to a loans-only system. In 1993-94, the default rate among Ontario students was 17.95 per cent, which is “unacceptably high” in the words of Helmut Zisser, the ministry’s director of student-support branch. The default rates vary among the institutions - 18 per cent for university students, 21 per cent for college students and 30 per cent for vocational schooi students. A similar trend can be found for the Canada Student Loans

Program where 22.2 per cent of 1990-91 borrowers defaulted three years later. The province is weighing several alternatives to reduce the incidence of defaults. One option is to replace the current program with one that ties repayment to the student’s titure income, technically known as income-contingent loan repayment Student groups oppose this notion saying that it will saddle low-income student with years of long-term debt. Brad Lavigne, national director of the Canadian Federation of Students, suggests that the government should permit a longer grace period for repayment so that graduate students can work and save up for repayment. Kelly Foley, Vice President Education of the Federation of Students, points out that there is generally a two year period tier graduation when a graduate’s income is low. After this there is an average increase in income for graduates. Foley suggests

proposed policy on “intellectual property rights” as presented at a UW Senate meeting on Monday. Policy 73 deals with the complicated topic of control and profits from copyrights, patents, and other forms of intellectual property. The draft policy was written by a committee chaired by Jim Brox of the economics department, and will be discussed in various forums around campus in the upcoming weeks. The committee was struck in 1994 from various prominent members of the university community, including Jim Kalbfleisch, VI? Academic and Provost, and Lois Claxton, UW Secretary and also the committee’s secretary. To quote then committee chair Kalbfleisch, YCIe most prominent issue, in terms of current interests, is the question of professor/student relationships, and recognition of contributions to scholarly work . . . The University should review its policies and, practices in this area to ensure that relationships among all contributors are not being abused and that credit for scholarly work is being fairly awarded.” The policy stays true to UWs perennial philosophy that most inventions, written works etc. are the property of the person or persons who produced them. This is an atypical practice at Canadian universities, since many institutions assert ownership of intellectual property over their respective authors. The draft does recognize the University’s contribution however, and affkms UWS right to a 5% share of any project that proves commercially profitable. It also introduces a new obligation to disclose an idea to the office of research before an idea

or project becomes a commercial commodity. The right to be acknowledged for “all contributions to scholarly work’% affirmed in the text, covering everything from a researcher’s name in print, to their rights to a share of profits. According to Brox, a concrete approach to the problem of copyright was overdue ‘We really didn’t have a policy before. ..it was sort of a hodgepodge of directives. Most other institutions have one, so it was high time that we did” he said. Brox also said that UVV’s policy of allowing researchers to retain the rights to their work has contributed to the University’s successfui research over the years. At

other universities, the prospect of doing painstaking research only to see their employer reap the rewards can be disheartening. WV’s approach however, gives more credit (and, if commercially viable, more money) to the people at an idea’s genesis. The proposed @licy retains this practice, Brox said. Policy 73 will now make the rounds of various faculty asscxiations on campus, some with studerlt representation, where the various clauses and precepts in the document will be debated: The&icy will then be revisited bv the Senate in October. The proposed’docurnent can be found in fi~ll on the UVV Info website, on the secretariat’s page.

Rent control revisited by Dave special to

ANNUAL GE.NERAL MEETING

Tory government’s plan to gut rent control has come up against substan-

from

housing

co-

ordinators, tenants, and the Liberal party. The government’s planned changes to the Ontario Rent Control legislation will allow landlords to set rental rates for newly arriving tenants. Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton councillor Alex Cullen points out that Tory studies show that one-quarter of all tenants move each year, and that within five years, more than 70 per cent of tenants will have moved. “Vacancy de-control will allow landlords to raise rents to whatever they wish everytime an apartment becomes vacant,” claims Rosemary O’Donnell, manager of the Peterborough Housing Resource Centre. The Centre was closed at the end of August due to Tory cuts. “Outright repeal of rent controls at this stage and a return to a totally free market system without any other safeguards would cause intolerable hardship” says Etienne Saint-Aubin of the Dundas & Glengarry Legal Clinic.

The Tories purpose in the relaxation of rent controls and return to a free market forces is to produce realistic rent levels through supply and demand, rates which will more ~10x1~ reflect the true value of housing in an active economy, rather th&r the artificial rate caps formerly in place. A Ministry of Municipal AfGrs and Housing study claims that an uncontrolled r&tat market in Ontario would result in lower rents. While Liberal MPP Alvin Curling claims it will instead create an uopen season” on tenants, the Tories believe a balance will be. reached between how much tenants are willing to pay, and competition among landlords, plus desire to attract tenants, which will keep costs down. There are still concerns that there will be a lack of affordable housing in many areas. Public hearings about the new legislation were held early September in Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Ottawa, Peterborough, Hamilton, Windsor, London, Kitchener, ;tnd Toronto, with 260 presentations being made and many individual written submissions, “A basic need is in potential jeopardy from this government’s proposed rent control changes” states

Vernon Kimball, Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Coordinator, Thunder Bay Friendship Centre. Despite hearings, the Tories have retised to release key data gathered from governmen&iti&ed rent contrO1 studies, voting unanimously to stifle the results of studies of the impact of government’s ‘&tenant pr&ection package” on tenants. Anne Beaumont, Assistant Deputy Minister to the Ministry of Municipal Afl?tirs and Housing, acknowledged that the government had hired a consultant to research the impact of the new Rent Control changes and that interim results have Gen provided for the Minister. “It was a chance for the Harris government to show they have no fear of the facts” said Gerard Kennedy, Associate Liberal Housing Critic. “It is negligent of this-government or it is deliberate, to hide this information from the public.” Tenants opposed to the changes should write to Housing Minister Al Leach or their local MPP; those with access to the World Wide Web can stay informed on-line by viewing the Liberal Web Page at www.interlog.com/-liberal.

continued from page 3 that during this two year lag, the incidence defaulted loans could be decreased ifgraduates were able to repay their loans on an income contingent basis. ‘The loan system is archaic and anachronistiqn argues Foley. “It doesn’t help stu&nts and it’s way too expensive for the government.” TheTory government promised students an income contingent loan repayment system before they were elected in June 1995. Another alternative for Ontario is to copy -_ recent changes to student loans across the country. The key change is a risk-

sharing agreement that shifts the onus of debt collection from government to commercial banks. Essentially, the government pays the banks five per cent of the loan value and it is up to the bank to collect the loans from the students. With the system only a year old, it is too early to assessthe effectiveness of this new system. Student-default is part of the larger issue of the sharing of the financial burden by students and taxpayers in financing postsecondary education. Student leaders, however maintain that accessibility to postsecondary education should be the top priority of both the provincial and federal governments in the &a of education.

College of teachers established by Greg Krafchick Imprint staff

ith congratulations from Minister of Education John Snobelen, the new Ontario college ofTeachers was lauched Monday at a news conference in Toronto, despite the misgivings of various teacher’s groups. The mandate of the College, in Snobelen’s words, is to “de-

velop and and enforce standards far &acher training, certification and practice” throughout the entire education system. “For the first time, parents can be assured that students are getting the best teaching possible, throughout their working careers,” Snobelen said. He added “The new three Rs of our education system will include responsibility to parents, relevance to our students, and re-

spect for our teachers.” Registration of teachers across the province has already begun. According to the UCT website, teachers, “will be required to participate in professional development activities accredited by the Ontario College ofTeachers.” Once the positions are filled in the college, educational standards to which teachers must adhere to will be hammered out. They will also handle issues of

imcompetence among individual educators. Teachers groups, however, remain unconvinced. BillMartin, president of the Ontario Federation of Teachers, says that his organization will work to abolish the college, an institution he describes as %nother level of bureaucracy.” Nevertheless, the OFT intends to actively pursue election to the college, to ensure that teach-

ers’ interests are served in the best way possible. The college will be governed by a council made up of 3 1 members, with 17 drawn from the education sector, including 14 representitives of teachers in the public, separate, and Francophone systems, and three from supervisory officers, private schools, and faculties of education. The rest of the seats will be filled by public figures, meaning that the voting majority does not go to teachers - a setup that the OFT also op-poses Similar colleges exist in other provinces, and around the world. British Columbia teachers established a self-regulatory board eight years ago, and Scotland has had one in place for a total of twentyeight years. New Zealand is currently Imking at instituting a similar organization.

Designed as a means to bridge the gap between academia and business, the program gives students a comprehensive education in both science and business. Students will have the option of declaring a major in any of the five science disciplines and will complement their science knowledge with courses in economics, accounting, computers and business. In addition to this extensive framework, the students will take courses specifically designed for the program to train them in the teamwork and leadership skills they will require in the scientific business environment. This unique combination will give graduates an edge in an increasingly competitive global market place.

The voice of experience coap 101 by Chris Law special to Imprint Well the second week of school is over now and many of you first year (and Possibly upper year) co-op students are probabIy feeling you are in a little over your head. As if spending time worrying about classesand meeting new people were not stressing you out enough, you need to get your resume together and worry about co-op too. I know that I was pretty tense dmut it in first year, so I thought a few words of friendly advice might be in order. First off, figure out when all the important dates are. Ofcourse, along with that goes my other pieces of advice: don’t miss them, and be prepared for them. This whole co-op thing happens really quickly and before you know it you’ll have to start checking Accessand throwing resumes in bins. Once vou fall behind on things like getting your resume

together it’s tough to get back on track. You don’t Want to be scrambling, pulling this thing together at the last minute; it’s one&f the deciding factors in your getting a job. So how do you figure out when all the dates are? They should

ing things in the world to go to, but they do tell you everything that you need to know about coop. It% tempting to skip them, catch a couple extra hours of sleep and then ask your friends what happened. Trust me, it’s not a smart move.

It was a cold dav in Waterdown when Tori came to town, A once famous dancer on the Jazzcircuit, there was no other way to describe her situation; Tori w& washed up. For days she wandered the streets, living in parks, seeking shelter in gazebos. Were it- not for the Student Part-time Employment and Volunteer Centre, Tori would never have known that there was a teaching job that was perfect for her. Now Tori is jazz running all the way to the bank and she owes it all to the Feds. (the part-time employment and volunteer centre is located in the Service area of the Student Life Centre and is current.Iy looking for volunteers. ) The Young and the Tasteless Becka was heading for selfdestruction and her roommate Andrea marvelled at how blind she seemed to her serious problem. It was nothing for Becka to read the morning news while cracking her first beer, and by lunch she was usually too blitzed to go to her afternoon classes.The rent was overdue and the stress was becoming more than Andrea

could bear. Finally one mgnt UI a fit of despair, Andrea reached for the phone and called PALS (8884860). The phoneline volunteer was able to reassure Andrea that it wasn’t her fault that Becka had a problem. The peer helper told Andrea about BACCHUS, which is a service intended to educate students about drinking responsibly. They also gave her a number at Counselling Services that could help. Now Becka is learning to crack an egg over breakfast instead of a beer, thanks to Andrea taking the initiative to make the call. (BACCHUS is a service provided by the FEDS, and the first Person to call Julie Primeau at x3780 and tell her what BACCHUS stands for will win a free t-shirt. (some restrictions apply)) It was mid-term time in Salem and Kelsey couldn’t handle the pressure. She had a job to hold downandverylittletimeforstudying. It was the night before her Calculus exam and she had just worked a double shift at the Bomber. She poured herself a steaming cup ofcoffee and settled in for a night of studying when the next thing she knew she was fast asleep at her desk. It was morning before her roommate Meagan came in to wake her up

for class ana Keisey naan-t even opened her book. I .In ciass, Kelsey’s ears were ringing with stress as her heart pounded from her chest. A cold sweat broke out above her lip as she realized she knew no&q. She glanced over at Meagan and realized that if she squinted a certain way that she could read all of the answers - what choice did she have? In the next instant Kelsey felt a firm hand on her shoulder; and she knew the gig was up - she had been caught. She tried to explain the siGation to her profe&or, but to no avail. Fe&ng expulsion, Kelsey reached out for help. She called the Ombudspersan who was able to give her advice on how to deal With this situation. Kelsev survived the ordeal claiming tb have learned her lesson - but will she sign up for a shift the night before her fir&??? Only tin& will tell. of the (Th e office Umbudsperson is located in the service area of the Student Life Centre and can be reached by phone at ext. 2402.) The FEDS provide these services along with many more. For information on how to get in touch with a service or to volunteer, contact the Julie at x3780. l

one of the most important skills that you’ll learn through co-op. Your resume is the first thing that an employer will see, and if they don’t like it, that’s it, game over, try again next term. So you have to make your resume something that will make them want to interview you. -It’s best to have things that set you apart from everyone else. II know it’s tough to make working at the pool as a lifeguard sound relevant to the job you want as a C+ + developer, but it can be done, Figure out what the emplover wants to see on vour res&&. Look at the job Po&ing

and especially hard at the wording they use. Do they want people who are responsible? creative? Were you ever creative or maybe responsible for anything? Say maybe at that job at the Pool? I think you get the idea. The one other thing you can do to improve your odds is to write a cover letter. No, probably not for every single job you apply to (that would take insane amounts oftime) but certainly for those that you’d die (or at least kill) for. A cover letter shows that youcareaboutthejob,andagood cover letter helps set you apart from everyone else. My final piece of advice: You should always have someone proofread your resume and critique it. The more the merrier. Nothing turns employers off more than spelling and grammar errors because it shows that you aren’t professional. Compare resumes with other people in your house, especially people in upper year. cCBorrow’ythe cool ideas that they used. There is also a group of people on campus who specialize in looking at resumes. They’re the Student Career Advisors and they have been trained to iook at and critique resumes. You can fmd them in Needles Hall, and they’ll give you better advice than your roommate for free.

alarms, and while they are on campus investigating these f&e alarms, a large area’of the city is now relying on more distant fire stations-to respond in the event of a real emergency.

A shocking statistic, one that these pranksters likely are unaware of, is that in recent years, 35% of all fire fighter deaths in North America occurred while on the road, on the way to a call for help, be it real or false. Firefighters provide a valuable life-saving service, and for someone to maliciously cause a false alarm and risk the lives of firefighters and the public is unthinkable, not to mention illegal. A student in Peterborough recently found out that intentionally causing a false fire alarm is an offense that carries a fine of up to $2,WO

a maximum

of two

years in jail, resulting in a criminal record which could affect future career choices. He received 30 days in jail, for a stupid prank. Think before you act - words to live by.

Let \ Perot speak

bove my desk sits a red, white and blue ’ placard from the 1992 Presidential elec‘on in support of Ross Perot. It’s a bit of a joke; I must admit, but not entirely without some measure of respect. Notwithstanding his comical demeanour, his unique brand of melding politics with television, and the absurdity of a billionaire industrialist running for leader of the free world, Perot was a seirious threat to Republicans and Democrats in 1992. Despite his retreat and subsequent return to the presidential race, Perot still managed to claim a stunning 19 per cent of the popular vote in the election - a result that would no doubt have been even higher had he not lefi the race. It comes as a sign of a perverted democratic process, then, that the Commission on Presidential Debates has decided to exclude Perot from participating in the upcoming presidential debates. The supposed reason that the Commission gave was that Perot had no real chance of winning the election. Such reasoning smacks ofa self-fi.ZIKng prophecy. It is foolish to deny the role television plays in public perception and voting trends. Over 100 million people watched the ‘92 presidential debates and while his appearancecertainly wouldn’t guarantee a victory, to exclude him virtually ensures his defeat. Despite the title “bipartisan” that the Commission holds, it’s obvious that both Clinton and Dole stand to gain as a result of Perot’s exclusion. The damage inflicted by Perot’s ‘92 campaign demonstrated his ability to draw voters from both parties to his camp. The less choice in the political market, the larger the share for both parties. To doubt that such gerrymandering doesn’t go on in Washington is ridiculously naive. Even if Perot doesn’t have a serious shot at becoming President, enough Americans voted for him in the last election to merit his participation in the upcoming debates. At the same time, his position allows him to attackDole and Clinton on unique grounds. Clinton and Dole have ken battling each other for months now and it’s hardly been a barrage of bm~smts. “YOU don’t have any military experience you potsmoking hippie” vs. “You’re part of the old guard, let’s look to the fre you decrepit old man” is wearing pretty thin. The typical election promises (or “lies” as we call them in the real world)’ have grown to such ridiculous proportions that it’s hard to listen to them without laughing. Perhaps Perot could call Dole on his vow to double federal spending on prisons. Current spending on federal and state prisons tops 72.3 billion dollars. In an era where the U.S. government is looking for ways to cut back spending and chip away at its $3 trillion debt, the very idea that the federal government could double spending is insulting and absurd. Dole is simply lying. There is, of course, a reason why he is lying. Democracy is about public perception, and Dole, as leader of the GOP., must take that into account with virtually no leeway. Perot can take chances, and that would inject a new dimension into the debates. IfPerot’s ideas are preposterous, let Clinton and Dole prove him wrong rather than use thkir power to avoid him. It remains in the interest of those in positions of power to take whatever measures are necessary

rli the abortion debate ever be settled once and for all? Not likely, given the strong emotions of both pro-life and prochoice factions, which serve to hinder anykindofconsensus.Peopleonboth sides of the controversy try to establish unassailable arguments designed to suppress opposing viewpoints on the grounds that they inhibit personal freedom. The best example of this type of polemical rhetoric can be seen in the stance of certain pro-choice advocates. I am referring specifically to the feminist mantra which states that, by op.posing abortion, you are denying women control over their own bodies. They go no further than this common refrain, and if you don’t agree with it, then you are crossing the line of political correctness, which in tuday’s stifling social atmosphere, is a no-no. We have become so paralyzed by the fear of violating the conventions of political correctness that we can no longer engage in rational, nonpartisan debate. Taking a stance against abortion has nothing to do with trying to control women’s bodies, and there is no conspiracy by our

situation. But by making this the central point of debate, the feminists are taking a reductive approach which only clouds the real issues. For, despite the fact that contraceptives and the accompanying literature have been made available to the

public in unseen quantities, women in North America still look to abortion as a common form of birth conkol. This is especially true in Canada, where women have been given almost complete autonomy in decisions pertaining to abortion. In fact, there is even talk that if Bob Dole wins the U.S. Presidency and legislates tougher abortion laws, many American women will trek up to the border and have abortions performed in Canada. Because of our country’s liberal abortion laws and the social climate which they have fostered, it has become accepted, without reservation, that getting an abortion is okay, even natural. Although arguments which place emphasis on the sanctity of a woman’s choice can be compelling, it should also be noted that there are other considerations which must not be cavalierly pushed aside. People forget that the fetus is being denied control over its own body, and in the worst possible way. The fetus is dependent on the womm for its survival, but this should not in any way obscure.the fact that it functions as a life form with organs and a genetic code like every other human being. How can a fetus not be P living

than

what we encounter outside of our mother’s wombs; it is a biological process that takes into account our pre-natal development, which in turn spawns autonomous creatures like ourselves. If we hold human life to be so precious, then drhy do we treat the

process ofhuman formation with such contempt, without which there would be no life outside the uterus? Besides, we are all dependent on our mothers (or some other person) at some time in our “human” lives; it is just a different type of dependence from the fetus-mother relationship. I won’t attempt to scare you with the physical and psychological problems that women experience from getting abortions; the death rate of such women is seven tin-k lower than the death rate of women who bear their child, and depending on which statistics you look at, women on average either suffer from feeling of guilt quite frequently (usually many years after the abortion was perf&med), or they don’t. In the final analysis, this vexing conundrum revolves around the rights of two parties, the right of the woman to have an abortion, which means access to facilities that provide this service, and the right of the unborn human fetus to live. Obviously, one side cannot be accomodated without hurting the other, but it is important to discern exactly who is incurring the greater share of pain. As responsible people, WC should at least make; an attempt to become informed on the issues; read the literature, listen to the interviews, look at the pictures, and then YOU decide for yourselfwhether or not abortion is right.

But soon afker the U.S.3 initial involvement in the Middle East, controversy erupted. This came as no surprise, however, due to the fact that many people were wondering why the United States even cared about a small country like Kuwait in the first place. And many people were angry to find out that the U.S. and its allies during the war brutally destroyed many Iraqi lives with their state of the art military technology, some of it still being in the experimental stages. But the one fact that the U.S. was withholding from us was the fact that the involvment in the Gulf war wasn’t for the citizens of Kuwait, it was for the oil aristocrats stationed both in Kuwait and in the United States. The loss of the Kuwaiti oil fields would have resulted in the loss of billions of dollars to any one of the many oil producers in the region. To this day the U.S. has still not admitted this fact and the official United States Documents state that the U.S. was asked to help defend Kuwait by the Kuwaiti government. But today the controversy over Operation Desert Storm continues. In the book The CIA’sGw~testHts, by Mark Zepezauer, another plausible theoj is stated on how

and why the Gulf War started. According to the book, Kuwaiti oil sheiks were slant-drilling into Iraqi territory; in other words taking Iraqi oil. The Kuw&itis as well as other multinational oil companies, some of which were American, were “pumping some 14 billion dollars worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory.” It’s no wonder why Saddam Hussein then invaded Kuwait with all the forces he had accessto. He simply wanted Iraq’s oil back, or at least compensation for the b& lions of dollars worth of oil taken from Iraq. If this CLslant-drilling theory as stated by Zepenzauer is correct, then not too many people know the truth about the Gulf War. Many of us want to believe that Kuwait did nothing wrong to provoke an Iraqi invasion, which according to Zepenzauer is a myth: a myth perpetuated by the American media. I’d give a hundred bucks to see former U.S. President George Bush sit down and address the nation to tell them that it was greedy oil capitalists that started the Gulf War, which costs this world thousands of human lives. - Ti??wt@B&mh

Ombusperson hiring irregularities? To tkreE&w, During July there was a solicitation and selection ofa contract position to replace the university Ombudsperson during a nine month planned educational leave. The seleaion process suggests there are ethical questions to bc addressed regarding the overall fairness of how our university community has been provided with an ombudsperson. This ultimately raises a question regarding the integrity of the dispute resolution service being provided to the university community. It appears that the concept of fairness, so inherent in the position itself, is not applicable to the selection process to fill the position. The advertisement stipulated three criteria, ali of which I had. However, when I enquired about my own lack of an interview, I was informed that I did not have yet another criterion. This implies that those granted an interview did have this additional criterion - a course in dispute resolution for students. Why was such a specific criterion not stipulated in the ad with the other criteria? Without stating all essential criteria the selection process is unfair for several reasons. From a common sense perspective, stating all criteria would have saved unqualified cadidates the time and effort of submitting a firtile application. Beyond this, omission of criteria raises questions about why unqualified candidates were encouraged to apply. The omission of selection criteria suggests that there was a preferred candidate with specific selection criteria and that inherently weaker competition was sought. Is this a fair competition? Theombudslxrson was planning to leave and had to select someone. Considering the short period of time between placing the ad (July 10th) and contract start date (August lst), and the context of a planned leave, that doesn’t leave much time to find and activate a replacement, Is a rushed selection process necessarily in the best interest of the university community? It is interesting that the applicants were requested to apply directly to the ombudsperson. Why was a replacement not hired through a university process that directly involved the key stakeholders? Doesn’t hiring your own replacement present a conflict of interest? The process for this temporary replacement also raises longer-term questions. If the oppommity arose for this contract to become permanent, is the university community to have an ombudspc~son

The GSA, UW, and FEDS all fund this position. Perhaps ‘there should be a review process to assessthe service we are supporting.

pornography To t&e Editm, I believe that legislation spec&ally directed towards pomography is not only unneccessary, it circumvents true justice. If I give someone money so that they can buy a gun to hold it to someone’s head to force another being to perform physcial acts which can be videotaped for my viewing pleasure, then I am an accessory to torture. Similarly, if I possess a videotape depicting real violence, then I am in possession of the proceeds of a crime. Whether or not pornography itselfis good or bad is irrelevant to the maintenance of freedom of all individuals. Copyright infringement and violence are already illegal. To be in possession of material which is evidence of abuse of a person’s copyright to their own image or of non-consensual anything being perpetrated upon another being is a crime. Ofcourse, buyers ofevidence of crimes may plead ignorance, correctly, This is not a legally defensible excuse for continuing to posses evidence ofcrimes. As with any other behaviour, discretion and self direction are required by individuals for the avoidance of participating in crimes. For example, ifsomeone in a parking lot on the back of a truck says “psst, hey buddy wanna buy a stereo real cheap?” it seemslikely that the stereo is evidence of theft and should not be bought. If a similar stereo is sold in a reputable store with attached labels and warranties indicating that its true owners are wiilfully participating in its sale, then buying it is a reasonable endeavour. Similarly, if I see assurance that people who are actors in pornography have contractually agreed to sell rights to certain numbers of representations of themselves in certain forms for an agreed price which has been paid, and that no coercion or duress or fraud has been perpetrated upon the people who are actors in pornography, then I may buy pornographic materials in good conscience, if not in good taste. In summary, to establish laws regulating the level of acceptance l

The Ring road parking nightmare To the B&w, I recently had a run-in with the parking posse here at Waterloo which may lx of interest to your letters section of the paper. I have long heard scurrilous tales of this department since arriving on campus in I984, but this was my first encounter. I recently voiced my complaints in a letter to the Director of Security. On a related topic, people have been parking in front of Needles Hall and getting tickets for it for as long as I can remember. In most of these cases, the visit only lasts long enough to drop off or pick up some paperwork. Despite the zealous ticketing and towing, the number of cars parked in front appears to remain fairly constant. Surely some of the higher ups at the university might recognize ’ the

need for a few roadside parking spots here, say with a ten minute maximum stay? By cutting a little into the green space between Needles Hall and Modern Languages, Ring Road could easily be widened by one car width to accommodate some parallel parking. This can’t be the first time this idea has been suggested. Perhaps the revenue gained from the many infractions is too much of a cash cow to be passed up merely for the sake of greater trafk flow, better safety, and heightened convenience for the main users of this space.

Tu the B&w, I walked into the Campus Computer Store last week and I was alarmed to see that the store was selling Packard Bell computers. Packard Bell computers have continually been rated below average by many consumer magazines. Owners of these machines have given Packard Bell a dismal rating for se&e and reliability (see July’s issue ofPCmaz&e). Many owners are so dissatisfied that they have documented their problems ‘on the Internet (e.g., search Packard Bell). The evidence does not end here; Packard Bell was recently caught selling new computers that contained used parts (Toronto Star, Sept. 12th, 1996 page H4). The company is paying five million dollars to U.S. state and federal agencies for its dishonesty. Who knows if consumers in the U.S. and Canada will be reimbursed. I am disappointed that the computer store is promoting and selling Packard Bell products (including products from its recently acquired subsidies (e.g., Zenith computer products). Most students are strapped for time and money and are least able to remedy the hassles associated with poor quality products and service. I speak from experience.

WATERLOO PUBLIC NTEREST RESEARCH CROUP "ude&li~i~~*213 .

Disrespectfuland intolerant-moi? In the 11 months since I started this column I have been called many things, some complimentary, some not. For the most part I am glad to hear any feedback. Afrer all, living in seclusion down in the Imprint office, I cm never be sure that anyone is even reading ‘Who is John Gait?“. But over time, the desire to refute some of my critics builds up, and today I’m going to scratch that itch. I have been called disrespectful, particularly in regards to my statements on religion. Well, I can’t really plead innocent to that one, but I don’t see this disrespect as a bad thing. Why sbd I respect something I believe to be wrong? Should I respect the person who tells me 2 + 2 = 32 No. The argument I always face here is that religion deserves respectjuti bgcatiselots of people believe in it. To this I answer, so what? Why should I give a rat’s asshow many people believe in something) D&s this mean that I shodclfrnh out how many believers each religion has before I decide how much respect to give them? Does this mean that I shouldn’t respect something that has few believers? I should hardly need to state that many things we now commonly believe were once radical ideas (e.g. the world was round, slavery isn’t right, bathing was a good idea). There are plenty of views that are held by many people which do not deserve respect. Should I respect the practice of clitoridectomy? Lots of people believe in it. Should I

respect the ancient Chinese practice of binding a woman’s feet until her feet are permanently deformed? Millions of believed in ht. I have also been called intolerant. But again, so what? Other than the obvious rebuttal that whoever calls me intolerant is being intolerant of my intolerance, there are lots of things that don’t deserve to be tolerated, Should I tolerate Nazis? Should I tolerate the KKK? Should I tolerate religion? I don’t agree with the idealogies of any of &em.Btit, my intolerance doesn’t go further than slagging them in my column, if even that far. I do not set out to limit the rights or freedoms of anyone. The same cannot be said for the aforementioned groups. By far the most powerfid of these three groups is the Catholic church. If the Pope had his way, there would be no contraception, no abortions, no diirorce. He would limit my tieedom. I do not set out to stop anyone from going to church, or from doing anythin& so- long as it doesn’t interfere with the rights of another. I’ll make you a deal. You can believe what you want, and say what you want, and I’ll do the same. I do not ask for, n&= expect respect from anyone. Nor do I ask for tolerance. Hate away. That is your right* But fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), Imprint tolerates freedom of expression, as every campus newspaper should, So, for now at least, I am free to be intolerant and disrespectful. I, for one, am looking forwtid to it.

The inflation revolution Economists tend be hired guns, since anyone with an agenda can fmd an economist to support it when pressed hard enough. But recently, one economist in particular has been cited by parties on both the lefi and the right. Strange, but true. But frost, a bit of background. Conventional wisdom in Canada holds that near-zero inflation produces massive gains in productivity, real incomes, employment and economic growth. The argument runs that the costs of achieving zero inflation in the short-run through high interest rates and the resulting recessions, high unemployment, and increased burden on social services are fa outweighed bytheaforesaidgains.TheBankofCanadaoperatesonthis belief religously. Meanwhile, Canadians wait breathlessly for the miraculous gains to appear, In 7&e EC-&$ recently, there was an article written by Paul Krugman, an MIT economics professor, about rich countries’ obsession with price stability. He says that the current battle against inflation is counterproductive and that, in essence, while a lot of inflation is hard, too little inflation is also detrimental. More specifically, Krugman argues that when the inflation rate is low, reai wages (i.e. wages taking into account ir&tion) cannot adjust properly: Is a 2% wage increase in the face of 5% inflation the same thing as a 3% wqe cut in the face of stable prices? To the hyper-rational workers, it might be; but common sense suggests that in practice there is a big psycholo&al dif5erence between a wage rise that f&i.ls to keep pace with inflation and an explicit wage reduction+ -- The Economist, A++ 31& 1996, p. 22.

Krugman says that this pscychological barrier prevents real wages ‘f?om falling in industries where this adjustment is needed over the long term; this rigidity means increased long-term unemployment. He advocates an inflation rate in the three to four per cent range, which he says would aHow growth while still staying safely away from the perils of runaway inflation, In doing so, he cited the work of Pierre For-tin, a Canadian economist, as proof that wages were not being allowed to adjust in a zzzro-inflation environment (Fortin’s work shows that almost half of Canada’s recent collective bargaining agreements involved wage freezes). He also singled out Canada as an example of the battle against inflation being taken to extremes at the expense of jobs and growth. Wow.

Sloth and selfishness ’ A professor provides her insight into. student behaviour

ast semester the Humanities Research Group hosted a sociologist from York University. During a faculty colloquium on the fitture of the university, she told us that her students have started to treat the classroom like a mall: they vvander in whenever they want, and if they don’t like what’s being offered they just walk out again. Everyone laughed, and started to swap anecdotes of student misbehaviour during lectures: arriving late and leaving early, reading newspapers, eating, talking to their neighbours, and generally showing a lack of respect for their professors and their fellow students. Unacceptable student behaviour seems to be growing more, not less, commonduringaneraoftuitionhikes. So much for the idea that if students have to pay more for their education, they’ll ‘value it more highly.

strange since I have never been on a co-op term as of yet. I then proceeded to line up for about 10 minutes to discover that the computer saysI have voluntarily withdrawn from co-op. At this point in space and time I start to wonder whether I am in a rejected Twilight Zone episode because I do not remember doing anything of the sort, especially voluntarily. Now you may be thinking “Chill out pal, it’s just a little bit of incovenience.” Not SO, my hasty reader. To fix this problem I have to have an interview with a co-op coordinator, and this can not happen until 9:15 Friday (it is now 3:OO Wednesday), which means that I am unable to apply to first rounds and maybe even second. so to sum things up, I am going to miss the opportunity to appiy to a couple hundred jobs, because of the inefficiency of the co-op bureaucracy. I was not guaranteed a job this term in the first place because this is my first work term. But now that probability has just decreased even more. If I do not get a job this term I will not be able to go to school next term, so I hope that the co-op system will accept my sincere thanks for possibly jeopardizing my future.

They pay as much for the course as everyone else; why shouldn’t they be given the opportunity to get their money% worth? I have found that after I make a point of demanding respect in the classroom, both for myself and for the other students, a kind of group dynamic takes hold. Students who violate the rules are taken to task by their fellow students, not just by me. I think students respect a professor who takes them seriously, and most of them respond well tohigher standards of behaviour. If all of us took the trouble to set ground ruies at the beginning of classes,and if we set an example by following the rules ourselves, we could go a long way toward creating a better environment for learning. - Dr. Hather

To the l3ditor, Re: The road from serfdom @shish Mishra). I thoroughly enjoyed this article, since it captures the essence of one of society’s greatest problems - obtaining freedom. . I wonder how many students are here because they truly want to be, and how many are just plodding along a predictable course. I think that many students are here simply because it is what is expected of them: do well in high school, go to university, get a degree, get a good job.... Is that really what life is about? What each individual needs to ask himself/herself is what he/she ultimately wants to do with his/her life. I have asked myself that, and the answer I got is nothing short of amazing. I used to feel like I was just an insignificant speck, going through the motions and not having any real effect on the world. 1t seemedtike my life didn’t have any purpose. This year, however, I have found meaning in my life through Jesus Christ. Now I am truly free.

In fact, the team’s practices this week probably resembled those that follow an embarrassing loss. “I feel right now like we got beat,” Dave “Tuffjr” Knight admitted moments after Waterloo held on to defeat the Guelph Gryphons 23-17 to collect the team’s second win in as many games and inch up to frti in the national rankings. “We made some big mistakes and we didn’t run the fmtball.

The Gryphon defence wreaked havoc with a Warrior offensive line that lost starting centre Zsolt Jonas in the first quarter, limiting Waterloo to just 46 net yards rushing and forcing six turnovers. But the Warrior defence and quarterback Ryan Wilkinson picked up the slack, making just enough big plays to overwhelm the overachieving Gryphons. Wilkinson threw for 281 yards on 12-of-23 passing and a touchdown, and ran 8 yards for another major, but also tossed three picks against an aggressive Gryphon defence. Waterloo’s defence gave up some big pass plays, but the pass rush disturbed quarterbacks Wally Gabler and Nathan Bodv ail dav.

Wilkinson put Waterloo up 21-7 in the third quarter, but the run sputtered again soon afterward. Guelph’s success at shutting down Waterloo’s vaunted ground game can be summarized by one play early in the fourth quarter. The Warriors led 2 I%, and Wilkinson had just connected with Amey for a 67-yard catch-andrun down to the Guelph $-yard line. Twoxuns gamed just three yards, but Waterloo still had 3rdand-goal at the one. In came Jason Van Geel, UW’s short-yardage third back, to help put the game away. Automatic, right? Eddie Kim got the handoff but saw nothing inside, bounced outside, and then bailedout, pitching back to the sweeping Wilkinson, who was tackled back at the six. Tumedover on downs. That’s something

A’s win! A’s win! by Raelene Driscd special to Imprint

145 Columbia St., W., Unit 9 725-2640

he Soccer Athenas employed a secret formula last weekend that could very well translate into a playoff berth in 1996. After a winless ‘95 campaign and a season-opening 7-O stinker in Han-&on against McMaster, the Black and Gold Brigade returned Saturday to the friendly confines of Columbia Lake to draw Guelph 1- 1, and then headed to Windsor Sunday to boil the Lancers 2- 1. The A’s secret formula equated into the most successful weekend of Waterloo soccer in recent memory. First, the Athenas used their heads. Then, they used Kim Rau and her set-up artist, Heather Moyse. In Saturdafs tie, the rainy conditions at Columbia Lake were better suited for “T&y” Knight’s footbalfers, but the Athenas were up to the challenge. Defending against the wind in the frrst half, the A’s dominated the Gryphs in the opening ten minutes. Strategically, the Guelph midfielders sent their strikers through the centre of the field to test Waterloo keeper Nicole Wight. A lone Guelph striker launched a dangerous shot high towards the centre of the net. The responsive Wight leapt high to deflect the ball over the crossbar, the first of two identical, equally brilliant first halfsaves by the veteran goalie. From the ensuing corner kick, a panicked scramble in the Waterloo six-yard box saw a crazy deflection off a Guelph player open the scoring. In the second half, the Athenas, visibly determined to redeem themselves, went on the offensive in hopes of squaring the match. Three consecutive crosses in front of the Guelph net left the Gryphs shaking in their cleats. Though time was not on their side, the Athenas continued their campaign, pressuring the Guelph backline. This tactic proved fruitful on the 85minute mark, when a brilliant cross from A’s rookie Heather Moyse found veteran Sandi Dargel at the top of the Guelph six-yard box. The deci-

siveness of Dargel’s poignant header knotted the match at one apiece, and lef? the Waterloo fans with no doubt that the Athena strikers have their heads in the game. On Sunday, the Athenas made the dreaded, long road trip to Windsor for an afternoon start against the Lady Lancers. Fresh from their first point of the season, the newly aggressive Athenas attacked from the opening whistle. Despite maintaining possession for nearly twenty minutes, the Athenas could not score first. A Lancer midfielder crossed the ball from an indirect kick beyond the 1&yard box to the top of the penalty spot, which was converted into a goal. However, the Athenas could not be suppressed. A series of retaliating attacks from the lefi wing incited the Windsor midfield to beg the referee for mercy. A yellow card booking for dissent reminded the Lancers that soccer is a game played with feet, not mouths. At half, though the momentum was all Waterloo, the score remained one-nil. The pep talk from A’s coach Bruce Rodrigues reminded the footballers to be patient, it was simply a matter of time before the ball went into the Windsor net. With that in mind, the Athenas returned to the field and cranked up the pace even higher than in

the first half. Hard tackling from stopper Michelle “Alanis” Girodat incensed the Lancer midfielders once again to respond. Unfortunately for them, the rebuttal was an abusive verbal response. The Athenas, darlings of the West Conference, paid no heed to the heckling Wiidsor supporters, nor to the countdown of the clock. Weaving the ball down the right side of the field to rookie winger Heather Moyse proved to be a formidable call, as she spotted and fed goalhungry striker Kim Rau on the six-yard box. One touch was all Rau needed to put the ball into the net. One goal for Rau and one assist for Moyse wasn’t enough. Eight minutes later, on the 83minute mark, another Moyse cross from the right side found Rau on the penalty spot. The splendid striker dribbled, composed herself, and calmly passed the ball into the welcoming lower right corner past the panicked Windsor netminder . The 2-l Athena victory was assured by nimble Athena goalkeeper Nicole Wight, who proved to be the proud owner of the 18yard box. Come see the soccer Athena in action this weekend against cross-town rival Laurier at Bechtel Park tomorrow and Sunday, against Brock at Columbia Lake. Both games start at 1 p.m. sharp.

n these times of budget cutbacks on the provincial and university level, university athletics departments have to dig up whatever money they can to keep their programs alive. So would it make sense to take on a project that will cost extra money while serving no real end purpose? Apparently the OUAA and OWIAA think so. For the 19% 97 season, the OUAA and OWIAA have granted playing privileges to four Quebec schools (Bishops, Cuncordia, Laval, and McGill). These schools will play an interlocking schedule with the respective East divisions of the two associations. The move is supposed to give more games with more variety to all the teams involved.

This on its own isn’t so bad, except that after the regular season, even though all games count in the standings, the four Quebec teams will separate (pun not intended) and play off with their regular post-season format. Basically, it will be like the regular season never happened. So I ask : Exactly what purpose does this whole system serve? The extra expenditures that will be incurred (especially by the three Toronto schools) will put a strain on those schools’ athletic budgets. These expenditures could be justified if the games were contests between divisional rivals. However, once the games are aU played and playoff time rolls around, we’re back to square one and the whole thing is moot.

These four teams should either receive real playing privileges and bring their berth in the national championships with them to the OUAA and OVVIAA to make it worthwhile, or go back to Quebec and toil amongst themselves.Seven schools in the OUAA and OWIAA East is enough to have a good, competitive division and no new teams are needed. At least not at this expense and not for this iittle in return. The Ontario powers-that-be who approved this move should be more concerned with taking care of our own province first before accepting new schools into useless agreements like these. The agreement is on a oneyear trial basis. Let’s hope this trial ends soon.

Warriors fall

Scruin City

to o-3

The stripe-shirted Warriors battled gamely against a strong McMaster squad, but citme out on the short end of a excruciatingly tight 12-11 decision Saturday on the Columbia Lake pitch. The Waterloo effort was a far cry fiwm their season-opening 40-Oshellacking at the hands of Queen’s last Wednesday. photo

Last weekend, the Warrior soccer team suffked two embarassing losses, 3-O to GueIph and 10-l to Windsor. The team is now in the OUAA West basement at O-3.The Warriors hope fm a drastic turn-around this weekend when they encounter Lauder on Saturday and host Brock on Sunday.

Canadian hockey crumbles by Ryan “Pucks” pyette Imprint staff

eil, the inevitable happened. Maybe it happened a few years before we were prepared for it to happen, but it did indeed happen. we lost. Saturday night in Montreal, the United States hockey team rallied to score four goals in the foal half of the third period to defeat Team Canada 5-2. Despite being disgustingly outplayed, the US, showed uncharacteristic heart and battled back to crush the mighty Maple Leaf. Hats off to the Excited States of America, the (omigod, it hurts the kidneys tosay this) newly-crowned hockey power of the Universe. No ha& off to the Canadians, though. In fact, if you are a Canadian citizen, jam those hats fumly on your head, preferably over your face, covering your eyes. Especially ifthere is an American in the

rmm. You see, Americans don’t really care they won the World Cup. On CNN, college football and the Yankee-Oriole pennant race preceded the World Cup report on Saturday night, the night hockey supremacychangedhands. The Stars-and-Stripers just learned something about us. They learned we care a-hell of a lot more about hockey than they do. They just happen to be better at it than us right now. Thathurts. . Another reason we should be embarrassed to be Canadians is the home-grown reaction to the loss. We are proving to be savages. Mer Don Cherry urged us to respect the Americans, the Forum crowd booed the Star Spangled Banner and Brett “Benedict Arnold” Hull every time he touched the puck. Usually, this is an acceptable practice if you are assured of winning. This time, though, we weren’t. And we didn’t. Egg on the face. Pull that

hat over your face. Feel shame, Another sore spot is the reaction of the hypocritical press, who have already reassured the Canadian public that the loss was no big deal . “Let’s congratulate the Americans. They had a strong team. We played well, but it wasn’t our tournament. The sun will come up tomorrow. We’ll get them in the Olympics. The World Cup isn’t that important.” No, it isn’t. That’s why Canadian rearguard Scott Stevens explained to reporters before the game, This is big. It (the celebration) will be like the World Series if we win.” That’s why American forward Doug Weight discussed before the game, c’Every professional hockey player knows what pressure is. However, Canada has millions of people tuning in to this game. That’s a pressure we don’t have to face.” No, this wasn’t a big tournament at all. In fact, it meant peanuts. That’s why every Canadian newscaster across the

One, looked as if he was skating up a sixty-percent grade. Number Ninety-Nine still has his uncanny playmaking ability, but he is simply too slow, too old, too banged up f+om ancient injuries to be of any use. For God sakes, he missed an open net that would have tied the game in the foal minute, That’s not Gretzky-like. That’s Mark Osboume-like. In reality, Team Canada played this tournament on reputation, not on substance. They were treated as such on Wednesday, naming no team members to the World Cup AU-Star team. The six seIections consisted of Americans and Swedes. That hurts. Perhaps it% time for a changing of the guard. Grew, Coffey, Messier and Co. should relinquish their reigns on Canadian hockey to Lindros, Jovanovski, a.ndDaz The decision to dO this may play a role in the 1998 Nagano OIympits. With the creaky ex-Oilers in the lineup, Canada may not even secure a medal of any kind. Then, the shame ofthe World Cup really will be small potatoes compared to the shame of those Olympic Games.

counts remreed the dreaded outcome & ifAtickey Mouse had just died. In Canada, the hockey game was the lead news story, not just lead sports story. Utiortunately, it takes more than interest, passion, and love of the game to win the inaugural World Cup. It takes hockey players who want to play. Players who can rise above their game to the level where GodHirnseK(letaloneMikeRichter) would have trouble shutting them out. The principal excuse trumpeted by Canadian scribes is we were missing talented names in our line-up: Kariyq Lemiew Bourque, MacInnis. The bottom line is we put our best ava&ble roster on the ice, they put out theirs, and they beat us. In previous years, we were missing key players and still had the heart and determination to win, Now, it seems we need the perfect chemistry of players to win. That% bullshit. Beyond all the token excuses, we must still address why we lost. The reason is simple. Many of the players Glen Sather picked for Team Canadashouldn’t have been there. Wayne Gretzky, the Great

a bitchin’ solo, it’s the big hit. But never ones to be predictable (they admitted that they changed their set list just before they went on stage, so they can’t even predict

themselves), Pluto kept everyone on their toes. Defying predictions that they showwouldbedullonthegrounds that Pluto is limited to the one

Nonetheless, a few hundred people turned out to see the four guys from Vancouver play - _ some rock. Canada scored, and Pluto came on stage to a chant of “Canada, Canada.” Opening with C73aste,nthe first single off their self-titled debut album, the crowd rushed down to the floor, and a small knot of moshing began immediately. Pluto writes ‘some catchy songs, and lead guitar/singer Ian Jones doesn’t try to deny it. mere’s a pop song for you,” he said before launching into “Black lipstick.” Though the show was solid, Pluto was actually a little more subdued than they were when I saw them at Edenfest. Maybe it’s because they’ve been on the road for over a year. Maybe because at Edenfest their time got axed down to about 20 minutes instead of 45 and they had to cram in their songs. We’ll never know. “Regenerate” was next, and it kicked., It was followed by “Locked ‘n’ Loaded.” And then the smash hit “When she was happy.” The second single off the I album, I thought they would have saved this for ht., It’s fast, it’s got

ontreal’s Doughboys took to the stage Saturday night in support of their newest release, the suc-

cessfd Tam Me 012. Lead by vocalist John Kastner, the band belted out a ninety minute set of new material as well as tunes from their 1993 release, C&7. Highlights of the show included “I Never Liked You,““My Favourite Martian,” and their most successful song to date, Y&ine.” As easy as it is to perform powerchord pop, the Doughboys do their craft well. The band’s display of inexhaustible energy, silky-smoothharmonies and overall tightness demonstrated strong musicianship. During their turn on stage, the Doughboys demonstrated remarkable stage presence. Despite the show’s low attendance, a respectably-sized mosh pit formed early in the set. A pocketful of energetic teens and the band’s pogo theatrics combined quite nicely to form a mass of bobbing heads and surfing bodies. Although the performance was above average, the recent departure of former lead guitarist Jonathan Cummins definitely seems to have left slight scars on the band’s performance. Wiz, the Doughboys’ brand new guitarist and talented songwriter seemed to be right at home with the newer material, but more than a little uncomfortable playing the leads to some of the older material, like “Neighborhood Villain.” However, judging from the reaction of the crowd, I can safely say this did not seem to detract from the impact of the performance.

album, the guys threw in a song from a 7’ released on Mint records called, according to Jones, ccA million and two,” and later on a new song called “52 pick-up.” The super-catchy “uncoia” came next, after Jones asked for requests from the audience. Some guy up front, obviously a longtime fm, asked for a song that Jones admitted they hadn’t played in a year and a half, and Bassist John Ounpuu flatly stated that he couldn’t remember. But they gave it a go anyway. Man, it’s nice to see a band not take themselves too seriously. It was a good song, too. Before closing with “Failure,” Jones told the mosh pit that this was the last one, so %ock real hard, You guys have been great.” And rock they did. The next mega-stars of the 90’s? No. But for a solid show of some of the best pop-rock in ages, Pluto is the band to see. In a field swamped by every goddamn garage band with a bit of cash and some friends, Pluto stands out as a band which can write good songs md have some fim. Next time they come to town, I’m there.

sey on stage. Pm sure this had more to do with crowd-pleasing than it did with Smith supporting the lowly Leafs. The frost notes of ‘cFascination Street” had the crowd on its feet. At this point the light show erupted into a stunning array of

blue and green which distracted people from the less-than-animated group on stage. They continued on into “Lullaby” sounding very well rehearsed. Most of the songs performed were selected from the most recent three albums, which they really seem to enjoy bringing to the stage. The one song which disappointed fans was the popular “Lovesong,” petiormed too flat to be recognizable until the lyrics began. I was particularly impressed by the way that all the songs were performed without verbal communication

band members. Everything fit together like a puzzle with no gaps in between. What makes

this incredible is that both the clrummcr and the second guitarist are relative newcomers to The Cure, Some of the most entertaining songs to see live were ?Ihe Kiss,” KBare,” ??rayers for Rain” (ahard-hittingextendedversion), and “In Between Days.” Af%er completing their set with “Disintegration,” they came back out to play another six or seven songs over two encores.

HalEax On Music Ha&&x, Abva Scotits September 13-15 by Patrick W-s Imprint; &.afF

Iim-odwtiun

riday the 13th of September was not a good day to be in Hal&x.. The Mayor had handed over the keys to the city to Garth Brooks, the deceptively-named Oasis bar was featuring a Hootie and the Blowfish tribute, and Hurricane Hortense was threatened to drop 6Umm of rain on the town by Sunday. Apart from tourist traps, Halifax has only three businesses: those that sell books, those tit sell food (mainly donairs, pizza, and pizza donairs), and those that sell music. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I spent over thirty hours in the latter, at the first annual Halifax on Music festival.

The shows started disappointingly at 6 p.m. Friday, at the allages Cafi! 016 (the bars in Halif= don’t close und 3 a.m., but the under-N’s were all home by eleven). The underagers were given a menu consisting almost entirely of local bands, and the first couple bands were rather unimpressive Haligonian grungepopsters. The Thursday Toads got no points for styie or originality, and their attempt at a Superfriend falsetto failed miserably. Cleveknd Steamer were noisier and more interesting, but I was stU waiting for the Nirvana covers,Ma&atwere even noisier and even more interesting, and although the vocals were still pretty bad, I could almost b&eve it was the fault of the PA This was to be proven untrue as soon as theSuperfkiend2 took the stage. The most beloved of any band I know stuck through technical problems that would have destroyed a less experienced group for a melodic tour de force that at the moment seemed the most incredible indie show I’d ever seen. But the weekend was not yet over; it seemed that every band was infected with the good spirits of the festival. Cool Blue Hal& first song (Yhine Too Hard,” unreleased) left me spellbound. The band is asnon-guttural as the phonemesinitsname,andattimes onlyonestep awayfromtheanathema of adult contemporary pop. By some twist of fate, they could become the next AM radio hit, and then the snobbish Indie Reviewers Clique of Canada would be forced to hate them. Thank God for the squirt of pH 1 lemon in the sugar water, because as T stood watching Cool Blue Halo, I could& imagine anything betteq Except maybe Tristan Psionic. Hamilton’s kings of indk (Unyon, anyone?) started with a dazzling out-of-body instrumental, and I fmally understood them.

Tristan are one of those rare bands that are more than the sum of their songs, more than four people playing guitars, bass and drums;thebandisaunifiedsound in itself contained. Thrush Hermit kicked out a jam or two as an extended rif5ng on Springsteen’s “Darlington

duo Dusty Sorbet (more expansive than the’ instrumentation might suggest), ~JI hour of broken-hearted country songs from SupeAiendz drummer Lotie James, and loud, fast, surf instrument& from the Urban Surf Kings. Theyk nothing the world hasn’t heard before, but if

Just when things didn’t seem Like they couldn’t get any better, they didn’t. Respect for Mark Robinson’s experience at Teen Beat Records, Unrest and Air Miami ied the HOM committee to schedule him last; common sense would have placed his guitar-and-beatbox show as an opener. The staid show was a sudden and sharp anticlimax after Thrush Hermit’s ultimate rack moves; O+npic Death Squad3 headlining appearance left the Birdland crowd half asleep. I like Air Miami, but there’s only so many one-rfisongs that the mind can bear. Rescue us from boredom...

the Urban SurfKings last longer than the Heatseakers, they could take Canada’s ins~entalcrown. AEter a bit o’ schmoozing at an invitation-only “off-thewagon,” party down the street (where I found out that Keith’s is as great they say), I walked through the pouring rain to C& 016 for the night’s all-ages show. Absolutely Nothing is the sideproject of Plumtree’s Gi.llis sisters, but the punk trio wasn’t as tight nor as diverse as the fourpiece. The mashing crowd (one very good reason for age segregation) couldn’t have cared less who was on stage. They kept banging bodies through Trike (more female-fronted punknothing special, but album tracks like”Rocket”were appealing) and Super--the sole PEF band at the festival, and the second-best punk show after Chixdiggit. Their maturity should bring greatness. Apparently the Inbreds had been scheduled, but a freak canopener accident left them unable to play,Men of Steelwere substituted. Despite an unfortunate wearing of their influences on their shirts (The lead singer likes Milencoln? You don’t say.. .), not being able to speak much English, and having to fight the insolence of a crowd already calling

IMPRINT,

for the headlining act, Men of Steel were tight enough to impress. Not only hadThe Chitz been fortunate enough to get their picture on the front page of local entertainment rag 7-28 Cu& that week, but they had a large and vocal fanbase. They deserve every bit, but I was only able to catch a few songs before I had to cross town to the Birdland for the night’s 19+ shows. Sometime in the preceeding three paragraphs, the hurricane had struck. Across the harbour, Dartmouth was experiencing blackouts. Along the coast, trees were ripped out by the roots. On Brunswick Street, a completely drenched yet still dashingly handsomeImprht reporter was being slammed against a brick wall by a bastard named Hortense. I now join the ranks of the obsessed by being able to say that I fought a hurrictie to see Sloan Not only Sloan, of course. I caught a few songs by the Scud Mountain Boys, and a few more from the Push Kings, but I must admit that I wasn’t paying full attention. Two bands came all the way from Massachusetts for the show, and all I could thinkabout is changing my socks... The Scud Mountain Boys sure were purdy, though-that’s p-u-r-d-y, with an extra-long drawl on the “u,” and the next CD I buy could very well be theirs.

and got kicked out, Chris Murphy swore frequently because CBC was airingthe show, and the band ran through a dozen songs, mostly from OCTA. They encored with Morrisey% Vhat Difference Does It Make” and cca song from Smeared that isn’t ‘Underwhelmed”‘-a reworked “‘Marcus Said.” Sloan are more powerful than any damn hurricane, and by 3 a.m., the storm was over.

Even though Sloan came halfway through the festival, the best surprises were saved until Sunday. At the Comix Jam, white boy rapper Stinkin’ Rich told some tales in approximately-even meter and rhyme, accompanied by his ftithful DAT machine. He’s not much of a showman, but Stinkin’ Rich never really claimed to be. Al Tuck was rather nervous, and mentioned several times that he’d had no practice, but won over the crowd anyway. Starting out with a of couple covers that showed his command of &musical language, Tuck moved into originals for an all-too-brief time, t&k to the crowd, taking requests, and generally being a nice WY* Everything was dry skies for the rest of the weekend, rather fortunate considering the hundreds of people who showed up for the a&ages fmale.

Jones course!” Total attitude, total sexuality, and total ti rock mayhem. I can’t believe I had tu go to Halifax to discover these guys* Plumtree appeared almost scared to follow, but only their cuteness could have counteracted Jones’ raw attitude. Like most of the local acts, they raced through a standard but note-perfect set. Murderecords signeesThe Local Rabbits came on to show exactly what makes The Local Rabbits SO damn fun: they’re everything bad in music, made good. The Fonz haircuts! The d rummets disco beats! The unbelievable cock rock star imitations! Terrible covers! The Local Rabbits synthesize and extract cheeze from the rancid milk of the 1980s. I’m not a huge fan of their actual songs, but the Rabbits subtly subvert themselves and gently poke fLn at our expectations of modern music. And really: is there any falsetto more annoying than that of the jerk fern the Smashing Pumpkins’? With such a buildup, Matis Pigott was a downer. She came all the way to SeattIe only to have her asskicked by a bunch of Halifax bands, Maybe I just don’t understand American music. But Elevator to Hell I can live with: waves ofcontrolled feedback, long descending note patterns, all the live power ofEric’s Trip with a bit more hair. They’re opening for Sloan on this week’s Ontario tour; show up early. Finally (not really, but officia), Chidiggit! The Calgary band is Sub Pop’s latest Canadian signee, and, besides the Bonaduces, the best pop punkers in Canada. Covers of George Michael and Billy Joel, lots of interaction with the audience, and an entire set performed while doing the splits (before every show they lower the microphones to four feet off the stage). One of the most exciting live acts I’ve seen in a long time, they’re touring the USA right now, and when they come back, catch them before they explode. It won’t be the same in a stadium. The off&l shows were over, but word was quickly spread of an open-mike night at the Birdland. And in Ha&z, when there’s an open mike, you never know who will show up. The Tim Robbins Experience hosted the first hour; TRE is Thrush Hermit minus Lonnie James and plus a pile of uppers, playing crazy, rule-breaking rock ‘n’ roll. The Barenaked Ladies’ Stephen Page came up for a song; so did Lil’ Orton Hoggett (a.k.a.MattfromtheSupe&iendz in a cowboy hat), Catriona from Plumtree, Pete from the Local Rabbits, and Sloaner Chris Murphy-singingAC/IX. Inone hour, on one stage, more Canadian talent than most people are aware of. In the end, that’s what Halifax is about: a handfLl of record labels, i dozen really good bands, and a sense of comnunity that far outdoes anything the Ontario music scene has yet to offer.

azz of a bygone era is being brought to a new generation thanks to Liberty Silver. It’s certainly nice to see the response we’re getting at the shows,” explained Silver. “But I think it has more to do with the timelessness of the music than me personidly.” Silver is referring to her treatment of jazz standards made famous by legends including Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald. Her fine perfbrmances have caused her to ion, call Natasha @? gain quite a following in Toronto jazz circles. (519)885-3846 or the Liberty Silver’s career began as a backRadio station @ ground singer in local R ‘n’ B bands. From (519)885-0354orcruise there she became a solo performer playing ion rring on the Toronto club scene. Over the years she has worked R ‘n’ B, reggae, and pop into her repertoire opening for such acts as B.B. Ring, Rita Marley, The Temptations, Harry Belafonte, and Natalie Cole. Along the way Silver has garnered numerous awards including two Junos and the 1993 >on- Jazz Report Female Vocalist of the Year. She recently performed on the CBC sored bv BMO Music Olympic sendoff special ‘The Best You and University of WaterCan Be” honoring Canadian Olympians. loo Radio Station, CKMS.

Fans of jazz music will also recognize King’s name as co-publisher of The Jazz Report, a magazine highlighting current trends in jazz, and as a co-founder of Radioland, a Toronto based jazz label distributed through jazz giant Verve. King and Silver met over eight years i ago md have recorded numerous times together, most recently on the Live! In Session album. Their live peffoffnances capture the me essence of jazz in their intensity and virtuosic performances, highlighted by Silver’s five-and-a-half octave vocal range.

by Gilkn Dowries Imprint staff Don’t get me wrong - Mary Anne Epp has been involved in the local music industry for years, as a singer, a songwriter, and a

by Dave Fisher special to Imprint Two new releases with a lot in common.. . Come’s latest and third album Near Life Exptince follows a turbulent little period in the Boston band’s existence following the departure of the impeccable rhythm section ofArthur Johnson and Sean O’Brien for pastures unknown. Fortunately the chief songwriting partnership of Thalia Zedek and Chris Brokaw has remained intact so the quality one came to expect from their stellar previous releases ElmmEhm amiLh&Ask DO& Tell is still evident and the band’s oeuvre is as good as ever. Zedek coughs, barks and rasps her way through her haunting blues and Brokaw even contributes a pair of songs where he takes the lead vocal. While his voice isn’t up to the intensity and strength of Zedek’s, both his takes are on otherwise terrific songs with sheer rhythm and atmospheric rumble winning them over. Nevertheless, it’s the material that Zedek handies that is the most impressive

performer. So one would think that her tit release would be the same sti that has perhaps been regurgitated in K-W for veak. Since I am unfamil&vith her previous work, I can not elaborate any further on this particular subject. What I can say is this: I’m not a huge fan of anything that remotely resembles country music, but to me, Mary Anne Epp is a new name and a new artist. I can also say that this release is somewhat of a surprise . I mean, let’s face ii: Kitchener-Waterloo is not, has never been, and will probably never be regarded as the hub of the music industry. Still, once in a while it produces an artist (or artists) that has the ability to impress. Epp is such an artist. Though I am sure that E~p’s first release will be widely ar:cel;ted by local communities, there is no doubt in my mind that it will get lost among the Shanias, the Garths, the Travis, etc. Still, Epp’s latest release 1% All Right Now, deserves a mention, since it lends a different sound to the too oftcoined phrase: “country music? As for Epp’s latest release, it

leads off with a great acoustical song that cllrn be regarded as cowmy. However, given greater thought, I believe that Epp’s %ound” can be regarded as a mix of country and something I believe only Epp can describe. Her voice, coupled with her brand of country music, has the ability to stir emotions. When listening to 15-1~ All Right Now, one must keep in mind the lyrics behind every song. Somehow, I cannot picture Epp ever writing a song about keeping her man in line. 1% All Right NOW is about Epp’s recovery from, as she states in the liner notes, ‘&every kind of ‘holic’ you can be.” Still, 1% all f@bt nuw is not a fusion of depressing songs about her hardships and later successes. This album certain has the ability to make you think about a few things, but then, what album doesn’t? So, if you’re in the market for music that’s not quite country, not quite adult contemporary, not quite anything that I could describe, give Epp’s latest release a

and makes Come one of the best bands around. The song “Shoot Me First” (featuring the guest rhythm section of Sonora Pine) is a stunning work of pummeling beats and stinging guitar, and the gorgeous ‘Walk On’s” bestexemplifies what the band is, has been, and forever will be capable of. It’s saddening to have seen the rhythm section leave, but Zedek has long proven to be one of rock’s truly great survivors, and she proves herself yet again with another truly great record. The former Dream Syndicate

release, however, has more to do with the other personnel on the album; specifically, Come prior to the departure of Johnson and O’Brien. For Come die-ha&, this album is a must-have, offering as it does a final document of the complete original line-up. Like Come, Wynn’s record moves (unsurprisingly) through the world of the new (white) underground blues. Unlike Come though, Wynn’s blues aren’t painted in nearly quite as dark shades or tones, often opening themselves up to Wynn’s more traditional and even pop-oriented treatment. “TheAngels,“for instance, sounds like a Lou ReedTYu@!mpiece, with Zedek providing uncharacteristic sing-songy back-up vocals. Naturally, having stated my biases up front, the material I like best on the album is that which becomes well and truly staked as the property of Come, like 7Vhat We Call Love” and “Stare it Down,“bothbitingduosbetween Wynnand Zedek, and the accompanying signature Come attack of rumbling guitar and driving backbeat. Even better, on the charac- . teristically Come-titled The Way You Punish Me,” Zedek handles the lead vocals by herself. Give Wynn big time points for surrounding himself with a quality ensemble and writing appropriate material to best serve his stroke of good fortune. Naturally, I recommend the album as another winner, and a necessary purchase for any Come fan.

leader Steve Wynn’s new release isM&n#z tbtdhrk. I confess to really never having taken much no&e of Wynn’s career until I heard Luna’s cover of his ‘That’s What You Always Say,” an absolute scorcher of a song, so I’ve been slowly making my way through his back catalogue and getting more and more impressed. - My real interest in his new
