Task force to begin on universities ROBIN

r

STEWART

Imprint staff

he Ontario government has announced the creation of a new task force to study posside efficienciesinadminisvativefuncioks, includinginformation technolgy, procurement, and data collecion.

The "Investing in Students rask Force," a five-member panel, vill start its work immediately and eport back to the government at the nd of January 2001.

The Task Force will be chairedby alynn Bennett, a leading consultant n Strategic Planning who hasa track

record of success in creating public and private sector partnerships.The other four members are the president of theuniversity of Alberta, the president of the Nova Scotia Community College, the CEO of Hydro One Networks Inc., and a lawyer from Toronto.

The make-up of the Task Force is just one of the elementswhich has drawn the ire of student leaders.

Richard Telfer, a member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Federation of Students, Ontario Branch (CFS-0), called the Task Force a "PR stunt" masqueradingas a mechanismof accountability.

Telfer was particularly con-

cerned that the Task Force membership represented a continuation of the "colonization of universities by narrow, private sector interests."

Mark Schaan, Vice President Education for W s own Federation of Students, seemedmore concerned that the government was wasting money studyinguniversitieswhen it should already know that they require more investment.

Schaan did, however, share the CFS-0's concern about the possible bias on the panel, "our only concern," he told Imprint, "is that the panel is not neutral and that it is not lookingfor thebest solution,it's looking for the 'Mike Harris Solution'."

Students oppose sanctions against Iraq u

KATIE. SHAFLEY special to Imprint

A

n exhibit this past week in the Student Life Centre forced students to confront some :ontroversial and difficult questions ,egarding the legacy of 1990's Gulf War. The students were attempting o draw attention to the UN-imposed ;andons that have had serious re,ercussions for Iraq.

Thewar left a lastingimpression )n our generation. We can all conureup imagesof sand-coloured tanks, i l fires in Kuwait and, of :ours, Saddam Hussein.

But what happened af.er the war? As far as most ~eopleare aware, after the U N stepped in to help reiolve the conflict, the raging Middle Eastern countries iettleddown into apeaceful moutine of commerce and ndustry. After all, Iraq's weaponsof mass-destruction were supposedly destroyed and the North American public were able to resume their livps without any further thought on the subject.

However, attention isnow being focused back on Middle Eastern isrues. Immediately after Iraq's war tffortwas defeated, the UNbegan to lmpose economic sanctions on the people of the country. Originally, the mctions were supposed to be lifted after Iraq destroyed its weapons of mass destruction. Now that the weapons are gone, the sanctions are being held, under the premise that Hussein's government is still a potential threat to non-Arab countries, mainly the United States.

The sanctions are a means of controlling imports and exports within Iraq. Restrictions on the import of medication and food have reportedly caused great suffering among the Iraqi people, as malnutrition and disease run rampant in a country whose healthcare systemwas once one of the world's best. The

sanctionshavegonesofarthatyoung people in the education system are not even allowed to use pencils, as the graphite is a potential ingredient in the manufacture of weaponry.

Rayan Yahfoufi, a student in theComputerScienceMaster'sprogram at Waterloo, is one of the five people who collaborated to launch the sanctionsexhibit.

Originally from Lebanon, Yahfoufi has a personal interest in the matter. In hisview, it isnot only the UN who is doing wrong by imposing sanctions. Saddam Hussein is

ernment has since supposedly destroyedits weapons, butrepresentatives from theUNconcede that with the sanctionslifted, Hussein will not hesitate to re-build them.

Nor has Hussein been completely co-operative with the sanction regime. There have been reportsofhisspendingmoney ongovernmentbuildingsand palaces, rather than addressingthe problems of his people. As well, UN representatives are being denied access into areas of Iraq that are potential sites for weapon storage or manufacture.

Another aspect of the sanctions that is little mentioned by those opposingthe wsdecisions isthe "oil for food" program. After imposingthesanctions,theUNrecognized the suffering that was going on within Iraq. offers were made to cqnduct limited commerce; necessary supplies would be imported in exchange for the export of oil. These offers were declined several times until 1996 when Hussein agreed to a revised version of the original program.

Now, medicine and food supplies have increased in Iraq. Food rations have gradually increased for civilians, as has the volume of oil permitted for export. The UN's aim is not to keep thefountry in poverty, but to allow adequate nutrition and medical care while ensuringalack of military power in Iraq.

While there are those who feel Iraq's capacity for power has been permanently destroyed by the sanctions, there are also those who believe the sanctions are a necessary toolin keeping the Iraqi threat away from the North American public.

One can believe in the brutality of sanctions by looking at pictures of starvation and bombings. Or, one can believe that the sanctions are essential just by imagining the destruction that an unmonitored Iraa may be capable of.

They were meant to be a means t~ weaken the government, but they are not working. w

alsocausingsufferingby allowinghis citizens' quality of life to diminish while he raises his own. "People are stuck between him and the sanctions. Both are hurting the Iraqi people."

Although the causeof the sanctions might be justifiable, Yahfoufi says, "The sanctions are counterproductive. They were meant to be ameans to weaken the government, but they are not working." Instead of Hussein's power being overthrown, the Iraqi people are left to sufferthe consequencesof theirleader's decisions a decade ago. Over one millioncivilianshave died, many of themchildren,through UNbombings, disease, and malnutrition since the Gulf War. Thisisonly one sideof the story.

Although they seem unjust and inhumane, the sanctions are believed bv. manv. to be a necessarv. Drecaution. Initially, they wereimposed as a non-militant measure to force the disarmament of 1raq:TheIraqigov-

.

Although University of Waterloo President David Johnston told the University Senate that "[Reporting to the Task Force] is not something1 am looking forward to with a great deal of enthusiasm," the adminisaationdoesnotseemconcerned about the outcomeof theTask Force's report.

"I don't think we Kave a lot to fear," notedvice-presidentAcademic and Provost Jim Kalbfleisch in an interview with Imprint. Kalbfleisch also had confidence in the members of theTask Force, noting particularly that University of Alberta President Rod Fraser had several years of distinguished service at Queen's University before moving out west.

1h fact, the council of Ontario universities, a lobby group r e p n sentingOntario'sUniversities,isconfident that the Task Force will strengthen their case that Ontario Universitiesrequiresig~ficantadditionaldollars before they will be prepared to handlethe incominggrowth.

Schaan also agreed with

Kalbfleisch'sassessment that Waterloo had little to fear, remarking on UW's lean administrative structure.

UW is also likely to receive kudos for its projects, like itscollaborationwith Wilfrid Laurier University ,and the University of Guelph onTRELLIS, a shared library cataloguing system between the three institutions.

In apress release from theMinistry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Minister Dianne Cunningham said, "We know our post-secondary system will experiencesignificantgrowth over the next few years. . T o prepare for that increased demand," she continued "the task force will provide advice and recommendationsto ensure that [previous investements] and future spending in this period of growth continue to be invested in a better education for all out students."

In the coming months, we shall ' find out whether or not the "InvestinginStudentsTaskForce"becomes just that, or becomes the "Cutting fromUniversitiesTaskForce."

Co-op to get new home KATE SCHWASS Imprint staff

A

new building to house Cooperative Education and Ca reer Serv- ices has been proposed for opening in 2002. "While I'm pleased, extremely pleased, that co-op is getting a new building, it's clearthat fitting it into the mere $8.7 million provided is going to be very problematic," commented an outspoken co-op student, Simon Woodside.

The currentco-op officesarein Needles Hall, which many co-op students feel is insufficient for several reasons. Currently, many staff members in Needles Hall relocate their own offices duringthecoOP hiring process to make room for interviews. Many of the interview rooms have walls that don't touch the ceilingsand employers and studentsalikefind thecramped auarters less than desirable. ';meedles Hall is] hardly the worldclassdigsfor UW's flagship program," stated Woodside.

The new building plans, which were presented to the student consultation, will include 100rooms for office space, change rooms, acoffee shop, student lounge, Careers Resource Center, administration rooms. as well as extra interview rooms that can be used as study rooms ineveningsandduringexams. These rooms will make the co-op process more effective for both students and employers and will surpass the current situation in Needles Hall.

The new building will also possibly house a student office. "The original plan didn't call for one, but I lobbied for it and we now have one planned for the new building ,"says Woodside, who personally pushed for the student office.

Woodside claims that, while the building will be twice the size co-op currently is, the expected 43,500 square feet won't be big e-nough.

"Double isn'tbigenough.in fact,it7s

not even close. The new buildingwill be dwarfed by Math and Engineering buildings, which are 6 to 12times bigger."

AccordingtoJanna Hickson, the student representative on the co-op building committee, "The architects presented the space allocation diagram anditwasway bigger than what we currently have." Alarger building would have been nice but "that really isn't feasible or financiallyresponsible. This is the first publicly funded building at a university." Hickson is "very impressedwith the way things have operated so far," and is glad that the architects have listened to the concernsof the buildingcommittee.

T h e

Students will play

an integral part in both its design and operation.

~~~~~~, the newco10cation

d e t e r -

Woodside thinks it may be located between South Campus Hall andArts Lecture Hall so that itwould be "in agoodspot to be seen from the road as a sign of UW's pride in coop." However, Hickson said that the location "hasn't been fully approved yet. The site has to be approved by a whole bunch of committees, including the President's Advisory Committee on Design, the Board of Directors, et cetera. There are several options being considered."

Co-op students and the new building are getting the support of the Federation of Students with the help of VP Education, Mark Schaan.

"The Federation of Studentsare very excited about this growth oppourtunity for the university and are equally excited that students will play an integralpart in bothitsdesign and operation."

Work will be getting underway very shortly. Co-op students are encouraged to contact Hickson if they have any concernsor questionsabout the new building by emailing her at jclhicks@engmail.uwaterloo.ca Schaan also sits on the committee alongwithHickson so any comments or concerns can also be directed to him through the Feds office.

Women march to take back the night in Kitchener BRENDA special

T

BEATTY

to Imprint

his past Thursday evening, 300 to 400 women and children gathered in Victoria Park, Kitchener, to "Take Back the Night."

The annual march is organized to highlight the extreme prevalence of violence against women in society and the fact that few people are comfortableaddressingthe issue and making active pronouncements against it.

Despite extreme diversity in life experiencesandexpectattons among the marchers, a powerful feeling of unity was achieved between the babies, senior citizens,students, mothers and even the supporters along the route (including the men who also gathered together in order to cheer the marchers on).

This year's participants had fewer negative remarks directed towards them, but there was one "gentleman" drivinghiscar on King Street who quickly turned the mood of many marchers when he shook his head in anger andmuttered, "Bunch of fuckin' bitches."

This, however, did not defeat the marchers or dampen their spirits, but rather served to heighten the awareness of their exact reason for

being there and increased their resolve that the march was necessary.

The annual "Take Back the Night" march continues to be extremely controversial, not because women are condemningviolence in society and reclaiming their streets, but because of the seemingly exclusive nature of the segregation of the sexes.

Although most women would readily admit that an integral part of the night is an attempt to alter and draw attention to men's views of violence against women - specifically, making it less socially acceptable- men are not invited to accompany the marchers along their path.

Oraganizers argue that t h i s ~ l e is intrinsic to the march, as the purpose of the niglit is reclamation. This was the one nightwhen any woman, regardlessof physical strengthor selfdefencetraining, can feel completely safe while walking through downtown streets without asking a male friend or relative to accompany her "just so that she will feel a little bit more comfortable."

Everybodyshould feel comfortable whiie walking in their own neighbourhood. Men who encourage the marchers and recognize that their function is integral to the march, symbolize that there is hope. The message denouncingviolence against

women is indeed being learned.

Sharmda Setaran, a veteran of the march described it as "an excellent opportunity for women of all agesin the community to gather and increasetheir awarenessaboutwomen's rights."

In the days followingthe march, many people commented on the minimal media coverage that this

event has received. It is notable that an international event that has been occurring annually for almost 20 years is still relegated to second page and editorial page coverage in the local newspaper.

Many people voiced their concern that even onaslow news day, an event that attracted more than 300 people was not a significant event.

This event however, appears to be gaining momentum each year.

With 100more participants this year than at any previous march, and vocal encouragement for each marcher to bring 10 friends next year, "Take Backthe Night" will become an increasinglyimportant and hard to ignore event in the K-W community.

illionsof vegetarianswill joyously gather to celebrate the numerousbenefits of adopting a vegetarian lifestyle on Oct. 1- World Vegetarian Day. Interestingly, the day prior to Ghandi's birthday was chosen decades ago to draw attention to, and provide information regarding, this positive choice that will create benefits for the entire world.

There are now three domesticated animals on the planet for every human. Asa result, 70 per cent of the world grain harvest is fed to these animalstosustain them,enoughgrain to feed every man, woman and child on the planet. Soberingthoughtslike

these induce thousands of Canadians to adopt a vegetarian diet annually. Among those, the fastestgrowing group is young people.

The University of Waterloo will play host to local celebrations on Monday, October, 2. The Student Life Centre Great Hall will be filled with variousvegetariandisplays, free homemadefood (justlike Momused to make!) and games, from 11:OO a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event is a project of VEAHL (Vegetariansfor the Environment, Animals and Healthy Living),a WPIRG(Water1oo Public Interest Research Group) actiongroup, and will also include Food Not Bombs resources.

The program of events will be highlighted by the official launch of the new, student-made cookbook,

TheLazy Vegetarian.Thisbook is not only a compilation of innovative, easy, quick, and economical recipes (idealfor students), but alsocontains extensive information on the specific benefits of vegetarianism along with basic food preparation tips.

The cookbook was a major project of VEAHL during the winter term and was contributed to exclusively by students. Copies will be available for $10 each, with proceedsgoing to fund the costs of production.

This event will provide a welcoming atmosphere, in which any questions and concerns will be answered and an excellent opportu.. nity to sample some food created by the imaginative and skilled amateur vegetarian cooks on campus.

KERRY O'BRIEN here are societies for just about every single program oncampus. Math, Engineering, Arts, Psychology, English, you name it. Curiously, the biggest and best known department, Co-op, has no society for students to meet and greet. That is, until now.

In a very brief e-mail sent to Imprintthisweek,Simon Woodside wrote that he and Ryan Stammers announced the formation of a Coop society at the Feds council meeting held September 24. No other details were provided except that the two students plan "to introduce a proposal to Council at the next October meeting that will detail the Society proposal and outline [the] plan for introducing the society."

Federation of Students president Chris Farley was cautiously optimistic about the proposal. "The Feds have no point-of-view on it until we get a proposal from them.

We're eagerly awaiting what they have to say, but we have to have something on paper before we can evaluate~ tsendit , to council, or take it to the administration."

Although no details were available as to the structure of the society, Farley speculates that it probably wouldn't bethat different from nor-

the "point person" on the Co-op bulldmgs.

Co-op students in Needles Hall were generally receptive to the idea of a Co-op society. "It wouldn't be a bad idea.. .a small fee would be OK. I'd go when possible," said Dave Gorman, a second year student in English Co-op. Khalid Mohammed, a first-year Electric Engineering Coop student concurred, sayingthat he would "probablyn go to meetings, and that a small fee would b fair.

Second-yearRecreationstudent Elizabeth Spadafora said that "it's important in a big school to have a peer network." When asked about the possibility of a Co-op fee, however, she dismissed the idea, saying "There's enough fees already." It seemed that the majority of students spoken to liked the idea.

If the proposal is ready as planned it will be brought to the next councilmeetinginOctober. Theexact date was unavailable on the Feds Web site. so keep your eyes and ears tuned fo; furth&'updatk IS

Not without some seriouskung fu, anyway.

Co-op Society, on the other hand, will have a $2 to $5 fee for all co-op students. It's not enough to shake a stick at individually, but when you add up 10,000 co-op students, that's some serious copper-top power.

Next, there's representation. Let's say Gracein firstyear has aproblemwithco-op.

Black contributions need recognition s nice to see someone aking an interest in Bla'ck history outside of February.

While Black History Month isimportant,itissometimes frustrating tosee thecontributions made by Blacks relegated to one month of the r. Although the exhibit in the Great Hall may be somewhat out of date (itwas put together sometime in late'80s but nothing has been done with the bios of contemporary African Canadians included in the display), it is nevertheless an important reminder of the history that tends to go untaught.

On top of all of this, it'salso Canadian Blackhistory,which-ifthisisat allpossible - is even less appreciated than AfricanAmerican or even African history. We in Canada tend to pride ourselves on being the saviours of American slaves, the gloriousendof theunderground railroad. How many of us knew that there wasalsoslavery in parts of Canada during the 19th century? Likely, not many.

Black history is not something that Canadian society deems important enough to teach people. In high school most of my knowledge of black culture waspredorninantly American and predominantly contemporary. Malcolm X, Martin Luther King and the films of Spike Lee, John Singleton and the Hughes brothers were about it (not that these references make forapoorintroduction-watchedDotheRight Thinglately?No betterway toget immersedin American racial politics). When kids at my school pushed for more African history in the classroom,itwas justthat-adesire to see more information regarding the African continent.

Although it's been almost 10 years since I graduated from high school, not much has changed. Like so much else in our culture, we tend to get caught up in what's going on south of the borderwhenitcomestoBlackculture. It's ashame because there's a whole lot that'sgone on (and continues to go on) in this country.

How great it would be if we learned about people like Portia White, an operasinger from NovaScotiawhosangprofessionally in the'40s and '50s or the whole Montreal scene in the '30s and '40s that saw Black Broadway performers come north in their summers off to playinFrenchnightcluhs.

Luckily, things are starting to change and

some people are beginning to be recognized for their work. With filmmakers like ClementVirgo (Rude)andplaywrightsl&eAndrew Moodie (Riot)is not impossible to go to the movies or the theatre and not see some reflection of the African Canadian experience.

Likewise, African Canadian writers are increasinglymaking their way to bookstore andlibrary shelves. Some of the most excitingwriting, especially poetry, going onin the country is coming out of the Black community. George Elliott Clarke, M. Nourbese Philip and Claire Harris continue to produce amazingwork. And Canadians seem to be takingnotice. Acoupleof yearsago Dionne Brandwasawardedthe Governor General's Award for poetry for A Land to Light On. And, of course,Austin Clarke, a pioneer of the African-Canadian writing scene continues to rack up awards for his work.

Black histov and contemporary Black culture are an important part of the Canadian mosaic. There are members of the African diaspora across and whether we want to accept it or not they're beginning to have a profound social and artistic influence.

However, as a member of the Waterlooregiontourist board, I felt there had to be another reason for such a big stadium. There is. It is called "promotion." Football fans and non-fans alike enjoy the event because it is a weekly "happening."

Thousands arrive a couple of hours before the game for station wagon tail-gate BBQ parties in the parking lot. Then at half time, it is "show business" with a marching band, flag carriers and baton wavers covering the whole field.

I suggest that if the touristboard, local hotels. restaurantsand the Universities get together for a similar promotion, one would attract at least 15,000locally, since there are no CFL teams within 100 miles of this area. A small investment in promotion should pay back all parties in aces. At only $10aticket, the University would gross $150,000 every Saturday.

Online lovin For years I have tried unsuccess-fully to explain my singledom: my faculty (engineering), the Co-op Program, the absence of washboard abs. The modern men's magazine, while surging in popularity, offers no help. In an attempt to capture the mass market, too many charming and illuminating articles of the "10 steps to secure your sexual satisfaction" ilk make publication.

My first online experiment occurred while I was on workterm at an Internet company. E-commercewas still cool, and E-Toys stock traded at a price 20 times higher then it does today. I envisaged an Amazon.com smorgasbord of individuals - click through personality type, hair color, size, and appearance. I admit it seemedunlikely that other 'customers' would have the opportunity to rate the product (or service)at hand, but the idea held promise.

I learned sometime way back that amarket isaplace where buyers and sellers meet to exchange goods.

Thisparticular "meetnmarketischaracterized by a dynamic similar to offline mating rituals: men display, and women choose. Supply and

demand held the answer here way more men than women use online personal services. On most, you can place ads for free, but you have to pay to respond to other ads.

I got a total of two responses one from an e-mail address that bounced, and another from someone who it quicklybecame apparent that itwasn't worthconversing with further. ~f I was trying to find Homewhere the numbers were in theguy's favour it certainly wasn't here.

I did, however, get chattingwith a few individuals as a result of my response to their ads. I even met a nice girl whom I dated for a few months. Iconsideredthis asuccessful endeavour, so recently I went back online, brimmingwith confidence.

Thistime, I wasn't so lucky. One girl sent me a picture. We met in person, and I guess I could see the resemblance between her and the picture, but it was a stretch. We didn't really clickeither. So Icontinued. I discovered, after exchanging several e-mails, a mind and waist expanding definition of an 'average' body type. Obviously measures of central tendency meant nothing to this individual. Pity there was no 'mathematical aptitude' field to sort on.

hat was so good about childw h o o d ?", I asked. N o responsiblities. Ignorance. Abundance of parental care for needs.

Good. All standard answers.But then Igot to thinking about it myself, and I came up with a new idea: Childhood was great because there was "no hurry". Sure, children are generally without responsibility, worry or unmet desire, but maybe what makes therealdifferenceis the hurrying.

As adults, we are always busy. Always scuttling around in our own precious little race, tryingdesperatelytomeetdeadlines, tomeetrequirements, fulfilldreams, follow hopes and spend time with friends and alone.

To spend time working out and to spend time relaxing. Whatever the activity is, itgetsassignedaslot to be executed in our daily schedule.

Even taking time for ourselves has a slot with a duration.

Batista, the President of Cuba before the revolution was not even allowed to go to the same country clubs as American businessmen because he hadtoomuchAfrican blood in his lineage. Many people tried to escapefromCuba to the U.S. illegally

dren. Every day was a blessing. A magical single inhalation and exhalation in time, during which we explored, and played, and laughed, and sure, we cried and got hurt and felt pain, but it was all done in our own time. Things weren't allocated time, they were just done. There were no goals. No planning for the future or rushing to finish one task and begin the next.

Every moment, or an entire afternoon, could be dedicated to any number of noble pursuits which we would now label fruitless. But back then, our hearts and souls would lend all of their strength to molding coloured dough or stacking plastic blocks.

Time was defined and limited only by the appearance and disappearance of the sun.

There was no reason to rush or hurry. So we didn't. We could enjoy everything for what it was at that moment. And we did.

We weren't busy getting to where we were going, and the result was that we were always there.

omeone once gave me a present: a beautifulwhite elephant. It was supposed to keep me company and make my life complete.

I took the white elephant home with me and kept it in the spare bedroom. For the first few days everything was great. I talked with the white elephant, rubbedits trunk and fed it peanuts.

But the elephant was a hassle to keep. It pooped all over the bedroom and even though I cleaned it up, the room still smelled terrible.

After a few days the white elephant got tired of living in the spare room and wanted out into the rest of the house.

It stomped around in that room making an awful lot of noise and breaking a few things in the process, including a priceless Ming vase. It started banging on the door and I was so afraid it would get out that I had a heavy-dutysteel door installed to keep the elephant in.

I thought maybe if I got the elephant drunkit would calm down. I

didn't realize how much vodka it takes to knockout awhiteelephant.

A drunk elephant turned out to be worse than a sober one.

I med having friends over to take my mindoff thewhiteelephant.That elephant got jealous andmade such aruckus that my friendsalwaysmade up excuses to go home. Eventually, I'd lost all my friends and the elephant wasn't very good company.

In addition, the stenchwas becoming unbearable.

One day there was a knock on my door. I didn'tanswerbecause the elephant was being particularly bad that day and I didn't want visitors.

Whoever it was just kept knockmg.

Finally, looking out the peephole I caught a glimpse of the dirty old cap the man was wearing. In fadedletters it said "Elephant Exterminator." I opened the door a crack.

"Heard you were having elephant problems," the man said.

"I think my elephant is too big and too bad for even you to handle," I said.

"Never met an elephant I couldn't exterminate," the man said.

"Why don't you let me have a crack

at yours?"

"Well," I pondered, "the elephant was agift and I don't know if I want to give it up. I wouldn't have anything left."

'Tell you what," the man said, "you let me takecareof the elephant and I'll be your friend. I'll even introduce you to some other people who will help you through the post-elephant stage." Ithoughtfor aminute or two.

"Alright," I saidhesitantly."Take it away."I led the exterminator up to the guest room and went downstairs so I wouldn't have towatch. In a few moments, the exterminator called from the top of the stairs. It was amazing. The white elephant was gone. The room was back in order.

The stench was completely gone.

Even the Ming vase was restored.

When Iturned to thank theexterminator, he held out his arms and I noticed that his handswere bleeding.

"Did my elephant do that to you?" I asked. He just smiled and embraced me.

So where does this leave us?

Canada'sonly form of legal tender is no longer valid at some of Canada's topinstitutions.

Now that the dollar is worthless, let's go back to the barter systemsince "without money, we would have to exchange goods and services directly". This should work well; each time Igoonco-op I will collect a few pieces of whatever the companyI am working for makes.

I will eventuallycollect enough of these pieces that I can exchange them for some paper and inkwhich I can then use to create a moneyorder. The University can then cash the money order in for the money which they helpedmake useless.

O h wait,. they've already . thought of this; they will accept the pieces I make on my work term di;ectly and use them in the labs to teach the new students.

Wouldn't it be easier if the we could still hold areasonable amount of value in our Canadian dollar?

Wouldn't it be easier if the University of Waterloo would accept cash as payment in the first place?

Canada's only form of legal - tender is no longer valid at some of Canada's top universities

in our curr n c y, therefore it has value.

But what happens whenthe confidence is gone? Is the value then gone too?

Well I believe we are about to find out. The University of Waterloo, apublicly fundedin&ution has deemed the Canadian dollar to have no value.

Money order or cheque, payable tothe "University of Waterloo", are acceptablemethods of payment.

No mention of cash here, but this could be an oversight on their part, right?

The first few weeks of the fall term have been tremendously busy in the office. Shannon, Desiree, Mark and myself spent the better part of a week giving out Handbooks to students. (If you have notreceived your handbook, please stop by and pick it up from us). This provided an excellent opportunity for us to interact withstudents.

I have been kept busy with housingissues. Currently, Isit on the four committees that relate to housing.

They include Town & Gown, the Student and Community Interaction Committee, the Working group on 105Universq Ave. and the Student Housing Taskforce.

The Student HousingTaskforce has developed its terms of reference and course of action.

Together with other members of the committee and awhole bunch of U W student volunteers, we are going to look for ways to increase and improve services related to student housing.

This includes transportation issues, planning issues, as well as the current level of service both on and

off campus. We are also organizing a housing forum for Wednesday October25,2000 in theStudentLife Centre.

This issue is extremely important for students, especiallysincithis is election year and in light of the imposing demographic changes.

I have also been busy working withKevinStewart,DirectorofSafety, on the safety audit. We have only fifteen volunteers so far that have committed to helpingwith the audit, occurring October 18,2000 in the evening.

Safety audits were conducted each year in the mid-1990s, however, there has not been one since 1998. I am thankfulto Kevin for his suggestion to hold an audit to determine what changes and improvements can be made.

WinstonChurchill remarkedin 1940, that "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

While I smoke less cigars than Winston Churchill, I know the Feds have blood, toil, tears, and sweat to offer, as well as landlord and tenant assistance, cheap lunch at Ground Zero, wicked concerts at Fed Hall, food (dyou run out from the Food Bank) and so much more.

Napster: empowering music consumers?

hat a great summer for Napster! The Internet company got enough publicity to set a division of marketing types panting inlust. Much of thispressfocusedon the Recording Industry Association of America vs. Napster case before the US federal court.

The RlAA'sattempttogetapretrial injunctionagainstNapster, forcing the company to stop operating the servers that allow thousands to share mp3 filesevery day, was stayed at the last minute. We can all continue happily swapping music until the as yet to bedetermined trial date.

Leadingthe charge for the RIAA are those hip, rebellious capitalists Metallica. Their argument is that artists lose control of their creations when they are distributed through a medium such asNapster. The RIAA, of course, representsthe U.S. recording industry, not the artists themselves. Their mission "is to foster a business and legal climate that supports and promotes [their] members' creative and financialvitality."

The RIAA'sreal problemis they lose money when fans swap digital copies of their music instead of buying CDs. Person-to-person file sharing empowersmusicconsumers.Wenow have the chance to listen to more than one or two songs on an album.

You wouldn't buy a painting after only seeing the top right handcorner of it. Why should you have to buy musicon thebasisof two tracksonthe album?Don't tell me those listening

stations at HMV allow you to preview the album either. 10seconds of each track does not an informed opinion make.

Online music itself isn't the RIAA's bone of contention. They'd love to sell music with a hugely reducedoverheadperunit. What scares the RIAAisno longer being in control of the distribution of music. This attitude is apparent in their proposed replacements for the mp3 format: various schemesto prevent the copyingor transmission of digital music or to match music files and players in some sort of encryption scheme.

They wish to replicate the current "record store" model of music distribution on the Internet.

Person-to-person file sharing dramaticallylowers the cost of entry into the music biz. It empowersmusic makers. A band may now create, market and distribute their music for far less than before. That sounds like more control, not less. The RIAA's Napster action is an attempt to keep hold of their golden egg.

It's ironic that Metallica is opposed to this technology. A tool like Napster would have helped them yearsago. Backthen, when they were never played on mainstream radio, their fan base grew by word of mouth and dubbed cassettestraded between friends. That's what Napster makes possible: good music through the Internet viaindependent musicsites and file-sharing utilities. When the distribution channels are no longer centrally controlled, quality gets rewarded. That's somethingthat scares the R I M to the core.

The forgotten ..I contribution

Ontario had historic role in abolishing slavery J O N WILLING Imprint staff

C

anada wasn't always the land of the free. We frequently dwellon the maladiesof the United States when we compare our national values, especially when we reflect on race relations. One of the largest misconceptionsisthat Canada hadno part in America's slavery problem of the 18th and 19th centuries.

In actuality, Canadian settlers exercised their powers granted by the British Loyalists to bring slaves to Canada to build the first homes for new settlements.

The beginning of slavery in Canada had begun, but not without opposition from many settlersin Upper Canada. Nevertheless, the end of the American Revolutionary War meant the fleeing of thousands of American colonists to Canada, seeking a new life in a more peaceful British civilization a civilization that allowed slaves.

Many people today don't realize that Canada once contributed to the rise of slavery in North America.

More regionally, Ontario settlersemployed slaves to help start some of the first colonies of whatwas known then as Upper and Lower Canada.

Black slaves weren't just the property of respected Europeans either. Native people also participated in slave trading, with some owningoneortwoslaves Commonly, Natives brought slaves from midwestern America to sell to settlers in the North, including those living in Ontario.

Slaveryin Ontario didn't prove to be long-lasting. With the rise of democraticand religiousvalues came the notions of equality and respect

-

for allcitizens. Colony leaders, such as Lieutenant-Colonel John Graves Simcoe, aggressively opposed slave trades in Upper Canada. Juxtaposingthe slave trade with strong Christian values, Simcoespoke out against slavery in the British Commons.

With the help of Britishleaders in Canadaand the motherland, slavery in Canada soon died and the possibilitiesof racial harmony ceased to become a dream - it became a goal.

In fact, Upper Canada became the first British colony to legislate against slavery, which made Canada the life preserver in the enslavedseas of troubled North America. As news spread southward of Canada's antislave movement, slave owners worried about their assets fleeingnorth.

Slowly, Canada was becoming the Valhalla for blackslavesin America.

Shortly after the War of 1812, John Beverley Robinson, Upper Canada's Attorney General, declared that Upper Canada's courts will uphold the freedom of Blacks. For the first time in North America, blacks were free, and the Underground Railroadof the South began its "construction."

The Underground Railroad wasn't literally a train track. It was a pseudonym for the system that the southern settlers used to transport the black slaves to freedom in the North. Settlers who were sympathetic of blacks h d hated slavery assisted refugees in moving to freedom in Upper Canada. They temporarily housed, fed and hid slavesin an effort toseeblackssafelytonorthern colonies. By the early 19th century, the UndergroundRailroad instituted routesflowing from western regions of America into Canada.

"FugitiveSlavesArrival in Canada," asdepictedby ReverendJosiahHenson.

Locally, the land stretching between Waterloo Region and Lake Huron (then known2 the Queen's Bush Settlement) became the foundation of black civilization in Ontario, and the last station on the Underground Railroad. Southern Ontario provided a refuge for fugitive slaves who successhlly. escaped thepenurioussocietiesof the South, and Waterloo Countv. began - to kindle stronger racial relationships.

Black communities slowly began to take shape as more refugees fled to Queen's Bush. New settlers cleared land, built churches,planted cropsanderected new cabins. By the mid 19th century, businesses occupied many communities, and as the villages grew, the name "Queen's Bush" was replaced by village names reflective of the new communities.

Since the time of Queen'sBush, some social constructshave changed, and not all for the better. The inception of the Dominion of Canada in

1867 meant that open immigration for Blacks would end to promote European immigration. Although discilminationagainstblacksstilloccurred, there were more protests for equality and acceptance from the black community and many European settlers.

In 1960,. -lohn Diefenbaket's government signed a Bill of Rights, which banned discrimination based on race, colour, religion, sex and national origin. Canada, once again, became an opportunity to start new lives forblack families.

Canada's contribution to the abolishmentof slaveryisn'twell documented, but let there be no mistake: this nation was the leader of race relations at the turn of the 19th century. The acceptance of Blacks over 200 years ago into a community that acknowledged social equality deserves the accolades given to Canada for being one of the most respected nations in the world.

WPIRG recognizes Ontario black -history JON WILLING Imprint staff

T

josiah Henson(right), the inspiration behindHarriet BeecherStowe's UncleTorn'sCabin, fled Marylandtocanada.

his week, WPIRG sponsored a display on black history in Ontario, which highlighted the importance Ontario played in the abolishment of slavery in North America.

The display, which was compiled by the Ontario Black History Society and setup in the SLC, makes people more awareof Ontario's contributions, saidWPIRGco-ordinator Daryl Novak.

"Vhe display] gives students a chance to reflect on how much has changed," said Novak. "People don'tthink [blackhistory] has much to do withsettling in Ontario and are not aware how the history goes."

One reason why people are uneducated about Ontario's involvement in black history is the media attention Canadians receive from the US regarding slavery. In most regards, Canadians attribute slavery problems to the US and aren't aware of Canada's historic slavery opposition movement.

"It's something that maybe they've heard about, but is vague," said Novak. He also noted that February's Black History Month doesn't alwaysrecognize Ontario'sachievements in race relations in the 19th century.

WPIRG will also be sponsoring an exhibit from the Ontario Black History Society in January and is beginningto plan activitiesfor Black History Month.

inding love and romance can be difficult for gay people, but not impossible. Due to population size and coming-out issues, gays and lesbians may have to work harder to meet other people like themselves.

Having said that, there are many ways to date and find asignificant other in the Waterloo area.

An obvious place to meet gay people is at gay bars. There are two bars in the area. Club Renaissance is in btchener, across from the bus terminal. "Ren" typically has more men than women, and more youth than older people. . . I find the music to be rather uninteresting and way too loud, but if you'redrunk, you may not notice.

The Robin's Nest is in Cambridge. Of course, you'll never be allowed in "the Nest" because you need to be a member and the membership is closed (read: They're working around the no-smoking by-law in order to appease their smokingclientele. Shame).Other than two bars you pretty much have to go to Toronto.

In general, meeting people at bars has the severe disadvantagethat you can't really see or speak with other people effectively. 1 t also tends to be a place where people go to pickup rather than to start a serious relationship.

Computers have changed the way that people deal with their sexuality because it is mucheasierto first come out of thecyberspace closet before coming out of the real-world closet. There are local chat rooms on IRC and

Web-based chat rooms, like the ones on http:/ /www.gay.com.

On a similar note,there is a new online dating service started by several University of Waterloo students. The site, http:// www.singleantidote.com, is specifically designedfor UW, WLU,andUniversityofGuelph students, but has recently been expanded to include professionals from the Tri-City area.

The site makes a reasonable effort to protect the privacy of gay men and lesbians, given that the site isopen to people of allsexualities. At the time I wrote this. there were about 400 people in the registry and "more than 10 percentn of them are gay. Clearly there are a lot of gay people out there who feel more comfortable coming out online.

Call me biased, but Istill thinkthatthe most successful way to meet othersis to attend meetings of GLOW or GLOBAL. These groups provide a more natural and social atmosphere than the others I've mentioned. I have been attending GLOW meetingsalmost every week since my first year at university. Over this period of time I have seen a number of very successful relationships grow (including my relationship with my boyfriend).

Having said that, the people who have the most success are the ones who attend regularly.

It isvery difficult to meet anyone by going just once.

So for thegay individual, take heart. There are numerous ways to find people like yourself in K-W if you look in the right places. &

igh school students in 45 countries around the world have been reaping the benefits of a bright idea by a professor in the Chemistry Department at UW for over 30 years.

Cbem13 News magazine has been in print since 1968,and it'snot showing signsof slowingdown anytimesoon.

It is the brainchild of Reg Friesen, aprofessor at UW who started teaching herein 1959 and stayed until his retirement in 1996. He served as editor from 1968 to 1986, when ProfessorLewis Brubacher took over the reins. Cbem 13 News is published monthly fromseptember until May. The articles in Cbem 13 News are written largely by high school andcollege teachers.Thisis key, since they are the people at the front lines of teaching, who know what inter-

ests their students. They know the limitations that exist in high school labs due to a lack of funding, and the capabilitiesof their students.

He teaches at Bluevale Collegiate Institute in Waterloo as the head of science, and writes a monthly column about chemistry and the Internet. He is also on the editorial boardof Cbem 13 News.

A recent column features the Web site 'Yogi's Behemoth (http:I/ klbproductions.com/yogil index.htm1). There are three differ-

ent sections to the Web site: achemistry section, an environmentalissues section, and a section on hazardous materials transportation. The chemistry section features a workingperiodic table, which can be quite useful for high school students looking for information on aparticular element.

The Web site is informative, up-todate and worth taking a look at.

Other articles in Cbem 13 News include a crossword, experiments and demonstrations that can be performed in a high school laboratory, information on upcoming events (such as Mole Day), a Molecule of the Month feature, and recent developments in chemistry.

Imprint staff

ith half of the season over, it is apparent that the Waterloo men's soccer club isa force to be reckoned with. After a stirring two-goal victory against the University of Windsor Lancers last Sunday, Eddie Edgar's crew stands a good chance to earn one of two divisional play-off spots.

OnSeptember 24, the Warriorsmade the trip to Windsor to take on the 10th-ranked team. Strugglingwith an injury to star player Andrew Baumann, the Lancersknew they were going to have a formidable task outwitting the Warriors. Fabio Marras, head coach of the Lancers, started Anthony Jankowski in net, while Bill Smith, assistant coach to Edgar, decided that Kyle Owens would protect the net for the Warriors.

It appeared that Windsor may have been a bit disheartened aftertheir 3-Olossto Wilfrid Laurier aday earlier, and the play on the field demonstrated that.

From the first whistle, Waterloo overpowered the Lancers. The first shot of the game, made by Oliver Moh, was an easy one that Jankowskisavedwithout aproblem. But it would get worse for Jankowski. Far worse.

In the 15th minute of the first half, the Windsor goaltender'sluck changed. After Nick Knez'sshot wassaved by Jankowski's best friend (the goalpost), Carlos Alegre grabbed the reboundand stuffed the ballinto thenet. Hungry for more, Mohandcaptain Dave Mills hounded Jankowski tonoend. Unfortunately,they were not able to score.

As for Owens, he wasn't too busy, at least not until the last ten minutesof the half. When

As for Smith, he wasimpressed."For once, we were not fatigued. We played strong today," Smith stated. He was also happy about the way the game went. "The players ran the game and from the start, they looked like they were always going to win," claimed Smith.

Waterloo's next match will be on September 30, when the Warriors pay a visit to St. Catharines to play Brock University (we need s .

Waterloo started to waver, however, Matt Telford and JJ Dowhan mounted an offence that at times troubled Owens . Nevertheless, Owens would not yield to these rapscallions and Waterloo escaped with a one-goal lead at halftime.

Two minutes into the second half, Waterloo demoralized the Lancerswithan absolutely perfect play. From acorner kick made by Knez, Steven Flattwas there in the box to kickan easy goal. With that goal, the Lancers no longer had heart and tried to limit the lead to two. Despite the best efforts of Mills,Jeff Fiorino and Roger Badley, the Lancers managed to keep the Warriors at bay.

As for the Lancer offence, they could only manage three shots: two from Marten Otterstram and one from Anthony Imola.

ruce Rodriquesand the women's soccer teammight have hadthe feelingthat last Sunday was going to be one of those days. After losingby one goal against a Windsor team that did not deserve to win. more bad news came when the bus broke down outside Kitchener. For the hard-luck Warriors, September 24,2000 was one of those days when getting out of bed didn't pay.

On September 24, the Warriors headed south to take on the University of Windsor Lancers. Having played to a stalemate a day earlier against the Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks, theLancerwomen were ready to take their frustrations out on the division leading Warriors. Sarah Havard got the start for the Warriors, while Lancer assistantcoach Steve Hart opted for Heather MacKay, who was the main star for Windsor.

The first half started slowly for the Lancers. Beginning with a shot by Ange Farace that just sailed over the crossbar, Waterloo had Windsor on the defensive. But as time went on during the first half, onegot the feeling that the

Lancerswere buildingup an offence. Marilena Busico, arookie on the Windsor side, began to take charge for the Lancers. Still, Waterloo limited the Lancersin the first half to six shots, while vexing MacKay to no end. But in spite of the best efforts of SarahTowns, Erin Walkom, Laura Munro and Jill Johnson, neither Windsor nor Waterloo could place the ball in the back of the net.

Sherri Maguire showed the Warriors the money shot.

As for the second half, Waterloo was held to their end of the field early. Having been sparked by Hart's speech, the merry women of Windsor charged forwardand shelled Havard with many difficult shots. In the 19th minute, Sherri Maguire showed Waterloo the money shot by eluding several Warriors and blasting the ball past Havard.

After Maguire'sgoal, the Warriors began toplay with adegree of urgency. Thegame also became rougher as Waterloo pushed their weight in their attempt to tie the game. The

casualty for Windsor was MacKay, who collidedwith JillKwokforthe ball. Carriedoff the pitch in acart, MacKay was replaced by Tanya Tomlinson, who playedalmost flawlessly.Her only mistake was when Johnson caught Tomlinson out of position, only to be deniedby the post. Amy Bender was another Windsor player who was downed when Me1 Denheyer fellon her.Asforthe Warriors, the only loss for them was Alisha Girodat, who was tackledand sent away in pain. Although Waterloo won the battle of attrition, it could not win the very importantwar on the scoreboard, as Windsor won the match 1-0.

After thegame, Hart praised the ladies for their hard work. "We've worked really hard for thewin. We weresolidin defense," quipped Hart when asked about his impression of the game. Hart also lauded MacKay, calling her one of the best goalies in the league.

As for Rodriques, he was rather disappointed with the game. "I thought we outplayed them the entire game. Windsor stole one, for sure," was all Rodriques would say.

With threewinsandtwolosses, the Waterloo Warriors have an important task ahead of them. On September30, the Warriorswill face the BrockUniversity Badgersinst. Catharines.

The next day, it is on to Hamilton to play against the McMaster University Marauders.

Both games start at 3 p.m.

Yes, he was later stripped of the medal, but he was the fastest guy at the Olympics and in the world (and I've heardsomestuff about Carl and human growth hormone).

Two other Canadian sprinters from those Olympicstook over in the aftermath of ~ohnson's~ositive test, and have carried the sport in Canada to where it is today. Bruny Surin was one of the two. The next Olympicsin 1992 found Bruny leading the race at its halfway point. Prettyunbelievable-especially to Surin,who wasn't mentally ready to win and froze up,

finishing fourth. In 1993, Bruny had Glenroy Gilbert, who had also been there in Seoul, with him to make up half of the bronze-medal winning CanadIan relay team at the World Championships. In 1994, Bailey joined them at the Commonwealth Games in Victoria and they tasted gold for the firsttime. But not the last.

For the next three years, the Canadian 4xl00m squad was the best in the world at the IAAF World Championships in 1995, the nexi year in Atlanta, and in 1997 again at the Worlds. Gilbert, Bailey and Surin were the perfect twoqhree-four combination. Last year, the order wasn't the same and neither was the result -a bad exchange kept the Canadians out of the finals at the

The Warriorsaresetforthe kill..

1999 World Championships.

While Gilbert was perhaps the strongest relay runner on the team, his individual success would never meet that of either Bailey or Surin.

Surin was a two-time world champion at the indoor 60m event, in 1993 and again in 1995. Outdoors in 1995, Bailey and Surin clocked 9.91s and 9.97s respectively at the Canadian championships, the one and two-ranked times in the world at thatpoint.They went on to replicate their one-two performance at the ~s, World ~ h a m ~ i o a s h i providing delicious foreshadowing of Bailey's victory the next year in the Olympics in Atlanta.

And just this past year, it was Surin claiminghissecondworld lOOm silver medal as he finished behind world-record holder Maurice Greene. Surin'stimeof 9.84s tieshim

with Bailey as the second-fastest man ever, behind only Greene who has twice ran below that.

So it is a tragedy when "It was not meant to be," as Bailey put it in his post-race interview. For two of the best in the world, at the most important time in four years, they didn't have what was most important for them -their health.

What would make the tragedy even worse would be if the relay team was to suffer similarly at these Olympics. The three veterans of the sprint and relay programare all about ready to hang up their spikes-if not after these Games, then after next year's track World Championships in Edmonton.

Either way, it would be nice to see themgoout in the same light that they brought to the rest of their careers. '

n what may prove to be one of the most challenging courses the Warriors will face this year, both the men's and women's cross-country teams showed that they are a force to be reckonedwiththisseason. Inahighly competitive field, which included National Collegiate Athletic Association teams from Buffalo and West V~rginia,the Warrior women turned in ;strong eighth-place finish (fifth amongst OUAteams).Veteran Kristie Henry led the women, in an impressive time of 19:08 overthe hilly five kilometre course. Jill Patterson and Kim Neumayer followed closely behind both running lifetime personal bests of 19:44 and 19:47 respectively. The scoring teamwas rounded out by Christina Atance and rookie GloriaIchii. Nicola White, Michelle Bester and JasmineJagpal also turned in strong performances.

The men were not to be outdone. The Warriors were led throughout the 10kilometer course

by veteran and co-captain Steven Drew. Drew ran with the front pack throughout the race , pushing the pace on the second five lalometre lap. His perseverance p a ~ doff as he crossed the finish line in seventhplace, giving him a highly coveted top 10 finish. Co-captamAlastar Lawrence followedclosely on Drew's heelsand just mtssed a top 10 finish, placing 1lth.

S

ometimes the heavens open up and it pours and pours and you find yourself praying that it stops. That's the feelingthe Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks had last Wednesday as they were trounced 10-0 by the University of Waterloo Warriors.

Waterloo's offensive onslaught started in the second inning. The Warriors made 10 trips to the plate, stole fourbases,gothitby twopitches and scored six runs. Designated hitter KeithSt. Jeancolleaed the first of his two hits of the game and scored when Laurier catcher Ryan Davison threw the ball away.

First baseman Tyler Wilson was perfect at the plate, going three-forthree andscoringtwice. He doubled to centre in the second and pickedup his third RBI of the year when he scored St. Jean with a single to right in the bottom of the fourth, pushing Waterloo's lead to 9-0.

Also flawless at bat was right fielderMark Johnston. He collected his second triple of the year in the first and scored in the second and

fourth Innings. Centre fielder Mike Robertson addedtwo h~tsofhis own, as Waterloo beat up three Laurier pitchers for 12 hits in four innings.

Ryan F~nsontook the loss for the Golden Hawks.

Pat Hill pitched five innings of shutout ball for Waterloo, allow~ng only three hits and two walks In his second victory of the year.

Johnston felt that the win "was a momentum change" for the Warriors. After having dropped six straight, the two victories over Laurier "willset the pace for the rest of the season." Describing the Waterloo squad as "the most energetic I've ever played on" and being "pumped before every game," he believes that Waterloo is set to succeed in the second half of the season.

Waterloo started off strong in the nightcap, jumping out to a 2-0 lead after two innings on runs from Robertson and veteran third baseman Luke Potwarka.

Laurier inched closer, scoring one in the third and tying it up in the fourth after John Bell knocked in second baseman Nate Rokosh.

As Warriorsstarter Ryan Hollett struggled to find the plate, walking two and beaning one, coach Bill Martin sent in a call to the bullpen. Out came righthander Jeff Snoddy. The rookie pitched two and one-third innings and allowed just two earned runs in his first win as a Warrior.

Pleasedo not let this ball bean mein the head!

After Snoddy got Tim Henderson to ground out to short to finish off the top of the fourth, Waterloo's bats remained silent in the bottom of theinning. Johnston then grounded out to first to end the fourth and the skies opened up. Both teamsscampered to the~rdugouts to avoid being soaked by the second downpour of the evenlng.

The 15 minute break may have dampened the field, but ~tignited the Warriors' offense. Waterloo picked up SIX runs on three h~ts,includ~nga bases-clearingtnple by right fielder Murray Lovett.

W~lsonhad another sohd game at the plate, increasing his battmg average to .353 with a palr of singles and a run batted In. Infielder Greg Stefan, who was two-for-four in the game, scored and knocked in Lovett in the fifth w ~ t ha single to centre.

Following another ram delay, Johnston pitched the top of the seventh for Waterloo and closed the door on the Laur~er,collect~nghis second save of the year as the Warnors beat the Golden Hawks by an 87 score. In relatingthe save, the hurler toldhprintthat he "hkes the feeling ofhavingguysrely onyou."The role of the closer 1s an Important one, he added. "You know [the starter] has put In a helluvaeffort"; it'sup to the closer to shut the other team down.

Which is a task Johnston performs superbly.

Leaders of the week

S

igns are in the air that autumn has descendedon our little corner of the world. The leaves are turning colour and ready to fall off the trees (creating a blue tinge to the air thanks to all men with rakes and front yards), the weather has turned a bit nippy and the nuts with Oktoberfest hats and unwashed lederhosen from Miinchen are running about for a 10 day festival of sauerkraut,bier, wiener schnitzel and fat, ugly Germans named Oskar who play god-awful polka music on the accordion. And those are just the women.

As well, the baseball season in Canada and the United States of America is coming to an end. Major League Baseball has survived their sixth season since the big strike, and attendance is picking up. Unfortunately,&~baseballseasonhasn'tbeen kind to Canada. The Toronto Blue Jays certainly gave it agood run, but could not catch Chiefyahoo's Cleveland Indians or the Oakland Athletics. Still, the Jaysdidalot better than the MontrCal Expos, who are now mathematically eliminqted until the

year 2005.

But now, the fall classic awaits.

Yes, the Worldseries (limitedto the 48 continental states) will be commencing next month. This means that the best team of the American League will do battle with the best team of the National League. So who will reign supreme in the battle of Iron Baseball Teams?

In the American League, the NewYorkYankeesand the Chicago White Sox seem to be the class of the league, with the Seattle Mariners and ClevelandIndiandOaklandAthletics seeming to be also rans. Although the Bronx Bombers have dedinedover the past coupleofyears, theYankeesstil1have Andrew Pettitte and Roger Clemensto shut down the batsof either Clevelandor Oakland.

And with Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams to belt out hits, it will be another fine postseason for theyankees. However, do not count out the SouthSidersfrom Chicago, who have Mike Sirotka and Jim Parque heading a fairly decent pitching rotation and Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordonez hitting the ball out of the

park. The AL final willbe agood one, but expect theYankeesto easily handle the White Sox. As for the National league, it getsalittle tougher. St. Louismaybe at the biggest disadvantage, but if MarkMcGuire canquickly recover, the Cards may actually go far. San Francisco may have Barry Bonds, Jeff Kent, Ellis Burks, Livan Hernandez and Shawn Estes, but their road record is a bit worrisome and they are not in the strongest division in MLB. Thisleavesthe New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves, two teams that have provided some excellentgamesbetweeneach other.

TedTurner, our favourite Southern megalomaniac, has Greg Maddux indTom Glavineas keys to pitching.

As for the bat, ChipperJones,Andmw Jones and Andres Galarraga are the men Turner will depend on to return to the World Series. Bobby Valentine, much maligned coach of the Mets, will depend on Mike Piazza, Edgardo Alfonzo, Todd Zeile, Al Leiter and Hampton to lift the Shea faithfultovictory. Itwillbeclose, but expect the Mets to beat the Braves.

A landscape of fine art on campus L A U R E N 8. B R ~ L I N special to Imprint

I

n the spirit of art and education, the newly renovated East Campus Hall (ECH) Art Gallery has become the platform for two new and intriguing exhibitions.

Post-renovations, the gallery enjoys spaces of 3,000 and 1,000 square feet, with 20-foot ceilings, dry-walled surfaces, and new paint.

Running until October 21, both exhibits lend themselves to degrees of fascinating distinctiveness, thus promising to attract both students and art lovers alike.

Gallery 1presents "(An) Other Canada," a touring exhibition curated by UW's directodcurator Carol Podedworny, and featuring installations by Laura Millard, Rebecca Belmore, Sylvie Readman, and Janet Anderson.

Their installations are "based on landscape traditions as a nationalist agenda in Canada," Podedworny explains. In other words, the exhibittakes athoughtful look at the Canadian landscape and challenges standard conceptions of old and new.

I The works confront these Canadian ideals and explore them in a variety of interesting directions.

The arrangement in Gallery 1 offers a scope of media ranging from photography to painting, and succeeds in capturing the viewer while staying true to the aims of the director. Each artist claimsa highly individualistic tone in their respective approaches. Tossing dollies full of

paint atblankpanels, Millardcreates images that suggestthesnowflakesor colourful leavesof the Canadian seasons.

Belmore, using photos of her ownfamilyandfriends,poma);ssimple representations of people in

seem to question the reliability of an individual'sperception.

Mostnotably, Anderson creates a unique irony in her photographs, which reflect both a llkeness of nature, along with fences and police barricades that give it a decidedly

relative closeness, as opposed to showcasingthe wide expansesof land that is most common in the conventional Canadian landscape.

Almost all of the pieces maintain the goal of the exhibit by displaying

Prince'sinstallationattempts toconvert the light show of the aurora borealis into sound, and that's exactly what it does.

It's an audio installation, enabling the viewer (or listener) to hear

how the Northern Lights might sound.

The exhibit consists of an electricalgenerator with three lightbulbs andapair of earphones on the opposite side of the room. As the light bulbs flicker on and off in a random sequence, thelistener is treated to high pitch sound waves that are in synch with the lights.

The aurora borealis, often seen in the far north, areshimmeringwaves of pale yellow, green, and pinklights streamingacrosssections of the sky at night. prince's obvious love affair with the Northern Lightshas, in this exhibit, prompted him "to employ them as an allegory for the wonder we find in all phenomena," explains Prince.

He goes on further to explain that "'The Auroraon AllThreeChannels' engages in a skeptical reconstruction of theconsciousnessof experience."

But just how did they manage to capture the sound of the lights?Well, Ed Casas, one of the main contributors to the installationisnot anart~st at all, but an electrical engineer. With his sound generator, he recorded the frequencies of the lights using a technological apparatus, processing the lights through different optical and electronic devices.

Indeed, the themes for both exhibits are well delivered and well received, and their explanations are particularized in ample detail. The ECH Gallery, now hosting a wealth of impressiveworks, is sure to appeal to anyone, from act connoisseurs to engineering majors.

For fun, there are little tidbitsof information and photos, both m colour and in black and white. The second section is the actual food, broken down into chaptersby course

(main, dessert, etcetera). The recipes are the basics (macaroni andcheese, shepherd's pie, etcetera).

There are no great surprises here, no new crazy recipes that no one has ever come up with before.

Rather, Pete focuses ongood, warm, home-style food.

The recipes are simple, easy to follow,andusebasicvocabulary(not like in fancycookbooks).Plus, they're short. At the end. Pete also includes a menu sectlon where he gives a menu for different settings (romantic dinner, your parentscoming over, etcetera) using his recipes.

The book 1s rather thln, but it doescontain a lot of useful information forthecookwho isstartingout, whichmakesthe task seem less dauntmg and impossible (somethmg that probably turns many people off cooking for themselves).

Not only are the recipes simple and easy to f&low, but th; front has adictionaryforwhen you'rein doubt.

All throughout are fun pictures and little stories along with the recipes.

This is a good find for parents sendlng their kids out into the world and for those learning to cook.

Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) is perhaps the worst offender of my sensibilities. I'll admit, he's got an interesting style, and his beats are great. But man -listen to the lyrics!

How about this selection from "Criminal": "My words are like a daggerwith a jaggededge that'll stab you in the head whether you're a fag or lez or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest pants or dress. Hate fags?The answer's yes."

Wow. Such a stunning dissertation on the state of gay rightsversus the moral majority. Even Hendrlck van der Breggen would have trouble agreeing with this guy.

Eminem has been quoted assaying that his audience "gets the joke."

Well, Marshall, I must be stupider than that kid wearing your T-shirt who called me a fag when I refused to buy him beer. Care to fill me in?

There is agreat quantity of antiEminem Web sites out there. Perhaps the best and most articulate one isthe Gay andLesbianAlliance&amst

Defamation (GLADD),where there are about fivedifferent postingsconcerning Eminem's frequently homophobic and misogynist lyrics.

Remember, these are the same people who unsuccessfully lobbied to have Em~nemremoved from the MTV Musicvideo Awards.

Also, check out the "Will The Real Slim Shady Please Shut Up" Web site at http://please-shutup.tripod.com/main.html.It features a hilarioussend-upof "The Real Slim Shadyn by a female rapper named EmilyEllis.

Not that it's just Eminem. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, et cetera, etcetera, et cetera. Does anyone else remember the days of the SugarhillGang or the Fresh Prince? Days when it wasn't about how big your glock is or how many _has you've slapped, but about how hard you could hit the mic and rock the party?

Maybe I'm wrong. But maybe I'm right. Well, it's your responsibility to tell me so. Send your submissions to arts@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

Dwelling on jazz fusion DARREN ALTMAYER special to Imprint

H

ow could one describe the band that isindescribable?

The Pocket Dwellerscombine elements of hip-hop, funk and jazz in a fireball of excitement that hits the stage with turntables, keyboards, guitars, horns and M.C.s pounding drums.

The Toronto-based band's live show needs to be experienced first hand.

The Pocket Dwellers played a two-night set at the Bombshelterlast Monday andTuesday, to asmallbut enthusiastic audience that seemed to grow by wordof mouth over the two nights.

Imprint caught up with M.C. Nigel Williams and drummer Red for an interview.

Imprint: Oneofthe things that really impress& me about the band is that therearesomany instrumentson the stage, yet you areable to avoidsoundingtoo cloudy orboggeddown.

Nigel: We've been playing long enough toknowwhere we fitin.You knowwhat you dowhen you're writingtunes.

When I hear something else going on, I'll pull back a lot if I hear something else going on, and1know the guitar and keyboard players try and keep things a little tasty.

Red: It depends on the tune, too, because some tunes soundmore like hip-hop tunes, sowe gottaleavemore space for the M.C. Whereas some tunes have more instrumental-type vibes, soyou can elaboratea bit more, play a little bit busier, 'cause there's times when there's no vocals.

added, "I don't h o w how to write plot."The question was not resolved, but Schoemperlen remarked, "I'll think a bit more on [the idea of valence]. I haven't got it all worked out yet."

The jury is still out on whether the short story is in crisis. Glover proposed that the short story is only in crisis within a verv narrow time period and is simply following the historical rise and fall of literature.

Eventually, Russell Smith suggested that while the short story isin a period of acute experimentation, publishers still prefer novels. The discussion then focused on the impactsof publishingpressureand tech-

nology advances on short fiction.

Wild Writers We Have Known probably raised more questionsthan it answered. Itwas, however, ahugely successful celebration of Canadian writing in general and of the short story form in particular. , The event was designed to bring writers, who oftenwork in isolation, together to discusstheir art with each other, educators, and readers. The eventwas successful, and this reader was impressed. Canadian short fiction writers are great, and so are the stories they are writing.

N: More mature. I think we have a better understandmg of how to write tunes.

Whatwe didwith the first album was we just went into the studio and recorded our songs that we would normallyplay in shows. But this time we kind of made more of a separation between our live show and our recording.

Real live music M l K P YUNKSR special to lmprint

W

hile on a Friday night walking tour of Toronto, my compatriot observed that none of the many bars we passed were playing live music. It seems that the booming era of live bar music is declining in favour of DJs. What about people like myself, who yearn to hear some live tunes?

These daysa "liven show involves shelling out $40 andgetting into aline of thousands to -get into some enormousvenue where I'm miles from thestage. For those of us who either can't afford the big ticket stuff or are fed up with big venues, read on!

I stumbled into not one, but three great shows that met all my criteria: small venues, cheap prices, and most important-Canadian talent.

A couple of weeks ago I went to Guelph's Trasheteria to see Danko Jones. If you enjoy live music, Isuggestyou see Danko in action. He lives to play -you can see it in his face as he bares his teeth and shakes his head so hard I worry he's going to get whiplash.

Despite the low turnout of maybe 50 people, the band ripped through their entire discography and did three encores. Danko then sat on the stage and sold CDs in person. I love humility.

As if that wasn't enough, I checked out Scratching Post last weekend at Toronto's El Mocambo. The band was on tour for their latestrelease, ThisTimeit'sPnso~l.I've always saidscratchingPostsoundslikeJuliannaHatfield singingfor Helmet.

Thick, heavy riffs coupled with Nicole Hughes' candy-pop voice singing not-so-innocent lyrics make for a great live act. My eyes were on the beautiful Nicole, hoping she'd make eye contact and give me her trademark point and wink. she did! Woo-hoo!

The real kicker was the Big Sugar show at our very own Lyric in Kitchener. I've seen this band more times than I can count and they alwaysdeliver.

Pulling together elements of blues, rock, and reggae, Big Sugar knows how to put on a show: blistering solos, stage theatrics (witness the behind-the-headguitar solo) and this weekend, evenaguest appearance from Big Wreck's Ian Thornley.

Big Sugar definitely earns credit as the only band1know that can turn our national anthem into a great tune, ending the show with a distorted rendition of "0Canada." ' If you like it loud, this is your band-my ears are still ringing.

The best part of all was checkingmy wallet at the end of the week. The three shows combined cost me only $33, still cheaper than my ticket to Korn.

YOU can still hit a bar and see a g e a t shbw, but you have to look a little harder these days.

Keep your eyes onthe local rags for listings (Imprint, Echo, andeyeare my favourites),and keep your radio tuned to CKMS for local concert listings throughout the day.

Perhaps if she had been given a character that wasn't a card.board stereotype, she might have been more successful.

Another good actor strugghng under a poorly drawn character is Perrineau Jr. as Monica. Perrineau, who played the role of Mercutio in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, is likable and sassy, but ultimately thecharacteris just acomposite of every other transgendered character in film.

Woman on Top's greatest prob. lem is its lack of originality. Besides rippingoffLikeWaterForChocolate, Woman on Top rips off every other romanticmovie including,bizarrely, There's Something About Mary as Toninho is constantly followed around by the Brazilian equivalent of a Mariachi band.

Yes, this is as stupid as it sounds.

There isn't anything in Woman on Top that hasn't beendone previously -and better in another movie.

It would take a keen eye, a good memory, or an Exorcist connoisseur to spot all the new scenes.

Backstreet Bovs meets ~ a n c i d

Eve 6 Horrorscope RWBMG KERRY

O'BRIIZN

special to Imprint Like Sugar Ray and blink 182, Eve 6 isone of those bands bridging the gap between the Backstreet Boys and Rancid: guitar-playing, tattooed punk-typeswho write radio-friendly riffs and share some of their wildest and sweetest stories.

They have appeared in magazineslikeTeenPeopleandcOsm0 Girl, whichwouldnormally dismiss them as serious musicians. But Eve 6 surprisingly still has something to say.

Anybody who's been listening to Edge 102.1 o r watching Muchh4usiclately has heard the super-catchy single "Promise," with front man Max Collins' signature

stream-of-consciousnesslyrical style.

Throughout the album, Collins cleverly interposes rhyme and alliteration, although the melding of the two often leaves the listener wondering what he's talking about.

At their best, the lyrics recall a Black Flag-era Henry Rollins ("Sunset Strip Bitch"); at their worst, Hanson ("Here's To The Night").

Musically, the album is solid.

While Eve 6 can be severely reminiscent of other current chart bands (blink 182 hasprobably called to get "Nocturnal" back), Collins,guitarist Jon Siebels and drummer Tony Fagenson stamp their signature on a number of original songs including "Enemy" and the sympathetic "Jet Pack," about a friendwho isafraid to come out of the closet.

However, Eve 6 allowedagood amount of songs to be tarnished by unnecessary overproduction. Samples, backbeats and drum loops are often utilized when the music itself could have stood on its own. These added effects are analogous to hobbling somebody who can walk by making them use a cane.

Horrorscope is an extremely eqjoyable album stocked with lots of promise for Eve 6.

Hopefully, we'll hear more of them and less of their studio technicians in the future.

In your face with a new album Face to Face Reactionary

LadyLuckRemds CnRlsroPnEa GIESLER special to Imprint

Christmas has come early for many, as 1990s mainstay punk group Face to Face have releasedtheir seventh full-lengthdisc. Taking on a typical 12-track structure of pure fist, fury and thought, this album marks a particular uniqueness in its manner of construction. In March, Face to Face made 16 tracks available via the Internet for fans to vote on. An over-

whelming 1.8 millionvoteswerecast, with the top twelve vote-gettersbeiigcombined tocomprise the band's final product, Reactionary, making this an album by and for the people.

The album's first track, "Disappointed," leaves this listener feeling quite the opposite.

Frontman Trever Keith's distinct vocals and catchy lyricswillhave you singing alongwithin moments of hitting play. "Out of Focus" follows with a hard-hitting intro preceeded by three and a half minutes of high-tempo beats andintrospectivelyrics.

Two tracksstandout mid-album: "Think forYourself"and"Solitaire."Bothexudepower through their grippingriffsand continuanceof Keith's lyrics that reveal himself to be admittedly human in essenceand onewho constantly questions social relationships. In these songs, the subject matter is easy to relate to, yet is delivered without a lot of the fluffiness that emanates from many emotion-edged bands.

The disc finisheswithanother solidtrack, "Estranged," which is not soseparatefrom the ferocity and punk appeal of the previous 11.

The Greatest Hits Aristu Records

MARISSA FRPAD special to Imprint

As is commonwithmost double CDs, Whitney Houston's aeatest hits are divided into slower songs (the Cool own disc) and more popular and remixed upbeat songs (theThtow Down disc). k i n g a f G of agoodbeat, Iamdefinitely acti id to theThrow Down disc andits energy. ~ i t h o n g I'hm notwhitnty9sbiggest f&; I am famiiiarwithmostof her songsover the last decade or w,and they're pretty much all here, from "How Will1Knqw'' toUIt'sNotRight But it's Okay."

Thirty-siu songs in totid, they cover just about every moment in Ms. Houston's life, from her beginningsand the "Greatest Loveof Alln to her movie successes, including Will

.

Always Love You" and "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)," to her most recent hits "Heartbreak Hotel" and "My Love is Your Love."

Overall, it's a veritable smorgasbord of popular music spanning two decades, even going so far astoinclude Houston'sliveversion of "The Star Spangled Bannernperformed at the 1991 Superbowl.

Although she's been amajor player in the music industry for years and her songs are known by most people, I didn'treally getasense of Whitney Houston's thematic consistency until I listened to this whole album.

All these years, Houston seemed so puttogether: an assertive, positive woman who knew what she was doing (withthe exception of the last year or so, of course).

While the Cool Down disc cons % ~entireli of original versions, the Throw Down disc has been attacked by various DJs experimentingwith sounds that render Houston's mellow NneS more danceable in a club environment.

Also featured on the album are vocal appearances from other talents including Faith Evans, Deborah Cox, Enriqut Iglesias and George Michael.

A jackpot of hits for fans of pop, this CD is at least worth alisten, if only to take a trip back in time and rememberthe days of neon clothes, bighair, and happy heartbreak.

Music for everybody to en New releases kom the Dandy Warhols, the Wicked Farleys and Richard Ashcroft

The Dandy Warhols Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Capitol JOSH VAN W I J K

speoil to Imprint Glamourous but classy,the latest disc from The Dandy Warhols doesn't give up all the goodies on the first listen. This is an unpredictable album. The first three songs are amaz-

ing; "Godless," "Mohammed," and "Nietzsche" all blend together in a delicious,droning wash reminiscent of My Bloody Valentineor The Jesus and Mary Chain. And then the shoegazing stops andis replaced by the unexpected twang of "Country Leaver."

The Dandy Warhols wear some of their musical influences on their sleeves, with nods to The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stones. Sometimes this works well, like the vintage Stones-esqueguitar riff that opens "BohemianLieYou." Theoccasional misstep aside, the vocals are a perfect match for the music. Courtney Taylor has a warm voice that can switch from smooth to husky and backagain,with the rest of the band filling in gorgeous harmonies. As an added bonus, bassist Zia McCabe bows her bass on some pieces, creaunga fantasac deep hum that you feel more than you hear.

The Wicked Farleys Make It It Big Top YVES

LEPAQE

special to Imprint So often I base an opinion of a CD on its cover or on a review. This is how I came across The Wicked Farleys' Make It It. The review comuared them to a ode st ~ o u s ea, band that I like very much. The cover art re-

minded me of an older Beautiful Southcover,so how badcouldit be?

The albumwas not exactly what I thought itwould be, but that can be a good thing in some cases. Although I was a little disappointed after the first listen, I thought I'd play it again and give it a chance.

TljsisdefinitelyaCD that slowly works its way through you and kind of gets you hooked by the time the last song comes around.

Think of aband that mixesequal parts of early Modest Mouse's type of indie rock, Death Cab for Cutie's penchant for weirdness, alittle emocore, ila Promise Ring and Mineral with its plaintive lyricsall wrapped in one DIY package, and you've got Boston'sThe Wicked Farleys.

Although I don't thinkMakeItlt will make it big, I get the feeling that this low-kev erouo mieht feel like r c . they have already made ~t somewhere that should keep them from

worrying, as they do on "Love Squats," the lead-off track: "So when are you gonna pay the rent?"

If you are looking for a band with a polished mix, then this CD is not for you. If you enjoy listening to honest music that has feeling, this could well be the album you've been waitingfor.

On the final track, "Strike Anywhere," singer Michael Brodeur seems to plead, "How do you do without? Not a thought before you blow it out."

After readingthis, you probably will still be surprised when you hear this CD. That probably isn't such a bad thing.

Just think of how boring life would be if you always knew what the surprise was going to be at the bottom of that Cracker Jack box.

Richard Ashcroft

Alone With Everybody Virgin Records

special to Imprint This is the solo debut of Richard Ashcroft, the former lead singer of The Verve. TheVerve was probably one of the most originalandsonically unique bands of the '90s.

After their breakup in April of 1999, Ashcroft started working on a solo project, which eventually became his solo album debut Alone WithEverybody.

Alone WithEverybody is aquality set of beautiful ballads and atrnosphericand moody songs. Backedup by strings and a choir, the album definitely does have a nostalgic vibe to it. But it's more like a blend of psychedelic rock and pop.

The album kicks off with the wonderful "A Song For The Lovers," but loses steam with the mellow "I Get My Bit." Fortunately, it doesn't take long for the album to pick up again.

The funky "New York," the ethereal "Brave New World" and "You On My Mind In My Sleep," and the popish "C'mon People (We're Making It Now)" are the standouts.

The album is not perfect; it has its hits and misses. It seems Richard Ashcroft feelsmorecomfortablestaying in his own territory and not tryingto be different thanTheVerve sonically This is definitely good for hardcore Verve fans. But anyone should expect an enormous talent like Richard Ashcroftto reinvent but not to repeat his roots.
