UW's solar car, the Midnight Sun VII, stops by the glacial Lake Louise, Alberta during its recordbreaking tour of North America.

The University oEWaterloo's solar car project began in 1989,but2004willbe forever known as the year Midnight Sun VII broke official and unofficial world records on a 40-day tour of Canada and the United States.

The tour began August 7 with the goals of setting the world record for the longest journey by a solar powered car andinfonning the public about sustainable transportation and renewable resources.

Midnight Sun VII broke the Guinness World Record for longest journey on August 26 in Blythe, California, surpassing the old record of 7,043.5 kilometres set by Queen's University in 2000. They also broke the unofficial record of13,OS4 kilometres (held by Australia) on September 13 in Mooers, New York. "\~Je're having a great time and everyone is dedicated to the car," said Emilie Smith, a crew member who works on the business team.

"There was a lot of pre-planning.

We had to put the car though some rigorous testing to make sure it was safe and finalize things with our sponsors."

Safety was on everyone's mind a~ter hearing news of the death of a

University of Toronto solar team member.

According to U ofT's web site, on August 12 Andrew Frow, 21, was driving U of T's solar car when he veered into on-coming traffic. The team was traveling between Stratford and Waterloo and was headed to UW to partake in the Canadian Solar Tour.

Frow was taken to hospital in Kitchener and pronounced dead. The tour was then canceled for this year.

Smith said that when the UW solar team heard of the news there was hesitation about continuing their own tour because some members of the team knew Andrew. UW'ssolarteamopted out of participating in the Canadian Solar Tour and instead focused on their individual goal of setting a new world record. They decided to continue on with this individual tour, which they dedicated to Andrew.

Smith was on the road with the team for part of the tour. She said driving through Canada and seeing all the different landscapes was exciting but her only regret was not being able to stop and explore the towns.

The tour wrapped up on September 16 and the team returned to UW, where a homecoming celebration was held outside Carl Pollock Hall. Visit www.midsun.uwaterloo.ca for more information about the Midnight Sun.

Warriors win rugby Battle of Waterloo in front of record Black and Gold Day crowd Adam McGuire IMPRINT STAFF

The UW men's rugby team has certainly shown their sense of occasion.

In front of arecord crowd of over 1,500 fans, the Warriors topped their cross-town rivals, Laurier, in a thrilling 19-17 season opener during UW's annual Black and Gold day on September 11 at North Campus field.

However, the win did not come easily for the Warriors, who found themselves behind 10-7 at halftime before rattling off two straightttiesin the second half for the victory. Although the UW coaching staff recognizes that the Warriors still need time to mould as a team, assistant coach Dan Ingoldsby said the club more than met expectations.

"We were pleased with the effort," Ingoldsby said. "There's obviously always room for improvement, [but] I thought our defensive intensity was excellent."

The Wattiors ignited the lively frash

week crowd early in the firsthalfwhen UW's Paul Auzins broke through the right side for the match's first try.

After Adrian Lui added the convert, the Warriors had jumped to a 7-0 lead.

IIWe were pleased with the effort ... I thought our defensive intensity was excellent. " - Dan Ingoldsby, Assistant Rugby Coach

The visiting Golden Hawks were relentless, however, as they cattied the play throughout the first half.,After a 30-yard penalty kick by Laurier fly half Andrew Ehgoetz put the Golden Hawks on the board, outside centre Graham Ball broke through for a try - which was converted by Ehgoetz

- to make the score 10-7 for the visitors.

Despite the relatively small stature ofboth clubs the game's physical tone was also apparent throughout the first half. Both clubs had a player sent off to the sin bin within a minute of each other. The half ended with both teams down a man.

The Wattiors seemed rejuvenated after halftime as the Waterloo defensive unit was able to keep the Hawks at bay throughout the opening moments of the second half. When Laurier took another yellow card and a 10-minute stint in the sin bin, Ingoldsby and head coach Craig Stuart knew their team had an opportunity to capitalize on the undermanned Laurier squad.

"The game is about looking for gaps," Ingoldsby said. "If they have one less [player on the field], there are going to be some gaps for us to exploit."

Caribbean students se·nd hurricane aid Neal Moogk-Soulis IMPRINT STAFF

At the beginning of the Fall 2004 term, students from the Caribbe~ have bee"n thinking about what home is like after the effects of Hurricane Ivan which devastated parts of the region over the past week: .

The UW Ass'aci~tion ofCaribbean Students (ACS) is spearheading the relief effort on campus. From Septemher20 through September 30, "the ACS will be running a relief ®ve in the Student life Centre. Sttldents will be able to drop off non-perish.!lble food items and necessities like clothing at the drop-off pomt beside the Multi-purpose Room facing Brubaker's.

Yasid Gilbert, the president of the ACS, said that many students were delayed returning to campus because many of the Caribbean airports were closed during the storm. He hoped in the coming days to be in contact with fellow Caribbean students to discover th~ir individual situ.:: ations.

The damage varies from island to island given the path taken by the storm. ACSvice-president Arnold Jacob, from the island of Tobago, said that while trees were knocked over and there was a lot of flooding in Tobago, the damage was nowhere as near as what happened in Grenada or Jamaica. The eye of the hurricane passed directly over top of Grenada, causing widespread damage to 90per cent of the buildings on the mainly flat island.

Gilbert, like many Caribbeans abroad, has

spent many hours viewing news reports from the islands. "Seeing the pictures of Grenada, you're just shocked. You've been there before and you know what it's supposed to look like.

It's upsettin,g," he said. Some news sources have compared the Grenadan devastation to the equivalent of theyolcanic eruption on the island ofMontserrat in 1997 that flattened much of the island.

ACS secretary AflnekeNewman was speaking to hermotherinJ amaica during the hurricane last Friday. ''You could hear the hurricane in the background," she said. While the eye of the hurricane didn't cross Jamaica, the extensive rain caused widespread flooding, especially in the hillier regions. Before the hurricane struck, Newman called Jamaica three times a day to get updates. Atpress time, she had only been able to speak to her mother Mondayafter family friend organized a three-way phone call using her L!ndline and hercellphone. Given the state of the infrastructure, only outgoing calls are possible.

For those away from the Caribbean it can be frustrating to be so far away. "I wishI could be back there to help," said Newman, "The worst part is not knowing what's going on."

In addition to the food and clothing drive, the A CS willbe holding a benefit party Septem-. ber 30 at the Bombshdterpub. Whatwas to have been a welcome partyfor Caribbean students will instead be a benefit featuring reggae, soca and dance hall music with proceeds from the $3 admission going to support the hurricane vic- . rims.

The Consulate General of Grenada has established an account at the d:anadianlmperial Bank of Commerce where funds may be donat~d at any crnc branch, includingthe one in the basement of th.;: Student life Centre. The account name is the Grenada Hurricane Ivan ReliefFund Account #2608731 and Transit #04702.

Road improve~ents ahead of schedule Constructiop. along Columbia corridor leaves few vacanc~es Tim,Moliison IMPRINT STAFF

On-going construction on Columbia StreetbetweenKingandPhillipStteets this surru;ner has had only a small effect on vacancy rates along the corridor. ' Since last summer, Columbia Street has ~een undergoing a facelift to widen the roadway from tWo to four lanes;-water main and storm sewer replacements have been un.dertaken' at the same t:im.e.

"Th~ project is.currently ahead of schedule," sa~d Doug Horst of Stantec Consulting, who is overseeing the project. "[The contractors] have been great.',' He noted that although this spring's inclement, weather could have kept the project behind, work did not stop and, as a reswt, the project will be complete far ahead of its original due date of November 30. ''We're looking at somewhere in around the first of October to the fifteenth," he said.

Many 'for rent'signs were still up in the uncompletedsection between Albert and Phillip streets during frosh week, h<?weverwhen contacted

The recently.releasedStudentAccommOdationStudy that goes to council on Monday, September 27 recommends Columbia , Street be allowed to develop into three and four-story multiple unit buildings such as the one at 100 University Avenue.

When asked if she would sell her house to a developer looking to put up one of these buildings, Huegle replied ''Definitely. Everythingis for sale if the price is right."

Iraq

ethod or

FOREIGN MATTERS A friend of mine recently said, "It's crazywhatis goingonin Iraq. It's crazy that they are killing each other."

It's true that every so often a bomb or a raid kills scores of people in Iraq.

However, all of the factions involved still have a purpose and strategy. That purpose is so important to all sides that they spend piles of money and sacrifice lives to achieve it.

So who are the parties and what are their purposes and strategies?

Let's take theinsurgents. These are a diverse group. They include Saddam's sUpp01ters, religious militias (e.g. al-Sadrfighters), foreign fighters (with al-Qaeda links) and insurgent forces sent by the neighbouring countries -especially Syria and Iran.

These four groups have many differences; the goal they all share is to get rid of the U.S.-led coalition and tl1.e coalition-backed government.

The strategy of the insurgents in-, volves killing as many people as they can. First, they kill coalition soldiers and civilians. This tL'1dermines the domestic support t~Jr the war. ~cco!,ld, they target Iraqi gOYernmentinsritutions (like police stations) and kill Iraqis who co-operate with the new Ira"1i government, This slows down the establishment ofIraqi forces that could deal with the insurgents.

And finally, they target ordinary Iraqis to create chaos and bring the country into a civil war.

The goals of American forces and the other coalition nations have been

adness?

under intense debate. The official version is that the coalition went to Iraq to disarm Hussein's regime and to build a ftee and democratic nation.

The U.S.-led coalition claims that Hussein was supporting terrorist groups and may have been involved with al-Qaeda. However, many people think that the real reason for the invasion was Iraq's oil.

Naysayers claimthatthewaris aimed at colonizing Iraq and its oil wealth.

Evidence suggests thatterrotismwas indeed the main cause for American involvement. September 11 has changed the focus ofAmerica's intemationalefforts towards d1epreventionof anothersuchattocity.

As I see it, this can only be done on two levels: the state level and the moral level. On the state level, terrorists rely on the support of governtnents (like Afghanistan's Taliban). In particular, al-Qaeda needs training bases and access to weapons of mass destruction.

The Iraqi intelligence service had been involved in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Centre - it even occurred exactly two years after the end of the first Gulf War. There is no question that Hussein's Iraq supported several terrorist groups.

It is possible that haq has contracted al-Qaeda to "finish the job," hence 9/11. Also, we know that I rag used to have acriveweaponsptograms.

Some ofthese nasty weapons could still bc bUi1cd somewhere in the Iraqi desert. Frofi1 the coalition~s point of ,dew, attackingli-a(l would also put its fixces at the centre of fhe stnregically important Nuddle East.

From Iraq, the coalition could apply military pressure on Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. All three nations have provided support to the insurgents attacking coalition forces. These three nations worry the most about the coalition being sU,ccessfulin Iraq.

The second level on which to defeat terrorists is the moral/ ideological level.

I thas been suggested that the threat of terrorism can ultimately be dealtwith only if societies that harbour terrorists become democratic and prosperous.

Coalition forces have decided that Iraq would be a good place to start the transformation to d~mocracy.

Moreover, the attack on Iraq could be justified as an act ofliberation. After all, the conditions of the Iraqis could not have gotten much worse. The massive amounts of money poured into rebuilding Iraq since the war strongly support this line of thinking.

While terrorism surely dominated coalition thinking, oil was not entirely forgotten. After all, Iraq does have large oil reserves.

Byinstallinga fricndlyregimeinIraq, the coalition may be hoping to undermine the OPEC oil cartel (OPEC was fOimed to infutt~ the prices of oil), The benefits to the world economywould be noticeable but still insignificant compared \vith the cost of terrorism.

According to The Ecoflomirt, the direct financi.ll cost of September 11 to tlle insurance companies is $40 billion. $7 billion is to be paid to the victims' families.

N[assive amounts of money were spent helping tlle airlines fund new security precautions. The total economic cost of tbe attack is il1Cl!culahie; even ):,'Xeater is the hmnan cost.

Yet even that pales when compafed .to an atL'tck by{puclcar-atmed tctrorists. If the invasion ofIraq succct:ds in'pren:nring one such attack then it be more than justified.

Perhaps what many critics forget is that the Middle Eastis rich in two things: oil and terrorists - and there are far more terrorists than oil. It is terrorists, apd not oil, that the coalition is after.

THIS IS YOUR WORLD The world is built on the backs of innovators, or perhaps more appro .. priately, it is the innovators who push us into our new world. Altllough these inventors would likely continue to invent no matter what the incentive, record-breaking, showmanship and contest-winning have proven to be a guaranteed hotbed for invention.

When powered flightwas a fledging industry - more frequentlyundertakcn in bicycle shops and barns than in ordered factories, there was always a competition to take on or a record to be broken. One need only think of pilots likeCharlesUndberghorAmeliaEarhart Lindbergh started his aviation careeras a barnstormer, a trick pilo t who perfonned stunts for audiences in the 1920s. He vaulted to international fame . whenhe became the first person to fly

non-stop from New York to Paris.

The world of aviation before the Second World War demonstrated to audiences the amazing and practical possibilities of this new technology.

An Ontario judge has just broken the ice on same-sex divorce. Viewed as the rational next step after the legalization ofsame-sex marriage in various provinces, Justice Ruth Mesbur. of the Ontario Superior Court has declared the definition ofspouse in the federal Divorce Act to be unconstitutional.

The law had defined "spouse" as a man and a woman married to each other; therefore, a gay or lesbiancou~ pIe previously had no access to divorce. ''The definition of a spouse is uncollstitutional, inoperative and of n~ force and effect," Mesbur said.

Brenda Cossman, a professor at the University of Toronto, believes tba,tsame-sex divorce is "an<>;brainer" and considers it a re'asonable step to take after the momentous decision that struck down the traditional definition of m~ on July 12, 2002.

Reaction at UW was overwhelmingly positive: Laura Sardone, a 2A biology student, agrees with the decision. "If you're fukingsteps towards completely legalizing same-sex marriage, then di:vorce -would seem the next logica,l step," she. said. ''The sad fact is that many heterosexual.marriages don't work out, and the same woilldnattt-

Give itto us ... we can take it laura Katslrdakis KITS GIT YIUR TINGUE Newspapers are great, aren't they?

They keep us inf~rmed and entertained. Let's admit it, often the most entertaining things in a newspaper are the letters to the.editor.

Sometimes it seems that every 'Tom, Dick and Harry· thinks he knows better than the 'editors and writers. (Sometimes it seems that every Tom, Dick and Harry does indeed know better and can write better tOQ.)

value. It is. fantastic'to see readers respond to the work editors toil over. Letters that point out valid errors keep us on our toes· and motivate us to perfect our pag6S. Some letters express it genuine dif-' ference of opinion, and these enrich 'the dialogue that newspapers are constantly engaged in with their readers. " After all, part of Imprints mission statement vows to provide, "a forum for the discussion of issues that affect the community."

Whether Imprint pisses you off, or you think there's something ,that wasn't quite right in a paper, or even if you think there's something that deserves to be added, everyone is . more than welcome to write letters ' to the editor and participate in this discussion.

However, there. are some ms.' tinctions between different tYPes of

I would like to take this opportucity to clarify these distinctions and hopefully provide readers (and letter writers) . with a heightened chance to develop informed opinions about Imprint. , When a news, sports, or science article is written, the writer's opinion is not relevant to the story' and should not be included in it. The purpose of such articles is to report the facts, and consult relevant sources in doing so.

An arts or features article may be different. When reviewing a movie, for example, an arts writer does indude his or her own opinion of the movie, but they strive to assess it from a point of view that would be useful to readers.

Real men eat quiche tOO. Grabam Barcia, TYPE-IN-STEREO "Real men don't eat quiche." , You've probably all heard the saying before. Originally the title of a book by Bruce Feirstein, it spawned a small series of equally testosterone-soaked books with such titles as "Real Men don't Bond" and ''Nice Guys Sleep Alone."

In any case, according to Bruce, I'm not a

As much as some of you will try to deny it, "Real Man," whatever that may be. Sure, I've eaten my share of quiche. In fact, I've even it is generally true. Try to get the average male made a couple ... of my own volition, no less., . to go for a manicure, shave his legs, or drink/ own/.:wear anything pink, and he will most I'm sure that fact probably adds a couple more demerits onto my licepse of masculinity, if likely run away screaming. Why? Because, due to our society's preconceptions, each of those ,such a thing exists~ things are viewed as feminine, and, in the Since society has progressed a fair bit since binary system of our culture, masculinity is Feirstein wrote his fIrst book back in the early assumed by many to be more desirable then 1980s, whether the "no quiche" rule still applies to the male portion of society could be femininity despite the continual efforts of the femiriist movement. something of a debate, but that's not really And so it is that the average male will go out what I'm interested in. The rellson 'why Feirstein's book was initially so popular back' of his way to make sure that his'every action doesn't cross that invisible line in the sand, . then, still exists today: on the whole, men are because as soon as he so much as comes close afraid... of women. to toeing that line, all his "real man" friends Or, at least, of being seen as '.'effeminate" will begin harassing him about his deviation. or "unmanly" in their actions.

It is this pressure that causes many men to try and embrace a macho attitude, only forcing us into stereotypically "male" roles - a mold of our own creation.

Now, I'm not going to say that the gay males have it right, perfecting the mix of masculinity with femininity. We too have our own set of stereotypes, which we continue to perpetuate - at times, quite happily. What I'm saying is that males, as a gender, need to relax a little bit.

eing a nympho ain't easy ifI cannot have sex once an hour every day so yes, of course I'm a little tense.

And since I've been told bringing a vibrator to class is distracting, it's neccessaryto share my excessive horniness with the campus in other ways.

Thankfully UW is not solely comprised of sexually fearful individuals.

There are many appreciative and even curious. One day after sharing that "tht;y say the rnind is the largest erogenous zone, and you, Sweet :Michelle, are one erotic young lady" the writer then asked me "to put [my] pussy where [my] mouth is:' and e-mail him back. Unfortunately forthis guy I have a boyfriend.

Little did he know that my ability to experiment grew when· my boy began rockin' my world.

vast and interesting world ofsexuality.

There is no shame in being a nympho but it is definitely not easy.

My candidness towards the subject has brought many reactions and those received via e-mail are great to share.

One titled "Stop writing shit in Imprint' goes like this: "Your articles in Imprint are extremely sick, disgusting and crappy.

Apparently you have no interest in life other than sex which is like being an animal."

For the record, I hav~,many other interests other than sex. I'm also into masturbation, bondage, still pornography, whips and chains.

E-mailers have been concerned about my "horniness." Well, being a nympho I become sexually frustrated

TOUCHED My name is Michelle Titus and I am a nymphomaniac. They say that the fttst step to recovery is acceptance and I definitely accept my reliance on sexual experience butitis not something that needs to be fixed.

Throughout my university years, getting offhas resulted in stress relief anda lot offun. Writing about sexual t;ndeavours allowed me to share the

My favourite reactions I received were of the religious type, attempting to open my eyes to a Godly world and save my soul from damnation. In response to my article "Dominican adventure" I was told that this part of the world is in poverty fora reason and that he believes "Canada is stable because of our Christian core." Apparently he was unaware that the Dominican has a strong Christian base.

Attendance is so high at times that atone church I visited, believers must lis ten outside in the square or on lawn chairs. Wait a second, I meant to say, "What do I care about the Domincan?

All I did there was get drunk, tan and fuck."

Allin all, I thank everyone who has taken the time to share their opinions

with me. Without criticism my skin would not have grown thicker and without praise my writing would have halted. I also thank all of the boys that shared good times with me and contributed to my current sexual self.

Thanks to all of my friends who shared ,vith me their experiences and offered supported in tough times, especially Jen who's endured noise through the walls I'm sure. Thanks to my political boys who showed me how sex and politics can complicate things but most importantly how friendships can overcome. And lastly, thanks to my heart and soul, my best friend and my phone sex partner forever, Brett - size does matrer. mtitus@imprint.uwater\oo.ca

On August 28, activists marched For four days, beginning on August 30, Republican delegates from across across the Brooklyn Bridge to a rally at City Hall in a "IvIarch for Women's the country gathered in New York Lives" organized by Planned ParentCity at Madison Square Garden for the Republican National Convenhood of New York City, an abortion tights advocate and othervmmen's tion (RNC). The building resembled a fortress with heavily armed groups. Tens ofthousands participated to express their opposition to the Bush tactical units, National Guard soldiers, bomb sniffing dogs, Secret administration and to bring attention to reproductive health issues. Marchers Service agents and ordinary New York Police Department officers pacarried sit,ms reading "reproductive justice for aU," "real sex ed saves lives" and trolling the area.

Officers quickly extinguished the fire and scuffles broke out as police went into the crowd to snatch the purported arsonists. The crowd reacted angrily and chanted for the police to release those arrested. The march was penned in at Herald SCluare, about a block eastofthe convention site. Several more arrests were made before tensions eased and the police allowed the march to continue.

At around 5 p.m. protesters marched triumphantly into a festive rally at Onion Square. Theyweregreetcd by organizers on loudspeakers congratulating them on finishing the march. Despite the city'S refusal to grant a rally pennit for the Great Lawn of Central Park, thousands of marchers headed for the park. The scene was mellow and calm at the Great Lawn as police and journalists looked on while thousands picnicked, played music and relaxed on the grass. As dusk fell on an tU1ptecedented, largely peaceful day of pmtest, tired protesters tridded out of Central Park.

Though Sunday's OP] march was the largest day of action, activists held a myriad of events throughout the week. Marches by advocates for !'focial issues, poor people and anti-war groups were held on Monday and Tuesday. A symbolic unemployment line was formed by protesters holding pink slips stretched several miles do,vn

Broadway from Wall Street to Midtown on Wednesday morning. Protesters, quietly standing on busy sidevmlks, drew the attention ofrushed commuters. Republican delegateswere heckled as they attended Broadway sho~,lavish corporate parties, or went sightseeing. A small group of AlDS activis ts with slogans painted on their bodies stood nude near Madison Square Gardens to protest the Bush administration's st.'wce on.AlDS education and funding.

The floor of the Republican National Convention was notimmlU1e to protests ..AlDS activists and members ofCodePink,awomen-ledpeacegroup, managed to disrupt the tightly scripted convention on several occasions. The activists infiltrated the floorusinglegitimate delegate or press passes and then proceeded to hold up protest signs, chant or strip off their business attire to reveal slogan-adorned clothing. The activists were quickly wrestled away by the SccretService and shouteddowl1 by surrOlU1dingRepublicandelegates. Several activists were even assaulted by delq.,>ates who punched and kicked them before the Secret Service arrested them.

A total of 1,821 protestors were arrested during the convention. Amajority (1,480) were charged with disorderly conduct Thosean't.'sted weretah.'ll to Pier 57 011 the Hudson River, which was converted from an abandoned bus depot to a temporary detention centre by the dty. Al'restees were placed in holding pens surrounded bymetal fenc-

ing; there was insufficient seating, with only a few benches provided for hundreds of detainees.

According to New York State law, those arrested must be processed and arrait,'11ed within 24 hours, otherwise they are eligible for immediate release.

Many detainees were held for 38 hours or morc by the city. Acting Supreme CouttJusticeJohn Cataldo found the city in contempt on September 2 for the illegal detention of protesters. He fined the city $1 ,000 for each protester held beyond 24 hours and ordered the immediate release of those detained.

As the convention drew to a close on Thursday night, a collective sigh of relief could be heard. Neither terrorist attacks nor launches of chemical and biological weapons materialized. The city returned to nonnal as trucks rolled through the streets to collect metal crowd-control harriers and heavily armed officers disappeared from street comers. The usual post-demonstration rhetoric was heard, with the mayor heaping praise on the police for their "'benevolent" handling of protesters, protesters claiming victory and groups filing civil rights complaints against the city. The New '{ork Times called the week's protests "thelargestin the history of political conventions." Protesters hope their resounding message of opposition to the Bush agenda will carry through to election day on November 4. jjim@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

Frosh Week: a Herambonic perspective

PHOTOS BY DURSHAN GANTHAN AND MICHAEL L. DAVENPORT

Excited frash partake in Black and Gold Day, Carnival, and Monte Carlo night.

IEBAMB'S IABEM "The best part about frosh: you get older but they stay the same age" Anonymous horny proverb.

Equipped ,vith a camera, a pen, and a little black book with space for 10 more numbers,I attacked various frosh events to check out this year's talent.

Shit, did I say that out loud? Presented below is my evenhanded, thoughtful coverage of three events -:Monte Carlo Night, Black and Gold Day and Toga Party. If you are illiterate, just look at the pretty pictures.

Monte Carlo Night

Decked out in my :Miami Vice suit, I hit up this event around nineish.

Good golly l\Iiss Molly, was there ever a lineup! It seemed to stretch from PAC to V1. I hadn't ,vitnessed this kind of anticipation for an event since Polka King Walter Ostanek came to Kitchener last year.

Monte Carlo Nightwas trulya sight to behold. The SLC and PAC were transformed to aLas Vegas-esque setting ""i.th blackjack tables, acrobat shows and reasonably priced hookers working Ring Road.

A dance floor was set up in the Great Hall. This metamorphosis was done rather seamlessly. You would never guess that homeless international students slept here. This particular venue was constantly buzzing with frosh. There was one noticeable feature on the dance floor - crop circles so large, Nebraska wheat farms would be proud. Hey, so frosh are kinda shy, no big deal.

The Bomber ,,'as a venue too, but it was deader than a crematorium on Labour Day. The washrooms were clean, though.

The PAC became a Mecca for fake gambling. The black jack dealers played their part to perfection. He!!, tideo cameras were set up to catch all cheatingfrosh.

Those caught would be taught a lesson fry considerablY older Italian 'Jrosh leaders. " As an aside, italicized text means Heramboneis being facetious. Don't get your knickers in a knot, Frosh Orientation Committee.

The smaller gym offered swing dancing lessons. That was cool except the lights were too bright. I could clearly see just howunderagedmost of the frosh really were. Damn.

Finally, the second floor of the SLC held deliciously scrumptious mocktails served by delectable leaders. After downing three, I fmallyworked up the courage to apply my Macking 101 skills.

The basement of the SLC offered a fashion show and an acrobat act from Asia. I checked out the fashion show but it was all guys modeling clothes. I vacated quick. The acrobat show had some freaking 111LF belly dancers though. I give all MILF belly dancers the Brown Fist of Approval.

Black and Gold Day

Hundreds of passionate frosh led by exuberant leaders marched to CIF on Saturday for a pep rally. These frosh seemed hopped up on J olt cola, 'cuz they were boisterous. I have not seen this kind of revelty since Polka legend \\I'alter Ostanek came to Kitchener last year.

The main event was amen's rugby dispute between \Y/aterloo and Laurier.

After last year's football debacle against \X!estem, organizers thought a less depressing event was required. This year the football team lost 55-17 to Mc1faster. At least they are improving.

Rugby was a foreign game to me.

Rather than diSSL'CtingthC intricacies of the game, I noticed how various assgrabbing techniques allowed for a few successful offensive penetrations. My female compatriot ,vas impressed.

Alright, it turned me on, too.

The UW cheerleading team periodically motivated the crowd when the action on the field became monotonous. They are a talented bunch with gymnastic moves that would make Nadia Comaneci blush. Apparently, there are a few SINGLE girls on the team. Herambone gives single girls on the cheerleading team the Brown Fist of Approval.

The halftime show consisted of a watermelon relay. It was riveting. \Y/aterloo defeated Laurier 19-17. Happy, happy, joy, joy. And now our main event ...

Toga Party

Toga Party - an event of biblical proportions.

Chants of "Toga! Toga! Toga!" reverberated in the air as early as six o'clock. But they were told to shut their mouths 'cuz toga started at seven.

The lineup of frosh was enormous.

It was an endless procession ofloincloth strapped lads and gals. There was one dude in a Chewbacca outfit trying to pickup.

Now this event was wet. Basically, a small square area was set aside in the field 'with tape around it, sort of like the perimeter of a quarantine. If you left the zone with booze, you would be shot by snipers on the roof ofMC. Anyhoo, thousands of frosh danced till the wee hours of mom to a DJ spinning mainstream tunes. I haven't seen this much ",,1.ldness since Polka Legend Walter Ostanek came to Kitchener last year. hramachandran@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

I certainly agree! Not only is the class world renowned, Prof. Neil, Richardson is reputed to be O!1e of the finest educators the discipline has to offer. So you see, Adam, choosing yo.ur classes isn't so hard! You just have to remember that university i~ it .time not only to learn about your major, but about yourself.

rln In a message t th The Flying Buttresses take over Cambridge Dave George-Cosh

"Rock and roll is dead!" These ate words otherwise sneered at in today's pretentious music mags, but are deeply heartfelt coming from JonathanTyrrell, vocalist and multiinstrumentalist for The Flying Buttresses, the latest band to come out of the burgeoning Halifax music sct:nc. Only there's a catch - these guys have hometown roots as well. a myriad of UW architecture and engineering grads, The Buttresses are embarking on a Canada·· wide tour, supporting their latest release, The SNit Releases El'er)'thing.

The name of the band may leave some people scratching their heads, especially since a Google search reveals they share it with a goth band fromN e\v York. "\\'e were all archi·· rects back in first year, and it started out as a joke, but since then it's represented us as well as a bridge between arts and the sciences. And v:e didn't want to be too serious or

beginning. "We lived in a place in south Halifax with no water or hcat during the winter and were really just scraping by. After playing coffeehouses at the Bomber, we eventually decided that we wanted to make a go with [the band). But, in order to really focus, we had to get away from the social scene in Watedoo and start fresh. The east coast seemed to be really open-minded and agood place to start. It's strange to go to a city that is so focused on live music and not know a soul. It's a great way to measure your success as a band." \X!aterloo's connection has definitely helped The Flying Buttresses launch a fan base across the count!"y.

In fact, MacKay's co-op expel1cncein Yellowknife led to a month-long, cross-country tour. "\Ve took a '92 Dodge Caravan stuffed with four guys and gear and managed to make it all the way to Yellowknife and Vancouver, which was aluazing.lt was bcfore we really got serious about our live shows-·and the people in Yellowknife treated us like rock stars.

Have you ever been around a group of people - say, waiting for a bus or riding in an elevator---- and spontafleously~tarted to laugh, lea<ling those around you to dismissively assume you are mentally handicapped? It's such a huzzkill; something so beautiful as an effective dose· of humour followed by a healthy release shot to hell by others just because they aren't feeling it. Are we so jaded that individualized laughter is a social stigma?

(Incidentally, 1 have a problem \vith bursting into melodrama as well.)

As a big fan of cjuirkiness (especially in music), allow me to suggest some effective options for your next long night of downloading-- .. songs thatwill elicit a smile Of chuckle from you at inopportune times simply because they're ... well, very different hom the typical musings oflatter-day rock ("I'm dark and misunderstood so fear me") and R&B ("Getro' hands off my man, Lakeisha!"). Let's all lighten up a bit; here's· how.

Liz Phair - "Fuck And Run" , this is kind of a cheat. Tlus \vlll make you smile, but a \.\"incing, de··

feated smite, because, just like this song's narrator, you've woken up before with someone you know is toxic and who wants nothing more than for you to get dressed and exit stage left. For such a bitter memory, the maiden Phair sure Joes make it sound good. From the simple yet addictive bare guitar melody to the sweet pining for "all that st1.1pid old shit/Like letters and sodas." Accidental sex with emotion~J conse-· quences -- who'd have thunk it?

Boney M - "Rasputin" Hands dO\vn the catchiest song of the '70s on the subject of sabotaging a mystical healing 1"nonk because hc drank too much booze and nailed everything in Russia possessing estrogen. Incidentally, that indelible "Rah, Rah, Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine" chorus would still to this day make for a wonderful cheerleader mantra at any undiscriminating high schoo! pep raUy. Divinyls - "I Touch Myself" A pc; -13 pop hit that obviously cd· ebrates masturbation is to be remembered no matter \,vhicb way Lauper's you slice it.

"She Bop", you're disqualificd for being too esoteric.) I'll admittha t the Aussie chick is a little heavy on the gasping, but chanting along to "I don't want anybody else/\X'li'en I thi..'1k about you 1 touch myself" in any social establishment or parking lot is a call for sm.iles both knowing and naughty. Except around cops, who I fcd are getting way too prudish.

"Fuck you, Mr. Bunny," she joyously sings.

"Eat shit, Mr. Bear." Gotta love that moxie.

Peaches - "Fuel< The Pain Away" The first 30 seconds of this song .__ . a fat, sleazy melody jarred by a plainJane voice rapping "Suckin' on my titties like you \\Canted mel Callin' me aU the time" --..-. is guaranteed to make you \vet your pams in unadulterated

excitement. Notice that I didn't say "pee your pants" ··_·-1 said "wet your pants."

You need the soundtrack from the South Park because, simply put, it is a superb attack on the pomposity of musicals, in that too often, music that is soulful, classical or ol'chcstralis weighed down by elementary lyrics thatlack emolionalresonance.

Tea Party's newest release:~Not terrible

- Peter Travers, Romng Slone

SEPT 17 - 20

yet not spectacular

www.princesscinema.com 6 Princess Street West • Waterloo' 885-2950

THE TEA PARTY SEVEN CIRCLES 2004EMI Music Canada

Laura Katsirdakis EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The Tea Party may well have set the bar a little too high even for themselves. Their newest addition, entitled Seven Circles, is certainly not a bad album. Anyone who listened to their last album, The Interzone Afalltras, knows exactly what a bad

album sounds like.

Seven Circles has some songs worth listening to more than once, but on the whole it simply does not compare to Splendour Solace or Edges of Twilight.

Those albums were enchanted, unique and masterful. Jeff Martin's vocals were haunting and inspired.

Since then things have gone downhill. Every band seems to feel compelled to change as their careers progress, but in the case of The Tea Party, change means growing more bland and almost boring. It must be hard to live up to one's own standards when they have been set so high, but I'm sure I am not the only one who expected more of The Tea Party.

When Triptych hit the stands, it was apparent that the group had moved in a more mainstream direction. Not only the music, but the lyrics shifted away from the band's characteristically dark and

brooding tone. The move was slight and perhaps only the seasoned fan would notice the change.

However, when l¥!antras came out, the entire album was filled with songs below the par Triptych had established. Seven Circles is a return to Triptych's level, in terms of music but not in terms oflyrics.

Yet even the best songs on the new album are only as 'good as the . blander pieces on Triptych.

Anyone who has never listened to and fallen in love with The Tea Party's earlier work will probably find nothing wrong with this album at all.

Theone thing that is truly lacking in this album is Martin's dark and pessimistic tone. One cannot help but be spellbound by the passion of an artist who is. creating from the depths of himself; and this album seems to skim the selfdestructive, tortured substance that Martin has drawn from for the majority of his career so far. editor@imprint.uwaterloo.ca

While Sedans exposes the wettdness ofthe outwardly mundane, he Simultaneously underplays those experiences thit'he'shad that are truly shocking. For example, when Sedans recounts a time when he is inistaken for atid treated as an x-rated es-cort by an older man, he manages to tell the story in an almost fl;\istratingly,i:natter~of-factway.

This book is a blend of melancholy and amusing anecdotes. Here's a sampler: In "Repeat After Me", we're introduced to sister' Lisa who, among other things, has trained her parrot to be her emotional cheerleader - itcons"tandy repeats "Yau can do it!"

Later, we're told, when Lisa regains her confidence, the parrot adopts the far more practical ''Where are my keys?"

'In "sii to Eight Black Men", Sedarisdiscusses how both roosters' crowing and the idea of Santa are different the world over. In focu~es refererice to the gift~deemphasizing European Christmas, Sedans writes: "I suppose it's fine for those who prefer food and family to things ordinary~ of real value."

In "Baby Einstein", Sedaris captures the minutiae that are both silly and profound in what anew baby does to ftrst-time parents (notably, baby's ftrst turds).

Take your vitamins, have a beer!

Western study finds that drinking suds can help your blood Mark Johnson IMPRINT STAFF

A new study recently completed at the University of Western Ontario indicates that drinking beer has the same health effects as drinking red wine. Researchers 'discovered 'that tJ:te polyphenols' in beer - substances derived from barley boost antioxidant activity in the, blood, helping to fight cancer, he~ " disease and cataracts.

This follows previous research which, determined that modeiate consumption of alcohol increases levels of HDL, or g00d cholesterol. It also thins the blood, helping to slow stiffening of the arteries and prevent clots that cause heart attacks. E.ffe.cts are more or less the same whether light, regular or alcohol-free't~e; consumed. ,:Befoie yourun out to the heer store, here's the catch: the study also found that one bottle-of beer in a 24-hour period had the aforementioned positive health effects, but,going overboard with three or

is

, more beers makes the blood "prooxidant" and has the opposite ef.:. feet. Heavy drinking can cause high . blood pressure and can alsodam-~ age th~ brain and liver, therefore cancelling out any posSible benefits to the heart. , "AnotherrecentstudyatHarvard University Medical School found , that p"eople who drink moder~tely at least three times a weekhad onethird fewer heart attacks than non: drinkers ~nd itdoesn't matter what sort of'alcohol is consumed. Moderate alcohol consumption ,also incr,eases the survival rate for heart attacks 'by 32 percent. Those who abstained from alcohol completely had the highest ris~ of heart failure; Doctors ~till shy away from recomm(!nding drinking to patients as a, method of maintaining good health.

So, raise a toast! However, please remember that the health benefits do O:ot extend to those who drink and drive! mjohnson@imprin!.uwaterloo.ca

Men's baseballoff to 'a rolling start Rookie pitcher Shane Riley throws a complete game no-hitter versus U of T Rod Mclachlan IMPRINT STAFF

After winning fow: of their last six games, the UW men's baseball team has already nearly matched their win total of eight from last season. This is goodnewsforheadcoachBrianBishop, . who saw his teamsweep the McMaster 'Marauders in' last Saturday's doubleheader action, 3-0 and 19-6, and earn a split in a doubleheader against U ofT on 'Sunday, 8-0 and 02. On Monday, with both games being played at Guelph's Hastings Stadium, Waterloo lost 3-2 to Guelph and won 4-2 against Western.

With these fourwins, the Warriors moved to i 5·:3-0 (win-loss-tie) record this season, climbing into first place in the league.

However, perennial contender Brock slipped into a tie with the idle Warriors after beating U of T on Tuesday night with a 2-1 win. Then, with Wednesday night's 3-0 win over McMaster, Brock stole the top spot away from UW completely.

However, therealst:oryoftheweekend for the Warriors was rookie pitch·ingsensation Shane Riley, who got the start in the first doubleheader game against the U of T Varsity Blues on $unday. Riley had eight s1:rikeou~ and · five walks on his way to a complete · gameno-hitter-the fiistin Warrior history. UWwenton to cruise to an 8Ovictoty.

The rookie's no-hitterperfonnailce • was defini!ely "a surprise" for his coach; however, Bishop said he knew that Riley nad some good stuff.

"I didn't know much about him," offered Bishop by phone. ''It's always a little surprising when"a pitcher gets a no-hitter. ''I knew he had the ability to shut teams down."

But just because Riley has had two impressive starts so far this season, don't expect to see him start every game. The league'S schedule, which features lots of doubleheaders and · gameson consecutive days, is setup so that teams must have more than two good starting pitchers. Bishop said

that this bars any team with just one standout pitcher from garnering an unfair advanmge over other clubs in tl}e league. . Nevertheless, the Warriors coachis extremely excited about his pitching staff this season. He said thathe has already received strong outings from pitchers Wes Koch, Dave CorneJ.i.us and Andrew Radcliffe.

When asked what the reasons were for the team's eaHy season success, coach Bishop pointed to all the pieces coming together at the right time.

"We've had really good starting pitchers. That's been a part of [our . success]," commented Bishop. As well, beingpatientattheplate has helped the Warriors draw more walks and pro-. dtice some offence. On defence, UW has been exceptional, added Bishop.

Putting runs on the board is once again a bitofa concem for the Wartiors.

Bishopsaid that this is one of the areas where his team still needs improvement. ''We stillhave to hita bit better. We need more clutch hitting," mentioned

Bishop 'after his club stranded coundess runners onbaseinthelast few games.

Despite having II. couple of things to work on in practice, -Bishop is definitely happy with his team's odds of going the distance this season.

"I like our chances if we make the playoffs with ourstartingpitching," he said.

Nextup, Waterloo fa<;es off against Western in a doubleheader on September 18 in London. The games will start at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.rn.

"It . was something else," Triantafilou said of Lumsden's performance. "He's an elite athlete in this league; he's one of those guys who's better than all the kids before him."

UW quarterbackJon Morbeyw!ls strong in both games, throwing 'for 406 yards and four touchdowns.

The Warriors will host the York Lions tomorrow in their home opener, which will be broadcast nationwide on The SCQre television network. While Triantafilouadmits there will be added jitters before the game for his inexperienced squad, he doesn't expect the exposure to rattle the Warrio):s.
