he UW Canada Day celebrations held at Columbia Lake Park on July 1 attracted an estimated 1 3,000 people last Tuesday. The celebrations began with the ‘Teddy Bear Picnic’ at approximately 1:30 pm, with games and activities organized for children, and other attractions for the older crowd. Various UW organizations such as the Engineering Society, the Math Society, and the Science Society, ran various games and activities for children. The plethora of activities included tug-ofwar, two-legged races, volleyball, soccer, and ‘kiddie’ Twister. Face painting, balloons, and rickshaw rides were also quite a hit amongst the younger children. The K-W record even set up a ‘Reading Tent’ in which story-telling activities ran throughout the day. For the older crowd, there was an arts and crafts bazaar, a food tent, and live bands which performed throughout the day. Chym FM broadcast live from the park, and the Hergot Cider ~~511 had set up a booth of “Live Honey Bees” which attracted a curious crowd. The 1%~ Warriors

Band aIso played live throughout the day. The YTW Fortieth Anniversary Tent” featured various exhibits such as science displays, and displays featrlring a history of the University. Ben Thomson, the Activity World Co-Ordinator and member of the steering committee of the event explained that the celebrations were not funded entirely by UW. “We got a lot of corporate sponsorship, sp&ficall! from more regional companies as opposed to larger ones,” he said. Two hundred and fifty IJW volunteers ran the festivities which had been coordinatcd by a steering committce ofahout 20 people who had been planning the event for weoks in advance. “The preparation beforehand for this event was phenomenal. I had not expetted the preparation to be so phenomenal, that all the little things and the big things would be so well encompassed,” Thomson added. The celebrations were interrupted by a severe rainstorm in the evening, which stirred scepticism as to whether the planned fireworks should proceed. The fireworks display was executed in spectacular style, to what the Waterloo Regional Police estimate to be a crowd of 3S,OOO yeoplc. “1 am more than shocked. I was expecting somrthing big and the entire event overwhelmed my expectations,” said Thomson.

Train tracks get traffic by Chris Skene special to Imprint his is a warning: look both ways before crossing the railway tracks that run along the east side of the campus. Why? Because the track is about to get a lot busier. Perhaps as early as this weekend, the Waterloo-St. Jacobs train will begin ferrying passengers from uptown Waterloo to the town ofSt. Jacobs and the St. Jacobs Farmer’s Market. The railway is being launched in order to cash in the growing tourism industry in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. As a region, KitchenerWaterloo and the surrounding environs receive approximately 3. I million tourists annually. The town of St. Jacobs itself receives around 1.3 All aboard! million visitors annually. Marketing director Tom Henry believes these numbers indicate that the region provides an excellent market for a tourist railway. The St. Jacobs tourist industry has been growing and is reaching certain physical limitations, namely limited facilities for parking and the fact that traffic is funnelled down one main street. Henry believes that the railway will prove very beneficial for St. Jacobs by carrying large numbers of people who would otherwise have to drive. Tourism and Sales Manager for the town of St. Jacobs, Byron Schantz, concurs adding that the town is very interested in getting the train started. Since one of the objectives of the railway is to alleviate some of the traffic pressures faced by St. Jacobs, Waterloo is being marketed as the obvious starting point of the journey. A small station has been built at the corner of Erb Street and Father David Bauer Drive to serve as the Waterloo Terminal. The basic service will be four round trips per day until Thanksgiving weekend, and weekends only until November 23. In addition, the railway is planning a number of special event runs including night trains with dinner,

murder mystery outings, stand up comics, and runs in conjunction with Buskerfest, Oktoberfest and Ilalloween. Night trains may run all the way to Elmira to extend the duration of the run. To sell the service, the railway is marketing the train as a Fifties Streamfiner which, in the words of the railway’s literature, is intended to invoke “visions of luxurious travel to far-away places.” The equipment itself was part of a 1954 purchase by Canadian National Railways. When VIA RailCanada was formed in the mid 197Os, it inherited the equipment and ran it until service cutbacks rendered it surplus. A Qucbcc company, Les T?-nitts Touristiques SiCzt Lnuret3t Limitt+, p u rchased the train, painted it in original CNR colours and ran it out of Quebec City from 1994 until 1996 when the company went bankrupt. In keeping photo by Chris Skene with the 19-50s thcmc, the WatcrlooSt. Jacobs Railway will keep the train in its old CNR colours and has returned the original road numbers to the locomotives and cars. This particular train was chosen largely because it: was available and in good working order. However, for most people the choice of train will not be much of a novelty. Since all the equipment was employed by VIA on a regular basis less than six years ago, the railway may find it difficult to sell the train as something unique and different. Mr. Henry recognizes this problem but believes the overall theme, as well as being in a healthy tourist market, will allow the train to succeed. Henry believes the railway can expect around 75,000 riders in the first season despite starting late. The Waterloo-St, Jacobs Railway is working hard to get the service up and running as soon as possible. Service could begin as soon as Saturday July 12. For anyone interested in using the service, the railway is offering a day pass for $8.50 ($SSO for children). However, regardless of one’s interest in the new rail service, eve-ryonc should exercise caution along the tracks because the service will result in eight new trips through the campus.

Art school drop-out provokes riots Religious tension in Israeltriggered by cartoons by Saba Imprint

Haider Staff

25 year old art school drop out who found a home and a boyfriend in an outlawed anti-Arab group in Israel has triggered more than a week of rioting in the West Bank city of Hebron. Tatiana Susskin sketched a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed as a pig stomping on the Holy Koran, the Islamic holy book. She developed the cartoon into posters last week, and pasted them on Arab shop doors in the city of Hebron, triggering a series of riots and demonstrations throughout Israel. This act of the Russian-born Jew has outraged Muslims in Israel and throughout the world. Susskin’s attack on the Prophet

of Islam resulted in a retaliation by some Muslims in the West Bank town of Nablus who drenched an effigy of an orthodox Jew with kerosene and burnt it on a rooftop of a building in the city ten tre. Susskin is justifying her act to authorities claiming to believe that the Middle East is on the verge of breaking into a holy war. This holy warsusskin claims, will end the chaos in the Middle East. Yehuda Shomron, Susskin’s boyfriend who is a leading activist in the anti-Arab group known as the Kach movement, according to an Israeli newspaper, takes credit for convincing Susskin of the anti-Arab ideology. He also explains, to the newspaper, of a ‘Holy War’ which is fast approaching. Susskin made a court appear-

ante last Thursday, at which she is reported to have shouted, “this is freedom of speech.” The Globe and Mail reported earlier this week that an illustration depicting the virgin Mary with a “cow’s head” has added fuel to the fire of religious tension in Israel. An Israeli science periodical known as Galileo ran the illustration of the virgin Mary in April, with two articles “about cloning,” describes the Globe and Mail. The head Roman can Catholic clergyman in Jerusalem, Michel Sabah, “condemned the drawing,” stating, “we cannot understand how the magazine officials can be so naive as to offend religious icons.” Sabah further added that Galileo magazine acted out of carelessness, stating that, “we believe they have done it out of ignorance.” Last Friday, amidst the riots triggered by Susskin, an Arabiclanguage weekly newspaper SuntPara reprinted the illustration of Mary, a prominent figure in both Christianity and Islam, and then approached both Christian and Muslim leaders to comment on it. The second illustration in a week, depicting a religious icon, led the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu to make a

public apology to “people of the Christian faith” who were offended by the illustration which had appeared in the science magazine. Many Muslims and Christians in Israel believe that the illustration of the virgin Mary is

part of an “organized campaign,” which Tatiana Susskin is a part of. Within hours of the re-publication in Sunttclru of the illustration of the virgin Mary, the riots had escalated to involved members of all three major religious groups in Israel: the Muslims, the Christians, and the Jews. Unofficial reports claim the number of deaths so far in the riots to be anywhere from 10 to more than 20, Last week Israeli leaders ineluding the president, the prime minister and even the chief Rabbi all apologized for Susskins riottriggering act.

how vast) are members and were there along with five non-member observers. This year’s planning session decided to try and sort out some of CASA’s internal workings. To that end we ended up with a proposal for an associate membership policy and restrictions on non-member access to the organization. Simply put schools who pay into the organization get more for their money than schools that don’t without discouraging those schools that are interested in Iearning more about us. As well we ratified our benevolent NationaI Director, Hoops Harrison, a competent guy cvcn though he didn’t graduate from IJW. On a policy level CASA made some huge leaps as well. One was the intrdduction of an IBR, or income based remission plan. In English an IBR is a system of loan repayment whcrc the government helps you with your yearly payments so that you get paid off in a set time. This way your debt doesn’t cost your first born child and the government saves oodles of cash down the road. Secondly there was the plan for employment insurance (formerly known as unemployment insurance until somebody got the

bright idea that”unemployment” sounded too negative). Right now all of us pay into the thing even though as students we never qualify for it. CASA wants you to keep the cash and spend it yourself. Underlying the entire discussion was the issue of a National Education Act. CASA wants to be very clear in the coming years that our ultimate goal is the implementation of a national standard that ensures we all have access to a quality post-secondary education. The same thing exists in health care, why not cducation? As a friend of mine said, government will spend money to make a doctor’s office but not to make a doctor. Unreal. Overall the conference in Calgary was a success because of what we got done and because the folks at IJW can always find something cool to do. Unfortunately there were a few snags like tolerant Lisa, who sat in the Calgary airport for two hours because nobody picked her up, or your incredibly calm VP Education who for some reason honestly believed his president would get him to the airport in time for his flight. Hey these things happen, you just move on.

magazine officials

It’s kind of funny but every time that1 look at the FEDBACK it’s about one of the executive’s trips across the country. Well, in the spirit of continuity so is this one. This time it was your ever loyal VP Education, our illustrious National Affairs Commissioner, Lisa Wannamaker, and hold on to your coffee cup.. .President Mario Bellabarba, the man widely thought to be an imaginary creation of the VPEs past and present. For those of you who don’t know and are still reading this, CASA is the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, our national lobby group that each of you pay about ninety cents a year for. What do you get for your cash? Well that’s why this year’s CASA was so incredible; you get alot. For about three years now this organization has set itself up as a constructive student voice working avith government to achieve its aims. For example the tax credit changes that the government has committed to are a direct result of CASA’s efforts. And this conference was the planning session for the year ahead.

A Victory For Free Speech A victory has been won for free speech in the I;nited St;ltes! On June 26, 1997, the 1J.S. Supreme Court unanimously struck down the Communications Decency Act (CD/I). ‘I‘he court ruled that the CDA was unconstitutional, as it infringed upon the right to freedom of expression guaranteed by the First Amendment. According to the proponents of the CDA, including I3ill Clinton, it was designed to prevent children from being involved in and being exposed to child pornography. Ilowever, on behalf of the court, Justice John Paul Stevens contended that “the CDA places an unacceptably heavy burden on protected speech” and found that all provisions of the CDA are unconstitutional as they apply to “indecent” or “patently offensive” speech. Just who defines what is patently offensive speech? ‘I’here are too many conflicting opinions and interests for a Fair definition of such a term. ‘l’herefore, as they should have in a free country, the court supported freedom of speech above the interests of eager, would-be censors. If there really is a problem with child pornography on the Internet, it can be dealt with specifically. ‘l‘he typical propaganda spouting from our politicians these days is akin to Communist propaganda: neatly lump in your desired targets with those that are known to be criminal and/or evil. For example, the Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister, Lloyd Axworthy, recently was quoted as saying that the Internet should be controlled by governments because it is a haven for drug traffickers (bad!),child pornographers (bad!), and “merchants of hate.” Just what is a merchant of hate? ‘l-hat sounds bad enough, but it is too vague, and generafly those opinions which the establishment dislikes are termed “hate.” In addition, although the Internet is growing rapidly, most people have never used it. ?‘he masses are the perfect, naive targets for such ‘l’hey have no reason not to believe that propaganda. almost accidentally, with one mouse click, you’ll have a computer screen full of hate messages, pornography, drugs for sale, etc. ?‘he CDA was no different in its propagandistic approach. It was an attempt to apply a broad brush to anything the government could in the future define as thus criminalizing even freedom of “patently offensive,” expression.

Hats off to the I!.S. Supreme Court and those \jrho fought hard against the CDA and in Fdvor of freedom. In America, totalitarian control is not as easy as it is here in Canada,

Glad to see you’re still reading As a student at the University of Waterloo, I wish to express my disgust with the front page which appeared in the Imprint on Friday June 27, 1497. ‘l’he picture shows Queen Elizabeth semi-naked, waving to the crourds wit.h her breasrs bared. I enclose a petition signed by 25 students (14 female, 11 male) who found the photograph as unacceptable as I did. ‘I’his so-called “cover” page is not only insulting, but also overtly discriminatory for the following reasons: Imprint is using pornography to draw attention to itself, Just as in the case of some ads, this is nothing but pure exploitation and degradation of women. ‘I’he Queen is ‘l’he Sovereign - and the monarchy has been a cornerstone of Canada’s tradition for over 200 years. By attacking her, you are insulting all the people who are loyal to the institutions of our nation. In this era of uncertainty about national unity, this is the last thing needed by Canadians who are trying to make this country work. The picture is disrespectful-like a spit in the face of the Queen herself, and anybody else wha would bc unwillingly featured in such a pose. Obviously Imprint is willing to trample the rights of individuals just to make a sell. Imprint claims to be theofficial student newspaper of this university. With such a front page, it shows that it couldn’t care less about students who find such a picture morally or ethically offensive. From far away, it is difficult student to distinguish - is that our so called “official newspaper” or just a copy of “Playboy” distributed across campus? continued

Dr. Glick’s bailiwick by Mike Imprint

Owen staff

arlier this week I had a chance to speak with Dr. Ciick, a professor of biology here at the university of Waterloo. Many students wiI1 likely recognize him as the professor of Biology 440 and 432, two of the biotechnology courses offered here on campus. We had a chance to talk about a great deal of things, much of it beyond the technical biology that I was expecting. What follows here is a summary of the interview, with some brief excerpts Biotechnology has emerged as a major field for the nineties. Fifteen years ago, Dr. Glick was hired on to the university and given a challenge to be a “catalyst for change and development in his area.” This is a challenge that he has risen to, working with others to ensure that Waterloo is preparing its students for biology in the nineties. From having no classes at all, the University of Waterloo now has four biotechnology oriented classes with considerable enrolment. Is this a trend to follow in biology? Dr. Glick says so directly, declaring “It’s the future.” He did hasten to say that traditional biology sti!! has a major part to play in biology and in student’s careers. However, it can’t be denied that in the employment section of Science, Nature, and the like, molecular biotechnology seems to be the dominant area of biology. So should every biology student be taking these courses, given their importance? Not if you ask

taken on a huge task, largely for the challenge of the science of it all. Plant/Microbial interactions are the area of study in Dr. Glick’s laboratory, and there’s more than enough to keep a man and a few grad students busy. Plants and microorganisms arc being found to have a staggering number of modes of interaction, each of which has to be explored in detail before they can begin to be manipulated to improve the viability of the plants in question. A prime example of these interactions is the production of/ICC deaminase by microorganisms. This enzyme, oddly enough, only acts on ACC, a precursor to ethylene in plants. This lead to the point that the bacteria must be producing the enzyme to xc on KC from plants. Now you have to worry about how the KC gets into the bacteria from the plant, and how these processes fit into the lives of the organims. As it turns out, this ACC deaminase in the microorganisms can lower ethylene levels in plants by removing the ACC via the roots of the plant. While ethylene has many effects on plants, potential applications of this ethylene lowering include the promotion of the uptake of dangerous metals from the soil, and protection of plants from a buildup of ACC during flooding seasons, protecting the plants from some of the ethylene damage that could result. ‘This could keep Dr. Glick busy for some time, but as long as he keeps teaching and working to keep students up to date, biology students at Waterloo will continue to receive an cxccllenc education.

ith the recent appearance of Comet HaleBopp in our skies, interest in comets has started to mount. It wasn’t until Halley’s Comet returned in 1986 that the study of these cosmic anomalies was transformed from mere speculation to a serious science. Since this time, a number of exciting discoveries and theories have arisen from intense observation of the cosmos. Comets are thought to be the leftover fragments from the creation of the solar system which occurred about 4.6 billion years ago. The pIanets were spawned by an enormous rotating disk of swirling dust and gas in which loose aggregates of rocky debris

accreted into large bodies. As these planets were forming, large amounts of rocky material were hurled into the outer reaches of the solar system and beyond, where they collected and remained in cold storage. These frozen chunks of rock comprise the reservoir of comets that occasionally make their way into the inner regions of the solar system for our observation. Celestial

Icebergs

Comets are pieces of compacted snovb’ or ice no more than 3 few miles in diameter, containing solid dust particles. As they approach the Sun, the solid nucleus of the comet heat up and the ice begins to evaporate, releasing gas and dust particles into space. A mixture ofdust md mol-

ecule fragments (the coma) surrounding the nucleus and two distinct tails can be seen. The plasma tail forms when ions produced in the coma, are carried away by a mixture of electrons and protons moving away from the Sun at 400 km per second. The other tail arises when grains of dust released by the comet as its ice evaporates are repulsed by solar photons. Illuminated by the Sun, this dust tail curves slightly away from the trajectory of the comet’s nucleus. At the point where the comet is closest to the Sun, a portion of its mass is consumed by the heat, and most comets actually last no longer than four or five hundred perihelion passages before being destroyed. continued

page1 Q the comets

Recent astronomical discoveries have forced the scientific community to rcvisc their previous theories regarding the prccisc source of comets. Gp iJntil five years ago, astronomers helicwd that u massive spherical shell of comets centered on the

ones, astronomers now feel that the disk of space located beyond Neptune encompasses a flat ring of perhaps billions of potential c0mcts.

Scientists believe that the socalled Kuiper Belt is the source ofalmosr all short-period comets. Images from the IIubble Space Telescope have confirmed the existence of these objects. How do these comets makt: their way

into the inner solar system? From ~oniputcr simulations, ic is hypochcsizcd that Neptune’s gravity cm&x the: in tcrior region of the belt, tcaringsomeofthccomcts f’rom thcirpositions and slinging them towards the inner solar system where chcy may enter elliptical orbits. Hm-hingers

one of thcsc coniccs is qNurcd by a large planet like Jupiccr, the time it takes them to complete one orbit tends to bc very long. lJp until recently, short-period comets (comets with periods less than 200 years) were thought to be long-period comets that had been captuscd by Jupiter, thus scvcrely reducing their periods. But scientists have cprestioned the validity of this scenario. Computersimulationsconducted in 1988, cast serious doubts on the accepted theories; it sczemcd unlikely that Jupiter could consistently make shortperiod comets out of long-period ones. In 1992, American astronomers made an astonishing discovery: orbiting 40 ALJ from Ihe Sun was an object with a ZOO-250 km diameter. This spurred other astronomers to scrutinise the skies. Their efforts have revealed the existence of over 30 objects with diameters ranging between 1W-400 km. Essimaates put the total number of such objects in this region at 35,000. Since there are undoubtedly many more smaller pieces mixed in with these larger I Mess

of Death

‘Z’hc devastation wrought by these nomadic icebergs has opcncd the eyes of many astronomcrs to rhc d;lngcr posed by comcts to the Earth. The probability of a lzlrgc comet colliding with the Earth is small: such collisions

only once every 100 million years and the last one co happen took place 65 million years ago. Despite the odds being in our favor, the consequences of a comet impact are enough to cause some serious concern. A recent collision took place in 1908 when a comet fragment expIoded over the Tunguska region of Siberia, flattening trees across a SO km region. Had the comet exploded over a less remote area such as New York City, hundreds of thousands of people would have been killed. Sixteen years ago, an organization called Spacewatch consistingofvigilant astronomers, was established to scan the skies for Earth-bound comets and asteroids. Usingcomputcrs and electronic detection devices, Spacewatch tracks the courses of a whole range of wandering objects. Preliminary efforts have been made at devising possible defenses against comets. Rocket fleets, nuclear warheads, chemical explosions, and laser and micTowave technology are just some of the ideas being bandied about as ways of pulverising or deflecting any incoming comets. Although thought of as harbingers of death, comccs may also be responsible for organic Iife. Approximately 3.9 billion years ago, a period of intense bombardment of the Earth by rocky materials ended and the young planet began to cool. Once this happcncd, comets from the outer solar system hit the Earth providing it with water and the conditions necessary for life to take root. Some scientists believe that the comets also furnished organic compounds. From existing fossil records, it has been shown that very soon after this period, elementary lifeforms began to emerge and evolve. In this sense, comets not only have the power to take away life, but they may also have the power to create it. occur

Fbunrayce ‘97‘ by Ryan Chen-Wing Imprint staff Sunrayce ‘97 ended in the summer sun of Colorado Springs two weeks ago where UW’s Midnight Sun IV placed seventh. In the nine days of racing between June 19 and June 28, the UW car was never out of the top nine overall in the 36 car race. In May, the I_JWteam had achieved a fourth place starting spot in a qualifying track run in Michigan. Such a performance gave high hopes and seemed to predict a strong showing at the upcoming face. After the first day of racing, which started in Indianapolis, June 19, the team held sixth place and gained overall position over the following few days. On June 23, the rest day, the team held third place.

After the fifth day of racing, Midnight Sun moved into seeond place; only four minutes from the race leader. The next day Midnight Sun IV encountered a recurring --problem with the car’s motor controlier, Over the next two days the team was forced to replace the motur controller five times and fell to eighth place with two days of racing left. In the last days of the race, Midnight Sun IVmoved into seventh pIace and stayed there until the finish, Through the course of the race, !Ndnighc Sun IV crossed five US states on a 1980 km course, averaging 62 km/h+ The sun set in Colorado Springs on a day where LJW had its best ever showing at Sunrayce and beat atI other Canadian teams in the campetition.

Toronto Blue Jays midseason report l

bv Jeff Peeters imprint staff

ith half a season gone, the Toronto Blue Jays have failed to live up to high cxpcctations for the 1947 season. With a payroll of around $52 million, the Jays wcrc expcctcd to contend for at least a wild card spot, if not the American League East title and more. After a dismal last year, the Jays went out and spent big money on two free agents and engineered a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates to help turn them into a contender. It has, so far, not worked too well. So what’s wrongl Simple. The Hlue Jays have not been hitting the ball.‘l’hc~ared~rtd last in team batting ;1c’cragc, hitting a pathetic .243, with nobody hitting over .300 (cxccpt t hc 1-for-Z \!‘oody Williams). And when you don’t hit the MI, ydrc ing to score runs. l‘hc also dead last in offcncc,

not goJays arc

scoring a brutal 3.81 runs per g~nc. ‘I‘hc next closest team, Milwaukee, is scoring 4.48. Other dismal offcnsivc stats include: a .308 on-base perccntage, dead last; .38 1 slugging pcrcentage, &ad last; 68 I IR, second last. It’s very simple folks: this team can barely get on base three out of cvcry IO times at bat, and can’t even scrounge up a ,400SI.G in the power-haPpy American League. If this team wasn’t sccond in the lcaguc in runs altowcd per game at -l.lY, they’d bc in the bascmcnt. Forget batting [XXcicc, this team needs “hitting the ball” practice. On 4 brighter note, the Jays’ pitching has gcncrally been SLLperb. Rcsidcs hlike Timlin and

his bullpen woes, the Jays have one ofthc best staffs in the league, ranked third in the AI, with a 3.530 team KRA. The staff has been anchored by the newly-acquired RHP “Rocket” Roger Clemens, who so far has proved to be worth cvcry penny of his $8+ million a year contract. Clcmcns is a lcading candidate for the American League Cy Young Award, sporting a 13-3 record with a 1.69 ERA, tops in the league. Of cowso, wt’ can’t forget about much-maligned (and rightfully so) manager Cito Gaston. Pcoptc continue to point to his two World Scrics Championships andcall himagood manager.Good player and player relations managcr, yes. Good baseball manager and strategist, no. When a team is doing poorly over a sustained pcriod of time, the manager is usually fired. Gaston has been kept around too long, probably one of the only i%tal mistakes that the othcrwisc godlike Paul Becston has made with this team. There arc some bright spots that might propel this team to a possible wild card berth. Shawn

Green is finally getting playing time and looks solid. Orlando Merced is leading the regulars in hittingand continues to play well. Carlos Delgado has been doing the job that Joe Carter is being paid to do, providing power and RBIs. Carter himself is possibly starting to come out of his slump, and somehow may still get 100 RBIs this year. Ed Sprague continues to play well and is emergingasanall-starcalibre third-baseman. The bullpen is improving and Kelvim Escobar has come up from the minors and impressed everybody. The Jays have an outside chance of nabbing the wild card spot. Baltimore will most probably be too much for the Jays to catch for the AL East lead. If the starting pitching stays consistent, and the offence can improve, a late season acquisition to bolster offence (two words: Mark M&wire) might vault this team into the playoffs, where thcirstarting pitching could carry them all the way to World Series. The chancesof this happening are slim, but any hope is better than none.

CR Leaders of the week Mike has done an absohrtely superb job as Ref-In-Chief for the ice hockey league. He has performed all of his duties, met every deadline and gone “above the call of duty” working for campus Recreation. Mike has kept himself busy with the hockey program this term. With the shortage of ice hockey officials, he has worked extra hard to get the pmes covered, And, many times, Mike has been the! one to fill in and cover the games. He is also a very reliable staff member and he sets a great example for everybody else, Thank you for your contribution to the ice hockey league and Campus Recreation program. Keep up the great work!

Zahra has been the Instructional Coordinator for several terms now. In her job, Zahra is responsible for the hiring, supervising and evaluating of instructors for all of the instructional programs, incltrding dance, Tai Chi, golf and many other classes offered by Campus Recreation. In this job, Zahra’s unending enthusiasm and hard work make her stand out, She is also actively involved with other activities on campus, but she still takes the time to make sure that everything gets done for Campus Recreation. Zahra is also the first to volunteer if anyone needs a little extfa hand. Thank you for your work with Campus Recreation and your smiles.

Question: If Mike Tyson was a baseball player, and he chewed off an opposing player’s ear, how many games would he be suspended for? I’d guess six. It’s worse than just spitting on somebody, but it’s still not as bad as cheating. Carlos Rogers: you’re an idiot. Walk away from $11 million over 6 years, because you feel that as an average player in the NBA, you deserve to be paid an average salary, which is slightly more than what you weregzcaronteed to make. Hey, if I was a one-dimensional, injury-prone moron, I’d probably do the same thing. Thankfully, I’m not. Remember when a baseball player had to prove himself, working hard in the minor leagues for that elusive chance at fame, success, and most importantly, that big payday? Not anymore. J.D. Drew, the second overall pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in this year’s amateur draft, wants a $10 million signing bonus. Yes, he has talent, but he’s onty proven it at the college level. Why demand so much? His agent is Scott Boras, the iiberass of sports agents. Last year, Boras utilized a small loophole which enabled his drafted clients to become free agents, and sign lucrative contracts. This year, in less than two months, he has already asked for a ridiculous contract, claimed the Phillies didn’t tender a contract properly (they sent it to his parents house, h:%cause theysomehow couldn’t get a complete home address for Drew), and threatened to question the constitutionality of the draft concept altogether. Not be-

by Greg Picken cause he cares about his clients’ best interests, but because he’s a greedy, greedy man. But, in baseball, the greedy man is king. Wouldn’t it be neat if ordinary jobs came with signing bonuses and trades? Here’s a little advice for NHL general managers: In 1995-Y& Luke Richardson had a pluslminus of -27, roughly as cold as the Alberta landscape. And he’s probably going to make in excess of$2 million next year. Yes, it truly is a seller’s market. I’m sorry, but $12 million over four years for Sammy Sosa? And $60 million over six years for Gary Sheffield. You had to expect a certain fallout from the mammoth Albert Bcllc deal from last year, but look at the facts! Belle gives you 45-50 home runs, well over 100 RBI’s, a ,300 average, extrabase hits, a few stolen bases, and that bad-ass marquee value. Sammy Sosa? At best, 40 homers, 100 RBI’s and a few stolen bases, but little more than a .25Oaveragc and absolutely nothing in the clutch. And Gary Sheffield? He’s injury-prone, has only had one great season, but probably had his hall of fame acceprance speech written in grade school. And for that $10 million? Florida is gctting ;7 robust .240 batting average, ar!d power production roughly on , LIT with Orlando blerced, VInot making $10 million a year. Maybe Orlando needs to hire Scott Boras as his agent? NFL, football is less than two months away! ! Quick prediction: The New York Giants fhrill bc pretty bad.

‘Punk rock points for H-olly Holl

McNarland

w/Jo K n Southworth, Derivation ikh. Robinson’s Thursday, July 3 by Darryl Kelman special to Imprint resh off the main stage at Edgefest ‘97, Holly McNarland graced our little town with an excitingperformante at Mrs. Robinson’s, There was a good crowd and a promise of good rimes as the opening acts got things underway. First up was John Southworth. Their quirky pop sound and interesting stage antics made me wish I had arrived a little earlier. Next up was Derivation, an up-and-coming (so I’m told) local talent. They have a good pop sound and put on a good show. However, they were not overly original and it seemed like they were crying too hard to fit in with the sounds of bigger pop acts in heavy rotatidn on CFNY.’ Holly McNarland cook centre stage next and promptly got the crowd grooving to singles from her releases Sour Pie and the more recent stuff. She played through all the crowd’s favourites like “Coward,” “E lmo,” and “Numb,” following it all up with

for a remarkable show, and that’s exactly what 1 got. They played mostly newer songs, mesmerizing the crowd like deer in headlights. While some danced and sang along, others were too wrapped up in her aura of all-around beauty and power. These are two features that she possesses both externally and in her lyrical content. It won’t be long before Holly is trademarked for her tendency to grasp her pants in awkward places, sometimes appearing to give herself wedgies as she belts out a soulful note or two. It’s an

endearing trait that adds a personal touch to her show. She’s obviously comfortable with issues that I always avoided for fear of being teased; 1 respect that. Her charmingly awkward jigs prove that she’s totally enveloped in the music she creates. I noticed Holly’s communication with the other members in her subtle cues to slow down, get louder, etc. She continually strives to make each song the best piece of work possible: never settling for “the same old thing.” In mid-concert, Holly stopped to introduce the band, including an anecdote about their newest guitarist getting laid at Edgefest. Accrediting him with ten punk rock points, she conveniently started in again with everyone’s favourite, “Mr. Five Minutes.” The end came far too quickly. Never ceasing until they walked off stage, the entire band doled out incredible levels of energy and passion. Called back for yet another encore, they did an even more remarkable version of “In the Air Tonight” than they did in Kitchener, I haven’t been so impressed with an artist in a very long time.

Box office intelligence Men in Black dire& by Bamy Sonmfdd Fairview, Kitchener by Greg Imprint

n this testosterone-and-special-effects filled summer, the real casualty so far has been m): brain cells. With such utterly brainless fare such as Speed i (Boat Won’t Stop), F$th ELment (All you need is love) andBatman & Robin (Crap), all these megamillion dollar budgets have failed to deliver one decent, smart script. Or so I thought. Then I saw 11Gn in B/Q&, and I saw the light. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones receive top billing inMen in B/&c&, but the real star is screenplay writer Ed Solomon. His script is tight, laugh-out-loud funny, and most of all, intelligent. It knows where’s its humour is coming from, and it takes full advantage in this hybrid of G40stb~ers and

the X-Files. If Soloman has one flaw, it’s that he’s a cat lover. But that’s a personal thing. The plot is nothing revolutionary, with the Men in Block, a secret government organization protecting and monitoring alien visitors on Earth. A “bug” crashes

3assy wzt12a capital S on Earth, and goes on a killing spree, leading to an alien threat: to destroy Earth. Humour ensues. You know the rest. Whar makes it work is the level of character development, and the intelligent way in which the characters are presented. Not at all the card board figures we’ve come to know. The acting is top-notch, as it

seems the roles have been perfectly tailored to each of the headtiners. Will Smith is, well, Will Smith.Sassy with a capital S, as he plays the newest recruit into the ultra secret MB. Tommy Lee Jones is the perfect straight man, yet still gets his share of laughs. Perhaps the greatest asset of this movie is its pace. %02 in Black checks in at around 90 actionpacked minutes, bucking the trend of uneven, two-hour plus epics. Sure, when the final credits roll, it feels abrupt, but not once during this movie was I tempted to check my watch to see how long I’d been sitting there. Besides, had I looked away from the screen, I would surely have missed something. Men in Mm+ may prove to be the best of the sci-fi blockbusters that dominate the theatres this summer, because it offers something that no amount of computer generated dinosaurs, spaceships or monsters can provide: a brain.

by Peter Lenardon Imprint staff At the base of it, Radiohead is a guitar band. P&O Hoplq was their three-chord debut. It had the hit “Creep,” and while the rest of it wasn’t particularly earthshattering, it showed they could write off-beat songs. Then came The Rend., an album which set Radiohead apart from the rest of the post-Seattle angst-rock crowd. It had some moody samples and spacey guitars, but above al1 it was a collection of golden rock tunes. Ok’ Conlptr~ is the next step in this evolution. This record is slick. The production quality is phenomenal. Layers of guitars, keyboards and other electronic sounds and Thorn Yorke’s trademark plaintive vocals swirl around, each surfacing at the right time and keeping your attention shifting from one neat sound to the next. Absorbing the whole thing requires headphones

and a dark room. 1t is not an “easy” album. It is dense and takes a number of times through to get a real sense of familiarity, W&mputer is too thick, too layered to wrap your mind around all at once. The lyrics have gone from ‘pour me’ angst to acid-tongued ire, with “kicking squealing gucci little piggy” in “Paranoid Android ,” “ we hope that you choke” from “Exit Music (for a film),” “this is what you get when you mess with us” from “Karma Police” and the sarcastic indictment of politics in “Electioneering.” Ok’ Conlputer also takes the music a step further into electronica while retaining the sweet intertwined guitar harmonies of The Ret& to lubricate the

rich mix of keyboard, drums and vocals. Just because the trend setters have cradcd in their plaid for polyester, it doesn’t mean that songs with themes of alienation with our modern technological world or disgust with the status quo and the pcoplc who preserve it are still viable themes for songs. The only complaint for this album may be that it is too slick. Over-produced. Too intellectual. 7’00 grandiose. ‘[‘hat may be a bir comment or simply a knee-jerk low4 reaction, bllt Ihe songs still shine through. The danger in attempting to make a masterpiece in the world of rock is that you come within a raxor’scdgc of looking like a bunch ofpompous asses. Well, Radiohead has already made a perfect rock album; it was called ne Red... With OK Computer, Radiohead accomplishes what many bands have tried and failed. They take guitar rock and give it depth, by adding intelligent thematic content and filling out the sound with less organic elements, without sounding like they bought keyboards and wrote songs around them.

Chore is a four piece from Dunnville, ON and Ano&+ Plebeiran is their full-length debut, The lads cite Faith No hiore and Tool as their influences, and that becomes evident quite quickly. Tracks like “Onloan Pacifier” and “Grand Excuse” have a definite Tool flavour to them. Mostly though, this album is filler. During a stretch of about six songs on the album it is difficult to distinguish where some songs end and others begin, due to their likeness in sound. There arc some bright spots though. “Accept the Ruin” has a brilliant edge to it in the six string and vocal parts and “Being Friendly” is just a great tune. These two tracks show that these Dunnville boys have promise; let’s hope they don’t wind up being commoners.

A little less “in yer fidce” this time around, Stuffcontains more personal songs that require interpretation by the listener. Whereas “Mr. Five hlinutes” on3’ourPjeis self explani tory, songs sL1ch as “the

itself is very much ti Megadeth album, as it ventures into somewhat new territory. There’s a bit of a move to a lower, growling sound, but the trademark choppy guitars are still present, and the sound is definitely Megadeth. They’11 never give up on that top hat cymbal either. A few of the songs on this album are strikingly old school thrash metal, which is like being back in high school, except that it isn’t the 80s anymore.

Megadeth’s dedication to their fans is commendable, especially given the success of their biggest rival, Metallica. It makes for an interesting contrast, with Mctallica happily declaring that their music was never about the fans, and hlegadeth saying that they didn’t want to disappoint their old school listeners. Whether this is a good thing or not depends on your feelings about the whole 80s metal scene, but it seems out t)f place with a11that’s happened since their first album.
