Clubs compromise and co-operate A

n air of co-operation and compromise reigned at the econd of the informal clubs meetings, in which club rep‘esentatives met to express conterns about the new clubs policy. geld on September 27, this was he second of two meetings in which club representatives met to ;et up steps for future action.

The new club policy, passed >y Students’ Council on August 9, s said to contain restrictive and rague clauses that undermine the :Iubs’ independence and freedom o access their own money. Led by he Club that Really Likes Anime CTRL-A) and the Singapore bialaysian Students Association SMSA), club representatives have >een meeting and discussing the lew clauses with an eye to having t rescinded, or at least substanially altered.

Each club represented at the neeting was given an opportunity o present their own club’s views In the policy. Small clubs such as

Freethought, which have only a small amount of money as it stands, expressed little concern with respect to the generally contentious financial changes, but did explain that the policy creates unnecessary red tape. Circle K echoed thisconcern.

The Chinese Christian Fellow‘ship, Konnichiwa Japanand WatSFic had issues with the lack of clarity expressed in the wording of the financial clauses.

Other clubs such as the Jewish Students Association and the SMSA questioned the trustworthinessof the Federation of Studentsaccounting system. They wondered how the Feds could assure clubs that they were sufficiently fiscally responsible to do a good job at monitoring the f’inances of a large number of clu bs.

The issue of trust has come up repeatedly during the discussions over the new policy. John Chen, a representative for CTRL-A, argues that the way the Feds have gone about pushing this policy through shows that they may not deserve to be trusted.

In spite of this, students and club members have been approaching Shelley Flynn, Vice President, Internal, with their concerns, with varying degrees of success.

Most successful has been Neil Fortier, a representative from Infinite Circle, who approached Flynn with hisconcerns as an active club member. Fortier attended the second of the club meetings, after having spent several hours with Flynn discussing possibilities for change that would satisfy the needs of the clubs.

Fortier told club representatives that the stipulation that all clubs maintain their accounts with the Federation of Students is still non-negotiable, but that Flynn is willing to entertain the possibilityofclarifications and modifications with respect to other areas of contention.

Chen thanked the effort of Fortier, noting that initially clubs were “told that the changes were non-negotiable, but that now a change of heart has occurred.”

He did note, however, that the new policy should not be decided on a one-on-one basis with individual clubs, but rather should be binding on all clubs.Indeed, Flynn admits that the policy was passed byStudents’Counci1 without having been “wordsmithed” by the Policy, Procedure and Bylaw Committee (PPB).

When asked why the policy was passed into effect without beinginits final form, Flynn explains that it was primarily “because the committee was offduring the summer.” She continues, noting that even so, the PPB cannot change “the spirit of the document, they can oniy clarify definitions and vagueries.”

The meeting ended in a spirit of compromise, as clubs generally agreed that since the policy had come into effect already, and so ratherthan fight it, they would prefer to work with the Feds to ensure first, that the final version of the policy is acceptable, and second that future changes to clubs policy is discussed in an open forum before being passed into law.

Parlez-vous inequity?

W

e have before us yet another example of our duplicitous, manipulaive “democracy,” trampling all rver the theoretical equality of Canadians, this time in Quebec.

From linguistic and territorial lisputes tocultural revolts, lubelle br&nceis in a state of constant and raried political unrest. The overvhelming anti-Canadian sentinent of the Quebecois overeignists has reached the edu+ational ranks: students at McGill Jniversity in Montreal have fought rlatant discrimination since the ‘rovincial Government of Quelet implemented differential tuiion fees in the spring of 1997.

Differential tuition was aprlied at Quebec post-secondary nstitutions beginning last Septemler, on the basis that out-of-prov-

E

E s 2 5 ‘E: 9 3 2 2e

ince students are transitory, do not make long-term contri butions to provincial development and should bear their own financial burden. Denis Gravel, in the documentation department of the Quebec Ministry of Education, attributes the differential tuition to widespread abuse of the system, the prevention of which prevails over the preserva, “;.~./. tion of democratic ideals.

“Canada isonecountry, but there are barriers between the provinces.”

Approximately thirty per cent of McGill’s thirty thousand students come from provinces outside Quebec.

Acceptable documentation to demonstrate resident status include a Quebec birth or baptismal certificate, or a

Canadian passport indicating Quebet as the place of birth. Undergraduate Quebec residents pay $55.61 per credit, or $1668.30 per year, while non-residents pay $105.61 or $3168.30 respectively.

Graduate tuition is fifty percent

higher for non-residents as well.

Some incidental fees are also affected by the decision: in the Faculty of Dentistry, for example, a deposit of $50 is required of Quebec residents, while outsiders pay $1000. International student fees are even higher, as at all Canadian universities.

Last March, the Students’Society of McGill University unsuccessfully sued the government of Quebec, asking to repeal the differential tuition law. The SSMU, led by VP External Affairs Jeff Feiner, have taken the case to the Quebec Court of Appeal, fighting to restore “the mobility of Jout-of-province] students; we don’t want to see students discriminated against based on their country of origin.”

Feiner points out that a decision in the students’ favour would be nationally beneficial.

The government of British Columbia is currently contemplating similar out-of-province tuition legislation.

For Paul Ruel, the third year McGill student who was the named plaintiff in the original suit, differ-

ential tuition is not merely a political matter, but one of national identity. “As out-of-province students, we are treated like some sort of irritant to the ‘national question’.

We are treated like foreigners in our own country.”

As Canadians, regardless of their province of origin, students are constitutionally entitled to equality.

Ironically, the SSMU’s lawyer, Guy Bertrand, is a recent convert to the federalist cause.

Formerly a vehement separatist, Bertrand acted as intervener at this August’s Supreme Court of Canada Reference on the Secession of Quebec and is now apparently on the side of justice and equality.

Bertrand could not be reached for comment.

Until the outcome of the appeal is known, in the interest of accuracy, it may be wise to revise our anthem: “True patriot love, in someof our sons command.. .”

T

heweekofOctoberlZ-16 has been officially designated as “education promotion week.” Ever since provincial governments decided to deregulate user fees, the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) decided to take action. These policies tend to emphasize privatizationandmeanthatonlythewealthy will be able to afford undergraduate and graduate studies in areas such as medicine and law. The CFS’s organizing manual maintains the view that quality education is quickly becoming obsolete by new levels of deregulation and corporate control“so much so that it is now a myth that there exists in Canada a universal, pubiicly funded, and accessible postsecondary education system,” During the Pan-Canadian week of action, all members are encouraged toorganize activities on their campuses and in their communities. On October 16, touted as the Day of Action, CFS will submit a list of campaign demands to the federal government.

Unless these demands are met, student strike action will be organized for February 1999.

Waterloo’s role in this week of action will include a rally on Friday October 16, 1998.

Several schools have pooled their re-

sources together in order to promote this message. This day of action will include a silent “funeral procession” emphasizing the ‘death’ of education.

The goal of this march is to attempt to resurrect the feeling that affordable, quality education still exists. The procession will be a march from the Laurier to the UWcampus.

At the end of the march, a rally will be held, likely outside of Burt Matthews Hall. At this rally, speakers willcomment on issues such as

present a united front: “If we have people who are committed to the cause, we will have safety.”

The protest group wasconcerned about placing restrictions on free speech and on the availability of rally literature. Another issue brought up during the organizational meeting was SUPA’s desire to place blame for education cuts directly on the government while Stewartwas interested in focusing on the governmental policies.

Taking back the night

T

he women of KitchenerWaterloo gathered together in solidarity last Saturday night to display their strength and peace. AgroupofZOO women marched through Victoria Park and downtown Kitchener as part of the Take Back the Night 1998 event.

They marched *‘as a symbol of our basic human right to walk where we want and when we want alone women or with another without theprotection of men.”

The mission statement of Take Back the Night states that it is “a community-based feminist group of women that exists because we live in a patriarchal society where, because we are women, we are raped, beaten, devalued, degraded, mutilated and murdered. We condemn, and work to eliminate, all forms of violence and aggression against women in the streets, in our homes and in our community?

The women began their march at theclocktower invictoria park and proceeded in a circular route through downtown for one hour. Shouts of “Women unite, take back the night!” and enthusiastic drumming from the marchers brought traffic on King Street to a temporary standstill.

After the march, Marie Cumming-Steel held acandlelight ceremony (with some difficulty since the candles could not withstand the strong wind blowing through the park) as the marchers stood in a circle. Sharing the flame symbolized the unity and the solidarityof thegroup, said CummingSteel. After the march the women proceeded to Kitchener City Hall for refreshmerits.

funding and debt. At present, the previously mentioned universities have been able to pool about 250 students for this event, At the organizational meeting for this event, it was evident that there was tension between the Feds and SUPA. Robin Stewart, Vice President, Education, was concerned about the safetyofstudents at this protest and wanted to have safety marshals present at the march and rally. SUPA organizer, Davon Charney didn’t believe that the Feds could control people’s actions and said that students would

demands that Board of Governor reps who are not students, staff, or faculty, be selected from a broad spectrum of the community, and not just the corporate community.

SUPAwants a tuition freeze, more student power in decision-making, studentgrants (not loans), and a stop to deregulation of tuition. There is no doubt that the organization of this rally has sparked a spirit that, if carried through into the rally itself, will result in it being a definite success.

long tradition of high school students waiting until June to find out whether or not their chosen universities will accept them is over.

In most cases, students will receive notice ofadmissions by the end of March and they will not have until June 1 to decide on a university.

This was a decision made by a task force of Ontario universities in conjunction with secondary school counsellors and teachers.

Some universities however, have decided to send out the majority of their acceptances at a later time.

According to Peter Boroughs, Director of Admissions at the University of Waterloo, “It is important to take into consideration as much information as possible. . .to know for sure that the

the women at City Hall after the candlehght ceremony.

“Men were not

eluded,” said Heather Calder, an.organizer of the event. “The march was a statement about our human rights.” The whole point of the march was to give women the power, ifforonlyone night, towalk without a male companion.

The idea of holding a march of women in solidarity originated in San Francisco by a woman workingwith prostitutes in the red light district.

The march has been held in the K-W area since the early 198Qs. In past years the march has been held at Waterloo Park, but this year was moved to Victoria Park. Turnout was slightly down this year, said Calder, but on the whole she was pleased with the turnout for the march.

With this in mind, the University of Waterloo will hold off acceptances until the middle of May so that other variables such as the Descartes math scores and admission information can also be exam-

ined. A limited number will receive offers of admission in March but this would only be in the case of exceptional students, The main reason universities would send out their admissions early would be to increase enrollment but, according to Robin Stewart,Vice President, Education for the Federation of Students, “Waterloo is not concerned with beefingupenrollment because we already get the finest students from across the country.”

“It’s unfortunate that high school students are likely going to be confused by getting some acceptances in March and some in May but if Admissions fee1s it needs to wait to keep a higher quality of students, then the Federationof Students supports them because this is important.”

Ryerson University and other universities that require interviews and auditions for certain programs will also hold offacceptances until May. Universities such as Guelph, who intend to send out offers in March, will also look at Grade 11 and 12 marks to evaluate the students.

Internal commissioner removed

by Pattl Lenard k!mpnhtsiiif

T

he position of Internal Commissioner, responsible for societies, is vacant following Milton Chan’s removal lastweek. Chan, who held the position for the past several terms, has been removed for slandering Shelley Flynn, Vice President, Internal.

Flynn explains that she has been approached numerous times with reports of Chan’s derogatory statements. Thiscaused problems in their working relationship, because Chan was responsible for reporting directly to Flynn. Flynn admits that she was uncomfortable about “workingwith someone who was constantly talking behind my back, and doing things but not telling me about them.”

Differences first appeared during the summer when Flynn began to work towards creating a new clubs policy. Chan explains “I started to feel uncomfortable when she was drafting the new policy and excluded me. She told mc I had too many conflicting ties.”

Flynn agrees, saying that in some sense, conflicts of interest began to arise as Chan tried to juggle his portfolio.

She says that “Milton wears a lot of hats, and he misused information that he received from his role as Internal Liaison and Internal Commissioner, and distributed it inappropriately to the clubs.”

Chan refutes this, saying “as a member of the Student’s Council, I am responsible to students.

I wasn’t told that the information was confidential.

I assumed that students could have access to that information through me.”

In spite of this, the result of this seeming conflict was a partial rem&al of Chan’s responsibilities as Internal Commissioner-Ghan would no longer responsible for clubs. Both Chanand Flynnagreed that this was an appropriate solution.

And so, following the removal of clubs from his portfolio, Chan argues that “I no longer had an obligation to defend her with respect to the clubs policy.”

In the wakeofthecontroversy over the clubs policy, however, Chan was removed entirely from his position of Internal Commissioner. The issueofwhether Flynn has actually been slandered is a touchy one, however.

Flynn explains that Chan’s ‘ISeeming support of the possibility of my being impeached because of the clubs’ policy shows that he’s just not working wi th me.

He’s been trying to undermine my credibility.

So, how could we possibly have a positive workingrelationship? Where is the trust factor?”

Chan admits that he has “accused her of trying to hide information from the students to pass the policy, and I’ve said publicly that the process she used was highly inappropriate.

But she’s accused me of slander and I highly doubt

relationship was more personal. I could tell him anything.

And with Shelley, I have a strictly working relationship.

I take my job seriouslyand I don’t think that I would let that interfere.”

But he hesitates when asked if he feels he was fired on per-

Chan has been accused of resenting Flynn from the outset, because of being a close friend of the previous VPI. He says %ufe, our

anyway. ” Flynn explains, however, that she is disappointed with how this turned out in the end. She acknowledges that Ghan “really does feel for his many different jobs and works really hard at them.”

Drinking with BACCHUS

by Pattl

Lenad

/mpnintSt~

N

ext week is Alcohol Awareness Week. From October 6 to 8, there will be displays in the Student Life Centre where students can get information about the effects of alcohol. Representatives from Counselling Services, Health Services, and Guided Self-Change will be on hand to answer questions.

BACCHUS, UW’s own alcohol awareness group, under the lead of Kristy Fisher, is organizing the event at UW. Fisher explains that “BACCHUS is about responsible drinking, not about non-drinking.

We’re about how to go out and

drink and have a good time, without getting falling-down drunk.”

Fisher continues, explaining that “BACCHUS has been inactive for a while, and we’re trying to change this. We’re hoping to have information sessions in the residences,” “We’re also planning a wine and cheese event for later in the term, to get away from the repu tation that BACCHUS has for being against drinking.”

BACCHUS will be recruiting volunteers at the information sessions next week. If you are interested in volunteering for BACCHUS or are interested in acquiring more information, contact Kristy Fisher at extension 5349.

Walking for AIDS

and

n Sunday, September 27, Victoria Park in Kitchener came alive with music, food, people, dogs and local highschool mascots.

The sixth Annual KW AIDS Walk took place to raise money for local people with HIV/AIDS in need of financial assistance.

UW students and Fed executives were on hand as well, offering support to the cause. Meredith Owen, Vice Predisent, Student Issues, explained that “AIDS awarness is an important issue, and students need to be involved with events like this. At UW, we’re having our own AIDS awarness week later in the term.”

Over 400 people participated in this year’s walk, about the same as 1996, but less than last year’s turnout.

Deanne Bartram, Coordinatorofthe walk, said that last year’s large turnout was due to the death of Princess Diana, whose work with AIDS victims pu blicized the need for more awareness.

Walkers were met by music provided by Meiv Keyes of Magic Tunes and food from Pizza Pizza and Schneider’s.

Massages were available for anyone who wanted one from registered massage therapists Bev Brown, Chris Edgar, Ken Roche, and Bonny Snyder, who were only too happy to support a worthy cause. For more information, contact ACCKWA (AIDS Committee of Cambridge Kitchener Waterloo & Area) at (519) 570-3687.

would like to notify the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies that they are currently missing a prime opportunity to study the phenomenon of conflict escalation - to witness a small issue spiral down into a major crisis. I refer to the fight now taking place between the Federation of Students executive and a group of Fed-sponsored clubs over the new Federation Clubs Policy. To misquote Churchill, “Never in the history of human endeavour have so many made so much fuss over so little.”

It all began this past Spring Term.

Problems had been discovered by the Feds in the financial dealings of some UW clubs (although the details of these problems have not been released).

In response, the Feds moved to update their clubs policy. The new version put tighter financial control in the hands of Feds.

Unfortunately, VP Internal Shelley Flynn, the Fed exec responsible for clubs, did not consult with the clubs when devising the new policy. It was a mistake, and certainly gave the clubs grounds for some complaint.

The clubs went a little beyond “some complaint.”

At the first Student Council meeting of the term, the head of The Club That Really Likes Anime [CTRL-A)unleashedatiradeontheFeds.

His motion to delay implementation of the policy, pending further consultation, was defeated, A collection of the most offended clubs met shortly thereafter. At that meeting, it was proposed that, should the Feds not back down, the clubs would begin a petition to hold a recall referendum essentially to impeach Shelley Flynn.

Besides the fact that even suggesting the idea was an amazingly silly overreaction, the clubs are locked in an obsession with Flynn. She is, in their minds, the lone gunwoman behind this perceived attack on democracy.

They conveniently ignore the fact that the policy was approved by Student Council as a whole, with only a couple of dissenting votes.

Flynn, foi her part, has pushed the crisis closer to the brink with a series of politcally tactless statements.

Her worst move, however, was to dismiss Internal Commisioner Milton Chan for allegedly slandering her. It was a poorly-timed lnd poorly-worded - move which only qgqavated matters.

On the other side, Chan has overreacted and elevated the issue into a personal vendetta against Flynn. It’s a child,sh attitude which can only prolong the crisis.

While the Feds have not acted par:icularly brightly, most of my darts have :o go to the clubs. They are acting like a Tack of spoiled children, high on their lwn righteous indignation and spoiling For a fight. Both sides need a good slap to >ut things back into perspective.

To the Editor,

Everybody wants a slice, including Gino

T

oday a friend and I walked into our favourite food stop, Gino’s Pizza, for a slice and a pop. For as long as we can remember, a slice and pop has cost $2.50, tax included. We were extremely disturbed to learn that Gino has raised the price to three bloody dollars.

How can he justify this? Where is the humanity? I have blindly accepted tuition hikes and rent increases with a grain of salt, but I just can’t swallow this (pun intended). Gino, you have hit us where it hurts the most: our starving stomachs.

Last year, the Gino’s Pizza frequent customer card was taken away from us because somebody supposedly stole the stamp. Yet no attempt was ever put forth to get a new stamp.

And now you have slapped us in the face with a fifty cent increase. I could modestly accept a twenty-five cent increase, but fifty is like kicking a person in the ribs when they’re down.

We’re starving students who depend on affordable pizza. I’d like to know what changes you’ve made to serve the students. The fact that you now accept Watcard does not justif’y your right to charge more. I

‘m new on campus, so maybe my Frosh leader forgot to tell me or something, but I’m glad that the Imprint’s been setting me straight. After all, if it wasn’t for your fine paper I would still have no idea that the Engineering faculty is just that much better and superior to the rest of us lowly students at UW. Had I not read the grammatically creative letters submitted about Kieran Green’s blasphemous column two weeks ago, I would still labour under the misapprehension that Engineers are normal run-of-themill students, rather than the elite group of super-intelligent future leaders that they are. Do not mock the Engineers and their phantasmic oracle, the Tool; rather, realize that the Tool is what grants the Engineering Society their godly status among mortal peons and Artsies. I propose that, from here on, no Arts student is allowed to gaze upon the countenance of the ‘Tool under threat of death by catapult. Furthermore, any Arts student who gazes upon the black hood of the Tool bearers should genuflect and spend a day in that position, fasting and offering their hunger unto the Tool.

Bow to your masters, fellow Artsies!

kay, so I’ve got the Internet, the Email, the news server, the Direct TV digital satellite with 500 channels, the laserdisc player, the DVD player, the VCR, the big-screen TV with a picture within a picture, the radio hooked up to the satellite, the CDs, the rapes, the speaker phone, the beeper, the videocamera hookup to thecomputerand the Internet, and the fax machine. With all that, not only do I have no money for food or clothes, but I never have to leave my house again. I can talk to the world! !

Does anyone else see that we are in the middle of an information age, where we need never not know anything, and we can talk to anyone, yet we are becoming far more distant from each other as a race? Seems that with the phone, email, Internet, chat lines and fax machines, why bother leaving? Why bother talking to someone face-to-face, when I can imagine the face, and stay in my boxers E-mailing them?

Is this a good thing? Many think not.

Personal “bubbles” that many make for themselves are growing larger, and physical contact, no matter how innocent, isavoided, thanks to charges of sexual assault and misconceptions.

No one will make eye contact on the bus, or in class, and yet online we can chat it up for three or four hours easily. Many people seem more comfortable not making anyphysicalormentalconnectionwithanyone in person, and would rather not have to deal with real flesh and blood. If they don’t like a person, they can slap on “Ignore” in

station

the options box. Why bother dealing with the real world when you can bank over the phone?

‘Course, maybe ic isn’t all bad. With people never leaving their homes or even their beds, no one can get up to fight, or have sex, or transmit diseases through contact, or even have to bathe. War, poverty, viruses, and the population explosion all in one fell swoop. Not bad at all.

This leaves me to wonder what is to come. If the next modern inventions further promote communication without actual intimacy, then maybe there will be no more war, or disease, or anything like that.

No, there will always be war, sex, drugs, and food. Well, with the population soaring, maybe not food, but the other stuff, yes.

Why? Because as humans, we need stimulation, we crave all of the above. Without human contact, we go insane.

We need stimulation, and humancontact, in whatever form, is a drug to humans.

Nothing digital will do for us.

Men alone will search out female companionship, because we are pigs, and are far toolustful to keep just pictures and cybersex.

Females will search for an actual face, for emotional contact in an intimate setting that can’t be created on the Internet. And they’ll look for sexual satisfaction too. Come on, admit it, ladies.

So, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about just yet. And until theday that a handshake. is feared like the plague, I say

Environmental racism

W

‘arren County, North Carolina 1982. This rural, poor and mostly African-American county was selected for a PCB landfill not because it was an environmentally sound choice, but because it seemed powerless to resist. During the subsequent protests and demonstrations against the landfill, the term “environmental racism” was coined.

Environmental racism is racial discrimination in environmental policy-making.

It is racial discrimination in the enforcement of regulations and laws. It is racial discrimination in the deliberate targetingofcommunities of colour for toxic waste disposal and the citing of polluting industries.

Environmental injustices are being searched out, exposed and acted on by academicians and activists from around the world.

The atrocious environmental policies of multinational corporations in the Third World are well documented.

Toxic wastes, banned pesticides, “recycled” batteries, and scrap metals are routinely shipped to underdeveloped nations.

International trade agreements like NAFTAreveal an abysmal environmental record as evidenced in the Maquiladoras industrial strip at the U.S.Mexican border. International waste and pollution practices of these corporations merely reflect their home-grown domestic policy of targeting low-income, disenfranchised communities of colour.

Within the past decade, large infrastructure projects have displaced an estimated 80 to 90 million people globally.

Weneednotlookfarinourowncommunities to witness environmental racism in action. Walpole Island, a reserve near Samia

(commonly known as Chemical Valley) is downstream from the ICI chemicals plant.

This year the company began the process of dumping 750 million gallons of pond water in the St. Clair River. This dumping process is over and above the daily permissible toxic discharges from 28 industrial facilities in Sarnia. The plastics recycling facility located in a working class neighbourhood in Hamilton north burned for four days last July. The toxic smoke caused the evacuation of over 600 residents and water in the nearby streams and Hamilton Harbour was also contaminated.

When sites for low-income housing are selected check out the location and ask, is this environmental racism? You maydiscoverforyourselfthe links that exist between environmental degradation, poor socio-economic status, social injus Eice, race and education.

Chronic unemployment, poverty, and the lack of a sound economic infrastructure all place communities of colour at risk from polluting industries.

Petrochemical colonialism mirrors the system of domination of former plantation owners, Now the petrochemical executive is the new “master” and “overseer.”

Environmental racism is obvious where oil exploitation has devastated the environments of several indigenous groups in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Xavier Grijalva, spokesperson for the Organization of Indigenas People of Pastaza, Ecuador, wil1 be here Thursday, October 8, with a multimedia presentation on oil exploration and the peoples of the Amazon. Join us for an eveningwithxavierat 7 p.m. in the WPIRG Resource Library.

Brain-stainedpews rI\here’s

an old saying that Christians leave their brains at the back doors of the church. That is often true. I, being a Christian, will freely admit it. When I first decided to follow Jesus, I did so with brainless enthusiasm, frantically cutting apart anything that was even remotely opposed to Christianity.

However, upon a few years experience along with reality hitting me like a ton of bricks, I changed my ways.

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has in tended us to forgo their use” - &Mm Gui&i. I agree wholeheartedly with this statement.

God has given human beings intelligence, so why would He be opposed to us using it? I think one of the biggest causes of atheism in the world is Christians. One of the reasons is because ofour reputation for mindlessness. It: t>others me, as a Christian, co see other Christians refusing to face an issue because it threatens their beliefs. Any faith that is afraid of being threatened is weak.

True faith is strengthened in the face of adversity. A few questions or doubts will not kill it. But that is only one side of the coin.

Flip it arbund, and you find yourself with a

bunch of intellects claiming that matters o the soul are “illogical” when they have never even experienced them.

Many of you are critics who grew up in a church, or had some experience with Christianity that turned you off from it. Brendan Behan says, “critics are like eunuchs in a . harem; they know how it’s done, they’ve seen it done every day, but they’re unable to do it themselves.”

The majority of Canadiansare familiar with Christianity.

Most of us have been tochurch; we know how it’s done, and we’ve seen it done every day. A friend of mine who is a mother has only one rule at the dinner table, “Don’t say you hate it until you try it.” Have you given Jesus Christ not the established church, not Christians, not religion - have you given Jesus Christ a chance? If so, and you hate him still-fine, at least you know who you’re rejecting.

But if not,

“That’s good,” he said. “Stick with that answer. How have they 3een treating you?”

As <em5 was doing the laundry, the eep that they used to take prison-

The jeepstopped and the secretary-treasurer got out. He was , shaved, with a nice Mexican style moustache, and walkingon hisown, looking well. The guard in charge of him walked through the gate, showed the sergeant a paper, and Rene’s name was called.

They told him to get all his stuff, even the wet stuff that he was washing, and get into the jeep.

Rent5 didn’t at first, but he was quickly reminded that it was the man who had visited him a month or so earlier. He told him that he was going to help, and that Rem5 might be able to go home tonight.

Rem5 was told to talk abou t his trip to West Germany in 1472. He was invited by their government to talk about the special co-operative housing program of which he

From under his blindfold, Ren6 could see four pairs of shoes.

He instinctively put his hands behind his chair, legs apart, like he had been used to in the past. He remembered how they tied you that way and made you take your shoes off and put your feet on the cold steel floor, in an inch of water to make the 220 volt connection that made you jump like hell!

They asked him why he was sitting like that. He told them that it was because he knew what he was there for.

“And what is that?” they asked.

“To give you answers to questions that you might ask.”

They asked him if he had ever seen a certain man, the president of the white collar workers union, with a gun. Rene described him as smaller than he was, with little glasses, very smart. Atypical studious looking man. He was one of the fourteen most wanted by the new Chilean government.

Of course Rem5 knew him; theywere together at many union meetings.

So he offered himself to his torturers again, but they said, no, no, you don’t have to.

In a few more minutes, the jeep stopped at the Academy of War. Rem5 was greeted there with the jeers of guards calling for him to be their next victim. But someone else came and said, “Is this the prisoner, Ren6 Crespo?”

“Yes.” “Okay, I’ll take it from here.”

They walked up stairs, and through many doors. It was a scare tactic, to confuse the prisoners, and make them uneasy. Then he was forced to wait in a room from which he could hear the screams of others being questioned in nearby rooms.

“Fine, fine, but now tell us the real thing.”

“And what is that?” Rem? asked.

“Where are the weapons?”

“Come on,” he said, “we never had no weapons!”

“But you’ve never seen that man with any weapons, even a small shotgun?”

“No.” “Was he violent?”

According to the man who saved him, Rend was already sentenced to five years of hard labour inaconcentration camp in the north ofChile. But he burned his file, and that day, the interrogators could not find it.

That night they finally sent him home. It was an ordeal just to get out. He had to wait to get his picture taken, and it was close to curfew. Finally it was taken, and he was let go. He had to take one of those mountain elevators to get down to take the bus. He had no money, only his blankets and clothes. And he was lost.

A lady walking by called his name. She knew him because her son was in the same camp as he was.

He had been beaten up the day before Rene left, But he told her that he was well, and that he would probably be home soon because

He sat in the back, with some feeling of shame. Some people looked at him with sympathy, others regarded him with fear. They didn’t want tooget to close for fear they would get into trouble.

On the bus he met another friend who was kind enough to pay for his taxi ride home. When he got there, his twin daughters no longer recognized his bearded face. But his wife knew him, of course.

Rem5 didn’t sleep that night.

He could only wander around his house and watch his children sleep.

Then, he sat in his backyard and enjoyed every single second of his much-earned freedom.

One good turn.

Seek refuge iti the cool space between the wall and your bed.

Stay there until somebody actually notices you are missing. And then when they ask ifyou are undti the bed, say no.

n this cruel and abusive world, a simple act of kindness can some!imes have the biggest impact. It doesn’t happen often but this week, it happened to me, A few days back, I was working the close shift on Drive-Thru.

It was a nightmare before I even punched in. Nothing was cleaned, we were an employee short, and I was already disgruntled because, hey, I work in a fast food restaurant (not that there’s anything wrong with that). All I wanted to do was go home to my comfy bed but instead, I was at work, surrounded by beef by-products and cold fries. In short, I wasn’t my usual do-anything-to-please self.

Where does this enlightenment fit in, you ask? Well, let me explain something first: the transferrence of negative energy.

Its forces exude when you are in the ultimate mood and one person, it only takes one, comes across your path to spew their negative energy on you. Come on, you know what I’m talking about.

You’re happily singing along with the radio in your car when some

prick abruptly cuts you off. You immediately flip the bird and begin to utter idle threats under your breath. Your whole disposition has done a 360. Unfortunately, this anger is taken out on the next person who crosses your path who, in turn, transfers the energy on to the next person thg meet, and soon. A powerful and vicious cycle.

Trapped in my frustration, I figured I’d probably be the “designated driver” who’d start the negative cycle for the night as customers arrived. Instead, I got a wonderful surprise.

As usual, I took the order and greeted the customer, As the woman handed me hercash, I took note that it was a $10 bill for two reasons. One: many people try to pull off an oh-so-clever scam of giving me a ten and insisting it was a twenty, therefore profiting and leaving my manager to assume that I scoffed the ten bucks myself.

a ten and explained why. As I handed her the food, she handed me a paper. On it, I found a name, Shirley Degraaf, and a number. If my till was five dollars short, she worried the imbalance may get me in trouble. She insisted I phone her if it was short. A customer concerned about an employee?

That Bmmhappens!

This simple act made me realize that transferring positive energy can be just as effective as transferring negative energy. My mood changed instantly. I was hap pier, friendlier, and more patient. I appreciated the fact that thereare still good people in this world. And, Icouldbeoneofthem!Thatnight, I spread my positive energy to each customer, hoping that they’d further expel the good vibes.

IMPRINT,

A

t thermprint meeting last week, I was challenged to find Canadian issues to fill this space until I get over to Northern Ireland. This week I’m going to do some thing remarkably Canadian. I am going to apologize.

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve written many articles. Within those articles, I’ve made a fewcrucial mistakes. For one thing, I was severely ridiculed for using the wrong form of the word “its” last week, Now I know thisisaconfusing issue, but as an English major, I should know the difference.

I made a foolish grammatical error, and I’m sorry. I tried to blame it on the proofreaders, but to no avail.

I was a little rushed in writing my column last week. Because of that, I didn’t have time to look it over. My lateness also created a great inconvenience for my editor, Lisa Johnson, who had to rearrange her whole section just for me. Lisa, I’m sorry I was late, it won’t happen again.

The next couple of mistakes are more public. I wrote an article reviewing the 54”40 concert at FED Hall during Frosh Week. In that article I praised the vocal talents of their guest Coca Love Alcorn, and claimed they were “limited only by the unfortunate FED Hall sound system.”

The sound system that night was not the FED system, but a special one brought in by request of the band.

The reason for this was that they had experienced difficulties with the in-house system in the past.

It should be noted, however, that the FED Hall sound system had been refurbished, and since I haven’t heard it, I can’t really comment on it. To Fraser and the other people at FED Hall, I’m sorry.

There was yet another mistake in that column.

For some reason I called Spirit of the West an eastern band. The obvious connotations of their name aside, I decided that they were from the east. Maybe because of their sound, or because I’d heard that from various uncertain, and obviously incorrect, sources.

Sorry to the band and anyone else who noticed. Doh! One thing1 will not apologize for though, is my blatant plugs of

A

s you know, one of my responsibilities as VPSI is to facilitate many of the FED’s services.The most frequently asked question is “what does the Womyn’s Centre do?”

The Womyn’s Centre is located at SLC 2102 (take the stairs beside the entrance to the Bomber and it is the first room on the left).

Its duties and functions include providing a safe and supportive environment on campus for

women, informing the university community of various women’s issues with an aim to discourage discriminatory behaviour, and providing students with information concerning women’s issues.

There are many ways to help out the Womyn’s Centre including helping with office hours and with organizing such events as Movie Nights and Speakers. You could assist in the organization of the Memorial Ceremony on December 6 or help publish a collection of women’s writing and art.

And if you have any ideas of your own, the Womyn’s Centre is open

to and grateful for any new ideas.

Ifyou are interested involunteeringor have any questions’, you can con tact Christine at 888-0525 or ccheng@engmail, or you can email Disa at dalmeida@artsuZ. You can also leave a message at the Womyn’s Centre at 888-4567 ext 3457.

Beer is a time&honoured tradition in the Lett family.

A tradition which goes back hundreds of years and dozens of generations. Sure, the Lett family has produced way more than its share of statesmen, war heroes, businesstycoons, doctors, and men of the cloth. They’ odd poet and even a horse thief.

But the real pride of the Lett family has alwaysbeen its bretig tradition.

A tiadition typified by the legendary Irish Red created by the fsmily patriarch and master brewer George Henry Lett in the 1800s.

Consequently, it was with no small amount of famiIy pride that Patrick Lett decided to recreate this legendary brew in order to slake the family thirst and continue the family brewing tradition.

To duplicate this family masterpiece right here in Canada he commissioned the skilled craft brewers at the Trafdgar Brewing Company. The end result is Paddy’s Irish Red, considered by many to be the gold standard of beer. There are no colouring

agents

or artificial

additives. The extraordinav taste and unique amber colour is the

result of a special car&an malt roasted more slowly than ordinary malts.

So far, the popularity of Paddy’s Irish Red has been astounding.

And that, of course, is just within the family itself.

‘. Selling sex with Spermy-Guv

/mprlntsti# with AM& McCracken 5p&al tu Imprint

I

was sitting in English class the other day, and we were having a discussion of symbolism in the world. Someone put up her hand and commented on how that little Durex Sheik sperm cartoon character is a symbol because when we see it, we think ofcondoms.

Inevitably, the argument arose: is advertising such as this glamourizing and promoting sex to youngsters?

I say youngsters with the utmost respect, referring to the demographic that most of these commercials are targeting.

It is common knowledge that they air on MuchMusic all the time. And in the age of Hanson, Spice Girls, and Backstreet Boys, thecoreaudienceofMuchMusic is between twelve and seventeen years old.

So I decided that this would be an interesting subject to pursue further on some level. I invited my room-mate to get into a gentle “t&e & tete” with me. I stuck a tape recorder between us and we just discussed for a while. What I offer you here is the inconclusive result of that conversation: Do you have a stance on this issue one way or the other?

Do you?

I don’t think I can say for sure right now, I’m kind of sitting on the fence. I mean, there are certainly points in favour of and

I would hate to say I disapprove of it and be viewed as a right-winging censorship fiend. But at the same time, I think it has some negative repercussions, especially on young kids.

Yeah, but what you just said is itself a strike against it. You may not realize it, but you just said “safe sex.” There truly is no such thing as safe sex. Safer sex, yes. But nothingis100percent,Andthefactthatyou, an intelligent university-aged person, does not know that is a prime example of how

Fair enough. Okay then, I guess that .brings us to the ultimate question. The Tshirt would be a promotion ofcondoms.

But are the condoms a promotion of promiscuous sex or of taking care of your personal well-being?

But the problem is, it’s not typically a conscious decision. We don’t decide how these commercials affect us, they just affect us submnsciously.

I don’t think a teenager is going to see this commercial and start contemplating his or her deep personal views on sex.

these marketing experts have misled the masses up to this point in time.

Hey, do you remember that episode of uBeverly Hills, 90210” when Donna was talkingaboutsafe sex? She used the analogyofa swimming pool. She said if you have a swimming pool and you are concemed about your young child going in it, you can tell him not to. And if he doesn’t listen, you can even go so far as to build a fence around the pool. But in the long run, ifyou don’t want your child to drown, you had better teach him how to swim.

The basis of Microsoft% power The number one software maker in the world does it all

by Simon

Woodslde

icrosoft dominates the computer industry. It has isen to power in a shorter time than vircuallyanyothercompany. Not only that, but they continue to hold onto that power even as their competitors rise and fall.

Othercompaniescome and go, Microsoft is a constant success.

What is the trick?

A big strategy Microsoft uses is to copy other companies’ good ideas shamelessly and indiscriminately. all started with MS-DOS. Bill Gates’ first product, was basically a copy ofCP/M, a Digital operating system. And the copy wasn’t even written by Billhe just bought it from Seattle Computer Products and licensed it right back to IBM, renamed MS-DOS. He continued to improve his operating system by copying various window managers, one of the

mainones beingtheMacOS. They were taken to court, but won the court case. This was rhe famous “look-and-feel” case that was in court for years. Apple eventually lost in April of 1992.

OS/Z was originally a joint project between Microsoft and IBM, and the two promised to release compatible operating systems. After building a few versions of OS/2 on IBM’s tab, though, Microsoft went off and built their own high-end operating system, called it Windows NT, and you know the rest.

Microsoft doesn’t seem eo have actually stolen code from Netscape, but they seem to have copied it in a hurry in 1994-1995.

MS released Internet Explorer in August 1995, soon after the release of Netscape’s product.

They may have copied code from Apple’s QuickTime video and media format. The spectacular purchase fast year of 150 mil-

but

It

ic

lion dollars in Apple stock by Microsoft may have been a settlement for suspected copyright infringements.

Microsoftreally wants to own the streaming video market. We’ll see what happens -QuickTime and RealNetworks are still going strong.

But, as you can tell, Microsoft is like a shark in the water what it can’t do itself, it gets by other means.

Anyone who has ever used Microsoft’s software has to give at least grudging respect, though. I L’s buggy, but so are ehti competition’s products.

On the other hand, Microsoft’s leading products are consistently innovate in their product areas. Take Word 97198 with its automatic correction, numbering, point-form-making, headings, and underlining of errors. Microsoft obviously hiredintelligent professional writers and paid them just to sit around and think.

Microsoft gains yet more

power by putting out the best deLzlopment systems available.

That is not to say the most advanced. Microsoft can never be accused of being ahead of its time.

That is, after all, often fatal - witness NeXT. But Microsoft keeps their tools right on the leading edge, adding headline-grabbing innovations without going too far into uncharted territory. Microsoft also owns the best IDE, which is Developer Studio.

And Visual Basic is a monster the largest object-based development system in existence.

Microsoft uses a subtIe technique to insert their products into the collective psyche. They name them in really obvious, generic ways. I refer you to Dilbert for why this works.

Microsoft’s office suite is called Office. Their windowing system is called Windows.

Their Internet browser is called Internet Explorer, Business managers love

buzzwords (how about “back office”) and Microsoft shovels them out by the forkload.

After all, it’s the managers that sign the purchase orders.

With the hearts of the developq-s come the souls of the users.

They just want the tools; they’ll use whatever the information technology department slaps down on their desk, no matter what company it comes from.

That, along wi th various other undisclosed actions (forwhich the company is now under investigati;on by the U.S. Anti-trust squad), is how you get the power to have ehe largest market cap of anycompanyin the U.S.A. Microsoft passed IBM as the number one software company this year.

The first method of keyboard control is called “arcade”, and it greatly simplifies your battles, Using the number keypad, all you havetodoishitanumber to execute a swing or block. The second method, called VSIM, is more difficult to learn but more effective in battle. VSIM is basically a physics swinging model that uses inertia in order to effect more realistic combat.

For instance, toexecutea mid-level slash, you would hold 6 and then hit 4.

The6drawsyourarmback,andthe 4 brings it sweeping across. It is the same for downward slashes and so forth. Using the mouse in VSIM mode is more difficult, but is similar to the keyboard VSIM. Other controls include climbing, jumping and ducking. With a combination of elements such as ducking and jumping, you can perform combat moves.

Warriors getting- hit hard Baseball team wins one out of four The Warrior pitching staff had their best day of the season, holding the Golden Hawk bats to six runs over two games. Ryan Hollett went the distance in the first game, allowing only one earned run and five hits over seven innings. The change of pace also helped Warriors’ veteran Aaron Chu, Chu, who normally plays catcher, made a rare left-field appearance.

Along the way, he went 3-for-4, smacked a double to lefr field and scored the team’s only run.

P

erhaps the change of pace was just what the Warriors needed, After a thunderstorm delayed the start of Sunday’s doubleheader to 5 p.m., the Warriors picked up the tempo and fmished two games in under four hours.

By 7:15 p.m., two hours and fifteen minutes in, the Warriors were on their way to victory in the second half of the doubleheader.

With the ballpark lights shining on the outfield, Matt Beelen shone on the mound. I-Ie picked up a complete-game victory, strikingout six Laurier batters and only allowing one walk. None of the three runs the Golden Hawks scored were earned. The victory was Beelen’s first of the year.

The Warriors got solid hitting once again from Mike Fuchs, who went Z-for-Z, scored twice, picked up two walks and stole a base. Designated Hitter Jeremy Service had a productive night, reaching base three times and knocking in one run. Veteran third baseman Chris Gibbons also picked up an RBI. Pat Turner also had a great night, both behind the plate and on the field. The shortstop went Z-for-4, including

a double to right, scored twice and stole a base. Turner made several nice grabs in the middle of the infield.

At Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, the story goes, the organ player used to open games with a rendition of “Three Blind Mice” when the officiating was particularly bad. The Bechtel Park press box staff has the idea filed away.

Despite excellent hitting by JeffMacDonald and Mike Fuchs, the Warriors lost a heartbreaker, leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh.

DH Matt Lindsay ended the inning on a controversial called third strike.

MacDonald, who went Z-for-3 in the first game, also scored, stole a base and picked up an RBI. Fuchs was also 2-for-3, scored twice and picked up two RBIs, drilling his third home run of the season over the centre-field fence.

In the second game, MacDonald did his best Sammy Sosa impersonation, smashingatwo-run shot over the right field wall. The homer was his second of the year. Rookie Keith St. John had a good day at the plate, going Z-for-3 and scoring twice. Aaron Chu reached base three times and scored a run.

The Wartiors seek revenge against the Brock Badgers on Saturday, October 3, at 1 p.m. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m., barring any inclement weather.

3-O Warriors prepare for Western after 54-3 victory over Yeomen

0

n Saturday afternoon the Waterloo Warriors football team traveled to York for their first real road game against the Yeomen, and faced a large and noisy homecoming crowd hungry for a win, However, the combination of the Warriors’ newfound passing game and their customary strong defence proved too much for the home squad as our boys quicklysilenced the crowd en route to a 54-3 victory.

Ryan Wilkinson had his best game as a Warrior as he amassed 320 yards whilecompleting 15 of 20 passes, four of which were touchdowns.

He also opened the scoringwith a one-yard touchdown run. This offence is quite a change from recent years whenthe Warriors relied on Jarrett Smith TO carry the ball and the team. Although Smith’s departure has not been forgotten, Wilkinson’s performance so far this year has provided theteam with a more diverse and exciting game plan. Of course, having targets like wide receivers &dy&!acGregor,Chris Krebich and Chris Amey to throw to

is a definite plus. MacGregor caught two touchdown passes among his eight receptions for 176 yards. Krebich also factored in wirh a 23-yard touchdown reception, and the Yeomen were often chasing Amey as he had three huge receptions for 89 yards and one touchdown.

Oh, but don’t you worry. The Warriors still exhibited a great running game, as the combination of Mike Bradley, Eddie Kim and Doug Haidner combined for 162 yards.

Bradley led the way with 80 yards, including a powerful 35 yard touchdown run whichdisplayed his ability to shift gears during his carries. Haidner again proved to be valuable in short yardage situations as he converted two out of the three successful third and short situations.

The offensive line should be given credit for providing great pass protection and allowing York little defensive penetration.

On the other hanb, the Warriors were chasing York quarterback Fabio Brusco over thefield as if rhey were those deranged females who pursue that longhaired freak of a modelofthe same name. 01’ Fabio might have done a better job on Saturday as Brusco washeld to 72 passing yards. His first pass of the game was deflected by Richard Hock. Chuck

ast year’s first place team from McMaster was stopped by the supposed underdogs from Waterloo who proved they should never be underestimated.

The women’s rugby team extended their record from one loss and one win to include a tie against McMaster on Saturday.

As with their two previous matches, the Warriors were forced to play an extremely defensive game. The women showed that, when push comes to shove, they can keep anyone out of their end zone - they just can’t keep them out of their end.

The Warriors experienced some trouble in their line-outs,

causing them to lose possession of the ball on numerous occasions.

Yet the forwards pushed on, with lock Loes Dewitt leading many of the drives. Jen Adams was in full formonce again at strum half, managing to make strong under-pressure passes and taking the ball herselfwhen necessary. Sarah Mee at a-woman also managed to plow through the McMaster defense, letting them know they’d have to take her head before she’d give up the ball. A strong tackling effort was put forth by all the Warriors, especially from veteran Ange Gardhouse.

When the Warrior backs did get the ball they were able to work out a great passing game with Annette Vieira and Kate Ballweg gaining substantial yardage on sin-

gle plays. Unfortunately, penalty after penalty forced the Warriors back into their own end. Heather Moyse still managed to score two trys to put the Warriors in the lead.

Hopeful for a win the Warriors faced fatigueand disappointment due to an unreasonable number of penalties in the second half, which allowed McMaster to score two trys oftheirown.

This left the final score at Waterloo 10, McMaster 10.

The Warriors hope to come back with a win this Saturday, October 3 at 400 p.m. against last year’s second place Guelph Gryphons. You can get in a full afternoon of great Rugby with the Warrior rugby men also taking on Guelph at 1:00 p.m. See you at Columbia Lake on Saturday.

n the second week of regular season play, the Warrior women were tied for sixth place with York in the National ranking.

This week the Warriors played some key games in anticipation of moving up in the

three games at Lamport Stadium inToronto.

In the first game against McGill, the Warriors played strong, scoring two goals in the first three minutes of play. The women kept attacking McGill’s defense and scored two more goals for a final score of 4-O. Joanne Fernandes scored two, Lucie Charron notched one, and Kate Mason got one as

scored during free play. On Sunday morning the Warriors played hard with great attacking and fast passing. These tactics proved to be the key to defeat Trent University. Fernandes scored two goals, with Moffett, Charron and Mason scoring one goal each. Trent scored one goal on a penalty stroke to bring the final score to S-1. ’ On

Julie has been around the alternative/pop/ rock genre for a while now. From the ashes of Eric’s Trip she has risen to build a successful musical career on her own, in addition to giving photo exhibitions and building an independent label. Her albums are defined by honest lyrics and beautiful vocals layered over straightforward acoustic guitar. Although Julie has been primarily a solo art----

ist, she has recently been touring with Sappy Records (the la be1 Julie runs with her artist husband John) artists the Wooden Stars.

Julie and her family have just relocated tp Montreal to allow Julie to tour in central Canada and to give John other opportunities to paint and have his work in galleries.

“We moved at the beginningofSeptember.

I love it, I’m so happy here - it’s probably going to change my songwriting a whole lot. I wrote a lot of songs within the last year even, and I think that they’re probably going to change.” She has plans to record a full album in the near future and then an E.P. ‘with the Wooden Stars, though final plans are still up in the air: “The big plan right now is recording in

January and releasing an album in April. And there are plans to release a 7” before then and an E.P. before April. It all depends . . . things could change right now. The things that could change are who it’s going to be with.”

With respect to her new album, Julie is pleased with the sounds of her new material, “the new songs are quite distinct from the older ones.

Having played with Wooden Stars made it that I actually wanted to know how to play guitar. Before it kinda was just accompaniment.

Within a couple of months I was doing all kinds of things, like finger picking . . . I guess the songs rely a lot more on the guitar. They’re a lot stronger than the ones on the other albums. I really like them and I’m glad I’ve written a lot.”

he Warehouse was slowly getting more and more crowded as we waited for Massive Attack to take the stage. The crowd was any demographer’s dream: underage kids, curious middle-agers and an &e&helming amount of ravers and people utilizing. the “nerdy-chic” style.

We were surprised to see how many people there were showing up for this particular concert, because we didn’t think Massive Attack would have that kind of draw.

Suddenly the lights went down and the mellow crowd waited in anticipation as the band made their way on stage, The first thing that

strikes you about seeing Mas-

sive Attack on stage is the sheer number of band members, nine in total.

The impression they give with this number is that they are a collective effort, not just a =frontman showcase.”

from Harm” and the infamous “Hymn of the Big Wheel.”

They incorporated singing and rhyming into “Eurochild” as well as a special part for Horace Andy.

Massive Attack never let the show get dull, though they consistently changed the style and pace of their songs.

They moved from a creepy sound to a trippy sound, then to the heavy guitar sounds of “Dissolved was reGirl.” ” Teardrop” ceived well by the crowd, due to the song’s serene femalevocals and building intensity.

Two encores were played, as the crowd would not stopscreamingfor more.

The highlight of the night, at least for us, was when we knocked on their tour bus door and they invited us in to chat and to get a poster signed.

used to manage Eric’s Trip a long time ago, and we started working together in late spring, and he has agreed to be the label manager.

We enjoy picking the bands, and John enjoys doing the artwork, but having to shmooze and that kind of stuff is really hard for us.”

Eric’s Trip was originally on Sub-Pop and when the band broke up julie (as Broken Girl) released an album through them. Julie was subsequently dropped from the

label, and has some less than flatteringthings tosayaboutthecompany. “That was pretty bad. In a way, it was just really silent. Icalled them for about five weeks, once a week, and finally I just said: is there anyone there I can talk to? Finally, the person I was trying to talk to came on and said ‘How’s it going, you’ve been dropped.’

They’re shitty, I’ll just say it.”

Julie’s live show is second to none in terms of rapport with the audience. Her honesty and apparent insecurity on stage charms everyone: “sometimes when I’m on stage I think why am I bothering? Like in the middle of the song I think this sounds horrible, but then later on I find out it’s somebody’s favourite one; then it’s like, maybe I should keep playing it. . . things like this go on in my head all throughout the show.”

tity problems, Elevator (I’11 stick with theoneconsistent part of rheir name) put on an excellent show at the Jane Bond daf6 Wednesday night. Jane Bond has become a semi-popular stop& point for East coast rockers; Julie Doiron was there a couple of months ago with Lonnie JamesoftheSuperfriendz, and will be playing there again tonight (Oct. 2). The bar’s intimate atmosphere and cozy surroundings always make for an excellentshowthis Elevator show was no exception.

Rick White and company added 3 new recruit for the night: Dallas Good of the Sadies was on hand to play rhythm (and occasionally lead) guitar.

Dallas’ presence was both a blessing and a curse throughout.

For example, on “The Pick-up” he rocked hard and left the audience gasping, wondering how Elevator ever managed with just one guitarist; however, on other songs (most notably

“Window”) Dallas just didn’t know the material well enough to play along - but that didn’t stop him from trying. “Just whatever we do, tell me what to play. . .”

Dallas was overheard saying to Rick in the early moments of the show.

Elevator played a long set, from abour l&30 p.m. to 1215, which allowed for the band to cover most of their newer E.P. The S& and a good portion of The really good news was that the band played a Purple Knight song featuring drummer Mark Gaudet on the mic. Rick also introduced four new songs from the band, which were incredibly diverse. The first track was total ’70s rock, the second was a really catchy melodic pop song, and the third and fourth were true, blue Elevator sound.

If you didn’t go, you missed out big-time. You’re lucky though, you’ve got a second chance to enjoy a great show in an intimate atmospheredon’t miss the Julie Doiron show Oct. 2, guaranteed it will be fantastic!

time of year has come again when students throughout the University of Waterloo show off their art, be it written or visual, to be compiled into one damn fine book. This book is known as tie Phoenix.

With works from every faculty on campus, yes even the engineers, the Phobx ensures a wide variety of perspectives and ideas.

Last year’s edition of&ePhwnixwas an unprecedented success, due to the transition to a fuli-color format. This has led to the expectation that even more people (especially those from outside the arts faculties) will submit their works.

James Downey (UW President) stated that this new edition was “a quantum leap ahead” and

Mike Downing, the editor in-chief, is planning to write and direct a film which will incorporate both visual and audio aspects into the book. A general search for composers and actors to participate in this film will begin once the script has been completed.

Ifyou would like to submit a piece of art, place your name, the title and location of the piece as wellasanumberwhereyoucanbe reached on a piece of paper and hand it in at the Feds office.

To submit writing, staple the piece to a paper stating the title, your name and a number where you can be reached.

was unanimously acclaimed as the best ever by the students.

It took months of strenuous work but finally the Phoenix was completed.

To celebrate and set off the book a show was held in the campus center. A gallery was held in the multipurpose room whileoutside artists were painting their current works.

To entertain all passers by, bands played and poets recited their poetry.

The Phoenix was handed out for a small donation to ROOF. T.e %mixgroup is hoping to outdo even last year’s great success. Acontes t will be held in East Campus Hall (the date and rules will be posted later) in order to choose -the front cover for this years book.

Stabbing Westward: Rocking Canada hard by janhe

speda/

T

Western

to /mpf..nt

he first big concert after Frosh Week rocked Ki tchener hard!

The bands: Econoline Crush, Stabbing Westward, and guests treble charger put on a show to be remembered. Line-ups to get into the allages show began forming around 530 p.m. - two and a half hours before the door opened. The first in line were primarily treble charger fans hoping co claim a spot up close. They had faith all along that treble charger would show, despite their canceled performance at the Sounds of Summer in Waterloo Park this summer.

The Sault Ste. Marie natives opened with “cleric’s hip” - the quick-paced tribute to Eric’s Trip that features ragingguimrsand driving drums, released on their album self=title. The crowd loved it.The audience fed off lead singer Greig Nori’s energy - he was clearly into the show.

The crowd was definitelyon a high as they anticipated Stabbing Westward. The band did not disappoint. Each band member took stage to the beat of the pounding rhythmsseton the keyboard. They certainly made their presence known with the strobe lights added in after treble charger (Sony personnel had apparently scrambled to find the lights earlier that day).

In a brief interview before the show the band shared some of their thoughts and interests with me.

Christopher Hall, one of the two founding members of this band from Chicago, dominated the interview.

Hall spoke of the difficulties they face touringincanada.

In the States as the headlining act, the band knew that the crowds were there to see them. Here, Hall suggested, they have to work to win their audience. They won big that night.

The band gave a stellar show with lighting effects not to be topped. Apparently the American show has ten times the visual effects and Hall was disappointed they couldn’t do the same here in Canada.

The band belted out the tunes like they had something to prove.

Despite microphone difficulties the band performed songs from the new album such as ‘&Darkest Me,” and the Days, ” “Haunting current hit single “Save Yourself.”

Inamongstthenewtheguysplayed “What Do I Have To Do?” from IK&$er %l&r B~tm and Peel This was the tune to remind the Cana-

newest release of three: Darkest Days. As the title suggests, this album features a compilation of songs about some very dark feelings.

When asked how the album came to be, the guys told me that it was very much a group effort, Walter Flakus, the co-founder of the band in 1985, described the process of creating their albums like the passing of a ball. He said it’s like you “Write as much as you can and whatever you’re lacking, you give the tape to someone else [in the band]” to add something more.

Stabbing Westward impressed me in a way that I didn’t think a band could: they are real people and talented musicians who are in the music business just for the love of it.

Another success from Western Canada, Econoline Crush has been opening for Stabbing Westward in the U.S. and are now headlining their own Canadian tour.

They performed with tremendous energy and managed to maintain enthusiasm in the tired crowd.

When they played “Sparkle and Shine” a sudden liveliness erupted

This was definitely a worthwhile show. Whether you are a treble charger, StabbingWestward or Econoline Crush fan it was the greatest bargain found outside of Value Village in a long time.

This newest release by Soul Asylum contains eleven songs, ten of which were written solely by their singer, Dave Pirner.

The remainder of the band is listed as Dan Murphy on guitar, and Karl Muellerwith the bass. This seems odd as the band is a four piece, thus leaving their drummer [Sterling Campbell] out of their bio.

The single off the CD, “I Will Still Be Laughing,” is described by the band as a “stubborndeclarationofindependence with slight sarcasm, that displays a continuing growth and evolution in lyrical and instrumental diversity” -all this and still catchy enough for radio play, wow.

As well-known bands are apt to do, their new disc took no risks at all. It has a few fast, a few slow, and a general feel of mellowness.

With the other two thirds of the Fugees, Wyclef and Pras, releasing successful albums and singles over the last year and a half, Hill wanted a piece of the pumpkin pie.

The first thing I’d like to tell everyone about is my undying loyalty to Mr. Rollins.

He is my spiritual leader. He is my idol. He is my sun, lighting up the darkness and leading me to thk promised land. Well, let’s not get toocrazy here. I think he is oneof the most interesting and intense men on the face of the planet, but I won’t kill for him or anything.

Well, not yet at any rate. But I digress.. .

This double CD offering is Henry’s first collaboration with Dreamworks, and he gives an amazing performance.

Basically, 2%~~ To& is all words, no music. This is Henry recorded on his latest spoken word tour, with one CD recorded at the House of Blues in Chicago (on his birthday this year) and the other in Australia in the fall of 1997.

These CDs are truly incredible.

I expect anything Rollins puts out to be funny, dark, twisted and plain brutal, and this is no exception.

He slams through all topics, like the idiots at the airport to reports to him coming out of the closet to how El Nino really should be called the motherfucker, all with the brand of humour and detail only Rollins can give.

Hedealsoutastoryaboutadyingfanhe visits,which isdealtwithbitsoflaughterand lots of seriousness.

Calm and confident one minute, angry and self-effacing the next,

Chicago recordings, and a slower, more serious tone through the Australian taping. It works beautifully, giving each CD its own flaGour and balance. And the message from Rollins in the liner notes give just enough of the business Rollins to make the album complete.

Overall, T/rink Ta& works amazingly, and is a very proper follow-up to the other spoken word double-album, T&&xe&$~.

Pick both up, and listen to them often.

Personally, I listen to both CDs once a day in the morning for a personal affrrmation. Now, please join me in silent prayer to the master.

byMadcBeu /mpr/ntd% At first glance, this album looked like either a hilariously funny band pretending to be the only Scottish punk band with a regular bagpipe player, or a hilariously funny band actually trying to be the only Scottish punk band with a regular bagpipe player. I had to pick this one up.

ARTS

2, 1998 Musically much of the disc is excellent; tracks like “Believer,” “Jewel bomb,” and “Goner With Souvenir” are wonderfully catchy tunes. Lyrically the songs do not particularly stand out; looking at the lyric sheet one gets the impression that Buckner has tried to compensate for this with the quirky layout (use of characters such as 31” forand, W” forat,etc.)

Inany case, this CD is worth a listen.

supposed to feel like you want to get up and jive.

However, the band adopts a jazzier sound in “Low Down Man,” and even sounds somewhat neareastern in “Ghost of Stephen Foster.” This is exciting in it’s own way-who knew thatswingcould be so many different things all lumped under the same title. Each song is unique. This is a refreshing change from the album that you buy after liking the first release, only to realize that every single track sounds the same.

The variety that this album presents is astounding.

While listening to P~?Yx&z/ Fizvdts, one is given the sense of being in a tiny,

smoky, basement bistro.

The music is alive. It doesn’t sound like it’s been fiddled with in a sound studio.

If this is the music you’ve been waiting for your entire life (like me), then you’ll be happy to know that Squirrel Nut Zippers are releasing a new al bum on October 6, called chn’stmas cu~uvan.

Remember as we11 that they have released in the past: Th&m&ub& Hot, and SoldOur. Like it says on the cover,Perennd’al Fuvon~es is “A Product of Good Quality”.

For those happy to ride the ever-expanding wave of swing, this album is a must-have.

Thanks to the recent interest in the swing genre, Squirrel Nut Zippers have been pushed to the forefront of the music world. Their third full-length album, Pmnr’al Kzv~~&s, debuted at number 18 on Billboard Charts its first weekof release, and has been certified Unfortunately the hopes I had for this band fell horribly short.

They were not heavy on the punk, or on the bagpipes. They weren’t funny (well, not incredi bly funny), and in fact, dull. Who would imagine a band with a piper playing punk could be boring? I never would have believed it until I listened to this album.

Playingsemi-punksongslike “Scats Wha’ Ha’e” and “Bastards” along with authentic Scottish folk songs like “Mainland” and “MacLeod,” this never hits any major marks to make it distinguishable from any other hard rock band.

Even with the bagpipes, The Real McKenzies never seem to make anything catchy or outrageous at all.

Don’t get me wrong. There are good songs here. However for all the life and character in their pictures, they seemed to have lost much of the life and excitement as they recorded the CD. The best song is a cover of Auld Lang Syne turned into a rock song, and even this falls short of becoming a truIy great rendering.

Overall, The Real McKenzies just don’t cut it. Now I have to wait for another punk band to encorporate bagpipes into their music. So close....

Gold.

Ifversatilityis thekeytogood music, then Squirrel Nut Zippers have it made. Songs like “Fat Cat Keeps Getting Fatter”, and “Suits are Picking Up the Bill” are what one would generally accept as swing. They’re up-beat, toe-tapping tunes. This is the whole reason for listening to swing-you’re
