l3rouwer asserts, then, I do not make anmmption about homosexual males and AIDS--I appeal to evkhce. And it’s the evidence that is most disturbing.

(3) Is this cost fair or unfair

Mr. Brouweralso tries to discount the disturbing evidence that in 1992 heart disease killed 83 times as many Canadians as did AIDS yet in 1994 cardiovascular research received half the public health dollars that AIDS research did. According to Mr. Brouwer, the apparent injustice here is to be tempered by two facts: ( 1) 5moking can be paralleled with heart disease the same way in which uns;lfe sexual practices are paralleled with HIV infection, which causes AIDS”; and (2) ccaperson infected with full blown AIDS experiences exposure to terminal diseases.” But isn’t Mr. Brouwer forgetting to address a few important questions? For example: Aren’t smokers with ficll-blown hati dimwe suffering a terminal diseasetw? And: Whyshouldtitir lives be ias impot%z~t (from a pubiic dollars point of view) than the lives of AIDS patients? And: Since the illnesses due to smoking and the illnesses due to uns& sexual practices both arise from life-style choices, why aren’t the public health care dollars more equitably distributed?

tics, because “Any given figure can be interpreted or reinterpreted to support a variety of different positions.” This is correct, and I accept the wisdom of his admonishment. Nevertheless, I think it is also wise to remind Mr. Green that we should be careful not to abandon statistical data altogether. Just becausesm statistical evidence is poor or misleading, it does not. follow logically that& statistical evidence is poor or misleading. Also, ‘. .just because a specific bit of stausucal evidence m@bt be poor or misleading, it does not follow logically that itk. In other words, instead of closing our eyes to statistical data because there exists a possibilaty that it’s poor or misleading, we need to carefully examine the data from the point of view of good reasoning, and then glean what is probably true and thus reasonable to believe. To his credit, Mr. Green is on target in his &ye to be cautious about the statistics ‘I present. However, because he thinks there mz&bt be a flaw, he seems simply to dismiss my’ claim (from Martinuk) that h&rtdisea.se killed 83 times as mariy Canadians in 1992, yet in 1994 cardiovascular research received lessthan halfthe public health care dollars that AIDS research received. According to Mr. Green, because the data has to do with two tierent years, I am guilty of “Comparing apples andoranges perhaps.” Well, perhaps-- but very apparently not.

Consider the following data: (1) Covering approximately a 15 year period, the tota ntimber of reported AIDS-related deaths in Canada by the end of I995 has amounted to 9,133 (Canadian Social Trends, p. 8); (2) the average number of Canadian women who die from breast cancer each yefir is about 4,500 (Alberta Report, January 18, 1993, p+ 8.); and (3) the average number of Canadians who die from cardiovascular disease eachyEa:ris about 75,000 (causes of Death 199294, Statistics Canada). Now, consider the federal government ‘s spending. That is, consider the fact that in 1993-94 the AIDS Strategy program received $35 million, Breast Cancer received $2.5 million, and Cardiovascular Disease received $3.8 million. Also, consider the fact that in 1994-95 the AIDS Strategy program received $43.5 million, Breast Cancer received $4.0 million, and Cardiovascular Disease received $3.8 million. (For substantiation of these allocations of federal funds, see “The Reform Party Dissenting Opinion on the StudyoftheNational AIDS Stratei?Y, ” available from Sharon Hayes, M.P., Port MoodyCoquitlam.) Thus, considerable data still points strongly in the direction of some vev dwqrntimate allocations of public health care dollars. Near the end of his letter, Mr. Green raises some very important questions about the possibility of achieving equitable public health care. He asks: “[A]t what point

he University of Waterloo is undoubtedly one of the least politically active campuses I have ever been to, I mean, I had a friend who went to York and he had a new story everyday about the crackpots from the Young Marxists, or the Young Trotsky&, or theYoungMtit-Trot&yists harassing him on the way to class. This sort of thing just doesn’t happen here, and after reading about the demands of the Progressive Conservatives youth wing at the national PC convention in Winnipeg I’m sort of glad. You see, my experience with devout politically active youth has been that they are mostly a bunch of daydreamers wkh little conception of political realities. Not to pick exclusively on the young Tories. The young Reformers I met at their national convention were a little nutty as well. I’ll elaborate on that in just one minute. I think it could be argued that any 20 year-old who is totally sold on any of Canada’s four big (or formerly big) parties is a little stupid or deluded. I mean, we are at the age where we are supposed to be idealists, and if you think that any of the parties are ideal, you’re a little wacky in my books. P&k itself is not an ideal; it’s a load of bullshit. Politics ti not about changing the world., despite some young activists claims to the contrary; it’s about schmckng, patronage, and lying. That’s just how it works. If you want someone to vote for your bill, you have to vote for theirs, etc., etc. Integrity? See ya. Now, the young Reformers I met in Vancouver were a nice bunch. Polite, well-dressed, they were, to a man (to use an expression, though many of them

do we start curtailing rights because they are going to cost us more?” And he asks: should motorcyclists be banned from riding their motorcycles since they are prone to more seriody injurious accidents? These are tough cluestions, and Mr, Green seems to think that their toughness preeludes the possibility of any reasonablesocialresponse. But areasonable social response is not impossible. Consider Mr. Green’s example about the motorcyclists. In the case of a motorcyclist whose driving directly endangers the physical health and welG.re ofothers, we deprive that person ofhis/ her driver’s license and we might even throw that person into prison (depending on the extent of the injustice perpetrated by that person). The point: As a society, we tie4 limit socially irresponsible behaviour, and we h curtail rights when we have determined that behaviour to be unjust to others. Now, suppose we have a small group of motorcyclists who are so prone to personal accidents that they tax the public health care system to such an extent that nonmotorcyclists--who also have an equal right to health care-- are given, say, 83 times kss health care. Wouldn’t it seem reasonable for the motorcyclists and nonmotorcyclists to think that such motorcycling is unjust (even though the exact point at which any injustice enters the picture is difkdt to determine)?

were women), completely sold on the party. I asked them if they had problems with some of the resolutions that could be interpreted as, for example, homophobic. Almost all of them replied yes, but that that was inconsequential to the other party ideals of ellminating the deficit or getting tough on crime. So state-endorsed (or is that enforced) homophobia is ok, so long as the government meets its deficit reduction targets? Like I said, a little nutty. I attended a Q&A period for the young Reformers with Preston Manning. Sadly, the best they could do was questions like (I am paraphrasing an act& question here) “Mr. Manning, I really love the Reform Party. What can I say to other people to make them love it like I do?” A little pathetic, really. Now, the young PC’s have come up with a great idea for getting tough on crime. Unlike Reformers who want to try more and more young offenders as adult, the PC Youth want to take &ese people and Umake...use of military-style boot camps as a sentencing option for young iudividuals aged 14 to 25 who commit non-violent crime” on the grounds that such boot camps will “instill proper values, decent behaviour and build character.” Uh, what? I’m afraid I can’t see society better off with a bunch of people with the character of General Jean Boyle running a.ro~nd. It’s nice to see young people take an active interest in politics, but before they shoot their mouths offwith crazy proposals, or sell out heart and soul, I think they should give their heads a shake and take a real look at the world, what they want it to be, and decide whether or not becoming a youth party member is really the way to achieve what they want.

\V G Research, as defined in the dictionary, is “scholarly investigation and study aiming to add to the sum of knowledge in some specific branch”. In this, research, both in its technical and social expressions, has become the preserve of experts. Although research and public interest research may both be performing the task of problem posing and problem resolution, the similarity ends with the words. The way WPIRG poses problems and the way we struggle for resolution is very different from the research that is the domain of experts. In fact, it would be more accurate for us to talk about “social investigation” rather than research. We are not interested per se in adding to the sum of knowledge - “knowledge for knowledge sake” has little place in WPIRG. Instead our investigations are goal directed; they imply action. In this sense, our research is a politically motivated and directed undertaking both in terms of the “problem posing” and “problem resolution” stages. Like all research, it’s not neutral or value-free. Typically the process of research follows from a definition of the problem, to the hypothesis formation, to the instrument construction, to data collection, and finally to data interpretation. In every stage ofthis process, choices are being made and values being expressed. In an automobile research department, the choice between developing a thinner metal alloy for automobiks as opposed to designing safe cars has more to do with political valuations than it has with the nature of engineering research, Research is always, and by logical necessity, based on moral and political valuations. In VVPIRG, unlike the “academy”, we are simply obliged to account for our values explicity. We are not concerned that public interest research is neither neutral or value-free, our only concern should be its reliability and its integrity. Four of the most important features of Public Interest Research is its expository nature, its documenting style, its analytic perspective, and its motivating interest. 1. Public interest research is expository in so far as it brings out into the open what was otherwise hidden or only partially revealed. 2. Public interest research is documentary, which very simply refers to the compilation and presentation of factual evidence. For WPIRG, factual evidence refers to both “hard data” and %oft data”. Hard data is the explicitly testable: the facts and figures. Sofi data is the experiential: the lived experience, opinions, feelings and understandings of those involved. 3. Public interest research is analytical. Information and knowledge needs a perspective. Public interest research presents its documentation within an analytical framework that roots discussions within a socioeconomic-political context. A public interest analysis must deal with the question of power, its constellations, its exercise, iti influence, and its prerogatives. For public interest research, the question of power is central to any analysis and power should be dealt with both in its broad economic formations and also in the mechanisms and structures by which it is mediated. 4. Finally

is motivating.

It has

as its goal - change; it has its message - act. It is therefore important that PIR develop in such a way that it collapses the traditional split between research and action and constitutes in its place a model of ccaction research” that is directly connected with people’s efforts to preserve and enhance their life support systems.

Just another night at the movies To the Editor, I am writing this letter to the eciitor to publicize a bad experience I had recently. I am a 2 l-year old student and employee of the university. My parents live locally, but I do not live at home. Last night, I went hclme to have dinner with my family, and take my eleven- yearold sister to see the new Michael Keaton movie, Multiplicity. We bought tickets (Wednesday night, fiAl price), for the 9130 showing of the film at Fairway Cinemas in Kitchener. I must say thclt the movie, at least what we saw of it, was very funny. We were enjoying it immensely until an usher came to our aisle in the theatre and beckoned us outside. This young man informed my sister md I that members of the theatre audience had complained that we were throwing things at them. I was really taken aback by this accusation, and told the usher that my sister and I had been quietly enjoying the movie for the last hour, and hadn’t been bothering anyone. The young man then said that there were two separate groups of patrons who had identified my sister and I as the culprits, Before I could speak in my own defense, we were being “ushered” to the theatre exit. At this point I asked to speak to the manager. The reception this gentleman gave me was no warmer than that of the usher. The manager explained that when two different parties point out that a specific customer is causing a disturbance, 110 f!urther proof of guilt is necessary. I’m also guessing that my youth did little to support my innocence. It would seem to me that the best action to take when a complaint is made would be for the usher to sit quietly at the back of the theatre to see who is really causing the problem. The usher took no such action. I feel that the job of an usher is to maintain the comfort and enjoyment of all customers. However, our guilt was based on the word of strangers that we have never met. I tried my best to reason with this man, but he refused to hear me out. I asked that the people who made the accusation be included in this discussion, but the manager rold me that those people were not going to be disturbed more than they already had been. It seems to me that my sister and I were the people being disturbed, and we had paid the same admission price as everyone in the theatre. 1 continued

with

the

manager for about ten minutes, at which time he finally gave in and offered us “one last chance.” He gave us two options: we could either return to the theatre and “behave ourselves,” or we couid leave. This was more than I could

take. First of ali, this man had no right to speak to me in such a manner. Second, while this man was harassing my sister and I, we had missed a significant portion of the movie. Finally, I was in no frame of mind at that point to sit down, relax, and enjoy the fti. I opted to leave, but not before requesting a refLnd. The manager gave us our money back (after verifying our ticket stubs, of course), and I informed him that I would be pursuing the matter further. At this, he simply shrugged. When my sister and I returned home, my parents were surprised to see us back so early. When we explained the situation, my parents were very upset. My sister, at this point, was Crying because of the wav she’d been treated, and my dad decided to call the theatre manager. After a long conversation with my dad, the manager realized he may have made a mistake in jumping to conclusions the way he did. He ended up apologizing to my dad, and offered us a chance to ‘%e their guest” for another movie. I am not about to have this condescending theatre manager buy me with free movie passes. This man ruined my evening, and upset my sister to the point of tears. While he may feel he is only doing his job, I cannot help but take it personally. If he thinks for one minute that I’m going to take an offer like that and forget the whole thing, he is sorely mistaken. I’ve made it my mission to tell evervone I know about this situation. It bothers me that young people are discriminated against like this. I’m a respectable, responsible individual. I pay my own way through school. I work two jobs. Taking my eleven year old sister to a full-price movie to throw things at people would not only be setting a bad example for her, but is a completely ridiculous notion to anyone who has ever met me. Fairway Cinemas, until yesterday, was my favourite theatre in town. I go there, on average, three times every month. And I don% go on cheap Tuesdays. I prefer to pay fU price to avoid the lineups, crowds, and hassles. How ironic that I paid good money to be treated like garbage. At this point, the only thing I want from Fairway Cinemas and its staffis an apology. In writing. Unfortunately, it’s doubti that anyone there would apologize to a 2Lyear-old “kid.” It’s easier to apologize to my father. It% too bad he’s not the one who wants to hear it.

This was a young team and should contend for years to come. 199596 also saw Waterloo emerge asthe curling powerhouse in Ontario, capturing both the men’s and ladies’ titles.

You might be saying to yourself, “Wow, Waterloo is a lot

cooler than I thought, and how could I get involved so I can get the national recognition, glory and fame that I so richly deserve?” If you have what it takes to be a Warrior or Athena then try out for a varsity team. The walk-on tryout schedule is on page 29. “Wait a minute,” you might

be saying to yourself now, Y’m not exactly an elite athlete but I do enjoy sports.” Well then, support your favourite team by going to watch the games (see above) or you could go one step fnrther and join us, here at Imprint sports, and immerse yourselfin all that is Waterloo athletics.

1996 Warrior Football season~~Ex+ww.. l

.No more Lady Luck by Kimberly Moser Imprint staif or two seasons, the Warrior football team has been F bumped from the playoffs with Lady Luck flirting with them throughout each of these crucial games. And, both times, she has deserted them just seconds before their celebration party could get underway. In 1996, Lady Luck will not be invited. After two seasons of hoping she’d be there to the end, the Warriors have banned her from the sidelines, deciding instead to create their own magic and secure that coveted playoff win without

This season, they will design their own destiny, deciding their fate by relying on each other and not the fickle Lady. The magic begins with a stellar defensive unit, led once again by tie Warriors’ “Black Storm”. Rover Tony Garland captains the attack in 1996, returning for his fifth and final year. Garland has been an OUAA All-Star the past two seasons and would like noth-

Trodd snagged two interceptions in 1995, his first full season as a starter. At cornerback, there is speculation that Kirk Witter may return for his fifth and final year of CIAU action. Witter was an OWAA All-Star in 1995 and would be an asset to the Warriors this season. If Witter does not return, however, the Warriors will still be strong with Tory Locker

Jr, Tulu Makonnen or Jason Tibbits on the other side. Locker was impressive in 1995 covering many of the OUAKs top receivers. Pauyo, who tore his Achilles tendon running varsity track this winter, had an impressive rookie season. If he

continues to play with the same competitive fire that he had in 1995, he will be a hard man to beat. Makonnen was originally a receiver who switched to defensive back in 1995 to utilize his incredible speed. He is a poised veteran who has done well for the Warriors in pressure situations. Tibbits is a second year player who dressed all of his rookie season as the back-up cornerback, At

lincbackc;,

the

Warriors

probably have their strongest unit in recent years. At butside linebacker, Mark McIntyre and Kevin Pressburger return along with inside linebackers Ryan Kirk and Jason Van Geel. In their last seasons, McIntyre and Kirk will be looking to make 1996 a cham-

pionship year. The Warriors’passrush specialist, Pressburger is one of the Warriors’ quickest stars. After an impressive 1995 season, 1996 looks even better for Pressburger. In his sophomore year, Van Gee1 earned both OUAA All-Star honors and AllCanadian StaNS. He is a tough, talented, and extremely intelligent fmtba piayer who will once again have an exciting season in 1996. Also

challenging

for starting

spots are fifth-year Warrior Rob Fawcett and third-year man Justin Karpowicz. Fawcett is the Warriors’ long snapper and will press for a starting spot in this, his final year of eligibility. Karpowicz was . continued to page 19

impressive during the Warriors’ spring camp and will no doubt be a key special teams player in 1996. Also watch for freshmen Daryl Tharbv out of Nelson in Burlin&on. At 6’2” and 225 lbs., Tharby could make a huge impact for the Warriors this season. At defensive line, four veterans 4.l be fighting for the three starting spots on the line. Rcturning from last year are Rob ,C1cMurren and Richard Riha. McMurrcn, big and strong at 6’4” and 260 Ibs., will he one of the players used to the spot leti by AllCanadian John Shoniker. Many on the Warriors coaching staff are expecting big things from Riha in 1996 as hc enters his fourth season. A poised, polished and extremely talented player, much of the Warriors’ success will be a result of Riha’s efforts. Back-ups from last season, Richard Hock and Peter Sintic will also press for starting positions. Hock is a 3c.condyear player ivho saw limited action in 1995. Sintic is a third year player who has contributed on special teams the last few vears, Also, do not d count out rookies Al Lang from Crestwood and Christian Schorn from Dunbarton. Both Lang and Schorn will be valuable assetsto the Warriors this season. On the other side of the ball, the Warrirxs have one of their most exciting players in quarterback 1Qan Wilkinson. Wilkinson was a standout in his tirst )rcar of CIAU action. After sitting out the 1994 season due to injuries, Wilkinson was in top form last scar at the helm of the Warriors attack. Wilkinson is the key to the Warriors success in 1996 and many are calling for another exciting year from this rising superstar. At receiver, the Warriors are solid with Adrian Thorne and Cohn Alic returning. Thornc broke Waterloo’s all-time record for carter receptions and recciving yardage in 1995 and Alie has been equally successful. Both players are in their last season with the Warriors and are hoping to bring home a Vanier Cup.

Andy MacGregor and Jeff Matthews will aIso challenge for starting spots. MacGregor is one of the fastest Warriors in camp and is a rising star on this squad. Matthews was surprisingly quick and in fantastic shape during spring camp after taking the 1995 season off. Also watch for rookies Chris Kreibich out of Banting High School and Clayton Magnus from Notre Dame in Burlington. At slotback, Rick Shea and Chris Amey return from last sea-

son. Shea, in his last season, is hoping to make 1996 his best ever. Amey, who is in his third year, was a key starter for the Warriors in 1995. John Kublinskis, Etienne Vanalderwerelt or Sean Fitzgerald will likely back-up during 1996. Kublinskis and Vanalderwerelt were impressive in their rookie seasons with the Warriors, while Fitzgerald returns after taking the 1995 season off. At tailback, the Warriors are strong with Jarrett Smith. Smith dominated the CIAO in rushing last season, gaining over 1000 yards in his first full season as a starter. Aaron Bygrove and Brian Belbeck will challenge for the backup position. Bygrove was the backup last year and was impressive in his limited action. Belbeck did not dress in his rookie season but is still a highly touted recruit. At fullback, the Warriors lost an incredible player in graduating senior *Mike Malott. Challenging for the position are second year players Eddie Kim and Ryan Skrobar. James Rankin, who was Malott’s back-up in 1995, will also compete for the spot, However, do not count out superstar rookie Doug Haidner, who set all kinds of records during his last year at Barrie North. 1; his first Ivear of CLAW action, Haidner could make quite an impact. At offensive line, Martin Barta and Dan Send&i are the returning tackles. Barta was an OUAA AU-Star last season and Sendecki was impressive in his first 11l season as a starter. At guard, the Warriors have moved Chris Bertoia from linebacker to guard and Stephen Szimanski is likely to return to the Warriors in 1996. An exciting rookie, Bertoia was a keyI member of the special teams unit last year. Szimanski was a starter in previous seasons who took the 1995 season off. At centre, the Warriors look strong with Zsolt Jonas. Jonas improved dramatically in 1995 on his technique and quickness, many were even expecting him to earn OUAA AU-Star Status in 1995, something he will likely receive in 1996. Backing up Jonas is third-year Warrior David Wright. Wright was the Warriors’&IVP on special teams in 1995 and will continue to lead the team on and off the field. Also challenging for positions are second year players Joe Neumayer and Brencian O’Conner and rookies Gordie Given and Eoin Connolly. On special teams, Arek Bigos returns as the Warriors field goal kicker in 1996, andMatt Armstrong is back as the Warriors punter. Backing up will likely be Anthony Riha.

Get out vour track shoes w

by Jeff

Miller

special to Imprint lthough the interuniversity indoor track and field A cason seemsdistant at this time of year, our Warrior and Athena coaches are anticipating the start of their competitive season which starts November 30, at Western. This year should prove to be particularly successful for the squad of runners, jumpers, and throwers with the return of some key veterans, and the recruitment ofsome very impressive fiosh polevaulters. Jumps coach Gary Wilson could not have acquired a better line-up of pole-vault newcomers. Young superstars Richard Sibley and Billy Miller will begin their careers as Warriors this season, following their one - two finish at the Canadian Junior championships, held in Kitchener this past August. Sibley wonthe event with a jump of 4.6Om, and Miller followed close behind at 4.5Om. Both new vaulters wiil be begin their first year of studies at Waterloo in the Faculty OfMathematics. Sibley tied down a $13 000 academic

scholarship at Laurier to attend Waterloo. Joining the newly appointed national junior pole-vault champions on the runway will be veteran leaper James Snatenchuk, long time coach of Sibley, and fourth year Science/Teaching student. Sibley, Miller, and Snatenchuk may find themselves trying to fill some rather large shoes after the expiry of Warrior vaulter, Jeff Miller. Jeff, Billy’s older brother and main training partner, was named co-winner of last year’s athlete-of-the-year award after wtig two consecutive CIAU pole-vault championships in ‘95 and ‘96. Although Sibley and Miller have chosen to attend the University of Waterloo for the strong mathematics co-op programs, they are fortunate to have joined a track team with an exceptional coaching staff, headed by national sprints and hurdles coach, Brent McFarlane. McFarlane’s training techniques are recognized worldwide, and he often assists world renowned athletes during their Olympic preparations. His influence played a vital role in the three Warrior/Athena CLAU medals

won last year ‘at the championships in Windsor. Also returning to track-side this season are veteran cross-country/middle distance coach Johnny Swarbrick. Swarbrick will be assisted by last year’s CIAU bronze medalist in the 3000m, Jason Gregoire. Jeff Miller will volunteer to assist the new vault and jump recruits under coach Garv Wilson. Returnin; to Waterloo’s track and field team roster this season are: TuIu Makonen, the present school record holder in the 200m; Judith Leroy, the 1996 CLAU bronze medalist in the 3 OOOm and CIAU all Canadian in cross country; Sarah Dillabough, the 1995 CIAU all Canadian in both cross-country and track, and new mom; Sapanta Dorey, returning from a scholarship in San Diego; Latoya Austin, National outdoor champion in the 20Om, and silver medalist in the 100m. New athletes are always welcomed and encouraged to start training with our track and field group. Regardless ofwhether you run, jump, or throw, whether you ran high school track or not, come on out and get in shape under the guidance of some of the best

The Warrior FootbalL Projle

Magic...Wilkfs Way by Kimberly Moser Imprint staff

e has been declared the Warriors next superstar. The one who will lead the gridiron Warriors to the promised land of Vanier Cups, Championships, and national recognition. The one who possesses all the ingredients of a great football player: speed, smarts, quickness, and most of all, heart. The one everyone stood up and took notice of last season as week after week, he produced game-winning heroics with little effort. He looked more like a seasoned veteran in 1995 than a fresh-faced rookie of CIAU action. He is the quiet, confident, and reserved, third-year Warrior quarterback, Ryan ‘Wilky” Wilkinson.

E;zci2:.i’ TABLES NOW LICENCED m

During 1995, Wilky emerged from the ranks of obscurity surprising many (including a coaching s&Chat toyed with the idea of switching the speedy star to a defensive back after a woeful spring scrimmage performance), ashe won the back-up quarterback Position in f&camp. Yet, this was j’ust the beginniig of* Wilky’s magrc. Thrown into the second game of the season as starter Kevin Danschinko went down with an injury, Wilky showed everyone, including the coaches, that they had made the right decision in fall camp. The Warriors lost the game L IRON MAN#l to Windsor, but Wilkyperformed well, completing 8 of his 13 passes and rushing for a team high 102 yards on only six carries. This magic continued gaining momentum as the season went on. Wilky’s 75-yard touchdown bomb to Adrian Thorne in the ’ FANTASTIC final minutes againstToronto won AMERICA #I-the game for the Warriors as they c FoUR#’ collected their first victory of the season. The following week, Wilky ran in the final touchdown against McMaster, sealing the win for the Waterloo, Against Guelph, he connected seven of his nine passes en route to a close victory. The following week, against Laurier, his game winning touchdown was called back because of a penalty and the Warriors settled for the tie. Against York, he completed 7 of his 14 rx~ses and in the final regular &ongame, Willry missed ody one of his receivers as he threw for 85 yards, ran for 65 and scored twice against the Gryphons. For his timely performances throughout the season, Wilkywas elevated to the starting quarterback position for the playoffgame against Western the following week. This is where Wilky’s magic shined brightest. Intensely ill from the flu, including such brand names as...P~OSpector, Birkenstock, i Wilky vaulted the Warriors to an early lead after an exhausting 88Geronimo, Wolverine,Caterpillar, Bos& Co. and Kodiak : yard touchdown run, despite the that he was white as a ghost BRINGIN THISADANDRECEIVE AN EXTRA : fact for most of the game, was run-

This is the kind of magic fans can look forward to from Wilky in 1996. Possessing 4.6 second 40 yard speed, a powerful arm, and incredible football, Wilky is without a doubt one of the Warriors brightest stars this season.

this year,” says Wilky when asked to comment on the 1994 season. UJarrett (Smith) will pick up a lot of the slack left by (the graduation of Mike) Malott and myself, I will be able to handle a bit more than I did last year. I hope to contribute just as much as Jarrett does. So, It kinda setsa tone where the other teams can’t. concentrate on one of the backs because even our full back will be good. Ifthey concern themselves with Jarrett or myself, then they have to worry about our full back running all day Against

Stone Cold is probably the best wrestler in the WWF with the exception of Bret Hart, Mere’s escort, Sable, was sporting a rather nice dress that was a departure from her typical tight leather outfits. Stone Cold got a few boos, proceeded to yell at the crowd, and was rewarded with cheers from Austin f;ms. He would beat the crap out Mero, and take time to yell at the fans some more, many of whom cheered him on. Chants of ccAustin, Austi, Austin” started up. Mero then mounted an offencc and hit Austin with a top rope Frankensteiner. Afkr Austin kicked out, Mankind came out to the ring and started chasing Sable, who he thinks is his mommy. Mero went her Mankind and was counted out. Winner : Stone Cold. I think the guy behind me re4ly likes Sycho Sid.

Vader got outside the ring and proceeded to deck one of the Argos, who seemed a bit miffed.

In this match, the WWF belt is suspended above the ring. A

lo-foot stepladder is conveniently provided for the combatants to use ta get the belts and pummel each other with. Whoever gets the belt first is the champion. Both guys found innovative ways to use a ladder to hurt somebody. They would hit each other with it, knock it over while one guy was climbing it, suplex and bodyslam each other onto it, and do just about anything you would do to,a person if you had a ladder as 5 weapon. The women were going nuts over Michaels while pretty much the whole place would get into chants of “Faggot, faggot, faggot” for the androgynous Goldust. In the end, Michaels superkicked Goldilocks, climbed the ladder, and fell down with the belt, victorious. Michaels took his sweet time celebrating, climbing sctiolds and anything else he could find to pose for the fans. Ladies and gentlemen, Sycha Sid has left the building.

process, and, more simply, greed. Baseball has lived in a fragile existence for too long now. An agreement must be reached before we have a repeat of 1994, because if we do have a repeat of this dark period in baseball, then the lights will stay out forever.

please?

I could see some rationale behind this stipulation. Mer all, why should you get credit for something you didn’t do, right? Ln fact, only one small detail prevents me from sounding off about the players on this issue. That small detail is precedent. Precedent is one of the major components of mdem law. Tradition, a concept related to precedent, is about the only thing keeping baseball going right now. See, in the past, whenever there was a work stoppage in baseball, the owners always gave the players credit for service time lost in the strike. (I don’t know which is worse, that work stoppages happen, or that they happen so much that I actually have to discuss precedence in these matters.> So why should they stop now? But wait, it gets better. The owners decided that they would give in a bit. They said that they would give the players credit for

his whole baseball negotiation thing is really starting to irk me. First they cancel the World Series. Then they delay the start of the 1995 season. Then they agree tonegotiate. Then all you hear is f’&sing over this term and bitching over that demand. They’ve been playing ball without a labour agreement for over three years. That’s when you hear the good news. The players actually agreed to a payroll tax. This was a major sticking point with the owners who seemed to be holding their breath until they were blue in the face to get this included in the deal. Great, problem solved. Let’s sign the thing, have a beer, and watch the pennant races, okay? Nope. Seems the owners are reluctant to give the players credit for service time lost during the strike. This service time would mean&at a few more players would become free agents tier this season. Now

Normally I’m a little more inclined to side with owners and management, but in this case,they are dead wrong. Since they have given the service time in the past

he disturbing recent trend of franchise free agency is a dark cloud hanging over the world of professional sports. Greedy owners who demand sweetheart deals m elsehave fans constantly in fear that their beloved team will be the next to leave town, It has become so easy for a team to pack up and leave town that some measure must be taken to curttil this activity. Another problem, which is more of a personal pet peeve, is that a city that gets an expansion team has to live through the years of building it into a contender, A city, say Colorado, that gets an already established team moved to it, doesn’t have to live through this process and possibly gets an immediate contender. Quebec Nordique fans had to live through all those years of horrible teams until they were built into a serious cup contender. Then they move to Marado and, lo&y here, Colarado fa get tocelebrate a Stanley Cup. Yeehaw, life sure is fair. It is for these reasons that 1

Marinoni

Skills

propose a rule for all professional sports that will make owners tknk twice before moving their team to greener pastures. We couldcall it the Colorado Rule. Simply put, the Colorado Rule states that any team that relocates should be treated as a form of an expansion team. They could get to keep maybe 10% of their current roster and lose the rest to a dispersal d.r&. To restock the team, an expansion-type d&t could be held. That way, the team loses most of its players and is now made up more like an expansion team. Since the team still has a farm system and front office intact they wun’t be totally disadvantaged but will sti have to build the team almost fromscratch. With a system like this in place, an owner will think twice before moving their team knowing that most of its talent will not be coming along for the ride. Also, an owner can still move a team if they really need to. Franchise relocation should only be a result of necessity, not greed. Unfortunately, one team gets a new stadium deal and then everyone else has to try and keep up with the Joneses. It’s pathetic, but, unfortunately, that’s life. If it’s gtiing to happen, there should at least be some deterrent in place to make relocating a team a matter of economic or other necessity and not simply human greed.

he fundamental purpose of the Sigma Chi Fraternity is to cultivate an appreciation of and commitment to the ideals of friendship, justice, and learning. The pace of life today is of& too hurried to foster the development of lasting friendships, and the quality of people’s lives suffers as a result. In college and throughout life, Sigma Chi brothers share in each others’ hopes and successes,and provide strong arms of support when they are needed most. Sigma Chi does not aspire to replace relationships with family or friends outside the Fraternity. Indeed, friendships formed through Sigma Chi will complement these existing relationships with bonds and experiences that would not exist outside the fraternal experience. Sigma Chi endeavors to pledge men of good character, and through its educational programs and fraternal activities, hastens their development into high-minded men and gentlemen. Throughout its history, Sigma Chi has endeavored to recruit, pledge, train, and initiate undergraduate men who are will-

ing to commit themselvees to the idealistic aims ofour brotherhood. Perpetuating the Founders’ original belief that friendship among men of different talents, temperaments, and convictions is superior to that of friendship among

men of the same taletns, tempermcnts, and convictions, requires an active effort to be inclusive. The quality of a person’s character and potential asa brother - not his race, religion, or background - are the criteria by which prospective members are judged. Founder Isaac M. Jordan composed what has become known as the Jordan Standard to define the explicit minimum criteria for

membership in Sigma Chi. Asuccessfu.l candidate must indicate that he will further the primary objectives of Sigma Chi: friendship, justice, and learning. He must have a congenial disposition, a high sense of honour, and a deep sense of personal responsibility. The potential Sigma Chi also must be a man of good character, and possessed ofgood morals. Finally, the individual must demonstrate that he is a student of fair ability and with ambitious purposes. For the sake of true brotherhood, real justice, and unfettered learning, the Sigma Chi Fraternity condemns and prohibts hazing. The Theta-Psi chapter at UW will he holding various events through the upcoming weeks. There will be joint events with Kappa Kappa Gnxna, the UW sorority, aid we encourage the women on campus to investigate what Kappa Kappa offers them as upcoming women in the world. For more information on Sigma Chi SCC < http://www. sigmachihq.orgl>. For the Fall Rush schedule call 7461897. Together we offer our congratulations to the Frosh of 1996.

enty-three years ago, stu dents organized the Wa terloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) to provide them with a vehicle to inform, challenge, and take action on issues adversely affecting people and the environment. Today, students and community members are still drawn together through WPIRG in the belief that, together, we need to continue to work towards a just, environmentally-sound, and democratic society. Issues addressed by volunteers include anti-racism, alternative economics, media literacy, housing and employment, ref&bishing discarded bikes, preserving old-growth forests, humane animal care and treatment, promotionofconservation measures, and a host of others. Volunteers have produced radio shows, erature, displays, slide shows, workshops, lecture and film series, conferences, and have successfully advocated for institutional change within government and at this university. Lack of previous organizational experience is no barrier. Through WPIRG, you can share ideas and skills with others and gain the practical experience you need to be effective in working in the interest of the whole COINIIUl-cry.

WHAT IS WPIRGP VVPIRG is an incorporated non-profit volunteer-directed organization with a mandate to research, inform, and take action on issues affecting our community% well-being. We seek to foster social change that is based on respect, diversity, equality, and dignity. VVPIRG provides a library, office, and St&support to people who share our mission.

OURGOAIS 1. To motivate civic participation and responsibility by encouragingmembers and othercitizens to become concerned, informed, and active in their community. 2.

The JSA and You

media guides and builders on the 1993 Jimmy Carter work project in Kitchener. This summer we have helped Waterloo Region in a number of local salvage operations. Swinging a sledge hammer at a Habitat salvage site is the perfect cure for the stress and pressures of school. Salvage operations involve Ude-con.structingn condemned buildings, Re-usable materials from salvages (i.e. 2 x 4’s, lights, windows, doors etc.) are soid at the Habitat Re-store and proceeds go toward future buiLds. With salvage, 0n, buildandrenovationsprojectsschduled for the K-W area over the next few months, there is plenty of opportunities to get involved. .

The first Canadian campus chapter of Habitat was established in 1992, right here at the University of Waterloo. Since our early beginnings we have been active in local Habitat projects, fLndraising, and the annual collegiate challenge. Our traditional fiuxi.rz&.t~p; activities include a fall clean-up, cider s& and our extremely popular benefit concert. In addi-

ow can a busy university student help make the world a better place? If’ you have ever asked this question, the UW chapter of Habitat for Humanity is for you! Habitat for Humanity is an international non-profit organization with the goal ofeliminating poveq housing. As an organization we seek to make decent housing a matter of both conscience and action. Habitat is based Habitat is based on partnerships. The guiding philosophy is that people need a hand up, not a hand out. Habitat seeks creative ways to work ti~b people in need to improve their guiding philosophy is situation. With continuing govemment cutbacks to social services, Habitat provides a source of practical hope for families in need. Instead a conventional of requiring downpayment, homeowners contribute %weat equity” which consists of 500 hours of volunteer work with Habitat. Some of this time may be spent on the building crew of their m tion, this year we hope to sponsor a coffee home. Habitat houses are sold at no profit, house. Over the years there have been and all mortgages are interest free. Mortample opportunities to swing a hammer, gage payments go into a revolving fund We have been involved in builds in Guelph, and are used to support the construction of Kitchener, Zainesville, Phillipsburg, and new houses. Houses are built or renovated Cleveland. Members of the UW chapter with largely voiunteer labour and materials also helped with renovations of the Oasis are either donated or purchased at a dis- drop-in center in Kitchener, and worked as

Konnichiwa Japan is the University ofWaterloo’s Japanese cultural club. Established several years ago, this is a relatively new and small group compared to other cultural clubs. Although Konnichiwa Japan (or Konja, for short) is not very big, we have been active by taking part in many cultural caravans put tin by the FEDS, as well as planning our own events for club members. Aside from weekly meetings discussing cerain aepects of culture such as origami, food, pop culture, and student exchange experiences, there are weekly conversation groups where you can learn and improve your Japanese or help others. It’s not an actual Japanese language class, but a reiaxed approach to learning Japanese usually based on a “theme” such as shopping, sports? or etiquette in Japan. Several more elaborate events are planned throught the term as well. Events have included a Japanese movie night, restaurant night,

cooking class, seminar on working and living in Japan, and an end of term party. The restaurant night is the highlight of the term since it uauaUy involves to - brace yourself!

CLUBS

a road trip

- Toronto to feast upon Japanese culinary delights, and a little bit of karaoke (in your language of choice) to compiete the evening. In addition to the endless fun of Konniciwa meetings, information about the Co-op Japan program is available, and there are students who have gone through theprocess that are willing to educate others about their experiences. You don’t have to be Japanese or remotely Asian to join Konja. In fact, in most terms the number of non-Japanese greatly outnumber the Japanese. Just as long as you are inteested in some aspect of the Japanese culture, or would like to meet a friendly bunch of people, come on by and join us! Our first general meeting will occur during the first few weeks of September, so keep an eye out for posters or e-mail the club at < konjaeluni >, or drop us a note in our mailbox in the Clubs Room in the Student Life Centre. Hope to see you then!

hers, we share a special affinity for humankind’s activities beyond the Earth. Currently, there are over 60 SEDS chapters in North America, Europe, and Asia.
