This is the week to. . l

’ Let your light GLOW

by Pti

Lenud

fmpiifftstaff

hey used to say that men sweat and women glow, but next week shows that this old adage is no longer true. The Gays and Lesbians of Waterloo, more commonly known simply as GLOW, have designated October 19-23 as “ComingOut Week,” and will spend the weekshowingthat many menand women glow. Dan DesRosiers, ‘Coordinatorof GLOW, explains that theweek is, in fact, primarily about raising awareness and visibility qf GLOW on campus. “Most people, when they’re coming out, will go through a phase where they think they’re the only one. We want to raise our visibility enough so that people know that’s not true.” To this end, GLOW wiil staff a booth in the Great Hall of the Student Life Centre, every day next week, between 1O:OO a.m.

and 200p.m. The booth will have information about gay and lesbian related services and programs in the Kitchener-Waterloo comr n lUnity. Gay:themed films are also being shown at the booth. explains that DesRosiers “we’re not actually expecting a lot of people to come up to the booth, but we’11 have a big sign with our phone number so that people can call for help or information.” “When people are coming out, they’re afraid of what other people will think. There are so many preconceived misconceptioris, that gays are all old men, sex fiends or pedophiles. And people see this and think ‘I’m not like that’, so they feel alone. So, thisweekis aboutcounteracting this and fighting homophobia.” Indeed, media representation of homosexuality is an important issue in the gay and lesbian com-

munity. DesRosiersexplains that “the portrayal ofgays in the media is a constant debate, about whether they should be portrayed as ‘nor-

mal’ people or as the sort of outlandish, stereotypical image that people have of gays: There is a

whole spectrum of gays, from the feminine, to the hutch, to the ‘normal.“’ With respect to more journalistic forms of media, DesRosiers comments that “the issue of homosexuality tends to become the main issue in any event that involves a gay person, whether it’s relevant or not.” But, these are some of the bigger concerns facing groups like GLOW. For now, DesRosiers is keeping issues closer to GLOW’s UW home. “This term, I want to redecorate the GLOW office, make it a more comfortable place to hang out. I want to make GLOWaboutmorethanjusta weekly discussion group.” Meredith Owen,Vice President, Student Issues, is helping in this task. She explains that “working with the people in this group is great. They’re so involved, so aware of what’s going

on. They want to help as much as they can. Coming out on campus is a difficult thing to do, and people are worried about how other people might react, about whether people will still respect them. But, GLOW is there to help people deal with these issues.” The week will conclude with the “The Pink Party,“featuring Lads in Lashes, a drag show out of London, Ontario. Acelebration of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered population of both UWand the KW community, it isat Federation Hall on October 24, at. 990 p.m. Also, discounted ticket prices are available for both new and old membersof GLOW, tosee “rhe Sum of Us,” a play running from Oct. 22 to Nov. 1, at the KW Little Theatre. The play deals with contemporary gay relationships. DesRosiers concludes, “there are gay people everywhere, the issues we’re talking about this week need exposure because they’re crucial to a lot of people.”

Double the Pipeline by K&la Gnrblsic ImprlntstaR IThe

government of Ontaiio is looking toeducate more computer and electrical engineers and computer scientists. Last May, Queen’s Park announced it would offer financial incentives to post-secondary institutions who increased enrollment n technological fields as partofthe “double-the-pipeline” deal. Queen’s Park had originally stipulated that Ontario universities double their enrollment in computer science and electrical and computer engineering. At UW, a 100 percent increase would mean over four thousand students entering high-technology faculties. Already Canada’s largest hightechnology university, UW said such an increase was unfeasible, and refused to participate, which proved rather embarrassing to the province. In response to industry pressure, Queen’s Park has been seeking a compromise with UW.

3 ii >>r ? z 3 e 2e

Recent rumours of an amendmcnt totheproped program have placed UW’s new enrollment target at 3,367 more students by the year 2003-04, an increase of 68 per ~ntovercurrent numbers. A UW leak to the K-W hodspecified last weekend that the university and the government had reached an agreement, but there has not yet been an official announcement from the province. A press conference is tentatively scheduled for next week. Other post-secondarv institution; involved mu& still meet the original quota, although many universities and colleges are small enough to necessitate under one hundred additional students. UW’s specula&e 68 per cent increase would add over one thousand students over four years. Paul Schellenberg, W’s acting Dean of Math in Dean Alan George’s absence, was reluctant to co?ment on the government’s as

yet unofficial technological expansion program. There is still a lot of uncertainty, but what we need to do [when the deai is officially an-

Pan-Canadian Week of Action Democracy on campus:” doesit even exist?

orried about the Student Life Center turning into a large corporate advertising forum? Concerned about the level of democracy on campus, or lack thereof? At 6:OO p.m. on October 14, a small number of concerned staffand students met in the Multi-Purpose Room in thestudent Life Centre toaddress these issues and others. Facilitating the meeting, which was organized under the auspicesoftheStudent UnityPowerAction (SUPA) student group, was Sue Forrest. Taking part were a number of concerned students and staff, as well as representatives of the University of Waterloo branch of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), branch 793, and for at least part of the meeting, Federation President Christian Provenzano. Among the issues dis: cussed was the high level of student apathy. . Several reasons were advanced. For many, . working for a powerful corporation is a “dfeam job,” one student participant suggested. Another blamed the focus on the career seen in many programs available here - this, to . some extent, serves to isolate students from 1each other as well as the community at large.

One staffmember suggested thatstudents at Waterloo are perhaps becoming too comfortable, saying that when he was getting his degree he “was radical as hell because I was broke like hell.” Perhaps, wondered one student, it is a sense of helplessness in the face of the corporate juggernaut. ~ The issue of privatization was also discussed. CUPE representatives pointed out the loss of jobs and/or wages that would be attendant upon the privatization of many university services, as well as the decline in the quality of services that would be provided by a demoralized and under paid university staff. Others also pointed out that it seems nai’ve to expect that a major corporation would pour millions of dollars into the campuswithoutgettingacertainamountof leverage in return. CUPE Local President Neil Stewart pointed to the Western Unity Group as an exafiple of staff, students and faculty working together. As the meeting drew to a close, new plans were made to meet again on these issues were drawn, and hopes wereexpressed for further cooperation between staff and students on these important issues. +“It’s a start to something,” said co - organiser Davin Charney happily. Anew meetingis planned for October 28.

The Great Debate: Leftwesus right oneducation by David

Robins

hmpn’nt5tciF

n October 13, the left and right met Iin the Student Life Centre to debate education policy, to kick off Pan-Canadian Weekof Education (October 13-16). Representing the left, Daniel Davis of SUPA(Student Unity Power Action) asked “Is the goal of education to create an intelligent elite or to help the survival of the country?” He argued that the purpose of a country is “essentially to ensure the rights of people.” Milton Chan, of the Young Liberals of Canada, spoke for the right. He said that “Post-secondary [education] should be accessible for everyone.. . but university is not for everyone, there is professional training out there.” The floorwas thenopened toquestions and comments. Barbara Saunders, representative of WPTRGspoke, calling the Liberal Millennium fund a “gpvernment curtsey,” arguing that “students are kidding themselves if they think things are going to get better.” She invited Chan to talk about the corporatization of education. Chan said, “The government makes sure corporations make money following the rules.” Discussing the makeup of the UW BoardofGovemors (BOG), which Davis had attacked, Chan responded, ‘There are females [on the board], liberal arts .professors.. *[and] it is not fair tosay that just because they are corporate heads, _ people should not sit on the Board.” Davis answered that “the school is here to serve the country. . .not specific [corporate] interests.” Saunders, speaking about the Multilateral Agreemznt ‘on Investments -(MAI) treaty signed recently, quoted International Trade Minister Sergio

Marchi: “Canada should be marketing its education system around the world because of its low tuition,” and then revealed that only one of the 29 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries had higher tuition, and only two-CanadaandJapan-donotoffer educational grants. “Question corporate rule” she said, “because you’re not going very far unless you do,” Chan argued that the BOG should be graded by the reputation of the University. Julian Ichim asked if “the BOG is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, how can they be responsible to us?” Chan closed by saying that “education’s goal is to make sure we have qualified individuals to build a future. We should consider seriously what role the government can play, and its limitations.. .what role can students play? How can we change the system rather than asking someone else to change it for us?” Dale Whitmore disagreed, saying, “Education comes down to making us better people.. .the people making the decisions should be us.” Ghan came back with “By enriching a society you have continuity.” But Whitmore had the last word: “A world with better people in it is a better world.”

ndigenous people whose lives are being overturned by transnational oil corporations, are taking matters into their own hands but to no avail. Xavier Grijalva, a professor at Salesiana University in Quito, Ecuador, spoke in the Student Life Cencrel~tThursday,toraiseawareness about the difficulties his country is facing. Grijalva argued that Ecuador has been changed dramatically by foreign oil company operations. Ecuador does not stand alone among Amazonian countries in feeling the pressure from the increasing, global petroproducts demand. Unfortunately, stated Grijalva, the residents at ground zero are often naive to the active power economic incentive can create in

racism prevails

the international resource market. Different indigenous groups in Ecuador have reacted differently; two have all but ceased to exist as a community, and others are trying to join forces or cooperate to get in on the payoff. “When the struggle of a community is legitimate, any of their actions are legi timate,” reasoned Grijalva, in his eye-opening presentation that included a video and slides of his country. He described a community which saw no alternative but to detain an oil company representative with ARC-O, an American multinational. This seeminglyaggressive act has had a particularly heavy and fundamental impact on the lives of the villagers. They demanded that heads of the decision making team at least fulfil1 their promises to sit down and communicate. Despite many promises; company representatives did not come to talk and the villagers were forced to release the kidnapped worker. Grijalva argued that nothing has changed since then, and the company continues to expand, altering the lifestyles of the villagers without offering appropriate compensation. These problems are not unique to Ecuador. Local residents and indigenous groups across the world are finding themselves in the same position. It is widely argued that large corporations lack accountability

but possess ruthless ethics in their relentless pursuit of profit. Humanitarian organizations and environmental NGOs are often the only aid in an expensive process of retaliation through lawyers and raised public awareness. However, “environmentalists do trot want negotiations,” says Grijalva, “they don’t understand the point of view of the indigenous.” Often they are more concerned with total protection of the forest, and take such extremist positions they are no help to the communities. With new technologyandpressure from environmental NGOs, some operations have cleaned up their act substantially, but are nevertheless disregarding, insultingly Grijalva suggests, any indigenous group who happens to be living in the path of development. In Ecuador, for example, the government is up to its elbows in blackgold and there seems to be little point for these communities to appeal to their representatives in parliament. As the “biotechcentury” draws nearer, the fight between indigenous groups and “western” corporations is turning to issues of traditional ecological knowled@, intellectuai property rights, and biodiversity. Native groups, especially in the Amazon, are now finding it even harder to protect their lifestyle and human rights in a new field where all the lines are fuzzy and ethical considerations are more obscure than ever.

OUSA conferencethis weekend SAC’s

/mpn’ntsM l-he

annual Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) assembly begins today at University of Waterloo. Delegates from OUSA’s seven member universities are gathering on campus to spend the weekend discussing policy development and student financial aid. OUSA, a groupofstudentoounCiIs working together to protect the interests of Ontario’s undergraduate students, welcomes its newest member, McMaster University, to theconference that will

conclude in the organization’s annual general meeting. During the weekend, two topic-specific discussion sessions will be held, in which delegates will focus on specific issues pertaining to post-secondary education in Ontario: key performance indicators and deregulation of tuition. Further, two key speakers will be on hand to present reports and answer questions. Dr. David Smith, co-chair of the Smith Report, elements of which formed the framework for the Ontario government’s policy on deregulation, will present updates on the report itself.

Dr. Ian Clark, recently appointed Chair of the Council of Ontario Universities (COI-J), will speak at the October 18 lunch time address at Ground Zero. At 1:OO p.m. Dr. Clark will discuss the leadup to Ontario’s coming provincial

election. Primarily at issue is the direction of future education policy. Dr. Clark’s interest lies in nroviding an open forum for various universities to discuss their own priorities with respect to post-secondary education. The intent of the discussion is a primarily informative one, with member universities having an opportunity to present their position to the others.

urrentSAC(StudentsAdvising Co-Op) chair Greg Thompson was perplexed by the low turnout at the recent SAC ‘ThinkTank.” “I don’tknow what tomake ofit,” said Thompson. “Some students are upset with coopbuthowdowegetthemtocome to the forum?” Issues covered at the tank included the upcoming CECS Online, which will replace the current paper system in May of 1999 and some specific situational problems a few students had experienced. SAC has a few ideas on how to relieve the current participation problem. They have made plans to examine the setup of SAC and formulate a strategic plan to deal with issues regarding SAC as an organizatiQn to serve students. While SAC is working very hard to ensure they are filling the role needed in the community, they are struggling to get the input and with complaints that they aren’t responsible to the students. Thompson said that students have to be more proactive in airing their: complaints. Thompson emphasized that SAC’s role is to help students resolve issues with co-op and direct co-op as it evolves. SAC is being consulted with on the development of the CECS Online software and their input is having an effect on the direction the software goes. Thompson hopes to get more people involved in discussing the software as it progresses. “SAC is a vehicle for change within Co-op,” said Thompson. “The more input we get from the students, the better we can make the system work for the students.” Thompson also stressed that communication between SAC and Co-op has been good, and by getting more students involved SAC can help “close the communications loop.”

iring my opinion here weekly, as I do, I am the recipient of occasional criticism. People take me to task for the things I write here. So to my critics I would like to say, “Yes! More! Bring it on!” In all seriousness, like Sir Winston, I do not resent criticism, I welcome it. To be honest., I tend to get annoyed if, after I make some particularly provocative statement, no one stands up to challenge me on it. I think criticism is one of the key pieces of the dialectic of learning. I state, you debate, and hopefully we both come out somewhere ahead of where we started, What does bother me, however, is if I am criticised for something I did not say. For example: A few weeks ago, Impz&t reported the story of Planned Parenthood being asked to stay away from a volunteer fair at St. Jerome’s. That week, I put forth my views on the subject in my column, Since then, there has been a large response, and a debate between proand anti-abortion points of view has erupted. All well and good, except that some of the letters make reference to my opinion piece. Those who actually read my piece in its entirety will recall that I ap/zZ@ stated that I was not taking a stand on either side of the abortion issue. I was only criticising the decision-making process involved. People tend to fixate on one small piece of an article -the piece that most angers them, or that they most agree with. They develop a form of tunnel vision, and totally miss everything else being said. Another example: This week I am being taken to task for my column last week., where I took a poke at student writing skills. One reader feels that my attitude is insensi; tive towards students who speak English as a second language and who can therefore be excused for making the grammatical mistakes I pointed out. I agree wholeheartedly. I spent a year living in a non-English-speaking country, and know exactly how hard it is to learn a foreign tingue:My article was directed solely at native English speakers. Perhaps I should have been more direct in stating that. However, apart from grammar, I also criticised students’ seeming inability to write cohesive, logically-flowing essays. This is a skill which transcends liguiscic barriers and should be mastered by a university student regardless of what their first language is. I am criticised, as an editor, for being intolerant of mistakes, and for creating an environment that is discouraging to those who volunteer for Imprint. In response, I quote the last paragraph of my own article: “Finally, practice makes perfect - come write for Imprint. We are not here for those who know, but for those who want to learn.” I state outright that Imprint is a learning environment, and extend an invitation to all those who wish to better their writing skills. My point here is: when you are preparing to critique, be sure you have cueftihj read what you are critiquing in iti &n/y. Be sure that you are addressing what the person actually said, that you aren’t missing something important and that you are not fixating on a trivial point that is an aside from the main issue.

Thank you

would like to express my gratitude to you and the Imprint staff, the board of directors and contributors for the opportunity given to me to share with you a very special chapter of my life, and a historical mcrment in Chile’s history that will remain a dark and sorrowful time never to be forgotten. A special thanks to my young friend, John Lofranco, to whom I wish a successful careeras a journalist. John! Canada needs more young people like you. Thank you on behalf of the many hundreds ofthousands that will never be able to tell their story and those who did not survive. I would like toextendmy thanks to the Faculty, staff, students andco-workers who encouraged me to go to the last chapter. It is good to know that the University community has this outlet for the truth.

Defending

with

lthough I have never responded to an editorial hfmprint, oranyothernewspaper for that matter, I felt compelled to address the views expressed by its editor-inchief Kieran Green .in his October 9 installment of Cognitive Dissidents, For those who may have missed the piece, Green comments on what he calls the “rhetorical deficit” exhibited by many of the students wh&ubmit articles toImprint, namely verb/ tense agreement, cohesiveness, and distinctions between its/it’s, there/their, etc. As an ESL tutor (English as a Second Language) for both international students at this university and adults in the K-W community, I see how such individuals struggle. with the often perplexing idiosyncrasies of .

the English language. What Green refers to as “basic concepts” may prove difficult to g!asp for someone whose first language is not English. Green seems to forget that the University of Waterloo is an ethnically and culturally diverse place, and that, for many of its students, English is not their first, or perhaps strongest language. Imprint can be an excellent medium for such students to exercismheir language skills, but after readiig Green’s rather mean-spirited attack on student submissions, I have to wonder why these students wouldn’t feel discouraged or intimidated in volunteering for Imptint, given the Editor-in-Chiefs intolerant attitude. In short, Imprint is a university paper where, hopefully, what one has to say is more relevant than petty distinctions between ‘its’ and ‘it’s.’ Of course, proper grammar is important, but it is not the editor’s place to ridicule students in his weeklycolumnabstit the flaws he perceives in student writing. The job of an editor is to clean up one’s grammatical and lexical usage in a text, and to pass the valuable information on to the reader. May I remind Mr. Green that without those submissions by students who “simply can’t write,” there would be no Imprint, and hence, no job for him. To criticize students who offer their valuable time and energy to this volunteer paper is not only discouraging, but in extremely poor taste.

have one question for the Feds over their latest decision to drop out of the “Week of Action:” Just who do you represent?Certainlynot ih’e students, when fear of “attacking” the administration or government policies leaves the students in waste.

You should be standing behind the stu, dents in their fundamental right to an accessible, public, post-secondary education system. Robin Stewart claims to fight for “high quality accessible education here at UW and across the country.” Why can he not support this claim through a public demonstration? Maybe he should worry less about controllingthe students and focus hiseffortson what is important to them. The University has always been an institution that questions the smtus quo, fos-’ ters alternative philosophies and broadens the intellectual scope of its students. It’s sad to see that’the body that represents the students has been lost to fhe false reality that a great deal of North America lives in: that what’s good for business is good for the nation. Well, it’s not godd for me, nor a great deal of students I know. I will be there supporting what I’ve worked very hard for: my right to post-secondary education. I have one word for the Feds decision - shame.

avid Eby’s article in September 25, Imprint articulated his point of view extremely well. I have been known to loosen my tie and get “wild” every once and a while myself, but rollerblading is where I must draw the line. Rollerbladingon public streets and walkways is simply irresponsible and in many cases fatal. For a member ofthe university community to come out and advocate not only rollerblading, but rollerbladingon illegal walkways is downright wrong. I agree that it is hard at times to get across campus in the allotted ten minutes, but there are alternatives. I havecompiled a list of very effective alternatives to the extremely dangerous method of transportation known as rollerblading (I call it eight-wheel suicide, but that is only my opinion). For starters, the unicycle provides

n regards to G, Bridges and David Dembeck’s editorial letters concerning the Lauryn Hill CD review by Eric Braiden, the only problem I had was referring to Mr. Braiden as a gentleman. His jaded indifference towards hip-hop in general can only be seen as blatant ignorance. How could.he insult the “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” when she is an independant and sexy woman, no matter how bad the album may be. I agree with G. Bridges’ assesment that a CD review should be entirely dependant upon the amount of research put into the article, and G, Bridge even gives an excellent quotation from Entertainment Weekly. The fact that the article came out on the same day as the review was published has no real bearing. Braiden should have forseen elements contained within the article, Mr. Braiden should be stopped from writing future CD reviews when more experienced journalists, such as David Dembeck, has work being published ieveral times in mati. And G. Bridges’youthful insight could give a breath of fresh air to the paper. Both should be hired on as staff instead. -

Planned Parenthood response #l

n asking that I “take off my blinders,” Terry Polevoy has demonstrated guilt of the very sameoffence ofwhich I have been accused: failing to consider both sides of an issue. After my original letter was published it came to my attention that the Planned Parenthood (PP) Federation of Canada does not provide abortions, as Polevoy pointed out;internationally, however, it does. And domestically, PP makes money on abortions more money than it makes on abortion alternatives. This was the purpose of my original letter: to illustrate that Planned Parenthood is not as non-partisan as was claimed in Imprint’s article. Polevoy calls my “attacks against [PP]. . . an outrage to women everywhere who have died from illegal abortionists.” Is Polevoy aware that women still die from

&g&abortions? Although the percentage of women who die from legal abortions is less than the percentage of women who die from illegal abortions, the absolute numbers are higher due to the increased number of abortions that legalization has brought (various surveys indicate that’ 70-87 percent of women who abort would not have if abortion were illegal). Is Polevoy outraged over t-liese deaths? Polevoy mentions anti-abortion bomb threats directed at ShoppersDrugMart.Whatareommitted are the public statements made by many Pro-Life groups cofl&??zning. anti-abortion violence. Feminists For Life has even offered a reward for information leading to the arrest of an abortion clinic bomber. NO Pro-Life organization endorses violence, Another criticism of the ProLife movement is that it is comprised mostly of men wanting to take away women’s rights, another Pro-Life stereotype that Polevoy did not bother to verify. Ninety percent of people who work for Birthright are woFen. Early fernit-@ Susan B. Anthony, Emma Goldman, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, were Pro-Life. The majority of members of Right to Life are women. Like the early feminists, many believe that women should be treated equally to men and that undergoing a surgery that kills their children shouldn’t be prerequisite to equitable treatment. Polevoy also raises the issue of violence directed towarc) and from “unwanted children,” suggesting that not allowing abortion encourages such horror. First of all, child abuse and youth violence have not decreased since abortion was legalized, but have dramatically increased. Small wonder, too, since abortion rights logic has proposed that violence outside the womb, child abuse, is best prevented by partaking in the ultimate form ofviolence -ending a life - inside the womb. Besides, “Abortion or abuse” is a sorry set of alternatives. It raises the necessity of finding a third support through pregnancy, which the Pro-Life movement aims to provide. Polevoy’s attack continues. What are the Pro-Lifers doing after saving fetuses? I can’t speak for everyone. But I know a Pro-Life woman who has fostered three pregnant teenagers. I know a ProLife family that has adopted twelve handicapped children. Terry Polevoy has presented a colourful attack on a caricature of the Pro-Life movement, but this attack pales in light of the facts: the caricature bears little resemblance to the true picture. Perhaps I only offered “one side of the story” in my last letter, and I’ve done it again. Polevoy has also offered only one side+ So has Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood response *2

ike Dr. Polevoy, I don’t often read the letters in Imprint. Also like Dr. Polevoy, I am on the “Pro-Choice” side of the question of whether abortions should be legal. However, a key difference between the twoof us is that I know Brenda Fine, Ad hominem attacks on a person one doesn’t know are just stupid - not to mention that they totally missed the mark. “Dear Brenda, please take off your blinders.” Hmmm. . .‘someone knows a different Brenda than I do. Dr. Polevoy then proceeds to lump together Brenda and various fringe groups who bomb pharmacies and try to repress women. This is as absurd as having all of us who are Pro-Choice bundled together with eugenics groups funded by the Nazi Party! If you want to discredit thevalidityof the Pro-Choice position by spewing pointless arguments and irrelevent facts(what does the condition of women in Saudi Arabia have to do with alleged conflict of interest for Planned Parenthood?), or by engaging in unfounded character attacks, keep it up. I would personally rather see the Pro-Choice side defended by someone who actually raises valid points and addresses the issues.

Planned Parenthood response #3

r. Terry Polevoy defends abortion on the ground that women have a right to control their own bodies. The argument, with an implicit premise made explicit, seems to be this: (1) each woman has the right to control her own body; (2) the fetus is a part of the pregnant woman’s body; (3) therefore, women have the right to abortion. This argument, however, is not immune from criticism. Consider the following reasoning (from Peter Kreeft’s Tire Unabufled &mates [Intervarsity Press, 19833, pp. 44-47): First, assume (for the sake of argument) that the second premise is true, That is, assume that the fetus isa part of the pregnant woman’s body. Second, consider the logical relation of transitivity. IfA is a part of B, and B is a part of C, then A is apartofc. Ifabrickispartofawall, and the wall is partofa house, then the brick is part of that house. Third, keep in mind two facts: (1) a woman has two feet; and (2) a fetus has two feet. Now, consider the following: if a fetus’ two feet are a part of the fetus, and if the fetus is a part of a pregnant woman, then the fetus’ two feet are a part of that woman. Hence, & woman hs fimrfivt. NOW, also consider the fact that the male fetus has a penis. If

’ he should carry the child to term. FL he latter is not neutral. Agencies like Right-to-Life provide enough .of this one-sided literature to .women. We need agencies to provide choice as well. Planned Parenthood addresses this need. The second issue I would like to address is a statistical one. It seems neither a dictionary nor a research methods textbook resulted while writing her letter. She spouted several statistics without providing any context to her read‘ers(although thiscould be because -her source lacked. the same qualGty), which she extracted from a book entitled “Aborted Women: ISilent No More.” That does not isound like a neutral account ofthe experiences of women who have chosen abortion. It would be interesting to read the one-sided, biased questions that the author of this book gave to his sample of women. And who were these women anyway? Miss Fine never said. The sample could be from women who have made civil claims against the doctorwho performed their abortion, who knows? ‘My guess would be that the women who participated in his study are those who regret their decision to some degree, and that the sample did not include women who feel good about their choice.

would like to thank Allister Mason for the compliment in his letter to the Editor last week. He was responding to my letter of the previous week in which I said that Arts students, and Arts in general, deserve more respect. He referred to me as Lisa “Look Mommy, . I can use a thesaurus!” Johnson. Very clever. But since I sat down and wrote that letter in ten minutes without the use of a thesaurus, I feel it is a testament to my grasp of the English language that Mr. Mason assumed I had used such an aid. I must say how absurd I find it that anyone would claim “mathematics, computer code and technical drawings are . . . languages more universally recognized than English.” I would also like to thank Mr. Mason for so beautifully illustrating in his letter the very point I was making in my letter. That point was that many people cannot form proper, grammatically correct sentences. It is a shame. Allow me to say that my letter was not a rant against engineers or math students. And as a last word on the issue, I would like everyone to know that the “bettering the world” remark was made with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

A plea for intelligence T

et’s just drop the%ce guy image I have for just a moment so I can complain a bit. I am sick and tired of this “banter” in the Letters to the Editor section and I’m going to turn into one of the writers and rant. You people are pissing me off, and I’m now going to fire back at you. Give you some of your own medicine, I have a column, might as well put it to good use. So, let’s start with the first one: Clubs, The clubs have now been whining for the last few weeks about how the Feds have taken their funding away, treating them like children who can’t handle their allowances. Hey, guys, if it looks like a duck, and smells like a duck.. . My advice to you is to grow up. I’d like the bank to give me credit cards up my ass, but that won’t happen anytime soon, and for a good reason. I’d rather have Feds take the money and be responsible for funding than money going left, right, and centre without any real control. That being said, a note

to the Feds: lighten the fuck up. I don’t mind you pulling funding to control the flow, but the rules imposed right now are a little like the Third Reich here. Oh, and since your accounts are just as bad if not worse, maybe you should consider hiring an accountant or five. Couldn’t hurt, guys. Next comes the Engineers. Stop chanting to the Tool gods and listen up. I don’t give two shits about your Tool, or the Tool-Bearers, oryourcult. I don’t care for one plain reason: in the end, we all get screwed by the government. Why can’t you focus all your energy in to something useful, like maybe fixing the country’s loonie, So what if you guys get good jobs almost the same instant that you graduate and will more than likely get paid more money then I ever will, but guess what? I’m still happy with myself, I still can go to my classes with a sense of purpose, and I still have a life. There, now, note to arts students: get off your high horse, and

stop fighting the engineers. Why don’t you learn about your own faculty (the not knowing about Porcellino, our mascot, is a slap in the face which I’m also guilty of), rub the boar’s nose for luck, and join forces with the engineers so we can make the world a better place by focusing on the greater good: forcing mathies to leave MC and bathe. Finally, to everyone who’s ever insulted the quality of Imprint, or has gotten their $4.10 from us: first, before you bitch and complain, I dare you to come down and do it yourself. Think the editing and proofreading sucks? Improve it. Come on down. Think you could take better pictures of your own ass in a blizzard? Prove it to us. And I have no clue what anyone cando with fourdolIarsand ten cents. Besides maybe buying yourself a single burger, no fries or drink. Perhaps one beer. But like I said, if all you can do is bitch and complain, I have no respect for you or your waste of air.

(UDHR). December 10, International Human Rights Day, notonly marks the 50th anniversary of this document, but also the end of a year-long campaign by Amnesty to promote it. It was adopted in 1948 by the UN. General Assembly and, while not necessarily legally binding, it carries considerable international weight. UW’s Amnesty campus group exists as a WPIRG action group. We collect information and receive packages on a regular basis from Amnesty International on current issues and human rights abuses.

e could always tell when international protests were taking place.. the food rations increased and the beatings were fewer. . but when the letters stopped, the dirty food and the repression started again.” These are the words of a released prisoner in Vietnam, referring to the workofAmnesty International (AI) on his behalf. Amnesty International is a world-wide human rights organization whose work is driven by four goals: Freeing all prisoners of conscience: people detained anywhere for their beliefs of because of their ethnic origin, sex, colour, language, national or social origin, economic status, birth, or other status, provided they have not used or advocated violence. a Ensuring fair and prompt trials j for political prisoners. Abolishing the death penalty, torture, and other cruel treatment of prisoners. Ending political killings and “disappearances.” Amnesty is an impartial organization that is not affiliated with

any political or religious belief, nor funded by any government. It was started in 1961 by British lawyer Peter Benenson in response to the imprisonment of two Portuguese students for making a toast to freedom. What started as a small campaign involving letters of protest and newspaper articles has grown into an international movement with over one million members and more than 6,OOOgroups in 150 countries. Abuses of human rights occur every day and every where, whether we hear of them in the media or not.

The task of the panels was to engage in public consultation and come up with detailed maps outlining complete land use planning recommendations for the Minister of Natural Resources (currently John S_nobelen) by March 1998. With these recommendations, the Minister would then decide how pu,blic lands would be allocated,

Indeed, the use of 46 million hectares of Crown land (close to half the province) is to be comprehensively determined through the strategies put forward in the Lands for Life (L4L) process. Current guidelines for Crown land use were developed in the 1970’s and early 1980’s. The purpose of L4L is to replace land use planning strategies that many feel are outdated and no longer address complex issues, Land use conflicts between various groups (forestry and mining industries, environmentalists, tourist operators, First Nations, fishing and hunting organizations, as well as different ministries, including Parks and the Environment), have occasionally resulted in ongoing battles that leave those involved dissatisfied ,..

is meant to replace took 10 years to complete. The three Round Tables’wete originally given nine months to present their recommendations to the Minister. After a four month extension, the recommendations were presented to himon July31. A Boreal West “Interim Report” reasoned that the “speed of new technology” justified the fast pace. “Sophisticated modeling systems” and computers enabled the planners to make decisio,ns on the impacts of different land use strategies much more quickly. This, of course, seems to ignore the ‘speed’ of public consultation and discussion, which was not factored. into the equation. These “sophisticaced” modelling systems have also not been available for public scrutiny. A science panel was set up under the auspices of the Partnership for Public Lands (a committee of World Wildlife Canada, the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, and the Wildlands League in response to L4L) to study the science behind the L4L process.

Although they’ve made requests for information, they’ve had little to work with since the ministry has not made their modelling systems available for comment. The Partnership did, howe\;er, suggest that 15-20 per cent of public lands should be protected. Their research shows that “this is the minimum needed to maintain Ontario’s ecological and economic health.” Presently, only 5.9 percent offorests in the Lands for Life planning area are’ pro-

cated by what’s been described by Ontario’s Environmental Commissioner as a “flurry of major new forest policies” at the MNR. Current foresuy licenses for land last for 20 years. Forestry representatives have been asking for tenure in perpetuity. There has been talk that the MNR may grant 99 year tenures. Also, the government is putting into place agreements that would pay compensation to industries if a license were later re-allocated (land claims, anyone?). The forest management budget and staff at the MNR were cut by about 50 per cent in the last three years. This was in line with the MNR intention to transfer forest management responsibilities to the forestry companies. The companies will be responsible for monitoring their own practices and compliance with MNR guidelines (which have also been revised recently without public consultation). So, will the forestry industry (now dominated by a handful of corporations) in effect be,in control of half of the land of Ontario- in perpetuity?

Thanksgiving last weekend and there was much to give thanks for: the Leafs won their home opener (and beat Edmonton on Tuesday night), my family was together eating lots of good food, the trip to the cottage was long but safe and the trees were on fire. The lights across the lake were as bright as the sounds of laughter were dim. They were like beacons shouting, “We are here, too!” There was singing, also. The voices rode the ripples of the water half a mile across. Or is it a mile? A guitar sounded like the cry of some exotic animal, relocated to this unknown, secluded eastern Ontario lake. The sound set off the dogs. All around they were barking, and the sound echoed back and forth, back and forth across the lake.

I saw a shooting star fall from the heavens. It hit the tree tops and they burst into flames, showering the shore, land and water with sparks, cinder, and embers. Then the darkness took over again. Only the lights across the lake and something in the bush behind me silently broke the stillness. When it moved, it sounded not quite big, but definitely rotund, A nice, healthy porcupine most likely. There were no bugs outside, but they littered the lamp I was writing by, and fell dead or alive onto my page, scalded by the heat or intrigued by the light or the shadows from my hand, fingers, and pen. The hockey game came in weakly and shrouded in static. Every few minutes the voice of the announcer would fade away,

and somehow slide into the baseball playoff game on an adjacent frequency. “Jeter steps in . . . Yzerman breaks in on Joseph. Kaberle steps into him and . . . down the line into the corner, he rounds second heading for . . . stopped byJoseph! Oh my!

There is no roof, so the heat can mingle with those breaths and keep them content. Sitting in this orange chair with the heat from the old stove on my feet, flies flitting, winter heroes on the radio, far away but getting closer as the temperature outside drops, slowly pushing out the boys of summer in their final, autumn glory, I give thanks.

Madonna says, “Every little thing you do will end up coming back to you,” Apply this to dogs, too: next time one bites you, bite back. The look on his face will be worth the fur in your mouth.

As the holiday season approaches, you will find yourself reclaiming your long-lost spirituality. The gods don’t like halfassers, so don’t bother or you’ll be damned to hell eternally.

Someone will make you doubt yourabilities this week, so take great pleasure in proving them wrong. But don’t bother trying to put your elbow in your ear, it just won’t fit.

The stress of this time of the year is getting to you. You will be tempted to call in a bomb threat to the university to postpone your mid-terms. Do it! You’ll be doing us all a favour. But beware of +69.

You have become a T.V. junkie - take a week off. When you return, Bo and Hope will+be apart, the Salingers will be suffering, and someone will still have killed Kenny. “You bastards!”

Getting back to nature is an admirable intention. No need to camp out in the woods in the middle of October, though. Just trap a deer and keep it penned in your yard. That’s as natural as it gets.

For the love of Vishnu, stop being such a dough-head. You are ignoring your friends and schoolwork. Your disorganization will lead to chaos in your life. Utter chaos. Chaos, I say! CHAOS!!!

Silicon Vallev - where it’s at by Simon

vervone knows that Waterloo students aren’t all there. In Waterloo, that is. Or even in Canada, for that matter. A third of the university is away on co-op at any given moment, and some students choose to work abroad. Spending a work term down in California, in particular, is a blast. Silicon Valley is a popular destination for computer students. The valley stretches from San Francisco down to San Jose, a 60 mile urban stretch made up of various towns such as San Mateo, Palo Alto, MountainView, and Los ,4ltos. Yeah, there’s a lot of computer companies here. If you look at the addresses of a random selection of computer companies,chances are it’ll be in one of the towns just mentioned. But the computer scene’s not the only one happening down here. Northern California is just a cool place to be. Take Berkeley, just across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, and immediately north of Oakland. Centre of numerous student riots in the sixties, this town is known for being noisily left-wing. A population of aging hippies still hangs out on Telegraph St. - some of these vendors look like they’ve been there selling dope pipes since the sixties. The university (UC Berkeley) is amazing in itself. It’s where the cyclotron was invented (a major part of the development of nuclear weapons), andincredible ground-

breaking research continues there today. They have parking spots specifically reserved for Nobel laureates. Berkeley is a city of activists. I recently attended a lecture in the Martin Luther King public school auditorium given by a left-wing author and historian named Michael Perente. Perente was talking about the decline of the Roman Republic, which occured in about 50 BC, in the time of Cicero, and the sort of mistakes classical historians have made about what was going on at the time. In a country where wealth is political power and voter turnout is awful, compared to many other countries, including Canada, he described how the Roman senators, much like their American counterparts, walked all over their people. Since SenatorCicero, a beloved example of republican ideals from traditional historians, is a source of 90 per cent of present day knowledge of that period, he was onk of Perente’s main targets. Even in. those days, politicians were considered evil.

He stated, “A lot of contemporary historians don’t mention that Cicero was a slum lord. And he feared what he called ‘the democratic excesses of the people.’ They figured we didn’t need to know that. About 95 per cent of present day historians are Cicero admirers. What does that say about our universities?” Not much, I guess. A visit to Santa Cruz reinforces that this part of the world really is a haven for hippies. Santa Cruz is a beautiful town right on the Pacific. University of California Santa Cruz is located here.

trees, but instead of camping sites in the hidden glades there are university buildings. The students are wandering along forest paths with backpacks on, heading from classes to dorms through these woods. Lounging around the Student Centre are fifty or so chilled-out, flowered-dressed, doped-out UCSC students sitting on the lawn or dancing to some very coo1 live groove music. It’s a great scene with lots of good-

looking girls and guys. And from that very spot you can look down onto the ocean vista, for UCSC is perched atop a big hill overlooking the city. Later on in the evening, we wander through downtown where parents and kids mingle with goths and street-bum druggies, offering speed and ‘change for a twenty,’ and yuppies, too (ugh). What a scene. So, if that isn’t enough to tempt you to visit Northern California, briefly consider San Francisco. This is definitely the coolest city on the continent. It’s vibrant and just about every other person is some kind of artist, musician, street actor, activist, or whatever. You can walk from the top of Telegraph Hill, where the Coit Tower is situated, where scented garden paths carry you between the antique condos {they must be so expensive) down to the City Lights bookstore, Chinatown, and North Beachin four blocks, no kidding. Ever read any beat literature? This is what it’s all about, man. Need I say more? Tips: If you’re planning on doing co-op here, you’ll make a lot of money. Butyou’ll need it. Rent is hideous (expect$6OO/month US), and you’11 need a car - you really can’t go anywhere without it. Make sure you get out and about to see the sights. Ifyou like hiking and camping, there’s a wealth of beautiful parks and scenery. Also, check out the nightclubs in the Mission district in SF. There’s something for everyone. Ddn’t forget to have fun!

Every squirrel’s favourite occupation? It’s shopping!

sport Squirrels as you will have seen, are pretty fast on their feet and it has been known for some of them to reach speeds around 35 km/h! They can swim too, but

their larder which they’ve worked so hard’to fill. If there are any Sumo squirrels among them, it must be the Indian Giant Squirrel which can grow up to three feet long and is found in south-east Asia and parts ofNepal.

Of coursethere are some squirIreland (I’ve seen if everyou wanted to find them you’d have to put some careful planning into it first. Seeing these cute little crearels in Northern about two) but

tures everywhere I turn got me curious. What do they do all day? Why are they always in such a hurry? What kind of music do they like? Whatdotheydoontheweekends? After using torture techniques tu make them talk and dissecting a few of their friends, I’ve been able to find out just what being a squirrel is all about. Squirrels belong to the rodent family and their name in all Germanic languages means “Oak kitten” as they’re furry but, like birds,

they live in nests (called dreys) built high up in trees. Did you know that

there are over 360 species of squirrels? You might not have known that their brain is the size of a walnut! An adult squirrel needs to eat about a

Baby squirrels are born furless and blind and don’t usually venture outside of the nest before they’re eight to ten weeks old, by which time they’re more equipped to fend for themselves. Baby squirrels are raised by their mother as the father disappears after mating.

Beauty treatment Squirrels are the cleanest animals in the rodent family. Males spend twice as much time grooming themselves as females! Gnawing through acorns and nuts takes its toll on the squirrels teeth, so their incisors continue to grow throughout their life to compensate for the wear.

his job and says that he and his students have a lot of fun working in the laboratory. Dr. Power and his students pursue their research in the area of spectroscopy - specifically in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). NMR is based on the interaction between the magneticdipoles of nucleiand an external magnetic field. The nucleus acts “like a minimagnet and we can measure the energy separations of molecules that are up and down with respect to one another,” says Power. These energy separations are very weak and the nuclei are sensitive to their electronic and nuclear surroundings. “Transitions are induced between the two possible orientations of the nuclear magnetic dipoles within the magnetic field when radio waves of the correct frequency are applied.” Any element that has a magnetic moment can be studied us-

Asteroid

Ifyou’ve seen the film ‘Armageddon’ you’ll love this. Early in the New Year a satellite called ‘Near’ will closely examine a near earth asteroid called ‘Eros’. The asteroid, approximately 24 miles by 8 miles frequently approaches the earth’s orbit. The satellite will collect vital information on the asteroid’s composition which may besolidrockorahugechunkofice. Asteroids smashed into earth 65 million years ago and are thought to have caused the extinction of dinosaurs. Don’t lose any sleep over this one though - this is a research mission, not a retake of Armageddon!

Going batty Researchers striving to improve the performance of sonar technology say they are still far behind Dracula’s screechy companion, the bat. Tests carried out on bats show that their sonar is more than twice as accurate as the most advanced man-made sonar systems which are used in marine and military domains. Bats navigate and hunt out their prey using their highly refined sonar which is accurate to the width of a pencildrawn line. Dolphins, which also use sonar, have been used by the Navy to find mines. The hopes are that with further research, sonar technology can be tweaked to become more ‘bat-like’ in its thinking.

Mars - a surfer’s paradise? Ifyou though that the planets in the solar system just ‘existed’ like Christmas tree bobbies and that nothing ever happened on them, you’d be quite wrong! Evidence gathered from the Mars Global Surveyor satellite and the planet’s rocks and soil indicate that things get pretty turbulent up there. Storm winds reaching 350 mph have been known, not to mention powerful floods with water flow 1000 times greater than some of the worst inundations in the US. So if you still believe that there are little green men up there, oh boy, they must be good swimmers!

Smart bridges may help reduce maintenance and closures Engineers at the University of Toronto unveiled technology that uses fibre optic sensors to detect when a bridge needs repairs, Researchers at U of T’s Institute for AerospaceSrudies(UTIAS)areexperimenting with a “smart” structure on the Leslie Street bridge in northern Toronto. The project, which has been developed over the past two years, involves lining the bridge’s columns with fibreopric stxsors. The)r are then

wrapped with advanced composite materials. The wrap covers the beam to protect it from deterioration, while the sensors keep workers alert to the possibility of failure. The fibre-optic sensors are the same kind of hair-thin cables used in the telecommunications industry except they are wrapped around or embedded in concrete structures. A short section of the cable is stripped of its protective coating and treated withhigh-intensity ultra-violet beams to create a sensing region that detects corrosion from within. The experimental sensors are unique in their 1 O-foot length; most sensors are closer to an inch in length and in their wraparound application. The researchers would ultimately like to install smart’ structures across the country and to develop remote systems that would allow monitoring by centrally located computers, rather than the time and expense involved in sending work crews for on-site inspections.

Big Brother is watching For the next five years, the Home Office will oversee the construction of the world’s biggest road and vehicle surveillance system. When completed, it will identify and track the movements of nearly all vehicles in Britain. The initial purpose of the system will be to identify stolen cars, though it can be equally useful for detecting vehicles with no tax or insurance, and even to track the movements of drivers and vehicle owners who are “of interest” to the authorities, Ten years ago such a plan would have been a political minefield. NOW+ it is first and foremost a technological problem. The architects of the network are preoccupied not with securing political support, butwiththetechnicalchallenge of integrating the cameras into the emerging telecommunications networks. At some point over the past decade, the popular view of surveillance cameras in England has changed radically. Once viewed as a blunt tool of surveillance, closed-circuit television (CCTV) is now seen as an integral part of the urban environment. Hidden cameras once frowned on - are now being installed unhindered in cinemas, redlight districts, changing rooms and housing estates. ScotlandYard says police will now use covert cameras as well to detect crime - a policy that is being followed by councils, private investigators, government agencies

and hospitals.

Warriors managed to top the SO point mark for the second time this season, coming out on top of the McMaster Marauders by a count of SS42. The game was just chock full of offense as several single game season highs were established on both sides of the field. Waterloo’s Mike Bradley tied the league high for touchdowns with four. Bradley carried the ball 23 times and racked up a total of 224 yards. Jon Gardiner matched teammate Tony Riha’s output against York with seven conversions on the day. Jason Tibbits recorded the longest kickoff return this year, a monster of Ill yards that he took right into the end zone for six points. McMaster quarterback Ben Chapdeline set two standards for passing with

the most attempts (46) and most completions (22). Combined there was 1093 yards of total offence and the 97 total points was the second most in this decade. The biggest game was the 1992 OUAA semi-final between Western and Toronto which Western won 5644. The win puts the Warriors in sole possession of second place in the OUG The Warriors lead the league in offence with 191 total points scored this year. The defense ranks fourth in the league with 116 points allowed. Only Western, Laurier and Guelph’s defenses’ are stingier. In other games around the league, Western remained undefeated by squeaking by York 10-8. Guleph and Windsor tied at 19 and in a Thursday match, Laurier beat up on the Toronto Blues 42-15. That win ties the Golden Hawks for third place with the Marauders, one point ahead of Guelph.

Warrior varsity hockey team completed the Oktoberfest Tournament’s consolation championship with a tough 5-4 overtime shootout loss to WLU. After spotting the Hawks an early goal, the Warriors took control on goals by Jason Brooks, Jay Henry and Rob Kirkby. The teams each scored once in the second with Brandon Moffatt scoring on a great shot after a feed from Brooks. The Warriors, who were playing without five regulars, faltered in the third, allowing Laurier to tie the game at four apiece. A five minute sudden-death overtime ended in a draw and the teams went to a five man shootout. Rookie Jordy Leore scored a nice goal to even a Laurier marker against goaltender Scott Walls. The last Warrior shooter couldn’t score in their last attempt to tie the shootout and Laurier was declared the winner. A tough loss for the Warriors but the strong overill effort gives

Coach Cressman optimism for the upcoming season thar sees the Warriors play in probably the toughest division in the 0UA. In the Warriors two previous games the squad put away Conestoga College 9 1 and a loss to Western 4 - 2. Goals scorers in the Conestoga game were Fitzgerald and Leore with two apiece and singles by Brooks, Marie, Henry, Mundell and Kirkby, After a scoreless first period against Western the Mustangs struck for two goals and the Warriors one on a powerplay marker by Brett Turner. In the third, Western went ahead by two only to have Warrior captain Dan Mundell score to make it a one goal game. The Warriors pressured and seemed to be close to notching the equalizer when their goalie pulled but had a shot blocked resulting in an open net goal. Again, the coaching staff saw the tournament as a good test to see how the team will stack up against their OUA rivals. Obviously disappointed with the loss but optimis& with ;he club’s potential. -

riors p’ulled through to trap the Badgers in an exciting five-set match. Highlights of the match included an exciting 16-14 win to take game one. The team’s success and promising future is built on positive attitudes and a strong rookie field. Being the youngest team in the league, the Warriors are the expected underdogs. They only

carry four returning players, which guarantees at least two rookies on the court at all times. However, the rookies are accepting thechallenge. Coach Corinne Williams is happy with the high-school performances of the rookies and states, “they will become strong once they gain the understanding [of the University game].” Outside hitter Lori Brubacher showcased her strong hitting by making a mockery of the Brock block and setter. Heidi Richmond played well enough to challenge the starting spot of veteran Cindy Gee. Coach Williams hasn’t decided who will start at the season opener against Windsor, but says to, “expect.the rookies to be out on the floor a lot” in an effort to continue to gain needed experience. Despite losing the majority of their pre-season matches, the Warriors are carrying with them an obvious positive attitude. They are sure that they are playing hard, confident they have the skills, certain they have the desire, and undoubting they will eventually win. Their confidence can be traced right back to Coach Co&me Williams, who fully believes in her team. %ur goal, as always, is to make the playoffs,” Williams stated, and the players aren’t ready to settle for anything @se. VeteranCheryl Dance brings four years of experience with her, and Agnes Magolon and Ami Barras are both showing the best of their years of Warrior experience. The confidence and strength of the team guarantees an exciting season which includes three home games before the month end. Support the Warriors in the PAC on Friday, October 16, at 6 p.m. for their home opener against Windsor. The Warrior Men’s team plays at 8 p.m.

lent defence and a great save from goalie Leslie Alexander, in a oneon-one penalty shot. _ Unfortunately the Blues were able to break through the Warrior defence in the second half. Waterloo was unable to recover, and the final score was O-3 for them. With a one day rest, Waterloo traveled to Guelph University to take on the Gryphons in a lateday match on Friday. This game was quite unique in the fact that Guelph’s field is grass and not the usual turf that the team is used to. But the Warriors adapted well to the conditions and played a hardfought game to the very end. In

the first half, during free play, Carolyn Stark knocked a goal in from the post. Guelph managed to break through the defence to score a goal near the end of the fust half. During the second half, Stark managed to break through Guelph’s defence to score another goal in free play. For the last half of the game, Waterloo kept Guelph away from their circle, and the final score was 2-l for us. This weekend the Warriors travel to Lamport Stadium in Toronto to take on both Trent and Queens University for the final games of regular session action.

Warriors rugby on the right track Social dance: Campus Recreation’s popular program

Cross-Canada

Challenge

update:

most

Out of ail the courses and programs that Campus Recreation offers, each term the popularity of social dance continues to grow. This term has set a record high with a whopping two hundred students participating. The 200 UW participants are waltzing their way to studio three each week for dance instruction by Sandy Johnson. Students learn a variety of dances such as: Viennese waltz, polka, somba, tango, jive, meiange and more! The students are kept on their toes learning new dances each week, as well as reviewing the dances learned previously. Sandy Johnson is a Waterloo community member and she is delighted with the overwhelming response to her program. She teaches social dance on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Dance participants have many different reasons for participating in social dance, A number of students use the class to brush up on their Oktoberfest polka skills while others practice strutting their stuff at wedding receptions, banquets and other festivities. Don’t miss out on this Campus Recreation program! Make sure you aren’t disappointed next term by getting to registra. tion early.

The Cross-Canada Challenge is well underway. Only eight weeks left to leap your way across Canada. Michelle Bosma holds the lead by landing in Wrigley, N.W.T. this week. Not too far behind is Jason Motterhead in Vulcan, Alberta. Congratulations to Andrew Kennedy and Meagan Lennox. They have both completed one trip and are embarking on their second journey. All the Cross-Canada participants share a common goali the satisfaction of completing the challenge as well as the chance to win the fme Bauer In-Line Skates. Keep on truckin’!

Reduce

exam stress with Campus Ret

he men’s Rugby team got their first win of the season last Thursday against the MacMaster Marauders. This is the first time since 1992 that the Warriors have defeated Mat. From the opening kick-off, the Warriors were at the throats of the visiting Marauders, however Mat capitalized on an early Waterloo mistake to get the first tri of the game. This put Mat ahead 5-O. The Warriors rallied, and marched down the field when Mat was penalized for a late hit right in front of their posts. The penalty kick by Brandon Bagnell was good, tightening the gap to 5-3. Waterloo now had the momentum, and Gory DeVilliers scored a

tri which was converted by Bagnall, Before the half ended, Andre Marois would score a tri in the corner, extending the Warrior lead to 15-S. In the second half, another penalty kick was scored by Bagnell, and a beautiful tri was set up by Mike Naylor and Andre Marois, and scored by Jeff Naylor in the corner of the field. Mat came back a little near the end of the game and scored the final tri to make the final score: Waterloo 23-MacMaster 15. The Super Fans were a great boost to the team, and at times it seemed like there was an extra man on the field. This is a rebuilding season for the Warriors, and the team is now gelling. The Warriors are looking for another win this weekend at York. A win at York will put the Warriors in the play-offs.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed to the max, anxious, ‘pressured or that your life is spinning out of control? If you have any of the listed symptoms, you are suffering from mid-term exam stress! Many studies have proven that exercise and fun can reduce that unwanted stress. Here are some tips to help you cope: break your dull study routine by incorporating physical activities such as pick-up basketball or visiting the pool and take a dip. Change the pace and go the weight room with a friend to workout. Reducing suess can even be a simple as walking or going for a bike ride, Remember to breathe and enjoy life!

His show, The &paredCircfe, was a series of beautiful full scale paintings depicting the tragedy of wrestling. Since last year Ward has graduated, had several shows, sold many paintings and, most importantly, continued his examination of the sport and symbol that is wrestling. Although Ward is still using the same subject, his paintings demonstrate his continuing evolution. As well as wrestlers he has incorporated symbols into his art. Orie painting features a hammer and sickle overlapping the wrestlers. Ward has also created small paintings using the polymer crackle method giving the pictures a depth and texture that resembles a painting by one of the old masters.

Girls, girls, girls The Body

Project

by Joan Jacobs Brumberg &nubm Hum

$25

hen I first picked up my copy of T& Bu& Project by Joan Jacobs Brumberg, I figured that it would be as dry as any other book I’d read that had been based on the history of women. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was textbook-ish in its content, which made for an abundance of information and insight, and not in its readability, as it was a delightful read and found it difficult not to be left wanting more pages once the book was done. This book is about middleAmerican girls and their bodies. The fight of biology versus society exists among every class everywhere, This book does’well to show that some day soon the two will meld into one idea, and that once this happens, there will be more healthily beautiful young women and fewer social rules to

which they feel they must conform. At the end of the twentieth century, both young girls and women have difficulty believing that all bodies are beautiful, not

only the ones that are seen most frequently in popular magazines oron television. This has changed greatly the way we live our dayto-day lives. In the early nineteenth century, girIs wrote about how they wished that they were more generous, more loving. Girls now write about new diets discovered or about how much they hate their body (even Cindy Crawford has said that she has celluli te).

This book discusses at length the basic scientific beliefs since the early 18OOs, how they have changed, and how they still influ’ ence the way we perceived. Two examples: “[in the 187Os], according to [Dr.] King, women’s natural state was pregnancy, and he claimed that menstrual bleeding was something ‘new’,” and “[In the 1930s and 40s people knew that] anyone’s child could develop a disfiguring skin condition [acne] that led to extreme timidity, ostracism and personality aberrations,” One young woman is quoted in the 1990s as asking, “Why isn’t there a virgin support group? It seems like there are support groups for every situation in this country except virginity.” Brumberg deals with the “sex” topic really well, in’ a clinical yet sensitive manner. Through the efforts of Brumberg

and others

sharing

her

views, we are making our way carefully into the twentieth century. We can only hope this century will be easier on women than the last two. Soon we will be able to live as women should. Natarally beautiful.

pages from a sketch book making the paintings more intimate. One of the paintings strongest qualities is their simplicity. Their soft lines and muted colours give a tenderness to an otherwise violent sport. Ward is very conscious of symbolism in his work. He uses symbols like the crown, a emblem of dominance in the ring or the hammer and sickle, a very retro symbol. The hammer andsickle was used in the early days to represent evi1 but that use has become dated as the Soviet Union is no longer a threat. Ward says it was through his love of wrestling that he would learn things about the world. Says Ward, “if there was a wrestler from Uganda I would go out and find every book in the library I could about Uganda, or the Soviet Union or any country they said the wrestlers came from even though they probably didn’t come from that country.” Ward’s paintings are powerful indeed. More than makingyou just feel like you are in the arena watching the wrestlers, Ward makes you feel like you are in the ring, feeling the pain of the wres-

tlers. Not physical pain from the moves they put on each other but the deep spiritual sadness Ward demonstrates in his paintings. Things are going well for Ward since his graduation last year. He is now in a studio in downtown Kitchener. He currently has paintings in the Chalk Farm Gallery in London, UK where they have received lots of positive attention. You will-be able to see the continuing evolution of Ward in January when he has his solo exhibition at the Robert Langen Gallery at Wilfrid Laurier University. This exhibition will run from January 5 to January 23. After that Ward will be in the Kokusai Bijutsu Shingikai (International Art Council Exhibition) group exhibition in Kyoto, Japan, in May. As well, some of his works will appear in an upcoming issue of International Artist Magazine. Marshall Ward is certainly one of KW’s most exciting young painters. He makes an unconventional subject beautiful and profound. Hopefully Ward will continue to receive the recognition that he deserves.

roxichord in time with Weiss’ beat, until he eventuallyended upplaying with his butt, It was fun for all. Elliott returned to the stage, but this time he stood under the spotlight and Quasi backed for him. He started his set with “Division Day.” He went on to play a mixture of the more rockin’ tunes off X0 and his previous album, e&e&r. All the songs sounded extremely -. different than on his al bums. They were stripped of all extras and left in their most basic,

he had won them over. The rest of the show astounded all. Elliott Smith began his assault with beautiful lyrics and even prettier guitar. He played “Condor Ave.” relying on the audience to feed him the lines he had forgotten. The highlight of the evening was definitely “Say Yes.” Smith played the song with such emotional delicacy that it brought a tear to my eye. It made the crowd strip away their inhibi-

from the West Coast. Janet Weiss ofsleater-Kinney on drums, Sam Coombs (ex-Heatmiser avec Smith) on “roxichord” and guitar and way *back in the shadows EUiott Smith backed on bass. _I . . . . Coombs’ voice remmded me a little of Sloan but the music was too hard to be classified as pop. Smith left the stage for their finale, and what an END it was, literally. Coombs beat, slapped, and kicked the humped,

through the set, Coombes’ bass puttered out and Smith was left on his own. Whilst all the commotion was going on upstage, Smith began to tell the crowd stories. He laughed at himself for nursing his Mness with beer, and than someone asked his attitude towards cigarettes. Smith cracked the biggest smile I have ever seen, “I don’t recommend them but I smoke ‘em.” “Tee I%ee’s” and “ahh’s” roared through the crowd,

away the fact that he wasn’t feeling up to par. Elliot Smith is an extraordinary singer/so’ngwriter. His songs paint melancholy pictures in,your head, but his voice wraps around you like a warm blanket. ‘l’he B-minute seemed to go by way too fast. . 1’11have to be contented with his performante on this week’s Saturday Night Live. I seriously suggest you all watch it because he’ll make a fan out of you too.

ith colourful flashing lights, animated video projection, and a commanding stage presence, it was in true rock n’ roll fashion when the lead singer from Soul Coughing cried out to his aud.ience “are you all ready to Scream along?” I only wish it was that simple to call Soul Coughing a rock n’ roll band. They certainly displayed traditional rock n’ roll tendencies during “Super Bon Bon,” the last

song of the evening, but up until then I don’t know what kind of .show it was. In support of their new release ElOm,Soul Coughing rolled into the Guvernment last Tuesday evening for a sold out show. Long time fans were treated to one hour and forty-five minutes of music+quaily showcasing each of their three albums. Anyone familiar with the band already knows that the vocals are a uriique blend of spoken word, beatnik poetry, and hiphop. Combine this with a funk driven upright bass, killer sampies, and keyboard wizardry, and you are left with.. . with.. +what? Funk? Hip-hop? Dub? Or per-

haps even the dreaded “altqnative?” I’ve heard that the band loves to play live, apd I know for a fact that their la& tour took them to all corners of the globe (several times). After witnessing (and enjoying) their live performance I understand why. I have been to many concerts, and I have been equally entertained by bands that used elaborate ligh; shows, and bands that were simply themselves. Soul Coughing managed to remain authentic to themselves and simultaneously entertain with elaborate lighting and visual projection. This is a feat that I have seen very few bands pull off well, and without a doubt Soul Coughing was one of them.

A Rankid good time The Rankins Centre

in the Square Cki. 9,1998

he Rankin Family is a thing of the past, but The Rankins are still going strong. Confused? Well, as of the release of their latest album “Uprooted,” the group is officially named The Rankins. Whatever you choose to call them, Jimmy, Cookie, Raylene and Heather

Rankin were in town last Friday for two performances at The Centre in the Square to promote their most recent album. Most of the songs they sung were from the new album including ‘&Movin’ On” and “Maybe You’re Right,” two singles that are currently climbing the charts, and two gaelic tunes called “0 Tha MO Dhuil Ruit (Oh How I Love Thee)” and “An Innis Aigh (The Happy Isle).“Though most of the audience was unfamiliar with the new material, they were still very appreciative.

The pure talent of this group is just amazing. Cookie, Raylene and Heather took turns as the lead vocal and it is impossible to judge who was the most talented. Heather, who appeared to be the most reserved of the three sisters sang their smash hit “NorthCountry.” Raylene’ sang another hit called “Rise Again” with that distinctive finale, which encouraged a member of the audience to shout: “We knew you could hit that note!” Cookie (the most energetic of the Rankins) and Jimmy “Fare Thee Well performed

Love.” But no matter who was in the lead, the rest of the family accompanied in stunning harmony. Jim Rankin, theugh rather lacking in the voice department, wrote many of the songs and deserves a great deal of credit for the group’s success. Though much of their traditional sound remains, The Rankins have changed their style a little with their most recent album. The influence of Jim Rankin (who they hinted would soon be “Movin’ on”) has increased the

amount of crashing guitars, glaring lights and general noise. This new style may be an attempt to draw in a younger audience, but did not fare well with the greyhaired majority who attended the show. But The Rankins really do know how to put on a show. From singing to tap dancing to fiddling they certainly know what to do with all that talent. It’s easy to see why they have sold over 2 million records in Canada alone and are quickly moving into the American market. Best of luck Rankins!

No box of chocolates Little Dieter Needs to Fly directed by Werner Herzog lVOuWo&.21at

lOpm

byMadc5esz Impr/nt SM

hephraseflowedintomy head over and over as I watched this film: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” Apparently Dieter Dengler had no choice but to love it, since he dropped it as a pilot in the U.S. Navy, and then got it dropped on him while a prisoner of war in Vietnam circa 1966. The history of this man unravels more like Forrest Gump than anything else. He witnessed the bombings of Germany in WWII, he travelled to the US to learn how to fly airplanes, he became a U.S. citizen and joined the Navy, he fought in Vietnam, he was tortured, he escaped twice, captured once, bound, beaten, gagged, tortured, and made it home. Werner Herzog’s narration and Dieter’s calm storytelling

gives the movie an eerie feel. Werner reveals himself as a most sarcastic man, cutting up situations and U.S. training footage with equal zeal. However, it is Dieter that is truly awe-inspiring and quite frightening. He talks nonchalantly about how he was tortured like it was a haircut: “They put this rope around my upper arm, like a tourniquet, they put a piece of wood in there and twisted and twisted it until the nerves were cut against

the jungle (“And it wasn’t death that was driving these horses, it was the angles. And I had this vision . . . death did not want me.“) and of his newfound habits (he opens and closes doors twice because to him, “it denotes freedom to be able to open and close a door”). All with a smile on his face, a man that has come to terms with his -past. The story goes on with him retelling the events he went through on the veti spot that they occurred, with Laotians playing his captors.. Haunting slow motion footage of napalm bombings are overdubbed with Vietnamese music, imagines of the people trying to survive, and Dieter talking through it all, only wanting to fly and finding himself against insurmountable odds. And how even still, to this day, he flies through the sky. Littfk Dietw N&ds to fmprlnt file photo F(y is not light viewing in the least, but should be viewed by all to hear the bone. My hand would drop... it was completely unusable for six about the 1ife of a living piece of history, a 1t1:uly amazing man and months. ‘They were just always his craving to be going through thinking of something to do to me.” He also tells of his visions in the clouds.

it’s a good single, with a catchy beat, catchy riffs, and a generous heaping of why-relationships-suck lyrical bent.

That’s why people are going to be surprised by Cake’s newest offerihg, the aptly-titled ProlongingdwMqie. After 1996s Kzsdion iv&et put them in the spotlight with “The Distance,” and a cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” (the rest of the album didn’t suck either), Cake has come back with another solid disc that should keep them in the CD players of assorted fandom everywhere. Even with the departure of guitarist Greg Brown and bassist Victor Damiani, Cake manages to keep their solid folk/jazz/ rock/whatever sound tight and intact. The same themes permeate the album: cars (“Satan Is My Motor”) and crappy relationships (everything else). “Never There” is the first single off the album, and

Other standouts:’ the wistful “Mexico,” “Turn the Screws” (singer/songwriter John McCrea breaks new ground: now he hates the music industry, too), and what is destined to be a classic Cake cut, “Hem of Your Garment.” If you liked F&ion Na~et, pick this up.

by Toks Tawose spdd to /mp//nt Yes she is the new kid on the R & B block. Tatyana, as an artist, will need to fight for her place in the reign of several others stars. Only time will tell what Tatyana is made of. K& the$6 is her first musical debut. This CD’s production was influenced by several artists such as Will Smith and Chico Debarge. But this influence is neutral. For Tatyana, this might make her future a little difficult to predict. The problem is that songs like the second track, “Boy You Knock Me Qut” are comprised of the other artists’ potential but not Tatyana’s. Little of her talents were revealed in songs such as this. The CD’s success is its ability to ‘say’ the things we feel when we are desperately, hopelessly and terribly in love. Kiss the 8& is evidently young, vulnerable, honest, emotionally raw and most importantly, real. The first eight songs are commanding and beckoning, yet childish. The . second half of the CD is playful and rich with imagery. m. .a--.* --I-he whole CIU is about love; iC is pam,. tears, intensity, heights and joys. The last two songs were gracefully soothing lullabies. Her songs were real even when it came to the hardships love carries with it; ietting go, staying sane and learning to lsve again despite the aches and the heartbreak. The originality Tatyana presents will have to be more focused-and expanded. Tatyana has a soft and melodic voice that if properly harnessed would know no limit. Tatyana’s success depends on how far she walks away from overcautiousness. With the right readjustments, Tatyana could not only ‘kiss the sky’, she could touch the clouds and be a star in her own right.

by Mike McKay spe&f tv Imptint Okay, the first listen may have fooled me, and the first track kept me deceived, but after careful consideration I now know that the Phoids were unworthy of my time. In fact, I would go so far as to say that they don’t really deserve anyone’s time. The music is Allman Brother’s-esque, but done poorly. The vocals are almost unlistenable, and I’m only talking about the sound (because the content is simply elementary). I find it hard to believe that a band with so little talent could actually release a second album. Generally I would try to suppoit any ‘up and coming’ new band, but when the band has released their second album (and it’s still crap) I wonder what the point is. My recommendations to the Phoids? 1) Take some time and learn to play your instruments well (especially if you are trying to create something psychedelic), 2) Get voice lessons, or simply find a new lead singer. 3) Step aside and let one of the hundreds of other bands get their chance to make a CD.

There’s a near-black photo of cemetery gates on the cover. Can you can guess what’s inside? Yup, it’s a goth compilation. Before you stop reading in disgust at the music industry attempt’s to take your hard earned mone$ read a bit more. It’s a ‘trendy’ compilation for the want-to-be goths out there, but it’s pretty good. If you are one of those people who likes main stream ‘80s goth music and hasn’t bothered toget a few CDs in awhile, this would be a fairly good CD to start with. I know I’m going to sound like a commercial here. . . it has the standard tracks that you always hear on 102. l’s retro nights (“This Corrosion,” “Every day is HaHoween,” “Rain,” “Desire”). There are some other tracks that you likely won’t have heard from Fields of the Nephilim and Mission UK. Okay, the commercial is over. One thing I can’t understand is why they decided to put Marilyn Manson and NIN tracks on this compilation. Although you might consider their songs goth-like, they just don’t fit with the rest of the CD that was recorded in the ’80s. “Closer” and “Sweet Dreams” stick out likesore thumbs. The album goes from somber, relaxing music to Trent screaming lyrics at you. If you are an actual goth you already own most, if not all, the albums that these songs come from and you have absolutely no use for the dark gate picture on the cover, you either have pictures of gothic architectureor have some on your front lawn. You don’t need this CD. If however you are the rest of the population and you like this stuff then check it out.

Yes, this is a little late, but better late then never, right? Anyhow, I’d like to tackle this album in order. First, why exactly is there 12 missing tracks at the beginning of the album? I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. It didn’t seem to make any sense why that was happening. It was like a teaser or something, where you have to wait 24 seconds for it to skim through to the music. Now we can get to the music. And the music is classic Kern. Screaming vocals, guitars that sound like they just lost chrec strings in the last chorus, heavy base, and a drummer that rivals Animal as far as insanity. Needless to say, this is a killer album, From the opening song build-up “It’s On!” to the heavies “Got the Life,” “Dead Bodies Everywhere,” and HB.B.K.” They

Limp Bizkit (for the rap-meets-Marilyn Manson “All in the Family”) and Tre Hardson from Pharcyde (in the hip-hop number “Cameltosis”). And, continuing the tradition that started with their first album’s song “Shoots and Ladders,” the bagpipes return for the fitting last track “My Gift to You.” Every song is solid, with no weak spots to lose its power or flow. The roller coaster stays at top speed, rarely slowing for anything at all, and slamming into anything in the way. Which only means fun to listen to for everyone. For any Korn fans, this album kicks, and for any hardcore music fans, this is one to pick up. Never hurts to listen.

After a long hiatus, Monster Voodqo Machine are back with a new lineup and a new sound. Gone is the entire band except lead vocalist Adam “Doom” Sew41 and gone is the industrial sound that had MVM in the same category as Ministry. The new MVlOT is taking its music to a new realm the realm of hard rock. From the opening grind of the guitars, this album never losses a step as songs rip from one to another. Fans of the genre may hear similarities to Shallow ND or Sepultura as the wailing vocals and thundering sixstrings showcase MVM’s attitude. There is some polished production to this record as well which helps to heighten the experience. Tracks like “Stealth MF,” “Thorn, n “I Have Seen the Rise,” and “Rats Eye View” will have you banging your head with the best of them.

ground music scene and single-handedly popularized trip-hop in NYC. In 1996, DJ Spooky released his first album, Songs ofa DeadDrEtimerto critics’ delight. rn 1998, he returned to the studio to record his followup album Riddim Waq4zrc which combines musical styles like jazz, funk, alternative and most notably hip-hop. The video game motif extends past the cover art and into the music. Each song is like the next level in the game. *The opening sequence is a collage of sounds ranging from symphonic styles to cheesy video game music. He brilliantly highlights the vocal tracks with introductory pieces featuring what he calls “musicmade from fragments of the world.” However, while most video games save the climax the end, here we get an early surprise with a stellar track, Degree Zero, featuring vocals by Killah Priest of the Wu-Tang Clan who really gets into the groove. This album also features guest appearances by Kool Keith, Organized Konfusion and, surprisingly, a guitar oriented track from Thurston Moore of the Sonic Youth.

Want proof that live albums have improved over the years? Pick up “Live at the Roxy” and discover what live should sound like. .Noc surprisingly that has been the trademark of this album -one of the best live albums ever. What makes it so much better than other live albums you may have in your collection? Let’s try no crazy fading in and out. Another incredible studio feat is that there isn’t the overwhelming crowd noise that has been typical of live albums past and present. Even with keeping the crowd noise down they manage to catch the crowd sung choruses. Social Distortion recorded the album qver three nights at The Roxy in Hollywood. The choice of songs on the album really reflects the band’s entire career. Social Distortion began in the late ’70s and have remained an influential, yet predomi.nantly not mainstream. The release -of “White Light, White Heat, White Trash” in 1996 led Social Distortion in a slightly different direction. The single “I Was Wrong” was included on this album for the new fans of Social Distortion. No doubt, many new fans, myself included, will enjoy the selection of songs from past albums. Both of the covers on this album, “Under My Thumb” and “Ring of Fire” are interesting interpretations of the original songs. Buy it for the songs you know, but you are bound to find a few moq to add to your list of favourite songs.
