Are you an international student at UW ,vho finds tile tuition a little on the extravagant side? And have you ever justified this high tuition by saying to yourself, "\~! ell, I gues~ it's the same as they pay at other schools"? Think again. Figures supported by the Omario Underg1-aduate Students Association (OUSA) show that tuition for a UW international student as of2003-2004 ranges from$16,214 to $17,708. Now

compare those numbers to other universities: $10,950 at McMaster; $11,146 at Windsor; $13,980 at Queen's. According to a Incmo from Phil Haines, national program director of Campus Advantage at Brock, the Canadian average f()rintematioual students is $11,256, which puts the costs for IT\v's international population way above the nom1. This has caught the attention of Feds vice-president administration and finance Raved Afzaal, who was first made aware of the imbalance in student fees last year. "I went to an

OUSAconfercnce lastyearwhercI was representing international swdems and they were passing a policy about international students," said Afzaal. "They showed us the as to ho'\vintcmationa! students haye been suffering in the pa~t """ULH"" li'-Jat's when I differences. Int.,,)' basicallytaiked ahout the University of \'(iaterioo figures compared to the other universities and that's v/hen I noticed, 'W11oa, we're paying a lot more than at the other universities.' " As an international student,Afzaal

is able to relate the figures to his m,vn experiences. "J came to this university in 2001. I was paying $1,266 course) ruy first year. NnwI'm paring per course. That's a $400 ina term. "It's not to say that international student fees on average are so high [at all It's high for allirlternational students " added AfzaaL No one has corne right out and declared why U\V's international students pay through the nose - it has

nothing to do with deregulation, as international students in deregulated programs pay just as much as those in regulated programs -~ but the most prolific explanation is h'tat international students are expected to pay more since they and theirf~m-u1ieswere born outside the country and therefore have not contributed to the community or paid as much in taxes, and should pay more for education in return. It is a point of view Afzaal sympathizes 'with -- to an extent. See TUITION, page 4

Apetitionat Cadeton University seeking better maintenance of campus-ele\rators has garnered over 1,100 signatures. Many dents, and in particular disabled students, say the elevators break dowti frequently, making them late for class and puttingthemm danger of 'being injured. The vice president of Carleton's student association adds that the elevators are dirty and .that some are so small thatgettinga whee1chairinsideis difficult.

Stuqents' Council recently overturned the decision that required UW clubs to include a dls~ claimer on posters. Council initially made the decision to incluqe a disclaimer in August 2001 , after students complained about controversial anti-abortion posters. The decision to revoke this requirement was made at the April 2004 meeting, when council elected to replace the disclaimer with a Feds Clubs logo. The disclaimer on the club posters bas gone through many changes since the decision was made by Feds four years ago. The controversy started in the summer of2001 regarding posters. that the UW Students forUfe (UWSFL)clubbad placed around campus. Feds had received complaints about the campaign. Two posters in particular initially sparked the 2001 controversy. One poster features a picture ofa babywith the caption, "Is this the face of the enemy?» The poster goes on to raise the issues of the lack of emotional and 600ncial support that some women face when confronted with an unplanned pregnancy. .·*q'he,seCondposfet ~,a photo of, a: woman with the caption, "Did I deserve the death penalty?" and questions whether rape and incest are acceptable reasons to get an abortion.

. ;Pedestrian safetyis a constantconcem at UW; For that reason, UW has inst3.Ued "traffic calming devices"or bumps to reduce vehicle' speeds. However,manypedestrians cross the Ring Road unsafely at the DC, CPR a!1d PAC locations. Individuals might think that these "traffic calming devices" are crosswalks, but they are not. Crosswalks give a false sense of security. Not all motorists stop for pedestrians because they do not see the signs, while pedestrians walk into crosswalks without checking for traffic. In addition; bicyclists cross at the crosswalks (it is illegal to do so) withoutwatching for traffic. Crosswalks are also not used in the City of Waterloo. UW's J9int Health'and Sa~ety Committee is concerned with the nUmber of persons who cross Ring Road without yielding ttte right ofway , to vehicles. Pedestrians must yield to motorists except at intersections with stop signs. A serious

injury or fatality could occur when someone crosses Ring Road without watching for oncoming traffic. With limited sighdines along Ring Roaddue to trees and curves, itis really necessary that bicyclists and motorists pay extta attention to pedesttianswhen they are driving on Ring Road. "UW is reviewing the locations oftraffic calming devices only to non-crossing locations. Ids important that. students understand that the traffic calming devic('!s on the Ring Road are not crosswalks. For the safety ofeveryone at UW, pedestrians should use their common safety sense when crossing the Ring Road as with any road. Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians are encouraged~o exercise care and courtesy while using campus roadways and walkways for the safety of everyone. Don't he safety blinded, be safety minded. ~

rorism is to launch an unprecedented series of brutal terrorist attacks! The evenls of September 11 were horrible, but let's be honest - they werenothingunexpected. America has launched many cowardly and unprovoked attacks on weaker countries in the past. Why are they so shocked and upset when a portion of their generous gifts is returned to them? Let's be clear on our terms. 9/11 was a rightly called a "terrorist attack." However, when it's Iraqis who are brutalized, bombed and slaughtered, Bush doublespeakhas a different name for that particular brand of terrorism; it's called "liberation." Bush has frantically, and unsuccessfully, tried to draw links between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden .. A formidable task, consideringthe two were blood enemies and Al-Qaeda had issued several death threats against Hussein for his" evil" secularization of Iraq, i.e. teaching • women how tQxead, helping the poor and industrializing the .nation.· Many arc wondering why Bush persists in continuing his military oc-

If you want youth to vote, give them a reason community,;"

There are far too young voters involved in the political scene. So much so that these two w9rds have come to resemble an oxymoron. The apathy many youth feel towards politics has been recognized, analyzed· and dis., cussed by Canada's political forces, particularly as the federal election drew near.''Wh.y don't young people vote?" is the question many are asking and for good reason. In the last general election, Elections Canada estimated a voter turnout of only 25 per cent among Canadians 18-24, considerably ~ then the national average. So, with the federal election passed, every politician, journalist and youth activist is explaining why young people continue to be apathetic towards politics. Duringlastweek'slocal candidates' debate for th~J<,itchener-Wa terloo riding, this question was raised and inevitably produced arhunbigu~ ous answer: Politicians, they all said, are not makingthemsel~s relevant to today's y~i1th.

It is true that politicians do not often put forth policies that excite and involve young voters and in a way it is difficult to blame them.

Why Gmail just might fail Ard. Dell 811 1811E I really find all of this new hoopla about Gmail comical. It's on so many MSN names these days, that you'd think it was the "in" thing to do. For those who don't know, Gmailis the new "Godsend" of Web-based e-mail, provided by our good friends (and should-be co-op employers) over at Google. Yes, the widely-used search engine is foraying into the world of e-mail and has created quite a buzz for itselfinrecentweeks. Though their e-mail system is not fully released to the general public, people can access accounts byreceivingan "invitation" from someone who already owns an account. This ofcourse causes some major comic relief, as many rush to eBay and buy invitations for upwards of$20 US (but many are lucky enough to find invitation for a measly $1.50).

really think that the twin giants didn't already think of offering more storage space for their users? Yahoo! and Hotmail were perfectly happy offering less than 10 megs each per account because people were still signing (2 megs). So why is Gmail so in up to their systems in In a business demand? The major hook droves. I bet a phone sense, Gmailis trying to change the way you on this beat is that Gmail call took place between Hotmail and Yahoo! think of Web-based offers one of e-mail that went something e-mail by using its like this: massive storage capastorage space - just "Hey Hotmail, bilities to entice users about infinite times more how's the wife and to archive their mail, no matter what it is than perennial Web-based kids?" "Just great Yahoo!, (even the ones about champion Hotmail offers what do you think of natural herbal altemame offering 7 gigs of tives). It's even diffi(2 megs). account space?" cult at first to actually "Come on Hotmail, "delete" an e-mail don't do that, people from your Gmail acaren't screaming for it yet. Let's wait for some count. chump to introduce it first and then we'll both But Gmail has a tough hill to climb if they want to succeed at Web-based e-mail, espe-. capitalize on it." "Good idea Yahoo! Let's play golf." cially against Hotmail and Yahoo!. Did they

So why is Gmail so in demand? The major hook on this beat is that Gmail offers onegig of e-mail storage space - just about infinite times more than perennial Web-based champion Hotmail offers

gig

And capitalize they have. In comes Gmail with account space as their specialization and already Yahoo! has upped their account sizes for all users considerably, with Hotmail rumoured to do the sameinJuly. Think about gas companies colluding to keep gas prices high and in walks a newer (and more Google-like) gas company offering $0.49 /litre. How longwould they last before they were bled out of the market? The onlyway I see Gmail creating a significant dent is if they could create a fantastic alternative toMSN Messenger and Yahoo!; one so fantastic that people will jump right on (or pay $20 on eBaytotestit). The hype was bigandofferingtwo gigs in the future might even keep some people on board, but Gmail will hit the harsh reality of post-hype syndrome, when the big players will flex their arms and force Gmail into a concentrated niche - something like students loading up GmailaccountswithMP3s and giving out the username and password to friends, so they can search through the account for MP3s they want. Well, that's what I did anyway. aocal@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

The importance of being honest lia Jackson? That was her nickname man!"

One of my ignorant friends comes up to me and says, "Herambone, you can have your cake and eatit too!" What the fuck does that mean? Since when have you baked a cake and justwatchedit. No shit I'm eating this cake you stupid proverb chantingearwighumperand you can't have any. Sometimes it's good to be brutally honest with people. Heck even Willy Shakespeare wrote that "every man has his fault, and honesty is his." Indubitably, he was thinking of me. So thisotherignorant friend Habib comes up to me and says, "Herambone, I dated this girl TonyaJackson. She was from our high schoolya know.

FRIDAY. JULY 2 2004

S id r- anrespun THIS IS YOUR WORLD It is doubtful that 42 years ago the young Stan Lee could have expected his Spider-Man creation would have gone so far. As any kid with alunchbox will tell you, Spider-Man has become an industry in hi~self. In this era of global culture, Spider-Man has joined the pantheon of licensed images that are as comfortable in Tokyo as he might be in his native New York. Just as the initial comic book issue bec."UllC a sleeper success, so too has the silver screen Spider-Man. When the fIrSt Spider-Man movie opened in India, it made more in its first weekend than any other Hollywood movie up until that point. One might write this phenomenon off as yet another example ofWestern culture dorninating the local one, but this is where the story takes an interesting twist. Marvel Comics, the original publisher, and Gotham Entertainment Group, which holds the Spider~Man licence in India, will be releasing Spider-

Man India in the near future. \Vhile comic books and books in general are often translated across many languat:,>es, the Spider-Man projectisdifferent. Not only will the language of the story be adapted to the native tongue, but Spider-Man himselfwill change. Peter Parkerwill become the young Pavitr Prabhakarwho lives in Mumbai (colonial Bombay) and deals with local challenges. What is more, SpiderMan's enemies and locations will reflect the local customs and mythologies, beginning with Rakshasa, a mythical shape-shifter who will replace the Green Goblin. . "Unlike traditional translations of American comics; Spider-Man India will become the first-ever 'trans creation,' where we reinvent the origin ofa Western property," Gotham EntertainrnentGroup chiefexecutive Sharad Devarajan told the New India Press recently. The time-worn realms of myth and fantasy prove to be fertile grounds for stories to emerge as J.K. Rowling has so lucratively proven. Why bother to create your own fantasy from whole cloth, when you, as storytellers have done for ages, may reweave elements to suitlocal taste and habit? To a lesser degree, fans have taken this concept another step and written their favour-

ite novel, television, or film characters into their own stories. While it no doubt drives licensees crazy, this practice is only natural. There is nothing more powerful in the world of fiction than the audience seeking to identify with the central character of the story at hand. This explains why characters must not be flat, two-dimensional people, but rather flawed people dealingwithrea4 albeit slightly altered situations. Marvel Comics, with this licensing deal, will achieve the best of both worlds. By reacting to the audience's desire for a relatable character, they have found. a new market without and, by taking a globally recognized image and adapting to and adopting local elements, Marvel has proved that it is possible to have a global culture without a monoculture. The first Spider-Man comic ended with these words: "And so a legend is born and a new name is added to the roster of those who make the world of fantasy the most exciting realm ofall!" Perhaps this is the perfe~note to end on. With the publication of this first transcreation and as heroes and villains change for differing tastes, this will truly be an exciting world. nmoogksoulis@imprint.uwaterloQ.ca

dvertising abortion Abortion is, and has been for the past 15 years, a widely debated subject. It spans all aspects of argumentation from philosophical to scientific and nearly everybody has an opinion on it. It's one of the most important topics in any political platform and I think people need to stop talking about it. All this abortion discussion helps deal with the issue. Excellent. However, it does this in a very public way. Even the anti-abortion posters piss me off. They say "Hey, you can get an abortion, but don't." There is no such thing as bad publicity; No matter how you slice it, abortion should only be used as a last resort. Before that should come adop-

tion, the humane method of birth control. Bu t people don't think about that. I understand, though. Weare greatly influenced by advertising, whether or not we realize it. Unfortunately, most people are opposed to giving their child up for adoption. A lot of expectant mothers who I have talked to are usually afraid that the child will grow up "vith bad parents and not turn out well at all. Standard fear of the unknown. But do we know what happens in death? The problems with adoption are two-fold. The fIrSt being people's unwillingness to put babies up for adoption and the second being the unwillingness of un fertile parents to accept another child as their own. Granted: there are lots ofparents adopting children, butwith the increase in develop-

ment of fertility technologies, this may not lastlong. People are always seeking out ways to have their own child. This is again, somewhat understandable, but also very flawed in thinking. Sure, the child is not of your blood, but other than that, it's yours. People are hungup on having their own child, like they're living ttaditionallyor something. In any case, the direct result of this is an overabundance of children without parents. People need to work together in order to popularize this humane and beneficial practice. Unwilling mothers need to consider adoption before jumping to the popular option of abortion and those families who frown on the idea of taking someone else's child need to rethink their stance. -

Bush: the real terrorist Continued from page 7 Corrupt American governments sure have left their mark on the world. In their war of terror, America has bombed hospitals, small villages and marketplaces, left millions homeless and of course, made torture as regular a routine for U.S. soldiers as drinking, screaming and puking! It's a reoccurring situation. During thewide-scaleterroristattackthatwasthe firstGulfWar,theAmeticanannyused "fragmentationbombs,"intowhichthey sowed hundreds of deadlybomblets aimed at the civilian population.

people doesn't turn them into democrats." Bush and his thugs need to realize thatterrorism via suicide bombers in Israel is no worse than the state terrorism being employed by America in Iraq and elsewhere. When I think ofthe worst terrorist attack in human history,it would have to be the outrageous nuclear attack, by the good old U.S. ofA, .in 1945 agajnst the Japanese. Over 200,000 civilians were deliberately exterminated;-- a planned mass genocide - to tty to punish a corrupt government in Tokyo. Hmm ...a corrupt govet;nment be-

Thanks so much to all who voted for the Liberals and also thanks to New Democrats as well. A possible coalition between us has not only stopped the Conservatives, but has also saved our economy, the Kyoto Accord, same-sex marriage, gun control, abortion choice, millions of jobs and lots, lots more! Way to go!

Relaxed, itis less noisy (and "happening") than Front Row, simply because it is harboured by other buildings and not directly on the street.

Atmosphere Casandra

Arria Definitely more Irish than the other choices, even on the patio. The view could be better, though.

Size Casandra The smallest of the places we reviewed. Ania Much smaller, bu.t more intimate.

Price/ Service Casandra l'dhave to say average all around. Average prices for a pub, or a restaurant for that matter.

is to be expected. This is really a place to drink beer. Arda Decent burger prices:. You can definitely spend less than eight bucks here. Or come on Wednesday night where they give away路 free burgers starting at 4pm to the ffrst 40 customers.

Overall

The patio seems spacious and airy and because it lies along busy University Ave., it is easy to chat with friends who may be passing by on their route to or from the university.

Ania It's very much like the Bomber, actually. The patio is a condensed Bomber patio. Good view ofstudents walking to school, so there's a chance you'll say hi to one of your friends.

Size Caiantira This is a place where groups of two or more would go to hang out. Not a typical place where I would go on a date, unless you want to be disrupted by all of your friends walking by.

Casandra I would go there and hang out on the patio again, but I really don't like liow cramped and busy (in terms of decoration) it is inside. Arda Other than the hair in my nachos, it was great. Also a fan of the picnic-bench format.

170 University Ave West, Waterloo

Atmosphere Casandra I love Mongolian and now that it's patio season again, they have live acoustic bands on the patio. It's a place where you can sit back with your friends and enjoy the afternoon. Arda The view either looks like a pavement terrain, or a plethora or cats. At leastwe get a nice breeze as we eat. The live music is definitely a nice touch though.

Price/Service Casandra Our server was incredibly friendly and efficient. I'm not really a fan ofIrish Pubs, and this is The prices were average for a bar/pub, and the same in tenns offood as FaUte (beside Paddy , although they have VERY tasty (and interesting) Flaherty's on KingStreet),whichis owned by the alcoholic drinks, theywere a little pricey, but that

Size Casthndra The patio is not that big, because it is more of a restaurant; the patio is not the more popular attractions to Mongolian and you would be able to fit a large group of your friends on the patio.

Overall Ca.randm

Price / Service Casandra Not only does Mongolian have cheap drinks (Monday Martinis, Wednesday Pitchers, and Thursday Daiquiris), but they score big because if you get the "feast"; it is all you can eat. Also, bonus points go to Mongolian for the easiness to stash leftover food in your oversize purse. Atria Yes, Casandra really did btinganoversized purse! But aside from this option, the prices are high. Watch out!

Arda Being BomberJr. could have its advantages, like being within elbow room of the hot girl across the patio.

Arda Greatprices, especially on wing night (theirwings arefantasticl). Service was a little slow on the patio, though.

Arda Quitesrriail,and aJittle confined.B~teasy access to the food area, which is what I'm there for anyway.

Overall Casandra This will be my new Wednesday hang-ou.twhen Bomber doses for renovations (although I see that FrontRow is becoming popular).

Ania Good place fora date, but the patio doesn't sway my decision to come here. And thewinneris ...

Casandra Mongo-Mongolian! I'm a big fan of cheap "girly" drinks and massive amounts of good food and therefore Mongolian is the place for me! Arda McGinnis: Defmitely stood out as a "patio" place. And they had deaner bathrooms. aocal@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

Journey into jazz: a newbie's guide 'to intellect,' emotion and invention

Suppose you're someone who's never reallylistened to jazz. And let's just say, hypothetically, thatyou"ve just started reading an article about jazz. And now supposethat,giventherightintroduc~

tion to jazz, you actually liked it. Let's run with this. If you've managed to resist the wiles of jazz music, chances are you have some preconceived notions about

it. Some people think of jazz as an elitist art form, a kind of pretentious mood muSic reserved for middle-aged men who tweak their beards and sip expensive ports. Some people think of jazz as indecipherable noise. And still6therpeoplethinkofj~asgnash

ingguitars and screamingvocaIs, but these p«!ople are thinking of death metal and have no business being allowed anywhere near jazz. Let's be clear on this: jazz does not belong to intellectuals. Whileitis true that jazz is an advanced art form, and

'that jazz fans tend to be smarter than most (smarter and sexier), the music itselfhas too much universalappeai to be truly elitist. J~,in fact, began on the streets of America's cities. It emerged as analtetnative to the sentimental pop songs ofthe early twentieth century and the polished q-ooners who sang them. And so i~ remains today - still a refreshing alternative to the hollow pop'songs ofour time and the breasty ingenues who s.4lg them. At the very heart of jazz there has

always been invention, not ~.;. sian. Eveninits infanq, jazz played by its own rules. Borrowing from the traditions ofEurope and WestAfrica, ~jazzvisionariesinfused theirnew musicwithanincessantthythmicdrive. Theyexperimentedwithmetre,phrasing, harmonics and all points in between. This is where jazz gets its reputation as indecipherable noise. Instruments in a jazz ensemble behave in innovative, unexpected ways. Musicians break free from the immediate notes of the melody to create their

own original, spontaneous adaptation. Soloists ,maintain the absolute freedom to syncopate the rhythm or break free from the beat entirely, to extend the pauses between notes or to cluster notes together, to play by the underlying chords or to fly up and down the scale at impossible speeds. The result is exhilaratinglyvibrant. And man, does it swing! , 'But how is the average newbie supposed to understand jazz? See JAZZ. page 16

Levin's poetry asks funny questions Ian Blechschmidt IMPRINT STAFF

According to his press release, A.J. Levin was bomin Winnipeg during a blizzard on Halloween. 1bink about thatforasecond.1binkaboutwatchinga bunch ofintrepid, candy-fuelled youngsters trudging through snowswept streets, with their princess or ghost or pumpkin costumes blowing all around them while they try to fulfill another annual tradition that, forthem, has more to do with sugar than annual traditions. 1bink about how tragic, nostalgic and somehow hilarious that image is, and you start to get an idea of how it feels to read A.J. Levin's first collection of poetry, Monks' Fruit. Levin's sardonic cynicism pokes fun at itself while poking fun at the world that immediately stops it from being stuffy ortoo highcfaltitin'. There is a humani7.ing quality to a poem that wonders ifJesus, while he was losing. at bumper cars, would wotider "what would Judas do? .. He was always rather good at this."

Levin balances his ironic observations on philosophy and society with more empathetic poems, as welL There 15

Levin reminds the reader that things happened in the past and they sucked - and there's nothing you can do aboutit.

His short, quick lines seem to reflect the furtive glances and, flashesofmemorythats~together

DIET COlE HEAD Last year mybest friend and I came to realize that we are casuallyin love with drag.queens. 11en gettingglammed up andlip-synchingto bad pop musk just has an almost irresistible ironic appeal. Some of us are made uncomfortable by their genderbending antics, which is understandable. Butwhen you look back at history, dragis nothingnew. Fora long time, crossdressingwas a necessary element of theatrical performance.In ancient Greece and Rome, it was standard practice for men and boys to weatwomen's clothing to play female characters. In Elizabethan Eng': land, women. were .legally forbidden to appear on stage, so this trend continued. You might recall in the movie Shakespeare in Love where it was a woman appearing on stage - not a man dressed as one ~ that garnered royal controversy. . AuthorJonnoD.describedinUniiPped magazine how drag performanceslowlystartedcreepingintopopular culture. So-called "molly houses" in the 18th and 19th century allowed aristocratic men to associate with young boys dressed in petticoats and bonnets. This developed into the vaudeville dragperformances thatwere so common up until about 60 years ago. In fact, dU11ng the Second World War, even the U.S. Army was known to put on a crossdressing show for the boys overseas. . At s.Qme point, though, probably during the first halfofthe last century, drag was immoralized along with homosexuality. The nuclear family didn't care for boys in pretty dresses and high heels. But despite efforts to the contrary, drag refused to be put down. When New York gay bars and .bathhouses were raided by police in

RuPaulis an unstoppable force of fabulousness. the late '60s, a riot erupted tQ.at lasted .for days. Janna D. writes that the Stonewall riots forced the image of drag queens with bricks and bats (or at least some well-aimed high hecls) fighting for the emerging gay rights movement onto the masses. Since then, they have never had problems standing out. Popular music of the '70s and '80s often relied on arag, 01' at least semi-drag, as a way of getting attention. And more recendy, movies like To Wong Foo and Hedlvig have pushed drag even more out in the open. Unlike other transsexuals, drag queens are not trying to masquerade as the other sex in hopes of blending in. True, dragis a way ofexpressingwhat's on the inside - but the inner diva is' an unstoppable force of fabulousness. A famous drag queen is quoted as saying, "I do not impersonate

females!路 Bow many women do you knowwhowear seven inch heels, four foot wigs, and skintight dresses?" Oh, for the days of yore. It's about being noticed. It's about flamboyance and camp and putting on a show for one's adoring fans. Why else would so many drag petformers seek to emulate famous divas? I'm talkingJudy Garland, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and the mother of ill fab, Cher. You don't see too many Sally Fields or Susan Sarandons in the'mix. People that don't understand drag queens don't understand why Anna Nicole Smith, a woman who might as well be one, is so captivating to watch. 110st people are uncomfortable with drag because of its blatant homoeroticism, but drag isn't about wanting to be a woman; it's about wanting to be fabulous. \Xle all put on a show. Not all of us do it on television, 01' on stage, or at the recording studio, but we're perfomungcvery day.

Pantera -- "Mouth For War" What I like the most about this piece is the transitions from fast tempo to slow tempo ~ not only in the major chunks of the song but during the verse/chorus transitions. If you're looking for a must-have shin-kickin mosh pit kinda song, this is deflnitely: the one. The melody in the verse of this song was in fact so catchy路 that it was hawked by id software and used in the video game classic Doom (Chapter 3, level 1).

Anyone who appreciates the important roles that coaches and general managers play in the success of a sports team in any given sport will know that when one extraordinary person fulfills both positions, that leader must work exponentially harder than the status quo.

Blue Jays migrate to baseball cellar

Adam McGuire TWO-MINUTE WARNING There are long shots and then there are reallong shots. For instance, it is a long shot that a politician will ever keep a single promise; it's improbable that Jerry Springer will ever win an Emmy; and it's not likely that Ace of Base will ever write a good song. Butas bad as these bets are, they are all just long shots - it's not like the Toronto BlueJays ever winning another World Series. Now that is a reallong shot. Only 11 years removed from J oe Carter's historic title-winning home run that lit up the SkyDome faithful in October of 1993, the Blue Jays have somehow managed to morph into one of the most hopeless clubs in professional sport. And while the Jays usually manage to tease their fans into thinking they're a half-decent club in the ftrst few months of each season, they have been a lot more honest in 2004 - they have been wretched right from the start.

As of Tuesday, June 29, theJays record sits at 33-43, which makes them slightly more successful than doughnut-filled, beer drinking, slopitch teams. Infact, the Jays' bats are so impotent this season that they would be lucky to make contact with a high-lobbed softball pitched by a mullet-headed farmer. Jays fans try to justify their club's constant mockery of the game of baseball, but they're not fooling anyone. This year, the excuse-dujourwas injuries - offensive stars Carlos Delgado and Vernon Wells. have both been on the disabled list this season. But what the whining Toronto supporters forgetis that Delgado's batting average (.227) was lower than his weight (230 lbs.) before he got hurt, and Wells had a mediocre nine home runs when he was placed on the D.L. Although to Wells' credit, nine homeruns is the team lead. But ifJays fans think theirproblems are based in a semi-temporary offensive outage, they're more delusional than once thought. Toronto's pitching personnel knows as much about throwing base,balls as George W. Bush knows about long division. This season, the Jays tried to relive their glory days on the mound by reclaiming Pat Hentgen - a player who actually remembers when Toronto pitchers could record outs. But

Hentgen's mind obviously wanders to those championship memories when he's on the mound, be<;ause as his 2-8 record indicates, his mind is certainly not wrapped around pitching. The Jays pitching rotation reads like a list of has-beens and neverwill-bes. But that's better than their bullpen roster, which reads like a list of bag boys and grocery clerks. The once-glorious franchise has dug itself into an unfortunate rut, e where pre-season expectations translate into moderate on-fteld success until about the beginning of July. Then, inevitably, the Jays tailspin to a gut-wrenching ftnish before rebuilding empty hopes that will start the next season. Even through the tough times though,J ays' fans more or less stick with their team. Hey, nobody said Jays' fans were smart-they are, after all, Jays' fans. But with a'future as promising as an ice cube in Arizona, it may he a long while before Torontonians can rely on their baseballers to bring a title to their beloved city. Actually, the Jays may be so far off course that Toronto's best bet for a championship sports team may just be the NHL's Maple Leafs. Now that is a real long shot. amcguire@imprint.uwaterloo.ca
