Purple Satan goes down Warriors record first victory over Mustangs in OUAA history
T
here's an old saying in fbotball: offence fills the seats, defence wins championships. If last Saturday's national top-ten showdown between the WberlooWarriors (number eight) and the Wcstrm Mustangs (number one) is any indication, the Warriors might just make a bid for the Vanier Cup this year. The Warriors used great punting and a tough d&ce to upset the Mustangs 6-1in front of a sparse crowd on a beautifid day. It was the first time since the formation of the OUAA in 1971that the Warriors had defeated the Museangs. The game was not very exciting to watch, as both teams3 offences gained lots of yards, but struggled to put pitus on the board. It was a brilliant defensive srmggZc from bceinnulgto end, with the Wdori getting gen itge edge! by&-=$-. ranked Mustangs to one measly point, despite giving up 301 total yards on the day ForthcthirdsuaightWaclqtheWarrior ol%ncc had problems moving the ball apdputtingpointsontheboard.Wcstcrn wasdo'hgagoodjobstoppingthevauntcd Warrior running game.

n the last issue of Imprint, an article appeared that was critical of the pricing policy at Brubakers and the administration of Waterloo’s food services in general. Why is it, the article asked, that a carton of chocolate milk costs $1.44 at Brubakers and $1.17 in the rest of the civilized world? The same question can be asked about Brubaker’s prices for pizza, soft drinks, salads, and just about everything else. Why is it that Brubakers, or South Campus Hall and the Village I dining hall for that matter, can barely keep their prices competitive. The answers are not easily found. Just, to set the record straight, The University of Waterloo’s Department of Food Services is not a profit making venture. In fact, it operated at a slight loss last year. According to Bud Wilson, Waterloo’s Executive Director of Business Serv-. ices, “My own belief is, and I’ve got to sell this, if we make money in hod services, which we’re not, I think it should go back to the people who caused us to make that money. If we make money we should either give the money back to the studentsor lower faod prices.” So how is it that such high prices could yield no profits? It would seem that if Waterloo is not making any money from selling food then the only other explanation is inefficiency. According to Wilson “the contemporary style in the way people want to eat these days is really out of step with the facilities we have on campus such as the typical institution style cafeterias which we have in the Villages and South Campus Hall. So what the plan is, is to start preparing meals in the more contemporary style, which is the Brubakers style, where the food is prepared fresh in front of people, the quality of the fd is better, the cost of preparation is lower and so bn. The plan is to reduce the cost of food preparation, increase the number of people that are using food services and gradually realize some efficiencies ? -Wilson feels another area in which effkiencies can be gained is in the use of offcampus suppliers to provide more preprepared food. In his view, “the biggest thing that off-campus suppliers can provide is a lot more up to date and a lot more eficient processes because they have a f&ir amount of experience in running food operations? Since employee wag;s make up 37 percent of the Department of Food Services expenses, another way in which the university is planning to save money is through the hiring of more students. Currently 70 out of the 130 part-rime stafF are students who, because they do not usually stay long enough to reach the salary levels of U-time employees, make much less money. But greater efficiency will not necessarily mean lower prices. Although Food Services is operated by the university on a not for profit basis, Yhat entire mandate is under review and may change,” according
we getting what we pay for? to Mark Murdoch, the Director of Food Services. Murdoch would attribute the high prices of some items to the preferences of students. While students aren’t supposed to have much money, you wouldn’t know it from the way they go through name brands like Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice and Nantucket Nectar. c7lfe think that that’s what our customers have indicated they want. We can’t even keep enough Tropicana instock, so that)s what I think they want.” saysMurdoch. Perhaps the solution is for the university to stop providing its own meal services altogether. The student residences at Renison, St. Jerome’s and St. Paul’s Colleges contract their food services to Beaver F&ds and seem to provide their student’s
with much better valtie for their money. A student on a university meal plan, eating three meals a day, pays $2.99 for breakfast, $3.99 for lunch and $5.99 for dinner, for a total of thirteen dollars. If you were an associate member at St, Paul’s on a five day meal plan, however, (meaning that you can eat and hang out at the residence without actually living there) meals wouldonlycost you ten dollars a day. Since there are only 150 students in St, Paul’s axid 2 000 in the Villages, one would expect that economies of scale would enable the Universit); to provide meals more cheaply. Not only do church college residents save three dollars a day over their peers in continue

So tdlIlsalittlebitabuz& the jobs you bad at GMU&M Tire ad wb thy wodd ma& ~024 cap&& of thispotitiopr. Well at Canadian Tire I did financial reporting a lot of the time, some monthly reports and analysis. My title was an analyst so I think that applies very directly. In another previous co-op term, at the Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association of Canada, I did a lot of promotions for them. They were doing a series of seminars and I did all their mailouts and their brochures and stufflike that, so I’m quite interested in that part of it to. Then with the marketing agency, the marketing that I did was all different. Some of it was directed towards consumers, and some of it was doing Presentations to the heads of other companies. I also found that very interesting, but I’m not exactly sure how that will aPP*Y*
Well I’ve had 2 lot of experience outside of school, although my experience isn’t with the Feds 7 it’s with corporations. ?Vhyistbidasth9gtb? Well in the time that Pve been learning about the Feds there seems to be a lot of relationships that aren’t so good, the Bomber and the Feds don’t seem to have the best working relationship; I’m nut sure the cause ofthat. I don’t think that it’s the managers themselves but I think they could be working together better, and I thinkthatsomeonewhohadcome up within the Feds would maybe have a little too much respect for the on-going tensions within the Feds right now.
My learning curve may be longer than someone else, but I think that anytime you go for a new job, there’s going to be a leamingcurve.EspeciaUybecause this is a by-election, I’ll just have to work really hard to speed it up.
Well, the implemenmtionwill get started, but it probably cannot becompletedinsixmonths.Tha~s a big part of the transition. I plan to be here next summer for course work, so I think the transition will be easier that way.
outside group. cwdym d-0 it3 I could do it, as part of the job. I thought of going to the independent studies group and seeing ifa student could do it as a course, or even a student at Laurier, if I approached a prof there and got them to get some students together. the be qtive to tbat3 Having ma&t

of tLwmare tkmjidWme in a coqmatbn and they m&ht bavc a *h82 witr6 a stdht d&g es. Well, it would be something that would have to be discussed with them. l
I think that some of the problems aren’t even identied. For FedHail, Hayden’s got some good ideas up there. He’s really open to anything new and he’s got a lot of good ideas. I think that he just needs the go ahead for some of the things that he wants to do.
Well, that’s a big question now isn’t it? I would want to commit some fmance to Fed Hall., but there are a bunch of issues around it though that would have to be decided. I think as a group, between Hayden, the full time staff, Mario and everyone, such as whether or not to pursue any off campus business. He was telling me just last week that someone called in and wants to do a wedding next Septemtxr, and that’s $8,000 in guaranteed business or he could open it and hope for business, so we have to decide whether it’s going to condnue. I think they should. The students are sort of saying that they don’t really want Fed, like they want it but maybe nor in its cuxrent state. Ifit could be operated as a smaller bar - maybe the area around where the bar is operated now and around the front doorthat would make a similar area to the Bomber and it maybe could be operated at that size, because it takes so many people to fili it, at least 450 to be somewhat crowded.
tbetits. True, true. The students aren’t at this time generating enough business to keep it open so there has to be some kind of compromise, like either outside business, or, I would very strongly hesitate to say, higher fees.I just ruled that out, so something has to be done. $0 in g&l wbat do yu~ think3 Op-wdngitasasmderplace. Sume~-~~3 Yes, well partitions so concerts could still be done, the big things could still be done, but on a more regular basis. Sofirr Fd b~&~~es inpnend, are you pnpad to maks a de&h at s0me point and close tbe Fed bhaess w diswntimu service, andifyorcam wbmwmtd you sta* do you think? Well,no,Idon’tthinkIwould be prepared in this short rime to close any of the businesses. Areha~y~se?vhxsthat you wodd LiA?sto see3 _ I haven’t thought about that. No I don’t think at this time. Well I think most of it would have to do with Fed Hall. That I think is still the most important issue, and I think part of it would be operating it as a smaller bar. I don’t know how well that would go over - I know Hayden is big on that. When Fed was built it was built asa big bar; there wasn’t the competition.
Well thaes part of market research, part of it is that it only draws on the students. Things like the Lyric draw on us and our town and everyone else, &d Fed Hall is also, I think is important that they let in under-agers. And they’re not buying anything, they’re basically taking up space atthe bar. ’ Especially starting next year, when there is no more OAC, there is going to be a lot of under-agers. I don’t know how that is going to be addressed. 1 think that we should continue to allow them to come in. They are businesses, but they are also services. W&at hd ofjub would have tmamea@*ym to leave this pos;tih? Well, it would have to be some&g pretty special. I don’t know, maybe., I’d have to be a movie star. I don’t know, that would be qtite the thing. A leading role opposite Tom Cruise.

Imprint by Greg Krafhick Imprint stafr andidates for the position of Vice President, Admin istration and Finance locked horns Tuesday at a forum hosted by the Tmpri&. Candidates Jenn Devall and Tori Harris avoided any heated debate at this, the first public forum for the by-election candidates. They faced a panel composed of three staff members of Imprint, Chris McGrath, former candidate for the VPAF position, andpatrick BoydeU, acting assistant manager of Fed Hall. In general, the two candidates were quite non-confrontational with one another. They rarely disagreed on any Point, and when the panel offered the candidates the opportunity of asking each other a question, they both declined. At first, both of the candidates were somewhat evasive when asked about the Perrenially in the red Fed Hall Jenn Devall said that she %ould make a lot of guesses as to what the problem is at Fed Hall,” but ultimately wants to do more research into the problem. Tori Harris spoke hong similar lines of canvassing dents %sk them tvhy aren’t patronizing Fed?’ cL But the questions persisted about improving Fed’s fortunes, and the candidates both came up with some ideas. Harris supported “market research” to determine what students want at Fed Hall, and seemed to warm up to an idea suggested by McGrath of ‘acatnPus-wide referendum on the esiablishment. She also empha-

forum She too spoke of canvassing students to see what they w&t at Fed. Both candidates were asked why this election needs to happen. With the current exec surGiving the busiest time of year without a VPAF, and only six months left in their terms, why not just continue on without the Position, and save the money that would go towards a salary for a new exec? Neither candidate found this option an attractive one. Harris was carefid to praise the current exec for their work, but she said that their incretied workload has hampered their ability to take a “proactive approach” to their jobs. Devall added that Y don’t think they can keep this up.” “Market research” was a phrase wed very ofien during the &cussion. The question-was therefore asked how research could be done and action taken within six months, They were i&oaskedhowthisrxxa.&would be fmanced within the tight - Fed budget. Devd said that it could be done cheaply, either by allowing a student to do the research for course credit, finding a willing business student from WLU, or, as Devall said, KI could do it myself?’ Harris, alternately, appeared to place high importance on finding out what the students want for Fed Hall, to develop a long term planning strategy. The most light-hearted moment came with a question from theTurnkey Desk. The booming overhead P.A. came on during the audience question period, asking the candidates how they prefer to smbathor a full piece

really key in this position right now in terms of all the FEDS businesses and their revenue gencrating services. To get the word oug I’m good with-promotions channels, bf how to reach people, scholastically, as well through practical experience. Do you think that it is m&stic in t&&W time thatymi have, that you can shuty F~ftn-ances, Fed busi~ss, and cum tip whb a ph~amhh4a~Zyimp~tthut plan befure the tmm is zl.p.3 I think that for one VP to do that is unrealistic. The Federation, working collectively, can do that, and aspart of my research in preparing for forums, and for my campaign, I’ve talked to several business managers and sort of picked their brains. Who knows their businesses better than they do? Not very many People. And being able to see what their vision is of the Fed. I think in terms of implementing Plans it is a short turnaround to when the next exec runs, but getting the Federation fdl-time staff together, collectively, forming a strategic plan, like %here are Feds now?” we can look at that through numbers and patronage for the different businesses. Where do they want to be? That question hasn’t been investigated as aggressively as I think it should be. Where do they want to be in a vear? Where is it feasible to be 6 a year? I mean, part of the reason-Mark Ferrier won, in my opinion, is that in his platform hk tias pushing for a five year plan. I think it’s hportant thattheFedsbemorefuturethinking. When you look at the amount of money left in reserves, which is $150 000, you can’t be going by touch in te-m of busi&ss decisions. It can’t be made term by term, or by an executive’s term anymore. mere do the Feds want to be? Hottr can ym possibly cbaq.ge tl7at when yuahegut a mm txeclrthe every year3 That’s true, but the corporation is still there. And the corporation, on its own, has to have a vision. I think it has come to the point where Fed Hall needs to make some decisions, and students have to force the Federation of Students to make decisions of how impo&nt Fed Hall is to them? They have to stand up and make their voice heard. And the fact that exec come in every year, a new four people, shouldn’t alter drastically the ultimate vision for the Feds, in terms of how they plan to enhance student life while they’re here. I mean, there will be shifts every year, and different spending trends - differences every term, every four months, .not only every year. In terms of looking, taking a hard look at the mandate of the Federation of students, taking a look collectively at how the businesses tie running, and what those managers see for their stores. I think that goals and objectives have to be set, both long term and short term. And
those long termgoals aren’t carved in stone - but there has to be some forward thinking involved. But waifi, ymhe onlygoing to be them j6r half a tmm, and

I do. I’m quite confident that that’s realistic. And I thirrk that is so important. Every single business manager that I’ve spoken to has their own vision, and in some kind of team building environment they have to all step up and make some decisions. It can’t be, “yeah, we’ll should work more as a team, all collective, we can’t run asseparate entities anymore? OK, well you can’t. And so what is the plan to keep you guys alive? One business’ loss is everyone’s loss, and one business’ gain is evcryone’s gain, so you have to be sure that there are goals and objectks in line. Whether it’s four years or five years down the road, that has to be investigated. I am in favour of a referendum.Iaminfavouroffmdingout whatthe students want to do with Fed Hall. And that referendum isn’t a “do we get rid of it, do we keep it?” That referendum offers options in between, in terms of do we keep Fed Hall, or do we open Fed Hall solely for special events, Do we keep Fed Hall open for special events, and open Fed Hail up to outside business, like banquets, like weddings?
I don’t think they’re feasible. So if the mrrfjmiv of ptople said) %ar it dim?t/ tkn tht)s 9wt mdly an ~tiov.
Mark did a lot of aggressive budgeting with services. Services alltookalcn~thisyear.Itwillbe telltale in terms of Julie monitoring how many people are involved in programs, I mean, the PODS program could have been cut, but this year they generated so many, their membership has doubled, tripled, I think - it’s about 150 members in the PODS program, and that was something that was doing pitifully last year. I think sewices have to reviewed. There Jwe been significant changes to the revenue or the start-up money that services received this year, and that% something that hq to bemonitoredthisyear.

Defining youy sexualitv w

Give y0~1r parents a mid-life crisis.
Friday,
ay is, for some people, a day of special signif%ance. T” Many of you will be unaware that today is what’s known as Global Coming Out Day (CLOD). Today is the day when closeted gays, lesbians and bisexuals around the world are invited to take an axe to the proverbial closet door and hack it to irreparable bits. Or, if that’s too big a step, at least to peek out through the keyhole. Why the need for a Coming Out Day? GCOD was started years ago as a day for gays and lesbians who may have been leading a complex and frustrating double life, to cast aside some of their fear and come a little f&&r out of the closet; to be open and honest with the people-around them by divulging the fact that
out, self-acceptance, religion and homosexuality, homophobia, legal issues and more. To those of you who do not know what it’s like to be confronted with such a confusing task as defining your sexuality, I urge you to show your compassion and understanding for those who do. Everyone reading this does, I assure you, has a gay, lesbian or bisexual friend or family member. If you think you travel in circles that don’t include gays and lesbians, you’re simply wrong. There are gays and lesbians in every single faculty of UW as well as a good number of faculty and staff, so if you’re on the campus, this issue af5ect.syou and those around you. Today, and always, I urge you to examine your attitudes and biasesand consider whether you’re making this campus a hospitable environment for your fellow students or if you might do something more to help. Global Coming Out Day is
Everyone reading this has a gay, lesbian or bisexual friend or family member; they were gay. Since it was first celebrated on a large scale some six years ago, it has also become a day when those gays and lesbians who are out do something to help end the ignorance and intolerance that keeps others forcibly closeted. For those of you who may be struggling to define your sexuality and finding it difficult to explore the issue in the open, I assure you there is somewhere to turn. GLLOW is a service of the Feds and, as such, we’re dedicated to making UW a more hospitable environment in which to come out and explore issues of sexuality. We’re here to talk to and to provide information. We run a discussion group on issuesofsexualit): as well as a phoneline with operators who can help guide you toward understanding your sexuality. We also have a library of books you can access cor&entially in our off&, should, you wish to learn more about coming

intended as a day of amnesty. Ideally, it’s a day when all people recognize that gays and lesbians face special challenges and offer their support and tiirmation to help make sume of those challenges a little easier to bear. In order to mark Coming Out Day and to promote greater understanding and awareness of gay and lesbian issues, GLLOW is making a special effort to be visible this week. Today there will be a booth in the Student Life Centre showcasing some of GLLOWs resources and providing information about our group and about gay and lesbian issues in general. Tonight, we’ll be having a free movie night when we’ll be showing two videos: ‘Out, Stories oflesbian and Gay Youth’ and The Sum ofUs.’ We encourage all those of you who are interested, gay or straight, to come out and talk to us, to call our phoneline or to e-mail us. We’re here, we’re queer and we’re proud of it!

UW True Crime Food Services Waterloo Regional l-80@265-2222 their wallet or charge cards in general shoul&mm&zteb report them missing to avoid situations such as these. * On October 6 a unlocked room in the Renison residence was entered, and a wallet and the contents within were stolen. UW Police advise people to keep their rooms locked at all time to avoid such occurences. There are also UW Police posters in each residence that fixther detail how to avoid instances such as these. Two bikes were stolen in the past two weeks -one outside the Student Life Centre on September 28, and one between Engineering 2 and Physics October 4.
Theft of UW Property On September 28 a card reader terminal was stolen from behind the grillwork that closes the Tim Hortons in the Davis Centre. A UW Optometry van was stolen October 4, but was subsequently recovered before it was actually reported stolen. The van’s ignition column had been punched in.
Theft of Persod property On September 28 a vehicle on the Columbia Icefields was reported stolen, but the owner subsequently realized they had parked in another lot. No investigation was launched. On that same date a cellular phone wasstolen from a knapsack in the lobby of Hagey Hall. On September 30 a fU set of course notes was stolen from a locked locker on the third floor of Math and Computers. The roof of a convertible jeep in Lot K was stolen October 3. A car was broken into October 4 in the F lot. The side window was smashed and stereo equipment was taken. On October 5 a car parked in S lot was broken into in a similar fashion. A cell phone was stolen in the incident. That same day a wallet and its contents were reported stolen from a locked locker in the men’s locker room in the Physical Activities Complex. The wallet had actually gone missing on September 24, and the victim only reported it stolen when purchases of movies and video games mysteriously appeared on his charge card bill. UW Police would like to remind people that anyone losing
Mitschiefm PersonalPrope~ One or more people have been walking across cars on UW campus. Six separate incidents have been reported - one on the Math roadway and one on the road to Health and Safety on September 20, one in the F lot on October 4, one near the Davis Cenue servici area on October 5, and one in the Math and Computer service area and the J lot on October 6. In all casesscrapes and scratches have been inflicted on the cars, and one car’s roof had to be replaced after someone walked across it. All incidents occured late at night and are believed to be alcohol-related. Motor
vehjtcle accidents over $700 A car moving at high speed turned from ring road to the village road. The driver lost control and mounted the curb, where he skidded along for 22.5m. The car then collided with the concrete base of a light standard, scraping theentiresideofthevehicle,which

A woman had collaDsed from exhaustion caused bv h& lack of eating and her par& Dation in a SCUNT. She was Leated at hospital. Also that day a man suffering from angina collapsed in Siegfried Hall at St. Jerome’s* He was taken to hospital by ambuience. A,third incident uccured that day on the ring near Biology 1. A female student complained of abdomnal pains and was taken to hospital. This apparently has been a habitual problem for her. On October 3 a student was driving his bike near Optometry. He at>r>roached a curb and atternpie; to jump it. The bike wasn’t tied up far enough and the driver flew over the handle bars. The student was taken to hospital.

Village, they get more foad. Let% take a typical lunch like a hamburger, fries and a fountain drink. In the Villages this would be all you would get for your four dolkm. At St. Paul’s on the other hand, in addition to your entrke, you could get as mtich milk, pop and juice as you want, a W.l salad bar, pudding, jello and fiuit. At breakfast there’s eggs to order, endless cereal, juice, bagels, and hash browns. At supper residents are even treated to self-sense ice cream. The only catch to the church colleges is that you must eat your meals there. Because they still have the all you can eat style meal plan, residents pay for meals they miss as well as the meals they ea& which can explain some of the difference in pricing. Even if you’re only eating lunch and dinner there though; you’re still get-
ting a better deal. Students can take some comfort though’in the fact that the cost of a residence meal plan at Waterloo is still cheaper than most universities in the province, including the University of Guelph, who reputedly has the best food of any school in Canada. Waterloo students can also be thankful that they do not attend Laurier where the only place to buy food on weekends is an A & W restaurant. While Food Services does seem to be fading ways co make food better and cheaper, it is still .mind boggling why a non-profit business has to charge so much. One wonders what a meal at East Side Mario’s would cost if’ they could count on every student in the Villages spending a thousand dollars there, every term, and it didn’t even have to make a profit. HopefiiUyFoodServiceswiUsoon be able tb give us some idea.

Three seperate false fue alarms occured in Village - on September 28, October 4 and October 4. lt is standerd practice to evacuate people in these instances, and this actionon October 6 caused health problems for a female student. She is asthmatic, and had been cl&king and smoking. The additional action of leaving the building caused her to collapse with breathing ticulties. WV Police would like to once again remind people that such fire alarm pranks not only waste emergency personnel’s time, they do endanger people’s lives. Pulling fire alarms unnecessarily is also an indictable offense under the Criminal Code of Canada.

AccCssing your co-op jobs More power in the search for work by Andrew Kennedy special to Imprint Formanyofusinfourthyear, we can still remember the days of the Want Ads. For those of you who have never seen the Want Ads, it was a newspaper-like publication of all of the jobs which were available in co-op for a particular term. We were given one weekend to go through the Want Ads, find up to 20 jobs we wanted to apply to and hand in a package to co-op indicating the jobs we were applying to and enough resumes to distribute to those jobs. Afier the Want Ads came the postings on the job boards and the bins in Needles Hall. Instead of one single publication, all of
by Julie Primeau VP Internal Federation of Students Last week over 500 people received free condoms at the Bombshelter as part of the National AIDS Awareness Week, 1996. The event was sponsored by the Student Issues Resource Came, and was called the First ever “Safer Sex Night at the Bombshelter.” Each person had his or her pick of red, blue, yellow or regularcondoms. There has beensome confusion about these condoms, however, since the batch numbers on the red, blue and yellow ones look like dates. Each batch number appears on the condom
the jobs were staggered over several postings. We soon became accustomed to visiting Needles *Hall (or one of the other locations where the jobs were posted such as Math, EL and the various student society ofices) and reading the postings every other day and dumping resumes in the apprbpriate bins. Finally, tier many terms of waiting, the much vaunted Access system finally came online. This certainly represented a considerable advancement from the days of the Want Ads or even the days of the job boards in Needles. Sure, the jobs are still posted on the boards, but the crowds certainly aren’t as large as they used to be as most people are reading
as something like 960402, or 95057. In reality, all of these condoms are long from their expiry dates. Expiry dates are clearly marked on the regular variety of condoms - but on the yellow, red and blue condoms, the expiry date is denoted by the month and year. That means that the red condoms expire March of 2000, the yellow condoms expire March of 2000, and the blue condoms ex.pire in April of 1999. Many people remarked upon receiving one of the condoms that they wouldn’t need it that night. Well, rest easy - the coloured variety that you got are good for at least three years! On other topics...
the jobs from in front of a computer terminal. And who can blame them. With Access, you have much more power over your job searching. You can search based on the level of the job you want, the disciplines the company is advertising to and even the location of the job. But, while it represents a step forward, it certainly doesn’t, nor should it, represent the end in the evolution of the system. For all of the advancements that Access represents, it still has its faults. First of all, the commands are somewhat non-sensical. Who would think to hit Esc-6 in order to execute a search? It certainly isn’t the first thing that springs into my head. As well, the
system is limited to 90 simultaneous users. When you consider that each term there are over 1000 Engineers in the system, this limitation is significant. Add all of the Math, AHS, Science and Arts students into this mix and there is a problem. These are just some of the concerns which people have with Access. If there are all of these problems, why hasn’t Access been changed? It certainly isn’t for lack of desire on Co-op’s part. They’re certainly interested in something better. However, there is a lack of knowledgeable resources in Needles Hall when it comes to this sort of computerization. That’s why SAC is looking to take advantage of the students of UW to
change the system. After a& isn’t this supposed to be the top school in Canada for Computer Science, Math and Engineering? The current vision involves putting Access on the Web and using forms to create queries and searching the database in this ftihion. What we’re looking for right now is your feedback about Access. Tell us what you like and hate about it. But most of all, teil us what you’d like to see in a different system. Comments can be sent to sac@undergrad .math.uwaterloo.ca or to the uw.coop.sac newsgroup. Ifyou’re interested in becoming more invoIved in this or other projects afSecti.ngco-op, SAC meets Tuesdays at 5:30pm in NH 1030.
The Student Issues Resource Centre is a new service provided through the FEDS, which I touched upon in last week’s column. There are many other services that the FEDS provide with the intention of making your stay at W as comfortable as possible. Here is an overview of some of theFEDS services,their locations, and how to get in contact with them: -The Womyn’s Centre operates as a collective, trying to help women’s’ movements and feminism grow stronger and healthier through diversity. Volunteers are needed to organize panel discussions, workshops, and various other events. The Centre itself is located in SLC 2102 (above the
Bombshelter) or by calling 885 1211 x3457. - G.L.L.O.W. (gay and lesbian liberation of Waterloo) operates for every student on campus in an effort to beller educate and increase tolerance of homosexual issues.G.L.LX3.W. has aresource centre which is maintained by volunteers along with a variety of specialevents throughout the year. G.L.L.O.W. also holds a weekly discussion group on Wednesday evenings and for more information on topics you can call their office at 884-4569. - Become a Volunteer! The Student Part-time Employment and Volunteer Centre provides i&ormation about on campus volunteer and employment opportunities, and is operated by student volunteers: The Centre is located in the SLC Service area above the Imprint orby calling 8851211 ext.2051. -The Legal ResourceLandlord
& Tenant Of&e has a great deal of information within their office dealing with legal issues aswell as LSAT information for prospective Law Students. - l?.A.L5 (Peer Assistance Links) is a peer help phone Line operated entirely by students (888-4860). Training in active listening skills and peer counseling is provided. As I have mentioned a million times before, these services are here for you, to help enhance your experience while here at WW. The FEDS need to know how usehl these services are, and that is where you come in. Let us know how you feel about the services and which areas we can become stronger. And keep reading the FEDback to learn about the rest of the FEDS services as well asthe other areas that I will touch on in weeks to come. The Fed Office is located in SLC1102orbycalling888-4U42.

c)s not oken that anything that happens in Canada makes it into II& American press, but now that 26,000 General Motors workers are on strike, you can bet that it’s making headlines (or at least making HtwUiw Nim) down south. The issue at hand is primarily cLoutsourcing” the practice of contracting some work that would normally be done by GM workers to smaller businesses.Predictably, &e union seessuch practices as a threat to their very existence and ifit continues, surely Ragnarok cannot be far away, etc. etc. Unions are one of the few bastions of commun@m left in the free world and it% time that we put an end to such nonsense. Sadly, they’re such an entrenched part of the workforce that it’s difficult to argue for their abolition, but here goes. The original reason for their inception is no longer valid. In the olden days, owners of factories were evil mutants, hell-spawn if you will, who forced small children (some only embryos!) to work 23 hour days. Then, the unions came along and saved all the children and forced the owners *back to the city of Dis. . .or so the story goes. Today, with the industrial revolution f& behind us, the idea of unions protecting workers’ rights is an antiquated notion. Since that time, companies have become cognisant of the fact that increasing productivity means treating your labour force with some respect. T’he very fact that workers now complain about %ot getting as big a raise as last year” or “too small a budget for a daycare centre” suggests that the days of companies intentionally screwing workers (if ever such a day existed) are largely behind us here in the Western world. Theystandinoppositbntoarationaltheory of property rights. This is the easy one. Say I buy a factory. I’m the one who owns it, it’s mine. It’s similar to it being my house. For good or ill, 3:make decisions regarding what we produce, how we produce it, what kind of R&D we do, and so on. The workers are my employees, and we have an agreement that I will pay them X if they perform Y fktion. That% it. To allow a group of them to band together and start imposing what they think should be done is wrong because they have no%I.7c to impose such action, It is my factory and should I decide how it should be run. They oppose efficiency-improving measures like outsourcing~ Why are organizations looking to contract work out? Is it so that they can screw their workers, a large source of their profits? Well, no, it’s done as a cost-cutting measure to improve efficiency. Regardless of the fact that the owners have every right to make such a decision, it is simply not the responsibility of workers to interfere in management decisions. They do so only because they see an immediate loss for themselves, regardless of the fact that unless companies make such deci@ons, the long run bodes even worse for workers, If more efficient methods of producing cars (or whatever) aren’t found, thafs bad for the company, and ultimately, bad for the workers. In truth, unions are greedy assholes just like the rest of us, They are looking out for number one, the same as the compgily they work for and the companies who stand to benefit from outsourcing. Unless they are willing to take in stride the fact that it isnotalways workers who know best, and that the owners are nut in the business of fucking over their own employees, they will only add more fodder to the guns of chose who argue for their eradication.
What goes around, comes back stronger... P
au&for a moment with me to discuss fscists. And no, 1 don’t mean small C conservatives (Preston Manning’s a fascist) or ardent lefists. No, I mean the genuine ardcle, the frightening individuals that are Nazis. Yes, those kind, the book-burning, fag-bashing, narrow-minded trolls that have made a disturbing resurgence ~ recent years. I’ve always considered myself politically aware, ifnot astute, but I was completely blind sided by this whoIe Nazi qua&y. I thought their ilk, like most unpleasant things, limited in its scope to just big cities. Sadly, this is just not true. They are here among us, proselytizing as you read, hoping that someday, somewhere, everyone w-ill look, think, act, and live like they do. How does the normally tolerant and level-headed political climate of Canada give rise to such a vile philosophy? The politics of hate are certainly nothing new south of the border, but then the American character is much, much, different than its Canadian counterpart. American society was one born dut of violence; this is evident to anyone with a modicum of insight. But in this century, why does an idea like Naziism still proliferate? How does one generation produce a giant among men like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and its offspring produce a smallminded, prejudiced ogre like WoKgang Droege? Despite what many would have you’believe, people are not born racist. There is no genetic pattern that makes one person a fniend to all, and the other a blinded enemy of a certain race or culture. Not even someone like Ernst Zundelcame out ofthe womb despising Jews; butifnature doesn’t produce bigots, exactly where do they come from? The two conflicting theories of human development state that our character is either innate or a product of our enviranment. So if Nazis are not born, what is it about Canadian society that gives them reason to propagate?
Sixry’years ago, fascist philosophy was made popular among an electorate that was demoralized by massive military defeat, crippled by widespread economic instability, and generally apathetic towards politic and government, Suddenly, this mustachioed chap from Austria appeared on the political scene, arguing that he could fix the country’s problems if the people would just give him complete control. Somehow Mussolini, like Hitler, managed to convince the people that total government control was a good idea, and it took the combined efforts of Great Britain, the USSR, and the USA to convince them otherwise. But how does a populace, each individual endowed with a spirit that constantly yearns for freedom, secede complete control over its collective destiny to a madman? I will make the bold and rather obvious statement that ifs the governmenfs fault. But honestly, think about it. The current electoral climate is one of severe apathy. Most citizens cease to have any input or consideration for the way the country is run, while others attempt to circumvent a weak government with their own “strong political leanings. A climate of political’ apathy breeds fascists. This government, and most others before it, have ceased to make any kind of difference to lives of the electorate, choosing instead to increase the size and scope of govemment infIuence, You may pause at this point to wonder why people would then align themselva with fascist ideology. It seems to do exactly the same. The key difference is that fascists tend to agree strongly with the principles of f&&m, while they are largely indifferent to any kind of democratic government ideals. So what is to be done, then, if the current course of action only serves to foment such hostile ideas? The first, and most important step, is to make a government both responsive and responsible to its citizens. Bipartisan l

Back
off guys
To the Editor, This letter is dedicated to the five or &K males that I had a confrontation: with at one ofour local bars last Sunday. And this letter is to all those guys out there who feel they have every right in the world to touch and degrade women in a bar (or anywhere else, for that matter.) Sadly, I feel that I must add a disclaimer here. I am not some crazy women’s lib advocate, and I feel that I am pretty skUed at brushing off assholes that bother me in bars. But what happened on Sunday was one of the most demeaning and annoying experiences of my life. I showed up at the bar all dressed up and in a great mood, and most of the night went smoothly, except for some dolt who followed me around for half the night because he was positive that I likedhirn and wanted to go home with him. Dolt eventually lefi me alone, as he was humiliated on the dance floor in tiont of all his friends when I refused to be within five feet ofhim. Another male, reeking of alcohol and practically falling over himself, tried to get my name for half& hour, then said something like, “If it’s this hard to get your name, I wonder how hard it is for people to get your phone number” and staggered off. Don’t try, buddy. Drunk people attempting to be cool and pick up. Whatever. Here’s where the story gets worse. Towards the end of the night, with only about an hour lefi before the music stopped, I walked by a group of five or six guys and I felt a slimy, sweaty hand grab my ass. When none of the courageous bastards confessed to the crime, I was more than willing to walk away from it and avoid them for the rest of the evening. But as I was about to turn and leave, one of them . asked me to dance. My typical response to that question tier being groped? Two words: “Fuck off.” So, according to them, because I didn’t want to gyrate on the dance floor with one of these “Gallant Knights of the Festering Pig-shit Assholes Clan,” I suddenly deserved to be called a tramp, a slut, and other closely related terms. Here’s a lesson in vocabulary, you knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, hairypalmed troll: a slut f&ks everyone, including you. Draw your own conclusions. Eventually, the confrontation turned physical and I was forced to use the gifts my mentor Jackie Ghan taught me until he loosened his grip on me. I can understand people getting a little liquored up and trying to meet someone who wants what they want, but groping and making rude remarks is definitely not the way to do it. I can’t even comprehend the extent of brain damage necessary to acquire the mentality that calling someone a tramp or squeezing their breasts or buttocks will ensure an easy tick. But perhaps they didn’t expect easy sex. Maybe assgrabber just wanted to touch a piece of ass, or maybe this macho-man wanted to show off in front of his friends. Whatever the case, women have every right, as do men (because Pm quite sure some men have had to deal with degrading acts from women), to feel comfortable and s&e wearing or
doing what they enjoy without having to deal with some idiot who can’t keep his hands to themselves or his mouth shut. Keep your dirty hands in your pockets and your mouth occupied with a stick of gum or a cigarette, pig-boys, because most of us don’t want to play your stupid little games.

This is a shame. Varsity sports should be given top priority, I understand that, but those competing in these Campus Recreation events should get a little print time as well. Just because we don’t have the talent to make a Varsity team does not mean we don’t play just as hard. Some of us do have the talent, but are in programs that require more time for our studies and don’t have that time to practice at a Varsity level. Some people can handle it all. Mechanical engineers pl&ing fmtball, I know it happens, but these are rare exceptions. Campus Recreation leagues and tournaments have brought together hundreds of UW students and made school just that much more enjoyable. It is my hope that Imprint can make room in its “student” newspaper to acknowledge Joe Athlete who enjoys playing baseball, volleyball, hockey, basketball, etc., for the competition, friendship and release from a rigorous school year. To acknowledge those who just play for the hell of it. These people deserve a little beam of that limelight tm.

Suddenly I heard something behind me, the sound of tires on gravel, and my stomach contracted. I had been alone on the path. As the person sped by, I found myselfmoving away and feeling relieved. It happened twice more in the meen minutes it takes to walk the path. Despite the fact that none of the people who passed me matched the description of the person who is currently attacking women in the Waterloo area, I was afraid of each one. My rational mind told me that these people, all men, were not that man, but it didn’t matter what my rational mind told me. My body reacted in fear. Hope, according to G. K. Chesterton, is the power of being cheerful in circumstances that we know to be desperate. Mr. Atwal writes himselfthat Yt is a sad fact of life that rape wilI never disappear... There will always be brain damaged cretins prowling the back aIleyways.” These seem to be

desperate circumstances. But the reason I have marched with women in the past, and the reason that I will do so in body or in spirit next year and the year tier that, is that I have some kind of hope. I hope that someday I can walk unaided (i.e. without a man) along a path ,without a sick feeling in my stomach when someone passes me. Atwal also mentions a range of opinions in the women’s movement about Take Back the Night, and I need to remind him that the same range of opinions exists in the minds of men. I know this because there are men who speak out against violence of all kinds, and men who work to aid those men who have been raped and violated and because there are men who will not listen to the word no. Most of the actions we speak out against aswomen take place in our own homes, perpetrated by someone that we know. Until this fact changes, and I hope that someday it will, I will march, without men, beside women who feel the same fear and distrust that I feit this morning. - Hmtbm t2ddkr

IMPRINT,
politics simply do not work in the Canadian political system; it’s either all or nothing when it comes to government, and that is a wrong-headed idea. I may be a member of a certain political party, but I would choose to be such even if1 didn’t agree with all of its principles. I have my own mind, and should be free to exercise it, no matter what party’s name comes after mine on the ballot. The notion of “toeing the party line” is a manifestation of this problem; dissent is dangerous, so it’s all or nothing, and we have seen more than a few (John Nunziata comes leaping to mind) cross this line and pay the price for it. This has to change if government is. to be able to respond to its people once more. Second, government is just too damn big. The executive has decided that the everyday afEairs of its citizens are its primary business, not the operations of the state, while the judicial branch of government has taken an increasingly large role in re-writing the law, all under the guise of interpretation. This is not its task. It is not responsible to the electorate in any way at all, and its job is only to enforce the law, not make it. That is the purpose of the executive. And the fact that it is not responsible to the people essentially makes the judiciary above the law, able to bend and break the rules when this suits its own ends. This must stop. Government be!longs to the people, not to the select few who wear fancy robes. The choice is either to switch to a system where judges are elected, or just a return to executive decision-making. And the executive must once again turn to its proper foci: external afECrs, justice, infrastructure, trade, and national defence. Finally, the job of politician must no

It disgusts me to the core to see beside an MP’s name, under career, the entry “politician.” This is not a problem with the electoral pr’ocess, but MLA is not a valid career choice. I cannot go to university 70 be a politician” in the same manner that I could go to be an engineer or teacher. A politician is frost and foremost the servant of his electorate, and not there for his own gain. Politics has become far too lucrative to be an honest game; an indexed pension, a salary on the low side of fdthy rich, free travel and living expenses... does the gluttony ever end? It is this kind of abuse of power that sickens the ordinary citizen and turns him to political extremes. This also must end and the sooner the better. At this point, most people are wringing their han& indisgust anddespair. The system seems so corrupt and broken that any kind df reparation seems an impossible dream. Its products can be seen on a street corner near you, with their shaved heads and red bootlaces, waiting to assert their authority over you by virtue of their ethnicity. The choice is put to you, then. Avoid apathy; get involved; assert that the pursuit of freedom is paramount in our society, and that the intrusion of government is really not welcome. I am not saying that government is disposable, but given the option, most ofus would rather do without it. We cannot let those we grant authoriT to forget that fact. And if we do not take back the power, bring it back tom, we wiIl once again see brownshirts and blood in the streets. For those who forget history live to see it once more. - fiw

There’s an old saying that sayssyou’re not a socialkt by the time you’re 20, you have no heart; ifyou’re not a conservative by the time you’re 40, you have no brain. Well, I have both (contrary to what many may think), and not surprisingly, Pm flmding it increasingly di&-ult to buy into either philosophy. On the right, you have ideologues with a blinding faith - and it is faith, little more - that the market will right all wrong and make man truly free. If you think I’m exaggerating, try reading anything by either Milton or David Friedman. On the lefi, unfortunately, you generally get idealistic idiots, Take this week for example. Published excerpts of Bob Rae’s memoirs reveal a conversation he and two other NDP provincial premiers had with Bob White, president of the Canadian Labour Congress, in early 1993. Bob White suggested that On&o declare bankruptcy and pay “50 or 60 tens on the dollar,, to its creditors, Just like the Reichmanns, he said. Doh! First, it is pretty obvious that if Ontario did such a thing, few people would ever lend money to the province again at anything approaching a reasonable interest rate, ifat all. Deficit financing would meet a very quick end. Second, as my economics professor pointed out, such a bankruptcy would hurt the province’s creditors, among them pension funds, mutual funds, and other large institutional investors. These corporations, ofcourse, manage Joe Worker’s pension and mutual fund investments so that he can have a co&or-table retire-

ment. So who would really get hurt in the long run? The very people Bob White claims to represent. Meanwhile, James Laxer, a former national NDP leadership candidate, has recently written a book calledIn Sea& ofa NW w. He advocates a return to class politics, among other things. Unfortunately, it’s been tried. A fellow named Marx brought it up once, and I think we all know what happened after that. More recently, class politics has been drummed up by dubious characters such asJacques Par&au in attempts to further sinister agendas. All I can say is, keep searching, James. To complete this triumvirate of stupidity, we have Buzz Hargrove leading unsuspecting GM workers (and possibly others) into unemployment. Buzz was happy to announce that the CAW strike fund has over $50 million in it, enough for about 12 weeks on the picket lines, What Buzz and his cronies don’t seem to realize is that when GM is &ng $50 million or morepm week, some quick math will show that any concessions that GM could have made earlier will evaporate if the strike continues for any length of time. To be fair, GM seems to be stalling for its own reasons, but the CAW is still losing sight of the much bigger picture. It is too bad that the left is being so stupid. The neo-conservatives currently in vogue are only slightly less stupid, but they happen to have more power and money. Consequently, I fear that, to paraphrase a quote from J&ue&&, right will always triumph, because left is lzumb.
If there’s one thing I hate, it is government-enforced monopolies. Correspondingly, I hate Canada Post. The government has a mandate to serve the people, and not letting anyone compete with a government organization so the government can make cash is wrong. However, with Canada Post we have the situation of a government-enforced monopoly that is losing enormous amounts of money. Tax-payer money. $1.5 En’lliorz over the last 14 years. Ottawa has just released a report on Canada Post. There are many recommendations, but unfortunately, they are almost all crap. The report suggests an immediate Il%increaseinpostalrates,forcingCanada Post to withdraw from “electronic messagingn and forcing private courier companies to pay $50 (use a $50 stamp) on every package they deliver. However, there is one recommendation that I endorse. This is giving Canada Post a mandate to break even, and nothing more. The government should not be out to make a profit. However, this point would become moot ifcanada Post were to be privatized. Opponents to this idea claim that the mail service would be irreparably disrupted, but 1 just don’t see why this would happen. Obviously privatization would.& happen overnight, and whoever is taking over would have a great incentive to make sure there was a smooth transition. I think such claims are based on some irrational fa of the free market. Regardless of whether or not Canada
Post gets p&at&d, their monopoly on regular mail service should be terminated immediately. How eke can we ensure that we’re getting regular mail service at a f%r price? Right now, Canada Post actuahy makes money on its regular mail, but takes the cash to subsidize its less profitable ventures. This is actually ilIe@, but since it’s the government, nothing is done, A private company would also have a great incentive to offer realistic agreements to the union. Right now, Canada Post is renowned for having one of the most generous agreements on the entin: continent. Postal workers actually get paid to sit at home. It is easier for the government to shell out more cash and keep the union happy than have labour problems and an unpleasant political situation. The report was crap, but, fortunately, the government has already said that it doesn’t plan on acting on many of the recommendations. However, the status quo cannot be maintained. Privatization is t’lll* only sensible option.

With the game so close and the defences in peak form, it became apparent that one big play would make the difference. Finally, at the three-minute mark of the fourth quarter, that big play happened. Wilkinson took the snap and saw Thorne streaking downfield. 39 yards later, the Warriors found themselves at the Mustang M-yard line in prime scoring position. Three plays later, Sigos came on to attempt the big 2 l-yard field goal. The snap, however, was low and bounced,
Wiion grabbed the ball and started scrambling left, looking for somebody, anybody. That somebody was Doug Haidner, who had a step on his man. ‘Wilkinson floated the pass to the end zone into the awaiting arms of Haidner, who held on to the ball despite taking a big hit. Touchdown, Warriors led 6-l with under I1 minutes to go. T&j? said go for two, but the two-point convert attempt failed. Western started driving but fkmbled the ball, and Warrior Trevor Trodd swatted the ball out of bounds to give the Warriors possession with 4:29 to go. The Warriors went two-and-out, however, and Bigos came in to punt again. Bigos came through once again and pinned Western deep with just under four minutes to go. Things were look@ good for the Warriors, who might fmally get that big first ever win against the Mustangs in the OUM. Then Western started driving. The Warriors went into a prevent defence and suddenly Western was at midfield. With a third-and-ten, the Warriors needed only one more stop to secure the victory. Western completed a pass, but not enough for a fu-st down. However, Waterloo was of&de and Western had another chance, which they capitalized on, and extended the drive. Bad memories started to surface of last year’s semi-final loss to theMustangs, where a last-minute

e latest Waterloo Open Cross Country meet was held last Saturday. IIt was good to seesuch a well-organized meet run on Waterloo soil. The Athenas, Warriors, and Waterloo Alumni teams ran and defended the Waterloo trail well. The field of over 100 runners didn’t quite match last year’s 200+ strong OUAA warm-up, but it was still an impressive show of strong Ontario competition. The meet convener was Jason Gregoire, who was trying his hand at running meets rather than in them. Gregoire raised a force of volunteers for the day making the near-perfect day a success. The enthusiasm and competence of the volunteers allowed the runners to do what they do best. The men’s race was first, starting at Ilam. They had to complete 4 laps of the course before being allowed to run into the chute and past the finish line. Finishing in first place was Nick Kipp, a Waterloo Alumni, in a quick 28:42. Although not quick for the 8k that the course was first said to be, it was for the almost 9K that the runners later deemed it to be, Stephen Drew, in ninth place, was the first Waterloo Varsity runner in, followed by Jeff Irwin in 14th, Chris Watson in 15th, JohnLefrancoin22nd,andAdam Burnett in 27th. Although the Warriors worked hard as a team, the third place performance of the Varsity team couldn’t match that of the second place Alumni team or the first place University of Guelph team. The women’s race started almost an hour later and was to be

a battle between the strong Guelph and Waterloo teams. Guelph was ranked first in the country for women’s cross country whereas Waterloo was ranked fifth. Waterloo will probably rise a to third place because of last Saturday’s meet. Sarah Dillabaugh was the first woman and Waterloo runner to cross the finish line at 15 :03. Judith Leroy (second), Sepanta Dorri (fifth), Kim Langton (ninth), and Kim Ross (12th) all finished soon after. The Guelph team collected the gold medals last Saturday, beating Waterloo by only one point. Judith Leroy said., in her usual competitive style, that they would aget them when it counts,” referring to the OUAA championships at Queen’s on the 26th. Dillabaugh said that the Waterioo trail is “comparable to the QUs terrain,n referring to Queen’s, and implying that they would be ready.

Brent McFarlane, the women’s X-C coach, said that the “training has gone well,” and that “they are in the best shape of their lives.” The women’s second place ftish at McGill two weeks ago explains McFarlane’s enthusiasm for his girls and that “they ran totally awesome.” Our Warrior and Athena teams run again this weekend in Grand Bend at Hill Camp. The Hill Camp is a Waterloo-Only meet where Waterloo teams get their best competition: against themselves on the sandy shore of Lake Huron. They are subjecting themselves to the anguish of Grand Bend so that they will be able to attack Guelph and Western on October 26 at Queens. The morale of both teams is very high and #everybody is pumped. This positive attitude and the Hill Camp should make Kingston, site ofthe OUAAS, another good meet for Waterloo to prove its&against its rivals.

With another head-tohead match-up two days ago on Wednesday (results unavailable), Athena coach Sharon Creelman promised there’d be changes.

Iautier doubles ankees-Orioles. CardsBraves. How about Y Laurier-Waterloo? Last week, the Warriors and Golden Hawks battled for the first time since Waterloo buried Laurier 9-2 and 6-4 in both ends of a doubleheader. This time, the Hawks exacted revenge by similar 10-3 and 7-4 scores. Warrior catcher JeESommer admitted that the expansionist Warriors made some %rst-year mistakes.” “We made some untimely errors that Laurier capitalized on,” recollected Sommer. ?Is a team, though, we’ve come together
up
quickly. We’re there mentally.” With the pair of losses, the Warriors drop to 4- 10 on the year with two games remaining in the schedule. W@ in these contests may propel the Black and Cold pastGuelph (4-8) andLaurier (S7) into third place. With a little help, of course. Due to Deparunent of Athletic policy regarding first-year teaqs, the Warriors will not be participating in post-season play, whether they earn a playoff berth or not. In Ontario, the top four teams enter the post-season. Since Waterloo is exempted, Brock, McMaster, Cuelph, and Laurier will continue playing irregardless of their regular season standings.
Warriors As the seasoncomes to a close, Sommer relays that the Waterloo coaching staff was pleased with the team’s accomplishments, ccWe’re on course,n says Sommer. ‘We have two good starters inMatt Lindsay and Steve Penner (who are lefi- and righthanded respectively) and we’ve established a big rivalry with Laurier .” Another bright spot is Dan Murray, the second sacker clubbing the ball at a sizzling S71 pace. Murray, who played two years down in Texas, was unavailable for duty against Laurier. Building on this season, the Warriors will be back next year, ready to climb the ladder of Ontario intercolegiate baseball.

arly last Saturday morning the curtain went up on Campus Ret’s annual slo-pitch to&em. When the show was over on Sunday tiernoon, only two teams were left standing victorious. In the men’s competitive final, Team Sleeman was defeated by the Rebels in a close contest. In the Co-Ret draw, the Bull Hitters came out on top after knocking off the Boomers in the final game of the day.

ix months ago, Eric Pauyo Jr. sat alone after receiving the news from doctors that they would have to surgically repair his torn achilles tendon. It was the middle of March, Pauyo would be out of action for at least six months and possibly the whole year. Gone were any hopes of ftnishing his first varsity track season, one that had looked very promising. He would also miss the Warriors spring camp, an important event on the football calender since many of the starting spots are won or lost during these 10 days in April. After a successful rookie season as a backup, it looked doubtful that the Montreal native would be able to step into a starting position. ccDon’t worry,” Pauyo told teammates and friends when they tried to console him. ‘This will only make me stronger? It was a typical response from Pauyo whose confident style of play has won him praises. Recruited by Defensive Co-ordinator Chris Triantafilou, it was hoped that Pauyo could step into former cornerback Kirk Wittex’s position this season. Pauo’s achilles injury however threw a monkev wrench into Triantafilou’s plans: Due to his . absence from spring camp, Pauyo remained a back-up behind start: ers JasonTibbits andToryLocker. “It was hard,” said Pauyo of his fall camp experience.

with the rest of his teammates as Head Coach Dave Tuf+” Knight anuounced the starters for the game. “For the defensive backs,“said Knight, quickly going through the line-up prior tokick-off, Yve’ll go with Pauyo, Tibbits, Trodd, Dyson and Garland.” It was an unexpected announcement, yet at the same time, one everybody in the locker room knew would come eventually. Pauyo had proven himself worthy of a starting position. Against Laurier, he held the Hawks’ Zack Treanor to just one catch and eight yards while collecting his first interception of 1996. Against McMaster, he held his receiver to just two c&tches and knocked down three balls. This weekend, Pauyo was once again a key. Knocking down every ’ ball that came near him, Pauyo’s intensity and emotion throughout the game helped carry Waterloo to its first win against Western in 28 years. Triantafilou’s decision to elevate the rising star to a starting spot seemed to fulfil his original plans for the Andre-Grasset graduate, while at the same time satisfied a goal Pauyo has been working towards since his rookie year. Y came to Waterloo to SW” says Pauyo matter-of-factly. “Dressing was not an option for me. I5fe always been taught that in life you’ve got to be the best that you can be and that to me means not just dressing, it means starting. “Some people may call me cocky, but I think Pm realistic, If you askme ifI’m good, I’m going to say: Ya, I’m good, and I’m going to prove it to you. But, I also know that I can’t be good without my front seven and my other defensive backs. I can’t be good ifthey don’t give 100% just li.ketheycan’tif’Idon’tgive NO%, and I don’t want to let them down,”

anywhere anytime l for people or parcels airport service . fast courteous service Tommy Morrison retired fromboxinginFebruary&ertesting positive for HIV, the virus believed to cause ADS. He said that he wanted to devote his life to helping others with AIDS deal with the disease. What a great guy, Now he wants to return to the ring to fight one last time. What a dumb guy, Morrison; like many other retired boxers, is on a comeback. He wants to fight one last time in a charity fight to benefit children infected with HIV. This seems like a noble cause. However, I believe that he may have overlooked a few small problems. Boxing is violent. In boxing, you get cut. When you get cut; you tend to bleed. If Morrison gets opened up and st;uts bleeding, guess what, there’s HIV-infected bid splattering everywhere. I know I’d feel 4~ safe in that ring. Morrison claims that he did research and that he now believesthatHIvcannotbetrans-
mitted in the ring. One must be wary of his researching skills though. He obviously believed that l&s of unprotected sex with many different women couldn’t give you HIV either. Apparently, boxers have been %ning up” to face Morrison. I can’t believe that anybody in their right mind would be stupid enough to get into the ring with this guy, knowing that their Life may be in danger. (I guess that applies to boxing as a whole though.) No amount of money would be wo& the inherent dangers involved. But in boxing, everybody has a price, and a willing (albeit stupid) opponent will probably be found. As it stands now, the major boxing states (Nevada, New Jersey, and possibly
New
York)
have
rul~whichprohibitHIV-infected boxers from entering the ring. Morrison may challenge these rules on a legal basis, However, boxing commissions can be bought and sold and, quite possi-
bly, one of these states’ boxing commissions could be persuaded to relax their rules a bit: If boxing commissions ever wanted to start having some integrity, now would be a pretty good time. Many boxers have returned to ring one too many times and have lived (and died) to regret it. LooknofLrtherthanMuhammed Ali for proof of this. But at least when these people re-enter the ring, they are only endangering their own lives and well-being. Tommy Morrison’s return will not only endanger him, it will endanger the l3e and health of some other unfortunate soul who can’t see through all the dollar signs to the bottom line. I don’t care what Morrison says, when there’s lots of blood involved, the risk of contracting HIV is simply too great. If Morrison goes through with this ill-advised return, he may end up having one more HIV-infected person to dedicate his life to helping. Is that what he reaUy wants?

A solid punch in Sebadoh
Phoenix Concert 7lwaWe Tuesday, October 1 by Sean Hder Imprint SW
H
undreds offs pack into the club, anxiously awaiting the moment that Sebadoh, their romantic 104 indie rock heroes, take the stage. Minds are racing. What if Lou’s pissed off again? Will they sound any better than last time? How long do you think they’ll play for? Rumours run amok through the crowd: vocal/guitar-boy Lou Barlow has been spotted in the midst of a pack of autographhungry kids... hopefully nobody brings up his days as bassist in Dinosaur jr-that would put him in a bad mood for sure... Sebadoh kicked things off with a lack-lustre style, slipping out the opening bars of Together or Alone” as the curtains opened. Continuing into “Not a Friend,” drummer Bob Fay and bassist Jason Loewenstein helped our beloved Lou plough through songs from Sebadoh’s last three albums, their latest (and possibly strongest) record Hamacy and countless other releases. It wasn’t until four songs into their set,
when Lou exclaimed ‘2 don’t know about you, but I’m having a good time,” that their audience could put all worries out of mind and join the band in fully appreciating the show. Sebadoh have harnessed an amazing mix of bass driven rhythms and soaring, grinding guitars to perform everything from poetic love-gone-wrong songs to fast, angry, screeching punk rock that both romantics and angst-ridden audiophiles can enjoy. And judging from the sounds that emanated from the stage at the Phoenix for two hours on Tuesday night, everyone appreciated everything immensely. Blasting through three sets that included Barlow-penned crowd favourites such as “Magnet’s Coil,” “The Freed Pig,” ccHomen and ‘Too Pure” as well as Loewenstein nuggets ‘Crystal Gypsy” and KWorst Thing,” Sebadoh aimed to please themselves and the crowd alike. Taking the odd break to sing out a few lines from his childhood favourites or teaseus with the frost bar of “Brand New Love,” Lou obviously had himself some fun. Even when he wasn’t playing, he was hbrsing around: between songs, the P.A. broadcast a soundtrack mix of interview snippets,
messages left on Lou’s answering machine and outright band hijinks. As a first encore treat, the threesome tossed Bob onto bass and Jason behind the drums to jam into CCPunchin the Nose,” backed nicely by the trumpet master from openers Steve Westfield and the Slo Band. Proceeding to invite Steve himself to the microphone and hoisting a few gals from the front to stage level, they rocked their way through a sing-a-long lounge version of a song that most of us watched the Slo Band perform hours earlier. Wacky, yes, but no one could argue that the good time had bv all on the stage wasn’t rubbing offon those of 1Ein front of it. &d let’s not forget Sonny, the scariest roadie alive, who announced promptly after encore #l that “Ladies and gentleman, Sebadoh have left the building!” only to lead the crowd in calling them back to the limelight rninutes later. This, after Sonny and company joined Lou in an R cti.elZa version of something awful in mid-set, Yes, this show was fU of surprises, not the least of which was Lou and Bob facing the room at the end of the frost encore to belt out a stirring rendition of

Charlie Rich’s ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World.” A fitting end to a magnificent show, but there was still more. At the end of it alI, after having butteredup the audience (You know, we’re thinking of &ovi.ng to Canada.. .‘) and playing one of
the tightest, most entertaining shows most fans have ever seen the band play, Sebadoh squeezed out one last, lovely version of “Social Medicine” and left the *stagewith the crowd purring blissfully behind them. Way to go, Sebadoh!
“MakesNoSenseAtAll.“Thelast two, he performed as an encore on an electric guitar, much to the crowd’s delight. “Enough of that twelve string stufX, what was I thinking?” quipped Mould when the crowd erupted at the sight of his electric axe.
Sugar had some amazing songs and one near-perfect album (Btmter) and although they may now be dead, Mould proved tonight that he has plenty of vigour and strength left in him, that no matter what his next project, he will be worth watching.

irvana’sMTVU@~t3$ album remains their finest work because with that release, Cobain and company demonstrated that there was far, farmoretotheirsongsthanlyrical angst buried behind layers of guitars. By stripping the songs down to their bare necessities, the band demonstrated that the construction of their songs was inventive, their melodies were original and their lyrics were more than the sex/death poetry typical of too many bands.

Since
then, some of Mould’s best work
(including his (arguably) best post-IX song “If I Can’t Change Your Mind”) has relied on nothing more than Mould and an acoustic guitar. This is surprising considering that the rest of his reputation rests largely upon being really, really loud. His recent appearance at Lee’s Palace demonstrated a strange fusion betweenMouH’s softer side and his tendency to play the majority of his songs at the maximum possible volume. Pounding his 12 string Yamaha (?!) like a construction worker trying to tear up asphalt, Mould provided a solid oven&w of his entire career to a captivated, sold-out audience. Opening with WorkhoE’s “wishing Well” Mould set the tone for the rest of the concert: hard, fast guitar work and singing that was essentially shouting. Although at times the songs tended to tielt into each other, the performance was so obviously heartfelt, it was obvious that Mould was just pouring as much raw emotion into each song as possi-
ble. By the end of the third song “Needle hits E,” sweat was pouring from Mould’s face. Mould was in a surprisingly talkative mood. Considering the fact that he uttered nothing but a lukewarm “Thanks” at the end of his last show with Sugar at Fed Hall, Mould’s jokes about driving on the Gardiner expressway, his inability to kill Husker Dti when he should have, and the smoke in Lee’s killing his eyes were extremely well-received. With over fifieen albums of original material to choose from, Mould did an admirable job of choosing some of his best work. Sugar material and solo songs such as “Explode and Make Up” and Voison Years” were given a completely new life and performed like Mould actually cared and meant what he was singing about, but it was Husker Dii songs that the audience really wanted to hear. Mould placated the crowd, perfiorming four IX numbers: “Celebrated Summer,” “Chartered Trips, ” Kl Apologize,” and

Material from their 1993 album UBGO~ went over well, as did “1 Don’t Believe” and of course, the big hit from lV&ev, Blitieq Btim + Peel ‘What Do I Have to Do?” Now the crowd waited anxiously for IME. Fourteen-yearold girls pushed their way through the crowds on the second level, desperately searching for the stairs that would lead them just a little closer to Edwin and the boys. IMotherEarth did not disappoint. With the addition of an extra percussionist to complement Christianondrums,theytookthe stage and started to rock.

jams. Edwin had a madie toss him a couple different kinds of shakers and he would shake away while the rest of the band jammed. The extra percussionist fit in perfectly, playing cymbals, toms, shakers and bongos. The hits from both D& and the latest Scenery ad Firb were played, and I gotta say, Edwin knows how to work the crowd. He didn’t announce many songs, but he announced “One More Astronaut” because he knew people were waiting for it and they’d go insane. Sure enough, they did. Not surprisingly, they also went insane for the latest single Vrrother Sunday.” Yevitaten was the last song before IME took a quick breather, only to come back for four more songs, one of which was an excellent cover of LcExit” by U2. I Mother Earth have come a long way from the rockers they started out as. Their songs are solid and they put on a damn good live show. If they come around again, check them out.
While we spoke, a steadystreamofyoungkids awkwardly approached Christian for autographs, consistently ignoring Bruce. As Christian happily obliged each autograph seeker, Bruce would jokingly complain, “What about me?” I asked Bruce about IME’s style of writing. IMEisoneofthefewbands where the lyricist is not the singer and does not write the accompanying music and melody. Sounds confusing? Bruce explained that Jag (the guitarist) comes in with a specific idea which is then taken further in practice. Jag will then finish off the song, working with Edwin (the lead singer) to develop a melody. “That’s when the lyrics start coming in. Usually we get a melody first, then Chris will sit down and put lyrics to it and that will melt together and evolve further af& that.” Jag continued: The songs seems to lyrically not be disjointed at all though.” Bruce: “Christian tapers the lyrics to music and melody. Hey Chrislast photograph before would you say that when Joe Ptier’s his tragic and inexpkable death. you are writing the lyrics, you kind of cater them to photo by Joe Palmer the melody?

ou kind of have expect a movie with criticisms ranging from masterpiece to depravity and which received an award at the Cannes Festival for “Audacity, Originality and Daring to leave quite an impact on anyone who watches it.

He creates a beautifully macabre world of concrete and chrome, draping it with ’ suffering and human flesh. Even though many of the scenes occur within cars, there is never once the feeling of claustrophobia or enclosure. The whole film has a very intense pallor to it; intentionally remaining on the verge of crossing the thin line of utter bad taste but never stepping over.

it was intentional.
Since the movie was shot in and around Toronto, it’s interesting to recognize many of the locales, although at the same time it creates some interesting inconsistencies. The apartment of Spader and Unger overlooks the cloverleaf of the 400 and Don Valley, but when they go to their cars in the garage, you can seethe Gardiner inthe background. That and apparently Vaughan lives in the Toronto Food Bank. Ok, maybe the rest of the world won’t clue into that, but I would guess that Southern Ontario might.

The chemistry between the band members can be felt in the audience as each of the players bounce off each other

Indeed, the Bili King quartet works beautifilly together, with solos concentrating mainly on saxophonist Kurt McDonald and King himself, all solidly backed by Archie Alleyne on drums and Shelley Berger on bass, The first number ends and the quartet has firmly established themselves, but still no signs of Silver.

special to Imprint The “1Man With The Fun” is nobody other than Maxi Priest, out with his 8th album since he first entered the music industry in 1985. He was originally a professional carpenter who built sound systems for various bands and singers. He got his big break in 1985 while he was on tour with I)hilip Levy, Tippa Irie and Smiley Culture and since then he has become the famous international reggae star that he is today. Maxi Priest’s latest chart topper ‘7’bat Girl” was produced jointly by Priest and Shaggy (‘Vh Carolina”). 7’hat Girl” is the
anything like it since U2’s 2% Unfiwflf%t~ble Fire. %xr” and aGirl Stand Still” are two great examples of this, but “Saccharine” is probably the best. I had to go back and check the liner notes just to se&I’d missed the big thank you tci Daniel Lanais. The idea of releasing an album OfBsides is agoodone. It’s a hellof a lot cheaper than buy&g every single just so you can hear all the B-sides . Some mav consider it a sort of cop-out (especially if’tiey already boughtall the sing&) but I like it.’ I mea& sure it’s a poor substitute for a new album, but it’s a lot better than nothing. Like Cuts and Dogs is a solid compilation of Catherine Wheel’s material. Obviously, it would be a little foolish to expect too many singles from it (though ccHeal 2” has been releised), so vou shduld just go out and buy it.
first single released from this album and has topped the club charts and stayed within the top ten during the month of August. The album has another dance version of ~atGirl”(adultradiomix)onitforthose who want to buy a single but don’t want to shell out all that money just for a single, The title track isn’t so hot (actually, it sucks), but the album has a neat Maxi-style version of “Message in a Bottle” (originally written by Sting during his c’police” years) to compensate. There’s also a track called YHappyDays,“byPriestandChakaDemus &Pliers(myfa~~~~egroup),which I expected a lot from., but that was a clisappointment. Overall, the album doesn’t have a very strong set of tracks but it does have a pod variety of rhythms from slow groove and reggae to pop-ballad and R&B funk. This collection is detitely colourful, as illustrated in the cover booklet and has at least two more tracks that will do well in the CharcS. ’ I predict that “Ain’t It Enough,” a slow Boyz II Men type of ballad, wont Let It Slip Away,” a funky dance groove, and “Golden Teardrops,” another slow groove, will make it somewhere substantial on the charts. Unlike most reggae artists, Maxi has a good balance between melody and rhythm which makes himmore appealing to mainstream audiences. As far as “Man WitbThe Fun” goes, get it if you’re into reggae (even though the album does have a poppy side) or if you really, really, really like mat Girl”-it’s a better deal than buying the single.
by Mdt Feldman special to Imprint The title of the group may be deceiving, but their sounds are amazing. A rockabilly guitar player who has opened for the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Rolling Stones, six-string guru Brian Setzer is in command of a seventeen-piece orchestra that produces an eciectic mix of jump blues, jazz and swmg. This album has been on heavy rotation in my stereo ever since its fmt playing. Always skeptical of artists who cover reknowned musicians of the past, I was not disappointed as I dug into G&w SlinJt+s lead track, Setzer’s take of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s YIhe House Is Rockin’.” Woven with bright horns and skillful guitar is a fme cover of a great song, Ifyou were to look up “Jump Blues” in the dictionary, it should point you in the dirtionofthealbum’ssecondsong,“Hoodoo Voodoo Doll.” Setzer re-defines the limits of an orchestra, mixing p0werfL.l guitar work with energetic saxophone and horns that are sure to pump you up. Taking you straight into the heart of New Orleans on a dark night are the slow, meltic crooners ‘Town Without Pity”
and “My Baby Only Cares For Me.” Ringing with defiance is the album’s fourthtra&withitsheavy,southcmgroove reminiscent of George Thorogood and the Destroyers. mere ain’t a damn thing the cops can do,” declares Setzer in this distinctly rockabilly tune, “there’s a rumble in Brighton tonighp. The female backing vocals and jazz guitar of “Man With the Magic Touch” give this work another dimension while “Sammy Davis Ci)r features Setter playing an acoustic guitar on a slow number that rounds out a fabulous album. Setzer uses all seveflteen pieces of his orchestra to their fullest potential, producing a raw, live sound that is a rare find. A mellow, &l&out blues album &is is not, If you’re looking for something to induce dancing, you’ve found the right disc. The fhure of blues and rockabillyguitar will no doubt fature the innovative sounds of Brian Setxr and his big band. Venture into the musical unknown and give this CD a listen-you won’t be disappointed.
by Justin Midhews Imprint staff The best thing about the new Robyn Hitchcock album is the liner notes. Where one would usually expect the same assortment ofthank-you’s, lyrics and creclits there is, instea a short story (entitled ti Elrjcir)writtenbyHitchcockinMa&19%. As the storystarts, Hitchctiawalcens with vague memories of having died. We lookthroughhiseyesatthesurrealsurroundings of this other world he fmds himself’in. It is not long before he judges his life (the taste of it, that is) by eatinghis tombstone. Happily, his l&tastes brilliant. The story continues with more surreal imagery and seemingly meanin@ descriptions. He sees the piano being played inside the cat woman’s head. He sprouts a third eye that seesmore than just whafs on the surface, and of course, he drinks the Mm Elixir, and eventually comes to the realization that “everybody’s in showbiz, everybody3 a judge.” Oh yeah, there’s a CD that comes with the story. If you’ve ever heard Robyn Hitch&k, then you know exactly whatto expect; there ark no surprises h&e. He’s primarily a guitarist and vocalist. His music is typica guitar based folksy s&with very melodic vocals, and, of course, a harmonica. This is a very down to earth somding album, free fioin studio gadgets that can get carried away with. some m&m It’s the perfect CD for the fan of honest, unpretentious folk melodies.

This

is
much superior to his last, yet remotely follows the same formula. The album starts with four amazir@y catchy songs, and progressively gets more abstract until he closes with an acoustic ballad. Some ofthe songs dabble into the Moog catalog, while others, like “Sissyneck,” have a def’mite countrylike folkiness to them, and become greater and greater upon i=ach successive play. Tbewiderangeofinstrumentsusedon the album allows Beck to deviate from the norm without sounding so abstract that the album is totally u&tenable. The only thing missing Tom this album is another SNightmare Hippy Girl,” but I don’t think that she would have liked what Beck has done to her hippy music anyway.
