A University of Waterloo student is scheduled to appear in court June 24 for a threeday preliminary hearing concerning a series of fires on campus last April. James Anthony Allen, 23, has been charged with wi~~fu~~ystarting aI1 the fires, including the major blaze in the Hagey HalI grad lounge. A preliminary hearing is held to determine whether or not there is enough evidence to send the case to trial. Waterloo Regional Police Detectives Dan Wright and Harry Herbstrieght, wh,o are investigating the fires, could not provide any further information as no evidence has as yet been presented to the courts. The most serious blaze took place April 13 in the third-floor grad lounge in H.agey HaI and caused an estimated $250,000 damage. Ken Randall, of Financial Setices, says the lounge was completely destroyed. Fortunately, the fire doors held, pteventing the fire from spreading to other parts of the building. The lounge contained mostlyptastic furniture, which made the blaze extremely hot. The intense heat cracked the b&k walls and twisted the metal window frames, said Randall. Consequently, two to three brick watts must be replaced.

A special committee of Waterloo councit MS struck in January to study the licensing of lodging houses after a basement boarder died in a Columbia Street lodging house fire. The commitee’s special report, presented to council at the Mondav meeting, calls for the licensing of lodging houses with four or more lodgersto “promote safer and more comfortable accommodation for students or other lodgers”, but in a manner which would not “unduly restrict the supply of housing . . .” Several landlords attended the meeting to protest the planned litensing of lodging houses, claiming the bylaws covered under the pro posed regulations already exist.

O-ITAWA (CUP) - The first private sector initiative in the Ottawa area designed to curb summer unemployment among students is working, but appears to be doing little else to address national student employment. The pilot project, Youth Action ‘86, is the brainchild of Ontario’s commissioner for youth, ex-hockey star Ken Dryden. Ottawa, one of the four cities to respond to Dryden’s appeal, received a s200,008grant from Bell Canada to start a “sales campaign” to solicit job pledges from corporate and residential employers. Youth Action ‘86, modelled after a privately funded campaign in New York, created more than 830 jobs in its first two weeks. Its objectives are to “substantially increase” youth employment, and “focus concern” on youth employment and translate it into effective action. While the five-month campaign has drawn praise from business and government, the largest national student lobby group says the program does not address the larger problem of national unemployment. John Casola, executive officer of the Canadian Federation of Students, says the program is so far confined to Ontario, the province that neds it the least. “It’s a fine intitiative, and the sponsors should be congratulated, but it’s not doing much to address the whole problem,‘* Casola said. “Ontario is already better off than most regions, and regions that are less well off may not be able to gather the resources to make a program like this fly.” Lise Bussiere, a Statistics Canada analyst, said youth unemployment is lowest in Ontario, where, in April, youth unemployment stood at 11.3 per cent. ln Newfoundland in the same month, 33.8 per cent of youth were out of work. The national average was 16.1 per cent. Campaign manager Wolf l%worth said the regional disparity is irrelevant. “[It] doesn’t seem germane. The point is that the project is doing extremely . well in Ottawa,” he said.

Tory @b plan slammed Nuclear proliferation by John Gushue Canadian Universiw Press . OTTAWA (CUP) - The federal government designed its Challenge 86 employment plan to’fund the private sector and ignorenon-profit groups, charges a fivecity coalition of community organizations. Although the government has denied using a quota system to evaluate proposals, proof exists that private sector applications were favoured, says Roger Hollander, a director of the Save Our Summer coalition. “We were devastated when we found out what has been happening. Our groups were always awarded some funding . . . but in April we saw one by one our projects being rejetted or cut,” said Hollander, a director of the 519 Church Street community centre in Toronto. Hollander said the Challenge 86 director for Ontario told a meeting of community groups that quotas were being used. “He told us quite unashamedly that the private sector in Ontario was earmarked for 35 per cent, the nonprofit sector 50 per cent, and the public sector 15 per cent. We couldn’t believe him,” Hollander said. Groups especially hard hit include summer camps, daycare centres, and other community groups that depend on federal summer employment funding to offer regular programs. Many of the* programs will now have to be cancelled because there isn’t money to hire sufficient staff, Hollander said. “Sonie of us lost 10 per cent, some lost 100 per cent. The average has been half or more. The effect is overwhelming,” Hoilander said. Save Our Summer banded together after individual coalitions formed in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver. Hollander said the participants were horrified to find the situation was a crosscountry crisis, and not isolated to one region. The coalition now represents at least 300 community, volunteer, and non-profit groups. Holiander said as many as 100,000 people will not be able to use services they have become accustomed-to, and most do not yet know what has happened. The coalition met with Employment and Immigration minister Flora MacDonald May 26 to bargain for extra money. However, Hollander said MacDonald was not interested in concessions. “She didn’t budge an inch. We laid out city by city what is going on, and she refused to change her position. She said she’s not even responsible for the program.” youth minister Andree Champagne is technically responsible for Challenge ‘86, and although she also attended the meeting, she said no-

thing. Hollander said no one is taking responsibility for what has happened. However, MacDonald and Champagne have both been quick to take praise for this year’s program in the House of Commons, congratulating themselves for the highest number of applications ever - 58,000. “I can say now that Challenge ‘86 is a runaway success,” MacDonald said weeks before the program even began. MacDonald and Champagne have neglected to mention that significantly less money was allocated for this year’s Challenge program. Chaiienge ‘85 awarded $205 million, while Challenge 86’s budget is $180 million. “-l-hat’s not even taking into account inflation,” Hoilander said, adding most students who do find wok will have to live off a minimum wage. Most of the difference between the programs was funnelled toward the June 3 census. MacDonald and Champagne have argued that the private sector will provide greater career-related employment for students. However, a recently released report prepared by employment and immigration on Challenge ‘85 contradicts these statements.’ The repon found: l the public and non-profit sectors provided more career-related employment than the private sector; l students hired by the non-private sector enjoyed their jobs more than those in the private sector; l the private sector jobs would likely have been created without a federal subsidy. NDP youth critic Howard McCurdy said the government has ignored the report to advance its political agenda. “The targets for the program aren’t consistent with the experience of Challenge ‘85. And now many groups have been deprived,” he said. The Canadian Federation of Students has rallied behind the coalition. CFS executive officer John Casola said students aren’t the only ones to suffer because of the government’s priorities for Challenge ‘86. “l-he government has been very short sighted. (Hollander) has been like a prophet telling people of the coming storm. These centres will have to tell parents why there’s no daycare space for their children this summer,” Casola said. ’ Students are getting the short end as well, Casola said. “It’s better to be a camp counsellor than a bus boy,” he said. Hollander said the government has made serious errors that will cost it politically. “They can’t change job strategy like this. They refuse to recognize the human angle; it’s like they have blinders on to what’s going on.” -.

said to be global problem by Flew Macqueen’ Imprint staff

No single country can ensure exported nuclear reactors and equipment won’t be used in weapons development, but the Canadian government can help change international policy, says a department of external affairs spokesman. Mark Moher, director of the nuclear division, discussed Canada’s &clear export policies June 10 at the Waterloo Inn with members of the K-W branch of the Candian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA). Based on the UW campus, this group organizes monthly lectures and conferences to heighten awareness of Canada’s foreign affairs. Moher described the danger of nuclear weapons through sales of reactors as being of utmost importance to the Canadian government, which has’ adpoted strict policies regulating sales. s In 1970, Canada signed the treaty for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons (NPT), which sets minimum safeguards on nuclear exports. With 130 ratifying countries, this treaty is by far the largest international agreement, and should continue to grow Moher said. In 1974, India detonated a nuclear explosive device using plutonium from their CANDU reactor, claiming it was only for peaceful purposes. Following this, tight& Canadian control; on exports were set. The sale of Canadian nuclear reactors is dependent on a government assessment of the political a.nd economic history of the country in question. For a country to enter into nuclear trade with Canada, it must meet certain safety standards. It must be a party to the non-proliferation treaty, it cannot resell the equipment, and it must sign an agreement that the equipment will not be used in connection with nuclear explosive devices. In 1977, an embargo was declared on nuclear exports to countries which had not upgraded their trade agreements with Canada. Moher said this embargo had a long-term effect on our trade relations -with the European Economic Community and Japan, who were placed under embargo, but the move was necessary. Nuclear trade with India was halted in 1976 after Canada’s re-

peated attempts agreements failed.

to

upgrade

When questioned about therecent Chernobyl disaster, Moher said the impact on world-wide nuclear trade is difficult to as-

sess at this time. He said the growing public acceptance for nuclear .energy was destroyed and its use will be significantly dehiyed, but too many countries rely on this energy source for it to fall into disuse.

Jerome’s .aGaids Joe and Stephanie Mancini, co-founders of The Working Centre (a self-help unemployment resource. centre) and the St. John’s Soup Kitchen (both in Kitchener), won the first annual Father Norm Choate Distinguished Alumni Award. Other nominees included David Morrel, author of Rambo and First Blood, and Kathryn Zettel, the first lay woman to serve as chaplain at Wilfrid Laurier University. The award was named after Father Norm Choate, C.R., St. Jerome’s College president and former chaplain and lecturer. The award recognizes a St. Jerome’s graduate who has contributed to his community, province, country, career or church. “Each nominee has been an innovator in his respective field”, said Robert Donelson, director of alumni affairs. ‘The award was presented for the first time during St. Jerome’s alumni dinner June 7.

Diplomatic and economic pressur.e on- S.Am.a must, by Paul Done Imprint Staff Well the mask is finally off the face of South Africa and all you naive idiots out there who thought change through “positive engagement” was possible have had that idea thrown back in your faces by the 20,000 or so brown-shirted, goose-stepping white Afrikaan murderers who attended a Nazistyle orgy of hatred a couple of weeks ago in South Africa. The politicians and feeble-minded “positive engagement” supporters will probably claim fringe elements who attended the rally do not make up the entire South African population, disregarding the fact the niost ruthless, despicable elements of society always become its leaders. This is especially true in South Africa where the bastards have just passed legislation which allows the police to imprison suspects (you can spell that b-l-a-c-k-s) for up to . 180 days without trial on the authority-of a written note from a policeman of rank higher than lieute-.. nant-colonel. Those policemen will have their wrists busy. Anyone who feels apartheid has to end must now face the fac!t that immediate severing of diplomatic and economic ties with South Africa is the only way to exert a pressure that the hatred-addled brains of the white murderers will understand. While the politicians of the world continue to engage in empty rhetoric, no attempts to end apartheid will be initiated by the government of South Africa. actions Apartheid will end - either through taken because of international pressure, (which is at present non-existent) or given time, apartheid will come crashing down in a bloody revolution of such viciousness and ferocity that black/wh!te relations might never recover. A revolution would be the surest way to ensure injustice will remain, with

the difference bbing that, after the revolution, the oppression would be directed towards whatever white population survived the bloodbath. Furthermore, the materialistic element of our population might riot be so pleased at the thought of a revolutionary South Africah government controlling the flow of gold, diamonds, platinum and numerous other natural resources to a tiorld which did absolutely nothing of consequence to aid the blacks in their struggle for freedom. However, economic arguments only deiiact from the real issue: no economic factors can justify not acting immediately to pressure the thugbastards running South Africa to end apartheid. Altering the outward face of apartheid will riot do, the same rights that we enjoy must apply to the entire populatiqn of South Africa. Ecohomic and diplomatic iso!ation is the only way to put pressure on the South African rulers in a form they will be forced to react to. Once their constituents start to suffer, political necessity will force them to,start the process of dismantling apartheid. Once the process has begun, the momentum will bring it to its final conclusion: freedom for all. Let our rhetori&ridden, feeble-willed leaders know their empty threats are no longer enough. The argument blacks would suffer as a result of economic sanctions is ridiculous in the face of the horrendous bloodshed that would accompany a violent revolution. Phone or write to your MP, phone TVstations and newypapers who accept South African advertising, boycott South African food products and attend rallys when they occur. A$ is the case with any crucial issue requiring a moral judgbment, the public must take the lead and the government will follow. Do not depend on your fellow citizens to make things happeh -YOU must make it happen.

is a fair, just, and democratic society? True False Of course we’d ail /ike to believe thyi is true. For some of us, the desire alone will be sufficient to prove the truth. But for others, notably students seeking housing next fall, the facts will speak for themselves. Up against fairness, justice and democracy, we have notions of foul play, corruption, and autocracy. Are any of these typical of Canada? While we’/ike to think not, over the past few weeks the news has to give us pause to reconsider. Fact: the City of Waterloo has established a licensing policy for “boarding houses” L almost entirely this applies to houses in which students live. While it is supposedto guarantee “minimum standards”, especially for fire’ safety and external appearance, it vvi// guarantee fewer rooms at higher prices for students seeking off-campus accommodation. Fact: Because of the cost over-runs on UW President Doug Wright’s pride and joy, the new computer research centre, money for student townhouses on north campus is now unavailable. What many students have struggled to achieve for several years - a constructive effort to address the housing problem - simply isn’t as important to the univer, sity as all the chrome and steel. Fact: The City of Waterloo already prohibits more than five unrelated persons from living in one house. Supposed to prevent over-crowding,

the by-law fails utterly because houses are crowded with four, with six or seven. a house.

This is only the most significant of numerous occurances of landlords adopting .“no student” policies. , It seems, when a landlord has a bad student, he thinks “I’ll stop renting to students, and that will solve the problem.” Of course, the logic is obviously idiotic. When he has a bad family, he doesn’t stop renting to families, or when he has a bad female, he doesn’t stop renting to

females, etc. Why arestudents singled out? Fact: Concern over “fire safety” has triggered

some landlords to call in the Fire Marshall to prevent students from living in basements. While the actual.danger from fire is extraordinarily minute (one person has died in a basement fire in Waterloo in the city’s whole history), the effect could be to remove a huge number of rooms from the market. Increased demand pushes prices up on the rest, right? A tremendous and disproportionate concern has arisen as a result of this one fire death last year. Even student leaders have been duped into thinking that by-laws which include fire safety standards along with

external

appearance

standards

are really

in students’

best interests.

Thousands of K-W residents live in basements without fire exits. Why is there no commensurate concern about the non-student residents? Clearly, “fire safety” is being used as a smokescreen, a red herring to disguise ulterior motives, motives which will result in less housing for

students

at higher

prices.

Generally speaking, students are weak and badly organized. Most are relatively unfamiliar with the geographical area, unfamiliar with the Landlord Tenant Act, -and inexperienced with the problems of keeping house, at least at the beginning. The words “foul play”, “corrupt”, and “autocratic” refer precisely to situations where the weak are exploited by the strong. The strong are those who have the money to own their own homes, and have been

around

long enough

to organize.

Homeowners,

it seems,

don’t like

students. City council keeps hearing about problem student tenants, and is for.ever being asked to implement property standards bylaws or other restrictions to prevent students from living next door. Students are the “niggers” of K-W and like “niggers” -in the southern US., or South Africa, we are okay in principle, but not next door - or so it seems. And while the city neighbourhoods don’t want students, the universities

have been very, very slow to make any effort to pick up the slack since the residences were built in the ’60s. Students rarely can afford bachelor or one-bedroom apartments on their

own.

The cost of such units

starts

at an average

$300 per month.

Sharing a house or a townhouse, or even an apartment brings the student’s rent cost to the range of $100 - $200 per month. Shared accommodation is simply an economic necessity for many students, and everything being done to limit the supply and increase the price will simply hurt students. It will be harder to find a place to live, and it will cost more once it’s found. And all to what end? Higher costs for less accommodation will mean students have less disposable income, disposable income without which a huge proportion of retail enterprises in Waterloo would fold in a few months. It is sordidly unseemly to see people whose livelihood depends on students turning thumbs down on having students as neighbours. , In South Africa we call this principle of “separation of populations” apartheid, and wring our hands at the injustice of it all. In Waterloo we call the same thing “fire safety”. \ To the edilor: Some engineers have reacted to the article by Doug Thompson (Imprint May 16) by withdrawing financial~ support from Imprint and by wearing t-shirts proclaimi ng “I’m a socially stupid engineer and proud of it. Y I think this unreasonable response only verifies what was being explored in the article. Many people on campus do have a bad attitude towards engineers.

Perhaps it has some basis in such actions as stealing pink ties from math frosh and such attitudes as “we’re great, you suck” (as opposed to just “we’re great”). Instead of becoming angry and acting the way they did, w.hy didn’t these engineers consider what might be done to better their public relations? Surely they are not stupid! Michael Bodali Chemistry

To the editor: Once again it raises its ugly head: the seemingly age-old battle of “Engineering versus The World”. Doug Thompson rubs the wound with a few extreme words, mostly gathered fro’m the somewhat relaxed logic of public opinion. He is accused of accusing, and heated foreground and background talk once again uses words like “stereotype” and “ignorance” and everyone seems to speak in a mocking, defensive tone. Most every engineer must read these letters and articles in the Imprint and feel somewhat tired by the fact that this stereotype rides on their backs and is their responsibility to embrace or reject. It is truly unfortunate that one must approach a new social relationship with the extra weight of having to say “I’m in Engineering, but I’m not . . .” Any sensible mature person who knows more than one-engineer must <admit that there really is no such thing as an engineer. There are only people who study engineering. There may be a characteristic mental discipline, but over and above that the variety of personalities, talents and interests in many ways resembles a cross section of society. The mental discipline itself is hardly confined to engineering alone. One cannot really argue that the engineering course load is rigid and demanding, and I doubt that even an engineering student will deny that the entire thing is in some sense a tradeoff. If a course of study seems demanding then it is cutting into human free time that

that of engineering. Would I be out of line to call this a tender or fragile time, where the young people involved are impressionable and immersed in a more extreme part of the process of establishing a personal identity? I need to hear a reasoned argument (a particularly common phrase, it seems) defending the use of the above symbols. I need to hear a reasoned argument explaining why the engineering initiation. process contains Lady Godivas and such. I suspect that such an argument is difficult to present without insulting someone. It may be too much to ask of a new engineering student to enter into this system and react against it so strongly that he or she makes a contrary opinion known. The people who have established themselves in the discipline, the. more senior students, should take on ” more of the responsibility. When engineering students have to defend their humanityBnd their ethical maturity, they are defending against opinions that arise from the symbols with which they are associated. There can be little sympathy, as it is, for those who maintain that engineering’ students are not sexist or childish, if they do not make visible moves to alter the prevailing symbolism. Some do make their opposition known. Those who do not are dangerously close to hypocrisy. Engineering students, as a group, have done some charitable things for Big Sisters and aother organizations. If these were the major (or the only) symbols that represented engineering stu-

dents to society, the prejudices and the resulting reactions would surely soon disappear. To assert, as in one of the responses to Thompson’s article, that non-engineers are such simply because they cringe fearfully at the sight of technical issues is something that I urge anyone to look seriously at. -This person has drawn a line between engineers and the world, and this line is a painfully horizontal one. 1 suggest that the symbols and the related attitudes of this engineer> ing student’s subculture are the major sources of his mindset. I truly hate the fact that this sounds patronizing but there are few ways to say these things. There are small groups of individuals, who for reasons that are not commonly defended in an open atmosphere, contribute to the maintenance of the symbols that represent. engineering. The personality and the strength of the symbolism depends upon their efforts. Unfortunate stereotypes result. It seems that these stereotypes are a battle for some students and a self-fulfilling prophesy for others. It may be just that simple. Are engineering students not tired of all of this yet?

It

wasn’t so long ago that humans were not walking upright. We weren’t designed for study. A jogger can tell you that. From an engineering student’s point of view, peoples’ (and arts students’ (hardy har) opinion of engineering is largely thoughtless and distant. People are intimidated and amazed by the discipline and intelligence of it all. The. hardest thing is bringing yourself down -to earth to talk about how human an engineering student is, and how intense the battle between fife and school rages at times. At other times it is clear that studying is the only thing

the worlct

spending

time and effort on and that the intensity is exciting. Unjust generalized opinions are rarely the result of careful research and sympathetic observation. They are very likely to be caused by some symbolic external propaganda (no governmental connotations). Surely the opinions of those who observe from the outside, when they are not so well informedcan be swayed by a group’s overt symbolism. So what are the symbols of the engineering group? The Rigid Tool, a sea of identical hard hats, the prevalent humour publications? To the external observer, yes. My question to an individual engineering student is why these symbols arouse and most of all why they remain. It appears that the image of engineering is generally consistent almost worldwide. My question is large one and a serious one. Entering university is a mindwrenching experience for nearly all who do it. Changes are extreme, especially at first, and more especially when entering such a demanding discipline as

talk, about

What others think

byTomyork

Boswell: “Would you not wish, above all, to be a youth again?” Johnson: “No, sir, I would not wish to be a youth, for in youth one thinks that everyone is either a spy or an admirer.” Thus said Dr. Johnson in the 18th century, and the situation hasn’t changed. The topic of conversation that comes up most frequently on the UW campus, next to the weather, is “what others think,” or what others may think, or say, if so-and-so does such-and-such. And many people do nothing for fear of censure. You can’t please everyone. And there are times, if the truth be known, that you can’t please anyone. Take Jesus, for example. He compared the good folk of his time to children playing (or, rather, not playing) in the market place. The children sat on opposite sides of the town square, one group calling out to the other: “We sang a funeral dirge and you would not beat your breast in mourning.“The other group responded: “We played the flute for the wedding feast and you did not’ da rice.” ” Spoil sport! Spoil sport!” both sides yelled. One group objected to Jesus with his easy ways and good humour. To these squabbling factions Jesus said, “All you do is give orders and criticize.” So he took account of their criticism and carried on with his mission. Nobody ever accused him of being a bore - or a conformist. A conformist always stands with the majority. A-conformist will change his opinion if the majority changes. John Dryden, poet laureate of England in the 18th century, changes his religion ‘(and political stripe) three times to curry the royal favour. John Bunyan, on the other hand, went to prison rather than change. In prison he wrote his Pilgrim’s Progess, while Dryden wrote court masques. My favourite among stalward standfast types is Martin Luther. When in 1520 he stood before the Emperor Charles V to be tried for heresy, he was asked *‘Was he, or was he not, prepared to recant what he had said contradicting the Council of Constance?” It was then that Luther made his famous statement, “Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me.” For the first time, says the historian Maitland, “The absolute individual confronted the absolute state.” I’m not advocating anarchy, but the courage’of one’s convictions. There’s a wilderness of issues worth fighting for - nuclear disarmament, peace and justice in Central America, equality in the marketplace, rights and freedoms of minority groups : . . you name it. None of these issues has a majority behind it, otherwise they wouldn’t be issues and would require no fight. “The fighting parson who founded the Protestant error,” as James Joyce nicknamed Martin Luther, had his issue and fought hard for it. “The .Reformation” we call it now, in hindsight. What would we call it if Luther had been overly concerned with what others - including the Emperor, and the Pope - thought? ” (The Rev; Dr. Tom York is United oflice is et St. Paul3 CoJlege.)

VAtiCCUVER (CUP) - Students who think they are living iu poverty may be kidding themselves, and should try living on a real poverty budget, says a new report.. The Federated Anti-Poverty Coslition suggests students fast for two days and plan a monthly budget based on the earnings of the average welfare recipient. “Students should be taught about (poverty) because it is reality. It matters,” said Vancouver. school trustee Phil Rankin., “There are 226,273 people on welfare in B.C., and-thousands of their children come to school every day without food, bus fares,.or - money for school outings,” said Rankin. ’ ~ He said university students,-many of whom come from wealthy families, are familiar with short-term poverty, but don’t know much about long-term poverty. Children of welfare recipients, for example, “have their nose stuckin it every day,” he said. “Certainly many (university) students know something about poverty. It’s like being an artist, it is almost expected of you to be poor if you’re a student. But it is a different kind of p’overty,“he said. “University students basically come from privileged circumstances and they should know about those who don’t,” he said.

Sheila Mirza, Political Science graduate and %urrent co-ordinator of the Campus Women’s Centre, recently returned from her sixmonth placement iq Kenya. She described her experience in an interview tiith Imprint. I. Why did’ you join Canadian Crossrtiads International? S. I studied International, Relations and political science at university for four years, but I still didn’t have a feeling for the immediate problems of the developing nations. I was fcustrated that I didn’t know much about the reality of Third World development 9 CC1 is a program that forces you to see all that is and isn’t there -\ pou live and work with the people. There is no insulatitin - their work is your work, theii food is your food, their water source is your water source. When I was recruited for CCI, my idea? were pretty hazy, but I was eager for the challenge I felt it would bresent . I. What were the reactions of your friends and family wheri you joined? S. Most people were disbelieving, but everyone thought it was a great opportunity. Some people, especially older women, admired my courage - but it was more hope and ‘ignorance thdn courage! I think. ,a lot of my close friends realty didn’t believe I’d go until I tias actually go.ne . I. What were your feelings before you embarked on your hdventure? S. I wai really excited about my journey. It had an air of unreality Africa was the unknown. You can’t really prepare for such an adventure

- you’ve got to jump in with both feet and hope for the best: I don’t think I realized the extent . ,of my committment until we were lbaving Montreal on our way to Nairobi. And then, when it was too late, I thought “Oh my God, what have I done?” I. What did you do while you were there? S. My placement was at a girts’ boarding school in the w?sternmost province of Kenya.- I organized a Iibrary for high-school age girts. Oc’ casionalty I also worked in a health clinic, and on my visits to other Crossroaders I ta@ht some classes. It was fantastic to be giveu, the opportunity to get to know the girls - we were so eager30 exchange viewpoints about oui- diverse lifes- : tyles. I think it was a leaming,expeeence for my Ftudents - they learned that North Americans ha& problems tbo, often similar to their 0~. And I caught glimpses of a culture that is so different from ours, a way of vitiwing life that is completely different. The exchange of viewFints a-nd knowledge wag invatbab(e. I. What were your- tiviig arrange,ments? S. I was pretty lucky as far as tiying arrangements went. Comparatively speaking, I had a luxury placement. I J. was housed in a two-bedroom bungalow that had electricity (most of . the time) and running water (some of the time). Most of the other Crossroaders were in much m&e rural areas with no indoor running water, no flush toilet, and no electricity. When my water was off due to shortages, I hauled water in’from the rain ‘tank, and when that ,dried a up the girlscarried water up from the river. I had to be very careful of the food I ate and the water I drank’. AU water - even tap water - had to be boiled before I could drink it. Precautiotis were also taken tiith food: everything was cooked e’xcept peelable fruit and vegetables. Food wa‘s inexpensive compared to N&h American prices - $0.16 for a pineapple, $1.20 for a kilo of beef, $0.56 for a pound of rice - but imported food yas very expensive. I * realty missed having ice cream and I-Ieinz Ketchup. Everyohe drank Coke - everywhere. Even in the hottest and most ,remote parts of the Northern desert, Coke was hvaitable - warm. ,I. Did you find it difficult re-adjusting to Canadian life? S. I really didn’t expect that I would have a difficult time re-adjusting to Canadian life, but I did. I remember going to the corner variety store on my first day back and being cornpletety overwhelmed. There was so much of everything in-the store! It was amazing after having -so few products avaittibte in the town in which I lived. + It took a white to get used to the overabundance of everything. I hgve much different ideas about what I ieatly need now. I. Would you go back? S. I would \love to go back. I learned so much from the people at my placement - a whole different set of values agd way of looking at the world. I’-also learned a great deal about who I am and where I fit in. Th& kind of knowledge is invaluable. *****************

bv Steve Kannon I&print staff The only thing more exciting than the Das Furlines show at Fed Hall June. 5 was the band members themselves. The Furlines, five interesting (classic understatement) women from NYC, breathed some muchneeded life into this area’s music scene. All too often, the local live offerings have been dominated by second and third-rate bands filled with their own self-( un)importance. Wendy Wild, Deb O’Nair, Holly Hemlock, Liz Love and Rachel Amodeo have completely avoided this common pitfall. “We’re just tired-out with so many bands taking themselves too se’riously,” said Holly about the Das Furlines’ particular musical attitudes. “We don’t take ourselves seriously, we’re here to have fun.”

Review \

by Paul Done The Maneaters and Das Furlines, two all-girl bands from New York City, provided one of the best night’s entertainment that has come to Fed Hall in a long, long time before a sparse but energetic crowd June 5. Playing first, The Maneaters were a very good straight-ahead garage group playing with both enthusiasm and competence. Their influences, The Chocolate Watchband, the 13th Floor Elevators and the Standells, were clearly -evident throughout the show in the playing of all the instruments. Das Furlines were another matter entirely: they resembled a group of punk figure skaters in their velvet skating dresses (bought just that morning at a thrift store in London), high heels and extravagent jewelery. Musically, they resemble The Rolling Stones circa 1965 playing polkas while tripping on acid. If that sounds bizarre, believe me it is! The most important aspect of Das Furline ‘s zany appeal is their sense of fun and completeirreverence. They accomplished what would seem an impossible task by getting some of the audience to polka in June, no less. Having done that, one’s mind boggles at the reaction they would receive playing before a crowd of drunken Oktoberfesting students. It’s too bad that the most adventurous show B. Ent has put on in ages was greeted with such a lacklustre turnout. Here’s hoping that Deb O’Nair, Vixen of the VOX Organ andTemptressof the Tambourine, will return along with the rest of Das Furlines and The Maneaters for another engagement during Oktoberfest. Prosit!!

From all appearances, both on and off stage, they’re doing just that. ’ Covers of the Monks and original pieces - “we don’t like to say which are which,” says VOX organist Deb O’Nair - make up the Furlines’ repertoire. The Monks - five GIs stationed in Germany in 1966 who went AWOI-, shaved round spots on their heads and knocked the audiences dead all over Germany - provide the group’s main musical inspiration. This strange influence gives the band its unique musical blend of polka, bohemia, psychedelia and dementia. The resulting sound - The Smenge Brothers meet the Ramones - is raw and exciting. “We’re a psychadelic garageband with a polka kinda swing,” said Liz, bass, in a pre-concert interview in the Fed Hall ladies’ room. “The music is still a little raw.” The stop in Waterloo - “It’s so conservative here” was number

Four Bands at the Princess by Ancirew Saikali imprint staff Two weeks ago, the Princess Cinema presented a live concert feat. uring four K-W bands: Carnival Glass, Garden Bower, Rank Unknown, and East Avenue Energy. By way of a sweeping generalization, the three hour experience bore more than a little similarity to a coffee house jam session. Carnival Glass performed three moody, neo-psyc hedelic pieces. The playing was OK,* but each member seemed overly entranced by his own performance, lacking in both band and audience interaction. Even during the more upbeat sections of their set, the musicians remained seated. That’s fine for the drummer, but it made the otherwise talented guitarist and bassist seem lifeless. Garden Bower was much moretogether, interacting more with each other, and almost appearing to enjoy themselves. And they had talent, although a bit more audience contact would help - facing the audience would be a good starting ~ point. Their sound was tight and bal-

anced - the guitarists and bassist at centre stage, with drummer and percussionist at either end. The band has no vocalist, but does compensate for this. One song employed the Carnival Glass bassist as a poem-reader. Another song featured an out-of-focus, but arty film as a backdrop for the musicians - an experiment that worked. One did not feel the need for a vocalist. The Garden Bower guitarist - apparently the band’s ringleader, came up with some enjoyable sitar-like guitar work, making his band the highlight of the evening: Rank Unknown (guitarist with wawa pedal, plus the bassist and guitarist from Carnival Glass) put out airy, folksy, I-wannadrift-awayand-be-free type music. And then there was East Avenue Energy. Art rock is great if it is done well. . . if long, epic songs are cohesive, balancing the acoustic with the upbeat electric, and if the focal point of the band (usually the vocalist) is entertaining and interactive. ’ Herein lies the problem. East Avenue Atrophy, comprising seem-

ingly countless personnel, had technical ability, but failed to communicate that talent to, the audience, the people who are there for some entertainment. . Noteworthy were the acoustic guitarists - technically quite accomplished, and salvaging an otherwise painful experience. The female vocalist and the flautist/backing vocalist were also excellent. They, the guitarists and the harmonica player ‘deserved better. As for the male vocalist, he primarily recited poetry and, sadly, was the focal point of the band. He delivered nothing but pretentious, pseudo-erotic lyrics, squirming and posturing like an alien in heat. I’ve never seen anyone quite so wrapped up in his own melodramatic erotica before. It’s nice to know art rock is still around, but someone better let these guys know that there is a right way to do it - cohesively, interactively, and most of all to convey all this to a patient audience seeking more than a second rate coffeehouse jam session. Break out the espresso!!

by Paul Done Imprint staff the evening visits . . . , the debut domestic release from the apartments, is an absolutely perfect album for summer listening. In the same way last year’s Everything But The Girl’s Love Not Money provided the backdrop for many a sweltering night and day of summer restiveness, the evening visits produces an aura of stillness. Peter Walsh and Bruce Carrick craft wonderful little songs, each one producing a greater and greater sense of peacefulness. Thus, it is hard to pick out specific tracks for comment since each one is lessened by its removal from the whole. This having been said, however, Sunset Hotel and What’s The Morning For? stand out above the rest. Like The Cocteau Twins without the adolescent mysticism, the evening visits is like a warm breeze ruffling your hair on a hot, humid July night tickling and tugging your consciousness deeper and deeper into a state of blissful sloth.

by Mike O’Driscoll Imprint Staff Eleven years ago, Lou Reed released “Metal Music Machine”. . .64 minutes and 4 seconds of mindless screeching intended to prove to loyal fans he would never bow down before an alter of commercialism. Well now, the man in question has treated the sacrificial lamb to a big, wet kiss Reed’s latest release, Mistrial, is proof the guitarist/singer is definitely headed in a new direction. Gone is the “monster” of rock and roll, gone is the ugly caricature of a street-wise punk--enter the new Lou. This latest effort continues in the same vein as his previous album New Sensations in that Reed seems to have found the key to danceable, entertaining, and sometimes meaningful music. Although Mistrial is not quite up to par with the preceeding work, it is still worth a spin. The work has several high points including ZVo Money Down, Video Violence and The Original Wrapper, the latter of which gives Reed & chance to rap out a politically tinged message for the likes of Ronald Reagan and Jerry Falwell. The. title track is the musician’s effort to shake the slanderous labels of yesterday, while Don’t Hurt a Wornan and Outside give the album an honest personal touch. Unfortunately, the album tends to fizzle out as it comes to a close. The last two tracks, 1 Rernernber You. and ‘Tel It to Your Heart, are nothing but unimaginative filler.. .an anti-climax to the undulating fervor of the work. Reed goes heavy on the drum machine this time around, a debatable tool for someone once known for spontaneity and natural rawness. But at the same time, the album’s punchy, up-beat sound shows that the ‘man knows how to make the best of the instruments and musicians around him. Several notables make appearances on the album. Long-time compatriate Fernando Saunders oozes his way through the tracks with bass lines that compliment Reed’s sound. Panama’s outspoken Salsa singer, Ruben Blades, performs back up vocals on two tracks, while Reed’s partner in rhyme, poet Jim Carroll, lends his voice on Video Violence. ‘* Probably the most fascinating aspect of this album, (other than its unbelievably tacky cover,) is its testimony to the radical shift Reed has made in both his lifestyle and his music. The gaunt junkie of legend has now become a reserved, loving husband. But after 19 years in the industry, our leather-clad hero has proven he can still rock and roll. Despite its merits, if you’re a hardcore VU. fan, this slice of vinyl might not be for you. Mistrial is hardly what one would expect from the man who created rock’s first gay anthem, and who once said people should do drugs because “they’re better than Monopoly.”

Imprint staff by Charles Mak I was given to believe that Chalk Circle would come out with a fairly auspicious deb,ut album. After all, they did win an ‘award at last year’s CASBYs. Their single, April Fool, with its reverb guitaring and vivaciously booming sound certainly intensified my belief. On hearing the album in its entirety, I realized any notion of distinctiveness and greatness was just wishful thinking. The Great Lake is banaland unimaginative and don’t let the rather fallacious-sounding title lead you, to think otherwise. * The big problem with Chalk Circle is they sound just like any other guitar-jangling dementia band such as Breeding Ground or Smash Pal&e. One gets the impression the songs are all too familiar, and Chris T&t’s vocalizing hype is certainly familiar. He sounds like a cross between&m Kerr of Simple Minds and Bono of U2. The songs themselves are rather stupidly titled. 1 don’t really see how Chalk Circle is supposed- to sell itself with comic book titles such as Superman (meets the man of steel). Someone has got to give Chalk Circle a direction and a distinct style, leading them away from the generic quagmire of the Queen Street sound we hear too often these days. Fortunately for the band, they have only six songs to their name, so there is plenty of room for improvement, so to speak. gontinued .from below they were still in the powder stage. Although it contains some potential garage punk classics like End of Time and X-Ray Eyes, which are both musically and lyrically equal to anything that’s been put on a Pebbles compilation, the songs fall short

with their grungeless production and painfully Off-key vocals. As a document of the Dundrells’ early period, the cassette serves well but your money might be better spent on seeing them live or on their new L.P., now in the works. ,

by Paul Done Imprint staff Though there is some great music on Rough Trade Compil&ion, it seems there was some confusion as to whether the package was a promotional tool to give the release of a number of Rough Trade albums a push or whether it was supposed to be a commodity in itself. First the good stuff: the tracks from Microdisney, Float Up C.P. and Jonathan Richman are great. ‘The best track on the album is We//, Well, Well from the consistentlygodlike Woodentops. It is another mutant, epileptic rockabilly-based pop song which goes far deeper than evident at first listen. Horace Andy contributes E/ernentary, a fair bit of electro-reggae

while Vie “expresso” Godard checks in with a- wonderfully lightweight bit of cocktail-lounge jjzz !which makes Sade (pronounced shal-low) sound like Miles Davis,. The album does contain some contradictions though; one track from The Smiths, Rough Trade’s biggest seller, is Miserajde Lie, from the band’s first album released in early 1984. There. are a lot of Smiths B-sides and other tracks which would have been far more representative contributions. Also, if this is a promotional tool, why isn’t there a track from the new (and great) Linton Kwesi Johnson live LP or from The Queen is Dead, the forthcoming Smiths album? If you don’t have the songs on this album, Rough Trade Compilation is a fine introduction to the music of one of England’s better independent “labels. Unfortunately, there is little on this album to appeal to Rough Trade initiates. k

At the El Mocambo, they included The Moving Sidewalk’s classic 99th floor, the video for which is shown fairly rbgularly on MuchMusic. Appropriately enough, the best songs of the evening were She To/a’ Me Lies and Stop!, their own compositions.

However great Stoi! may be, the main strength of The Chesterfield Kings is their supercharged live show.

Vital Sines Rivoli - June *

by Paul Done Imprint Staff In the half-year or so since they played Fed. Hall, Vital Sines have replaced their guitarist and driven to an entirely new plateau of musical achievement. Their sound is harder and funkier than ever before and their show June 7 at the Rivoli demonstrated a purpose and vitality never before indicated. Lead singer Rick Winkle, looking splendid ii a Depeche Mode-style black skirt. has toned down the empty theatrics to which he once so frequently succumbed. Though his forced baritone still sounds out-ofplace in such a striking musical landscape, it no longer grates on the nerves with suchlacuteness. Having progressed beyond the dark thumping of Hype and Collage, their two best-known songs, Vital Sines music presents a solid, metallic wall of noise beating with immense force against every part of the body. If your body fails you, you need only lean against the physical presence of the sound for support. Vital Sines are best when the volume is turned up so loud the speakers begin to distort the sound and your mind feels in danger of beins ripped from its moorings - then you can submit to the life-affirming, cathartic roar. No Vital Sines review is complete without some mention of Glenn Milthem’s drumming. It forms the

Boys are smart, btit ‘giris are smakter, says,ClWk fencing -maestro,Dr. P area DWerta by Jo-Anne Langley Imprint &aff

When Dr. Mare0 DXlerta came to Canada 17 months ago to further his career, he was disappointed with the UW fencing club. But the 1984 U.S. Olympic maestro admits he has seen much improvement since his arrival. D’Alerta says club ‘members had been developing strange habits in their form, but is quick to point out that most of the problems have been ironed-out and certain members of the club could be ranked nationally if they were given a chance. Unfortunately, fencing at UW falls into that endless abyss of disciplin& no one really cares about. Says D’Alerta, “it is a big crime of this university to not give credit to students for fencing because, if a student receives credit, it will build enthusiasm, a desire to compete and win, which will in turn credit the university”. DYJerta’s wife, as well, gives freely of her time to work with the 40 club members. She has found Waterloo to be challenging and . “ . -- and ” rewarding -. says that --ot all tencers, Canadian students are the most enthusiastic”. The advanced fencers, who have stuck. it out . for . more -. than . . one~ term, work closely with the beginners, teaching the techniques the D’Alertas have tauaht them.

DAlerta is a fourthgeneration maestro and teaches, aside from a computer analysis system which finds the best style for individual fencers, a tech.nique which his been handed down from century to century.

Shin Splints.?+ by JoAnn

Hutchison

Are you suffering from excruciating pain in the lower legs on the inside and outside of the shin bones? If you are, you are likely suffering from an annoying and painful form of muscle soreness called Shin Splints. Shin splints should not be ignored because they sometimes signal a deeper problem such as a stress fracture. They can also turn int& an inflamed chronic condition which makes even walking a painful experience. To prevent shin spli$s, you need to be aware of their common causes. Training, jog’ging, or even walking for too long and tpo vigourously for the fitness of the muscles can cause shin splints. Often,this happens when ,a person starts to exercise, but it can happen anytime if a person pushes too hard. Shin splints can also be caused by lack of flexibijity in the calf tiuscles and achilles tendons or by improper warm-up or cool-down. To prevent this problem, stretch and strengthen the lower leg muscles with early season excercises. These exercises could be: stretching the calves by leaning against a wall with your hands and slowly pressing the heels as close to the ground as you can; sit in a chaic and lift the toes of one foot while pressing down on them with the other foot; and lifting weighted objects with your toes. These excercises should be continued as a part of a warm-up and cool-down program. Shin splints are also caused by jolting shocks to the muscles from jumping or landing too hard on unyielding surfaces. Muscles can also be harmed by poor running techniques such as running on the ball instead of the heel of the foot, overstriging, landing on the inside instead of the outside of the foot and by stiff knee and ankle action. Inadequate cushioning in the heel of a shoe can also cause problems. People who exercise should try to improve their technique by concentrating on “soft landings”, using a “heel-toe’ action and by having loose ankles and knees so they can better absorb the shbck. If possible, exercise on shock absorbent surfaces such as grass. Make sure your shoes have a good heel cushion and if you have new shoes with thick, inflexible ‘holes, avoid long walks in them. Shoes should also fit properly, shoes that are too loose or ttio tight can cause a change in the foot’s strike, causifig unaccustomed strain on the shock-absorbing muscles. If you are already suffering (from this painful condition, ease off on exercise intensity for a few days..Following a workout, the legs should be soaked in hot water for 15 to 20 minutes. While you sleep overnight, the application of hot packs consisting of a thin layer of Vaseline covered by analgesic balm and a loose bandage may be beneficial. If these measures do not work, rest and consult youi physician concerning possible complications. Shin splints are not pleasant. To avoid them be sensible and iake the suggested preventative measur?s. If you think you are getting them, start treatment early. Remember a few days of less intense exercise is better than losing a few weeks due to shin splints. \

Murphy Recreation

Welcome to the 156 teams participating in recreation sports,. This term recreation sports consists of five leagues - broombill, volleyball, slo-pitch, ball hockey and innertube waterpolo. Each league has been operating for about three weeks. Broomballers slide on over to the Columbia Icefield every Wednesday and Thursday evening to sweep the ice. The maintenance persons at the arena love !these participants. Of the 24 team names, some capture the spirit of the game such as “Riunite on Ice”, “Broombusters”, and “Taste My Coopers”. A Ch-allenge Day is scheduled for June 2% Please contact the Campus Recreation office if you are interested. Volleyball takes to the courts on Thursday evenings, with 42 teams blocking, spiking and serving to teams representing enginzering, math and recreation. Teams ,representing other student populations include Village, St. Jerome’s and Renison. A c&lleng& evening is being organized by Paula Gardener, Ext. 4520, for iulv 10 and fuly 17r The lariesi league this term is co-ret slo-pitch with 70 teams that average 12 players per team - a total of 840 participants. Is there a future Reggie among the masses? It has been noted that the co-ret slo-pitch league has fun! One hears laughing and words of encouragement all over the playing fields on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. The “Imbibing Basemen”, “Hope for Rain”, “Free the RqdiSquirrels”, “Out of Cal”, “Flying Control’*, . .and are . .“Base Curvers” --2- ALsome ot the team names - 111 Lyle ,. league. A challenge day is set tor Saturday, July 19. An enthusiastic league, ball hockey, shoots and scores on Monday and Tuesday evenings at Seagram Stadium. The seven teams were more than willing to

accommodate the scheduled times. The answer remains to the question “vow many continuous games can Walter Cianiarani’s “Fighting Aardvarks“ play?” A final challenge is beink organized for the week Qf July 14 and 15.

Last, but not least, is the innertube waterpolo league which has shown good participation to date. Ten teams float, ‘paddle,

and navigate around the PACpool Monday evenings. The objective of this modified form of. Waterpolo is to score on the goalie by passing and rushing the ball up dr down stream; the catch being the player with possession musi be sitting in his innertube. Very interesting! A schedule for the second htilf of the season will soon be determined.

HaWway there, by Cynthia Floyd Campus Recreation

Now that we’ve just completed the-sixth week of classes {what a scary thought, we’re half way) i can finally say all of our instructional programs are running smoothly. I think the word is out on campus that it’s trendy to be seen with a racquet because tennis and squash were definitely our number one sellers. The two programs attracted 172 and 109 participants respectively.

Once again the social da&e program was filled to capacity on registration day. There are 101 people in just two classes, however we have 11 more males registered than females. So if there are any women out there who wanted to take classes but didn’t have a chance to register, we may still be able to squeeze you in. There is lots of neat stuff going on in Campus Recreation this term, why dtin’t you come <on outand investigate for you~3e’lf~
