CSISmoles infiltrate universities MARK

T

he Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has won extended powers to procure human sources in the event of an emergency on university campuses.

many feel the actions of CSIS should be regulated by the courts and not by either the Solicitor General or the CSIS Director.

Essentially, CSIS has always had the power to recruit human sources on Canadian university campuses* A human source is an investigative tech-

McCourt is always suspicious of agencies like CSIS, as they tend to attract fanatics.

Granting the Director of CSIS the authority to act without the consent of the Solicitor General in the event of an emergency, the recent government decision has come under fire by those advocating a free exchange of academic ideas without restriction.

While the decision still ensures CSIS’ actions at universities are accountable and meet guidelines,

nique only used by CSIS when absolutely necessary and involves the recruitment of informants on campuses.

Previously, any procurement of human sources required the explicit consent of the elected Solicitor General. The-change allows the Director of CSIS to act on university campuses without consent in the event of an

emergency on the understanding he will inform the Solicitor as soon as possible.

Dan Lambert, a CSIS spokesperson feels the fears of CSIS on university campuses are unfounded.

Lambert feels the service’s role is often misunderstood.

‘7ZSIs has an act which is crystal clear.” The CSIS Act was established by the government in the 1960s. The Act dictates rhat CSIS “shall collect, by investigation or otherwise, to the extent that it is strictly necessary, and analyse and retain information and intelligence respecting activities that may on reasonable grounds be suspected of constituting threats to the security of Canada.”

Lambert stressed, in prepared phrases, that CSIS is prohibited from investigating “activities which constitute lawful advocacy, protest and dissent” and that the service is dedicated to seeking out “terrorism and espionage.”

Lambert defined these activities as “politically motivated

destructive violence or undeclared foreign intelligence aimed at procuring classified information. n Despite CSIS’ insistence that they have a strict accountability regime, many faculty members fear that aca-

demic freedom is restricted by the threat of a CSIS presence on campuses, .Fred McCourt, President of

the University of Waterloo Faculty Association, feels that there is “no hational imperative for such activities on any campus. I cannot even begin to imagine what CSIS could be attempting to gain by moving onto Canadian campuses.”

Lambert counters (in an answer worded identically to the one given to the National Post) that “CSIS is very sensitive to the special role of the university in a liberal and free socieqY However, Lambert notes, the “university can not be a sanctuary for terrorists?

CSIS is generally concerned that the university might become a/ hotbed for “individuals wanting to view Canada as a basis for terrorist activity.”

It is these motives that concern academics and faculty associations like the one at UW. The UW Faculty Association agrees with the Cariadian Association of WniversityTe&hers that “decisions on source operacontinued

ECS.Online: eagerly anticipated, much delayed, and surrounded in controversy.

This is the computer system that will allow co-op students to browse and apply for jobs on the web, replacing the Access system. Promised “next year” since 1998, it is one of the most delayed systems on campus.

Since the beginning, CECS.Online has been surrounded in controversy as students wonder what Co-op could have done to make the system appear sooner and better.

The good news is that the system will arrive, eventually. The bad news is that when is still not decided yet.

“We know it won’t be January,” said Dave Thomas, Co-operative Education and Career Services (CECS) Associate Director of Systems and Administrative Services.

In light of the current problems with Access, many students feel CECSDnline is overdue. Access, the current text-based system, is not yet YX compliant.

“I was told it would be ready for testing at the end of October, n said Thomas.

CECS.O’nline soundsgood, but so far all of this has been promised and nothing delivered. The system was originally started early in 1998 for general roll-out in the fall term of 1999 (this term). This summer Coop officials announced that the system is not ready and that they “did not want to risk making a [time] commitment to implementing software that is not yet completed.” co-o : AS1 cause B delays

Access was introduced in 1993; even then it was seen as outdated technology, once called “‘80s technology in a ’90s system.” It presents students with a series of text-based screens that they have to navigate to find and apply for jobs. The students still have to create and photocopy paper r&urn& that are dropped into boxes in Needles Hall.

All that will change with CECS.Online.

A joint project between CECS, IST, and Academic Software, Inc. (ASI), the new system is going to be fully paperless and web-

apply to will automatically receive one of up to three different r&urn& and a customized cover letter. Finally, offers and rankings will all be listed on the web.

Many students have expressed concerns that the r&urn6 page will not allow them to duplicate their r&urn6 online. According to Thomas, thisshouldn’t be aconcern. “We went out and picked fifty r&urn&s.

Generally speaking we could emulate the r&urn6 styles.” In a demonstration of the system, he showed that students can use thousands of

According to Thomas, the delay was caused by the developer of the system, ASI. Thomas says that Co-op was ready to “ramp” production of the system last winter when AS1 was purchased by the Tribune mediacompany. ASI’s work on CECS.Online suddenly ceased, to the great frustration of Co-op staff.

“Things were going well,” said Thomas.

Then ASI slowed down development.

“What happened is they were bought out by Tribune.

That had a negative impact on our development, We were right in the

thick of the project. There didn’t seem to be the resources to pull it through,” lamented Thomas.

The impact was major, forcing UW’s CECS.Online team to stall and move onto other projects for much of the summer and part of the fall.

Resources on the university’s end were not an issue, Thomas noted. uThere was a commitment from the University of WaterIoo to have ad, equate resources at our end to keep up with the development,” resources that the university has yet to draw fully on due to the delays from ASI. Co-op and IST staff visited ASI’s offices in Avstin Texas this week to push the company forward and to finalize the specifications for the scheduling system in CECS.Online.

“I think our people are doing their best to move it along,” said UW Vice President (Academic) and Provost Jim Kalbfleisch, who sits on the review commirtee.

UW’s contract withAS does not include penalties for late delivery. According to Thomas, “the only pencontinued

Stabbing suspect apprehended

awrence Michael Pogany, a first-year science student, is accused of stabbing a second-year UW student around midnight on Tuesday, October 12. The 20-yearold is facing a charge of attempted murder. The victim, from Sault Ste. Marie, has been released from Grand River Hospital’s intensive care unit.

Around 4 a.m. last Friday, a search warrant was executed at the Renison College residence where Pogany lived. Pogany was arrested shortly afterwards.

The Oakville native is alleged to have attacked the victim while he was walking along a path near Bearinger Road and Columbia Street. According to Staff Sgt. Matt Tori&n, a few words were exchanged between the two, after which Pogany allegedly

for quick arrest

stabbed the other person. The victim then ran to Bearinger Road where a motorist picked him up and took him to the hospital.

Twenty-year-old -- Pogany is facing a charge of attempted murder.

According to the court, Pogany has made two appearances and was denied bail on both occasions. His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, October 22, at 9 a.m. The court told Imprint that Pogany had not yet retained legal counsel.

Assistant Crown Attorney Steve Paciocco was assigned to the case on Wednesday.

He

refused to comment on the case, due in part to ‘not yet having had a chance to familiarize himself with it.

Torigian stated that a tip from someone at the university lead to the search warrant.

The attack was apparently unprovoked and Pogany did not know the victim.

Pogany, described by The&o&s “dazed” during Monday’s court appearance, wore a red shirt and blue jeans; his brown hair was tied back in a ponytail. .

Renison College Residence Director George Ferris said that the college had no intention of making any formal statement about the stabbing.

According to a student in Pogany’s Biology 230 class, he “didn’t seem dangerous,” and “joked around a lot,” but told several members of the class he could not drink or smoke because he was “on medication.”

“Everything was fine until this happened,” added the student.

Feds opt to eliminate VP1 A Spedial general meeting to decide future of executive SARAH CRELLIN hqpnhf staff

I

f you’re looking for the Feds’ Vice President Internal next year, you probably won’t find one. Efforts to make the organization more efficient have lead to yet another restructuring of the executive, which will see the positions of VP Student Issues and VP Internal amalgamated under the VPSI title,

the executive or create a new part-time position and amalgamate the VPI and VPSI positions.

Risley said that the reshuffling option would have resulted ina”patchworkjob.”

“We could not think of a way to make it work,” he emphasized.

Instead they decided to elimiate the VP1 position.

“Lots of other universities have an issues position,” he said, citing McMaster as an exam-

Clubs will be taken out of the VP1 portfolio and transferred to a hired, part-time Clubs Commissioner. according to current VPSI Jason Risley.

The decision to amalgamate the two p&itions came on the tail of a report which Risley gave to Students’ Councit last month. The report stated that “next year the portfolio FPSI] will not contain enough work to justify a full-time position.”

To remedy the situation Council decided to assign a committee to examine the issue.

The committee, Risley said, first examined the responsibilities of the VPSI and decided to eliminate those which were being duplicated.

The remaining issues, according to a recent report by the committee, were “services, nonacademic education and referrals.”

The committee was then faced with two restructuring options: reshuffle the duties of

ple. The committee decided to keep the services title because it more accurately describes what the new position will be about.

Amalgamating the two positions however, was not the end of the committee’s recommendations. They also suggested clubs be taken out of the VP1 portfolio and “transferred to a hired, part-time Clubs Commissioner.”

“We decided it wasn’t enough to justify a-full time position but it was still important enough that we wanted it to be paid attention to,” Risley said.

The Clubs Commissioner, Risley told Imprint, will take on all administration of campus clubs. Club administration includes looking after club days, club packages, meetings and committees. The Clubs Commissioner will hold office

hours in the clubs room and “they’ll answer to somebody who is directly accountable,” Risley said/The VPSI will be monitoring them and that’s who they’ll answer to.”

“I’m really happy with this - it’s very nicely packed -it has a lot of strength behind it,” Risley commented on the proposed changes.

He said that previous club administration took about 20 hours per week of the VPI’s time.

With the addition of a hired club administration position, the VPSI of next year will have more time to deal with all of his or her other duties, including looking after services, volunteerism, publicity, referral services and awareness weeks.

There has been some question about the amount of work the new VPSI position will entail, however, and whether it will be too much.+“That was my main concern,” Risley agreed. He said that after talking to Chris Harold, the current VPI, he decided the work load was reasonable.

Risley added that “the position 1 leaves some room for personal projects and new innovation” as well. “It is tightly packaged but not so packed it will be constricting,” he said.

For the package to become a reality, it must first approved by the student body. A special general meeting has been scheduted for November 25, at 7 p.m. in the SLC multipurpose room.

Risley said the Feds hope the new change, if approved, won’t confuse students too much, Although he said “initially there may be a little bit of confusion,” he also stated that students don’t usually know who they want to talk to anyway and have to be directed by the secretary.

Flu vaccinations more important than’ ever MARK

e eaves have fallen, midterms are upon us and flu season is just about to begin. That’s right, “evil” germs are descending upon our campus to attack our ‘immune systems and render us incapable of completing our assignments and enjoying the last of our term.

There-is hope: flu vaccinations are being offered in an attempt to curb the effects of the flu within the university community.

Health Services is encouraging people to “get wise, \ immunize.”

To this extent, they will offer flu vaccinations starting today, October 22, as well as October 29 and November 12.

Health Services Medical Director Dr. Barbara Schumacher said the issue is “that in

last year’s winter term, students were hit particularly hard by flu, missing a couple if not more weeks of school.”

Although many students are not considered “high risk” for contracting the flu virus, the effects of “living in close quarters with highdensity populations and suffering from sleep deprivation, significant caffeine or alcohol intake” makes students highly susceptible to the virus, says Schumacher.

Oktoberfest hits Waterloo Students party Bavarian-style ccording to Oktoberfest officials, this year’s festival went well. Oktoberfest A xecutive member Larry Blundell admitted that “nothing goes smoothly,” but this year’s festival saw few mistakes and was enjoyed by almost everyone in attendance.

Attendance was up from last year, specifically at the parade on Thanksgiving Monday; festival organizers say this is because of the

Students were impressed with the festival but not with the price of beer. “great” weather. Souvenir sales remained about the same as last year which is significant, considering that last year was the 3 0th anniversary of the Oktoberfest celebrations.

Oktoberfest was originally started in Munich, Germany, with the wedding of King Ludwig I and his bride, Princess Therese von Sachesen-Hildenburghausen.

The National Guard wanted to celebrate the event and proposed having horse races. This is actually the unlikely beginning of Oktoberfest, and celebrations continue annually in Germany.

In 1969, the Founding Fathers of K-W Oktoberfest witnessed the celebrations at the Concordia Club in Kitchener and saw this as an excellent opportunity to have a civic festival to celebrate local German Canadian heritage.

Their idea launched the largest Bavarian festival in North America.

Most of the students who attended the Thursday evening University Nightat theAud, a.k.a . , Oktoberfest-ist 17 II 1 were impressea KarlsDurgnaus, with the festival but not with the price of beer.

“It’s too high,” one student commented as he picked up two from the bartender. The cheapest beer was $3.75, with everything except pop

being over that. A spokesperson, who preferred her name not be used, said that the student night Oktoberfest events at Bingemans

wunderbar, were “well attended,” On the roads, police checked 5,447 vehicles during the festival. Sergeant Greg Fiss said that police administered 134 roadside tests,

handed out 38 l&hour suspensions, three. impaired driving charges, 20 over-8 0 charges and one refusal to provide a sample and three other liquor offences. The roadside tests are up slightly from last year, but the number of impaired charges are down from last year’s nine.

As for next year, there are changes already set in place.

“We always do other things each year,” said Dave Blundell who admitted that Oktoberfest officials ae trying to get Yt’s About Time” for next year’s festival.

Yt’s About Time” is a science and technology program which tells the history of time with several museums and events.

Plans are also underway to alter the Oktoberfest web site. The web site is currently available at http://www.oktoberfest.ca.

Souvenirs can still be purchased at Hans Haus, located at 17 Benton Street, Kitchener.

The souvenir coins that you may have been given are still legal tender in K-W until the end of October.

Village II+ t in the works EMILY

COLLINS

P

lans are currently in the works to build a new residence.

Set to open in September, 2001, “Village Three” will be built between Ron Eydt Village and Village One. According to Federation of Students VP Internal Chris Harold, the new residence is being constructed because there was a significant number of first-year students that did not get into residence this past year.

UW Direaor of Business Operations Bud Walker confirms that the reason for the building of Village Three, which will actually have a different title due to the absence of a Village Two, is a result of “the low number of residence rooms available for first-years at UW.” Harold also addressed the concern regarding the double cohort which will occur in 2002-2003, In response to the influx of extra students to universities thar year, he points out that there must be something done to “meet that need.”

Village Three alone will not be sufficient to accommodate

Village Three will include a central complek complete with a courtyard, lounge area and state-of-the-art laundry facilities. the remainder of first-year students applying for residence in the upcoming years, which is why other plans are being made to renew the entire residence system.

As of next year, Village One and Ron Eydt Village will only be open to first-year students, East Tower, West Tower and North Court at the UW Apartments will all be coqyerted to upper-year residences over the next few years.

Eventually, the Columbia Lake area will also be converted into a residence area for first-year students.

Walker feels that by building Village Three and making adjustments to the current first-year residences UW will be able to accommodate the number of first-year students currently enrolled. With enrollment increasing, however, there is likely to

be a greater need for spaces in the future. Harold says that at this West Tower in 2002, point “the university hasn’t determined where enrollment is The upper-year residences will be designed in an apartgoing to be in the next one to five years” and therefore residence ment style as well, The entire project of converting East Tower, concerns may be further addressed as they arise, West Tower, and North Court to upper-year residences is Chris Harold is acting as one of the student representatives expected to cost $105 million. sitting on the Residence Renewal Steering Committee, presently in the process ofbevising the plans for Village Three. The committee is scheduled to take the preliminary plans to the Board of Governors before the end of October for appioval.

According to Walker, the final design will be completed by February.

Federation of Students President Christine Cheni sits on *OUT Auction place the Board of Gqvernors and will take part in the final decision.

Though details of the plans have not been finalized, Harold told Imprint that Village Three will be built in an apartment style in response to surveys con’ducted asking first-year students what type of residence they wanted, He said that they will be “very much in line with other schools iike Bricker Residence at Laurier and Elgin and Essex Residences at Western,” consisting of foul bedrooms to a unit as well as a kitchen area, living room area and a bathroom.

Residence fees will be “a bit higher” at Village Three, but Harold explains that students will be paying for higher standards of accommodation since they will be living in a “private suite rather than a communal kind of living environment.”

Like the other Villages, Village Three will have Dons, a residence life program and a community centre.

Unlike the other Villages, the meal plan will be optional and if students do want a meal plan they will have to use either Village One or Ron Eydt Village, Village Three will also include a central complex complete with a courtyard, lounge area and * Individual portrait session in 1 state-of-the-art laundry facilities similar to the one One 8” x 10” a professional studio I recently added to Village One.

o, the Womyn’s Centre was not drying laundry this week in the SLC. The Clothesline Project, “is a visual display that bears witness to the violence against :women,” according to its co-ordinator Theresa qMahasneh.

The Clothesline Project originated in iMassachusetts in 1990 and has since spread :around the U.S. and to other countries. It is part 1 :of National Week Against Violence and is associated with theYWCA. In the project, women ;decorate t-shirts which represent their per:sonal experience with violence, or the experi-

Mahasney commented that the display is dramatically effective/We all know the numbers - 1 in 10 women are effected by domestic violence, but when you see a shirt that represents a woman, it becomes personal,” she said.

Particularly striking, she noted, were the small t-shirts of children and a maternity shirt. The shirts represent children and a pregnant woman who were affected by violence.

The Clothesline Project was contributed to by a first-year Women’s Studies class, Mahasney said. UMy perception was that it was going to be not as personal, but it became a very

Posters in the SLC explained what each coloured t-shirt represents.

Yellow represents battery and assault; orange, pink and red represent rape and sexual assault; blue and green represent survivors of incest or child sexual abuse; purple, represents attacks due to sexual

touching, emotional and personal event,“she commented.

The Project was displayed in a ceremony on Monday, which “was incredibly emotional,” Mahasney noted.

Mahasney stated that the display was effective in achieving its purposes, which are fourfold: to bear witness to survivors as well as

“It’s an outlet for women to express their experiences regarding violence,” Mahasney concluded.

She added that she was pleased with the. number of t-shirts displayed and that undecorated shirts in the display will be donated to a woman’s shelter.

He later enrolled at the University College of Wales and received a degree in electronics. After graduation, he started working for Microsystems International. Matthews would later found Mite1 in 1972 with Michael Cowpland, who went on to found Corel. After leaving Mitel, Matthews

founded Newbridge in 19 86.

Almost every word he spoke was a mix of advice, entertainment and technical information.

‘It is important to think big?

When BellSouth would call Mite1 and ask for Terry Matthews, they would be told his four-digit extension. This encouraged them to think Mite1 was a large company; at the time, it had ‘six employees.

“As this system grew we were to be a preferred partner,” said Thomas.

AS1 does have experience with career services systems, They’ve developed software used by a number of universities, including a coop system at Drexel University. But even the system at Drexel is small in comparison to CECSOnline.

“They built [Drexel] a very basic scheduling system that did not meet our requirements,” said Thomas. In fact, CECS.Online is pushing forward ASI’s work on co-op systems to new levels of scale, sophistication and reliability that the company has not formerly explored.

Problems with CECS.Online ate not new. When the system was originally proposed in 1997, a group of UW co-op students applied to Co-op to develop the system. Despite the

LLWe’re very sorrywedon’thaveitinplace, especially with the extra activity we have this term,” commented Kalbfleisch.

Kalbfleisch wanted students to know that the university is not happy ab&t the situation. “We’re quite disappointed with the delays, and we’re aware it puts an extra strain on everybody’s nerves,” said Kalbfleisch.

What it all boils down to is that for students, the co-op system they desperately need is delayed once again, Arthur Law, an engineering student and commissioner of the Coop Students Advisory Group, says there’s a message in the delays: “I hope students now realize that there are problems in the entire system: administration, IST, and CECS.”

McCourt adds that he is “always suspicious of agencies like CSIS, as they tend to attract (arid recruit) people who tend towards being fanatics. Whether simply fanatic nationalists or otherwise does not change the nature of how such people behave, and the lack of respect that they will hgve for the right of ordinary, normally law-abiding X loyal citizens,n Lambert argues that CSIS is misunderstood and that the service “is not interested in universities in particular,” merely in terrorism.

“We’re not looking for people who are left-wing activistqn commented the frustrated Lambert.

Despite the contention that CSIS is often misconstrued, the recent decision by the government does grant powers to the service which could see it make inroads onto Canadian campuses.

The pressure on academics to find an alternative means to grant CSIS this access is increasing.

Until then, any situation deemed an emergency by the CSIS Director may see more eyes and ears probing university campuses across Canada.

Opportunity found on campus committees A message from the Federation

F

iguring out how a university works is like walking through a maze - once you step in, it’s hard to find your way out. So when you try to figure out who makes decisions around here, you quickly realize that decisions are rarely made by just one individuaf.

Everything has to go through the committee circuit.

On these committees, students have a voice -but unfortunately for you, it’s not being used as effectively as it-could be, Having students sit on committe& is How we get first crack at dealing with any problems that arise. This is where your student representatives come in, whether it’s me or your vice presidents that are speaking on your behalf.

But that’s only the beginning.

Ifall that UW students needed were strong student voices to make their case, then it would be a heck of a lot easier to get things changed around here. Student representation is about more than just your Federation of Students Executives speaking up, it’s about a culture of participation.

First of all, we need seats at the table in order to be able to voice our concerns. To this end, UW is probably middle of the pack in terms of making students part of the decision-making process.

We’re not as well-represented as the University of Manitoba, where students are mandated to hold 25percent of the Board of Governors seats (compared to our 15 per cent), but we’re better off than some universities where administrators won’t even speik to their students.

Students already hold seats on many of the key decision-making bodies, but having a seat is only half the battle, For instance, students currently hold five of the 36 seats on the Board of Governors (three undergrad, two grad), but those seats are of little use if students don’t know that this is the body that approves everything from tuition increases to new student

of Students? President

residences.

You need to be asking yourselves: What good are these seats if the student reps don’t have the knowledge or the guts to ask the right questions? How are these people accountable to me? How do they make sure that my concerns ibout my education are addressed?

Let’s face it: I can fight for a student seat on every key committee on this campus, but if you don’t ensure that there are effective representativesspeaking on your behalf, if you don’t support these ‘students by offering your opinions, if you don’t find out how they represented you, then students become token representatives because they won’t have the support of their peers.

The amount of representation that we have at the table is only part of it, the other part is the support that these student reps get from

Mumia Abu- Jamd: Justice Denied

M

umia Abu-Jamal has been on death row for over 17 years convicted with the killing of a Philadelphia police officer. An awardwinning journalist, political activist and onetime member of the Black Panther Party, Mumia has faced one miscarriage of justice after another.

In 1981, Mumia stopped a cab he was riding in to try and stop a police officer from assaulting a Black man. The man turned out to be Abu-Jamal’s brother - stopped for a minor traffic violation. According to eyewitnesses, an unidentified person shot at officer Daniel Faulkner and fled. Mumia was shot in the chest

by Faulkner. Witnesses say that Mumia was left bleeding on the curb for 45 minutes while police officers took turns beating him.

He was charged

Ballistic experts never matched any of the bullets found in the Police Officer’s body or anywhere on the scene to the gun that allegedly belonged to Mumia.

The bullet in Faulkner’s brain was a .44-caliber, whereas the gun police say belonged to Mumia was a .38.

Germany have called for a new trial, Demonstrations have taken place around the world by people demanding Mumia’s freedom - all around the U.S., Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Amsterdam, and other cities. Organizations committed to fighting for his release exist all over North America and Europe, as well as in Africa and Asia.

In 1997, the Secretary General of Amnesty International issued a statement expressing concerns that “Mumia Abu Jamal’s original trial may have been contaminated by the deeprooted racism that appears to taint the application of the death penalty in Pennsylvania.”

In a show of state power and to pressure federal courts, on October 12,1999 the Governor of Pennsylvania signed another death warrant scheduling Mumia to die by lethal injection December 2,1999.

A petition has been filed in the federal district court for a new trial for Mumia - a procedure where federal courts review criminal convictions by state courts thus challenging the absolute right of state governments to take away a person’s fife.

A hearing in federal district court will be Mumia’s FIRST real opportunity to have the evidence heard and reviewed. Join the call for justice.

Students Big on Oktoberfest To theEditor,

T

his year’s Oktoberfest committee made a vow to market the

annual crowd. crowd

beer blast to the younger Unfortunately, the young that the committee was hop-

ing for turned out a few years older.

Collegeanduniversitystudentsdominated this past week’s festivities at many of the festhalls in the K-W region. With tuition well above what the average student can afford, OktolX&%illlures~ancially&llenged students to its high-priced liquor and food. Not many students

can resist a week-long party, a student’s Achilles heel that Oktoberfest cashes in on each year.

In reality, most revelers between the ages of 19-24 do not have much background information on the history of Oktoberfest or K-W’s German heritage.

For us kiddies, the event is nothing more than a party with bad music and lots of expensive beer. One pre-drunken party-goer sat down beside me and said, UMa.n, I hate this music, but I won’t care in two hours.”

I looked up at poor Oncle Walter and thought how anyone can hate the polka king. That night, the dance floor remained clear of dancing, except when the 90s music amplified between sets. Otherwise, the dance floor served as a social meeting spot for various groups of friends.

The neo-Oktoberfest has the recipe for attracting a younger crowd.

Halls now feature more body art vendors, more games, more shooter girls, and less oom-pa-pa.

As September approaches and students begin moving back into the region, plans have already been made to gather in the second week of October to celebrate, well, beer. And with sponsors such as Molson, who persistently market to the barely legal crowd, Oktoberfest isn’t a tough sell to the 80’s generation.

The first night of Oktoberfest looked like a university bar; wall-towall students, sporting beer soaked T-shirts and blood-beaten eyes. Of course, the rare 25~1~s revelers appeared the same way.

The more experienced Oktoberfesters didn’t seem to mind the young scene. I

overheard one elderly gentleman mutter, “I feel like I’m at one of them raves they talk about; oh to be young again.” Despite the few odd-agers, the generations mixed imperfectly.

However, there seemed to be some uncomforted souls among the older crowd.

The new focus for Oktoberfest officials may be to re-think their mZuketing plan. Those festers who once pioneered the festival no longer return because of a massively young contingency. Even the traditional

Oktoberfest bands began to split their sets evenly, featuring traditional German polka combined with contemporary favourites from the Tragi-

cally Hip and Pearl Jam. There’s nothing more odd than seeing a lederhosen-fitted guitarist playing Bruce Springstein riffs.

There’s no doubt that the traditions of Oktoberfest need to be altered to meet the mutating generations; but, as Oktoberfest attracts one end of the age spectrum, it evenly turns away the other. The challenge is to find the happy middle; a challenge that may certainly be mission impossible.

The last night, I witnessed a younger man strip to his nakedness and jump into a nearby pond. When security staff pulled him out, I saw another man, who must have been twenty years older, start to de-robe for an encore.

I guess the generations may be starting to understand each other, weirdly, but surely.

Bell vs. Rogers To the Editor,

T

here has been a fat of discussion about Eeil Sympatico High Speed Edition (HSE) Internet service in the recent issues of Imprint.

As I have had the HSE service for about three weeks now and I have also,in the past few months, experienced Rogers@Home, the competitive cable modem service, I may be in a unique position to convey my experiences to those interested so that they are able to make an informed decision about which service to choose.

Upon ordering the HSE service

I was told that a kit would be delivered to me and the service would be activated all within five business days.

As expected, the kit arrived the day

before the activation date so that I hadtimetoseteverythingup. contained the Nortel

Thekit Networks ltechnically, is

Meg Modem, which, not really a modem, some phone line filters, instructions and software as well asa network card. The installation was quite straightforward and e3okme lessthan an hour. When the service was activated the following day, I was able to enjoy the Internet.

My happiness was short-lived, however. Over the past three weeks, there were three significant disruptions of servicelasting up to about 12 hours. As a consequence, I wasforced into the nightmare of calling technical support, After going through the numerous unavoidable touch-tone menus and being on hold for up to 45 minutes at a time, I could finally reach someone at the other end.

Even though it was evidently not a problem on my end, but a technical difficulty on Bell’s side, I was asked to go through standard troubleshooting steps that proved that my computer was set-up properly. After the ‘technician’ verified this, the standard reply would be that Bell is aware of the problem and that specialists are working to restore the service as soon as possible. When I . mentioned my disappointment and asked about some kind of a reimbursement I was redirected to billing department.

They, however, could not heip me as long as my service was inoperative.

Once the service was back up, they said, I should phone again and they would move my biiling date forward to offset the losses.

I was given two weeks of service free and settled for that.

The lack of connectivity, while most disruptive, wasn’t the only trouble I experienced.

Other problems included inadequate software, bandwidth reduction and telephone interference, The most glaring problem with the software provided, called Access Manager, is that it has no automatic reconnect feature. This becomes a problem if you want your machine to be connected all the time but the HSE service is disrupted for any period of time while you are away. The only way the connection can be re-established is by pressing the ‘Connect’ button within the application.

Also; the Access Manager is riot loaded as a service under Windows 95/98 but, rather, as a regular application.

This

“Too tired I*0must1ea not fall asleep.” means that if you normally get a Microsoft Network login screen at start-up, the Access Manager must wait until you log in to establish a connection and you lose that connection every time you log out. In my experience, the AccessManager also refused to co-operate .with some NetworkAddressTranslation (NAT) based software routers such as WinRout;.

While these issues maybe merely a nuisance for some, I have found them quite l&dering as I have two networked computers, which I need to access through the Internet while out of the house.

As the HSE service uses ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) technology, -the data travels over the samewires as normal voice communication, albeit in a higher frequencyband,abovethe4kHzused for voice communication.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown to me, the transfer rate slows down significantly when the phone is picked up.

This noticeable reduction in download speed prompted further investigation in the matter. is it turned out, the drastic drop in transfer rate was most pronounced during off-peak hours (around 3 a.m.) A download of a large file from the Sympatico site took me about four times as long with the phone line in

use. The mutual interference of the voice and data communication is also manifested in the audible hiss on the phone line.

The aforementioned problems have forced me to consider switching to the Rogers@Home cable modem service.

It, however, is not free of glitches either. Throughout the several months that I had the service installed, I had to endure frequent (almost daily) but short (up to an hour) service interruptions.

The tech-

nicalsupportwasjustas(un)reachable asthat of Bell HSE. In several cases the time spent while waiting for technical support exceeded the time of the outage, Other drawbacks of Internet over cable include lax security and degraded performance during peak times.

Both the security and performance degradation problems stem from the fact that the ‘IV cable segment in your vicinity carries the netcontinusd

I am a smner as is everyone who walks this Earth. The actions of Hitler and other “religious fanatics” that Erik Walle refers to are proof of this if any is needed. Unfortunately, Erik has chosen to believe the word of men like these instead of the Word of God, Himself, about the kind of person He is. With all due respect, I suspect that Erik has never read the Bible. Otherwise, he would have concluded that Hitler’s actions do not gain God’s approval. Hitler wrote his own bible, which is exactly what Erik advocated two weeks ago (“judge right and wrong for yourself, write your own bible”).

It is my sincere hope and prayer that Erik would read the Bible to see what Jesus Christ is really like. He is not a God of hate, but rather a God of love. He is not a fictitious, mythical or philosophical concept that man conjured up - any encyclopedia will attest to that. Instead, He is a God that gave up everything to become human in order to teach us, serve us and give up his life to save us. Why? Simply because He loves us. In fact, He loves you, Erik Walle, even though you have chosen to live without Him, and encourage others to do likewise, He wants more than anything for you have a loving relationship with Him right now, and for all eternity.

I3 What He doesn’t want is for you to live eternally without Him, because a world without God is a world devoid of love. How do I know He doesn’t want this to happen to you? Because He tells us in the Bible, and He gave up His one and only son, Jesus, so that it wouldn’t have to happen. But don’t take my word

for it.

Read the Bible and decide for yourself if what I’ve said is true, God promises that if you seek him truthfully and earnestly, He will make Himself known to you.

of Sikh faith

Celebration pril marked an important milestone in the history of A he Sikh nation.

It was 300 years ago this month that the Sikh’s tenth master (Guru Gobind Singh Ji) gave the Sikh nation an identity and a vision. The identity that was given to the Sikhs was the identity of the Khalsa (the pure one), and the vision was to uphold the principles attached to this identity.

Three hundred years ago, Guru Gobind Singh Ji followed the ordinance of the Almighty and completed a dream that began with the birth of the first master, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, He created a nation he called his Khalsa: the pure ones.

Guru Ji gave the Khalsa a distinct identity which lives on today.

His Khatsa was to follow the teachings of all ten masters (gurus), the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji (also known as the Sikh Holy scriptures), wear the Khalsauniform, and undergo a baptism ceremony (belief in the sanctity of am&-a sweet nectar administered during the ceremony).

An individual who identifies himself or herself as a Khalsa is an individual who is ready to give up his or her life for the betterment of humanity.

From Guru Nanak Dev

WhY should anyone but the Sikhs care three Golden rules, which are to about what this recite the name of milestone celebration means? In one word, my answer to you is education.

They were turned back. implemented 300 years ago is an Right now, you may be wonderToday, these same Sikhs are in external and internal commitment, ing to yourself what is the point of all Canada’s top professional and social

positions.

Th ey refuse to remain nameless and faceless. .A milestone celebration is not only about looking back at the past, it is also about looking into the future. The future is about educating others in Canadian society about the identity of the Khalsa. It is also about clearing up any misconceptions or prejudices that currently exist.

In this way, when it: comes time to celebrate the 310, the 350, and even the 400 anniversary, more people will know what the Sikhs are celebrating.

The Khalsa tri-century falls at a very critical time for the :Sikhs. In the past few years, the portrayal of the Sikhs in the media has been anything but positive.

In the media the Sikhs appear divided, they appear to be continually involved in riots taking place at Sikh places of worship, called gurdwaras, and they appear to be in the midst of power struggles.

This is not what the Sikhs are about. These are the misconceptions that need to be cleared up, and this is the reason education about the identity of the Khalsa is the key for future celebrations.

Therefore, what was celebrated in April has nothing to do with what is in the media today, rather it is what the Sikh nation is truly about-an identity and a vision of the Khalsa.

t’s been nine years since the end of the Gulf War and the resulting death and misery are long gone, right? Wrong.

For the 20 million people of Iraq, including a generation unborn during Operation Desert Storm, the war still lingers in the form of destructive sanctions.

These sanctions are the harshest and longest ever imposed on a smgle country in human history.

A lecture was organized recently at the University of Waterloo to draw Canadians’ attention to the human suffering in Iraq resulting from these sanctions: sanctions backed by their federal government.

The lecture was the fourth in a series entitled “Waging Peace in the 21st Century” and was sponsored by WPIRG, Physicians for Global Survival, and the St. Jerome’s Centre for Catholic Experience.

It was presented Saturday night in the Davis Centre by Linda Morgan and Irene MacInnes.

British Columbia-based Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.

Irene is a retired social worker who acts as the coordinator of the “Vancouver-Cuba Friendshipment,” which supports the “Pastors for Peace” caravans to

schools in Baghdad and Basra and they commented on their feelings while showing pictures of everything from bomb ruins in urban areas to children on the brink of death.

Among the many problems that Iraqi children face are a 400 per cent

deaths resulting from the sanctions.

Already, approximately 500,000 Iraqi children have died and approximately 1.2 million Iraqi citizens (6% of the total population) have fallen victims to the nine-yearold sanctions.

“Iraqi children face a 400 per cent increase in birth defects and a 700 per cent increase in cancer.” protest U.S. sanction against Cuba.

Further, both are involved in “End the Arms Race.”

From the beginning of their lecture, Linda and Irene maintained that they yere only concerned about the victims of the sanctions,especially Iraqi children,and are by no means biased or even political experts.

increase in birth defects and a 700 per cent increase in cancer, both partially caused by leftover depleteduranium from allied weapons.

The children also have to deal with outdated schoolbooks and almosr no school supplies.

Included on the list of articles that are not permitted to enter the country are doorknobs and toilet paper; apparently their “dangerous,” “dual-purpose” nature allows them to be used as weapons by the Iraqi government.

These tragic conditions for Iraqis remain amidst the sirens triggered by continual allied bombing.

and frustration Iraqis face daily.

Once a relatively affluent nation with universal healthcare and free education, Iraq has been scarred for the long-term.

The new generation is mostly a malnourished and uneducated one, and eventually these same people will ultimately have to lead the country into the future.

The lecture was the first outside of Vancouver for Linda and Irene who are traveling on to Ottawa and then Winnipeg.

In Ottawa, they hope to meet with Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy to express their concerns.

Meanwhile, they encourage us, as Canadian citizens with voting power, to encourage our government by mail, e-mail, or phone to change their policy and lift the sanctions.

Canadacurrently has the power to exercise considerable influence due to its temporary pcrsicion in the UN Security Council.

uestions. Answers. Hypotheses. Theories. Corollaries.

Laws. Given the current path s cience, we will no doubt answer most of the questions currently placed before us? The big question is - will we be able to answer all the questions? As you can very well imagine, we are producing questions at a much higher pace than answers.

Looking back over the history of science, whether it be quantum mechanics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, computer science, particle physics or geochemistry -we have continually developed better hypotheses based upon pre-existing ones and if not, we have, to say the least, created more questions. Whenever an event or episode does not fit into our human based psyche and cannot be explained within our existing rational realms, scientists all over the world strive to form theories/hypotheses, test them, discard them if they fail and then form new theories. This process continues until 3 reasonable theory capable of withstanding all experimental parameters

is created; keep in mind that sometimes it takes years to propose a reasonable theory.

In spire of this, many-a-times old theories have to be dropped in light of new evidence. Concurrently, with each new “find” questions arise.

Now here is the paradox of sorts. Will we be able to answer all or

endeavour simply to strive toanswer the question “why,” which in turn can be blurted out by anyone with the intelligence of a salamander? Or does science have some quintessent-ial aim in sight? Furthermore, if an aim exists, is it attainable?

If the goal of science is indeed to “serve our purpose” and jusr pro-

Whenever an episode does not fit oui mental schemas, we rush to form new theories to try and explain it. most of the queries in the scientific world before time “T” is up? In other words, before the end of our civilization as we know it. Will we come to definite conclusions and meanings about life on earth and its billions of working parts, before we get wiped off the face of this planet? The “big” qnestion could be posed as such does science simply serve its own purpose and that of our quasi-rational selves? 1s science’s ultimate

vide answers to questions until someone else comes up with better answers, will science flounder at fulfilling it’s own destiny? Should scientific endeavours be aimed at relieving mankind of its myriad of ailments, or at solving the so-called large metaphysical problems?

Maybe science does exist to provide IJS with plausible explanations to vague and succlncr as well as realistic and hypothetical situations.

In either case, in

serving our purpose, science, does allow us the luxury of knowing that certain things have a higher or lower probability than others. For example, (thanks to science) we know that if we get the common cold or the flu, the chances of us passing away are one in a million.

Figuratively, it could be this certainty that allows us to go about enjoying our many daily activities, sure of the fact that the billions of occurances around us, of which the disruption of one could cause havoc, will take care of themselves, Contrarily, it is these “billions of occurances” that scientists constantly want to breakdown, understand and eventually reproduce in their laboxatories.

The result of such aims has also been the production of destructive effects of atomic energy, biological warfare and other such menacing outcomes. In the face of this, can we still say that science is serving our purpose? The question I suppose we should be asking is-who are we to judge that the beautiful scientific process that gives us the ability to enjoy microwave popcorn and support prematurely born babies, is ugly just because of a few ugly side effects.

is one of six winners of the “Synergy Awards for University Research and Development Partnerships,” announced yesterday by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council and the Conference Board of Canada. The two agencies sponsor the prize, which includes $10,000 research grants and sculptures. Presentations will be made next week in Calgary.

There were 44 nominees for this year’s award and each was required to demonstrate an effective use of university and industry resources, commercial benefits to industry and benefits to the university.

The UW project is a ten-year collaboration with Falconbridge Limited to find ways of treating and preventing acid mine drainage (MID).

AMD is one of the greatest challenges facing environmental managers in the mining industry. The Canadiangovernment spends $100 million a year to reduce AMD. The mining and milling of sulphuric ore deposits generates large quantities of sulphide-bearing waste rock and finely crushed mill tailings. When exposed to oxygen and water, these by-products generate acidic effluents, which can leach heavy metals and contaminate the soil and water supplies.

According to David Blowes of LJW’s Earth Sciences department, his team is looking at natural ways to curb contamination and rehabilitate mining areas once mining has ceased, Hopefully once such a system is put in place, it will continue to operate on its own. Additionally, it will not have to be replaced for a long time period. The system Blowes and his colleagues are designing won’t need day-to-day management.

EmiI Frind, Carol Ptacek and David Blowes have also developed mathematical models to help quantify the risks associated with mining by-product facilities.

According to Denis Kemp, director of environmental development at Falconbridge, one result of the research will hopefully be the reduction of the cost of mine closures by 70 to 80 per cent.

The collaboration with Falconbridge has also gtinered international recognition for UW and has led to research partnerships with other universities and corporations.

There has also been government support -most recently, a $150,000 grant for Blowes last spring from the Premier’s Research Excellence Awards. UW has received patents for two of its remedial rechnoiogies.

Warriors stun-gby Concordia I

t seems as though football is different in Montreal.

The Warriors faced off against the CIAU’s second-ranked Concordia Stingers on October 16 and faced a sad defeat by a single point with the final score Concordia 19, Waterloo 18.

The Warriors faced off against two teams at once, the Concordia Stingers and the referees. From the first play to the last, our coaches watched in disbelief as the refs made no effort to hide their preference for the home team. Outrageous calls and unfair rulings plagued the Warriors enormously.

For the Waterloo Warriors and the Concordia Stingers, this was not an ordinary game of football.

Concordia made it up on the scoreboard first after only two minutes of game play. A bad hike to Tony Riha lost him a few seconds on his punt, but gave Concordia just the time they needed to block the punt. With no one there to stop them, five maroonandgoldplayers ran the ball into the end zone for their first touchdown.

Jason Tibbits caught a very poorly kicked Concordia punt and ran 15 yards to the 230yard line. Mike Bradley picked up where Jason left off by running the ball on three consecutive plays, the last of which was straight into the end zone for Waterloo’s first touchdown of the day. This play tied the game 7-7. Both Tibbits and Bradley continued to play a large role in the game. Tibbits had two interceptions and ran a total of 88 yards. Bradley ran 27 times and gained 132 yards. He also received two passesfor a gain of 15 yards.

Concordia kicker Matthew Trudeau faked a third-down punt at 13:3O in the first quarter, but didn’t make it very far, getting thoroughly crushed by linebacker Daryl Tharby. Waterloo started their drive on the 42-yard line. Ryan Wilkinson threw a N-yard pass to Chris Krebich to make the next play first. and-goal. Waterloo had a holding penalty during Wilkinson’s pass and the ball was brought back a few yards to the N-yard line. With only 54 seconds left in the first quarter, Wilkinson threw to Krebich to score another Waterloo touchdown.

Warrior fans drowned out the Concordia fans as they celebrated their 14-7 lead against the Stingers. Krebich had a total of six receptions for a distance of 118 yards during the game.

The Stingers didn’t take too long to respond, They hit a 36yard field goal by only a few inches to take the score forward 1410. The rest of the second quarter involved big plays and gutwrenching tackles as the Warriors pushed the Stingers all over

the field. They ended the half with a I %yard field goal by Tony Riha and the score was 17-10.

The official Waterloo Warrior band made the 7OO-plus kilometre journey to join the Warriors and show everyone that they have been practicing.

Waterloo had an amazing fan turnout for the game. Even thought they comprised only ten per cent of the stadium attendance; their Ioud cheering maintained a dominating presence throughout the game. Favourite cheer of the day was, “Get off your knees ref, you’re blowing the game!”

In the third quarter, Mike Bradley saved the Warriors from a touchdown by stopping Concordia player Jean-Michel Paquette at the five-yard line after a 50 yard run on a punt return, Waterloo’s awesome defensive line continued to shine as they stopped Concordia cold two times in a row. Concordia’s touchdown hopes turned into field goals. They made it and moved the score up to 17-13. ’ Tony Riha made only one out of three field goals during the game. In the third quarter, he tried for a 4%yard field goal, but fell short as the ball hit the horizontal crossbar and fell out.

Later in the same quarter, his X-yard attempt sailed too far to the left and Waterloo had to settle for a single point.

During the fourth quarter, Concordia hit two field goals to make the score 19-l 8 in their favour. Waterloo’s frustrated players responded fiercely. This was best demonstrated by Jason Tibbits. As Mike Laporte wrapped up the legs of Chris Cvetkovic, Tibbits gained enough momentum and Cvetkovic

could only watch in fear as Tibbitscharged at him and hammered the inside receiver into the ground. Consequently, Cve&ovic had to be carried off the field.

Waterloo was given a chance to pull ahead at 13 : O?in the fourth quarter.

With a score of 19-N for Concordia, the pressure was on Waterloo kicker Tony Riha to hit a 20-yard field goal. With a great display of athleticism, the Concordia defense managed to block the kick and knocked the ball down into the unexpected arms of wide receiver Chris Krebich at the 24ayard line. Krebich ran it ahead five yards, where he threw a lateral pass to Ryan Wilkinson.

Wilkinson made it a few yards more before realizing he couldn’t make it to the end zone by himself.

He threw a bullet pass to wide open Waterloo tight end Reza Celik, who turned to receive the ball too late and did not make the reception.

After stopping Concordia’s offense for the last time, Waterloo had one more chance to win the game. However, in a play that mirrored last week’s final drive against Western, Ryan Wilkinson threw a wobbling pass into the waiting arms of a Concordian interceptor, With only 34 seconds left on the clock, the Concordia offense, led by quarterback Jon Kronemeyer, let the clock run down and won the game, In a game of missed opportunities and chronic unfairness, the Waterloo Warriors lost to the Concordia Stingers by a score of 19-18.

On October 23, Waterloo takes on the Guelph Gryphons at University Stadium. Kickoff is at 2p.m. All University students are admitted free with student identification,

This fine group’s running allowed the Warriors to defeat sixth ranked University of Toronto by four points for the team title, despite the Varsity Blues top three runners finishing third, fifth and seventh. The Warrior’s strong fourth and fifth runners beat out their Toronto counter parts, to move Waterloo to a 239 won-loss record, and an underestimated ninth ranking in Canada. All this, and Daijiro Abe, a consistent scorer for Waterloo, did not finish the race due to a leg cramp,

Dave Harmsworth ran well as the sixth man, just ahead of a runner from Toronto, a testament to Waterloo’s depth. Rookies Rob Bruce and Will Gibbons battled it out for the alternate spot on the OUA team (the top seven run, with one alternate). Rob came out on top with his best race of the year and Will was close behind. The two finished 37 and 39 respectively.

The women put their first five runners over the line within 5 1 seconds of each other and took sixth place overall despite missing top runners Kristie Henry and Natasha Yaremchuck.

Green was voted MVP by her teammates for her efforts at eightman and her ability to play with the forwards and backs, going for numerous runs with the ball and making solid tackles. The final score of the game was 41-3.

Athletes of the Week F

or most people in Western nations, Japan is portrayed as the experts in efficency and business.

Therefore, imagine a Westerner’s surprise when told that Japan has a rather impressive history in sports.

From the J-League to the ancient sport of sumo, this pearl of the Orient has much to offer. Baseball has a fantastic following on the island of Ho&u, where the capital of Tokyo ’ sits. It is on this isle that the Japan Series begins on October 23 at the FukuokaDome.Thisseriesisabestof seven contest between Pacific League’s champion FukuokaDaieiHawks and Central League’s champion Chunichi Dragons.

Last year, the Yokohama Bay Stars defeated the Seibu Lions four games to two. At the time, Fukuoka j%ishedfourthintheCentralLeague, while Chunichi ended up right behindYokohama.

This year, the Lions accumulated 75 wins, 59 losses and. one tie, good enough for second place. Meanwhile, Yokohama fell to a record of 71 wins and 64 losses. As a result, Yokohama finished behind winners Chunichi and the beloved (or loathed if one lives outside Tokyo) Yomiuri Giants. Overal, the Hawks earned 78 wins, 54 losses and three ties, while Chunichi garnered 8 1 wins and 54 losse$. For the Dragons, this has been a team destined to eventually finish first in the Central League. The Hawks were a big surprise in the Pacific, as they caught up and overtook Seibu for the top spot in the Central League.

The Fukuoka Daiei Hawks are a team that has one of Japan’s top

batters in Kenji Jojimi. This veteran catcher for the Hawks has a batting average of .306,77 runs batted in, has crossed the plate 8 7 times and hit 15 home runs. Not exactly Mark McGuire material here, but at least he gets the job done for the Hawks.

In the infield, Fukuoka has the likes of Nobuhiko Matsunaka, Chihiro Hamana, Hiroki Kokubo and ten year veteran Koichiro Yoshinaga, who is very potent with the baseball bat. The outstanding outfielder for the Hawks is one Hiroshi Shibahara, who placed second for team runs. As for home runs, both Hiroki Tanaka and Hiroki Kobuko placed 24 balls right out of the Dome. The pitching isverydependabletoo,withKimiyasu Kudo leading the way for the Hawks.

KudoleadthePacificLeaguewithan earned run average of 2.38. His record stood at II-7 and managed 196 strikeouts, the best for starting pitchers on the Hawk squad. Expect Tomohiro Nagai and Kenichi WakatabetoalsostartfortheHawks.

Relief will be spelled out by Rodney Pedraza (27 saves and an earned run average of 1.98) and Takayuki Shinohara (14-I record with an earncd run average of 1.25). The manager of Fukuoka is the famous Sadaharu Oh. The Chunichi Dragons will counter Fukuoka’s Jojimi with wily veteran Koichi Sekikawa. Originally with the Hanshin Tigers, Sekikawa put up modest numbers for the Central League. Overall, Sekikawa had a batting average of .330,74 runs, 60 runs batted in, 20 stolen bases and four home runs. The home run leader for this team is sophomore player Leo Gomez, who belted the ball out of reach of outfielders 36 times, eight

short of home run leader Roberto Petagine of the Yakult Swallows.

The ‘oldest players, infielder Kazuyoshi Tatsunami and catcher Taskeshi Nakamuta, will be potent threats for the Dragons both defensively and offensively.

Expect a good performance from rookie sensation Kosuke Fukudome.

Rounding out a verysol.idDragonsquadis JongBeorm Lee and Kazuke Inoue. For pitching, the Dragons will depend on Shigeki Noguchi, who has a record of 19 wins and seven losses, an earned run average of 2.65 and 145 strikeouts. Other starters include Masahiro Yamamoto, Kaztio Takeda and Kenshin ~.ReliefdutieswiLlfaliupon Dong Yol Sun (2.61 earned run average and 28 saves) and Hitoki lwase (lo-2 with an earned run average of 1.57.) The manager for Chunichi is Senichi Ho&no.

Lookingatthestatistics&seems that the Pacific League champions tie better. Overall, Chunichi has 35 more runs in favour of the team, seven more hits, six points more in the batting average, 26 points less in the earned run average, three more wins and 65 less runs against the team than Fukuoka. However, the Hawks lead in home runs, stolen bases (by two), strikeouts and inning pitched.

This should be a good battle between two strong teams, but Chunichi should win the Japan Series in six hard fought games and earn bragging rights as the best baseball team in the nation, The best part of it is that there will be no Boston Red Sox or Philadelphia Eagles fans to ruin the moment.

Jason grabbed two interceptions for 30 yards and returned six kicks for a total of 68 yards.

e’s rude, arrogant and brash. He’s got a gargantuan ego and his penchant for saying just the wrong thing is astounding.

He’s a soccer hooligan in 007’s clothes. Hc leavesyoushaken, not stirred.

So why do we love Robbie Williams so much? Perhaps it’s his ability to make teenage girls swoon at his every move. Or perhaps it’s his devilish attitude which makes you love to hate him. Or perhaps it’s just because he puts on a damn good show.

On Tuesday, October 19, Robbie hit the stage at The Lyric in Kitchener in front of about 1,000 people. Considering he is more accustomed to playing to over 80,000 people, this was one of his smallest shows ever, Despite this, he brought with him his larger than life ego and arena sized theatrics.

On a tour of North America’s largest cities, we may never know why he decided to come to Kitchener.

Seemingly predicting this question, Robbie explained, “They said ‘don’t go to Kitchener,’ but I said ‘I’m going to Kitchener.

These people need some entertainment!“’ (The fact that he said “...Kitchener, where the fuck is that?” later in the show seemed to cast some doubt over his supposed good intentions).

Starting off the show to the strains of the “Theme from 2001” before exploding into “Let Me En-

tertain You,” Robbie revved up crowd and kept them going for minutes of energetic pop.

His egomaniacal mugging the cameras, his intentionally

put on a show, not just play the hits.

To that extent, Robbie and the band seized attention with a myriad of spinning drumsticks, mic tricks and jump kicks, Robbie’s setlistcovered material from.hisalbumTbeEgoHasLanded.

Following his opener, he kept the energy high as he moved right into “Man Machine” and followed up with “Lazy Days” (cleverly segueing into “Hey Jude” at the last minute).

In usual Robbie charm, he commented on how polite the audience was during “One of God’s Better People,” before following up with “After the show, you don’t have to be so polite with me.” i, Introducing “Angels” as “Hymn 103 “from your prayerbooks,” he ended the first part of his show with an audience sing-a-long.

ast week, as the dance music oozed through the ceiling at Angry Buddha?, the Flashing Lights were on in Kitchener.

Billed as the Front Man War tour by promoters, this was to be the farewell tour for Halifax popsters Thrush Hermit as they crossed the country with East Coast music staples the Local Rabbits and Toronto’s Flashing Lights.

Unfortunately, Hermit’s vocalist Joel Plaskett was instructed by his doctor that touring would not be

advisable, so they had to drop off the tour.

Des&e the absence of Thrush Hermit, the Flashing Lights’ front man Matt Murphy explained that the tour must go on.

“Although the presence of Thrush Hermit brought added weight to the tour and the breakup was a great bugle call to all music lovers, it naturally became the focus of the tour. It is a shame that they could not make it, but the tour will continue at a vigorous pace toward tomorrow.”

The Flashing Lights, aTorontobased pop quartet, have recently released their first record, Where the CbangeIs, and have enjoyed considerable success on 102.1 The Edge radio.

Murphy was positive about the band’s success “I’m told we are off to

a great start considering that we have yet to tour the album.”

Judging by the turnout at Angry Buddha? on Saturday, the Flashing Lights are one their way to Canadian pop domination.

The venue itself provided severa1 limitations.

First of all, the show took place on all-ages Saturday, and . for the uninitiated, Angry Buddha? is downstairs at the Metropolis.

This means that all night long, concert goers were assaulted by remixes of Lou Bega and Fatboy Slim as the thumping bass bled through the ceiling of the bar.

The bands had to literally shout in their counts to start their songs, always competing with the beat upS&S.

A late start due to technical problems wasn’t a bad thing, as it meant that TheMiniatures were mercifully

cut short. They raced through severa1 songs, playing to a receptive crowd, but their music is too focused on musical stunts and not, enough on composition, making them difficult to listen to. The group can create high energy,lbut their attempts to emulate both the Rheostatics and Our Lady Peace fell flat in the end.

Next up was Montrbal’s Local Rabbits. As always, the quartet produced a set of incredibly tight pop hooks. They were less animated than The Miniatures, but much more musical.

Vocalist Ben Gunning has an incredible ability to sing like one of the Bee Gees. At times this is impressive; o&e? times grating on the nerves.

Pete Elkas’ less acrobatic vocals were a fresh change that balanced out the band. . Finally, at nearly 1 a.m,, the

Flashing Lights took the stage. Matt Murphy is the quintessential from man, welcoming the crowd and thanking the sound technician, who had been called in at the last minute to work the show.

Simply put, the Flashing Lights rocked. The Lights tore through their title track, “Where the Change Is,” to a screaming crowd. They played their radio hit, “Where do the Days Go,” and most of the album, eventually asking for requests from the audience.

The Flashing Lights truly are a crowd-pleasing act, with just the right amount of ego to make them seem famous, even though they are still relatively unknown.

Rest easy, Canadian music fans, your music is in good hands. After last week’s show it is clear: the Flashing Lights are on.

ward-winning Canadian children’s author Kit Pearson vis‘ted St. Jerome’s University on Wednesday October 13 for a question period, as well as to read from her latest novel.

Known for winning most of the awards offered by the Canadian literary society, she has won all but one in her home province of British Columbia. Her first book, The During Game, was a success for this once librarian turned writer and her success has continued in such books as Handful ofTime and most recently Awake and Dreaming.

Kit Pearson demonstrates her bodk,AwakeandDeam~~.

Addressing a crowd of both young and old, Pearson admitted she was never encouraged to write in school. As a child, she was an avid reader and was highly influenced by L. M. Montgomery’s book Emily of NewMoon. After receiving her English degree at the University of Alberta, Pearson attended librarian school and began working in a library. Her first attempt was a picture book that she did while working at a B.C. library. She confessed that it was not a very good book, even though the story reflected her own life, as

the end of the question and answer session. She then went to the St. Jerome’s common room where she read parts from her recent book, Awake andDreaming, which includes a ghost, a little girl and the girl’s imagination.

The novel, which several children in the crowd had with them, seems to have the elements that children enjoy and award givers like and look for, Certainly this book will be popular with children.

The visit is just one of many in a series that the St. Jerome’s English Department will be putting on.

November 12,1982 was when Pearson began writing The During Game.

After about three years, Pearson published her book and subsequently won an award for it.

She is currently writing a book for adults which she hopes to be out by the end of the year, although she has yet to find a publisher.

For people who want to become writers, Pearson had two pieces of advice: you have to really like writing and you must be a reader.

Not only a writer, Pearson also edited the book This Land, the best works of Canadian authors.

he Kitchener Waterloo Philharmonic Choir performed the legendary War Requiem by renowned composer Benjamin Britten to an enthusiastic, but below capacity, audience at the Centre in the Square on Saturday, October 16.

The brilliant, yet disturbing, work highlights the difficulty in coming to terms with death and violence and within this, a concept of the divine.

The requiem is set in traditional form, encapsulating the necessary Requiem Aeternam, Dies Irae, Offertorium, Sanctus, Agnus Dei and Libera Me. However, Britten layers the traditional with the modern poetry of Wilfred Owen, a casualty of the bTuta1 trench warfare of World War I. Owen’s angry, sarcastic and touching words probe the assumptions of the traditional requiem and require the listener to mitigate between emotions including grief and horror.

The stage was set with the 100 strong Philharmonic Choir, accompanied by the always spectacular Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra. Seated above the choir was the female contingent of the PhilharmonicYouth choir, intoning chantlike supplications in the stead of the boys choir called for by the score.

Above the youth choir sat Heidi Klassen, soprano soloist. Ms. Klassen delivered a knock-out performance, leading the masses of the choir in its moments of religious fervor. Towering over the stage, almost like a medieval high priestess, she roared the intease battle-cries of the Dies Irae (wrath of God) and Libera Me (Lord,

deliver me) with a grace and power that few could match.

While the choir was engaged in the delivery of the dynamic requiem mass, the story of WWI was played out in front of them in song by Tenor Paul Frey and Baritone Mark Pedrotti, who delivered Owen’s heart-wrenching poetry playing the roles of a British and German soldier respectively.

Frey’s clear and controlled tenor and Pedro& smooth and dark baritone proved an excellent match as they carried us through the heat of battle to the peace of death.

Particularly stunning was Offertorium, in which the two men vocalize Owen’s retelling of the biblical story of Abraham, who is asked byGo&osacrificehisonlyson,amidst the choir’s chanting of the traditional text.

The reviewers had mixed impressions as to the success of the male soloists in reflecting the moods and meeting the challenges of the piece.

Despite their eloquence and brilliant emotion, some patrons reported that Pedro&s projection was tooweak at times, while others felt Frey didn’t show the emotional range required by the text.

In spite of the mild criticism, the soloist’s overall performance drew rave reviews and reflected the brilliant nature of the work.

Both choirs delivered solid performances of this very challenging work. Precise and assertive in the central passages, they aptly switched gears, frvm being whipped into a frenzy by Klassen’s rhetoric to being moved by the trhgic story of the soldiers before them.

There were times during the work where the sopranos of the choir failed to takeTheir performance to the limit and a few moments of shaky l

tuning, but on the whole, the performance thrilled the assembled audience.

The Youth Choir was particularly strong, delivering their passages in asmooth and well-articulated manner.

The orchestra delivered a commanding performance for their part, although there were a small number of occasions where they unnecessarily overpowered the choir, particularly during the Sanctus.

The War Requiem is a story of people lead astray by the righteousness and conviction of their religious and political leaders. Britten leaves no doubt that he shares Owen’s anger at the church and the government for helping to bring about the atrocity of war.

The church gets a reprieve from Britten at the end of the work however, as they unite with Frey and Pedrotti in recognizing the evil that men do in war.

The work closes with Klassen and the choir singing a hauntingly beautiful burial hymn for the two Soldiers. The original requiem theme returns however, to remind us that we must be vigilant to avoid repeating the tragedy played out in front of US. Britten’s message created quite astirwhenitwaspremieredin 1962.

It seems that the world of the 1990’s still hasn’t gotten the point. Owen’s condemnation ofviolent forces seem to have failed as Owen himself articulated that “All a poet can do today is warn.”

As we approach the millennium, Britten’s and. Owen’s message and the Phil’s powerful rendition of that message will hopefully serve notice that the next century of humanity could be astarkcontrast with our last and bloodiest one.

Brad Pitt kicks Ed Norton’s ass * Fight Club Twentieth Viiwious JANICE

F

ight Club explores many of the same themes as another recent release, American Be~lcty.

Both fiims deal with the numbness of modern civilization, rebellion against middle-class values and addiction to consumerism.

Although their subject matter is similar, the films are very different.

Fight Club is shot in a fast-paced, visually stimulating style. Director David Fincher (Seven,a The Game) daIa has once again given the world a dark, despairing tint reflecting the characters’ moods.

The story is told by an unnamed narrator, played by Edward Norton.

He is your typical yuppie, driven to an airplane, craving any sensation but antiseptic boredom, and he meets the brink of sanity by a dull whiteTyler Durden (Brad Pitt) in the next collar job, an empty fondness for material things and the utter absence seat. Tyler is of the hippie, non-consumer type. They start up a converof anything to make him feel alive.

He is tormented by insomnia and finds his only relief in going to meetings for 12-step support groups.

At the meetings, he can experience emotions and can at least cry. This is somehow therapeutic and allows him to sleep.

He discovers a fellow 12step addict, named Marla (Helena Bonham Carter).

Norton describes her as “the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguingit-butyoucan’t.”

Marla Nice&s, man.

The little giraffe that could I

meet up with Garry Giraffe at the CKMS studio.

He wasn’t quite what I expected.

For starters, he’s a lot shorter than I would expect him to be, for a giraffe. But it is his voice that really disarms you, hearing it in person.

That sweet, high pitched, innocent voice. “Would you like a peanut?”

Garry asks, pushing towards me a large, plastic, orange bowl full of his favorite snack. Mozart plays softly in the background and I have to keep reminding myself that I am interviewing a l&year-old talking giraffe about his radio show.

Sealy the Seal, Garry’s producer and partner in crime, is however exactly like I thought-rough around the edges and irreverent.

When I arrived at the station, he and Garry were off the air and engaged in a heated debate about who was hotter in the teen dream department, Britney Spears or Christina

Augilera.

It ends up going on-air, completely derailing Garry’s plans to detail some background information on Mozart’s childhood.

They press me for my opinion. I know my girlfriend is listening, so I keep quiet as Garry finally gets back to business and introduces a Bach cantata. Garry, of course, is partial to Britney, Sealy rides the fence, thinking that he may be too old for the both of them, but he then leans toward Christina.

I have to keep reminding myself that I am interviewing talking animals who host a classical music show.

Since 1997, The Gany Show has been airing on CKMS, Monday afternoons from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.

Carry and Sealy have interviewed not only a number of classical musicians such asThe Canadian Brass, but also celebrities such as Kurt Browning, The Friendly Giant, Bob Rae and adult film s&r Missy-from premiers to porn stars, Sealy says proudly.

I tell them both that they’re absolutely nothing like other classical music shows, Garry seems to take it all

in stride. “I’m just being me. Agiraffe who loves classical music and loves radio, CKMS believed in me and allowed me to do both!” Sealy immediately counters with a gravelly, “Buddy, if you heard all the weird crap that happens on our show sometimes, you would really see we ain’t like the others.“.

At this point, a very lively senior named Deke walks into Studio A, along with a small, pink, furry monster named Minky. I get the impression that they are regulars on The Garry Show and judging by the nonchalance shown by the station staff at the spectacle I now see before me, this must all be part of the norm.

The old man is cackling insanely, the pink monster is screaming, Sealy bashes his head into the wall in frustration and Garry offers them all some peanuts from his orange plastic bowl. I am left asking, could it get any stranger?

falls apart. His life was almost complete. He had the right apartment, the right modern Ikea furniture and the right clothes. He was your typical consumer.

“I’d flip through catalogues and wonder what kind of dining set defined me as a person, I had my DKNY cologne, CK tie and A/X shirt.” All of this is destroyed in an apartment fire. Ending up homeless and needing help, he turns to Tyler.

Norton then moves in with Tyler and is changed by Tyler’s lifestyle and attitude.

They also discover that it’s a lot of fun to pummel the hell out of each other. They begin doing this on a regular basis, every Saturday night at a parking lot, This form of escapism attracts other bored, disillusioned men. This fight group soon expands into a secret society. The group becomes a para-

military organization that carries out projects in order to subvert corporations.

This is an intriguing film as it explores the disillusion and emptiness of modern society from a male perspective that will leave you dazed and stunned, It takes a while to process the twists, turns and especially, the ending of the movie.

The film proposes many interesting ideas and questions; its nihilistic attitude leaves you pondering human existence.

Edward Norton has once again outdone himself as the acting in this film is superb. Brad Pitt is excellent as Norton’s catalyst.

Finally, Helena Bonham Carter is good as the mysterious seductress.

Fight Club is definitely not your run of the mill action movie. Yes, the gory right scenes and the explosions are there, but it is also an intelligent and engrossing film,

wisely, Robbiechose to roughen the edges of his studio produced songs, Thrashy guitars dominated the musical mix.

Unfortunately, the acoustics of The Lyric did not leave a favourable impression.

Guitars and bass often drowned out Robbie’s voice, echoed off the walls, and degenerated into a muddled confusion, Still, to the delight of the audience, Robbie returned for an encore which included covers of “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” by The Clash and “Song 2” by Blur (during which he asked “Would you please bounce for me? It would make me happy!“) He ended his concert with a tour-de-force rendition of %Iillenium,” which included Robbie rapping and an extended bass and guitar battle.

Overall the concert was Robalicious. Or Rob-tastic, Rob-a-rific, maybe? We can’t decide.

UW grad Brian Rudy’s debut, Divided tin, is a concept album of sorts. It tells the story of “the struggle between intuition and reason in the artistic quest.” The theme is carried throughout the CD in not only the lyrics but also the music.

Rudy’s music is a mix of intricate poppy melodies and folky story telling lyrics.

The musical theme that runs through the entire CD is catchy and memorable.

Each song uses a similar melodic theme as its base and varies from there with a faster or slower pace and with the addition of cello (such as the beautiful “I will return”), violins, piano and different voices as backing vocals.

Unfortunately, this causes some of the songs to sound slightly similar at times but for the most part the songs are unique variations +on a theme.

Rudy has assembled quite a

Klassen and Kevin Ranney as well as Tom Daniels and Gavin Brown both of whom have worked with numerous Canadian bands.

The album also features guests such as folk singer Cate Friesen, Katharin Thompson of Amaris on cello, and Sheila Gruner of Black Cabbage on violin to name a few.

Each musician blends their sound well to fit into the musical tapestry that isDivi&dMan. Brian Rudy’s sty!e of guitar playing is quite unique. Although he is left handed, Rudy taught himself guitar on a right handed guitar. He simply turned it upside down, and so he learned all chords backwards or upside down. This way of playing guitar helped Rudy develop a sound that is different from most guitar players.

When a band that is established in, a music genre releases a new album, the question on the mind of their fans usualIy is: are they going to stay within the old, original style, or change that style to whatever is being played on the radio right now? Such is the question with Megadeth, a band formed in 1983 by Dave Mustaine, a Metallica reject.

Megadeth, of course, is trans]ated

“Mega,”

However, fans of thrash-speeddeath metal need not abandon hope altogether, _ as_this album _includes el-_ements of what Me rgadeth was all about in the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Almost every song includes a signature super-fast guitar solo that Mustaine, who also plays lead guitar, has perfected.

Also, the choruses of songs like UInsomnia,n “Crush ‘em” ( featured on the Universal Soldier: TheReturn soundtrack) and “Prince of Darkness” break into the heavy distortion and screaming low vocals,

Songs such as “I’ll be there” and “Wanderlust” highlight this change in particular. In fact, listening to these songs, one would find it hard to believe that the band performing is Megadeth.

for which Megadeth is known and loved.

Overall, Megadeth seems to be following Metallica in their rejection of their original style.

They do this by falling back onto some easy melodies, while trying to keep their original fans.

By combining these new elements with their old style, Megade th ends up sounding like every other band in the early ’90s that was trying to catch the grunge wave, but wasn’t any good at it.

Will Megadeth lose their true hardcore fans after the release of this album? Who cares, they have signed. acontractwith WCW to make music for that genre of %ports entertainmerit,” guaranteeing a fresh genetation of idiots to follow them.
