Roadrunners beware

Watch out speeders UW police set up radar guns on Ring Road as part of the speed awareness program. Accompanying screens post the speedof the travelling vehicle. The speed limit on Ring Road is 40 kmlh. The fine for speeding is $25 plus an additional dollar for every km over 40 kmlh. At 33 km/h, this student is well under the limit.

hlection reform -now Don't wait for more problems to happen

Tf elections are not runproperly a poor candidate might win, or worse yet, a strong candidate might not run. Can you think of a Feds executive that you wish hadn't won? I know many people have their own "favourite" whose victory they regret. For any potential candidate, anunfair process is a deterrent to candidacyunless the process is in one's favour, which sends us back to the problem of the poor c a d d a t e . The process under which elections are run should allow voters to determine who they want to scn7ethem. Students' Council dictates such a process through the election procedure andwill consider changes to it when they appoint an election committee inDecember. Fast, m tryng to get the best process for elections, the Feds must determine the principlus that !guide the process. Last year, I suggested a

guide for developing an electlon procedure. Good procedures should be "Practical, implementable andenforceable procedures to run fair electionswhere being a competitive candidate does not require an estraordinary cxpendlture of resources." With the word resources, I refer mainly to time and money, however reds should come up with what they dunk is important as this is merely my own suggestion. Some important values contained in this statement are fairness, financialaccessibihtyand reasonable demand on time. A fair procedure would level the playiqground for all candidates, ensuring that voters have a clear picture of who would be best for the position. An example of this is where candidates are assessed an equal cost for the same campaign materials, called fair market value. Ensuring financialaccessibthtyis

the recognition that candidates are not less capable for not hating moncp and are not more capable by having excessive funds This is m part enforced by spending limts As all candidates are students, victory must not require more tune than a student should normally be able to sacrifice, hence demands of campaigning on time should not be too great Oncc thepnnciples ofan election process are determmed, Feds have a basis to judge the current procedure and evaluateproposed changes Many simple changes could unprove the procedurc birst, it must acknowledge the existence of the Internet The only reference to the Internet refers to "improper use" and even this is not explained Second, there are twodifferent electionprocedures Councll introduced the second one, an online electionprocedure, for 2001

to accommodate both the plan to mox-e to online voting and the possibility that the online system might fail. Somewhere along the way, the word "onltne" was dropped and now there are two different procedures with the same purpose. The answer? Get nd of one Third, restrictive,unenforceable, andunnecessary rules cause prob lems The rule requ~ring11 inches of space between posters is one such poor rule Say candidate A complains that candidate B'Yposter is too close If you can determine whichwas there first, you mght thmk of fining B for the violation. What if, however, someone else moved B's poster closer? The fine mght go to A. Wait, why do we have this spacing rule in the first place? Consider the prmciples of an clectton procedure and ask if the rule has any value as anui~enforceabledeterrent

Once these and other problems are solved,we can look at other improvements to the election process In order to provide voters greater baus to distinguish between candidates, students and candidates should demand better forums Some forums should be debatestyle and others should be like intervtews focusing on the election for each position Content from these should be widely available through transcripts or recording^ I'his would be of extra value to co op students so they wouldn't have to decide based on Feds Web site statements or second hand medm coverage of candidates'perfonnancc Once thcse thing are takencare of we will have better elections and we won't have to talk about the same boring ?tuff

Don't let Islamofascism tarnish Muslims' good reputation

YOU! OFF MY PLANET

IN SEARCH OF

some distinctions Islam is about peace Islamofascismis about war - holy war. Islam is about tolerance and acceptanceof differences. Islamofacism is about totalitarianism- the rule of Islamic law in all places over all people. Islam is about responsibility Islamofascism is about blame. Islam is about love Islamofascism is about hate. Now, I don't think very many people in the Western world honestly believe that Islam is an mtnnsmlly violent rehgion, or that most M u s h s arc terrorists. Sure, there are a handful of idiots who think so, languishingin places &e the backwoods of Alabama and on the sets of daytune TV talk shows. This shouldn't be surprising, though. These are the same folks who entertam such enlightened thoughts as "maybe Hitler was right" and "gays should be shot." Danvmsm wdl hfljsh them off eventually, and in the meantime it's

* Osama bm Laden IT no more a good Muslim than David Korcsh was a model Chnstian. So if non-Muslims can make the ' distinction so easdy, the real quandary is why more of the real Muslims -the 99 9 per cent aren't distancmgthemselvesas far as ! possible from the Islamofascists J Aside from being included on the Islamofascist hit list -remember, moderates can be seenas collaborators with the ~mmoraldemocratic ' capitalists -you'd think M u s h s would be exponentially more vocal ' about condemmg such perversion of their faith, not to mention more concerned about thar own safety and security On an individual level, many Muslims are indeedconcernedand say as much. On the official level, however -Muslim states, lobby groups and other orgamzattons, the silence is deafemg. Note * the great pains that Western leaders ' such as George Bush and Tony Blair take to dtsttnguish ~ u s & s from Islamofascists This is a wise and necessary step to reassure Muslims about the truth: that a is not their fa&, but rather those who have hijacked it, which a under siege from the West. If M u s h s are concerned about being viewed id the wrong light, they should be m h g i t equally clear that they are every bit as opposed to the Islamofascistsas the rest of the world.

Somebody doesn't like me

FINDING BALANCE This has been an interesting meek for me. On Saturday, a jouriialist decided to use statements from my last column in I m p ~to~ mock f me oil doorsteps all over Canada. An arttcle in Thr GlobpnndMailcalled me "ovcrscnsitive" for feeling humiliated by the abuse I get evcry tune I cross the Canadian-American border. Relatives of mine from all over called me as they read about me being tidicded in the national newspaper w h a t a great way to start awcekend. The nest day, as I walked to my car from mosque in Toronto, a random passtng car opened a s window so that the people Inside could call me insulting names as they drox-c by. 'l'hat was fun too. To make my week even more exctting, I receix-ed two different hate-messages in my inbos. The second one, sent anonymously from the hotmail address god-spcll@hotmail.cum, decided to respond to my article entttled "\then did it become okay to hate bIusltms?'bby so fittingly explaining to me why my religion and the religion of my ancestors is a terrorist religion. "God-spell" so liindly wcnt through the patnstaking effort of using googlecorn to compile a

list of all the terrorist groups which call themselves Muslim. God-spell's beliefs were not just based on current events, though. Oh no; God-spell said in his thoughtful cmatl to me: ". . . I've taken a course in Islam aild read the Qur'an myself." That's right, all by himself. Ironic, isn't a, that this same week is "Islam Awareness Week" on campus! Ilespite all the hate that has been thrown at me over the wcck, all my frustration disappeared in one night. On Monday, I rushed to the hospital to see my new baby cousin, aptly named "Mehdi" which is Arabic for "the awaited saviour." He was only one hour old when I got to hold him and as I looked into his tiny little eyes, all the hate in the world melted away. And I remembered a lesson taught to me by a student here last year after previously receiving other hate messages in my mbos: the burning realization that "a drop of love neutrali~esan ocean of evil " And so, as we prepare for the holiday season and some of us prepare to graduate, I urge us all to extend even the tiniest drops of kindness i n the form of grfts or just smiles -to those peoplc u hom we hare fooled ourseh es mto hating or fcarmg, with the hope that our children mill one day be able to swim in the oceans of lox e that ne ha\ e unlocked for them Peace

That sucking sound? Democracy going down the drain

MAPS AND LEGENDS As Canadians, we (even the poorest among us) arc some of the most privileged peoplc on this globe. We enjoy a high quality of life, enshrincdprotection from persecution and oppression and we have the nght to decide who and how we will be governed. But whcn a comes time to make that decision, almost 10 per cent of us fail to remove our posteriors from the couch and forfeit our voice in the nation's affairs.Therefore, those Canadians take thcir freedom for granted, are lazy andare betraying the tenets of citizenship. o r , the major parties contesting elections these day5 arc so alike m tdcas to be effccttvely mdisttnguish able and present the voters wtth no real choice Furthermore, thewhole electoralprocessis a farce because a is flooded with influence-buying money and all of the important decisions arenow made in corporate boardrooms or in non-democrattc globe spanntng orgmi~ations Therefore our democracyis a feel good illusmon and there is no point partidfpattng So which one is it? Like most thtngs, there is almost nerer one simple answer and in this case it is a combination of the two most frequently touted reasons. Hut one thing is for certain,elcctoralpartict-

Arduous journey through snow-capped peaks.

Navigation: the trek continues continued from Cover

The look on my teammates' faces reflected the nervousness of racers. .I.hementalstress one endures before an adventure race is unimaginable. 'lhc thought of iunninga hventy-fiw lulometre race -or longer is not what the average person is used to, racmentally or physically.Ad~.cnh~re ers are adrenaline junkies. As we staked our spot at the startmg line, 85 teams consisting of 155 people sn total \vould make the mass start amad scramble for bothposition and for spacing. As rain fell in spurts andgrey clouds loomed, it was apparent that the inclement weather we'd setnwhtlepreparing for the race waai't going to letup. The race began andwc found ourselves lostlaigamongother tcams. As the first checkpoint approached, teams started to spread out as navigational route choices began. \X'e kept agoodpace and startedusing .ur own routes to make our way to iicckpoints. The first legwas straightfonvardandwe found ourselves cruiskgalong t d s and roads. We were off to a great start on our adventure. -

More route choiccs mere given to teams to n a m gate to the checkpomts.As we entered the final sectionof the racc,wc found that it challenged our team with its more complex route choices. The scrambleproved to be long and arduousand checkpointswere fartherapart. Aiming for our fmal checkpomt of the course, we entered into the area where we believed a to be, but multiple gullies and hills caused a naviga\ !e tion headache in navigation. X searched everywhere for the checkpoint, yct it was nowhere to be seen. Close to an hour later, an executive decision to head to thc finish line was made. Penalty for the missed checkpoint was a thtrty-minute penalty. Navigation is by no means an easy task. Being able to read and understand a map and compass is somethmg that takes time and practice.

As temperatures begin to fall, students can be seen bundling up in winter wear. l3eneath the layers of clothsng, though, some choose to omit acertainundergarment: underwear. Sure, today's undenvear marketis scll;ngsomereryskunpypicces, but a new I c ~ c of l skimpiness has been achieved. Going commando. .I.he term bccainc popularafteranng and a on the hit TV show F~-ie/ul~trend was quickly c r c a ~ e adtrend that some follow, even admirc, and others abhor. But one question re mams of interest. \"%ere did the term "goiiig commando" originate, and how does it relate to walking around without unclenvear? According to the Web site wv\w\~.theans\vcrbank.co.uk "the nlmour is, commandos don't wear undenvear under their battledress" and "the reason commando units tend to avosd undcnvear is because duringamphibious operations sand tends togetwashedup intouncomfortableareas.Lndenvearmouldtrap a exactly where you don't want it [while]without underwear it drains right out." After many attempts to verify this relationship, neither confirmations nor denials could be found, only mformation to evoke laughter and disbelief. So the origin remains a mystery. During the investigation into the ongin of the term "commando," a number of other curiositiescame to the surface. Prevalence among students, hygiene and other health issues of going without one's undershorts moved to the forefront. When this reporter wanted to fmd out whether one "style" is healthier than the other shc dccidcd that itwas

a decision that could only be determined by a health care professional. LnY'sFTcalth Serviceswasqulcklycontacted. Dr. Barbara Schumacherclarihed the "commando" coiitrowrsyas being an issue pertaming to sperm count.

This space I S very close to the body, thus resu1tingsnawarmenvin)nment due tonah~ralbodyheat. Schumacher specified that advice to wear boxers ss given to "men wanting to conceive and h a ~ i n g difficulty doing so." This can also be achicrcd by not wcaring anything down below, although this is not mcntioncd to thepat~entunlcss they specificallyaskabout the issue. In repxis tohygeiie,askmcn.com responds totheissue statingthategen erally, there's nothing wrong with going commando" and that the advice columnist "personally believe[s] undenvear serves animportant fimction. They offer great support and comfort, and they'll definitely lend a hand m keeping your hygiene standards above par." The most interesting aspect of the investigation into the role of "going commando"mts the part that it played

in the lives of C\Y' students. Our Campus Question revealed a whole new \\orld of appreciation of 'going commando.' Many students not only approl-eofth~s trendbut alsopractise O'Connor, Vice President of it. l*n Education for the I'cderation of Students, discussed his ci~tranceinto the un-undered world three years ago.

As dawn breaks over the campus horizon, the newly awakened sunlight glimmers on the s h y glass windows ofa bus as it sluggishlypulls out of the PAC driveway. As the team makes its way down the highway, the team explodes into song, 'Whooah, we're halfway there/ Oooahhh,livid onaprayer/Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear/ Oooahhh, livin' on a prayer." The amateur karaoke-ers on the bus makeup the varsity Warrior men's and women's swim teams and the song they are singing is more than perfect to describe their season right now. The Warriors are attempting to hang together and hang tough as they pass the half-way mark of their competition season. The Warriors are balancing a grueling training schedule combined with swim meets, so they are frequently finding themselves on earlymorning bus trips to compete against other Ontario universities.

Thompson and Reid discussed the experiences of being a canadian director and playwright. This is the second of a scrics of four public conrersations. The first was with artist 'l'ony Urquart in late September and the next will be filmmaker Terrence Odctt inJanuary Reid based many of his questions around Thompson's career as a playwright and director. Reid t&s to basc many of his questions around what a is lke to be a Canadian artist today. "These questions are directed to UW students specifically to give them the opportunity to learnwhat it is like to make a living through the arts" he said. Thts is the basis formany of the conversations explained Reid. He bclicvcs that many university students graduating with a degree in the arts area are unsurc what to do with their degree andoften donot seckacareer in that disciplme.To further &,Reid believes that after many students graduatc from U\V they do not seek

work positions within the Kitchener \Y'aterloocommunitp.. Rcidcxplaitled, "I wanted to involve the university in the community arts. I want to establish or acknowledge connections that csistwithinour community that many people are not aware of." In addition to this, Reid and Mtller have also h e n planning symposia within each arts disciplme. 'l'he first focused o n the fme arts aspect of the community. Thcsc symposia include atotalof30individuals fromarttsts,aa directors and city planners. As Keid explains, "these sessions are sort of work-&progress type, they are basically a think-tank." Although these sessions are not open to the public, they definitelyare provingworthy and producinggreat results. The fine arts group is lookingat thc possibdity of a comrnunitywide art exhibition celebrating the activities of local artists.

"It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing." This sums up the feelings of thosexvho attended thc Swing and Social (:lub's end of term social, "Dancingin thenloonlight," this past Saturday. It was held at the Royal Canadian Jxgion Hall in LY'aterloo where the ULT club mingled mith similar clubs from surrounding univcrsities like \Yrestcrn.Itis quite interestinghow the numerous swingclubs communicate, attending their colleagues' events in surrounding arcas. Thisprovidcdnumerous prospective dance partners for our own\Yaterloo swingers Dancing t o the styles of Alex Pangman and her Alleycats, a swing hand from 1oronto, definitely added to this incredible atmosphere Everyone had the same intentions: to dance as much as possible with as manypaafiersaawere avadablc,whch canbc related toanother connotation of the word "swingers " However, thiswayismuch saferaildless controversial. Although this erent consisted mainly of csperiei~cedsmingdancers, old a i d young, other "non-swingers" were located throughout the room. These indindualswere encouraged to join and venture onto the dance floor. The veterans happily coached some of the newcomers into the ssving lifestyle, n o matter how reluctant thepmere. \Yhile the bandwas tahnga break, a routine mas by Swing h o t , a sw m p g q u a d from ULY. This dancing fnursome displayxl their dancing abilities including many impressive tricks of the trade like aerials. However, hswould be the only showing of aerial stunts during thc night. The room was crowded and at t h ~ s beglni~erlevel aerialswere notm-enan option. That mas quite finc mith me, I figurcditwould be better to stick to the basics and even that in itself was challenging enough. 'Throughout the night the dance floor was hopping with never a dull m o m e n t . The combination of Pangman's voicc, the shuffle of feet, - -

and accompaniment from "the cats" pnduced mcllow yetactke surrnundings; it was hard to s t q still. 'l'he addiction to music can be fived bldancmk some become junhes. How evcr you choose to look at it, swing dancing is a safe substitute for other more detrimental actil-itieswhethcr it bc aiiother form of "s~vmging" or a habitual obsession. It is satisfying to many students'needs; good and bad. Those interested in channelling their remaining energy should deknitely consider joiningthis club. It isagreat way to socialize with old friends and meet some new ones along the way Plus, not only is it fun, it'? healthy a\ well Overall, the night was agreat suc cess. Everyone was very enthusiastic and ready to dance the mght away.The musicians played all of their songs beautifully. All of thcsc clcments created the perfect swing experience. Ifyouare interestedin piningthis wonderful UK' club have n o fears; they are always welcomingnew members. Howc~-er,it is easier to join close to thc beginnmg of each tern.

Enter into the world of the play Coral Leslie To umvrap or not to unwrap, to ring or not to ring, that is the question What is going on with today's theatre audiences?I have seen many shows m the theatre as a retriewerover the years and I am now b e p i n g to see increasingly alarming trends m the aisles The time has come to review audiences ~ W O thumbs down There is m the making a ruling to prohibit cell phoncs mall theatre auditoriums Bravo1 Braval Bravistmal 'The Unwrap Your

Candy Disease' -ask New York playwright Doug Wright -runs rampant from audience to audience, with K-W no exception My concentrationwas shattereddumg recent productiom The DramrBy and The Blak Box, with infuriating play by play of the play In at least 20 shows of late that I have attended as a reviewer, I canname mstanccswhere audience members conttnuallyinterruptedpatrons around them Today's audicnces seem to have very little attennon span They seem to think that live theatre 17 like TV or a movie -that you can eat during a, comment during it, unzip and unclasp vanous aems during it and of course, answer your cell phone They don't seem to reali7e that they are ruining the \how that others have come to see People pay good money to see these shows (tickets range Erom $45 to some

Pullon, Stooping to tie laces IS so beneath you. Blundstone boots are pull-on,

tmes $85 for a regular tcket and don't forget mega-shows that c o ~ t up to $150 a ticket) Audience noise and cell phone interruptions are starting to upstage the actor5 Ah yes, I can still recall the thundering chorus of coughing and sputtemg, the audience storm of noise that almost drowned out Christopher Plummer's poipant finale during King Lear I Iere are more outrageous instances that occurred m audences around Southern Ontario m recent months I went to see Henry VI.Recolt zn England and Revenge m Frame at the Stratford Festival Both of these product~onswere spotled for me because of inconsiderateaudience morons In R e d , there were three people who made it their personal mission to comment all the way through the show blah blah blah They were theatre people and they sounded like they knew it all and wanted everyone else to know it too Thank God, by the second act the noise of the show overrode their hstoncal play by play Then, just two nights later, I was watching Hetzty 1/1.Re1 enge zt~ Frame and two women behind me were constantly exploding with 'Wow did ya see that;" 'Yes, I did Tsn't that euciting;" T had to lean fonvard to concentrate, because in Hewry V I there is a lot going on and all I could hear was this infernal unwrapping of candj It \T as painful the length of timc a took thi5 woman to open the package up In the beginning of the second half, Big Lady Number One announccd that 5 h had ~ more Twizzlers for the entire second act "Oh good," e~claimedRotundo Number Two As the second act progressed, I missed hhchaelTherriault's c h a t i c moment as Henryw hen he leaves the stage m turmoil All I could hear was the "big unnrapping" of the l a ~ 1t wiz~lerI was infuriared and the guy next to me clearly felt the same

At the Shaw Festival while watching Refnr~zoffbe Prutl&a( I was again subjected to the Return of the Unw-rapping -thts time Werther's candy. I saw tlie woman beside me bring them in and my heart sank crackle crackle crackle over top ofBen Carlson as the scheming ne'er-dowell-offspring. Cracklecracklecrackle during Bernard Behrens' poipant love-hate scenewith same scandalous son. But the piece de resistance had to be the mighty electronic ring of Scotland the Brave as the hghly embarrassed cellular customer just let it ring and ring and ting ten minutes into the first act. Does the friendly warning "please turn off all electronicdevices so youcancntcr more completely into the world of the play" or "for legal reasons please turn off all cell phones, pagers and watch alarms," ring on deaf ears? D o these rude and inconsiderate types thmk that no one can hear them unwrap a Werthers, suck on a melting Coffee Crisp or chew on a Twizzler. The more inconspicuous you try to be, the noisier you are. Actors detest it. Severaltheatre veterans told me that noise like that duringapcrformance is very annoying. 'l'hey also revealed that people who think they are beingvery quiet are in fact much louderwhen they insist on disrupting the play by unwrapping candy.Actors caneasily detect coughing,throat c1earing;yld other ambient audience noise. They arc trained to listen. Yes, ladies and germs, in the climax you couldn't hear a pin drop, but you could hear someone opening aJolly Rancher! Eating, drinlung, t a k q ccll phones calls, there's a time for this. It is called intermission. I am incensed to the point whcrc I believe (and I am not the only one) that anyone who makes unnecessaq noise during a performance should immediately be escorted out of the performance with no refund.

Mamstreammoviescanget verytiresome. With the holiday season fast approachmg, I cmge at the flurry of terribly unorigmal movies thatwillbe appearing. So for me, to see a movie ltke SpiriedAn~gwas a breath of frcsh ax. SpiritedAwq is an ammated ftlm directed byHayaoMyazakr,makerof such movies as PnncessMononokeand My Neighbor Totom. The movie revolves around a small girl named C b r o who is travelling with her parents on the way to theu new home They become lost and wind up outsideofadarktunnelandofcoursethey foohshlydecide to explore it On the

other side, they encounter an amusement park which is actually an oasis where the spints of the dead come to relax This is unbeknownst to Chihiro's parents, who are trans formed into pigs after gorging themselves on "spirit food." Chihno soon fmds herself working inside a "bathhouse for the spmts" m order to save them. Talung a lob as a cleaning woman, she is Introduced to a weird menagerieof characters Mostpromnent isYubaba,the fearsomemstress of the bathhouse,who hires C&o, but takes her name and identityaway, r e n m g her Sen. Also present arc No-face, a strangely masked creature who devours the greedy, the aptly named " S d - p i t ' ' andHaku,amas who is more than he seems. Chihiro must overcomeher personalfearsand p the confidence and respect she needs in order to free her parents, but also to recover her identity from Yubaba. If you are confused by aIl this, I don't blame you. SpiritedAwqisa film that has a certam abandon to it It has been compared toAhcern Wonderland, and hke Lewis Carroll's mastcrpiece, Spii-itedAwayis a movie of surprising depthandincrediblemapation. The a m a t i o n is b&antly depicted and the storyline n easy to follow, but

at Hogwarts We're stuck with Harq Potter for a long time yet and that's not such a had thing

embedded with meatling and Gymbols. Important lessons on morality, such as the problems of greed, gluttony and awareness of the environment are all presented, but in a subtle manner. As for imagination? Consider the m d it takes to devise such auniqueplohewith somanyunique characters and creatures I haven't been &s creative since I was a child Sure, parts of the movie make no sense, like why No face is taught to kmt, but that's beside the p m t they all make sense in the context of the Miyazaki's world This may be a Disney film, but it isn't traditional at all,there were no stockcharacters,nor tallung companion animals. The plotline was refreshtngly o q p a l as well. I was kept guessinguntiltheend and I loved every minute of it. At one point, 1wondered if I had to be on drugs of some sort to appreciate the full effect ofthts Wm, but that's beside the pomt. The movie is funny, touchtng and b&t I remarked as I left the theatre that this was the most original movie I have ever seen. I truly felt spirited away by this film. This most impressive part of Spin'tedA~i~q is its overall originality Take the chance to be spmtedaway. You won't be disappointed.
