AM) OTHER WELL-KNOWN FACTS

ABOUT

Have you heard the real story behind Easter? It's not about bunnies, eggs, candy, or even family traditions.

Jesus of Nazareth later called "the Christ," was born nearly 2,000 years ago near Jerusalem, in a simple stable.

At thirty he began to teach massive crowds, perform miracles, and heal people of diseases and disabilities.

All sorts of people were drawn to follow hirn...prostitutes, crooks, thieves, and other known "sinners."

But many of the religious leaders drew increasingly annoyed...both with Jesus' popularity and with the shocking and startling statements he was making about himself. He identified himself as far more than a remarkable teacher or prophet. He began to say clearly that he was God. These leaders conspired to put Jesus to death by public execution, soliciting the Roman government in their plans. Months before his arrest, however, Jesus had announced several times that he would be crucified and that three days later he would rise from the dead. He was offering simple proof of his deity-three days after being killed, he would come back to life.

Jesus was indeed severely tortured. He was beaten, whipped, mocked with a crown of two-inch thorns pressed into his head, and nailed by his wrists and feet to a wooden barn-where he-hung, eventually dying

of slow suffocation. A spear was thrust into his side to confirm his death.

Because Jesus had stated he would rise from the dead in three days, a guard of trained Roman soldiers was stationed at his burial tomb. An offkial Roman seal was affixed to the tomb's entrance, declaring it government property.

In spite of all this, three days later his body was gone. Only the empty burial cloths which had encased his body remained. The boulder formerly sealing the tomb was found up a slope, some distance away.

How do we account for the missing body? The earliest explanation circulated was that Jesus' disciples stole the body. However, each of those men faced the test of torture and martyrdom for their testimony that they had seen Jesus after his resurrection. Men will die for what they believe to be true, though it may actually be false. They do not, however, die for what they know is a lie.

So what is the explanation? The Scriptures tell us that "God raised him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for him to be held in its power" (Acts 2.24). Why

would it be impossible for Jesus to be held in death's power? Because he was who said he was: God. God visited our planet as a man and then allowed himself to be unjustly executed. Why? So that we could come into a relationship with him. That's what it's all about. He died in our place, taking on our judgement. "All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity (sins) of us all to fall on him" (Isaiah 53.6) The reason for Jesus' death is you.

The Bible says that, "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3.16). Obviously, God cares for you and wants to be involved in your life. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him" (Revelation 3.20). If you ask him, he will come into your life, and you will never be the same.

MSA accused of anti-Semitism RYAN

MATTHEW MERKLEY Imprint staff

A

n e-mail sent to an MSAmailing list on February 9, has ralsed questions about the existence of anti-Semitic views within the ranks of the MSA membership.

The e-mail, mailed out by MSA member Nahar Fityani on behalf of the MSAexecutive, encouraged members to blockvote in the Federation of Students elections, held that week.

In the letter, Fityani argued that exhibits organized each term often face censorship from the Feds, opposing groups and other individuals. MSA mailing list members were encouraged to blockvote for AlbertNazareth, Yi Fan Chua, Andre Cousineau and Math Student Councillor candidate Mir Ahmed Ali Tariq who would support MSA exhibits without censoring them. In the letter, she writes: "If the wrong person wins, it will damage our efforts to raise awarenessof our oppressed brothers and sisters around the world!"

Many were leftwonderingwho the ''wrong person" is. Some people, including Feds VP Student IssuesDesireeTaric believed the letter was referring to presidential candidateyaacov fiand, who is ~ewish.

"From my viewpoint, and from many people's viewpoints, it is pretty discriminatory,"saidTaric.

Feds VP Student Issues-elect, Brenda Beatty, agreed that the letter was discriminatory. "Why is [thk election] becoming a racial issue or a religious issue?" she asked.

Surprisingly, the diplomatic Feds president-elect Yaacov Iland disagreed about the

letter's intent: "The wording in the e-mail in no way implies or in no way states anti-Semitism," said Iland. "It doesn't make any comments that are negative about any of the candidates, or anybody,in fact. I do find it disappointingthat alot of the candidates weren't asked what their opinions on the issues were before such an email wassent, but as far as anti-Semitism,I don't think thatthere's really any evidencefor that."

to an MSAmeeting where the groupaccepted both her selections and her suggestion to encourage a block vote using the mailing list.

Fityani admitsthat she relied on campaign materials to make her determination, instead of soliciting comment from the candidates.

Despite a lack of research on many of the candidates, there is no shortage of opinions on Yaacov Iland.

Brenda Beatty insisted that Iland showed

"We're not anti-Semitic, we're being antisomeone who's pro-Israel."

-MSA President Zia Hoda Several other candidates have expressed their concern that they were not contacted by Nahar Fityani or by the MSA to discuss their views, includingAndre Cousineau-who was selected by Fityani-andFityani herself admits that her research was limited.

"We wenttoward theNazarethcampaign because he was stressing that they wanted to have a more multi-cultural campus and they promoted multiculturalism and diversity, so we thought 'We'll just vote for that bunch,'" explained Fityani.

Fityani's reasons for choosing Math Councillor candidate Mir Ahmed Ali Tariq have muchless to do with politics.

"I picked himbecausehe'sin firstyear, and I think people in first year are more motivated," she said.

Fityani's recommendations were brought

no bias in his campaign, adding "just because one group saystheysupportsomething doesn't mean that the other people don't support it."

MSA president Zia Hoda explains that although Iland showed no bias in his campaign, MSAmembershave reported a pro-Israeli bias demonstrated through Iland's class participation. "Yaacov has expressed pro-Israeli comments in class. Even though he might not have done it in the campaign, what you do outside or in class is also important."

Fityani agrees, adding "We already know what his bias is from before, and I don't think he would deny that he's pro-Israel. I don't think it's good enough security for us, because we already know he has a bias."

The Feds elections committee did not receive any complaints regarding the e-mail, and the deadline for complaints has now passed.

Millionaire hits UW

$1.2 million for UW research HALA K H A L A P Imprint staff

T

heCanadaFoundationfor Innovation (CFI)and the Ontario InnovationTrust (OIT),together withindependent contributions from the industry sector and o parmerships, have racked up a total of $1.2 million to aidin thelaunchingofthreedifferent research projects at UW. CFI 1s an independent, not-for-profit crowncorporation that will investf9.6million in 2001 to help launch the careers of new researchers at 25 Canadian universities.

The projects are assessed accordingto the quality of research and the need for inframructure, the contribution to strengthening the capacity for innovation, and the potentialbeoefits of the research to Canada. Three projects

by UW professors Chris Hudson,Shoufa Lin, and Raafat Mansour have fulfiuedthese miteria and obtained approval.

Professor Hudson,Assadatehofessor at the School of Optometry, hcads a pPPjca entitled "The Establishment of aMulti-Difceiplinary Laboratory for the Research of Sight-

to a new classificationof early macular edema in people with diabetes and an improved understanding of the natural history of early sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy," said Hudson. "This information will be utilized to ass$sm~ewtreatments topreserve the vision of diabetes."

Professor Lin, astructural geologist at the Departmentof Earth Sciences, heads a project entitled "Equipment for Field-basedGeologidResearch."

The new infrastructure wlll provide new equipment required for fieldwork and new facilities needed in the labs to process data and samples collected in the field.

T b e research.. .will help [in the] assessment and [the] sustainable development of Can&'$ resources; especially mineral regourccs,"says Lin. Professor Mansour of the Department of Elrctrical and Computer Engineering, was aided by his former PhD student Vien Van in hcadihg a project entitled "Laboratory for C&nactc&ationofAdvanced RFIMicrowave

These new fpilities will improve the clinical monitoringof retinal disease and,in particular, macular edema, which is a sight-threatening complication of diabetes.

"It is anticipated that the researchwill lead 4

and testing of novel miniaturized radio frequency devices for wireless and satellite communicationsystems,"says Mansour.

Over the years, CFI has awarded the University of Waterloo $18,215,142 to fund 39 different research projects. It is contributions such as these that provide researchers with access to the equipment and facilitiesthey need to undertake research.

However, the e-mail has raised several questions about the actions of the MSA and their future club status. The letter suggests incidents of censorship on the part of the Feds that both Desiree Taric and Clubs Director Ryan Eagles strongly deny.

"The facts [of the e-mail] are irrefutably wrong," saysTaric. "We said, 'It'snotour place to decide anything about your displays and so you guys do your thing, but make sure it has your name and a contact name, just so people know who to get in touch with instead of coming to us all the time.'"

In fact, the displaysin question would fall under the discretion of the SLC management board. Nancy O'Neil, who acts as assistant to the manager of the SLC, said that there is no record of any group beingcensoredwithin the SLC, and that the management of the SLC discourages censorship of any kind.

Currently, Clubs Director Ryan Eagles is arranging a meeting with the MSA to determine exactly what was their intent, and what repercussions there may be.

"The way that I see it, if they are under us, then we have a lot of power," says Taric. "We can revoke their status, but also we can put them on probation, but it keeps them in check so we still see them. If we just decide to disintegrate their clubstatus, for all weknow, they're just going to go out and do so much more because now they're angry and there's no way to control that."

Tariccontinued: "I would consider putting them on probation, taking away some of their benefits and saying 'Listen, you have to really straighten up and start acting your age."'

W students wiilhave the opportunity to test their wits over the next month.

The faculty student societies will be hostingahomegrownversionofWhoWantsto beaMillionaire.

Math student Cory Gaudette has developedacomputer'prograh thatwill bring allthe familiar siehts and sounds of the hit television " show straight to our very own Davis Centre.

The grand prize may not be a million dollars, but then again reading week at UW isn't really a week for many students either.

The Math Society has already run a version of Millionaire twice for its own students.

This timearound, armedwithanewlydesigned computer program and slate of almost 800 newquestions, the event is being hosted jointly by all of the faculty societies. "It's very rare ;hen the societies'do something toge;her," remarked MathSoc vresident Paul Rovston. , , "1t7sgoingto be a loiof fun."

Each of the societies, along with the Federation of Students, have contributed financially to the event, ensuringthat there will bea "dazzling array of fabulousprizes" available to the contestants. Prizes range from two free photocopies at the student society of your choice (for answering one question correctly), to an inflatable love-seat (answering 10 questions correctly),to aDVD player (answering 15 questions).

Bringing the popular show to campus didn't start off easily. Gaudette "had to do a

bunch of wing-wangs," explained Royston.

When Gaudette decided to bring the show to the whole campus, he felt that getting official permission to use the trademarked symbols would allow him to attract corporate sponsorship.

Aphone call to CTVled Gaudette to legal representatives for Disney, which led to ABC, which led to more lawyers from Buena Vista Television.

While Gaudette didn't receive official endorsement for the event, he was informed that as long as the societies didn't profit from the event, there was no reason for any legal action.

Gaudette has also tried unsuccessfully to bring UW Governor Pamela Wallin in to host the show.

Reproducing the show exactly as it is on television isn't quite possible, but Gaudette has managed to duplicate many of the key elements of the show. Contestants will be able tu "phone a friend" in the audience, or ask the audience to raise placardsindicating their preferred answer as lifelines. Also, in order to qualify to sit on the hot seat, players will have to be the first of eight potential players to answer a qualifying question.

Gaudette is hosting four sessions of the Mil~ionaireshowon March 2,6,9 and 23 inDC 1302. Interested students &I sign up to be contestants at anv of the student societv offices or the Fed offic;, and must do so at l i s t two days before the session in which they hope to be contestants.

So, if your looking for the final answer to a boring Friday afternoon, come on down.

WLU 'students vote. Students to head back to polls MARK

n February 8, students at Wilfrid Laurier University went to the polls to elect their new student government as well as to vote on several referendum items. The referendum questions were important to the future financial viability of their student newspaper, The Cord, as well as the future of technology on campus.

One of the questions involved StudentPublicationsinstitutinganew student fee of their own. In the past, the Students' Union had collected onestudent fee anddistributed 1Sper cent of it to Student Publications, which is the parent organization of The Cord. However, the Students' union wanted to lower their fee by 15 per cent and have Student Publications collect their own fee.

Therefore, students were faced with two decisions: whether or not they wanted to lower the Students' Union fee, and whether or not they wanted to create anewStudentPublications fee to fund TheCord.

Students said yes to both items, resulting in a new fee of $4.26 per term, which will be indexed to inflation. Student Publications had promoted the new fee as granting "enhanced freedom for WLU Student Publications and The Cordn and alefficiency for lowing for WLUStudentPublicationsandWLU

An appeal was brought before the Elections Appeals Committee that "often times, candidates are known not simply by their firstor last names but by their full names (including middle names and/or nicknames)." Although the Chief Returning Officer, Dave Drewe, allowed the candidatesto submit their names as they wouldlike it toappear on the ballots, "the names submitted were not the names that appeared."

"It is the belief of the Elections Appeals Committee that this may have altered the intent ofvoters who

may not have recognized one or more of the candidates as the proper name was notdisplayed."According to the decision of the Appeals Committee, the Committee "nullifiesthe resultsof saidelectionanddirects the Chief Returning OIficer to hold a newvote for the Math Regular council seat." It is up to theChief Returning Officer to ensure.all eligible voters are aware of the new vote. The Committee notes that they do not "believe that further campaigningi~ required for this election, and therefore simply directs the Returning Officer to holdsaidelection within a reasonable time period."

Where have all the grads gone?

There are 1,768 graduate students on the UW campus. For the size of the UW campus, that is much less than any other university in Canada. Grads make up a mere 10 per centof full-timestudents while schools like Laurier (13 per cent), Toronto (24 per cent) and McGill (25 per cent) can boast a higher ratio. The plan to get more graduate students will start by developing new and innovative programs and finding more bursaries and scholarshipsfor graduate students.

Women in math Think you can design a better logo than Arts? Well, the Women in Math committee is looking for entries for their Logo contest.

The committee is looking for a "cooln logo.

The contest is open to all students in the Faculty of Mathematics and should be in colour on 8 '/r by 11paper. Submissions must be dropped off at the Dean of MathematicsOffice, MCS200, by March 16.

onrad Black once said, "Reporters come down a n d shoot the wounded." Tony Wilson-Smith, the keynote speaker at Imprint's recent National Journalism Conference, cited this quote in his lecture. Wilson-Smith,the National Affairs Editor for Maclean's, delivered aspeechonThursday, February 22, while most of the campus was away for reading week.

His talk was attended by about 30 people, which made for a rare intimate evening'in Hagey Hall HumanitiesTheatre. Wilson-Smith,Director of Online Services for Maclean-Hunter, enjoyed the intimacy and entertained questions from the audience throughout his talk.

The speech touchedon anumber of

issues, including the nature of Web media, the convergence of media, and how to get into journalism.

One delegate from Douglas C~lle~e'sTheOtherPress, asked about freelancing. Wilson-Smithwas quick to respond that freelancing as a career was not a good idea, as it is difficult to make enough money. uwstudent.org's George Roter lamented that "the major news streams do not facilitate conversation." Wilson-Smithagreed,explaining,"we recognize that, but moving the national media is like turning an ocean liner." This sort of active dialogue enhanced and characterized the talk.

Imprint Conference Coordinator, Ryan Matthew Merkley, said, "I think that the delegates were able to benefit from such an interactive atmosphere."

s Canadians, what kinds of challenges will we confront over the next twenty years? How can we develop foresight andinsight into the way the future will unfold?

On Wednesday February 28, former Ontario Premier BobRae deliveredalecture to a packed and attentive audience at Hagey Hall's Humanities Theatre. The event was part of theWPIRGlectureseries,2020: Buildingthe Future, whose objectives are to provoke thought, generate ideas, and engage in discussion about the direction of our future.

The official title of the lecture, "Prospects for the idea of Canada," seems somewhat ambiguous, but nonetheless, Bob Rae's words were inspired, and resonated with years of hands-on experience. Although he spoke mostly in broad terms, the weight ofhis words and the applications of his ideas were farreaching. Rae's philosophies did not come across as half-bakedor sensationalistic,but were in fact practical in a long-term context.

For about an hour, Rae opened up the floor to a number of divisive issues that have affected the Canadian fabric,and will continue to dominate well into the 21st century. Citing renowned Rabbi and intellectual, Hillel, Rae structured his speech using three fundamental questions, whiie integratingsuchissues as globalization, inequality, and Aboriginal rights.

The first question: If l a m got for myself, then who t s for me? This question refers to the significanceof autonomy and personal responsibility. Rae insists that personal importance encourages the affirmation of the individual, which is itself an integral part of one's success.

To confront inevitable problems in Canada, and indeed. the world over.,evervone must be , afforded the right to his or her own identity; as Rae himselfconcedes,"Globalizationforcesus

onsidering its profitability, Ground Zero seems to be living up to its name. The Feds restaurant, locatedinthe SLC, has beensuffering an embarrassing lapse in business since its opening in 1997.

This may come as a surprise to some frequent visitors of the restaurant. The eatery does have its busy times and occasionally you have to wait to get a table.

Occasionally.

Groundzero has lost its appeal to students for a few reasons, which I have discussed with friends and those who frequent the eatery.

First, the restaurant is open during an archetypal working day and not open during potentially peak periods, such as the dinner hour whenno classes arescheduled.Thp breakfast seems popular, but aside from that, the restaurant is a deserted room.

Many of my friends really like the food, but commenton the slow service. Speedy service is particularly important for students who are usually pressed for eating time in between classes.

Some admit that the dtcor is boring. Perhaps a total renovation of the restaurant is needed to keep people staying for drinks and appetizers.

By no means do I intend to rant about how Ground Zero could be more profitable. I don't claimto be amarketing genius, but some of the comments I have heard do have merit.

I've become weary of Feds food services ever since the birthofthe Bomber Deli. Don't get me wrong; two-dollar sandwiches every Tuesday basically saved me from malnutrition every week. But I wasconcerned with how the business was run.

Many times, product was out of stock, Q

down to our local identities."

The second question: If I am only for myself, then what am I?Indeed, Rae suggests that it is deceiving to believe that the individual is everything. On the contrary, hebelieves that the values of community are essential for a society to survive as a whole, as well as for individuals to thrive on their own.

Also, he suggested that we will never be immune to such ethnic conflicts as inequality and discriminationbecause challengeswill only grow as time unfolds. He stressed for Canadians to reahze that ethnicconflict stems from "a failure to recognize the integrity of the other."

Eloquently phrased, and dynamically articulated, Rae's words filled the theatre with a medley of caution and hope.

The thirdquestion: Ifnot now, when?This question, he explained, implies that goals are obtained throughimmediateaction, or in other words, Canada can only be as prosperous as we choose to make it.

which was surprisingconsideringthat it doesn't take agenie to tell you every Tuesday will be a busy day at the deli. Sometimes1cringed as the Bomber Delistaff members wrapped their bare hands aroundmy potatochips and tossed them besidemy sandwich, especiallyafter they sneeze or scratch their faces.

I truly believe that the Bomber staff is &an, but the act is somewhat difficult to overcome. (I should mention the Pita Pit staff seems to also have a noglovespolicy, so thisphenomenon isn't quarantined to the Bomber).

Perhaps all these reasons above suggest that the Feds and the food service business aren't meant to be. Surely, there are ways to make Ground Zero a cash cow.

The problem, however, is that the Feds will have to put a lot of money in to get a little out.

The restaurant will need a renovation, or anewgimmick, per se. Sports bar, coffee house, jazz lounge, or whatever seems to be trendy to students these days.

The restaurant will need to be open at relevant hours, which calls for labour. The restaurantcan'tsurvive by closing every day at 4:30p.m.

Finally, the restaurant will need to solve the slow service problem. Renovating the kitchen to accommodate both the newrestaurant and the Bomber food servicesseems to be one of the answers.

So what will it take to get you to visit Ground Zero on a regular basis? Let's face it people; the Feds need a big hand with this one.

Write in and let me know what will turn your restaurant (yeah, you own it) into the campus cynosure. It's pretty bad when a restaurant's owners won't even eat there.

Ethics and the bottom line

I

n Ms. Cella's article, "The Beginnings of a Hospital Researcher," published in last week's Imprint, she remarks on the new world she discovered on her work term as a hospital researcher. Of concern to me was Ms. Cella's statement that all her previous work terms had been in the industrial and corporate worlds where the bottom line was profit but, "Here it is saving the lives of people through research."

It is, however, worth noting thatthe influence of profit as the bottomline even inmedical researchis part of the package of globalization (read the commodification of all sectors of our lives). Adirectthreat resulting fromcorporate owned and directed research is the stifling of "unwanted" findings.

Naomi Klein's book No Logo identifies three such caseswhere researcherswere threatenedwith their jobs for attempting to publicize negative results that would be damaging to corporate interests.

The first case is of a medical researcher who was hired through a BootslUniversity of California partnership to compare the effectiveness of a generic thyroid drug and the brand name Synthroid, a bio-equivalent thyroid drug produced by the company Boots.

The researcher didnot find that Synthroidwas superior, as hoped by the company, and therefore couldnot helpBoots legitimizeitsproduct over the generic equivalent.

Boots was able to successfully halt the publication of the findings through a veto clause within its contract with the university, allowing the company the right to prohibitthe publication of findings. Dr. Betty Dong, the medical researcher, went aheadwithpublicizing the entire story (including the potential savings of $365 milli~na year for the 8 million Americans currently using the brand name drug) and the company finally backed off.

During Dong's battle with Boots, the University of Californiastood behind the company (rather

than supporting the integrity of ethical research) because of its fear of a lawsuit.

A second case in 1999 occurred with researcher Nancy Olivieri, world renowned as a scientist and expert on the blood disorder thalassemia. At the Hospital for Sick Children, Olivieri, hired through an Apotex/University ofTorontopartnership, foundthat the Apotex companies'drugshewastestingrnight,insome cases, have life-threatening side-effectsto patients. This case was similar in terms of corporate action regarding publication of findings and Olivieri was threatened by a lawsuit if she publicizedthe results of her study. Olivieriwent ahead with publicizing, even though both the hospital and university failed to defend her.

After being demoted, she undertook a long public battle and was eventuallyable to get her job back.

The final case mentioned in No Logo involved an occupational health physician, Dr. Kern,commissionedthroughthe Memorial Hos~italin Rhode Is- SANTA land to study two cases of lung disease at a textile factory. Dr. Kern discovered six more cases at the same factory when only 1 in40,000 is the incidence of this type of lung disease foundin the general population. The textile company threatened to sue him when Kern tried to publish his findings and again in this case, the hospital (and affiliated unlversity)sided with the company.

Naomi Klein goes on to say in her book that, "The only elementout of the ordinary in these three cases of stifled research is that they involved academics with the personal integrity and the dogged tenacity to publicly challenge their corporate partners and their ownemployers-

factors that eventually led to the truth coming out in the press. But relying on crusading individuals to protect the integrity of academic research does not provide a foolproof safeguard inevery case."

This type of corporate control of research is a frightening indication of the loss of control and "publicinterest" found atour institutions, perceived as devoted to equity, fairness, democracy, and the welfare of the citizenry. It is horrible that Ms. Cella (and many other medical researchers) who want to do research to help savepeople'slives are now forced towork within asettingwhere (sameold story) profit is still the bottom line.

To stand up for the protection and safety of the publicshould not mean that you have to risk your job or career.

Another look at our letters their carection

It's nice to edit a paper that seems to have such astrong letter writing tradition. Unlike The Cord or The Ontarron -who are lucky to get two or three a week, more if they've really

atmy attentionisspreadevenly hroughout the paper, I must onfess a certain fondness for the letters to the editor.

Letters arethemostimmediate connection readers have withany paper. While they can sometimes be predictable, it's often fascinating to see what readers feel isimportant enough to respond to. Unlike most papers (like The Record and the big national dailies, for instance),we try asmuch as possible to print what comes in and keep edits to aminimum. What the lettersmay lack in reason, they make up for in passion.

One of my favourites from the summer was passionate and to the point: "This is to the fucking loser who stole my bike last Wednesday (June 7).You suck, buddy! You are apiece of shit coward, and if I ever seeyou riding my bike around, you are going to get a beating! And to all the people who saw it being done and didn't do anything, you all suck too!"

readers appear to have fewqualms aboutsharing their opinion with us.

Appearances can be deceiving, however.

Acouple of weeks ago, I thanked a woman for dropping off a letter. "Whatever," she said, "it's for a class."

People write to Imprint for marks? So much for spontaneous passion.

With this in mind, I began to take a closer lookat the letters we receive, andit wasn'thard to begin - to .~ickoutthosewrittenfor aclass. Last week we received hard copies of five letters written in the proper business letter form (ie address of writer, date, address of recipient, salutation, etc.). These letters stood out not only because1 waslooking more closely at the mail but also because in this increasingly electronic age we almostnever receive hard copies of our letters.

The formal style was also a bit of a giveaway, because e-mailhasmade peoplelazy, or at least done away with most of the formalities that used to be associated with letter writing.

We're lucky if we get a "To the Editor."

I'm still not sure what to think. Part of me

is glad that Imprint is being incorporated into classroomactivities. Imprint has always been part of the informal learning process; I like the idea that it's also part of the formal process as well.

But I wonder, how does writing to Imprint fit into the class? For instance, is any part of the mark contingent on the letter gettingpublished? Do people talkabout the roleletters to the editor play inanewspaper?

Are people required to read the paper and respond to something or just write on any old thing that happens tointerestthematthe time?

Regardlessof the answers, the fact that some students are required to write letters has changed theway Isee thesectionandwill probably change the way we handle letters in the future.

When I was naive enough to think that people were writing because they feltstrongly enough to take the time to send us a letter, I was prepared to find room for their opinions in the paper.

Now that I know that students are being told to findsomethingto be passionateabout, I doubt that 1'11 be as interested in making sure that we print every single letter that comes in.

Online voting a failure

wh

en I read the other day in the Imprint article "New executive ready to play the game" that quotes Feds Chief Returning Officer DavidDrewe as saying "There hasn't been asingle concern aboutthe security that came up, . . ." he is quite simply lying, unless he means that there hasn't beena concern but rather many concerns raised. I raised these concerns with him directly which make? this all the more troubling.

Prior to the election, I raised a large number of security concerns with himdirectly,andwiththeother election committee members. After the election, I also expressed some additional security concerns to a member of the election committee.

Toputitsimply,somebodycould have hacked this uastelectionand we would never know the difference. It is within the technical capability of a large percentage of students at this university to do so, and further, the administrative details of the system are unknown. For example, the source code is not public, and it was not made public who has root access on the Feds server, the votingserver, and the UWdir. All things considered, this online vote experiment should be considered a failure, not a success, as Mr. Drewe would have us believe. Turnoutwas notup, security concerns were high, the interface was hard to use and co-op students weren't adequately notified of the election.

Next year we should have a transparent and secure election that relies on technology that has been thoroughly tested -paper.

Smoker sympathizer To the Editor,

Th'

is is a response to a previous letter to the editor called "Thick smoke,no breeze" by StevenJ. Workman printed on February 9,2001.

Firstly, I would like to point out that I am a non-smoker and I too am concerned about my health. The reason for my letter is to respond to Steven's views on smokers and the air that we breathe.

I agree with him that smokers are around the buildings in between lectures to have their "fix," but what Steven failed to note was that these people are simply socializing with their friends under sheltered areas while the weather outside sucks.

There aren't any designated areas for smokers (none that I know of) and they have as much freedom to smoke where they want to just as non-smokers have the freedom to complain.

For Steven, even KitchenerWaterloo has had something done about smoking in publicplaces, so for recognition purposes, this is astart at keeping an eye out for everyone's health.

If there is a huge concern for all non-smokerslike Steven on campus, then the universitv should consider designatingareasaround campus for smokers,thisway non-smokerswon't be so bitter and we will "all be able to get along."

I amnot trying to defendsmokers but until suggestions are made and implemented, nothing will be accomplished at satisfying everyone andcomplaintswill continue to soar.

I understand that Steven wasmaking his point about keeping the air clean for everyoneand I agree with him to a certain extent, but if he is going to complain about the air altogether, why focus just on the smokers at the university?

How about writing letters to every factory that also contributes to the polluting of our air as well as our health?

These are simply my ownviewpoints and I give credit to Steven whereaeditisdue. Ithinkthatsmokers and non-smokers will be much more compatible when something is accomplished on campus to satisfy everyone so that we can enjoy the air that we all share.

Whiny smokers

I

amwriting in responseto Graham Duke'sletter to the editor onFebruary 16 in which he referred to non-smokers as "whiny jerks" and suggested that we buy ourselves gas masks.

The "one square foot of real estate" is not the problem - the problemis the30foot radius around smokers that is polluted. I have a problem with smokers who stand right in front of doorways, doorways which the rest of us have to use to -get from place to place, or walk along pathways smoking, again which are the only way for the rest of us to get from one building to another.

Itis incrediblyinconsiderate.My first co-op term I worked at a place thatrequired that people not smoke within a 30 foot radius of doorways so that people could exitthe building without being subjected to a cloud of smoke. They also had an outdoor "smoking hut" (asmalltrailer)where smokers could smoke out of the cold -an intelligent idea to get around laws prohibiting smoking inside workplaces.This was a brilliantpolicy that UW would do well to imitate.

Be considerate - walk away from a doorway, stop somewhere and don't smoke while walking on public pathways, and for goodness sake make sure you're outside the building before you light up -the smell between doors lingers for a long time afterwards.

Studentslike youand Ishould be able to learn that which is objective, factual, and not sponsored to suit the interests of any particular organization. Instead, we are normally herded and forced to accept a thought process that is pre-determined and endorsed by sponsorship from external business interestsoncampus. Mr. Halai, you are falling right into their trap.

We should be given a choice when it comes to cola beverages and everything else regarding our university education, but we aren't.

I couldcomplain aboutthe lack of choice on a lot of petty issues concerning my post secondary education or life in general, but through my studies here at the University of Waterloo I have learned instead to concentrate on the overall picture. It is much more important to be aware of themass commercialization that is taking over our campus than to snivel at the fact that my cola beverage of choice has never been readily available until now.

You drink Coke, I prefer Pepsi, and either way there are options to deal with the choices others present to us. I'm justsurprisedit's taken the Federation of Students this long to finally move into "The Next Generation."

-Wendy Visser 4B Geography

I

am writing in response to the whining commentary made by Abbas Halai.

Mr. Halai, while you are complaining about the lack of Coke vendors at UW, thereisaseri~usl~ threatening development occurring on campus to which you are oblivious.

Have you not noticed the increasingly rampant commercialization occurring within our school?

With every financial deal the University (or the Federation of Students in this case) strikes with another company, our school becomes less independent as a learning institution.

tim. WhileImyself do not personally have a fear of being sexuallyassaulted, I do care for and worry about those around me and as such it does scare me that this kindofsituationoccured.

While being aman excludes me from directly experiencing or understanding the fear that women have of being sexually assaulted, it does not mean that I cannot at least have some compassion for, or relative understanding of this fear.While I did not find your reaction to be overreacting (I strongly agree that many men need to re-assess their views on howtointeractwith women, and how they view women in general for that matter) I did find the stereotypical tone of thearticle to be rather hurtful to me as a male member of our society.

Do not simply assume that every man is aself-centred chauvinistic pig, I am very certain that many of us do care a great deal, even if we cannot directly experience the same fear that a woman can.

In the end I think the better questiontoaskwouldbe: "Howmany men worry that someone will sexually assault someone they know or care about?"I think you will recieve quite a different answer.

A

fter readirig the article "Sexual Predators Don't Always Hide," in the February 23 issue of Imprint, I was left feeling that the author believes men as a whole have very littlerespect for women in our society.

Besides being generalized as having no understanding of the fear that women have of being physically or sexually assaulted, Ialso received the idea that men as a whole would find the author to be overreacting.

When I first heard of the sexual assaults that had taken place, I was outraged that somethinglike this had taken place in our community and felt very badly for the victims. And believe it or not, the next emotion I felt was fear. Fear that any of my female friends, or any woman for that matter, would be the next vic-

To the man in the car

ne day last week as I was walking along a rather deserted Ring Road, a car driving past slowed ;lawn. You rolled down your window and yelled out at me: "Dumb bitch! Drive by shooting!"

I felt attacked, and I felt angry.

But Ial~~feltvery sad, because Idon't think you realize how serious the consequences of your actions really are. Your words were like a heavy brick that you flungout the window at me.

That brick gets added to a wall that separates women fromsecurity, safety, and peace. Because of this wall, constructed by words and actions like yours add many that are muchworse, womenare forced to be afraid. Women must fear things like being sexuallyassaulted in Waterloo

Park. Others are trying to tear down this wall, but for every brick they remove, actions like yours add another layer.

For the sake of the women in your life, for the sake of all women, I suggest you think more carefully the next time you are in a car driving past a woman.

Incompetence abound

T

he aiticle "Don't have a cow" was a pretty bad example of scholarshipljournalism.

Firstly, a ruminant is any mammal of the suborder Ruminantia (order Artiodactyla). Ruminants have multi-chambered stomachs (most have 4, some have 3) and chew their cud (i.e. chew grass, digest a bit in stomach #I, spit it up and chew again, sendit to the remaining stomachs). It is not found in carcasses. . . it usually is the carcass!

Second, BSEICJD is believed to be caused by prions, which are misshapen proteins. Itwould have been helpful to list this fact, as this was a science article. As far as I am aware, BSE is believed to have been caused when sheep with these prions were rendered into cattle feed to provide extra protein.

Third, the reporter demonstratedsome strange biasin the comment, "The insidious path of how BSE got so much attention began in 1986 with a herd of cattle that was infected. Not surprisingly, this case

occurred inEngland." I have no idea what thismeans, but this was a pretty low blow/totally incoherent statement. Ineither case, itshouldn'thave been printed.

Fourth, the article was just generally incoherent. I am assumingthat you have an editorial staff who are supposedto clean up awrjter's sometimes unholy massacre of the English language.

The followingpassages question their competence and involvement in the production of the newspaper: "WithCJD,thedisease founditsway into younger patients and lasted for a longer duration in their host than CJD", "So far, researchers have found that there has been no cure known for h i s disease."

Waterloo does have a fairly strong base in the sciences, and it is disappointingwhenit isnot reflected in the student newspaper.

Stop and smell your armpits

I

n regards to Minh Tran's February 16 article entitled, "Hygiene is so overrated," I have a few questions that I would like Tran to clarify.

1. Do you brush and/or floss your teeth to combat cavities, tartar buildup, andgingivitis?

2. Do you wipe your behind toavoid making a mess in your pants?

3. Do you ever wear makeup to illuminate your facial features?

4. Do you apply deodorant to mask

9 your unpleasant bodily aromas?

If you answered "no" to any of the above queshons, you are either t specia) lying or b) a ~ e r f e chuman men that does not need to succumb to the practices of human hygiene.

I find your viewpoint a tad too self-righteous for my liking. First of all, yousuggest that Ishould "cleanse my soul insteadof flossing mygums."

Yes, I agree that I should strive for spiritualenllghtenment,but how can I accomplishthis when my gums are inflamed and my teeth are painfully decaying?

Secondly, you indicate that I should "purify my spirit instead of wiping my bum." Well, excuse me, but I certainly don't want a purified spirit if it means that I have to lug aroundasquishy, fetid-smellinglump of feces in my pants.

Next, youclaim that1 "pile on" makeup and deodorant because I lack confidence. Actually, I wear makeup to enhance my God-given beauty. I have no qualms walking down a street, my face devoid of makeup. And I wear deodorant out of respect to others.

Finally, you insist that I "mask my inner odours with Paco Rabanne."Yes,I like to spritzmyself with 'Ultraviolet,' but not because I reekinside. I simply like tosmell nice, time and place permitting, once in a while. WhenIam internallyplagued, I do not run for my perfume bottle; Irun to my parents, my friends, God. So,nowthatyou knowa bit about my hygiene habits, stop and smell your armpits -understand that "innerhygiene" and outer hygiene can and do co-exist on this campus!

No soup for you To the Editor, DARYL NOVAK special to Imprint

D

irect citizen democracy, where citizens don't just vote once every four years, but take an active role in shaping their society, is the WPIRG theme for this month.

Waterloo Region's first Independent Media Conference will be held atthe University ofwaterloo on Saturday, March 3,2001,lO a.m. 4:30 p.m. in the Davis Centre. IMC -Waterloo (Independent Media Centre) and WPIRG are hosting this one day regional gathering of alternative and independent media producers andactiviststhatwill highlight independent media producers and their work, network with media activists throughout Southern Ontario and helpsupportthe growthof IMCs in this area.

IMC-Waterloo is a grassroots organization connected to an international network committed to using media production, distribution and training as a tool for promoting social and economicjustice. Using the internet, video, print and audio media, it illuminates and analyses local and global issues that impact ecosystems, communities and individuals. IMCs generate alternatives to corporate structures through its own organization as well as working withothers whoshare thesamegoals.

On Monday, March 5, scholar Cindy Milstein from the Institute for Social Ecology will be visiting the UniversityofWaterloo.Sheis a board membq of the Institute for Social Ecology and the Institute for Anarchist Studies, writes for anti-authoritarian periodicaly, is an editor and graphic designer, and has long been active in avariety of anarchist political organizations, counter institutions, alternative publications, community organizing projects, and social movements. Her talks will explore the growing surge in citizen actions protesting non-democram global institutions, like the World Trade Organization.

The theme of her 3:30 p.m. student colloquium in the WPIRG office is anarchy. She contends that anarchism, in advocating a free and d~versesociety, has proved to be one ofthemost open ofpolitical theories, often linkingwidely disparate views under the anti-authoritarian banner of "no gods, no masters." Yet, it is perhaps the only tradition that has consistently rooted out domination in its many forms, whilealsoattempting to theorize and practice utopian alternatives. It has also been acrucial catalystfor whathas become aglobal movement today, potentially offering an alternative to the hegemony of representative democracy and Western capitalism. But how exactly

has anarchism helped shape and define this direct action movement?

What strengths has it brought, and will it continue to offer, in this struggle for a better world? And what are anarchism'sownlimitations?What is the rple and relevanceof anarchism, and its opposition to both state and capital, in amovement that includes a variety of perspectives on the phenomenon calledglobalization?

At 7 p.m. in room 1304 of the Davis Centre, Cindy's lecture will explore how soc~alecology, a successful implementationof anarchism praxis, with its notion of libertarian municipalism,conceivesof politics as a form of popular self-governance by confederated, face-to-face citizens'assemblies. a s form of democracy is both a political ideal and a potentially revolutionary practice.

How does direct democracy work and why is it important for a free society, and how can we begin to move towardit in the here and now?

Directly democraticpolitics needs to beseennotasa tacnc, like the protests in Seattle, but as the very process by which humans organize egalitarian andethicalpublic policy making. This entailsunderstanding differentforms of power and ultimately, struggling for liberatory institutions that give everyone an equal share in making substantwe decisions about their own lives and that of their communities.

Freeloading downloaders To the Editor,

T

his letter is in response to last week's letter by Bernard Tang concerning Napster.

Frankly, the letter struckme not as being a well-formed argument against the W a n d their malicious plans for the popular file-sharing system, but rather a hopeless last squeal from someone whols been freeloading ever since Napster opened its proverbial doors.

You can wrap it up in whatever

half-baked rationalisations you like, butthe fact is that distributing stolen music viaNapster is illegal.

Eachofyourjustificationscomes with a palpable sense of despair.

"Breaking down barriers between countries and between people?"

Please. We all love the convenience ofNapster, but if you respect the laws that protect you as a citizen, you have to respect the laws that protect filthy, stinking, wretched entities like the music industry from losing (potential) millions to leechware like Napster.

Attempting to prop up the issue with a string of weak semi-moral justifications for Napster's right to exist is to miss the point entirely. The right course of action is not to drum up see-through propaganda defending Napster, but to combat,withvalid arguments, the laws opposing it.

-NickTaylor 3B ComputerScience

Hasta la vista, Napster

I

n response to the letter entitled "Napster Be Gone" in the last issue of Imprint, I have to respectfully disagree with Bernard Tang that the shutdown of Napster is a bad thing.

Tang argues that Napster is good because wecanget music for free. In one way, he's right: it's definitely good for the consumer's bankbook, but it's bad for the artists who have put their time and effort into producing a product so they can make a living. While some artists like Metallica aren't starving over lost revenue from Napster, they should have the right to decide whether they want to sell their music or give it away.

Tang then states that Napster allows us to "sample the CDs we are planning to buy."LetYstry to berealistic. CD burners are economical enough that anyone can buy one and make copies of anything they want.

Good for us, bad for the artists.

I'm not sure what Tang means when he writes "Napster users are exposed to adiversityofmusic from all over the world." Napster is a searchengine, whichmeans youonly find what you look for. If I look up Korn,I'mnotgoing to find aGerman polka.

I agree withTang thatNapsterstyle programs are proliferating, but you can't justify bad behaviour by saying that it will never completely stop. If that were true we wouldn't need a judicial system because hey, crime is never going to completely stop.

Finally, the argument Tang doesn't mention but that seems to be a sticking point for most Napster users is that itgives exposure to independent or new bands. I urge you to keep in mind that it is perfectly legal to postnon-copyrighted material on Napster. This means that artists can decide whether or not they wish to post their music on Napster by copyrighting it.

Yes, the death of Napster will be a triumph for the corporate labels, but itwill alsogive control backto the artists.

he banning of George Orwell's 1984 by many school boards in the United States during the fifties and sixties is ironicgiven its content.

The story presents a dystopian society where all freedom of speech and freedom of thought are suppressed by an autocratic government headed

by Big Brother, the supposed saviour of society.

Winstonsmith, the hero of the story works in the Ministry ofTruth which is responsible for changing any printed material to reflect the everchanging 'truth' as reported by the government. The rest of society must incorporate this into their memory in what is called doublethink. The book has been banned for reasons ranging from sexual explicimess to the political ideology it implies. Demonstrating exactly the kind of ignorance that could lead to the future the book

portrays, many proponents of banning the book cited it as a glorification of communism. Despite itsgenera1reputation as aclassicalready by 1966, the book was only present in 43 per cent of American school libraries.

irst published in 1939, two days after the start of WWII, Johnny Got His Gun is a graphic and very effective account of a young man Joe, who goes off to war and comes back horrendously maimed.

He leaves for war due to a vague and unarticulated sense of patriotism created through the manipulation of the wartime propaganda of his government. During his service, Joe's legs, arms and face are blown off.

The entire narration revolves around Joe's thoughtsand memories as he laysmotionlessin a military hospital, unable to communicate with the outside world.

Originally banned during the war because of its pacifist message, author DaltonTrumbo resisted attempts to have the book reprinted because members of the American political right saw the book's value as political propaganda in support of total warfare. This occurred in the later days of the war when a peace W ~ I deal might have been negotiated.

The book's messageisanti-war. It dissolves many of the buzz words like freedom, liberty,. and honour, that are used to justify warfare.

Uncle Tom's Cabin

arriet Beecher Stowe's UncleTom's Cabin may be one of the most important slave novels in the history of racial tension in North America.

Stowe's strong conviction to anti-slavery ideologies shine through in her story as she chronicles the brutish social relationship between European settlers and African-American slaves in the 19th century.

The book tells the story of Tom, agentlehearted slave whose faith in God andgoodwill has positive influences on his European masters. Stowe paints Tom as a saviour in his own right because he saves the life of three women in the novel while preaching the good word of his Lord. His faith cannot save him, however, as he is beaten to death later in the story.

At the same time Stowe details Tom's decline, she tells another tale of a slave family escaping the clutches of the European slave trade to find safety in Canada. In contrast to Tom's dismal tale, the family flees North America to start a new life in Africa.

Stowe's inspirational story of perseverance and inhumanity touched the emotions of her readers, even the slave owners, which may have led to the reasons why the book was banned.

Even Abraham Lincoln gave Stowe tremendous credit by attributing Uncle Tom's Cabin as the reason "for starting this great Icivil]war."

Queer censorship T

he censorship of queer books and other media has long been a rallying point for the gay community. Courtsgenerally rule in favor of freedom of speech, but they forever face a tough "moral majorityn which tries to keep queer books out of schools, queer erotica out of book stores, and queer media off of the Internet.

The case of the LittleSisters Book and Art Emporium should be freshin the minds of Canadian queers. Little Sisters is a bookstore in Vancouver who had been entrenched in a 15year battle with Customs Canada.

The issue at stake were shipments of books blocked atthe border that were deemed obscene. On December 15,2000, the Supremecourt of Canada ruled that Customs was in faaunfairly classifyinggay erotica as obscene.

The Court reversed the burden of proof so that Customs has to demonstrate that abook is obscenerather than place the onus on the bookstore owner to prove it is not.

While the gay community celebrated the "victory," many felt the decision didn't go far enough because Customs still retains the right to seize books.

A second issue out of British Columbia also touches many nerves: the issue of gay books in schools. The SurreyDistrict School Board opposed

the purchase of three books, Asha's Mum's, Belinda's Bouquet and One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads, by one of its teachers. The Board felt the books were not appropriate for five and six-year olds.

It was ruled that parents should have the final say in the material available to their children at public school.

The BC Court of Appeal agreed initsSeptember 2000 decision.Itwas ruled that parents should have the final say in the material available to their children at public school. The decisionserveda blow to queer families. It also questioned the religious influencesat play in a public, secular education system.

As an aside: Thesurrey District School Board also created controversy when it decided to regulate Gay-Straight Alliances, popular in BC high schools.

According to the Surrey Board, parents must consent for their children to attend a GSA meeting. But parental consent is not required for any other afterschool activity.

The Boardalsosuggestsstudents See a counselor instead of attending the GSA. Of course, most queer students don't need counseling, they need peer support. Moreover, parental consent requires students to come out to their parents first.

Censorshipon the Internet usually focuses on hate sites, like the Westboro Baptist Church's site, www.g~dhatesfags.com. Many queer advocates would like to see sites like this removed from the Internet. Of course, this would create a double standard: free speech for queers, censorship for others.

While freedom of exoression and association are guaranteed in the Canadian Charter, our freedoms are not absolute like they are in the United States.

In Canada there ark countless instances where queer media is censored to satisfy people of "higher" sensibilities,even thoughasasociety, we have a lot more to gain by freedom of knowledge, good or bad.

More lease troubles My roommates and I moved into our apartment last September. Atthattime wesigned a one-year lease. We want to leave at the end of the winter term but our landlord says we are responsible for the apartrnentuntil August3 1. How can we break our lease?

A

When you signed your lease, you signed a contract. You are obligated to fulfill the terms of your contract until it expires. If you abandon your contract before it is completed, your landlordmay take legal action against you for the revenue (rent) that he has lost.

In the situation you described, there are two circumstances under which you may be able to terminate your lease. The first iswhen youand your landlord agree to end the tenancy at an early date.

If your landlord agrees to allow you to terminate early, make sure you get the agreement in writing and keep a copy of it for your records.

The agreement should include all of

the informationwhichidentifiesyour tenancy, i.e. the tenants' names, the landlord's name, the apartment number and street address, the lease term and the date it is being terminated.

The second circumstance requires transferring your lease to a new tenant. This is called an assignment and you need toget your landlord's approval before youassign. If your landlord disagrees with your choice of assignee or fails to respond within seven days of your request for approval, then you can end your lease.

To end vour lease in this situation you must give your landlord notice within 30 days of making your request and give 30 days notice of the date you wish to terminate. You might want to seek guidance from the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal or your Ombudsperson (phone numbers are listed below) before taking this step.

If you are unable to do either of the above, you may be able to sublet

your apartment to new tenants. This option also requires the landlord's approval and it will help you cover the costs of your lease. It does not end your contractual obligations.

You remain responsible for the rent, your sub-tenant's behaviour (i.e. damage, excessive noise) and all of the other obligations connectedwith your tenancy.

If you are unable to end your tenancy early, by agreement or by assignment, don't forget that you must still give your landlord your written notice of termination at least two months before the end of your lease. Failure to give this written notice may imply that you intend to continue your tenancy.

reating patients by day and saving the world by night no, it'snot Superman,butDr. Neil Arya, a family physicianin Waterloo.

Ona typical day, Dr. Aryamight be found working in the Universityof waterloo ~ealthClinic,inhis office, at the hospital visiting patients, or meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada on the National Defense System, a space-based weapons network that would protect the United States againstamissile attack.

Between his work at UW, the Grand River Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, and his family practice on Northfield Drive, ~ r , has developed a superhero's abilitytobeinseveralplaces at once. On top of his busy schedule, he squeezes in dozens of hours as the president of the Canadian PhysiciansforGlobalSurviva1 (PGS) and the national chapter of International Physicians Against Nuclear War (IPANW), which was awarded the 1985NobelPeace Prize.

In fact, Arya serves as the International Co-Vice President for the organization, travelling around the world.

Ididn'tmeet Aryain his capacity as peace activist, however. He is my family doctor. I go to see him when Iamsick. ButIarrangedtomeetArya to talk about the missile defense system in acommon room in the Grand River Hospital, the only place we could get together given his hectic schedule. He arrived late and explained that he was just stuck in an elevator. Evensuperheroes, itseems, have to slow down for some things, Arya is an East Indian of medium build, athletic, friendly and earnest. While he is committed to his work on the international stage, he loves being a family doctor here in Kitchener-Waterloo. "There is nothing I would rather be doing," hesaid.

The National ~ i s s i i eDefense (NMD) system, having recently received a boost with the election of George W. Bush, asaongsupporter, is the plan to create a protection device against nuclear weapons aimed at the United States.

The device will deflect nuclear missiles into the atmosphere, where they will detonate without harming the population. The trouble with this seemingly harmlessplanis that itwill likely encourage other nations to create new technology that will defeat the United States' defense systern. This poses the risk of increased

international tension and the start of a new arms race.

In addition, the NMD system violates the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, an agreement between theunitedstates and theUSSR that came into force in 1972. While defenders of the missile defense system argue that the ABM Treaty has been void since the dissolutionof the USSR,if Russiadisagrees,it islikelyto respond by using the same argument to nullify other international aeaties.

TheNationalPost cited Russian President Vladimir Putin in December, predictingthat the defenseshield

be paid out by American taxpayers, Arya pointed out that, "Canada will have some costs" directly associated with the $50 billion project. Most Canadians would be concerned if they knew that.

Along with working to prevent the NMD system from coming into effea,Arya's organization,Physicians for Global Survival (PGS),has many other projectson thego. In the 1980s, nuclear issues were most important to PGS and the international group, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. Since then, the physicians have widened their focus. In the 1990s, the group did a lot of work around the Gulf War, the ensuingsanctionsag~na haq, which have cost thousands lives, and around the conflict over Kosovo. They also participated in the International Campaign to Ban Land Mines, a campaign which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997.

"With grievantes and conflict, we need to engage in non-violent resistance,"Aryasaid.

"Is amilitary response agood way to deal with things when it results in so many violations of human rights?"

PGS today is still speaking to governments, targeting the people who make decisions. It lobbies the Minister of National Defense, the Minister ofForeign Affairs andother key figures.

Andso Aryais constantly on the go, attending conferencesand meeting with dignitaries in every corner of the country and the world. Just recently he met with the MPs of the Liberal Party of Canada to discuss actionagainstnuclearweapons.Arya also attended a Round Table about NATO's nuclear policy and its relation to the NMD. Besides meeting with people, PGS does alot of paperwork. Members send letters. write ameals and produce educational materials for publicity. In addition to their publicityandinformationcampaigns,members of PGSspeakpubliclytogrou~s, schools and medical students.

In the next couple of weeks, PGS will be starting a campaign for young people called "Bombs Away.

Don't Blow It!" Arya suggested that students can get involved by writing letterstogovernments,amongother things. The main thing students will realize, he said, is "You can make a difference."

'You will meet road blocks, but if you keep on pushing, mountains

Between his work at UW, the Grand River Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, and his family practice on Northfield Drive, Dr. Arya has developed a superhero's ability to be in several places at once. would lead to the "total collapse of the international security system."

Russianofficialshavestatedthat any amendments to the ABM Treaty could undo 20 years of arms control efforts, and have threatened a new arms race if the US builds the NMD system. In his speech to a group of Canadian business leaders, Putin added that, "Modifying the ABM treaty will set back the cause of peace on our planet."

Aryasees theNMD as a threat to the safety of the world. By violating the ABM treaty, it encourages all sides to "increasetheir offensivestrategies." Ironically then, the system "will act in a way that isn't defensive at all," he added.

"I don't think it's even going to work," he said. "It's onlygoing to put money into the pockets of military contractors." ' While most of that money will

will move," he added.

Another issue important to the group, and especially to Arya, is gun control both at the local andinternational level.

Arya cited a recent study that showed that the number of deaths, whether due to various types of violence or suicides, has been linked to the number of weapons that exist in any given country. Another study shows that most deaths in war today are.the result of "small arms fire."

Duty calls. Arya is due backin his office to see patients. After work, he will return home to do some paper

work for PGS and watch a little TV. On another day, his evening may consist of meeting with MPs, ministers, or with fellow peace activists.

It appears thatAryaisconstantly on the move,.but hedoesn'tconsider himself to be that busy. Instead, he said he has learned to keep a balance in life, mixing work, peace activism, socializing with friends and crosscountry skiing. "Keeping my own mental health and stability is important," he said.

twas along, brutal and emotionally wracking roller coaster that the fans of both the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University had to endure lastweekinthe OUA'sFar West divisionalsemifinal.

Tony Martindale and Dave Cressman, coaches for the Waterloo and Laurier ice hockey squads, prepared their men for the war, and oh, what a war. Vital to the battle were goaltenders Chad Marshall of the Golden Hawksand Jake McCracken of the Warriors.

The first game of this epicseries tookplace onFebruary21 at Columbia Icefields. Waterloo began the game quite well, pressuring the Golden Hawksto no end.

Marshall, a junior goaltender for the Golden Hawks, did his best to keep Waterloo off the scoreboard despite the fact that Laurier provided almost no defence.

But, in the eighth minute, Mike Nixon capitalized off Rob Maric's initial shot and went down below Marshall to give Waterloo the lead.

Sixminuteslater, Mike Johnson increased the lead& for McCracken, he only faced seven shots and most of them were rather mundane.

In the second period, however, Waterloo had let up on the offensive

Thewarrior men kickedLaurierlsass indoubleovertime. and allowed Laurier to come back into the game.

The first indicator of trouble came 53 seconds into the period when Al Stewart deflected Andrew Hamilton'sshotrightintothe backof the Warrior net.

The Warriors, obviously unfazed by this suddendevelopment, continued to assault the Golden Hawks. But despite the best effortsof Nixon, Jay Henry and Maric, Waterloo wasn't able to fool Marshall for two periods.

However, the fans of the War-

riors became frightened when Andrew Lumb lifted the puck over McCracken's shoulder to tie the game up at two.

After a scoreless third period whichsawLaurier rackup the shots, the game went into overtime. Once again, the Golden Hawks provided no relief for the rookie goalie from Waterloo, but McCracken was there tostop the GoldenHawks. Finally, at the 13th minute of overtime, Brett Turner went upstairs on Marshall to give Waterloo the 3-2 victory.

Game two was held on Febru-

ary 23, this time at Clarica Arena.

While Laurier had plenty of chances in the first to score on McCracken, the young goalie held fast, at least for thefirstperiod.This wasaverygood thing, for Waterloo had trouble even penetrating Laurier's stingy defence.

At the end of the first it was tied at zero.

The second period belonged to the Golden Hawks. Laurier finally got lucky in the third minute when Jason Bullock went top shelf on an unsuspecting McCracken. Six minutes later, Steve French doubled

Laurier's lead when he took advantage of a Warrior turnover and shot the puck in the lower right corner.

Waterloo did manage to pull within one goalwhen MarkRobson's shot scraped the pads of Marshall before crossing the goal line.

In the third, Waterloo pulledup their stockings. With 1:20 expired in the period, Turner collected the first of two goals by utilizing a lucky bounce.

Then, with five minutes and43 seconds left in regulation, Turner faked a right side shot and went the other way on Marshall to give Waterloo the lead. Unfortunately, that lead lasted for less than two minutes before Ballantyne equalized.This goal forced another overtime period.

The teamofAllison Salter, Kim Neumayer, Debbie Buhlers and Jill Patterson had a 15 second PB which moves them into second place in the CIAU rankings, 0.24 seconds behind first place Saskatchewan.

The women's race was followed by an inspirational men's race where captain Stephen Drew, rookie Alastair Lawrenceandveterans Pierre Labreque and Chris Row all ran LTPBs. As the sixth man, Row demonstrated the Warriors' depth of talent, running the race of his life.

ell, it's down to the final eight in theUEFACup, thelessprestigious but still iniportant cup that European football has to offer. If anything, it IS proving that football clubs from Spainare kicking the balls of other European nations hands down.

Four teams from this fair land of the fictional Don Quixote have reached the quarter-finals and much to the chagrin of yours truly, there is not a home and home series that features a Spanish versus non-Spanishside.Butthesefour matchesshould provide some quality entertainment.

The first of two Spanish quarter-final matches is between Rayo Vallecano and CD Alavks, two teams that have shockedUEFA.Both teams met success in the early round of the cup and are currently tied for seventh in La Primera. The routes taken by these teams in reaching thisstage, however, are different.

While Alavks had to deal with tough teams like Rosenborg BK and Internazionale Milano FC, the most challengingteamvallecano hasdealt with was FC Girondins de Bordeaux.

This matchwill beaninteresting contest between prolificscorers like Juan Antonio Bola and Gerhard Porschner, Vallecano against Ivan Tomicand Javier Morenovarela for Alav2s.

The goaltendingmatchbetween Horagio Martin Herrera of Alavts and Rayo Vallecano's Kasey Keller should be very intriguing, but expect the Yankee goalie to win out and watch the offensivestyle of Vallecano overcome their brethren.

The other all Spanish match is between the famed team FC Barcelona and lesser known Celta de Vigo.

FC Barcelona, who were eliminated in the first round robin of the Champions League, have had no easy matches with the possible exception of AEKAthens.

Celta de Vigo, meanwhile, came all the way from the Intertoto cup just to reach this stage. In La Primera, Barcelona is amongst the giants fighting for the lead while Celtade Vigo is lingeringnear the bottom ofthe table.

With the likes of Patrick Kluivert, Frank DeBoer and Marc Overmars, the depth of Barcelona is overwhelming. Celta de Viga will counter with Pablo Gonzilez CouAago, Valeri Karpin and Tomas Alberto Hervis Girdn, but the Catalans will be too much for this club.

The best match, however, will be between Erste FC Kaiserslautern and PSV Eindhoven, two giants from the Bundesliga and Eresdivision respectively.

While Kaiserslautern has started in the UEFA Cup and never looked back, beating the likes of Rangers FC and SK Slavia Praha, PSV Eindhoven was bounced from the Champions Cup and took their anger out on FC POAK Thessaloniki and AC Parma.

Both clubs are doing well domestically and this should be a great set of legs.

PSV Eindhoven has the strength of players like ChrisVanDer Weerden, Robert Fuchs, Claudio de Oliveira Pereira and Ernest Faber, while goaltender Ivica Kralj will keep this Dutch side in the game.

Kaiserslautern, meanwhile, will

relyon Petr Gabriel, MiroslavKlose, Axel Roos and VratislavLokvencto put the German through.

Goaltender Georg Kochwill be the go toman for Kaiserslautern. Overall, this matchshouldgo to the Germans, who have a bit more in the way of depth than the Dutch side.

Finally, FC Porto and Liverpool FC will be gemngit onin what might be called a security nightmare. Both Liverpool and Porto are quality clubs that can provide a fewsurprises.

In the last round, the famed club from England managed to defeat AS Roma, while Porto ended up in the UEFA Cup after losing to RSC Anderlecht in the first round of the Champions League. Porto had been FC Nantes Atlantique in the round of 16, their toughest challenge so far.

Expect some good battles between Jesus Renivaldo Pereira, Carlos Alberto Oliveira Secretkio andLubomir Drulovicof Porto and Michael Owen,Gary McAUister and Christian Ziege. It should be rather close, butthe edge will definitelygo to Liverpool.

These four matches will definitely bequiteinteresting, especially the all Spanish duels. These eight teams have proven themselvesquite capable and it will be a great pleasure to go to the bar with a pint to watch the best of the rest battleit out for the UEFA Cup. Watch for a future issue in the summer when I preview the grand final of the UEFA Cup, which will take place on May 16.

OUA championships,veteran 600m runner, Labreque did what he came out to do, running the race of his life to capture the bronze medal.

Labreque sits at 13th spot in the CIAU rankings, only 0.02 seconds out of a berth at the national championships.

Atthe same distance,Paul Monte also ran a LTPB while women's captain Salter and veteran GinaJackson ran SPBs. In the pentathlon, Heemskerk and Angie Player finished third and seventh respectively with Player throwing a LTPB in the shot put.

Rookie Joe Brown finished seventh in a strong field of pentathletes.

In the 60m dash, the women's race was all Waterloo with sprinters Carrington, Ross and Brazier making the final.

Carrington cruised to a first place finish in a time of 7.65 and heads into Nationals with a third place ranking. Ross finished sixth while Brazier followed in seventh.

The story of the meetwas in the men's and women's 300m. Running

out of the Friday night section, captain Jason Dockendorff put it all on the line for his teammates by running a LTPB of 1.5 seconds. In the same race, up and coming rookie Paul Modte also ran to a LTPB. The following day, veteran Paul Gill ran to aseventh place finish. Gill goes toSherbrookewitha 12thplace ranking.

On the women's side, lightening fast Carrington secured the silver medal with a LTPB run of 39.81 seconds,to move her into the bronze medal position at the CIAUchampionships. The 1000m race saw veteran Shauna Ellis run to a SPB and Neumayer crank out a fifth place finish.

Both the men's and women's 4x400m relay teams ran to fourth place finishes inagroup of highcalibre runners.

The women's team of Carrington, Ross, Salter and Heemskerk all had SPBs and are rankedin 12th spot in the CIAU. The men's team ofAdrianBlair, Gill,Neal Roberts and Labreque were in tight with the lead packuntil confusionat the exchange.

These men have some unfinished business to attend to at the upcoming nationals where they are ranked in 10th spot.

In the overall team competition, the Warriors finished fourth in the women's competition with 97 points, one point behind U of T, while the men finished seventh.

Head Coach, Brent McFarlane spoke of an "outstanding team effort to pull off a performance like this against schoolswho ha*e much more track and field resources than UW. The leadership of key team players, captains Allison Salter, Alison Brazier, JasonDockendorffandStephen Drew helped to achieve successful results. With36 PBsat the OUAs, our seasontotal now stands at 177. With 20 athletes heading to the CIS, our largestteam yet, I expect this number to change."

Sevenminutes after Murphy'sgoal,Henry scored with a cracker of ashot. Mariccontributed agoal two minutes later to give Waterloo a three goal advantage. French managed to pull one back for the Golden Hawks, but the Warriors had to feelgoodwhen the first period ended, for they still had a two goal lead.

Mistakes plagued Waterloo in the second andresultedinnear catastrophe for the men in black and gold.

Having denied Laurier a chance to score on a one minute two-man advantage should have bolstered the confidence of Waterloo fans, but the wheels began to fall apart in the seventh minute when Daryl Moor profited off a Waterloo turnover in front of the net.

The real panic began, however, when Laurier was amanshort. Waterloo had tried to mount an offence after the Golden Hawks had cleared the puck, but Ambrosio tooka hold of the black biscuit and scored on the breakaway.

Near the end of the period, Waterloo once again turned the puck over at a very dangerous spot, but McCracken was right there

to deny Sean Scott a goal.

The third period proved to be a real barnburner. Both Waterloo and Laurier had excellent shots in their attempts to stop a third overtime game and seize a spot into the divisional final. The Warriors played some very smart hockey and did not allow the Golden Hawks to capitalizeon mistakes.

The turning point of the game occurred with nine minutes and 10 seconds left in the game, when Laurier was called for too many men on the ice.

Thanks to this ridiculouspenalty, Turner scored on Marshall to earn the winning goal.

Henry scored an empty net goal with 10 seconds remaining to add iodine to Laurier's wounds as the Warriors grilled the Golden Hawks 5 3 .

y the time you read this, the women's basketball team's fate will have been decided. The Warriors faced off with the Brock Badgers in the first round of the playoffs last Saturday, February 25.

With the spectre of a disastrous game againstMcMaster the previous weekstillfresh ~ntheir minds, the Warriors were in awin-orelse situation.

The Warriors started off strong, leaping out to a six-point lead in the early going and stopping the Badgers cold with strong defence. After an initial burst of inefficiency, however, the Badgers rallied. Acouple of bad passes and some ~ o oshot r selection put Waterloo on the wrong end of a six point lead at halftime, but the Warriors didn't lose hope.

"At halftime we said that the kids had played well, that the intensity was there that we didn't feel was there in the game before with Mac," said head coach, Tom O'Brien.

The Warriors came out on fire, going - shot for shotwith the Badgers and capitalizing on some sloppy ball handling by the Badgers guards.

With under 30 seconds left in the game and Waterloo up by four, Warriors co-captain Leslie Mitchell stole the ball and ended

any comeback hopes for Brock by dribblin out the clock.

The Warriors will have by now faced th firstplace Guelph Gryphons inthe OUA We: semifinals onThursday night; unfortunate11 resultswere unavailable at mess time. Wate~ loo has experienced a series of near-missc against the Gryphons. "[Last game] was a close one," saj Mitchell of their last meeting with Guelph i which the Warriors came out 12-point loserf "The score didn't reflect that, but i t wr: close." O'Brien concurs. "Last time we ha some open looks for threes from Mitchell an [Kristen] Eisner where we could have tied or gotten closer. I think if we play our gam and stay focused we should be okay."

If Waterloo manages to overcome th Gryphs they will probably face McMaster i the finals, a team which has been a source c trouble for the Warriors lately. The Marauc ers handed the Warriors a 20 point-pl~ drubbing in their final regular season gamc something that isn't soon forgotten by an team.

The Warriors have a plan. "We just hav to handle their pressure better. It's not justth traps but once youget into their end youstal forcing things and doingthings that youno~ mally wouldn'tdo. I think whenever youpla Mac that's the key," said O'Brien.

Although drawing influences and themes from the sci-fi fantastical B-movie plots,The Band fromPlanet Xis surprisinglycommitted to keeping their music real with a raw edge.

They've recorded all their albums on a lo-fi four-track (which amounts to a complicated tape recorder). This includes their latest release, The BandHas Landed.. .the InuasionBegins, a 16-trackdiscwhich is available through their Web site.

The trio had previously released one CD each as The Pink Flamingos and The Hasselhoffs.

Cape Breton bad boy is a soft cookie NICOLE FAwCETTE Imprint staff

I

fAshley MacIsaac could cookanything for the rest of his life, itwould be cakes. "Right from the box," MacIsaac beams. "I like making stews and soups and1can cook all types of stuff likethat, butl'msureif Ihadmy choice of cooking at anytime, something that I didn't have to cleanup,if all ofasudden youmagically finish it was out of the oven you had no dirty dishes: I'd make cakes."

Has this dancing fiddler traded his kilt in for a Martha Stewart apron? Probably not, MarthaStewart has yetto try cookingwithpot.

"I've tried to make a spaghetti sauce and it didn't taste toogood 'cause Iput too muchin it. It was really gritty, almost grassy tasting. I've tasted lots of brownies made by other people and you can't usually taste the pot in them."

This seemedalmost normal coming from aman who's history consistsof acocaine addiction, sex with a 16-year-old boy, and a New Year's Eve that included MacIsaac screaming racial slurs atthe audience for 20 minutes while onstage.

So what does MacIsaac do when he's not eating, cooking or screaming? Touring and p,romotinghimself and his latest album,Helter Celtic, which will lead him to Ontario, and more specificallyWaterloo.

The album. released in November 1999. was producedin only two days, but took weeks of preparation. "I have lovely compositions on it and1have newtunes that Ilearntparticularly for thatproject,somestuff that's actually famil-

iar to other fiddle players or people that like fiddle music across the whole continent and some other places too. So thatwas fun,todo the all standards of fiddle tunes," said MacIsaac.

When asked if he felt like a revolutionary for modern Celtic music, MacIsaac answered no, that he was "just eating spaghetti like everybody else." Whichwas true: he was talking with his mouth full over the phone.

Known for his talent to mix traditional fiddle music with contemporary sounds, MacIsaac's influences currently range from country music, to'70s dancetoBruce Guthrow and even Rita MacNeil.

"I find most music easy to swallow," he says. For instance, he said that the first choices in his CD player right now are a record he did with another fiddle musician, anda symphony version of The Doors.

When asked what makes MacIsaac the "fiddleslut" he has referred to himself as, he answered: "One who does a lot of things. I alwayslookedatit in the pluralsenseasindoing alot, rather than the derogatory . sense of it iust referring it to a particular person and their actions. It's the number of things you can involve yourself with and I like to not leave any real doors closed."

This is also true with MacIsaac's trademark ability to dance and jig almost furiously while playing his songs, a characteristic that has left audience members hypnotized.

"It'snot as complicatedasdriving aracek, but I'm not Dale Earnhardt," MacIsaaccracks.

"I would say its from being young and seeing other people do it that I first attempted it. . . I

Ashley Maclsaacsayshe'llbeinteractivewithfanswnheplaysatUW. had heard of other people and I had seen one particular guy do it, and that guy was actually mentally handicapped, and I always liked his music and thought his dancing was cool, so that's probably why I did it first."

The list of distinguishing featuresgoes on with MacIsaac's previous sexual behaviour, whichincludedthe aforementioned sex with a 16-year-old boy, expressing his fondness for urinating on partners and exposinghis genitals on the Conan O'Brien show.

MacIsaac would not comment on his current sexual affairs except to say that he was in a committed relationship.

"I have a partner and now that I'm with somebody full-time it's a different thing than when you're not with a person. And I don't think I'll never not be with this person, I'm married to my partner for life," he said.

Bared genitals are probably not on the menu for the noon show MacIsaac will be serving up here at UW. Instead MacIssacsaidhe wants to feel like he's in a talk show, meaning he wants to talk about his pieces and answer any audience questions.

'You try to connect almost individually with [people] ~. . .in a setting - like that. In a theatre forashortperiodof time I'mgoingtony toget asmuchattention andgive back as much as I can

in that short show," he said.

MacIssac is also looking forward to being part of the university atmosphere. "Iget to see people that just really want to take a break from whatever they're studying. And that's sort of cool, because they're just sitting there listening to something different that is just not their regular day.. .I hope they're ready forconversation and music," he says. He also said that those with instruments may be picked to play on stage with MacIsaac himself and all those who love to dance are welcome.

As for what Ashley MacIsaac will have for lunch that day, all remains a mystery. But please, leave all brownies at the door.
