New student aid plans in the works Student group proposes “common sense solution” by Natalie Imprint

Gfis staff

he announcement of a 20 per cent tuition increase over the next two years has left student leadersclamouring to meet with provincial officials and ensure suitable student aid packages are in place for the coming year. The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance @USA) proposed a student aid package to the provincial government last December. “We keep getting student aid packages that penalize students,” explains UW’s Federation of Students Vice President Education and OUSA representative Jeff Gardner. The OUSA plan, designed by students with their needs in mind, would bring several benefits to student-users. The plan would extend the principalfree repayment period to three years after graduation to ease transition to employment; target loan forgiveness grants to borrowers with low incomes to control debt loads; and increase existing loan caps so that students who need more money can get it.

The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) proposed a similar plan late last year at the federal level. “Both plans make sense, and both are doable [sic] by the government,” says Garnder, OUSA is hoping the provincial gov-

ing David Johnson this Tuesday to discuss the shape ‘the new student aid plan is to take, OUSA feels they have made significant headway. Newly focused on student aid, “Johnson expressed considerable interest,” said Gardner.

Students will be able to thank Johnson for whatever bucks they get next fall. graphic ernment will use their package as the foundation for the student aid reforms promised for September of this year. Having met with Minister of Education and Train-

“The province listens with half an ear, but as soon as they hear ‘save money’ they’re all over it,” he explains. He noted that there have been solid indicators from

both levels of government that the proposals are under serious consideration. This progress comes as a relief to student leaders, who have been plagued by conflict between the provincial and federal governments over student aid. Holding out for federal assistance in setting up income-contingent loan repayment (ICLR), explains Gardner, the province has refused to move forward on student aid. Although the federal government recognizes that “the idea makes sense” for ICLR, “the feds won’t work with the province on a bad plan,” says Gardner. This has led to accusations flying back and forth between the governments. Gardner laments the lack of communication between the two levels on this issue, speculating political party differences as a cause of the problem. “The feds and the province are standing up to each other on an issue they shouldn’t even be fighting about,” he says. Gardner explains that by negotiating similar reforms with both governments, CASA and OUSA hope to act as

Student leader to work for province OUSA director takes job with Ministry of Education and Training

by Christine

Cheng staff

he Director of the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), Barry McCartan, has resigned to take a position with the Ministry of Education and Training. He will be starting his new job in two weeks time. The resignation comes at a busy time for OUSA. The organization is in the middle of Ontario Student Assistance Plan @SAP) reform discussions with the provincial government, further deregulation of undergraduate programs is being proposed and Ontario students will be facing another tuition hike in the 1998-99 academic year. It is the OUSA Director’s responsibility to present these concerns to the Ministry of Education on behalf of the 110,000 undergraduate students that the organization represents. UW is a member of OUSA through the Federation of Students. Although a transition process is in place, it will still be a while before the new director is appointed and becomes familiar with

OUSA’s position on current post-secondary Issues. OUSA has spent the past several years establishing credibility with the provincial government. There is concern that the change in leadership will setback the working relationship. “One of the biggest problems with student organizations is continuity,” says McCartan. During this transition period, OUSA will need to show consistency in its policies more than ever,

“This proves that they [the OUSA representatives] have always been qualified and competent, Thegovernment looks for tale0 t.” The switch from one side of the table to the other is a big one for McCartan. There is the potential that students may think of the job change as a defection, or as the government’s method of silencing student opposition. After all, having a former student leader onside with the provincial

McCartan will be doing the same thing as he is now, but “for more important people.” Both UW Federation of Students Vice President Education feff Gardner and McCartan believe that the change will be “good for OUSA. ” “This will make room for the next generation of student leaders,” says McCartan, Gardner takes a different tack:

government’lends instant credibility to the Ministry’s policies. Critics have accused McCartan of being a traitor to the educational cause. *‘I haven’t heard *anything like that yet,” says McCartan, but he is prepared to dismiss any critics as “simply silljr.”

Asked if he will act as a supporter of post-secondary education from within the ministry, he pointed to his track record and said, “I have always believed in the health of the post-secondary educational system.” McCartan will be working in the Ministry’s Post Secondary Division as a Research Analyst. As a part of the bureaucracy, he hopes that “doing accurate research will influence policy.” McCartan says that he will be doing more or less the same thing as he is now, but “at a different level, for more important people.” Former Interim Director of OUSA, Rick Martin, will assume McCartan’s responsibilities until a new director is hired. Martin has been serving as OUSA’s Policy Advisor and will be involved in the appointment of the new director. In the meantime, McCartan will not participate in political policy discussions. This will distance him from OUSA and the organization’s concern for compromising its stance on post-secondary issues. “There won’t be any slowdown. OUSA hasn’t lost its voice, even though I’ve lost mine,” says McCartan.

Cancer centre moves @UW cer Institute in 1993, and mandated three objectives: to support the Canadian Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute of Canada in the development and evaluation of their programs, to support Canada’s Sociobehavioural Cancer Research Networkand to stimulate behavioral research leading to cancer prevention and control, To pursue its objectives, the CBRPE received an annual budget of $1.1

million. The CBRPE’s has funded studies investigating issues such as body image and smoking among adolescent females and the use of complementary therapies in cancer treatment. The centre will have four full-time staff and four to eight research assisrants and will benefit the university by attracting top researchers as well as providing research opportunities for faculty and staff.

In addition to Cameron’s presence at UW, Waterloo is an ideal location for the centre due to the caliber of the faculty in the ‘fields of applied psychology and program evaluation.

Campuses used as shelters in Kingston, Montreal by Adam Natran Imprint staff

ommunity shelters were opened on university campuses after the devastation last week’s ice storm caused in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. In Kingston, where electricity to most of the city was lost as hydro towers collapsed, the physical education center at Queen’s University served as an emergency shelter. Campus residences lost power at around 1O:OO p.m on January 7. In response, the school’s administration offered the students a cheap rate on transportation out of the city and back to their homes in southwestern Ontario. The gymnasium at Queen’s University opened the following day as a she1 ter for area families and any other students remaining

on campus. More than one hundred people stayed at the shelter from Thursday, January 8 to the following Wednesday. Keeping the people occupied was a concern for the university staff. Supervisors opened the weight room and the pool and arranged movies and hockey games. Many more individuals visited the school periodically to take advantage of the shower facilities or to warm-up. Difficulties remained even after the power was restored to the area and families could return home. “Getting the electricity back is just the first step to recovery,” says Joan Jones, a spokesperson at Queen’s University. People are returning to houses surrounded by downed trees and damaged by flooded basements. A similar situation is plaguingresidents of Montr6al. McGill University is operating shelters at

he Waterloo Region Community Health departments campaign to vaccinate all K-W residents between the ages of 2-22 rolled through the university last week, administering the meningitis vaccine to 7,000 students in three days. Despite the large crowds of anxious students, the clinics proceeded smoothly, due in part to the many student volunteers. The university’s health services department praised the numerous students who helped out with reception, crowd control and recovery, ensuring that the long line moved quickly. The case of a 23 year-old Mississauga man who became infected with the disease while in Waterloo during New Year’s celebrations generated concern for members of the university community over 22. Those students were ineligible for the free vacl tine provided by the Waterloo region community health department. The university received authorization from the company that handles the student health plan to cover the expense of ad-

ministering the vaccine to those between the ages of 23-25 and covered by the plan, Clinics held in the Student Life Centre on January 11, 12, and 13 to accommodate the older students did not elicit the numbers of the earlier clinics, but still attracted 1,376 students aged 23-25 to receive the shot. Dr. Barbara Schumacher, Director of Health Services, said that the region’s mass immunization campaign has reached 90% of the most at risk age group, but she cautioned students that the region’s Health department has not issued an “all clear” regarding the meningitis outbreak. Students should be aware that the vaccine takes up to two weeks to become effective and 15% of people do not respond to the vaccine. Students should contiune to avoid risky behaviour that could lead to the exchange of saliva, including sharing drinks, cigarettes, or kissing. Schumacher also advises that it is prudent to avoid those behaviours in general, since students can be exposed to numerous harmful bacteria, such as those that cause mononucleosis or strep throat, by the exchange of saliva.

More than 1.5 million people are currently without electricity in Ontario and Quebec. Firefighters, police and soldiers have been attempting to persuade citizens of some Quebec municipalities to leave their homes for shelters. Sixteen people have been reported dead as a result of what is the worst storm of all time in Quebec. Nine of those deaths have been the result of carbon monoxide poisoning due to improvised heating by barbeques and other forms of power generation. Shelters still have thousands of empty beds as the ice storm continues.

conduits for communication between the federal and provincial levels. Ironically, part of the problem is the province’s attempt at maintaining public accountability. The Harris government has promised it will implement a new student aid program in time for the 1998 school year. “The province doesn’t want to go to war with the feds, but they don’t want to break their promise to the people, either,” says Gardner. “The provincial government is basically saying, ‘we don’t care how bad the system will become’; they’re going to do it because they said they would.” This is where OUSA comes in. “Our plan will bail them out...

Premier Mike Harris and his government face charges for libel after being accused of tarnishing the reputation of the Ontario Teacher’s Federation by running a series of advertisement promoting the government’s school system overhaul. The government ad campaign, which cost taxpayers over $1 million, was called a “blatant misrepresentation” by Ontario Teacher’s Federation President Eileen Lennon. Lennon also indicated that the Federation would not allow such an unfair portrayal of the teachers to pass by without their taking action. According to the teachers, the ads, which ran during and after the two week teachers strike, inaccurately accused the unions of opposing reforms to the education system as well as favouring bigger class sizes. Johnson refused to comment on the charge which is currently before the courts.

it won’t hurt anyone, and it will help students,” explains Gardner. Calling it the “common sense solution,” he says it will satisfy everyone’s agenda. Though the federal government has shown an affinity for the student associations’ plans, it has yet to agree to anything. “The federal government is our next says Gardner. Federal target,” representatives will meet with CASA at the student group’s annual conference .this February. Their proposed plan will be reviewed, and, hopefully, a decision will be made. By mid-February, Gardner expects formal plans to be set as to the shape of the future student aid package. If the federal government moves forward in their initiatives, the province is likely to follow, says Gardner.

A K-W woman was found dead last Friday, January 9 near Daniel Avenue and Bloomingdale Road. The body was identified as Kathryn Lynn Klassen, 33, of Kitchener. An autopsy did not succeed in determining the cause of death. The body was discovered by an area resident. Klassen had lived in the K-W area for about two years while the rest of her family resided in Toronto. Sgt. Pete Russo and Const. Brian Voegthe said police are treating the death as suspicious until the completion of further forensic tests.

Overhaul for Ontario school system

high

On Friday, January 9, Ontario Education Minister David Johnson announced a major overhaul of secondary schools. Scheduled to take effect in September of 1999, the changes are part of an effort to reduce high school from five years to four years. According to the overhaul,

Ontario high-school students will have to pass a Grade 10 literacy test and complete 40 hours of mandatory community service in order to graduate. As for student streaming, grades 9 and 10 students will be grouped into academic and applied courses with common elements while specialized courses will be selected by students in grades 11 and 12. To graduate, a requirement of two additional compulsory credits was also proposed. As with the current system, 110 hours of class time will have to be completed in order to receive credit for any course. As the length of high school is reduced to fours years, the government will have to ensure there are enough spaces available at university and college.

FloppyGates Millennium Project Kitchener residents Lenny Everson and Casey Jozwiakowski are planning to construct a five meter high bust of Microsoft founder Bill Gates out of old cowputer disks. They intend to call the statue the “Floppygates Millennium Project” and hope to have it completed by January 1, 2000. The endeavor stems neither from a particular love for Bill Gates nor for computers, but rather as a comment on the influence that computers have on our world, which Everson feels “someone should recognize.” Everson and Jozwiakowski are looking for a site on which to build the project as well as some 3.4 million 5 l/4 inch floppy disks they will need to build it. They intend to encase the monument in clear, UV-resistant plastic before attaching it to a concrete base. They say a university campus would be the ideal location for the statue.

Asian

economic

crisis

The fallout of the Asian economies will ripple to Canada, according to the C&e URN M& The once flourishing East Asian economy has been floundering since July with the worst economic crisis in 30 years. Currencies have plummeted along with shares at an alarming rate. On Monday, Hong Kong and Singapore saw a

drop in shares of 9%, Japanese shares fell 2 % and Thai and Taiwanese currencies hit new lows. The crises in Asia could cut Canadian growth by a percentage point or more, forcing it to a low of 2.3 per cent. The effects on Canadian business will be felt most acutely in British Columbia since one third of B.C. exports go to Asia. Ontario will be affected less since only five per cent of exports go to Asia. The effects of the crisis in Asia cannot be easily quantified. According to chief economist Paul Summerville, “You have to put it in the broadest possible context, which is that one-third of the world economy has just gone right through the floor.”

Better

bus-link

coming

Inter-city travel between Kitchener and Cambridge may soon become easier. The provincial government is planning to remove the regulatory barriers that restrict the public transit from linking inter-city travel. Cambridge and Kitchener transit systems have already worked together. Buslink offers free trqnsfer for commuters on Trentway-Wagar buses to finish their trips on Cambridge or Kitchener city buses. Both public transit systems are studying a Doon-Cambridge link and expect to report to city councils this spring.

Moon

ice mission

The search for moon ice is on as NASA sent the first spacecraft to the Moon in 25 years. The Lunar Prospector is in orbit after a trouble-free launch on January 6. The theory of moon ice, first pitched in the 196Os, was dismissed when the Apollo astronauts of the 1960s and ‘70s found the moon’s surface to be dry. The theory was reprieved in 1996 when evidence of ice was found by a satellite. The Lunar Prospector, which is orbiting 100 km above the moon, will also collect information to shed light on such debates as whether the moon was chipped off the Earth by a comet or if it was pitched during the planet’s formation.

issues letters

efore Christmas, there appeared an article in The Globe and Mail about education and the lack of job prospects for graduates with liberal arts degrees. There were a number of quotes from Mike Harris about the responsibility of universities to curtail the number of graduates in programs for which there is a surplus. He went as far as saying that these graduates, for whom-there can’t possibly be any jobs, will not be able “to contribute to society in any meaningful way.” The assumption that Harris makes when he says this is that any actions that do not generate economic activity, that do not show up in the GDP, are not meaningful contributions to society. Sorry, homemakers, you aren’t contributing to society in a meaningful way. I guess volunteer workers of any sort might as welf just stay home.” Aside from the outrageousness of the statement, the Tories’ underlying philosophy towards education becomes clear. The focus, as anyone can see, is on training cirizens for employment. The reasoning follows a narrow interpretation of classical economic theory. The provincial government gives (less and less) money to universities, so it should receive some sort of return on that investment in the form of taxes gleaned from rhe resulting economic activity. The line of reasoning continues that, if you are not trained to be immediately parachuted into the workforce, the investment in your education was a wasted one. This argument is a narrow one in an economic sense because, as usual, his accounting ignores the externalities of any kind of education. Lower health care costs, less crime and a more vigorous democratic system are just a few. Long ago, Plato articulated the difference between techne, knowledge which allows you to design plumbing systems or machines that do ten billion calculations per second, and the knowledge which allows us to perceive things like beauty and justice. (Another benefit of my arts education, I can work Plato into everyday conversations.) The point here is that the most important decisions made in our lives have nothing to do with which software is right for our business needs. The most important decisions we make have to do with being healthy and happy people. Which is the best path for our society and each individual? Which principles should inform our life choices? Any university degree should serve these ends. A degree should be part of any healthy, intelligent person’s experience, just as exercise and nutrition and an appreciation of each other’s differences are. Being very far from any freedom aspect of classic liberalism and economics, the Tories are choosing the path for us, We will be workers and consumers. We are here co serve the demands of the economy and the labour market instead of having the economy serve the needs of human beings. The ‘post-secondary education as fancy trade school’ theory is also a wild prediction of the future. I can see Mike Harris standing at a podium, a Tory blue banner rippling in the air conditioned breeze behind him saying, “In rhe next millenium, technology will solve all of our problems, so we will not need sociological studies or any kind of historical analysis. We are the perfect government so political science is now redundant. You will be too busy producing and consuming to do any philosophical introspection on the values and version of reality our society has constructed. So work hard and you will be rewarded will lots of nice consumer products,” Ofcourse, I have a personal bias. I would rather be poor than spend forty years working 80 hour weeks in an office cubicle somewhere, making someone else rich, ignoring my children, climbing the ladder, reading reports, listening to a white noise machine, breathing pumped in air, watching sycophants get ahead, coping with stress, personalizing my desktop, wearing the two piece corporate uniform, managing, compromising, dying.

Sitting Ducks

s I was reading the recent Imprint article on yet another tuition increase, I realized that students are perfect victims for economic cuts. We are a small portion of society and therefore lack power in numbers. We are too busy with school to be politically-informed and active. We are divided into separate programs and lack uniformiq. The general public views university students as ‘*decadent Remans” who party constanrly and who therefore do not respect our plight. Ic also doesn’t help that we have a VP of Education who is more passionate about bar fights than tuition increases. As such, we make perfect targets for funding cuts and debt downloading.

Corporate cave-in

n a not-so-surprisingannouncemerit, the PC government is allowing university administrators to raise tuition again, as well as deregulate grad programs and programs where “employment ‘is almost guaranteed.” In light of the massive cuts to funding at UW ($32 million since 1993), Prez Downey, senior administrators and the corporate Board of Governors willli kely opt for the whole package. 20 percent on the aver-

Invective

age undergrad tuition of $1,628 amountS to an extra $262 every semester. For many students, this means that even if we get jobs after graduating we’ll be fighting to pay off a student debt for 10 or 15 years, and in some cases longer. Those who don’t gee jobs or take on additional debts such as a mortgage will be even worse off. So where can students vent their anger? Most point to provincial or federal government or to fiscal and global realities, but the source of our woes is a lot closer to home. Enter.. .the UW corporate Board of Governors. The name is usually written as simply the Board of Governors, but I’ve added the corporate prefix to expose it for what it really is - a board where 18 of the 37 seats are controlled by senior corporate executives and only 14 are controlled by students, faculty and staff combined. This blatantly undemocratic Board makes all of the major decisions concerning this university (except on some academic issues which are decided by Senate). Seven of the Board’s seats are appointed by the Lieutenant Governor. 11 seats are appointed by the E3oard itself, to represent the “community at large” (UW act, paragraph six, section 1 l), but. in reality, only represent the corporate community. There are no representatives from CUPE, the campus’ largest union. Student and faculty reps are not elected, they are appointed by the Senate. The ~0 staff seats are the only

Irreverence

elected seats on the Board. Democracy on Campus? Forget it! With the help of the corporate vote, whatever Prez Downey says goes with the Board of Governors (Prez not elected). And what has Prez Downey been Up to these days? Backed by the corporate Board of Governors, our president has followed the lead of the Conservative Government down the road of privatization. Rhetorically, Downey has criticized this government for underfunding, but has failed to take the risks necessary co apply any serious political pressure on the government. Such risks could include publicly denouncing the government for their regressive education policies. Instead, as public funds dry up, partnerships with business have become the theme of the day. Education will be replaced by job training, accessibility will be compromised by massive student debt and our campus will be turned into a business, as plans are implemented to develop a semi-private “cechnology park” in the North campus. This is why, more and more, students are choosing to make noise and create awareness and resistance to policies outside of the corporate board room. Students are realizing the futility of rhe official consultation process. I am not suggesting completely abandonixig this process, but students need to look more closely ac other sources of political power. Our position in the board room needs to be backed up by actions outside of the board room. The

OtitRage ne of rhe methods often used to stir up anti-gay hysteria is the accusation thar gay men are promiscuous. First of all, any examination of this kind of statement should cause us to question the double standards of a society which tolerates promiscuity in straight men but condemns it in women and gay men. There is, however, statistical evidence to suggest that gay men are on average more promiscuous than straight men. But a recent study (by Michael Bailey) found that it is not that gay men desire more partners, or are more obsessed about: sex than straight men, just that they have more opportunities for sex. Most straight men don’t come close to having the number of partners they desire because they are constrained by women’s unwillingness to have casual sex. The same study found chat in thoughts and attitudes about. sex, gay and straight men were nearly identical to each other, and the same similarities were found between lesbians and straight

T’he Parking Lot is Full

Service this E

ver heard of doublespeak? Well, “services” is something of a dirry word here at UW. With Parking Services, Food Services, and the newly formed Tuition/Anal-Rape Services, it’s a wonder that Graphic Services hasn’t changed its name yet. I should tell you where this is going. I ‘m teed off at Parking Services+ It bugs me that they can show blatant disregard for their customers simply because they have a monopoly. The irony of this situation is that it’s actually cheaper to park off campus. Some data: A parking permit costs just over $100 per term, and University of Waterloo parking tickets cost $25 as opposed to $15 for city tickets ($15 vs. $10 with early payment). Plus, Parking Services can’t enforce their tickets if they don’t recognize your license plate. A case study: During the fall of 1996, I parked wherever I felt like it; I earned myself seven city tickets and one UW ticket (which

I eventually had to pay because I wanted to get a parking pass later). Last fall, I caved in and bought a .parking pass, but I still got two LJW tickets. I only bought the pass for the sake of convenience. I often work long hours at school, and I don’t like having to move my car around all the time. Several of the city tickets could have been avoided or contested: one for parking outside someone’s house for 48 hours straight, one for not driving home after drinking at McGuinness, two while I was verifiably inside William’s Coffee Pub. UW Plaza establishments will cancel your ticket if you are a legitimate customer; they are merely trying to prevent freeloading, but Parking Services gives no leeway to customers who park in the SLC lot while rhey are working late. You get a different ticket: ve.&&pa&ed in wrong lot, but the fine is the same. You’re not even allowed to park in your assigned lot between

three and six a.m. Albeit, this is only enforced if they need to plow she lot, but they ticket you even if you’re parked in a corner. I only bought the pass for its convenience. I don’t like having to move my car around in the middie of the night. The Plaza enforces its regulations so thar: legitimate customers have a place to park. I am convinced that Parking Services does it as a means of revenue generation. Them 22a u$$+nnce. In the latter case, Iam the customer. Only in a monopoly can a business get away with treating its customers so badly. I recall receiving similar treatment from local phone companies, but never from long-distance companies. I’m not going to say that I advocate parking illegally - that would be wrong. But I wish people would do ir, ‘cause I’d much rather give my money to the City of Waterloo than to fascist UW “services.”

by Lauren Stephen women. For example, men were generally more interested in visual stimulation than women, regardless of their orientation. There were a few instances where the attitudes of gay respondents shifted towards those of the opposite sex. Gay men were less concerned than straight men abouc the yourhfulness of their partners. This, I hope, will help dispel the myth that gay men are obsessed with youth (and the suggestion of paedophilia which often lies underneath it). While straight women usually desired partners who were older than them, gay women expressed little preference one way or another. The study also found that, gay men, like straight women, place less emphasis than straight men on the sexual fidelity of their partner and more on their emotional fidelity: we’re fess concerned about our partners sleeping with someone else than we are about them falling in love wirh someone else. I’m not sure why this should be the case. Maybe we’re just deeper people.

When smoke gets in your eyes by Mark Imprint

Besz staff

ack in 1992 my friends and I started smoking. We smoked anything that containcd tobacco: Cigars, pipes, cigarcttcs. I drew the line at orhcr Sll bstances, and eventually stopped smoking cigarettes too (I IIc’vt‘r smoked heavily, so it wasn’t hard). Somehow, cigars always stayed with me. Whcncvcr I had nwncy,

I would

go out and buy

cigar. Of course, the only things I could buy were the infamous ‘Century Sams” found at almost any convenience store. Because of this limitation, I would buy very infrequently in order co allow mv throat to heal from the ordeal. Still, for some reason I still kept buying them. Lacer on, I found a cigar bar that sold “premium” cigars from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and the LJS. It was a Churchill (I have no idea what the brand was, I just know it wasaChurchi11)and my friend and I sat in the bleachers ofa football field smr)king it at 11 o’clock at night. It took us three hours to get anywhere close to the end of it, and then I had to go homt-. Neverthc-less, the actual tasteof a good cigar brought back my craving to smoke and I began to shop at that cigar bar more often, increasing and broadening

my enthusiasm and inevitably my price tags. I’ve found other places to buy and tried almost all the kinds of cigars out there. It’s one of the only habits that has stayed with me since those old days. Ofcourse, people askmewhy I smoke cigars. They cannot undcrstand my penchant for them. Yes, I know that many find the smell of a cigar comparable to a gas station washroom that hasn’t been cleaned in ten years. 1 know that the smell and smoke lingers for hours in the air like a thick grcy fog, annoying all who come within it or my presence. I know that many think smoking a cigar is like sucking on the tailpipe of a Buick. Granted, it is an acquired taste; however, 1 love it. I love the aroma, the dense smoke rolling from the end of the cigar. But there is much more to the explanation of why I love cigars to just leave it as “the taste” or “tht: smell.” To say thar: I enjoy the taste doesn’t explain anything about the actual act of smoking a cigar. Smoking a cigar is a social, reIaxing hubby. I call it a hobby because it is not an “addiction”, especially since becoming addicted to it in the truest sense would require that one would smoke and inhale at Icast two cigars a day. I cannot afford such an addiction. It does, however, take a cer-

tain devotion to make cigar smoking a pastime. You must enjoy the cigar for the cigar, and be able to like the flavour. I don’t smoke to look cool and I pray I never have to go to such a length to feel good about myself. I smoke because it relaxes me, because it tastes good, because I like: to

or if you’re just starting out, but I’ve heard that the fumes from the sulphur and gas linger in the cigar. If you really want to dive in, try a butane or low-sulphur match (when you light the match, let it burn off the sulphur, then light your cigar). If you’re going to USC= matches, expect to be there for a while, because to get a cigar lit with a match takes a bit of practice. Before lighting the cigar, gently toast the end of it by rotating it near a flame at a horizontal position until the end is slighti) charred, so that it will burn faster when actually trying to light it. When you begin to light the cigar, you should draw the flame to the end of the cigar, and not immerse the entire end it. Once you see the beginnings of burning coal and large amounts of smoke, you’re lit.

Cutting

by Ali Smith

and lighting

Well, there are many ways to cut a cigar, and it all depends on what kind of draw you want on it. The most popular method is the guillotine, which cuts the entire end of the cigar off. This creates a light draw throughout the cut end. When you cut, you only cut a bit off. About l/Mth ofan inch is the minimum length to cut, but to cut any more would just shorten the cigar. There is also the plucker, which is my favourite cut. It involves digging into the end of the cigar with a circular razor about 3 mm in length and “plucking” out the cap (the end). This creates a stronger taste in the draw as it forces the smoke to compress at the hole. Other methods include the V cut and the piercer. The V-cut, or cat-eye cut, creates a v-shaped cut in the cap. I’ve never tried this method though I’ve heard it cuts too deeply and gets bits of tobacco in your mouth. Also there is a piercer, which pierces a small hole in the cap. This makes an even more concentrated draw and could make it quite hot. Finally, thereis the most wellknown cut - your teeth. Not exactly a polite way to do it, nor a clean one for all the tobacco bits that end up in your mouth., but it will do in a pinch. Now that it’s cut, how do you light it? Well, first you pick a Iighter, Regular matches and gasoline lighters are OK in a pinch

cigar etiquette

One should always be ~1 conciencious smoker, which means thatyoushouldsmokeyour cigar where you will annoy the least amount of people at a time. Cigar Bars or cigar-friendly estab Iishments are always a good place to go to enjoy a drink and cigar b> yourself or with friends. Cigar\ are also good in the great outdoors, away from complainers. Also, one should really be careful where one waves their ci gar, for cigar ash can go flying :llr any time. Another tip: never knock your ash on the floor of any establishment. They have perfectly good ashtrays that I’m sure they would love to lend you. On a final note, I’d like to address cigar haters. You know who you are: the ones who go out of your way just to tell me how much they tlnd cigars disgusting. Yes, it can give me cancer. Rut so can the sun, the hole in the ozone layer and car exhaust. And let’s not forget the numerous other things that can kill me, like high cholesterol, mennigitis, and mad cow disease. Nevertheless, I’m willing to take my chances. I’m not smoking near you, I’m not pushing you to try it. I’m just trying to smoke my cigar in peace. So please leave me alone.

FreethoughtWaterloooffersa forum for non-traditionalthinkers by Tim special

Campbell to Imprint

n behalfof Waterloo, welcome returning

Freethought I’d like to back all the for the W98

students term. This is the second term that this newly-formed student club has been in operation. It began its existence early last term, and is blossoming into a collection of individuals who are interested in a common philosophy; namely, utilizing the freedom of thought, which is, of course, one of the most important values in any individualistic society. Freethough t Waterloo is attempting to fill in the gap as a medium for those people who have been shunned for all of time, to come together and share ideas, information and meet others who are like themselves. For coo long, there has been no official student representation for the freethinkers who walk among the population of our illustriouscampus. One need look no further than the nearest

cork-board in the hallway (or the SLC Great Hall during club day) to see that there is a plethora of religious student clubs here at UW, and none for the heathens, until now. There has been a clear indication in past issues of Imprint that there is a good percentage of people who do not agree with traditional ideas that are perpetuated by the pious, and Statistics Canada has recorded a recent surge in the numbers of non-religious Canadians. If you are one of those people who chooses not to accept what they have been ‘taught’ and wishes to be able to act independently of any such institution, then I suggest you take a quick look at what Freethought Waterloo has to offer. Come to the first meeting of the W98 term in room SLC 1115 at 545 pm on Thursday January 22nd, and see for yourself (around the corner from Imprint and down the stair - the old smoking room). All you need to bring is an open mind. For further information, contact: fttlou~~~~rncsclub.uwa~rl~.~

ost of us are settled back into school by this point, and we are in one of two positions: First, panicked because of all of the work we have to do, messed by the problems with our landlords, or feeling short of cash. The second position we students might be in involves a desire to get involved in something more, something that will take up some of our time but will be rewarding because it will help our fellow students. That’s right - some of us still have time to volunteer! If you are in either position, the Feds can give you a hand. We run several services using some of the money students pay to us each term. These services are not there to make money; they are there to help students. They are run by students, staffed by students, and serve students. There is Peer Assistance Links, or PALS, a phone line staffed by students willing to listen. Whether you need information about counselling in the area or just want to talk to someone anonymously, PALS can help. PALS is currently hiring for this term, and can be reached by calling 888-4860. If legal stuff is more to your liking, try the Legal Resources Office. This office deals with many landlord/tenant issues, referrals, and general legal difficulties. A lawyer comes in regularly to give students legal advice. The LRO always needs help, so call

ext. 4634 to set up an appointment or to volunteer. Students sometimes do run short of money and find that they need help with food. Our food bank is open for any student in need and can be accessed several times per week. Food is also left at the Turnkey desk in case no one is available in your time of need. If you are a student who does not need food but who wants to help, please look for donation bins across campus, or call the Feds to volunteer. The Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo is a service for gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered and open-minded straight people on campus, and provides several services. GLLOW hosts discussion groups each Wednesday night, has a housing list, hosts social activities, and many other events. Reach GLLOW at 884-GLOW.

CK comes to town by Stephanie Imprint

Speller Staff

t seems so be that some of the best kept secrets are found here in Waterloo. Last Saturday at the Revolution was one of the best kept of them all-a fashion show with a communicative twist. The main sponsor for the event. was Page Pass, a pager company that wanted to do something different. They looked at the fashion trends from the SOs,7Os, 9Os, and the ‘&next millennium,“and demonstrated how exposed the present and future fashion is to technology and communication today. The evening began at 8:30 with a quick Video Presentation of the eras of fashion that have passed, and what to expect for future fashion. Shortly after that,

Wait! What’s that strangely pleasant buzzing feeling? Oh. It’s just my pager. Never mind. photo by jcx Palmer

the first string of models appeared on the runway with Club Millennium’s clothes from Denmark. The 50s theme was emphasised with still shots of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn in the background. Although the clothes had a 90s look to them, they had been properly accessorized to represent the 50s and were definitely the “bees knees”. The next era presented was the 70s. Club Millennium was also responsible for these designs, and the disco theme was extremely prevalent. The suits, the mini skirts, the boots-everything screamed Austin Powers, which was just groovy, baby, yeah. As the evening progressed, The Revolution filled up quickly with many people who were curious as to why there was a runway set up on the dance floor. Inquir-

ing students soon had their questions answered as the next models appeared on stage. The 90s theme was represented by one of the most anticipated designers of the evening. Calvin Klein presented his new Spring/Summer line. The communication twist was added to this line in that all the models were visibly sporting pagers (from Page Pass, of course) on various parts of their body. Unfortunately, the same 80s theme seems to have taken over Spring and Summer clothing with strapless dresses and stilettos being very common. The “New Millennium” offered hope however, as Sherri Lyn Vincent’s designs hit the runway. Her line is called High Voltage, and can be found here in Waterloo at Just Between Us and in T.O. at Sub Text and Ac Izzy’s. ShortskirtsandfunkytopsinPVC came in a variety of colours for those who like to club hop and stand out from the crowd. Vincent is currently ranked the 5th best designer in Canada, and should look forward to a busy career in the fashion industry. As the evening of fashion came to an end, the models joined the students on the floor for some funky fun. If you were one of the luckyones tohearabouttheevent and make it there, I hope you had a good time. And for all those who missed it, tdry to keep your eyes and ears openthere are usudlly some very interesting things happening in the K-W area.

Be one of the BUDS by Sarah Kamal specid to Imprint

f you’re looking for the experience of using your ideas and creativity to build a volunteer organization from scratch and want a chance to strut your stuff, then you may want to join me in founding BUDS. BUDS is pretty simple. It’s just about friendship and learning. Based on the Big Brothers paradigm, it will pair UW students with high school students in the K-W region who are on the verge of dropping out or are experiencing similar difficulties at school. In a sense, this pairing gives a chance for high school students to find out what university is all about and to discover an academic/ social role model, a friend, and a confidant in their Big Buddy. This is especially important now chat budget cutbacks and phase-outs of specialized programs have left Ontario teachers

with less time to spend on students who need extra attention in secondary school. I’m working with Frontier College, a nation-wide literacy organization, and Big Brothers of K-W co make this project a reality. If it works, it has the potential of spreading to other university campuses and Big Brothers/ Sisters chapters across Canada. The project is in its infancy right now, but is growing rapidly. It’s going to be a lot of hard but very rewarding work to put this all together, so I’m looking for people to f11l directorship positions in the organizational team thac’ll be planning the pilot for the project which will be run this Fall. If you’re interested in finding out more about BUDS, drop by our informational session on Thursday, January 22nd in DC1304 at 5pm. If you can’t make it, you can drop me a line at skamal@descartes or call x5757 for more information.

Sure, Denver took the difficult route, going in as a wild card team, but they’re still playing Green Bay right? Sure we got hosed in a few places, lilrcaurpicking the Giants to bottom out at 3-13, while they actually won the NFC East with a 1O-5 1 record.

ceve Maga is the best point guard in the country. No question. Ask CAGE, Canada’s national hoop magazinc, they’ll tell you. Last Saturday Stevie-boy and the Marauders of M&laster opened their regular season taking on the Warriors in Waterloo. The PAC was packed and the five-in-a-row league champions came in ranked #3 in the country. It was an afternoon of norms and repeat performances. Once again Mano Watsa proved that he’s more dangerous than radiation exposure (33 points). Once again Titus Channer, AllCanadian superguard, got his points (22). Once again Derek Maat bumped around with the meaty big kids (Akrong 6X”, Rusic 6’S”, Riprich 6’7” and Spithoff 6’8”) and held his own. Once again Mac left victorious, 82-73. Firstly everyone knows Manohar is don. He shot S7%, grabbed eight rebounds and dropped more Jays than Skydome. Which brings us to our friend Steve, who had the best seat in the house for the Watsa epiphany. Needless to say Maga had a tough day. A little history needs to be known to appreciate. In the summer of ‘95 Mano had to raise a ruckus to get on the Ontario Provincial squad. Steve was a lock by name alone. Yet by the tournament’s final game Watsa is handling the starting point guard duties. At the tryouts for the ‘97 junior

national team, by all accounts Maga got embarassed. Yet Mano was cut on the same day Steve blew out his knee. Yet no one had any doubt Maga would have made it. January 10, 1998, Mano lights Maga up. Stay tuned. However, basketball is still a learn game and for the time being the Marauders are better. It was close (down by 3 with 1:lZ left) but not close enough. Down low, except for the bruising Akrong took from Maat and four rude rejections by Zav and Schippper, the Warriors got used. A marked lack of aggressiveness on the offensive wings was coupled with soft defense on the defensive wings. Doyle, Baptiste and Channer repeatedly penetrated the Waterloo paint and more often than not created points. Despite all this only a

Look for Jack Stroeder, the team’s other superman, to deliver the fire against Windsor and this weekend against Lakehead. Josh “Golden” Holden looked tentative in his league debut after surgery in September, but his game and potential are unquestionably nice. Also look for Mark Rigeau to crank the shotgun once or twice when the inevitable double on Watsa gets there. The Warriors are talented and ripe with potential but someone other than the country’s best point guard will have to bring the noise if they are to win games. P.S. Have you seen the Maxx Lapthornc’s handle or Jody Hawley’s jumpshot? Check out both these wonders of the world at the next Athena home game.

by Kerry O’Brien special to Imprint

acalyn White is not an athlete content to stick with one aspect of anything. Besides being an outstanding starting post player for Athena Basketball, she also enjoys outdoor sports like hiking and horseback riding. But even within the sport of basketball she refuses tolimit herself. She decided to “prove all the coaches wrong” and learn to dribble and shoot outside like a point guard. And in the dosing seconds of a game last year with her team down three points, she nailed a three-pointer to send the game into overtime, where the Athenas managed to eke out a win, “Coach [Tom] O’Brien was very thankful, I don’t know exactlywhat he said, but it was something like ‘I was going to shoot you if you missed it, but I’m so

glad that you didn’t. You’re off the hook.“’ This sort of set-your-own path attitude is helpful to a post player and especially to someone like White, who is a “non-denominational” Christian in a world where anti-Christian values dominate the media and marketplace. “My faith is the big thing,” she explains. “How I react on the court here is I try to think of how Christ would react on the court, and try to react about the same way.” White is not only a Christian of words, but of act. She is a leader with Athletes in. Action at the university. Athletes in Action is a group of Christian athletes who encourage other athletes to develop their spiritual side. She says there is a favourable reaction among her non-Christian teammates to her involvement with AIA and her faith, “They respect it and they think it’s great. They’re very open to listen to it

and they’re very open to discussing spiritual mittcrs and it’s really good because it’s encouraging to me to know that I can talk about what I believe in and not be shut down for it.” The fourth year student also has big plans for the future, Currently enrolled in pre-Optometry, she plans to study Optometry down in the States next year. However, should some problem arise, she is fully willing to stick around and play out her last-year of eligibility for the Athenas next year, a decisioti which would sit nicely with all members of the team. White averaged 17 points and 12.6 rebounds at the last tournament with the Athenas, easily beating out a spot on the tournament all star team. Jacalyn White is no doubt one of the leaders on this year’s Athena team. She will be sorely missed both under the boards and in the locker room after her graduation.

fter a disappointing l-6 start to their regular season, the Warrior Volleyball Team has shown some muchneeded signs of improvement so far in 1998. Faced with not qualifying for the playoffs, the once highly-touted Warriors need to win their remaining five league matches to have a shot at the OUA West Division title. A fall term that began with confidence and optimism quickly deteriorated intonoching but frustration for the Warriors. First, fifth year middle Ivan Luke injured his shoutder and was sidelined for a month, followed by a wrist injury to fourth year middle and co-captain Jason Hubbard that almost put him out for the season. Second year setter Mark Gatto, defensive specialist Peter Olijnyk and middle Colin Snell have also been troubled by nagging injuries. Excruciating five set losses to Windsor, Guelph and undefeated Western as well as competition from many top ranked CLAU teams at tournaments resulted in an overall record of 3-17. In the marathon match with Western, the Warriors lost stand-out power

hitter Jeff Lingard to an ankle injury. December saw the Warriors with nine matches in just eleven days, including a trip to Sherbrooke, managing to win only one set during this period. However, a four-set victory in an exhibition match versus defending OUA West Division champs Laurier last Wednesday and a fourth pla’ce finish at the York Excalibur tournament on the weekend have given the Warriors some much needed confidence heading into the second half of their season.

victory over 18 and 3 OUA West Division leaders, Western, in the quarter finals. The fourth place finish was the best for the Plague in recent history. Ivan Luke was named a tournament all-star for the first time as a Warrior. Playing out his last year of eligibility, the veteran seems unwilling to end his career on a sour note. Fifth year setter Brian Snooks has helped the team tremendously by filling in as a power hitter while rookie Al Colquhoun has also helped fill the void left by

Key performances came from Hubbard and Gatto. After splitting the first two games, the Warriors seemed relaxed and cruised through the’ next two. At York the Warriors placed third in their pool after tough losses to York and Tsukuba, a university team from Japan featuring two Japanese National Team players. The highlight of the tournament was a three set

Rookie Tim Beyers attributes the better performances to a shift in team character. “We’ve got nothing to lose now so we’re just letting it all hang out, playing for the love of the game and letting the winning part take care of itself.” The Warriors head to Dalhousie this weekend to face the Tigers, Manitoba, Memorial and Sherbrooke in another CIAU tournament.

Two hundred participants are needed to make the event rake off, and while the organizers are quickiy nearing that goal, the more people who come out, the more the Food Bank benefits. Anyone can sign up; individuals will be placed on teams, or groups of ten can sign up. It is sure to be a fun and exciting time with prizesand giveaways such as health and fitness equipment. No one is expected torunfor24hoursstraight-sleep and rest areas will be provided, as well as live music for entertainment.

Beneath the remains of Sepultura by John Meagher special to Imprint

fyou have not yet heard about the breakup of Brazil’s thrash/ metal band, Sepultura, then you must not be down with today’s metal scene, because it happened over a year ago. Sepultura’s manager, Gloria (ex-vocalist Max Cavalera’s wife) was fired by Andreas, Igor and Paula Jr. because they felt she was managing her husband, not the band. This enraged Cavalera, causing him to quit Sepultura and generating lots of tension between the members, as well as lies and rumors among fans. The split has also created several positive aspects, as the band members are picking up the pieces and getting new projects

projects that Sepultura fans await with great anticipation. Sepuitura disbanded on December 16, 1996, after the final show of their U.K. tour at the Brixton Academy in London. This was the last day of Gloria’s contract and she was given a letter of dismissal by Andreas, Igor and Paula Jr. after the show. They had been having a problem with her for a long time, feeling that she was taking care of Max’s interests and not giving enough respect to the rest of the band. Max Cavalera could not beIieve this was happening, as he saw Gloria as the reason for Sepultura’s success. He claimed that GIoria had been there through thick and thin and had believed in them from the start. In a fit of rage, he faxed a

live show.” Max feels he and his wife have been forced out of the band and finds it especially unfair for Gloria, as her son, Dana had passed away three weeks before Gloria got fired. The rest of the band sees a lot of inconsistency in Max’s public statements and feel that many of the accusations made against them are coming from Gloria, not Max. Guitarist, Andreas Kisser stated in the remaining members’ defense, that they don’t want Max to divorce Gloria in order for Sepultura to continue; only to find a balance. They proposed that Cavalera keep Gloria as his personal manager, and the rest of them be managed by someone new. Max blatantly refused their proposa1, accusing them of being traitorous and interested solely in money. He claimed that Gloria had been extremely fair to all of the members, even assisting Kisser in purchasing a new home. Andreas, Igor and Paulo Jr. will continue as Sepultura, with Andreas on vocals, and leave the door open for Max, should he ever choose to come back. “I think continuing the band will make Max realize that the right thing was done,” commented percussionist, Igor Cavalera (Max’s brother), “If we split up now, he’s gonna truly believe that him and Gloria were the band.”

Max doesn’t plan on re-joining Sepultura any time soon, as he feels he would be re-joining on the other members’ terms and does not want to work in an environment where he has no say. He also said that their last album, Roots was his “baby” and, without him never would have happened. Igor contradicted this statement, pointing out that “I played the drums and Paula played bass; there’s Roots right there.” Despite the argument over who deserves to continue the tribal concept of Roots, Andreas stated u ...we’re not going to try and be like the Sepulcura of the past. We changed a lot, grew up a lot, and that will be reflected in our lyrics and music.” The new Sepultura has been very busy working on new material and have done a pre-production mix with an American label. They claim they are very satisfied with this recording instrumentally, but need another vocalist, as Kisser’s vocals are not satisfactory on their own. They already have 13 songs fit to go on an album and, once they find a new singer, they will go into the studio. Sepultura plans to finish recording by mid-1998 and follow the new album’s release: with a Brazilian tour. . Max Cavalera has also been putting fresh material together

with a new band. In fact, his new project sounds even more interesting than Sepultura’s. Although his new band has no name as of yet, they are well on their way to completion of a new album, titled “Eye for an Eye”, which is scheduled for release in April. The list of musicians he has recruited to assist him with this project is quite phenomenal.The new album will feature performances by Mario Caldato (Beastie Boys production), Burton C, Bell, Dino Cazares and Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory), D.J. Le- thal (House of Pain}, Chino (Deftones), Eric Bobo (Cypress Hill), plus many others. The style of music being produced by this superstar lineup differs from song to song, but is described to contain similarities to Sepultura’s Roots, Nailbomb (a past project of Cavalera and Cazares), and Korn. The sound is apparently hardcore/punk combined with dubbing, tribal percussions/vocals and metal influences. Fans of Sepultura are greatly mourning the loss of these metal icons but, still have much to look forward to in the next year. If you have never heard any Sepultura, but like thrashy music, or are just curious, pick up their latest release, RUOJ;F, and be prepared for one of the best musical experiences you’ve ever had.

E. Beattie staff

here’s a lot of sadness and madness in our family,” Aunt Hope said. “I hope you don’t catch it”. So begins Georgina Hammick’s painfully genuine character study of a dysfunctional family. The novel charts the life of Hannah from a confused little girl growing up in England, to a bitter alcoholic single mother who dreams of journeying to Arizona. Hannah is cared for by her aunt and uncle ( he dies when Hannah is fairly young) because her mother is in a mental hospital and her father abandoned her. She does not find out the true circumstances of her mother’s breakdown until she is in her teens. Hammick’s voice is distinct and authentic. Hammick has captured the unfairness and confusion ofchildhood. Throughout her childhood Hannah is surrounded by alcoholism, betrayal and mental illness. Hannah sees everything that goes on but does not understand everything she sees. The adults around her make no attempt to explain their strange actions, leaving Hannah toa world

of secrets and guesses that she can only unravel many years later when she has already fallen into many of the same traps that her family fell into. Hammick does not gloss over the unpleasantness of childhood, or life for that matter. All of the characters in the novel are incredibly brutal to each other. Hannah’s aunt is more likely to correct Hannah’s spelling or grammar then show her that she loves her, yet when Hannah’s son is born, no amount of nurturing is too much for him. At the same time

Hannah can’t stand the sight of her overweight son and resents his intelligence. This book deals with many heavy issues, but Hammick deals with them so honestly that they do not weigh down the book too much, This book is not simply a light read but it is not heavy handed either. Some people who can’t identify with Hannah will probably hate her and the book. Others will see things they recognize and find this book fascinating. It is a well written book about difficult subjects.

t is difficult todecide whether Quentin Tarantino’s work is supposed to reflect American values or what he admires most about American film making. With regard to the former, the films his name has most often been associated with, Resmoir Dogs and Pulp FictJon, are about people who use violence and/or deception to obtain money and/ or power. Are they a critique of what the American dream has come to be? The sacred right to bear arms has begotten the highest murder rate of any modern industrialized country. “The pursuit of happiness” has come to mean a competition that rewards any self interested behaviour, legal or not, where the payoff is unlimited cool cars, sex and drugs and the only crime is getting caught. Jackie &-own continues in the same spurting vein as Reervoir Dogs and Ptilp Fiction with another set of characters that operate completely outside what anyone could loosely call ‘civil society’. In Tarantino’s latest exploration of America’s underworld, though, we see the former video store clerk’s theory of movies a little more clearly. J&c&e Brown was intended to

affectation nearly as well as Robert DeNiro. He loses concentration during conversations so that you can tell he isn’t listening. He can’t find his way out of a mall and forgets where he parked the car; just great dopiness. The standout performance of the filmcamefrom Robert Forster playing a bail bondsman who deals with Ordell, bailing out Jackie and falling in love with her. He has agreat American, upstate New York aycksent and plays and honest forthright man who gets involved in the whole scam that selves as the plot for the movie. He also has a great face for closeups. The real problems arise when the Taranticoisms begins to wear thin. He shows us the same scene from two different perspectives, revealing the story in nonlinear time like the cafe scene in Pulp Fiction. This time, however, it isn’t necessary. You don’t see two different conversations or plot sequences, rather, you see the same scene from two different camera angles. The shootings are easily predictable. More blood in a car interior. Samuel Jackson says “repugnant shit” again. The real problem is that Tarantino made a solid ninety minunte film and stretched it an hour longer. The characters are interesting and fun, but without strong and original dialogue, they wear out their welcome.

be less of an epic, like Pulp Fit?&, and more ofa character study, and it ended up as a very long (time) homage to Pam Grier, who plays the title character. Grier is the star of a seventies genre of films tagged blaxploitation, playing gun toting black sex kittens. Jo&e Bmwn begins with 70s music playing over top of a long shot of Grief walking through and airport terminal and she remains on screen for almost every second of the film’s first hour. Her performance as an aging, street smart but vulnerable flight attendant and conwoman is believable, but it suffers from her being on screen so much. Once in a while, her delivery of Tarantino, “1’11 pop a cap in yo’ ass, nigga” dialogue breaks down a bit. The character of Jackie Brown also gets less and less easy to sympathize with as the story goes on. Even Grier’s undeniable attractiveness fades after seemingly endless minutes of close-ups, where her face fills the screen in all kinds of light and make-up permutations. The rest of the characters range from weak to excellent. Samuel L. Jackson redoes Jules Winfield as Ordell, a slightly less likeable, oversexed, less intelligent thug. Michael Keaton’s twitchy Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms agent is funny without being the dumb cop. Brigitte Fonda is enjoyable as Jackson’s bikini topped stoner girlfriend, but doesn’t pull off the pothead

ack Nicholson. All you have to do is say those words and they’ll usually be followed by h, yeah, I’m going to that!” Although Nicholson’s last movie MuzrA&z&was greeted with split reviews, As Coodus it Gets should vault him right back on top of Hollywood’s heap of actors. The golf club-swingin’, Laker-mcionin’ Nicholson plays Melvin Udall, an obsessive-compulsive romance writer who is about as far from a romanticsweetheart as Stephen King is from a technical manual writer. Melvin routinely insults people with casual disregard, even his love interest, played to sarcastic perfection by a surprisingly-brunette Helen Hunt. She’s a waitress named Carol with a sick son who’s living day-to-day with her mother. And in the third corner of the love

triangle is Nicholson’s gay artist neighbor Simon. Simon, played by Greg Kinnear, mercifully avoids all gay stereotypes prelevant in movies like TheBirdcage. Melvin himself comments in the middle of an argument “Aren’t you people supposed to be more sensitive?” The first half of the movie drags horrendously, with lots of unnecessary dialogue. Although some of the time was well used to flush out the nuances behind each character, there were some scenes that could have been omitted altogether. Nicholson’s indiscriminate insults carry the film at this point, calling a waitress ‘&elephant woman” and describing how to create women characters in novels: “I think of a man and take away logic and accountability.” He slowly comes out of his shell as he discovers love for his neighbor’s dog Verdell. Finally, the three main characters go on a road trip, picking up the plot and running it full speed until the end of the film. There’s not a bad perform-

ance to be found in this movie. Even secondary characters played by Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Mtzguire) and Yeardly Smith (The simpsons) are extremely well written and performed, even if Goading’s part was nigh-identical to his role in Jq Maguire. As far as the writing goes, James L. Brooks (who wrote, produced, and directed) went to great pains to ensure a completely un-cliched ending. He refuses to allow any sort of resolution to come about until it is completely realistic and believable for the characters, even when it would have been easier on himself to end it. He writes as though it’s Melvin’s world, apparent when Melvin introduces Simon and Carol according to their role in his life: “Carol the waitress, meet Simon the fag.” A good indicator of this movie is Jm Maguire with a dash of reality and humor that doesn’t always relate to some damn kid. Although I know you hate to spend your movie money on Ti&znic, go something besides give it a tr)F.

songs on the uzhn?

I’d really have to pick two, ‘cause there’s two songwriters in the band and I’d hate to jump the fence (laughs). I’d say “Fade” and “Stupid thing to say,” because it’s got some nice bass lines (ed. noteRosie is the band’s bass player).

Yeah. We had one that was recorded with no vocals that some day someone might hear. We used to play it live, but we had a bad experience playing with the Odds in Washington D.C. for the label president. We opened with a song that he’d never heard. We kinda got a little shit for that. We also had three or four songs that we worked pre-production on, but we kinda ran short on time and the record conipany kinda didn’t want to deaI with our unfinished stuff. Next time we want to give the record company a more complete list of songs, so they have a little less chance to mess with the soligs.

I would say that it’s very similar to being independent in Canada. ,When you start out, you start out small if you hook up wit5 a cool band you’re in there. The crowds have been small; it’s not like it is in Canada, It’s like were starting again; you have to go to the college radio stations, say hi. It’s not that it’s a bad thing, but you really have to work it. We’ve had some pretty decent opening bands; we’ve opened for the Foo Fighters and most recently, the Dandy Warhols. A lot of kids there come up to us and say they’ve seen our videos. It’s kinda cool. We’ve had a really great touring year.

I think Pavement.

my favorite band right now is Certainly Guided by Voices,

Red Red Meat, Spiritualized and of course the Dandy Warhols. I do find however that music is a bit of rut nowadays. I think the electronica thing started out pretty cool, but I really think it’s missing something. I certainly don’t think that it’s going to be the thing to define our generation. I think the Canadian scene has been getting better and better though. We always get good crowds in places like Toronto.

That’s a tough one. I wish I knew. Hopefully you don’t throw this in my face later if I’m wrong, but I’d say it won’t be as produced. It’ll still be similar guitar-oriented pop, but not quite as slick. Maybe more of a live feel. Greig keeps quoting Neil Young, who said the best album he ever put out was a live album. The studio and the live scene are really two different things and I really have no problem with a produced album. Any ahice for indit bunds ttying tu muke it? You gotta work it, man. You gotta do the traveling, you’ve gotta tour, you’ve gotta put the time in. Make a demo and make it the best you can. Record companies can’t be bothered with low quality demos, ‘cause they’ve got four hundred others to listen to. You’ve gotta get people to remember you.

Well, here’s my band news. Greig, our singer/guitar player, was in New York, and he got mugged. He’s okay but he doesn’t have a watch. We also rolled the van on I25 in Colorado, just outside of Denver. It was our second show with the Dandys, we were on our way, and the weather was inclement. We moved out of the fast lane. We kinda turned 180 and hit the median, which was kind of a large ditch. I felt the van slide, but I never thought we were gonna roll it. I ended up in the seat behind me, and Bill knocked the rear view mirror off but we were all okay. What really pissed me off was that a Director’s Cut of the Spinal Tap movie in the trailer got wrecked before I had a chance to see it.

Women and children first by Lisa Johnson Imprint staff It is no small feat to create a soundtrack that perfectly com.pliments a motion picture, especially when the movie is one of such magnitude asTitanic. Director James Cameron could have been tempted to do with this soundtrack what many have done in the past: compile a list of the top-grossing radio and video stars and slap together a “must-have” CD. Fortunately, Cameron has more respect for his audience, so he hired James Horner to produce the soundtrack. Thus, we are given Titankc - an original (in the truest sense of the word) CD with fifteen songs composed and conducted by James Horner. Make no mistake about it, this is an orchestral soundtrack, with the exception of the love theme “My Heart Will Go On” performed by Celine Dion. This ballad is sure to be a popular songat weddings in the next few years. One does not have to be an expert on classical music to appreciate the artistry of this album. When listened to in its original form, from beginning to end, the music sonically re-tells the events of the film.

by Natalie Imprint

Gillis staff

Since their first LP in 1986, Mecca Normal have never made music for the weak-spirited. Despite lyrical songwriting and beautiful acoustic melodies, Jean Smith’s jarring vocals are not meant for mood music. Mecca Normal’s recent albumI&%&~~ Ehis?, their fourth release on Matador Records and their second as a threesome

The proverbial emotional roller- coaster comes to mind here. From the up-beat, soaring arrangement, “Leaving Port,” which encompasses feelings of freedom and grandeur, to the choppy, often unsettling “The Sinking,” to the quietly heartbreaking melodies and breathy vocal accompaniment on “A Life So Changed,” this album will surelytake the listener on a cathartic journey. Melody strains are sometimes repeated throughout the score. This adds coherence, for it is a natural part of that cathartic journey to experience different levels and varying interpretations of similar arrangements and emotions. In developing the score, Horner incorporated the use of vocals at times, as well as synthesizers, and of course, a full orchestra.

(the guitar-bass duo acquired a drummer for their last album), departs somewhat from their typically political themes. Instead, it chronicles the rise and fall of love (“Don’t Heal Me Like a Dog Just to Break Me Like a Horse,” “The Way of Love”), life and history (“Medieval Man” and the title track), sometimes with humour, sometimes with epic storyteliing( “In Canada”), and always with a strong sense of the poetic. Smith’s surprising tonal range, which varies between sugary sweetness to something not unlike a feline in estrus (most notably on the almost unlistenable “All About the Same Thing”), is complemented by David’ Lester’s guitar, which both attacks and lulls the listener, echoing Smith’s emotional range, and often buffering her raucous vocals with subdued melodies and quiet rhythms. By far the most impressive track on this album is “The Way of Love.” Lester’s guitar creates a lush soundscape which is filled out by Smith’s desperate lyrics and poetic kernels of truth (“1 know I said I love you/ I never thought you thought it was true/ It’s the way of love/ I thought you knew”). The entire experience is like an aural balm for the soul. This is certainly not an album that will fade into the background, but if you can hear past Smith’s uh, &~rzc&~ vocals, it is definitely one that deserves a listen.

by Mike Downing special to Imprint With an average voice, average beats, average songs and a killer producer (Babyface), Sam Salter arrives on the scene. First up, on the cover, this brother’s fronting a playalistic top hat and a suit with a golden tie - his mom must’ve had to pawn the mini-van to put it on layaway. There’s also a strung-out looking girl caressing an antique Rolls Royce. So you’re thinking this guy is a player right? WRONG! He is a Babyface clone. Which, in case you don’t know, is as far from playing as OJ is from innocence. (Yikes! Can we get sued for that?) Anyway it’s not fair to rock this guy just because his record company didn’t have the sense to match his image with his music, which is average at best. The opener, “Your Face” is as good as it gets. The title cut delivers somewhat. Yet you get the feeling that Babyface’s song writing and production is all that holds this debut together. Although, as one friend noted, “I’ve got all these beats on my Yamaha keyboard.”

This album is great before bed because it’s got so many mediocre slow jam.s It should come with a “Do not operate heavy machinery” label. The only thing that saves him is an inbred smoothness to his voice that might make this worth it. Also, in all fairness the CD does grow on you, so maybe after a couple more listens I would have loved it. Yet I get the feeling that somewhere RKelly is wanting his lyrics back.

by Lisa Johnson Imprint staff A generous helping of equal parts Sheryl Crow and Meredith Brooks. A little Chantal Kreviazuk thrown in for good measure. A sprinkling of a Gwen Stefaniized Patti Smith and just a smidge of Alanis Morissette. Stir over a low heat and you have Kacy Crowley. Artists hate it and readers fmd it redundant, if not pointless. Yet the only way to effectively convey the essence of an unknown musician is to compare her to others. Kacy Crowley is an artist who is not by any means groundbreaking, but not entirely unremarkable either. There are a few strong cuts on this debut album, including her current single “Hand to Mouthville,” which is also featured on the Women and Songs compilation. But by far the most dazzling song is “Vertigo” - this one has the potential to be a huge single for Crowley. Unfortunately, though, the rest ofAncAo&ss is just average. This is not a word record executives like to hear. Some lyrics are insightful, and many are humourous. Some riffs are original, and the vocals do stand out on most tracks, (for a little of the “Gwen Stafani-ized Patti Smith,” just check out “Rebellious” and compare it to the latter’s vocal style on ‘Gloria” - you’ll see the implication). As far as debut albums go, this one is well done. It does entice the listener to stick around for a sophomore effort. There is a well of talent here, mostly untapped. Kacy Crowley does have the potential to form a nice, solid following. There won’t be any Grammy nominations knocking at her door in the near future, however. All in all, it’s. a good listen. But it won’t make or break your CD collection.
