round 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 12, a man was walking along the athway leading from Columbia Street I A to Beaxinger Road when he was attacked by another man and stabbed. The victim is a X&year-old UW student, who is currently in Grand River Hospital Kitchener, suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. The victim was not robbed and the

hair worn in a pony tail and glasses. On the night of the attack, he was wearing a blue warmup suit and his height is estimated at 6 feet 2 inches. Given the apparent randomness of the attack, police are asking for public assistance in identifying the suspect. Anyone with information about this incident or who may know someone matching the suspect’s description is asked to contact: Waterloo Regional Police Service at 653-7700, extension 330, or University of Waterloo Police Service at 888-49 11.

A 2O-year-old UW st*udent is in Grand Ever Hospital. reason for the attack has not been determined. His famiIy has been notified, however, and were reported by the police to be staying by his side. UW Police have released a bulletin describing the suspect as a Caucasian male in his early 2Os, with a slight build, shouider-length brown

“There was a suggestion from the undergrad operations committee to start school earlier,n admitted Scott, adding, “I don’t think shortening frosh week ever entered into it.” Ken Lavigne of the Registrar’s Ofice clearedup the confusion. He stated that every year at this time the Registrar’s Office reviews previous calendar dates according to Senate guidelines. This year, he said, the Registrar’s Office “wanted to gauge the support for a different start date. n The suggested schedule had students beginning classes on Thursday, September 7, instead of the usual Monday, September 11, effectively shortening frosh week by at least two days. “Traditionally, there was always a need to have a week-long orientation,” Lavigne com-

mented. He said that the switch from oncampus registration to registration by mail, meant that the full week was no longer as necessary now as it was in the past. He also suggested that “the earlier you start the earlier the finish,” which would mean an early start to Christmas break; The proposal to move the start date of classq up, however, has been met with a nega-

For proposed calendar date changes to occur they must first be approved by the Senate Undergraduate Council, and then the Senate.

uMy understanding is that it is not going forward and will not be on the Senate agenda,” said Scott, “It was not an attempt to change things. It was an attempt to gauge reaction to the possibility. Nothing is changing,” Lavigne said of the largely defeated suggestion. Cheng also didn’t think the calendar dates would change. “The Associate Deans are abandoning it (the suggestion) and they’re the ones that initiated the idea,” she said. The Associate Dean’s and Registrar’s Office representatives both sit on the undergraduate operationscommittee, which initially put forth the calendar change suggestion. Changes to calendar dates are difficult because of restrictions regarding the number of teaching and exam days which must be included, as well as the traditional mid-winter break. “We could always back it up and start [frosh week] earlier,” Scott suggested of the calendar.

Johnstondenies“blackmail” allegation University presidents ask province for $1 billion SAraAn

CRELL~N

recent Globe andMail column claims that David Johnston, along with sevA& ral srher Ontario university presidents, have been “blackmailing” the provincial government. The column has raised a series of questions regarding UW’s handling of the double cohort of students scheduled to arrive in four years. Columnist John Ibbitson wrote that “the presidents of Ontario’s seven largest universi‘tiesn have threatened to cap enrollment unless they are provided with a “$1 billion increase in operating grants from the Ontario government.” The article appeared last Saturday, October 9. UW President David Johnston called the column %n unfortunate interpretation of a conference held the day before.” A press release from the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) reported that “the presidents of Ontario universities gathered at a Queen’s Park newsconference to alert the public to this year’s increase in demand for university spaces and to stress the need for firm fina~~cialcommitments,~ Johnston said that although it is difficult to pin point aii exact dollar figure, the $1 billion figure is not far from accurate. A media spokesperson from the office of Diane Cunningham, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, also commented on the G&e article. “We don’t feel blackmailed,” she said, and stated that the column ywas one reporter’s analysis.” The ministry spokesperson said that they have always had a good working relationship with the colleges and universities. She also said that the Ministry %ouldn’t pbssibly speculate” on what the government would do if universities capped enrollment because it uhasn’t even come close to happening.” Johnston said that a council task force, which was formed to look at enrollment, found

that there would be a “40 per cent increase in Ontario high school graduates in the next decade” while at the same time there has been Ua 25 per cent decrease in funding over the last five or six years.” The council’s press release stated that the need for more funding comes at a time when Ua dramatic first-year enrolment increase of 6+6 per cent has occurred,” considered to be the first wave in an uoverall surge in demand.” Ibbitson’sarticle mentioned another enrollment issue which will soon face universities-the elimination of OAC by the provincial government. The elimination of OAC will mean that a “double cohort” of students will be applying to universities, according to Ibbitson. Capping enrollment would mean that many of these students would have to look to out of province universities, potentially a very costly venture. Johnston told Imprint that “it will be essential to have new additional funding.” He said that UW already has an enrollment cap of

fund. The fund was announced earlier this summer by the provincial government and will contribute $750 million to Ontario universities. The money, however, is for capital spending, according to the COU press release. Johnston stressed that most of the funding needed now is fur operating expenses. Feds VP Education Veronica Chau commented that although she didn’t know whether the President actually gave the federal government the ultimatum Ibbitson alleged, she “wouldn’t put it past the UW president.” “The universities are in dire straits,” she said. ‘#I’m sure the University needs a big injection of cash.” “That’s a good threat to use,” Chau said of the proposed enrollment cap, however she also added “the real people who will suffer aren’t the presidents or the government, it will be the young people.” She expressed concern that many students won’t be able to afford to study out of province. “What makes me un-

Conferencei Mont-Tremblant Feds President takes on Qukbec Premier Saturday. October 16:

he Forum of Federations, a non-profit group dedicated to the understanding and practical application of federalism around the world, broke new ground by hosting an International Conference on Federalism from October 810. Held in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, the conference addressed four principal themes of federalism: Citizenship and Social Diversity’ Intergovernmental Affairs, Economic and Fiscal Federalism and Social Policy and Federalism. The four themes were explored and discussed by over 600 politicians, academics, civil servants and youth. Co-chaired by former Ontario Premier Bob Rae and the former Mayor of Hamburg, Germany, Henning Voscherau, the conference featured three heads of state as well as the heads of all of Canada’s leading political parties. The delegates

Sure beats badTA lectures! listened and questioned noted experts on federal systems and attempted to gain an experienced assessnient of federal governments beside their own, Despite the international and global theme of the gathering, the conferenceWwas soon dominated by Canadian federal concerns. Both the Bloc Qukbecois and the opposing political parties (suprisingly united) led all-out campaigns throughout the week to impress their viewpoint upon conference delegates. One conference delegate described the tension as “being invited over to someone’s house for dinner and then watching as the husband and wife proceed to get into a huge argument.” Political leaders on all sides of the coin looked to showcase their cause, taking away from the actual conference proceedings. The actual conference programme, beyond the standard meet, greet and mudsling, started with a plenary led by Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrktien and Mexican President Ernest Zedillo. Chr&ien, reading his text, offered to the delegates that “we often think that we in Canada are the only federation, that we are they only ones with these problems, these successes.“Attempting to nip the Quebec question in the bud, Chretien moved to rally conference delegates around a flexible,

agreeable federalism -greater than any other system at accomodating diversity. “La federalisme c’est une source d’unite” (Federalism is asource of unity), Chrktien concluded. Other agendas were also vigilantly pursued by political leaders. A representative for Phil Fontaine, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, called away to the emergency in Saint John, deplored the government as “First Nations were ingored at the Constitution table.“The representative / described thatl‘there is nothing here that seems to be a model of democracy or federalism.” Delegates were again put into the line of fire of Canadian politics with a passionate discussion on the lack of settlement of First Nations’ land claims due to the ignorance of their cultural and tribal rights, The representative conntinued his analysis of Canadian federalism noting, “that our [the First Nations] exclusion from citizenship meant that at its base, Canada was undemocratic,” Looking ahead to future negotiations, the Assembly representative believes that “as long as the patronizing, paternalistic, colonial agency of government on First Nations exist, we will be unable to progress.” Interspersed between bouts by Canadian politicians, conference delegates were involved in roundtable discussions, assessing and analyzing the finer details of their own federalisms. Topics included religious diversity, the decline df the nationstate, monetary equalization and indigenous peoples. Noted speakers were brought in from around the world and included party leaders, former heads of states and high-rank. ing civil servants. Other controversial and dynamic sections of the conference included the speeches by both Joeseph Fatal and Lucien Bouchard of the separatist wing of Canadian politics.

Fatal lamented “the silent tragedy of the assimilation of the Francophone people.” Visibly excited Federal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Stephane Dion, Fatal reiterated that “Canadian federalism has not responded to the demands of a Quibec people.” Citing that “the success of a federalism is very much based on its ability to recognize the its cultural _ minorities,” Fatal continued to stress the inability of some federal systems, notably Canada’s, to accomodate dis-

tinct linguistic and cultural rights+ In retort, Federal Minister Stephane Dion noted that “practitioners of federalism focus too largely on conflicts.” Dion feels that “the Constitution is not as bad as we make

“First Nations were ignored at the Constitution table.” federalism must be conducted democratically with respect for cooperation and the rule of law.” The evening banquet was hosted by Qubbec Premier Lucien Bouchard, who took the opportunity to criticize the Canadian federation for their treatment of the Qutbec nation. Bouchard also questioned the decision to host a federalism conference on Qudbec soil, Feds President Christine Cheng, a delegate to the conference, took the opportu, nity to meet with the Premier following his speech and express her frustration at using a fede r.a 1 i s m conference as the vehicle to promote his bitter and destructive message. Cheng’s French words clearly frustrated the Quebec Premier as she expressed her concerns for the Canadian federation. Other federalisms were also represented at the conference. Tommy Thomson, a Republican Governor from Wisconsin, stressed his own agenda that “states require more power” and that “the philosophy of devolution or power to the states” has seen “too much talk and too little action in Washington.” Thomson ex-

plied to a referendum. Steele expressed a notion that “sovereignty lies with the people, and their monarch is not by rule but byconsent.” Buoying dreams of a unilateral declaration of independence for Quebec, Steele has succeeded in providing his people with what he considers “a quasi-federal Scotland, in a quasifederal United Kingdom, in a quasifederal Europe.” con&wed

irst-year students and their families, who arrived for Queen’s University fresh week this year were grreted with signs such as “Go down or go home,” “Welcome to Queen’s, we hope you like cum,” and “Don’t forget your kneepads.” The signs, which were hung up along highway 40 1 and Division Street in Kingston, come 10 years after a similar incident. In 198 9, several signs were hung from residence windows proclaiming such things as “No means now” and “No means harder,” a

He noted that the process of “purpling,” where engineer students dye their bodies purple for the week as an expression of spirit, also makes them more noticeable. Gaudet stressed that the engineering society, EngSoc, did not organize or support the signs. He also said that FRECs, the equivalent of WV fro& leaders, are mandated to undergo “sensitivity training” prior to orientation week. This leaves many wondering exactly why the signs were put up in the first place. Irene

While the UW frosh experience a week of games and activities and learn more about the school, much of the Queen’s week involvqs a good deal of intimidation.

In a recent letter to the editor in The Journal, Justin Dane stated that “there is still no reason to believe that (the signs) are indicative of an epidemic of violent hatred to be ashamed of.” He also wrote that “the original intent of the posters was to simply scare the frosh.” Opponents of this view argue that it does not fit wi th current Queen’s policy.

tudents admitted to Waterloo next year will have a brand new program to consider. The first undergraduate program of its kind in Canada, UW’s new bioinformatics program will combine aspects of computer science with life sciences to process data for both storage and retrieval. Biology professor Bruce Green: the chair of the bioinformatics committee, described the program as a response to the significant increase in wide/v available biological data. To facilitate the introduction ofrhe new degree, W is adding five additional courses and four new faculty positions, in addition to a geneticist and immunologist. The “intense” new program, noted Green, is “really a double major.” Trevor Ray, Math Society VP (Academic) feels that

He’s also troubled by the disparity in the credit requirements. (Students pursuing double majors at UW need 60 half-credits.) While Ray echoed those concerns, he was positive about the program in general. “It’s a great opportunity for incoming students from both Waterloo and Laurier.” More changes are also proposed for the Math Faculty.

he Laurel Creek six-hour Ride is coming! once again, the UW Bike Centre is hosting its annual Halloween Ride-an easy way to score some pretty cool prizes. A 5km loop will be marked out around Columbia Lake and Laurel Creek between Columbia Avenue and Bearinger Road It’s not technically challenging but when it goes through the Biology Reserve things get a little tight and twisty. Ride that loop three times and get your name entered for some great door prizes donated by Cyclepath and other local businesses. Ride the loop seven times and get your name in the grand prize draw: UW Retail Servies has donated an Ecological knapsack (a $75 value) and a $25 gift certificate that you can use at the Bookstore, Artworx or the

’ Computer Store. The ride starts at 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 3 1 and you’ve got six hours to finish. This is a noncompetitive event -you’re not racing against the other riders, just against the clock.

tion forms are available at the Turnkey desk or the UW Bike Centre, SLC 101A, between 9:30 a.m. and 7:OO p.m.,Monday toThursday. Callext. 5174 for more info or e-mail tmharms@uwaterloo.ca.

spent my last,week hammering out concepts of federalism with academics, politicians, civil servants and youth from around the world. Despite the great contributions of all those participating, we kept returning to the pitfalls of federalism both within the Canadian context and abroad, After all this haggling, the question was finally raised: is it really worth it? Why do we stay together if it takes so much work? I met a friend from the Yukon who has waited 150 years since we stumbled upon his people to finally recognize his people’s land and cultural rights, I met a friend who works for the Bloc Quebecois who continues to question why after over 13 5 years since Confederation we haven’t recognized the distinction of Quebec nationhood. I met a Reform Ml? who

the No&&standing Clause really means anything at all, our Constitutional prewbie sums up our cause regardless of race,”pationality, linguistic or cultural difference. Our end is to provide peace, order and good government. All of the distinctions of self-government, distinct society and equality of provinces are secondary to the fact that we are all committed to ensuring and working at a nation that provides us a basic level of democracy, stability and good governance. This is why the Canadian federation still has a chance. Too often in our history we have understood ourselves as a central entity with a few minor distinctions. This paradigm was certainly shared by our founding Prime Minister who saw the provinces as legislatures of little consequence. Instead, we are a sum of our parts united by a common vision to provide similar ends: In the long history of Canadian federatism we have too often focused on arguing on means and not

playing to gooey, feel-go& sentences about being Canadian and understanding cold winters and ice storms, there is logical sensefor our federation. Thenotion that ten distinct entities work together is becausewe have a similar end to meet. Regardless of whether sections9 1 and 92 of our Constitution are unclear, or whether

provinces need to continue to shell out for the provinces that haven’t figuked out their resources are depleted. So, after 132 years, is it still really worth it? The question for me needs to be answered both rationally and emotionally. Without only

our

ends

are

the

same-

Realizing our similar goals I can easily move to recognize Quebec’s distinct society or settle the Yukon land claims knowing that this is in response to the same goal I have, however differentiated for the needs of my fellow Canadians. This is not to simplify situations and donacts but

to admit apossiblecommon ground we have to begin negotiations. So, the logical and rational argument for Canadian federalism rests in that we have similar ends. This ties in nicely with the argument that we c& do better together that which we do alone. Together we hold the resources and the shared knowledge to find the best practices that can accommodate difference, respect autonomy and still meet the same ends. This leads to the emotional argument. Spun nicely by Jean Chretien and Jean Charest and critiqued successfully by Lucien Bouchard and JacquesParizeau, the emotional argument pulls at your heart strings and conjures up notions of sharing warmth on a cold day. Paraphrased as “pulling together when things are falling apart” the emotional argument draws on ice storms, floods and referendas to tell us there is some overarching emotional draw to being a Canadian. While I myself buy into this argument, one would find it difficult to get that Bloc Quebecquois friend of mine feeling aI warm and fuzzy about a shipment of 1 blankets from Ontario. In the end, there is a Canadian logic about federalism-if you believe in a flexible, sum-ofthe-parts kind of Canada. Yet the sacrifices are great-

So, after

13 2 years is there

one Canada?

The answer to this depends on our willingness to reason and change. One Canada is dependent on our ability to commit to F shared vision, uniting us in our ends yet Gcognizing our differentiated means. -Mark A, Schaan ?+ 2

sucks

must extend my congratulations on what must be perhaps the most clueless review ever published. That is an amazing feat, even by Imprint standards. In a mere eight paragraphs, Matt Patterson establishes the following: he constructs the tried-andtrue “straw-man” technique of fabricating a motive for the title of Fred J. Eaglesmith’s CD, and then criticizes Fred and the record company as if this fantasy motive actually existed. Mat-t then attempts to Yeducate” all of us who were, unlike him, born before 1980 about what New Country is. Matt labels Eaglesmith asa UNew Country” artist, ignoring his Canadian Folk roots. Matt then proceeds to criticize Eaglesmith for his choice

of genres, again failing to understand what genre Eaglesmith belongs to. SayJhiscouldbefun-JohnLennon was the most pitiful excuse for a heavy metal musician I ever heard and the Beatles

option to the on-line system is to actually view the hard copy of the postings, which is also quite difficult due to the large volume of students who have to view all the postings in a much shorter period of time than normal. I have

spoken with quite a few members of Co-operative Education and Career Services and no one has been able to provide me with any alternatives to the current Accesssystem that is in place.

Week

To tb&litor, am responding to Peter Chung’s I letter in the October 8 edition of Imprint.

Peter complains

about how

Coming Out Week has the effect of shoving a person’ssexuality into other people’s faces. He also says that he does not understand why people who experience a same sex attraction have

to jump around proclaiming it. I would

like to remind

him that het-

erosexuality is constantly being shoved down our faces in the media. Every time a heterosexual couple goes on a date or engages in a kiss in a movie or TV show, the couple’s sexuality is being shoved down the face of everyone watching. Every couple (homosexualor heterosexual) that holds hands or hugs in public putspartoftheirsexualityondisplay.

Some people might not like it, but in the real world sexuality is a public thing and there is no reason why homosexuals shouldn’t be able to enjoy the same rights in publically declaring their sexuality as

heterosexuals have enjoyed for ages.

tion,n asRTL is “potentially harmful to women. n She also accusedRTL of having “a political agenda.” After visiting RTL’s website (http://home.golden.net/-kwrtl/) and interviewing RTL Representative Pat Schiebel it is clear that these accusations are false. Pat Schiebel assured me that RTL is not and has never been involved politically. Their mission statement states that their goal is: “To promote through education the intrinsic value of all human life from conception to natural death? That includes chastity, infanticide, and euthanasia, not just abortion. I inquired what would be done if a pregnant woman approached them for assistance.“Obviously,” replied Pat Schiebel,“we would not suggest abortion, but we would not show photos of aborted babies either.” RTL would inform them of alternatives such as adoption or encouraging them to contact Birthright or another pregnancy distress centre. Indeed RTL’s numerous pamphlets, books and videos (which can be borrowed for free by anyone) focus on the development of the unborn child, all of which has been proven by science, and not a single one showed a picture of an abortion procedure. No information on techniques for an abortion procedure is given unless it is specifically requested; in which case no photos are shown, only text of a clinical procedure. A few pamphlets point out links behveen abortion and subsequent health effects such as increased risk of breast cancer, all of

Of course,coming from outside of the province makesfinding housing in Waterloo somewhat difficult. Akil called me for help. I went to the housing list in the SLC and there weren’t very many places close the University. I did find one place in south Kitchener that seemed like a reasonable place. I put him in con* tact with the owner.

So everything seemedto be going fine. The owner of the place mailed a copy of the lease to Saskatchewan. My friend got it and mailed it back and assumed everything would be okay.

A gentle wind in Waterloo The super puck may change your life RABIN

STEWART

ost university students don’t spend much time thinking about their aura. In fact, I’m not sure I had ever thought about my aura for more than five minutes until I sat down with Shona Magill. On October 12, I had my first encounter with the super puck. Shona is part of aground-breaking organization called the Gentle Wind Project. Gentle Wind, founded 17 vears ago, researches and develops healing instruments. The healing instruments range from laminated sards, some of the first incarnations crf ahe healing instruments, to the ileaiing puck, the super puck, and a iarger peg-board-like instrument icnown only as Svstem ¶ 0.

ting is a process which brings a sense of wholeness to the individual, used oncv a year or after serious trauma. The founders of the project come from a variety of backgrounds: engineers, social workers, psychologists and so on. Their research is an ongoing project, involving all sorts of activities outside of interpreting the original telepathic impressions. The group focuses b

on making each instrument completely universal, ensuring that the instruments will have the same effect on everybody. When the project was founded, the original members sold all of their possessions so that they could distribute the instruments to as many people as possible at no cost. In the mid-nineties, however, their resources ran out and the instruments are now sofd to instrument-keepers who are willing to pay. The cost of the card was US$325 when Shona first purchased it almost two years ago, while the super puck cost her and her husband US$2,200. Shona seemed mostly unconcerned about the seemingly high cost of the instruments, both because the sale of them has to support the seventeen members of the research group and because she feels that the price may be legitimately higher in order to ensure that only seriously devoted individuals will consider becoming instrument-keepers. So, on to the main event. After about an hour of conversation, I asked Shona to bring on the puck. She brought it out in a green cloth bag, with a velvet cloth covering, The puck, itself, however, was not even close to what I

expected. It was, as the name suggests, shaped and sized very much like a hockey puck. On its sides were two brightly covered plastic ends, screwed down on top of whatever concoction of ethereal elements lay within. The super puck also had a red piece of plastic protruding from one side of it, which is one of the many things that distinguish it from the regular healing puck. As I placed it into my hand, I was starkly aware of its presence there. Trying to focus in on the experience, I can say that there was a definite physical sensation that came with it. I felt a soothing calm move up my arm and across my body as the five minute healing progressed. In that time I was acutely aware of myself, where I was and where I was going. It is now 24 hours after my healing, and I can’t claim that my life has changed at all since, but that is not the idea behind The puck . The changes it brings are gentle and holistic and not necessarily easy to notice. As a committed skeptic about such things, I can in no way attribute anything to my ten minutes with the puck. It is also possible that any sensation or awareness I felt during the experience couId just as easily be a product of my mental state going into the healing. As far as this reporter knows, the super puck could be no more than a hunk of plastic filled with lima beans, but perhaps the ten minutes of self-reflection that I got out of it was worth the $0 I paid for it; I’ll keep you all posted about what happens. This weekend the Gentle Wind project is holding a free open house at 11:30 a.m. at the Church of the Good Shepherd, where anyone can go and receive free healing with System 10. They are also offering a relationship seminar afterwards at the cost of US$45 in advance or US$60 at the door. I will leave you with the words of ShonaMagill, who acknowledges that the relationship seminar, while she feels it would be extremely valuable, may be out of reach of students. She offers a compelling plug, however, in favour of the open house. “What have you got to lose?” she asks. “If I didn’t believe that this brought nothing but positive energy, I wouldn’t be so committed to it.”

The rising sun

ur sun is the earth’s one and only power source. All energy, directly or indirectly, comes from the sun. From the food you eat to the batteries that power your radio, it all traces back to the sun. It is no wonder then, that humans continue to seek out methods to directly capture the sun’s limitless energy. Such is the goal of the Midnight Sun Solar Race Team: co design a vehicle powered only by the sun. There are many benefits to capturing solar energy directly. As the use of solar energy becomes widespread, the burning of fossil fuels and the demand for nuclear reactors decreases, reducing pollution and global warming. In addition, solar cells have no moving parts to break down MidnightSunistheproductdover and require . . I mmlmal mamtenance otherwise. The University of Waterloo Midnight Sun SolarRaceCarProjectbeganinthefallof 1989 and every two years, the team participates in Sunrayce, a solar car’race across North America for collegiate teams. Sunrayce typically lasts ten days, spanning over 2,000 km. Through building a solar car, Midnight Sun provides a unique experience for University of Waterloo students and raises public awareness of solar technology and its capabilities. In Sunrayce ‘99, the Midnight Sun V team won the Team Workmanship Award, as well as a special “Cone Eating” award. (Both UW drivers picked up cones at the qualifier.)

e all deal with losing loved ones differently, but we all share the need to keep their memories with us. Sometimes, the most important things about a person ydu love are quirky or hard to explain to others, but mean the world to you. Memory boxes, scrapbooks and framed displays are wonderful ways of surroundingyaurself with special things that allow you to remember. Memory boxes have long been used to collect belongings and reminders from relationships. The possibilities for these “time capsules” are endless, from elaborate carved wooden cases to the simplest shoebox. Your project should symbolize something shared by you and rhe individual. I have made a wonderful box in my grandmother’s honour out of a favourite cookie tin, filled with recipes, photos of us in the kitchen, and a few wrappers from ingredients that went into our favourite cookies. Also, I’ve added some other things that only she and I would understand which bring a flood of happy memories that are indescribable to others. Oftentimes after a death, we receive letters, photos and printed matter from the person’s belongings. Consider re-uniting years of

the team was during Sunrayce ‘97 in which Midnight Sun IV finished seventh overall out of the thirty-six competing teams. Midnight Sun IValso won the Mechanical Award for Technical Innovation, In October, Midnight Sun will compete in the World Solar Car Challenge (WSC) in which solar cars from all around the world will line up to test their designs and endurance in this unforgiving “first to cross the finish line” race from Darwin in Australia’s north to Adelaide in the south7a total of 3,010 km. With less than five months between Sunrayce ‘99 and the WSC, the team has the experience and is geared for this exciting event. Midnight Sun is the largest student run projectatthe University of Waterloo. Over 100 students contribute their skills and talents to the project every term. The team IOOstudents’efforts. encourages students from all faculties*to pool their expertise and learn new skills at Midnight Sun: The project responsibilities are,broken into seven groups: aerobody, business, mechanical, primary electrical, secondary electrical, solar array and strategy. The business group seeks sponsorships, gives presentations, directs marketing and educates communities. The strategy group plans the race strategy and is vital during solar car races such as Sunrayce as well asvehicle testing. All other groups concentrate on ehe actual production andmanufacture of the solar car. Despite differences in tasks, all Midnight Sun team members value teamwork, gain memorable experiences, and acquire valuable skills. For more, see http://midsun.uwaterloo.d

correspondence in one scrapbook; its amazing how an entire life’s story can be told through letters only after the writer and the receiver’s words are brought together. No doubt, much comfort can be taken from all the subtle nuances revealed from re-reading the narrative of past joys and troubles. There are many inexpensive “shadowbox” style frames that can be finished to suit your style and the type of objects togo in them. In honour of my grandfather,.who taught me how to fish, I assembled three prized lures in a deep frame. A montage such as this is a really effective way to display a few prized possessions from a person’s collection that might be divided between other loved ones. Think how wonderful a mounted single place setting of silverware or a few pieces of jewellery would look in a simple sculptural frame. Of course, our connection to the deceased goes on in our hearts and not in material things, but small tokens of their lives serve as touchstones and reminders of the strength that knowing them has brought to you. For me, creating a permanent display, either private or to show others, is a therapeutic way to deal with loved one’s legacies. May you find peace in quiet contemplation of your creations.

For Godso loved the wo&& that begave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him sbouldnotperish, but have everlasting life.flobn 3:16, NIV)

e come this week to the word Uloved,n which is clearly very importanttothemeaningoftheverse. We will contemplate the character of this love and along with it, the character of the lover. The apostle John often wrote of God’s lovebecausehehadexperiencedithimselfand had became known as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23). In 1 John 4:9-10, he wrote: “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” God showed his love by sending his Son to die and pay the price for our sins, thus satisfying God’s demands for justice. The amazing thing is that God didn’t do this because we had done something for him first or because we were worthy of his love (see Titus 35). His love for us simply flows out of his character, for “God is love” (1 John 4:8). Do you really understand this? Think of how you love other people and the reasons why you love them. We love other people who are lovable, and the people we don’t find lovable we just don’t love. God, however, loves us in spite of the fact that we have nothing

rejudice, bigotry, discrimination, oh my. These are bad* things, right? Can you guess where this is going? Ima@ne some underground, racially intolerant group as an organized, funded entity backed by a reasonable percentage of the Iworld’s population. Would this really be any worse than if, for example, the Southern Baptists took the reigns of power? Perhaps you’ve heard of these people; they are true fanatics, a dying breed on this continent. Look at www.godhatesfags.com if you wish to bear the full brunt of their stunning intolerance. All religion has stemmed, ultimately, from this kind of abject hatred. starts as mistrust for all that are not members of the fold, but as that distinction blurs it stems into detestation for singular groups perceived as causing woe. Or alternately, an old hatred may -be backed up by religion as a reason to punish those who find themselves abhorred by self-righteous theists. I hate to beat a dead horse, but.history is strewn with examples of severe persecution on religious grounds. Most every ‘moral code’ prescribed in a religion decries the killing of other men, but it’s always stunning how quickly these guidelines are waived in the face of territorial disputes or society’s eternal hunt for a viable scapegoat. Witches, homosexuals, and other deviants are popular targets. But public enemy number one is usually another major religion, genocide being a profitable occupation for well-to-do nations. To properly execute such a shocking political action requires the full backing of the people of course, which is where it becomes useful to brand the enemy nation as Children gf Beelzebub or other such nonsense.

in ourselves that is worthy of his love. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 5: 7-8: lLFor scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christdiedforus.” Noneofuswouldbewilling give up our life for someone else, unless there was a very good reason for doing so, but the Lord Jesus Christ gave up his life for us, We read again of this amazing divine love in Ephesians 2:4-5: “But God, who is rich in

--.,

His love for us flows out of his character. mercy, for his great love where with he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, bath made us alive together with Christ.” Every person is spiritually dead and separated from God because of sin. Even in that state, God still loves each one, and everyone who believes in Jesus Christ is lcborn again” with a new spiritual life. What a marvellous thing it is that God shows his love even to the unlovely! Truly he is a great and loving God.

I want to make it clear to you theists: there is no pride in your somewhat reprehensible practices. Throw off your oppressive mental chains, and face reality with dignity and acceptance. Why is it some people are so shaky on the topic of belief? So often I hear, “Well, I don’t go to church, but I figuke there must be a God.. .” Why? Just let it go! Isn’t missing church grounds for eternal damnation? If only there was some sort of atheism’ patch to slowly and gently redeem the fallen, The illogic which abounds in the most intelligent of people never ceases to surprise me, and 1 can only blame their upbringing. Is it really so comforting to believe in some immense sentient force ruling the universe, capable of smiting anyone at any time? If I saw any evidence to support such a concept, I’d be bloody terrified no matter how benevolent people assured me it was, even if I’d been agood little believer. The entire premise is ludicrous. So I implore you once more, forget your gods with their empty promises. Not all atheists are cynical, smug bastards. They care and have hope for the future and like to pick daises in grassy fields just like you. Don’t let your priests tell you otherwise. “Today, I believe that I am acting in accordancewith the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” - Adolf Hitler (Reichstag speech, 1936) Next week: the evolution debate. Can I cram sufficient mockery of creationism into a mere 5 00 words? Be sure to read and find out! (Stand up for yourself, dam&!

irst up: a bogus joint. That’s the first hurdle researchers must jump after being given the green light for clinical trials of medical marijuana. Health minister Allan Rock announced on October 6 that Health Canada plans to “spend several million dollars” financing the trials and long term research of pot smoking as being therapeutic. The government release said that the clinical trials will involve 250 patients in a “double-blind, randomized design.” Cannabis to The “double-blind” tests will give one test group the actual medicinal marijuana and the other group will receive a fake supplement. By doing this, the effectiveness of the drug will be determined. It is believed that m+c?I marijuana will help HIV and AIDS patients by relieving the effects of both the illness and the drugs used to fight the illness. Specifically, it counters nausea and vomiting, and the wasting syndrome which is basically adrastic reduction

in one’s appetite. Despite an immense amount of research already completed by several other countries and the World Health Organization, Hedth Canada notes that “ividence of potential therapeutic effectiveness Qf marijuanais heavily anecdotal and inconelusive.” With the “double-blind* testing, researchers are hoping to have a new and better way to study medical pot use. Currently5 there are two commercially available drugs which are related to marijuana: dronabinol (bra.ndnameMARINOL) which contains chemithe rescue.. . cally synthesized THC; and a synthetic cannabinoid, nabilone (brand name CESAMET). Both drugs are available with a physician’s presription (damn). The Canadian HIV Trials Network

his titicle goes out to beer drinkers everywhere. Yessir! It’s about beer. You know, what with Oktoberfest and all. The first Oktoberfest was part of a wedding celebration in 18 10, when Bavarian King Max Joseph gave a big time wedding party for Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I. The Oktoberfest we know today evolved over time and incorporated a number of different traditions. Now to the beer. Beer starts with hops, which is a vertically growing vine whose flowers are used as the bittering agent in beer. It also increases the beer’s aroma and its shelf life. Of course, if you are worried about the latter aspect, you are obviously not a true beer drinker and so please stop reading this article. Hops is a perennial vine with a surface plant that dies every winter and regenerates from the root stock every

spring.

The

Once malt extract and bittering hops are added to boiling water, the liquid is known as beer wart. With the addition of yeast, wart is fermented, finally giving us the product we routinely crave, honour, cherish, revere, idolize and bow to-no, not orgies (even though it’s a good educated guess) -beer. ~m&&&h &&jps from the Spalt region of Germany.

Sticks andSteins - Western wins it all icking up sticks rather than steins, eight hockey teams hit the ice for the 17th P annual Oktoberfest University Hockey Tournament. Along with the Warriors, teams from Laurier, Conestoga College, the University of Windsor, Ryerson Polytechnic, the University of Guelph, Western and Detroit’s Wayne StateUniversity all skated towards being number one. Game one for the Warriors was held at Columbia Lake and it was against Conestoga College. With a slow start, Waterloo scored late but was able to take a 2-O lead. .The second period showed the Warriors in full armour as they took a commanding lead with four early goals. Conestoga was able to score one goal on a power play but that would be their only goal of the game. Waterloo scored once more in the third period to make the final score Waterloo 7, Conestoga 1. The second game was versus our OUA rival, the University of Western Ontario Mustangs. With some players out, including one who was injured in the first minute of play and one who was ejected in the second period for a hitting-from-behind penalty, Waterloo struggled to keep up with the raring Mustangs.

Western scored two goals in the first period, one in the second and two more in the third. Waterloo rallied back in the third period with tour goals, but it was too little too late and Western skated to avictory. Western 5, Waterloo 4. Game three saw the Warriors pitted against our neighbours from the south. Wayne State University took the ice in the game that would decide third place. Waterloo, however, was not ready to lose and they shot out onto the ice. The first period saw Wayne State score once, but the Warriors came back to score three power play goals. Poor play by the Warriors in the second period allowed Wayne State the opportinity to score another goal, reducing the Warrior lead to 3-2. Unwilling to give up, the Warriors shut out Wayne State in the third period, scoring two more goals of their own to finish 5-2, taking third place in the tournament. Rob Marie, a defenceman for the Warriors, was also named to the all-star team for the tournament. Marie studies Environmental Science and is a Kitchener native. $Vinning the tournament was the Western Mustangs who battled it out against Ryerson. The final score of that game was Western 6, Ryerson 3 and it proved that Western will be the team to beat in the upcoming season. Having missed last year’s OUA playoffs, the win at

Oy mate, want to meet after the game for a few beers? the Oktoberfest tournament sets the season off on a good foot for the Mustangs. After the Mercyhurst tournament on October 16 and 17, the Warriors have a quick rest before facing Brock for the regular season opener in St. Catharines on October 22. After the game against Brock, the Warriors will be travelling to Toronto to face Ryerson. The first

home game for the Warriors will be on October 29 against Laurentian. Wish us luck for the regular reason! The team itself is looking good this season, even though they are already missing a few players due to injuries. Hopefully the team will be up and running fully soon and it is sure to be another exciting year on the ice!

Waterloo unable.to stop Mustang machine

n a game that should have been ours, the WaterlooV@arriors lost a hard fought battle to the Western Mustangs.by a margin of only three points. University Stadium hosted the game of the season as Western traveled to face the only team that has beaten them in the past four years. Old man Albert was limited to two laps around the track as Waterloo’s mighty defensive line showed their play-stopping ability many times during the day. Offensive player of the day was Waterloo’s Quarterback Ryan Wilkinson. He managed to move the ball a distance of 255 yards, 119 of which he ran himself. He had more yards rushing than Eddie Kim or Mike Bradley. Wilkie’s longest run was a S 7-yard sprint late in the fourth quarter. His favorite passing targets were Chris Kreibich and Dan Donovan. Defensive players of the day were Chris Wolf, Daryl Tharby and Chris Waymouth, who had a combined total of I4 individual tackles and 16 a&tedtackles. DB Mike Laporte showed everyone who was boss when he drilled through Western’s defensive line and sacked QB Mike O’Brien on a play which lost Western eight yards. With 6:25 remaining in the second quarter, a Western penalty added 15 yards to Mike Bradley’s first-down run and put the ball on the 54-yard line. After another set of great plays, including

a X-yard

pass to Chris

Kreibich

and

rushes by both Eddie Kim tid Mike Bradley, the ball was ori the-G&-yard line. In keeping with the spirit of last week’s game against York, Ryan Wikinson ran the ball into the end zone for a touchdown. After a perfect convert by Tony &ha, the score was 12-8 for Western,

The phrase “NO guts, no glory” was to be redefined by Waterloo coach ChrisTriantafilou as he proved his confidence in his team. He allowed. them the opportunity to go for five yards during the third down on their M-yard line. Mike Bradley did not let him down as he punched through the line and regained the first down. With less than a minute left in the second quarter, Western’s quarterback called the play and was grabbed by two Waterlod defenders, who had blasted through the line. Fans watched as he unbelievably shook both of them off and passed for Western’s second touchdown, Western’s Fabian “butterfingers” Rayne fumbled the bal1 twice, on two consecutive plays! To the dismay of the black and gold fans, Western recovered the first fumble on Waterloo’s three-yard line. Daryl Tharby proved that Western’s offense would not be so lucky. In a moment which defensive football players live for, he captured possession of the ball and saved Waterloo from another Western touchdown, Penalties were a critical factor in last Saturday’s game as Waterloo racked up ten penalties for anet loss of 68 yards. Four continuous infractions caused Waterloo to give up a twopoint safety at 759 in the first quarter, However, the Mustangs’ bad-tempered players were punished by the referees 13 times, losing them 137 yards. At 11:22 into the fourth quarter, after Ryan Wilkinson scored another touchdown, Waterloo attempted a two-point conversion. Sadly, they were bluntly stopped and the score was 20-17 for Western. At this moment, you could hear the sweat dripping off the nervous Western players. They knew as well as everyone in the stadium that Waterloo was not a team you show up to face knowing you were

Hey, number one, pass meyour phone number! going to beat. With less than four minutes left in the game, the Waterloo Warriors were very much capable of winning the game. Warrior fans continued to show their undying faith in their team as they chanted louder than ever. At 14:40 into the fourth quarter, the black and gold offensive line had pushed the ball from their one-yard line to the 34-yard line, The fans were- already giving the Warriors a standing ovation, Unfortunately, everyone knew the

f someone asked me, “What is rhe difference between Vincent McMahon’s World Wrestling Federation and the sport of boxing?” the answer would be a one word quote from one of Canada’s great comedians, Dave Broadfoot. The response, “Exactly!” The truth must be told, boxing has become a farce and an event that makes the WWF seem credible in comparison. And with the spectacle witnessed in Seattle, Washington, the sweet science has turned a little sour in the taste oi many fans. In the “tradition” of BillieJean King and Jimmy Connors, boxing had its version of the Battle of the Sexes on October 8, 1999. This four-round debacle featured hometown favourite Margaret McGregor and Loi Chow, a jocker, who had no boxing experience wharsoever. The result was a match tha: featured more dancing than a two hour lesson at an Arthur Murra; school., ir seemed that Chow co& oniy make two effective pun&s while for the rest of the time, he jut seemed to smtle and bounce all ave. the ring. As for McGregor, she wa throwing and connecting on man: punches, although none of therr seemed to do any damage. In the end, McGregor won all four rounds and sailed to a very easy victory over Chow, But does this prove tha?

women are better than men at boxing? Of course not, for McGregor’s opponent had no skill in pugilism.

Himalayans host show at Bombshelter

irections to Craig Cardiff’s rehearsal space: Up the stairs; three flights. Turn left and notice the boxes. Lots of boxes; square. Find the door, and there you are. Behind it lurks the home of profoundly good music. It is the rehearsal space of Craig Cardiff and the H imala yam. In the past few years, musician and all around nice guy Craig Cardiff has become a mainstay of the Waterloo music scene. Recently, Craig has divided his musical efforts into two different groups; his own solo work, and the trio Craig Cardiff and the Himalayans. P a u 1 Mathew, on both upright and electric bass, is an incredible musician. He plays with real style and taste that only begins to show the talent that he has. His upright bass work is excellent, adding a much warmer texture to Craig’s songs. Drummer Paul McGinnis wears many hats in the group. He not only turns in some excellent performances on the new record, but also works as promoter for the Himalayans. In a town dominated by singer/songwriters, Craig Cardiff and the Himalayans are fresh, interesting and engaging. A look at the group’s bio reveals a number of words that attempt to describe his music: geekpop, folkfujun and jazzhop. However, the best description of the Himalayans is “open ears.” On the heels of the Himalayans’

release, The Great American White Trash Novel, Craig and Paul McGinnis were able to sit down and chat with Imprint about several things, including the new record and their ‘latest project, a vaudeviliian showcase of comedy, poetry, and music. Paul Mchnis should be commended for such an mbitious experiment, since is difficult to garner live music attendance in Waterloo. Althotigh there are many successful groups with a great deal of real talent, the crowds that turn out to see them are minimal. “We’ve got twenty thousand people in a floating population, and what are they listening to?” Craig asks. “They’re listening to Hootie and the Blowfish, wearing t-shirts that are too tight ,and drinking until they pass out or vomit? But don’t get the wrong impression about Craig Cardiff; his attitude towards local music is very positive. The-simple fact of the matter is that the turnuut at live venues has been consistently weak. There is clearly no shortage of talented musicians, just a shortage of audiences. Craig explains that the area boasts “a bevy of musical talent,” but adds that few can make a living as musicians, “For the most part, people have day jobs, but they all have music at heart.” Always the proactive performer, Craig and drummer Paul McInnis have co-ordinated an evening of diverse entertainment in an attempt to

try something new. “For the longest time, Paul has been trying to put something together that used mixed media in a non-stop show.”

“People are kind of sick of going out to see the same thing,” explains Craig, so their intent is to create something truly different from the standard rock con’cert. The group

The Return of Rawk R

ock is being revived. Not “rock” ‘n the sense of those wimpy “alternati& groups currently ruling the airwaves, but the trashy, explosive, low-fi variety that relies just as much on attitude as musicianship. Not that it ever really went away, mind you. But recently a small army of bands have surfaced, all of whom seem hell-bent on saving our souls from MOR purgatory. With rock-based artists like Guided By Voices, Sleater Kinney and Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters now putting out more polished, pop-oriented records, it’s up to the small army to offer up a style of music that borrows from classic examples like MC5 and the Rolling Stones, but still maintains a fresh energy of its own. So who are these bands? Some of them can be found not far from home. Toronto-based Danko Jones came out of nowhere about two years ago and met with murmurings surrounding their live shows. A laidback (and rather sinister looking) rhythm section fires up the manic songs, propelled by a strutting Danko himserf (that’s theMango Kid to you). A ten-minute, five-song E.P. is the only documentation of the band’s sound thus far, and it seems like The Mango Kid prefers it that way. Audiences tend to either love or hate Da&o’s self-important posturing, but

As a venue, the Warehouse offers little in the way of “visual entertainment.” The walls are black and very dimly lit. The eerie blue lighting of the coolers drew crowds waiting for the show to over-priced beer like moths to streetlights. Clearly the Tuesday night crowd was anxious to hear pretty much anything live, so when, Fleming and John arrived on stage, the crowd was appreciative of their presence. They could have stood up and read poetry. In fact they maybe should have, considering the quality of their music. Maybe 1 just don’t like high-pitched music, but it seems talented female singers are a dime \ a dozen. Frankly, while their music was live, the distraction of the wires shorting creating ear piercing pops and Fleming’s high pitch wail was enough to give me a headache. Train has been getting reasonable radioplay with their song “Meet Virginia” on their new self-title album and proving their lasting power they played two other songs, “Days” and “Train,” before playing the single.

with their presentation of Benjamin Britten’s WarRequ&n. Britten, an outspoken pacificist, wrote the requiem as a statement about the bloody wars of the twentieth century. The piece, regarded as one of this finest choral works of the century, sets the poetry of W&d Owens along side the Catholic mass for the dead. Since its premiere, the piece has captured the attention and admiration of people from around the world. “It caught the public imagination to an almost unheard of degree,” noted a critic of the time. The Phil will be joined by the K-W Philharmonic Youth Choir, the K-W Symphony, and three exciting solists. Soprano Heidi K&en, tenor Paul Frey and baritone Mark Pedrotti, who have all wowed K-W audiences in the past, will add their expertise as soloists to the performance. Owen, a lay minister and tutor, was active as a poet before the breakout of the first World War and was killed in action seven days before its end. His poetry has since been recognized as some of this century’s best. Britten, who had long admired Owen and had several friends and colleagues who died in the war, was an ardent pacifist. He once referred ta the bombing of Hiroshima as a ‘%avage atrocity? The performance, which opens the Philharmonic’s season, is slated for this Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Centre in the Square. Rush seating is available for $5 at the box office on the night of the concert. If you have not experienced the magic of this wondrous piece or the Philharmonic before, this weekend will be a perfect opportunity.

songs Life the most part, catchy and very radiofriendly. Tunes like “Step on it, Go!” and the opener “What’s Wrong” are pretty darn snappy. The band does their best Radiohead impression on “Redlight.” Tight pop hooks are backed by solid drums and guitar solos that stop before they get annoying. Top it all off with clean production, and the album is ready-for mass consumption.

The only real problem is that while this is a decent enough album, it contains nothing that we haven’t heard before. The song structures are formulaic and predictable. At times, the potential for something more daring is hinted at, but that potential is left unrealized, Singer Chance has a strong voice on the more energetic songs, but it leans towards whiny on a few of the slower ones. However, he isno worse than most singers on the

Stirring thingsup Every once in a while a great soundtrack comes along. It captures the spirit of the film so that you feel like you are watching the film as you listen to the soundtrack. The Stir of Echoes OST is not that soundtrack. StirofEchoes is a perfect example of the state of soundtracks today. Nowhere is the laziness of film producers more apparent than on soundtracks. Soundtracks are aquickeasyway to make more money from a movie; just throw some big name artists on, maybe a bit of the score and voilP, instant money maker. That’s basically what the producers of the StirofEchoes soundtrack have done. The songs themselves aren’t that great. There are previously released tracks from Moist, Wild Strawberries, Beth Orton, Poe and others. They are all okay songs but none of

them are really remdrkable. At best they made me want to go out and buy the artists’ CDs so I could hear the songs without having to sit through all that derivative scary movie music. The only song that stands out is Gob’s cover of the Stones’ classic “Paint it Black.” Not since Marilyn Manson covered “I Put a Spell On You” for the Lost Highway soundtrack has there been such an unnecessary and boring cover of a classic. _ Points go to the producers for at least in&ding some of the score on this CD. Too bad the score just sounds like every other horror movie score. There are quiet eerie moments followed by jolting look-Ma-I_ ~ can-make-theaudience-jump moments+ If you really want a good soundtrack check out anything from a Wim Wenders movie or even the recent Stigmata soundtrack, don’t throw your money away on this waste of time. To take a line from Linda Richman, the Stir ofEchoes soundtrack is not stirring and it doesn’t really echo.
