Feds withdraws funding for Finkelstein Christine Loureiro IMPRINT STAFF

The controversy surrounding Dr. Norman Finkelstein continued this week when the Federation of Students chose to withdraw the funding they were to provide Students for Palestinian Rights (SFPR) in sponsorship of the June 13 lecture.

The decision was made at anInternal Funding Committee (IFC) meeting on June 15. The committee met and discussed the event, especiallyDr. Finkelstein's conduct,which Feds also saw as an issue.

According to Feds president Chris Edey, two conditions had been agreed to by organizers in order to secure Feds f u n l n g for the lecture. Firstly, there had to be security present; secondly, the question and answer period after the lecture was to be moderated.

"The secondagreementwasn't satisfied," said Edey. 'We couldn't extend funding to an event that didn't meet conditions we had set."

Representatives from the Students for Palestinian Rights were asked to attend the meeting. According to Ali Ahmed, they had hoped to explain why the event was unmoderated. Instead he commented, "They'd already made decisions before meeting with us." Ahmed felt their "time had been wasted."

Edey states that "The IFC made its decision in a meeting prior to the meetingwith the organizers.Thenwe presented the organizers with our decision on the matter of funding.

No argument was presented (in the IFC's view) that would have led to the IFC changing its mind."

Ahmed believes their reasons for goingaheadwith anunmoderated event aregood enough to keep Feds funding.

Prior to the event, there was no discussion between organizers and moderator Professor Barry Kay of Wilfrid Laurier Universitywith regard to limitingthelength ofquestions, arestriction later imposed. Dr. Finkelstein wanted the audience to be able to saywhat they wished. Whenmetwith objection from Dr. Finkelstein,Kay allegedly resigned from his duties and would not return despite alleged attempts by SFPR to come to an agreement about his role.

Kaywas approved by SWR and was chosen by Feds but SFPRwasnot aware the moderator intended to limit questions. SFPR believes that the responsibllity for the incident is not theirs. Acc o r l n g to Ahmed, SFPR believed that a moderator would be present to ensure that aulence members would not askmelevant quesuons.

Ulamately, Edey sad, "Conluons have to mean somethmg," further statmg that the Feds "decision was based on the two condluons of the agreement not belng sausfied."

Accordmg to Edey, the Feds arealso currentlyrevleurlngthe rules and procedures that govern special events on campus.If theywereto receive arequest to fundDr. Fmkelstem agam, Edey sad 'We would have to look at the specifics of the proposal, but I can't see us supportmg h m in the near term. We're takmg a look at all the procedure that govern extended fundmg."

In the future, Edey sald that Feds hopes to "sponsor events that are more beneficial to the campus commuruty as a whole."

All that jazz and the Keystone campaign

A sky-dancer was on hand June 18 to help celebrate the anniversary of the Keystone campaign's launch. The revelry led guests to a transformed carnival playgroundon the beach area between the MC and the biology buildings.

The Keystone campaign -the faculty, staff and retiree branch of campaign Waterloo -has raised more than $2.2 million since its inception in May 2000. The University and University Colleges are aiming to raise $260 million through campaign Waterloo in order to "enhance its ability to educate the leaders of tomorrow" with scholarships, bursaries, awards and facility improvements.

Will a real Canadian please stand up?

Kimberly Mackhan IMPRINT STAFF

Canadians are no longer depicted as being any one culturalbackground, race or heritage. But what does that mean? It means that a Canadian cannot be stereotyped as being of British descent -be it English, Scottish or Irish. Canadians nowadays symbolize a combination of culturalheritages and racial groups. This multicultural diversityis a consequence of centuries of immigration. We all have a parent, grandparent or distant relative who came to Canada as a stranger to an even stranger land. While less than 16 per cent ofexistingCanadiancitizenswere born outside Canada, immigration stiU maintains a significant role in shaping the character of Canadian society. Furthermore, StatisticsCanada forecasts that by 2016,visible rninorities willaccount for 20 per cent of our population.

As shifting demographics alter the complexion of our society, both opportunitiesand challengesareproduced.

One reason for this changeis that most immigrants today come from Asia, Africa and Latin America rather than from Europe. At present, with people ditching the countryside for the city, half the population resides in the metropolitanareasofVancouver,Edmonton-Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

Parents arenow attemptingto encourage an inclusive society and offer their children a "better life," but this situationlimits economicgrowth and contributes to social problems like poverty, unemployment, social alienation and crime.

Canada's official mottoAMariztsqtle adMare (From Sea to Sea) was originally established on a biblical scripture. The Canadiansof today, offspringofimrnigrants who built the Canadian Pacific Railway,have nonetheless refashioned this motto by blending the roots of

their past with the nation of their future. Lovers are making passion blind to the sour segregations of race, religion and gender. Instead spouses are being chosen based on similar

moral values.

Young women of various ethnicities are also surpassing their men to a greater extent in education, ambitionand socialvision.These "new Canadians" are grasping adulthood

much later than their parents did with the average age to depart from home soaring to 27 years old. Often it is young men who are remaining with their parents while their female counterparts marry older men.

Now that Generation X is older, the majority of those 3.9 million Canadians defy the label of their baby boomer parents.

The GbbeandMaiI'sErinAnderssen and Michael Valpy claim that this new wave of adolescents are not driven by corporate success or materialgain but by the goal of a balanced life.

AnderssenandValpy assert that young Canadians lack faithin Ottawa. Election Day has developed into just another excuse to head out to Wasaga beach. Moreover, Anderssen and Valpy admonish that whilst we display less political aggression and more admiration for "American Idols," Canada-now more than ever -will not become the 51st state of the US.

As we join in celebration on July 1 for the anniversary of "the union formation of the British North America provinces in a federation" under the name of Canada, the word Blowfish comes to mind. This sushi-serving restaurant hidden on the northeast corner ofKing Streetoffers more than expensive, exotic food. Managed by a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu and a Buddhist,Blowfish always has amosaic of people who come together to enjoy an enigrnawrappedin seaweed.This elite harmony reflects our Canada.

There is a great diversity of racial and culturalmix and agreater tolerance and openness in accepting one another as fellow Canadians. Canada's future depends on the commitments of all its citizens to a unified Canadian identity, while still taking pride in the uruqueness of their individual heritage.

Edey is hoping that funds for the project can come from the community, including campus departments, localnewspapersand design/archtecture fmns. Alsoinvolvedis theyaterloo Community Council,whichEdey describes as "an amalgam of neighbourhood associations [who] have petitioned for more housing provided on campus, so I'm hoping they'll be urllling to support an endeavour like this."

Should the proposal bc accepted, the contest is tentatively set to launch in Septemberwithan early December deadline, gving applicants the fall 2003 term to work on their submissions.

More details on the contest d be made available at that time.

Right now, Edey realizes that his proposal is "in the early stages," as he is still in the process of speaking to senior administration; he meets with UWpresidentDaveJohnson today to discuss his idea. If my conversation with director of business operations Bud Walker is any indication, it may take some swaylngbefore Parking Lot A is chosen.

"Over the last number of years we've thought of severalsites for new residences," he told me. "ParkingLot Ais one of them, but there are several others."

Furthermore, Walker gves the impression that student housing is not really a burning issue right now. "So far we've focused on the townhouses in north campus and the conversion

of more units at UW Place. There are several options but there's no plan or thought togo beyondwhatwe already have."

As always, though, the students must have their say as well, and early reception to the proposal from the student body seems to be quite positive. Fourth year drama student Jill Smith shared Edey's desire for more housing: "I think it's' a good idea because if I was a first year studentI'd want to know I have a place to live."

Meanwhile, the best criticism so far may be that of fourth year biochelnistry major Dave Gardonio, who quipped "lf I had that [residence] to live in, where would I park?"

Close to 72,000 students have notified the Ontario Universities7Application Centre (OUAC) that they will be acceptingan offer of admission to an Ontario univeristy. The Universityof Waterloo is one of the best prepared in the province for the double cohort.

A record of 5,322 students have conf m e d acceptance offers at UW, an increaseof 18.6percent over last year's admissions figures. In 2002, Waterloo was prepared to only acceptshghtly bellow 5,500 students. Theuniversity has been preparing for the double intake of students since 1997, when the double cohort was first publicized. In 1997Waterloo hadaccepted 3,735 students, only 60per cent of the students thatwill arrive this fall term.

Despite the massive influx of students, the director of admissions, Peter Burroughs, assures students that "we planned appropriately, all things considered." Burroughs also stated that despite "enrolling more f~st-year students than anticipated, it will be wellwithin our capacity to make sure they receive a quality education."

It also appearsthat the wave of new students wdl not have to sleep in cars and bus stations as UW has spent the

last several years building new residences and converting existingbuddings into residences for first-year students.

Burroughs assured that "our facihties are first-rate" and that all firstyear students who wanted residence accommodation would get it in traditional residence rooms, either singles doubles or suites. Thankfully, we can rest well at night, assured that the sky is not faUing and that the Universityof Waterloo will make it through the double cohort.

Same sex marriage legislation flawed Aaron Romeo COMMUNITY EDITORIAL

I disagree with the same-sex marriages decision. My issue is not about the rights of gays and lesbians. This is about technicalities, the rights of other individuals and the incompetence of our government.

Until recently, agay person had no legal sap in the rights of his partner. The government has taken a step in the right direction to rectify this problem. However, they have found an ignorant, closedminded way of going about it. Let me clarify.

The current ruling is offensive.

The constitution of marriage is common to all religions and the current ruling pen-erts it. Homosexuality aside, by the reduction of marriage to dollars and cents, you

are taking the commitment factor from a marriage, and insinuating that it is the best business deal until something better comes along.

Marriage moves, then, from a union that has been deemed the right in the eyes of (the religious) society to procreate to something that makes corporations richer by allowing people to spend more and give people the right to lay claim to proceeds if their union doesn't work out.

Who is the government to define a marriage? Is a polygamous union like a Muslim marriage any less? Why is marriage to a cousin illegal? Claims to offspring birth defects areirrelevant as gay people are not a self-sufficient nucleus to be able to reproduce.

Basically, why is the government being picky about who can be my

partner? And better yet, why should they get any benefits at all and I not get any as a single person. In the eyes of the government, should a single mother be any less of a family than a couple?

In addition, I think this new ruling is another step to reduce the rights of religious organizations.

Why are religious groups supported less than gay groups? Is it because religion does not pump as much money into corporations while questioning the ethics of corporations more than the gay community? This rights issue has a domino effect. We have to see the issues at hand, and ask why this cannot affect us in the future.

One reason why religious institutions are up in arms is because ofthe use of the word "marriage." By using the word marriage, we create multiple

definitions of the word. The government's definition of the term marriage is not the definition used by the Christian church (for example) if for no other reason that because it does not define marriage as a union valid "in the eyes of God." Why not create another purely government institution with a different name? Like have stage one common-law, and stage two common-law. We have the same thing for various other institutions like a bar mitzvah, which celebrates Jewish adulthood at 13, but for the state it is 18. hfy other beef is \vith the tactlessness of the government in their amendment to the definition of marrtage. hI1 understand~ngts that marriage is only defined in the Modern17ation of Benefits and Obligations Act. However, this

changes the way our Charter of Freedoms and our Constitution are interpreted.

I think changes of this nature require an issue to be brought to the forefront and not pushed through Parliament in the course of two months, when the majority of the MPs are away on summer vacation.

Before this law was passed, certain things were not possible.

For example, a man should have the right to decide if his spouse (male or female) will hare the plug pulled if the person is on life support. Even if you don't beliew homosexuality is right, a person's closest friend (which hopefully is their spouse) should be alloxed to make this decision.

This new step doesn't just fix the old problems; it creates a whole slew of new ones.

The pattern of human rights

As Canadian citizens, we are living at an interesting time in national civil rights. As the courts announced less than two weeks ago that the Canadian definition of marriage would be modfied into a more constitutional model, the entire nation has been swept into utter controversy.

What has resulted from the announcement is an apparent clash of agitation with celebration, along with a variety of opinions ranging from one extreme to the other.

Some call the court ruling unconstitutional in its own right, pointing out that major steps in the legal process were overlooked, forgotten, or skipped altogether.

Others (like the PM himselq account for the federal acceptance of same-sex marriages due to an "evolved" Canadian society.

Still there arc those who have come to greet the liberalized definition of marriage with their

arms open wide, pointing out that it has been a long time in the mahng.

With the national public opinion unable to agree on a singular popular attitude, it is apparent to me that the debate on same-sex marriages is nowhere near ending.

In fact, as far as I am concerned, it has just begun.

Call me crazy if I attempt to compare the fight for gay and lesbian rights with those of every other minority in this country; including but not limited to; women, Francophones, AfricanCanadians, Chinese, Aboriginals, Jews, and Middle-Easterners. Yes, under the magnificence of our federal officials,each of these groups has fought hard to gain the same rights owned by the white Christian male.

I wonder if society requires a certain amount of bigotry, prejudice and ignorance to survive. I mean, let's be honest here folks, what civilization at any point in history has ever treated all of its citizens with complete equality in the name of human rights? Certainly not present-day North America. We've just about ensured the suffering of anyone possible.

So, as I, a member of a fully-

fledged minority, struggle for the same rights as my friends, I can not help but notice an ever-present pattern. The pattern is this: it seems as though every few decades we single out another group, highlight their differences and "abnormalities" and argue why they deserve to be treated more like animals than humans (no offence to my furry, feathery and scaly friends).

Yes, it seems that once societal pressure and prejudice has ended in either "caving in" and gving those "darn minorities" their rights or putting them on reserves to shut them up, we conveniently erase our memories and pick on someone else. Why-dowe do this?

Fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the known. Fear of what our society might become if we succumb to the demands of just one more minority group.

I won't be getting married anytime soon, but of course I do look forward to the day that I do. I only hope that my newly achieved rights and freedoms will not be at the cost of someone else's. Let's break the pattern. Let's do exactly what isn't expected of us. Let's "evolve."

Defining the Laurier experience

Last weekend I went out to dinner with a former Ron Eydt Village floormate of mine and my two current roommates, both of whom attend Laurier - or as it's often curiously referred to, "the little high school down the street." After our meal, my former REV brother and I suggested we take the WLU pair on a tour of our turf.

Their mouths were falling open as we drifted around campus, from the SLC's fruitful shopping district to the, erm, impressive likemindedness of those occupying the MC Building's Comfy Lounge.

Sometime around the Fisher Price-meets-C/uckwur Orangt aesthetics of Davis Centre, they decided they had to let us compare our school to the allegedly high school-ish experience we've been missing. So we went to Laurier.

Don't let me go back. None of my roommates' horror stories, from the ludicrous meal plan demands to the bookstore tribulations, could have prepared me. I will never fault a campus for being small in size (heck, I can see some benefits), but there were no visible means of recreation aside from the Turret, the student

nightclub populated by underagers which won't even allow UW students in without a Laurier pal.

Then there are the rooms in Willison Hall, my roommates' old residence; they've got three in each room, which must take a lot away from that first taste of independence dorm life is meant to supply.

But as I walked through lecture halls with thin stairways, dismissal bells and missing ceilings, I realized the biggest disturbance is that the "high school down the street" metaphor is completely justified. It all reeks of high school, which I'm sure breeds accessibility for froshes but monotony for everyone else, and the last thing I'd ever want to do is go through that crap again. (If anyone from my old high school attends UW and is reading this, you were wonderful, but wasn't everybody else a dick?)

None of this would concern me so much if, despite it all, Laurier students were satisfied. But it's really hard to imagine that they are, considering how many of them berate the campus on a regular basis.

Now contrast this experience with the leisure time I've spent on our campus lately, which has become increasingly delightful.

Show-of hands: Does anybody cruise the campus on Sundays in between or apart from studying!

Me neither, usually. But recently I did just that, and outside of South Campus Hall I saw an elderly couple teaching a pair of

kids (their grandchildren, I'm assuming) how to ride their bikes.

Amid the laughs, the older gentleman picked a flower from one of our gardens and offered it to his lady. I don't care how many Vin Diesel movies you've seen, bro, admit it, that's sweet: As I walked on, I noticed that UW students are extremely friendly on Sundays, as their smiles and waves to this big-eared stranger would suggest. The day soon became a special occasion, as I explored the campus a little and crept into places that, after three years, I'd never been before. As it turns out, I like the Campus Cove, even though the last time I went into an arcade the original Mortal Kombat was still giving cranky Bible maidens coronaries.

I t was a nice and intriguing afternoon. It was typical of the UW environment, and it's just such a shame that, with the double cohort around the corner, a fresh crop of kids will soon wind up at schools like Laurier, possibly missing out on such simple pleasures.

Look, I don't mean to insult Laurier or any of its several enchanting blondes, nor is this a Sally Struthers-style plea to donate money to them. But should any authority at Laurier happen upon this, I strongly think change is mandatory, and I hope that the bulk of your students agree with m e . Guys, high school is over.

Let's 'Sex-ercise

TOUCHED Working a full-time job this summer has made me appreciate weekends like I never have before.

When the hot weather finally correlated with these two days of the week, I was overjoyed. I couldn't wait to lie next to the pool for two days.

My excitementwas quickly extinguished when I slipped on one of my bathing suits and noticed some winter "soft-spots" made apparent by my skimpy choice. I poked and prodded at these sites in hopes to locate some remaining muscle tissue, but very little was found. I vowed that I would get my butt in g e 2 and return to my trim self quickly!

Exercising can be fun, depending on the activity and sometimes the company, but lack of motivation is usually a problem. The key is to find an enjoyable activity that doesn't seem tedious. It's even better when the activity has other benefits. With little thought a solution was located; sex!

Sexual intercourse is both a cardiovascularand muscular

workout. It also has a whole list of advantages: relieves stress and pain, strengthens the immune system, cures headaches, clears the skin, the list goes on.

Doing- the horizontal mambo gets your heart rate going and the longer it lasts the better the workout. As with exercise, a varied pace increases benefits, &lung your heart work harder. So those of you who pump it like the Energizer bunny should think about altering your technique. Cardiovascular activities strengthen the heart and will increase stamina. Although you might stop mechanically pumping, be prepared for your battery to keep going and going.

If you decide to get creative and

diversify the angles of your sexual experiences from horizontal to otherwise, muscular endurance is very important. The ability to work it in various positions is a definite plus. Not only does straying from the missionary position spice up a sex life, but it will also strengthen your muscles and increase flexibility.

Comparing sex to other forms of exercise provides some perspective. Remember it was never stated that calorie-wise sex was better. It really depends on the type of exercise used to compare.

According to Dr Alfred Franger, (www.myloving.com) sex burns, "at least 4.2 calories per minute compared to 4 calories playing tennis for an average woman." Gyz America magazine offers a different scope stating that, "running burns approximately 600 calories an hour while sex burns anywhere from 60120 an hour."

With conflicting information it is h a r d ~ c o n c l u d if e sex is more efficient than regular methods of exercise.But really, does it matter?

In my books, spending a day in bed partaking in erotic endeavours beats going to the gym -unless there's some hanky-panky going on in the change rooms! Just don't get caught

by Arda!

Determining where sex stands in the fat-busting poll is difficult. One thing is for sure, the more in shape you are, the better your ability to romp between the sheets -or wherever else you decide to get it on. While adding sex to your workout routine is a great idea, to depend on it is only for the strong and horny.

I would like to thank my beerguzzling boys (you know who you are) for adding squishiness to my figure. Obviously they didn't provide me with enough attention to burn it off, but it will make my summer more interesting.

For ncxt winter I have created a pre-requisite for my drinking buddies: the &ngness to contribute in my new exercise routine. I'll be accepting applicationscomrnencing in the fall term.

A look at love "

Twenty-five years ago she wore the whitemasterpiece created by her mother. Twenty-five years ago he was late arriving thanks to his inconsiderate brother.

Our perceptions on love are formed by many things throughout life. One major contributor are our parents. In our society this impact can vary from family to family.

could be assumed that my parents who celebrated their 25" wedding anniversary on May 27 - have provided me with a very positive example on love. When actually, they have somewhat complicated my romantic pursuits.

Although my parents emulate everything I would hope to find in aunion, my interests have focussed on many not able to offer such a thing.

Love : that lasts from page 8

Coverage of lecture misleading Nada Basir STUDENTS FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTS

In the last Imprint edition there were numerous criticism of the lecture by Dr. Finkelstein with much emphasis on the thought of him being anti-Semitic, though not a single statement was printed to substantiate this insulting and outrageous claim. It seems that instead of trying to refute criticism of Israeli policies, Imprint and a few students on campus find it much easier to equate criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism.

We have several causes of concern with regards to the biased reporting of last week's Imprint. We feel that Dr. Finkelstein has been misrepresented and would like a chance to bring to light some of the issues we have.

Last Imprint's headings regarding the lecture were very loaded and misleading. "Finkelstein rouses racial tension at UW" or "Lecture on Israeli-Palestinian conflict sparks anger" are exaggerated and inaccurate considering the vast majority of the audience were so impressed with the talk that Dr. Finkelstein received two standing ovations, not to mention this is a political issue and not racial one.

Although h s lecture may have evoked strong feeling, as such topics carry with them much emotional baggage on all sides, the fact that a handful of people could not contain their feelings does not warrant the title of these articles.

None of the articles mentioned the positive aspects of the lecture, the standing ovations, the publicity, the big audience, the important facts Dr. Finkelstein discussed and the positive feedback from many students and community members.

A number of Jewish community members approached the organizers with encouraging comments, thanking them for the event and the truth.

Why were the positive reactions of the majority in attendance largely disregarded?Moreover, why were the organizers of the event not contacted for their comments on the outcome of the lecture?

SteveJonas's letter to Imprint

should not have been published due to its false accusations. He accuses Dr. Finkelstein of being a Holocaust denier and an antiSemite, which is quite offensive considering Dr. Finkelstein's parents were Holocaust survivors and Dr. Finkelstein is Jewish!

It seems that people and Imprint don't understand the seriousness of these accusations. Those who have ignorantlylabeled Dr. Finkelstein with these absurd names hare failed to give proof of anything he has said that makes him a "Holocaust denier" or "anti-Semitic." Did Imprlntinvestigatethese claims before publishing them?

Then there is the enlightened Mike Kerrigan who exemplifies his lack of understanding by stating that the Arabs began the 1967 war when it was initiated by a preemptive strike by Israel. Furthermore, he mentions Dr. Finkelstein's criticism of Israeli's engagement in Southern Lebanon in 1982 but omits the fact that the number of Lebanese and Palestinian deaths was over 20,000 in a four month period.

Kerrigan's article included examples of what Dr. Finkelstein said to certain audience members yet failed to make mention of the behaviour of those people. For example, "anti-Semitic," "you're a disgrace to your family" and "your parents are turning in their grave" was yelled out. Why was there no mention of the facts Dr. Finkelstein discussed such as Israel's defiance of international law and UN Security Council Resolutions, for example UN SecurityCouncil resolution 242?

We are extremely disappointed of the fact that your newspaper found enough space to dedicate five pages to critiques of Dr. Finkelstein's lecture without mentioning anything about Palestine week or printing an article submitted by one of the organizers on the conflict. We request an explanation to both the organizers of Palestine week and the student body for the misrepresentation and the biased coverage. It is time our student funded newspaper practised true journalism and not propaganda.

Finkelstein feeds stereotypes Sabrina Bowman JEWISH STUDENTS ASSOCIATION

O n June 10th at 7 p.m. in the Modern Languages Theatre of the Arts, a controversial man named Norman Finkelsteingave a speech titled "Israel and Palestine: Roots of Conflict, Prospects for Peace." Init he gave his view on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict in the Middle East.

Norman Finkelstein does h s research and his facts are often correct. He is also very well spoken.

However, through the conclusions he draws, he paints a very one-sided view of the 1srael-palestineconflict through which he places the majority of the blame on Israel's shoulders.

T h s was never an issue and the controversy surrounding this lecture was never about the legitimate right to criticize agovernment's actions.

The Jewish Students' Association USA) is happy the organizers of this event were interested in raising awareness and presenting their side of the complex IsraelPalestine debate. We are also happy that they share our interest in promoting education and understanding as a means of moving 'towards a just and sustained peace in what has become such a great human tragedy.

The problem with the specific choice of Professor Finkelstein as the lecturerwas that he approaches what is a sensitive topic with a complete lack of sensitivityor restraint. Professor Finkelsteinis not a Holocaust denier as some claim (his parents were Holocaust survivors). However, Professor Finkelstein makes generalizations about Jews and the Jewish community that feed traditional anti-Semitic stereotypes and lend themselves to hate mongering and racism. These are the reasons why the JSA were concernedwith Professor Finkelstein's lecture.

TheJSA raised these concerns with the organizers of the lecture and made it clear that we were interested in discussion and debate.

The JSA told them that Dr. Finkelstein would only serve to alienate the Jewish community and widen any rift between the JSA and other groups that already existed.

Our concerns were ignored and we were informed immediately after the lecture that there is a plan to bring Dr. Finkelstein again despite any follow-up conversation.

We also raised these concerns

with the Federation of Students and WPIRG. Once again, our concerns were ignored and ever since the lecture, these organizations have made no attempt to reach out to the students who felt alienated.

At the lecture itself, the atmospherewas tense and accurately reflected the racial tensions between the different groups. Mr. Finkelstein referred to members ofthe audience as "Torturers" and "Nazi-like", an insult that with all its past is especially hurtful to Jews. During question period a girl who was crying in response to his comments was accused of shedding"crocodi1e tears." He also said that "Nazis don't like to be told that they are Nazis," referring to members of the audence.

These were the obvious insults flung during the lecture. However, an even more telling example of how Professor Finkelstein misleads his audience and promotes generalizations came at the end of the lecture when, using his typical language and rhetoric, he accused major Jewish organizations of conspiring and using threats to pressure the Michael Coren show into cancelingan appearance he was supposed to have made after the lecture.

These accusations were metwith thunderous applause from the majority of the audience. Furthermore, following the lecture, the organizing groups issued a press release echoing Professor Finkelstein's claims.

In response to that press release Michael Coren has written an article in which he asks "Why did all t h s happen?" he goes on to deny Professor Finkelstein's claims and . calls the methods used by the groups who made the press release "the way extremists work" (the full article can be seen atwww.canoe.ca/ Columnists/coren.htm1).

Whether through insensitivity or malicious intent Professor Finkelstein makes generalizations and feeds anti-Semitic stereotypes.

The lecture he gave has alienated a large portion of the school's Jewish population and has increased the divide between groups on campus.

The Norman Finkelstein lecture has been an enormous leap backwards for discussion and understanding on our campus. We hope that in the future we can work together and bridge this gap, in hopes that something like this will not happen again.

Salam, Shalom and Peace.

Rebelling is a common stage in a adolescent's life and occasionally relationships were my tool to do SO. Introducing or even just dating guys that my parents were less than thrilled about was quite enjoyable.

Subconsciously I avoided my parents' model.

After I surpassed the need to rebel (well almost) I began to analyse my parents'interaction.

This had a negative effect, resulting in ridiculous relationship standards. Sure, growing up in a household bursting with love is an absolute blessing, but my dating standards seemed to equal the amount of love found in my home. Finding someone worthy was impossible.

Interpreting your parents' relationship is tricky business.

Everything must be accounted for which is difficult when you're dealing with undisclosed matters.

As we mature it is possible for our parents to confide intimate. details - depending on comfort levels a line can be drawn when sharing stories. Such conversation should be welcomed. For any hope to obtain a successful marriage we must turn to our parents for guidance. While planning my parents' anniversary party, many interesting tidbits emerged.

I have since learnt of my dad's alleged flirting with another girl at their initial meeting. The mention of complications apparent before tying to knot have also occurred, one being that my father's mother refused to even attend! These details have added to my thoughts on marriage, thus strengthening my own marriage goals.

Learning more of my parents' courtship has opened my eyes. It has taught me that nothing is perfect and that effort is required in every relationship. Attempts of avoiding or copying another relationship is a waste if time.

The acknowledgement of these things is all that is necessary. By having open lines of communication with parents we can take into consideration similar experiences that might assist in our survival of the romantic realm.

Seeingmy parents interact over the years has taught me what true love is. All I can do now is create my own version of this wonderful sensation.

Thanks Mom and Dad for everything, you're one of a kind.

Happy Anniversary! .

Don't be a spotlight speaker

For crying out loud, shut your mouth.

You are quite possibly the very reason there are endless debates with no resolution, spawning passionate rage and death in some parts of the world. Luckily at UL' you only induce unanimous groans of disapproval as the rest ofus shake our heads wondering why in the world you chimed in with your two cents in the first place.

For crying out loud, shut your mouth.

Mark Stratford, in his column "Big Ears Burning" last issue, introduced a v e n important topic that we should all wake up and realize.

Hubert Humphrey, former US. Vice President said it best, "The right to be heard docs not automatically include the right to he taken seriously." Such are my exact sentiments concerning a "spotlight speaker" -one who purposel!detracts from the point being discussed with a comment to make them appear more intelligent or passionate, but actually can evoke unnecessary consequences andin the end does not make them look more intelhgent. ~ r a f f i ton i posters aside, this problem is very apparent at a basic level at UW, even on the Imprint forum: people accusing posts of

Re: Lecture reflects badly To the editor, In the last edtion of Imprint, aletter written by SteveJonas was published under thetitleIrcturereflects badyon UW. Jonas writes in the opening paragraph that Norman Finkelstein "is a known holocaust denier."

Both of Mr. Finkelstein's parents are survivors of the holocaust and all relativeson both sides of his family were exterminatedin the holocaust. It is extremely serious to call Mr. Finkelstein a holocaust-denier and it is a very serious error on the part of Imprint to have published a letter making such a statement.

Although the opinion section of Imprint is meant to be a forum to allow the views of different students on campus, it cannot become a place for such offenses to be committed.

You should note that the Washington Post published a piece by an opinion columnist on December 3, 2002, in whch Mr. Finkelstein was accused of being a holocaust revisionist. Mr. Finkelstein threatened to take legal action and the Washington Post issued a retraction.

I demand a prominent retraction

"bad grammar" and "[using] simple sentences" before combating the main point, describing writers with "you're an idiot" or "you're just a fag an!ways." Luckily, people dedicated to quality often ignore these types of comments, but not often enough.

For crying out loud, open your eyes.

You aren't doing anyone a favour with your spotlight speeches.

In fact, you are a detriment to any conversation by presenting a nonsensical observation - you want to be perceived as intelligent and witty so you d l be well received and included.

Up attacking the comrncnter or group dmctly for having that point of view and not addressing their words, you take the debate on a wrong tangent that is not necessary and often dangerous. And that, from your more passionate brothers and sisters, causes much of the confhct happening ox-erseastoday.

You are taking free speech and skewing it for your own benefit so you can be h a r d . bur you aren't thinliing of the consequcnces that might occur. LSecause free speech is a right oft fought for (and rightfulljso, in all other contexts), you simply hide behind the fist of the activist, allowing them to fight the battle and win, so you can claim "free speech" as a scapegoat when you make your comments.

Such people enrage me so much that I would haw to write a sort of spotlight speech myself in order to get my point across.

For crying out loud.

I expect a response uqthout delaq.

Thank you.

If I wcre to try to envision what would lead up to the complete collapse of a previously stable society, I imagine that the current events playing out across the Atlantic would closely match that vision. Over the past couple of months hundreds of thousands of protestors hare dominated the countr!.'~ capital, resultingin a series of violent clashes with police and brutalarrests.

During the violence, numerous automobiles were overturned and burned and those who arrived to put out the fires were assaulted.

Other protestors are lighting fire to themselves outside government buildings.

Rotting garbage has been piling up in the streets attracting rats and hsease, and the vandalization and fircbotnbing of synagogues shows no signs of abating. Welcome to France, the corrupt, rottingcore of the United Socialist States of Europe.

France has been tryingto position itself as the guardan of international morality; strongly promoting multilateral institutions to ensure that the world isn't cast into chaos by the whims of aggressive American cowboys. Nothtng could be further from the truth.

The French are embittered by their current irrelevance after declining

censorship attempts against any personwho critically criticized Israel's discriminatory and abusive policies towards the Palestinians.

This caused him Censorship attempt at UW, a trend? to respond to one protestor in the To the editor, lecture by saylng, "In other words, you want me to shut up!"

"Anti-Semite," "Anti-Jewish," or Censorship in Finkelstein's case "Self-hating Jew," "Propagandist," was, however, problematic. Several accusations, alienation, and chaos pro-Israel groups and organizations are phrases and tactics used by attempted to prevent him from certainpro-Israel groups in different coming to UW through letters to the president of UW, the Federation contexts for one sole purpose: censorship of anti-Israelipolicy of Students (FEDS), and Waterloo Public Interest Research Group voices.

I am a founding member of (WPIRG), asking that fundmg be withdrawn.

Students for Palestinian hghts (SFPR), the group that invited Being Jewish, the son of Norman Finkelstein to the Univerholocaust survivors, as well as being sity of Waterloo (UW). an authority in his field, Finkelstein During most of our events, I was a challenge to silence. All have come to witness these kinds of attempts to stop the event or block

from major world power status, and they seek to enshrine the supremacy ofinternational organizations they can dominate to regain their influence. A clear illustration of the French agenda was their threat to block countries supporting the US. led war in Iraq from gaining European Union membership.

France's foreign policy is driven by soulless sycophants who are willing to suck the sweat off the balls of any megalomaniacal tinpot dictator who will award them a few contracts andlendinternational support Although Zimbabwean 'president' Robert Mugabe is restricted from travelling to Europe because of his rigged election, targeted starvation programs and brutal crackdown on opposition parties, he was welcomed into the country by dqdomats with open mouths and given the 'French treatment'. Human rights are only a concern when they occur in countries allied with the U.S. While they attempt to manipulate the international scene, things on the Irench homc front are rapidly deteriorating. The country has been devastated by a series of widespread public sector strikes that were sparked by government proposals to reform the pension system.

Poor planning and capitulation to union demands have created a system that will drive the country into financial ruin unless action is taken now, but the French workers are unwilling to accept t h s reality.

Contributing to the domestic difficulties is a large, unintegrated immigrant population. Mass immigration was required to rebuild

France's workforce after WWII, but the people themselves were undesirable among the 'real' French. To avoid having to associate with the other-kind they developed Apartheid-lite: a system of public housing projects aroundmajor cities where the immigrant population is relegated. In these projects known as banlieue, unemployment rates are as high as 50 per cent, crime is rampant and anti-Semitic forces are growing.

Unsurprisinglp, the spineless surrender-monkeys choose to actively avoid acknowledgng these problems rather than seeking a solution.

For example, a Jewish girl was beaten by a group of students at her schoolwhle teachers looked on and the entire group was let off with just a warning. Her mother sued the school but instead was fined 4000 for raising awareness of her daughter's assault bccause shc "used a fight between these girls to make people belicre that the French Republic docs not protect pupils."

O n top of all this, the French media is currently dominated by stories about a convicted serial kder who claims that he receiredprotcction from severalFrench officials in exchange for organizing cocainefueled, sadomasochistic orgies involving underage girls.

I'd argue for a decapitation strike and a round of nation building, but the result would still be a country full of French people. Annexation

by Switzerland is the only hope.

funding failed. This reality led opposing groups to the last resort: creatingnoise at the lecture and bashing it with unsubstantiated claims afterwards.

Finkelstein may be wrong or he may be right. Instead of calling him names, detractors ought to refute his arguments. In trying to prevent him from speaking, these people appear threatened.

T o me it seems as though there is a trend to censor any voice that is pro-Palestinian. Like Finkelstein said to the student who tried to block funding for the talk: 'What are you afraid of?"

In the past issue, I asked that my name be removed from the credit because the caption was changed by those who thought that it was too controversial, ruining my concept. The original cartoon showed one guy stating to another while observing a bawdy scene at a gay pride parade, "Until today I thought they were just like us."

The point was to opine that gay pride parades, originally designed to help reduce the stigmatization of the queer community, ironically now serve as a source of stigmatization when sexualized displays are included.

The result of the caption change, was that the portrayal o f a bawdy scene that was supposed to be targe~edinstead became a normal representation of a gay pride parade because the new 'joke' did not require the parade to be depicted in the manner shown.

That is something to which students can take more legitimate offence.

Spice up your meal with a chile-garlic stir-fry Kourtney Short IMPRINTSTAFF

Put the oil and chiles in a small pot or frying pan. Turn on the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 20 minutes, reducing heat if necessary, until the oilis spicy. Storein the refrigerator and use wherever you would oil for extra spice.

Chile-garlic soy slices So Soya slices are a variation onTVP (textured vegetable protein), a soyfood long used to replace ground beef. They have a chewy texture not unhke meat and, since they are basically tasteless, you can flavour them any way you like.

If you're cooking for a vegetarian, be sure to read the label on your bouillon to see if it qualifies. (Health food stores carry beef-flavoured stock that's 100 per cent vegan!)

In thegrocery store soya slices are on the expensive side, so look for them in bulk. If you prefer, you can substitute diced tofu, chicken, or another protein for this ingredient.

Chile oil 1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil 2Tbsp. dried chile flakes

2 handfuls So Soya slices 2 tsp. beef or other bouillon boiling water 1 Tbsp. chile oil 2 cloves garlic, sliced salt and pepper Place the slices and bouillon ina bowl.

Add boiling water to cover. Stir to dissolve the bouillon. Meanwhile, heat the chile oil over medium-low heat.

Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Once the slices have soaked for 10 minutes, discard the liquid. Squeeze the slices to remove any excess liquid.

Increase the heat to medium. Add the slices and fry until both sides are lightly browned.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside for stir fry, or use as

you would meat in another recipe such as fajitas or a stuffed pita.

Stir-fry 2 Tbsp. chile oil 2 onions, sliced 2 cloves garlic, sliced 1 bunch broccoli, stems chopped and florets separated 1 carrot, julienned or grated 5 mushrooms, quartered 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil 2 tsp. chile garlic sauce (optional) 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce or soy sauce Increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining chile oil. When the pan is hot add the onion and garlic, stirring frequently.Two minutes later, add the broccoli. When the broccoliis bright green and beginning to soften, add the carrot.

Two minutes later, add the mushrooms, the reserved soy slices and remaining ingredients.

Continue stirring until the mushrooms arecooked. Taste for seasoning and sene hot over rice.

1 hope it isnJtcatching

A VP'S EDUCATION The provincial goxrnment's 'announcement' lastweek that every willing and quahfied student in Ontario wdl find a spot in Ontario universities makes me itch with anger.

The announcement is a complete farce for two reasons. First, the definition of qualified has been increasing steadilysince OXC was eliminated in 1998. Students who were qualified last year simply aren't this year, with entrance cut-offs going up across the board in Ontario. Theincrease at Waterloo is between one and two percent for

graduating high school students. In arts, the increase is a staggeringseven per cent.

Second, the space just isn't there. Waterloo is agazn 500 students over their enrolment forecast for this fall. A similar situation at Laurier has their admin scrambling to find spaces for many of their incoming students. They certainly won't be in traditional residence.

How has this huge surge been addressed? The government claims that they've increased spending on universities by $345 million, which is in complete contra&ction of Statistics Canada, which found that government funding to universities decreased by two per cent since last year. In fact, Ontario is the only province in the countrywhere funding decreased. This probably explains why Ontario has the second worst per-student university funding in North America.

Of course, the Council of

Ontario Universities (COU), composed cif university presidents and administrators, is suffering a very dfferent rash from mine: it's one I like to call back-scratch fever.See, when the government claims they've

increased spending on universities, the COU is right there with them, tehng the government that they're doing a great job. They make no effort to h d e their tactics.They've appeared in three joint press conferences with the government in the past two months, agreeing that everything is going to be fine this fall.

What does this mean to students in this province? Well, it means that our portion of the costs of education have gone up - more than doubled since 1992.T o universities,it's meant a yearly decrease in spending of two to five percent- for four years.

The Tories also claim that their spending on capital costs is somehow unparalleled. That's not tme.

Spending on buildings in Ontario universitieswas near the Canadian average last year. Thegovernrnent claims that they've invested $1.7 bfion in Ontario universities but half of this is from 'private' sources, including the $4.35 d o n \Vaterloo students are paymg for the Tatham Centre. Well done, co-op students: you're an investing partner! Again, universities now have to spend a ghastly amount of money drumming up matched funds for new buildings - money they could spend on faculty.

Lastly, financial aid funding has f d e n through the floor. With the announcement of a second round of matched-fundingbursaries, we can ensure that only students at rich universities with big private fundraising bases will benefit. In the last last round of thse matchedfunding grants U of T and Queen's got 50 per cent of the bursaries, with less than 15 per cent of the students in Ontario. All of this is bolstered by a decrease in this government's spending on Financial Aid of $500 million between 1995 and 2000.

With the 30 per cent tuition set aside, universities foot the bill.

All in all, it makes me wonder what the COU is getting in return from their government backscratching- other than the short end of the stick. When our universities are underfunded, and overfull, it's time to stop the fever.

Notice: this review does not give away anythmg fundamental in the fifth book, however, those u-ho have not read the first four books should not continue reading.

In the fifthinstalment ofher seven book series, J.K. Rowling has increased her skill at keepingthe reader's ~ andthe nose in the book. H a q Potter Order ofthe Phoenix tells of how the wizardingworld is dividedinto those who do not believe Lord Voldemort has returned, those who support Dark Lord and the members of the Order. Its unfortunate release time has overlapped with midterms, hourever, that did not stop two friends and I from lining up for three hours to purchase the hook at five minutes past midnight last Saturday morning and spending the rest of the night reading. livid Harr!- Potter fans \vill not bc disappointed as Rowling spins another fantastic adventure. Hermione explaining girls to Harry and Ron, Hagrid's new magical creatures, hlr. \\'easlefs lore of muggles and a new group called the D A are among the charms of The Order oJ'tbe Phoenix whichlets us watchourfavouritechar-

ook lights it up

acters grow, change and &e.

As the story opens,it seems Rowvhg could not decide if she wanted to recap the other four books and after a few chapters appears to have given up explaining references to events in earlier narratives. At times Rowling seems to have changed her style, going so far as to have Vernon say "effing" rather than narrate 'TTernonswore loudly."

However, minor stylisticinconsistencies at the start of the novel do not mar the bookas a whole. Although long, the book does not suffer from a loss in momentum and continuous action. Mystery and intrigue keep the reader from studying for midterms.

Important questions such as why Voldemort tried to kdl Harry as a baby, how ghosts are made and what Professor Trclawney's fistprediction\vas are ansxvered,while others are lcft for the nest Harry Potter book.

If the Dome was open, some of the sound could have escaped and prevented some of the echoing! As my boyfriend, Pat said "It's like going to a rock concert in the grand canyon!"

Okay, so enough about my hatred for the SkyDome and on to the concert. We arrived at 4 p.m., an hour after it had started and Sum 41 was onstage.

We had already missed Swollen Members and Glenn Lewis. Our seats were Floors, sectionB5,row 11.

Avril Lavigne, one of the many performers.

When I read that, I Now I was skeptical about going to a ddn't think that we would be as far concert at the SkyDome because my back as we were. But, like I said, 11 parents saw Phil Collins there a few bands for $40, you can't really go years ago and said that it had terrible wrong. So we basically watched the acoustics. Theywereprobablybackin concert on the Jumbotron, because the stands, where the echoes aren't as we couldn't see the band actudyplaybad.

and came in whde Sum41 was playing.

Theywere as much as I expected. Then Remy Shand came over the waves from ACC. It sounded terrible andwe couldn't hearwhat he was singing. So we went out to look for merchandise and food. We found some clothng provided by Roots saying "I [maple leaf]T.O." and theconcertlistingwas on the back. Pat bought a shirt. I bought some food.

Our Lady Peace was onnext. They actuallpgot the crowd to standup and get somewhat involved in the concert, but still the concert hadn't proved to beveryexcitingso far. Nextwas Jann Arden. I think they double booked her for comedy and singing. Man her jokes were terrible! But at least the sound quality was getting better, we could hear what she was saying. And then came the loudest singer of all Avril Lavigne. Enough said. Diana Krallwas next, coming at us from the ACC, and1was really looking forward to hearing her live. Unfortunately, everyonein the SkyDomewas talking, and they didn't have the volume up loud enough, so we could barley hear her or her band.

Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, theBarenakedLadiescame on stage andlivened things up. The sound levels were as good as they were going to get, I mean hey, when I'm at a concert, I want good sound! see SARS CONCERT, page 14

How to start up a band, Heramb-style Heramb Ramachandran IMPRINT STAFF

(The.following article contains words and phrases deemed too sensitive for the anal& retentive. Reader discretion is advised. Oh yeah. . .to maintain political correctness the term yoonani" represents an amb&ous sexzral reference.)

There are sure-fireways of gemng laid. If you're a bloody Adonis, then welcome to sexville. But if you're only 80 per cent Adonis, there exist other available routes to scoring which don't involve the disposition of cash.

For the regularJoe, joininga band may allow for sexual gratification.

Notwith the other members! Good god no! They probably all resemble goats. Why else would they form a band?Cuz they lke music?Fat chance!

Bands are started for one reason and one reason alone, the arrival of poonani.

I've always considered myself a connoisseur of fine music. The Beatles, Paul Simon, MC Hammer, all gods in my opinion. But I also noticed these individuals were heavily influenced by music in dfferent

cultures. George Harrison had his sitar riffs, Paul Simon with his South African infusion, Hammer with his genie pants. Then I got to thinking, I am ethnic. Perhaps I can assemble other ethnicpeople and form the greatest band history has ever witnessed.

My ethnicity coupled with the poonani factor made us wanna start a band pronto. Hell, we didn't have a style or nothing but figured we could dabble in alittle bit of eveqthmg. We even had a name: "Ethnic Attack."

Ethnic Attack was the unanimous choice on account of our band'sdiversity. There were three members: I provided the keyboard and vocals, my Taiwanese buddy drummed and my big-haired Caucasian chum played the acoustic guitar.

Indeed, we were a true harmony of race. Our first album was titled Biger than Buddha. The songs on the album were the following, "Ethnic Attack," . "Eat my Wasabi," "Immigrants are Good," "The Bong Song," "I Like Congee" and the soon to be classic,"I Got my Citizenship Now Biatch so it's Time for a Divorce."

However, we didn't have any real charismatic figures in the group on

Ramacheddar's too legit to quit. account of us all being hard core geeks.

Yeah, that's another hint - a band without character might as well be another after schoolglee club 'cuz you

ain't gonna score.

So we recruited our fourth member off the football team, Indian Bill.

He was a 100per cent Cree, hence his

nickname. We made him play the spoons. You know you're not in a band for your musical talents when they make you play cutlery. His girlfriend wanted to join so we made her play the forks.

Our first single would be the selftitled tune "Ethnic Attack." It was darn catchy.

"We'reallethnic. Welikemath.We steal job. We steal your bath. We are tough. We like to fight. We even study on a Friday night. Cuz we're ethnic attack, ethnic attack, watch your back Jack." And we sang it in a minor key over and over again. Indian Bill provided some nice spoon play.

Our band lasted all of three days.

Egos simply ruined it. And no girls showed up to our gigs. Hell we had free beer and everythingto drown out our horrendous playing. My Taiwanese chum even crafted bobble head dolls of all us. It was funny 'cuz my Caucasian friend already had a big head so the doll was proportional to his body. Indan Bill even had a nickname for him, Nachlucuk. It's Cree for "White Man With Very Large Head."

DIET COKE HEAD Pulitzer Prize winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich once said that "Well-behaved women rarely make history." The feminist movement has always been characterizedwith fighting patriarchy, and by extension being disobedient, but modern interpretations of feminism take on a different approach.

When we think of feminism, we tend to think of the fight for the vote in the early 1900s, or braburning housewives in the 1960s, or even of the ongoing battle for reproductive freedom. However, where feminist thought is most visible in the modern world isn't through social activism, it's through the media.

Up until the '6Os, women on TV tended to be extensions of their husbands, not characters in their own right. That all changed

female actors, and is hailed as one ofthe best series in television history.

In the years to come, other female icons would soon grace the TV screen. Shows like Charlie's Angels and The Bionic Woman showed viewers that women could be action heroes just as easily as men. It should be noted that society was only willing to let these girls be heroines if they wore tight clothes and were beautiful. But s d , it was progress.

Fast forward to recentyears.

Feminism, at least as portrayed by the media, begins to take on new meaning. This is especially evident in the world of pop music. First with Madonna, and then with various other stars, feminism became synonymous with sexuality.

And while sexuality doesn't necessarily indicate promiscuity, it's a fine line. An artist like Christina Agulera gets upset when she's called a turbo slut, yet in the same year she releases a video for a song called "Dirrty." In that same video she wears a thong under leather chaps (and not much else) while performing a pseudo-lesbionic dance near overflowing urinals.

Her claim is that she is fighting for equality. In her mind, a man can be promiscuous and society doesn't twitch. But for a woman to be a sexual being is a cardinal sin.

"X-Tina" does make a good point, but there comes to a point when sexual liberation turns into something a lot worse. When feminist Aguilera turns all evil and skanky, she sends out the wrong message.

As author mchelle Malkm

X-Tina, new-age feminist? writes: 'From Madonna, to Britney and Christina, to the under-dressed teens at the mall, legions of girls have been raised to believe that letting it all hang out is the only true path to womanhood." Men don't know the difference between regular dirrty and "feminist-dirty," so in the end the age-old womenas-objects paradigm is being intensified.

Despitewhat anyone says, there

is nothing wrong with these women showing a little skin, dressing a little racy,and coming across a little slutty. But claiming to be some sort of Mary Tyler Whore, (representin' for the sista') is both tiresome and insulting to real feminism. Be dirty if you must, but just don't make excuses for it.

Hail to thee, 0 Radiohead

Radiohead Hail to the Thief Parlophone/EMIRecords Limited

Hailto the Thiefdebuted at number one in Canada and the UK, and Radiohead has been voted the third best British band of all time. It's no wonder I was excited to review this CD. Looking at the liner notes I notice that the song names are different than those written on the back. Then I see

beslde each name on the back there 1s another name written m parenthesis.

T h s IS the name that they used w ~ t hthe lyr~cs.You can always count on Radiohead to do somethmg out of the ordinary.

Hazl to the Thzefgoes back to the sound they had on OKConzputer.Most of the songs are based o n p t a r , piano and drums, and of course, Thom Yorke's vocals.

It starts w t h a very OK computeresque soundtng song, whlch exc~ted me because I preferred that CD over kzdA. But don't worry, there are a lot of weird and different instruments listed in the back of the liner notes, and heard throughout the CD. Hailto the Thiefis definitely one of those CDs you can listen to from beginning to end.. .that is if you like the Radiohead sound.

There areavarietyofdifferent styles on this CD: "Sail to the Moon," 'We suckYoungBlood," "Iwill" and "Scat-

terbrain" are very mellow, highlighting Thom's vocals and some weird instrumentation.

I really like "APunchup at a Wedding" because it has a cool jazzy/ blues feel to it, making me dance in my seat as I write this.

I also reallylike "Myxomatosis", it has a good groove and I like the syncopationbetween the singingand the drum (when the guitars cut out).

The &beatin"~ackdrifts"rnakes the song sound more uplifting than the typical Radiohead tune. This last trackof the album ends the CD on an up-note.

I could sit here and tell you what I like about each song, as they're all very different and all have great distinguishing features (unlike most music today), but I suggest that you go out and buy it for yourself. I reviewed the regularversion,but there is also a special edition available.

Mr. Manson menacing as usual -

Manson loses electronica style

Marilyn Manson The Golden Age of Grotesque lnterscopeRecords

Marilyn Manson meticulously motivates morbid mental memories in The Golden Age of Grotesque. In response to locals in Kansas City protesting his evening concert; Manson acquaints the following announce-

ment to his fans: "Don't smoke marijuana, don't do LSD. G o out and join the army! Be all that you can be! So you cango to countries overseas, meet new andinteresting people and kill them!"

This instinctive Manson controversy is here to stay.

Smear on the blacklipstickbecause Manson is back with another hard rocking album clocking just less than one hour.

The track "This is the New Shit," which also appears in the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack, enforces why Manson models his own mettle in his own controversial style.

Manson reverts back to his traditional hard rock style strayingaway from the electronica style in "The Mechanical Animals."

The drums are harder, the guitars are louderand the lyrics are even filthier.

Although not as dark as his previous albums "Antichrist Superstar" or

"Hol~wood",Manson still amounts a sufficient amount of abstruslve thought-challenging lyrics and emotion into the album. "mObscene" masterfully manifests mind-menacing momentum for the s h y k rocker. You will easily find yourself chanting with this catchy tune. Manson shouts "Be Obscene," which is later joined with the sounds of prepubescent children chanting along withhim.

This is definitely Manson's most peerless effort to date. He has returned to the timeless and old-fashioned style of hard hitung rock and roll!

Overall, The Golden Age of Grotesqae is a magnificent album with a plethora of energy. You will definitely be hearing more about this album in the future.

SARS Concert: feverishly good continued from page 12 They free styled about SARS ending with: "S-A-R-S, what does that spell? SARS! What are you going to do? QUARANTINE!" And if that wasn't funny enough, they put on SARS masks and did the chicken dance! They definitely made my night, and next time they're playing a concert in the area, I'm there.

Now after BNL played, a question came to mind, why do they always make the earlier bands sound like crap? It's obvious that the later bands are better anyways, so why make the earlierbands sound terrible. I'm yet to go to a concert where all the sound levels are the same throughout and where all the bands sound good.

Sarah McLaughlin came on the screen and played a nice hour set (as opposed to everyoneelse's 30-minute sets). She also came back for a onesong encore.

Last, but deanitely not least, the

Tragically Hip. Everyone at the SkyDome was waiting for them (they were chanting Hip, Hip, throughout Sarah's set. Good thing she was at the ACC). The Hip played a solid Hipexpected set and came back for atwosong encore.

All of the bands played their singles, except for Avril, who only has one C D and didn't have enough singles to fillher half-hour. I enjoyed the concert overall, but I have said this many times (and somehow always see myself in the same situation), large venue concerts are notworthit. When I go to a concert, I'm there to hear the music, and at alargevenue, that's really difficult.

If you missed out on this SARS benefit concert, make sure you don't miss out on getting your "Rolling Stonesand Friends" tickets.This show is July 30 and includes: Guess Who, AC/DC, Justin Timberlake, Sam Roberts,The Flaming Lips, Kathleen

Edwards, The Isley Brother, Sass Jordan, La Chicane and is hosted by Dan Akroyd andJim Belushi. Tickets for this show go on sale at 10 a.m.

June 27 and I'm sure they'll go fast.

Marion Bridge : Proudlv Canadian Marion Bridge Wiebke von Carolsfeld MongrelMedialodeon

Andrea Kerswill IMPRINT STAFF

Angleis everythu7g.Thelensofwhich a filmmaker uses says much about what they are attempting to emulate on screen. It is in this lens that the successes of any film are made. As such, the anglesthat arecreatedmake for the energyandvitalityof the film.

Filmmaker Wiebke von Carolsfeld takes thevery Canadian film Marion Bridge and allows the lens to take its time.The centreof the storyrequests that the filmmaker let what is happening on screen become its angle.

Based on the novel by Daniel MacIvor, Marion Bridge follows the lives ofthree youngwomenattempting to deal with their pasts, present and the futures in a cycle of changes and acceptances.Placedin the beautiful Canadian landscape of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, much of the women's discovery comes within the acceptance ofwho they were as children and inevitably who they have become. with this lingo that I have just dished out, I am certain that a few very uninterested males may flip the paper and hope to find something better. However, what makes this film amazing and worth praiseis its ability tonot become the norm.

With the genre of "chck flick" hanging over our heads, (thankfully from our wonderful American producers that bring you not only hgal4 Blonde, but Legal4 Blonde 2) it is easy to let this film pass you by.

What makes MarionBdgedifferent is its ability to tear into the lives of women in a way that is not sappy and overbearing.Instead it gives the audience small doses of emotion and hastily toughens up the typical abused youngwoman. There is drug abuse yes, there is lesbianism yes,

there are family secrets thatwould be material for any Springer show, however, the up-close and personal window of these women's lives makes the film a strong representation of women's roles and their struggles with them.

The toughest of these women is Agnes, (Molly Parker) who lscovers late in life that what she has been avoiding will only bite her in the ass (as they say). Choosing to live in Toronto and evading the east coast, Agnes returns to Cape Breton to help care for her dyingmother Rose (Marguerite McNeil). Her two sistersLouise (Stacy Smith) and Theresa (Rebecca Jenkins) hold much angst against Agnes for her old ways of partymg and living her life with an endless array of men and one-night stands. The relationships presented between the three sisters are reminiscent of many Canalan homes, adorned with old pictures, creaky steps and musky rooms. In all of this is the fresh look of the women in this film. Molly Parker and RebeccaJenkins are so full ofblue-eyed,clear skinanddark-haired beauty that it is impossible not to notice how they glow on screen. It is also interesting to note that the director uses very few male characters throughout the entire film, the only male character that is given much attendon is the daughters' father, and at most the attention is nominal.

Marion Bringeis entirely Canadian, and like many of us the chance to see the use of Canadianisms on screen will keep you commenting the entire time. Things like, "Did they say Toronto?" and "Hey, are those Du Maurier cigarettes?" kept coming out of my own mouth. If not for the Canadian enigma, Marion Bridge is a great film filled with the discovery of the intricacies ofwomen's roles, women's relationships with men, and the recognition of the importance of sisterhood. Take a look at Marion Bridge from your own angle and you may discover.something all your own.

MARGIE MANSELL

Jeff DeLoyde, fourth year environmental engineering, and Chris Hadlock, fourth year mechanical engineering, display one of the 36 solar panels to be installed on Fed Hall.

Moving one STEP closer to clean energy on campus Christine Baker -

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Things are looking up on campus these days.

Hopefully, by the cnd of the summer, so will you.

The Solar Technology Education Project (STEP), a student led group, is hoping to install a photovoltaic (TI? solar array on Fed Hall as early as L2ugust2003.

"This will be the first student-designed solar array on a uni~yersitycampus in Canada," said t h mechanical engiChris Hadlock, e f o ~ ~ ryear neering student and leader of STEP'S design team.

The array wd consist of 36 55-watt PY cells that d l produce about 2,500 liilowatt hours of clean, free energ!- a year. This will translateinto a savings of around 5200 a !-car. 'Thc energ!- produced by the PI' cells will be net-metercd to the unirersitfs utility grid. As a result, cxpcnsir-c batteries w i l lnot be required to store the energ\-.

"The grid-tied system we propose to install at Fed Hall will feed the electricity the array produces, back to the U W utility grid," saidJeff DeLoyde, a fourth yexenrironmental engneeringstudent and directorofSTEP. "lf the electlicity is not used on-site at Fed Hall, it can be used elsewhere on campus."

The project falls under the CX' Sustainability Project. It is entirely run by volunteers -all fundraising, research and design were done by students and professors. Over the past year and a half, around 40 volunteers hare participated, including members of the U W community.

Now entering its design phase, thc team is aggressir~ely pursuing an August installation date.

Installation was origmallp set for September 2002 but fundraising efforts took much longer than anticipated.Members of the teamwere able to raise $25,000 from 18sponsors, includmg the City of Waterloo, Toyota, Cnion Gas and UR' groups. The PV panels, which cost around $20,000,were donated by ARISE Technologes, a local solar energy company.

The project was designed to be an education demonstration rather than a research-based project. Its goalis to raise awareness of renewable

energj- sources by prominently displaying the solar array. The roofon Fed Hall was chosen as the perfect location because its 45 degree angle allows for good risibility from Ring Road and makes for easy installation.

According to Del,o).de, thc Federation of Students has expressed interest in having them apply for funding for apermanent display board.

"Ptl would provide educational info, background on the project, a list of sponsors and a real-time read-out to show electricity production," said DeJ,o).de.

As well, a fourth !-ear mechanical engeneering project is dechcated to designing a monitoring system for the solar array. Thc informatin collected by the systemn.ould provide information for professors to usc as a demonstration project or for future research.

The team is hoping that this project will the first of many renewable energy projects on campus.

"Possibkties include a solar hot n-atersystem on the roofofthe Physical Activity Centre," said DeLoyde."Solar hota-ater arraysare cheaper than PI7technology and can save a lot of money for buddngs ...that use a lot of hot water."

A PV solar panel is made up of a silicon base covered with glass and contained in an aluminum frame.

When the sun's energy hits the silicon crystals, electrons are excited and jump off the crystal and travel through a circuit. The movement of electrons is electricity.

An array is an instalation where many solar panels are mounted side-by-side.

It is unclearwhetherthe paper truly vindicates a vegetarian lifestyle. Far from being new, the paper differs from the association's 1997 position on vegetarianism only in a minor point of wording and in its inclusion of the Dieticians of Canada.As well, it has received little notice from mainstream media. Although aJune 4 Canadian Press article was devoted to the report, news of the association's position has since appeared in only three of the eight English Canadian newspapers searchable through newscan.com.

The current USDA food guide's continued exclusion of vegans is questionable since the association's endorsement ofvegetarianism predates the guide's last revision by two years. This omission comes as no surprise to readers of Marion Nestle's expos&of the food industry, Food Politics: H O D the Food Industg~ I@uences Nutlition and Health. In it she argues that many of the choices made in the development of the USDA ITood Pyramid were political rather than nutritional. For example,the suggestionthat soy foods be added to the milk group was met with hostility from the (American) National Dairy Council,thus they mere relegated to their current position as a footnote.

Here in Canada, the situation is no better.

Despite its associationwithDieticians of Canada,

Health Canada perpetuates the very myths that &us report dspels: Its web slte (www.hc-sc.ca) states that adolescents, pregnant and lactatmg women and vegans are at an increased nsk of nutnuonal deficiency. The same web slte drects Canadians w t h further quesuons to talk to a dieuc~an.Thanks to t h ~ report, s Canadlan denclans should now have the means to correct Health Canada's outdated information.

Debate gives insight on 'hot' topic Christine Loureiro IMPRINTSTAFF

A meeting of scientificminds took place during theJune 25 climate change debate between Greg Powell, of the University of Waterloo SustainabilityProject and Mike Kerrigan, President of the Progressive Conservative Campus Association. Markedly well researched, the isvo debated whether evidence of the existence of man-made climate changewas strong enough to warrant public policy to prevent it.

GregPowellargued for the yes side, prescnting evidence from the World Health Organization and the National Academy of Sciences, indicating that global climate change is taking place at an alarmingly accelerated rate, posing serious health, economic and environmental risks, which the human race may not be able to sustain. His well-structured argument included charts, graphs, and scientific data to describe climate change trends. Powell gave examples of carbon dioxide increasesresultingfromincreased use of fossil fuel and used changes in average surface temperature as the most accurate and widely accepted measure of climate change.

Powell said that by impleme'nting public policy to prevent man-made climate change, the economy will benefit, as wdl the environment, education, capital investment, 'green' start-ups and research funding. Powell advocated using the precautionary principle in environmental decision-making. He said, "We don't know what impacts [of climate change] udl be, butwe know they will be h c a y and not pleasant for humans. We should err on the side of safety."

Mike I<errigan argued that not only do the environmental issues at present not warrant public policy to prevent man-made climate change, but that the evidence supporting this issue is debatable. Armed yith documents from the Annals ofGlaciolog, GeophysicalRescarch Letters, NASA and more, Kerrigan attempted to debunk the quality of Powell's argument

brin$nginevidencedlatcontradctedthegenerally accepted principle of melting glaciers, and increases in global temperature. O n the latter subject, Kerrigan gave evidence of satellite and weather balloon data in an attempt to show that not only is climate change not proven to be occurring at an accelerated rate, but that division in the scientific communitycreates funher doubt

The climate change debate provided heated discussions on environmental issues. as to accuracy and~alidlt~ofevidence.

ICerrigan presented Powell's eGdence as insufficient, stating that too many questions remain to be answered, and too much contradictory evidence exists, to warrant public policy in support of said evidence. Instead, said Kerrigan,

As reported in the June 12 issue of Natzlre, scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered the well-preserved skulls of near-modern humans in Ethiopia, dating back 160,000years.

This discovery bridges the gap between our earlier ancestors, Homo erectus, and modern humans, Homo sapiens. Until now, no fossils from this time period have been found, making

Top volleyball recruit headed to UW Academics and coach influenced decision Rebecca Versteeg IMPRINTSTAFF

There are two reasons to suggest that the Waterloo Warriors Women's Volleyball team is headed into an exciting season.

Firstly, the team has severalpromking young recruits. Warrior coach Jason Grieve was able to select from a large number of potential candidates because of the double cohort.

This gave him the change to line up a strong and talented team for fall2003.

One candidate in particular is of specialmention. Jenna Schroeder is a 6'0 middle blocker and right side fromRegina, Saskatchewan. She has a connection to Waterloo because she trained with Grieve while she was a member of Saskatchewan's eliteprovincial team program. She was also in Waterloo as a member of the Canadian National Junior Team in 2002.

Jenna was also recruited by Dalhousie University,the University of Regina, the University of British Columbia and the University ofwindsor. However, she decided on Waterloo, and is enrolled in honours planning co-op. Her choice was based on her academic priorities, and her connectionwith Grieve.Jennais eager to make a contribution to the Warriors.

After being accepted to Waterloo she commented, "As a Warrior I would

like to lead by e x a b l e and use my knowledge of thegame to be a successful player at Waterloo.''

The Women Warriors Volleyball 2003 recruit list also includes four athletes from the London region. Hilary Lemieux, Kathleen Freeman, Jaclile Haddad and Susan Murray will also be joining the Waterloo team this fall.

These women also gained f a d a r i t y with the Waterloo Region and the University ofWaterloo campus at the 2002 Ontario Summer Games. They were members of the silver-medalwinning Southwest Region team.

In addition to these recruits, there is another reason to keep an eye on Women's Volleyball. The Athletic Department has shown an increased commitment to this team through a recent addition to their coaching personnel. Jason Grieve was hired in 2002 to be the university's first full time women's volleyball coach.

Coach Grieve, who has just returned from spending three and a half weeks with the national women's volleyball team,is highly qualified.He, was the head coach of Saskatchewan's 2001 Canada Games women's team.

Heis also a former Saskatchewan Vol1eyballAssociationtechnicaldirector.

This fall Grieve will begin his second season as coach for the Waterloo women'svolleyballteam. Heis pleased

Schroeder will team up with former coach, Jason Grieve, at UW this fall. with his recruits, andis anticipating a successfulseason.

"This recruiting class is aboutleadership and excellence," said Grieve.

"Itis my belief thatwe have added five hardworking, enthusiastic and competitive young people to the Warrior program. They will be the springboard for a nationally competitive CIS women's volleyball program at the University of Waterloo."

Reluctant franchises may have missed golden opportunities

TOP CORNER HOCKEY The annual NHL Entry Draft is essentiallyan exercise to test the ability of teams to accurately gauge individual junior players' potential to succeed in the NHL. At times, there exist specific negative knocks against certain players, whether perceived or real, that couldcause the players with questionable characteristics to slip down in the selections if a string of teams shy away.

Undoubtedly, many of the perceived risks about certain players will be shown to be unjustified over the due course of time. In the 2003 draft, there were severalnotable cases where teams passed on these players and may later regret their decision:

Championships with 8GP-7G-8A15PTS as an underage player.

O'Sullivan has scored 74 goals in 124 career OHL games and is arguably the most talented player in the draft. Sadly, NHL teams passed on O'Sullivan fifty-five times due to his psychologicaldamage suffered from the perverselyhorrific actions of averbally and physically abusive father.

Dan Fritsche Picked 46th overall by Columbus, he is a high-speed centrewith 78GP-37G-524-89PTS in h s OHL career. NHL teams unduely stayed away from Fritsche because he has had two shoulder surgeries from which he has fully recovered.

Konstantin Glazachev Picked 35th overallby N a s h d e , he scored 17GP-3G-4A-7PTSmth Lokomotiv of the Russian Super League. NHL teams abhor Glazachev's tendency to dlve but he is not at all lazy and he has a surprisingly good character.

Patrick O'Sullivan Picked 56th overall by Minnesota, he led the US. team to victory at the 2002 World Under-1 8

lgor Mirnov Picked 67th overall by Ottawa, spent most of last season playing

with Alexander Ovechkin on the third line of Dynamo Moscow. The widely read publicanon, The Hock9 News, wrongly critized hlirnov as only "average for Dynamo" in forgetting that he was an 18-yearold rookie in the Russian Super League.

Stefan Ruzicka Picked 81st overall by Philadelphia, he led the silver medal winning Slovakian team with 7GP5G-3A-8PTS in the 2003 World U18 Championships. Ruzicka was overlooked because he played for an unknown MHC Nitra senior team in the Slovakian league. Subsequently, The Hock9 News neglected to include Ruzicka in their top 100 prospects list.

Nigel Dawes Picked 149th overall by the New York Rangers, he led the 2002 Eight Nations winning Canadian team with 5GP-5G-7A-12PTS and 72GP-47G-45A-92PTS in the WHL. Alas, Dawes is only 5'7", 1701bs.and the old prejudice against small players continues to be prevalent today.

" F h e athletic department] uses [the fund] for excellenceoriented opportunities, such as travel to national

championships and supporting students attending the World Student Games," saidJudy McRae, dtrector of the department of athletics.

Duringthe 2002-03 season,several teams were sent to national championships with support from the fund.

Sixteenmembers of the women's field hockey team were sent to compete in Halifax. As well, atheletes in crosscountry, swimming, track and field, nordic skiing, men's curling and golf had the opportunity to participate in championships across the country.

This year, students are continuing to benefit from the fund.

Kyle Guembel, a fourth year environmental engineering student from Sudbury, attended the 2002 World ~riathlonchampionships in ~ a n c u n , Mexicowith some help from the fund.

He finished sixth in his division.

Matt Mains, a third year math student from Kitchenerwill be attending the World University Games in Daegu, Korea later this summer as a member of Team Canada. The Athletic Excellence Fund will be assisting with the funding of this trip.

"Some universities don't provide any funding at all," said McRae. "Students would have to self-fundraise."

"This fund is an opportunity for the athletic department to promote excellence in athletics at the univer- sity," she added.
