Engineering professor writes book on spiritualitv Greg Macdougall SPECIAL TO IMPRINT
On Wednesday, May 22, Professor Moharncd Elmasry introduced his new book to the UW' campus. Although his spccialty is microchip design, as president of the Canadian Islamic Congress he is certainly a scholar of rcligon and spirituality as d l . He's also the owner of the term "spiritual fitness" after alawyer friend of his commented that he'd never heard the tcrm andadvisedtheprofessor to get a trademark. The book, SpiritlAaFitnessForLife, is based on the idea of looking at spirituality in the same manner as physicalhealth.Elmasrycommented that 30 years ago, therewas almostno general consciousness ofphysical fitness,likeningthat to the awareness of peoplc today towards their spiritual health. The toughest part of writing the book was figuring out how to structure sucha complicated topic, according to Elmasry. .Ipin'ttlaL Fitness was seven years in the making and comes out~ofthe readmgof some 500 to 600 books on spirituality and religion. In order to enhance the delivery of the ideas, he quoted many different spiritual teachers suchasRumi,N-Ghaz& SaintAugustine and Caroline Myss, as
Professor MohamedElmasryintroduceshis new book. well as different core scriptures. The book is divided into answering four central questions regarding spiritual fitness:what it isandwhy,its benefits, how it can be achieved, and how it can be measured. Elmasry found it important to take his reflections on spirituality and share them with others instead of keeping them private: he believes that spiritual fitncss is "a door I can open for many people."

Ehrhardt herself was "a b ~ surt pnsed" when Roter offered to nomnate her for the award. "I was surpr~sedhe thought I would even quallfy." CCPE's communicanons officer Terrance Davis &agrees. According to h m , "it's fair to say that Sara has set quite a high benchmark - in fact, a very high benchmark" for futureGold Medal Student Awards. InEhrhardt's eyes, F.WD is inlargc part about giving students the opportunity to pursue projects with real applications to hclp others. Ehrhardt hopes that the added publicity from herwinning the award dspark an interest in F.WR and the organization's activities fromboth the students and the professional engneers. This summer, Ehrhardt will continue working for EWB. In fact, sheis the only studcnt to have been voted into the organirntion'sboard ofdxectors and d be serving a three-year term.

Double cohort coming in fall 2003 Melissa Graham IMPRINTSTAFF--
UW administratorsdo not expect students to experience a housing shortage in fall 2003 when the doublc cohort hits. As the Daily Bdetin reportedon May 16,Bud Walker, hrector of business operations, is not anticipating a need for additional offcampus housing beyond what is currently avadablc. Walkcr told thc Da+ Bull& that part ofthereason UWwas notexpecting housing problems in 2003 was bccause students who startedin 1999 d l be graduatingin A p d 2003. Bob Truman, director of institutional analysis and planning, helped clarify just how thls works. "Onc of the contributing factors towards the demand not being so h g h is that we've already accommodated those4,600 studcnts. And so as they leave the system there has been fewer year-one students behnd thcm
so that the total university enrolment doesn't keep going up." In fall 1999, there were almost 4,600 first-year students;in fall2000it dropped to 4,160 before slowly starting on its way back up. Not until fall 2002 wdl first-year enrolment be expcctcd to cxcccd thccnrolmcnt in fall 1999. UW expects to guarantee housing to all first-year students on campus who acceptbefore acut-off date,which will also decrease the demand on offcampus housing in the short term. There are 4,000 spaces available. Although the graduating class of 2003-4 may not take all the pressure off, W is also in the early stages of considering alternative enrolment or start dates. Accordingto registrarI<enLavigne, "We are looking at alternative entry points to take the pressure off the fall term with a view to possibly starting some programs with no specific date in mind, possibly having students

Actual 1999 Actual 2000 Actual 2001 Target 2002 Projected 2003 startin the springorwinter tcrmwould spread the load out, particularly on class sizes, but also on residence. So one possibility to cope with the surge in fall 2003, if we have some highly qual~fiedpeoplewho otherwise would bc admissible if wc had space, thc possibility has been tossed about that
we would offer them alternative a d mission in January 2004." According to Walker, the bigissue whcnitcomcs to housingis agrowing need for accommodations that are geared to students with families. l t is estimated that nearly a quarter of the 700 new grad students expected this
fallwill need farmly accommodation. Walker has said that UW is loolung at budding 150 to 250 townhouses for families that might be available starting sometime in 2004, although no decisions have beenmade. rngraharn@irnprint.uwaterloo.ca

Two accountancy graduate diploma programs approved by Scnatc,one in husincss information technology and the other in information system assurance, are designed to be full cost recovery programs, specializations specific to accounting, that may be taken through full or part-time study. Eight new graduate courses in ac cvuntancy wdl be used in the reqwrements of the ncw diploma programs. A course-work Master's program has been approved for the school of plannmg, to be developed alongwth the current thesis Master's program ThenewprogamdofferaMaster's degree ~napphed environmental science (nlAES) w t h a minimum requirement of one Master's research paper and sevengraduatecourses.Ross Newkirk, dircctor of the school of planning, explained to Senate the reasons a second Master's program is dcsirablc.

In fact,thereis an advanced slullrequirementinareaslike geographic informauon systems and plan dcvclopmcntplanmgwhere you need hettergroundmginlaw, finance and urban deslgn.

And we believe that this highly focussed, intense, year-based graduate programwillredly do us well both in our profession and our position in Canada." Senate also approved a change to the description of the Examining Board for adoctoral thcsis to clarify thc requirements for appointment.
Reports on housing, distanceeducation and the library Scnatc hcard rcports on distancc education and housingissues, as well as a report from the university librarian. Director of distanceand continuing education Don Kasta reported that full-time students on campus rcprcscnt a third of the total enrolment andvirtuallyall of the growth in enrolmentin &stance educationin the last four years. The number of oncampus students in thelast four pears enrolledin &stance education has incrcascd by 278perccnt. Director of business operations Bud Walker discussed alternative entry points for first-ycar studcnts in January 2004, the possibility of constructingtownhouses on North Campus for student f d e s and that the guaranteed offer of housing to firstyear students d be met this fall. He also said he believes that upperyear students should be able to find housing, although they may not be
satisfied: "Thereis an adequate quantity of studcnthousing-on-campus student housing and off-campus student housing." However, he noted that after recentlyinspectingwhatwas available to students, he discovered "thereis someprettybad housingout there. I find that some ofit thatis rated rather hghly, I don't think any of us would want to stay there and I don't think we would want any of our students or children to stay there. I think that the increase in the quantity of student housing is good because it forces the poorer stuff off the market."

In 1947,the United Nations, hoping to end the conflict in the Middle E,ast, proposed to partition the British mandate of Palestine into ajewish and an Arab statc, withJerusalem as an internat~onal city The plan would have p e n each side the tern ton. in whlch thev constitutcd a malonty The Jews and thc nanons of the world, accepted the proposal while the Arabs rcjcctcd it and called a "Jlhad" (holy struggle) w t h the purpose of d e s t r o p g Israel. The Arabs refused to accept a democraac non-lslamc state in the Wddle East, regardless of the Jemsh people's historic and religious ties to thc land. This, in spite of the fact that while the Jewish peoplc have had an independent state in Israel several times throughout history, there has never been an Independent Arab Palestiman state. When Israel declared independence in accordance w t h UN resoluuon 181, thc Arab m e s of Egypt, Jordan, Syna,IraqandLebanon,mth financlal support from Saudt Arabia, Invaded the Jewsh state. After the war, the Arab world refused to negonate wlth Israel to resolve the confltct and thc refugee cnvs, which was a dtrect result of thelr aggression. They m a n t m e d that thc only soluuon to the confltct was the e h n a non of the Jewsh statc In 1967, Egypt, Jordan and Syna declared war on Israel, once again openly admitting their genocidal intentions toward the Jewish state. Israel managed defend itself, gaining the West Rank from Jordan, Gaaa from Egypt and thc Golan Heights from Svria. Tsracl offered to return tcrritor) for peace, but the Arab leaders, assctnblcd in I(hartoum, Sudan said, "No negotiation with Israel, no recognition of Israel
and no peace with Israel." Israel was forced to continue occupying the newly acquired territory since the Arab world refused to recognize its right to exist. This is the reason for Israel's 34-year occupation of the Wcst Bank and Gaza. UN resolutions specify that recognition by the Arab world of Israel's right to self determination and existence in safe and secure borders is a prerequisite for any lsraeli withdrawal. Tn 1973, Egypt and Syria attackcd Israelon the holiest day of the Jewish calendar,YomI(ippur. Although the cntire nation was observing a 25hour fast, Israel managed to fend off the assault despite heavy losses. In the summer of 2000, at the Camp David talks, Israel offered 95 per cent of the territory in dtspute to create a Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel offered to dismantle scttlcments, compensate Palestinian refugees, and share the Temple Mount. As they did before, the Palestinians and the Arab world rejected a negotiated conipromise and declared another"ho1ywar": the A1 AskaIntifada. PalestinianTV and religious leaders encouraged children to become "holy martyrs" and attack Israel. Palestinian demands include 100 per cent of the territory and full control of the Temple Momt, whichincludes the holiest site in Judaism. While they demand the expulsion of all Jews from a Palestinian state they also want four d o n Palestinian refugees to movc into Israel proper and not into the future Palestinian state. This essentially means creating a Jew-free Palestinian state in Gaza and the Wcst Bank, and turning Israel into a Palestinian statc as well. Tt appears that thcPalcstinian position has not changed since 1948, and thcy have yet to r e c o p z e Israel's right to cxist and accept that both sides havc legitimate claims to the territon~. X'hat the Palestinians arc dcmancting is the same thing they could not accomplish throughwar: thc dcstruction of the democrauc state of Israel.

A disappointing journey SPECULATIONS I arnvcd at thc Univcrsltv of Waterloo in 1997, w t h a set of brand new notebooks and a box full of sharpened penclls, eager to begn what T caw then as the first step of my higher educauon Free from the reins of hlgh school, lured in by glossy brochures and exclung promises, I embarked on perhaps t h longest ~ and most dtsappointmg journey of my hfe I'd never thought about it in thosc concrete terms, but as convocanon harkens and my relauves plan a celebmuon, I am real~nngthat I am burnt out and bitter about the quahtv of the educauon I have reccwed I came here to learn the secrets of the urnverse, five years later I feel l&e I'm being pushed out the door w t h httle more under my belt than that whch I have etched out on my own. Physlcs 1s a many faceted pursult, not the least of whlch are the phdosophcal and ex~stennal aspccts My professors, many of
who were ridtng the wave of their research untd retirement, apparently mewed teaching as a task equivalent to ffing out paperwork and appeared to have reahzed that it's much castcr to program machines than it is to teach phdosophy. I learned morc of my coursc matenal from textbooks than from my professors. Weekly assignments checked my progress, not in an encouraging way, but harshly, mahng me feel that, should 1 have mssed something, ~t'sa result of my own Inadequacy 1 dtdn't find out untd my sccond year how small my program was and the difficulues that came along with bemg one of a few students m a program confhcnng core courses, inexpenenced advisors and a curriculum that changed halfway through my s h d e s as courses in other programs were adjusted to meet their needs but left me behnd, tahng a bizarre mishmash of courses that would hardly constitute a foundanon m chemcal phyacs. I was never told that all of those Interest Ing courses m the calendar were for people with more flexible schedules than my own. If I'd rcalizcd that my pursuit of physics would cost me an opportunlty to learn history and literature, 1 may have reconsidered. If I'd
realized that, unlike the photos in the glossy brochures indicated, I'd bc working in badly undcr-fundcd labs, using decades-old equipment, I may have reconsidered. If I'd realized the importance of having female role models, I may have reconsidered. Things, I am told, are improving. Younger, perhaps more enthusiastic, professors are being hired to rcplacc thosc who havc retired. More emphasis is being placed on understanhng. And my experience wasn't all bad - that is to say, my overall experience was very positive, but my educational experience leaves me wondering whether I will ever have an interest in sciences again. As a whole, though, I think wc nccd to rcconsider the aims of higher education. In t h s increasingly technologcal world, we must breed scicntists, not just mgmeers; thinkers, not just doers. I started out very much determined to be a thinker, but somewhere along the way, the systcm got to mi. While I very much hope that there are others who managed to see through the discomforts of the system, thc fatc of my graduating class, very few of whom seem set to pursue physics further afield, doesn't g v e me great reassurance.

Feds embarrassed .by Watpaign To the editor, In her May 17 letter, Brenda Slomka referred to the notton of the Great Hallexpancltng~ntotheRombshelter as a "rumour" Both Yaacov Iland and Wke I<crngan spoke pubhcly about thls noaon It was not a rumour. Whcn I intermewed Yaacov on October 23, 2001 for a uwstudent org story on the Great Hall expansion he sad, "The federauon has been want mg to renovate the Bombcr for a whde but has wtheld doing so because lt docsn't make sense to rcnovate it and have an expanslon that breaks part of your renovauons." In the last issue of Impnnt Brenda wrote, "Ourorgaruzaaon peds] wa5 not talkmg about our renovauons " It sure sounded to me k e he was tallung about them Also, on March 13,2002, before the Fcds general meeting, M ~ k e I<erngan- then VICC-PresidentStudent Issues-elect - sad to mc and one other person, "that wall [lndcatmg the south, Bomber, wall of the Great Hall] d l move out lnto thc Rombshelter and thc Bombshelter wdl move further out." T h s also sounded to me like talk of the Bombshelter expanding Yaacov beheved that the Bombshelter would expand, and I spread thls msmformauon by beheving hun and reporung what he s a d Ahke also beheved that the Bombshelter would expand Did Brenda, as thc t h d student member of the Watpagn comnxttec, think othenvlsei Or is she saylng otherwse now to try to save face? Cathanne 5cott also conmbuted to thts nouon by rcfernng to the poss~bhtyof expanding into thc Bombshelter In the joint wws-Impnnt intermew where Slomka, lland, Kerngan, Ann Simpson and Judy
hfcCrae were present The Watpagn proposal includes an area of cxpanwm of the 51.C about equal to the area of the add1 uonal floor Any expanston of the Great Hall was never Intended to lnclude buildmg expanslon but per haps renovation of exlsung space The problems are that the Watpagn plans were not propcrly developed nor were they undcrstood by the student representanves Now, embarrassed by their mtstakes, Feds are trying to write lt off as mscornmunicauon rather than neghgence

behind only one of the fighters Ah. He was the older, more estabhshed lighter, and Foreman was the younger, stronger, growng star. But that dldn't have much to do w t h ~ t . . Ah was known by all thesc Africans for belng a person, not a fighter; for his role in p r o t e s ~ g the acaons of the Amcncan government In V~etnam;for being jailed for refusing to serve in the army; for h s consciousness of the true situation in America and his wllingness to talk about ~ tfor ; the role he played in the nation of Islam.

His pet dog, which he had on a leash as he stepped off the plane into Zaire, was a German Shepherd, the same type of animal the Belgians had used to keep the Africans in check.

What does it take to be successful?
G8: two days of action Continued from page 9
FINDIN6 BALANCE We wcre all taught from a young age to make somethmg of our hves. My teachers, parents and television told me that bemg successful meant doing somethmg huge hke maktng a ton of money, wnung a famous book, or saving an mpovenshed country It was simple, all I had to do was become famous hkc Albert Lj,tnste~nor Muhammad Ah. It wasn't u n d a few years ago, whde worktng in a women's sheltcr in Toronto, that I began to reassess my values on what it truly means to hve a successful hfe. In those women I saw true heroism w t h the purest mtcnttons. Here wcrc women who gave up cverythmg they had to protect thelr chtldren and well-bemng. They never became famous celebnues -they were lust rasing thew children - but to me they deserved all the fame in the world.
There is somethmg about motherhood from which wc all must learn. We often thmk of heroes as people who accomphsh exttaordmary feats wluch earn them fame Look mstead at mothers. Thnk about when your mother woke up at latc hours of the nlght stmply because you were crymg. She woke up, came into your room and rocked you ~nher arms untd you went back to sleep. Mothers do thts out of pure lovc -wthout any des~refor reward or rccompense. What could be more virtuous> 1oncc askcd the hghest Islam~c phtlosopher of h s ume, the late Mutahan, why there was no mcnuon of female prophets in the holy books He astounded me by saying that God gave womcn the abhtv to be mothers, whch m many wavs is greater than bemg a prophet -God could not ask any human bemg to be both If you thnk about it, prophets hkc Jcsus arc messengers of the dmne wsdom, guidance and lust nature of the umversc Likemse, mothers are messengers of the dtvme mercy, compassion, and nurturing nature of the univcrsc We must respect women and mothers I, on the other hand, d never
be a mother (or a prophet). I have learned, though, by watchng mothers, that the most important way to be successfd 1s to fulfil your task in hfe w t h a full hcart Do your lob out of love in thc way a mother uncondt~onallycares for her child. Don't be conccrncd about the amount of Impact you d make or the return on your mvesunent - find somethmg that is worth lovlng and then be there mth open arms. There 1s a story my spiritual teachers used to tell mc whcn I was very young It is sad that Moses prayed to God asktng to meet hts necghbour In heaven. Moses thought that it would be some other great prophet It ended up bcing a regular person who spent h s days canng for hts sick mother Such a simple yet lovlng task earned hun a spot in hcavcn next to Moses. 1'1 c lcarned my lesson 1 no longcr dream of bemg a bestselhng author or a Nobel pnze mnntng- scicnttst. Nowadays I dream of rasing a goqd family and makmg a simple, honest hvlng. For mc, this would be greater than having all the fame in the world. Peace.

Incase your first thought on hearingabout itwas "Rig deal -T can do that!" Puppetry's Web site, uww.puppctryofthcpcnis.com, fcatures instructions for execunng the hamburger (see below), the trick that started it all. The hamburger involves holding thc testicles to the side, wrapping the penis between and under them, then rotating by 90 degrees and flattening the testicles so that they appear as a bun surrounding a penis hamburger. Pzqpety ofthe Penis was conceived by ~imonMorl&in1996anddebuted at the Melbourne Tnternational Comedy Festivalin 1998.

This is undoubtedlv a rcsult of the state of the gcnre in the more visible mcdia of television and movies.

The &st two shocks upon opening this book - that these writers really know modcrn science and that they can rcally write - are nothing compared to the surprisc that these storics are about relevant issues.

a decidedly strange stew of experimental rock, twisted pop, jazz, metal and funk. Faith No hlore wcnt on t o sell more than a million records,largely due to the successof thc hit single "Epic," and focused on amore accessible blend of metalrap-rock. Many more economicallyminded artists might have latched on to the commercial success of Faith No More and continued the formula. Patton, however, simply chooses to release whatever the heck he wants. Bandmate Buzz Osbourne has said that while most people start at the bottom and work their way up, Patton is hard at work escaping whatever status he had, shnking back down thc ladder of fame and crawling around on the ground. From this metaphoric gutter, Patton scrapes grit and finds objects off the streets and manipulates them into sounds that sometimes stretch the definitions of music. Patton's 1996 solo record, Adult Themesjar Voice, is compdsed solely of his remarkablcvocals. He doesn't sing so much as emote with squeals, moans and flutters, sometimes not cvcn soundtng human. Thcsc certainly aren't songs in the tradttional sense, but they -sureare interesting. Somcwhcre around the breakup of Faith No More in 1998, Patton launched his own label, Ipccac. Its first release was by Patton's
Fantomas. which fcaturcs member of Mr. Hunglc, Slayer and the Melvins.

Once again, he eschewcs lyrics for purc vocal sound and the rcsult is a jaw-dropping demonstra don of Patton's s U as he gocs from softly (and somewhat sinistcrly) singng to sounding like he's having a spastic fit. What makes Patton so talcntcd however, is not sheer range. It's what he does with that range, manipulating textures and making voice a fresh instrument again. On top of this he adds music which defies categorization and sometim~ even common sense, yet is always reeled back in just before it leaves this dimension entirely. What is also to be admired is how Patton maintains a prolific work schedule without spreading himself too thin. He can go from the wailing avant-metal of Melt Banana to the fairly straightforwar[ sexy crooning of Lovage and feel completely at home. He dalways keep his small-yc mighty following guessing and we wouldn't have it any other way.
