Crime on the rise at UW Student societies are not the only target of recent campus theft an Howard MPRINT STAFF
Zecord snow falls, cold days and eneolment applications aren't the only ,tatisticson the rise; theft and breakns are also setting new records on :ampus. "There has been a marked lncrease [in crime] sinceJanuaryofthis rear," said staff sargeantwa~neShorn ~fU\VPoltceServices UW Police have filed a total of 47 zases ofbreakandenterand theft so far th~syear The number of thefts has alreadyincreased fromwhat itwas m each of the past three years, almost fourtunesgreaterthantheaveragefor those years. "That's extremely high There has been high criminalactivity mthis pastwhile andwe haven't been able to fully d e t e m e the reason why," said Shortt Although student societies such as math, engneenng,psychologymd environmentalstudleshave been broken into, Shorn does not believe that societieshavebeenspec&callytargeted. He noted that there has also been an increasein break-ins tocampus offices and lockers and a rise m thefts of personal equipment, such as laptops andcameras. He believes thatwhere thefts have re-occurred,itwas because theperpetrators did not h s h the lob and seduatymeasureswere not unproved. One notable case was the theftofa safe from the EnvironmentalStudiesSociety early last week, as reported in Imprintone weekago. That theft was just overaweekafterapreviow break and enter in the same office During the first break-m, thieves were unable to take the safe A second attempt by more prepared thieves, however,was successfulin taking the safe. Thusfartherehavebeenno charges in relation to the break ins or thefts this year. Shorttwouldnot comment on the status of these open cases, though he did state that there have
been two cases where perpetrators barelygotaway. In one case,UVCTPohce were close enough to hear the perpetrator's footstepswhile the individual ran off Inthe secondnear-apprehension, UWPohce were able "toprevent the perpetrator from returning for a pack sack, burglary tools and welldefmed campus map," said Shortt. These two mcidents have been the closest leads thus far. Thieveshavekepta few stepsahead of UW Police, leaving little material evidence or clues to investigate Becausetheseofficesoftenhaveanumber of people coming m and out, "it is next to Impossible to get a decent set of Gnger prints," stated Shortt. He commented that one of the few ways to track these crimes is by the goods taken: "Our only hope a that something like that is taken," said Shorn, referring to traceablegoodslikelaptops and cameras. The ease and apparent coordifiation of break-ins to student societies has led many to suggest that these thefts have beencommrttedbyorganized and well-informed thieves. "I don't necessanlyknow if it's agroup, but it seems to be someone who has a reasonable knowledge of the campus," said Shortt He also noted that the thieves know the patterns of people on campusandwhen they willnot be there. Shortt believes that one of the best defences against theft on campus are the custodians, who are "very dillgent about who is in their buildings."

Committee oversteps mandate
Students'council will receive recommendations on how refundible fees should be structured at its meeting on Sunday. The recommmendationscome from a :ommittee re-formed to advise zouncil after the UW PC Campus 4ssociationcollected signatures. The PCs were attemptingto force a referendum to make refundable fees strikable online, wh~chmeans you :odd choose not to pay them when i.ou paid your tuition It would come as no surprise hat a committee dominated by representatives from student x p z a t t o n s would recommend hat their fees not become strhble d m e . That is exactlywhat hap3ened Although a committee with a ;irmlar mandate existed for 11 nonths without meeting, this latest teration that was formed in January mnd has produced its fmal report. f i e Advisory Committee on the Iollection of Incidental Fees has .ecommended minor changes to the
system and that council oppose a referendum Students' council and as committees should represent the most important people m the organization, the students \&'hen the committee was formed, besides the members from council, only student orgaiuzations got standing at the committee Even though LeeWudrick's right-winggang collected a sipficant number of signatures that supported a referendum, no representative from that group was given standing at the committee. It seems contrary to any intent of serving students when groups who express an interest are gnored. It would have been m the best interest of students to fmd a resolution on the issue to bung the two sides together Instead there was a committee loaded with orgarmat i o d mterest The PC Campus Association can easily be seen as having - some political interest in opposing the current fee structure. Organizations that collect and benefit from students' fees, however, also have a special mterest in supporting structuresthatprotect thelr revenues. The mandate of the committee was to review the current refund system, examme how referendum procedures would apply and report findings.
So making recommendations to council on its position m a possible referendum seems just a little outside the committee's mandate Most concernswith the referendum procedure the comrmttee raised would be moot if Feds ever got around to updating the referendum process to match the changesmade to the election procedure The appendices do provide some information but the recommendations should be taken with some salt. So, thanks for the appendices,you can keep the report

Waffling over conspiracy theories To the editor, I would just like to usc this space to lament my disdain for the coordmators of Brubaker's weekly menu For thepast few weeks, myself and a friend, have enjoyed a weekly breakfast ritual at the above mentioned popular student campus eatery.The breakfast item that I am of course refermg to is none other than the irreplaceable,freshlymade Belgumwaffles.
To the editor, As a strict vegetarian I was appalled and offended to read Alyssa Bnerley's "To eat meat or not to eat meat;" in the March 7,2003 edition of the Imprint. Her article was inaccurateandpoorly researched Vegetarians are often more or just as healthy as meat eaters We are obviously morc aware of the food that we put mto our bodies and wc are able to find the correct foods to have a healthy diet Bnerley statesthatc'vegetarianism is avery delicate balance that many people are unable to reach." This statistic is demeamng and

Claims to fame
The Uniwrsity of Waterloo, founded m July 1957, had 17,972 full time undergraduate students and 2,520 part-time undergraduate students enrolled in 2002, as well as over 2,000 graduate students. Currently,there are 110,000UW alumm livmg m 133countries around the globe So, odds are that at least one of them must be famous, right? I've always been cunous -is there anybodyrecognizable, on at least a seim-national platform, who graduated from our campus? Upon researching this, I found that we certainly have a bit of competition to face in this category from our Ontano neighbors actor Martm Short graduated from McMaster,~vhile]ear host Alex Trcbck &d his undergrad at the University of Ottawa TragicallyHip lead singer Gord D o m e graduated from Queen's, and famous poet/ singer Leonard Cohen did time at McGtll Rverson alumni include the founders of Four Seasons Hotels and Laidlaw, 1nc (respectively), while actor Donald Sutherland and director Norman Jewison hail from UofT Even our lov-elyacquamtances down the street have a couple of stars of their own, most notably David Chtlton ('The Wealthy Barber") and WiWEwrestlerLance Storm (although it was only a brief stmt). Obviously, because we are st11 quite a young umversity compared to thc aforementioned schools (the youngest school after us is WLU, founded in 1711), we probably won't boast as big a "celebrity" resume. But after 45 years, we must have a couple of poster grrls/boys. Not international superstars,per se (that student who won the show case showdown on The Pnce 25 &ght
could very well be the most recent rrm'studcnt/graduate to appear on North American TV), but people who are quite succcssfu1,nevertheless Demse Donlon, often called the most powerful woman in Canadian Music, began her career as a pro ducer and show host ("The New MIIFZC") at MuchMusic, where she eventually become vice president and generalmanager The visionary hchmd MuchMoreMusic, Donlon left Much m 2000 to become president of Sony Music Canada Along with two G e m awards, Donlon was included m Sh$ 's "25 Most Important People m New Music " and in 2002 she was inducted mto the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' hall of fame. \ V d h Reeves, a math grad, got much of his success from his co production of the animated short Tin Toy for Plxar, which won an A~ademyAward for best animated short film Since then, he has acted as techcaldirector onsuchprolects as Young Sherlock I lolmes and 7by Stoy while worktng for Pytar Entertauunent In sports, we have UWgrad Sharon Bowes, who has five Commonwealth Games gold medals and four Olymptc game appearances for rifle shootifig under her belt Ian McKegney, who spent much of his career in the CH1,and A1 IL, was called up for a few games by the ChicagoBlackhawks m the NI IL We also have a crop of CFL players, includingJarrett Smith of the I Iamlton'l'iger-Cats, U W s career rushmgleader, andJasonVan Geel, W s all time leadmg tackler Besides that, the co-author of Chicken Xoupj%rthe SoulAt Work, thevice-president of technology/ architectureatJava Software, a band member of the Toronto Argonotes (The Argos' official marching band) and the director of the Metropolitan Opera House inNew York City are all UW gads Not bad for a school rhat's full of geeks who do their homework 24 hours a day!

Baghdad or bust
MAPS AND LEGENDS Saddam Hussein is a cancer upon this earth, particularlythe Middle Eastern portion of it The Umted States has announced that nothmg less than regime change in Iraq is acceptable and has amassed its formidable might to force just such a change Sascha Trudeau has just arrived in Baghdad to document what he fears will be a "human tragedy" If it's tragedy he's looking for, he's about thuty years late For the sake of the Iraqi people, this is a wat that must be fought and won As anyone not h n g m a cave (Osama excluded) has noticed, George W. Bush's planned war against Iraq is opposed by massive majorities throughout Europc and has prompted d o n s to protest around the globe. The message they have been transmitting is clear: no war. They mght be wise to consider that Saddam Hussein has been at war for decades, a p s t Iran, against Kuwait but mostly against h s own people. Where were the d l i o n s of protestors then) Eras the gassing of the Kurds, the slaughter of the rebels at the end of the first Gulf War or thirty-odd years of general oppression not exciting enough to get demonstrators into the streets) Why is it only when America takes action that millions get motivated to denounce war? Or, as Iraqi poet Awad Nasser wondered, "Are these people ignorant, or are they blmded by hatred of the Umted States?" Not to be mean, but the peace movement has been proven wrong on almost every international dispute smce Vietnam If they had succeeded in convincingAmerica to scrap its nuclear arsenal m the 1980s, it's possible that the Soviet Union, in all of its totalitartan grandeur, would still exist today. They opposed NATO mtervention m Yugoslavia and today that country has a democraticallyelected president while the previous thug sits m a courtroom m the Netherlands. To sum it up, the road to hell is paved with good mtentions (of which the peace movement has many) but a lack of action now condemns the people of Iraq to life in its
earthly equivalent. To those expressingconcern over the possibility of a massive anti-Americabacklash throughout the Middle East following an Americaninvasian of Iraq, consider the power of the image of thousands of Iraqis celebratingas their tormentors of three decades are chased off, captured or N e d outright by American and Btrttsh soldiers As thmgs are shaping up, the city of Basra will be the first to be freed from Hussem's p p Hopefully, the cameraswill be rolling. As for the United Nations and its muchvaunted seal of approval, keep in mmd that in the entire history of its extstence a grand total of one country has ever asked for global approval before embarkmg on a d t a r y c-piugn. That country IS the United States,which sought and received sanction for its liberation of Kuwait m 1991 France, Russia, China and all the other nations demanding control over the actions of the United States never have submitted, and likely never will, to the same procedure that they demand of the Americans Those states are pursuing their own agendas, which have little to do with doing anything for the people of Iraq, 'l'his war is not about weapons of mass de'struct~onand it never really has been. Palustan,with its proven nuclear arsenal, its ~aliban-friendly&telligenceand security services is a much bigger proliferation threat than Iraqeverwas I suspect the true American objectiveis to achieve a fundamental transformation m the balance of power m the Mtddle East, beginning with Iraq. I would like to believe that Bush is serious about his pledge to rebudd a democraticIraq,unforkmately,after admirable successesm Germany andJapan,America's track record is not encouraging Oil, undoubtedly, is also a factor, but p e n the upcoming transformationof the world economy away from fossd fuels and the fact that America can purchase more than enough oil from other sources, it is dishonest to call this an od war In conclusion, I am not under any illusions that Amenca is entermg into this with pure or altruistic motives The Umted States is pursuing its national agenda, and smce it is the global superpower,the Amencan agenda has many side effects as a moves onward If one of the side effects of this war is the removal of Saddam Hussem and a new chance for the people of Iraq, then it is one war that I support

An adrenaline rush, exhibitionist style tionist. In the past, I have m fact acted m a manner meant to attract attention, but I mostly behave m such a way sunply for the thdl of being caught. After dlscussingtheact of exhibitionism with various friends, we decided thatthere are many levels of participation.There are people that hate it, tolerate it, are indifferent to it, reluct+ about it, cmous about it, envious of it (Ada Ocal!), open to it or love it. In one such conversation, standards became a factor. My fnend will only take part if he is proud enough of hts partner to display his kinkiness. Then he stated, "but there are somepeoplewho are like that all of the time " I was taken aback I have standards- it's just too much of a turn on when someone enjoys the art of exhibltiollism as much as yourself to resist them. Most people I spoke to held no strong convictions, except a
few who were extremely opposed to it. I don't understand what the problem is Getting my groove on m various places doesn't hurt anyone but it does help me. I experience anadrenalmerush, a good lay and hopefullya release of...tensions. Once again my mother's words ring in my ears. "You won't know until you try it " (if only she knew how useful this statementhas been in my life) Take her advice. Luckdy,I have yet to be repnmanded by unsuspecting onlookers -well, anonymous ones that is; parents (not mine!), faends and roommates don't count So far, the park, woods, hd, shower, pool house, car and other interesting venues have all proven tobeworthy experiences (recalling the moments themselves are enough to get me go&) and I hope to add to my list various
campus spots (I need a boy first, though). As for Ocal and his jealousy, I urge him togive il a try and let me h o w the outcome -if he requires someone to show him the ropes he has my number. To those who are extremely insulted by exhibitiomsm I ask you to calm down and ponder the reasons you find it so bothersome It could be jealously, sexualuncertamties or childishness, among other issues There has to be a source of the feeling of hiscomfort youassociate with these acts.

UW grad seeks
eace in Iraq
An upclose interview with the UW grad that visited Iraq in early February and returned to tell all Alex lolov SPECIAL TO IMPRINT
As the dogs of war amass on the Arabic peninsula, the arguments whether ther should be unleashed rages on. Both hawks and doves pull clichC lessons from history and catchphrasemorals to suitthctrarguments, as both parties conjure vague predictions about the fi~ture.One person, a LW. grad, has stretched beyond the stale polcmics and traveled to the very heart of the storm, Baghdad,a city that even nowwaits to findwhether itwill jomDresdenandGuernicaasanother victim of the ferocity ofmodern warfare. Matthew Bailey-Dickwasm Iraq February 1through 15, as a member ofa ChristianPeacemakerTeam. The team visited schools and hospitals and listened to people's stories about the effects of the sanctions and the threat of a looming war. Today he is trying to share l s experiences andconvince others that "\X7aris no solution!" T a l n g the podiumat the Conrad Grebcl Great I I d , he confcsscd he is still in babblmg mode, still trying tounderstand what really happened to himin Iraq, where l d s play soccer and Uno andwait for the bombs. "What would it bc like if that was [my son]?" he asked. 'What would it be like if it was you?'He lit acandle onstage for the people of Iraq. His mission, he said, is simple: "Stop the war!" IIe is trying to fight the last superpower's march to battlc with another superpower -public opinion. By putting a human face on war, he hopes to incite thc same protests thatwithdrewthe US. fromvtetnam. He is desperately trying to offset our mass media's suggestions that this -
-
will be a smart war. a clean war. He is trying to dispel pop-culture images of modernwar, where tanks, jet fighters and the gadgets of modern technology are presented like elements of a video game. He wants to remind us that "collateral damage means an innocent person is annihilated," that bombs and bullets maim people with "thc samc blood, the same tears." Pictures of the'91 war flash on the projector. Imprints ofmcincratedcarcasses on a bombshelter's floor or horrendouslydisfigured babies -the result of using depleted uranium shells. A concert of Arab folk music. A stretched table filled with all the delicacies of Middle Eastern cuisine. In my conversation with BdeyDick, I had a chance to get a better understanding of his experiences in Iraq and the views and opinions they have helped him form. Q: You encountered a lot ofhospitaIip in Iraq, IJU~hdyou encounter any h a d i g tun~ardsthe West, ton~ardsNorth Amen'. wm? A: No. The Iraqis wouldmake the distinction that, 'You are citizens of that country. Wc don't hate you, it's your government we have a problem with.'Actuallpa's back here thatpeople have problems making that distinction, Iraq being observedas being all one thing, Saddam and the people are lumped together, losing the distinction. That's what makes it easy to fght a war. When you objectify the cncmy into no longer being human. But in Iraq it's, You are human. We are human.' Beyond thc political boundaries, we are all the same human beings.

Because there are so many people ewlore thc ltvcs of other students and see how with cameras, t h s is the ktnd of art that stirs up a more dialectic, creativedynamlcin the student composite By t h s I mean that Yip and Inch have taken a new approach to photography by mterpremgartasaprocess ofexploration rather than that of constructionmanifestininterpretation. In a world where almost everyone has a digital or fancySLRcamcra,Yip and Inch move aheadof the crowdbytum~figback to the basics. They've managed to grab hold of somethmg that stands out -- somethtng that moves toward an accurate impression of what art is today m the postmodern world - by letting "the cameracapturc the image for you," saidY~p while attempting to articulate the complesity that he sees in the simple tool - I IOLGA. 'l'he WOLGA is a cheap camera, "running $30to $40 on thc Internet," Inch said. Ituses 130 medium format fdm, which is the cheapest format one can hope to h d . It takes 615 or 6x6 square formats, has one 1/100 shutter specd, a 60mm wide angle lens, chocked full of distortion, flare, soft edges andlight fall off andif you like, it comes withaneck strap. And, to top it all off, there are absolutely no guarantees from anyone that h s camcrawillevenwork. The film doesn't get pushed back properly causing a number ofp&blcms when trying to load and the lens is crap. Thcrc are light leaks, distorted pictures and younever knoww-hat you'rc going to get from your photographs until it comes time to develop in thc dark room, but that is the pomt. "With other cameras you always know what you're going to get if you know even a little bit about how to takegood pictures, you can usually get what you want, from a t e c h c a l vantage.

Inch and Yip both feel that it is a more artistic approach to photography. They said that thts approach acts as "a counterrevolution tothe school ofphotographersusing SLRcameras where everythingis soprecise." The two young artists decided to focus on the theme of student life because of the close ties they havewith it, being students and betngalivc. "It just hits close to home for us. We want to -

Huether Hotel Lion Brewery Restaurant 59 King St. North 386-3350
While the Huether Hotel's German roots still exist throughits service of excellentbeer (brewed next door at the Gold Crown Brewery), its menu spans thc globe. To cat-er to almost anyone, the basement is a family restaurant; the first floor offeers pool tables, strippers during the week and hraoke on wcekcnds and the upstairs is a great place for a beer ($1.25per pint or S12.25 per pitcher) or a casual meal. The service is great: it's friendlp,professional and fast. My most recent visit was precipitated by a call saying that they had a gift certificate for me. It turned out that they had read my comment card on which I wrote that part of my order had been wrong (I didn't bother the waitress at the time because it was a minor coinplaint and they were renovating so she had enough to dcal with) and they were givingme agift certificateto replace the item. It's great they're using the information from the comment cards to improve their already impressive service. The spinach salad ($7.95) comcs with a black bean dressing, numerous cashews, mushrooms and red and green peppers. The salad is a bit small for the price, but the black bean dressing complements the other ingredients very welland the cashews are truly a treat. However, I'm haunted by the mcmoqof their old salad (admittedlya cholesterolfest) with hard-boiled eggs, bacon, mushrooms and warm bacon dressing. The warm bacon dressing is stdl available, but I found that it clashed with the cashews and peppers. The new salad is nice for vegetarians and health-conscious people, but if 1had one wish it would be for both salads to appear on the menu. The Thai chckenpizza ($13.20 for a 14" pie) is ama~inglyinnuvative: a spicy peanut satay sauce replaces standard tomato; numerous soft cloves of roasted garlic deliver a lot of flavour but don't have the the bite of raw garlic; tender chunks ofchtcken andmozarella cheese soften the heat of pickled peppers. 'I'he crust is exactly as it should be, cnsp and yet slightly chewy. The pizza's big enough for three, but with two you get plenty of leftovers -and the pizza is also excellent cold. The perogies ($6.75 for 6) come lightly fried in butter, topped with bacon and fried red onion and with sour cream on the side. They were quite pleasant as an appetizer, although they would bcncfit from a longer frying time to give them more texture. For something more than a little different, try a stout float: a brownie and a scoop of van& ice cream are topped with a pint of stout beer. Each timc I've seen it ordered (twice -by the same person, no less), the waitress has had to checkwhether they actually serve it or whether the sign on the wall is a joke. It's not and whtle it's not as bad as it may sound, it is unlikely to become a staplc. Dinner for two, including two pints of beer, cost $40 plus tip. Visit www.huetherhotel.com for more information.

Althoughwe may not be able to easily identify it, mythology is present in today's society. Inanattempt toavoid controversy, I will leave aside discussion of whether or not Christian dogma is amodern myth; however, it is c e h t h a t i f t h e Christian beliefs do pass away, they will be considered a mythology. Nevertheless,mythscan be found outside of religion. Mythsare stones whichwere once considered history- heavily embel lished, that is. Modern documcnta tion often makes it difficult to exaggerate on many of the stories, but certady we believe tales that are not necessarily true. The first type of myth in modern smietyctmes G m o u r scientificworld - myths of discovery. Consider the story about Newton's revolutionary
tures. AprominentexampleinGreek myth is found is the Hymz to Deme/er. Here, a script of the Eleusmian mystcries is alluded to, as people re-en acted Demeter's actions after her daughter was stolen from her. All these examples are known as externalist theories, where mythographers explain myths as a reaction to the physicalenvironment. As a complement to this idea, internallst mythographers try to find
narrative structure of myths, nottng especiallythe events of a hero's life. The great diversity of Greek mythology ensures that it does not eastly fitintoanysingletheory.AsS.L.Hartls and G.

Why is Jason Grieves such a happy man? His team won a single game all season, but the future looks bright for UW women's volleyball youngestmtheOUA,as the Wamors featured six first year athletes. The exlstmg young talent, coupled with the recruiting efforts of Grieves and his staff, will make for an mexperienced but potentially dangerousWar nor5 squad next season "Even though our talent is young, I think we'll be competitive," said Grieves Grieves has also had a pe~vonal transmon to make,as hewas forced to leavewestern Canada to came to UW.

The movie is about six outwardly average individuals who have elaborate fctishcs thcy indulgc with surreptitious care. A mousy letter carriermakesdoughballs shegrotesquely Lngests before bed.

"Stoner rock " Docs t h term ~ mean an) thing Band5 such as Kjuss, U u ~ e rNebula, , to Tu Manchu and Monster Magnet helped to bring music of this form to the forefront in the md-late 1990s Of course it can be likcnccl back to Hlack babbath's origms, as can so man! t\pes of music xv~th~n the hard rock/ metal genres liegaidle\s, stoncr rochis now it5 own musical genre u ith a dedicated fan base It is packed with people who c q o j the f u n y guitar tone mterlac~dwith an upbeat rhythm section and often fronted bl a spacey vocal piesentation And given the term stoner rock, yes, sometmes fans and bands alike, share in sim~larrecreationalpast times Back in the late 1990sa band by the name of ICuthe sprung onto the Toronto music scene with its own brand of stoner rock Consisting of Chris Bender on drums and brothers Eric and I<ua Kuthe on bass and guitar/vocal\, respectiv ely, it was a short lived band, as they disbanded during thc week
their second album was to be released m 1999. I<urt has since gone on to form other projects such as Peacemaker, blekbik i2.1istrrss and thc soon to be releascd Itiihhun. Following the immediate breakup of I<uthc, Chrisand Eric stuck together, jammmg with various musicians in their quest to form a new band. Eventually they hooked up with Travis Cardinal and named themselves Sea of Green. Shortly after the independent rclcasc oftheir self-titleddemo, Sea of Green inked a record deal wth'l'he klusic Cartel in New York, and saw- their demo get polished up and re-released properly a few months later under the title Northern Lights in the summer of 2000. Since the early days, the Kuthe brothers were on the ballin promoting their muslc by finding as many contactsin the music industr) as possible, including the metal show "Spacc In Your Face" at U\\"s radio station, CI<MS. One of the most unique aspects of CKMS is that it houses ~ t very s own recording studio. Although bare bones, it's this back-to-basics approach that still appeals to many musicians. The recording studio can also be uthzed to allow bands to set up their gear to perform live and fully plugged-in on the radlo auwaws In June of 2000,I decided to try my hand at hosting my first live-to-air event on "Space In Your Face" with Sea of <;reen The mght was a resounding success and a fun t m e was had by myself the band and, of coursc, our dedicated listeners Early in 2001 Sea of Green
