Laurier Student’s Union scores one for the little- guys by Tasmina Pate1 Imprint st&
W
ilfred Laurier University officials wrongfully allocated $ 525 698 that was intended for the student bursary fund towards a new work study/ bursary program. An investigation into the issue, which was instigated by WLU Students’ Union president Stewart Wong during the last week of June, has finally been concluded. The money will be reallocated to the student bursary fund, which will allow approximately 1 200 students to receive bursar& averaging $600 each. Bob Byron, senior assistant to the acting Vice-President of Finance and Administration, admitted that the complaints from the Students’ Union forced them to look closely into the new program and review the handling of the tuition fees. In particular, the portion going towards
student aid required some revision. According to Byron, an “honest mistake” had been made and the guidelines set out by the ministry had been misinterpreted. Due to the recent tuition hikes, the university was expected to increase its contributions to the student bursaryprogramby lOpercent in 1996and30percentin 1997. Instead, the university created a new work study/bursary program and budgeted the $525 698 to pay for existing oncampus jobs. Though in writing it appeared that the money was to be spent correctly, in actuality the money was going’to be spent on positions such as research assistants, class assistants and proctors. However, the ministry guidelines clearly state that the funds were to go towards new aid, and not towards existing programs. By creating the Wilfred Laurier University work. study/bursary program, officials simply re-
named the existing employment accounts as student aid. Students applying for on-campus positions were required co participate in the new program as well as sign a declaration of fmancial need. Previously, students were hired based on their qualifications alone. The new program caused concern among faculty and students, who feared that the best students for the jobs might not be hired. Andrew Berczi, former Vice President of Finance, was responsible for creating the work study/bursary program. He said he did not find the idea unreasonable, when he considered the university’s existing contribution to scholarship, bursary and job programs. Stewart Wong believes the reallocation of the funds is a victory for students and that the Student Union has performed well as a “watchdog” for the students of Wilfred Laurier. If not for the Union’s persistence in the matter, it is unlikely the discrepancy would. have been corrected.
UWk ten-year plan +’ Commission on Institutional Planning emphasizes importance of research by Adam Natran Imprint staff
0
n Monday, September 15, Jim Kalbfleisch, Vice-President, Academic and Provost, officially launched a ten year insti&tional plan for the University of Waterloo. The extensive blueprint encompasses graduate and undergraduate education, research, community relations and much more, and will influence UW decision making at all levels over the next five to ten years. The plan is the product of a consultation period initiated in 1994 by UW President James Downey. Working groups in such areas as cooperative and distance education, human resources and undergraduate teaching and learning all submitted reports to the Commission on Institutional Planning outlining the best way to promote university development. A statement of three essential goals to strive for was the final result. The goals were: to enhance academic excellence in teaching and research, to
strengthen the relevance of teaching and research, and to provide an enabling and supportive work/study environment. Under the first guideline, the university requires direct student participation. One recommendation demands astandard end-of-term evaluation of professors and course8. That is, a core set of questions should be answered by all students concerning their classes. In turn, these final
plan is research. Although. most recommendations deal with setting aside more time and money for work done by professors and graduates, the university realizes that undergraduates must also he allowed to take part in a “research-intensive” environment. The second objective, strengthening the relevance of teaching and research, is important because of the implications for
Greater workloads must be balanced with limited resources. evaluations may be supplemented by midcourse surveys and peer evaluations. Another suggestion focuses on the need to train teaching assistants. While some faculties already provide some form of training, such programs should be carried out campus-wide. One particular aiea stressed by the
co-operative and distance education. Given the scarcity of jobs and competition with other institutions offering similar co-op programs, it is suggested that UW reinforce links with employers. Perhaps a more immediate priority is to streamline the process of job placement and ensure that those people who do not get employment can
take advantage of spring course offerings. As far’ as distance’ education is concerned, the use of information technology to help deliver courses and increase communication with students is one possible change. The final goal, to provide an enabling and gupportive work/study environment, recignizds the adverse affects of funding cuts. Greater workloads must be balanced with limited resources. In order to cope with more duties, it is suggested that professors attend fewer meetings and that administrative processes be streamlined. When asked his opinion about the plan, Fed President Mario Bellabarba stated that it “represents an honest attempt to acknowledge the problems the university faces while simultaneously providing strong recommendations for improvement.” Although the final program may emphasize the importance of research, all areas of concern are covered. The UW Senate Long Range Planning Committee is left with the responsibility ofoverseeing the implementation of the ten year plan.

The program is a partnership between UW and firms such as Andersen and KPMG. The skills and resources that have been combined to offer the program are intended to result in an exceptional opportunity for students to move quickly into a challenging and rewarding career in taxation. The program’s 1 Z-course curriculum, developed by a select committee of professors and senior tax professionals, integrates knowledge from several social sciences with institutional knowIedge of taxation.

It is important to note that the ERL system is not replacing the pre-existing system, and in fact only offers access to a handful of heavily-used databases, some of, which won’t carry information dating as far back as that in the old sys tern. Says Margaret Hendley, Head of Reference Services at

In a groundbreaking operation, a doctor in Britain has cut offa woman’s head and screwed it back on again. What’s more, she’s grateful that he did it. Surgeon Steve Gill detached Bridget Fudgell’s head from her spinal column, leaving it connected by just the spinal cord, key blood vessels, and the skin at the front of her neck. Gill then cut a wedge from the base of her skull and the top vertebra before fixing her head back on with a metal plate and two screws, leaving her looking forwards. The 36year-old former secretary underwent the operation to correct a crippling condition which left her face pointed permanently downwards. Gill performed the operation in February, but presented it to the British Society of Neurosurgeons only last week.

Banff, Canada Banff National Park is a beautiful but fragile wilderness enclave in the Canadian Rockies and a popular tourist destination. In June, the Banff town council approved a new municipal plan which called for 850 000 square feet of commercial development. The plan alarmed environmentalists who say the park, a World Heritage Site, has already been environmen tally degraded. Canadian Heritage Minister Sheila Copps, who has publicly vowed many times to protect the park from further environmental damage, rejected the plan. Ms. Copps told the town council to develop a new municipal plan, one with no net environmental impact. Critics have aomplained that a federal minister should not override a local council. Reform Heritage critic Jim Abbott says Ms, Copps should take the advice of a broader range of Albertans, not just environmentalists. Ms. Copps defends her action: “We all feel that Banff is a part of us, and it goes far beyond a local planning issue.”

Residents of towns along the route showed their support for the Aboriginal group by giving them food and water. The Zapatista movement is campaigning for self-government, and is making an effort to raise awareness about the problems of poverty and oppression in the country.

Weasel hunting made easy by Peter Lenardon - Editor in Chief
CanadianUnity and the Fearof Death
T
he latest round of Canadian unity talks highlights something I believe to be a truth about politics in general: politics is driven by a fear of death. This fear exists, not only in what we commonly refer to as politics (although it is most in evidence there), but also in everyday life. Everywhere people exert themselves to make a mark, climb the ladder and exercise power. This breeds self-importance and go-for-the-throat, selfinterested, weasel-like behaviour of all kinds. The cause of all this crass behaviour is insecurity. It manifests itself in the person at the party who wants to be noticed or liked so much that they make an ass of themselves, or the otherwise clear-headed individuals who abuse their power, entertain delusions of grandeur and defend their own indefensible actions. “Yes, Quebec should be given preferential treatment because our culture in differendbetter than others in Canada.” The source of this insecurity, as with all forms of insecurity, is fear. Superficially, it is a minor or at least common fear, (i.e. fear of failure, fear that people will find out you are an idiot, fear that people won’t like you, etc.) But really, these fears are only manifestations of the underlying pathology: Fear of Death. When one stares into the Abyss, one realizes that the universe is vast beyond the scope of our understanding, that a human life lasts one trillionth of a nanosecond compared to the age of the universe, and is only a slightly larger portion of what we understand as human history. Finally, we will all die and there is no definitive description available for what happens after. That sort of realization scares the shit out of people (if you deny this, you are either stupid or lying). So, humans continually make up things to worry about between now and the Big Sleep. We invent arbitrary ordering systems Iike time and money and morality so we have something to take our minds off this existential angst. How else could someone devote their life to separating Quebec from Canada, or to the political arena in general? The unity issue is a gigantic fight over power, Quebec resents any non-French entities having power over them and the rest of Canada resents Quebec having more power than all the other provinces, With the rhetoric that has been flying around from Lucien Bouchard and the other premiers, there seems to be no solution that will pleas& both sides. How can this impasse be explained? Yep, Fear of Death. Howard Stern was right when he said the French think that speaking French is the greatest thing&in the world. This belief would be cooI if it wasn’t so futile. The French language and culture were not the same 100 years ago as they are today, and they will not be the same in 2097. No language or culture will be. Linguistic and cultural evolution are as unstoppable as the changing seasons, as inevitable as death. Yet, attempting to change this is something that separatists persist with instead of being French themselves and enjoying it; continuing to think of culture and language as notionssthat will exist forever as they do in their own lifetimes, scratching to control something they could never hope to. Language and culture will change. You will die. Meanwhile, in the Rest of Canada, we are busy trying to define our identity. Talk about creating something to worry about. Unable to cope with the Abyss and yearning for something to make our collision course with a final death more palatable, we feel the need to create ideas that are larger than ourselves. God and country. Canadian nationalism. Canadian identity, It’s all the same. Group definitions and activities like nationalism or tribalism have nothing to offer people in a post-modern country, which is what Canada is. We live together for certain practical purposes like community and common infrastructure, and we don’t need government programs and Heritage or Multiculturalism Ministries to tell us who we are. We are people. This is where we live. People are allowed to love the country in their own way. Or hate it. Do what you do. Measure it yourself. Don’t live for dead people. _

The Communist Antipasto by Andrew Imprint
Krywaniuk staff
I
t was the year of the great Census, All across Israel people returned to their home towns to be counted. No one even knew how many people there were! Somewhere, in a stable, Jesus was born. No one issued him a birth certificate or assigned him his Social Insurance Number. But we live in a time when our existence is much more closely monitored. Unlike communist Russia, there is no Big Brother, persf, but our every action leaves behind it an audit trail of potentially incriminating evidence. There’s nothing wrong with thar, right? Ifyou’re nor acriminal then you won’)t get caught. But the judicial system is not perfect. A man on the lam can’t work, get an education or even leave the country without risk of exposure. There have been cases of people who committed crimes and then felt such great remorse that they exiled themselves to some remote northern town where they lived a peaceful life until rhey were turned in by some over-zealous neighbour. This could never have occurred before the modern age of instantaneous communication. Technology has made it easier to catch criminals, but it has also made society less forgiving. If you go bankrupt, you can start over with a clean financial slate, but you can’t restore a blemished reputation. As it did during the industrial revolution, technology is going to cause a political swing to the left. Demand for factory workers is
decreasing as automation becomes more cost efficient, but demand for creative people will also lessen as copyright laws become easier to break. Already, CD quality music is readily available on the Internet and movies are easily pirated. Books are also available on the Internet, but digital books are not popular yet because, let’s face it, most people don’t want to take their computers to bed. In theory, this should be the golden age of Western Civilization. Like the citizens of ancient Greece, we could spend all day lying around on couches, eating grapes and discussing philosophy. But as their skills become obsolete, people are going to start questioning their rQiso7~ d’&~ Music, art, and literature will be created solely for the sense of accomplishment, not money. The comforts of a high-tech lifestyle will be available to all. It sounds like a paradise, but: this is where man’screative instincts take a selfdestructive turn. A nuclear bomb cannot be set off by accident, but one well-meaning scientist could develop a machine that will wipe out the entire planet. When I was young, I was afraid of nuclear weapons. I was convinced that I would live to see World War III. But now I realize that man will not destroy himself through such a simple act of mass destruction. That would be far too inglorious a demise for our race. Rather, man will be destroyed by his own cleverness, and I will be here to watch, laughing, as the human race is annihilated by evil robots or consumed by voracious swarms of nannices.

he provincial government introduced a dangerous piece of legislation on June 2 - Bill 136, the Public Sector Transition Stability Act. It eliminates free collective bargaining in Ontario and thousands of workers will lose their jobs if it is allowed to pass into legislation. The Public Sector Transi tion Stability Act is supposed to help employers deal with labour relations problems that will arise when amalgamations and mergers take place. The government says that Bill 136 ensures that amalgamations will be done quickly, smoothly, and in a fair manner. The legislation is in fact designed to reduce wages and benefits, and to outsource the jobs of people who work for municipalities, school boards, utilities, social service agencies, and other employers. The government’s downloading and dramatic fundingcuts are forcing many employers to jump on the privatization bandwagon. Bill 136 takes away the right to bargain union contractS the way we have done for decades. The Mike I-Iarris government will choose people to sit on two undemocratic commissions: the Labour RelationsTribunal Commission and the Dispute Resolution Commission. An employer can
refer the collective agreements to these commissions. They can decide whether or not workers will be represented by a union, decide what union will represent the workers and change the terms of the collective agreement. They can delete job security language, lower wages and abolish benefits. They can do all of this without donsulting unions. Once decisions about the collective agreements are referred to the commissions, the workers lose their right to strike. Here are some important points to keep in mind: l The Bill gives the employer the right to apply directly to the Dispute Resolution Commission to impose a new collective agreement. l The commissioners are not elected or selected by negotiation. They are hand-picked by the government. l Bill 136removes the two most
important incentives for the employer to be ar the bargaining table: the right to strike and a fair systemofarbitration for those who cannor: strike. l Bill 136 is a win-win situation for employers. Employers will be able to gut our collective agreements and pin the responsibility on the commission. l The decision of these commissions cannot be appealed at the labour board or in a court of law. All of these changes are being orchestrated by a provincial government that believes in privatization at any cost. Some brave school boards and municipal employers have publicly opposed Bill 136 on the grounds that it is unethical, unnecessary, and will create labour strife. Unions have negotiated many amalgamations and mergers under the existing Ontario Labour Relations Acr. There is no need for a new law. If this government succeeds in stripping the job security, wages and benefits of workers in the broader public sector, it will quickly mount an attack on the contracts of ail other unionized workers. It will also proceed wieh its plans to take away the rights of non-union workers, by dismantling the Employment Standards Act.

ollerblading is still banned on UW’s campus.. .but we’re getting closer to changing thae. There are a lot of students out there who don’t know this, but rollerblading is not allowed on this campus. Most people wouldn’t know this unless they were stopped on their way to class by one of UW’s finest, and upon finding out, about one in ten rollerbladers marches over to my office to ask me “What the hell is up with that?” My answer is usually something along the lines of, “I’m looking into it.” Well, I have been looking into it, and things look promising, but there’s still some work to be done. So, you may be wondering, why was rollerblading banned on campus to begin with? Well, when rollerblades first appeared on campus about four or five years ago, they were considered somewhat of a novelty item that was only useful for recreational or exercise purposes. For this reason, rollerblades weie lumped in with ‘skateboards, roller-skates and of
course, roller-skis, as items that were not: welcome on our campus. Two other issues raised were how much room rollerbladers take up on the roadways and pathways, and of possi ble rollerblader/ pedestrian incidents. While I don’t particularly wish to argue the merits of the reasoning behind the above statements (some of which I agree with, and some of which I do not), these are the mai? reasons why rollerblading is banned on campus. So, you might be askingyourself, “What’s different now?” Well, the answer is that students are coming into my office and telling me that they aren’t rollerblading just for kicks. Students are rollerblading to school as an alternative means of transportation. That changes things pretty drastically, and at a meeting of the Joint Health and Safety Committee on Wednesday, it was decided chae the issue of allowing rollerblading on campus should
be revisited by the director of the Safety Office (Kevin Stewart), and two other committee members, myself included. In a nutshell, we are going to try to figure out if we can permit rollerblading on our campus in a way that addresses all the concerns that have ‘been brought forward in the past. Now, before you go off rollerblading across campus, this is a friendly reminder thar the idea of allowing whole rollerblading on campus is just that, an idea. It’s an idea that will take a lot of work, and we likely won’t know the results until well after the snow flies. In the meantime, the UW Police can still stop you and issue you a $25 fine if they catch you rollerblading. If you have got anything you would like me to add to ttre discussion, drop me a line in the Fed Office, phone me at 888-4567, x2478, or drop me a message at fedpres@feds. And to all those who got my “I’m workin’ on it,” response. . .be patient, I’m still workin’ on it.

anotechnology is one of those great new buzzwords that keep popping up everywhere. Essentially, it refers to technology that operates on an extremely small level. This definition is often misinterpreted to imply that nanocechnology will only be useful in performing operations on a microscopic level. In reality, nanotechnology could be used in diverse applications, from medical technology to the construction of apartment buildings. A few years ago, nanotechnology seemed like it was decades away. The physical obstacles inhibiting the manipulation of individual atoms require extremely precise techniques, and those techniques once seemed beyond our grasp. But recent advances in the field have shown that complex nanotechnological devices are not as far away as they once seemed, The first major breakthrough occurred in 1989, when researchers learned how to organize groups of individual atoms into complex patterns. For example, scientists at IBM spelled the letters IBM with 35 atoms (and patented the result). Last year, scientists at IBM Zurich created what they call the first molecular abacus. A Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), itself a product of nanotechnology, is used to push bucky ball (Carbon 60) molecules across a groove in a copper surface that is only one atom deep. Earlier this year, Dustin Carr, a grad student in physics at Cornell University, built the world’s smallest guitar. Using a CAD program, the guitar was designed on a computer before it was etched into silicon. What is special about the guitar is that the strings, which measure only 100 atoms in diameter, can actually be plucked using dn atomic force microscope. Unfortunately, ihe sound is too faint to be heard by the tluman ear. If the world’s smallest guitar had been an electric guitar, then it could have been connected to the world’s smallest amplifier. Scientists at Il3M Zurich noticed that when the ubiquitous bucky ball is squeezed by the tip of an STM, its electrical properties are changed slightly. The resulting voltage gain from an amplifier circuit that exploits this variation is a paltry five, but the idea that an amplifier can be built out of a single ‘molecule is nothing less than fantastic. To the casual eye, these accomplishnrents don’t amount to much more than a pile of atoms. They are just gimmicks like a plotless movie that is simply a vehicle for its special effects. However, nanotechnology has billions ofapplications. Almost anything we do now, from building computers
to building

done more cheaply or more accurately with advanced nanotechnology. The key to converting nanotechnology from a research field to an engineering field is the design of the Universal Construction Machine (UCM). This machine would take streams of pure elements as
inputs and produce any chemically stable arrangement of atoms as an output. The UCM could have microscopic gears and pulleys, and it might look like a very granular scale model of a conventional machine. However, the design of this machine is
If you think about it, the nannite construction process is almost analagous to the way our bodies grow out of a single cell. Our DNA is a universal construction machine that contains the information needed to build all of the various types of cells in our bodies. Then, the different -types of cells replicate in order to form all the various organs in our bodies. In this sense, our Door Production Machine is essentially growing a car door out of its component elements. Nanotech researchers are also intent on using their technology to vastly increase the speed of personal computers. Most current research focuses on increasingcomputer power by hooking up large networks of processors in parallel and by increasing the density of transistors that can fit on a silicon chip. While conventional technology is still improving dramatically, nanotech advocates insist that current methods can only progress so far before they succumb to the physical limits of nature. Researchers of the Hybrid Technology Multi-Threaded (HTMT) architecture believe that in ten years they will have designed a new type of computer that will circumvent these physical limits. The computer will run at 100 GHz, a thousand times faster than an average computer today, and will employ superconducting circuits that are cooled by liquid nitrogen. The amount of data storage that is needed to make efficient use of such a powerful processor is so vast that it will have to be stored optically in a holographic crystal. It sounds like something ous of

very complex, so don’t expect to see it any time soon. Designing the UCM would be a major milestone. Once that is accomplished, the rest of the process is equivalent software design. Say we wanted to design an automobile. First, we would design the UCM and then we would feed it various programs to design all the various intermediate construction machines (ICMs). The ICMs would be specifically desi&ned to do a variety of things. The first generation of ICMs would most likely be employed tpconstruct other typesof ICMs. In order to design a car door, we would first make a whole army of Door Construction Machines, each of which manufactures a small fragment of a car door. Now we have a Door Production Machine that we can us& to mass-produce car doors. A similar approach could be used to manufacture almost any kind of object we need, to a very high degree of precision. Diamonds

be prohibi-
tively expensive, as they could be manufactured out of raw carbon. Medical nannites could enter the bloodstream and cure infections. Complex nannites could be used as intelligent building material that could be programmed to retain heat in the winter and absorb heat in the summer.
The factor that usually limits clock speed is the propagation delay of the chip. Data requires a certain amount of time to travel across the chip and stabilize to a discrete value. Most computers require that the clock speed be slow enough that all intermediate data on the chip has set-
tled between clock edges. However, even with liberal use of optical pathways between chip elements, the data on the HTMT computer will not be able to traverse the entire chip length in a single clock cycle. Thus, the HTMT design is nove1 because, in addition to performing the requisite calculations quickly, it must also be capable of deciding when a process is ready to begin. The HTMT initiative is not the onI>. profoundly new approach to computer design. Another new field of research is that of self-optimizing computer hardware. Uptimization is not new to computer programming. Typically, software designers will run profiling software co determine where the bottlenecks occur in a computer program. Then they will focus on making those sections of code run as quickly as possible. Many companies have entered the niche market of designing custom chips which provide hardware implementations of often used software programs, thus speeding up the execution of these programs. Self-optimizing hardware takes the idea one step further. A profiler monitors the type of operations that are being pcrformed the most frequently. Then it reconfigures sections of the computer’s processor in order to opcimize these operations. While these approaches to computer design differ from the nanotech concept of nannites because they are still designed at quite a high level, they do qualify as nanotechnology because their components need to be so accurate that the position of individual molecules is essential to the design. The HTMT architecture is a realistic prediction of what computer hardware may look like in the future, but I suspect that the self-organizing hardware idea is just a pipe dream,

eather patterns in the winter of 1982 seemed completely out of control. Weather-related disasters hit across the world as various areas suffered drought and forest fires, while other areas were hit by heavy rains, sometimes up to 22 times the normal rainfall for a year. All told, the ‘82 El Nifio was blamed for over twelve billion dollars in damages. This weather pattern hit the earth with &ch force that the angular momentum of the Earth was shifted by the wind patterns. Since that winter, El Nifio has become a much-hyped weather phenomenon. It is once again in the news this year, with predictions of another strong El Nifio to disrupt our winter weather. But what is this weather condition, and how did it come about? El Nifio is characterized by a drop in the trade winds in the western Pacific, which results in a rise in the surface temperature of the sea, and as a result, rainfall and warmer weather. This is simple enough, but what causes this drop in winds and rise in temperature is not known. Various hypotheses ranging .
from volcanoes to underwater crust extruding rates have been proposed, but nothing has been positively connected as of yet. What is known at this point is that the cycle time for warm water conditions is about four years, while El Nifios can come anytime
strong this year, but given the fact that strong signs are already visible, it’s likely there will be a measurable impact. The Climate Prediction Centre/NCEP has issued an El Niiio advisory which described heavier than normal tropical rainfalls in

two to seven years apart. The largest El Nifio to date was that of 1982-1983, which actually had lingering effects as recently as 1995. However, that should change this year, as 1997’s El Nina has already far outpaced the last four recent patterns, ineluding that of 1982. This isn’t a guarantee that the system will be

So what does this mean for skiers out there? Well, warmer than usual weather conditions are predicted for much of North America, so you might want to

look into alternative activities for the winter. While any El Nifio predictions have to be taken with a grain of salt, Canada can be summed up fairly easily: Warm everywhere south of the Northwest Territories, wet in most of British Columbia, and oddly enough, dry in the southern parts of Newfoundland, along with much of the central to Midwestern areas of Canada. While this is going on, California should be enjoying much colder than usual temperatures, and Texas will manage to be both cold and wet, for once in its life. This might all sound trivial, but you have to remember what happened in ‘112, which was a smaller El Nifio than this year’s is likely to be. The El Nifio weather pattern is generally taken quite seriously, so much so that the United States Army has done research into its possible hazards, including one that could spell trouble for Eastern Asia’s food supplies in the next year. Generally, El Nifio patterns can have a deleterious effect on crops of any sort. Alternation between seasotis of too much sun and too much rain can be a serious problem, especially for rice-based agriculture. This will be especially true

in Southeast Asia, including the currently destitute and starving North Korea. While North Korea may be getting rain associated with this system, it will likely be so much that it could drown what little is currently growing in that country. This will be a problem here in Canada as well, because the prairie provinces are going to be havingwarm and dry winters. This is hardly a recipe for a bountiful harvest of grain in the next year, even with irrigation. It probably won’t be another good wine year, either. And so, El Nifio is going to be back with us again this year, causing us some inconvenience in the form of an unusually warm winter. Considering what much of the rest of the world may go through, some warm dry weather sounds pretty good from here.

henIwasakid,Idreamt about livingina bigcity. After spending 20 odd years in the prairies, I imagined Montreal as a cultural utopia, a vortex filled with history and architecture, where language and art thrived. My desire to live in Montreal never waned, despite political tension and economic uncertainty. I happily accepted an eight month work term in my dream city, a position my envious Montrealais friends wished was theirs. Hedonism. The only word in the English language that comes close to describing Montreal. In this city, there is no time for laundry, dishes, or mediocrity. You only need walk down St. Denis to find yourself seduced by ethnic cuisine, French cafes, galleries and street musicians, hats propped against ornate facades entertaining hip passers-by. In Montreal, the rest of the world ceases to exist when you realize there is no greener grass than at the mountain on a Sunday afternoon, where thumping bongos, sunshine and vendors entertain freaks, tree-
huggers, punk rockers and everyone in between. Everywhere in Montreal the sweet smell of ganja wafting through crowds is a constant reminder you’re somewhere special, a place where morals are left outside the city limits.

around, the chefs-turned tour guides-spun me into a wild vortex of readings, art openings, festivals and live bands. My diet of beer and pot had taken its toll after six months, and that’s when I knew I was a true Montrealer.
Montrealers all seem to have one thing in common-they always have a good time. My memories of Montreal stick to me like Velcro. My whole work term felt like a juicy scene out of a Hunter S. Thompson novel, minus the machetes and crank. Montreal inspired and enlightened me as much as I came to fear and loathe it. Simply put, the problem with Montreal is that it’s too much fun. Confused by this paradox? Try spending eight months in this town only if you thrive in chaos, debauchery and
cause they’ve learned the art of indulgence, but because they make wonderful friends who know how to ease outsiders into their way of life. I stepped off the train onto a infinite red carpet that never made me feel any less than a queen the entire time I spent in Montreal. I was immediately adopted into a clan of Montrealers who did everything in style. The biweekly, often tri-weekly, feasts they ‘cooked kept me smiling through an infamously brutal winter. By the time summer rolled
By Canadian standards, Montreal is considered a “big” city, yet oddly enough, it has a smalltown aura; the people are down to earth, warm and lacking the innate pretense of most urban dwellers. After two months, I couldn’t walk two btocks from home without bumping into a familiar smiIe. Punctuality, or lack thereof, is another anomaly compared to other cities like Toronto; it’s OK to sleep off a hangover, show up two hours late for work and make people wait. Coming from a famiIy where punctuality is a virtue, it took me
awhile to catch onto this unfamiliar schedule. My job, combined with an intense social schedule, rounded out my Montreal experience, making my life the envy of everyone around. When I arrived in Montreal, all I knew was that I was cranking out technical manuals for a software company. What I didn’t realize was the unique working environment and special group I’d be writing for. The first day on the job I walked off the elevator, stumbled toward the office door and thought I’d accidentally burst into Jean Gauthier’s studio: at any minute I expected Cindy Crawford to saunter around the corner donning the new spring collection. The stunning office was not something anyone would expect a high-tech sweat shop to look like, I pulled the crumpled paper out of my back pocket and stared at the scribbles, figuring I’d either written down the wrong address or I was in the throes of an acid flashback. If the latter were the case, I had no choice but to roll with it, so when the leggy receptionist motioned toward an overstuffed white leather couch, continued

There have been studies on expectancy that have shown that our expectations can colour what happens in reality.

Save your empties! By saving your empty beer bottles, you could be helping to find a cure for diabetes. This month, The Beer Store and the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) are running the sixth annual “Case for a Cure” campaign. On September 27, simply take your empty bottles to any Beer Store in Ontario, where representatives of the CDA will be on hand to accept your donation, By making this contribution, you will be donating to diabetes research, advocacy and education. The CDA is certainly a-cause worthy of your donation. By the year ZOOO, it is estimated that more than 100 million people worldwide will suffer from the
disease. Although insulin, diet and exercise can control the condition, there is no cure. The annual bottle drive also helps to protect the environment, reusing the bottles instead of sending them to landfill sites.

She rocketed the ball high enough to clear the goalkeeper’s outstietched arms, yet low enough to add another goal to the already impressive Waterloo lead.

Men inWarriors Black still #l in Canada win big despite 17 penalties by Greg Imprint
Picken staff
T
here are times in sports when the final score does not accurately reflect the game itself. Such was the case on Saturday, when the Warriors defeated the Windsor Lancers 36-15. Impressive on the surface, but on the field, not quite as impressive. The key statistic to draw from this game is the 17 penalties the Warriors took, costing them 110 yards of turf. This left the team in first and long situations, forcing the air game into action, in effect, neutralizing the ground game. Racking up over one field-length in penalties will kill the Warriors hopes against the better teams like Western or Guclph. Perhaps the best example of the undisciplined style came from cornerback Eric Pauyo Jr. on his 60 yard interception return for a touchdown. On his way into the endzone, he was flagged for taunting the opposition. Once in the endzone, he doffed his helmet and was flagged again. The saving grace for Pauyo is that the 30 yards in penalties he accumulated didn’t come back to hurt the Warriors. At the midway point of the second quarter, the Warriors were dominant on both sides of the ball, pushing the score to 27-O. Jarrett Smith broke off touchdown runs of 63 and 29 yards and Kyan Wilkinson ran the option for a 15 yard score. Arek Bigos provided the rest of the offense in

downs, with Wilkinson and Haidner adding 40 and 21 yards respectively. In the air, Ryan Wilkinson had another poor performance in terms of completion percentage, hitting only five of 15 attempts, but he showed more confidence in running the offense. Also noteworthy, none of the passes were intercepted, for the second straight game. One encouraging note for the Warriors offense was the performance of backup quarterback Ryan Butler, who closed out the fourth quarter after Wilkinson came up limping. Butler completed five passes in six attempts, showing poise in the pocket, and emphasizing the Warriors’ depth at the quarterback position. On defense, nose tackle Rob McMurren &as the standout, recording six tackles and 3.5 sacks, wreaking havoc in the Lancerbackfield throughout thegame. Defensive backs Tory Locker and Pauyo both grabbed passes from Windsor QR Morgan Gallagher. Despite a 17 for 32 performance by Gallagher, the Warrior defense limited the Lancers to only 141 yards in the air, and just 61 on the ground. Playing against twoof the weaker teams in the OUA, the Warriors have shown that they have all the elements to be a completely dominant team, but they’ve also shown signs that they can have trouble with discipline and conistency. If they can put it all together against the Yeoman this week, it will go a Iong way towards establishing them as the team to beat.

Athenas stick it to the opposition on, Waterloo dominated the field, leaving McGill with few opportunities to score. This was largely due to the stellar play of Captain Wallace Creighton. Veteran Bernice Willemse led the parade of goals followed by Joanne Fernandez. Kare Mason paddled the 2-O lead with two goals one minute apart. Willemse rounded out the scoring with her second goal of the game for the S-O victory.

The Warriors played with a fierce intensity from their starting kick-off, where captain Mackenzie Jaims ran down and caught the ball. They would retain possession in Badger territory for most of the game. Later in the game, after an error, it seemed as though the Badgers would breach the Warrior try-line, but they would be repelled and Waterloo’s line would remain uncrossed. Michael Lippert was cho-

Last Saturday, the Warriors hosted the Carleton Ravens at Columbia Lake, who offered little resistance in the face of Waterloo’s offensive onslaught.

All new for ‘97: Ontario University Athletics by Liz
Monk-Williams Imprint staff
T
hose of you who have been away from campus for the past few months may not be aware that there is a new body governing university sports in Ontario. As of July 1, 1997, Ontario University Athletics (OUA) will now coordinate all sports at the university level. The OUA is compose’d ofeighteen representatives from .universities across the province and will arrange and coordinate the scheduling, championships, rules and regulations for all university-level sports teams in Ontario. Marketing, TV contracts and promo6ons will also be handled by the newly amalgamated organization. In the past, this task was handIed by twoseparate associations, the Ontario University Athletics Association (OUAA) and the Ontario Women’s Interuniversity Athletic Association (OWIAA). The OWIAA was founded to give women a bigger profile in university sports and succeeded at a
graphic
time when female athletics was not receiving the attention it deserved. However, with growing communication between the two factions, it became clear that in order to efficiently address issues facing both associations (including
that of gender equity) one governing body would be the more cost-and-time effective option. Cuts to administrative overhead and downsizing will reduce expenses, free: ing more funds to go back into OUA’s various programs.

As you may or may not have heard by now, Pete Rose, baseb,all’s all-time hits leader, is looking to get himself reinstated into baseball. Rose was banned from the game for life by the late former commissioner Bart Giamatti for allegedly gambling on baseball, and quite possibly on his own team. I say allegedly because Rose to this day denies that he ever bet on baseball, and Giamatti never actually showed any conclusive proof of such. The oniy thing we can go on is a letter Rose signed agreeing to his lifetime ban. It has been eight years since Rose was banned from the game. His ban has kept him from taking his rightful place in the BasebalI Hall of Fame along with other legends. Rose desperately wants to get back in the game he loves so much, and it is now looking like he will try. His lawyer recently met with the lawyer for interim commissioner Bud Selig, and although the details of that meeting are not known, it’s a safe bet that Rose is testing the waters to find out his chances for reinstatement. Unfortunately, those chances are looking slim. Selig is already hinting that he will not support Rose’s bid for reinstatement, and since baseball’s executive committee, the so-called final say on the matter, has nevergone against Selig, Rose will be fighting an uphill battle. Apparently, Rose’s gambling is still a stumbling block, since he compromised the integrity of the game. Hmm, so Selig says that Rose shouldn’t be allowed back into baseball because he has damaged the integrity of the game. Just for a moment, let’s take a look at Mr. Selig as commissioner, shall we? l Instituted new divisjons and a new playoff format that mcludes non-division winning wild cards

Does baseball even have any integrity anymore?

baseball, he does not deserve to be outlawed from the game for life. He was everything that a baseball player should be. He worked as hard as any baseball player ever has. He hustled his ass off game in and game out. He is one of the greatest hitters of all time. These are the things that Pete Rose should be remembered for, not some evil renegade whose name should live in infamy forever. He should be in the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Shame. Pete Rose did not kill baseball. Hence, he should not get a life sentence from the game. On the other hand, Bud Selig seems to be doing everything he can to kill baseball. Yet, he’s still in charge. I wonder if baseball would be better served by switching the roles of the Rose and Selig. That way, Charlie Hustle himself, the epitome of all that baseball is, would be in charge of the game, and Selig would be the disgraced bastard who was run out of the game for trying to ruin it. But that would be poetic justice, and justice is not a word in Major League Baseball’s vocabulary.

The Weekend Warrior is a new and recurring feature in Imprint Sports. It will examine common injuries affecting athletes at the professional, amateur and pick-up levels, how to prevent: them, and how to care for them. If you have any questions you’d like answered, or would like to offer a piece, send it to sports@imprint.uwaterloo.ca or contact Greg Picken at 888-4048, by Natalie Imprint

Gillis staff
ecause of the constant pounding, bending and twisting that athletes put their knees through, they are perhaps the most frequent site of wear-and-tear on the Weekend Warrior. With few exceptions (like being taken down by a 250 pound line-backer), most knee injuries are caused by the pounding and rubbing of tissues associated with running. Unlike ligament damage, which is most often caused by acute trauma, the more common knee injuries occur to the tissues around the joint itself, as a result of wear and tear on the knee. For example, one of the most frequent knee injuries is called chondromalacia, also known as “runner’s knee,” This is a softeningofthecartilageofthe knee cap (patella). Because cartilage does not have as extensive a blood supply as the surrounding tissues, it relies on intermittent compression (from the flexing of the knee joint) to squeeze out waste products and allow nutrients to enter the cartilage from the surrounding joint fluid. If, during running, the patella does not glide up and down smoothly in its femoral groove (this gliding motion is referred to as tracking), portions of the patella may be subject to either too much or too little stress. Waste removal and nutrient supply may therefore not occur properly in these areas, causing the cartilage to deteriorate and become vul-
nerable to irritation. Chondromalacia often leads to patellofemoral pain syndrome, where the irritation of the cartilage causing inflammation of the surrounding soft tissues. Athletes witl experience pain around or behind the patella. Typically, the pain sets in midway through a run (or running intensive activity) and need not be present at the onset of activity. Pain may also be experiencedaftersittingtoolongorwalking down stairs. A grinding sensation or sound may also be noted. So, how does one prevent this seemingly unavoidable wear and tear? Because the vast majority of running injuries are due to overtraining, the key lies in pacing oneself. Increases in mileage and speed should be gradual. Stretching is equaIly important; make sure that the quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles have been appropriately loosened before starting any vigorous running activity. Further, because warm muscles stretch more and are less likely to tear, a warm-up is ideal. Improper footwear is a common mistake and source of knee pain. Selecting the correct running shoe for one’s foot type and activity is important. Shoes should be replaced regularly, as shock absorbing capacities diminish as the shoe gets older, and may not provide adequate support after 350 to 550 miles. When preventive measures fail, there are several treatment options for chondromalacia and patellofemoral pain syndrome. The most important is rest. De-

Donjoy knee brace.
spite when that race or big game is, injured tissues need time to heal. And, because blood supply to cartilage is less than to other tissues, cartilage requires an extra long time. Injured athletes should avoid downhill running, which places added stress on the knee, as do bent-knee exercises. Ice will reduce swelling, while heat increases blood flow to an area, helpingclear away waste products and bring in more nutrients. At times, it may be determined (by a physician) that the patella requires extra support to track properly in the femoral groove. In such cases, a knee brace may be worn. Quadriceps strengthening and stretching exerciees may also help. The vastus medialus (the tear-drop shaped muscle on the inside of the thigh, just above the knee) generally helps stabilize the patella and prevents it from tracking impropoerly. Exercises which strengthen this muscle without placing significant stress on the underside of the patella may be suggested. Early recognition and treatment of knee injuries will allow athletes to continue participating in sporting activities with minimal disruption. On the other hand, ignoring pain and other signs of injury may lead to severe damage and long-term disability. Do not ignore pain! Finally, none of the information given here should be used as a substitute for a doctor or physiotherapist’s diagnosis. If you feel you have a knee injury, walk, don’t run, to your nearest sports therapy clinic and have it checked out by a professional.

What is different about Adam & Eve? It’s quite different, quite radically different. We went about recording this record in a different way.
Do you think that this concept is facking in a lot of music today? Yes. The CD era has discouraged people from making records like that. It encourages people to put so much material on a CD and get 78 minutes of songs on a CD, which, for me, is too much. I wanted to make something short enough for people to lisIs this why there are ten to at one time. The no really hard tracks medium doesn’t really like ‘4Hole” or “Litencourage that.

One lump or two? ’ The Tea Party WI Finger 11 September

Mid-Eastern drums and sitar marked the arrival of the Tea Party. Jeff Martin and Co. quietly strode onto the stage where Martin (the band’s singer/guitarist) quickly took to the microphone,
“So.. *How hard do you guys want
hile Fed Hall has had its share of problems over the last few years in terms of low attendance and crappy music, it has always been an excellent spot to take in a live show. Friday night was no exception, with The Tea Party and Finger 11 sharing main stage duties, and serving up a generous helping of melodic tunes to a rockhungry crowd. Finger 11, formerly the Rainbow Butt Monkeys, kicked things off with a trio of offerings from their new album 7’$, a collection of alternative rock ala I Mother Earth, only less catchy. The audience responded well though, reaching a near fever pitch of moshing by the time the band’ settled in to some of their more -familiar songs. “Circles” being one of the more noteworthy of their set, Unfortunately, it was the older Butt Monkey songs that stood out; maybe they should have stuck with the old tunes.

Did you accomplish that, or were there changes once you were in the recording process ? Things changed a little bit, but no. . .it was the only time we’ve ever gone into a record with some kind of plan of what we wanted out of the record. We stuck to it. We used every technique we could to make the record feel as one with itself and to draw people into the record.

the songs, or do they evolve? They have evolved. We spent nine months rehearsing and writing, and going over and over and over these tunes. What we wanted to be in a position todo was know the songs extremely well when we went into the studio. Most bands will tell you that the best time to record an album is when you’ve just finished touring it, when you know the songs the best. Unfortunately, it’s usually the other way around - you write the songs and suddenly you have to record them. We wanted to be a position where we’d played these songs a lot so we felt comfortable with them, to mimic that feel that we’d just come off tour. Are the arrangements more complicated this time round? Yes. I think it might not be more complex, but we’re using a lot of different instrumentation. We just putalotofstuffonitandsawwhat worked, tried a lot of different instrumentation. Tried different things. Because we had the basic foundations of the songs veryconfidently worked out, we felt that we could then sprinkle them with this . ..fairy dust and start screwing around with them a little bit. l

What inspired the empathy on this album? They’re all people songs, whether they’re people operating on their
own or people who have some kind of relationship with each other. They’re all personal accounts of how I see people getting on with each other. It’s always intriguing to me. Its about betrayal and deceit, and trust and lack of trust. Do you think you write a lot of songs about sex? Indirectly probably, yes.
Is the first
single “Delicious” one of those? Not much. It has an eroticism to it, but it is not principally about sex.It’s about temptationand succumbing to temptation and about feeling angry about the fact that you succumbed to temptation. You’ve translated this without using a bunch of really loud guitars. How did you accoma plish this? It’s an atmosphere on the record which has a lot to do with acoustic instrumentation. The subject matter of the songs demanded something that was warmer. I imagine a record like a film, in that if you see a successful film; the reason you’re hooked on it is because you see some identification with the characterization in the movie. I felt that we needed to do that. We needed to get people on our side early on in the record and feel that they were somehow connected to the record, that the record was within their sphere of understanding, if you like. And you don’t do that, you don’tencourage people toget into a record by winding your Marshall stacks up to eleven and clobbering people around the head. Hopefully we’ll be more skillful in our use of volume. This album was originally going to be called Valentine. Why was it changed? We just felt that we--preferred Adam &4+-e. Adam & Eve is more about the songs. Why was the release moved back from June until late Au= gust? We were just making sure everything was ready and in place. What’s next? Another album that works as a whole? Probtibly. I think this record revealed something. . .I think its going to be more of this.

vocalist who could have been Mazzy Star in disguise were all in attendance. This British band on the G&en label had one or two decent songs, but for the most part, their performance wasn’t impressive. There was some polite clapping after each song, however it wasn’t until they announced. , “this will be our last one” that I actually heard some people in the audience cheer. In the interlude between main attractions there were some really great sets spun by drum and bass DJ’s which got some of the younger people in the crowd dancing. Looking around at everyone else it was pretty obvious they were here to see the Sneaker Pimps. With the release of just one album, this group has already developed a wide fan base of modern dance, trip hop lovers, and Goths, all of which turned up at this show. However, once the Sneakers took the stage there was no doubt the key personality of the group was vocalist Kellie Dayton. With her svelte appearance, smooth vocals and sultry dancing about in ‘that dress, she had everybody’s attention on center stage. Basically the extent of the performance was a faultless run through of the album, B~~~rning X. They did play somewhat altered versions of the ever-popular “Spin Spin Sugar” and ‘%-Underground”, two songs which have
been remixed to hell by countless numbers of DJ’s and other artists. The highlights of the show were very good live renditions of “Post Modern Sleaze”, “Tesko Suitide”, and the last song of the night, “Low Place Like Home”. Overall, there wasn’t much action on the stage other than

t’s rare that at a club like Fed Hall, you will find two such diverse acts sharing the same stage. The Gandharvas and Great Big Sea are two bands without much in common musically, and it definitely hurt each of their performances. The Gandharvas opened the show and immediately got their few fans rocking to tracks from their newest release, Sold For A &rile. They pounded out “Gonna Be So Loose”, “Watching a Girl”, and “Downtime,” with loads of energy that ,unfortunately, most of crowd was lacking. The hit “First Day of Spring” brought a glimmer to the hundreds of drunks to the dance floor, but overall, the performance was lost on most.

They danced around, wrestled and mocked “doggy-style” intetcourse to the rhythm of the pounding beat. Luckily, it wasn’t over aft& the bears made their exit.

The title “undefgrotid USA ” is a little misleading, because not all of the places described are socalled “underground.” With the popularity of thrift stores and second hand CD stores recently, these are definitely the furthest thing from f’underground,” Many would be able to be found by just asking locals about certain districts in these cities. There are also some places that might have been underground ten yearsago,buttodaytheyareabout as underground as punk music. Another problem was the selection of cities. Only twenty cities were covered, does this mean thatallother thirty-twocites have nothing “underground” about them? I have a hard time believing this.

This ain’t Hollywood The 21st annual Toronto Film Festival September by Rachel Imprint

12-14,
1997
Beattie staff
very year for two weeks in September, Toronto is struck by Film Festival
II feve c. This is when the annual Toronto International Film Festival happens. Big name celebrities come to Toronto for the premieres of their latest blockbusters. Star gazers are out in full force hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite actor or actress. But there is more to the festival than mainstream movies, huge parties and celebrity schmoozing. At the heart of the festival are small foreign and independent movies, many of which are brought to the Festiva1 by their directors in hopes of netting a distribution company to give the movie wide release in North America. You can see movies at the Festival that you may never be able to see in Canada again. With some movies this is a tragedy.
With others, however, it is a good thing. The movies A Ciegas (B/in024 and Bandits are good examples of both kinds of movies. A t%gus is Spanish director Daniel Calparsoro’s third feature film, and if his other two films were as bad as this one it is no surprise that Calparsoro is a virtual unknown in North America. The film’s title translates as “blinded” which has absolutely nothing to do with the film except perhaps that by the end of the movie you would rather poke your eyes out with a rusty pitch fork than sit through another minute of the movie. The plot centres around a woman, Marrubi (played woodenly by Najwa Nimri), who is trying to leave her life of terrorism behind and make a peaceful life for herself and her young son. Or in other words, Marrubi wanders from one violent situation to another but never really emotionally connects with anyone. Therefore, it is impossible for the audience to identify with her or any other of the cardboard excuses for characters. It would be easy to dismiss this film as a brainless action movie except that would make it sound interesting. The action sequences
were cliched and tedious. The characters are so boring that you don’t care what happens to them. The director seems to be trying to show the pointlessness of violence. Insread, he has suc-

It makes you wonder if Calparsoro is being paid off by the Spanish government to portray the terrorists as brainless, emotionless morons who kill people for no reason, start riots and attack police officers while listening to loud thrash music.

ning debut is a witty blend of genres. It’s part road movie, part prison escape movie, part female friendship movie and part rock band-on-the-rise movie. The Bandits are a rock group made up of four women in prison. En route to their first gig at an annual police ball, the women hijack the van and head for South America. Once out of jail the Bandits
become a media sensation, Their songs top the chart as they run from show to show, staying one step ahead of the police. Bandri; is full of hilarious corn edy, (mostly at the expense of the arrogant police detective on their trail). Exhilarating action sequences, poignant character revelations and the occasional catchy music videos are thrown in for fun. The actresses (Katja Riemann, Jasmin Tabatabai, Nicolette Krebitz, and Jutta Hoffmann) are outstanding. They all give vibrant performances. Their characters are human and warm but that doesn’t mean they’ll take anything from anyone. Although most of them+ are not musicians, the four wrote ail of the Bandits’ original songs. The Bandits’ music, feel-good pop with an edge, is catchy and fun, Even though Bun&& is a huge hit in Germany, it still doesn’t have a North American distributor at press time. Hopefully Ban&Y warm reception at the Festival will convince a distribution company to pick it up. Bundil; is a film that should not be missed.

doing it with an intoxicating mixture of rap, crunchy guitar and movement. All three-of the female solo artists are talented and that was easy to see as soon as Oh Susanna opened up the evening. Playing an acoustic guitar, Susanna quickly had the audience enthralled at her smooth voice and soothing manner. “Veda’s set is about love. I’m doing the opposite. My set’s about killin’,” smiled Susanna. The songs were all a little bitter-sweet, but easy to enjoy. For her last song, she called upon her tourmates to do a little piece together - a feature in all three acts - asking, “Can we get more bitches on stage?” Veda Hille came across a little differ-

two, it gave the crowd a chance to catch their collective breath, before they were once again devastated by the kick-in-theass “Fire in the Head.” “Fire” sent the crowd into a frenzy of moshlng and surfing more reminiscent of a Metallica concert than a Tea Party show. The mandatory acoustic portion of the set included “Sister Awake”, with Jeff using a crazy Mid-Eastern guitar-type instrument to play it. The band rounded out the rest of their set with the title track “Transmission” and an extended version of “Save Me”, closing out the set with a ripping rendition of their current hit single “Temp-
tation”. Very cool effects were used on all of the instruments; they certainly owe a debt of gratitude to the soundman. They returned to the stage rather quickly after they left, proclaiming the time-honored institution of the encore as “bullshit.” The band then proceeded to play “Sister Awake” again, this time from the beginning and with full electric treatment. The fact that they played the meltdown from “The River” in the middle of “Sister”, gave the whole show an interesting twist. The Tea Party are definitely a band worth checking out if you haven’t had the chance already. Watch for their return visit sometime in November.

ently. While she did do a few songs with an acoustic guitar, she spent more of her time on a big Roland. Obviously a highly trained pianist, Hille mesmerized the crowd with her bold compositions and occasionallychaotic playing style, putting a classic bent on what I’ve heard called “Bitch Rock.” However, brilfiant and funny as Susanna and Veda had been, they could not top the magical Kinney Starr. For all the pent-up emotion Starr appears to have, she can immediately relax the crowd with her disarming smile. When you go to see her, you should just sit back, breathe deeply once or twice and prepare to be hypnotized. Starr can spin fantastic rhythms and rhymes, and she began to do so as she pulled up the mic cable and wandered into the audience. With the lights down low, she walked slowly through the crowd, sometimes stopping to close her eyes and just let the words fly. What topped off her voice and lyrics was her movements. She glided across the floor in her combat pants like a belly dancer and you couldn’t help but feel the “vibe,” as she put it. Kinney whipped into the audience as people moved to the rhythm. Kinney’s lyrics are very straight and to the point. “Boy tongue to boy tongue is sexy and you know it. Girl lips on girl hips fits perfect and we show it. But I have eyes, I know that boy and girl fits too. We lay together, make a mess and we share love juice.” These leave very little to the imagination.

A
lmost by definition, science fiction and fantasy, as genres, cover a lot of heavy issues. When one depicts the future or an entirely different world from our own, an entirely new ‘reality’ must be created. These fictional realities broach the realms of the political, the physical and the metaphysical. Great attention must be given to a whole array of details in order to make the plots and scenarios coherent, and, ,when done well, to provide a lens through which to view our own world today. Locally-published, &z//e&g D&ny is one of the Iatest publications to undertake this Sci-fi/Fanstasy quest, and does so in classic form.Co-editors David M. Switzer and Graham D. Wall undertook the creation of Challenging Destiny when they saw a relatively small number of like publications in Canada and decided that editing a sci-E/fantasy mag would be an enjoyable diversion from their full-time vocations. Switzer has degrees in Mathematics and English from the University of Waterloo, and currently teaches courses in Computer Science. Wall is currently finishing a Physics degree at Waterloo. This first issue of C~ulleng~~g Desriny mixes some tried and true themes from Sci-fi and fantasy with some truly original and disturbing tales of the fantastic. “The Grid” is a look at a utopian, compuceraided existence which starts out a little creepy and ends leaving questions about our obsession with all things “virtual.” The

For several songs Kinney crunched out basic rhythms on an electric guitar before finishing up her set. But, trust the Scrappy Bitches to have something left over, and all three came on stage for the demanded encore, doing a goofy pop-rock medley that was so totally wrong for them it was perfect. Oh Susanna and Veda Hille are excellent performers, but Kinney Starr’s magic stole the show.
meaning and functions of “civilization” and the ugliness of imperialism and racism are laid bare in the story “In the Wake of Columbus,” where humans basically en-. slave another non-aggressive race for mineral wealth. “Final Vow Incident” calls to mind Dean Koontz’s TwGg,&t Eyes when police lose their man, but find a tape whose contents are far more interesting. Other sci-fi media are also discussed in “Everything You Need to Know About Bladerunner,” a great read for fans of the book and the movies. In general, the writing .in C/la//~~g~~g De&y reflects a love of the science fiction and fantasy forms by non-professional writers, It is exactly what a science fiction fanzine should be. The illustrations that accompany most of the stories have a delightful rough-hewn feel to them, but they may not be as stylistically or technically solid as those you might find in a Marvel comic or on the cover of a Terry Brooks novel. But then, that’s not why you would buyC%&e~~~g&sti~y or any other fanzine. You buy it for the raw ideas that are allowed the freedom to fly in an environment where the joy of creation still means something. Physically, GhaLhging Destiny feels a bit like one of those academic journals that students begrudgingly consult while researching an essay. The clean cover layout opens up to a straightforward, utilitarian contents page listing the articles as well as the list of editors and contributors. It isn’t surprising when you consider the academic backgrounds of the editors, that what

Lyrics like “Feeling only left him bleeding, for a whole number of reasons he never discovered” and “it soothes cos’ it’s better than the truth, the truth is frayed at the edge and bruised and no use any more,” abound. The sound of the album is very sweet, Using diverse instrumentation, Catherine Wheel have added an even more emotional note to the dreamy croonings of Dickinson and the haunting sounds of the organ. “Future Boy” is an excellent track to get a sample of this. Gone is most of the hard edge that was Catherine Wheel’s Doctor Jeckyl. Rob’s heavy metal influence could be easily heard on many of the tracks on 1995’s Happy Days, but the first single, “Delicious,” is as hard as Adm @ Ew gets. Instead, more

was left unfulfilled. The product is something wonderfully haunting, melodic and melancholy. It is a blend of something of folk rock with a Moog. She uses a range of instruments in the songs, from strings to a double bass, The music is mellow and enchanting, with a soft flowing beat close to that of a jazz or blues song, to relax and take the listener where she chooses with her soft vocals. Fans of Sarah M’Lachlan and other such vocalist would probably enjoy this album, since it is a vocal/lyric-based form of music with intent and autobiographical qualities in each of the songs. The album shows signs of the influences of the groups that she thanks in the credits. These would be the Tindersticks and Red Snapper. One would wonder how these two come together? The beats and rhythms of the Red Snapper, an acid jazz,
the masses entitled “The Return of Sathington Willoughby,” to their sure hit “Shake Hands with Beef’ and the catchy “Camelback Cinema,” Primus polishes each song to a shiny, golden brown. Their pumping guitars, circus sound and signature voices are expertly mixed. With the additidn of Brian Mantia, the band continues along the same vein as their previous albums, This is partly a hindrance though, as the album risks losing its originality and freshness. .Luckily, their overt bizarreness redeems them and makes everything okay, Very few bands can produce this sort of outlandish humour without coming across as annoyingly pathetic. It was put best by the man at the desk: “These hard edge, up tempo recordings should be a blessing to any Primus fan who longs for the creative, unique pumping of Les’ bass, the strange melodious phrasing of Ler’s guitar work and the overall incredibly average drumming of Brain.” So as you Iisten to the Bruwn Alhm (named after the colour brown), spread your mind, think of Arnie who went up in flames and hope the aliens don’t come too soon. Get the album. You’ll understand.
by Debbra McClintock Imprint staff It takes a few listens to fall in love with L&y &ven. At first, Julie MacDonald’s vocals seem amateur and fragile but they become moody and genuine. Her voice becomes mesmerizing, much like the band’s overall sound. Each song is refreshinglyoriginal in its part-rock, part-shoegazer style, particularly the track “Resolution.” Effects made by the fuzztone, farfisa, Moog and Rhodes set them apart from typical guitar bands. The final touch of diversity is piano backup on “Deep Sleep,” another soothing song that simultaneously rocks out. Although not immensely complex, Flux’s lyrics are fun and clever. They’re the kind that can be sung along with. It’s an album that can be iistened to repeatedly without getting sick of it. Recorded in Hamilton, L&y Sewen has seen success locally, as have their live shows. Their fan base is solid in Toronto, as they were one of the highlights of North by North East and theTasteof the Danforth Festival.

When an artist is celebrated by the likes of Elvis Costello and the Tragically Hip as an influence after only his first release, expectations for future albums are somewhat raised. Ron Sexsmith’s sophomore offering does not disappoint. The aptly titled &,4erSongs is a satisfying compilation of simple-but-not-simplistic tunes. Writing pretty little songs about pretty little cemeteries, child stars and av. erage joes, Sexsmith createsa perfect blend of delicate melodies and poignant lyrics. Taking a minimalistic approach to his music, he employs a bare bones ensemble
of acoustic guitars, bass, percussion and the odd horn, leaving no place for his fragile, mumbly voice to hide. The result is an intimate, relaxed hour of music, perfect for quiet Sunday mornings. Though at times there seems to be some incongruity between the lyrics and the melodies, they generally fit. More poet than musician, it seems to be the lyrics that are of greatest importance to Sexsmith. And while upon first listen the songs hardly seem to be the sort that wiJl stick in your head for any amount of time, they often creep back in just as quietly and unexpectedly as you heard them the first time. To be sure,C@~~~Songs will not join the ranks of happy, catchy pop-records in steady rotation over the airwaves. Of all the songs on the album, onIy the up-beat Ylown in Broad Daylight” seems radio-friendly enough to get any air play. Ironically, it’s the only one that doesn’t fit.

Smash Mouth, a San Jose based outfit, calls its new album Ftish Yu Mmg “A message to all the naysayers, the clueless, and those that dis.” What that message actually is could be anybody’s guess. By now, everyone and their mother has heard the debut single “Walkin’ On The Sun.” The greatest irony is that the people that will love this song the most, i.e. the retro-lovin’, beH-bottom wearing, neohippie people are the exact social group the song is railing against. Most notable is the line “And their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites/ Cause fashion is smashin’ the true meaning of it.” Ha ha. If you love “Walkin’,” you may or may not be as appreciative of the rest of the album. After the groovy first single, the rest of the album is mostly punk and ska in the Rancid vein. Musically, there are plenty of other bands you could find that would be able to produce the same chunky guitar and one-two drumbeats. Lyrically? Well, that’s another story. Smash Mouth covers all topics possible, inoluding single mothers on the street with “Nervous In The Alley,” popular people in “The Fonz,” desperate people going to bars, “Beer Goggles” and whiny neighbors in “Heave-Ho.” The two best tracks on the disc would

be “Padrino” and “Disconnect the Dots.” “Padrino” is lead singer Steve Harwell’s homage to the mob. The impossibly bouncy ska rhythm and witty lyrics such as, “I know it’s not a wise thing to do/ Writing funny songs about the mob/ But if it’s all the same to you/ I don’t see it as a gang but as a club,” make it fun to listen to and great single material. “Disconnect the Dots” is the viewpoint of a guy whose friend’s girlfriend just dumped him. The narrator sees the friend being overly depressed and is trying todrag him out of the doldrums back to life. If you’ve ever listened to Goldfinger, Rancid, or NOFX, this album is at least worth a listen. If you’ve never listened to Goldfinger, Rancid, or NOFX, this album is at least worth a listen. In short, give Smash Mouth a chance. While Fad Yu Mung doesn’t break any tremendous new ground, it makes the old new again. It’s worth a try.

by Frank Yang special to Imprint Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, Whiskeytown are a five-piece outfit likely to be lumped into the ever-expanding ranks of the so-called “No Depression” movement. Following the path blazed by countrypunk pioneers Uncle Tupelo in the early ’90s, Whiskeytown call upon the muse of Gram Parsons and The Band. That is to say, you could still call it country, but to say Whiskeytown have anything more in common with Garth Brooks and Leann Rimes than the occasional steel pedal flourish would be doing the lads (and one lady) a great disservice. Sonically, Whiskeytown tread more on the Son Volt side of alr-country. David Ryan Adams’s voice doesn’t have Jay Farrar’s world-weary drawl, but they write
33
along similar lines. So, while Whiskeytown may have a slightly more radio-friendly sound, 2?traagt?r1 Almalroc is still likely to get as much airplay as Son Volt’s underrated “Straightaways” did earlier this year. Srratrgers Almanuc is Whiskeytown’s first recording for the oh-so-hip Outpost Records, whose other signings include Veruca Salt and Hayden. The 13 tracks on the albumcover most of the requisite bases. There are the electric rockers in “Yesterday’s News,” and acoustic ballads such as “Houses On The Hill.” High points include the gloriously twangy “Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight,” the desperate yearning of “Turn Around” and the haunting closer, “Not Home Anymore.” Though it doesn’t break any new ground, S&zngen Almanac is a solid, occasionally superb album whose sincerity and emotion put most everything being churned out of Nashville’s machine to shame. If you thought that country music was only about pick-up trucks and Stetsons, think again.
