Food Services serves up awards KERRY O'BRIEN special to Imprint

T n a release earlier this week, the University of Waterloo news bureau proudly announced that UW Food Services received recognition from the National Association of Collegeand University Food Services (NACUFS).NACUFS includesmore than 650 academic institutions in Canada, the United States, and abroad. Placed in the "mediumnsize category, U W placed third in its category for residence diningand topped out the divisionplacingfirstfor catering. Establishments that operate un- . der the umbrella of UWFS include, but are not limited to, Bmbaker's, Tim Hortons, and all the residence cafeterias. The only eateries on campus that do not operate under the auspices of UWFS are those run by the Feds, includingthe BombHhelterand Ground Zero, and other student societieswho operate the facultycoffei d d doughnut shops. On Thursday, September 7, a npmber of quotationsfrom Director of Food ServicesMark Murdoch appearedin the UWDaily Bullditf. Prefaced by the fact that approximately 25,000 people live, study, work, or dine on campus,Murdochwasquoted w y i n g "That's alot of customersto fe&, a d satisfying customers is the b a k e s s welrereallyin." In an effort to d i s w e r what UW'FS's customers (students) think of the food on cam-

pus, Imprint set about to randomly interview students caught eating around campus about some of the various quotes Murdoch gave.

raduate students must cast their ballots by September 18 if they want to vote for, or against, the introduction of avoluntary $25 fee per term that would go toward a Graduate Studies Endqwment Fund (GSEF). The Graduate Student Association p r o p o d the new fee to boost funding for graduate studies and graduate research. If the fee proposal getsthe graduate students'vote of approval,thenew feewillbeadded to their fee statements. The GSEF will benefit graduate students in a number of ways. The endowment fund would provide graduate studentswith financial aid in the formof scholarships, bursaries and awards. Funding would also be allocated for partial tuition fee waivers as well as improvements to researchinfrastructureandother facilities. Fifty per cent of all contributions to the endowmentfund willbe used for graduate student benefits while the remaining50percentwillbeused to growthe fund. As aresult, funding for graduate studiescould increaseby as much as $60,000 each year. In addition, all contributors to

the endowmentfund would receive a receipt for their tax-deductible donation. Those who do notwish to contribute to the endowment fund wouldbe able toapply for arefund. ABoardof Directorsconsisting of students, faculty and staff memberswould overseetheendowment fundanddecidehow fundingshould be allocated. Unfortunately, voter apathy could jeopardize the referendum.

Although ballotswere mailed out to 1,753 graduate students on July 31, only about 200 ballots have been rehuned so far. If the res~onserate is less than 15 per cent over all, the results of the referendum will be null and void or more inf&nation, log onto the Graduate Student Association's Web site for links to the complete text of the endowment fund's proposed constitution and a discussion paper on the referendum.

Two studentsfromSt. Jerome's, JenMdaughlinandDarryl Howard, were extremely emphatic about how they "loved" the food. McLaughlin says "I eat too much because they're so good." When pressed on why the food is so good, Howard simply says "SJU food rocks." Murdoch was also quoted as sayingthat U W establishmentsoffer "competitive prices." This is where students tend to disagree. Carolyn Bentley, aMath Co-op student, said "I have no money, so I go for the best deal I can get." This usually doesn't include Brubaker's, where aslice of pizzaand a Coke can run you just over five dollars, compared to three at Gino's PizzainUniversityplaza.Bentley says she usually eats in the Math and Computerbuilding. Keanie agreed,saying "the food [atBrubacher's] is not alwaysthe best value." Erinsaysthatsheusuallygoes to St.Jerome's to eat "for both quality and price." SimonWoodside, a4B CS student, goes to the Math C&D because "it's cheap, It's got everything,it'scheap.DidIsayit'scheap?" In the final wrap-up, students seem to agree that Waterloo's food is second to none.

OSAP rule to be reviewed Roelw

STEWART Imprint staff

n an effort to make government legislation more consistent, the Ontario government is reviewing the OntarioLimitationsAct. The LimitationsAct defineshow longthe government, or any other corporation may pursue an unpaid debt. Included in the act are restrictionson how long the government may pursue astudentwho has not or will not J pay back their OSAP debt.

"Students shouldn't be tied to their OSAP debts forever" - Mark Schaan -

The changesto theAct currently being ~roposedby the Ministry of' the Attorney General attempt to standardizethe handlingof alldeba. Specifically, the proposed changes would give debtsresultingfromcontracts or torts a two-year limit and debts which arise from regular business transactions, such as a loan, no li&ations on collection. The revised act would include

OSAP debts in the same category as a regular business loan, giving no limitsto the collectionof this debt. In a public consultation document obtained by Imprintthe ministry argues that the government should be treated muchlike avery large corporation. Further, the document suggests that it may often be in the best interest of the public to allow some flexibilityin the collectionof student loan debts. Mark Schaan, Vice-president, Education for the Federation of Students, disagrees. In a recent interview, Schaantoldlmprintthathe felt that students should not be tied to their OSAP debts forever, arguing that astudentmay find him or herself legitimatelyunable to pay back their OSAP debt after graduation. Although Schaan was unaware that under current leeislation. students are already subject to no limitations onthecollectionoftheirOSAPdebt, he didsuggestthat other inconsistencies or weaknesses in the OSAP svstern should make it an exception in the case of limitations. Schaan was particularly concerned that the Litations Act be consistentwith the treatment of student loans under the Federal Bankruptcy Act, which currently prevents studentsfrombeiagdischarged from their student loan debt, even after declaringbankruptcy, until ten years after graduation. Schaan feels that

makiig an exception for student loans under the Bankruptcy Act should necessitate specialconsideration for them under the Limitations Actaswell. . A spokesmanfrom the officeof the Attorney General told Imprint that there really was no inconsistency between the two pieces of legislation. "Not all studentswhofail to repay their student loans are in a situation in which the Bankruptcy Act comes into effect," he said. Further, he pointed outthat thenumber of studentswho would be eligible to be dischargedfromtheirstudent loan debt after the ten year exemption passes is very small, particularly because they mustshowajudgeand the court that they have "acted in good faith" with respect to their Student Loan. Most students subject to the Limitations Act are there ~reciselv because they have not "acted ingood faithn with respect to their Student Loan. While a revised version of the LimitationsActmay.notcomebefore the Provincial Parliament for some time, the opportunityfor studentsto change the way in which student loan debts are handledunderthisAct is coming soon. Schaan and his colleagueswill no doubt be at the forefront of that debate. For more information regardingthis important legidation, contact the Federation of Students.

All of these products are horrendously more expensive than gasoline, and yet we don't hear many consumers complaining, where is the logic? We are paying over three times as much

A great big ES inconvenience

Researching homosexuality

uring my stay at UW, I've written severalletters to Imprint in which I questioned homosexual sexualbehaviour. As aresult, I've, on severaloccasions, been ridiculedand called "homophobe." I've even received aveiledthreat. Most recently my views have been summarizedandmisrepresented-as "anal sexis a very bad thing and being gay is therefore also bad" (Steve Hutton, Imprint, September 1). I would like to take this opportunity to point out that my views relating to homosexuality consist primariiy of the followingthree main points. (1) Medical evidence indicates that there are some serious health problemsclosely associatedwith homosexual sexual behaviour, especially male homosexual sexual behaviour (with emphasis on Hutton's anal "nasty"). Therefore, the portrayal of gay sex as healthy is open to question. Hutton's apparent dismissal of medical evidence (in a book I recommended) because the presenter of the evidence is religiouscommits the ad hominem fallacy, the mistake of irrelevantly attacking the arguer rather than hislher arguments. Hutton's appeal to an Internet article for a critique of this evidence is, however, appropriate and appreciated. I've read the article and will study it further. (2) There is evidence that homosexuals who want to change their sexual orientation can do so. Yes, many fail; but many succeeu, to^. (See National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality and Ex-Gay testimonies at www.stonewallrevisited.com and www.narth.com.) Surely, we should help those who want to change; not discourage them by mocking them and sayingchange is impossible. (3)Dismissing someone's arguments questioning homosexual sexual behaviour as the rantings of a "homophoben is (again) to commit the ad hominem fallacy. .4phobia is an irrational fear. One can have rational concerns about homosexuality, even if those concerns turn out to be mistaken. For the record, I don't hate gays. I have a friend and an associate who are gay. The derailments of courteous, intelligent truth-seeking d~scussion by irrelevant personal attacks, ridicule, name-calling, and intimidation- these I hate.

am contacting you to express my dismay regarding the removal of the Graphic Serviceslocation in ES and to seek some reasonable explanation for the action. I was under the impression that the original plan was to relocate the facility to ESl, which would have added inconvenience for some but wasn't really that much of a change. The seemingly recent decision to leave altogether is leavingmyself and otherswith much confusion and dissatisfaction. In addition to this, the timing of this move is rather questionable,as it is taking place whennobody who will beaffectediseven at the school. The planned timing expresses an understanding that the move will not be taken lightly by those who use the current facility. In the closing of this Graphic Services location we will be losing many vital services: Self-serve photocopies: There are no other machines anywhere nearby except the poor quality one in the UMD library. Large formatprinting/plotting: Apparently the plotter is moving to Main Graphics. This will make it extremely difficultfor ES andarchitecture to use effectively. Large papercutters: Very handy for us, and who clse needs them as much as we do? Large format copies Same as above. Now students wili have to go to K ~ K Ofor ' S this, wnich addsinconvenience, zosr and diificuiry to :-nis process. Colour copies AND printing: Our next nearest option will be Graphics "Express" where the staff often do not know how to accurately fulfil! particuiar orders. Please do iet me know why this is taking place and if any provisions are being made for GraphicServices customers who are being stranded in and around the School of Architecture.

Much deserved thanks To the Editor,

have attended the University of Waterloo for over four yearsnow. During this time, there has been a great shift in the direction of Orientation Week. There have been significant, positive, changes made to the Orientation program that is put on by the Federation Orientation

Advanced 5% troLijsis Institute CfirrjtitaaL.Watson

Committee (FOC). These changes have been carried out by the 800 volunteers for Orientation, not by the University administration or the Federation of Students. These individualsdeservecredit and kudos from the University community for the time and effort they put into Orientation Week. We are extremely proud of these individuals and marvel at their energy, enthusiasm, and the stamina they portrayedlast week during Orientation. All 14 Orientation committees had amazingpeople who performedany taskrequestedof them, whether it be ED Com at 3:30 in the morning stacking tables, OCD doing drivehome, or the faculties doing cleanup after the concertwhich they were unable to even see. We must remember that these people gave up a week of work, deprivedthemselvesof sleep, and ate a steady diet of pizza and hamburgers, so all 4000 first year studentscould have the bestweekof their lives. If you see your frosh leader, make sure to thank himor her. If you know of someone who was a frosh leader lastweek, thank themas well, because they did it the Waterloo Way: the Best Way. On behalf of thestudent body at the University of Waterloo, I extend thanks to each one of these volunteers. - C h r i sFarley, President, FederationofStudents

A queslxonable welcome

ust wondering: Is anyone besldes myself offended Enat President ohnston didn't take the five minutes necessary to write his own welcoming letter to frosh in Imprint, rather than merely quoting one by Prof. Downey from a past year? From the article (Imprint, Sept 1,2000, "Awelcome from the President") "My immediate predecessor as Waterloo's president, Jim Downey, had this to say in welcomingyou all to the University -and I am glad to renew the welcome in exactly the same words. They express so well our delight that you have chosen us and our pride in W?terloo." [...quotes Prof. Downey's 11-paragraph greeting ...] "I hope you find this just as happy and stimulating a place as I have found it. Welcome." I understand that he's a busy man (I mean, we've seen in past Imprint demo..strations of his pressing schedule, including such weighty duties as posing for photos with a RIM pager) but one could reason-

ably expect a personalized, original message to the thousands of students starting next week. * Whether it was because he just didn't care, or because he was actually incapable of improving upon President Downey's words, the use of such a canned, throwaway greeting is an insult.

into Imprint with "The Truth Is out There." The truth is that bigotry should not be propagated in our student newspaper and I would have thought that extra care would have be& taken since it was the Frosh Weekedition. Iam hopingthat something will be done about this.

Rampant anti-cartoonism

Hagey responds

To the Editor,

ast week, a friend askedour opinion of a comic in Imurint entitled 'The Truth is Out e here.' We were appalled to see such an obviously racist message contained in our school newspaper under the guise of satire. The comic text speaks of zombies, but is clearlyreferringto immigrants in a derogatory manner. The article calls on the reader to stop "our country [from being] swamped by lazy drooling zombies [immigrants]," otherwise "livingpeople [non-immigrants]will become the minority in their own world." Several concerned individuals, including ourselves, approached the editor of Imprint with our concerns. He told us the comic was satirising those who hold anti-immigrant sentiments by exaggeratingtheir prejudice vlews. We belleve the author and editor both mssed the mark. The comlc does not succeea ~nmockmg racist vlews, bur rather appears to support them. We have shown thts piece TO numerous people. Some don"t un derstanci ~t at al;, others are very offended, but we have yet to ftnd someone who gets the author's "intended" message. Consideringthe response tothis comlc, we ask Imprint to post an ex~ianationof this comic's intentions in the forthcoming issue of the paper. Additionally, Imprint should provide context when it decides to print seemingly offensive messages. If this were our first week at Waterloo, and had read this article, being unaware of Imprint's lack of judgement and taste, we would be very worried about our next few years here. -Joshua

Yan &Raphael Ronen

More cartoon talk To theEditor,

ithout soundingtoo politically correct, I have to say that one Graham ~ukesomehows1i~~;d of the most discriminating cartoons

feel compelled to respond to a letter from Ed Papazian in the Sept. 1issue of Imprint with regard to my column from July 14. I completely agree with Papazian's point that "the most important aspect of a person's faith is their personal relationship with Christ." The whole point of my column over the past year, including the column in question, was to emphasize that very point. However, I would point out again, as I didin that column, that not every person or organization which claims to be Christian really is. The fact that some people who are indeed Christians would associate themselveswithso called "churches" whose teachings are in direct contradiction to the Bible seems very bizarre to me.

Ride a scooter through Naxos, meet cheesy folks A Greek island jaunt turns to adventure for one touring student r

KENNY DEHRABIG . special to Imphi

'd been o r the Greek island of Naxos for about half a day when I decided that the best way to get around was to rent a scooter. I'd already walked through the main town Hora, (where I was staying), and realized there was an abundunce of places to rent a scooter. As per backpacker routine, I set out to find the best bargain. I got the hang of it quickly after that and rode around the countryside for a few hours. As I was making my way back, I noticed a sign for Mount Zeus, the island's higheapeak.The peak didn't interest me, buta second sign pointing to a cave half way up the mountain sounded like a neat place to exvlore before heading- back to town. The cave was a fair size, and the atmosphere was mostly what I'd always expected a real cave to be like: dkk, dank and moist. On the way down, I thought I'd take a shorr cut down some smooth rock. I ended way off trail up on some P g land for mountain shecp,@th three separate fences keeping me from thinail about 25 m e h e s b The first one was a rickety old square wire fence. I tried climbing part of it, hummed and hawed and decided I'd try to find a better place to get over. As I turned tomy right to head towards a tree, some motion caughtmy eye. Thesheepwuldhave cared less that I was there, but the sheep dogs guarding them discovered my presence and decided that all I needed Hias a little additional motivation. The first one ran up to the fence a b u t 30metresaway, then his buddy joined him at his side. "Well, it's the fence or themn passed through my head as I dashed for the fence and ium~ed over.

I'd climbed the next fence to make sure they didn't have fence jumping asanadditionaltalent. In the process, I sliced open my hand, elbow thigh, left side of my trunk, and ripped my shirt. That night, I decided I'd get outraguouslydrunk. The night started well, with cheap Greekresinated wine and ouzo to warm me up and calm my nerves.

Anti-Consumerism events offer different takes on life GREG MACDOUGALL special to Imprint

his coming Thursday, September 21 is World Car Free Day. It is planned to help raise awarenessthat as a society, we cannot continue driving our cars as we currently do, and expect our planet to makeit safely into the 22nd century. On this day, people around the world are urged not to use a car, but to instead, try usingamore environmentally-friendly method of transportation to get around. Walk, run, bke, rollerblade, scoot, or take the bus or train. Do whatever you need to do so that you can say, "I didn't further pollute our environment this day." I recently returned from two weeksinNorthern Irelandand Scotland. One thing I noticed was the absence of big cars-virtually all cars were small to mid-sized, and there wasan absenceof minivansandSWs.

W grad student Alison Lobsinger is part of a new generation of university students -people for whom borders mean little, whether it's the demarcationbetween countriesor academic disciplines. A student in Environment and Resource Studies, Lobsinger is currently in Indonesiawhereshe is starting the research for her Master's thesis, asocial studythat looksat how people live their lives in an upland community. "Traditionally, most land use and development has taken place in lower-lyingareas,"sheexplains,"but, as the Indonesian populatiotl grows andasneed for food, space, et cetera increases, people are moving into what used to be less desirable land, such as the uplands area. "So, I'm looking at how people are changing and adaptingtheirlivelihoodsinresponseto changesaround them." Lobsinger's research involves analyzingawholerange of data from

a number of different sources, includingstatisticsand mapsfromgovernment ministries and key informant interviews with government officials and various non-eovernmentalorganizations(hGOs$ By far, the most imoortant datacollection.however, involvesinterviewingvillagers who are directly affected by uplands migration. Lobsinger's research is being conducted in association with she Universitv Consomumon the Environment (USE),which is part of the Collaborative EnvironmentalProiect in Indonesia (CEPI). According to Lobsinger, CEPI works with government agencies doing environmental-relatedwork, while "UCE sends Indonesian studentsto Canada to do their Master's degreesinthe ES facultiesat UW and York and sends Canadian UW and York students to Indonesia to do their thesis research. "UCE makes life much siioler as a grad student doing research; it savesus from having to spend a year or more trying to get research permits." At the moment there are six

Canadian studentsworking in IndonesiawithUCE, includingUwgraduate studentsMarleneDoyle andJodi Browne. WhileLobsinger'sworkwill take place largely in upland villages, she has been trying to ensure that her research has a sturdy enough foundation. "I haven't actuallygotten to my village yet," she says. "I've been in Indonesia for six weeks, but three of them were spent in Yogyakarta in Javaattemptingtolearn howto speak Indonesian. "Now in Makassar, my time is being taken up with trying to find research assistants who speak English, Indonesian, Makassarand Bugis, gettingvisas extended ,and trying to get letters from all lyels of government in Sulawesi saying I can interview people and gather informtion." For those aspects of her thesis preparation that involve communication with her contacts back in Canada, access to the World Wide Web has been invaluable. "The Internet has made life so much easier," she says. "I can send

ou know that feeling you get when you're waiting for something, you're totally up for it and can't wait to get into it. but you just have to wait. You're pumped, you're eager, you'reready, but it doesn't matter.. .you just have to wait. Well, that's how the members of the Waterloo track and field team feel right now. Instead of running track in the fall, Canadian Intercollegiate Athletes Union track and field is now a winter sport. There's typically one meet before Christmas; the rest of the season runs January and February, and the OntarioUniversityAthleticsandCIAUchampionshipsareat the start of March. People got a little smarter -it's indoor track now. For those of you who don't know, indoor track is a bit different from what you're going to see in Sydney over the next couple of weeks. Indoor tracks are only 200111 long, as opposed to the outdoor 400m. The other race distances are the 300111, 600111, 1,00Om, 1,50Om, and 3,000m. There's also the 60m hurdles,longjump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, weight throw and shot put. There are also relays - the 4~400m,4xlOOm,the4x200mand the 4x800111. Finally, there is the pentathalon, which consists of 60m hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put and the 800m. The Waterloo team has been doing quite well the past couple of years, and that's why they can't wait for this coming season to get underway. Unfortunately,thisschool doesn't have its own indoor track and does not play host to any of the

Athletes of the Week

Greg Bourne Warrior Football

Wendy Moffett Warrior Field Hockey

Afourth-yearMechanical Engineering student from Mississauga,Greg was the defensive standout this past weekend in the Warriors 41-33 defeat against McMaster. He made a critical interception late in the first half to stop aMcMaster scoringdrive and was called upon in the second half to defend against McMaster's top receiver. Greg knocked down numerous passes slowing down the high-powered air attack of the Marauders and made several tackles in run support. Next game for the Warriors is September 16, when Waterloo visits Toronto.

A third-year Science student from Sussex, New Brunswick, Wendy was instrumental in leading the Warriors to a 2-0 victory over the University of New Brunswick anda 1-1 tie against the always tough University of Toronto Blues, in exhibition play. Against the University of Toronto, Wendy played exceptional defense marhng and outplayed the Varsity Blues National team forward. Wendy also initiated a number of attacking runs in both games. The Warriors next action is September 17-18, when Waterloo plays Trent and Guelph in Toronto.

rosh Week 2000 may have been a great time for the leaders and young innocent freshmenwho probably don't knowwhat an eight-track is, but for Athletics Canada it was a week of sheer unadulterated hell. FromHolger Osieck'ssquadto Robin Lyons and Eric Lamaze to the tour de farce knownas the Montrtal Expos, this nation hasshown that if international sport was a party, Canada would be the boorish guest who throws up on himself in a drunken stupor. So, where shall we begin? Let's startwith an easy one. After the Gold Cup last year, there was renewed optimism in Canada's soccer team. And why not? After all, Canada had managed to upset Mexico in the quarter-finals, Trinidad andTobago in the semifinals and Columbia to win the title. And with the likes of Paul Fenwick, David Xaus2 and goalkeeper Pat Onstad, it appeared that the Canadians may actually have a shot at making the grade at World Cup 2002. Unfortunately, the soccer players in red and white had trouble scoring in the CONCACAF semifinals.Theresultwasahumiltating 2-0 loss In Edmonton against Trinldad and Tobago, an atrocious scorelessdraw in Panama City and a 2-0 loss at Azteca Stadtum in

Mexicothat gave an impressionthat Canada was better than they really were. What's worse, Jack Werner, head of CONCACAF and resident jerk for Trinidad and Tobago, degraded the Canadiansby statingthat Canada did not deserve to win the Gold Cup. You'd think that would rile the Canucks into action. Nope, didn't happen! On September3, the dream of going to Japan died hideouslywith a4-0 shellackingat Port of Spain. Across the country, fans of Canadian soccer asked, "Oh why, Osieck, hath thou forsaken us?" Next on the list are the pair who obviously graduated from the Ben Johnson Schoolof Athletics. The first Canadian to be caught last week was Robin Lyons, who was going to be competing in the hammer throw. EricLarnaze The next day.equestrian .< was caught with drugs in his system. WhileLyonswasfoundto be positive in theNandrolone category, Lamaze was foundsnorting the other kind of Canadian snow, if you know what I mean. Both of these athletes are trying to appeal the results, but it appears that both Lyons and Lamaze are in a class that currently includes such fine members as Steve Vezina, Eric Chevrier, Ross Rebagliati and Cheryl Thibedeau. Finally, there is a team that is

more bushleaguethanmajor league. Yes, the Montrtal Expos, mired in a fight with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies for last place in the major leagues, are living proof that people can screw up the Lord's Prayer even if it was written out in large letters. Sure, it began well when new owner Jeffery Loria promised to turn the team around and provide a new facility to replace the crumbling 01ympic Stadium. But with minority stockholders threatening to sue the owners and the plans to build a new park deader than Ayatollah Khomeni, is it any wonder that Virginia isstarting to look really attractive? Sure, Vfadimir Guerrero and Jose Vidro are the stars for the sad sack Expos and Felipe Alou is doing his best asthe captain of the Montrtal Titanic, but this franchise might as well be the Virginia Expos as far as Canadians are concerned. With these kinds of athletes, I wonder if "Joe Canadian" would be so proud of the second largest landmass in the world. I am Canadian? No thanks, I'dratherbe ascot. Sure, that wouldmeanenduringjokesabout sheep-banging, penny-pinchingand kilt-wearing, but at least their athletes don't use dope and they actually give a damn!

Veruca Salt: crunchier than ever before Special to Imprint

aturday, September 16, UW's own Fed Hallis the hostto altrock legends Veruca Salt, fronted by Louise Post. Verucadrummer Jimmy Madla IS psyched about his band's first Waterloo show. He spoke with Imprint about the healmg power of Home Improvement, pop muslc, andveruca Salt's ass kickin' tour.

Imprint: How d ~ you d get involved w ~ t Veruca h Salt? Jimmy Madla: Actually, I hadn't played drums for about hve years before I jomed the band, I was workIng as a chef, and I was hangmg out w ~ t hLou~se[Post] because I was friends w ~ t both h Louse and (former Verqcav~xen)Nina [Gordon]. Then that whole spl~thappened (between Post and Gordon). Lou~sewas demomg stuff for the new record and she was flymg t h ~drummer s 1nfromL.A. andsomeone s a ~ dto her, "Hey, you don't ? need to fly a drummer ~ n There's plenty of drummers here In Chicago," andshewashke, "Who?"And then my name came up and she was hke, "I drdn't even know he played drums!" So then she called me at work d domg some demos, do and s a ~ "I'm you want to come m? It doesn't mean

you're intheband, I'l1,give you $100 to help me lay these songs down on tape in the studio." Then the first night that we played together we just got along so well that she asked me to ioin

you listen to the new record, it has thatVerucaSaltsoundtoit,although I think it's a little more rock. I: Inthe liner notes you thankthe cast

ment, which wasstrange because she hated the show. I think it started as a joke cuz we woutd turn it on and be like, "Hey Louise, check it out," and stick her face in the T.V. But

JM: I don't even know who to put into that categorybecause radio now is justreally weird to me. Alot of the music on the radio now I'm not really into. I'm not gonnaname any names, but there'ssome realcrap bands and they're just bemg played so much that kidsmust think~t'scool:"They put this on ten times today, I better go out and buy it." I'm so hopmg that it turns around and people start liking rockagain. I thinkcomputers ruined ~tfor everyone.

I: Has play~ngthe mater~allive changed your att~tudetowards the mater~aland the d ~ r e c t ~ oVeruca n Salt 1s headmg? JM: Actually I'm hopmg ~t'shead~ng Into a harder thmg.

Weezer rises from the ashes at Phoenix ERIN DAVEY special to Imprint

t's been a few years sinceWeezer has released a new album. Well, the lucky people who were at their show at the Phoenix in Toronto on August 31 got a taste of their upcoming release. Luck was what people needed

to get a ticket to that show because apparently it sold out in less than half an hour. Scalped tickets were going for $150 to $200. Walking to the venue, and even driving down the street on our way there, I was asked if I had extra tickets. People were hanging around and looking for someone who had a spare ticket. Obviouslythis was amuch more

highly-anticipated show than I had originally gathered. I knew that Weezer had a following, but I didn't think it was that big. Not to say that they aren't deserving- I have been a big fan for years. Itwasjust asurprising thing to discover. Judging by what was going on even before the show started and by how fast tickets sold out, it seems that Weezer has many hardcore fanswho are willing to pay alot to see the band play. Solet'sget to theshow. Opening up was Dynamite Hack, arock band slowly gainingrecognitioninCanada. They were a nice warm-up for what was to come. As photographers squeezed the~rway through the crowd of people to get m front of the stage, the securltyguardswarned them to watch the~rheads. It was easy to understand why the guards would say that -w~thpeoplesqu~shedtotheguardrail, and into each other, it looked like the kind of crowd that could get a little jumpy. This was a concert where there was a much h~gherconcentration of males ~nattendance than females. It was nlce to go to a show where gds' screaming d ~ d not overpower the

band's music. As soon as the house music shut off and the lights dimmed, the cheering was nearly deafening. Weezer opened their set with an old song, "My Name is Jonas," and then played "El Scorchon from their last disc, Pinkerron. Everyonewassinging and jumping around. Fortunately, the body surfers held off until later in the show. To test outthecrowd reaction to the new album, the band showcaseda few new songs. These sounded a lot like the other Weezer tracks: indie rockish, heavier, upbeat and catchy. Throughout the whole set, the crowdwassingingalongto every song, especially "Buddy Holly," "Undone -the Sweater Song" and "Say it Ain't So," all hits from their self-titled album. Weezer was dressed as on the cover of the CD: geeky, cool style. Lead smger, Rivers Cuomo had his glasses and plaid shirt on, and the other band members were adorning polyester and/or plaid as well. The word cute came to my mind when they walked on stage. Maybe that's just the way I think, or maybe they are just really cute. One thtngaboutweezerwasthat

they didn't talk to the crowd too much, but this can be kind of nice when you really like the music. When the band walked off the stage, everyone in the audience chanted "Weezer" until they came out again and played "You Give Your Love to me Softly," a song from the soundtrack to the movie &F.

As lwas leavingthe show, I saw that Weezer attracts fans from the musicindusuy aswell, againmaking me aware that they have a lot more fans than I thought. The leadsingerfrompunkband Sum 41was there, as was GreigNori of Treble Charger, membersof indie rock bandThe Weekend, andmembers of hard rock band Scratching Post (all of which toldme they thoroughly enjoyed the show). It's nice to see musicians supporting each other. Overall, the show kicked total ass. They played the favouritesfrom their self-titled album, some from Pinkerton, and a few new songs as well. The new album will for sure be worth picking u p there was definitely a good reason why this show sold out so fast.

anniversary with special events, including a series of ten shorts called TheP r e l h . Ten well-known Canadian directors (including .Don McKellar, Patricia Rozema and David Cronenberg) were commissioned to create shorts celebrating the anniversary, which are running before some of the filmsthroughout the festival. As well. there was a s~ecialretrospective program of standout films in the festival's history. As always, the films were divided into categories including Galas, Contemporary World Cinema, Planet Africa and Midnight Madness. Thisyearthe categories include a retrospective of the illustrious career of Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liasons, My Beautiful Launderette) and a series of films adapted from plays by SamuelBeckett. It would be impossible to describe films fromevery category, so I will just give you a brief review of some films at this year's festival.

Were the world a fair and just place, first-time director MiaTrachinger's Bunny would be the hit of the year. This filmmixeshilariousabsurdity with moving drama. It tells the story of acouple, Nik and Luda, who escape from an unnamed war-torn country to the United States. Unable to findworkin America, the couple settle for jobsas street corner bunnies. Dressedin pinkbunnycostumes, they must squat on a corner and hop all day while listening (but never responding) to the problems of the city's emotionally damaged people. Nik and Luda respond differently to their jobs: Luda loves the feelingof belongingitbrings,but Nik is increasingly frustrated that he is not allowed to comfort the clients. These differencescause rifts in their relationship. As hokey as the plot sounds, Bunny isabout much more than pink bunny suits. The film acts as a surrealisticcritique of America, a study of the treatment of refugees, and a hu-

man story of the pressuresof making relationshipswork. It's funny in many places, but also incredibly moving as Nik and Luda, so completely in love at the beginning of the film, drift apart. Bunny'slow budget only shows that all you need to make agreat film in the United States is a novel idea and a talented crew.

suspicious River Lynne Stopkewich burst onto the Canadian film scene in 1997 with her debut, Kissed, the controversial story of a female necrophiliac. Stopkewich's follow-up, Suspicious River, is equally as controversial, but not quite as original. Kissed star Molly Parkerturns in an excellent performance as Leila, a zombie-like married woman who prostitutes herself out to male customersatthe motel wheresheworks. Leila falls for Gary, a seedy drifter (played by Callum Keith Rennie using one of the fakest Southern accents in recent film history) who degrades and humiliates her. Although the film isvisuallystunning, it lacks the spark of freshness that madeKissedsuccessful.The story is largely predictable and filled with

Chang Younhyun's Tell Me Somethingisastylishserialkiller movie that was immensely popular in its native South Korea. The film is definitely not for the squeamish - heads roll and blood splatters in many gross-out scenes. The plot centres on a series of murders in which the killer dismembers victimsandmixesup their body parts. There are lots of twists and turns and red herrings as two police detectives try to stop the killer. The film isvery slickand stylish, althoughit isdichtd, featuringallthe serial killer movie conventions: loner cop, woman whomay or may not be in peril, etc. TellMeSomethingisthrilling entertainment for those whose tastes lean toward the more violent side.

Brave N i Land In Brave New Land, Brazilian director LbciaMurat tackles the conquest of the Guaicuru Indians by the Portugese in what later became Brazil. The plot deals with the events leading up to the massacre at the Portuguese controlledFort Coimbra. Murat has done a massive amount of research, which included a year of livingonaresewation of the Guaicurus' ancestors. Murat chose notto subtitle the Guaicuru dialogue in an effort not to trivialize the complex language. At first this is confusing, but ultimately the people are so expressivethat subtitles are not necessary. Brave New Land is a sensitive and moving portrayal of a people fighting to keep their dignity in a world that is no longer their own. These are a few examplesof the wide variety of filmsat the festival. In its 25-year history, the festival has brought the very best andworst from aroundthe worldto Toronto. Hopefully it will continue to d o so for the next 25 years and beyond.

the album sort of limps along until "All I Ever Wanted," an uplifting little ditty about love and friendship. The limp then turnsinto a crawl until the album ends and we are given a taste of what used to make this man famous. "Someday" and "My Town," two of GlassTiger's most successfui tracks pick up the pace. The CD closes with two more tracks, both from Frew'spreviousforaysintosolo musicianshp. On hsWeb site, Frew statesthat for the music on this album, he wanted "aslight 'less is more' kind of attitude." In this case it works out for us too: Go buy less Alan Frew CDs and keep more money in your pocket!

frontman, Alan Frew, is here. Almost a decade after one of Canada's super-pop bands disbanded, breaking the hearts of thousands of teenaged girls, Alan, and the teenagers, have all grown up. Some of Glass Tiger's former fans are lawyers or doctors now; some are finishingdegrees;some are sitting at home watching television. But almost none of themknowwhat Alan Frew is up to. And after listening to his newest project, neither do I. The opening track, "Open for a Friend" has a distinctive Canadian flavour and sound, complete with a slightly Celtic feel, highlighted by a violin solo by Ashley McIsaac.

Jill Sobule is a complicated musical figure because she can stun listeners with brilliance as often as she can shun them with drudgery. Thislatest album,PinkPearl, is hit andmiss, just as Sobule's musical repertoire has been up until now. he songsonthisalb"m tend to be narratives ("Lucy at the Gym,"

"Claire"), social andlor politicalcommentaries("Mary Kay"), orautobiographical in nature ("One of These Days," "Mexican Wrestler"). Unfortunately, Sobule falters on many counts. Her narrative style is strained and repetitive, her sociaUpolitical songs are trite, and her autobiographical sketches are somewhat bland. While there are attempts at meaningful - sentiments within the songs, Sobule'slyrics tend to be more ineffectualthan ~otent.What is lacking, for the most part, is emotional sincerity. The production value and musical arrangements save the album. Lush strings, quirky horns, driving drums, and dancing bass lines prevent Pink Pearl from being mundane. Sobule's sweet voice is com~lemented by light and intricate guitars, whilebciigsimultaneouslysubverted

by weird sound glitches and eerie piano. There are quite a few strong musical offerings on thisalbum. "The Guy Who Doesn't Get Itnhasacountry swagger to it, which makes it an interesting and surprising listen. "Rainy Daynisextremelycatchy,and "New Mexico" has a beauttful melody. Sobule also capitalizes on the 1960s' swinging disco trend (made popular again thanks to the Austin Powers empire) with "Someone's Gonna Break Your Heart." The songthat succeedsthe most, however, is "Heroes," which showcasesSobule'sgreatest~trength: witty, biting satire. In this song, Sobule presentsa fairly simple, yet relevant, message within alight-heartedmusical and lyrical frame. Overal1,PinkPearl isawell-produced, worthwhile disc. Although it has many kinks that could be ironed out, perhapsJi S o m efanslikethings alittle kinky.

Oil paintings and rusted sheet steel B E N SCHOTT special to Imprint

lways one to try new things, I embarked on a journey to Kitchener's City Hall earlier this weekto view the art exhibitionof University of Waterloo graduate, Karin Rabuka. I found the exhibition in the Rotunda Gallery, close to the front entrance of the building. Ididn't know what to expect, as I profess not to be well versed in the intricaciesofmodern art. However, uponarrivaI, 'was immediately drawn into the exhibit like a wideeyed toddler discoveringthe world outside of his crib for the first time. Ms. Rabuka has created a very unique form of expression. In most instances in the exhibit, a workconsisted of an oil painting on canvas enclosed by an exterior of rusted steel. Glimpses of the paintings beneath are visible through the holes in this exterior of steel.

These holes will gradually become larger as the rust doesits work, revealing more of the picture beneath. Thus, the art is aliving,changingwork. "No longer am I the artist, in control. The rust becomes the artist as the paintings continue to change and flux." describes&uka, who holds an honours degree in Fine h t s from the University of Waterloo. In other works in the exhibit. Rabuka cre: ated images directly on large (36" x 42") pieces of rusting steel. For example, in "The Sparrow," one can see a black and green sparrow in the midst of a rust-coloured forest of trees. In this work it looks as if the rust was painted directly onto the steel. Rubuka created the images on the steel using acidsand chemicals to change the stagesof the rust. She has perfected her own technique of em-

"The paintings parallel our lives. It is the life experience that comes with the decay that broadenS us. "

bedding images in steel. Rabukaalsoused an acetylene torch, borrowed from Ray's Auto Service in Kitchener, to create holes in the rusted steel in several of the exhibited works. In another work titled, "Consider the Lilies," the process of a lily progressing from bud to bloom is characterizedin seven successive 17" x 14" works, each revealing more of the picture of the lily beneath the steel. The seventh and final picture, a lily in full bloom,isonly outlinedin the rusted steel illustratingthe battle between life and decay. Rabuka describes her work as "life coming out both spiritually and naturally" in the art. "These paintings parallel our human lives, for as we decay andgrow older, our hves continue to be enriched with wisdom, faith and personal growth," says Rabuka. "It is the life experience that comes with the decay that broadens us." The collection can be viewed at

no cost throughout September at Kitchener's City Hall from 7 a.m. until midnight, Monday to Saturday, and 11 a.m. until midnight on Sundays.

Those interested can also see more of Rabuka's workat Mcjarrows Gallery in Conestogo (664-3053), or by visiting Karin at Globe Studios in Kitchener at 141 Whitney Place.
