However, 30,000 square feet in the library is much easier to clean than 30,000 square feet in Engineering. Klein says this is not taken into account. As well, management “conveniently forgets” that absenteeism is minimal in some areas and “rampant” in others like E2. Employees on sick <leave are not replaced. Additionally, recent budget cuts have resulted in a two to three per cent reduction in custodial employees. As a result, each person has to do more work Although Brown says management has lowered its standards so employees are doing the same amount of work as before, Klein and Crespo maintain the work loads have increased for each individual. Although UW custodians belong to CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) Local 793, many find the union is ineffective and“‘married to management”. Klein admits that mistrust and misconceptions of the function of a union is a problem. “In most cases, they refuse to believe that they can fight management on equal terms through truth and unity. The lack of command of the ! English language is a major contributor to the problem.” . Klein is not alone in his opinion.

Engine\ers to enter concrete toboggan by Dawn Aggett

Imprint

staff

Bet you thought you’ve done it all - ice skated, snow shoed, down. hilled, cross countried. Ever raced on a concrete toboggan? Ever heard of a concrete toboggan? The 4B Civil Engineers have. In fact, they are cur. rently constructing one of these strange devices for the “Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race,” to be held in Calgary February 27-28. The race is a nationwide, inter-university competition put on by the Civil -Engineering department. The toboggan can be either wood or

metal, but it must run on concrete skis, and weigh no more than 250 pounds. , And how does one transport a 250 lb. concrete toboggan from Water. loo to Calgary? Hopefully, not by a trucking service. Last year’s service fouled up and not one of the three toboggans arrived in time for the competition. Last year’s team persevered, however, and won in the categories of “most spirit,” “best dressed,” and “most promising” they built a make-shift toboggan out of parking blocks. This year, the 4B Civs are hoping to get Air Canada to

help out with the whopping $4,000 transportation cost for the toboggan. The costs don’t stop there however. There are entry fees, uniform purchases, and team accommodations to pay for, to say nothing of the mate.. rials needed to construct and decorate the toboggan. The engineers have been fortunate enough to receive funding from a variety of sour. ces. On campus funding has come from the dean of engineering, Civil Engineering department, and the Engineering Society. The biggest outside corporate sponsor to date is Dufferin Construction Ltd. More corporate sponsors from local businesses are anticipated. _Even so, team chairman Kirk Marble says to*

date they have raised only a third of the approximately $10,000 needed for the competition. To make up the shortfall, the engineers have began some fund-raising activities. They are now selling tickets for a $500 VCR. Tickets are %-each,-and three for two dollars. Tickets are available from team members and through the Civ. Eng. department. A pub night in early February at Ricki Jo’s will be another fund-raising event. Donations will be. accepted at the door, and there will be prizes and great music. With the pub matching the amount of donations made, organizers expect the event to be a success. Hosting this year’s competition are last year’s winners from the Southern

race

Alberta Institute of Technology. Two years ago, Waterloo took first place. Markle and team members are confrdent of a repeat performance this year. The two B-stream teams, ‘WATFN-0,” and “WATFIV-0-O”; the A-stream team, “Hip Racing”; and the alumni team, comprising the UW entrants leave for Calgary on the 26th of next month. They certainly deserve to win the award for “most spirit,” being the team with the furthest distance to travel. If you are interested in seeing the toboggan, the team will be taking it for a trial run in the near future. The time and place will be announced as soon as the information becomes available.

Tomorrow (Jan. 24) marks the 15th anniversary of Birthright’ in Kitchener-Waterloo. Birthright is a prolife organization which operates on donations of money, clothing, and equipment. It is an international or. ganization with centres across Canada, the U.S., and parts of Europe. The K-W centre operates with 37 volunteers, 26 of whom are trained as counselors.

The organization is designed to help pregnant women in distress. Volunteers offer support, counselling, and clothing for the mother and child. They focus on the unborn child and give the mother support throughout the pregnancy until the baby is born. Birthright offers free pregnancy tests, and will refer pregnant women to maternity homes and also to doctors and lawyers should a medical problem arise. They give counselling to

pregnant women seeking abortions, but will not refer them to doctors or hospitals. Their philosophy lies with preserving the life of the unborn child. i3ver the past 15 years, the Birthright centre located at 30 Francis St., Kitchener, has counselled 6,671. people over the phone, 1,500 women have been ‘given clothing for themselves or for their babies, and 3,900 women have been counselled in person at the office.

Cal lege stude nts win fight say i n boa rd decisions by Mike O’DriscoII Imprint staff After years of political lobbying and behind-the-scenes negotiations Ontario college students have finally won the right to determine the future of their own institutions. In a joint statement released last week, the Ontario Federation of Students and the ministry of colleges and universities announced a two-year plan designed to give students and staff in the college system full participation and voting rights on their respective boards of governors. Until now all decisions affecting Ontario’s colleges have been made strictly by the administrations, resulting in poor communication and relations between the powers-that-be and faculty and students. While auto cratic governing college boards were *

originally designed to ensure that technical programs met the needs of the job market, the centralized structure left students feeling as if they had little control over their own educations, OFS chairman Matt Certosimo. greeted the development with mixed emotions. Although the agreement marks a victory for college students, he said the two-year phase-in period is unnecessary. The issue has been on the table for 10 years, long enough, Certosimo said, to ensure a smooth transition of power. However, Colleges and Universities Minister Greg Sorbara stands firm on that point, and cites the need to develop clear cut policy and procedures guidelines in what he calls an “evolutionary process.” Following a Jan. 14 meeting with Sorbara, Certosimo said they’ve “agreed to disagree” on that point.

Quick ‘recoveries ’ expkcted in UW.rugby -meningitis outbreak by Mike Brown Impcint staff A full recovery is expected for both UW rugby players who were suddenly hospitalized with an uncommon form of meningitis *last week. The stricken players were among the members of the rugby team who had just returned froma two-week tour of Ireland, England, and Scotland. The 24 year-old inflicted alumnus is alert and now recovering in a fifthfloor K-W hospital room. The 20 year-old,* second-year player who was originally diagnosed as being in “serious condition” by Dr. Gerard Evans, Waterloo Region’s medical officerlbf health, is still delirious but is more alert than before with a full recovery expected. Head coach Mark Harper quoted hospital officials as saying the two cases of a bacterial strain of meningitis called. “meningococcal meningitis” struck incredibly fast. Symptoms of the disease usually take a few hours to hit a stricken person. With the rugby players, however, only 20 to 40 minutes elapsed before a full onset pf meningitis occurred. Both patients suffered through spinal taps; a necessary maneuver to allow doctors to analyze spinal fluid

for traces of the disease. After undergoing two spinal taps, the conscious alumnus said the tests were an incredibly painful experience. The disease can be transmitted through coughs, sneezes or close contact with excretions from the nose and throat. It is most likely that the players came into contact with the disease during their tour in Europe. Apparently, there had been a previous outbreak of meningitis in a part of Scotland which the team visited. The British health agency has been contacted by Canadian officials. There are some players who remained overseas. British officials are attempting to contact these play ers as well as other people who were in contact with the team during the tour so that any traces of meningitis can be treated immediately. In Waterloo, a campus-wide notification has been carried out. The remainder of the team and people who came into contact with the infected players were vaccinated. The disease seems to have been isolated to the two hospitalized carriers. Symptoms of the disease include fever, vomiting, headaches, and confusion. Anyone displaying these ’ symptoms has been urged to report 1 to a hospital immediately.

.SAC still seeking student aid in fee increase fight

Progress has been slow and sporadic since the issue first came to light. In 1978, Ontario’s Conservative government turned down a bid to give students voting rights, but placed them in an “observers” position. In 1982, guidelines were enacted ensuring students would, be fully informed of all board of governors meetings, and be provided with agendas. Between 1981 and 1983 college students gradually gained more control over student govemment fees. The issue came to a head in the midst of the 1984 college teachers strike when a government appointed analyst concluded that “students are the only ones who care about quality of education.*’ Certosimo said that since the Liberals came to power at Queen’s Park the provincial government has been much more responsive to OFS lobbying efforts. Last spring, Walter Pitman was appointed to determine how to improve the system, and following a meeting with Premier David ,Peterson in March, the OFS was convinced the government was on the side of the students. Finally, in June, Pitman handed down a recommendation to the government in favour of the students. For the next two years, students on the board of governors will perform a strictly advisory function. Ultimately, both students and faculty will each have two representatives on the board, but yet to be worked out are conflict of interest guidelines to ensure integrity is maintained in board votes on faculty salaries and student tuition. Meanwhile, Certosimo said the OFS will be working hard to ensure that the agreement is met in full, and that college students are given the full votinq privileges promised them. - ’ -

As the winter term begins, the cooperative student advisory council * once again commences. All the faculties on campus are ,represented. If you are ‘unaware of ’ who your particular representative is, contact you society offke. If yov are unable to do this, the council meets in Needles Hall every second Tuesday at 430 p.m. in the coordinator’s lounge. lt is estimated the alarming increases in co-op fees will continue until 1989. Fees are projected to, pass the $325 mark Co-ordination

will supply a budget breakdown as soon as possible. If you are interested in getting involved in the coop fee issue, contact Carol Goulette at the Federation of Students office. Her committee regularly meets to discuss this issue, and unlike SAC, .has the power to challenge the university’s policies. SAC can only voice student concerns. Co-ordination ran a single placement run last term, as opposed to a Group 1 and Group 2 run. This allowed more students to cross over for jobs and increased the number of eligible jobs available. This single’-run will be repeated again this term. ,

Free advice from an unabashed Federation watcher, by Steve Kannon Imprint staff Featured in this week’s Imprint are profiles of the candidates vying for the three top spots in the Federation of Students. With few exceptions, the platform statements of the 13 hopefuls are little more than the same boring homilies students have come to expect. While these profiles only serve as an opening to what should be an increasingly more noteworthy campaign period, the each candidate would be wise to begin tackling other issues and establishing a distinctive campaign style. Most beneficial would be a firm stance on the issues each feels are of most importance. . As yet, not one candidate has made the kind of forceful statement that would make students (at least two or three) take notice. Government, student or otherwise, is supposed to be synonymous with power - not the self-serving kind (which is often the case) but the kind that comes with the ambition to make real changes. Only when a politician has developed a recognizable stance d-oes he or she gain wide-spread attention. A politician content to drift with the tide is a politician relegated to secondary (read invisible) status. The most noteworthy of leaders are those who-have set clear goals for their term in office, goals which are tirelessly pursued. This is true on the national scene (Pierre Trudeau - love him or hate him, but never forget him), the provincial scene (Bill Davis - everybody has something say about Brampton Bill) and even on the UW campus (Sonny Flanagan was ever in the shadow of the politically ambitious Tom Allison). Of foremost importance in student politics is the will to wrestle control from an uncaring administration and a desire to return that power to the students, who are the rightful owners. Universities exist to serve the needs of those who attend classes, not those who work there. Administrators, faculty and staff are public employees accountable to the public and to the public’s elected representatives, including student politicians. The Federation has clearly been given the mandate to demand the administration’s compliance on such issues as student housing, course evaluations and incidental fees. The students’ views are well-known and their demands far from unreasonable: so when candidates make namby-pamby commitments to dealing with these issues, they are doing the students a great disservice. ’ Admittedly, there are very few issues of general interest to students; the threat of increased fees seems to be the only catalyst to student action. This reality is all the more reason for Federation executives to possess real leadership abilities - if the elected representatives won’t take up the chalk, lenge, who will‘? . Hopefully the weeks leading up to the-Federation elections will see some, if not all, of the candidates shift their campaigns into overdrive. Politicians are not supposed to be afraid of making a few waves. Just a word of advice (whether you want it or not).

Dyer be-ats out Kissinger every time by Gord Durnin Imprint staff If it wasn’t for Monday’s snowstorm this could have been an absolutely biting, timely comment. As it is, snowfall and all, it will have to stand as a partially biting, timely comment. Gwynne Dyer showed and Henry Kissinc, ger didn’t. The question that was to be asked was, “who got the better deal?” That has to be altered a little since Kissinger won’t be at Western until March 30. The question is, therefore; who will have got the better deal? Needless to say, waiting around for the answer is totally unnecessary. It’s as plain as the establishment values at the other university in question here. We don’t need to delve deeply into the price tag of the two respective featured speakers except to say that Kissinger’s $30,000 is 10 times what Mr. Dyer was asking and he agreed to speak at Guelph too. The real issue, all money aside, is the relevance of each speaker’s message. Dyer stands as a poignant commentator of what is happening in today’s violent world drawing from a vast well of historical understanding and personal experience: witness the WAR series or In Defence of Canada. Kissinger, still obsessed with justifying his “policy’* in South:east Asia, is stuck in his groove, repeating, repeating and repeating what we’ve all heard before and summarily dismissed as nonsense: read anything he’s had to say in the last 10 years. Not to imply that looking at the past is a bad thing, both Dyer and Kissinger do, it’s just that Dyer has a lot more to say about the nature of today’s conflict resolution where Kissinger leaps over the premises to self-indulgent rationalization, It’s a case of one looking out, the other looking in; the academic and the narcissist. Who will have got the better deal? We will have, of course.

Off-term status subject of pub cover charge controversy To the editor, The first thing you should learn at Waterloo is how to line up and pay.

Choice

p&t

lacks substahce reader claims To the editor, Is abortion a scientific problem? Well, pro-choice arguments seem to take a scientific or objective’ appreach. There are however, humanistic answers. I hear people say that forcing a pregnant woman to carry the child to term is putting her through unnecessary emotional trauma, leaving her with a lifelong burden. But a pregnant woman is not a scientific case to be adjusted, she is a human being with all of life’s complexities and hardships, and society should give her room to live, i.e. the necessary support and information she needs. Some may say that an unwanted pregnancy will prevent a woman from succeeding in her career or undo her social life. This makes a career sound like a prede-

termined program that you cannot interrupt without failing. I think that this is a false view and that anyone who really succeeds in life must make some unexpected moves. As for losing social position, there are people who know that a person’s worth does not depend on being acclaimed or even secure, and you can find them if you need them. And people say we should not bring unwanted children into the world. Children are not commodities to be wanted or unwanted, children are people who come into our lives and depend on us, and we need them. They give us hope for the future. Arguments for the pro-choice view sound good, but they lack real substance. Marc Adams Math grad

Is Waterloo the first Pro-Life campus? To the editor, Congratulations University of Waterloo for being the first Pro-Life campus in Canada! An irrational, sweeping and highly idealistic statement? Perhaps, but let me explain the reasoning behind it. Over the past two years Students for Life has been a well-organized but quiet group. Gone are the days of name-calling and heated discussions over pamphlets at our booktable in the Campus Centre. Nowadays our films and speakers are only attended by those who know little or nothing about the abortion issue. . Why this lack of interest? Well, two basic reasons come to mind. The

first is that the students of this university are selfish, apathetic and have no desire to learn the biological facts of Fetology and the procedures of abortion. But that cannot be, for the basic philosophy of a university consists of a genuine respect and quest for knowledge, facts and wisdom. Therefore I can only conclude that on their own, the students have done all the biological and ethical research that is necessary to conclude that abortion is the abrupt ending of the life of a child who is in utero. Is this the case? Please let me know - the silence is eerie. Sarah Donelly 2nd Yr. Philosophy President, Students for Life

Use of plastic plate& is a regresswe step a

I’o the editor, Having recently. arrived at this university, I feel compelled to comment on the food outlets all over campus. It is not the food which prompts me to write, but rather the use of disposable plates, cups and cutlery by these outlets. We read and hear about waste management concerns - where to dispose our mounting garbage. We also know that with the production of Styrofoam, there are some nasty pollution problems created. I realize that the styrofoam dishes

’

and plastic cutlery used on campus are a symptom of our “consumerdisposer” oriented society. Should we not be taking the lead with environmentally sound practices at an institution which boasts a faculty specializing in the study of the environment? Universities should be the germi-. nating grounds for progressive ideas. It would seem to me that the switch to disposable is a regressive step. Monica Schaefer, ERS 3

builder who was literallv policing the door he could only repeat that I didn’t pay fees. The fees I paid in the fall may cover my medical insurance, use of the PAC facility and the library, but not Fed Hall. In my understanding the $1 cover was established at Fed Hall to cover students who refused to pay their Fed m:mR,ev’eSh,‘b9:refused to pay I’m not required to at present. Strangely though, 1 and many other people I know have frequented Fed Hall during workterms in the pas&d have never encountered this problem. It seems that on January 17 someone in the federation made a poor decision. He or she decided to discriminate against co-op students who happen to be visiting or who live in Waterloo. All 1 cai hope is that those fee-paying Feds who “aren’t paying fees” will join me in making their disgust known when those responsible campaign to be re-elected. Ann Marie Predko 3B English Co-op

Last call 1s a pretty poor first priority To the editor, I am writing in response to “Last Call” in last week’s Imprint. When I think of priorities, Last Call at the Bombshelter is not at the top of my list. It would seem to me that someone who lives for his last beer at the Bombshelter should listen attentively to what groups such as BACCHUS have to say about responsible drinking. Drinking behaviours should be a top priority at this university but not in the sense that Mr. Kostenuik suggests. Hopefully, with the fullfledged chapter of BACCHUS “Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students” - that is being implemented this term, we will all become aware of the more serious problems with alcohol and perhaps do something more constructive than “enforcing” last call. Lisa Di Florio Health Studies 2B

Responsible drinking l To the editor, The goals of BACCH US are laudable and have a siren appeal. Most feel that excessive drinking and its effects are undesirable. Their goal of teaching “responsible drinking” has a universal appeal which may help some, but is condemning others. In 1939, a widely accepted work was published which stated - in chapter 3, paragraph 1 - “The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death.” The title of this work is Alcoholics Anonymous. Food for thought. Don McGill Yr-4 Arts

The first objective to remember is that you are selling ‘a very valuable product: yourself. This sale can only be :successful if you have done a self-assessment of your jskills and goals. It is imperative that during your interview you are assertive in demonstrating that the skills you possess would be beneficial to the prospective employer. A second important aspect of a good interview is ,being knowledgeable about the company/ organization. Its history, employee policies and structural characteristics should be thoroughly researched previous to the interview. This research can be done through personal interviews/contacts or also at the Career Information Centre which is located on the first floor of ’ Needles Hall. Knowledge about the organization assures the employer that you are organized, interested, and well-prepared for the interview. He/she may even quiz you a little on the company. During the interview there are many factors that must be considered; mental attitude, body language and

DRESSING FOR SUCCESS.

Sure it’s great to be in college and sit around and eat pizza, but someday you’re going to need a job. But first you have to get the job. Which means first you have to get an interview. And once you get that, what are you gaing to wear to it? .If you dress up too nicely, they’re going to think, hey, look at his clothes, why does he need a job? And if you d&s too sloppy, they’ll think, hey, why should I hire someone who dresses like a bum? But just in case ihey do hire you, wHat are you going to wear to the job? I mean, you won’t have money right away to buy new clothes. So maybe you can wear what you wore to the interview.. . the first day on the job. Then you’ll have to give the suit back to the friend you borrowed it from. So.. . what are you going ,to wear the second day? Maybe you should just stay in college for a while longer. At least there you can get 2 for 1 pizza at Little Caesars. (Tip: put it on your . resume.

The important distinction between the psychic surgeons, the topic of a previous column, and the religious faith healers, this week’s targets, lies in the significantly differing claims of the latter group. The first (and best-known) claim of the faith healers is that their healing power is not a psychic phenomenon, but is a gift from God. The second, less well-known claim is that the healer receives information from God which allows him to “call out” members of the audience, identifying them by name and accurately describing their ailments. This is an important part of faith-healing rituals since the calling out is easier than the actual healing, while at the same time being at least as impressive to the audience. How this is done, and who does it, was the subject of an article by magician/debunker James Randi in a recent issue of Penthouse magazine. In the article, Randi discusses the techniques used by healers Peter Popoff, W.V. Grant and others. In most cases, getting the information is easy - attendees may fill out “prayer cards” at the door, or associates of the healer may circulate among the crowd collecting it. Randi reports that Grant collected the information personally and could remember up to 30 case histories. Based on the epormous amount of information that Popoff called out, however, it was apparent that he was using a more sophisticated technique. After some sleuthing, Randi and an associate verified that Popoffs wife was passing information from prayer’ cards to her husband via an electronic communicator disguised as Popoff s hearing aid. _When confronted, Popoff eventually admitted that his wife “occasionally” gave him the name of someone to pray for. Another impressive gimmick

physical appearance. A few helpful hints are as follows: a) Dress neatly and conservatively. b) Keep eye contact with the interviewer. c) Answer questions briefly and concisely. d) Prevent nervous habits. eg. saying “urn”. e) Keep an open, friendly yet business-like posture which is confident and relaxed. f) Listen carefully to the questions. At the concluding segment of the interview most employers are open for questions. Always try to prepare questions before the interview or ask questions concerning something mentioned during the interview. For example, “what are your training programs?’ or “what are typical career paths that evolve from the entry position?’ Be careful, however, not to be too assertive or anxious. Never ask about salary unless the subject is mentioned by the interviewer.

‘Prepare

questions

before

the interview

In summary, you should approach an interview with 1) a professional attitude, 2) an indication that you know something about the company, 3) a clear idea of what you want to do, and 4) a sales pitch. Finally, at the end,of the interview, thank the interviewer, smile, and discuss when you will hear from him/ her again. Also it is considerate to send a thank you letter after your interview. Good luck and happy job hunting! For further hints on improving your interview skills, contact the Student Vocational Advisor in your faculty or attend interview skills workshops presented by the Career Services staff.

Keeping used by faith healers is to raise supposed invalids from their wheelchairs, a sure-fire crowd pleaser. At one of Grant’s revivals, hbwever, Randi noticed that “. . . Grant never summoned from a wheelchair any person who had customized the device. . ‘6 -in other words, anyone who had genuine need of a chair and who spent a major part of their life in the chair. Instead, “ . . . almost all of those who rose up healed did so from a particular color, model and make of wheelchair,” the same model, in fact, the was displayed prominently in Grant’s promotional literature. Randi later discovered that many of the “healed” had arrived at the revival under their ,own power and had been ordered into waiting wheelchairs by ushers, to be miraculously revived later, Many of these people left the meeting understandably angry and bitter, some having come great distances to be cured, while others were forced to buy new canes to replace those broken dramatically by Grant after a supposed healing. Another popular figure who has a history of faith healing is evangelist Oral Roberts, currently in the news for threatening to hold his breath until he turns blue unless his followers send him five million dollars. Author Martin Gardner writes that Roberts has been responsible for his own share of tragedies due to his faith healing, including a diabetic woman who threw away her insulin after she was “healed” and promptly died. Of course, it isn’t necessary to subject yourself to the self-abuse of Sunday morning televangelism to get a good dose of faith healing. You can simply watch for the occasional flyer generated by a local group called the Maranatha Christian Fellowship, who were responsible for a one-page \ promotion extolling the virtues of one Henry Russel, a faith healer of some talent according to the list of medical miracles he

the faith is apparently capable of. The tone of the flyer made it fairly clear (at least to this columnist) that the folks at Maranatha take Mr. Russel seriously indeed, which raises a couple of interesting questions. It would be hard to believe th t, given their apparent belief‘ in rhealers like Russel, the Maranathas would not be aware of the controversy surrounding other healers like Peter Popoff. If they have somehow managed to remain blissfully ignorant of Popoff, would this new knowledge make them somewhat more skeptical? On the other hand, if they are well acquainted with the unfavorable reviews concerning Popoff’s integrity, one then wonders what criteria they use to distinguish between a cheap huckster like Popoff and someone they consider the real McCoy, such as Russel. Given the. damage that phony faith healers are capable of, it is outrageous that the legal system is essentially powerless to prevent the flagrant abuse of trust that allows people like Popoff to convince members of his audience to throw their -prescription medication up on stage, medication such as nitroglycerin tablets and digitalis compounds without which they may very well die. A healer who convinces a diabetic that she no longer needs her insulin apparently cannot be held responsible for the inevitable tragic results, while a licensed M.D. who tried the same stunt would most likely be locked up so deep, sunlight would have to be piped down to him. Since the general public can expect little help from the government in the way of protection, is it just a matter of time until someone decides that the only way to deal with these people is to drive them out of town with the business end of an electric cattle prod? Given the faith healers’ current track record, we may not have long to wait.

Campus Question Municip% campaign on tritium During 1987, Ontario Hydro hopes to begin offering millions of dollars worth of a radioactive form of hydrogen called tritium for sale on the international market. Canadian CANDU reactors produce large quantities of tritium. Tritium needs to be removed from the reactors to reduce levels of human exposure and environmental contamination. However, Ontario Hydro plans to build only one tritium removal facility to be located at the Darlington nuclear power plant near Oshawa, Ontario. Tritiated water must, therefore, be transported from the Bruce and Pickering reactors to Darlington for treatment. On October 16, Ontario Hydro held a press conference in Pickering to unveil their new giant shipping flask for the transport of tritiated heavy water. The giant flask contains 4,900 litres and is carried on a flatbed tractor-trailer truck. Environmentalists are concerned about potential tritium spills which could endanger the people in the communities along the transport routes. As little as one-twentieth of a gram of pure tritium in the body will result in death within six hours and one-billionth of a gram in the body has the potential to cause cancer. A single traffic accident could result in the poisoning of large parts of Ontario, according to the Stop Darlington ImmediateI-y coalition. Over the coming months, peace activists and environmentalists around Ontario will be approaching their municipal councils asking that tritium-contaminated heavy water not be transported through their communities. They will also be asking that the provincial government order Ontario Hydro to build separate tritium removal facilities at Pickering and Bruce, thereby eliminating the need to transport tritiated water. A second concern involves domestic, commercial and foreign sales of tritium. Tritium sales are being opposed for health and safety reasons and because there is a danger that tritium will contribute to the nuclear arms. race. Tritium, plutonium and enriched uranium are key strategic materials that fuel nuclear weapons. Tritium

decays at a rate of 5.5 per cent per year, and a halt of tritium production would rapidly cripple the nuclear arsenals of the world. The tritium that Hydro plans to produce will far exceed the western world’s present requirements for all civilian projects. Ontario Hydro claims that tritium will be sold only for civilian fusion research or for commercial purposes. According to Norman Rubin of Energy Probe, the first full year of output should yield about four kilograms (9 pounds) of purified tritium --- as much as the entire U.S. military used in 1980 and about 10 times today’s total civilian use worldwide. Rear Admiral (Ret.) E.J. Carroll of the Washingtonbased Centre for Defence lnformation warns that tritium exports would add to the U.S. arsenal. In his view, Canadian tritium sales would unavoidably help the U.S. military, particularly since the U.S. “is engaged in the production of 1,500 nuclear weapons a year and has a shortage of tritium to meet weapons goals”. Even if Canada’s tritium goes only to civilian customers -who are now supplied by the U.S. military - it will free up the military’s reactors to produce either more tritium or plutonium, the other key bomb ingredient. Ontario Hydro has cleared the first hurdle in its plans . to export triti’um. In March 1986, the Mulroney govern- ’ ment issued guidelines which approved tritium exports and did not make tritium a substance subject to safeguarding like plutonium. The guidelines allow the sale of tritium to countries that have not signed the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Recognizing the seriousness of this issue, WPl RG will be forming a tritium work-group in order to educ cate and inform both cam.pus and community members. Reading materials are available in the WPIRG resource centre. For information on the W Pl RG work-group or on other local actions concerning tritium transportation and sale, contact Bev Nuttall at W PlRG, 884-9020.

Chemical infestation inevitable by

Kathy

Marsman

They’re coming to get you! You can’t escape them: They’re in your water, your breakfast, your lunch, your dinner and your midnight snack! They are chemicals. What to they do’? Why are they there? How do you pronounce them? North American society is super-saturated with these food preserving and food enhancing substances. The main chemicals we consume regularly can be categorized under the broad headings of dyes, pesticides, antibiotics, flavour enhancers - and preserving agents. Nothing gets included in a retail product until it is passed as a legal food additive by the rninistry of health. Two methods of testing a product are accepted by the board. Testing on animal subjects and previous use by human subjects without adverse effects. These methods do not safeguard against a harmful chemical being approved since chemicals tested on animals may show different effects on humans, and human subjects may show long term effects developed over longer periods or in less apparent ways than in the original tests showed. Research-is improving, but history has shown that mistakes can and will be made. Many people tend to accept these additives. This is a logical alternative, so it would seem - accept what YOU can not change, right? Often, we fail to see the ways in which we do have control over the situation. Organitally grown foods are grown without pesticides and 1., I I I ~J?._.r

fungicides, and are widely available in health food stores. Always washing your fresh produce will wash away the surface sprayed pesticides, which comprise about 60 per cent of the chemicals that reach the fresh produce we eat. Reading labels can be a very enlightening experience. We are offered alternatives at every turn. We have peanut butter with chemicals and peanut butter with- ’ out. There is bread that contains no preservatives, and many people find this bread tastes a lot better. It is wideiy‘available in most grocery stores. Breakfast cereals containing BHT can-be exchanged for granola or hot cereals without BHT. Skim milk products and using margarine over butter can avoid the chemicals that have accumulated in the butter fat. A high concentration of antibiotics and hormones can be found here. Cutting down on meat products avoids these antibiotics and hormones as well as nitrites and dyes added to meat, especially lunch meats. Canned foods list ingredients on the side of the can, and often competing companies do not use the same chemicals, and some don’t use any. Supporting companies that use less chemical preservatives is a step in the right direct ion. Being more aware of what goes into your body is certain to have beneficial effects in the long run. lt also gives you a psychological advantage of thinking healthy and knowing you are avoiding those substances YOU can’t pronounce. . < ’ *,., , .

Waterloo engineers help to organize solar race. - s \ The University of Waterloo is helping to organize the upcoming Great Canadian Solar Race to be held on the Victoria Day weekend (May 16-18) at Toronto’s Ontario Place. This annual event is sponsored by the Solar Energy Society of Canada Inc. (SESCI) with support from various groups in the solar energy field. The one-day competition is open and university to college (undergraduate and graduate) students across Canada. There are two separate competitions being planned. The traditional thermosyphon event requires the building of a thermosyphon (no pump) solar hot water heating system. Points are awarded for the design, aethetics, j durability, cost and performance. A. number of water draws will be made during the course of the day and highest temperatures will determine the best performing system. The second event is a photovoltaic (PV) water-pumping competition. The object is to use solar cell panels (supplied by the organizers if enough schools are interested) to pump the largest volume of water from Lake Ontario 27 metres to the roof of one of the buildings at Ontario Place. Points are also awarded for the cost, aesthetics and durability of the system. Total prizes for the winners will be valued at $1,000 and include memberships in SESCI.

A concurrent high school hot dog cooking contest and PV-powered remotecontrolled model car race are also being planned.

Interested students can I’ obtain entry forms and information by contacting the mechanical engineering department.

I’ll tell you it’s not fair and it’s not right, but please don’t use my name.” The two jobs were commonly referred to as “men’s” and “women’s” jobs until about two years ago. Even now, people aren’t sure ‘what to call them. The only difference besides the rate of pay is that the Cl has to polish the floors using a heavy machine, lift bags of garbage and climb up on ladders occasionally. According to Director of Personnel Lloyd Brown, “the C2 is lighter cleaning duties . . . dusting, wiping desks, things like that. The male . . . the Custodian 1 have to push those heavy machines around.” When asked why there were substantially more female than male C2s, Brown replied “It’s just simple statistics. The men are bigger and stronger than the women so the women take the

lighter job.” Some female employees have complained that fewer and fewer women are now being hired in the C2 position. They say this is because the management does not want to have to later promote th$m to Cl positions. Mustin, supervisor for the custodial section, said traditionally the jobs were thought of as male and female but that the C2 is now an “entry job”. “Every full time person starts as a C2. A certain percentage of those are men. We have to hire people who will be able to do the heavier job later on.” It is not just women who are corn plaining about the system. G Klein, former union president and currently a Cl claims that “in many circumstances, the C2 workis just as demanding physically as the Cl .” Union steward and lead hand Hernan Crespo agrees with Klein. Asked if the Cl job was harder than the C2 he replied: “Personally, I don’t believe

tor of plant operations, said seniority is the, main consideration. However, Brown said competence is considered first, but if two employees are equal in ability, seniority governs the \ decision. The union agreement states in article 7 (7) that In promotions, demo tions, layoffs, recalls, and lateral transfers from one classification to another having the same rate of pay, the following factors shall be considered: a)seniority . . . b)knowledge, efficiency, and ability . . . “ lt adds that “When factor (b) is relatively equal, factor (a) shall govern.‘: Klein points out, however, that the promotion from C2 to Cl involves a pay rate change so the clause is not applicable. “The union has not been able to change this misleading clause in the last four years.” While the subclause “having the same rate of pay” clearly is a modifier only for “lateral transfers” and not promotions and demotions, which must involve a change in pay rate, university management has selectively interpreted it according to its own whims. In November of 1986, a female custodian with the Sault Ste. Marie Board of Education won a $14,000 settlement from the school board and CUPE after she failed to get a custodial job that traditionally went to men. She too claimed her union had failed to represent her at the time. University officials have denied any knowledge of the Human Rights Commission complaints. They also deny any sexual discrimination or punishment of custodial staff who apply for promotions, or register complaints.

so. Other women do it. The machine, it moves itself really. You only have to guide it.” Sherry Pietrzyck, union secretarytreasurer and custodial lead hand, said she thinks the management is “right in some of their ways.” She said “some of the women who apply for Cl think it’s an easier job. It’s not, really, and when they find out how much work it is they can’t handle it.” Pietrzyck agrees, however, that women are capable of doing Cl work. She has female Cl s working under her. She insists that if someone has a problem he or she should approach the union first. Bestic approached the human rights commission because she did not feel the union was helping her. Many employees feel the same way, claiming their union, Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 793, is ineffective and easily controlled by the management. Brown insists the union is there to protect the rights of the employees and cites a lack of activity at all meetings as one reason why people do not know how to use it to their advantage. The lack of attendance at union meetings is of concern to stewards Pietrzyck and Crespo as well. “When people blame the union, what they don’t realize is that they are blaming themselves,” said Crespo, who doesn’t deny that there are serious problems between management and employees. (See story Page 3) There appears to be some confusion over whether seniority or competence is the prime factor involved when considering promoting someone. Rudy Molinary, assistant direc-

Exercises such as this should assist OFS members in forcing the government to work for the students of Ontario, he said. Other major issues on the agenda included the role of CFS (Canadian Federation of Students) members in provincial education, policy development for international students, and accessibility through adequate funding. According to Certosimo the latter issue is part of a larger campaign to shift focus on the funding issue from “quality in education” to “accessibility to education.” He said the accessibilitv asbect has been nealected in the’&{ and needs to be gddressed more closely both in the OFS and the media.

Mitchell

- pres/Ro.thwell.-

Ian Mitchell, a fourth-year Economics student and experienced member of the Federation of Students executive is running for president in the upcoming Federation election. Mitchell has been the chairperson of the Board of Communication, and is currently chairperson of the Board of External Liaison. Mitchell is also an Arts student senator and a student representative on UWs board of governors. Mitchell’s most notable accomplishment, and the one he says he is most proud of, was leading the fight that eventually defeated the computer fees. Mitchell says he sees his fight to end computer fees, his organization of the Winter ‘86 underfunding protest ,march, and his current involvement in the university underfunding issue as demonstrative of his commitment to students and their causes. Running along with Mitchell, for the position of v-p - university affairs, is Allan Rothwell a fourth-year Urban and Regional Planning Student. Rothwell’s many university activities include: Village II - residents council; VI - South Quad v-p.; Planning student class rep 1983-86, and varsity football player and captain. Rothwell was also spokesman for Planning Students for Safety. The group, composed of Waterloo planning students made a presentation to Kitchener city council about the quality of safety in the city following the stabbing death of a fellow planning student in Victoria Park. Mitchell and Rothwell say their candidacy is based on improving the quality of student life and striving for the highest quality of education for the students. Their campaign sees improving the quality of student life as threefold: solving student housing problems; upgrading- student facilities on campus and dealing with women’s issues. With regard to the issue of housing Mitchell and Rothwell are adamant that the townhouse project go through and they pledged to push the administration to this end. They also suggest integrating sources of housing information into a computerized housing system to provide rental information to students in K-W and coop cities such as Toronto and Ottawa. With respect to upgrading campus facilities, Rothwell says the overcrowding problems at the PAC need resolving. Mitchell says the basement of the Campus Centre should be expanded to allow for more facilities. Both Rothwell and Mitchell say more of the university’s funding, much of which has been created by student protests and input, should be directed toward student activities. The pairs third item under quality of student life is women’s issues. Rothwell said that his involvement with the safety committee allowed him to see the importance of women’s safety, both in K-W and around campus and one of their campaign promises is to push the administration to increase lighting and security around campus. The

With respect to increasing the quality of education the two have suggested: continued lobbying through OFS and CFS for increased university funding, reducing, coop fees, so co-op is ‘accessible to all, publishing course evaluations, and enhancing education ’ outside the classroom through events such as, plays or films bn areas of concern such as AlDS or apartheid. Most of all, Mitchell and Rothwell stress they are “Students Serving Students”, and that much of their time if elected would be devoted to serving the students, increasing their involvement in the Federation of Stu: dents and listening to their suggestions and coinplaints. To that end, Mitchell says that if Imprint okayed it, he would like to have a weekly ‘ President’s Column” in which he could

Dave Cameron, a fourth-year Political Science student, is one of five candidates for the position of vicepresident - university affairs. Cameron’s Federation of Stu,dents experience includes being chairman of the Board of Academic Affairs. He is the student representative on the committee on student owned co’mputers and a former president of the Renison College student council. Two issues that Cameron says he would address as v-p are coop fee increases and the compulsory purchase of personal computers. He says the proposed increases in co-op fees can be stopped by applying pressure to both the University of Waterloo administration and the provincial government. Cameron syas the government does not really understand the purpose of coop fees, and he would like to clarify the status of the fees with respect to regular tui-

tion. Along with co-op fee increases, the requirement to purchase personal computers could make a Waterloo education much more expensive than it already is. Cameron says he would like to see co-operation between the administration and students in this area in order to take advantage of high volume price discounts. Other areas which Cameron is looking to deal with if elected vicepresident - university affairs are the proposed Federation course evaluations, the fraternity committee, and the cult awareness committee. He states that Federation experience is essential in dealing with these-issues and that he can bring a great deal of such experience to the position he seeks &-me after the February elections.

Dave Cameron

his vice-president - university affairs running mate, Lipton identifies three key policy areas of major importance to the students: underfunding, housing and school “spirit”.’ Stating that “it is important to maintain high quality and affordable education”, Lipton says he plans to alleviate university underfunding at Waterloo by working with the UW administration toward greater alumni and private sector contributions, as well as to continue a strong government lobby. Tied in with this is Lipton’s intention to increase the accountability of the UW administration vis-a-vis . students’ money, especially with regard to the co-op program. “Students must have greater information as to where their money is going”, Lipton says, ‘both within each faculty and in the coop programme. The administration must show us the need for more money before ‘we’re prepared to pay the -~ higher fees they’re asking of us.” On the housing issue, Lipton says he would not approve the townhouse project on.

The operation of Fed Hall has been the topic of much discussion, mainly concerning the cost of running the place, says operations and finance candidate Morden. Fed Hall is too expensive, both to visit and to operate, he says. Prices could be lowered at the bar by “channeling some of the profits off other (Fed services) to pay for Fed Hall,” says Morden.

Carlton president

by Gord Dumin Imprint staff Fiscal responsibilty is the focus of Andrew Aboucheis campaign for vice-president - operations and finance. This stems from his focus on the long-term future of the Federation and coming administration. “Right now the Federation is in some lean years. This is due to the 8 costs of Fed Hall,” says Aboucher. “That is not to say Fed Hall was a bad choice. It is just that it drains funds.” Aboucher expresses concern about the current Fed debt, saying that restraint is in order for spending in the near future. “Every 1 per cent that interest oes up costs the Federation f+16,000 per annum. No one likes to hear that they can’t spend, but it has to come from somewhere,” he said. “A line has-to be drawn on expenditure.” Aboucher says he wants to establish a precedent at the Federation by organizing a long-term financial perspective. “I recognize that any perspective I may introduce could be change in the future, but the idea of long-term planning is important,” he says.

Aboucher

As far as ideas for operations go, Aboucher is looking into expanding the Fed bus service both in destinations and volume. He is also interested in seeing campus pubs become more appealing and having Fed Hall used for alternative activities such as the fashion show held last year. Aboucher, a 3B Mechanical Engineering student, has had experience operating a snow removal contracting business in Toronto and is augmenting his Engineering degree with a minor in Economics. Aboucher is not running with any of the other candidates. Asked why people should vote for him, he responded: “I would vote for myself because I am competent and have had a certain amount of experience. I ap preach the job with a certain amount of responsibility - responsibility for those who come’after me.

are a stabilizing influence, and they are involved in student activities they foster school spirit. By recognizing them, the university would gain a degree of control over them and thus minimize problems as have occurred in the U.S.” Other projects Carmichael would like to see implemented include the completion a course evaluation handbook and the institution of a campus-wide Reading Week.

Ted Carlton by Mike Brown Imprint staff Ted Canton is a candidate for president of the Federation of Students. The 3B Systems Design student has been involved with the Federation of Students for two years. He spent two years on the Federation council as one of the engineering reps; for one year he served on the Federation board of directors; and last summer he was the co-ordinator of a Federation conference on underfunding. Carlton says he is concerned with several issues in his campaign: student life, co-op fees, university funding, student housing, fraternities, course evaluations, entertainment, and athletics. Student life tops Carlton’s agenda., He says a greater campus-wide invol- i vement in big events must be generated. The university’s three major events, Homecoming, Winterfest, and Canada Day, lack continuity from year ‘to year, says Canton. The presidential candidate stresses his desire to start bringing the diverse groups on campus together. Hiring a full-time event co-ordinator is one way that he says would improve the situation. Other important aspects of student life central to Carlton’s campaign are improving communication to the students about the Federation’s role, ,bringing co-op students more into the main stream of,campus life through enhanced correspondence, and ridding Waterloo of its apathetic stigma by increasing the student awareness of the university’s extra-curricular activities. Co-op fees are an issue central to Carlton’s campaign. He says $400 co-op fees are right around the corner. The administration’s formula for determining the fee requires some investigation by an impartial committee, Carlton says. “The administration is not being upfront with co-opers”. He says he endorses the idea of co-op students supporting their system, but says they are over

compensating for the costs of a cooperative education. Canton also says he would like to see co-op evaluations published to provide potential applicants with the opportunity to see what jobs are really like. As far as university funding is concerned, Carlton says he is keen on working closely with the Ontario Federation of Students in their lobbying efforts. The engineering student says students are a political force; however, pressure must be exerted on “the average citizen” in the community so that they in turn put added pressure on local Mpps to urge the government to act. ln regards to student housing, Canton maintains that the Norht Campus townhouse project must meet its completion date. He adds that the president and vice-president have to be active in the housing issue. Carlton expressed skeptical views of fraternities at Waterloo. He says that despite fraternity’s good intentions, the Federation of Students should not get into the business of recognizing this “American institution”. Carlton attributed issues of discrimination, and elitism as further grounds for abandoning frats. Briefly, Carlton says that more harm than good would come out of publishing course evaluations, entertainment at Waterloo should cater to different groups with the Bombshelter as an alternative entertainment centre, and that UWs athletic facilities require a facelift.

Parachute Club’ finally arrives After being thwarted on Monday night by the snowstorm, Parachute Club dropped into town on Tuesday night in support of their new LP Small Victories. The LP, which was produced by John Oates, marks the first time that The Parachute Club have had a strong North America-wide promotional push which may or may not have something to do with Oates’ involvement. This time out, the group was without longtime member, Julie Masi, who has left the band (“on friendly terms”, accordLot-rave

ing to lead singer Lorraine Segato) to pursue a solo career. In Masi’s absence, Rachael Walker has taken over backing vocal chores while Lauri Conger has as sumed the role of keyboard player that Masi occupied. During 4he concert, The Parachute Club ran through material from the new LP along with old favorites like the almost-hit Rise Up and a reworked Feet of The Moon d showing that the band isn’t con, tent to rest on past achievements.

Hip Happenings Whew! After a glancing blow to our credibility (no, The Dundrells did not, in fact, show up at Level 21 last Saturday as we sort of thought they might) last week, we’re only gonna tell you about SURE things this week. Topping the list of crucial goingson is CKMS’ presentation of Errol1 Blackwood and The Gayap Rhythm Drummers Sunday night at 8:00 at The Princess Cinema. Errol1 used to be the force behind Messenjah’s best music and is now making a name for himself with the rootsy reggae sounds of his great EP, Chant Chant. Don’t know a whole lot about The Drummers except that they’re a T.O. band blending West Indian, African, and North American styles making their first local appearance. As they say in the World .Wrestling Federation, don’t you dare miss it. On Friday and Saturday, The Princess (don’t these guys ever sleep?) is also presenting the K-W premiere of Sherman’s March. Read the preview somewhere in this week’s Arts section. You also won’t want to miss this year’s incarnation of FASS, the annual comedy/revue/farce of university of life produced written, and acted by Faculty, Administration, Staff, and Students. It always garners raves, and this year should be no exception as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. Tickets for A Touch of FASS are $4.50 and available at Humanities Box Office or BASS. The shows are at Theatre of the Arts in Modern Languages and run from Thurs. Jan. 29 to Sat. Jan. 31 and Wed. Feb. 4 to Sat. Feb. 7. All shows are at 8:00 and you better get your tickets in a hurry cuz they’ll go like crrraazy. And just as a teaser until we do a full-scale preview next week, the infamous Dr. Stanley Fogel, who is known to teach English at St. Jerome’s in his spare time, will be moderating Lacanference from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31 at Siegfried Hall in St. Jerome’s. A conference on the famed deconstructionist critic, Jacques Lacan. If seminars aren’t yer thing, go upstairs at the Kent Hotel at 8 p.m. on the 31st for music, booze, a decadent party atmosphere, and readings by St. Jerome’s’ own literary celebrities, Eric McCormack and Sean Virgo.

The 3rd quarter by Pete Lawson Imprint staff Though the program; Focus On Beethoven - His Generation, sparsely contained the fiunder of the king of the scowled brow, the evening was a musical feast on the nights January 13 and 14. A trimmed Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra (about 30 players) presented the music of Rossini, Beethoven, Berlioz, Quesnel/Ridout, and Worzichek at the Theatre of the Arts with the gallivanting Peter McCoppin as guest conductor. After gaining its wings with the Overture to the Barber of Seville by ‘Gioacchini Rossini (1792-1868), the orchestra disassembled into a small, unusual ensemble of two horns, two bassoons, two oboes, and two clarinets for the performance of the lesser, known Beethoven work Rondino, Opus 146. The young Beethoven (1770-1827) wrote this octet sometime in the 1780’s and the music reflects Beethoven’s reverence for Mozart and Haydn. The music is light, probably dedicated to be

dinner music, but the small ensemble format places a nervy challenge to the wind players who disperse solos throughout the piece. The octet from the KWSO delivered a well-tempered performance, especially James Mason (oboe) and Victor Sawa (clarinet). Though a good second half was still to come, Les Nuits d’ete, Opus 7 by Hector Berlioz (1809- 1869) shone as the evening’s brightest star. This song cycle (the first orchestrated song cycle) sets six French poems, Villanelle, Le Spectre de la rose, Sur la lagunes, L’Absence, Au Cimetiere, and L’Ile inconnue, by Theophile Gautier to enraptured tones. These poems are not directly connected but express hope, despair, and again hope; desperate Romantic sentiments. The soloist for the six songs was Canadian mezzo-soprano Catherine Robbin, a soloist who has seen action in K-W ‘in recent years. Her voice produces golden tones throughout her range and she used

Gardner

her talents to convey both beauty of tone and trembling emotion. Though Ms. Robbin gave a grand performance, the soloist cannot steal alT of the accolades. Cer?:ainly Berlioz must be credited for providing such tones with which a soloist can bleed out pathos and passion. The remaining music presented was entertaining but not on the same level as the songs of Berlioz. The Overture to Colas and Colinette (Canada’s first opera - 1780), written by Godfrey Ridout on themes by Joseph Quesnel (17491809), is a spanking little work of music excerpted from light French Y opera. The concluding piece, Symphony in D rriajor by Jan Vaclav Vorisek (1791-1825), is a pleasant work, but not equal to Beethoven’s symphonies, the composer Vorisek most revered. The four part series of Beethoven will conclude with Beethoven Himself on March 24 and 25 at the Theatre of the Arts. The highlights will be the Symphony No. 8 and the Violin Romances.

My original intention was to deconstruct Jadis, ‘Ken Chowder’s third novel. In order to find out just what this would entail I broke the word deconstruction into its components: deconone of the lower ministerial orders in the Church of England; struta modification of the past tense of the verb to stike; followed by a noun ending tion, and an ism for looks. Unfortunately no ministers of the Church were struck in Jadis so I was temporarily at a loss. Thinking perhaps I would have better success with post-modernism I tried a. similar approach. I know that Charles Dickens wrote his novels in serial form and mailed them into magazines, a chapter at a time. I assume this is post-victorianism. I was, however, unable to discover what form the communication between Chowder and his editors took. I feel so totally un-hip, and I know that Jorge Luis “how can I be boring, I’m trendy”

Jadis concerns the adventures of one Edward Lamb,ert, known as “Egg”. His wife, Jadis, leaves him to run away with her figure-skating instructor, and Egg flees his house and home town into - as physically as possible - his past, and the arms of his childhood lover. As Quammie, the. geriatric lover of this woman Tory - observes, Egg is moving backwards along the evolutionary path. He goes so far as to almost drown in the ocean while visiting his mother, but this is the pivotal point in the book and’ Egg reverses his direction and eventually awakens to the true nature of life. It is an uneven book, the utter simplicity of Egg becomes annoying at times and stretches credibility. This is more than made up for by some very poignant moments and an empathetic, portrayal of people, with their faults and love of something secure. Chowder avoids the cynical and the easy target to. write a . moving and engaging novel.

There. isn’t even a single discussion about literary theory in the entire book, although there are a few puns.

Groups like The Icicle Works and The Dream Syndicate made significant inroads toward mass-marketing rehashed sounds of San Francisco circa 1967 in the early part of the decade .and before you could say, “What- a trip, maan,” reprehensible clods with an itchy palm and an ear for a gimmick like Dr. & The Medics and The Cult were riding the bandwagon to success with love-beads, Spinal Tapstyle videos, chauffeur-driven limos, and hit songs about buying the world and losing your soul. Scotland’s The Shamen are as regressive as music gets, the only hint that this four-tracker gives of belonging to 1986 being the sheen of 1980’s hi-tech production.

The best part of psychedelia was always the attention to building a densely moody, entrancing music and it is this on which The Shamen concentrate.

A Strange Day’s Dream is the most unapologetically psychedelic of the set replete with mysticism, sitar-simulating guitar, and distant, portentous vocals which hover over a perfectly structured song.

REM has a mystery in their sound, The Smithereens have nothing beyond melody to give them appeal. A few of the album’s cuts (on the second side) have enough punch and melody to render them as catchy pop tunes.

As far as I know, People of The World is Spear’s first LP for Los Angeles-based Slash Records. If this is the case then it’s also the first reggae LP on Slash, who are better known for the great rock ‘n’ roll bands who have been on their roster, including The Violent Femmes, X, The Blasters and Los Lobos. Thankfully, Slash have left Burning Spear alone, to record the LP at the one-and-only Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica.

from the laid-back skank of the title track and adds an uncharacteristic grinding guitar solo - feels unencumbered by all the extra sweat. Winston Rodney, while focusing in on the usual Rastafari themes of Jah Love, peace and unity, has managed to shed the “ganja” imagery

crafted a fine reggae LP - that’s nothing new. However, People of The World has integrated some rock elements without detracting

groove of laid-back music and lyrics which are all slight rewoqkings of the “girl-done-guy-wrong” and “guydone-girl-wrong” blues themes (possibly, the only blues themes). The ballads lack the intensity and conviction needed to make these cliches seem believable.

by Paul Done Imprint q.taff One of the great drawbacks. of seeing a performer live before you ever hear their records is that, often, no matter how good the LP, it doesn’t match the live show. This dilemma is especially acute for blues, which is in essence a live genre. In the case of Robert Cray, I had seen him twice before I ever heard Bad Influence, or False Accusations: his second and third LPs. And predictably, they didn’t have the same power or immediacy that his live shows had. The grittiness of these two LPs kept Robert Cray, who was being roundly praised by critics out of the mainstream, from achieving the kind of widespread notoriety that the praise seemed to merit. Now, with the. backing of a big record company like Polygram he seems set to make a leap into the big time. Unfortunately this, his fourth LP is a fairly lacklustre effort. .

man or beast, this one’s okay. The new Style Council single which is wrapped inside the picture of Paul’s haircut is a teaser for the upcoming double EP set (of which one EP has been remixed by The Valentine Brothers and the other by soul legend Curtis Mayfield). The two songs on the single, It Didn’t Matter and All Year Round are two of The Valentine Brothers’ remixes.

All the elements which make up Burning Spear’s crucial mixture are in fine form on People of The World: Winston Rodney’s nasal tenor is in brilliant, clear form; the riddims are solid while the all-girl horn-section is crisp and punchy. Even Seville Land - when Spear bumps the pace up a few notches

These tepid, cliched sentiments are a greater letdown considering the fact that Robert Cray had begun to escape the stert?otype of blues while maintaining the essential simplicity which lies at the core of great blues. Older material like the rousing March On, which managed to be anthemic, without the pompdsity and singularity which that word implies. For this LP, Cray chose a slicker, better produced sound and trappings of soul music like horns. Sadly, the horn arrangements are dull and uninspired, thus wasting the superb Andrew Love and Wayne Jackson who make up the Memphis Horns. T,he instrumentation on Strong Persuader is left dangling in the precipice between blues and soul - lacking the direct 12-bar forceful&s of the former and devoid of the subtlety and nuance of the latter. Despite the high praise that Strbng Persuader has been getting of late, it is really several notches below Robert Cray’s immense potential. At first it may seem great, however anyone who has seen him live will realize that it is a mere shadbw of what it could have ,been. * -Robert Cray may be the iaviour of the blues; but if that means more boogie records by Lonnie Mack, Roy Buchanan and Johnny Winter, then for God’s sake Robert, please let it die!! guitar of Boy Who Matter is a typical Weller tale of broken hearts and such with a relaxed low-register vocal from the Boy Wonder.

if you want to find out more about the latest bands to join Midnight, Hanging Out is the place to start. The compilation contains 12 songs by 11 Midnight artists (The Love Pushers are actually just a pick-up band of New Jersey fanzine writers.) including Girl Next Door by the Woofing Cookies and That Won’t Make You Love Me by the prolific Howard’ Weulfing. As an added bonus, the LP also has a never before released cover of the Sonics’ The Witch that dates back to 1982 . . . yes it’s even better than their version of Cinderella!

Probably the most promising new band on the ‘Midnight roster is the Woofing Cookies from Westchester N.Y. Their lyrics bear a startling truth that can leave almost anyone saying “Yeah, I know all about that”; take The Girl Next Door for example:

Everytime she’s checkin’ her mail, I’m out there checkin’ mine. But I’d give my right arm and all of my records and my left leg and my very own bed, For just one night with the girl next door. A jangly bright backing and uncluttered production make for a brilliant debut.

Screamin Jay Hawkins and The Fuzztones Live If there was any question as to Screamin’ Jay’s sanity, the evidence given by this, his latest LP is’incontrovertible. Howling, wretching, maniacal laughter and of course screaming voodoo swamp chants of gurgling death for which he has become famous the world over. The EP contains the classics: Alligator Wine, I Put A Spell On You, and Constipation Blues as well as a Christmassy song called It’s That Time Again all aided by the buzz and twang of grunge kings The Fuzztones.

Possibly the best album of 1986, London 0 Hull 4 (a tongue-in-cheek reference to the way they feel about London and their ongoing joke about being the fourth-best band in their native Hull), is a record of unerringly hummable tunes, chirpy pop, and wellaimed Marxist rhetoric that could convert a hard-line right-winger.

You have Stairway To Heuuen (sic), a traditional Tex-Mex-style country song recorded bat kwards and sped up and slowed down with traces of that all-too-familiar guitar and flute line we all know from countless high school dances.

Camper Van Beethoven are none of these, but what they really are is next to impossible to define.

Those records were possible soundtracks to Kerouac’s On The Road or the soundtrack to a documentary on weddin receptions 4 American across the entire Nor.h continent, encompassing bluegrass, ska, traditional Celtic -folk, R-Tel Bouzouki Time Greek music; Depression-era country, and, yes, even rock and pop as exemplified by their “hit” Take The Skinheads Bowling. David Lowery and the boys, now aided and abetted by ex-Shockabilly dude and all-around weirdo Eugene Chadbourne, dish up more of their tasty morsels of Americana on their third elpee offering. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to be an ethnomusicologist (assuming such a profession exists), but CVB’s National Geographic approach to music is fluent and eloquent in every musical language even though their tongues are never far from their cheeks. However, this isn’t a bunch of wavers having a laugh at unhip music CVB can have fun with it because they’re fascinate,d with the endless variety of music it is possible to play on fiddle, guitar, bass, and drums.

Matt Johnson’s third offering is a conspicuously interesting effort as it deftly incorporates an invigorating dimension that could be defined as an alley-cat musical manifestation. It’s an album with a definite feel; not the kind of stuff that leaves one wondering as to why the artist in question bothered to make an album in the first place. The song Twilight of a champion epitomizes and articulates the style that Johnson has come to rely upon on the album. It’s a song that creeps around, pauses, then scatters to a quickening pace. It’s got that cops and robbers touch to it and what makes it worth listening to is the feeling that one is listening to a musical play set in the ’50s. The high point (or should it be the low point?) of the album is the seething desperation prevalent in the lyrics of the song Heartland. Johnson depicts a personalized vignette of the frustration and deprivation of those cursed by the burdens of capitalistic English society.

At the end of Heartland, Johnson makes an oft-used comment on the social- political ramifications of international bourgeoisie-capitalism by stating that England “ . . . is the 51st state of the U.S.A.” Without a doubt, most other Europeans would agree too. These are lyrics poignant enough to drown our silly PM and his buddy Ronnie.

Heartland is undoubtedly the best song on the album but it’s agitated lyrics get lost in the ultrasmooth and lazily paced instrumentation. If one wasn’t paying attention to the words, he/she would assume that this was a brooding love song. The title track, Infected, on the other hand, being an angst-filled number, relies on a hard beat (excuse the crude pun) and a swervin’ rhythm to convey it’s lustfilled message.

. Warriors win Moser Tournament by Mike McGraw Imprint staff ’ Heartbreaking losses have become a reality that the Waterloo Warriors basketball team have ,had to deal with this season. You .may recall several barnburners they dropped in the pre-season, and especially the one-point squeaker last week at Laurier. Last Saturday night at the PAC, the Warriors turned in another solid effort, but ended up on the short end of a tough 89-87 decision against the Windsor Lancers. They rebounded Tuesday night to clobber the York 85-63 in the Mike Yeoman, Moser Memorial Game. “Guys

are really

disappointed”

“The guys are really disapsaid a visibly disappointed,” pointed Don McCrae. “It’s tough to lose these one and two pointers. The guys are playing great, but it’s tough when you drop to a mediocre record (z-2).” Windsor played long-bomb basketball in the first half. A good number of their buckets came via long passes which found the Warriors caught up court. Nonetheless, with Paul Boyce once again leading the attack, Waterloo managed to open j up a lo-point lead late in the half. Boyce counted 13 of his 2Opoints in the first stanza. But the wide margin was short _lived, as the Lancers cut the lead back to 4 within 20 seconds,a task made easy with the 3-point shooting prowess of guards Scott Thomas and Matt St.Louis. The Warriors led 44-41 at the half. The Lancers looked to be on the rocks early in the second when big man Ken Schweitzer fouled out, while their other two muscle-men were in foul trouble. With Thomas and St.Louis running the offense with some precision passing and shooting, Windsor had no trouble staying close or forging ahead by the half-way mark. The Warriors appeared to break the ice around the 8-minute mark when Jerry Nolfi made a big steal which

Boyce converted to a slam and a suticessful free throw off a foul. As the crowd came to life, Nolfi nailed a, 3-pointer to apparently signal a swing in momentum. Once again though, the Lancers were quick to narrow the gap, as Carlos Bonifero converted a steal into 2 points, and then came right back to notch a 3-pointer of his own. By the 2-minute mark, Windsor had edged ahead by 7, and seemed to be in command. However, the Warriors clawed their way back into this one, John Bilawey hitting a 3-pointer to pull them within two, and Rob Froese notching a pair of pressure free throws to dealock it at 87. Thomas’ bucket with 20 seconds remaining won it for the Lancers, as a last ditch effort by Waterloo to even the score fell agonizingly short. Froese kicked in 19 while St. Louis and Bonifero led Windsor with 22 apiece. In the Moser game, the Warriors had no trouble manhandling a sluggish York squad. With their defensive press working to perfection, the Warriors forced the frustrated Yeomen into countless errors. This allowed them to take control of the game early, as they outscored the Yeomen 26-10 in a lo-minute span and led 40-22 at the half. Warriors

The spirited play of Nolfi, who was filling in for the injured Tom Schneider, along with the precision shooting of Boyce and Froese ,allowed the Warriors to totally dominate the often inept Yeomen.. The game also saw players such as Jeremy Moore and John Clark log some extended f1oo.r time both of whom are developing quite impressively this season. Craig Beda also turned in a strong effort off the bench. The second half was much the same, highlighted by some acrobatic drives from Froese and gritty shotblocking by Jamie McNeill.

Nolfi leads +B-ball team with spunk /

In that land of giants we call a basketball court, Waterloo’s spunky little Jerry Nolfi stands tall among the OUAA’s big men. At a time when teams such as Guelph and Windsor employ their own versions of the Refrigerator in an attempt to clog the laneways, how refreshing it is to see number 5 scamper up the court in a perpetual state of dribble. The roster lists him at 5’1O”, a figure which seems ko diminish when he comes to a halt beside an opposition tower. But Nolfi’s game can be summed up in one word: spunk. When you watch this little cannonball, you begin to realize the special character which he brings to the Warriors. What always catches my attention is his undying hustle and energy - qualities which can pick a tiring team up, or turn a tight game around. The moment Waterloo’s own “Spud” steps on the hardwood, you can almost feel the rise in intensity on the court from the bleachers. Distinct in my mind is this stocky character positioned at the top of the three-point stripe, directing the offense with a raised hand, dribbling endlessly with the other. A major part of his leadership skills is definitely his special gift of the gab. As the Warriors set up on offense, his voice echoes throughout the gym when he shouts his instructions. If the team hits a mid-half slump, Nolfi’s distinct tones can be heard as he encourages his teammates, trying to spark them back to a

high level of intensity. Watch also as he mediates the ever present Warrior summit meetings at ahe top of the opponent’s key. And his inspiration doesn’t stop at the floor - when he retires to the pine he still makes it a point to keep his teammates pumped up.’ But often the best leaders are those.who set examples for oth’ers to follow, a prerequisite Nolfi also fulfills. Fans who sit within the first five rows do so at their own risk, as Nolfi often ends up barrelling into the bleachers in pursuit of an opponent’s pass-or a loose ball. This total disregard for his physical well-being is the type of thing that gets the crowd buzzing, and the team hyped. And when the chips are down, he seems to come through with the big steal or the arching bomb of a three-pointer which hits nothing but mesh. Although many identify basketball as a tall man’s game, the plight of the little guy in the CIAU is well documented. Look no further than Windsor’s Scott Thomas or Winnipeg’s Joey Vickery - two tiny guards who often heave up successful threepointers, while the hulks awaiting the rebound can only push and shove in awe at their accuracy. Like Nolfi, these two epitomize that gritty type of game essential to a team’s character. So next time you’re at a Warriors’ basketball game, along with the big guys banging it out for rebounds, take notice of that little yellow blur with number 5 on his jersey. He may not win many jump balls - but keep the word spunk in mind when you watch him.

UW skaters capture the bronze at York invite Although only 11 members of the 16-member Athena figure skating team travelled to York, outstanding performances by those who did compete allowed the team to capture the bronze position. Carol Rankie had an impressive day on the ice. She placed third in Junior Singles, first in Intermediate Singles and then teamed up with Alison HayesSheen to capture the top ranking in both Junior and Intermediate Similar Pairs. Rankie and Karen Lukasik also attained a fifthplace finish in Senior Similar Dance. Lukasik paired up with Margo Fraser in Senior Similar Dance to finish in fourth spot. Barb Brubacher teamed up with Laurie Frey and with Ruth Brown in Junior Similar Dance to place fifth and seventh respec-

tively. The Intermediate Solo Dance event saw Stephanie Muller capture the bronze position while Margo Fraser finished fifth. In the Single Solo Categories, Anna da Silva finished first at the Junior level, Carol Snow came ninth at the Intermediate level, Lies1 Walton captured seventh at the Senior level and Margo Fraser finished fifth at the Open Singles level. In the last events of the day, da Silva and Brubacher captured fourth place in Intermediate Similar Pairs, and Fraser and Bonnie Caywood surprisingly notched second place in Similar Senior Pairs. Also in this category, Muller and Lukasik skated to a fifth-place finish. Next OWIAA action is at Queen’s on February 21 and 22.

Athena-s win by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff It was a must-win situation for the University of Waterloo Athena basketball1 team. The Wilfrid Laurier Ladyhawks were riding high at 4-0 and were looking forward to becoming the surprise winners of the OWIAA West Division. Our own Athenas were at 2-2 and looking like they couldn’t repeat last year’s 9-3 record. However, in one of the most exciting finishes yet seen this season, on a clutch last second shot by forward Brenda Bowering, the Athenas prevailed and savoured victory. The victory was made even sweeter by the fact that the Athenas were behind for the whole match, finally taking a 57-55 lead with 21 seconds left and winning 59-57 on that-one important shot. In the first half the game was looking like a repeat of Waterloo’s defeat at the hands of Laurier on November 26 of last year.

The Athenas were playing Laurier’s game, a half-court, slowthings-down type of strategy well-suited to the very tall Ladyhawk squad. The Waterloo starting five worked the ball well around the Laurier zone, were very patient, and showed good sh_ot selection throughout the half. However, the Athena shooters were changing their shots in front of those tall Hawk forwards, and nothing seemed to be going down. Overall, it was a slow-moving first period of basketball; fortunately the Athena defense was strong, keeping the score at the end of the half to 29-24 for Laurier. Cindy Poag played an excellent game both ways for Waterloo, especially on the boards. The second half was a very tense period of basketball, especially for Coach Warren Sutton and one particular fan. A very fast-paced first 10 minutes saw both teams trading baskets on both the fast break and from the half-court offense. The score

Also, the Athena team does not seem to know that they can win the game they are playing in, even when they are only down a couple of baskets. In the Laurier game, then Waterloo players had their heads down and their seemed to be a lack of encouraging talk amongst the players on the court and from the bench. A little Bobby Knight style flamboyance by Coach Warren Sutton turned the Laurier game into Waterloo’s favour as the Athenas came to life to eventually take a very tough win. This team has the talent and ability to go a long way, perhaps even further than last year, hopefully our Athena players will soon gain the knowledge that they can win those tough games against highly ranked teams. If they haven’t after that Laurier game, there must be something wrong with all of them.

Nordic --ski team wins Guelph t0urne.y I

The Waterloo nordic ski team continued its winning ways last weekend by taking first-place at the Guelph annual race held in Eden Mills, just outside of Guelph. The senior men placed four of the top 10 finishers and won easily over the University of Guelph and McMaster. Cam Mahon won the race in a time of 1:15:58, while Jack Simpson placed third in the 23 kilometre event. Also finishing in the top 10 were Steve Symon, sev-

enth, and Bruce Klements, ninth. Mike Bain, John Cowan and Gerard Shoemaker rounded out the men’s team, finishing 13th, 14th and 23rd. The race had been questionable until the weekend because of the unseasonably warm temperatures. The ski team was also supposed to race last Saturday in London but the race,was cancelled due to poor conditions. As the weekend rolled around, however, the temperature had

dropped and the Guelph race went ahead as planned. In the junior men’s category, Greg Payne finished fifth with a time of 1:39:09 on the same 23 km course. Lija Whittaker also skied strongly as she placed third in the junior women’s 16.5 km race. Because of the unexpected cancellation of the Western race, a small contingent of the ski team travelled to Ottawa for the eastern national championships. The team trained on Saturday ,

in the Gatineaus where the race was held and watched the classic race of 15 km which featured some of the best skiers in Canada - Yves Bilodeau, Alain Masson, Wayne Dustin and UW’s own Konstantin Milchin and Rob Freit ag. The freestyle event was held Sunday in near-blizzard conditions. The temperat-ure was -10 C and the visibility was poor. Despite the conditions, the team fared well against other Ontario

universities and some incredible skiers from Quebec and the Maritimes, as well as Ontario, Final results have not yet been sent to the university. The course in Ottawa was very difficult and the freshly fallen snow made the race even’ more exhausting, but it was a great learning experience for the Waterloo team. This weekend the team travels to Haliburton.

squash team now ranked No. 2 in country

by Paul Jackson This past weekend in Toronto the East met the West in a crossover squash tournament. This is prepatory to the team championships which will take place January 30 and 31 at Western. Competing in Toronto were 10 varsity teams where the Warriors secured a strong second place. Noteworthy is the fact that three Warriors (Rob Ayer, John Curran, and Steve Millard) went undefeated in five matches. A strong argument can now be made that the University of Waterloo “A” Squash Team is, the No. 2 team in the country. The team championships in London next weekend may provide the testimony to this claim. Anticipate being in London on January 30 and 31. Come out and support the Warriors.

The Warrior volleyball squad extended their unblemished 1986-87 season record to 7-O with a convincing win over the visiting McMaster Marauders on Jan. 16. Waterloo fans were treated to a classic exhibition of the exciting brand of volleyball that they have grown to love from their nationally ranked team. The McMaster defense was dumbfounded by an overwhelming Warrior attack. Returning veteran Ron Clarke proved to be

an unstoppable force at the net for Waterloo, while leading his team in the backcourt. Offensive weapons Scott Shantz, Wally Hayes and Vince Deschamps had little trouble hammering Scott Murphy’s precision sets to the hardwood floors of the PAC. Rookies Steve Heck and Tonv Martins continued to illustrate the reasons why many consider them the top recruits in Ontario. The Warriors travel to Halifax this weekend in an attempt to upgrade their seventh-position national ranking at the annual balhousie Classic.

Last weekend, he scored a goal and assisted on three others as the Warriors took 3 of 4 points from Queen’s and RMC right in Kingston. Steve now has 14 goals and 17 assists on the season which puts him very close to the league lead in scoring.

Last Friday in an invitational meet at York, Carol turned in a most impressive performance.

She also placed first in intermediate singles, and finishe-d third and sixth in two other categories. Carol was a member of the OWIAA championship figure skating team last, season.

UVV 3rd at\ York by John Denny

with a time of 4:02.4.-In fifth and sixth place were Nick Cipp and Shamir Jamal with times of 4:06.1 and 4:07.4 respectively. Needless to say the devastation did not end there; Warrior power-house Harvey Mitro blew away the competition and the meet record to set a new time for the 1OOOlmetres at this annual event, with a swift clocking of 2:26.4. In the 5000-metre race, Stefan Steiner clocked in at 18:07.6. Tom Sawyer, who had a comfortable third position with two laps to go, was knocked over by some young ladies carrying hurdles. Leanne Pinder and Jill Francis were in tremendous form. Leanne, with great striding power, eased her way to take the first spot in the 1500-metre event in a time of 4:53.2 and Jill Francis pressed on to‘a 10:19.7 clocking in the arduous 3000-metre event, capturing the bronze medal. Both the Warrior and Athena teams placed third overall.

The UW track and field team proved last weekend that it can hold. its own against the larger university teams. On Saturday at the York University Invitational Track and Field meet, Ulrike Zugelder was in great form. In the 1000-metre event, she clocked in at 3:01.0, making this mark a personal best and taking the silver medal at the same time. She ran the 1500-metres in 5:00.4, placing second, again capturing more hardware for the Athenas. Deanne Cheer also ran very well, placing fifth in the 600-metre, cruising in at 1:55.2. On the Warrior scene, expert navigator Nick Cipp eased his way to a 15:22.9 clocking in the 5000-metre event, seizing sixth position. In the field, Andy Garrison jumped 6.08 metres in the long-jump event, Even after a hard meet on Saturday, the determined Waterloo team made its way to London at UWO, to compete in the Don ’ Wright Invitational meet. There again the team performed valiantly. Starting the Warrior onslaught, in the 60-metres, John Denny made a time of 7.18 (electric), to earn the second spot. Denny also won the high-jump, with a leap of 1.9 metres. Andy Garrison placed sixth in the 60metres and fourth in the longjump. In the 4x200 relay, the Warrior team comprising of John Clayton, Brett Kelly, Andy Gar-‘ rison and John Denny strided to a 1:36.6 clocking. In fine form, Kevin Shields smoked his way to a first-place victory in the 1500-metre event,
