Is nuclear by Rob Macqueen Imprint staff Does Canada need nuclear power? “Yes” said the federal government-sponsored 1973 report An Energy Policy for Canada. It called for nuclear generating stations to fulfil1 a projected near-exponential increase in demand for electrical power over’the next half-century. “No” says a new government-sponsored study, some of the results of which were presented Tuesday evening at a public meeting by Ralph Torrie, the project manager of the Ontario . s government’s study. At the meeting, sponsored by’ the local anti-nuclear group I-HINK (Total Honesty in Nuclear Know edge) Torrk :hallenged the assumption that economic growth-requires a :orresponding increase in energy consumption. He -upheld

Sweden as an example of a country with a similar climate to Canada but both a higher living standard and lower energy use per dollar of the Grqss National Product than ours. The mandate of Torrie’s group, which is in fact a network of environmental groups across Canada, was to produce a model of Canada’s energy use to the year_2025. Beginning with some well-accepted assumptions about population growth, industrial growth and so on, their strategy was to show the feasability of firstly, reducing our energy consumption for .various tasks (heating, transportation, etc.) and secondly, filling our remaining needs wit-h energy from renewable sou rces. By this method the group feels it has shown that neither nuclear pow& nor large quantities of non-renewable fossil fuels such as oil and gasoline are necessarily vital to Canada’s futur_e development.

military, people are paid to provide goods and services that are not for sale; thus, more money chases the same amount of goods, resulting in inflation. Stating that while Canada obviously needs some military presence, she questioned the amount of resources put into it. Canada has the world’s eighth largest militaryexpendittireand is among the top ten military exporters. She doubted the reasons for increasing military expenditure at z! time when social programmes are being cut back. As well, McDonald cited examples of what she considered to be excessive military spending in other countries. In the Soviet Union, so much money is spent on the military that almost nothing is left over for consumer goods. In many Third World countries, people are literally starving while their governments spend millions on military devices. In the United States, one-half ofall research money is spent on military research, even though the USA “still can’t produce a car to compe,te with the Japanese.” “There aren’t going to be any more glorious wars,” said McDonald. “Technology has changed the nature of’war.” She claimed that the awesome pdwer of nuclear weapons today

Among the group’s admittedly “most controversial” conclusions is that by the year 2025 Ontario will require five to ten million acres of land devoted to cultivation of wood for combustion purposes. This is an area of the magnitude of that presenily devoted t’o agriculture in Ontario, noted Torrie. The wood produced, he said, would be used in the production of methanol, a liquid fuel suitable for transportation requirements, or compressed into pellets for industrial or home-heating use. /

stiys money wasted on rditar+

by Rob Dobrucki The world’s military expenditure last year hxceeded the entire income of the poorer half of he world’s population, according to Lynn ticDonald, the recently-elected NDP MP for sroadview-Greenwood. McDonald indicated that $100 billion of the 550 billion spent on the military went toward he development and construction of nuclear rreapons. Speaking at the Paul Martin Centre at Vilfrid Laurier University, McDonald con:sted the idea that military expenditures reates employment in Canada. While coneding that any time of expenditure will create ome jobs, she claimed that as the military ldustry is highly capital intensive,’ investlent creates relatively few jobs. Quoting from a report done by the U.S. lureau of Labour Statisti&, McDonald maintained that a one billion dollar investlent in the military industry creates only 5,000 jobs. If this amount were invested into 3nstruction, 100,000 jobs would be created; Lto a tax-cut, 112,000 jobs; and into lucation, 187,000 jobs. As well, she noted that military expenditure ruses more inflation. Citing classical econmist Adam Smith, she said “The whole army Id navy are unproductive labourers.” In the

makes any “balance of terror” theory impractical. “The power of nuclear weapons today is equal to one million Hiroshimas. One Poseidon submarine, carrying 160 nuclear bombs, has the ability to wipe out every major city in the Soviet Union with bombs tospare. “Both superpowers have enough power to destroy the world many times over.“’ McDonald also pointed to the speed of the delivery systems for nuclear weapons; she claimed that there is no reaction time to rationally consider any options. A bomb from the Soviet Union to the USA could takeas little as thirty minutes to arrive; from Western Europe to the Soviet Union, only six minutes. She claimed that thd short time spans create

unsafe situations. “The number of geese that have been mistaken for Soviet missiles is frightening.” McDonald stated-that the New Democratic Party favours “gradual, mutual, regulated disarmament with inspections on both sides”, and that her party is the only national party that has solidly opposed the ‘Cruise missile tests in Alberta and Canada’s participation in NATO and NORAD. As well, she said that the disparaties in wealth between nations has to be eliminated if the causes of war are ever to be eliminated. She advised the audience that every individual should make his/ her opinions known to politicians. “Protest is the only realistic form of civil defense.”

Things are looking bleaker and bleaker for colop students all the time. This term’sproblems with locating jobs is twice as bad as last term’s. Although the Co-ordination and Placement department anticipated a “bigger problem in the winter”, their efforts to minimize the impact have not been especially successful. The‘upswing” in the general economy is not expected in the near future either. The results of the Conference Board of Canada’s latest survey of buying intentions have been released. The survey indicates that while consumer confidence is higher t,han at any time since the recession began, so many jobs have been lost along with cutbacks in incomes that most Canadians do not have enough spending money to give the economy the lift it +needs toward a more rapid recovery. I (The Conference Board is an independent, non-profit research institution’ which operates in the United States \ and . Europe, in addition to Canada.) The board also noted that the modest recovery in consumer spending this year will also be hampered by the weak growth expected in real disposable income in 1983. The world index of consumer attitudes rose considerably between the third and fourth quarters of last year; however, the index is still

Who watit&nc To the editor: I would like to bring to-the attention of all U of W students something t-hat occurred on the night of Tues. Nov. 30th, 1982 in Btiffalo, New York at a disco frequented by many Ontario university students usually on bu$ tours. The staff ofa bar known as Uncle Sam’s acted on pure hearsay in ejecting one of the U of W students in attendance. The tactics used were akin to those employed by “Nazi goon squads” dcring W WII. The series of events leading up the ejection was observed by enough students to make it obvious that the bouq&rs took action merely because of the objections of one ofthe baLr’s regular patrons. As a result of this event, the remaining Waterloo

Birds happy To the editor: We are Americans who have made our home in Latin America for seven years. Lately, wk are seeing much distorted news about the Americas coming out the of the U.S. and would like to set the I record straight for Imprint readers. When we first moved to Costa Rica, bag, baggage, grandmdther, teenagers and pets, we spoke no Spanish and knew little about the country. But, soon, our rural neighbors accepted us and graciusly taught us their language, culture, and how acitybred family could enjoy ranch life in a foreign land. Truly, our delightful adventures there merit a book, at least! My husband’s love for the sea (Pearl Harbor survivor, retired Navy), prompted a further move two years ago, to Colombia’s Carribean coast. We found a lovely, old coconut plantation on the Pan American Highway near Santa Marta, the oldest (457 years), most fascinating city in all of the Americas.

rap Fed stand

I’o the editor: We were very surprised by David Cohen’s response to our etter (Imprint, Nov. 19, Pugsley, Miedema, Lewis), concerned with the Federation of Students decision to suspend the IMSA. Unfortunately David Cohen did not grasp the mainpoint of the etter at all. We were not talking about the holocaust in the second World War, but about the current issue, re: the Federation of Students politics on campus. 1.) The I MSA publicly announced that their political stand .e., their poster -isnotanti-semitic or anti-Jewish, but that they ire opposed to the politics waged by Israel in the Middle East. rherefor,e, the Federation’s decision to suspend the IMSA is 5 Infounded. 2.) The Feds admitted mistakes, but continue the suspension. 3. Suddenly the suspension is not only for the Fall term, but also for the Winter term. The Federation can not makedecisionslike suspensions on the oasis of assumption rather than evidence . -We- are extremely :oncerned about the Freedom of Speech on campus, because we

“Essaies”

students were asked to leave by the management, ending an othdrwise incident-free evening. Our student body has spent a lot of money at this particular establishment in recent years, and if this is the way we are thanked, I propose that we no longer send bus loads of students to Uncle Sam’s. There are bars that are just as good, ifnot better, in Niagara Falls, N.Y. and for that matter, whydon’t we consider staying in our own country and buying Canabia-n. In any case, due to this totally unwairanted and tactless ejection, I would like to initiate a boycott of Uncle Sam’s and suggest that the U of W student societies, Village dons and the entire student body do the same. Warren B. PhiIp Athletic Director - E.S;.S.

feel that the freedom of expression (excluding racist, sexist and/ or other-wise discriminatory) i,S an essential right for human beings. The freedom of speech is attacked by the Feds decision to suspend the IMSA for expressing a political viewpoint. Wim Simonis, the Feds president, further attacked freedom of speech by supporting students who were destroying the Chevron, a paper published by the Chevron Club. As feminists, we do not support the Iranian religious revolution. The subjugation of peoples to religious orders is in no way progressive, and is a regressive step. However, the right of the IMSA to freedom of speech is essential, and not something that the Feds have the right to revoke. - Baukje Miedema; Georgina Lewis (Editor S note: the third (3rd)point in this letter is incorrect. The IMSA suspension does NOTextend to the winter term according to ‘Federation President Wim Simonis. The suspension was for only the fall term as initially reported.)

Claike

There is nothing new under the sun. The last one thousand, line hundred, and eighty-two years of human history can be jacked into one moment. What seems new is linked in time to Yhat has happened. The political belief called “Anti-Zionism” 0110~s this pattern. Anti-Zionism, which can be defined as either political opposit3n to the policies of the Government of Israel or as the belief that he state of Israel, as now constituted, ought to be abolished, is a egitimate political argument; that is, it is a position that may be ! I leld with some amount of gravity. The problem, however (and this is a problem of the Left), is hat thefurtherleft one moves on thepoliticalspectrum, the more hat shiny, new anti-Zionism becomes tarnished, old antiSemitism (that is, opposition to the existence of the Jewish beople). (This problem was dramatically illustrated by an ranian Muslim Student Association poster of last, term which quated a blood-d ripping Star of David with a blood-dripping wastika: the division between anti-‘Zionism and anti-Semitism ias very blurred indeed.) The problem recurs again in that the further to the right one loves on the political spectrum, the more that tarnished, old nti-Semitism becomes shiny, new anti-Zionism. Hence, ublications of the ueo-fascist Knights of the Ku Klux Klan tend 1 be virulently anti-Zionist (that is, opposed to the existence of ?e state of Israel).

One is left with the following question, then: Are not antiSemitism and anti-Zionism synonyms? Are they not the same?+ not the latter simply a new-fangled, less obvious version of the former? If the answer to the question is “yes”, then opposition to the existence of the Israeli state is the same as opposition to the existence of the Jewish people. Likewise, opposition to the existence of the Canadian state is the same as opposition to theexistence of Canadians. . If the answer to the question is “no”, then opposition to the Government of Israel is not the same as opposition to the existence of Jews. Likewise, opposition to the Government of Canada is not the same as opposition to the existence of Canadians. The heart of the matter, then, is semantic. “Anti-Zionism”is an imprecise political term. In one sense, it may mean opposition to the policies and procedures of the State (Government) of Israel; in other sense, however, it may mean opposition to the existence of the Israeli state - and this is hardly distinguishable from opposition to the existence of Jews (which is anti-Semitism). The double-naturedness of “anti-ZioniSm” makes it a dangerous term to use in political debate. Its meaning should be clarified or its usage ended. A word is needed that will allow one to be opposed’ to the policies and practices of the state of Israel without being opposed to its people -just as dne could be, during WW JI, anti-Nazi . without being anti-German.

Pro-life question: when-does life begin?

I

To the editor: In sttidying both sides of the pro choice/pro life argument in the Forum, I have noticed a major flaw in the pro-choice argument. I have not yet heard a pro-choicer define at what point he believes that a fetus becomes human. Obviously a baby becomes human at some point between conception and birth because a human baby is born. It seems to me that the prochoiqers are avoiding the central issue of this debate -the grave possibility that each aborted fetus is really a murdered human being. Do the pro-choicers take into consideration this very important, central issue ? Since our society is allowing the destruction of unborn babies, we must define when a baby becomes human. It is good for women to have rights, but it is wrong when the price that has to be paid for these rights is another’s life. I would like to hear a pro-choicer’s answer to this question, “When do you believe that human life begins?” Carolyn Karn

Carson’s xmas comic called Ccblasphemous” To the editor: I am writing in complain of the blasphemous comic by Linda Carson in your Christmas edition. The “comic”, so to speak, was obviously created through ignorance, insensitivity and a total lack of respect for the sanctity of the Virgin Conception of Christ. I can accept a person being an

athiest or non-Christian, but similarly this person should also respect my Christian beliefs. I, along with many others, was offended, disgu&d and shocked that anyone could be so inconsiderate and disrespectful. Expressing opinions is one thing, but mocking beliefs is completely unacceptable. Dan Burjoski

Cryptic Crossword lessons well received To the editor: When I used to watch people trying cryptic crosswords I could rarely understand the clues, let alone find a solution. Often, when answers were given, I couldn’t see how they could be arrived at from the cities. Now, thanks to your series, I finally understand what’s going on. I’ve begun to practise on the Globe and Mail versions and have been quite successful (up to 80% completion). I’ve always enjoyed ordinary crosswords, but now your series of lessons has encoursged me to try the cryptic ones.

-tsb

The lessons were very clear and understandable, especially with the examples. The biggest asset, in my opinion, were the “breakdowns” and “clue types”, allowing you to ,get hints without ‘looking at the answers. The crosswords themselves were of adequate difficulty for me, especially since I was just learning. Thanks a lot. ’ Tanya Flemming (Editor k note: the series qf crossMvrd iesstlns referred to Mlere published tiTeekl!+ last term.

The rooms were the same as usual in their constant state of discord, the cushions left in their places around the floor, still trying to look like crushed velvetafter all these years, her copy of the Waste Land still sandwiched between Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens atop the shelves which served as resting places for the photographs accumulated almost passively during her years among the people

At first we didn’t notice the picture missing, then upon closer inspection one of us observed * the small bronze frame , leaning against her marble cat ‘7 was empty, collecting dust where before none had ever gathered though she was not the most meticulous person in our world; strangely though, we could not recall what had been held within the frame though we had seen it many times with many eyes

.

As for the typewriter, the desk on which it resided seemed unchanged except that the Janus paperweight stood looking at trees and empty chairs from a neat pile of fresh white pages, virginal butfor their numbering; in the typewriter was a bent paper slightly torn in the left corner and-carrying only two words some of us thought this to be the title of a new short story, while oth.ers believed that these pages held a confession in the works Nothing else was missing or removed in haste, giving us the impression that if indeed she was gone she would be back soon but this was not the case

Brimstone and Treacle Soundtrack A&M Records

The soundtrack of BrimstoneandTreacle is an inventive extension of the plot of the movie. Brimstone and Treacle is a Britishmade black comedy starring Sting, the bass player and lead vocalist for the Police. The songs on the soundtrack are performed by various British artists. Squeeze gives us their 1979 hit single Up This Junction. This’ upbeat tune does an admirable job in reflecting the cynical natur’e of the album. “I got a job with Stanley/He started me on Monday/So I had a bath on Sunday/I worked 11 hours and bought the girl some flowers”. This seems like the ultimate statement on the recession. The Go Go’s bubble-gum single We Got The Beat appears on the second sideof the alburii‘fo,r some reason. It does not fit the overall theme of the soundtrack. Much of the rest of the Brimstone soundtrack is taken up by Sting and the Police. The Police play tunes that are mostly instrumental. As usual, the Police keep the beat movingwith tight reggae and jazz rhythms which are highlighted by the odd guitar riff or background vocd chant. Sting’s lyrical and vocal ialents add a lot of vitality to the soundtrack. Sting’s Akmution is

ohe of the most creative tracks. Sting recites “One: Exterior. Cathedral. Daylight. Establishing its beauty in elevation/As the boys proceed on their orderly way, Martin’s left one: Peculiar, Disturbing, Which one, which one will it be?” On Spread a Little Hu~piness, Sting gives us a taste of his rendition of thirties music. The song flows nicely and demonstrates Sting’s instrumental and vocal versatility. Various synthesizers and keyboards (played by none other than Sting) create the musical eerie feeling that re-occurs throughout Brimstone. When the Roll is Culled Up Yonder is performed by a children’s choir. The Police’s A Kind of Loving features shouts of “shut up” and other various screams in the background. After listening to these tracks I expected to hear someone yell “Tear down the WALL!” When Brim&one was shown at the World Film Festival in Montreal, Sting won critical acclaim for his starring role as Martin Taylor. This soundtrack is a good indicator of Sting’s excellent talent. In fact he tends to overshadow the other artists on this album, ,including the Police. The Police seem to be held back to the point of being Sting’s back-up group. The Brimstone soundtrack may do well on the charts if the movie is fairly successful. For Police and Sting followers, thisalbum would be an interesting and worthwhile addition to your record collection.,

California in 1977 to make his mark on the musical charts. After touring with Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods as drummer, he quit the bubblegum crowd, becomirig a drummer for Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band. UpQn signing with A&M in 1981, he began recording individually. The original notes elicited by the musicians on Late One Night make for a unique sound. Imagine the Mannix theme song being played on a tither. Williams’ style isaptly suited for his rendition of George Harrison’s Within You Without You. Certain selections employ a hopping rock ‘n’ roll beat, others o^pting for a reggae sound. The music;due to its novelty, can stand on its own. Contrarily, the lyrics, penned chiefly by Williams, lack any original expression whatsoever. Typical themes are rehashed in cliche ridden songs, although some of the tunes wisely lack prolonged narration, merely repeating key words and the title phrase. The lack of. lyrical material spotlights the instrument zr- content. %&ally, Williams is assisted by his band, providing contrasting voices for his mellow, I echoing voice. While the title- cut Let It Slide not only provides sound advice it is characterized by a strong slide guitar solo. Self Destruction seems the most promising track on the album, although it will probably not be marketed as such. Clearly Williams’ strengths lie in his instrumental ability. Let It Slide lacks lyrical proficiency, excepting the psychedelic Beatles’ song.

by Greg Oakes Imprint staff Late One Night Robert Williams A&M Late One Night is Robert Williamslfirst solo album recorded between the fall of 1981 and spring of 1982. With some assistance by ex-Doors’ guitarist Robbie Krieger and Devo’s Mothersaugh brothers, Williams’ percussionoriented sound has evolved into a mildly amusing listening experience. “I wanted to perform live so I formed a band, and it feels much better now. It’s more creative working with these guys,” concludes Williams. Williams was nurtured in Massachusetts, and upon coming of age he quickly headed for

Nash the Slash plays, sings, and conducts the following: electric violin and mandolin, electronic percussion, keyboards, bass pedals, tape machine, echoplexes, vocals, sound effects, and chaos. Nash used all of his wizardry to produce his third full length recording called And You Thought You Were Normal. He has composed and performed the music For each of his pr<vious discs (with the exception of cover tunes), but relies on the talents of Toby Dammit for the lyrics. His new music is no exception to the formula. One side of And You Thought You Were Normal is devoted to instrumental tracks such as Animal Jamboree and Remember

Nash the Slash sings on the first side of his latest effort, and does a good job to boot. The number to listen for at pubs and parties is called Dance .After Curfew. As the title suggests, the tune tends to encourage , movement of the feet, thanks to some great rhythmic innovation. The words of Vincent’s Crows provides for some interesting listening as well. Nash the Slash is unique in his field of music an& has appeared with many reputable performers (the Police, the Who and the Tubes) as well as on his own. Nevertheless, the most avid listener can handle only so much high technology in one recording.

George

Thorogood’s slide guitar and vocals steal the show on yet another J. L. Hooker tune, New Boogie Chillun. It’s too bad that George and his Destroyers did not put much heart or good -production in Chuck Berry’s No Particular Place to Go, nor do they match the Isely Brother’s harmonies on Nobody ButMe. This album shines the most on Georgb’s original songs. On the title track, the sax and the slide guitar solos can be best desdribed in blues terminology as “so good that it hurts”. Thorogood feels good about himself as he growls, “Now when I walk the streets, Kings and Queens step aside/All the ladies I meet, they all stay satisfied.” All of this lyricism is presented in a whimsical style that adds interest to George’s other original, Miss Luanne, when he laments, “She dqn’t turn her head my way”. Thorogood ends the album witha departure from his usual style by playing Bob Dylan’s Wanted Man. The out-of-tune guitar is orershadowed by a. very convincing vocal on George’s part. Overall, this album is a rocker that promises to be good to dance and party to.

Friday,

It has been quite fashionable of late for sports columnists to malign the sport of boxing. Pretty well every sports columnist has devoted-a column, or two, to offering their own perso.nal insights into the problems ofthe boxing world. While I am hardly qualified to talk on the subject, not having ever boxed, neither have the majority of sports columnists, so here goes my attempt to join the fray. In recent years, many eminent scholars have published reports on scientific studies into the/effects of receiving hundreds of blows to the head on one’s ability to retain one’s brain intact and functional. While these studies have brought the issue before the public eye, no solutions were ever offered, save for total abolishment of the sport. Of what use are scientific criticisms without proposing solutions? I agree that steps must be taken to limit the danger of brain damage or even death, however, to paraphrase an old idiom, if youcan’t say anything constructive, don’t say anything at all. For every person offering realistic solutions, there are fifty who do nothing but sit back and direct obscenities at the barbarism of the sport. Certainly, a sports commentator who quits because he thinks that a bout should have been stopped and wasn’t, is doing nothing constructive for the sport he claims he loves. And so, not to put myself in the same category of thpse that sit and yell, I ‘offer a suggestion - not thesolution to boxing’s woes, mind, but a suggestion. First some analagous background. There are those, more and more every day, who wish to see football removed from the high school curriculum. The

r

majority, I tend to suspect, have never played the game - unless you include tossing the old pigskinaround the backyard with the kids. And yet, it is a vocal faction that abhors all the injuries and character deformities that result from high school football. But certainly it is better to have the kids playing organized football under the supervision of trained coaches with proper equipment than in the street or corner lot with flapping shoes and a beat up old ball? High school football does not cause injuries, it prevents them. For every one that refuses to listen, there are hundreds who do listen, and learn to play the game the correct way - using the right techniques, and therefore avoiding injury. I am not leading into proposals that boxing be included in high I am, however, using the football school sports programs, controversy to bring to light the point that kids are going to play the game anyway, and I would much rather have my kids playing the right way in an organized setting than not. With boxing, the same philosophy should apply. Should

Birch’s prediction came true with Sunday night’s defeat of RMC, as last term Royal Military College had out-scored the Warriors to the tune of IO-6 before a vocal crowd in Kingston.

by Debbie Elliott Imprint staff On January 9th, the UW hockey Warriors opened the second half of their season with a convincing 7-2 trouncing of RMC. This win, despite being overshadowed somewhat by two exhibition losses to the University of Michigan, is leading to speculation as to whether the Warriors might be turning their season around. The week before, coach Jack Birch had predicted that “We are definitely turning things around, and 1 think you will see that our scores are going to be much better, team for team, compared to the games we played in the first half of the season.”

January

At home the Warriors refused to allow the RMC players to intimidate them. Waterloo demonstrated that they too could be physical. The constant physical contact opened the period with more penaities than goals. RMC broke the monotony of penalties by scoring the first goal of-the game. Rick Hart retaliated for Waterloo, with the aid of Danjoe McCormack and Dan Beagan. The Warriors lacked hustle but managed to keep the score tied l-l at the end of the first. R MC opened the second period with a goal when a Waterloo miscue failed to clear the puck. Rick Hart scored Waterloo’s second goal of the game, assisted by Stu Hammond and Wayne Holden. This goal proved to be the first sign of Waterloo’s burst of energy. Five minutes and seventeen seconds later, the period ended with the Warriors totalling three goals to RMC’s one.

Hammond and Holden. Birch was not the only coach impressed with their team’s play, as a member of RMC’s coaching staff acknowledged that “Waterloo was beginning to look like McMaster’s team last year.” McMaster finished third in Ontario last year. Waterloo has new uniforms, a couple of new players, and new hopes for the season. Jack Birch’s influence is being felt as a coach, and he will deserve much oft he credit if Waterloo can turn this season around.

Spikers

The Warriors have an unenviable task ahead of them, though, as they face McMaster at 8 p.m. on January 14th - a team that rose to become a fierce competitor in the OUAA under Jack Birch’s tutelage. A win over McMaster at the Waterloo Memorial Arena on Friday night would leave the Warriors in good shape for their January 15th encounter with Brock University in St. Catharines.

On January 14th and 15th, the UW Athenas will host nine other teams in the 16th annual Athena Invitational Volleyball Tournament. In addition to‘the Athenas, teams will travel from as far away as Manitoba, and ascl’oseas across town, to compete. The favorites going into the tournament are Queen’s and Manitoba, although SOL from Scarborough is a *perennial strong team. As well, a Kitchener-Waterloo club team, led by former Canadian National player, Cindy Elliot, should finish near the top. At any rate, the action should be highly competitive, and the Athenas should be right in the thick of things after their three games Friday, starting at 3:30 p.m. Other Athena action commences at IO:30 on Saturday.

Credit for Waterloo’s final two goals of the period went to Ted Kealey and Steve Cracker. Blair McArthur received two assists with single assists going to Steve Cracker and Wayne Holden. The score at the end of the second period was 5-2 Waterloo. The Warriors succeeded in shutting out RMC for the remainder of the game. Brad Copeland lengthened Waterloo’s dynamic show of hockey with a goal at the beginning of the third period. Assists for the goal went to Rick Hart and Stu Hammond. Danjoe McCormack added to RMC’s woes by deflecting a shot off the goaltender’s pad and into the net. Blair McArthur and Dan Blum received assists for thegoal. With one second to go in the game, Rick McKenney, assisted by Rick Hart and Stu Hammond, scored to make the final score 7-2. Jamie Britt, goaltender for the Warriors, made some difficult saves, but coach Birch was particularly impressed with the play of Hart,

boxing be abolished? No! Abolish the sport and it will be taken out of Madison Square Gardens and put in the back rooms of seedy bars in the downtown section of every major city. Ambitious boxers will have-no alternative but to join this world, training when and where they can, fighting mismatched opponents, and missing out on adequate medical attention. Is this where you want your kids boxing‘? It is not where 1 would want mine, if I had any. If they were interested in trying boxing, 1 would hope that they would have the opportunity to do so in a well-organized, serious atmosphere. You don’t find that in the back rooms of downtown bars. You find it in schools. -Thus, my suggestion, is to bring boxing into the’ interuniversity sports curriculum. Wrestling, at least the TV variety, is as barbaric - or more so - than is boxing. And yet, university wrestling is safe, well-run and, above all, instructional. So is university football, hockey, etc. Those athletes that choose the university route get the experience and training necessary to make the pros, and, should they fail to reach this objective, at least have a degree to fall back on. Should not boxers have the same rights? Now I can sit back and wait for all the indignant critics to erupt in a fury at the thought of subjecting “innocent kids” to the brutalities of boxing. Indeed! Nobody forces people to box, or play football, or tennis. Should a person want to box, let’s let him get it out of his system. And let’s give him-an education at the same time. Maybe then when he gets his title shot and fails, or grows disinterested and takes up golf, he won’t have a life of clubs and dirty gyms to look back on, but a degree and a healthy body. don button

A ,/ ‘by Donald Duench Imprint staff After two tionths of exhibition action, the /aterloo Warriors basketball team began leir regular season with two convincing ctories against strong competition. An 82-67 in at Brock, on January 5th, and Saturday’s 7-55 triumph over Guelph leave the War_riors 1 top in the OUAA West standings. The home opener against the Guelph ryphons was .extremely enjoyable for the ousands of UW fans - both those in tendance at the PAC, and those watching on levision. (Somebody brought a battery>wered TV to the game, and was doing both.) he fans were up and clapping from the lening jump to Waterloo’s first field goal, on iumper by Phil Jarrett four minutes into the Ime. The Gryphons had gotten but to a 6-O sd before the basket allowed thousagds of :ary spectators to-sit down and rest their Inds. From the start, it was obvious that the ferees were not about to let the game get out hand. They kept their whistles active during e game, provoking Guelph coach David ‘sefieault to verbally accost both officials. rough the game. Arseneault was close to awing a technical foul a few times, but the ly one actually given out was to Waterloo’s eve Atkinfor hangingontherimafteragrkat o-hand dunk. ‘7 By thi second television time-out, at the 12 nute mark, the Warriors had finally climbed ead, 13-12. Guelph came back to take their t lead of the afternoon, 21-19, with 4:40 left the half. Everything then started to click for : Warriors; who scored sixteen -straight ints. The scoring string included four points start the second half. The second half saw three Guelph players gding’for foul trouble’with three personals, ile for the Warriors, only Atkin and Peter vich had two fouls. Seeing all the red lights the visitor’s side of the scoreboard was a lcome change from the Warrior’s exhibIn matches.

The Gryphons went to the full-court press to catch Waterloo on the 5- and lo-secpnd violations, but the Warriors wereable to beat the press. In this situation, Savich was able to obtain eight straight points on three field goals and a pair of foul shots.

Guelph’s fouls finally caught up with them, as three of their twelve players fouled out. The manpower situation for the Grypons was so bad that Arseneault called to Waterloo coach Don McCrae, “Can I use your bench?” With two minutes remaining, McCrae yielded t6 the crowd and substituted Ken Haggert for Atkin. In the short time he played, Haggert took three rebounds and made a two-hand dunk. McCrae was delighted with the play of his club. “I‘knew the game would be like this,” he said, referring to the very physical play. “The refs have to blow the whiStlein this type of game. When we’re as big as we are, people come after us,.” He singled out Dave Burns and Mark Korchok for their “free play”, and noted that “we still play man defense okay - we’re doing a great job at it.” Jarpett with 15 points and Atkin taking 13 led the UW scoring totals. The Warriors were 29 for 41 from the line (71%), made only 17 fouls, but collected 38 rebound$.,The’Guelph team; while shooting 13 of 14 free throws (93%) and taking 30 rebounds, had a field. goal percentage of only 25%. Mark Korchok, a 5 ft. 11 in. guard, has emerged as another strong p&-t of Waterloo’s bench. Korchok !rrsad to play for the Windsor Lancers, who- played the Warriors last Wednesday. After Saturday’s game, Korchok recalled that “I’ve seen some strange things haphen inWindsor. They throw things at the players. I’m looking forwaid to getting back to Windsor. I’d like to prove something to them.” All interested fans are invited to the Warrior pub in South Campus Hall after the Saturday night game against Laurier.

Iri addition to the race,the team got in three’ days of training on good ski trails. This was important in view of the weather conditions in the Waterloo area. Even if local conditions do not improve considerably, the coaches are confident that the team will be well prepared for the University Cham@onships in February. Roller skiing and other ski-specific, dryland training and on-snow workouts at Chicopee will be used to complement weekend races and 1training sessions on good trails. This coming- weekend, two races are scheduled near Guelph. The Saturday race is a university relay competition hosted by UW and Guelph. If local weather conditions are not suitable, a replacement race will likely be h_eld at Midland. i

by Donald Duench Imprint staff Winter play began for four women’s ,basketball teams last weekend at the Athena Invitational, but the team that has never seen winter took the prize. The California State University (CSU-Los Angeles) Golden Eagles won the championship with victories over Laval, Waterloo, and Western. The tournament was held in a round-robin fashion, with all teams playing each other once. b CSU’s first win was over la Redoute d’universite de Lava1 66-50. The Golden Eagles got out to an early start, out-passing and out-rebounding Laval, and never looked back. They made the best of the turnovers caused by their strong defensive play, and led 38-25 at the half. The next Eagles game was a 56-48 victory against the Waterloo Athenas. It started out with CSU taking an 8-1 lead. Waterloo was giving up the ball too much, and let CSU get away with some very quick scoring plays. Although the Athenas were down 33-17 after 20 minutes, they made it close at the end, with 15 points in the last 4 minutes. Since the Western Mustangs had beaten both Lava1 and Waterloo earlier, the EaglesMustangs game turned out to be for the championship. With better ball control and defence, Western broke out toan 8-41ead. CSU was committing fewer fouls, which enabled them to keep their best players on the court. With only a 26-25 lead, the Eagles opened the second half with ten straight points. The strain of three games in two days started to show as CSU allowed Western to tie the

score at 44 with ten minutes left. Finally, the Eagles regained the lead, and killed the clock with a 63-56 win.

.

CSU head coach, Carol Dunn, agreed that her team was fatigued. “We were definitely tired, but we stuck in there. We wanted to play our kind of defense, and we did.” Dunn also acknowledged the fine work of Athenas coach Sally Kemp in organizing the tournament. Western gained second spot with a 52-42 victory over Waterloo, and a 71-49 win over Laval. In what turned out to be the game forthird place, Lava1 beat the Athenas 69-45. Although Waterloo’s play during the tournament was not good enough to win any games, there were some very bright spots. In a good display of courage and initiative, Athena guard Jennifer Russell drove to the- basket, which was being surrounded by two CSU ~ players. She went around both for an impressive field goal. The Athenas also outscored both CSU and Western in the second half. On the other hand, the Athenas got off to a very slow start in all three games. Seven times during the tournament they lost possession when the 30 second clock stopped play. Kemp says the “inability of the Waterloo-offence to function well was the whole problem all weekend. It feels like we’re in the middle of October again.” With practice, the Athenas should return to their regular-season form. The next home game for Wate$oo is this Wednesday _ against Guelph.

Perpetual -M&on Graeme Gibson McClelland and Stewart Ltd., 5982

i ’

We are privileged to have Graeme Gibson as our writer-in-residence this term, not only because he has established himself as a novelist with Five Legs( 1969)and Communion( 1971), but because he is the author of a new, successful novel called Perpetual Motion. It is exciting to see our very own writer-inresidence on magazine covers (Books in Canada, November, 1982), and, in featured reviews. Graeme Gibson was on campus last term, spending the majority of his time at St. Jerome’s College. Writers-in-residence usually circulate among the colleges and university, and are available to students who want professional feedback on their writing. So do not hesitate to approach Gibson for instruction and inspiration, but before you go, read Perpetual Motion. It is an exemplary piece of writing and a good old-fashioned tale, meant only in the best sense. These elements, combined with extraordinary insight, make Perpetual Motion a refreshing piece of writing - accessible, enjoyable, thought-provoking. Perpetual Motion is a novel in three parts; the first takes place in l&O, the second in 1865, and the third in 1878-9. At this time, Canada is split up into Upper and Lower parts, the Fenian

raids are a threat to its border9 and thereabides an aura of canserva@sm and repress&on in order to insure unity and survival. The protagonist, Robert Fraser is a new settler in Mad River, a rural area in Southern Ontario. He settles here with his wife Marry, in order to f&ill his dreams. Robert’s dreams do not simply c=snsistof the conservative dspirations for many heirs, fertile fields, and prosperity. His dream includes the impossible - the construction of a perpetual motion machine. A machine like this would challenge nature itself, for in order to create perpetual motion, “the motion of our own solar system around the sun, the planets themselves and all the movement contained within, our moon” must be re-created. Will Nature allow herself to be challenged, to be harnessed, and finally, to be perverted? This question is at the core of Perpetual Motion. It is most evident when Fraser obsessively works on his machine, but the tamperingof Natureand Human Nature plays a predominant part in all the events that take place throughout the novel. A representative of Nature and the superstitious dependence on Nature is Annie Birdwood who “reads the water” which often “speak of trouble” when Robert Fraser is concerned. First of these troublesome omens is the discovery of ancient mammoth bones while Robert is.plowing the back field, then the birth of Angus who greets his father from the xwomb, possessing a feral mantle of fur and mouthful of

teeth, then the slaughter of migrating pigeons~ and then the cutting of the great tree which presides over Robert’s propew. All these are omens which serve as a reminder that Nature will nut succumb,eventhough tried. The mammoth exhibit becomes lostandrefuses to yield profits. Angus, subject of many legends, lives in the wild because he is revulsed by the pigeon slaughter. Ironically, Gibson chooses to write about the carrier pigeon which is now extinct. The cutting of the gre&t tree which Mary loved - for its beauty and stability makes her crazed; she eats obsessively and she imagines Angus sighing in her bedroom. Mad River is truly possessed by mad people, each with their own mad obsessions. However Nature is not always cruel. It provides for little Angus, who is sheltered three nights in a bear’s lair. It provides life for baby Harriett who is protected from exposure by the warmth of a horse’s belly, Nature is an integral character in the novel, rewarding, avenging, enfolding and presiding. It is Nature who decides Robert Fraser’s fate. Perpetual Motion flows easily from one interesting character to another exciting event. It is full of variety with fantastical dreams, legend-like stories, eccentric people and authentic dialogue. It gives fresh insight into our Canadian past and into the mind and heart of the Canadian pioneer. Graeme Gibson’s new novel will enjoy the success of perpetual motion in the realm of Canadian literature.
