Yo! Turn to that station CKMS celebrates 20 years on the air by Owen

Gregory

Imprint staff

n October 15, Radio Waterloo, the IJniversity of Waterloo’s radio station, marks its twentieth year on the air. From modest beginnings, the station has expanded to approximately 100 volunteers and four staff members. Transmitting at 100.3 FM and 95.5 on cable, the station broadcasts a broad spectrum of music and spoken word programming in eight different languages, and covers local and international news. Musical programming includes alternative, rock, urban dance, jazz and classical from all eras. The Unmken HeadS&~ will have a special broadcast to mark the station’s twentieth anniversary. CKMS has also planned a special “Local and Live” coffeehouse at the Graduate House from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Musicians from around the Waterloo area will perform. Those attending the show are asked to bring a donation of a nonperishable food item or cash for the Waterloo Food Bank. In contrast to commercial radio stations, CKMS does not receive its funding from advertising. Most of the station’s funding comes from students, through the $4.50 incidental fee that appears on the UW tuition fee statements. The station also generates money by fund-raising and by

renting out the recording studio. CKMS’s technical and administrative co-ordinator, Bill Wharrie, has been with the station since its inception. Summing up the special position of the station, Wharrie said, “We are here to provide an alternative to the commercially driven media. Because we are not under the pressure of advertisers, we are free to experiment, and that, to me. . .is the best thing about CKMS,” The station began as the Radio Broadcasting Club, which, in 1964 had a weekly show on the Kitchener AM station CKKW. The students were forbidden to play “rock and roll” and “backroom ballads.” The initial success of the show encouraged the students to ask the university for financial help in acquiring a broadcasting license. The university rejected the request, citing a lack of money. The students persisted and, in 1969, the Federation of Students agreed to budget $7,000 for Radio Waterloo to broadcast to campus common rooms. The next year Grand River Cable picked up Radio Waterloo. It took until 1977 for Radio Waterloo to obtain an FM licence from the CRTC. On October 15, 1977, CKMS hit the airwaves at 94.5 MHz with fifty watts of power. In 1992 the station received approval to boost its power to 250 watts in order to extend its listening range. The station also

Eli McIlveen, the host of the show &&ge~sOunds, said it is not hard to get on the air. Students interested in hosting a radio show are required to go through two training sessions

and then produce a demo tape. If the staff likes the tape, the student is invited to go on the air. CKMS encourages hosts to emphasize music from independent artists and labels which might not get air time on commercial stations. The station also gives air time to local groups.

Waterloo Region just says no to casinos by Natalie Imprint

Gillis statr

ill casinos be the next big thing in Kitchener-Waterloo? Don’t gamble on it. Two casino companies - RPC Anchor Gaming and Star of Fortune Management - have received provincial approval to open one charity casino apiece in Waterloo Region, provided the municipalities are willing to accept them. Given this stipulation, area residents shouldn’t expect to see these new gambling operations any time soon. Kitchener city council recently passed a by-law that will prohibit casinos while city hall studies the potential community impact. Waterloo and Cambridge have also passed resolutions opposing the clubs, though the surrounding townships haven’t discussed the issue.

Touted by the province as a way of increasing revenue to charitable organizations, the casinos are permanent replacements for intermittent charity Monte Carlo events. However, where Monte Carlo nights raise $10 million a year, Ontario estimates that charities will share $180 million a year from casinos. In addition to this potential windfall for charities, the province and the casino companies claim they can contribute to the economy by creating jobs. The RPC Anchor club says up to 400 jobs could be created by a casino opening in the area. Despite this seemingly rosy picture, Kitchener and Waterloo city councils are more skeptical, “At this point, there are a lot of unknowns,” says Waterloo councillor-at-large Joan McKinnon. “The pitch we get is that it’s good for charities, but we’ve never been shown how much goes back into the local commu-

nity.” McKinnon also made reference to other unknowns such as the extra funding that would be needed to increase policing and provide resources to deal with gambling addictions. “Casinos take money from the local economy. Someone who might put money back into the local economy will gamble it away. And no one has proved to us that we’re going to get the job gain that we keep hearing about.” Kicchener mayor Richard Christie elaborated, “Gamblingcannibalizes industries by taking revenue that would be spent on housing, food and clothing, and placing it in the gambling halls.” With reference to job creation he adds, “The jobs are low paying entry level jobs. We prideourcommunityon having a highly trained work force. It’s a no-win situation for those seeking employment.” While Christie allows that any job is better than

no job, he points to casino bankruptcies in the U.S. that have left communities with debt loads in the tens of millions of dollars and the loss of hundreds of jobs. “Gambling is a very disruptive force,” he concludes. McKinnon said that the provincial government promised a referendum on the issue of charity casinos, but has since backed off, So, Waterloo will be holding its own referendum in conjunction with the upcoming municipal election. “It won’t be binding; it’s more of a survey to see how people feel,” she explained. “There has been no definitive practical study on the cause and effect of charity casinos,” she continued. “It’s difficult to make a decision based on emotion.” The Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber of Commerce has set up a task force to study the business impact ofgamingclubs, Itwill report to council in a month.

Tuition skvrockets, enrolment follows u

by Katie Imprint

Ricks stafF

tudents are continuing to attend university despite thecrippling debts imposed s b$ steadily rising tuition, reports a to-year review of Canadian undergraduate university funding. j The study, published Monday, September 29 by Statistics Cbnada, examines the many fingncial obstacles facing students who opt for past-secondary educ&on. The report finds that, while t+ value of their degrees may not be certain, Canadian stu&ents are inbreasingly shouldering the burden of tuition increases due to government funding cuts, only to declare bankruptcy when they finally graduate. When the study began, 8.3 per cent of Canadians aged 19 to 24 were in university, but by 1995 that figure had increased to 18.6 per cent, Statistics Canada found that the number of university students rose steeply throughout the mid-1970s despite a decline in the relative population of university-aged Canadians. Further, risingenrolment has

generally been accompanied by increasing tuition. Tuition fees have risen 86 per cent between 1983 and 1995, and have been consistently raised above the cost of inflation each year. At the University of Waterloo this year, enroImenr was unexpectedly high, at 106 per cent of the targeted enrolment as of September 25, 1997. Waterloo’s increased enrofment is stated by the administration as being partialiy due to a surprising number of offer acceptances by first-year students. However, researchers such as Dr. Edward Renner, an adjunct research professor of psychology at Carleton University, have criticized that universities in general, fighting against government cutbacks, are lowering their admission standards to boost enrolment. Undergraduate Admissions Officer Peter Burroughs says that this isn’t the case at UW. Where this does occur, however, a university degree may be decreased in value, which raises the question of whether or not a degree should be “an economic necessity,” as it is called by Brad

Lavigne, national chairman of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). Last week, the CFS published a paper calling for zero tuition for all post-secondary students. While this move is consistent with the CFS mandate, many government and student leaders acknowledge that it is unrealistic. Statistics Canada’s study illustrates that the threat of skyrocketing tuition is not keeping students from enrolling, but the unmanageable debt load incurred

safter several years of university may be making post-secondary education inaccessible. Jeff Gardner, UW Federation of Students’ VP Education, points out that “for the last 10 years, there’s been an increase in government saying ‘we love education’. . .but they keep taking money away.” Gardner says the government “has to go back to giving grants,” an approach which has been on the decrease since its peak in 1980, when the government supplied $6.44forevery tuition dollar taken

When asked how these issues will be handled in light of recent varsity rugby player suspensions, Scott says, “Even before that, the committee was concerned with some incidents that might be called hazing. There are a great many people concerned about that.” The committee will also investigate off-campus activites such as barn parties and the Toga party.

Man bites dog A blind Scottish man bit his guide dog in frustration when the dog would not obey his orders. Confused by his owner’s inability to walk straight, Charles Dubois’ dog failed to obey orders after Dubois had been drinking in addition to taking prescription drugs. As a result, Dubois bit his yellow Labradorrepeatedlyin the ear and nose. Dubois was originally fined $400 and banned from ever owning a dog again. After an appeal, the ban was reduced to two years; the court realized it was an isolated incident.

from students. By 1995, that figure had dropped to $2.97 and, on average, student fees made up 24.3 per cent of university operating revenue. Between 1990 and 1995, as government reduced grant-funding in an effort to balance the budget, tuition fees rose by 62 per cent beyond inflation. Ontario universities can expect a 10.1 per cent increase in tuition in 1997-1998, the second highest rate of increase in Canada. Newfound1and has the highest rate, at 18 per cent.

raised to beheading

British nurse Deborah Barry, who was found guilty of the murder of a colleague in Saudi Arabia, will not be facing a death sentence by beheading much longer. Her family, with the aid of the family of her accomplice, Lucille McLauchlan, has raised the $1.6 million Canadian necessary to have the sentence converted into a prison term.

To ensure that students’ interests are well represented, the committee is mainly made up of university students. in addition, to better inform their decisions, the committee is soliciting comments and suggestions from students regarding Frosh Week. Any of the following committee members may be contacted by e-mail: Shaun Carson, Residence Don (carsl837@ math 1.wlu), Albert Nazareth, l st year Science Student (asnazare@ science.watstar), Kelly Foley, Student Services, First-Year Experience (kefoley@nh3adm), Catharine Scott, Chair, Human Resources and Student Services (cscott@mcladm).

McLauchlan faces an eight-year prison term and 500 lashes. The victim, Yvonne Gilford, was found stabbed, bludgeoned and suffocated in her home in the city of Dhahran. Both Barry and McLauchlan confessed to the murder, but later said the confession was obtained through physical and sexual abuse from prison authorities.

WLU student union creates beer Red and whitewinesto by Adam Imprint

Natrm staff

ilfred Laurier University’s Students’ Union (WLUSU) has created a brand new beer for the Canadian market. “Hawkeye Gold,” was unveiled this past Wednesday evening during an official ceremony at Wilfs, the Students’ Union restaurant and pub. Among other activities, the ceremony included a keg-tapping, brief speeches from Trafalgar Brewery representatives and Laurier StuGent Union president Stew Wong, and the selling of souvenir “Hawkeye Gold” bottles. WLUSU has become one of the first student governments to introduce their own beer. According tostudents present at the.unveiIing, the new brew was very well received. Its fruity, refreshing taste is truly unique and quite unlike the fresh spring water it is made from. Initially, the beerwill only be available at Wilf s. However, there is the strong possibility that liquor stores in the Waterloo area will carry the product very soon. “Hawkeye Gold” derives its name from the university’s mascot, the Golden Hawk (which can only iead one to wonder what UW would name a beer for its own mascot, the Waterloo Warrior). In any case, the idea to develop a beer unique to WLU came to David Playfair, manager of Wilf s, and Rob Cresswell, supervisor of the Turret (the Laurier dance club), during the spring of 1997. After some preliminary planning, the Students’ Union was approached.The concept was improved upon with the help of Bruce Woollings, a sales representative for Trafalgar Brewery.

Mike Arnold, the owner of the brewery, carried out the final stages of production. Hopefully, the introduction of a new beverage will not only increase sales but, as Playfair states, “the beer should add to the already strong school spirit at Wilfred Laurier University.” Trafalgar Brewery, a small operation servicing about thirty pubs in the Uakville area, was approached by student government officials because of the brewery’s reputation for uniqueness. In September, the company won bronze and gold medals at

the Great Canadian Brewing Festival in Guelph. Playfaircomments that, “Trafalgar is one of the most promising of a new generation of microbreweries.. . their beer is wellmade and tasty. Between the quality of the beer and the quality of the students, Laurier definitely leads the way.” Expectations concerning the su CCeSS of the beer remain high, Wilfs’ dents “taste

UW True Crime

compiled

by Bruce LeeShanok special to Imprint

Y Give your parents a mid-life crisis. .

ou’ve all heard the speech in elementary school about why pulling the fire alarm is a stupid idea, often alongside analogies about crying wolf. In the ‘9Os, the reasoning reads something more along the lines of the fact that the fine for needlessly triggering a fire alarm rivals this term’s tuition. By any standard, pulling a fire alarm is both extremely illegal and extremely, for lack of a better word, stupid.

Foolish crimes Pointless crimes have been prevalent over the past two weeks, with false alarms being triggered on September 29 and 30 at Graphic Services and the MC Building respectively, as well as on October 2 atV1, and October 3 at the BMH Coffee Shop. On the night of September 28, an emergency phone at Vl was needlessly activated by a dent under the influence of alcohol. The officers who responded to the call were less than pleased, and the matter is being dealt with harshly. “It could be anything from an injured person to someone being criminally assaulted,” says Sgt. Wayne Shortt of the University of Waterloo Police. “We take it very,bvery seriously.”

An intoxicated individual was observed near the Davis Centre on September 28 attempting to pick up and ride a bike whose rear wheel was still locked. “He didn’t get far,” noted Sgt. Shortt dryly. The individual has since been dealt with and the matter has been settled.

Vehicles were vandalized in Lot V on September 27, and at the Married Students Apartments lot on September 28 and 30. Campus police are currently investigating an alleged assault between a male and female student on September 29 in Engineering I. On the night of September 28, two suspicious males were seen loitering on the path between the General Services Complex and Lot L. They were not students and had no reason to be on campus and were removed by police. A pair of prescription eyeglasses was stolen on September 29 at the PAC. Two local high school students were found smoking marijuana in LotC on October 2. They were approached by police, had their narcotics seized, and were removed from campus. On October 3, police responded to a complaint regarding the uttering of threats. The threats were received by a UW staff member from a former employer. The incident has since been resolved by police. Anyone with information regarding unresolved crimes are urged to call Crime Stoppers or Campus Police at (519) 888-491 I. Please don’t be afraid to call, even if it’s a pointless crime, the kind that normally gets ignored.These crimes are costly and can be dealt with.

Committee on Orientation a long time coming

or years now, Orientation Week, better known as Frosh Week, has been as much a parr of the first year student’s experience as new classes and moving away from home. Students come to school a week before cl&es start in order to get acquainted with university life before the work begins. Reactions to 0rtentation Week are as many and varied as the students who participate, but little thought has been given KB what, objectively, a good Orientation Week should xrail. In fact, the IJniversity of Water100 currently has no specific policy on Orientation Week. There are no strict rules regarding what sort of activities are necessary to the experience or which ones should be prohibited. The Provost Advisory Committee on Orientation (I’ACO) was initiated earlier this year to look into the goals, prtnciples and values of Orientation Week. WC have all heard the horror stories of Orientation 12:eek gone wrong: first year student dying of alcohol poisoning at frac party; faculty initiations that include throwing frozen apples at frosh climbing a greased pole; sexist, racist, or simply demeaning chants and games. certainly, Orientation Week should be desiined so it doesn’t cause harm. The question for PACO is how clghtly they will restrict the activities that many enjoy during Orientarion Week, how far they will go to proLcct students from themselves. In retrospect, it: is easy for me to say I wouldn’t submit to anything I felt was dangerous or degrading during Orientation Week. Personally, I opted out of inose Frosh Week activities during my first year. At one p,omt, the Dons and the Orientation committee people were whipping the crowd of new Villagers into a frenzy L~I xibal sentiments (West is best, East is least,‘etc.). I remember my roommate and I backing furtively to the edge of ;I crowd frothing with first-year spirit, then ;.urning and fleeing to our room for some rye and Old ibhiwaukee king cans. I went to my EngineeringorienLtition long enough to get a helmet. biy experiences may not be typical. Then again, chcre may be other students who were confused and dlsmayed by Frosh Week activities requiring them to be part of a screaming mob. Peer pressure is a powerful force for people of all ages, and it does not necessarily take the classic “Hey, c’mon, everybody’s doing it” form. The herd mentalrty, the desire to be accepted, is at full strength during OrientaIlon Week. Often, students simply get carried away, and in their enthusiasm, end up hurting themselves or each other. The obvious solution is to create an environment free of planned lunacy (such as mandatory participation for all Village Frosh in a game known tits:Century Club) and free of the sort of vibe that makes people do things “voluntarily” that they aren’t comfortable with. Under normal circumstances, that vibe doesn’t occur. But a good Orientation Week should require something more than 3 low rate of alcohol-related injury. Given all of the time and resources committed to Orientation Week, a taste for alcohol should not be all chat students acquire. They need to be prepared to Iive with each other peacefully for a year. They need to be armed against the numerous pitfalls they may not have been told about in the university’s brochure, By definicion, Orientation Week should point students in the right direction. Dons and Orientation Committee members go a long way toward ensuring a positive experience for first-year students, but Orientation is campuswide. The PACO, consisting of members from rhe Federation of Students, the faculties and the university administration, has the opportunity to make Orientation Week a legitimate and recognized part of the university experience. They will have their job cut out for them when they deliberate on the goals of Oriencation Week. The first week at school can be a jumpingoff point for great academic, social and emotional growth; it can also be an alienating experience.

Explanation of the free pop To the Editor,

n the interest ofjournalistic fairness and equal time I hope that you will give me an opportunity to respond to Mr. David Eby’s letter, “Hidden agendas from the f&heads”, September 26. While I respect Mr, Eby’s right to hold and to propagate his opinions, in his criticism of our attempts at kindness he has missed the mark on a few key points: 1) The vast majority of people received their slip of paper identifying Cornersrone Community Church &forethey helped thcmselves to a free pop. Most people took the time to read the slip before choosing a drink, so if they were offended by a gift from a “religiousorganization” they were under no obligation to accept it. For the record, at least one person did in fact refuse a drink upon reading who we were. 2) Mr. Eby is correct in pointing out that “these people were here last year at the same time in the same location doing the same thing.” Last year we received two phone calls at the church as a result of our efforts. Both calls were essentially to say “thank you” for a simpie act of kindness; a cold drink on a hot day. Neither caller inquired further about the church. Not one of the more than 2000 people to receive a free drink last year has ever attended a service at our church. Yet we returned again this year. Why would we repeat such an expensive (t-he 100 cases of pop were paid for out of the church budget) yet hopelessly ineffective “recruitment drive’? This year we have received one call inquiring about services at the church, but because of potential transportation difficulties our pastor suggested it may be simpler for the student to attend one of a number of churches (not necessarily affiliated with our denomination) which offer shuttle bus service from the campus. Rather a strange response if we are recruiting, don’t you think? 3) Cornerstone Community Church is a member in “good standing” of the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada. Had Mr. Eby taken the time to call the church number, which was listed for information purposes on the slips we,distributed, he would have been informed of this fact. 4) Mr. Eby erroneously equates “doing something nice for the students” with “charity”. Our purpose was not to heip those “in need”, but to offer an act of kind-

ness to our peers. Undoubtedly there are people with greater physical needs than the average student, and the church is active in seeking to meet those needs as well.The word “FREE” has been abused by many groups within our society today, so Mr. Eby’s cynicism is understandable. I regret chat there are people who have been so wounded by others chat rhey cannot take a free gift of pop for what it is, a free gift. Unconditional kindness is still possible today. For the cynics out there, I hope you are open minded the next time someone offers you a free gift. Otherwise you may miss out on something truly wonderful.

Parking Lot is full. .of evil l

picked up the University Imprint the other day expecting to find what I have come to enjoy in every Imprint edition. That is, contentious issues, differing opinions and soine comics with a “different” sense of humour. What 1 found in your last issue was the most insulting, debasing, sordid representation of abortion I have ever come across. In *‘The Parking Lot is Full,” there was a comic depicting abortion as if it was something to make light of. I really find no humour in the sufferance and death of unborn children. If somebody from another university picked this issue up, and read rhat comic, they would get a very different impression from the socially responsible University that I see it as. I would be ashamed of this school had my family or anyone else I knew read it. Sorry to hear about your standards. --Chis

met another group of people returning from Loose Change Louies. After inquiring about our toilet, they decided to join us. After we chucked rhe toilet off the Engineering Lecture Hall, we started to head back. On our way back, for some unknown reason, we decided to smash a couple of windows. Although we can’t blame the alcohol, we were really intoxicated. This is the dumbest thing we have ever done. Halfway home, a member of our group got caught. Later that night, two more of us got caught. After spending the night in detention, we were released, except for one of us. This person had to go directly to jail for the night and next morning. He slept with heroin addicts and was also stripsearched. We were all told to come back for fingerprinting and for court stuff. This was very scary for us all. The Crown referred our case to the Victim Offender Reconciliation Program. This Program allows for mediation among the parties involved to determine if an acceptable solution can be worked out without having to go through the full judicial process, which could end up with the offenders having a criminal record. In our case, mediation was successful. We made full restitution for the damage we caused. We also agreed to perform 20 hours of community service assisting other students at the University of Waterloo. As well, we agreed to tell our story with the hope of preventing other students from getting into the same situation as we did. We are very lucky that this is all that happened. We could have been kicked out of school. We are very appreciative to all those involved for how the situation was resolved. We are very sorry for what we did and would like to apologize for our actions. -

ociologists who study the forms hate takes have noted striking similarities between the racismexperienced by Blacks and Jews, both historically and in t;he present day, and the homophobia gays and lesbians have to put up with. All three groups are often seen as conspiratorial, sexually voracious, and too visible. Historically, Jews and Blacks have been accused of preying on vulnerable members of society: at one time it was widely believed that Jews sacrificed children in depraved rituals; earlier this century it was commonly thought (especially in the Southern U.S.) that if Blacks were allowed too much freedom, their uncontrollable lust for white women would result in an epidemic of rape. Many today believe that gays try to recruit children into their lifestyle, and that gay men often sexually abuse young boys. All the evidence, though, indicates that for both the opposite is true. From the point of view of someone who is gay, nearly every organization in mainstream society seems to encourage heterosexu-

ality. Friends and family often. take the “how can you be so sure you’re gay” stance. while there are many organizations set up to “cure” homosexuals. As well, about l-Z% of child molesters identify themselves as gay, compared with the 3-4% of the general population who do, meaning gays are actually less likely to abuse children than straights. To most of us it would seem absurd to suggest that straight men should be barred from becoming teachers or day-care workers. Sowhydomanysayweshould bar gay men from these profes-, sions? Of course, claims that gay, men prey on children aren’t re-. ally supposed to stand up to ob-, jective analysis, rather they are; designed to push the emotional, buttons of those who don’t know any better. For many the mention of “children” and “sex” in the same sentence is enough to get the placards out, facts be damned. Recent controversies include: “internet porn is hurting our children” and “sexy topless ladies are hurting our children.”

here is a new column in Imprint this week. In case you haven’t noticed, you’re reading it right now. But it is not really a column in the sense rhat it is about a particular theme. Rather, it is a series of articles that share a common attitude: Irreverence. This is not a wrestling column, but I intend to take :I “no holds barred” approach to the world. In the coming weeks, I will seek to expose myths, challenge authority and be holistic. For he who will not draw tenuous connections between seemingly unrelated events is doomed ro never learn from history. In some ways., .i: hope this column can fill the gap aeft by ehe recent demise of ?Vko G.Mz &z/t and The Rant. Yet my primary focus is not politics, but rather social commentary. For example, I am not right wing in the sense that I advocate capitalism, but rather in the sense that I respect its power. When formulating a political system it would be silly to ignore the effects of human nature. Corn; munism misjudged the power of self-interest, and was therefore untenable. Stalinism compensated suppressed freedom with fear, and was thus far more stable. Time judges the ends, not the means.

but history does not repeat itself exactly. The macroscopic scenario may be the same, but the details of each situation are different. Dogma is dangerous because it is based on the circumstances under which it was devel-

oped. As time goes by, these circumstances change but the rules remain the same. Let’s take religion as an example. If God tells the Hebrews they should wear tassels on their clothing, is he referring to all clothing or only the style of gown that was worn at that time. Who am I to judge? I can’t even colour-coordinate my ticccssories, much less interpret the word of God! In history, the causes behind an event are as important are as event itself. But in the more technical fields like science and engineering, a formula is a mark is a rose. Still, an equation is like a mantra: it may guide you towards enlightenment, but it does not contain the seeds of truth. I’m sorry, Did I get a little too abstract? The thorn in holism’s side is the modern lack of appreciation for analogy. In the 19rh century, analogy was often considered to be the fashionable mode of argument. But it is ineffective in today’s all-too-blunt world. The unbelievers - literati, I call them - are stuck in a world where parallel arguments do not converge in their minds. Any perceived discrepancy between the concrete and the abstract sustains thf;rr dimelief, irregardless of the con~xt

Creation Seminars by Dr. Kent Hovind Engineering October by Andrew Imprint

Lm’ure HUN 6, 1997 Krywaniuk staff

first heard about Dr. Hovind’s seminars from the pamphlets chat were distributed around campus. Already, the message seemed too good to be true. The photo of “the good doctor,” as we decided to call him, somehow reminded me of Neil Patterson, head of the Natural Law Party. Dr. Kent Hovind is a rather odd character. He is charismatic and flamboyant like a southern preacher, but his answers are calculated and evasive like an experienced politician’s. He flaunts his scientific knowledge, injecting little-known facts into every reply. Every word and every gesture scream “Believe me. . .I know more about this than you do !” I don’t deny that Hovind has a good deal of scientific Rnmledge, but I do find fault with his lack of scientific undersran&g. His feats of abstract logic are a miracle to witness, and are matched only by those of Immanuel Velikovsky [see Imprint Science 06/Dee/96]. There is no question that the good doctor has done a copious amount of research into the areas of science which seem to conflict with creationism. Occasionally, he makes reference to one of the books on the table in front of him. In his slide show, he exposes the gross inaccuracies which can be found in some of today’s biology textbooks. He claims to be well-read in many areas of science, from anatomy and biology to geology and physics. But critics of Hovind would disagree. Ron Patterson, an evolutionist who once debated Hovind, argues that so-called “creation-scientists” are not discerning enough about their sources. “It seems that they will believe anything, absolutely anything, as long as it fits their make-believe model.” Being well-read is not just a matter of reading hundreds of books. It’s also important to read the E&$V books. If you don’t value the reliability of your sources, then you can “prove” anything you want. Just ask Oliver Stone. Dr, Hovind’s stated goal is fairly reasonable. He objects to the fact that taxpayers’ money is being used to advance the theory of evolution through public funding of schools, museums and research. He argues that, since a large percentage of the public is theistic, evolution should be taught as a theory rather than a fact, and that creation-science should be presented as a viable opposing theory. I do not agree with this opinion, but I respect its intent.

“I think you’re confusing Catholicism with Christianity.” The rest of I-Iovind’s argument is a farce. He layers falacious conclusions upon unsubstantiated facts, thus claiming that “scientific evidence does not support evolution.” He cites numerous sources: highschool textbooks laced with bogus infor-

mation, scientists who fake their data, and even legitimate science that he misinterprets. Presumably, the audience is meant to see that evolution is flawed, and thus the only logical alternative is Christianity. For the most part, the good doctor concentrated his efforts on a rebuttal of those scientific beliefs which contradict Biblical creation theory, but he did devote a little time to providing some empirical evidence for his viewpoint. For example, he offers Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster as examples of creatures that do not fit into the current evolutionary framework. He also mentions the 12-foot-tall skeletons (presumably of Noah and his family) that were recently found in Turkey. Unfortunately, this devastating new evidence was suppressed by media bias.

both ways. This diversification process would have to proceed at a rate far faster than natural selection would allow. Anyway, after all this theorizing, how can he criticizecatholics for inventingthings (e.g. purgatory) that are not in the Bible? Hovind maintains that creation-scientists are not opposed to the principle of micro-evolution, the idea that natural selection causes variations within a particular “kind” of animal. But he remains vehemently opposed to the theory of macroevolution, the assertion that all life-forms on Earth evolved from a single common ancestor. This viewpoint is preposterous, he claims, and has gained popularity through government-subsidized indoctrination (i.e. schools) and media bias. “The whole point ofJuracrsicPar. was

In his presentation, Hovind covered many topics, from the Big Bang theory and the age of the Earth to paleontology and the validity offossil evidence. But his treatment of the evolutionary process is particularly interesting. Trying to reconcile scientific evidence with the Biblical creation myth is a daunting task. As the evening progressed, the good doctor’s elaborate creation story began to take shape. During the great flood, Noah, a l&foot-ta11 man with an IQ of 400, built a giant ark in order to save two of each “kind” (a kind is sort of a vague thing which can mean whatever) from extinction. Fortunately, all species used to be vegetarian, so he didn’t have to take along extra animals for food (I never did figure out how plants survived the flood, though). To save space, he used only baby animals. When the flood subsided, the animals began to multiply at a prolific rate. Over time variations arose and a single pair of dogs begat offspring that diversified into everything from Chihuahuas to wolves. It seems that Hovind wants to have things

to teach people that birds evolved from dinosaurs.” Really! Call me naive, but I thought the whole point of JWZSS~C Park was to make millions of dollars (I was particularly disappointed that Hovind missed the philological raptor vs. rapture symbolism). Let’s apply the scientific method to my hypothesis. My theory also explains the existence of Jurassic Park 2, which seems to have no other redeeming value. Hovind claims that God has not created any new kinds of species since the creation act. He asks scientists to prove the theory of evolution empirically by transmogrifying a crocodile into a bird. I asked about the HIV virus, but Hovind suggests that it was probably created in a test tube. I didn’t get a chance to ask him if the Bubonic Plague was developed in a laboratory (or perhaps by an alchemist?). The most mind-numbing part of Hovind’s lecture was when he claimed that the odds against human evolution are 101lg~m to one, Taking

factor in 60 per cent of fatal car accidents.” Driving on the 401, I estimated that about 60 per cent of the cars around me were speeding, meaning that speed and death are uncorrelated. What does Hovind’s number really mean? If I flip a coin, what’s the chance that it will land heads? “50 per cent,” you say? Did I forget to mention that I can flip it as many times as I want? One of Hovind’s main contentions is that evolution is just another religion. During question period, he tried to reduce every evolutionist claim to a leap of faith. Sometimes he succeeded; sometimes he only thought he succeeded. To prove that “there is no such thing as a vestigial organ,” he brandished a penknife and offered to amputate [UW student] Ka-PingYee’s tailbone. Hovind’s approach to the sea of raised hands was rather odd. He seemed to avoid taking questions from my third of the room. My only speculation is that he was afraid to talk to anyone sitting near Ka-Ping. When Hovind finally acknowledged my tired hand, I asked him about the anthropic principle. This widely held axiom explains that an obse,rved “coincidence” that happens to lead to the existence of the observer is not really a coincidence at all. This truly dispels the myth of the improbability of evolution. The process of evolution may have stagnated on many other planets, but the fact that you are here, reading this article, proves that sentient life managed to develop on Earth. His only reply was that the anthropic principle is my religion, and I am welcome to my belief. Dr. Hovind’s Chation Sminan do not provide a fair scientific forum for debate of the origins issue. Hovind acknowledges this fact, reminding the audience that he rented the room with his own money. The success of the good doctor’s arguments rested largely on his knowledge of manipulation tactics. For example, people are more likely to swallow a somewhat unlikely argument if it is presented in contrast to an even more ridiculous argument. His repetition of the metaphor that evolution means uwe all descended from a rock” is intended to soften the audience to his own preposterous ideas. And it works -on some people. Approximately half the crowd seemed to be in tune with the good doctor’s ideas. Many of these people were obviously not students, and were probably from a local church. But being a Christian is not sufficient reason to believe the hairbrained ideas of Dr. Hovind. Religion requires faith, not a total lackofcritical thinking skills.

The LAN lubbers by Jason Erb special to Imprint

AN (Local Area Network). The term may be new to some of you, but for those people living in residence, it is all too familiar. Perhaps you have had the misfortune of tripping over one of the cables that are conveniently placed between two adjacent rooms. Perhaps you have seen a tangle of wires meandering down the hall, taped to the wall and thought that it was nothingmore than the work of a hung-over electrician. Well, it may not have been an electrician - it was probably the work of someone on your floor. You may have heard a few people mention something about setting up a “network” during the first two weeks in residence. And then lo and behold, several weeks later the hallway is filled with cables and there are hundreds of computer nerds knocking on your door, preaching that it is your “civic duty” to join their network. Right now, the North Quad is the most “wired” part of Village II, with approximately fifteen people networked on one floor and another floor’s connection pending. In years past, there have been entire floors in Village I all wired. Now, you may be wondering, “Why would anyone do this?”

Even if you own a computer, but are not too experienced in using it, a network card can benefit you. Of course, there are certain “ideal” reasons for getting hooked up to a network that we explain to our parents as we plead for money, such as “discussing homework problems,” or “sharing educational programs.” But that is not why anyone really gets on a network. The real purpose of a residence network is pure unadulterated fun, not education. The most common use of a network is for multi-player Quake. For those of you who haven’t played Qti& before, it is a no-holds-barred bloodfest where players battle each other through hehish levels, making use of such handy items as grenade launchers, nailguns, and double-barrelled shotguns. The game of QuaRe is as big as the concept of a network itself. It is the main focus of a network on campus. For those of you considering joining a network, you can buy a network card at a computer store near you for about $30~$45 taxes not included. After that, all you need is at least 25 feet of Ethernet cable and you’re off and running. If you have any other questions, just wait a couple minutes and someone is bound to come knocking on your door, trying to convince you to join their network.

Making the trip out of the closet NationalComingOut Week opensthe door by Mike Reid special to Imprint his is a very exciting moment. I have, in my T hands, a copy of the Homosexual Agenda. No, not that oft-mentioned, mythical document that many right-wing fundamentalists believe to be neatly summarized in three words (“Recruit, recruit, recruit!“) but rather a much more tangible and exciting Homosexual Agenda. It’s a list of all the events and campaigns going on during next week’s Coming Out Week activities. “Coming out” is the expression used by gays and lesbians to describe the experience of achieving some new level of acceptance of their homosexuality, Whether it be the first time they acknowledge their feelings, or the day when they first confide their feelings in a close friend, coming out is almost always a trying experience. Coming Out Week is intended to bring awareness to the

issues surrounding coming out and to encourage everyone to be particularly sympathetic to the anxieties of those who are coming out for the first time. It’s also a time when we in the gay community make a special effort to be visible and more “out” ourselves in order to spread awareness and

poster campaigns, free buttons to give out, information booths and lots more! We’ve planned carefully so that, no matter what your comfort level with the issue of homosexuality, you ought to have the opportunity to explore it in whatever manneranddegree that suits you.

hold the door ! If you want to show your support and help us combat homophobia by spreading the message of tolerance, pick up and wear a “Straight But Not Narrow” button. To kick off the week, GLLOW will be holding a movie night in the Great Hall on Tues-

to try and facilitate the coming out of those who may be struggling to do so. This year, the Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo (GLLOW), the Womvn’s. Centre and the Student Issues Resource Centre (SIRC) are teaming up to make it our most ambitious and informative Coming Out Week ever. We’ve got movie nights,

Now, if you’re heterosexual and are starting to feel left out, fear not.

All week long, there will be a Coming Out Week booth in the SLC (look for the rainbow-coloured balloons and the pink tri-

angle) where you can find out more about coming out, the local gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered community and the many coming out resources offered by various campus groups. Browse our libraries, buy a t-shirt, watch a video or pick up some information about GLLOW and the Womyn’s Centre. Perhaps most important of all, we’ll be distributing a variety of witty and attractive buttons you can wear to show your support for gays and lesbians. Just think of the tolerance-spreading laughs you’ll illicit with “I’m not gay but my boyfriend is” pinned to your sweater! To find out more about the events planned for the week, keep your eyes peeled for the posters and banners in the Student Life Centre and around campus. And, if all of this is just too much “outness” for you, you can speak confidentially to the GLLOW peer-support staff weeknighrs between 7:30 and 9:30 by calling 884-GLOW (884-4569).

Are you aware of your breasts? by Lisa Johnson Imprint staff ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Health care profession0 als, activists and those people whose lives have in some way been touched by the disease are striving to bring awareness to society. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women. Statistics show that one out of ten women will develop breast cancer. It could be you, your mother, or the girl sitting next to you right now. Breast cancer is a devastating disease which, unfortunately, is left untreated for far too long in many women. This is because early detection is the key. Although it is true that the chanceof breast cancer increases as women get older, it is recommended that women over the age of thirty-five begin a regular routine of yearly mammograms. This is a low-dose X-ray photograph of the breast that can detect tumors too small to be felt. This does not mean that women under thirty-five have nothing to worry about. Cases of breast cancer in women in their teens and early twenties are vastly increasing. That is why it is extremely important to perform monthly breast self examinations

(BSE’s). This is a way to find lumps and abnormalities outside of screenings and doctors’ examinations. In order to conduct an effective BSE, women must know their breasts. Just as you would notice a pimple on your face or a scratch on your arm, you must be able to recognize abnormal lumps in your breasts. Pamphlets and flyers outlining detailed instructionsas to how to perform a proper BSE are available in any doctor’s office, pharmacy, clinic, or at student health services. There are many signs indicating that you may have breast cancer. If you feel something strange in your breast or armpit, experience pain in your breast, notice the skin around your nipple dimpling or puckering, see a change in the colour of the skin, or observe a discharge from the nipple, then seek a professional opinion immediately. Do not panic. Remember that 80per cent of breast lumps are benign (cancer-free). Contrary to popular opinion, a diagnosis of breast cancer is not a death sentence. Millions of people today are living longer than ever after a diagnosis of breast cancer, and in many cases, their lives are full and active. Again, the key is early detection. The earlier a lump is spotted, the more

likely it is to be treated before the cancer has a chance to grow and spread. It is unfortunate that for only one month a year attention is drawn to breast cancer and its effects. Take this opportunity to get involved and get informed, Donations oftime and money

are welcome, and promotingopen discussion of this issue is vital. If you are a young woman who does not conduct monthly BSE’s, especially if cancer runs in your family, there is no time Iike the present to begin. For more information on breast cancer, BSEs, mam-

mograms, or any other issue discussed in this article, contact the Ontario Breast Screening Program Centre: Cambridge (519) 740-4999,Guelph(519)821-7752, Hamilton (905) 389-0101, Toronto (416) 928-1379, or call the Provincial Toll Free Number at 1-800-668-9304.

woman can (depending on the number of buttons and the style ofthe blazer)wearashirt-scoop neck works best-or a camisole. Be sure that the shirt and camisole are not everyday wear. It will not work right with a blazer. Although the selection is not as varied, men can still have fun with the two piece suit. Depending on what type of shirt you are wearing, a tie is not always necessary. The fly collar is an excellent alternative. Colour is also an alternative to the boring blacks and grays of the past. Deep purples, striking greens, midnight blues and rich browns are just a glimpse at the selection of colours now offered to men. Ifyou don’t have a blazer or a pair of formal slacks to make a well thought out two piece suit, buy it. NOW. Classic style is important - it never Ieaves, and you can always update it with accessories. Trust me. It does make the best first impression.

Living with cancer- the pre-diagnosis continued

from

page 13

too tired to walk it, I ended up sitting, in the shde, for the hour and a half that the rest of my family walked. Even when they came back, my stroll over to the concession stand to get a pop for my sister was exhausting. This was definitely not the way a healthy seventeen-year-old was supposed to be feeling. Continually, throughout this period, I needed to sit down while taking showers. After about three minutes I would need to turn off the water and sir until I felt strong enough to stand up and rinse off. Again, this was not normal, but at the time 1 made excuses. Summer ended, and 1 went back to school. There, I needed to rest after climbing from my first-floor English class to my locker on the second floor. There, I was told by a science teacher in front of the class rhat I looked green. I shrugged this off, thinking that the teacher was impolite, but not correct. Later that week a different teacher said that I looked pale. I was (and am again) a vegetarian, so I thought that my paleness was due to anemia, caused by my diet. Eventually, I noticed an enlarged lymph node on my neck. My mom and I went to a walk-in clinic. We were quickly and efficiently (as those clinics are) dealt with and sent forth as healthy into the healthy world. The doctor told us to come back if it didn’t go away on its on. It went away in a few days.

Three weeks later, after further incidents of flashing lights and perpetually needing to sit down to clear my head, I woke up thinking that something was wrong. Placed together like this on a page, it is so blatant, so apparent that my conclusion was correct. However, duringthat time, everything could be (and was) explained away. The flu, my vegetarianism, waking up too early and staying too late at school; all of these could add up to what was happening to me on a daily basis. But not for three months. I decided that I couldn’t go to school that day. This was after attempting to shower, and needing to sit down as soon as I put the water on, after about five seconds. My mom decided to take me back to the walkin clinic (we were in between doctors at the time, ours being newly retired). At the chnic, we were met as an overly anxious mother and daughter. After minimally checking me out, we were ready to be sent away again. However, my mom insisted on my paleness and lethargy, saying that I needed to get blood tests. The doctor said that my mom was pale also. She replied that this was not accompanied by fatigue. Finally, the doctor acquiesced and ordered the blood tests. I was so “tired” while my blood was being taken that I needed to rest my head on my arm. This was definitely not right. After the removal of what seemed like a litre of blood, my mom and I headed home. As I was eating my lunch of raisins and

spinach (trying desperately as we were to start the healing of what we thought was severe anemia), the phone rang. Less than three hours after I had gone in to get my blood taken, the doctor was calling. This seemed a little strange. Now,

I am so thankful for that doctor’s action; he helped get: the bail rolling for my (future) cure. My mom answered the phone and the doctor said: “I think there might be something serious here.” As we know, he was quite right.

Students Advising Co-op seeks lackey by Tamara special

Chioreanu to Imprint

tudents Advising Co-op (SAC) is a commission under the Feds whose role it is to ensure that the voice of the student is heard in Co-operative Education and Career Services (CECS). SAC is a completely separate entity from co-op and does not take its lead from CECS, but: works very closely with CECS to constantly improve the Co-operative Education program here at the University of Waterloo. Your duties will include organizing SACevents such as weekly meetings. Along with your commission, you will decide the focus of the term based on past terms. You will meet with Co-op officials to determine areas of need, As chair, you will also sit on the Training and Development committee and discuss the training of Staff of

CECS. You may become as involved as you wish and run other events during the term to further SAC’s goals. As always, the Vice President of Education of the Federation of Students will attend meetings and be available for any SAC needs. If you are interested in chairing SAC for either term, please forward a “vofunteer resume” listing your past experiences in volunteer areas. Include any items that help toshow your ability to manage a group of people, and to communicate effectively with many types of people. Also, let us know why you would like to hold the position of Chairperson for this group. Be sure to include which term you would like to hold the Chair position.

he Western h?lustangs had to feel the game was in the bag heading into last Saturday’s Homecoming game against the Waterloo Warriors. After all, they were the top offense in the OUA, sported an undefeated record, hadn’t lost a Homecoming game as far back as anyone could remember and were playing a team coming off consecutive defeats, including a disheartening loss to the Toronto Varsity Blues. Which is why it was particularly satisfying as a UW fan to see the Mustang fans streaming out 0fJ.W.

ponents came together. The defence stepped up, containing the Western offence for most of the game, though they did give up 428 yards to the Western offense. However, they produced six turnovers on three interceptions and three fumble recoveries, and held the vaunted Western machine to five points over the first

punt that left the Warriors with a first-and-goal late in the game. Once again, the Warrior offense was led by the running game, and more importantly, Jarrett Smith.

Wilkinson finished the day 4-of-11 for 49 yards and no interceptions. This was a win that the Warriors absolutely had to have. Lose, and they faced the prospect of a sub-SO0 record with two tough opponents still to go in Guelph and Laurier. With the win, they sit at 3-2, with three games at University Stadium, and much more confidence. There’s still room for improvement, but after the horrible loss against Toronto, it appears the Warriors may have righted the ship and can look eagerly towards the future.

It is reasonably priced and widely available under the brand-name Deca Durabolin. The drug is popular because of the minimal androgenic side effects it produces, and is considered the best steroid for men to take. Tt is also uncommon for Nandrolone to affect the liver or blood pressure, as other steroids do. Nandrolone is used positively with AIDS and HIV patients to bring up the body weight of dangerously underweight patients, and as a commonly available veterinary steroid. Nandrolone is problematic for comperitive athletes because it remains detectable in the body for up to a year after its first administration.

Chewid the straw with Age of Electric Age of Electric The Imprint

Interview

by James Russell special to Imprint r’he

Age of Electric started in Saskatchewan in the late 80s before moving to Vancouver and establishing themselves with the hit single and E.P, Ugly. M&V a Pest a Pet was the band’s debut on a major label and, even though they’ve been touring for the album for months now, it’s obvious that lead singer Todd Kerns is still enjoying himself. He lets people in the front row paw at his guitar before shaking some hands, flashing one last grin at the crowd, and leaving the stage. There won’t be an encore; this is the “matinee” show for the underagers, and the band agrees to sign autographs outside to help get the kids out before the drinkers start showing up for the regular show later in the evening. Still flushed, cigarette in hand, Todd wanders up to me and starts talking. “Does coming from the Prairies affect our music? Definitely,” he says. Far from the cultural cen2 tres of Toronto and Vancouver, says Todd, “it’s impossible to know what’s cool, what’s not cool.” Todd mentions the Northern Pikesalso from the Prairies

out

- as a prime example of what they did not want tosound like. “That’s not our vibe.” So, the ACE just did their thing and decided to make the move to Vancouver. “It was an interesting challenge,” recalls Todd. “We had to prove ourselves again.” Every city has a music clique, and AOE had to break through the “chewin’ on straw” image that came with their Prairie roots, “It was hard to get noticed,”

anatci.tude problem. “We do what we do,” he says simply. “We have no interest in writing Oasis or Prodigy songs. If anything, we’re a rebellion against trends.” This is an issue that comes up a lot in the music business, he says. “The entire industry is image-oriented.” Occasionally, people try to move the AOE in one direction or another but, says Todd, “We know what’s best for us,” So, what’s next for the band?

“We have no interest in writing Oasisor Prodigysongs.” - ToddKearns said Todd. Back home, they did what every kid in a rock band did: grew long hair and got tattoos. “You have to paint yourself purple in Vancouver,” he offers by way of comparison. Fortunately, Ugly took off, and MuchMusic started giving it some air time. It was this exposure, thinks Todd, that led the AOE to a levei of national success, paving the way for a deal with Universal. Even though many of the song titles on iMake a Pest a P& seem somewhat angst-ridden (e.g., “You Complain,” “Cranky,” “Mad at the World”), Todd insists that the band doesn’t have

“Hard to say,” says Todd. “The Age of Electric is a very hard animal to pinpoint We all have musically diverse castes.‘p bonetheless, Todd wants to make “a mature record,” which means more than “cranking it to 10.” I have one question left, but before I can ask it, Todd is leaning over and reading it out of my notebook. “Todd,” smirks Todd, “why do you play your guitar upside down?” “Joe Perry,” he says he’d never planned on playing it that way, but he got a strap from a guy he knew and the rest was history. “My whole room was Kiss,” reminisces Todd fondly, “except for one poster of Joe perry.”

fter controversy surrounding true “all ages” concerts t Fed Hall, a solution was found. So, last Friday, theory was put to rhe test as Zuckerbaby and then Age of Electric took the stage for two concerts at Fed Hall. The first “all ages” show started at five o’clock, and the prerequisite gathering of age-impaired people started around three o’clock, resulting in a better than expected crowd. The bands themselves

In a final attempt to get the crowd into a frenzy, they pulled out some AC/DC riffs and

recently had the privilege of sitting down for an informal chat with independent Guelph band Corduroy Leda. The permanent membership of the band consist of six women: Amy Bourns (guitar, VOX), Jen

Cutts (guitar, percussion. trr)x), Tammy Grime +2ctess bass, trombone), Tanya Hobbs (guitar, VOX), Haytey MacLean (celio), and Jenn Scott (percussion, guitar, VOX). The band’s sound is a blend of varying styles ranging from rock and funk to folk and blues to classical. There are seven people in the band, and it was at times difficuh to decipher who was speaking. Except where indicated, individual commentswill be taken as collective opinions.

Take, a seat.

So it was a conscious decision right from the beginning-you wanted all women? CLz No, it was just a joke thing. We thought, ah, let’s just get all women together. We were just going to jam, but it worked.

ever get any flak from men at shows? CL: We’ve gotten flak from the lesbian communiry. Ir’s the fact that sexuality becomes an issue. You see seven guys on stage, you’re not going to ask the question of who they’re sleeping wirh, you know? But when it’s seven women on stage, that’s the first question. Everyone’s sexuality is so attached to what they do on stage, it’s so strange. But we got a lot of support from that community in the beginning. And then, I guess some people misunderstood our intentions. So they assumed you “lesbian band” and therefore represent the community? c;T They just kind

AMY: I used ro pla~ r,lano and then 1 quit. And then j saw a T.V. show on people who play guitar. I was like, “I have wanted to do this for so long, but I never have. And you know what? J’m going to do it!” I wanted to be able to play the songs I was interested in listening to because 1 was playing Pink Floyd on the piano, trying to sing “Comfortably Numb,” and it was just like wasn’t working, you know? But 1 think at the time I started playing guitar; my major influences were classic rock like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Guns and Roses totally, and Metallica. And then ic kind of got more into like The Tragically Hip and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, And then it started getting towards this Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco kind of thingand that’s

“It’s. like being in a relationship with seven people. ” claimed, “Well, did you know that they all have boyfriends?” Which, A) wasn’t even true, B) is none of their business, and C) has nothing to do with the music! But it’s an interesting thing to run into people make assumptions just because wear& all women. Which is totally sexist because ifwe were all men, it wouldn’t make a difference. You wouldn’t assume we were all gay men. We don’t have a problem with the assumption as it is, but the assumption itself, that’s the problem. It doesn’t have anything to do with the music we Play* Ani DiFranco thinks that Lilith Fair didn’t push the envelope far enough. So she and Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls jokeaboutstartinguptheirown tour next year: the Rolling Thunder Pussy Revue. & Wicked! We’ll play that! The fact that we are all women is important. Not in terms of our music, but just through the connections, the vibe, the dynamic, and the communication level that we attain. Do you guys have plans to record a full length CD? CL: Oh yeah, for sure. We shoufd be having this interview tomorrow because we’re having a meeting tonight. We’ve just been taking so much time lately because a lot of us have been in school. And it’s really hard to keep this going at the rate we want it to. What are your influences, or who has inspired you? TANYA: That’s such a hard question because everyone listens to so much music, and it changes, right.’ Two years ago 1 wasn’t listening to Bad Religion and Face to Face, but now I am.

where it stands right now, JENN:I don’t have a lot of influences. Growing up I didn’t have access to radios and MuchMusic or anything like thal hecause I was in the country. so 1 was always in the car with my parents, and they listened to iXK. SO my influence is CBC News i Rut what 7 listen co is Ani DiFranco and Indigo Girls, that kinci ot’sruff. TAMMY: I’ve always listened to a lot of jazz and stuff i listen ro the Beastie Boys a lot. JEN: I was just alway:+ listening to the radio. So I guess 1 heard a lot of pop.1 went to music camp for French horn, and I saw a boy I thought was cute playing guitar and I decided I was going to play guitar. And I was going to do it better than he did. 1 like ;I lot of funk these days. And? iisten to Ani and that kind of stuff. Ani seems to be the general theme here. JEN: Well, how can shenotbe an influence on us, you know? How often do you guys come up with new material? & It depends because sometimes we have tons of shows and we basically just have time to run through stuff for the show, and we don’t get to produce a lot. But whenthere’sa lull, like what we’re hoping to do is take October off - we just have one show at the end of October, around Halloween - and then we can concentrate on writing some new stuff. We all also have ADD-we can’t pay attention! Attention-deficit. We’re all just really spun!

It was not a film about why heroin is a problem, or a denouncement of the drug, it was merely a social commentary on this self-destructive habit. Th Football Fucttwy is set in England, and unearths another societal problem, soccer hooliganism, giving insight into why these people act out against society in this way. In no way does it glorify violence, it merely gives accounts of it, seen through the eyes of four twenty-somethings with an unbridled passion for soccer. 7% Football Factmy delves into the psyche of a small group of soccer fans who use violence as their form of recreation. While this may sound somewhat disturbing, it actually makes for a really interesting read.

media who is hungry for stories with violence in the headlines. The hooliganism depicted in this book is similar to Begbie’s angry fits of violence in Trainsporting; unprovoked attacks on innocent people, but hidden under the guise of soccer team loyalty. The book flows from game to game, bar to bar, showcasing the group’s road trips in search of hunting down opposing fans and starting

brawls with them. The complete lack of remorse after the group starts a full-out street riot comes as somewhat of a shock. The soccer hooligan is not borne from a hatred for another city’s team, it stems from boredom from working mundane jobs, boredom with life and the exhilaration that comes from running from the law, who are always two steps behind. Violence becomes an outlet to compensate for a boring existence, working long hours at a boring job, drinking away paycheck after paycheck. By the end of the book, the reader begins to realize that this anti-social behaviour is not just a societal problem, but also a psychological one as well .At certain points in the book, King attempts to show that this type of behavior is not forced on them at an early age, by telling anecdotes from when some of the boys are kids. This behavior is not learned when young, it merely manifests itself as life moves forward. There is some startling visual imagery in the book, and any one of them would make amazing scenes on a big screen. Following the success of Tminspoting, this may soon be at a theatre near you. Keep an eye out for it. Better yet, let your mind do the walking, and get the book.

mall, simple and intimate is the scale and the setting for UW Drama’s first production of the year. Female Parts is a collection ofone women sketches showcasing the many faces of women in society. A sometimes funny, sometimes tragic look at the lives ofwomen, it shows them in different roles, different ages and varying nationalities. Preceeding each part, an ode to a different body part is presented. Highlighting the slang while presenting the power of each part, it is comical yet serious. Each introduction is easy to laugh at, but difficult to forget. With no two parts remotely similar, the audience is taken on an unsteady ride through the lives of stereotyped women in our society. Claudine Albreish plays the slapstick scene of an overworked, under-payed, and all tooconfused mother and wife in “Waking Up.” She manages to tell the tale of her life’s woes while looking for her misplaced keys. Cleverly written,

the audience laughed, yet not without a tinge of uncertainty as the true meaning of the scene sinks in. “The Whore in the Madhouse,” played by Rhonda GilsonDeer, presents a disturbinglysudden change of mood. Telling of her condition while strapped into an examination chair, she drew a hushed silence from the crowd as her life was stripped bare and laid out for inspection. Even without words, her facial expressions, which could be seen clearly from every seat in the cosey little studio, would have told the story. When “The SameOld Story”

Easy to laugh at, but diflcult to forget. is told, it seems to take something from the show. Not bkcause it is the same old story but because it is more confusing and possibly just a little too long. The scene, however, still has as much impact as the previous two. Aine Magennis cleverly portrays the frigid, horny woman; the abortion carried to term; and the little girl mother. The same old story, that of lethal dwarf pee-

pee, deadly computer geek farts and evil anal dolls, is hardly that. Full of humour and a good dose of loaded language, the audience needs to have its collective thinking caps on for this one. A counterpart to “The Whore,” “A Woman Alone,” picks up the theme of insanity arrived at through circumstance. Heather Roberts plays a woman trapped by her own foolishness and forced into a new role as single mother. And in reaction to “Waking Up” and current social injustice, “The Dancing Mistress: On the Assembly Line” closes out the show. A’ satirical look at actual factory conditions suffered by women in some parts of the world, Vicki Sloan manages to make light - of a serious issue and leaves the audience with a feeling that something important just went by. The choice of venue for this production was excellent. The small, intimate atmosphere ofStudio 180 allowed the audience and cast to stay close so that Rame’s and Fo’s characters could impose themselves more disturbingly. Funny ‘oh no’ not funny ‘ha ha,’ this is definitely not your average night out. Some are used; some are abused; they ail have power. These are the female parts.

“But don’t despair, this day will be the damnedest day/if you take these things from me.” Not happy. And so the first single, “Cowboys,” sets the tone for Portishead’s self-titled follow-up release to their multi-platinum Dummy, opening with a spooky looped piano chord that jumps into a snare/high-hat beat lurking under Beth Gibbons’ plaintive vocals. Gibbons swings through the spectra of emotions from greyto black over a seemingly minimalist musical score. Seemingly because, upon second listen, the strings, horns and orchestration that have been skulking about in the midst of the snare and loops of 007 guitar glower at you, demanding appreciation.

Barrow, Adrian Utley and Dave McDonald. Portishead is unusual in that they list their sound engineer, Dave McDonald, as part of the band. The emphasis on production is reflected in the extensive treatment of vocals and instrumentation, and that neither of these components step on each other’s toes. Gibbons’ voice, at times, seems like it overshadows the music, until a jazzy loop pokes you in the ear for not paying attention. Hearing an album of this calibre, it’s tempting to breakout those musical cliches; “. . .picked up whereDummy left off. . .this will be looked back upon as the ‘definitive’ Portishead sound.. *setting a new standard in trip hop. . .” It’s tempting because, to paraphrase Frank Zappa, writing about music is likedancing to architecture. When something is this powerful, words don’t do the emotions justice. Remorse, rage and despair are the themes in this musical ride through the Portishead soundscape. “Make no mistake, you shan’t escape, tethered and tied, there’s nowhere to hide from me. . .A11 mine, you have to be.” It’s not a threat, it’s a promise.

The Dandy Warhols are a band that knows how to party. Before being signed to a major record deal, they were courted by all the big names, partied like rock stars and spent all their money. The problem was that they weren’t exactly rock stars yet. They found themselves with no money, and no record deal. So what did they do? Went back to the basement and recorded, so they could prove to someone that they deserve to be signed. They got some songs together, and the result is their latest release, Ct3m8 Dow*. . When a band has major labels circling them like vultures, they have to have a sound that is somewhat different, groundbreaking, or just plain likeable. On this album, there are some sounds, but it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before by the likes of Matthew Sweet and any other band who has added synthesizers to their lineup of jangly, distorted guitars. Bringing back instruments that were used by the likes of Steve Miller and many other bands

from that forgettable era has just become too overdone. The Dandy Warhols have a great sound on half of the sdngs on the album. Stand-outs include the lead-off track “Be in,” “Orange,” and “Minnesoter.” The problem is that the songs that are sub par cloud the focus of the entire album. Having an album of 10 tracks would have made for a more solid release. The Bloody Chiclets are a Canadian band with the exact same sound as the Dandys, complete with cheesy 80’s style keyboards and jangly guitars. The only difference is that they have never been wined and dined by record labels before. Does being American make a band that much better? No.

by Kudra Alobar special to Imprint Elevator to Hell formed from the remnants of indie rock heroes Eric’sTrip, after that band packed it in. Singer/guitarist Rick White and drummer Mark Gaudet, both former Eric’s Trippers, and bassist Tara White have since created Eetiecmsihtio~, a darker take on 60s psychedelia. Legends of indie rock, Eric’s Trip was influential in creating what has become the East Coast sound in Canada. This album evokes the best of early Black Sabbath or Jefferson Airplane, but with a definite four-track demo sound and Sloanish undertone. It is an interesting mixture of time and place. Many of the songs are simple, moody two or three chord progressions, but are boosted by Tara’s strong bass lines. Bass is pushed up front in the mix, but isn’t an aggressive shot at virtuosity. Rather, White plays the song and connects the guitar to the drums in a strong, percussive way. Over this is Rick’s vocal work; not

the focal point of any track, but attached to the harmony of guitar and bass to fill out the sound and provide ambiance. Mark Gaudet’s classic 60s drumming style makes the album coherent, but modern. The production value of the album is decidedly low-fi. This one will have to be turned way up for full effect. Listened to at low volume, the mix is too much lowend and is a droning bore. Crank it up for ambient guitar feedback and other electronic sounds. Add your favorite psychoactive drug for a complete, if somewhat nostalgic trip.

by Frank Yang special to Imprint First, an Ocean Colour Scene primer. They’re from Birmingham (England, not Alabama). They’re Oasis’s favourite band (besides the Beatles and themselves). Their self-titled, 1992 debut album bombed. They regrouped and released Mm&y ,!?‘~a~ four years later. It has sold nearly a miliion copies in the UK.

OCS has spent a lot of time backing up Mod-god Paul Weller, both live and in the studio. They’ve opened shows for Oasis and the Who. Flying in the face of all that is trendyin Britain,Ma~~~itl’A~~~~~ dares to not sound like either electronica or Britpop. Instead, OCS have released a soulful, organic collection of songs that sadly sound entirely unlike anything eIse on the radio. Sad, because it reminds us just how rare it is to find a band that can write good songs, that can play their instruments(without soundinglikeselfindulgent wankers) and offer some real emotion in their music. They’ve been called retro, but this is true only in the sense that they take the listener back to the era of REAL rock bands - a time when bands like the Who and Cream were at their prime, and could blow an audience right out of their seats. Recorded at the band’s own studio, the 13 tracks each offer their own distinct character, but blend seamlessly into the whole. The sparse, affecting “Big Star” fits nicely alongside the sing-along bounce of “Debris Road.” One highlight is the Motown-via-ManChester acid trip instrumental groove of “All Up.”

The R&B vibe of Moseleiy S,~YIU~S carries over to the new record, thanks in no small part to the return ofoutstandingproducer Brendan Lynch. With Lynch behind the board, the sound is big and sweepingwithout beingbombastic. Steve Cradock’s guitar playing further proves why he may be the best rock guitarist in Britain - one listen to this album makes his contemporaries sound like rank amateurs. Simon Fowler’s field holler is in fine form, raw with emotion but never overwrought. Combined with the rock-solid rhythm section of Damon Minchella

(bass) and Oscar

Harrison (drums), OCS possess a frightening musical chemistry. With each listen, Mat-chin’ Akmdy becomes more and more remarkable. The realness of this record can’t be overstated. It’s one of those rare albums that shows just how mediocre so much of the music out there today really is. Mardin’ Ahwdy is easily one of the best albums of the year, far better than Oasis’s drab Be Here Now which it will inevitably be overshadowed by. I’m not saying that Ocean CoIour Scene is bigger than Oasis, or better than Oasis. But dammit they should be.
