After waiting most. of an hour for the Premier and his delegation to arrive, the students presented Davis with a written series of questions and then read him the list verbally.

Amnesty International (A.I.) is a world-wide n&erhent which seeks the release of prisoners of conscience; those pei‘sons imprisoned for their political or religious beliefs who ha&neither used nor advocated the use oi%4olence. Since 1961, A.I. has become the largest international nongovernmental ‘organization solely concerned with human riglits, with 250,‘oOO membeis in .130 countries. A.I. works on behalf bf prisoners by sending letters and petitions to government officials, and by publicizinginstances of humanrights ahvses intqrn&tionally. Currently, A.I. is alsoconductingc?mpaigns for the abolition of torture and for’the abolition of the death pen&y. -. At first, it is difficult to see how the efforts of an individtial Canadian can have any effect on the human rights policies of distant and sometimes hostile governments. -But every government is concerned ,with its international image, and changes in policy regarding hudan rights, or.perhaps jtistim‘provemeiits in the conditions of particular prisoners, can sometimes be provoked by making the governments in question aware that their abuses of human rights are widely known . and condemned. The task of AI. is thus to investigate cases,, and to attempt to influence the policies if the . - &vernme&s involve& ; . ’ . A typical case is that of Julio Pena Valdez, ti trade union leader in the Dominican”Reptiblic, who was arrested in I975 and held naked in an underground cell. A.I. learned of his case and issued a. - world-wide appeal to. it$ niembers on his belialf. The prisoner later recalled the effects of this _- s ; appeal:

ThiscdSe iSjust dne of fhe many thousands with which A.I. has beenconceined over tlie past 20 years, but it is one whych showb that the efforts of those individual letter-writers were nbt in vain. The K’itchener-Waterloo grpup has been concentrating its efforts dn behalf of three prisoners. One of these, Mohamed Bac$ir Znagui, Morocc,o, was arrested in i974 for distributing leaflets critical of the ljolicies, of King Hasvan II reg&iding the annexation of the Spanish Sahara. Sul Hun, a South Korean, was arrested in 1980along with the former presidential can’didbte Kim Dae-jung, . for the pre+ent $voc+cy. of freely-elected government. Our thiid adopted prisoner, Franjo Vidovic of Yugoslavia, was arrested in 1980and charged with circulating “hostile’profiaganda”. Each of these prisoners is bei’ng held for the legitimate exercise of his freedom of thought ind expression, as guaranteed b’y she United Natidns Declaration of Human Rights. If you deplore politic&mprisonm~nt, the use of torture, the use of the death penalty and all the oth& abuBe4 of humanrights which are common in the-world today, but feel powerless to prevent them, perhaps y,gu should consider joing .A.I. We need committed people to he@ writs letters, circulafe pe&tiqns, publicize human rights concerns, atid raisCmoney to support investigatidns of cases of human rights violations. There-are hundreds of thousands of prisoners of conscience in t>heworld today: only when thelast of thes&s released will our goal be iealized. Contact M.

All tenants, including students, are protected by the Landlord and Tenant Act of Ontario. This act governs the landord-tenant relationship and takes precedence over any clauses, written into a lease. Leases, whether oral or written, are legally binding contracts that set out the obligations of both landlord and tenant. Following is a short synopsis of some of the major points to be found in the Landlord and Tenant Act (Note: Amendments are made to the act from time to time; make sure you check with someone in the know to keep up to date.): - Tenants must receive a signed copy of the lease within 21 days or he/she is not bound by the lease until it is delivered - Only the last month’s rent can be demanded for deposit, and the landlord must pay 6% interest while he/she holds it. - Your furniture cannnot be seized for back rent. Such action is a criminal offence You have a right to sublet. If your lease agreement says you need your landlord’s permission, you must obtain it. Your landlord cannot reasonably refuse such a request - Your landlord cannot enter your apartment without twenty-four hours prior written notice, and such an entrance must be made

tenant

during daylight hours Neither you nor your landlord may change the locks without mutual consent You must receive ninety days written notice of a rent increase If you pay rent by the week, you must provide your landlord with notice twenty-eight days prior to your leaving. If you pay rent by the month, you must provide sixty days notice prior to leaving whether you have a lease or not You can‘t be evicted (with or without a lease) unless you receive notice citing reasons sixty days prior to the temination date Such notice must be in writing, signed by the person giving the notice, identify the premises and state the date of termination. If the landlord is serving the tenant, notice must also specify the reasons and particulars of eviction and inform the tenant that he/she need not vacate the premises but may dispute the eviction upon the landlord’s application for a court order Your landlord must either hand deliver a written notice to you, send notice to you by registered mail or post it up in a conspicuous place

r Should you encounter any difficulties, require advice or need help understanding any aspect of your tenancy agreement, it is best to contact one of the following: Residential Tenancy Commission * 30 Duke Street W., 4th Floor, Kitchener, N2H 3W5 579-5790 Reviews proposed rent increases upon application by either landlord or tenant, and determines the rent which may be charged. The Commission’s approval is necessary for a landlord to increase rents above 6%. A tenant ‘may dispute any rent increase, whether above or below 6%. Copies of the Residential Tenancies Act, application forms and further information available through above office. Landlord and Tenant Advisory Bureau * 8th Floor, Marsland Centre, 20 Erb Street W., ’ Waterloo, N2J 4G7 8859588 Provides advice and information in landlord and tenant matters.

Rather, the intent is and that the space made to “ask women what they want available might well become a and if they think what they are Women’s Directorate.

Simonis wants to see what is ‘“Every woman I have spoalready available on campus ken to with only oneexception through the Women’s Rehas been very enthusiastic source Centre and the Dean of about this.

1he directorate would be a “starting point for a group of women interested in women’s issues.” “We have a problem right now,” Simonis claims, “The entire executive is male. It’s not our fault, though. No women applied.” Getting more women involved with the- Federation is a priority for Simonis. He says that no woman has ever been Federation President and only one has become vice-president. “I don’t know why there are no women on the executive. I couldn’t tell you if women will get involved,. but I certainly hope so.” Heisquicktoaddthatforan all male executive the Federation has done a significant amount of work on women’s issues, citing Women’s Week and the work done to combat sexual harassment (the creation of MASH Men Against Sexual Harassment). So far about half a dozen women have volunteered to work on Women’s Week, according to Simonis; most have come from Federation Council and the various student societies. Hodgins encourages women from staff and all faculties enthusiastically to come forward with suggestions for the week. She suggests that it may be possible to integrate some of the work done on Women’s Week projects with academic course work. peter saracino

WPIRG seeks ti, expose social problems Called everything from “reactionary” and “alarmist” to “thorough, thought-provoking analysts” Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) keeps student based research and educational programs in the public eye. In small offices across from the games room in the Campus Centre WPIRG staff and students are busily producing research, publications, organizing speakers, seminars and film series. For eight years, this student funded and directed research and educational organization has been making an impact in the university, the community and throughout the country. It was in early 1973 that a visit by consumer activist Ralph Nader to the University of Waterloo sparked the students’ interest in launching a public interest research group on campus. Since then, WPIRG has tackled everything from the Canadian food industry, mercury poisoning, acid rain and occupational health to toxic wastes and social issues of technological change. Unafraid to take on large corporations or government, WPIRG has been outspoken on corporate control of food, disregard of environmental damage and acid rain, health problems in the rubber industry and the tight controls the banks have over economic growth. Growing public interest in acid rain has recently resulted in much media attention on the WPIRG book Acid Rain: The Silent Crisis. Unlike most research or educational organizations, it is not professionals who are preparing the work, it is students. Public recognition of student-based research has been growing with WPIRG’s continued outpouring of publications. Educational programs organized by WPIRG have enhanced the profile it has in the community as a social action group. -^ Largely organized by student labour,‘the regular Brown Bag Seminars and special lecture tours of noted speakers receive considerable media coverage. Students are the backbone of WPIRG. They are the funders with the voluntary, refundable student fee, the researchers working with staff member Phil Weller, the writers and organizers of events, and directors on the seven member board of directors. The board of directors elected each fall from across campus oversees the directions that the organization takes, helps to prepare publications,. plan series, and publicize events. Every activity’that WPIRG runs involves volunteer student help from hosting guest speakers to preparing publicity to doing radio programs and articles. Two popular educators (part time), and an office administrator and a researcher form the staff. Board member Vicky Schreiber says of the involvement of last years board of directors, “We realized that practical experiences gained at WPIRG - learning through research and education, working with other people and groups, developing skills -all would enhance our university career and future life situations.” . For direct realizable benefits of student research and organizing work, WPIRG has worked out agreements with a number of professors to obtaincourse credit for WPIRG work. Students interested in WPIRG activities can find a wide range of opportunities for the fall. Research is taking place on toxic wastes, pesticide use, and occupational health. Educational programs needing mqre volunteer help include two series: one a global food workshop, the other on southern Africa. A special week of activities on food (featuring Frances Moore Lappe as keynote speaker), the upcoming forum on social impacts of computerization, as well as the biweekly Brown Bag Seminars also need volunteer input. For people hunting hard-to-find information, WPIRG has an extensive resource centre containing a collection of articles, files, books, and periodicals that are available for student use. The offices of WPIRG are open from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every week-day in rooms 217 A and B in the Campus Centre. WPIRG

Every year, students thrust into a new environment are expected to write an examin- ation w,hich they know very little about. , Often students do not fully comprehend the purpose for writing the exam in the first F place. ‘.‘A11 the exam does is give an indication of language ability”, states MacNaughton. “The grade you get on the exam will not affect the marks ’ you get in class.” . Even the format and marking scheme may be a disturbing mystery to many. The exam is divided into two basic . tests, one consisting of forty multiple choice questions completed on computer cards, and the other being an essay composed from a given topic. Students in Arts, Environmental Studies, Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies, _ Mathematics, and beginning this year, Science, are required to ‘achieve a passing mark on the exa_m in order to graduate. According to the UW booklet, The English . Language Proficiency Programme: General Information (1980), the multiple choice section, which is worth 40% of the totalgrade, is “to provide a check-on the essay marking.” The booklet further states that the multiple . choice questions .are designed to examine “the student’s sensitivity to nuances of / coortination and subordination.” The weightier portion of the exam, a 300 to 500 word essay worth 6070, serves to exhibit “overall focus and development, paragraph unity and coherence, and sentence logic and clarity.” Specially chosen tutors

marking the essay go through a training session in-which the relative importance of errors is determined, thus setting a marking standard. Each essay is marked on a five-point scale at least three times, and two of the three tutors must agree. If dissention occurs, the essay is marked a fourth or even a fifth time to reach a fair consensus. Even though the exam is relatively new, students need not feel as if they are guinea pigs. The exam, originally established in 1976, has been constantly updated. “We have most of the bugs worked out,” explains MacNaughton. “I think it’s pretty accurate.” Other factors may also cause anxiety among students intending to write the exam. “I have students complain that they’ve worked all summer and not pushed a pencil for a while, or that they haven’t had time to prepare for the exam,” states MacNaughton. MacNaughton also acknowledges the fact that a student’s performance may be affected as a result of having moved recentlyandnot yet being settled. “People do panic,” he affirms. Inquiring students are informed that they cannot prepare for the exam, even though MacNaughton maintains that many are fooled by their English highhschool grades, thinking that they are well trained. As far as overall pressure is concerned, MacNaughton alleges that students may not do as well as they are capable, but those who know how to write will pass. According to MacNaughton, should a good writer fail the exam for some reason, there are two methods by which he or she can achieve a passing mark on the exam. One is to rewrite the exam at a later date without formal assistance. The second method is to attend the writing clinic and complete a number of impromptu assignments. A tutor will discover assignments, which are consistently of a better quality than the original essay, and several tutors as well as the writing clinic supervisor may agree that the original essay was not a fair indication of the student’s abilities. However, a student who recognizes that he/she maintains poor writing skills, is better off taking the option of attending the writing clinic. MacNaughton feels that the tutors are of good quality as well as the feedback system an evaluation form by which students who have,utilized the clinic. can express their opinions. MacNaughton also appraises the one-to-one teaching situation as “something which you don’t get often in a university setting.” The writing clinic need not require much time. Usually a student is scheduled for three hours a week fora period of ten weeks with the same tutor, however-one ma9 attend the clinic beyo ll d that time. , The sooner one decides to attend the clinic, the sooner onecan be scheduled. Results of this fall’s test will be ‘made available to the respective undergraduate offices by the English Department Sunday, September 27. They should be posted shortly thereafter.

Last year, the clinic filledi.@ early with a waiting list, and selfTreferred students who wished to improve their language skills ivere turned away. However, .$&Nau.ght,on ex-’ presses hoties that this year. more tutors can be hired if th$ demand becomes. grea%,enough. _ Another” stro,nk recommendation that- .

Tuesday,

Insufficient It has been estimated by Statistics Canada that 117 million pounds of food additives are used in Canada each year. This amounts to approximately five pounds of additives per person per year.

It used to safety due to the fact that before 1964 there were no be that it was only the health legal requirements for the food “fanatics” that were concerned about the pureness of testing of additives. All new the food, but now there are additives since 1964 have had appearing regular reports in to pass certain testing standards, but while the governI the established media about specific health problems that ment sets some of those stanare related to or suspected of dards, they do not do the testing.

research carried out on at least two species of animals and must include: biochemical and physiological tests, subacute and chronic toxicity studies, and reproductive studies.

being combined with other chemicals found in other foods. * While to date well over three hundred additives are legal, over thirty additives have been removed from use since 1964. Among these are the controversial saccharin, and substances such as ox bile extract, potassium cyclamate, and potassium iodide. It is interesting that not all of these substances are banned in the United States, and that some substances banned in the States are not banned in Canada.

The solution to this prbblem, accordingto the government is to only allow onehundreth of the amount of the substance which can be safely fed to the animals. For example, if no ill effects were While; at least with the adnoticed at one hundred parts ditives they are required to list per million of an additive, then the specific names of the the government regulations ’ chemicals used, there are two would allow only one part per groups of chemicals that can million of that substance to be be added to food without added to food. This seems a listing specific chemical safe criterion for an individual names or chemical composfood but it does not take into ition. These are the flavours . account the possible accu’muland flavour enhancers and ated effects of the same food coloring. In both. these cases processors can simply additive in various foods. list artificial or imitation flaAnother problem with the animal studies is that the vor or color added. The Food animals have not been inand Drug Act does monitor colors and has banned some gesting other chemical additives in their food over the years and so cannot be tested for potential hazards from

colorants from the market but as far as the consumer,is concerned it is impossible to know which colorants have been used. There remains the question of whether or not food additives are a necessary evil. Certainly in the case of preservatives, a limited usefulness may be achieved, if the preservatives are proved safe and are _ used in minimum quantities, but purely cosmetic additives such as texturing agents are of very questionable usefulness. Therefore, one should be able to read the list of ingredients on the label in order to make an intelligent decision as to what you want to ingest in the way of food additives. Ingredients contained in the food must be listed on the label in order of descending weights. At the end of the list, the following ingredients may be listed in any order: spices, seasonings, herbs, natural and artificial flavours, flavour enhancers, food additives, vitamins and their salts or derivatives, and minerals and

their salts. So you never really know even the relative amounts of these ingredients in the food item. Despite the difficulty in avoiding these added ingredients of questionable value, it is possible to select foods with a minimum of additives. For instance, most commerical breads have some or all of the following additives: calcium sulphate, ammonium sulphate, mono and di-glycerides, potassium bromate, calcium phosphate tribasic, lcysteine hydrochloride, and calcium propionate. However, Dempsters Earth bread, sold on the same shelves has no preservatives at all. Similarly, most vegetable oils have BHA, or BHT and other preservatives but Unico vegetable oil has no additives whatsoever. While the controversy over food additives will continue for some time, and since there are alternatives, it would seem to make sense to limit any intake, especially unnecessary intake of food additives.

Imprint In the early 1960’s, French language institutions were fast leaving the Canadian Union of Students (CUS) because they felt that it did not properly serve their needs. Sherbrooke and Montreal were the last to withdraw from CUS, in 1964. A year later, the Union Generale des Etudiants du Quebec (UGEC) was formed. French language institutions were not the only disgruntled members of CUS, as many student unions at smaller colleges and universities across the country had withdrawn from the organization by 1968. In August of that year, the University of British Columbia (which boasted 18,000 students) and the University of Manitoba (12,000 students) were two of six student councils which withdrew from CUS at its congress hosted by the University of Guelph. The offended institutions .had attemptedto make several changes in the structure of the organization, but saw several policy changes pass instead. Also contributing to their anger was the increase in fees from 7% per student to $1 .OO. Primarily, though, the institutions which left were not happy with the politics of CUS. Eric Olson, then president of the Saskatooncampus student union (Saskatchewan College) claimed that CUS was riddled with “leftist dogma.” On October 1, a referendum on the Waterloo University Coilege campus (now Wilfrid Laurier University) favored leaving CUS by a margin of 722 to 222. The WUC delegation had previously walked out of the CUS conference. Soon after, the University of Windsor referendum on CUS reached the same conclusion, this time by a vote of 1,148 to 648. As at WUC, CUS’ policies on Vietnam (favoring the National Liberation Front) and Quebec (favoring separatism if that was what the majority of Quebec residents wanted) were blamed for its defeat. As Bob Baskis, head of the

anti-CUS campaign at Windsor, put it: “Windsor’s heavy anti-CUS vote shows Windsor students reject confrontation for conciliation and do not want their student governments to make statements about national affairs.” Also in October, the University of Victoria, by a vote of council, dropped out of CUS. The $5,000 annual fee was cited as the main reason for the decision. In November, by a margin of 1,006 to 859, Guelph University abandoned CUS, shortly followed by Carleton (1,298 to 1,043). By vote of council (10 to 7), University of Calgary’s student union decided to leave and withhold their $6,000 fee. By this time, it had become apparent that the organization was in trouble, and a conference was held at Wilfrid Laurier early in January, 1969 to discuss alternatives to CUS. Sixty delegates from twentyfive institutions participated in what was generally viewed as an anti-CUS conference. s It was felt that startinga new organization would be impractical, and the delegates came away with the strong desire to change the direction of the old one. Meanwhile, students in Calgary ratified their council’s decision to leave CUS by a vote of 1,294, to 648. Their major contention was that the CUS fee was too high. On February 4, Waterloo University pulled out of CUS by a margin of 17 votes (1,173 to 1,156). It was felt that the referendum should have been cast over because the closeness of the vote did not give the student union a clear mandate, but, in the end, it didn’t really matter. Soon after, the University of British Columbia officially pulled out via referendum by a vote of 2,946 to 1,70 1. This left CUS representing 70,000 students in only twenty-one schools across the nation. Fraser Hodge, in-coming student union president at UBC, stated that the withdrawal of the institution’s 18,000 students would- kill

Features CUS. While it wasn’t enough to destroy the organization, UBC’s loss was certainly the starting point. In light of the sagging membership, CUS held a conference at thelend of March to consider the future of the organization. Martin Loney, CUS president-elect, argued .at the time that the only way to interest lost members was to moderate CUS policies. In May, a conference was held in which conservative elements of CUS seemed to dominate. A conference held in July reaffirmed this new direction. Then it fell apart. At the 33rd congress held at Lakehead, many of the older, hard-line members of CUS insisted that its policies were fine and that it was the organization’s structure which needed changing. Only eight institutions came away from that conference firmly committed to joining CUS for the

Twenty-seven instiwith less than a dozen memtutions attended the conferbers. Uof T’s vote 5,434 to ence, which grew out of 2,222, created the largest voter provincial interest. turnout for that time - 38%. The delegates at that conferCUS subsequently paid its ence decided not to start up a debts and folded. Interest in a national student union remained high, and, in February, 1970, a conference was held at McGill University to form a new student co-op. Agreement was not reached on a direction for it, though, so the conference ended in failure. It wasn’t until March, 1972 that the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) was formed during a conference at the University of Toronto. The fifty delegates present agreed on a 15~ per student fee for the provincial organization, the

the more money

With the death of the Canadian Union of Students (CUS), student leaders rushed to incorporate CUS servicesas the Association of Ontario Student Councils (now known as the Association of Student Councils - AOSC). Although AOSC never had the participation which it had when it was CUS services, it was and still-is responsible for Student the International Identity Card (ISIC). The Ontario Federation of Students now represents twenty-five post-secondary institutions (universities, colleges and Ryerson Polytechnical Institute) with a total enrolment of 150,000 students. The Federation represents graduates, undergraduates and part-time students. OFS provides research that local student unions could not get (because of cost or timeliness), gives aid to local student unions in organizing, represents students in the provincial legislature and keeps campuses in touch with one another. The Federation of Alberta Students (FAS) and the British Columbia Student Feder(BCSF) serve much the same function in their respective provinces as OFS does in Ontario. The National Union of Students (NUS) has a set of goals similar to OFS, except, of course, that it deals with the federal government and has some of the capabilities of a provincial organization where none exists. If you think you have the various student organizations straight in your mind, guess again: some time this year, you will be asked to vote on a referendum to determine whether Waterloo will become a member of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS), a super-organization made up

*zs

of all the provincial organizations, NUS and AOSC. Discussion of restructuring the organization began in 1975, when an attempt to hold a pan-Canadian conference on the subject proved unsuccessful. With the NUS-AOSCaffiliation becoming closer from 1977 onwards, the possibilities of merging the services of AOSC with the policies of NUS and the provincial organizations grew steadily. By 1980, a comprehensive discussion paper on restructuring had been presented at the NUS conference in Halifax. In September of that year, a joint national/ provincial meeting on restructuring took place. The report which came out of that meeting stated that restructuring would better serve the goals and principles of the various groups involved, some of which were: -

to organize students democratically around their needs and concerns and to promote their organization at all levels - to bring student together to discuss and take action on matters that they feel are important to them at local, provincial and at national levels ’ - to promote and advocate democratic principles - to provide a common framework within which students can communicate, exchange information and share skills, ideas and experiences - to attempt to achieve objectives which include high quality post-secondary education, national planning of education, provision of useful student services and the recognition of student rights and representation The report points out that, at present, the organizations

new organization at that conference, but chose a steering committee to work out the details. At the next conference, held in Ottawa in November, the National Un-ion of Students (NUS) was born. NUS and OFS are today essentially the same organizations which they were when created in 1972. Ira Nayman

they take J

are not efficiently using their resources (their memberships often overlap, for instance, which forces them to collect fees from the same institution seperately). There also appears to be confusion over the different roles of the national and provincial organizations. “A clearer definition of roles is needed,” the report insists, “So ‘that students can be represented more effectively and so that the impression of a splintered student movement can be corrected.” The proposal to restructure is seen both as a way toacheive more effective, widespread involvement by students in their national student movement and an aid in giving students a clearer, more comprehensive national focus for their activities. The report reaffirmed the five principles adopted at the Halifax conference, which were: 1) one national student organization 2) provincial components to t exist in all of the provinces 3) referenda based 4) services and policies together 5) Quebec students have the right and desire to organize separately There were five further points stressed in the report. These were: 1) full involvement of all students in discussing the future of the student movement 2) a new national organization to replace all existing organizations 3) the provincial components, national services and politics components will continue to exist 4) common membership in all components by individual students represented by their student councils 5) must be flexible

Since October, almost sixty thousand students became CFS members. St. Mary’s University (Halifax), Carleton University (Ottawa), Selkirk College (Castlegar, B.C.), Capilano College (North Vancouver), the University of Winnipeg, Okanagan College (Kelowna, B.C. campus) and the Wascana Institute (Regina) had passed CFS referenda. Votes ranged ‘from 69% at Winnipeg to 9 1% at Wascana. By April, prospective membership in CFS, which binds a student union to holding a membership referendum, was approved by 37,000 students at Grand Prairie Regional College, the University of Alberta, Dalhousie University, the University of King’s College (Halifax) and the University of Saskatchewan. All is not rosy for CFS, though. Five delegations walked out of theNUSconference at Winnipeg, at which restructuring was discussed. At issue: the right to choose between services and politics, a choice not available if bothare part of one organization. Waterloo’s Federation of Students appears to be cautious of the new arrangement. Council has approved a motion to review OFS membership this fall. It will determine if the $40,000 UW students contribute to OFS annually is a justifiable expense. Federation President Wim Simonis is on record as saying, “I do not want to have to sell CFS. There has to be an increase in profile and better services.” Simonis asserts that he does not want to see a mere name change. Joining CFS would cost UW students $7 per four month term. At present, they are paying $1.50 to OFS and 75~ to NUS for each four month term. Peter Saracino Ira Nayman

The Commission, established on September 3, 1980; held public hearings over a period of nineteen weeks. in . twelve l cities in seven provinces and received 246 briefs and 270, letters from representatives of the industry and the public. Of the 353 people who appeared before the Commission, 34 per cent represented daily and weekly newspapers and magazines.. The Commission w&created “out of shock and trauma” less than a week after the joint closing of the OttawaJoumal, a/paper owned by the Thomson chain, and the Winnipeg Tribune, owned by Southam., Some-of’ the Commission’s most controversial.. recommendations deal with the control of several newspapers by one person or corporation and the subsequent lack of competition between daily newspapers in most cities in Canada. . It is the contention of the Commission that some chains regard. theirnewspapers as “ca$h cows.” That is, the newspapers are there to make money for the corporation so that it can invest that inoney in other venturesi It singled out the Thomson chain ofnewspapersas being particularly guilty of this offense. Less money can tend to be spent .on the editorial section of the newspaper (the salaries of the writers, photographers, editors, etc.) because that is a section which does not earn any revenue,, except in the sense that a poor quality newspaper will not beable to obtain as much dvertising because it will not have as ” many 2 eaders. In the trade-off between editorial integrity and quality and, a return on investment, these ,newsiapers favor the latter. The Commission, realizing that bw markets can .I bear head-on competition between newspapers, did not seeany way torestore such’ competition, which has all but vanished Even in cities which (have more than one newspaper, they are not usually in -direct competition; either the newspapers are aimed at different audiences (“market segments”) or they come out at different times of. the day or both. However, the Commission saw the owner-: ship-of two’or more media in the same area (newspapers, television and radio stations, .etc.) as detrimentally affecting thezability of various media to give informed opinion different than the others.

To deal with-these and other problems the Commission has recommended that the federal government create a Canada Newspaper ‘Act;. one part of such an act would , restrict the sale of newspayers to persons-or Y which do not already. own . corporations newspapers or controlling interests in other media.. , “Freedom of the Fress is not a property right of owners,” the report states, “Itisa right of the people.” The Canada Newspaper Act would prevent ownership of newspapers and ,other information‘ media from becoming, further a concentrated in the hands of powerful corporations or individuals. Much more difficult to accomplish is the divestment of many newspapers from their f _ present owners. As the report points out, the present situation was a natural outgrowth of the capitalist system,,and the owners of most of the newspaper chains have acquired their 1 holdings honestly and legally. . ,Nonetheless, if chains foster bad trends within the industry, those which already exist must be to some extent broken up. To thisend, the Commission has recommended that the Irving interests in New ‘Brunswick sell either their two-in-one (a morning and afternoon . newspaper with different titles but essentially in Saint -5.o@ or its s ’ the same content) counterpart_ in Moncton; ’ Saskatchewan’s Armadale must divest itself of either its Saskatoon or Regina paper; that Thomson sell * the Globean;iMaiZorallthirty-nine of its other , This is to be done T . Canadian newspapers. within the next five years; with’the possibility , of a two or five year extens-ion. This seemingly strong verdict against Thomson arises .from the special position which it has helped the Globe and Mail to attain. The Globe has been calling itself “Canada’s National .Newspaper” since the . beginning of ,the century, but it is only within the last few years that the capability for ,printing essentialiy the same newspaper ‘in different areas has become,a reality. With it, the Globt? ‘s claim will almost certainly become a reality. .

This clearly , violates the general rule that no one being or corporation should control newspapers in’the ’ same. area .because this doe3 not allow for a multipiicity of views. Thus the recommendation. The_; Globe and Mail has seen fit in an . editorial to interpret this ruling as the Commission trying to slow down or stop its efforts to become truly national. This is patently absurd; the GZobe,may continue its efforts no matter who owns it. o , In order to ensure that the editorial expenses. are not lessened in order to maximize profit, the Commission has suggested that a series of tax &edits be given to newspapers whichspend more on their editorial staff than the national. average and that surtaxes-be levied against . papers below the average. This tactic has the 1 benefit of not costing the .government any money (unlike so-me .of the more direct incentives suggested). -. j The logic behind this move is that newspapers which have topaythe taxarelikely staff .

The creation of a Press Rights Panel has come in for more criticism than any other part of the document (allowing, of course, for the bias of individual newspapers). Some consider it a Utopian vision while others insist that the government has no right to interfere with the workings.of free enterprise and the freedom of the press.

The recommendations made at the end of the report of the Royal Commission on Newspapers are weli-intentioned,pven if they aren’t always to-thelpoint, practicable (or &en l&ai). It is assumed, although it should not be taken for granted, that the governmentwillact upon thebest of -the recommendations and disregard the rest. What the Commission has given the public (a facet of the report which most &w&paper editorialists across the country have ignored) is a clear picture of the deterioration of the newspaper industry in the past decade. Much of the blame for this condition is rightly placed on “the concentration of ownership of newspapers which seems to trade off quality editorialccntent for greater profit. The major newspapers’ editorial’writers have taken unfair advantage of their platforms TV attack the Commission’s report and have, for the most part, read into it something which&as not there and was not intended to be there. In so doing, they have not answered the very serious charges which arethere. The Globe and Mail, for instance, saw the Commission’s recommendation that a newspaper which is printed in more than one place (ie -a “national” newspaper) not be owned by a person or ‘_ corporation which owned other newspapers as denying the GZobeIhe right to become national. In an empassioned editorial, the newspaper insisted: “The scheme to turn the Globe’s national editionintoaclub overits owner’s head is the most outrageous(recommendation). Outrageous, at least, to those of us who believed that a truly national newspaper would serve this country&d the I unity it must find if it is to survive.” And further: “Anything which imerferes with the Globe’s lifelong dry of serving Canadians .. from coast to coast is not a subject for debate.” I An admirable sentiment, but terribly misplaced. The purpose of the.recommendation(which would force Thomson Newspapers to sell either the Globe or all of its other newspapers)& to ensure that the local newspapers survive to compete with the national paper, a condition nat assured byjoint ownership; If the Globeisstopped initsefforts, the blame will rest with the present \ owner, Thomson. ! That .the Globe will necessarily be forced to abandon its plans to become national is ridiculous (even if sold by Thomson, there is still the likelihood that the new owners-will see thoseplans to fruition). To assert that the Commission was holding those plans “hostage to the breakup of the ’ Thomson organization” is to make an issue of something which is not at issue, and to play fast and *i loose with the-facts. . There is also the assumption on the part of many journalists that since two of thb three commissioners were once newspaper people, they have come up with their recommendations out of bitterness over leaving their profession. Thisattitude is best summed up by Claire Hoy’s’column in the Toronto Sun which is little more than anattack on the character of~GommissionerBorden Spears, calling him, among other things, a “corporate apologist” of the Toronto Star. \ Such name--calling does not deserve comment. Finally, the assertion that the proposed Canada Newspaper Act would allow for undue ! government interference in the workings of newspapers, the most serious of the accusations against the recommendations, is simply not based in fact (onewonders if the commercial newspapers received copies of the same report which the student press received). It is obvious that, in their rush to defend the“freedomofthe press”, themajornewspapers have neatly side-stepped the real problem: that the concentration of ownership of newspapers has badly hurt the quality of journalism in Canada. Until. the GTo&, the Star and the other Canadian newspapers address themselves to this problem+ they have blatantly abused their public trust, and inadvertently proven much of what the Ira Nayman . Comn?hsion asserted. 1 *

Campus-radio On October 1.5, CKMS- FM will celebrate usfourth anniversary as an on-air campus based FMstation. Thisfall willalso be the I7th anniversary of radio broadcasting activity on the / University of Waterloo campus. CKMS can traceits origins back to 1964, when two people met to. set I up an Ad Hoc University of Waterloo Student Broadcasting Society. Peter Calvert and Paul Gerster were the founding members of the society. The society, w*hich soon became the Radio Broadcasting Club, was able to take advantage of an .offer made by CKKW, a local AM station, to produce a weekly radio program on Saturday evenings. CKKW had made the offer through Information Services at the University of Waterloo, and there .*were some restrictions attached. No rockand-roll or ‘backroom ballads’ would be allowed and CKKW had the right-to “exercise discretion in the material to be presented and the manner of such presentation.” Waterloo College (now Wilfrid Laurier University) was asked to share one half of the period, but chose not to because of the station’s ban on rock-and-roll. Members of the Radio Broadcasting Club started to work on generating support for the club and approached the university for assistance in obtaining a broadcast license. The university was sufficiently interested in the idea to set upa sub-committee to investigate the possibility but in the fall of ’ 1966 the sub-committee re, commended that the university not pursue the idea any further. The main deterrent was the estimated $50,000 set up cost. In addition the university was interested in finding the outcome of a proposal which recommended that CJRT-FM (Ryerson) set up a satellite station in Waterloo. If - this project had gone ahead, Ryerson would have covered the capital costs of setting up the station and the University of Waterloo would have been allowed a minimum 4:f two hours air time daily. Undaunted by the university&‘ unwillingness to get involved in the project, the broadcasting club produced several reports during the next two years on the feasibility of setting up either an AM or an FM station on campus. Initial reports recommended setting , up an AM station, because “Among the student population, at least, FM radio is a rarity.” After a number of futile representations to the university for support, the. broadcasting club decided it was time to look elsewhere for assistance. The problems encountered in obtaining support from the university was best illustrated, by a memo written by Paul Gerster (then SecretaryTreasurer of the Federation of Students) in which he wrote: In recent conversations with some of you, you conveyed the impression that the enthusiasm of the University for the project varied in inverse proportion to the anticipated cost. If that is true, the University shouldseriously review its criteria for establishing educational. policy and

program. You also conveyd the impression that support existed on a fairlyrepresentative basis but that the administration seemed more ready to say no to the proposal forfinancial reasons than to thorough reencourage view. That attitude, tftrue, is equally depressing for a university administration should be unobtrusive, dynamic and helpfulnot overbearing, dull and negative. Ask that the question be answered on the basis of whether or not it isgoodfor the University,‘not on the basis of cost. In the fall of 1968 the Federation of Students provided funding to set up a studio in the Campus centre and to investigate the possibility of setting up an AM radio station. The Broadcasting Association moved from room 1304 in Engineering II and set up a closed circuit system originating in the Campus Centre. In the spring of 1969, the Broadcasting Association changed,its name to Radio Waterloo and - officially became part of the Federation of Students. By this time, programming also originated at Waterloo Lutheran University, which had its own studios and helped to support Radio Waterloo’s operating budget. The facilities in the Campus Centre proved to be too small and in’the fall of 1969 Radio Waterloo moved to its present location in the Bauer Warehouse on the north campus of the University of Waterloo (behind the Optometry building). Plans for an FM application were still being worked on, with the University of Waterloo as the proposed license holder, since the Federation of Students was not seen as a stable enough organization to make the necessary financial arrangements. In the summer of 1970, these plans had to be abandoned after the federal Secretary of State ruled that provincial institutions would no longer be eligible to hold broadcast licenses. Fortunately for Radio Waterloo, an alternate distribution method was available through cable FM and Radio Waterloo was able to broadcast on Grand River Cable at 94.1. A number of the volunteers at Radio Waterloo were interested in expanding the horizons of the radio station and they started to explore the possibility of establishing a student radio station with community involvement. - This proposzl was aided by an Opportunities ‘for Youth grant in the summer of 197 1 during which the nine participants produced a number of community .oriented programs as <well as looking at the possiblity of setting up a joint community-campus radio station. Attheendofthesummerthe people involved in the project (called Wired World) approached the Federation of Students to see if the Federation was willing to support

started/ good, Still -good ~ an application for a joint student-community radio station. The Federation wasn’t interested and this resulted in the e’xodus of a number of skilled volunteers from Radio Waterloo. These people formed the nucleus of what is now CK W R, the community radio station in Kitchener, which received an FM license in 1973. Between 1972 and 1975, Radio Waterloo expandedits programming hours and upgraded the facilities of the radio station to include two stereo control rooms and a four track recording studio.

In January 1978, a separate corporation was setup to hold the license for CKMS-FM (called Radio Waterloo Inc.) and the organization became totally independent of the Federation of Students. The corporation was set up to have a seven person Board of Directors, all of whom had to ‘be both full time studentsand Canadian citizens. After obtaining 3300 signatures on a petition, a separate, refundable fee was set up for the radio station. This provided (and still provides) the bulk of the funding for the station. CKMS-FM sperates cur-

Weekday afternoons we air a magazine program between noon and one featuring topical issues, community events and consumer news. On Saturdays and Sundays _ we provide a number of multicultural programs in several different languages. Our public affairs programs cover environmental, social, and political issues. We also air the BBC news twice daily during the week-at 8a.m.andnoon. Because CKMS offers such

The station was a founding member of the Ontario Radio Campus Organization (ORCO) in 1977 and participates in the regular meetings and conferences sponsored by ORCO. In addition, the station participated in the first National Campus Radio Organization conference last spring and is involved in attempting to set up a national organization of

In 1976 a new policy for cable FM by the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) forced Radio W&t&loo off cable for several months. Determined not to have that happen again, work began -in earnest on an FM license. Radio Waterloo applied for the call letters CKMS in the fall of 1976 and submitted an application for an FM license early in 1977. In the fall of 1977, the CRTC granted an FM license to CKMS, making it the third student run campus FM station in Ontario. Regular broadcasting began on October 15th at 94.5 on FM and 105.7 on Grand River Cable.

The FA4 Times started out as just a program schedule, but has expanded to include entertainment features, public af& fairs articles, restaurant reviews and record reviews. 10,000 copies of the FA4 Times are distributed free each month throughout the K-W area. In addition to the programming aspects of CKMS and the FM Times, there’s a lot of work behind the scenes. This includes maintaining and building equipment, promoting the- station, administration, maintaining the record library, conducting inter-

Campus-Community radio stations in order to be able to lobby with government agencies, exchange programming with other stations and to meet annually to exchange ideas.

It is not a qualitat,ive but a quantitative difference in the type of censorship which “rewrites history” in Nazi Germany or the USSR and the type of censorship which prevents the adult population of Nova Scotia from seeing “Last Tango in Paris” or in Ontario, . all of .“The Tin Drum”. Each is equally reprehensable, but one can be seen to have more immediate deleterious effects. There are three areas in which the suppression of information has traditionally been a danger - in literature, and other art ‘forms, in the press and news media, and in the advocacy .of political - .opinions., Recently, a new threat has posed itself - the vulnerability of scientific learning to a vocal new group of Christian Fundamentalists and other religious groups. Within each of these dispar- ate divisionsj we find a common conflict. It is the conflict between the ‘right-thinking’ person and the ideas which a ‘right-thinking”person cannot tolerate, and wants to not only opposeideologically, but wipe out of existence entirely. This ostrich-like attitude is the basic problem-of censorship. In the field of art forms and literature, we can find the most vocal and single-minded op-’ ponents of freedom of expression, and the most blatant censorship imaginable. Luckily, censorship of literature may be less damaging to society than in other areas, but this does not excuse the attempt to mutilate our cultural heritage for the sake of the few who cannot bear to see others read freely; -

Censorship of Science The final attack on freedom of information has to do with the scientist and his profession, traditionally dedicated to the determination of the truth.

on his theory led the president of Harvard to warn that the campaigns of persecution were leading scientists to abandon investigation in those areas. This in turn was limiting the capability of the scientist to perform his primary function, that of discovering the truth. The same effect of political values affecting scientific judgement often arises during discussion of- political issues with the roots of their controversy in a scientific debate. The dangers of *nuclear energy when harnessed for the production of electricity is one issue that is often debated with little effort made at anything resembling objective or rigorous analysis. Instead, the arguments centre on emotionladen labels. This loss of information because: of preconceived politicaY ideas hurts society yet again. A more harmless but just as ominous foreboding of this approach can be seen in the vocal creationist groups forming in the United States to oppose the teaching of the theory of evolution in the schools. In California, changes to the text have already been made to suit the creationists. Although presently lobbying for equal space with the theory of evolution, these Christian Biblical fundamentalists could very well be the start of a trend away from reason and faith in innate moral value. If the creationists are the start of a new wave of Gramophone minds, then freedom of information and society may be in for a hard time indeed.

Garsr/ at UW organized Gay Liberation at the University of Waterloo is now ten years old. This is not remarkable except for the fact that the modern Gay-Liberation movement itonly twelve years ,/old. In June 1969, in’New York City, the police

raided the Stonewall Inn. The place was a known hangout for gay men, street queens, hippies, druggies, and other “undesirables”. What was supposed to have been a routine raid on a gay bar turned into a riot. The rioting was led by the street queens and nelly men who were sick and tired of constant police harassment. For the first time gays as a group stood firm and fought back. The Stonewall riot gave birth toagrass roots liberation movement of gay men and lesbians. This movement however, was only possible because of the mass radical movements that preceded it. But what is gay? To understand this rather complex question it is critical to understand that there is a distinction between behaviour and identity. Homosexual behaviour has been and is universal. On the other hand, a gay identity is an historically specific phenomenon which can be traced back to Germany at the turn of the century. It is possible to engage in same gender sex and not be gay. According to the Kinsey studies on homosexuality 43% of adult males in the United States have had same gender sex. However *only ten percent are gay.. To explain what causes homosexuality 1s to miss the questions that should really be asked. Homosexulaity needs no more explaining than heterosexuality. The questions that should be asked are, What is homosexophobia? What are the causes of social intolerance? Has social intolerance always existed or is it a recent phenomenon? It was intolerance that led to the formation of the Gay Liberation Movement in Waterloo. In the fall of 1970 a gay student was hassled in the village residences by bigoted heterosexuals. At that time a group of gay and lesbian friends decided that there was a genuine need for a gay organization that could collectively

deal’with some of the problems encountered by lesbians and gays in a society that could only be described as homosexophobic and heterosexist. Early in 1971 Waterloo Universities Gay Liberation Movement was formed. The first meeting was attended by over one hundred people including the entire student council! Two years ago the name of the organization was changed to Gay Liberation Of Waterloo (GLOW). Much has happened since the early days of gay liberation.

1981 marks the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the birth control pill to North America. In 1961 the pill was marketed after being tested on only 132 Puerto Rican women. Not surprisingly, 20 years later new side effectsfrom thepillare still being discovered. Some argue that the 90 million women on thepillaround the world are part of a huge experiment.

Research is being done on new methods of birth control but prospects for the foreseeable future look bleak. the already infamous pill for men is in the research stages still, and more is known about it now than #was known about the pill before it was massmarketed. The World Health Organization gave $3OO,OQO to a Chinese herbalist to do research on a contraceptive tea. There may one day be solutions to the birth control puzzle but their effectiveness has yet to be proven. It seems that the effectiveness of the pill is also coming under fire. Theoretically, there is a pregnancy rate of 5% among pill users. But in actual use they show a failure rate of 2 to ’ Pregnancy can occur if you forget to take your pill for two or more days, if you try to juggle your pill schedule, if you don’t use a back-up method of birth control on your first two weeks on the pill and ocdasionally when you change from one brand of pills to another. Recent research has also shown that some types of drugs may in&erfere with the effectiveness of the pill. Another recent realization is that the pill is best only for

women in their late teens through to their late twenties. After .ihis, the risk of side effects increases considerably. However, authorities still disagree on how long a woman should stay on the pill. Some studies, like those cited in Our Bodies, Ourselves by the Boston Women’s Health Book collective, indicate that women should go off the pill for two or three months every three or four years. But Dr. Co11 disagrees. “If you are a non-smoker and young, it is probably okay to take the pill for as long as five years. You should then go off for a year so the cycles can get regular again.” Smart stresses the necessity of being informed. “Who knows the long-term effects of the Dill.” she said. “Where are the studies on prolonged use, on early use? I wouldn’t recommend the pill for anyone, but if they are going to use it they should beaware of what they are getting into. They should demand information.” There is a wide variety of literature available through UW’s Health Services, the Birth Control Centre, and other counselling services. (CUP)

In the Journal of the A.M.A. it is written that “a vegetarian diet can prevent 90% of our thrombo-embolic disease and 97% of our coronary occlusions.” 19 Another study reveals that the Seventh Day Adventists have a,heart attack rate 50% lower than the general population. 20 You’ve probably read newspaper accounts of the Vilcabamans of Ecuador, the Abkhasians of the Soviet Union, and the Hunzans of northern Pakistan.

The Ontario University Athletic Association (OUAA) withdrew from national cornpetition this summer in a dispute over athletic scholarships. It was not a surprise move sinceit had been known for more than a year that the OUAZLwas at odds with the rest of thecountry over the introduction of the non-academic .: awards. The OUAA then announced it would rejoin the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union @AU)-,chgmpionship play after an’ ad hoc committee of CIAU members apparently came. up with a compromise position by which the OUAA and ‘other regional governing bodies could abide. ._ This ‘much has been known widely since it has been going on all summer and has been covered extensively by the press. But what does it all mean? Contrary to opinion, it”apparently.does not: mean that all or even most universities in the \ country will begin offering scholarships, to athletes. Possibly as few as seven universities will make sure of the new. rule. These are - Lakehead, New Brunswick,/r Acadia, St. Francis, St. Mary%, Prince Edward Islandand Dalhousie. Contrary to opinion, it will not be the first scholarship plan in, effect. Athletes at universities in British Columbia have been the recipients of provincial scholarships for. two years. All BC residents (and only BC residents) on most varsity teams at Victoria and .UBC.3 receive $1,000 a year. ~ ’ Alberta introduced a similar planlast year. ’ Manitoba is also prepared to, start up a c program , of athletic awards this. year: Manitoba’s scheme is unlike other programs . but the details are not known. _The western scfiplarship plans are of course different in that they are administered by the provincial governments. They are termed I second party scholarships. The new scholarship plan would be administered by each university. This format is termed a first party ’ - scholarship. The OUAA’s principal concern over the first party awardgsystgm:appears to havebeen with controlling the access which other universities would have ‘to Ontario’s quality highschool athletes. The threat of .OUAA withdrawal was a statement of that concern. Their return to the fold was evidence that their-political man-- > euvering was successful. / .The compromise that was reached by the ad hoc committeeis a secret but some information has surfaced. The scholarship program’s merits are few. ’ It is certain that in the past there.has been money flowing under the table to athletes;-One does not have to ,go back very far to find an example of a~quality athlete snapped up from , under the nosesof Ontario coaches. There was a basketball guard last year who only days before registration at Waterloo decided to go to a Nova Scotia university instead.’ Did money exchange hands? Probably. ‘- : ’ The new program cannot prevent that sort of thing but, unlike before; it can do something about it if it can get evidence of a violation. Before there was nothing that could be done so, while it certainly went on,, no one said 1 anything. _

The political wrangling has done nothing to ensure that the new scholarship program will not adopt many of the mistakes of the American system. There is no guarantee, for example; that the money will-be distributed eveniy across all of the sports. In fact, there is every reason to believe that, with the’exce.ption of Dalhousie Universit,y, almost all of the money will go to’male athletes and then only to those athletes in the football, hockey and basketball programs. .1 A .major failing of the American system has been in not securing Wrights oftheathlete to complete his or her education. This has led to sloppy and inconsistent academic standards, exploitation of athletes, corruption and racial tension?Ihere is no guarantee that the CIAOhas not opened itself up to the same abuses, Since one of the major arguments infavour of scholarships was to keep C2anadia.n athletes in Canada, it is iron&- that s~$qol&will be permitted to offer scholarship&to Americans.

In the beginning, there was Metal ant, a French comic zine devoted to “adult” stories (read: lots of violence and sex). this time there were few markets in the underground comics business for adult stories. Metal Hurlant, with National’ Lampoon acting as midwife, begat Heavy Metal, an American comic magazine devoted to the same sort of stories. Althoughrelyingin the beginning on stories translated from French, Heavy Metal soon grew to zncompass many North American artists and writers. And this wasn’t bad either, because it gave our comic artists a different outlet for their creativity. Both Metal Hurlant and Heauy Metal have desired to create a film based on the stories in their magazines. The Metul Hurlant film seems to have died stillborn (although movie, after two finally been born, and it is surprisingly healthy. hat I enjoyed is not easy for r a dozen or so issues, I grew to despise the magazine on which it is based. The endless stream of graphic violence and bizarre sex betrayed any intentions its creators might have had to put out an adult comic book. Still, despite the violence (which had apparently been edite very judiciously e occasional nudity, nges from acceptable to very good (with one or two minor lapses which are easy to overlook), the stories range from incredibly pretentious to _ very entertaining and the voice characterizations (by a predominantly Canadian

as created teams of artists in Canada and the United States, but most of the production coordination was done here. Don’t let this turn off but, technically, tal is a Canadian VY film.) The Hurry Canyon sequence was probably the best in the film, although Captain Sternn and So Beautiful, So Dangerous were also quite entertaining. Den wasn’t bad, but I was never impressed by the original; B17 was interesting, but didn’t strike me as Heavy Metal material. Grimaldi was ridiculous and Tczarna was boring. The movie starts with an altogether too short version of Soft Landing, which I found to be a fascinating concept. Like most of the other sequences, (with one notable exception) Soft Landing moved too quickly and ended too soon. Grimaldi, the framing sequence producer Ivan Reitman added when the audience at an advanced screening couldn’t follow the six origin ally unconnected stories, is

supposed to lend a sophisticated air to the entire film, telling the universal battle between good and evil. For the most part, it is silly, provoking neither thought nor emotion. Although a framing sequence was probably necessary to keep the entire movie from becoming too fragmented and difficult to follow, it is a pity that it wasn’t done better. Harry Canyon is a very funny cross between The Maltese Falcon and Death Race 2000. Harry is a wisecracking taxi driver in the year 2031 who becomes involved with a beautiful redhead whose father owned an ancient artifact wanted by a fat man. The only complaint I have with this part of the movie is that it is too short. Den is an interesting anomaly; in it, a teenager named Dan is transported to a dimension where everybody has unbelievably large genitals. Corben’s Den was an excuse for excessively disgusting violence and a lot of nudity, and a poor excuse at that. The movie version of Den does not stray far from the magazine. It has one thing going for it which the maga% zine doesn’t, though: John Candy doing the voice of Dan/Den. He is hilarious, making an otherwise unpalatable segment worthwhile. The Captain Sternn part of eta1 contains essenoke (with a couple of guffaws thrown in for the hell of it), but is told so well that I can’t complain. There is a bit of obviously gratuitous violence at the end, and a serious lapse in story lodic, but they pass by quickly enough to be overlooked. B17 is harder to accept. It is an acceptable horror story in the Weird Tales/Creepy/ Eerie mold, but it isn’t representative of Heauy Metal stories. Heavy Metal has never been noted as a horror magazine (although many feel it is horrorific enough); it specializes in science fiction/ fantasy, with a heavy emphasis on the latter.

SoBeautiftrl,

So Dangerous

is a wonderful, if somewhat truncated story of a group of intergalactic wanderers who pick up a handful1 of humans. Although one or two soenes are obviously derivative of Cheech and Chong, they are rather funny. The major drawback of So Beautiful, So Dangerous is that the original story has been cut to ribbons to fit the movie’s format. Also, to accommodate the film, it comes to an abrupt ending. This is sad. Taarna, the only segmen not based on a story which originally appeared in the magazine, is the movie’s weakest area. Simply put; it’s too long and becomes boring.

Taarna is severely as the purpose behind Grimaldi, Taarna is given a significance whithin the framework of the film which it doesn’t deserve. story, lacking;

I would be very much surprised if it didn’t become a university cult classic, ranking right up there with the Rocky Horror Piclure Show, even though it isn’t the ultimate science fiction film, it isn’t the best animated film ever made, and it could have been a lot better considering what material it started out with.

The series then jumps back in time. “A Delicate Balance” performed by Danse Baroque, will transport the audience “back into a time when good dancing built good character.” “Violently lyric . . . radical classicism” is the account of “The Illogic of Movement.” Jennifer Mascall, “the enfant terrible of Canadian Dance”, will demonstrate the meaning of the above quotation. Early Dance Films from 1894 to 1912 are featured in the sixth performance of the series, logically titled “Turn of _ the Century”. Storytelling colours the stage in “Myths and Legends” with Aaloka, Kathak dancer from, India. Earlier this year, she had presented “Eternal Dance of Spring”. As part of this series, she will enact solo dance-dramas. Remember Al2 That Jazz? Series Eight entitled “And One and Two” lets you watch the dancers “get put through their paces.” And is there such a thing as new wave dance? It appears so as T.I.D.E. (Toronto Inde-

“Two feet, or not two feet?” Is that the question that audiences will be asking when attending performances of the World of Dance Series? It’s hard to say but anyhow, the programs scheduled for this dance series at the Humanities Theatre are wonderfuily diverse. So much so, that one could probably say that there is something there for everyone. The first in the series, entitled “It’s a Small World” is asn unual joint performance of dances by the Waterloo Caribbean Students Association and the Schwaben Dance Company. They will be performing West Indian and Germanic dances repsectively. Native Indian dance follows next in “To Dance is to Live”. Jim Sky and his group of dancers will perform the Mohawk Dance. Sky is a resident of the Six Nations Reserve and is considered to be one of North America’s leaders of this traditional dance. What would a dance series be without at least one performance of modern dance? That is what “Danci-g to

pendent Dance Enterprise) presents “Ebb and Flow.” Their splashy repertoire consists of “outrageous movement and essential concepts and essential movement and outrageous concepts.” “The Distance Between Two Points” will be explained by Dancesmiths, directed by former prima ballerina of the National Ballet, Lois Smith. Last in the series is “How Does Your Dance Garden Grow?” in which little sprouts (otherwise known as young people) who have rooted their way into The Carousel Dance Company will perform for other tender young things. This series runs from Sep- ’ tember 23 until December 2, every Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. (Performances usually end at 5:30 except for series#2 and #8.) Tickets are available now by subscription - only $10 for students (less than a dollar per show). Incidentally, this series is part of a credit for students taking Dance 110. So not only will you get inexpensive entertainment , you may learn something as well.

Arts Editorial

Art: watChing more but enjogrin In 1445, the Mazarin Bible was printed on the first machine using movable type. Invented by Johannes Gutenberg, the machine was the forerunner of the modern printing press and caused a real revolution in the written word. LJp until that time, writing was a painstakingly slow process undertaken by hand. For this reason, very few people could write or, due to the lack of books, read. These priveleges were usually restricted to the clergy and some aristocrats. The perfection of the printing press meant that written works could be mass-produced with relative ease and at a much reduced cost. With an abundance of literature, literacy became more widespread, and, as more presses produced more books,.more people learned how to read. This much is clear. The printing press was also responsible for a great change in the use of the written word. When writing stopped being limited to those interested solely in religion, it was only a matter of time before the writing of fiction became an art. Put in more succinct and general terms, art forms are created by technological advances. When the technology is relatively new, as was the case with the printing press, the new art form begins where the old social function (i.e. -the writing of religious documents) left off. When there is a multiplicity of technologies (such as we have today), the new art form owesa lot. to its predecessors (film, for instances, owes much to live theatre, etc.) A close analysis of today’s art (especially popular art) and technology shows us some startling trends, trends which can with little modification be applied to all forms. Have you ever wondered why there are so few good movies these days? Why television is so boring?, Why many of your favorite musicians seem to have “sold out”? It is apparent that all of our forms of entertainment, all of this society’s art is getting worse and worse as time goes on. But, why? Having just been forged from the fires of technology, most art forms prosper for a period of time. As the technology continues to improve, cost continues to drop, and the products of the art form become enjoyed by more and more people. In literature, this process took a relatively long time, culminating in the creation of paperback novels, works of art for less than a dollar. However, most art forms (particularly those which gain great popularity) reach a pinnacle from which the only way to go is down. The natural tendency in capitalistic societies is towards -profit, and, even in time of prosperity, this tendency will cause acertainamount of artistic perversion. Coupled with rising production costs, the integrity of the art form will decay as it searches for a lower and lower common denominator in hopes of increasing profit. Television is a most obvious victim of this problem. The process does not end there, however. As technological advancement continues, newer art forms are created which, during their period of prosperity, push the older forms into obscurity or a premature, though welcome death. Popular art can thus be seen as cyclical in nature. As technology increases, art forms are created. These forms prosper and become widespread (available to all classes) as their technology improves. To a point. Costs start to increase, and the art becomes “commercial”, loses critical appeal and waits to be replaced by

a new art form created by newer technology. To see this practically, let us look at the film industry. In 1872, Thomas Edison invented the kinetescope, a logical extension of photography. The kinetescope took several pictures taken one after another and, by rapidly replacing one with the next, gave the illusion of movement. With the perfection of photographic film by Eastman-Kodak, a new art form was born. With the perfection of sound in the 1920’s, all of the conventions of the old art form had to be reworked to fit the new one. Many filmmakers couldn’t make the adjustment and found their careers cut short; others continued to make silent films well into the 1930’s (most notably, Charlie Chaplin). The march of progress cannot be halted, however, and sound had come to stay. In the 1940’s, Hollywood, at the forefront of commercial film, hit its apex, churning out 600 feature films a year. Box office failures, while not greeted with open arms, could be tolerated because the volume of movies was such that what money was lost on one could be made up by half a dozen others. The 1950’s brought two technological advances, one of which remains with us to this day. The use of colour is surprisingly now taken for granted, considering it wasn’t perfected very long ago. The transitions from silent movies to sound and black and white to colour show a tendency towards the most realistic representation of the world by the artist; obviously, neither advance could have been accomplished without an appropriate technological advance. Because of the prohibitive cost of such ventures, lukewarm receptions from critics because of a poor choice of subject matter and the inconvenience of wearing special glasses to the viewer, 3-D movies never caught on. With this use of laser holograms, however, a better form of 3-D art may be available in the future. With them economic prosperity of the 1960’s, a lot of independent film studios sprang up. Not immediately

concerned with economy, these film studios could concentrate on making artistically satisfying movies. This boom led many to believe that Hollywood was leading the world in a new golden age of film. They were, of course, crushed when the 1970’s brought home some very basic economic realities to the movie industry. Almost overnight, all the independent filmmakers were forced to look for other jobs as they found they could no longer afford to make movies. This left the big studios, whose output has been decreasing steadily since the 1950’s due mainly to rising costs. We are now at a point where Hollywood puts out just over 100 feature films per year, a small fraction of what it used to. Moreover, the attitude of the major studios has changed. They seem to hold a Madison Avenue approach to making movies: the product is not as important as the package. For this reason, movies are made with ridiculously large budgets (which cannot be accounted for merely by rising costs), each new release being hailed as an “event”. What the makers don’t seem to realize is that a 40 million dollar flop can destroy a studio ()-leaven’s Gate is only the beginning). Despite the amount of money spent or the number of big names used, Hollywood films have reached an unbelievable low in creativity. Most of today’s films are: remakes of classic films; sequels to successful films; based on successful works in other forms; exploitative genre films; or, satires of established genres. Few and far between are the original films. The proliferation of home video equipment offers many an alternative to going out and seeing a movie, and, as equipment becomes less expensive and tapes are made more easily available, there may be a serious decline in movie attendance. If this does happen, only the studios willing to adapt themselves to the new technology will survive. Whether alpha recorders, beta recorders or videodiscs are the wave of the future is uncertain, and not necessarily to the point; the fact is that as our mechanical world becomes more sophisticated and complex, our art changes, and films must eventually become one of the casualties. Film isn’t the only art form under attack. Consider: With the onslaught of rising costs, many scholars feel it is only a matter of time before most publishing houses seriously curtail or altogether stop the publication of hardcover books; l If the trend in home computers keeps increasing, paper information storage (books) may become unnecessary w-ww; l Many recording artists have recently considered putting their music on videodiscs, giving them the opportunity to work with pictures as well as music; as the cost of videodisc hardware decreases and the cost of record hardware increases, artists may find videodiscs an attractive alternative. At a time of great social and economic upheaval, a time when people look to their arts for escape, art is decaying and metamorphising in ways most people don’t understand. A world where people have to face their problems is too horrible to consider - let us hope that whatever new art forms the future has in store for us arrive soon! Ira Nayman l

Murray McLaughlan’s evening on the 24th d also seems destined to be a big money maker. Back again for another roundafter having

graced the Centre last November with his presence, is Burton Cummings. It is most likely that he will pound out his old hits (again) as well as give some promo to a movie for which he has made the soundtrack (the hit single Sczued my Soul, now playing on most AM stations). You have your choice of nights - either the 3rd or the 4th (but then again, majrbe you won’t have any choice by the time you read this). For the orchestrally minded, the Kitchener-’ Waterloo Symphony Orchestra (KWSO) will be performing twice this month. The orchestra will band together (so to speak) on the 28th with Major Hoople’s Boarding House. This event is somewhat out of the ordinary asit will be a benefit concert for the Sunbeam Home for children. Sharon, Lois and Bram will also team up with the KWSO on the 20th. However, this show is likely geared for children as the Centre’s information leaflet quotes the Toronto Star’s description of S, L & B as “The best musicians now recording for children in

For a paltry $8,000 the Ozark Mountain Daredevils are being brought to usallat 2:00 p.m. Monday, September 14 on the Village Green. Nochargeat the door - onlyon the fee statement. Listed in the promo material as “among the bestof the new-wave country rock bands’,’ the Ozark Mountain Daredevils come to UW with nearly a decade of experience anda good dose of hits under their collective belts. The ones I canremember are, If You Wonno Get to Heauen, Jackie Blue, and Road to Glory. ‘Also upcoming this term we have performances by Blue Peter, B. Willie Smith, Teenage Head, and a band called the Bop Cats. As yet nobody has told us where or when. But when we find out you’ll be among the first to know. Blue Peter is danceable music. Beyond that they seem to defy much of a definition. Their aggressive lead singer, Paul Humphrey, has been compared to David Bowie, nontheless. The band’s guitar work is reported to be respectable too. Oh yeah, they’ve got an album out entitled Radio Silence. Coming to Uniwat will be the Connecticut based B. Willie Smith, a “rhythm and blues rocking bar band”, to help round out the variety in this term’s entertainment. They play a mix of originals and cover versions. Anybody remember Route 66 or Wafkin’ Blues? Teenage Head is almost becoming an institution on this campus, they have been here so often. But they keep packing in the audiences and probably still will continue to do so. Like the old saying goes, “If it moves, sell it.” The Bop Cats, a new band out of Toronto, are achieving quite some attention from FM radio stations (the good ones) and the audiences to whom they play to. The quartet has been busy re-establishing the popularity of rockabilly; that style of music made famous by the likes of Lonny Donnigan and Elvis Presley. Their followers,are increasingsteadily on Peter Saracino numbers and they already boast an EP.

North America, and probably the world.” Also on the classical side is the Canadian Chamber Ensemble appearing in the more intimate setting of The Studio on the 12th. Want to get rid of the kids for a while? Bob Schneider, “Pied Piper of Song” will take care of them on the 13th with his pop music for children. Adding a dash of ethnic flavour are two special programs. Veryovka is a company of 100 consisting of chorus and dancers of the Ukraine. “Colourful costumes, explosive dances, vibrant music”, and “graceful dances” are all part of what one is told to expect on the evening of the 19th. ’ Similarly, “Exotic, extravagant, spectacle” as well as “Acrobatics & antics, dance and drama, music and mime, songs and swordfights, entertainment for the whole family” describe the Peking Opera of China on stage on the 29th and 30th. The New OrleansRevue: 1,OOOyearsofJazz

ought to interest jazz fans. Not willing to waste words, the Centre’s pamphlet has quoted the N. Y. Times’ judgement: “Marvelous”. On the 23rd you can experience the history of jazz all in just one evening. Aha! I have just discovered some discounts from the normal-people prices. The Centre in the Square has the half-back discounts on single adult admissions with old Wintario tickets. And stuck at the back of the leaflet is a paragraph stating that students can get halfprice tickets on the day of the performance (that is if they have sufficient I.D., if the producer gives his permission, and of course, if the show is not sold out.) Or, if you can round up a group of twenty-five or more, you can call ahead for group rates. And lastly, to relieve suspense, next month’s line-up will be listed here for you: The Rovers, the Miss Oktoberfest Pagent, The Merry Widow, Acher Bilk, and Les Grands Bellets Canadiens. Anna Lehn

Let’s start with the word ‘“classical”. This is often used as a synonym for “non-Pop”. It’s otherwise hard todefine 2 some say “‘serious” music, but it’s an imperfect term, since some jazz and even some “Pop” is at least meant to be serious, while many works of “classical” music are certainly light-hearted, even frivolous. But there’s also a narrower use of “classical” in which it refers to a certain era in music, roughly that style used by the main composers in the late 18th century. You have to listen to get a good idea of the difference between classicalera music and that of the preceding, Baroque period and the ensuing Romantic period. (Here’s a good place to start mentioningpieces. Compare the utterly enchanting J’our Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) with the Clock Symphony by Haydn, and then the, Pathetique Syinphony (No. 6) of Tchaikovsky, and you’ll have three perfect examples of the Baroque, Classic, and Romantic (You can’t compare a ue symphony with a Classical Symphony, because the Symphony was invented in the Classical (well, pre-classical) era. That’s one of the differences!) There’s also*modern music, of course, which is so diverse that it’s all but impossible to select anything “typical”. But probably the greatest modern

One other large form should be mentioned: the Concerto. Here an orchestra plays with a soloist (or, especially in roqueconcertos, more than one soloist).

It isa lovely, friendly book which had taken me in so thoroughly by page two that I had to try and share it, but I was incomprehensible.

Tuesday,

This is not Star Wars space fantasy. This OSintelligent writing, done so beautifully and simply that you won’t notice. This is all completely within the realm of modern scientific thought (soIguessitishardSF).Thisis a story of obsession and of good and evil. Forgive me if I am not fully coherent. Let me try to explain the book. Many years after the Smash, the war, there is Aquaria, the habitable part of the world, which is run in ac-

cordance with the fourfold Way: water, wind, muscle and sun. All other science is black, and therefore prohi&ted. Sunshine Sue, leader of the Sunshine clan, ‘has been accused of black acts. It is said that she knowingly brought nuclear-powered radios ‘from the mountain Williams for her Sunshine Word-of-Mouthnetwork. This charge is levelled by the Eagle tribe, who have nothing to gain and everything to lose by this. Clear Blue Lou, perfect

It is classic SF, however. The ideas, the whole feel of the novel is familiar. It opens with an italicised

my brain everytime I came to the partsabout the revolution. If Jack Kelso could wait until the end of the book to leaxn about it, so could I. It wasn’t really necessary to the main story, anyway. (I mean, it was, but it didn’t seem like it.) It is with the characters that Brown manages to rise above the level of formula. It ceases to become printed earwax, a kind of natural secretion as soon as you start tocare about the characters. I could never imagine Kelso as dead, so that scare was lost on me, but I liked him enough to’read on.

Plot

tbps And Judith is very nicely done. Not exactly woman, not exactly man, but interesting. So what this novel turns out to be, see, is a rather pleasant visit with some good people who could become friends. Maybe the sequel that Brown is writing will turn out t,p be better; maybe he’ll overcome his plot difficulties. This book is nice . . . but not for those who thrive on ideas. A step above mediocre, then, for science fiction. I’m sorry, Clarus Backes. I’m sorry, Denver Post. ’ John McMullen

a loser

Sooner or later every writer is impelled to save the worid, and s/he will then clewerly disguise his/herphilosphyina novel end try and sell it. A surprising number sell. An unsurprising number of these novels are pedantic, dull, long, badly written, poorly charac terized, and lousy stories. In their rush to Save the World, the author has forgotten story values (most often, plot). This was a majorfault of early (the modern science fit tion, because Hugo Gernsback founder of the genre) was preaching technology.

Guys close in, and get really (I mean really) close, but are defeated in the end. The revolt is successful. Judith must decide between being human or Salieu Vidyun, her previous self. Her answer disappoints her alien lover. (If the concept means anything with a truly alien race, she had been male in her previous incarnation). Of course she stays human! Well, if it’s so formulaic why are you even reading it, huh? Because! Because Brown does such a nice writing job, unfolding Judith. There’s no suspense at all, but it’s nice to watch. And, well, I like Jack Kelso. And the computer that runs the submarine. So what if I was always twenty pages ahead of the characters. If you haven’t read a lot of science fiction you won’t be - and they are nice people. Mind you, I just unhooked

One example that leaps to mind was a novel called Macro 2150. A thinly disguised lecture. Orwell succeeded in warning us, but he never forgot the value of entertainment. It is a very close call for Lee Correy’s Space Doctor but I don’t think it will save the world. In that sense, it1 is a failure. The problem is that it is marketed as science fiction, and almost all science fiction readers know the advantages of space travel, probably from G. Harry Stine, engineer, who also happens to be Lee Correy. It won’t reach its market, and will have to depend on story values. Here, however, the prospects are good. Corey’s writing is improving (over, at least Shuttle Down) and he seems to have tighter editing. The prose is functional - very functional, and does its job. Not much more can be asked of it. Here we deal with Dr. Tom Noels, man with a trauma and token ignoramus. (Every book on how to save the world has an ignoramus. It allows long speeches to be put into indigestible lumps of dialogue instead of indigestible lumps of narrative. Thank god Correy rarely falls for that.) Noels’ old friend the senator convinces him to become the first doctor to go into space, where an SPS (solar power satellite) is being assembled. Noels discovers that the

master of the Clear Blue Way has been sent for, to judge on the karma of this act. (Is this confusing yet?) He does and a rough judgement it is (and he does not judge in a court; it’s more like a party). But it turns out that all of this has been set up by the sorcerers from beyond the mountains - one Arnold Harker being in charge. Arnold Harker is a scientist who has set up the scenarios. It isforeordained that Clear Blue Lou will love Sunshine Sue, and that each for his own reasons -- all will help the sorcerers. With the help of Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media, they manage to launch (using the fourfold way) a reconstruction of the space shuttle, no less, called the Enterprise, and take it into orbit, to rendezvous with the Big Ear, an orbiting satellite. Why have generations of sorcerers worked on building the shuttle? Because just before the Smash, the Big Ear received communications from the stars - information from alien cultures. Following instructions, the crew had built a better receiver, which . had itself built a translator-

(This classic theme of SF nuclear war, and the after effects - seems to be getting quite a workout lately.) “Mad Jack” Kelso a former crusading marine biologist is scavenging the ruins of Los Angeles. He is an outlaw, and a bum, and a desultory investigator of the quake’s causes. He has stolen a nuclear submarine (runbyfusion, noless). But it is obvious that he is a nice man, just a little crazy. Into Kelso’s life comes Judith, and within five pages it is obvious that she is the mes-

senger , the agent of the empire. She has total amnesia of her past, and two horrifyingly efficient aides. She also has a strange psychic link with i these aides. Things develop fairly predictably after this. Judith was formerly of a species that is now spearheading the revolt (against the un-nice pecple). It was an alien artifact that caused the quake.

project engineers have an estimate of fatalities (150 deaths budgeted) and vows to reduce that number. He hires his staff, has problems, finds emotional solace with his nurse. His nurse (the only character in the book, it seems, not stamped out of the pioneer mould; she can’t handle it out in space) leaves him. Noels saves lives and attempts a daring resuce which garners public support for the project. He marries again, his trauma gone. Who cares? It wasn’t easy to care, not for me. All of Correy’s characters have an aura of sameness about them; they talk differentllr, walk different, but they all share the same soul. Correy is even willing to tell us how they differ. But it still tastes like white bread with no butter. Without exception they are intelligent, sensitive, white anglo-saxons and deepdown good guys. It is a flaw, and one that is common to save-the-world fiction. Every character who does not have the same beliefs about space travel is automatically classed as the Enemy. As such, Correy never devotes enough time to make them persons in their own right, thus eliminating the terrible sameness. But what about the science? Is it accurate? The hard-ware is fine. Remember that Correy is

also an engineer. The setting is familiar to anyone who has read Stine’s The Third Industrial Revolution. I%e physics is also familiar to those readers. And I’m certain that the medicine is accurate. However, I’m not crazy about the software. The novel takes place about fifteen years in the future. The differences between 1966 and 1981 are apparent, and I suspect that 1996 is going -to be different than today. But that isn’t reflected in the novel, in the characters (another problem with the characterizations.) Correy can talk about such

receiver-recorder, and now twenty-one messages from aliens are recorded there, ready to be experienced. And through these messages, they face their inner selves and start to find the answer. I’ve dwelled on this at some length because it’s almost impossible to explain otherwise. It may not be possible to explain it properly without reprinting the book. Songs from the Stars is a multilayered book that is so full of intelligence, wit and ’ ideas that it is an adventure to read. It is a moral parable, one that is eminently applicable to today’s society. It is adult (what that means is that the sex is right; it is supposed tobe there, and it also has wit and intelligence). I am still reeling from my encounter with this book. It is good. It is excellent. It is what writing should be. I have given up all pretense of objectivity. Spinrad has done what I thought was impossible. (Now I hope to find out that he does this regularly.) Buy Songq from the Stars. John’McMullen

novel human qualities as love, curiosity and pioneering spirit but it doesn’t make them human. So Space Doctor is an odd hybrid a save-the-world novel which will not reach the people who could use it most, a readable novel with shaky characters, puppets who dance to the save the world, lots of good information, but little good writing. Lee Correywillgetbetterhe enjoys what he’s doing and that helps. But this novel - borrow it, don’t buy it. John McMullen

Python

person

A Liar’s Autobiography Graham Chapman . Methuen, 1981

Graham -Chapman was born in 1942 in Learnington, ,England, now officially known as Royal Leamington Spa, moderately famous for the manufacture of gas cookers - or rather in 1940 in Stalbridge, Dorset. Or somewhere. His parents, Tim and Beryl (actually Walter, Edith and Mark) were outraged when he arrived because they’d been expecting a black, heterosexual Jew.” Thus began the life of Graham Chapman, one of the merry Pythonites. The rest of his life is described in his autobiography, aptly entitled A Liar’s Autobiography. Chapman quickly passed over his early life (as most of us would) and the book really starts with his medical schooling. After becoming a fully qualified doctor, Chapman put his training to good use by writing scripts for Doctor in the House. He met John Cleese (never quite describing how or where) and the two wrote together on the small Mediterranean island of Ibiza.

history

Sable island Bruce Armstrong Doubleday Canada,

1981

Tales of shipwrecks and hurricanes abound in this book, written in the classic style of a seafaring novel - a C. S. Lewis or Herman Melville perhaps. Sable Island is little more than an ever-changing sand dune. A mile wide and a curvy twenty-five miles long, it is situated a hundred and eighty miles southeast of Halifax off the coast of Nova Scotia. Bruce Armstrong, anactor, comedian, and a Canadian nonetheless, has succeeded in capturing the history and essence of what might be the Maritimes’ most treacherous isle. He does this not by using his own thoughts but by drawing upon the more colourful and expressive writings of authors gone by.

On Ibiza he frolicked with the likes of Marty Feldman and his wife and David Frost. The book continues with Chapman’s life right up to the present. In case you’re wondering just which Pythonite Chapman is (I know I was), he played King Arthur in Holy Grail and Brian in Life of Brian. But if you’re looking for a book to tell you of the wild fun behind the scenes of Python, you’re in for a bit of a disappointment. Chapman rarely mentions Python, except to relate tales of what happened to him per-

sonally while on tour. The main topics of the book are alcohol and gays, probably because Chapman was into both. The book opens with Chapter Nought describing Chapman’s last meeting with alcohol withdrawal. The rest of the book deals with the drinks he drank and the men he had. He seemd to spend a lot of time walking up to people (in bars, on beaches, in the BBC cafe) and telling them he was gay just to see their reaction. In fact, he told everyone but his parents. (Eventually he told them. In the typical way of parents, each accepted the fact, but warned him that the other might get quite upset. j The book is structured as a series of humourous anecdotes on three periods of Chapman’s life - schooling, writing and life since Python. Overall, the tales are quite good and none are really too awful. They do d tend to repeat

the Snow hardly lies above three Days on the Ground, so it is never extreme hot in Summer. and it is a rare Thinls to be frightened by an; Thunder. Rev. Andrew Le Mercier, 1753 Sable Island takes the reader back to the earliest discoverers of North America and their oft fatal encounters with the island in the fourteenth century. The historical narratives are regularly intertwined with Armstrong’sownexperiences on the island, which have spanned more than a decade. In its lifetime, Sable has trapped and destroyed over five hundred ships, from ancient sail-powered fishing schooners to the large, ironhulled freighters of today. It is the graveyard of thousands of misfortunate sailors. Hence the multitude of ghost stories. But Sable also hasa brighter and more positive side to its past. There are the heroic exbloits of the eleven Super. intendents that have been charged with managing the lifesaving station in operation since 1801. The visit of Alexander Graham Bell in 1898 is also of interest. There is much here for’the nature lover too. Sable is pop-

ulated by approximately 250 wild horses whose ancestors were most likely stranded _ _ there from some ancient shipwreck. Their tale is as fascinating as that of the human inhabitants. The island is also the only breeding ground for the pale-hued Ipswich sparrow. Thousands of gray sealsand a multitude of seabirds also make their home on Sable. I have few criticisms of’ Sable island. The black-and white photographs, while well taken and interesting, have been poorly reproduced; re-, duced to muddy grey tones that leave all detail obliterated. This detracts greatly from the commendable prose and certainly dampens one’s willingness to spend $19.95 for the book (even if it is hard cover). The only real fault of the author is his penchant for lapsing into romantic visions of Sable as some forlorn, female lover. However, this occurs not too frequently. Sable Island shines. Not for any outstanding genius on Armstrong’s part, but for the richness and depth of the island’s history and wildlife which stand as fascinating on their own. Peter Saracino

on the subject of homosexuality. Sometimes it seems that the events are the same, only the faces and places change. Chapman had five coauthors in this book: David Yallop, author of The Day the Laughter Stopped; Douglas Adams, inventor of The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; Alex Martin, who holds the record for lasting the longest as coauthor; Pedro Montt,“An exChilean president who, with his conservative government, preferred to advance railroads and manufacturing industries and to ignore pressing social and labour problems rather than write other people’s autobiographies.” Also included in this merry gang is David Sherlock, Chapman’s roommate of many *years (“He has remained a close personal friend for the’ last 14 years, officer.“) A lot of the humour in the first part of the book isderived from the footnotesexchanged between variousauthors. This style is OK, but a bit overused towards the end. when I first started the book I thought it was horrible, because of the inconsistant

Capitalism in story-book

described fashion

Many writers of dystopian science fiction envision, as part nightmare, a world where the only acceptable literature is illustrated (i.e. - comic, books). Illustrated-books are the only kind allowed in Ray Bradbury’s Farenheit 451, for instance. It may be hard to imagine illustrated versions of the classics of literature, or, harder still, of our greatest philosophers and thinkers. In fact, a series of such books already exists. of their

Capitalism for Begin‘ners, the latest in Pantheon’s line of “documentary comic books” is one. A logical successor to such books as Marx for Beginners, the title which started it all, Lenin for Beginners, Mao for Beginners and The Anti-Nuclear Handbook, Capitalism is a humourous, if simplistic look at our economic system. Author Robert Lekachman starts off by defining what capitalism is before going into a brief history of how it, and its chief rival, Marxism, developed: The writing is textbook in nature, although Lekachman’s arguments and descriptions flow rather well, and his own bias isn’t revealedS until the last page. (This stands in direct contrast to the book on Marx, in which the author’s bias is all too clear from the very beginning. Part of the enjoyment of the obviously proMarx book, though, is in picking out all the flaws in the Marxist theories.)

ican models, and represents the best and the worst in video literature. The best: for’ thpse interested in home video, Videomania has many timely, informative articles. In the latest

presentation of the argument is, if nothing else, novel. Capitalism for Beginners is an excellent book for those who want to learn about the subject, but don’t want to sift through several textbooks to find out. On the other hand,

issue (number two - delayed because of production problems) there are articles on payTV, the different forms of videodiscs and television games. There are also regular test reports on the latest equipment and reviews of the available software. Videomania seems deeply concerned with informing its readers of the latest software and hardware developments, as it should be. Videomania is also wellproduced, graphically interesting and just pleasing to look at. Depending upon what you are looking for in a magazine, this slickness can be a strength or a weakness. The worst: Videomania is quite obviously ad heavy (it seems, in fact, to be quite a “rag” in this regard). While this is undoubtedly wonderful for those with a lot of money who want to buy a lot of video equipment, it is a nuisance for those of us who are only interested in the articles. On the other hand, there are no critical analyses of where this new technology is taking society. That is,. of course, to be expected; not only would it upset Videomania’s advertisers, but it expects an .intelligence of Videomania’s readers which they probably do not have. Nonetheless, Videomania’s

There’s more to capitalism than that. It can refer to an economic system, the society built on it and a historical stage of Western, or First World, civilization.

Further on, Keynes is complaining about the newcapitalism to a bust of Marx, who explains to him that the new capitalism is, in fact, the old capitalism, and that democratic socialism was merely an aberration created during a time of economic plenty. The

Always appropriate and often funny, Van Loon’s drawings aid greatly in the development of Lekachman’s arguments. In shaping the complex argument between monetarists and democratic socialists, for instance, Van Loon has Milton Friedman (a major proponent of a return to strict a movement capitalism, known as monetarism) and one of his “associates”, a person who looks a lot like a gangster, discussing things with J. M. Keynes, who believed that government intervention could help an economy. The interplay between the two is very funny.
