Big Sugar w/ Jordan Patterson and the DC Hurricane

mm Thursday, January 23

by Amberlee Howlett

Imprint staff

anada's &st dressed and loudest band rocked the Lyric last Thursday night. That's right, the Lyric -a great concert-ping alternative from the usual venue just don.:^ the street. "We like our new home in Kitchener," commented the dapper Gordie Johnson who was decked out in his typical Hugo Ross attire, slicked back 'do and shades. Jordan Patterson and the DC Hurricane jammed out their James Brownish bluesy tunes with many ta..ty licks as they prepared the crowd for Big Sugar. Although they were obviously not concerned with their image and appearance (those snake skin cowboy boots have got to go), something the incomparably classy Big Sugar have become known for, Jordan Patterson and the DC Hurricane easily jogged old fans' memories about what Big Sugar used to sound like - the 500 Pounk sound. So what is the Big Sugar sound now? Heavy-duty rock, blues, reggae, hnk, rockabilly, power pop - loud guitar howling through an amplifier on the verge of blowing up. And even louder is what the audience got after Gordie complied to a request to turn it up. A broken string (on one of the six guitars used during the show) and a snapped drum stick didn't even make the boys or audience blink twice. Gordie didn't even take a break until an hour and twenty minutes into the set to swig some ginger ale. Paul Brennan took a short leave from the skins to fan down Kelly Hoppe (touted as the band's multi-instrumentalsecret weapon) and reggae bassist Gany Low was groovin' steadily all night. The precision and tightness of these musicians were astounding as they rocked the crowd for more than two hours. The bombastic rock show left older fans missing the hush of the crowd during "Wild Ox Moan" and the other traditional blues songs that appear on500 PounAr like "Sugar in My Coffee." The younger fans, on the other hand, were overwhelmed by the performance which was dominated with heavy songs from their fourth album Hemi- Vision like "Diggin' a Hole" and "If I Had My Way." They pummeled each other in

a moshmg fienzy. This crowd was so busy doing its own thmg, no one even noticed when Gordie hinted that "no one paid cover tonight to get kicked in the head." The guy bleeding fiom the corner of-his eye probably wished the crowd had heeded to the hint. I guess the barricades and security guards manning the stage weren't as unnecessary as I initially thought. Well, one security guard's persistence at pissing off a certain press member by intentionallyobstructingthe view of the band and attempting to get his huge head in every picture instead of controlling the damn crowd was a little unnecessary. The stimulating Big Sugar experience should not be missed, but act fast because it won't be long before these guys are arena-bound -they're playing loud enough to be heard in an arena already.

Although the Ontarion is a non-profit organization there is a misconception that it generates revenue. CSA Chair Malv d Williams noted that “it’s unprecedented for one student organization to seek the withdrawal of funding from another student organization.” Hanlon insists that Interhall is not intending to destroy the Ontarion. “We need that paper; it’s a huge part of the community. We just wanted to give students the choice l” Megan Edwards, President of the Board of Directors of the Ontarion says that ‘&the Board of Directors is currently working on a number of initiatives to make the paper more accessible and accountable to students.”

In the future,

the Ontarion

Board

will also be working

on the development of an official grievance policy allowing anyone who has a complaint about the content ofthe paper to oficially voice concerns. The policy is meant to be in pIace

by the end of the semester.

When asked if he believed that Intcrhail had thoroughlv e considered all of the possible ramifications of a j~s’ vote, including the possible death of the Ontarion, Hanlon would only say that when he had approached Drew Edwards to find out the level ofstudeni- funding, Edwards had indicated that he didn’t believe the paperwould dio if that funding was lost. Hanlon admitted that Interhall had never requested to see specific financial records of the Ontarion. Although Interhall rcpresentativcs cancelled a mecting scheduled for January 27, r&sing to participate in any type of negotiation, they later agreed to the January 29 meeting which resolved the issue. The Ontarion Board ofDirectors is now responsible for exploring the possibility of changes and tying to include more students ,in the process. -

Why did you want to be VP Internal as opposed to any other position in the Feds? Well, I started out my Feds career as a Science counselor and I felt that I couldn’t really get as invoiced as I’d like to be. I thought that being on the executive would be a good way to get more involved. I pess I picked VP Internal because it’s the newest job... it

that’s where can be best utilized.

ear Seein as this is your fist at rrdir do you feel co& B ent that yaL know enough about the organization to be holding an executive position?

I think that over the nest f’our months by working with Julie [Primeaul I will bc full!r qualified to take over the job when Mav comes round and when it’s my turn. That’s the whole point &f halving the election so far in advance of the turn-over is that I can follow her around and learn esactly what she’s doing so that I’m completely prepared to take over the job and I’m not walking into anything I’m not ready for. So what are you doing with Julie right now to prepare for the position? Well, for instance, we went to all the various clubs, societies and services ofices and I basically got a feel for where evenlthing is. Over the next four montks I guess I’ll just be getting in farther and farther into each club, society and service and continuing the work that Julie’s been doing now.

Sta+g warm and dr!~ is the goal here, and is critical for comf&table riding in this Januallr weather. It is important to keep in mind, however, that riding is physical exercise and generates considerable body heat, so it is important not to overdress. As a general rule, keep sour estremities warm from the start, but underdress your core. The more

you sweat, the colder you will be. Layering is a great way to ensure comfort. Start with a thin layer: a tee or lightweight shirt, then a heavier sweater, finishing off with a windproof sheil.

Albania - Hundreds of thousands of Albanians fell victim to the pyramid scheme this month. Pyramid schemes are those that claim to make huge profits on investments for all those that buy into it. The catch is that it only works if people are buying into it. The minute people expect returns on their investments, it falls apart. Too many Albanians sold their homes and livestock to i&t in these private funds. Last week, two of the f&ds failed and Albanians objected. The result has been severe protests against the government. Although the government denies invoivement, commticials promoting the hnds were rcportcdly shown on state t&vision. Many Albanians interpreted this as state endorsement. Algeria - A gay Algerian, who claimed that his life was in danger because of his sexual orientation, has become the first person to win political asylum in France on these grounds. L. Faysal had won refugee sratus last month after being beaten and threatened with death in Algeria. France’s Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons agreed to grant asylum afier several French AIDS and homoscsual organizations supported his request.

pathy. It’s a word that appeared 011 the cover of the last edition of this very paper. It’s been tossed round a lot lately, especiallv I considering the recent acclamation of all four Federation of Students’ executive positions. But I just don’t buy it. I’ve been hearing about how apathetic students are since the first year of my university career in 1992. During that There ‘s r;lo five year period, I have been lucky enough to be involved with things iike the Federation Gf Students, clubs, the Turnkey desk, and lots of other things that go on at WW all of the time. I have seen students who put in hours and hours of their own time el’ery week, on top of their classes and course work, to make their time here at UW more fun, more productive. I’ve seen people who volunteer gain skills and create jobs for themselves; I’ve seen people nearly burn out from too much involvemerit. This past year I saw first hand how much hard work goes into Fiosh- Week, how students have railied in sup601~ of unions and against the changes made by our provincial government. These people are far from apathetic, and there are many, many of them. Now, you could say that I h&e been privileged to be part of the most active and interesting groups on campus. I would definitely agree. And to be perfectly honest, I got involved in lots of these things because I enjoyed them; likely that’s why most people do - but they have the benefit of mnking this campus a better place to be for all of their hard work. I also know that some people don’t have time to be involved, even if they really wish they could. Many of US have to work part-time jobs during school to pay for our

fmprint,

education and lking expenses. Many of us are finding that the work load is getting heavier. Many of us are just plain working harder in order to find something that sets us apart in a job market that we are constantly being told is like a desert. Many of us look at the things we care about and see that there is much work to be done, and feel overwhelmed by it all. A&r aH, if )fou are constantly need to being tyld that students are so apathetic that you are the 0llZy one who cares enouEh to do anv-

Everyone has the right to decide whether or not to be involved. But as Imprint dearly loves to say, )rou gotta be in it to change it. -If you see something that irks you, or something that you would love to do, make some noise about it. You arc Likely to find that about ten other students feel the same way. And if ):ou want to be apathetic, do it the best way you know how! Refrain from caring about aqthing! Don’t complain that there’s n&itifl to do; that no one ever thinks about what yuzi want; that the administration is dicking you around. Remember, you arc apathetic. That means you just don’t care.

number of UW students who happen to go through the same ordeals that you describe, and they don’t seem to bitch and complain to the point where they quit school. So you want to have fun, do you? Go right ahcad, but realize that fun is not a constant in the real world. Hell, most of the students here attend for the education that UW provides, even if the education in question is not “fun.” In the Math Facult\, for example, all Math students are rcquireh to take ten “core” courses. Considering most of us arc in for CS, taking three calculus and three algebra isn’t exactly “fun,” but we get through it one way or another, bitching as we go, but not quiting school becmse of it. And do you know why? Because we know that as soon as we can get through this hell of math, we can get into more interesting topics which we will find “fun.” But like most things in life, we have to take our ccbrusselsprouts” before we can have any dessert. Pity. Other faculties are no exception, but I’m not familiar with them so -1 mron’t trv to make any statements about them. However, in short, I must admit that you obviously haven’t given your education much thought. I mean, if you had, you’d have realized that you have to do some work while you’re in university, if that be in a field lab or reading a textbook to regurgitate it for an exam. It may not seem to be the same thing, but it is, You don’t like that? Too bad. The rest of realihr will pretty much treat you the same way.

In response to the article by Traq Hunt entitled, “I Have A Dream” regarding the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. I must say that MS, Hunt has presented a typically one-sided picture of this man. To read her remarks, you’d think he was a can&date for sainthbod, rcalitv is far difrerent.

when,

in fact, the

in the U.S.

were totally opposed to granting a national holiday to this man when not even Washington, Jefferson, or Lincoln have holidays (Washington and Lincoln now share the generic-sounding President’s Da\r). Let’s state some facts about &is man. “Martin Luther King” was born Michael King in 1929. EIis father, a black preacher kr;own at the time only as “Daddy King,” decided to name himself after the Protestan t reformer Martin Luther. He declared to his congregation that the\? \\‘ere to refer to him as “Martin Luther King” and to his son Michael as “‘Martin Luther Ktilg, Jr.” None of the changing of names was ever legalized in court. To this day, he is still Michael King. So, the man never even used his legal name. According to researcher Michael Hoffman, the first public sermon that King ever gave in 1947 was plagiarized from a sermon by clergyman Harry Emerson Fosdick entitled, “Life Is V/hat You *Make It .” This comes from testimony from King’s best friend at the time, Reverend Larry Williams. Many other ofGal documents and biographies of King’s life have proven that King repeatedly indulged in plagiarism in his writings and speeches. Regarding King’s Ph.D, even a leftist academic sympathetic to King named David Garrow statesthat he cheated his way to his Ph.D. using plagiarized documents and states that “King’s academic compositions especially at Boston University were almost without exception little more than summary descriptions and comparisons of other’s writings.” So, this “Dr.” King was a fraud and phony in his academic life. Anyone who isn’t utterly brainwashed can easily find numerous books and fully documented biographies which discuss these facts. So much for this man’s sterling character and sense of morality. As far as “Martin Luther’s” plitical persuasion goes, it is a well-known fact that he was a Communist and Marxist. In 1957 he attended a meeting at an institution known as the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee. The Highlander Folk School was a Communist front, which was founded by Myles Horton (Communist Party Organizer for Tennesse). At this meeting, these “peace lovers” planned their agenda to initiate riots in Southern states in the U.SKing and his cronies could have cared less about nonviolence. The U.S. was ripped apart by violence because of the actions of King and his cohorts, who wanted to undermine the social fabric of the U.S. vi;hile mouthing phony words about “love,” “peace,” and

is of

Lcbrotherhood.” King stood by while cities exploded. In 1957, King founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and packed it full of known Communists, such asReverend Fred Shuttlesworth, who was the president

for an identified

Com-

munist front known as the Southern Conference Educational Fund. King ,was accused of embezzling substantial amounts of money from SCEC to pay for liquor and prostitutes.

If Ring’s political/academic corruparen’t enough to leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth, his drunken sex parties in hotel rooms which lasted several days should remove the halo from his head permanentlv. According to eyewitnesses, “Dr.” King spent his last night on earth at the Lorraine Motel having sex with two women and physically beating a third. I hope that in the future, when Ms. Hunt goes to write a “puff piece” about “Martin Luther King, Jr,” that she takes into account the whole story, and not just the parts that make her feel warm and cozy. People in the U.S. and around the world were horribly misled about this man, his agenda and what he really wanted. The reality was far different. It is my hope that one day the national holiday for this corrupt, immoral individual will be done away with because he was a blight and a disgrace to the American people. tion

And the public takes it hook, line and sinker, because they don’t know any better. I urge all of you readers who have access to the World Wide Web to visit the Zundel site:. See for yourself how the Canadian government is treating a law-abiding citizen. It does not matter whether Zundel’s view regarding the Holocaust is closer to the truth, or if it is the Establishment’s xx-sion. That is not the issue. If you are indeed interested in the ‘debate, each WWW page on the Zundelsite ofi;rs a link to the Nizkor site so that an alternative view can be explored. Don’t let the gwemment think for jrou.

Being connected indirectly with the tobacco industry, as EVIL as it is, k not a valid reason to resign or be summarily dismissed. If this was the case, then everyone who works in a convenience store, grocery store, for a freight company, in manufacturing, (yes, who do youthinkmakes the machinery for the EVIL tobacco merchants? > etc., etc., should get sacked. And promptly. That would mean a rather large lot of unemplo)rcd people, wot? My advice to the concerned Terry Polevov is to accept the fact that life is harsh, and not evcqone agrees with him.

To the Editor,

A Fed Hall Kcfcrendum. What a great idea, in concept. The reality is an embarrassment to student politics. Vote Yes, pay more, who knows what \WI get. Vote No, continue to pay the mortgage, and Fed Hall may be a McDonald’s franchise in the blink of an eye. What kind of choice is that? No wonder no clear supporters IMY come forward for either side. kkr wonder why student apthy . runs rampant &ring clections. We all agree that somcthing hx to be done about Fed Hall. It seems Iike bitching is noiv the num her one uni~~ersity pastime. However, this is not the WAY to go about it. The bar is nou! tu&ing a profit, so why shut it down now? Let’s not stop there, because Fed Hall still remains flawed and Fed 10 1 provides an example of this. Half an hour to get in, while the line continually stopped for no apparent reason. Don’t eve11 bother to tm and check your coat.Couldn’;get a drink because there were usually only two hartenders per bar (not including when they shut down the various bars to get change). The D J, however, remains as the weakest point of the whole operation. “PIay a request? I don’t have nearly enough time.” Yet we heard songs replajred and others that have been bgaten to death. This problem does not require a grand expenditure to correct.

SAC to the rescue? To the Editor, Today I was in Needles Hall applying fi)r jobs and noticed one ofthe SAC slogans on the wall, “because if you have a problem, stop whining and do something” or something to that extent. I am interested to know what they expect me to do. I am a 2B knvironmental Science student. Last year was the first year k)r my program as a Coop program, and it was learned rather quickly that the transition had not been smooth. It was discovered at Christmas that the program had not been on the list sent out to employers (i.e. they had no way of asking fi,r us because they didn’t know we existed). This alone is a pretty big deal, but we were aIso presented with an attitudes like: cLwedon’t want your program”, “you can’t get hired, ” “you are too multi-disciplinary, ” and “why even bother?” by the coor-

dinators who were supposed (and I stress supposed) to be finding us jobs. Not only are we not too multi-disciplinary (we have all the qualifications of most frost year science programs), the environmental field is one of the largest scientific employers in this part of the country. Anyway, tier a few months of being fmtrated md misled by the folks in Co-op, I got fed up and sent e-mail to SAC listing my complaints and concerns (about one person in particular). The SAC response was to forward that e-mail to the very person I had been discussing (even when it was obvious I had not intended for it to be sent there) and let it drop. 1 had a very embarrassing meeting with this person,, who let me know that they had seen my thoughts, and that they were not particularly impressed. A year later, many of the problems with myI program have been solved, but no thanks to SAC, it is the fact that there were so many of us complaining to so many people so often, along with the fact that many new people moved into positions of power in Co-op that helped our program. I would be interested to hear SAC’s ideas on what “getting something done” is. If it is writing them a letter and letting them know of concerns, I’ve already done it, and it got me the shaft. If it is doing something myself and letting them take the credit, I don’t quite think that sounds right. It sounds like SAC works great until they actually have to do something, and then they just get defensive and start insulting their critics.

For the most part, I like the fact that is a pleasant, mild-mannered country, where the worst sort of political violence is shouting in the House of Commons. It doesn’t always make for riveting political commentary, but I’d rather be here than the Gaza strip, China or Northern Ireland. It is because of this that I’d like to see someone on Parliament Hill get some balls for once and deal quickly and harshly with any Bloc QuebCcois MI? who advocates potentially violent treason, Recently, Intergovernmental Affairs IMinister Jacques Brassard strongly advocated the preparation of an Armed Forces for the dav when Quebec secedes, saving d that it would be irresponsible not to have all bases covered. Exactly what he’s planning on doing with a bunch of guvs with guns, Brassard wouldn’t say. * - But he’s not the first, nor the worst, offender. Shortly before the last referendum, then-Bloc defense critic Jean Jacob contacted various Canadian Forces personnel based in Quebec and asked them to be ready to defend their “new country” if the “Yes” side won. His actions were subsequently investigated by a Commons committee, but only after any reference to treason had been omitted from the motion to conduct the investigation. I That’s crap. Try that &anvwhere else in the world and you get one thing: a bullet in Canada

the head. Attempting to incite treason is treason. You don’t have to kill him, but jail would be good. Part of Jacob’s statements may be in response to claims by the Partitionists, who want to secede from Quebec and remain in Canada if Quebec secedes. The Partitionists want the Canadian army ready to defend their Anglophone territories against any attempts by Quebec to enforce their secession. I totally agree. What the he1 use is an army if it doesn’t defend its own territory? Not surprisingly,. Premier Lucien Bouchard disagrees. He said “the only way to stop democracy in Quebec is to do something like partition.” That’s crap too. If Quebec can secede from Canada based on a vote of Quebeckers, then why can’t a part of Quebec secede based on a vote of the people that live there? As always, the debate over Quebec secession will drag on because no one will commit to anything, except the Partitionists who& want their government to commit to defending their right to remain part of Canada. The Feds won’t say yesor no to the idea, and the Bloc won’t even officially admit to their plan to start an armed forces of their own. Ar the very least, the Federal government should commit to dealing with treason as any government in their right mind would - quickly arid severely.

Justbecause the goverhment haselected hot to cut our funding for next vear doesn’t mc‘an we are safe from tuition increases. As &Imatter of fAct, we can espect the government to make an announcement about tuition sonic time in the next couple of weeks. Speculations onannouncements of this kind always range from the optimistic to the absurd. Optimistically, we can expect another lo-25 per cent increase. On tile absurd side, perhaps a freeze. If that is the case,then the university administrators have been singularly unsuccessmi at lobbying the government Their lobby group, the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), has been iiterally begging for tuition increases and deregulations for years. Of course, they didn’t bargain that when they finally got a bit of deregulation they would also get a whopping cut. Nobody was really prepared for this kind of government. Although, if you opened your eyesand looked to the west, you’d see a guy called Klein with remarkably similar tastes to our very own Mike Harris. All the literature and assumptions regarding tuition fees are being pushed to the limit by higher and higher fees across the country. As a society we have come to question the practice of subsidizing education. Generally public funding to PSE can be rationalized based on two functions. Firstly, we expect society to pay for the positive externalities of PSE. The CCOnomic impact of university on the community is significant. For example, CCKJ estimates that for every dollar spent four dollars are generated for the local economy. Additionally, the higher employment rates

or ext. 2340

for PSE graduates saves the governnlent money in unemployment. For the most part, we observe PSE as a public investment worth protecting. Secondly, we value accessibilirv. Tuition is regarded by most asa barrier to PSE. The higher the tuition ostensibly the greater the barrier. It can also be argued that if no public funds were spent directly on PSE, a comparable amount would be spent on student aid to maintain accessibility. This second rationale is less tenable and problematic then the first. If we sug~ZX that the government fkd PSE in order to preserve accessibility, then any level of tuition would be arbitrary and would continue to present a barrier. This agreement is often used by the Canadian Federation of Students to support a policy of zero tuition. If we assume that the public shouId pay for the value-added of PSE, it logically follows that students should also pay for their private benefits. It might seem pragmatic to measure _ the proportion of benefits shared by societyI and the individual in order to determine an appropriate cost distribution. This proposition isextremely difficult considering that most of the public benefits are externalities and perhaps virtually impossible to measure accurately. This brings us back to where we started. The Feds have been discussing tuition over the last couple of months, I will be presenting a paper at our next council meeting February 9, 1997 at 12:00 p.m. in the Student Life Center. You can come and speak for yourself! Don’t let .lrour opinions be acclaiked.

It is a tragedy that the Canadian public is misinformed about the plight of Chiapans who inhabit SouthernMexico. Most Canadians have the impression of Chiapans being just another band of rebel Mexican Indians who are obsessedwith revolutionary Manist rhetoric and desire to overthrow the existing government. To a large degree, these are misconceptions. It is important to establish how the Chiapans turned to violent action against the centril government. The State of Chiapas h3s long been called, “a rich land of poor people.” It is rich in abundant resources and yet, ironically, abundant in poverty and m3ss misery. The Chiapas accounts for just under three per cent of Me~ico’s population, but produces five per cent of Mexico’s total petroleum production and 12 per cent of its natural gas. The Chiapas produces a startling 13 per cent of MeIxico’s corn production and 46 per cent ofMexico’s principal export cropcorn. Chiapas is also home to half of Mexico’s hydroelectric power production. Thus, we see C hiapas as being a major producer cznd contributor to the o~rall Mexican economy. Now, this is where the ironies begin. Despite Chiapas’ hydroelectric production, onlv. one in three households in the state have electricitv,. Fewer th3n half of all Chiapdanecans have accessto

meat, despite Chiapas beef-producing economy. Only 58 per cent of households have accessto running water. Literacy is recorded as 70 per cent. i&lexico’s nation31 average is 87 Fr cent. Chiapas lags behind in such economic indicators as per capita income and accessto quality education and has high rates of infant mortalityThe central problem, however, remains the concentration of wealth, power and resources in the hands of the afHuent classes. A tiny farming and ranching elite commands much of the state’s best arable lands and dominates its political structure. The richest 0.15 per cent ofcofiee growers own more th3n 12 per cent ofchiapan coEee-producing land. The small circle of landinos (non-indigenous) ftiies control large tracts ofgood ranch land. The growth of ranch lands h3s or&r worsened the problem. hs it stands, 45 per cent of Chiapas is used as cattle pastureland. These industries do nothing for the impoverished Natives who are forced out of their communities as the rich ranchers buy up good ktnd that could be used for small-scale f&ming to feed the Chiapan families. In other words, the problems confronting the Chiapans is that they don’t see any of the wealth that their state produces. It ail goes to the rich families. The Chiapans were hopeful

that the election of Lazaro Cardenas in 1929 would bring economic advancement. Tl-ie PRI promised to introduce real land reform in Mexico. Thus, from 1934 to 1940, one tenth of Mexico’s land was redistributed to pmrer peasants and the indigenous communities (Chiapas). In the years following the Cardenas administration, the pace of reform has slowed considerably . Peasant and indigenous uprisings exploded throughout the 1970s. To pacify the Chiaprins, Prcsidcnt Luis Echeverria (1970-76) began reforming again. Up until recently, reforms have slowed again. This is where the Zapatistas, a peas3ntbased group comprised of Chiapans tired of being exploited, took up arms. Taking their name fromEmiliano Zapata, the leader of 3 peasant army during the Mexican Revolution. He taught that “the land belongs to those who urork it.” Prior to Januar): 1994, few had heard of the Zapatistas. Faced with enormous economic incqualitics and disadvantages, the degradation of their land and the pillaging of their natural resources, the Zapatistas revolted. Their uprisings brought international attention to their plight. Eventually, their calls for land and election reform were heard bv the government who began miCCtingwith leaders of the Zapatistas. The final resolution remains to be seen.

If you enjoy being a heterosexu31 and wish to remain one, but have somehow managed to find yourself in a gay bar (either because a friend dragged you there, or because you mist&k “Club Renaissance” for an expensive French restaurant) just follow these handy tips and no one will suspect that you may be a member of the “third sex”: For Straight Men: IDO

White men can’t jump and straight men can’t dance. We’ll spot you right away. Only Tom Cruise can pull off the air guitar. Par Straight Women: *DO wear frosty pink lipstick, high heels, and a tight shirt: that shows off your chest. *DO have big hair with lots of hairspray. l DO giggle. A lot. .DO NOT wear plaid, combat boots or funky old men’s hats

backwards (if you don’t know what kind of hat I mean, it’s safest to skip the hat 3s an accessory all together). .DO NOT take your femininity to extremes. If you wear anything that is too pastel and frilly it may trigger traumatic memories for dykes whose parents once forced them to wear such dressesastoddlers. You never know what those unnatural and mannish lesbians may do when provoked. For All Heterosexuals: .DO cower in the corner. Your discomfort is telltale. .DO NOT make eye contact with anyone.

*DO NOT go to the bathroom alone. Understand that you’re fresh meat. Venturing into the washroom unescorted is an open invitation to our infknous and voracious appetite for public sex. You will be followed and

jumped by a mass of desperate homos. Everybody knows that seducing straights is our favourite past-time. Your only hope for escape if this happens is that the D. J. will decide to play” ABBA, at which point every gay man in the building will immediately rush to the dance floor (replace ABBA with Melissa Etheridge if you’re a woman in the same situation). aDO cling to 3 member of the opposite sex. While there is a shght chance that we may mistake you for an affectionate fag hag friends, it’s in your best interest to flaunt your heteroseAxualityat every opporlunity . In an emergency situation, blatant insertion of a penis into a vagina may be required to entirelv convince us. Be sure to public&e your pleasure in performing the act. Just follow these simple tips and everyone will know that you are a happy, well-adjusted heterosexual who just happens to be open-minded, is sick of being hit on all night at a regular bar or who happens to have a friend who’s gay. While we’re combating the stereotypes, we may as weli laugh at them too.

On the Information Hi&way Destination Unknown Singapore and kitchen knives made in Germany. The workers that were displaced by the machines - the tools - of the industrial revolution moved into other jobs and opportunities created as the demands of society . changed. The blacksmith is now an engineer, and the dressmaker is now a fashion dcsiEnct*.

as inseparable from industry, and eventualk from society in general, as the compute; is today. As wc’go back in histor!r we find man? instances of new technology becoming acceptable and then indispensable for society. The loom, the printing press, iron, bronze and the creation offire with flint are esampies of technologies that have fundamentally . changed the way we live our lives. Like these other technologies, the computer is a tool to be used by society for self improvemm. In tiiis sense, the computer is no difrerent than many previous technologies. Where the coliputer dif%rs from other transforming technologies is its global scope and potential for personal interaction. The initial discovery and use of iron and bronze were limited to a fairly small geographic area around ancient Mesopotamia. The industrial revolution primarily took place in Britain. The wireless radio ser\.red to make the world seem smaller, but it was not until the development of giant computer networks that the world became truly accessible to all by allowing us to interact with others on a global scale. This does not suggest that computers are a utopian solution to the many problems that society faces. Any tool can be used for purposes that are counter to the interests of society. Iron can be used to create a sword just as it can be used to create pots and pans for cooking. Gunpowder can be used to construct weapons of destruction,

or it can

displays. And although George Orwell does not refer to computers in 1984, they can certainly be used to monitor and contra1 our cvcry movement and punish us for an) deviation from laws or edicts imposed bv %ig Brother.” But computers can also b; used to free LIS from the drudgery of mun-

dane tasks and allow LIS to work in MYKS that we find most satisfjring. The question then is not what can we do with the computer; it is where we as a societ\rII n’ant to progress, In our evolution as a society, if you Fvill, the computer is the vehicle, but we are the ones in control. We do not know our exact destination, just as the first humans who used fire for warmth had no concept of using fire to smelt ores and create steel; nor any concept of harnessing the kinetic energ!; of fire and sending advanced spacecraft millions of miles through our solar system. While wc do not drive a straight and-true path to utopia, we are at least moving in the right direction, During the industrial revolution we discovered how to produce goods more efficiently than was previously possible. In the early 18OOs, Luddites banded together to destroy machinery in the testiIe industry. This backlash against mechanization in industy was partly due to the investment in capital the machines represented and partly due to the number ofworkers each machine reDlaced. ’ The information revolution is similar in many respects. Computers and technology represent a tremendous amount of capita1 investment, and the rationalization used to computerize the workplace is the efficiencies that it allows - particularly when it aUows businesses to employ fewer workers. Should we fear that jobs will be lost, in the long term, as society becomes more

dcpelldent

on the computer?

No, we should not. The industrial revolution helped to create the powerful and prosperous market economies in Europe and North America. We no longer make our own clothes or rely on the local blacksmith to craft our metjl tools. Instead we buv shirts that arc made in

But &h tlxx jd3 losses come w-tcount,lble oppormnitics for tlx flihirc. The kc\7 OpprhiJiiti~S ofthc infi)rnlation revol&on arc fin* those who crcntc ;VK~ provide the information that travels on our digital networks. Tcchnolog~~~‘~~~~n~elists talk eloqucntly ;Ibout the 500 clianncl digital television systc’ms that will soon lx a\xitable, but few q~~cstion what sa-\kes IIII~ entertainment products will be available. As Coin~~uterizfltioIi gives us ac’c’css to larger and larger digital networks, thcrc will he increased demand fix those who can create reference mxt’rials, cllt~rtainmcnt products and other scr~iccs. The opportunities available xc limited only 1 b\vr our collective im,lginations. “What about privnclr in the information age? ,” some would ask. Indeed, as computer systems store more and more information about LIS this is a valid concern. But is the threat of loss of privacy an) greater than the dehumanization of workers present in factories during the industrial revolution? Societ\r came to understand that child labour, long working hours, low wages, discrimination and lack of benefits were ultimatety harmful. Conditions have improved as society adapted to the changing environment, and such flagrant abuse of power is rare today. The threat of “Rig Brother” is very real, but concerns about privac\f , and other dehumanizing aspects of computers will be resolved as society matures. Awareness of the potential problems is the first step towards finding acceptable solutions. “May you live in interesting times,” the Chinese philosopher Conticius once said to a disciple. While the times are certainly interesting, the underlying threat of change accompanies the rapid acceptance of computerization. The computer must adapt to the demands of sociey as society adapts to life with the computer, Like those earlv humans who stood in awe of fire, we rc&gnizc the computer as a powerfU1 tool. We know not where it will take LIS in the future, but we do know that it will bring us to a better place. ‘. . . the esselz tiaf stmctwe ofsociety has nmer nhwd.

His work came to the attention ofthe Kennedy foundation, and helped to lead to the creation of the Spccial Olympics. The first Special Olympics was held at Soldier Field Tn Chicago in 1968. The following year, the Grst Canadian Special O&m pits event was held in Toronto, largely thanks to the ef?or-ts of Harry “Ked” Foster. Foster was an outstanding and successf~~l sportsman, broadcaster, businessman, and humanitarian.

From earlJ in his career he began to devote much time, ef‘fbrt, aid money to addressing the problems faced by the mentally handicapped.

fter a promising 2-1 start to the season, the Univerit\/ of Waterloo Warrior basketball-team has come crashing to earth with three straight losses, including a 67-56 rollercoaster on Wednesday night at the hands of the University of Guelph Gnrphons. * “We’& just tying to get better,” said UW head coach Tom Kieswetter. “ [Our record] is a sidebar to what we’re qing to have happen. We’ve got to pla! well fur 40 minutes first before we can expect to win.” The Warriors didn’t make it easy on them&es Wednesdq night, scoring just 22 first-half points and falling behind by 13, 35-22, early in the second half. But keyed by tough d&xc, UW reeled off a 16-2 run that finished with third-year point guard Mano Watsa &aling the ball and going in alone for the dunk to take a one-point lead, 3837. Warrior second-vear forward Mike Crosby tied the game at 56 56 with 3: 16 to play, but Guclph’s Steve Krajcarski hit a three-pointer seconds later and the Gryphons I

scored the last 1 I points, capped off with four straight free throws from Geoff MacNeii after UW rookie forward Mike Zavershnik was called for intentional and technical fouls. “It was a great second half, but at the finish, we let it get awa)$’ said UW head coach Tom &&wetter. “For about 19 minutes there, we battled and we had a chance. In the second half, we got the ball moving, we were the aggressor, but we just couldn’t finish .” Marc Rigaux had 10 points for the Warriors, and Derek Maat added 7 rebounds. For the Gryphons, four pIayers found double figures, led by MacNeil’s 14 points. Last Saturday, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks upset the VVarriors at Laurier, 85-80, just the second win over their crosstown big brothers in the past eight seasons. “We haven’t had a lot of fbn around here, so you’ll have to escusc aUthe excitement,” Laurier head coach Garv jefti-ies said. “There are some’ teams that we have to be able to not just compete with, but get wins against. l

Warriorhockeyreboundsfrom loss by Ryan “Pucks” Pyette Imprint stdf t this point in the season, the Waterloo hockey WarA iors deserve to be metaphorical&d. The team’s the T,ondon Symphony Orchestra. Waterloo suffered a disastrous beating at the hands of the mediocre Yeomen of York where every note turned sour, the pla! appeared disjointed and the sound of a 6-2 rout was unpleasing to the ear. Afterwards, the orchestra returned home and performed sweet melodic music, ringing in the ears of the philharmonics from Western and Windsor. The two perfbrmances earning plaudits and bravos, a 5-3 mesmerizing of the Mustangs and a 4-2 encore over the Lancers, corrected the loud, unsavoury noise emitted during the York fiaSC0.

The key for Maestros McKee and Cressman now is to create a

consistency that ensures all Warrior performances would earn Ijeethoven’s approval. In the Western match Friday eve, always a hard-hitting, teethgritting affair, the Warriors jumped out to an early 2-O lead and then matched the Stangs goai for goal. Mike Chambers scored two power-play markers, including the game winner seven minutes into the third, and single biscuits went to Chris Kraemer, Dave Pfohl, and Danny Mundell. Mundell’s goal appeared particularly pleasant, as he accepted a pass from Kraemer and rifled a bullet past a stunned C.J. Denomme to put the game on ice. Againsr

t’s srarting to get a little repetitive, but there are no cornplaints from the Waterloo Track and Field team members on that account. For the fourth straight meet, the Warrior and Athena athletes have put on a record performance. This time, there were 30 personal bests and five varsity records, including the women’s &20Om relay team, who shattered a 15 year-old record, set by a team comprised of three Qlympians and a Commonwealth Games team member. TWo of the McGill tjcldhouse and meet records fell aswell, as the Athenas took second place overall and the men put up their best pcrformante yet, dl the prestigious Rencontre McGill Invitational Track Meet. Coach Brent McFarlane had this to say about the team’s perf<>,rmance: “Outstanding is the only way co describe our team’s performance this past weekend. One outstanding pe&rmance was followed bv another, resulting in 30 person;1 bests.” The storvr of the dav. was the women’s 4x200m relay team.

Dillabaugh was named “Female Athlete of the Meet” for her winning performance and meet record in the 3000m (942.85, a UW varsity record, and the top time in the CIAU this year), She then ran a PB in the 4x800m rela\fr (2: 13.7), and followed that up with tin incredible PB in the 4x4OOm, to help set the UW varsity record, and vault the team to a number two ranking in the CIAU. It is noteworth?r that this superb performance, one of man} this school )~ar in both track and cross country, came one year to the day tier Dillabaugh ga\rc:birth to her first daughter! Saraa is truly an amazing woman, and an incredible athlete. Dillabaugh’s closest competition this year will come from te;lmmate LeRoy. LeRoy won the 1500m in 4:32.73, which puts her in the top three nationally. Judith also ran a PB in the 4x80Om relay (2:X3), and came from behind in her usuti aggressive fashion to secure second place, ahead of all other Canadian schools. John Lofranco ran an unbelievable PB in the 1500m, finishing up with a time of 4:09X. Lofranco also achieved a PB in the 4x8OOm (2:06), helping the team to a fifth place finish. Lynn Coon and Stephan Drew both can a PB in the IOOOm, and Brian Horgan and Cliff Johnson pushed each other to personal bests in the 600m.

respectively. Rachel Nickie and EIeather Moysc were third and fourth in the women’s 6Om, and Kachel won the 300m, edging out teammate Latoya Austin, who was second. Jill Bennett was second in the 60m hurdles and Bill Miller was third in the l~ole vault. Along with all the grear performances on the track go great peiformAnccs at practice. Despite the fact that our closest competitors all have hill time coaching staffi and great indoor trackfasilitics, Waterloo has still managed to be, on the men’s side, fierccl) competitive and on the women’s side, in the hunt f& a national title, The Athenas arc’ ranked number two in the country, just hv0 points back of the Uniwrsity of Toronto. Coach Brent McFarlane has done an outstanding job with the sprinters, and John Swarbrick and Jason Gregoire have been instrumental’with this ycds toy notch distance squad. The support of’ the ~oachcs has led to the outstanding atmosphere with this year’s group.

Wednesday dimmed the Warrior playoff hopes and the team ran into similar competitive problems on the weekend at the Dalhousie C,Lssil: irl I Ialifax, finishing sev-

Against the Lancers, one of the teams that the Warriors are fighting with for thu fourth and final playoK spot in the West Division, Waterloo came Out strong and took the first hyo games from the dazed Windsor team. But the young Warriors could not maintain their composure. ,4 quick loss in the third game, 15-2, swung the mrlmentum decidcdls in the Lancers’ &vour.

Joining Rocker in kis corner are local radio pcrsonalit& (?) Jesse and Gene of 4107, who were once again whoring themselves fc>ra little publicity. Next up came Brett “The Hitman” Hart, bragging about how he was going to win the title on Fridav night, though I thi& wi all know-he won’t. As a special bonus, George Chuvalo was presented as the special @est referee for the match, and he made sure we all knew he was authorized to use force to keep the match even. Gee, I wonder

if he’ll have to

resort to that? >*. Then, -- Tiger *__ Ah, son 00Bmed Canadian wrestler Tiger Jeet Singh was introduced and we were told he would be signing his first WWF contract in the ring during the Friday card. Wllor,p-dcy

Twenty minutes after it began, the press conference ended with a whimper. No chair throwing, no shouting. Not even an open confrontation. Except ktween Jeff and myself over where the hell the elevator was.

Legs. Mike Chambers, of the Hockey Warriors, has joined all-world centre Russ Tupling to lead the Thrown Togethei- squad. The defending A champs boast a fine lineup including hard shooting Matt Heroux and lanky defenceman Mike Tchiakrusky. The Chiefs have added depth and aggressiveness to an already proven lineup, Darren Zink (I&10=28) and Sanjay Krishnan (13-9=22) will again sutiace as a dominating force, and the signing of power forwards John Haley and Kob Vastag should add size to the team. Wily veterans Blair Mackey (23) and Steve Curich (28) bring experience, while the defence is anchored by sophomore sensation Steve Goodacre, and first round draft choice Josh Newby. Kegs with Legs, who pulled out a lIarrow victory in the B Division last season, are led by Warriors pivot Marc Cardiff and mobile defenceman Duane Johnson. The Legs strength rests with their physical play, and the addition of Tony Garland could add much needed depth to the lineup. The Kegs with Legs have an outside shot at a championship but the question mark is their ability to fill the net. Other long shots in A division are The Shockers and Ninja Banshees. The B division has been watered down by expansion and the departures of the Wiggum Chiefs, Shockers, and Kegs with Legs. The from runners include The Craz)r Pablos, Red Riders (who are led by last seasons scoring champ Tom Enright who had 32 points j> and the Beached Whales.

Thank God for sports? 1 don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get tired of all of these athletes praising God every chance they get. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with having religion in your life, but some of today’s athletes are

going ridiculously too far. How many times lately have you heard some professional athlete talking about how they thank God for everything that they’ve achieved? Teams talk about how God was with them in their vic-

tory that day or how God helped them perform well. These people seem to imply that God just said “to hell with the other team, I’m solely behind team X.” Hrnm. That doesn’t seem fair that one team should get all the divine intervention. Unless the other team was hll of atheists, Muslims, or other religions that don’t observe God, then why wouldn’t God be with them as well? What’s more, does a team of Muslims have Allah supporting them? Would a football game between Christians and Muslims be called the Holy Bowl? Am I getting ridiculous? Perhaps, then, you get

Don’t these people realize that FOX’S super duper sound equipment was picking up every single blue-streaked tirade? Ifthese people are such good Christians, then they shouldn’t be saying that stuff out- on the field. It makes them look hypocritical, and just plain stupid . Does religion even have place in sports? Religion is a sensitive issue that, whets taken an estreme, has caused many problorns the world over. Sports is a form of escapism where, for a short while, we can forget about all of the problems in our lives and il

just have fun. If sports starts bccoming a plarform on which people can discuss their religious beliefs, then how have we escaped? The gospel belongs in church, where it can be shared witll others who will celebrate it with you. This may sound strange, but we live in a time of religious diversip{. It’s a fact of life that there is no one true religion. Hence, there is no one supreme being that the whole world subscribes to. If there’s one thing that people are sensitive about, it’s having another religion pushed down their throat, especially by somebody who’s perceived to be a role model. Religion has no real place in sports, and athletes should just spread the good word on their own time to people who actually give a damn.

Women’s basketball is thriving globally, with professional leagues in man\’ European countries. Howev& in the US, the women’s game has been significantly overshadowed by men’s basketball. In the past couple of years, significant strides have been made to establish a pro league for women. That effort has produced two leagues, the American Basketball League (ABL) which is currently playing, and the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBA) which begins plalri I ng this summer. Women’s basketball is not, and will never be a mainstream sport in North America. In the end, one league may win out, or both mav die. Refdre I delve into this argument, let me take a moment to point out the positives in women’s pro leagues. The VVNBA is an off-shoot of the NBA, giving it an instant legitimacy that the ABL doesn’t have. With the NBA’s already established marketing and promotion genius, there’s a chance ;his league- could sunrive. The WNBA is composed of eight franchises, all of which are owned by the league; the players are all employed by the league, not specific franchises *The AB L? Who knows. The primary reason why women’s basketbd won’t work is that North American audiences are so attuned to the NBA game

that they won’t accept the differences between the two st&s of play. The men’s game is ali about fllash,with thundirous dunks, fast breaks and trash talking. The women’s game is much more precise emphasizing the half court game, high percentage shooting and better fundamental play. If the men’s game is the sizzle, then the women are the steak. Now, before anyone starts giving me flack, allow me to say this. I like women’s basketball much more. All the crap that’s normally associated with the NBA gets very tiring. And the play, even between evenly matched opponents is often dreadful and lopsided, In my admittedly limited experience with women’s basketball, at the NCAA level, I’ve liked what I saw. As someone who actually appreciates the basic fLlndamentals of a sport, I like to see a team actually make 50 per cent of their shots from the field. So why do I foresee doom? Well, aside from the style of play, the fact that there’s two leagues obviously says one will die. That will be the ABL. First, they are playing their games at the same time as the NBA. Do these people have a death wish? The WNBA is intentionally running its season during the summer, when the NBA action is limited to free agency and labour strife. Second, look at the franchise

locations: the AI3L has franchises Columbus, Richmond, Atl;lnta, New England, Colorado, San Jose, Portland, and Seattle. The ABL has franchises in New York, Houston, Cleveland, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Sacramento, and Utah. The WNBA has strategically placed their eight teams in markets with fairly popular NBA teams and in cases like Houston and Utah, little else. The ABL ?Well, the word ‘leftovers’ comes to mind. It comes to my attention that no other major league has a franchise in Columbus or Richmond. hid likely never will. #?he third factor going against it is the lack of name recognition. There are hundreds of thousands of people, who on any given day, could tell you the third string point guard with the NCAA’s Kentucky Wildcats. Now, find ten people who can name a single female college player. You’d be hard pressed to do it. There are no household names in women’s basketball and the could-be stars like the WNBA’s Rebecca Lobo, Lisa Leslie (who is billed as the only woman in the league who can dunk) and Shcryl Swoopes will never reach the same level as ‘Michael Jordan or Grant Hill. One final thought for the plus side, maybe Dennis Kodman could be convinced to play. He might fit in a little better. in

and the f&t that the stage w;is ~a empty did not seem to bother them at ill. The crtjwd was buzzing with anticipation and the human traf‘fic jam threatening to drive right through the bar and the bartenders right out of their minds dispersed quickly as soon as the lights dimmed. It had been quiet around Our Lad) l%xce since their mega-successful debut NalJced in 1994 and the crowd was starving tr 1get an earful from their upcomingC&qv album. And the band didn’t disappoint as their opening songs included “Automatic Flowers” and the already-popular “Supern1311's l~ead.” hmts,

Naturally though, the moshpit grew considerably in size and intensity once the better-known tunes from their debut album resonated through Fed Hall. “Supersatellite,” “Hope,” “Starseed” and especialy ‘&Birdman,” with a vibrating guitar-driven finale pushed the fans into a frenzy. Although the bouncers had their hands full keeping the surfers off the stage, the crowd kept its cool and remained peacefui throughout the night. The band continued to mix old and new pieces atid offered some promising new tracks such as “Big Bad Rocket,” “Clumsy” and “Shaky.” The variety of a genuine sound accentuated by Raine Maida’s powerfd and zealous vocals had the crowd enjoying ever)7 second of the show, Between songs, ,Maida made a good etr‘ort of including

that “it ivas written at four a.m.” Once “Julia” rang through the speakers though, most of the crowd willingly abandoned such abstract thoughts and devoted all their attention to the band’s solid petiormance.

I Fishbone w/ Race V&U920

Saturda)r, January 25 by Rob Van Kruistum Imprint staff

n a bitterly cold Saturday night in the middle of a typical Canadian winter, a strange thing happened. A concert was held at the Volcano. Now that wasn’t the strange thing. The strange thing was that Fishbone played their entire set. A couple of months back, Fishbone was at the Volcano and, angry at the feedback from the sound system, trashed the stage and left. The fans were disgruntled. Race, the band that opened for Fishbone on that fateful evening previous, again opened to an enthusiastic crowd who immediately closed in on the stage and began to dance. Angelo Moore came out and danced in front of the stage to the island beats of Race, encouraging the audience to do so as well. Race, sounding like a cross between Maxi Priest and Ice T, were able to excite the crowd

band came out and he announced, “Tonight we will play an entire set!” And play they did. With horns, bass, drums and guitars, Fishbone put out a little bit of ska, some rock steady, some rock ‘n’ roll and some funk. Opening with “Fight for Nutmeg,” a term they use to describe their musical style, the evening took off with power, energy and enthusiasm. Fish, the band’s drummer, sitting with his back to the crowd, pumped out funky beats while showing off his highly tattooed back. Playing most of the songs from their latest album, Chillz Chim’s Badms Revettge, and some old favorites from previous albums, Fishbone made the crowd forget the minus one million degree temperatures outside. When Fishbone played ‘Ma n’ Pa” the frontman from Race began crowd surfing with some other awkwardly shaped members of the audience. The punk-infUsed Y3eergut,” the ska-seasoned %I the Cube” and “Sourpuss,” and the satirical “Psychologically Overcast” all had the crowd dancing and drinking and smoking pot, to the urgings of the band. When they lefi the stage after nYentytwo songs the crowd erupted into the traditional cheering and waiting for the band to return. They did.

changes in the mood of the entire country as it has evolved over the past ten years. However, despite one’s expectations that they would overlap in numerous areas, the two books share little more than the same publisher. The leader of Ontario’s first (and for the forcsecable future, last) NDP government has taken a lot of abuse over the past few years fl-om all corners of the political realm. After winning an election more or less by surprise, Bob Rae and company went on co make thenxclvcs among the most hated governments in the country. Never again, say most. What went wrong? Apparently, not much. Although Rae acknowledges that mistakes were made and inexperience made the job diff’cult, the primary message coining out ofthese memoirs is that the NDP made the best of a bad situation and made enemies of everyone because no one else was grounded in reality. It’s believable, but it’s a generous ass&sment that is still tough to swallow. For instance, tho well-publicized section of the book in which Rae, Romanow and Harcourt face off against Bob White and his suggestion that the government default on its debt pa\rments leads one to believe d

that ifnothing else, Bob Rae was dealing with verv radical elements among his tiaditional supporters. Similarly, his critics seemed to have little credibility when it came to making reasonable suggestions. RX tells of a leading investment banker coming into his ofice and asking Rae both to keep the deficit down, and to not reduce funding to the hospital with which the banker was involved. The banker was oblivious to the contradictions in what he was saying. Thus, there is a casefor Rae, but the admissions of inexperience make it hard to put the I>!lrne solely on unrealistic expectations. Kae also does a fair bit of blaming the Liberals before him for the high deficit, and then takes credit for programs that suddenly flourished when the econom\’ improvied. This attitude is understandable in an election platform, but not in what is supposed to be a personal, candidly written autobiography. Rae likes to pretend hc scparatcd himself from his party’s rhetoric more so than many, but he still has quite a way to go. This desire to bc seen as being separate from the rhetoric or the socialist stance on issues leads to 3 muddled message. In one section, Rae complains that the media was unfair when the NIX? was trying to spend its way out of the recession. Rather than justifying what he did (which was just that), he talks about how his government used the first budget to merely %often the blow” of the recession. The book would be far more interesting if he simply stood up for himself and said that there was nothing wrong with increasing spending to keep people’s heads above water. He hints at this, but he never gets up the nerve to say it. This is the most u&ortunate aspect of the book. He doesn’t spend enough qualiq time on an$~ing to make the reader understand why Rae did what he did. You never rcallv know what makes him tick. The first half Aims over his childhood, universiq days and early political career, interspersed with the occasional political or personal insight. The second half is a defense of his time in power, from his support of the Charlottetown Accord to the design of the Social Contract and ‘&RaeDays.” He offers few philosophical reasons for his actions, preferring to chronicle them and the circumstances under which he performed. In the end, there are two half-finished books here - one about Rae, and one about his government. Maybe in time he’ll get around to finishing both of them. Then there will be something really interesting and insightful to read. Rae and his government do not figure prominently in The Canadian lttmltition. Newman spends no more than three pages talking directly about Rae and his government. But in those pages, he captures the general sense of what happened as well as Rae did during his 300 pages: “In of&e, [Rae] was preoccupied with issues of social justice, which left no common ground with the Bay Street Gang who regarded social justice as an unaffordable

l~~xury and were primarily concerned with the creation of wealth, not its distribution. It never occurred to either side that you couldn’t have one without the other.” One tidbit that was common -to the two book was the joke about the Bq Street executives talking about how to get the Premier’s ear, a task they had not found a challenge under previous administrations. Mer deciding that their traditional professional connections will be of little use, one of them says, “Let’s use my cleaning lady. She’s in the Cabinet!” Hcrc Rae’s constant comments about politics being as much about impressions as anything ring true. This bit is also representative of Newman’s gift: the abiiit)l to .capture the mood of a province or country through well-chosen anecdotes that act as more than interesting little stories. While this technique loses something in substance when used as often as it is by Newman, it more than makes up for it in style and sheer fascination for the reader. For example, Newman’s analysis of Toronto, the country’s economic, social and political centre, comes across as that of a society columnist. The chapter about the city comes as part of a look at the “economic revoIution,” but it is more of a psychological profile of the business elites and their wives. Very interesting to read, but short on substance if you’re hunting for the real economic issues. Newman takes a similar approach to every other topic in the book: the Mulroney years, the startling rise ofthe Reform Party, the country’s loss of faith in God, the Royal Family and the banking system, the plight of the First Nations, et cetera. Much needed historical background is provided to put the events in context, which helps someone our age understand what it was like before and just afier we arrived here. So was there a revolution? The grudging answer is yes, and in Canadian style: long, drawn-out, and with little far&we. Newman wears down your scepcicism through profiles of boardrooms and cabinet meetings, the occasionat statistic and poignant anecdotes that capture critical events over the past decade. It’s a great read, and I found myself laughing out laud in numerous parts. Ultimately, if you want a foggy but (especially nowadays) unorthodox view of Ontario, read Rae’s book. But if you want to better understand your country, you have to read The Canadian Rtzmlu tion .

Thursday, January 23 by Michael Olley special to Imprint

ast Thursday night, the Bombshelter played host to some of the KitchenerWaterloo area’s best independent bands. Corduroy Leda and Squirm helped Reson ceiebrate the release of their debut CD, Messilag with dw Muses. Five dollars, collected at the door by members of the various bands, treated the entrant to almost four hours of Live music, and the proceeds provided over four hundred dollars for Multiple Sclerosis, The live music started at 930 with Corduroy Leda. At 10:30, Squirm took the stage. The almost-standard configuration included guitar, bass, drums, vocals and keyboards played by Tim, Ian, Baron, Elaine and B’,J: respectively. B. J. also

played trumpet, especially when the keyboard experienced some technical dificulties for the first few songs of the set. This was no problem as the group altered its play list to accommodate. The sound produced by Squirm was powerful and captivating and the music was varied and entertaining. Elaine’s vocals soared through the confines of the Bombshelter and the guitar, trumpet and keyboards filled the room. Their unique musical style demonstrates a wide variety of influences and could be described as Jazzy Funk-Rock. It was definitely music to move to and, if you like, as the band name suggests, squirm to. In between bands and sets the Bomber returned to its normal social atmosphere. During these little breaks the music that was played was all by some of Canada’s independent artists. This provided a chance to meet and talk with the various members of the bands, one of my favorite aspet ts of smaller, independent con-

certs. The atmosphere was excellent and the crowd diverse. At I1:30 the guests of honour, Reson, took the stage for two sets to perform the songs from their album. Sludge on drums, Bass on (of course) bass, Steve on lead guitar and Mark and Jimbo sharing vocal and rhythm guitar duties started solidly and continued to build. By the end of the third song there was no room in front of the band to stand as the crowd rushed up to get a better look. The band responded to the crowd and gtined their energy and playfulness as the evening continued. Reson piayed all of the songs off their alternative rock debut during their two sets, including “Injustice, ” a favorite of the band. The varying complexities of the songs showcased the group’s songwriting and performing talent. The tunes were catchy and the vocals were solid. The last set finished around one in the morning and, afier two excellent sets, no one left disappointed.

A \x “The Distance” demonstrates, part of Cake’s appeal lies in lead singer John McRea’s abilitv to f~isc rap vocals with rock instru merits. Not that this hasn’t done before ‘, obviously, but singer John McKea doesn’t tr?l to pretend he’s black. He appropriates the rhythmic, syncopated st\rlc of rap without any African:American overtones. Rather than rhyme “nigger” w ith “trigger,” McKea chooses to rhyme “doubt and remorse” lvith “monster truck force.” The album contains a few coxrs, most notably Gloria Gavnor’s “1 Will Survive.” White

the origin4 was something of a lame quasi-feminist disco ~anthem, Cake updates the song so that it sounds like it was written yesterday. McCrea’s vocals also adapt the song for men who have been shafted by women Those two elements alone make this one of the best covers I’ve ever heard. To top it alI off, the obligatory guitar solo is onlv one note. There-is, perhaps, something of a slacker aesthetic about Cake; man)’ of the songs are sung in that lazy, a1oof voice favoured byI so manv lead vocalists in the nineties. But Cake bring a musical intelligence to their songs. They’re not interested in sloppy power chords locked into a verse-chorus-verse structure and the presence of a trumpet helps to flesh out their sound. In fact, if the band has a problem, it’s coming up with clever hooks. Songs such as “Dar&” “Open Books” and “I t’s Coming Down” are all escellent until you get to the chorus. Fortunately, the songs are so strong that thev can withstand the occasional we&ness. Rumour has it that Cake are on the verge of breaking up - or rather, they did break up but reunited for Fnslllion Ntimet. With luck, the success of this release will assure that Cake are around for at least one more album.

by Mike Owen Imprint staff Eighties rock is a style that has complete1y died out in the past few years, so it’s a bit of a surprise to hear a new band coming out with this style. However, this is exactly what Eventide has done. An unusual choice to say the least, but I guess old habits die hard. So what sounds eighties about this album? The guitars scream “hair gel” at the top oftheir lungs with very direct and predictable chord progressions. The rock of a decade past tended to be like this, but thev cou1d have gone crazv and trieh at least one or two different chords. Randv Steppler, the guitarist for the ‘group, has apparentlv not done much listening to music beyond Poison and Def Leppard, and it shows in the refatively carbon-copied playing he does from track to track.

to Beavis and

Hutthcad, if you’re’ a chick band, it’s ok to suck. A.JI~, for the most

part, thev’re right. L7, Seven Year Bitch, B&es in Toyland - none of these bands are particulari) goad. But Fluffs is different. Hufi,

qui tc sim&,

rocks.

There’s nothing fancy about Fluftjl. The standard four-piece line-up, simple songs, and some decidedly unadorned lvrics, but that doesn’t mean anything. The question is, do vou want to play it again? You’re ioddam right I do! These four girls bash out some solid 90s punk with cnrhusiasm and style. The lyrics have been done before. You know, the whole independent woman/rape/drugs/ sour relationships bit, and it’s not like punk is something new, but Fluffy does it well, with some excellent guitar harmonies and great rhythms that other aspiring punk bands would do well to notice. Get it and play it loud.

The first five people to bring something fluffy down to the Imprint office and show it to Deb or James win!

The best thing about these albums is that thev ire ideal material for “The Cover Show,” Fridays from 6 to 7 p.m. on CKMS. ’ Shameless piug for a friend aside, these albums arc unnecessary, superfluous and other words that mean the world wou1d keeD rotating without them. That said, I’m kind of glad to have them. The greatest bonus for me is that my Bauhaus discs were stolen over the summer and now, thanks to Mumcr Told Me Not To Come, I at least have their cover of Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust.” Only about three dozen more songs to go* Otherwise, these two discs are a fairly decent mix of songs with the usual trichotomy: a couple ofgreat numbers, some decent ones, and the rest falling somewhere between mediocre and skip past it. Without a doubt, the best song on either disc is the Cardigans’ interpretation of the Thin Lizzy classic ‘“The Boys are Back in Town.” What was once a rocking male anthem is now a tender, lounge-esque swoon. Emasculation at its finest. Other highlights

The vocals are the biggest giveaway in this album - when was the last time you heard a singer draw out the word “yeah” for three or four seconds about twenty or thirty times in one track? It might simply be that nineties music tends towards- a much rougher sound, but I couldn’t get over Em-e’s vocals, which simply seemed to be lacking something called impact. If Randy ever gets out to listen to some new music, he should drag Enre (the vocalist) along with him. Given all of this, I’m realI} surprised to say that I liked bits of this album. The only problem is that they were very small bits, and constituted lessthan half the playing time. Most of the songs lacked any real edge, and mellowed or dragged to the point that I was worried about passing out while Tping this review. But some of the songs are actually fun, in that sort of cheesy eighties rock sort of way. You won’t catch this band doing aqrhing groundbreaking, but they can petiorm reasonably well in their chosen, if outdated style.

on the alternative camp are the suddenly hot Red House Painters, covering Simon and GarfLnkel’s “I am a Rock,” actuall)7 managing to add to the vocal harmonies inherent in any Simon and Garfunkel song. In “the $cond catagory lie songs like “Ball of Confusion,” not quite a coup, but still good, Frank Black redefining a Brian Wilson tune into YIang on to your Ego” and the omnipresent Spirit of the West teaming with the Wonder Stuff’ on the timeless classic “May the Circle Be Unbroken.” The Beatles camp. manages to avoid a lot of the most popular Beatles songs, instead looking at the better songs that didn’t manage to become immortal. None of the songs are really interesting interpretations, but more or less straight-up covers. Really, if I wanted to listen to songs that sound just like covers of Beatles’ songs, I think I’d be better off just listening to the Beatles. The Christians do a ver)rExdible version of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” and Monsoon put an Indian swing on “Tomorrow Never Knows.” There are also contributions from Men Without Hats, Hothouse Flowers and two tracks with Paul Weller, one solo, one with the Tarn. Otherwise, not nearly as interesting or eclectic as the Alternative camp. If you were going to buy either ofthese albums, get the alternative one. If you really think it’s worth it.

gotta

strut,” This is exactly what the title track of Grover Washington, Jr.‘s album Soulfitl Stnrt makes you want to do. The first song makes you want to strut; the second, “Can You Stop the Rain,” does the exact opposite. It’s an emotional song that makes you remember the last time your heart was broken, not just by a relationship going south but by any loss. Grover is a saq$one player whose plaving and svle put Ktmly G and John T& to shame: He plays soprano, alto and tenor SXKthroughout the album to spcctacular ctyect. Through his playing, he doesn’t just pland music, but creates moods that the listener can experience. In combination with the funky bass lines of Gary “Headman” Haase, Grover creates a range of grooves from coqky strutting to tribal rhythms. Hut he is riot limited to c;ltchJr funk; his style encompasses mournful ballads and th~>ught-provokinlS social commcntarics asin “~1ystical Forct.s and “l~~~~cher Man.” R&t-e this album, I could almost believe that there were no good sax plavcrs left recording out there.

For those who know me as a snobbish yet staunch supporter of the Canadian independent music scene, it may come as a surprise to learn that my favourite band is, in fact, a @am-rock outfit from Oklahoma. Why the band that T most identify with should sing about drag queens and bisexual orgies is a matter for the psychiatrists, but even if my fmdom is twisted, I’m in good company. The Chainsaw Kittens’ latest self-titled album was released on Scratchie I&cords, owned by James and D’arcy from the Smashing Pumpkins, and the Kittens regularly get a nod as Billy Corgan’s favourite group (second only to the Frogs). The Chainsa~v Kittens’ 1989 debut album ViulentR&+P~, on the ultra-cool Mammoth Record label, was probably the height of their career: the jewclqr-adorned Kittens, fronted by the heavily-mxcara-ed Tyson Todd b!eadc, screamed through t-w&c of the coolest giam rock songs ever.
