This group plays a specific role in the intemational protection of human rights by focussing its activities to help “prisoners of conscience” by: - Seeking the release of these prisoners of conscience. These are p pie being detained anywhere for their uniqueness, who have not used or advocated violence. - Working to provide fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and on behalf of those that are being detained without charge or trial. - Opposing the death penalty and unnecessary torture or other cruel3 inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment of all prisoners without reservation.

Ways of contributing to the work ot Amnesty include donating money through regular financial contributions, devote time as a member through a local group or one of severa1 Networks. Local Amnesty lnternational Groups such as the one on campus consist of at least 10 people who meet regularly in their communities and work collectively to promote Amnesty international’s goals. Regular meetings are held on Monday nights from 7*30 to 10 p.m. in CC 110 for any interested people. Group activities include letter-writing on behalf of one or two adopted prisoners of conscience, local publicity about Amnesty International and its work, fundraising, and participation in worldwide campaigns directed at individual countries or on special themes. The Letter-Writing Network is a way to participate individually in Amnesty International’s letter-writing activities. Membership with Group 118 involves a fee of $12 which provides for your subscription to the Letter Writing Network news, which ap %pears 10 times a year as part of The Bulletin and The Candle. This in forms the member about current ap peals for prisoners which are featured in these issues. If it is found that there is a prisoner of conscience, the individual case will be allocated to one of the move merit’s around the world. The group which is comprised of local Amnesty International members will study the background to the case and then begin writing to the responsible au thorities, appealing for the prisoners’ immediate and unconditional release. Group 118 just acquired their group number which entitles them to a prisoner to work on his/her immediate and unconditional release. The work takes months, maybe even years. Letter after letter goes to cabinet ministers and prison officials. The members try to get publicity about their adopted prisoner in the local press. They go to the foreign embassy, or trade delegation in their country. They get prominent people to sign appeals. If they can contact the prisoner’s family, they can send relief parcels and begin corresponding with the prisoner. The postcards, telegrams and par eels are getting through. Letters come back, many of them smuggled out of prison but at least its working. Once a case is taken up for adoption, ~e;;~intemational never gives up International publicity about their case is important, so is the constant stream of letters and appeals. Amnesty International missions often in tetiew prisoners and may include doctors to examine torture victims. Amnesty medical groups help to -secure better treatment for the prisoners and independent care and rehabilitation after their release. Re lief funds are raised for food, clothing, and other aid, both for prisoners and their families.

Senate to study system to end scheduling conflicts Senate has given the go-ahead to a study which could see UW adopt a fMed scheduling system, one that would give students their timetables months in advance of a new term. A recommendation that Waterloo move toward fKed schedules was brought to senate Nov. 17 by philosophy professor Rolf George. A motion was passed to study the option, with a committee reporting back to senate and the student relations committee when its findings are complete. George used the system in place at Purdue University in Indiana as an example of the efficiency of fKed scheduling.ln his submission to senate, he said students should be given their timetables prior to preregistration and that changes should be kept to a minimum. Knowing their schedules well in
advance would allow students to setup conflict-free schedules and to accommodate part-time jobs or other extra-curricular activities. Registrar Trevor Boyes said this week the concept has been looked at before but nothing was ever done. An ad hoc committee should h formed this term k~ begin the pro cess of studying George’s proposal, he said.’ The goal will be to get input from all the groups involved in the scheduling process. “This is a different philosophy for Waterloo, (we need) something everyone can agree on . . . we can call that a fKed timetable,” said Boyes. The biggest factor, he said, will be the amount of change such a system will mean for the university. There are going to be trade-offs, but if UW is going to adopt the proposed system, “ we probably should do it sooner
than later*. Ian Mitchell, an Arts student senator, said he has mixed feelings about the proposal. “I’m not really sure that fwed schedules are a good idea. It would take away some of the freedoms and flexibility at the university,” he said. “(However), it would clean-up some of the scheduling hassles.” An amendment to George’s mo tion, which will see the ad hoc committee reporting back to senate and the student relations committee, should allow for maximum input, he said. The motion was approved by a large majority, he said. No timetable has been set for the committee to report back to senate, said Boyes. The best results will occur if all angles are taken into consideration. This kind of change “is nothing to rush into,“he said.
A history of food and wine is subject of hew book Food and drink will be the tasteful topic of discussion Nov. 28 when Words Worth Books of Waterloo hosts wine expert Tony Aspler and CBC commentator Margaret Visser at the Seagram Museum. Aspler is the author of two new books. One, entitled the Wine Lover Dines, is jointly written with master chef Jacques Marie. It presents a complete guide to matching wine with all types of food, from soup to
desserts. The book includes 72 recipes from 20 countries. Aspler’s second book is a pocket guide to the selecting and serving of wine. Tony Aspler’s International Guide to Wine surveys the wines of the world by region and makes recommendations about the best choices. It is co-written with John Lindsay. Margaret Visser, one of the CBC’s most popular contributors, often
takes a look at the mythology and meaning of everyday items. In her new book, Much Depends on Dinner - The History and Mythology of a Meal, Visser shows how imagination, tradition, politics, science and technology are associated with the foods we eat everyday. Visser teaches classics at the University of Toronto and at York University.

* On Tuesday, November 18, I attended RS 221 taught at Conrad Grebel - a course on sects, cults and new religious movements taught by Prof. R. Sawatsky and Prof. C. Redekop. Sawatski told Imprint that UW Economics Prof. John Hotson would be explaining his problems with the press, and in particular with the Imprint at the class. He was interested in how the public understands issues in a particular way and how the press distorts issues. The invitation was extended to Imprint’s news editor, Janice Nicholls who was invited to defend her comment piece which appeared in last week’s Imprint. She declined the invitation on the basis that there was no wrongdoing to defend. I ended upLgoing and was amazed to find out that Prof. Sawatsky had not informed Prof. Hotson that we had declined. Instead for 2 hours Prof. Hotson attacked the Imprint. Without us there to defend ourselves the whole episode became a nasty case of insulting people behind their backs, especially when he inaccurately used a student’s name in an unfair way. Not only did Prof. Hotson attempt to make the Imprint look bad but he misled the class on numerous issues which I was later able to correct. For example Prof. Hotson claimed the Imprint changed parts of his letter to the editor purposely to take the heart out of it - an unfounded and utterly false accusation. In fact what happened is that we told Prof. Hotson his letter was too long and it couldn’t go in unless it was shortened. He made no attempt to change it but insisted that it be run. We had to shorten it by removing a list of names of the Hunger Project’s Board of Oirectors. As it ran, it was considerably over the 200 word limit that was made clear to Prof. Hotson. It is obvious that Prof. Hotson was irresponsible and attempted to blame his irresponsibility on the Imprint. That professor Hotson should stoop to inflicting his personal problems with students on a class is appalling. I found it interesting as an observer but if I was enrolled in that class I would not have appreciated this dumping of problems on me especially since Prof. Sawatsky used it as filler because. he had nothing else planned for that class. The students enrolled in that class, being a captive audience, had no choice but The opinions

to endure professor Hotson’s rhetorical histrionics. If Prof. Hotson wants to seek redress of his grievances, he should go to the source of the problem and refrain from using Prof. Sawatsky’s class. It was in bad taste that Prof. Sawatsky tried to initiate such an event within his own class. He should have stayed away from the issue. The classroom is not the place to be insulting students or student organizations on campus and especially not the place to attack individual students in their absence. Professor Sawatsky said his reason for inviting us was to provide an example for his class of media distortion. (There’s scholastic objectivity for you!)

My response is that we report the facts. If it is untrue then the libel laws of Canada allow ample recourse. Prof. Sawatsky’s class proved there are some professors on this campus who abuse their positions to grind their personal axes. I’m concerned that the administration has no control over this kind of behaviour within the class and that professors are wa?ing,our money and time. If this is any indication of what both Prof. Sawatsky and Prof. tiotson feel should be presen+ed in class then they would be well advised to do the honourable thing and resign. They should find a more appropriate place to flog their personal crusades.

In blatant disregard for the’history of discrimination against homosexuals, members of both the Liberal and Conservative parties are expected to withhold support for new legislation which would. protect the rights of Ontario’s gay community. Bill 7, which proposes to amend the Ontario >Human Rights Code to ban discrimination in em,ployment, housing, and public services, could be -before the Ontario Legislature this coming weekfor final reading. The political arena has been bombarded with letters and petitions from both sides on ‘the issue of inclusion of sexual orientation as a oasis upon which discrimination would be illegal. On the pro side are CGRO (Coalition for Gay Rights in Ontario), most of the unions, most university faculty associations, certain of the Protestant churches and unofficial Catholic support, and a number of other groups. Against passing of the bill are a number of groups joined under the umbrella of the Coalition for Family Values (see Imprint, Nov. 14, 1986). The NDP, a long time, supporter of the bill, is pushing for its passage - as usualt the New Democrats are the only party driving for enactment of human rights issues. The Liberals, in typical liberalmiddle-of-the-road politics, are divided - some MPPs are for the amendment, siding with the NDP and the supporters of the sexual orientation amendment; some staunch right-wing Liberals opposing, and some, fearing the possible back-lash of their right-wing or fundamentalist constituents, are waffling on the iss.ue, still uncertain how they should vote - with their conscience, or with supposed “political propriety”. The “Progressive” Conservatives, predominantly opposed to the amendment to Bill 7, are opting for “clarification on the issue”, which amounts to stalling. Constantly worried about their supporters whom they presume are against this issue, the PCs
are attempting to hold up the passing of Bill 7 yet ’ ,again.‘The bill has been before the provincial government in one form or another many times before, and has been stalled each time. The various organizations opposed to the bill are using arguments such as: “Homosexuals will be given special legal status”, “Gays already have the same civil rights as others”, and “sexual orientation is really just an optional lifestyle and isn’t worthy of protection”. The bill is not giving special status to Gays, but only prohibiting discrimination. Civil rights are not the same for Gays as for other groups. There is significant evidence of discrimination in the areas of housing and employment against Gays. In Quebec, where there is legislated protection for gay men and women, in the last year, just as many cases of discrimination against homosexuals were reported as against people based on race. In Ontario, because sexual orientation is not included in the Code, official statistics are not recorded. However, unofficial compilations show there is a significant problem with discrimination in this province. With a 1985 Gallup poll indicating 69 percent of Ontarians were in favour of inclusion of sexual orientation in the anti-discrimination laws, the Ontario Legislature is still up in arms, not sure whether ‘they should pass this bill as it now stands or not. As usual, vocal fundamentalist groups, such as the Coalition for Family Values, are pressuring the government to abandon the sexual orientation amendment to the bill. Passage of the bill would undoubtedly proceed without a hitch if this were the case. It appears that the only way Bill 7 will pass through the Ontario Legislature unchanged is with hard public pressure during this coming week. Unfortunately for the democratic system, it is the noisy and the prejudiced who have their opinions heard at Queen’s Park; the average citizen, who is far more rational in most cases, has been sitting idly by, thinking, in the typically Canadian ,apathetic way, that everything will come out for the best It is time to stop letting the “other guy” speak up on the issues.

To the editor, Jim Mullen and the “compassionate” church college chaplain who has “not yet noticed a positive correlation of happiness with acceptance of homosexuality” (Imprint, Nov. 14) may escape with unkind trap of close-mindedness by meeting some abnormally happy (isn’t that what gay means?) people. In a society that generally discriminates against people who are different, I consider my “weakness” (why does Mullen think self-acceptance is weak?) to be one of my finest strengths.
.
Saying homosexuality is “wrong” without meeting people who are happy (and gay) is considerably less compassionate that finding out about it first. The Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo (GLLOW) coffeehouse is on Wednesday nights from 8 to 11 in CC1 10 and volunteer counselors answer the phoneline (884-GLOW) weeknights between 7 and 10 should Mr. Mullen or the chaplain desire to relieve themselves of their ignorance.

Homosexuality To ihe editor, I would like to compliment Jim Mullen on his letter”Gays should seek to overcome weaknesses” (Imprint, Nov. 14). He made some very intefesting points. I would like to voice my concern about some of the comments in Chris Gerrard’s columns. Contrary to popular opinion among homosexuals, not all of us who oppose your lifestyle are extreme, right-wing, reactionary crazies who hate gays (and other minority groups for that matter) and oppose equality.

To the editor, This is concerning my article, UW 4th in x-Country, which appeared in last week’s Imprint. Shortly after distribution of the paper, one of the captains of the cross country team informed me II had not done a very good of reporting on the team’s performance at the CIAU . championships. Consequently, I would like to make amends. . This is my second year of running with the team. As the only guy in Arts who was available, I seemed a natural to be this year’s team reporter. I immediately decided my object in writing on cross country would be truth - no bias would appear in my writing. In trying to avoid any bias in favour of the team, however, I displayed a negative attitude toward the Warriors. This realization only hit me when I discovered the team’s reaction to my article. I also asked myself why I should be ’ trying to avoid being biased. After all, I am the team’s reporter, not Imprint’s The publicity a team received is a major factor in the recognition.

By the way, Chris, I’m curious as to why you use a pseudonym if you think that homosexuals should come out of the closet. You should be leading the way.

as’ cheerleader
which it. is accorded. Waterloo, unfortunately, is seriously laqking in school spirit and this is most visibly reflected in the perception the student body has about sports. There is a great deal of apathy on this campus. Most of our teams, including most of the “profile” ones like basketball, volleyball, hockey and rugby, are competitive provincially or nationally ranked. Yet no one seems to care. Where can the teams, especially the low-budget ones like squash, swimming and cross country running and skiing, look for encouragement. This is the role of the team reporter. He must also be a cheerleader, letting the student body know how really great his team is. Competing for one’s school involves tremendous drive and dedication, and a considerable sacrifice of school and social time. If for no other reason, the reporter should cheer his team on to let the athletes know their efforts are worth something. Thus, when the Warrior team finished fourth at CIAU championships, I did them a great disservice by concentrating on the,
negative aipects of their race. They were fourth in the nation! Here was a Warrior team, ranked second in the country, competing in the CIAU championships. A week before, these men had raced almost to perfection in the provincial championships, upsetting last year’s national champs, Western, much to national surprise. This year’s edition of the Warriors did better than any previous Waterloo cross country team. In addition, with the exception of basketball last spring, cross country was UW’s most successful sport of 1986. I therefore apologize to the\ team. Nick Cipp, Tim Collins, Andy, Krucker, Harvey Mitro, Chris Rogers, Tim Rose and Kevin Shields, you guys are truly great athletes who deserve every bit of success you had this year. Congratula+ tions, and, in future, may you receive the recognition you deserve from your fellow students, your school newspaper and your team . reporter.

Radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl disaster, primarily Cesium 137 and Strontium 90, has been found in huge amounts in.the reindeer traditionally herded by the Samiid (pronounced saw-mee) or Lapplander people in northern Scandanavia. Not only the livelihood but the entire culture of the Samiid, which is based on reindeer herding, is threatened as a result. Paul Doj, a Samiid journalist, spoke to an audience of 30 people October 25 at the University of Waterloo Psychology Building. The event was organized by ACT for Disarmament and WPIRG as part of an Ontario speaking tour by Doj and two fellow Samiid herders.
.
According to Doj, 97 per cent of the reindeer meat tested since Chernobyl has exceeded permissible radiation. levels and has been declared unfit for L human consumption. The meat con&ins from 1,500 to 15,000 becquerels of Cesium 137 per kilogram while the acceptable limitin Sweden is 300. The lichen on which the reindeer feed has absorbed massive amounts of radioactive fallout and this in turn poisons the deer that eat it. Since the lichen live 20 years, the Samiid fear that their livelihood, and thus their culture, have been destroyed. AC- ~ cording to Doj, it is the loss of their culture that the Samiid fear most, although they are angered by the fact that the Soviet government has not offered any compensation. The Samiid tour of Ontario has been organized by a coalition of peace and environmental groups as part of the recently declared campaign to Stop Darlington Immediately (S.D.I.). The campaign is fo-

how! cussed around the demand that David Peterson and the provincial government hold a referendum in the next election alJowing the voters to decide whether or not to cancel Darlington nuclear power plant and phase out all nuclear activities by the year 2020. In a joint statement, the member groups of S.D.I.’ reminded Premier Peterson that his government was elected on a platform which included a promise to cancel Darlington but has “broken his word” by deciding to complete construction of the giant reactor. The joint statement points out that accidents do happen at CANDU reactors, such as the one at Pickering in 1983 resulting in the closure of two reactors until 1987. An accident comparable to Chernobyl at Pickering would certainly cause thousands more fatalities. It will cost more than $11 billion to complete Darlington - more that $3,500 for every household in Ontario. Only 600 permanent jobs will be created - about $20 million for each job. According to S.D.I. the economic arguments for nuclear power are further weakened by the mounting evidence of experts that a combination of conservation strategies would not only be safer and more environmentally sound, but much cheaper than nuclear energy. In addition to the demand for a referendum, the coalition calls for greater democratic control over Ontario Hydra and for an immediate halt to exports of reactors and radioactive substances. In particular the campaign seeks to prevent the export of tritium, the radioactive byproduct of CANDU reactors and a key ingredient in nuclear bombs.

Iron part . of a good >diet
by Kathy
Marsman
Iron is very important to our systems. It helps transport oxygen from our lungs to our blood through the production of hemoglobin on our red blood cells. Without iron, the lack of hemoglobin ~ would mean 50 times the blood volume in our system would be required to transport the same amount of oxygen. Anemia is a disease caused by the lack of iron. The symptoms. include paleness and lethargy. Vegetarians may not get their iron from meat sources, but many other sources with comparable iron levels are available. The primary, or most available source of iron is liver. Secondary sources have a comparable amount of iron, measured by percentage of weight. Secondary sources include spinach, kale, chard, peas, beans, parsley, beets, molasses, raisins, figs, dates, prunes, egg yolks, lean beef and oysters. Tertiary sources contain a still smaller, yet notable amount of iron. These include wheat, oatmeal, cheese, potatoes, * tomatoes,T,lwatercress, mushrooms, oranges, turnips bananas, and carrots.
This hierarchy of iron content points to many plant sources of iron. With this great variety of foods to choose from, it is no wonder that anemia affects less than 0.07 per cent of the North American population. ‘Since iron can be stored in our bodies, there is no fear of losing iron content when. excess is consumed. The daily recommended intake of iron is actually an average that is consumed per day over a period of time. We can consume excess iron some days and very little other days and know that our iron levels will balance themselves out. Studies have shown a decrease in the amountof iron consumed by an average American due to the discontinued use of cast iron pots and frying pans. Food cooked in these pots will pick up trace amounts of iron, which is all our bodies require. And of course, supplements are also available. Vegetarians, or anyone considering a meatless diet, can therefore rest assured that iron deficiency is equally likely to strike non-vegetarians (who are not great fans of liver). A balanced diet, however, should always contain some ,of the above mentioned sources of iron.
There’s this guy who’s always asking me for rituals - blessings, baptisms, etc. - and it turns out he’s a witch. He goes about doing good works, such as exorcisms, in the name of the trinity. Yes, he’s a student at UW, and you’d never guess he was a witch, or, more precisely, a witch in training. We’re talking white witchcraft here, not Satanism. We’re talking about a very interesting guy with a certain . . . ambience -the sort of ambience you associate with meditation, or with yoga and the cellular awareness (“aware” gentle sympathy) that comes with the practice of yoga. Except that this guy doesn’t practice meditation or yoga; he follows the occult instead. He maintains his individuality and cultivates his spirituality by studying the occult. The other day he asked me if he should be open about it. Should he tell others where he was coming from? “Sure,” I said. “Why not?” Then I wondered. What sort of acceptance, or rejection, would he encounter from other students at UW? Would he wind up being, if not burned, scorched a little? Witchcraft is a solitary practice, and all its press has been bad. Most people think of Satanism when they hear of witches, whereas all of the witches I have known (a limited number, I’ll admit) were mystics (from the Greek “musein” to close one’s eyes). Theologically, I have found myself in agreement with the witches I have talked with, except when we got to the doctrine of original sin. If you can’t buy that doctrine, then you agree with the witches, who espouse original blessing. It’s original sin which accounts for the need for a saviour, and the Saviour is the difference between what the witches and I believe. But whether we start from original sin or from original blessing, and whether or not we admit the need for a Saviour, our way of being-in-the-world is very similar. The values we espouse are positive, and the works good. Far different are some of the religious cults and Christian deviations that we find, from time to time, proselytizing on campus. Far different, too, the results of their grim message. Like the student who, last year, under the influence of the Maranatha cult, cut his penis off, because he was convinced of sexual wrong-doing. Such cults with their life-denying message are the ones to watch out for. They are the ones akin to Satanism. (The Rev. Dr. Tom York is United Church His office is at St. Paul’s CoJlege.)

Raise awareness not drinking age. To the edltor, Concerning the issue of whether or not the drinking age should be raised from 19 to 21: the drinking age was raised from 18 to 19 in 1978 without much effect, and while raising it further to 21 may solve a few problems, it is not the universal cure some people make it out to be. A program aimed at increasing alcohol awareness would be much more effective. In 1979 there was no effort made at UW to make students aware of alcohol and its potential dangers. As a first-year student, I got caught in the trap of drinking to relieve stress (which only makes things worse), and within a
year had developed a moderately severe drinking problem. in the spring of 1981 I had to drop out. I had just turned 18. An alcohol awareness program just might have made the difference. I might have thought about what I was doing and stopped before it got out of hand. One good thing about the ongoing debate regarding raising the drinking age: that in itself is creating a certain amount of awareness. If only it would have happened seven years ago.

Y-ou’ve co’me a long way To the editor, ’ I a’m responding to a letter from Jim Mullen published in last week’s Imprint. Back in the good old days, Mr. Mullen, the only future offered to gay women and men by the church was a career as living firewood.
Nowadays, it seems, we can choose the “road to happiness”, if only we’ll strive to overcome our “weakness and confusion”. As they say in the Virginia Slims ads, “You’ve come a long way, baby”.

T:he Sci-Fi religion by Robert Day Imprint staff When last we saw our hero, L. Ron Hubbard, he was in the midst of failing out of favour with the American public (and justifiably so) due to a total lack of results from Dianetics in general, and the Sonia Bianca fiasco in particular. There also seemed to trouble closing fast from ‘another, more unexpected direction. About 1950, there was growing dissent within the ranks of Dianetics itself, between Hubbard and many of lhis well-educated, wealthy backers. In an attempt to get both Hubbard and Dianetics Drganized to some degree, one Df these backers, oil millionaire Donald Purcell, established the Hubbard Dianetic FoundaLion in Wichita, Kansas in return for all rights to Hubbard’s books, recorded tapes, techniques and anything else he could get his hands on. In a fit of greed, I suppose, Hubbard agreed to this, only to find his status reduced to something akin to a company director. This proved too much for Hubbard’s overwhelming egoism, and he abandoned Purcell’s organization and moved to Phoenix to start anew. Small problem, though - Hubbard no longer owned the rights to any part of Dianetics, his very own creation. Lesser men might have thrown in the towel here, but Hubbard was nothing if not resilient. A quick name change from the sciehce of Dianetics to the Church of Scientology and Hubbard managed to regain the rights to his project, claim that it was an improved version that superseded the archaic concept of Dianetics and, as a bonus, get tax-exall in one fell empt status, swoop. Clever lad, that Hubbard. And it was in Scientology that the science-fiction author
in Hubbard took over. Hubbard had already postulated that, behind every reactive and analytical mind, there. lurked an entity kntiwn as a thetan. These thetans are nonphysical and quite immortal, and transfer from one body to another when their current vehicle dies of old age. Just what is the significance of all this? Well, it turns out that, when a thetan transfers bodies, it brings with it all of the accumulated engrams from previous lives. It wasnow obvious why Clears were such a difficult thing to produce - it’s not easy to track down and erase millions of years worth of old engrams, is it? So, dig into the little black terminology bag and, voila! what used to be a Clear is now a MEST-Clear (short for Matter, Energy, Space, Time), and for those few souls who could not only be cleared of their own engrams but those of all previous incarnations, well, they are blessed with the title Operating Thetan. At this point, we may as well take a short break for amusement’s sake and try to figure out just what Hubbard means by “immortal”.. Several million years, perhaps, maybe several hundred million? Not a chance, buckwheat. When Hubbard gets into the span of history, he thinks BIG (we’re talking serious scientific notation here). One of Hubbard’s weirder works, History of Man, opens with the remark, “This is a cold-blooded and factual account of your last sixty trillion - years.” Do tell. And just to con’ vince his readers that there is no mistake here, Hubbard, in a May 11, 1963 bulletin, states he has twice visited Heaven, one occasion being just less than 44 trillion years ago. For the skeptics among us, he gracio’usly supplies the exact time of the visit to the nearest halfsecond, just in case we care to check up on it.
part Ill Does this mean that the thetans are also sixty trillion years old? Not according to records revealed in a court case last year when Scientologist Larry Wollersheim sued the church for fraud, claiming that he had been promised higher intelligence in exchange for thousands of dollars worth of auditing. According to the L.A.Times, these records, which were part of Hubbard’s secret teachings -and not meant for public consumption, suggest that “a major cause of mankind’s problems began 75 million years ago, when the planet Earth, then called Teegeeach, was part of a confederation of 90 planets, under the leadership of a tyrannical leader named Xemu”. Being a somewhat antisocial dude, Xemu had beings from several of these planets flown to Earth (whoops, Teegeeach), where they were annihilated with Hbombs, releasing their thetans. The thetans were frozen in an alcohol-glycol mixture and were implanted with the seeds of aberrant behavior. We’ve been suffering with them ever since. Finally, rather than try to be creative, I’ll close this series with an excerpt from the 1965 Anderson report on the church which, based on the testimony of more than 150 witnesses, resulted in a ban on Scientology within the state of Victoria in Australia. One paragraph states: “Scientology is eviJ; its techniques evil; its practice a serious threat to the community, medically, morally and socially; and its adherents sadly deluded and often mentally ill. its founder is Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, an American. . . who falsely claims academic and other distinctions and whose sanity is to ee gravely doubted ’ That’s it for now, troops.

Excessive noise level tit Fed Hall prevents conversation To the editor, I would like to add another aspect to the discussion on rock ‘n’ roll or-disco at Fed Hall: how about a “Silence Night”? A night when you would really have the opportunity to talk to somebody without roaring yourself out of breath after exchanging a few sentences. A night when the bass boosting does not give you a message. Wouldn’t that be great? My most recent, but not only, experience was tpe Eng. and Kin. Pub last Saturday. For the first three hours there was just disco with all the drowning bass. Then these “noise breeders” came on stage and even topped what went before. Looking back, I -wonder about the intention for the pub. Was it not meant an an opportunity to .meet people you did not know before and would otherwise hardly ever meet? But why, then, have a level of music volume which only allows you to dance or starea! the people dancing? Even more than a silent night, I would like a general redtiction in music volume which meets both the interests of people who like to dance and those who like to have a longer chat with friends. It is a
pity that the building does not provide any areas where it is low (besides the washrooms). I think it would enlarge the pleasure of listening to the music, since the speakers are actually not able to keep the quality of transmission when the system is turned way up. And the bass is much toodominant. Adding to the discussion on the type of music, I plead only for

’ ” Finding opportunities by Student
Vocational
Advisors
Disappointed with the job opportunities in the Graduate l? Don’t. despair - there are opportunities out there, but it’s up,to you to find or make them. Some 80 per cent of job openings are oever advertised because advertising is expensive, time consuming, and can be unproductive. Managers often hire people who already work within the company or have been referred to them by colleagues. Because of this you must use your initiative and resourcefulness to look for jobs in the hidden job market. The following approaches may help you land a job. 1) Networking: Tell everyone you know - friends, relatives, acquaintances that you are looking for a job. Don’t be afraid to approach former employers. They may have an opening for you or may be able to recommend you to other people in the field. 2) Information Gathering Interview:. Interviewing people in the field in which you hope to become employed may be beneficial for gathering informatioh about the career itself and for making job contacts. If you use this approach make sure you are prepared for the interview by dressing appropriately and having some good questions to ask. 3) Broadcasting: Sending letters and resumes to many organizations is a widely used method of hunting for a job. Addresses for a wide variety of organizations can be found in telephone books or directories which are located in the Career Information Centre (eg.The Blue Book of Canadian Business, Directories of Social Services). Direct letters to department heads, since they are often the people who do the hiring. Response rate can be improved by having a well-defined career goal and a resume which relates to a specific area of the organization. A followup interview or phone-call is also helpful. 4) Direct Application: Approaching department heads directly is one of the most effective ways cf getting a job, because it shows that you have initiative and are eager for a job. It is often better to approach department heads rather than the personnel office, since it is the department head you will be working for and personnel may not yet be informed of positions which may be opening in the department. 5) Internal Job Postings: Many organizations list job vacancies internally before advertising it outside the company. Visit places where you may want to work to check for job postings or advertisements in the organization’s newslettq 6) Newspapers/Magazines: Want ads in newspapers are widely used by job seekers. Job ads tend to describe the ideal candidate, but sometimes the ideal candidate is hard to find. Do not eliminate yourself if you do not fit the description exactly. Newspaper and magazine articles can also be used in the job search. Resourceful people will look for articles or announceme&s regarding personnel changeovers (retirement, resigning, firing, hiring), expansion, contract awards, and companies requestipg tenders. Jot down the.organizations and the ndmes and positions of the people involved, so you can approach them about possible job openings. 7) Professional and Industrial Associations: Belonging to a professional association (eg. Ontario Association of Architects) is an excellent way of getting good job leads. By attending meetings, good contacts can be established. Associations often publish a newsletter which may list job openings. 8) Canadian Employment Centre: Job openings in the immediate cies are often available.

It is also a good idea to keep checking the tate job postings on first floor of Needles Hall. Students with two months of graduation are eligible tg participate in the “Atumni Referral Service”(ARS). People who wish to use this service must complete a registration form and submit ten resumes. Resumes of qualified candidates are sent to employers who witI contact the individuals they wish to interview. Candidates are selected through a computei-matching process. “Apply Direct” positions are posted on the Career Services bulletin board. This service is available year-round.

According to Cynthia Drummond, coordinating director of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, “none of the tests Gillette is doing are required in either Canada or the U.S.” Gillette still performs the Draize tests, which Drummond said “involves putting the substance in one eye of an albino rabbit to see how it will react.” Public outcry during the 1970s forced the Revlon cosmetics company to discontinue Draize testing in favour of more humane types of tests, Drummond said. “They responded with new developments,” she said, whereas, “Gillette is lying about their testing and trying to cover $ up.” ’ Dennis Murphy, quality services manager of Gillette Canada Ltd. in Montreal denied the company uses the Draize test. “The company vigorously denies any charges of animal abuse,” he said. Gillette also denies using the LD50 test, whereby concentrated them icals are applied to an animal’s shaved skin, until it peels or blisters. Gillette claims it has not used the LD-50 test since 1977, although a leaked confidential memo written in 1985 states two members of the company’s Animal Care Committee “again raised the issue of modiQing internal documentation . . . to eliminate any references to the use of the tern LD-50.” “This issue relates to the correspondence with which the company is corresponding to animal rights activists saying that Gillette no longer employs the use of the subject test,” the memo said. Gillette also cl&ms it has reduced the number of animals it uses in research, although statistics from the U.S. department of agriculture show the reverse0 The company cIaims about 35 per cent fewer animals were used in 1982 than in 1976, though government figures show the total number of animals used in research up about 119 per cent from 1977 to 1984. Gillette has also promised to find new types of testing, although the company only spent about .$l ,000 in 1985 to research alternative testing. Organizations suppo@ng the boycott are the SPCA, the Humane Society, Ark 11and other animal welfare groups.

All grant student aid sought by CFS OTTAWA (CUP) ‘- A national, nonrepayable student bursary remains a long-term target of Canada’s student leaders, who fear the federal Conser. vative government may opt out entirely of delivering financial assistance to students. According to Jean Wright, a researcher for the Canadian Federation of Students, a national bursar-y is a “good end” to work for. “With the particular government in power, of course, this doesn’t appear to be possible,” she said. “Some-
hterest-free
thing that’s more frightening is the federal government pulling out of the Canada Student Loans Program altogether.” That was one option suggested to the federal government by the task force on program review chaired by former Deputy Prime Minister Erik Neilsen. Cabinet has not formally replied to the suggestion, although Secretary of State David Crombie has said he recognizes post-secondary students are facing greater and greater costs. ,
lf adopted, the task force proposal would see the federal government turning over all responsibility for student financial assistance to the pro. vinces. CFS chair Tony Macerollo said the federation will continue to push for a national bursary and improvement to student loan policies “on the as. sumption that the federal govemment reaffirms its role in the student aid system.” Secretary of State officials would not comment.
Lynn .McDonald, NDP critic for post-secondary education, has raised the issue of a national bursar-y in the House of Commons. Crombie said he would,discuss a national bur. sary during an upcoming meeting with provincial ministers of education. “[Crombie] knows it’s on my agenda, and he knows he’s going to have to answer questions.*’ said McDonald, who believes Crombie is more willing than other Cabinet members to introduce improve-

James said, because Eydt’s approval would ensure that Food Services doesn’t “get thrown out by a maver. ick council . . . it must be proven that there was a blatant breach of the contract.” Robertson, however, is not willing to approve such a lease. “I don’t think it’s up to the Council to say if [the outlet] will or won’t be there,” he said. “If the Village\ decides [they don’t like the pizza], they’ll vote with their pocketbooks . . . you don’t take a vote on whether you should buy pizza from an outlet - you just buy or don’t buy.” But St. James said he is willing to accept, in lieu of a lease, a firm corn. mitment from Robertson that any fu-

ture administration will not change or violate the agreement. He said he would be talking with administration representatives in an effort to obtain such a pledge. In order that the Villages have pizza for the new year, the administration proposal must be approved by Village Council at their meeting Nov. 23, the last council meeting of the term. With a guarantee of a lease or a permanent contract, St James .predieted unanimous approval of the proposal. ,Without the lease, he pre. diets “it could go either way.” “It makes no sense why they re. fuse to [agree to a lease] . . . if they don’t get back to me soon, we might just have to screw the whole thing.”
order to maintain your loan’s inte. rest-free status, you must obtain an enrollment confirmation from your financial aid advisor or any bank These forms must be signed by the financial advisor at your school and
submit a claim to the federal and/or provincial government for reimbur, sement of your loan. When this happens, you are considered to be in default of your loan, and your debt becomes to the respective govern. ment. Your account will be referred to a collection agency and, you will be placed on the OSAP restricted list, making you ineligible for further as. sistance. Once your ,interest-free status is lost, payments are expected to be made on your loan. Also you will be responsible for the interest that accumulates from the end of your interest-free period to the date when you file the appropriate form. If you do not know the status of a previous student loan, check with your bank to ensure that your loan’is still in good standing. .
ments to the 22.year-old Canada Student Loans Program. “The problem with David Crombie is that he is a nice man, and an intelligent man, but that doesn’t mean the rest of Cabinet is going to listen to him” she said. “There are some Tories who are very ignorant about (student aid).” According to CFS researcher Wright, the average Canada Student Loans debt load is $5,000. she said rising provincial debt loads are also impeding access to post-secondary education. Said Macerollo, “it’s just not fair to the student to have to take on mas. sive student debt loads. it’s also counterproductive from an eco. nomic point of view.” Wright is hoping Cabinet will consider the program’s “relatively low” cost. Nielsen task force projections show the program will cost about $311.4 million to operate this year, $343.1 million next year, and $360.5 million in 1988.89. “This is not an expensive program to run. Given the expenditure of other programs, it would cost them more politically to cut the program,” said Wright. “Besides, they get most of the money back Among CFS short tern goals are: * CFS representation on a new committee to study the Canada Student Loans Plenary Group, a body corn. posed of provincial student aid administrators; * Discussion of student aid as a major item of business on the agenda of the national forum on post-secondary education, to be held early next year; * extension of interest relief-for those who are underemployed, articling, or working on apprenticeship programs; * “more realistic” summer savings requirements.

ANALYSIS -Behind the iunger Project Controversy by Doug
lhompson 7.
Economics professor John Hotson and his Hunger Project bri&ngs in class and elsewhere on 1 campus have been at the centre of a storm of controversy in recent weeks. As Imprint looked more closely at the Hunger Project and its associated groups, we have learned a great deal more than what we have previously published.

. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the Hunger Project is the nature of the debate which surrounds it. Its critics are extremely critical, accusing the group of cult-like “mindcontrol’* tactics. Its members, on the other hand, are wildly enthusiastic about the Hunger Project and dismiss critics as “misinformed cdult bash&* or bigots. The debate more closely resembles a religious war than an institutional critique or academic debate. The debate is not about ending hunger. Critics and supporters agree that ending world hunger is necessary. Much of the debate is, however, about est, (Erhard Seminar Training), an organimtion known in Canada as Forum, and the American salesman who changed his name from Jack Rosenberg to Wemer Erhard and who founded both groups. The Canadian head offices of the two organizations snuggle side by side in Toronto, and the est receptionist announces that her husband works for the Hunger Project. Erhard is a man who is either loved or hated. His supporters revere him as a great philosopher and confer upon him nearly god-like status. His critics describe him as a clever, money-hungry mbnipulator who has grown rich while messing up a lot of people’s minds. According to the American Journal of Psychiatry, 10 per cent of those who attend est seminars need psychiatric heb aftenvard. Delusions of grandeur, fantasies that Werner Erhard is “in their heads” and psychotic breakdowns are listed. Less serious of the symptoms of est training include rigid authoritarian behaviour and attitudes. “The est training is structured to promote regression. Oral intake, urination, and defecation are regulated by the trainers, as are mobility and communication. This infant&es the participants while elevating the leader to a position of omnipotence. Trainees deal with this regressive pull in a variety of ways. Some become observers and distance themselves from the process. Some submit passively. Others may question the pro cess aggressively; the leader’s response to their challenge is often delivered in an authoritarian, confrontational, and ridiculing manner that may produce anxiety, humiliation, and fear of future retaliation.

This belief’ in a curious sort of “power” of the mind also is behind both the enthusiasm and criticism of x The Hunger Project. Supporters genuinely believe that by getting enough people to sign their little cards and “get it that their lives must be about ending hunger”, the problem of world hunger will be solved. The process of making one’s life “about” ending hunger usually in volves working for the Hunger Pro ject and holding more briefings and raising more money. The group also suggests, according to former members, that all sorts of personal benefits tijl accrue to those who make their lives “about ending
hunger”. And it threatens that volunteers’ lives will fall apart should they not constantly increase their corn mitment. Critics denounce this as fraudulent. Although it is unclear how much of the money donated to the Hunger Project finds its way back to millionaire founder Werner Erhard, it is clear that only a tiny percentage is ever spent on actual development or relief projects. A donation to the Hunger Project does not end up feeding the hungry. Critics also condemn the tactics of the group which focuses heavily on youth and children. They say that people’s genuine desire to help the world’s needy is exploited by this well-fed group which only feeds itself. They further point to psychological problems and delusions in Hunger Project participants. Those delusions are well attested by former members who dropped out after coming to feel they were being manipulated. Many of its strongest critics are former members. Curiously, Hunger Project members rarely respond to these criticisms with anything more that flat denials. They insist that “experts” support the project and ignore the fact that even more “experts” denounce it. Because “experts” sup port it, they say, it must be good. And since it must be good, criticism must be either misinformed or the result of bigotry. While the Hunger Project manages to get quite a few people to sign its cards, often presenting the card as a “petition” to the government to do something about world hunger, its success in recruiting ‘volunteers is much more limited. It’s briefings tend to turn people off. The briefings are first of all incredibly boring. The authoritarian group control exercised by those conducting the briefings is alienating to many. The refusal to give straight answers to straight questions, and the mystical aura that surrounds it all combined with mensive use of sloganeering “ending hunger is an idea whose time has come” are enough to make most people shake their heads and walk away.’ . Yet a certain percentage of people do end up getting drawn in, con vinced that by becoming “committed partners” of the authoritarian leader, they will achieve something good for the world - and incidentally themselves - in the process.

chology of ambivalent submission.” “The conduct of the est training elicits . . . an identification with the aggressor . . . This unconscious experience of merging may precipitate self-object confusion, fear of loss of the self, dissolution of the self, and concomitant instinctual anxiety. . . Pathological symptoms (alterations in ego functions, delusions, and hallucinations) are then mobilized . . . “Evidence for a universal ‘(and not necessarily pathogenic) identification with the trainer may be inferred by obsewation. During the two-weekend course, the trainee’s style of dress often begins to mirror the char acteristic open-collar style of the leader. The est terminology enters the graduate’s vocabulary and graduates often are identifiable outside of the training by virtue of their aggressive, stiffly self-confident, and prose lytizing manner.” (From The American Journal of Psychiaby, November 1977) These documented mental ailments have motivated much of the criticism of est, including accusations of “mindcontrol”. Because of the similarity between est and the Hunger Project “briefing” techniques, the latter group has fallen under a similar pall of suspicion. You can take a Forum seminar in Toronto for $525. lt is a 60 hour course spread over two weekends and one evening. It promises to change your life, not by altering the “content” of your knowledge, but by helping you “get it” that the “context” of your life is subject to your own personal power. It could be called a religion of man, where the human will is worshipped. Forum literature describes the result as “magic”. Forum critics describe the process as “hocus-pocus”, and “airey-fairey”.

The accusations of mindcontrol arise because those who do “get it” seem to lose touch with reality in some ways and lose their capacity for rational discussion. Criticism of the project itself is met, not with a vigorous argument in defense, but with closed-minded denial that there ever could be anything wrong with the Hunger Project. To its credit, what the Hunger Project does do is spread a lot of UN statistics about infant mortality and malnutrition through its briefings and newspapers. It also makes a very dubious connection between infant mortality rates and malnutrition. While malnutrition does increase infant mortality, it is not the only cause, and a decline in infant mortality may have nothing to do with nutrition. The value of the briefings is questioned, however, by critics who argue that everybody already knows that hunger is a problem. The general effect, it is argued, is to overwhelm people with statistics on the magnitude of the problem and then, have - them close their eyes and imagine what it is like to be hungry. During that emotional experience, the leader of a Hunger Project briefing insinuates that the problem is too complex for any individual to do anything about, so the solution is to join the Hunger Project which, the audience is told, is leading the world to a solution of the problem by “making hunger an idea whose time has come.” The old adage that a sucker is born every minute finds new verification in the fact that some people ac- y s tually end up buying that pitch.

#NEWS
G&t stdls on hncls OTTAWA (CUP) - Canada’s national student lobby group and a country-wide coalition of non-profit agencies are campaigning for a better federal summer employment pro. gram for students. But the Canadian Federation of Students and the Save Our Summer Coalition, which represents about 200 non-profit groups who say they have been slighted by the federal funding priorities, are casting doubts on government response to their re. quests. “We’re not getting fast action,” said Roger Hollander, coalition co-ordinator and director of the 519 Church Street Community Centre in Toronto. “If our groups operated as inefficiently as the federal government, we’d be sunk by now,” Hollander said. The federal government was ex. petted to complete and table an as. sessment of Challenge ‘86, its summer subsidy and job creation program, by late September. According to CFS chairman Tony Macerollo, the government is deliberately holding back its evaluation of the controversial program. “Our big concern is that this is a stalling tactic, and it certainly points to some negative concerns that we have had about the program,” Ma: cerollo said. The federal government funded Challenge ‘86 with $180 million, less than Challenge ‘85’s $205 million. As well, Hollander said, non-profit groups - many of which sponsor summer activities with the assistance of student employment funding were substantially overlooked in favour of private sector applications.
Federal statistics show private sources this year received almost $2.3 million more than last year, while the non-profit sector received about $29.8 million less. . Hollander said many coalition members were forced to cancel programs and cut services traditionally offered in the summer because of government policy changes. Federal summer employment programs up to 1984 almost entirely funded non. profit or public organizations. The coalition was struck in May in response to funding changes. Coalition and CFS representatives fear the government will not make public a negative evaluation of Challenge ‘86, or act on some recommendations. “We’re certainly wondering why they’re being quiet,” said Hollander. An internal evaluation of Challenge ‘85 found the public and nonprofit sectors actually provided more career-related jobs than the private sector; students hired by the nonprofit sector enjoyed their jobs more; and many private sector jobs would have existed even without a federal subsidy. CFS and the coalition are pressuring Jean Charest, minister of state for youth, to table the evaluation before announcing next year’s program. According to Charest’s executive assistant, Micheal Allen, the evalua-
tion is in the pipeline. “To be honest, I don’t know where it is, but we’re expecting it soon.” Allen said. He said the federal government has not designed a summer employ. ment program for next year, “although there’s no reason to assume right now there won’t be one.” Allen said the government will likely make an announcement before Christmas. “This is waht traditionally happens. I think this will be the practice again.” CFS and the coalition are de. manding consultation before the program is announced. They say Charest and government ‘fficials have been too slow in add 7essing their concerns. “Mr. Charest can rest assured we’re going to have our eyes on him during the Christams break, said Macerollo. “He has made pretty scary comments (about youth unemploy. ment), and we’re going to pressure him for changes.” “We will be trying to get an a% nouncemept that we cam live with, said Hollander. “If we feel it isn’t an adequate program, we’ll begin an ex. tensive lobby program.” Allen promised that CFS and coalition representatives will be able to meet with Charest an minister of Employment Benoit E5Luchard. He said a time has not been wt for a meeting.

club ’ se.eks UW folks AIESEC is the acronym for the In. ternational Association of Students of Economics and Commerce which functions on international, national and local levels. -The scope of people who can become involved is not iimited to just business students. Anyone with an interest in personnel, fundraising, marketing, computers, mathematics or communications should ask about AIESEC. A few years ago, the University of Waterloo established its own AIESEC club but, because of the exten. sive coop program, was unable to maintain it. Some Waterloo students have already inquired about AIESEC at Wilfrid Laurier. There are currently 452 universities participating in AIESEC all across the world. Involvement from many countries facilitated the creation of exchange programs. These programs provide for an opportunity to experience a different culture while continuing school. l-he duration of the exchange can last any. where from two months to a year. Computer and political science students have recently been in large demand. Companies are eager to hire individuals with a background in these fields, \but the supply is just not there. The main ingredient to becoming a candidate for a position on a traineeship program is involvement. l-he more involved one becomes in AIESEC, the more favourable a re. view he/she will receive.

Mention the word ‘volunteer’ to me, and I’m four years old again. Leaning on the homemade candy table at my church’s annual fall -baziar, I ogle the only passion of those prepubescent years - divinity fudge looking its heavenliest on a plate in front of me. But behind it stands the indomitable Mrs. Peters, housewife, mother .of nini, and volunteer extraordinaire: an avenging angel on guard against just the kind of desecration I have in mind. Mrs. Peters was the type of woman who, if given a perfect world, would pack up and leave it for one with people to help and things to set right. On this day, thank goodness, she had volunteered to be candy table monitor. The moment she relaxed her vigil to serve a customer some browhies at the other end of the table, I gobbled the fudge, doily and all; I would have choked to death had not Mrs. Peters, like a great lavender bolt, come out of the sky to apply a wallop to my tiny sinner’s body. Voluntarism: I owe my life to it. Although I didn’t know the word to say it at that age, I knew what it looked like. It was Mrs. Peters and a dozen other middle-aged women selling old comic books, discarded knitting projects, and second-hand shoes. And they loved it as if ,everything depended on their moving that unloved merchandise. It wasn’t until some 18 years that I realized everything did. And does.

Another local service, the Community Information Centre, publishes a comprehensive guide to K-W community and social service agencies entitled “Directory of Community Services for Waterloo Region.” According to Ellen Shenk, director of the Career Information Centre, the student-volunteer benefits in thfee ways. First, volunteer experience related to one’s area of study gives the student perspective into real-life activity in the field. Students can then decide if it’s right for them, and if so, learn how they should proceed. Second, it looks good on a resume. Third, it provides students with precious contacts in the field of their choice.

There is much to be learned through relating to those in need. The “new” volunteer is the product of changing social trends. Longer life spans and early retirement have freed many older citizens - men and women - to return some of what society has given them in the form of volunteer labour. Ex-offenders too, are working off their debt to society in the form of community service. Teenagers and disabled persons, contrary to stereotypes, are also making mature and capable contributions to the world around them. Unemployment and shorter work weeks are allowing men and women to give part of their most productive years to their communities. Like Deborah, many of Canada’s 2.7 million volunteers are in their 20s and 30s - years thought to be devoted to educatioti, career goals, and new families. But for students, the question remains: How can we afford to volunteer our time when it’s some-

power and resources are shared in their communities. In answering these questions constructively, communities learn to become more flexible and creative about managing change. The Waterloo Public Interest Research Group, the Global Community Centre, and Amnesty International are examples of groups engaged in the issue of the citizen’s right to know and act. But the rest of the volunteer sector is just as committed to these issues and others like advocacy, grassroots pluralism, and the promotion of self-help. Volunteering also contributes to the community chest. A 1982 federal report on voluntarism noted volunteer labour annually contributes $2 billion to the Canadian economy. Reva Cooper of VPS estimates the volunteers . placed by the Service since its launch in 1984 have contributed more than $870,000 to the K-W economy. For those who idealize on a slightly more ambitious. scale, there are short and long-term volunteer opportunities overseas. These include familiar programs like CUSO, Canada World Youth, and the World University Service of Canada and others with less profile. The latter include the following: Canadian Crossroads International, a non-religious organization involved with shortterm, self-help projects in the * Third World; the Canadian Bureau for International Education, which organizes international work cqtips where ybung people gather from various countries to undertake a project; and the Christian Movement for Peace, whose activities resemble those of the bureau, but from a Christian perspective.

For four months last winter, Andrea Lindsay worked as a volunteer mid-wife and birth control counselor in Jamaica. She lived in Roadside, a village consisting of about 30 families. Lindsay graduated from the University of Waterloo in Political Science with a women’s studies option. She is presently working on an M.A. in Political Science at UW. Lindsay was qualified as a midwife in Canada. Upon arriving in Jamaica, she was astonished to learn mid-wives are the norm there; doctors rarely deliver babies in Jamaica. Most of the girls she, helped deliver babies for were 13 and 14 years old. The second aspect of her job involved birth control counseliing. She was struck by the Jamaicans’ ignorance concerning the topic. Many girls were not aware they could be sexually active without having children. Others had already been pregnant, but did not understand why. Lindsay found most midwives in Jamaica do not even attempt to explain what is happening to the. young girl; they merely deliver the child and leave. Thus, ignorance persists . . . Kenneth Bragg, now a third-year Environmental Studies student at the University of Waterloo, spent seven months on a Canada World Youth exchange in 1983/84. The group Bragg was part of consisted of young people from Canada and Indonesia . The first three and a half months were spent in British Columbia,‘ where Bragg worked as an industrial supplier. Most of the jobs available, however, were in the social services sector. They included jobs in hospitals, women’s shelters, labour movements, etc. While on the exchange, the students lived with families.
The second half of the exchange was spent in the Indonesian village of Borneo. Projects worked on there included the following: a health care program for children, fixing bridges, and working on irrigation. Time was also spent on a “youth garden”, which according to Bragg, is a “big thing down there.” Youth gardens are vegetable gardens cultivated by groups of young people. These are just two examples of volunteer opportunities in third world countries. Several overseas volunteer organizations exist throughout the world. They enable people from all walks of life to volunteer their skills to those less privileged. It is an opportunity to look beyond the often narrow society North Americans spend their life in. Duration of volunteer projects range from as little as two weeks on the one hand, to a minimum two year commitment on the other. Requirements and qualifications also differ from one organization to another. Some projects need skilled volunteers, while others stress social awareness or personal potential. The Canadian Bureau for Education operates world-wide. This program recruits Canadians over the age of 18 for workcamps of 10 to 25 people from all over the world. These workcamps last from two to four weeks. Volunteers can choose the type of work they wish to do,
per cent of the cost of their involvement. Canada World Youth operates in South America, Central America, Indonesia, and Jamaica. The program’is approximately eight months in duration. Objectivgs include participation in development and peace. Applicants must be Canadian citizens between the,ages of 17 and 20. The knowledge of a second language is required, and people with good leadership skills are sought. The program is a cross cultural living experience; groups of volunteers consist of an equal number of young people from Canada and from a partner nation. Each volunteer is then paired with someone from the other country. Voluntary Service Overseas operates in 41 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. Volunteers must be between the ages of 20 and 6!5, and the minimum length of involvement is two years. VSO aims to work for social and economic justice by combating exploitation. Placements for volunteers include agriculture, health, education, technology, and business. There is a particular need forcivil engineers. For this program,
and they receive room and board in return for their services. However, they must fund their travel to the country they choose to work in. Operation Raleigh is an expedition involving 40 nations on six continents. It is a four year “voyage” which will involve more than 4,000 young people participating in four month shifts. The objective of the program is “to encircle the world through a series of scientific studies and community services including oceanography, biology, archaeology, and medicine.” Operation Raleigh encourages an exchange of information in order to build international understanding among participants. Canadian Crossroads International has operations in Africa, Asia, Canada, the Caribbean, and the South- pacific. The minimum age is 19. The primary aim of Crossroads is to foster international cooperation via community oriented projects. These projects last from four to six months. Volunteers are placed in education, health, agriculture, community development, research programs, and a variety of other fields. While a specialized skill is an asset, it is not essential. Volunteers are chosen on the basis of criteria such as emotional maturity, social awareness, and range of interests and experience. Although food and board is provided, volunteers are asked to raise approximately 20
volunteers should be skilled and qualified for the position of their choice. The British Volunteer Program aims to help third world countries help themselves. This is accomplished through teaching various skills to people in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Pacific Islands, and South and Central America. At the
request of the developing nation, volunteers are directed into fields including agriculture, technical assistance, social development, education, and health. Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age, and again, there is a minimum two year commitment to participation. CARE Canada focuses on selfhelp, emergency relief funding pro grams, and resource conservation. This program operates in 32 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Participants must be at least 20 years of age, must have two years previous experience in the third world, and must have a degree and experience in administration. Not all applicants to various pro grams are accepted, however. Most candidates go through an interview and orientation or training sessions before finally being chosen. Most programs strive for socio-demographic representation. Some, such as Operation Raleigh, stress potential rather than qualifications. Mark Gauthier, who applied to Operation Raleigh earlier this year, was told the program was looking h

money to fund travel or partial costs of their involvement. Crossroads, for example, requires candidates to raise $1,600 of the $6,ON) dollar cost. Mark Gauthier, who has applied to both Operation Raleigh and Crossroads, organized a marathon to raise the necessary funds. In addition, students considering overseas volunteer work should realize many groups are willing to sponsor student involvement in such projects. Lindsay found her MP and service organizations and clubs very supportive. A second obstacle is potential culture shock. Liidsay found social life and ideas in Jamaica drastically different from what she was used to. For example, she says, if she went to .a bar and talked to men, they thought she was trying to pick them up. She says it also took a while to be accepted into the village; in fact, she never felt totally integrated into * the mainstream. However, she felt the culture shock even more upon returning to Canada. Many
girls

counselled
were not aware they could be sexually active without having children.
Bragg experienced culture shock in Indonesia as well. He says he was expecting some sort of tropical paradise. Instead, he was confronted with dirt and flooding in the village. He says it took a while to get used to that, because in our society every, thing is so sterile. Bragg also found differences in daiIy life. There are many cultures, languages and religions in Indonesia, yet those things are not really talked about, he says. In particular, -politics are avoided. The stress is on the family. In Indonesia, family means extended family, not the nuclear family we are-accustomed to in North America. For example, it is not unusual that on their wedding night, a newlywed couple will sleep in the same room with their parents. Despite obstacles and cultural differences, volunteering overseas can be a satisfying experience. Lindsay describes her experience in Jamaica as “very satisfying and enlightening.” She says she felt she really helped. Bragg, who has long been interested in development, felt he wanted to do something useful be“I was surprised at some of the fore starting university. people who made it,” says Bragg In closing, Andrea Lindsay offers about Canada World Youth. “Some the following advice to those interof the people were really quiet and ested in overseas volunteer work: didn’t seem to have an interest in “Don’t be discouraged! Be creative development.” and imaginative. Don’t overlook any For those interested in overseas options; if an organization won’t acvolunteer work, there may be a cept you, take the initiative. Make number of obstacles. Many organisure to contact service clubs in your zations expect the volunteer to raise community.”

Pickin’.Bones by Paul Done Imprint staff self-proclaimed Skczkings made a triumphant return to Toronto last week which will, no doubt add to the myth which began with their April shows at the BamBoo. While the band freaked out, backflipping into the crowd and playing their instruments on their knees, the hard-partying crowd dance, sweated and dived off the stage onto the crowd below. On the Tuesday before the show, Ikprint got a phone car1 from a man called Dirty Walt, who claimed to be their trumpet player. Imprint: So, where are you calling from? Walt: I don’t know. Imprint: Did you just get there, , or something? Walt: Yeaahhh . . . it’s real cold though. I: Isit snowing? W: No, it’s supposed to tonight. I: You were in The Eurgthmics’ “Would I Lie To You” video, right? W: Yeah, that was me. I: How did you get into that. W: Hmmm . . . let me think back to that day. . . oh yeah, they just said that they needed horn players for a Eurythmics’ video. I went down and they said “we need you”. So I went and was in it. I: So it wasn’t a showbiz “we love your music” deal? W: No. I: How about the George Clinton video, was that the same type of thing? W: That’s a different story, see. ‘Cause George knows us really well and he said “we’re doing a video and I want you guys in it”, so we went Fishbone,

and did it . . . kinda’ like the Ramones video that we were in. I: Speaking of George Clinton, a lot of people have compared you to Parliament-Funkadelic. Do you take that completely as a compliment or are you a bit embarrasFed at being compared to legends like that. W: It’s pretty much a compliment to me. I love being compared to guys like that rather than to somebody that’s really horrible. I: Have you guys had any trouble getting your videos onto MTV - they’ve got a reputation for being pretty racist. W: We really haven’t noticed it, all our videos, and the new one, have got into rotation. I don’t know how well the new one’s doing ‘cause we’ve been on the road for a while. I: The band’s still based in L.A., right? W: That’s correct. I: Do-you run into many showbiz types? W: Yeah, aaall the time. I: Any funny things happen to the band with those types? W: Nope. I: Come on, you’re lying. There’s gotta’ be something that happened. W: No man, I can’t tell any wicked stories or nothing. I: Hmmm . . . . What’s with the “Fishbone glasses”. Every time I see pictures of you guys, you’ve got sunglasses on. W: For me, it’s because I don’t like lights in my eyes on stage. I: It’s more than that now, isn’t it? W: Plus, it’s kinda’ like I wanna be a different person on stage than when I’m off. So, that’s part of it, too.

I’m pretty interested in signing you.” He was talking to Fish and he thought that David was crazy, so he told him to go and talk to our manager - like “get away from me !” We thought he was some guy trying to be . . . ah, silly. He saw us again and before we knew it, we were signed. I: What’s the wildest Fishbone party that you can remember? W: The Widest Fishbone party?

I: Your music seems to be getting more funky. Is that something you decided to do or is it just happening? W: Well, Funk is in our blood. Sometimes even our Ska gets funky. I: So what kind of Funk are you into at the moment? Are you listening to Go-Go? W: Yeah! Definitely! In fact, we’re going to Washington soon to play with Trouble Funk. I: I heard that. They’re opening for you, aren’t they? W: We thought they were crazy when we four-id out that they were under us. We thought, for sure, that we’d be under them. We talked to them and they’re like us - they just love to play. I: Okay then, see you on Thursday and good luck for the rest of the tour. W: Yeah.

Queen Street W. hipsters Breeding Ground jangled Fed Hall last Saturday night with their brand of frenetic guitar heroics. Problem though was, I wasn’t paying much attention to the show so this review is going to be somewhat short and concise. The band played some of their real cool songs like Turn To Dust, happy Now I Know and Reunion. When a band plays at least three good songs you know the show is going to be good in my opinion. Don’t you hate bands who show up at a gig and plays 70 minutes of banal and insipid trash and then, in the encore play five minutes of their best material. Not the case with Breeding Ground, though. John Sheriff looked mighty fine up there on stage with his greasedback hair and Jockey like stature. The singer’s somewhat small size didn’t impede his real cool but demented singing style. This is a guy who’s got stage preence. Yeah the whole band’s got presence . . . 1 think . . . go ask someone else who saw them.

When Go Four 3 released their six-track hello to Canadian record stores and radio stations in March of last year, Vancouver was not yet being hailed as Canada’s hippest scene. But from humble beginnings with the fledgling Zulu, and Nettwerk labels and the more established MO-Da-Mu, and with bands with as compulsively infectious as Go Four 3, Vancouver soon developed into the city-with-most-bandson-campus-radio. Forming from the remnants of varying turn-of-the-decade punk bands and the now legendary Debutantes, a ’60s girl group cover band (hey,- how come Fed Hall’s never thought of that?), Roxanne Heichert (the sunniest- voiced singer this side of the Appalachians), Gord Badanic (rough-and-tumble bass), Steve Quinn (dirty guitar lines that ring in your ears like the aftermath of a Test Dept. show) and Ian Noble (itinerant drummer), Go Four 3’s debut was as welcome to starved auditory senses as a smog-free day in Hamilton is to asthma sufferers. Now, with what promises to be a fab new album, Six Friends, slamkontinued from page segment of the audience into mad palpitations and convulsions of glee. Those closest to the stage fought for a chance to get up on stage so they could dive back onto the mass of ’ bodies below, while those further back tried to get closer to the stage so they too, could risk life and limb in a spectacular crowd-dive. Fishbone hit the stage in a rush and kicked into Fishbone Zs Red Hot 0 their opening and closing song. This was as close to real funk as they’d get all night. For the rest of the night, with few exceptions, Fishbone churned out their unique adrenoska which, while great to dance to, got a little tedious to listen to. It was when Fishbone broke out of this formula that they showed their true craziness - when they were playing speedcore metal, or acid rock, or straight-up reggae. Comparisons to Parliament-Funkadelic have been made over and,over again to Fishbone, and, lord knows, they’re trying their hardest to live up to them - right down to the bass player’s towel-head and longjohns. They’re gonna have to think a little harder if they ever want to be in the same league as George Clinton’s clan. Led by spidery, manic Bill Grove, Whitenoise opened up for Fishbone and showed an immense improvement over the last time I saw them. They’re five times louder, five times as tight and, at times, five people more numerous. Though they were
ming into the racks imminently, Go Four 3 are in town tonight at Level 21 and if their show is half as good as the reviews in their press kit purport, it’ll be more than worth the bus ride downtown. If you pine for the halcyon pop-punk days of the Buzzcocks, The Fire Engines, and The Undertones (before Feargal Sharkey discovered noo wave duds), don’t miss this show. Bassist Gord Badanic tells us more about the new album and life as. an independent recording artist.

What’s happening with Zulu Records right now since The Enigmas and Slow have broken up? What’s happening with Brilliant Orange?
Brilliant Orange’s contract has been given to another label that’s supposed to be getting them a major label deal within a year. So right now I can say without hesitation that we’re the best band on Zulu. (Laughs). But there always has been some turnover on the label and right now we’re looking at bands from Toronto and Vancouver although I’m not in a position to say who’s going to be signed. What we have developed with Zulu is a very strong network of distribution for independent records. 19’ ;. hindered by a .bad soundman soundmen have been shot for less fucking up than he did - by the time High and Wired rolled around, the clancefloor.was full, and not just with those silly Queen St. West-ers either. Glenn Milchem’s stellar drumming was louder than Bill Grove has ever let it be before and Bryant Didier’s bass-playing was tougher. Whitenoise have finally realized that what they’re best at is funky dance music - and now they do it better than anyone in Toronto (with the possible exception of Vital Sines). Whitenoise got some help from some extra musicians: James Gray on keyboards, Nit Gotham on alto sax, Perry White on tenor sax, the stunning Becky Jenkins on backup voc& and the onmipresent Holly Cole, also doing backup vocals. Fleshed out to their full lo-person complement, Whitenoise produce a satisfying, danceable roar. See these guys, soon! If energy and facial ‘contortions were the sole measures of a band’s worth, Fishbone would kick the rest of the world’s butt. Unfortunately, they often lapse into tedious skaworship - it keeps the 16-year old mods happy, but that’s about it. If ever they get down and put some real variety into their music, they’ll be kings, for now they’re just pretenders to the throne.
We currently have something between five and seven hundred titles in our catalogue from companies like SST and Enigma. So we put a lot of time into building up that end of the business, but now with the new album coming out, we’re gonna concentrate on the music and getting a little more of a public image for ourselves. How can a band like Go Four 3 have such a catchy sound and not be picked up by a major?
That’s really hard to say, I mean we’re a pop band and out of all the Zulu bands, I think we have the most accessible sound. Ultimately we would like to be signed to a major if some guy from a label called to,morrow ... . and said, “Yeah, we really like what your-e doing and we respect your music, you wanna sign with us?” well, we probably would if they’d let us work on our own terms. But I really can’t see that happening for a while.

“I /oue it when he’s happy!” This, preceded by a giggle of delight, was a comment by a girl in the audience, and a compliment (and deservedly so) to Bruce Beaton (Scrooge), in Wednesday night’s A Christmas Ccvo~. There are two performances on today (10 a.m., 1:30 p.m.) and three on Saturday, (lo:30 a.m., l:OO, 3:30 p.m.). The story of Scrooge is similar to Shakespeare’s King Leur. Both are stories of an old, fading man’s enlightenment through introspection. The outside vehicles which provide for the awareness reached by Scrooge are the three ghosts of Christmas. For King Lear, these are his three daughters. The girl in the audience “loved it when he was happy” because she had seen Scrooge change from an old man into an excited school boy - a transformation Bruce Beaton undergoes with a high degree of believability. Scrooge straightens his back as he straightens out his life, and changes his credo from “humbug” to “humble.” Doug Abel, as the three ghosts, is a disciplined performer. He and Beaton combine well on stage. Abel moves incredibly gracefully, like an accomplished dancer. Stewart Easun, alias Bob Cratchit, and the rest of the Cratchit clan, also deliver inspired performances. Not once did Tiny Tim let his lame foot down. Gary Lenz is quite a character actor based on his performances as Marley, and Old Joe. Although his warning to Scrooge is said in slow motion, he’s skilled enough to pull it

Of the great gospel groups like the Dixie Hummingbirds, Swan Silvertones$ Soul Stirrers, the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi (and Alabama), the Caravans etc., etc. none have had such a distinctive sound and as great an influence on the soul and especially rock music that would follow in the mid-Sixties as did the Staple Singers. Under the guiding hand of Roebuck ‘Pop’ Staples, his daughters Yvonne, Purvis, Cleotha and Mavis formed a family quartet based in
Chicago during the early Fifties. Although the sisters’ vocal abilities were quite impressive, it was Pop’s uncommon arrangements and most importantly his guitar playing that set the Staple Singers apart from all other groups. Pop began playing guitar while working on a plantation during the Thirties in Mississippi absorbing the influence of Big Bill Broonzy as well as local delta artists. Over the next twenty years his style developed into something truly unique. Although minimalistic, the sound of his guitar bears a rich and darkly ominous quality characterized by a thick vibratto and a knack for playing idiosyncratic notes against the grain of the harmonic structure built by the vocals that somehow provides just the right counterpoint. The clearest statement of Pop Staples’ accomplishment is found in

the group’s fourth session for the Vee Jay label in late 1956 with their recording of his own hymn Unc/o’uoy Day. That chilling guitar sound weaves in and out through Mavis’ warm and breathy lead 70 create on of the most unforgettable moments in recorded gospel music. The Pray On L.P. covers this and most’of theother highlights from the Staples’ five-year recording period (begining in 1955) with Chicago’s Vee Jay. Included is the title track Pray On that features Mavis at her shouting best (wearing her Dorothy Love Coates influence proudly) and the exceptional drumming of Marshall Thompson (whom, as noted by Mr. Done, later gained fame as a singer/drummer for one of the great soul-vocal groups of the Seventies: The Chi-lites). Mavis is also well-represented in Don’t Driue Me Away and Downward Road. For the guitar fans, songs like the rock-a-billy tinged Going Awuy, and Let’s Go Home should prove to be educational. At least their version of This May Be The Last Time was helpful to Mick Jagger as the similarity of the the Stones’ mid-Sixties hit Last Time to the Staples arrangement (recorded first in 1954) is undeniable. Anyone searching for the roots of rock music need look no further.

To play music that is unashamedly roots-oriented is often thought regressive by musos wor-
ried about the stagnation of popular music. However, with the reggae world being largely dominated by the vapid, sickeningly slick, production-line reggae disco of the likes of Sugar Minott and Half Pint, it’s surprisingly refreshing to hear someone like Errol Blackwood who remembers the early days of Jimmy Cliff and the horn arrangements of The Skatallites. Chant Chant Chant is a remarkable accomplishment for the exsinger/songwriter/bassist of
Canadian reggae legends (if there is ’ such a thin& Messenjah, and his partner, Ray Ruddock. Playing everything except the horns themselves, A!!E!b they have produced four songs as REACH OUT good as anything Messenjah ever TO THE WORLD recorded. From the sounds of this mini-lp, Blackwood was not only the prime mover behind Messenjah$ but he was also held back by the rest of the band and only now does -his songwriting stand out as it always should have in his move from Messenjah’s flawed attempts at crossing over into the rock and pop markets toward a more sensuous, rootsier reggae sound. Not quite a Sly & Robbie, Blackwood’s throbbing bass and Ruddock’s percussion dominate the title track and make for a riddim-as intoxicating as a truckload of vintage ganja on this buoyant raveup. Special Ejfect and Eusy Liuing follow ’ suit on the flip with sonorous horn hooks of the sort that made LJB40 a premier reggae band four or five years ago and Errol’s carefree, weedy vocal style which does a pretty good job of evoking memories of one Bob Marley for a Kitchener-native.. Blackwood’s brightest gem, though, is the reverent sway of &ware. Your basic “peace and Jahlove” reggae plea with lyrics like, “We got the the wisdom to build planes and trains and guns and bombs/We have not the wisdom to love each other”, as long as defense spending so overwhelmingly outweighs aid to impoverished nations, there will still be a sad irony inherent in those words. No rock overtones, no disco dubs,<none of the more gimmicky trappings of toasting, Chant Chant Chant is simple, no-frills, but wellproduced and well-written reggae. A fan could hardly ask for more.

I heard an interesting story recently that, reportedly, happened to the friend of a woman that my sister works with. The story goes that this friend, a woman, was in vacation doing some shopping and other such things. Furthermore this woman was terrified of black people, black men in particular. This fact may seem extraneous right

now, but its significance will become evident. After another hard day of shopping, the woman returned to her hotel room, presumably to deposit her purchases. She boarded the elevator up, which promptly stopped at the next floor. A black man then got on, carrying a small dog which she, in her fear, didn’t notice. The woman turned away from the man in an attempt to calm her screaming nerves. LIE

floor? asked the man, leaning over her. Confused, she lifted her head and looked around the elevator to see the dog; it too was lying on the floor. She got up and, embarrassed and more than slightly shaken, explained her story to the man, who carried her packages to her room for her. The next day was the last of the woman’s vacation. When she was leaving, she went down to the reception desk to pay her bill. When she got there, she found out that it had already been paid, by a Mr. Lionel Richie! . . . by the way, Brotherhood, the new New Order album, is dismally mundane.

D-Train have finally hit the big time after nearly a half-decade of churning out great dance music for Prelude Records, a small New Yorkbased independent label. Sadly though, Miracles of the Heart, the first D-Train album released on CBS Records, is by far their worst. It starts off on an encouraging note with You Are Euerything, whose chunky rhythm and dense synths recall the bast of D-Train’s work such as You’re The One For Me, Keep On, Music, or Hustle and Bust/e oj The City. However, from there the album is strictly Boresville, with a seemingly endless stream of slow crooning ballads.

It must be difficult for Three Colors to live up to Tony Fletcher’s “greatest band in the world” claim that appeared in his N.M.E. review of the group’s self-titled debut miniL.P. Since uncovering such bands as Wet Wet Wet and the Faith Brothers in his now defunct magazine Jamming!, Flet&r’s track record has shown that his pronouncements are not to be taken lightly. “So what’s the big deal?’ you may well ask - the line up is not wildly unusual: guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and sax played by five regular (human) guys from the E3oston area in that same happy-go-lucky 4/4 time that has been around since fire.

was on 1984% I Pleasure, but they’re not. Instead, they conform to the hollow “fuck music” stereotype which plagues modern black music. They call this stuff “soul” ha! James (D-Train) Williams, the singer and Hubert Eaves III, who plays most of the instruments and produces, should have stuck to the hard, funky sound which brought them the success that got them signed to a conglomerate like CBS. But, like a lot of bands, they think that being on a major label means changing your style to suit the label’s image. Wrong-o. With the exception of You Are EueryU-ting - almost worth the price of the album in itself, Miracles of the Heart is a big, big failure. Not even the soft-focus of the cover photography can hide James Williams’ huge weight gains. You can tell a band has gone soft and showbizzy when God’s “ThankYou” billing gets dropped below some guy called Larkin Arnold whose “Thank-You” includes the following: (/et’s take another /imo ride). Showbiz, ya jus gotta lurve it! The big deal is that the standard pop-rock rhythm format has been turned inside-out and a ska pattern glued to one side, forcing the groove to slunk from side-to-side unpredictably now and again but never at the expense of a melody which they seem to hold sacred above all: When they speak, out come the plums: “It’s not easy to swallow a bowling ball”, “I’ve got paper on my shelf, I’ll give you some”, all told with the religious fervour usually reserved for evangelical donation leeching scams. Every aspect of their performance is handled so effortlessly, and meshes together so precisely, it is difficult to think of any alternate arrangement of songs or instrumentation that would improve their sound. All the fat has been cut off leaving every note essential and that’s the way it should be. No doubt, it’s the way Tony Fletcher would have it or he wouldn’t have given up his day job to manage them.

bottom, so I need not say anything about it. The rest of the New Brunette EP consists entirely of Billy’s interpretations of other people’s songs of the sort that we’ve seen. and loved him doing live for decades but, until now, he has never recorded. Thoroughly miffed at not being asked by Elvis O’Riordan to be a Coward Brother, our hero set out to find his own singing family. Hank Wangford, he found, was also aghast at at not being adopted. So together they made a pact, sealed in blood, to fight for truth and justice and to sing a Woody Guthrie song now and then (providing of course there were no difficult chords and it was done in Billy’s key). Their debut here is ?%e Deportees which tells of the sad plight faced by migrant workers and, like just about every song Woody ever wrote, it magically expands while you’re listening to encompass the struggle of every human. Billy graciously lets Hank sing it while he wears the frilly skirt and sings harmony. On the flip, you’re sure to be struck by Billy’s charming attempt at what would appear to be a falsetto. Yes, I think that is a falsetto in the middle of The Tattler (borrowed from Ry Cooder’s “Paradise and Lunch” LP) which should quash any competition from Natassia Kinski (“Paris, Texas”) in the Best Texan Drawl By A Foreign Artist category. Because Jeane is probably the second best song that Little Stephen has ever written, and due to the fact the Smiths never perform it anymore, Billy (never a man to let an obscure B-side go to waste) had taken it upon himself to help out his pals by playing it every soundcheck. Now Billy has thrown out most of the Morrisseyisms (keeping just the essential whining ‘tri-i-i-ed’s’) and recorded it himself, just voice and guitar with an “out of the hat” production giving it a wintery feeling that the Smiths’ version never touched upon. Ace! Let’s see about Back To The Old House. The EP’s final song is an instrumental take of the traditional There’s Power In A Union that features a lovely solo bit by world renowned mandolinist John Porter, who is known to have produced the odd Smiths LP in his spare time to pay the rent. The New Brunette EP shows that with Johnny Marr and John Porter now securely under Bragg’s thumb, Geoff Travis’ plot to get rid of Morrissey and return the Smiths to Rough Trade with Billy fronting the band is a mere hop, skip and a jump away. Andy thinks Billy’s a much sharper dresser than Mr. M. . anyway . . . the plot thickens.

Anyone who more than a passing Big Chill/“yeah, I really like that Motown stufY’ interest in Soul music must eventually, in tracing Soul’s roots, arrive at Gospel Music. Most of the great soul singers came from Gospel - Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Al Green, Aretha Franklin and Bobby Womack to name just a few. Greater than this fact alone is, the way in which Gospel helped shape Soul’s musical and vocal styles. In examining the spectrum of Soul music, there are direct, close ancestors in Gospel Music. Whether it’s the tight, falsetto harmonies of Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, the gruff shouting of an Edwin Starr or the call-and-response of Sam and Dave, Gospel music is always lurking just below the surface. Among the many forms ofiGospel Music, the Quartets (which weren’t restricted to four members) most influenced Soul Music. The great Quartets - The Five Blind Boys, ‘The Dixie Hummingbirds, The Soul Stirrers, The Swan Silvertones were the stars of their day. Travelling from town to town, performing in Churches, each had to prove that they were the hardest, they were the most soulful. These groups also produced singers who were (at least) the equal of the great soul singers like Ira Tucker of The Dixie Hummingbirds, Archie Brownlee of The Five Blind Boys, Clarence Fountain of The Five Blind Boys of Alabama (different from The Blind Boys above), Claude Jeter of The Swan Silvertones and Rebert Harris (yes, that’s R-e-b-e-r-t) of The Soul Stirrers (who also had a young Sam Cooke after Rebert left). Bobby Womack once said that Sam Cooke wasn’t fit to carry Archie Browm/ee’s jockstrap and while that may not be entirely true, there’s often a purity in Gospel music that Soul rarely achieved.

Frankly, B.A.D.‘s second release, No;lO, Upping St. is an album that’s just .p[ain shit. I’m sure producer Joe Strummer had a lot to with it being The Swan Silvertones Claude Jeter formed The Swan Silvertones in 1938 in West Virginia and despite the personnel changes during the three decades of their existence, Jeter was always the focus of the group. The influence of his strong, sweet falsetto can be easily heard in the singing of Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Smokey Robinson and Eddie Kendricks (of The Tempations). The Swan Silvertones also had a succession of shouters who traded off lead vocals with Jeter. By the time the songs on Get Your Soul Right were recorded for Vee Jay Records of Chicago, The Swan Silvertones had evolved from the simple a capella of their earlier work to a more complex sound, using sparse instrumental backing. This period - the late-‘50s and early-‘60s was after the group, and Gospel music in general, had hit its peak.
“just plain shit”
The Swan Silvertones, like many groups, had hit their peak under the guidance of singer/arranger Paul Owens, who seemed to bring success to every group he joined. Even so, there’s still a lot of superb, deeply emotional music on the rei cord. Claude Jeter’s graceful falsetto is displayed at its best on the slower songs like Stand Up and Testify, perhaps the album’s best example of the wonderful limpidity and clarity of his voice. In his understated manner, Jeter wrings the most out of every syllable he sings. Many other facets of the group are also displayed on Get Your Soul Right - the doo-wop of A Lady Caled Mother-, the uptempo vocal stylings of Seek, Seek and, my personal favorite, the withering testifyin’ narration of At The Cross. Despite the fact that this isn’t The Swan Silver-.

such utter drivel. Well, we-can’t put all the blame on poor Joe, because his buddy Mick Jones is awful on guitars and because bassist Leo Williams is so out of whack with his timing. Yeah, it seems that these guys were having a good time anyway because they were probably too wasted during the recording sessions to give a second thought about the muck that they had laid down on tape. This album represents Hip Hop
The album is garbage. There isn’t one song on the album
that remotely compares to the band’s previous efforts like the foot stomping, hip &akin’ 77re Bottom Line or the ultra-smooth WC 2. l’he only song that is worth mentioning is V. thirteen, which is not even a wild party number. It’s that kind song of that you’d have your radio-cassettealarm clock unit wake you up to on a nice breezy and
sunny Caribbean laid-back-smokea-joint type of morning. Yeah you ‘might want to down a dry Martini in the process too, if you’re into that scene. Oh right, there is another song worth mentioning called Da!A -Hitman. You should listen to the
phone call this guy makes to his hitman. The song itself is garbage like the rest of the album. So do yourself a favour and give this album a very wide berth.

For a while it looked as though the Loft were gone for good. A slow public decomposition complete with on-stage arguments orchestrated by singer/writer Peter Astor culminating in a mid-set exit by the group’s guitarist. Suddenly all that was left of the Loft was the so-so Why D-s The Rain single and the inhumanly magnificent Up The Hill EP. Not a peep was heard from Astor again until last year’s It’s Different For Domeheads compilation where he resurfaced in the guise of the Weather Prophets, carrying with him only drummer Dave Morgan from the Loft. ,

Since then, the Prophets have released one single in three forms: 7”, 7” double pack, and 12”. The album Diesel River isactually little more than a fourth version of the single release in that it is a collection of all the additional songs from the EP and 7” double pack along with Worm Zn My Brain from the Domeheads compilation . . . marketing magic! If you don’t already have the single or EP, the album is essential. Their sound bears the obvious ‘Velvet Underground earmarks so prevalent in today’s avant pop but seems to reach beyond what many other Velvetoids offer. Sliding delta and uptown Chicago blues also figure prominently in the Prophets’ sound and are heard most clearly in their covers of Robert Johnson’s Stones In My Passbay and Chuck Berry’s Downbound Train. The cool atmosphere set by a laz-
ily twanged guitar creeps into Astor’s own compositions like Head Ouer Zjeels, recreating the eerie spaciousness not unlike the sound of the pre-Excello Slim Harpo. You get that very same sense of tension, the feeling that everything may blow up in your face at any moment. Lyrically the songs are literate without being self-consciously so as seems to be poor Lloyd Cole’s problem of late. Like Frankie Lyman, another in the long line of soul singer references is used metaphorically to convey the naive euphoria of “dance all night . . . squeeze me tight” first love, the kind that Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers were prone to get excited
about
back in the mid-
Fifties vocal group peak. It is also interesting to note the connotations ‘of to sing like Frankie Lyman as it applies to a new romance considering Lymon’s troubled life and drug overdose death. Brilliant!

Written in his final productive period, his ominus Grosse Fuge, Opus 133 is an exhausting work for both the orchestra and the audience, because it is a heavy contapuntal work.

Fine Art by Ingrid Mattson Imprint Staff The Fine Arts Guild Show opened November 7 with style (French wine!) thanks to St. Jerome’s College, the sponsor of the show (stylistic maneuvers were also executed by those trying to avoid the 7-UP spilled all over the floor by my nephew). The 17 paintings exhibited were chosen by a jury from entries submitted by U. of W. Fine Arts students. It is not surprising that the fourthyear honours students are well represented in the show; as an Art History major I have enjoyed watching the artistic conceptions and styles of the Studio majors mature during their time at Waterloo. Joel Perron and Monica Brollo, who each have a work in the show, have displayed increasingly refined and professional techniques over the years. Tim Perlich, that groovy Imprint music reviewer shows a (dare I say it?) darker side in his visual work. His black and white painting The Rasement portrays a blurred, leather-jacketed youth of distorted proportions, gagging a struggling man whom he regards with detachment - . or is it tenderness? In Louise Reid’s Untitled, an icon-like mummy stands in the portal of a soaring red building against a tropical blue sky. With its funkycolours and ambiguity of space, the painting seems like a scene from some unnamed Arabian tale. The artists who represent other years of the Fine Arts program have notably highly-individualized styles. Auggie Corvino’s On the Grand Canal, Venice has the impressionistic sense of a hot, hazy Italian afternoon. This is no standard palette-knife technique however; Auggie has developed his own method of applying paint to canvas to create a beautiful and interesting surface. In contrast, Charles Gagnon’s brushwork is very loose in his painting I am Passing Room 10 They Moyed Me Out Yesterday (Quel titre Charles!). How can a valve look mysterious? I don’t know, but somehow Charles has transformed this most ordinary of objects into an enigmatic figure emerging out of greyness (I refrain from commenting on the sexual implications of plumbing parts). The Guild show in St. Jerome.‘s Library is a good opportunity to see what is going on in the Fine Arts Department at this .university. The show- runs until .November 28. . -

Jerks transition to metal doesn’t work by Joe Sary Imprint Staff The Circle Jerks, Hollywood’s veteran fun-punk band, released their latest album, Wonderful, late last year but it only reached our Record Store recently. The album, unfortunately, was not worth the wait. The Jerks have lost most of the humour and youthful energy that made them enjoyable on past albums like Group Sex, and Golden Shower of Hits. All that remains are their simplistic . arrangements and amateurish instrumentation that always kept the Circle Jerks from being a great band. The Jerks have made the mistake of joining the ever growing number of punk bands who are slowing down their music in an attempt to

The overall sound is ethereally captivating but at thk same time it is also heavily laden with a pervading sadness that can make the album a chore to listen to. You have to be in a rather moody frame of mind to be able to enjoy such melancholic beauty. The most enchanting songs are the ones sung by Deirdre and Louise Rutkowski. They include the songs Tarantula and Morning Gray. 1 Want To Liue as sung by Alison Limerick and Caroline Seaman is another captivating number of immensely passionate beauty.

But instead of attaining the melody and rhythm necessary for slower songs, the Jerks sound like a bunch of kids just starting a-band or old men slowed down by arthritic fingers. Either way, the Circle Jerks just don’t have enough talent or song writing ability to give up on their trademark’ 30~second-blasts of thrash. Keith Morris’ (an ex-Black Flag man) voice sounds horrible trying to carry a melody and Greg Hetson’s guitar work sounds even worse. New members Keith Clark on drums and bassist Zander Schloss (who, incidentally, played geeky Kevin in Repo Man) provide an adequate rhythm section but they can dolittle to save this record.

All the songs are threaded together to form a very cohesive body of music that moves in shades and shadows with an unrelenting poise. There are melliflous string arrangements such as the ones that can be found on Tears that radiate a tremendous amount of feeling. The al-. bum seemingly goes through an unfolding process whereby the multiplicities of song structures and styles are played out in such brilliant harmony. Filigree and Shadow is an absolute gem of an an album. It’s vdmbly going to be one of 1986’s best kept secrets.

Then, when we started writing songs, those were the bands we patterned our writing after. It’s not like we were simply copying them or anything, but you have to have a starting point and that was ours, you know, lots of guitars and catchy guitar lines and anything after that’11 make the music sound better. I think you’ll find that that will be the case on the new album. It’s a lot more adventurous musically. We’re using a lot more instruments, even a sitar on one song, but it won’t be like z;rr . Harrison dominating a song You mention using a more complex sound on the new album. Were you satisfied with the simpler sound on the mini-album? Definitely. Well, there are always small things that you wish you’d done differently in retrospect, you know, if you knew then what you know now sort of thing. If there was anything that bothered anyone during recording, we’d do it over again so everyone was pretty happy with the way it turned out. I think the songs on it can compare with anything around today and will stand the test of time and that’s because of our approach - the basis of all our -
music is just good, simple songwriting. Do you think commercial radio will open up anymore for you or for the pop-punk sound of people like That Petrol Emotion in general? Well, that’s another place where being on a major helps. When radio stations get an independently produced record in the mail, it just goes into the garbage. But that’s not our number one goal anyway - we just want to reach as many people as possible on our own terms and if commercial radio won’t take our stuff, well, that’s too bad, I guess. Campus radio and the CBC have been good and we were shocked that MuchMusic picked up Just ‘Another Day. If radio was as open to diff erent things and independent stuff like MuchMusic is, there’d be no problem. But you have to remember that radio stations just play records to fill in the space between commercials so anything that’s not well-known is just ignored.

Grapes of Wrath
November by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff
In September Bowl Of Green, Kelowna’s Grapes of, Wrath produced what is likely the best Canadi’ an album of last year and established themselves as a worldclass guitar-pop band. Using the acoustic guitar in a uniquely clear, expressive way, songs like And I ,Know and When Love Comes Around were supremely tasty slices of guitar-oriented, heartfelt pop with subtle harmonies, and Kevin Kane’s delivery could wring tears from a stone, especially on Breaks My Heart. This sound was reproduced admirably at Fed Hall last Friday and though the performance of singer-guitarist I Kane, bassist-vocalist Tom Hooper and his drumming brother, Chris showed an alarming amount of studied pop-star poses and a lack of honest perspiration, the show seemed to leave far more converts than heretics.
So much for the preamble. The Grapes of Wrath first came to national attention with the release of their debut EP on Vancouver’s Nettwerk Records. Although the band says that Nettwerk is currently recording an unsigned guitar band, the first and only non-electronic band, signed to the label which also features Skinny Puppy and Severed Heads among others landed the deal through Greg Reely who produced the Misunderstanding EP and the first album. “1 guess they wanted to st$e a balance with the electronic bands,” they say, all three of them generally talking at once, “but we actually had a good grounding in electronic music when we started. We recorded an EP on our own and Greg Reely who worked on it with us took it to Nettwerk along with Moe& Alibis which he also did. Being on Nettwerk has helped a lot, especially then, because it saved us all the money of pressing, packaging, and distributing the record. We put all our money into recording the thing.” With the licensing of Nettwerk Records to Capitol, The Grapes of Wrath have made the leap out of the cheap hotels and shithole gigs df indiedom and into the big leagues. But if you’re looking for self-righteous indie-talk about how they had to sign to a major against their will or how they hate record companies, forget it. The Grapes make no bones about how pleased they are to have a deal with a major, breaking it all down to getting the maximum number of people to hear their product which is, really, the reason for starting a band in the first place. “The deal with Capitol has made things much easier. You get better ., promotion, better distribution, it’s _ ’ faster to get repressings, and you ) ” -g@:,much better access to radio. Be. ’ -’ .’ ” fc%@ the Capitol deal, we onIy got

campus airplay which did help a lot but now we’re getting tentative FM acceptance. We’re being added across the country and in every major city, we’ve been playlisted on one station. The new single (When Loue Comes Around) is more of a crossover, it should take it to commercial radio.” Hmmm . . . But do you think it will affect the sound at all? “Yes,” they say with knowing smiles, guessing the interviewer’s equation of major label music and boring, chart-hungry pap. “Our new work will be better produced. Since signing with Capitol, we’ve gotten much better connections through them with real professionals so the new album will sound much better.” Largely due to the success of labels like Nettwerk and Zulu (see Go Four 3 interview) and the recent signing of 54-40 to WEA, Vancouver has been seen as something of a mecca for Canadian independent talent and there is a fair proliferation of fine bands from the West Coast area ranging from the more alternative, political sounds of Animal Slaves to the over-the-top rock and roar of the now-defunct Slow. In spite of this, The Grapes say that the scene is not exactly all roses and no thorns. “Nobody’s gotten anymore contracts yet, but at least the fact of some of us getting signed has given other bands the incentive to get serious about what they’re doing. People figure that if we could get signed, then they can get contracts. I mean, we’ve actually had people come up to us and say, ‘How the hell did you get a contract? But it’s good when people start talking about there being such a big scene and all this because it creates interest in the bands nobody knows yet.” Like 54-40, success in the U.S. would seem to be a good bet for The Grapes of Wrath whose sound fits in nicely with the current renaissance of ’60sinfluenced guitar-pop both in the States and the U.K. Released on Capitol in the U.S., they’ve been picked up on MTV, received writeups in magazines like Spin, and are planning a tour in January, but as yet, haven’t cracked the tough shell of American commercial radio. Do they think that North American will ever open up for simple, unembellished, sincere pop? “Well, the Jazz Butcher did great over here, but ultimately, the success of guitar-pop or any sort of music depends on who’s writing about it. In England, those types of bands do well because the press is always hyping them. But I think the market’s opening up in Canada and in the States although it’s more of a guitar-rock thing there.”
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about that Grapes of Wrath debut was the sound. Clear, clean, and completely uncluttered theirs is a sound that draws its strength from its sparseness, a stark emotionalism put to the fore and reflected in the music. But.pfter receiving universal acclaim, they say they were not entirely satisfied with September BowI of.Green: “We had input into the production, but it didn’,t quite shape up to what we wanted. The
new album will go much smoother and sound much better. We’re gonna use more electric guitars, more keyboards, and harder vocals and harmonies, whatever it takes to make it sound better. “We’ve already got it on a demo and now we have to see what Capitol is doing. They’ve already expressed interest in it, and now we just have to see when they can put it out. We’re gonna start recording it in February and hopefully it’ll be out before summer.” Do you see yourselves dirtying the sound a bit and adding more noise or feedback? “We’ll add things like that for more texture and depth, but we’re more into standard rock feedback rather than something like The Jesus And Mary Chain. Feedback is only one .element’ of a song. It’s a good tool, but you can’t base a song around like they do and still make good records. They’re just a fad. “The music always comes first. It’s funny that people always think of us as a non-feedback, but we’ve always done some of that. Like, Didn’t YOU Say Something is a really noisy song. But everyone thinks that because we do one thing well, we can’t do anything else.”
n
“What we’d like to do is get a more experienced producer, someone who’s done major label bands, but Capitol has to approach them, they have the pull. David Foster, for one, told us he’d like to work with us. That would be great. Seriously.” Sounds pretty gruesome, this proposed marriage ‘of jangle-masters with Canada’s leading jingle‘monger but, as they say, time will tell. For now dig into September Bowl of Green and catch ‘em if you can.

B-ball Athenas fare tie11 in tourney with top teams by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff
Athlete of the Week Paul Boyce Warrior basket ball
Athlete Alison Athena
Paul is a masters student in mathematics in his fifth year of eligibility with the Warriors. He hails for Sudbury, where he attended La Salle high school _
Alison, who is studying Optometry at UW, is a third-year Athena figure skater.‘She comes to Waterloo from Sault Ste.. Marie, Last weekend Alison and her fellow teammates skated to a first-place finish at the UW figure skating invitational. This marked the second year in a row the Athenas had captured the overall team championship. Alison placed second in the intermediate similar dance, first in the formation 14 step and first in the junior similar pairs category. The title required a total team effort and Alison was a major factor in making that happen. Alison was a member of the Athena team that won the OWIAA championship last year. She was the individual winner in the junior similar pairs event at the OWIAA championship last season. Alison and her teammates hope to capture another OWIAA title for Waterloo when they compete at the provincial championships in February.
Paul was an All-Canadian honourable mention last season and is off to a flying start this season. In three pre-season tournaments he has been named to the tournament all-start team on each occasion and was also the MVP of the Guelph tournament. ‘Last weekend the 6’6” Warrior captain continued his climb up the Waterloo all-time scoring ladder with 62 points and 25 rebounds at the McGill tournament. -The Warriors took the Redmen of McGill to double overtime in the final game before dropping a 162-94 decision. Paul was voted a tournament all-star for his determined play at both ends of the court. He will have to maintain his intensity this weekend as the Warriors host the 19th annual Naismith Classic at the PAC.
of the Week Hayes-Sheen figure skating
Figure Skating Last year the Athena Figure Skating team won the OWIAA competition. With several new additions to the team, the Athena’s continued their championship tradition by acquiring the top honour at the UW Invitational. The annual competition was held last Saturday at Columbia Icefields. The dance category was divided into four levels. The novice levelsaw Lesley Cross and Anna da Silva teamed up for fifth place. Heather Hulme and Allison Hayes-Sheen brought in second place and Barb Brubacher and Ruth Brown finished fifth at the junior level. Margo Fraser and Karen Lukasik finished second at the Senior level. In the intermediate solo event, Brubacher danced to a second place finish and at the senior solo level Janet Bard finished third and Karen Lukasik fifth. The team of Bard, Lukasik, Brown and Hayes-Sheen teamed up for a first-place showing in Formation Fourteenstep.
The singles freestyle category was divided into five levels. In novice, Richelle Allen skated to a fourth-place finish. De Silva finished second at the junior level. Also, at this level and the intermediate level Rankie skated to fifth place. Lie1 Walton finished third in the senior division while Margo Fraser and Bonnie Caywood placed second and third respectively at the open freestyle level. There were three levels in the similar pair category. At all three levels, Waterloo brought in first-place showings. HayesSheen and Rankie teamed up at the junior level, Brubacher and da Silva competed in the intermediate category while at the senior level, Hulme competed with Stephanie Muller. The weekend competition proved successful with Waterloo attaining several total team points higher than the second the place team, and capturing gold medal, reinstating the Athenas at the top.
L Naismith Classic . Waterloo vs. WLU Friday 8 p.m. at the PAC
The Waterloo Basketball Athenas accomplished what they sought to do last week when they faced four .of the top 10 teams in Canada. Winning only one of four games may not seem like something to be proud of, but the inexperienced Athenas proved that they can be competitive at the national level with their performances against Toronto, Laval, and Manitoba. With Laurentian this was not the case, however, good news can be squeaked out of that game as well. The Athenas played against last year’s CIAU champions the University of Toronto Nov. 5. Toronto came out on top 71-64 in an exciting game which saw the Athenas climb up from a substantial deficit to within two points near the end of the game. Toronto pulled away in the last few seconds to strangle Waterloo’s hope for a victory. Corinna’ Lueg led with 22 points, while Cindy Poag scored 18. This game also saw the emergence of Michelle ‘Campbell, who has been relatively quiet so far this year. She played outstanding when on the the floor, however, foul trouble kept her out for most of the second half. The weekend’s tournament at Laurentian revealed both bad news and good news for the
good news . . . and bad news . l
l
Athenas. The bad news is that the Athenas were overwhelmed by Laurentian 80-36 in the first game of the tourney. Laurentian, probably ranked 81 in the country, is led by one national, one junior national, and five provincial players. Waterloo went into this game rather nervously and were intimidated by the vastly more experienced Laurentian players. Michelle Campbell led the Athenas with 13 points in the first game of what was to become a highly successful weekend for herself. Losing a game 80-36 usually will kill any confidence that a team may have had previously. However, the upstart Waterloo came right back with a 59-49 victory over last year’s 66 ranked Laval, who will be hosting the CIAU championships this year. It was an overall team effortby the Athenas, with Cindy Poag scoring 18 points, Sheila Windle shooting for 10, and Michelle Campbell chipping in 10 more points. Lava1 lost to Laurentian by only 10 points, giving the Athenas a confidence booster much needed in future play against the tough Laurentian squad. Waterloo was beginning to see that they in fact can play at this level and go into the games feeling that they can win. Manitoba was up by four with two minutes left to play against Waterloo when some questionable fouls went Manitoba’s way, enabling them to defeat the Athenas 80-68. Manitoba scored 22 points from the free-throw line, which was “the difference in the game” according to Coach Warren Sutton. Otherwise, the. game could have gone either
way. Corinna Lueg, after playing below her ability in the first two games, exploded for 29 points in this game, with Cindy Poag and Sheila Windle scoring,14 and 12 points respectively. Michelle Campbell was an allstar selection in this tournament. This was based on Campbell’s consistent scoring and outstanding allAaround play,.and was quite special because she comes off the bench. Michelle was also in very good company, being selected along with national, jr. national, and provincial players.
The Athena plavers were pleased with their play and now realize where they fit in with the top 10. With the toughest week of basketball ever played by an Athena basketball team behind them, they are right on track to win the OWIAA West Division this year. They have a core of six very strong players and the added bonus of six players who are definitely not liabilities out. on the court. The regular season has now started, last Wednesday against MacMaster, and the next home game is against Laurier at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 26 at the PAC.
Warriors
lose hard fought b-ball game
by Mike McGraw Imprint staff
.
A fatigued Waterloo Warriors basketball team saw victory barely escape their grasp at the McGill University tournament last weekend. However, as they proved in Winnipeg, the Warriors won’t go down without fight. Playing in their third tournament in as many weeks, the feisty Warriors , finally succumbed to the host club Redmen in a breath-taking double-overtime championship game, 10294. “We suffered from the three F’s? said coach Don McCrae of the final game, “Fatigue, free throws, and fouls.” What McCrae was referring to was his team’s nine missed free throws in the two overtime periods, along with their continued foul trouble throughout the game. John Bilawey, Jamie McNeil1 and John Clark all fouled out of the McGill game, while three other Waterloo players registered four fouls each. McCrae observed that play such as this is “usually a sign of fatigue.” The final was deadlocked at 82 after regulation time, while Pat Telford’s free throw tied the game at 91 with no time remaining in the first overtime period. By the second overtime session, fatigue had taken its toll on the Warriors who were forced to foul the Redmen in an effort to slow the game down. McGill was the surprise of the tournament, as after a poor first game they improved as they went along. Both the Warriors and Redmen finished the round-ro,bin tourney with 2-1 records, McGill winning on the basis of the head to head battle. 1 Waterloo opened the tournament on Friday night with a 7773 victory over the Atlantic Conference’s St. Mary’s squad. Paul Boyce was on the mark again as he led the Warriors with 25 points, while Rob Froese, Tom Schneider and Bilawey all chipped in 14. Their second match of the tourney was against the dark-horse Ryerson Rams. Froese was the high scorer with 23 as the Warriors triumphed, 86-76. Boyce added 18 points while centre McNeil1 contributed 14 and pulled down 17 rebounds in a fine defensive effort. The Warriors enter this weekend’s Naismith Classic at the PAC with an impressive 7-3 record. Their record is tarnished only by the double overtime loss
to McGill, and two other onepoint setbacks’ including the final at Winnipeg three weeks ago. Fatigue and injuries may hamper the Warriors during Naismith. In addition to being tired, the Waterloo injured list includes Bilawey (groin pull) ,’ Craig Beda (quadracep pull), McNeil1 (chronic knee] and Froese (elbow infection). McCrae is compensating for the situation by providing his forces with some time to rest this week. “We’re anxious about fatigue for the Naismith Classic/said McCrae.“But we’re resting at the expense of practice time to rally our forces for the tournament.” He added that all four injured players will be ready for this weekend’s action. Naismith action continues all day at the PAC, with the Waterloo-Laurier tip-off at 8 tonight. The Warriors will also be in action November 27 when the pow’ erful Estonia men’s team visits the PAC.

Hockey Warriors win by Jonathan Sadleir Imprint staff The two wins over Laurentian this past weekend-advanced the Warriors to second-place where they sit with Western and Laurier. York, who the Warriors play this Sunday in a game that is billed as the University battle of the week is sitting rather comfortably at the top. Last Saturday’s game was a goal-fest as the Warriors trounced Laurentian 10-5. The bulk of the scoring came in the first period as Waterloo scored five of their 10 and Laurentian
popped in four. The second and third period saw a settling down by the Warriors who forechecked their way to 42 shots on net with all four units scoring. The weekend belonged to the Orange Crush line of Goodman, Dietrich, Rintche, Smith and Cole. The line played excellent hockey in both games shutting down Laurentians. top line and breaking loose offensively in the second test to score some key goals Although Laurentian played tighter hockey in their own end (avoiding the the profusion of turnovers they had in the first
to the equation.
match) they played an undisciplined brand of hockey racking up the bulk of the penalties; allowing the Warriors power play line of Linseman, Allen and Girardi to pump in three goals. Linseman walked away from this weekend with three goals and five assists and now leads the league in points. The two wins over Laurentian were important victories. However, Laurentian lies near the bottom of the pile in the OUAA. The real indicator will come this weekend as Waterloo plays Queen’s Friday night and a very tough York team on Sunday.

Warrior band history to be seen at Naismith half-time by Refton Blair Imprint staff Catch the Spirit is the theme for this year’s Homecoming celebrations. One of the groups who will be throwing that spirit your way, and have been doing SO for two decades, is the Warrior band. Spontaneity and enthusiasm are the reasons for their success
at both home and away games. The Naismith tournament marks the twentieth year of the band once named the Baden and Elmira Beer Hall Boys. They have undergone several namechanges carousing now under the alias University of Waterloo band. The Warriors band is an unofficial member of the Athletic De-
partment. For this years Naismith tournament they will provide a half time show consisting of the history of the band, introduction of former band centurions, the school song and a string of past and present popular songs. For all those interested they will be having a get together on Friday and Saturday night at the Grad House.
