Professor proposes campus prohibition Andrew Dilts IMPRINT STAFF

In an opinion editorial printed in the September 2 edition of the Globe and "Hail, Uniyersity of \\'aterloo Prof. nIohamed Elmasry called for a ban on alcohol on Canadian campuses, notably during orientation and graduationrelated eyents.

"Alcohol-related accidents, rape, assault, public disturbances and even death occur on campuses, especially during frosh weeks and at academic year-end, or graduation parties," Elmasry's message stated.

"It's our responsibility as adults and academic leaders to prevent the serious health risks and behavioural problems associated \'lith the misuse of alcohol."

"One parent told me that on frosh week, his young 18 year-old student got a package from the university. 'The university was proud that it has the best pub in the country, which is the wrong message to give to anybody."

Elmasry also received an e-mail of support from Henk Yan Andel, the current president of King's University College in Edmonton, Alberta. King's University College has been alcoholfree for 25 years.

An active community member, Elmasry also serves as the president of the Canadian Islamic Congress, though he reports that his editorial came not

from that position but from his experience as "anacademicof30years."

Wnen questioned as to whether or not he believes the University ofWaterloo would ever ban alcohol on campus, Elmasry supported the ethical side of his statement.

"I think it will give the right message. Ifanybody really wanted desper-

at?ly to drink they can go off campus ... they would be spared from manipulation by big beer companies, offering subsidies and free pizza, etc.

"Taxpayer money and student fees would not be used to build an on campus bar. They can use it on much better facilities like expanding the libraryor for other student activities on

campus."

Prof. Elmasry has yet to receive an official response from the University of\'{7aterloo concerning his editorial, but Impriflt spoke \V-ith some other members of the campus community on the issue.

International Astronautical Congress to feature UW students Andrew Dilts IMPRINT STAFF

Second-year electrical engineering student Benjamin Sanders has found himself in some good company recently.

Next week, he will present a paper entitled "The Need for a Yersatile and Reusable Hypersonic Yehicle" as part of the International Astronautical Congress, a conference ofindusrry leaders in aerospace-related fields being held in Yancouver.

Sanders' paper calls for a radical shift in flight technology that he believes to be long overdue.

"The imminent replacement of the remaining NASA space shuttles and the recent retirement of the Concorde supersonic transport have left a large gap in the high-speed transportation

industry," said Sanders in an inteview with ImjJlillt last Tuesday.

"Even today's best commercial airliners continue to grid-lock passengers at travel speeds which haven't changed in over 40 years. It is time to start pushing those boundaries."

Sanders' paper calls for the increase in use of''hypersonicvehicies,'' or those that would utilize technology that allows travel at five times the speed of sound. His presentation will be received by a panel of industry experts and could eventually be published.

It is important to note that Sanders is not alone at UW in his exploits to conquer the field of aerospace. 'The Waterloo Space Society's web page notes that 110 students signed up on the most recent Clubs Days alone. Imptint caught up \\-ith WSS past president and

co-founder Martha Lenio, who commented on the club's success.

"I am extremely excited about how the club has grown oyer the past few years," noted Lenio. "I feel we really have created a place on campus where students interested in space and aerospace can meet with similarly motivated people to achieve their goals."

Lenio and two other past presidents of \\'SS will be traveling \\-ith Sanders to Yancouver, presenting a paper on space education in the university community.

"Our presence at the lAC puts us in contact \\-ith more high-level projects that we can work on, more speakers to bring back to LTW and opens our eyes to more opportunities in aerospace that we may have been in ignorance of earlier," noted Lenio.

Sanders is currently the president of the Waterloo Space Society, the U\\' club formerly known as Snidents for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS). He has spent a co-op term working at MD Robotics, the company responsible for building the Canadarm, and spent time earlier this year as alead organizer for the Canadian Student Summit on Aerospace at U\\'.

Not surprisingly, his goal is to someday become an astronaut.

"With the X-Prize opening an increasing number of doors to space trave!,I think we'll see a greater number of people reach orbit, and I am going to do everything I can to prepare myself for that opportunity."

Indeed, Sanders noted that becoming an astronaut has been a dream of his for quite some time. \,{'hen asked

what inspired him to delve into the aerospace field, Sanders cited events from a SLX -week long trip spent canoeing around the wilderness in northern Ontario.

"I spent almost every night glued to the sky and the sight was so brilliant that I could almost imagine myself there," noted Sanders.

Sanders explained that he would have had much difficulty being where he is now without some serious support. RIM, i\ID Robotics, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UW's dean of electrical engineering haye all helped to finance Sanders' participation in the lAC, \V-ith the CSA also footing the bill for Lenio and the team of past presidents to participate in the conference. adilts@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

.How to walksafely~nCambtidge Walksafe rejected, buddy' system to be initiated Durshan Ganthan IMPRINT STAFF

UW students who leave campus late at night .need not fear for their safety as they can use either Walksafe or Ridesafe to arrive home unharmed; sadly, this i~ not the case at UW's, school of architecture in Cambridge, which has roughly 250 enrolled students so far.

"They potentially leave campus at 10 or 11 at night, and walking home ... whether you're with a buddy or by yourself, can be threatening," said Becky W roe, presidentofUW's Federatiol1 of Students. "The area of Cambridge that they're in, although beautiful during the day, has some interesting night life."

Al MacKenzie, director of Police Services, explains that they are lo~king into what can be done in Cambridge to help with security, as they currently operate the maw campus Walksafe/Ridesafe service.

"It's hard to do Walksafe [in Cambridge) because ,';e would have to use archi-

and walk h~me together, as many of them live in the same aJ;e~ off-campus and some live in the Same houses. ''We would help them if they w:anted help," says MacKenzie of the buddyup system, "but it would be best for the students to do it themselves."

The buddy-up system, though, is not a perfect solution. When questioned about the solution, Wroe answered, "It's better than walking alone. . "It's a short-term solution to a problem; it's not a solution [by] any means, butit atleast makes the situation a little better."

In addition to the lack of Walksafe, the school of atchitedureaIso lacks a security guatd.

Although Walksafe won't work, the issue of security is still a big concern.

"It's an issue that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible," Wroe said. "Obviously financingis a big deal. Police Services and the school of atchitecture have worked togetherto figure ot;lt what can be done in the shortr~n."

Aboriginal powwow a huge success Kate Cook SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

On Saturday, September 25, the first annual University of Waterloo powwow was held on .the lawn of St. Paul's United College.

'The reaso~ for the powwow is to help create a sense ofcommunity for the Aboriginal students and in celebration of the Fitst Nations cultute," said Jean Becker, a UW professor, Aboriginal counsellor and one of the organizers of event.

The exact number ofAboriginal students at U\V is not known, but Becker estimates the number to be between 150 and 300. In a school of 24,000, Becker says it's e~sy to go through. four yeats and not meet another Aboriginal.

Melissa Ireland, a third year rhetoric and professional writing studen~ and member of the Aboriginal Students Association, also . helped plan the pO\vwow. "So many people think [Aboriginal students] are not h.ere, butwe

Duncan

are, and the powwow was a great way to get the meSsage across because powwows ate gatherings that are open to everyone and a place to meet new people." .

According to the Aboriginal Students Association web site, the club celebrates Aboriginal heritage, and is also open to the students of . Wilfrid Laurier University because they don't have their own association. ''We want t~ put a face on'the unknown,"路 Ireland said. ''We want to show that Aboriginals are in contemporary society."

The theme of this yeat's powwow:vas "Honouring Our Future Leaders." It was chosen becailse, "In the Aboriginal cultures children are really important. We wanted to pick a theme that showed how imp~rtant they are to us and acknowledge their accomplishment of going to school," Becker explained. , The powwow was also open to the public.

Matgaret Clilrk, a second year political scien~e

student and non-native, took advantage of this.

"I liked how open it was. Watching the ceremonies, it didn't feel like, this was som~thing I wasn't supposed to witness or be a part of. Itwas a, 'Hi, how are you? Let me tell you who I am' sortofoccasion." . A group that played an important part in organizing the powwow was SUNDANCe, a body consisting' of staff, students, faculty and community representatives from the area of Waterloo, Laurier and Guelph. The group formed around 1996 to raise Aborigifial aware~ ness in the community and hold traditional native events; it also has a bursary fund.

The pO'W'Wow featured dancing, drumming, traditional food and attisan booths, as well as a silent auction with all proceeds going to the SUNDANCe Aboriginal bursary fund.

It m~y CQme as a surprise to' students, but the BO'arei O'fDirectO'rs Qf the University Qf WaterlQo's Federation of Students ~which has been in Qffice for fi~e months'- has never held an Qfficial meeting! . The bQard ofdirectors is comprised Qf four executive members, five nonexecutive members and the general manager'O'f the cQrpQration, whO' 'dQes ' not have voting privileges.

The Fedsexecincludes BeckyWroe (p;esident),J effHenty (vice president educatiQn), RaveelAfzaal (vicepresident admin and finance), and John Anderson (vice presidentintemal).

The non-executive members are Laura Cumming (applied health sciences), Jonathan Hart (arts), Steven Hayle (arts), Paul Lehmann (arts) and ~fichelle ZakrisQn (envirQnmental , studies). , With different executive members ' .coming from engineering, math and science, there ate ~tudents from all faculties on the Feds board. The grO'UP has been representing students since rpe beginning of May. The members were elected on February 13, 2004.

But why, students are asking their leaders, have they never held an official meeting?

President Becky Wroe dQes nQt see it as a problem. ''We have had three unofficial (where minutes were nO't . taken) meetings of the boar~," she pointed out. "The summer was quite

"The summer was quite a diffi~ult time to get an members of the board together simultan.eously."

- Becky Wroe, Federation of Students president

The Feds executive describes t'he wQrk it has been doing, such as reviewing membership in the Canadian Alliance Qf Student AssQciations (CASA). The exec has, also been activdy helping the architecture students in their O'ngoing transitiont? their new campus and representing their neeps to UW departments. ' Wroe alsO' PQinted out that the executive managed to' get the Feds budget approved in August, whereas the executive of2003-04, led by President Chris Edey, didn't have its budget

apprO'ved until NO'vember.

Wroe said she's kept quite busy as Feds president. "I frequently have , p,eQple dropping intO' my office to' discuss troubles with Feds .organizatiQns, proPQsals from outside cO'mpanies and areas where they feel the student bQdy needs to' concentrate."

Feds had many O'ther issues.on the table Qver the summer mQnths, including negQtiatiQns with PO'ssible CQntractors and UW surroundingspace renO'vatiQns. ''ThQse are the majQr hurdles we've 'jumped this suminer," Wroe said.

The Feds executive, althQugh it held nO' Qfficialmeetings last term, has a busy agenda this fall. The exec plttns to' cO'ntinue the Feds' invO'lvement in the OntariO' Undergrad~ate Student Alliance (OUSA) and CASA, prQvide further SUPPQrt to' architecture students, plan events for all ages .at Federation Hall 'and wQrk in the crucial area Qf student housing.

Every ye;r since 1986, the Theory ofBurgeromics has been subjected to intense study. And as you might expect, it has been proven well-done.

In faCt, several large fmancial companies went hust because they did not follow its tasty advice. ' Currently, the index states that the loonie is undervalued while the euro is overvalued. Scandinavian countries and Switzerland have grossl)' expen~. sive burgers. In contrast, most developed countries have really cheap currencies -'- in China it costs about one half the American price.· Emboldened by this initial effort, The Economist has introduced a more fashionable measure of curren~y exchange rates - the Tall Lane index.

However, this delicious product of Starbucks is only available in about 30 co).mtries. Whether this new index will go over well with economists is uncertain.

Most will probably stick with the older and juicier Big 1Iac index. Burgers are not all bad, you know.

Heather Fitzgerald is uW's student life co-ordinator, one of the individuals responsible for overseeing TJW's orientation ,veek. Responding to Prof. Elmasry's editorial, she highlighted the need to educate students to drink responsibly.

"We need to create an environment that encourages respons.ible decision making," she said. "I think it is important to treat students as responsible adults. Part of being a responsible adult is learning how alcohol consumptibn fits into your life.

"Our campu.s bars are well-run through Campus Bar Operations, a joint venture of the university and the Federation of Students ... they care abo~t their patrons and they are always takinginc.reasingsteps andmeasmes to ensure that students there are safe and there is not over-consumption of alcohol."

Feds '\ 'P InternalJohn Anders.en, who oversees u\V's student clubs and services, commented on the con-

tentious issue.

"Maybe you'll be 19 when you get [to university], maybe you'll turn 19 whert you're here, but you're going to make that transition and become le- ' gallyallowed to consmne alcohol. For many people, that's going to be a first.

It marks another initiation, much like orieQtation week ... a transition from one stage of your li,fe to anOther.

"If we'do not allow alcohol at all during our orientation week, it ignores the issues that surround alcohol instead of bringing that [to students] in a safe, acceptable way.

"Allowing students to learn about alcohol here on our campus, where they have the guidance and protection of their peers, of our highly trained, very effective bar staff and the UW .Police: it's just a much safer environ. ment for them to be in.

"If they don't learn those lessons here, they're goingto l~am themscimewhere else. And where is that place going to be? How safe is that going to be? \,\'e don't know/' adiltS@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

Off-campus housing iochange . Laura Katsirdakis EDITOR-IN-.CHIEF

Last lvfonday night,at a public hearing, Waterloo council approved the -City of Waterloo's Stud~nt·Accom­ modation Study in principle. This means there will be changes to offcampus housing in the future.

Accorditig to Ryan Chen-Wing, a representative ofBW students on the Student Accommodation Study.

Advisory Committee, the study,re:. leasedJ~ly 30,2004,was theftrst to address the problem of minimum distance separation (MDS)betWeen lodging houses in Waterloo.

"Generally, students wantto live. closer to campus, but [the MDS regulations] pushed them further away," he said, noting that many students rely on lodging houses despite the fact that the city ofWaterloo has implemented MDS as a way of preventing a ·"student ghetto" from fo~ming.

Chen-Wing explained "lodg1ng houses:' are residences that house more than three renters who are nQt related to eachdther. . "This study recognizes: the needs of different groups in the city .. ; , including students. It acknowledges that students are an important component of-the communitr,"£b.en~ Wingsai<t "OW", our students and perma-

nent residents of Waterloo have long advocated for change in the reliance on [lodging houses] as the basis for off-c~mpus student housing. While we agree with the recommendation to liinit the number of home conversions in single-family neighbqurhoods in favour of higher density studenthousingclose to the university campuses, there is more work to be done," explained a statementre., leased on Tu~sday by Bud Walker, UW's director of business opera- • tions and member of the SASAC. Becky Wroe, Feds ptesidentand member of the SASAC, conftrmed: "the Feds stand firmly.behiridthe report." She notedth~repcitl?s ;ec'. ommendation to increasehigh-den-. sity housipg: close to the university 'but pointed out this is "a fIrst step, not an action plan. There needs to be some sortofincentive to encourage developers to create .this housing."

Wroe explained, from the F~ds perspective! concessions :were made to the cityby allowing the MDS to be raised from 75 to 150 metres in return for the inclusion of arecommendation J)fincreased hl~~den­ sit}' housing close to the university.

"Council's proposed restrictions on converted private homes will·have a realimpact. They must be matched by equally~eal initiatives to create higher-densityhous1ng close to,the UW campus. To assume that zoning

in' the area is· the catalyst for such 'initiatives is to invite future student housing problems, andret an9ther stUdy on student housing," Walker said, echoing Wroe;s sentiment. . "There is no definite silver bullet here," Walker added, noting the problem will only be solved by work~ ing closely with both the ci!}' apd developers. 'We llee<i to continu.ally work with the ci!}' and try every positive'approach."

Waterloo has an unusually high populatio!1 of post-secondary stucients,becaus~ it houses two u;Uver~ sities. According to the· report, approximately 60 per cent ofUW and WLU students required off caJ:Ilpus housing in 2003.

Chen-Wing noted that since 1993 the size of first rear classes. has in~, creased steadily. 2004 is th~ ftrst year that the incoming frosh population has been less than the previous year. "[There are] restrictions on supply, , .increasing demand and the outlet valve [has been] housing further and further from campus," he said.

Acc01:ding to Chen-Wing, if the recorpmendation for high-densi!}' housing close to campus does not materialize, there will be more pressure on off campus housing-espe, cially lodging houses. '

Problems with drinking on campus include the trail of havoc ·that Bomber patrons leave as they walk to their respective homes after a night out. Trash cans'are often overturned, and the fountain· outside the math building may have been rmstaken for a toilet more than once.

However, the problems arising from drinking on campus will not be solved by banning alcohol on university campuses. In fact, it may even make them worse.

When the Bomber was closed because oflicensingissues last year, people did not S!Op drinking for the duration of its closure. They went to other, off campus bars. They would almost certainly do the same ifalcohol was no longer available on campus.

It is a valid argument that frosh are coming to university at a younger age, but let's be honest, if the young'uns want to drink they ~ find a way to drink. Fake IDs are nothing new, nor is the idea of drinkingin residence.

Guess what happened next? Another election. I imagine students were just running each other down to getto the polls and cast their billot!

This election put AlIi in the head tole with 46.5 per cent of the student vote. This election also happened to be the third one for the SSMU president in one calendar year.

WithAlli'srecentresignation, SSMU councillors voted not to hold another by-ele~tion. Tlie Daify reported on the lengthy debate on this issue. ''There must be someone clearly chosen by the people .... It should be left open to the students to decide who the president is," said clubs and services representative Alex Kemeny. Is this guy serious? Or is he just~sringrime so he doesn't have to start on his biology assignment?

From the perspective of one who. observes student politicians, iti~' clear that they often engage in such contrived in-fIghting arid idealistic rambling.

Good speaker, good points, poor logic

Graham Barclay

TYPE-IN-STEREO

The better a speaker you are, the less actual content you need to captivate an audience.

Irshad Manji was a great speaker.

Irshad Manji visited Waterloo to give a presentation on Israel, diversity and religion.

I don't mean to imply that she had no content at all; I think she made some good points on each of these three topics.

Ms. Manji said that Israel is a very diverse country, and gave some examples in support of this - fair enough. She also gave examples of very bad Arab (although she used the word Muslim on most occasions) states fair enough. She also made the connection that these Arab states

tional example of diversity. What about Canada?

I was given the opportunity to ask Ms. Manji a question of my own after her presentation.

Here's how the dialogue played out:

Me: You've done a good job providing examples of ways Muslims can learn from Israeli, or Jewish, society. Can you suggest one way that Israeli society can learn from Muslim. society?

1\1s. Manji: You're kind of putting me on the spot, why don't you tell me what you have in mind, so that I can comment on it.

Me: Actually, I am asking the question to see if you have explored the other side of the issue that you are talking ~bout today.

Ms Manji: Well, I like to think that there is more than She was able to just two sides to any given issue.

Me: Can you give me any convince me other side?

could learn from the diversity in Israel. Sure. Everyone knows that there are poorly run Arab states, and everyone, not only that she hadn't them, should appreciate diversity.

To this, Ms. Manji replied even Here's the problem. Ms. thatin Israel, she found many considered the people, particularly the Manji was able to state these obvious points but in myopinyounger generation, to be路very other side. ion she tried to use them to commercially oriented. and spend too much time in malls. imply much bigger and unsupShe felt that Israeli society ported theses. could learn to beless comtii~~1.路",,~veA'r~ Here's an example ofhow Ms: Manjicheated I thanked Ms. Manji for taking the time to in her logic.

The tactic she used, very well I might add, evant to Muslim society, but I don't even think it is true: I have found Arab states to be was to make it look like the answer "yes" to this very materialistic and commercially-driven. question made her speech a rearing success.

But then, if she doesn't have true knowlShe attempted to use the following logic edge of Muslim culture, how could she have Israel is diverse and, if diversity is worth depossibly titled her book "The Trouble with fending, then Israel is worth defending.

However, it is the coJiicept of diversity that I am hesitant to read the book, because I am is worth defending, not any individual state not confident in the quality of the content, but that exhibits diversity.

is wearing off. I\'e found myself saying "Hey" to complete strangers on the street, I exchange life stories with the check-out girls at Sobey's, and a Tim Hortons apple tea and cherry danish make me so much happier than is normal.

As an alien I have been exposed to a foreign culture and I thought I'd give my British view on some of the madness ... So keg party, eh?\"x'hat's that all aboot? I've been to two so far and have been inherently amused by three things: tirst, the sheer number of wasted teenagers who could (in all

honesty) have had a fairly substantial drinking history in the L1K, where on weekends the streets are not so much paved with gold as with unconscious drinkers. Second, the ohso-vile taste of the beer - I still shudder at the memory from last night. Ugh! It's warm, weak and genuinely horrendous! let the underagers chug it down like thirsty newts (you ha\'e newts here, right?).

Third, the police shut parties down? How hilarious! Obviously Waterloo lacks perspective on drinking laws and apparently has no real

crime to speak of. Drunk teenagers - it's some\\路hat easy prey, don't you think? It's not really like locating a keg party is particularly difticult.

Fo.r a start, if hundreds of intoxica~ed minors can find it, surdy a sober police ofticer is at a distinct advantage.

Also, keg parties are hardly renowned for their subtlety - they usually resembleAllilllalHollsemore than l\TO officer lYe're IIO! bal'illg all illegal part)' bOllse. The semi-naked cheerleader hanging from the balcony, the ten ,,'as ted guys having a

peeing competition in the garden, the stoners blazing in the dark, the tipsy girl telling everyone that it isn't the half cup of beer but she really 100"es them and the 200-strong crowd are a bit of a giveaway.

There really can't be much else for the police to be doing. I reckon the cops have a blast - they grab a 12pack (of doughnuts) and make a night of it!

This quote caused me great anguish.

Namely, I did not know what "ascetic" meant According to, MSWordThesaurus, "ascetic" meant"abstemious."That cleared things up.

Basically, Mcluhan felt that people must be taught social etiquette. Well Mcluhan, there's a new Marshallin town and his nanleis Dr. Herambone. Today

Instead, we are talking about common sense actiens that are integral for survival. Sayyouattend a party-youdonotwantto be shunned from the group because you do stupid shit inadvertently.

You know, you're right! My mother IS a woman! So are, I might add, the majority of my fotlllerwives and girlfriends! And I certainly have fought a number of duels to preserve ~ir 11Onour.

Wel4 Adam; I h.ope that whilst indulging in your world{amous sexual deviatiry,you keep in mind that it takes two to lang.o. Popular advice for yQ.ung men and, oddlY,joryoung women, often seems to be centred on pleasuring men. If a g1!Ydoesn 't know how to pleasure his female partner, he should keep his hands to himse(f, ifyou get my drift.

FinallY, I think the beSt thing that male university students can do is t.o cultivate friendships with women. From my three centuries of life experience, I've observed that theyoung men who seem to have the healthiest attitudes towards women are those who have female friends and regularlY socialIze in mixed groups.

~Craig Cardiff to rock-out Arda.Ocal IMPRINT STAFF

Warrior Nation-affiliated artist Craig Cardiff, the eclectic artist "prone to fits ofedginess and obnoxious honesty," brings his show to the Bombshelter Pub on Friday, October first.

In his more than ten year career producing and performing music, Craig Cardiff has earned a reputation for being a unique and quirky artist. He combines his talents as a storyteller with his love of folk music to create a show that captivates audiences with smart lyrics and vivid anecdotes, embedded in rich melodies.

Cardiff, a now regular to the Bombshelter Pub in the SLC, conceded fond memories of the Pub during}Us last v'isit in May. "It's neat to be -at the Bomber. I used to play here when I was 19 and 20.

I t's kind of neat to come back and see that thewa~i1rooms are still~i:f(the same state;o(di~t,epair and the room .'1'.

J""

.",:

still has its excellent, grubby vibe that makes it work. Some things just stay the same."

Since his early days as a UW stu~ dent performing around campus, Cardiff has now produced six albums, the most recent releases being Soda (2002) and Live at Ginger's on Barrington S treet(2003). The acoustic charmer also donated a track to the Warrior Nation charity compilation CD; Cardiffis "a big believer in the qui<>k and dirty" whenitcomes to producing his albums; he talked about placing more emphasis on "recording a moment in time," like spending a few days creating an album as opposed to many months.

Ten years would certainly bring many experiences, and Cardiffcarries a wealth of stories from his travels. Not many musicians can boast challenging the great Polka King, Walter Ostenik, to an accordipn d.ueL . "I was drinking copiously. I played

Bomber-style

the accordion, not that well; but I challenged him to a polka-off. Security helped me out [of the building] and that was sort of the end of that encounter."

In May, Cardiff was asked about a grander-scale accordion duel with uw concert programmer Marc Thususka, of which Cardiff is still aw.aiting an answer.

When askedifhe had any advice for aspiring musicians, Cardiff encourages people, with respect to the music industry, to "take advantage of -the new medium and realize that there are no record deals in Canada. Don'tlook at how things have been for models. :Make your own modeL" Tickets for the 19 plus concert are $7 for UW students and $8 for non-UW students.

I must admit that as a devout RPG fan, I have a hidden lust for racing games. A well-made racing game can potentially keep me up all night and playing until I have unlocked every track and car.

There Will Be il Ugh! isfheflrst'official f~llc length collab.oration by Ben Harper and the GrammyAward winning Blind Boys ofAIabama. The album offers listehers 11 tracks of funk, soul, gospel and blues and is a musit:al experience like never before. Many'of the.sOrigs; are Harper originals and there are obvio\is elements of his previous releases.

This album features country gospel classics like "Mother Pray" and "Satisfied Mind" as well as a cover of Bob' Dylan's "Well, Well, Well," not to mention a remake of Harper's "PictUres ofJesus" which was originally found on the Diilmonds on the Inside album.

This album kicksoffwith "Take My Hand,"

a funk inspired gospel tune thatindudes H~ er's tradtlmark wah-wah pedal, and is accompanied by a Fender Rhodes electric piano and The Blind Boys offering backup vocals. The album then. takes the listener through a progression oflayered vocals, eclectic musical instruments and gospel,harmonies with songs like "Wicked Man," "Church House Steps," '~·11 th Commandment" and "There Will Be a Light."

The only concern with this album was its length -approximately 39 minutes. How~ ever, this album is unique and is a testament to the musical,talents of The Blind Boys of Alabama and BenHarper. The Blind ~oys are regarded ,by many as one of the 'world's best harmonizing. vocal group~, and have been: performing together for over6Q yellrs. Harper is a musical genills and has a v(!ry deep musical soul that stems from many different musical influences likeJirni Hendrix, Bob Dylan a~d Bob Marley, He uses those influences to give him strength and to create something that is very enjoyable to listen to. , This album commands respecta~d, without a doubt, music fal1S will appreciate the" quality and the· beauty .of this collection of songs. , , Ben Harp~r is cur.rentlyon" tour with the Dave Matthews Band and will app,clj.! alongside The Blind Bo}:s of Alabama on The Late Show with David Letterman on October 11.

Two things stand out upon entering the Institute. First; there are ch;llkboards everywhere:Second, there"islighteverywhere. Light and chalkboards are perhaps the two most ·important things for physicists. It is onlynatural that they would feature prommenrly in a building meant to foster thoughts and theories on the way the universe works. .

The building, which cost over 5200 million, has a mixture ofprivate and public spaces. The main floor is anch~red by a large atrium that stretches the full height of the building. The glass ceiling and large windo",:s allow for plenty of natura,llight.

The auditorium will serve as a meeting place for public gatherings and' academic confer· ences. At the eastern 'end isa large auditonum that is capable of hosting just ovet200 people.

Like a virgin. blasting into space for, the very firs~ time Maybe ygu've never heard of Sir Richard Bratrson, the man who founded 'Virgin records (of Sex Pistols and Rolling Stones fame), established a radio station, crossed the Atlantic and the English Ch.annel in record time and was knighted by the Queen of England for "services to entrepreneurship."'\x'hat crazy, wacky, mixed up things do you think a guy like that would be doing right now?

The obvious answer is going space.

The new company is named Virgin Galactic, keeping with the naming convention established by Yirgin Wines, Virgin Trains, Yirgin Cars, Virgin Energy and, not least of all, Virgin Rec'ords (Branson is a busy man). Yirgin Galactic just signed a dea:l to have five "spaceliners" built in the U.S. These spaceliners will be larger versions of the SpaceShipOn~ design, SpaceShipOne currendr poised to win the famed X-Prize, Branson haS planned fot;. and around Yirgin Galactic for m'er five rears now, so this is by no means a spur-of-themoment idea: But ac~allr having designs and ordering spacecraft lends a sort of credibility to all the buzz.

The goal is to provide private trips to space by 2007. Want a ride? The cost is estimated atUS 51 ~O, 000 per soot - which, frankly, is cheaper than a ride on one of NASA's 52.1 billion space shuttles. It's estimated .that US 5100 million will be invest.cd. in both developing. th~ infrastructure and spaceship research and development. If you're wondering who would spend that kind of moner just to go to sub-orbital heights, ju~t think of it as the Ferris wheel of the 21 st century!

The Ansari X-Prize Foundation has been working for eight years to stretch the limit for entrepreneurs, rocket experts, innovators and space enthusiasts.

In spite of a,number of injuries, .the Warriors were able to defend against the exceptional movement of the U of T players through, solid forward pres,sure and stifling hits from the backfield. Second-year forward Ailison Pay put theWartiors on the board with a first-half rebound goal from a short comer. .

In the second half, adetertnined Toronto team finally solved Waterloo's defence. In the 45thrninute of

the game, Hamilton native Janet French knotted the scor~ atone apiece: Earlier in the day, at noon, Water• 100 defeated the McGill Martlets 2-1.

Warrior second-year forward Martina Mardlin and McGill's Denise Jaworsky traded goals in the first half of the contest. After being embarrassed 5-0 versus Waterloo on Sep- " tember 19, McGill seemed to be detlrmined to tum in a grittier performance. Nevettheless,Jessica Button tallied the game-wiruier for Waterloo in the second half.
