"The Maranthas are a cult-like group that pose serious threats to their followers, especially university students and they should be kicked off campus." This was the message that two ex-Maranatha Christian Fel. lowship members gave to the Fed's policy review committee March 29. In keepingwith their policyof making students more awareabout cults, UWs Federationof Students invited Philip David and Deborah burden, formerly of the U of T Maranathas, to talk to them. David and burden were i n f l w tial in getting Mamnathas kicked off the U of T campus, stopping their arrival at Rqerson, and thwartingtheir success at U of T s Erindale college. David said he hopes his advice and information can also help remove them from thii campus. David and burdenboth#ad terrible experienceswith the Maranathas and they saidt i e r e w c many ~ others in similar positions.
The Citizen's Freedom Foundation, a US.-based organization, labelled Maranatha, a cult. Father Kent Burtnet, a notedcult specialist from the States who talked to the students early this term, also said the Maranathas were an authoritative cult. According to David and burden, Maranatha is a cult that gains total control over your person, takes your mind, individuality and your money. David and burden both gave ex. amplesof how the Mamnathatotally controlledtheir W s . Bothwere influenced by Maranatha to quit theirjobs or change their qmersso they could spend more time with the groupand burden said that it iscommon practice for Mamnatha to tithe their members taking anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent of their earnings. burden said that when she left the Maranathas she had nothing she had given it all to theni for their miss i o w Wrk Another item of the Maranatha's ductrine which bothered both David

Boy toys deflated atVic ‘by Nancy McLean Imprint staff with CUP Do the words “sacred muff’ or “fun bag” bring anything to mind? Well\, at Victoria College, an affiliate of U. of T., the objects are brought to the lips of eager, young males. Vie orientation ends with two secret ceremonies, one for women and one for men. The women’s cerernony involves a quiet, candle-lit meeting, where female frosh are taught about the college’s traditions. The men’s ceremony, on the other hand, centers around an object known affectionately as “the sacred muff’. In the past, male frosh have been required to kneel and kiss the nine year old muff, a piece of carpet soaked in fish oil and chicken bled which is meant to represent (yes, you
guessed it) a rather large vagina. To successfully complete the “rite of passage”, the young males, heavily inebriated by the excitement of male bonding, must blow (up) a rubber doll. In a recent/meeting, Vie student council recommended that an effort be made by the orientation chair of ‘87 to tone down the “‘fun activities” of the males. “They should revise the hazing and sexist elements of the men’s traditional ceremony,‘* said council president, Marni pyke. According to council service commissioner, Rosemary Newman, Vie women had not realized before what the ceremony contained. “We started talking to some guys, and we started to realize how offensive the whole thing was to women,” she said. “At an institution which is sup posed to be enlightened, the first ex-
perience boys get when they arrive is a big putdown of women.” Ian Grant, a member of last fall’s orientation executive, admitted that the ceremony did get out of hand, but insisted that the sexist elements were not to blame. Instead, he thought the problem might lie with the requirement that frosh remain quiet during a long speech about the history of the sacred muff. in addition, Grant had the following to say about the speech: “it is exceptionally funny, and I don’t think it’s degrading. Everyone who goes through knows it’s a joke. They’ (the cruel and tasteless censuring board) want to take anything sexist out of it, and that’s what it (the joke) is all about.” Hopefully “they” won’t ruin the good, clean fun for Grant and his contemporaries.
UW debaters achieve best-ever finish at -MU
Three profs awarded distinguished The University of Waterloo will honor three of its top teachers at its spring convocation this year. Convocation dates are May 28-30. The three - Profs. Donald Irish, chemistry; Sally Lerner, environmental and resource studies, and David Mills, health studies - will receive distinguished teacher awards. Each award consists of a citation presented to convocation, designation as a “distinguished teacher” in the university’s academic calendar, and $1,000 which is used to support a teaching activity as determined by
the recipient. Distinguished teacher awards are made on the recommendations of students (both undergraduate and graduate), former students, and academic colleagues. The long term influence of the teachers is considered; as well as ability to transfer knowledge. Dr. Irish has been with the university since its inception, almost 30 years ago, and is now one of its most respecte,d researchers. He is regarded by former students, many of whomhave gone on to be-

OF the three honored teachers, Prof. Mills is the most recent arrival on campus (1981). He has already established a reputation for his ability to transmit complex, technical information to his students in an effective way. He also has the ability to generate enthusiasm for his subject, even in very large classes of several hundred students. His course ratings (by students) are consistently at top levels. Prof. .Miils is also a very active researcher whose work has been published in a number of excellent journals.
Prof. Lemer is not only an out‘standing classroom teacher, whose nomination many students and former students enthusiastically endorsed, she has also contributed much to the development of new and innovative courses; as well, she has contributed much to the activities of the university’s Centre, for Science, Technology and Values. She is known as one who encourages students to translate from the -classroom to the outside world and who encourages the development of students’. problem solving skills.

Part-timer releases third poetry book Dona Paul Massel, of Kitchener, a part-time student at the University of Waterloo, is the author of a new book of poetry, Poppies For Our Sisters. This is her third published work The poetry relates the stories of a variety of ethnic women struggling with the tyranny, poverty and illiteracy in their native lands, as well as the emotional and physical trauma of adjusting to their chosen country Canada. Masse1 considers the experiences of these women a secondary source of history, one not previously tapped. As she writes in her introductory poem: “While men led armies their own way of peace you led children new leaves in the wastelands of war you held family in the oasis of your hand” Massel, the mother of four and with two grandchildren, enrolled as a part-time student at UW in the fall of 1980 and is now in her third year, majoring in English. “I started to write seriously in 1976,” she says, “but 1 felt I really needed a university education to get

She has also conducted writing workshops at the university and the Kitchener Public Library. During World War II, Masse1 spent her childhood in Bracebridge, near a Norwegian Air Force training base. Her first book of poetry, The Vikings Who Came to Fly, tells, the story of the airmen who trained at the base. While writing it, she got to know the small Norwegian-Canadian community there and through that experience began to be interested in other national groupings in the Canadian mosaic. The present book grew out of that extended interest. Yes: A Play in Search of Mary, is a play in poetry; it has been professionally produced on numerous occasions across Canada. A grant from the secretary of state, multiculturalism, covered the cost of publishing both Poppies For Our Sisters and The Vikings Who Came to Fly. Poppies for Our Sisters is currently being used at UW as a textbook for the course The Use of English 1.

Christians vs gays a major waste of time’ by Paul Done Imprint staff For some weeks now, the Forum section of Imprint has been the site of a monstrous battle of rhetoric. Chris Gerrard has devoted many columns to the subject of the Bible and homosexuality while the legions of angry Christians have responded with their own Biblical interpretations. This has been one of the most useless, repetitive arguments that I’ve ever witnessed. The arguments made by Chris have basically resembled guilty attempts to justify a personal decision for which the only justification can come from within. The self-proclaimed Christians who responded have, by and large, given the impression of being proselytizing, self-righteous hypocrites. Very few constructive attempts at communication have been made. The practice of Biblical interpretation is an inexact, inconclusive pursuit. Each person who reads the Bible brings their own set of experiences and views to the work and will, therefore, come to different conclusions. Even the fundamentalists who claim to be reading the Bible “literally’* are kidding themselves since the act of reading is a symbolic, interpretive act. Words are mere symbols of objects, types of action or human abstractions such as emotions. Thus, there can be no absolute, final interpretation of the Bible. That Chris Gerrard would try and address this topic to fanatics and fundamentalists brings the certainty of his faith in his sexuality into question. Healthy attitudes and sexuality need no outside justification. To look to the Bible, or any book, for comforting affirmation shows a distinct lack of strength of conviction. The whole brouhaha has been counterproductive, distasteful and repetitive.
Help would be nice by Mike Brown Imprint staff All Wednesday night and all of Thursday morning were spent pasting up this paper. Three elves did the enormous job: an editor in chief, a news editor and a photo-editor while the business manager arrived in the morning to help beyond her call of duty. At the beginning of the term this paper had the active staff required to efficiently produce a paper, now at the end of term a large proportion of the volunteers are not around; they have a lot of home work. Well what the heck do the ripped-off staff who stick it out and make sure the paper gets out have? Yes, they have homework too! This is a university paper, the more the weasels dump off their work - the worse the paper is and the worse the dedicated staffers’ term marks are. Unfortunately, they might decide it is not worth it. Imprint needs volunteers - something to keep in mind next term. ?
Talking at by Doug Thompson Imprint staff The Creationism vs. Evolution debate has always struck me as one of those areas feared by angels and inhabited by fools. The two sides appca x, for the most part, to talk at each other, rather than to each other. And as psychologist Jesse Lair ,once put it, without good will there can be no communication between humans. Between these two schools of thought there is little in the way of either good will or Christian charity. It strikes me as rather odd that of all the non-dogmatists I’ve spoken to, the vast majority tend to be in substantial agreement with both sides. Neither do the two positions strike me as all that far apart. But then when you look for agreement, instead of a fight, you often come up with different perceptions. Let’s look at the elements of “Biblical Creationism” and “Evolutionary Creationism”more closely. They both postulate a time in the past before there was anything recognizable as earth. Science speaks of the origin
of the solar system, the Bible says “In the beginning the earth was without form and void that means null, nonexistent “. No conflict here. Both “Creationisms” then suggest that energy was at some point applied to the void “and God said, let there be light”. Various scientific “theories” speculate about how the first light developed, but they agree that energy (light) comes along. Both versions of our origins depict a planet without life to start. Both see that life starts with the rather primitive forms, and that some time later more sophisticated life forms can be found. The Bible specifies the order as plants, fish, then‘animals. Darwinists agree.The Bible doesn’t say how God made the animals. Science postulates evolution to explain how to get from plants to animals, etc. Since the Bible is mute on the how, there ean be no real conflict. Both sides agree the crowning glory’, of creation is homo-sapiens, and that s/ he is the most recent arrival. Both also agree that man’s body derives from the pre-existing inventory of material. In the Bible it’s
billion years. It seems to me the betfrom the “dust of the ground” that ter part of discretion to concede God created man.

life, is greater than the sum of its chemical and physical parts. The way these parts interact is all important. But most scientists and most adherents of religion would agree on that too. So what are they arguing about? Well it is this, there are those who try to read the Bible like a science text. The Scientists must be wrong if the Bible disagrees with them. As I’ve just pointed out, most of the disagreement derives from the way those folk interpret the document, not the document itself. If two men observe a given event, and one writes a poem about it, and another writes a scientific obser,vation, the two documents will not look very much alike. Does that make one “false” and the other “true”‘? Of course not. The Biblical creation story must be recognized for what it is, a story about the meaning and significance of creation. It is not a scientific description of creation. A scientific description would have been quite impossible for the world of antiquity that would not hear of science for a few thousand more years. And to take such a “poetic” interpretation of the significance of the agreed facts as contradictory to a more detailed scientific description of the mechanics of the facts is simply an effort to find grounds for conflict where none exist! Instead of making common cause in their mutually complementary fields of inquiry, those determined to flog this dead horse end up in a futile wrangle which will one day appear as foolish as the medieval theological debates about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin! The agreed fact is that once there was nothing, now there is something quite marvelous, and we had nothing to do with bringing it about. A power much greater than ourselves somehow accomplished this. Christians call that power God, so do many scientists (Christian and nonChristian alike). Others haven’t got to the point of recognizing God, but this in no way implies that their recognition of natural forces is incorrect, erroneous, or contradictory to the Bible. The Bible is not interested in the mechanical details, it’s concern is of vastly greater import: nothing less than eternity, a field in which science has little-to say.

Imprint hipsters feet: ,ing egos with obscure recorc reviews To the editor, Once again I’ve been left dumbfounded after reading the record review by those oh too cool hipsters Done et al. I have thought long and hard to come up with a feasible answer to the question: “Why do the Imprint record critics insist on reviewing albums which are so obscure that the vast majority of the student population has never even heard of any of the bands whose names grace the pages of our paper?” Possibly they hold our musical tastes in contempt and feel it is their purpose in life to release us from the shackles of mainstream music. To a certain extent, I believe a university paper should present material that a person isn’t likely to read in other papers, but I think the reviewers are
overemphasizing the point with endless reviews of the most obscure bands on the planet. It would be refreshing to see a mixture of reviews which cover the obscure and not-so-obscure, but I guess that would all be for naught anyhow, since most non-obscure bands generally receive scathing, venomous criticisms, thus fuelling the inflated egos of the “hip’ reviewers. May I inquire into what happens to the albums after they have been reviewed? Are the records bought with the critics’ own bucks, or does the Imprint buy the albums? And what happens to the records after they have been reviewed? Do they go into the Campus Centre’s “Tunes” collection, or do they find their way into the reviewers’ collections? * If bought by the critic, obviously the
Christian fanatics not worth attention To the editor, It is always interesting to see the fervour with which some Christians debate the moral acceptability of others’ sexual behaviour. Not being particularly religious, I am quite content to leave to others the interpretation of God’s point of view on the matter of homosexuality. Indeed, I don’t think it an unreasonable interpretation of. the Bible to suggest that it has bad things to say about homosexual acts. For that matter, it has bad things to say about masturbation, although we’ve seen no protracted correspondence regarding the issue in Imprint (it seems to me that Christians are somewhat selective in their sensitivity to sin). Unfortunately, the debate between Chris Gerrard and his readers seems to have degenerated into a tedious squabble over biblical semantics; frankly, I don’t think either side is arguing particularly well. As Bruce Wilson, who wrote last week, said, “they seem to be missing the point.” Now Mr. Wilson has raised an interesting question, and it is really his letter that I am addressing &here. Mr. Wilson wants to know whether or not homosexuality that is to say, the condition of homosexuai orientation - should be seen as a matter of choice. This is a key question, as Mr. Wilson recognizes. However, as we shall see, its answer will not settle the moral question at hand, and so I won’t argue my position at length. For the purposes of my reply, 1 must assume that Mr. Wilson (who isn’t telling) is heterosexual. What I suggest is this: that Mr. Wilson (and any other heterosexual who may be reading along) try a simple experiment. What I want you to do is to Y choose to be gay. Go ahead, now, don’t be shy - really give it some effort. If your girlfriend has some back issues of Playgirl lying around, so much the better - get them out and have a good look at what you’ve been missing. My apologies to anyone for whom the effort succeeds; it’s not really supposed to. The point, of course, is that-the option of choosing sexual orientation seems ludicrous as soon as one _ . conceives of attempting such * a choice oneself.
There are those who suggest that homosexuality can be cured, as though it were a disease; Mr. Wilson is free to conduct his own research into this question. However, to the best of my knowledge efforts in this direction have generally been unsuccessful even in cases where a homosexual has been eager for the change; in fact, efforts to “cure” homosexuality may result in severe psychological trauma. If we can agree that our sexual orientation (whichever it may be) is not subject to choice, then as Mr. Wilson puts it, “how could nay Christian call it sin?” In point of fact, many enlightened Christians do not view homosexuality per se as sinful. References in the Bible are not to homosexuality,but to homosexual acts. Here Christians stand upon somewhat firmer ground: clearly I can choose between indulging my predilection or not. “So,” as Chris wrote at the beginning of last week’s column, “where does this leave us?’ What alternatives does Chris, a gay Catholic, have in reconciling his sexual orientation and his faith? According to the Vatican, he has two: he can seek medical and psychiatric help (despite the fact that, by and large, these professions do not recognize homosexuality as a dysfunction); or he can remain celibate for the rest of his life. Keep in mind, of course, that heterosexual intercourse out of wedlock is no less heinous a sin than whatever Chris may be up to now. Even if he succeeds in getting things straight so to speak - he may have sexual relations only with a woman to whom he is married, and at that only in a sincere effort to make babies. It seems to me that the morality of Chris’s sexual behaviour is not at issue here, since Chris is - technically at least - neither more nor less a sinner than any sexually active and unmarried heterosexual. I might suggest that the real moral issue lies in the self-righteous hypocrisy of those who condemn him, but to be quite honest I don’t find the opinions of such people to be worth my attention.

albums should remain in his/ her possession, but I sincerely hope that Fed fees aren’t going toward increasing Done et al.‘s record collection. Just think about it: two albums a week would increase an individual’s collection by up to 100 albums a year. May I suggest that reviewers concentrate on critiquing albums which are on the CC Record Store’s “just arrived” portion of the Top Ten albums published by the Imprint. By doing this, the students will have reviews of records which they know they can buy without having to travel to New York City. Reviews of these albums may in turn generate more income for the Record Store. This seems a logical solution to the abuses and will provide a far better cross-section of musical types than is being presented. Come on Paul Done et al., get off of your musical soap boxes and start reviewing some less obscure bands. Dave Thomas 4B Earth Science Federation fees have nothing to do with Imprint. No student fees are ever used in the purchase of records for review in Imprint. Although some records are bought by reviewers with their own money, a large percentage come from Canadian record companies (promotional material), the Campus Centre Record Store or Dr. Disc in downtown Kitchener, which is of course several hundred miles closer than New York City. - ed.
Nuclear not affordable To the editor, I don’t wish to prolong this exchange in the forum pages on the issue of nuclear power, but perhaps it has been useful in showing the need to question alleged facts. Other readers may find additional errors in Mr. Weibe’s letter on nuclear power (Imprint, March 13), but a serious error concerning the relative toxicity of plutonium and arsenic trioxide requires correction. Arsenic trioxide is indeed very toxic. It has a threshold limit value of 250 micrograms per cubic metre of air. What this means is that a worker can be exposed to this amount of arsenic trioxide over an eight hour day with no apparent ill effects. The corresponding value for plutonium is .000006 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Contrary to Mr. Wiebe’s arguments, I do not advocate substituting coal for nuclear energy. Conservation, efficiency and cogeneration would be sufficient. Ontario ranks first in the world in per capita energy consumption and second in electricity consumption; thus, there’s a lot of room for improvement in both conservation and efficiency. Western Europe produces almost half its electricity by cogeneration; whereas, very little co-generation is used in Ontario. Perhaps it is a sad commentary on our priorities, but I believe it will not be radioactive waste nor a nuclear accident, but the cost that will lead to the abandonment of nuclear power production. Ontario Hydro’s debt now stands at about $24 billion - we cannot afford nuclear power. Cynthia Folzer Chemistry Department.

To anyone who knows little of Christianity on campus,. I’m sure the responses appearing these last few weeks to A Different Light must appear a poor advertisement for a religion.
If argument is true, then who made God?
To the editor,
I write in response to Chris Sales’ letter in Imprint (March 20). In his letter, Chris makes an assumption about the nature of the universe. He suggests that if a computer exists, then a computer maker must exist. This can be stated more formally: If x exists, then there must exist a y such that y is the maker of x. This is supposed to imply the existence of God, since the universe exists, a universe maker, God, must exist. Of course the same argument says that since God exists, a Godmaker must exist. Let’s cut out the middle man and worship the Godmaker. But wait, since a God-maker exists, then a God-maker-maker must exist. And so on. Now a Christian would say: “God exists and no one made God”. This can also be stated more formally: It is not the case that if x exists, then there must exist a y such that y
is the maker of x. This is a contradiction of the earlier assumption, so the argument holds no water. Now if a Christian can state, without proof, that, God exists without being created, then nothing prevents me from claiming that the universe exists without being created. Both are simple assertions about the universe, articles of faith, if you will. While we are talking about God and logic, I would like to tell a little parable, as Christians like parables. Once there was a p,otter, who sat at his wheel to throw a pot. In the course of making the pot, the potter put a hole in the pot. Being a skilled and observant potter, he put the hole there intentionally and knowingly. Now I ask you, who’s fault is it that the pot won’t hold water, the pot’s or the potter’s?

No dinks at Imprint We would like to protest the derogatory adjecti& used to describe Imprint staff in their recent basketball game against the Athenas. Words like dink, turd, gweeb, loser, zero and re-tread can probably be used to describe the dipshits who wrote the article in question, but in general these terms,are not applicable to most Imprint staff. In fact, a majority of staff members tend to -be kind, courteous, charitable, thoughtful. rational, intelligent, aware, good-looking, and dynamite in the sack. If this kind of abuse continues in the future, we will be forced to withdraw our support from Imprint. This, of course, would result in the inevitable demise of the paper, since the dipshits would have to do all the writing themselves, and a newspaper filled with filthy adjectives would undoubtedly fail to attract many readers.

I’m happy to say that “some of my best friends” are Christian and, like Rev. York, have had sufficient contact with reality and life experience to move from a mean-spirited keeping of “the letter” to a generous, tolerant and mature holding of the spirit. What may we expect from these people who seem unable or unwilling to move beyond a slavish spiritual regurgitation? Who use inspired words to feed intolerance and then take the phrase “with love” as their signatures? We have Rev. York’s experience with Cheryl and Diane to answer this. Can we not see that the letterwriters of today will be the church boards of tomorrow? Should they continue on the path they now tread, history will repeat itself and’ more couples will be made to suffer the trials Cheryl and Diane went through. I’m happy for Chris Gerrard and his resolution of the gay Christian issue in his own life. While not Christian, as a bisexual I’m always interested in the continuing dialogue concerning sexual orientation and our attitudes surrounding it. I do wish we heard more from the moderate Christians I know are here, the “silent majority*’ does itself and its faith a great disservice in letting the reactionary right fringe speak for them all. It has been my experience that they “who shout the loudest, have the least to say”. I sincerely hope that is the case here and may quiet, calm voices enter the dialogue, if not the Forum page.

I Nuclear alternatives To the editor, This letter addresses the nuclear power debate and will hopefully introduce a new perspective. I congratulate many of the previous writers on their ability to paraphrase Petr Beckman, but I would like to point out that his book The Health Hazards of Not Going Nuclear is more than 10 years old. I also find distasteful the way the word “environmentalist” is used so loosely. Certainly an “environmentalist” would not be that thrilled with the possibility of coal-fired generation taking over the proportion of power generation in Ontario that is nuclear. There is an alternative that requires a completely revised approach to power production and distribution. We tend to assume that power must be produced in large quantities and distributed through a grid. Energy is lost when electricity is transmitted over long distances. The alternative to these huge power centres is small, decentralized power production by renewable sources. The major possibilities are small hydro, wind and solar. Should these methods be combined with extensive conservation practices, we will have taken our first steps toward sustainable power. The relative merits of nuclear power are at best debatable; the merits of conservation are rather undeniable. To the avid Beckman readers, I recommend Small is Beautiful by E.F. Schumacher. I think it would ,be great if an open forum was set up at the university sometime in the future so this complex issue of nuclear power could be dealt with more appropriately. Scott P.

Larry on tax by B.C. Holmes
and Larry
“What are you doing?’ asked Larry. “I’m filling out my tax returns,” I replied without looking up. “Why?” he insisted on continuing. “Because it has to be done,?’ I retorted. “Didn’t you say that about this week’s Imprint article?’ he asked. Stuffed animals use a strange sort of logic at times. I sighed and moved over to my typewriter. Tax returns seem to be a favourite topic of discussion these days. For the classic starving students, tax returns can mean the refund of much needed cash which one can use to pay next year’s tuition. The typical four to eight week wait for a refund does tend to drive impatient people to watch mailboxes with eagle eyes and great anticipation; it-is for these people that .tax discounters have come into existence. According to the federal ministry of consumer and corporate affairs, some 720,000 Canadians paid about $48 million to discounters in 1986 to get their refunds a few weeks earlier. .zA recent amendment to the Tax Rebate Discounting Act limits a discounter’s fee to 15 per cent of the first $300 of a refund and five per cent of the remainder. The ministry cautions consumers not to pay any extra fees to discounters; any additional charges are illegal under the current laws. Although the ministry points out
that the cost of getting quick cash 4 returns is still more than the usual cost of a loan, and that there are still other choices, local tax discounters report that many students opt for quick cash when having their returns prepared. H&R Block, Bentax and Taxsav- ’ ers, three large return centres and discounters, all use the government rates when buying tax returns. Although Taxsavers claims not to have served students, both H&R Block and Bentax report dealing with 4 scores of students. When university students go to these professional tax return services, these usually opt to have their refunds bought by the discounters. Neither discounter tries to influence their customers to have their returns bought, but this service ’ appears to be used by students more than regular tax return preparation services. The ministry suggests waiting for a full refund or applying for a shortterm loan on the strength of anex- y petted refund; . the hassle-free advantages of tax refund purchasing will still attract many students this year. People have different ideas about what are good and bad options for tax returns, but it seems generally * accepted thattax forms are a hassle. I think we should make stuffed animals do them too. “That’s and awfully cruel wish,” Larry pointed out. “Yup,” I said and went back to my ~ tax forms.
Astrological nonsense
Jocks on drugs by Alan Vanderhoek Imprint staff Once again it’s baseball season, and with it we can expect an intensification of the current war on drugs. To any rational human being the image of a $2-million-a-year athlete warning that “crack” kills would seem to be ludicrous, not to mention phony as a snowball in hell. None the less, the public is regularly inundated with hypocritical advertising featuring one jock-celebrity-yuppie after another bemoaning his or her enslavement to the demon cocaine. In one example, an executive-type male describes his family, his job, his beautiful home in the suburbs, “everything I could want” ; then sobs “and I almost lost it all.” No one considers the possibility that the house and family drove him to it in the first place. My observations of the drug culture indicate that drugs have become more powerful, less popular, and relatively much more expensive, than 10 years ago. An investigative article in Imprint last fall seemed to bear out these impressions. So what has changed to make anti-drug campaigning such 8 popular item in the political, religious and social arenas? In the bad old days, drug-abusers and addicts were depicted as stinking slimeballs slithering down some
WPIIG
big-city street stealing and stabbing their way to heroin heaven. The current profile of a drug-abuser, at least in the public mind, is that of a young promising executive yuppie, enticed by the beckonings of hedonistic consumerism into excesses of body and spirit, not to mention cocaine.,Unlike the dregs of North American humanity, this class of persons forms the ranks from which today’s taxes and tomorrow’s leaders will be drawn. Allowing these people to be slurfed up the nose of the drug-abuse monster thus is a luxury society cannot afford. . The result is a heavily-laden ba,ndwagon, stuffed to the gunwales with fundamentalist ministers and politicians, all loudly trumpeting moralistic propaganda and receiving unchallenged public plaudits for their efforts. After all, who dares stand up and defend the right of drug-abusers to abuse drugs? A concomitant result. of course, is that many of the down-and-outers, the real losers in this society, are completely ignored, forgotten in the wave of virtuous fervor overcoming our noble leaders. It is patently obvious that drug abuse provides a large and serious contribution to human misery. But I’ve had about enough of over-paid jocks undergoing public self-flagellation to expiate their sins in the eyes of some sports commissioner.

No controls on tritium supply .
by Bob Little and Peter Jantzi Norm Rubin of Energy Probe spoke on campus about tritium, Ontario Hydro and the U.S. arms buildup on March 18. Energy Probe is taking Ontario Hydro to court to establish whether the Environmental Assessment Act’s requirements for studies on environmental impact should have been applied to the Tritium Recovery Facility (TRF) being built on the Darlington nuclear generator site. Construction has-proceeded without such a study because Ontario Hydro maintains that the whole Darlington site area was given an exemption from such requirements by the Ontario Cabinet. By their reckoning, anything they choose to build on the site would be exempt. The Ontario Hydro submission to Queen’s Park showed the intention to build the TRF at the Pickering site. This is a dangerous precedent. Rubin argues that there are many exempted sites already and that this situation allows anyone to build practically anything without any form of public control. The question might arise, “Why is there all the fuss about an impact study for a tritium recovery facility?” The ability to safely transport and store the concentrated tritium, extracted from the heavy water in all the reactors, is hotly disputed by environmental and citizens’ groups. While the reactor sites and neighbouring communities might enjoy decreased risk by the removal .of the tritium, other communities will be put at risk because of the proposed highway transportation of the substance to the TRF. One only needs to remember the Mississauga train derailment to understand the concern. Workers may not experience any increased safety in their work place since they could be required to work in the reactor longer. It has been proposed that, since the half-life of tritium is only twelve years, on-site storage at each reactor would be cheaper and safer to the environment. The tritium would decay naturally and at far less expense. The heavy water would then be recycled.
Darlingtbn recovery jticility to any government
not subject controls
The final use of the extracted tritium is troubling many groups in Canada and the U.S. The civilian world demand for tritium is about 500 grams per year. Ontario Hydro plans to recover four kilograms the first year and then 2.7 kilograms in subsequent years. While there is no decision yet as to what will be done with this tritium, Ontario Hydro has letters of intent from prospective customers in the United States to buy substantial amounts, if not all of the stockpile. Any oversupply of tritium could make its way into the weapons industry. Rubin suggests there is little to prevent the Americans from using the oversupply for weapons. ‘It is not
instrumental in the making of a basicatomic bomb, as is plutonium, therefore it is not a monitored substance. It simply makes existing bombs bigger and nastier in their effects. There are no international safeguards in place to control this market. With the new directives to increase the stockpiles of weapons, military suppliers would like to devote their reactor time to weapons-grade plutonium production. Canadian (Ontario Hydro) tritium could meet and surpass their civilian demand and allow the American military to concentrate on its plutonium objectives. As mentioned earlier, the over-supply of tritium in the civilian market could be utilized along with this plutonium. Rubin said the political effect of spending more civilian generator time for plutonium production is probably too great to be considered at this time. Ontario Hydro is thus able toremove the major obstacles to the American drive for “vertical” proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Surplus Canadian tritium Zikely to end up being used for American weapons Rubin referred to the Tritium Issues Working Group report which claimed the group could find no evidence this would happen. The report lists people and groups polled for evidence of such concerns,. including the Union of Concerned Scientists, and could find no one holding this concern about the diversion of tritium from commercial to military uses. The Union of Concerned Scientists, and others, did not respond to the questionnaire, allowing the Working Group to claim that they could not find anyone with a concern. Rubin asked their opinion on the sale of tritium to the US and they replied that it would eventually serve a military purpose. These findings were expressed in the “Toronto Nuclear Awareness Response to the Tritium Issues Working Group Report”. Some of our own nuclear industry officials and scientists feel that the decision to sell would be dangerous. Rubin commented that the public is only demanding its right to know and to participate in decisions which affect them and that this self-interest is healthy to the survival of all of us. The “not in my back yard” approach is a legitimate response in our system. The Tritium Recovery Facility is nearly completed. Probe doesn’t want to dismantle this facility; it wants to affirm the intent of the Environmental Assessment Act to protect our communities. The court case will help determine whether the instruments available to people to protect themselves can be side-stepped by government. He noted that it is not so much big business which threatens the peace and environment of the planet these days but the initiatives of governments. More information on tritium can be found at Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (under the large smokestack) in the General Services Complex, room 123.
by Rob Day Imprint cynic And speaking of astrology (come now, it’s only been a week), I think it’s about time to deal with this particular running sore. Last week, I mentioned that one of the major problems facing critics of astrology is the recent and rapid increase in the complexity of the field. I can assure you that this observation is not the product of an overactive imagination since a 1985 newsletter published by the American Federation of Astrologers Network (AFAN), in trying to distinguish between popular astrology and the real thing, states that “. . .just the last couple of. decades has produced a psychologically and intellectually more mature astrology . . .” This enlightening statement is, I assume, designed to bolster our confidence in astrology while, at the same time, not lead us to wonder how astrology could have been in such a sorry state for the centuries that it has existed. One nameless individual, in a tacky display of cynicism, explained this sudden maturity by has fisaying that, “Astrology nally discovered precession of the planets.” Regardless of the reasons, the end result has been to make life far more difficult for the critics of the field, who can now expect to invest a couple of years in research before they “become even tolerably familiar with astrological theory and practice.”
4strologers make unusual rrguments in their defence The above quote is taken from a marvelous article by one Geoffrey Dean in the latest issue of The Skeptical Inquirer. In this article, Dean discusses, among other things, the standard issues of how astrologers rationalize their failures and why their clients believe in astrology. A more revealing section, however, turns the tables and looks at why astrologers believein astrology (in a fit of good grace, I will refrain from mentioning bank accounts here I hope you appreciate this.) Dean’s source of info is a 1986 paper by I. W. Kelly et al, which supplies the most common arguments put forward by astrologers, and the reasons why these arguments hold water about as well as your average colander -they are worth printing in full. Astrology has great -antiquity and durability. (So has murder.) Astrology is found in many cultures. (So is belief in a flat earth.) Many great scholars have believed in it. (Many others have not.) Astrology is based on observation. (Its complexity defies observation.) Extraterrestrial influences exist. (None are relevant to astrology.) Astrology has been proved by research. (Not true.) Non-astrologers are not qualified to judge. (So who judges murder?) Astrology is not science but art/philosophy. (Not a reason for belief.) Astrology works;. (The evi-
dence suggests otherwise.) As Dean states, “Of these nine arguments none is more common, more simple and more disarming of criticism than “astrology works”. But does it indeed work, and how does one test it? This problem is the subject of the article “A double-blind test of astrology” by Shawn Carlson in the Dec. 5, 1985 issue of Nature. Carlson correctly points out that, of the many published tests of astrology, those run by the astrologers showing positive results have been dismissed by the scientists on the grounds of technique, while those run by the scientists showing negative results are dismissed by the astrologers who claim that the scientists aren’t testing real astrology.-
Test showed astrology nc more accurate than chance
Enter Shawn Carlson, with a very simple suggestion -- get both groups together and design a test acceptable to both sides. In Carlson’s words, “To satisfy both the scientific and astrological communities, we chose as advisers people held in high esteem by their respective communities.” The astrologers to be tested were nominated by the National Center for Geocosmic Research (NCGR), an organization which “has the respect of astrologers world wide” (and whose name must be worth millions in federal
grants alone)In a seriously
condensed nutshell, the test involved matching a natal horoscope to one of three I California Personality Inventorv tests, ‘one of which was correct. According to chance, the astrologers would get one third correct. According to the astrologers, they would get at least half correct. Showdown at high noon. The final tally showed results that were completely consistent with chance, and led to a rather savage indictment by Carlson of the entire hypothesis of natal astrology, “Great pains were taken to insure that the experiment was unbiased and to make sure that astrology was given every reasonable chance to succeed. Itfailed. Despite the.fact that we worked with some of the best astrologers in the country. . . astrologyfailed to perform at a level better than chance. . . The experiment clearly refutes the astrological hypothesis. ” In the Spring ‘86 issue of Z%e . Skeptical Inquirer, Carlson follows up on the study by stating that, “The astrologers’ reactions so far have been pretty much what I expected . . . Theastrologers whom I didn’t test are saying that the test was not fair because Idid not test them . . .” Carlson also adds that he had not yet received a serious scientific challenge to the paper, and that a response in the AFAN newsletter consisted largely of personal attacks and that “. . . its few substantive criticisms are attributable to ignorance of the experiment, of the CPI and of basic scientific methodology”, which makes me wonder whether these folks have the brains of the average canine, since even dogs have the good sense to wander off and lick their wounds in private.

Do I jump right onto the bandwagon or do I consider both sides of an argument? Federation Hall is an awesome facility undeserving of the type of whining and complaining it has been subjected to since its inception. Ask one of the many students who made road trips from McMaster, Ohio State, Ridgetown College, and Ottawa U how they felt about Fed Hall. Quit being so goddamn unappreciative of this facility. Our staff work very hard to make it a safe and enjoyable place to eat, drink, and dance. Why do we cut you off when you’ve had too much to drink?? We don’t want you to die falling off of the PAC roof or by hitting a lamp post with your motorcycle. Why do we ask you not to slam dance? Because the majority of you don’t enjoy having your neck wrenched or
being slimed by some sweaty drunk. Let me make this even clearer: None of our staff (especially the bouncers) enjoyed working at the recent - Forgotten Rebels pub. After work that night no one was talking about how much fun it was throwing someone out the door. It was just the opposite - very quiet. The staff reflected with disgust upon what had just happened. Many wondered whether it was worth dealing with so many hassles for a mere $5 an hour. I’m sorry Charles if you didn’t have a good time that night. In the future if you want to slam dance and see blood on the dance floor, I suggest the Coronet. Besides their bouncers are much more cleanshaven and polite. Paul Marchildon Fed Hall staff

To the editor, Once again Imprint staff have proven to the rest of us why airheaded slam dancers eat up their crap journalism. Case in point: Last Friday’s Imprint article Wrestlemania at Fed Hall was a blatant display of excessive cutting up of Fed Hall staff by an ego-driven Imprint writer (Charles Mak). You shit-for-brains writers, you write such articles just so you can have a good time cutting up that place that every U W student wished never existed. Well having our shirts ripped off by slam dancers and being decked while removing these inconsiderate patrons was, to put it mildly, a fucking drag. Now that I have finished mocking Charles Mak I would like you to ask yourselves the following questions: 1) Am I a whiner and complainer or am I into constructive criticism? 2)

and personal God, especially in the context of the university environment. You may or may not find this example amusing depending on how often you may have read other articles of a similar nature. However, allow me to explain briefly in the remaining paragraphs how 1 have come to be convinced, more now than ever, that the above claim is true. Beginning my university career 1 felt that I was quite convinced that God was real in my life. But now as 1 look back, a lot has happened since then which has changed my whole way of thinking. I suppose this is good in a way because now 1 feel that my vision has been expanded considerably and that I am a lot more open-minded. But, to make a long story a little bit shorter, my belief in God has been knocked around, bruised, scorned and basically rejected as being irrelevant to the modern way of thinking. Due to my exposure, for example, to psychology and philosophy, although having learned much in these subjects, 1 have been forced to re-evaluate and even question my beliefs to see if they still hold up to the resistance. Yet this basic belief (as mentioned above) now stands even more firmly in my mind than ever before. The more 1consider the incredible intellectual and creative capacity of us as human beings, the more I am amazed at the even greater capacity of the one who set us in motion in the first place. Looking from an engineering perspective, as 1 do, it seems absurd to think that a creator was

not behind all of this. 1 myself am humbled at the capabilities that I have been given to write essays, ‘debug’ computer programs, reason with professors about marks etc. I feel that this is an appropriate attitude toward my maker whose capabilities far exceed mine. This leads me to my final point. I firmly believe that the very reason why the world is in such a mess (even though man seems to be solving all his technical problems) is not due to the nonexistence of God but due to the fact that mankind refuses to honour Him as God and therefore in general is self-centred and motivated toward his/her own ends. Without making it sound too simplistic, I think that mankind’s basic solution, then, is to-be reconciled to God as Creator and the one who knows us better than we know ourselves. And to summarize in ‘a nutshell what the evangelical movement is trying to get across, the way of reconciliation to God has been made possible through the work of Jesus Christ and can be obtained by anyone who sincerely desires to humble themselves before God. To bring this article to a close, then, 1 would like to challenge you as the reader, in light of what 1 have said, to consider the possibility of allowing God to have His rightful place at the centre of this educational institution and the centre of your life. In a world of change He has not changed. C. Porter Mech. Eng. 4B

Faculty members in the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry * are welcoming a change in regulations under the Ontario Health Discip 1i n e s AC t w h i c h p e r m i t s optometrists to make greater use of drugs in their diagnostic work. Until now, the only use optome1) trists have been able to make of drugs has been for anesthetics, used in the measurement of intra-ocular pressure, and to help fit certain types of contact lenses more easily. Optometrists have been lobbying for years for permission to use drugs a that would help them in their diag-

noses of eye problems. “The new regulations bring Ontario into line with other countries,” comments Dr. A. P. (Tony) Cullen, UW optometry professor and Associate Director of the School, noting optometrists can use such drugs in most other provinces, in the United Kingdom, and in most parts 6f the United States. The drugs in question are applied on the surface of the eye, not injected, he says. He says UW optometry students have been instructed for years in the use of mydriatic and cycloplegic drugs and the College of Optome-
PRE-GRAND OPENING
t&s of Ontario has recommended that those members who have not had such training refrain from doing so until they have attended a recognized professional updating program, such as the one offered by UW. He says mydriatic drugs dilate the pupil and permit an easier and more thorough examination into the back of the eye, as well as providing for better photo documentation. Cycloplegic drugs are used to control the focussing of the eye, making it easier to determine its refractive status.

Painting co. to offer better wages for summer jobs
A large summer-time employer of students has revamped its payment and benefits structure. The changes were made after a large proportion of students in the l employ of College pro painters complained of an unfair payment system. New wage options, guaranteed bbnuses, and better training of painters are promised for this summer. Last year the students complained about ,an unfair, compulsory piece rate payment scheme. According to College Pro representative Jill Fairbrother, slower painters did not benefit near as well as the faster painters. There was too much competition to do rush jobs, she said. l Fairbrother is trying to receive publicity for the changes, she says because “people might think we’re a bad employer when we are not anymore”. With the new plan, painters will
have the choice of an hourly rate or a piece rate at the beginning of each job. A guaranteed bonus from $0.25 to as much as $0.50 an hour for every hour worked during the summer will be awarded by the Toronto head office to painters who complete their specified work term. Ten hours of in-class training including safety awareness lessons combined with on the job training now leads to certification as a College Pro Painter. An hourly wage is paid during training. Managers will also undergo better training than in the past. Fairbrother hopes improved managers will also alleviate some problems. The average hourly pay for a painter is $6.50 per hour. This can vary as low as $5 an hour to as high as $8 an hour depending oh the area. A good piece rate wage works out to vary from $7 to $9 an hour,

A book plate in each volume will identify it as a tribute to Mr. Horton. “These very special books will not only be a fitting tribute to Tony Horton’s career, they will alsobe of research value to future generations of architects and planners,” says Murray Shepherd, university librarian. Sii of the 12 volumes are on hand. The balance are not yet published; they are expected to arrive within the next 18 months.
A 12.volume set of books which published the drawings of Frank Lloyd Wright, famed American architect, has been purchased by the University of Waterloo library in memory of S.

Distance education serwces studied l
The University of Waterloo’s co-ordinator of mature student services, lsobel MacKay, has a new facet to her present job; she has been appointed adviser to the university’s Teaching Resources and Continuing Education (TRACE) office on support services for correspondence students. UW has approximately 6,000 such students coast to coast across Canada. Most of them are in the “mature” student category; that is, beyond traditional university age they are housewives, businessmen, sales clerks, and so on. MacKay has already started on two projects: (1) examining the support services UW is now providing to see how effective they are for persons studying at a distance, and (2) looking at how correspondence students interrelate, to determine how feasible a network of student-initiated sup port groups across Canada might be. As for the services UW can or should provide, Mackay says many areas can be strengthened and cites. pre-enrolment counselling as an example. She says student needs must also be fully understood before the university can develop appropriate programs for them. As for student-to-student relations, Mackay is a firm believer in peer sup port and hopes correspondence students will take advantage of recently-produced lists which group them geographically. These enable students in the same area to contact each other, set up study groups and lend one another mutual support. With university funds tight, Mackay does not expect UW to be able to establish study centres such as those found in the United Kingdom’s Open University.

Greek s’ocieties Controversy
by Andrea LUXOR Imprint staff The fate of fraternities and sororities at UW will likely be determined by a student referendum later this year. A Federation of Students committee struck last September has decided a referendum is probably the most effective way to settle the controversial issue. There are currently two fraternities and one sorority active on campus.
The sole sorority of UW’s Greek Societies is Kappa Gamma Phi. The group holds open meetings and many scheduled events on and off campus. Some of these include brunches, parties and movie screenings, with community involvement\ by some of the members in the Big Sisters organization. Central to the sorority’s existence is the promotion of what its members call sisterhood; they actively encourage interested women to join. They look for new members to come out to the many social events held and become committed to social and community events. Their role is not to besubservient to the fraternities but to work with the fraternities. They don’t expect members to exclude other interests but in fact encourage involvement in extracurricular activities. The group has established an executive and the number of Kappa Gamma Phi sisters is now more than 20. Their Greek letters stand for certain virtue. Virtuous attributes promoted within the group include striving for ’ excellence and community involvement. Kappa Gamma Phi’s Wanda Backus said she wantsto dispel some of the uneasiness the university’s women’s Centre has about sororities. The Women’s Centre, which has been at the forefront of the arguments against recognition of fraternities and sororities, has expressed fears of discrimination and elitism. “We as women of the sorority are concerned with the Women’s Centre but cannot as a Greek Society compromise ourselves or we would no longer be a Greek Society,” said Backus.

DELTA In OMEGA
X CHI
Two fraternities exist on campus. The first-one to arrive on campus was Delta Omega Chi. The purpose of this fraternity, say organizers, is to cultivate and maintain the high ideals of friendship, justice and learning. The fraternity serves as a campus group striving for excellence. The academic and social needs of the members form a basis for friendship. This friendship is called brotherhood - an intangible feeling based upon shared experiences with a tightly knit group of men. This fraternity engages in charity work, supporting the Big Brothers organization as well as participating in fund raising projects for other causes. A charities bank account has been set up for such purposes. Its goal is to promote school spirit and camaraderie. The newest fraternity on campus is Phi Delta Theta. Their stated intention is to strive for such opportunities as leadership and personal development, interaction with nearby chapters, association with distinguished alumni, active
likely to be settled alumni clubs and many more. Phi Delta Theta bills itself as a “Fraternity for life.” An alumnus has the opportunity to continue his association with the fraternity by serving in , many capacities. Despite the benefits these groups Say they will bring to UW, many students and student groups are vocally opposed to official Federation recognition of fraternities and sororities. The growing controversy over the future of such organizations prompted the Federation to investigate the problem. An ad hoc committee was formed six months ago to study fraternities and sororities and their role on campus. After several meetings, this committee V came up with an acceptable report for the student council earlier this month. Between the most recent meeting and the first such meeting on September 21, however, a good deal of ground was covered, with both sides in the dispute having the opportunity to air their feelings. At the first meeting presentations were made by Pam Boettger, a neighbour of the Delta Omega Chi house on Euclid-Avenue, and Mark McKay, a member of Delta Omega Chi. \ Boettger expressed no real concerns about the fraternity house; in fact, she said she liked the members’ views and ideas. She did however express dislike for the occasional loud music and the parties and was somewhat upset with the attitude during the parties. She also disliked the abuse of alcohol. She said she was impressed with the management of the house and it’s exterior and grounds. She questioned their charity toward neighbors and didn’t like their evasiveness. She said most of the problems could be resolved through communication. McKay gave.a general background of the history of Delta Omega Chi, which was established in 1985. He outlined the charity work that has been done which includes: Federation of Students Canada Day celebration, Red Cross and Big Brothers danceathon. At that time, McKay was requesting Federation recognition to allow them to hold parties on campus in South Campus Hall. He saw that the purpose for the committee to set a form of existence for future fraternities or sororities. One of the biggest criticisms of fraternities (and sororities) has been the same-sex membership requirements. McKay addressed this issue by saying that women are allowed as alternative members (no voting rights), but under the regulations of the Sigma Chi parent group, full membership was not feasible. (Delta Omega Chi received its nat’blnal charter from Sigma Chi earlier t?.f : month). In a general discussion which followed, Women’s Commissioner Sharon Chimming said the university should control the recognition mechanism for fraternities/sororities/Greek systems to prevent discrimination. She was also worried about discrimination in the future. The admissions policies are based on bylaws and do prevent discrimination. In January, 1985, a $500 start-up fee was required by Delta Omega Chi. A member who couldn’t pay the fee could work for it, but there was concern about the justification of the fee. There was also a question about the responsibility of secrecy. In the third meeting on November 12, 1986, the fraternities expressed a need for recognition so that their groups would be allowed to sit on committees and help the university as an organization instead of doing it individually. Chimming was is favour of that if and only if there was no
on. campus by student
segregation of sexes and if there was a trial open membership in fraternities and sororities. She said the Federation should not recognize fraternities/sororities unless those terms were met on the grounds the groups were discriminatory. Council member Tim Macneil said, “there was a means of recognition and if the group goes bad there is a means of removing their recognition on campus as well as alternatives for the fraternities/sororities” Federation President Scott Forrest reclassified the committee’s mandate. He suggested committee members review the policies and bylaws of the Federation to see if there existed any contrary policies and bylaws. The fourth meeting was held November 19. Forrest recapped a meeting with Pat Bark and the possibility of change Delta Omega Chi to a coed fraternity. This was ruled an impossibility by the fraternity. Angela Evans of the Women’s Commission raised concerns about the mediation and whether or not all concerned parties, such as GLLOW, would be represented. She also wondered whether all concerns would be represented including all “common ground” concerns and if the chairperson would be neutral. Forrest suggested a student mediator as chairperson working with a proposed outline. Former Federation president Sonny Flanagan said the speaker of council should be the person to chair the meetings. Goals had to be set and a presentation had to be made to council. Matthew Cox proposed an agenda for the next meeting in order to give the committee a clear path. The fifth meeting was held November 26. Evans asked that the committee get Community Justices Initiatives in to mediate the meetings. This would leave UW Ombudsman Ray Owens, chairman, of the meeting, free as a person to go to in case of disputes that occur at the meeting. Questions were raised about the cost of Community Justices Initiatives and who would be paying for it. A passed to secure from Community Justice Initiatives two mediators (one male and one female) to chair and mediate the meetings. The method and amount of payment was to be decided by the Federation executive. .

At the next meeting, a representative from the Community Mediation Service, Chris Hutchinson, came to discuss the mediation process. She requested that committee members appear at individual sessions before they got together as a group. She also clarified the mandate from the student council. It was decided that the group was to be nonconfronting with a unanimous consensus on issues to be submitted to the report. Terry Chalmers was identified as the impartial chairman. Certain rules were established which included: making recommendations, the possibility of coming to the student council meeting to present view, and the option to attend and make presentations with permission through Chalmers. It was agreed that short- and longterm goals must be set The long-term goal was to have the recommendations to the student council two weeks before their meeting. Short-term goals included making a time limit and deciding on the form of recommendations that would be presented. The statement from the committee was to be unanimous. At the next meeting, January 15, the committee membership was decided

The members of the committee include: Mark McKay of Delta Omega Chi, Mark McColeman of Phi Delta Theta, Wanda Backus of Kappa Gamma Phi, Sharon Chimming of the Women’s Commission, Ozzie Ogis of the International Students Board, Angela Evans of the Women’s Commission, Owen Price of GLLOW and Terry Chalmers as an impartial councilor. At this point Scott Forrest expressed his interest in joining a fraternity to the committee through a letter that would be written to Delta Omega Chi. Chimming decided to write an open letter to state the position of the Women’s Commission on this issue. Chalmers wanted something written down by each member of the committee on what they wanted the mediators to address. Backus expressed that at the Greek council meeting has the goal of being recognized by the Federation of Students of/the Inter-Greek Council. An agenda was struck where the choices for recognition were expressed and they were: recognize frats and sorority’s individually and recognize the Inter-Greek Council. Would there be no involvement or involvement by. the Federation of Students? if yes, how much? Queen’s University’s problems with their fraternities and sororities. At Queen’s, a trial was held for the~frats and sororities and they were found guilty of violating the policy established to control them. As a result, they were banned from the campus. The format of the report to present to council was decided upon and it was thought that there could be three sections - work toward the recommendation, establish how much control the Federation of Students would have over the fraternities and sororities, establish the role that they would have on campus. It was decided at the mediation meetings that each member of the . committee would have to submit separate reports to be compiled as a report to be-submitted to the student council. At meeting prior to the student council meeting,. individual committee members were to submit their reports and all members except those from the fraternities and sorority submitted their report. The report was delayed by a personal problem within one of the fraternities. The committee’s report was submitted to council on February 13. It stated that the committee was unable to come up with any conclusive recommendations. The objective of the report was to show to*council both the common ground and all possible recommendations. Ideally their role on campus would be: spirit building, academic excellence, alumni support, scholarships, charity work, quality of student life, intemational academic exposure, importation of American beliefs and values, possible future funding from the Federation. However there were a number of concerns: disregard for Federation policy, discrimination on any grounds, manipulation of student politics, elitism, hazing, secrecy of some rituals, responsibility of the Federation to the students. Chimming in her report stated that in the Federation of Students’ Policy 16, which addresses “clubs” states that, ‘*The Federation of Students will not recognize any club which practices discrimination in acceptance of its members or executive members . . .” It continues, “any member of the Federation of Students shall be eligible for membership and shall normally be_ come members upon recognition given .by the club”. The Women’s Commission supports recognition of student

groups under this policy. Fratemities and Sororities restrict membership to the sexes that correspond to either, she said. They also encourage selective membership based on criteria such as “common ideals and goals.” These groups then, do not meet the criteria set out in Policy 16. GLLOW had concerns about - discrimination through sexual orientation, sexuality, elitism, racism, nationality, and setting dangerous precedents. The International Students Board had a concern about racism; the U.S. fraternities and sororities, from who the Canadian groups will be receiving their charters and will be affiliated to, have a long history of racial discrimination and in the long run may appear on campus. Other concerns included discrimination on the basis of nationality and discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation. In the Federation report, Chalmers saw three options that the Federation of Students may choose from: - Recognize fraternities and sororities plus strike policy goveming and limiting their actions. - Do not recognize fraternities and sororities. - Ban fraternity’s and sororities or any organization with Greek letters in its name, by campus _ referendum. With the three criteria in mind, there was a student council meeting held March. 15. At that meeting, the following motions were approved: Be it resolved that: The Federation of Students hold a referendum to allow the student members of the Federation to make the. decision of whether or not the Federa-
at UW
tion should recognize fraternities and sororities and how that recognition should be done. Be it further resolved that: The referendum date and maximum expenditure be set by the incoming board of directors, keeping in mind that the referendum should be held no later than November 15, 1987 and if possible, be held in conjunction with the CFS (Canadian Federation of Students) referendum. Be it further resolved that: The wording of the referendum should be as follows: The Federation of Students is currently looking at the issue of recognizing Fraternities and Sororities. The proposed method of recognition is through the formation of - 1) An Inter-Greek Council (EC) which is comprised of eligible fraternities. and sororities and guides and controls the actions of its members; 2) A disciplinary board which investigates any improprieties and recommends any possible recourse to student council. The members of the board are one’member of the, Women’s Commission, GLLOW, student’s council, ISB, and the president and vice president of the I.G.C., F.O.S. and two administrators (one being the dean of students). It was also proposed that the fraternities and sororities shall- receive the following services of the Federation: a mailbox in the Federation office for the IGC; the ability to advertise in Federation media (ie. Federation handbook and Orientation kits); ability to participate in clubs day; receive Federation cosponsorship for events which benefit the entire campus; booking of University facilities subject to regulation by the administmtion.
It is also proposed that: the fratemities, sororities, and the IGC shall not receive any individual Federation funding; the above mentioned are unable to book Federation Hall and/or the Bombshelter; the above mentioned a.re unable to use university facilities of any type for any meeting or activity where any non-Fraternity member is barred from attending. The referendum would then require each student to decide whether to approve or not approve of the Federation recognizing fraternities and sororities under the above guidelines. The committee members felt it has been a long journey but at least something substantial was accomplished in the long run.

MLEETING. by Todd Schneider and Gord Dumin Imprint staff
I: [To Cleaver] You took some pretty hard questions in your radio interview on your connections to Jerry Falwell. One caller asked you about that meeting with the Ku Klux Klan. L: Yeah? What happened? C: I went to Jerry Falwell’s church and spoke there. He took me into a back room and said “I want to introduce you to some people.” I went and there was some Ku Klux Klansmen. One of them had been a regional leader, who resigned and became a member of Falwell’s church, a Christian. So we sat down and had a very pleasant kind of understanding-. ..

I sat at the University of Georgia, at Athens last year, with a little booth, with a table this big, and it was for the pledge of resistance, I don’t know if you’ve heard of that . . . there was a lot of people signed their names, who said they were gonna get arrested if something happens, if they’re invaded. And I just had information about that, and I had 200 very angry university students around me, because 1 dared to question that administmtion, and I hadn’t said a word.

If the CIA knows we’re on this plane, they’re never gonna let it get to California.” C: I tried to get off that plane. k I was on a plane with Dick Gregory, in Sioux City, Iowa. 1walked in there, and Dick said, “oh, shit, no.

What’s Yer Proble’m? by Don Kudo Imprint staff
Hot on the heels of the release of their debut album, The Future Of The World Is Up To Us, Dun+ nville’s own Problem Children took on Kitchener’s Level 21 last Saturday night. The enthusiastic air the band brought to K-W was due to the success of the album rising high on Canadian campus radio charts, sales that have forced a second pressing to occur, and solid bookings for the next few month. And besides, it was Jamie’s birthday. 3 Lead guy Jamie Problem (if you like that name, try Barney Rebel on bass and Gary Indiana on drums) at the precious age of 22, is the head problem kid. Though not gifted with the smoothest pair of pipes, his rauhis adept b cous vocals compliments handling of loud buzzing guitar. While emitting messages of youthful rebellion, or while being propelled about by the driving Problem Children sound, Jamie carries on with the cool frontman antics that exudes the excitment the band’s show generates. d
AII-Beethouen
The group’s hour long set of Saturday night, like their music, was tight. They varied the pace at the appropriate times with periodic slower breaks such as the crunching reggae interlude, reminiscent of Stiff Little Fingers doing The Specials‘Doesn’t Make ItAlright, during Fuk Yuz AU. The variance in musical attack was well welcomed by the large crowd and front row thrashers alike allowing for recovery of ears from distortion and elbows. While Problem Children proved that they can thrash it out with the best of them, along with presenting melodic and unexpected twists in their music, opening act Social Suicide attempted to set speed records throughout their overly extended set until the drummer ran out of gas. This left the quartet from Bran&&d to finally end their appearance with three uninspired covers. Problem Children are riding the waves of the success of The Futur.e Of The World Is Up To Us. With the touring that they are currently undertaking, their energetic live show can only augment sales and aid in a bright future for these dudes from Dunnville.

Finale hiahli crhtshis own works u
by Peter Lawson Imprint staff 0
An all-Beethoven program concluded the Focus On Beethoven series at the Theatre of the Arts on March 24 and 25. Entitled “Himself”, the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony program, guided by Raffi Armenian, ) briefly higlighted the development of Beethoven’s music from his Sextet to his Eighth Symphony. The program developed chronologically, beginning with the Sextet in E-flat major, Opus71 which was ,, composed between the years 17951797. Its unusual instrumental combination, two clarinets, two horns, and two bassoons, renders it a novel piece; and the interplay of the two main solo instruments, the first * clarinet and the first bassoon, al* most has the dimension of a double concerto with a four piece orchestra.
’
The rhythmic pulse of this work was well represented especially the concluding movements Menuetto, quasi allegretto and Rondo, Allegro. The solo gems of Cedric Coleman on bassoon were in evidence during the delicate phrases of the second movement, Adagio, and Victor Sawa on clarinet was equal to Mr. Colemanduring this section after an edgy start in the first movement. Victor Danchenko, a Russianborn violinist who now resides in Canada, was the Symphony’s guest soloist. Mr. Danchenko, backed by almost 25 players, tackled the beautiful violin Romances by Beethoven. Believed to have been composed in 1801, the Romance for Violiri No. 1 in G major, Opus 40 and the Romance for Violin No.2 in F major, Opus 50 shine with brilliant melody, contrasting the many structured, rhythmic works of Beethoven. Mr. Danchenko’s presentation of these

melodies slightly emphasized an approach for note detachment, accompanied by a vibrant tone quality. The effect was pleasant but lacked grandeur when- the rhythmic sections failed to grab hold. The final work, Symphony No. 8 in F major, Opus 93 written in 1811 to 1812, was grabby. This vitality
can be attributed to conductor Raffi Armenian whose stage mannerism wou,ld make the “Twenty Minute Workout” look like a cake-walk. If a podium had been staged, maestro Armenian would have toppled from that rise (or with such wild movement got himself thrown out of Fed Hall), and this boisterous energy
filled the 30 players. Next year’s four concert series, at the university, hails the music of the Baroque Era, especially J.S.Bach. Though not just Baroque music will be the focus of this series but music throughout history which was strongly influenced by the Baroque masters.
Winter still ‘ ktiockin’ em dotin despite obstacles by Mike O’Driscoll Imprint staff It’s a long way from Texas, you’d think the blues might fade by the time they got here. They don’t, at least not when it’s Johnny Winter whose carrying the suitcase full. The southern legend put in two appearances at The Highlands in Cambridge this week, Tuesday and Wednesday, blistering minds with endless solos and grinding out the up-beat passion that’s made him famous. Sweat. It’s not a long way from Cambridge, but the blues survive even this far north. Local rockers The Nationals opened the show, digging deep into the roots of blues for their choice of covers. The band restored a pair of classic, un-accredited, numbers from the 193Os, did.justice to the likes of Muddy Waters and Aretha Franklin, and ooooozed out a promising mix of their own work. More sweat. As always, The Nationals’ guitarist and front man Brian “Redhot” Cober dazzled the audience with his unique and fluid style. Cober grips the guitar neck from above, chord-
ing and fingering as if he were playing a lap pedal-steel. While the style is original, the sound is definitely Winteresque - a great choice for an opener, and a hot way to warm up the crowd. Sweat sweat. With the sell-out of blues groovers in good shape Winter himself had no problem keeping the energy level happening. Probably the most amazing thing about Winter is that after 43 years of living, 32 years of
Pretty
good
music
rocking, and several years of the 01’ nasty needle, the man still cooks. His music is 78.33 per cent solos, which in most cases would send a show nose-diving into monotony, but the guy’s work is versatile and ‘emotional enough to carry the weight. Winter’s playlist included a few selections from his latest album, 3rd Degree, including Moio Boogie and
Shake Your Moneymaker. But, while Winter also worked in some numbers from his previous two albums, he virtually left his older, and better known, tunes untouched. Slightly disappointing, but not sur: prising when one considers that he was on-stage for little more than an hour. However, it’s quality not quantity, and brains will still be ringing long after the ears are back to normal.
for a corpse The Highlands is a far cry from the rough dives Winter started out in. He doesn’t have to carry a gun in his case and a knife in his boot anymore, his guitaring kills. The man’s had a down and dirty life, and it shows. His forearms boast a few more tatoos than he had at his last appearance in Kitchener, and he’s still as pale and emaciated as ever, maybe even dead. But who cares? Pretty good music for a corpse.

After the emotional outpouring which was my review of Otis Blue and Otis Redding’s Dictionary of Soul, it’s quite hard to get worked up to review another Otis record. . . but here goes anyway. .As a compilation, The Qtis Red: ding Story is as definitive a summation of an artist’s work as any. The music .covers the majority of Otis work for Stax Records and except for a couple of notable exceptions (two Sam Cooke songs), his best recordings. Each of the two volumes contains a four-page booklet which outlines Otis’ career over the time period that the two volumes, lovingly written by Rob Bowman. It includes excerpts from exclusive interviews with those who knew and worked with Otis, which Bowman conducted while in Memphis. The notes are thorough, personal and written with a great feeling for Redding’s records. The albums covered on Volume
by PaulDone Imprint staff In the usual media blitz which surrounds very major records releases, a lot of records got lost amid the Broooce hoopla which went on before before Christmas. One of the better records which got lost was London 0 Hull 4, the debut release for British pop heroes, The Housemartins. In England, the LP was propelled to Top 5 status by the smash single Happy Hour, whose No. 1 placing was one of the real surprises 1 of last summer. Now that the customary decade has passed since the British release of Happy Hour, the song has been put out as a single in Canada. Happy Hour was one of the best songs on the London 0 Hull 4 album and here, by itself, it loses none of its zippy splendour. P. Heaton’s singing is as emotive as it gets and their polemic is at its most cutting. Another song from the LP, Sit-
1: Mr. Pitiful covers four of Otis first five records: Pain In My Heart, The Great Otis Redding Sings Soul Ballads, Otis Blue and The Soul Album - the cream of his recordings. The best of his songs during this period were the deep soul ballads which earned him the name “Mr. Pitiful”. Of these several really stand out. These Arms of Mine , one of his only songs without horns and also his first hit single, along with Pain In My Heart come from the Pain in My Heart LP. Chained and Bound and That’s How Strong, My Love Is, originally recorded by O.V. Wright, from the Soul Ballads LP. What is perhaps his best ballad, I’ve Been Loving You Too Longis included in its superior LP version., Otis also turns in impassioned readings of Sam Cooke’s A Change is Gonna Come and William Bell’s You Don’t Miss Your Water which, along with Louing You Too Long came from bOtis Blue. Finally, Just One More Day and Cigarettes and Coffee are from The Soul Album. Along with these timeless ballads, the best of his faster material is included like Security, the original Respect, and the stomper I Can’t Turn
You Loose.
If you want to learn about Otis or merely enhance your standing as an Otisophile, you need look no further than The Otis’Redding Story.
ting On A Fence is included at no extra cost and it’s even better than Flag Day. Presuming that you’ve already bought the album, you know all about these two songs. So, the songs that you’re going to be dishing your bucks out for are the two which aren’t included on the LP: The Mighty Ship and He Ain’t

Heavy (He’s My Brother).
For The Mighty Ship The Housemartins seemed to be trying to do a tribute to the (sadly departed) Bluebells. The Hard Day’s Night instrumental, harmonica-fuelled rave-up would fit right in on Sisters, The Bluebells’ only LP. The second unreleased song, He Ain’t Heavy (He’s My Brother) compensates for the instrumental song with an a cappella rendering of this hippy classic. On this song, P. Heaton’s awkward melisma becomes at times, an uncontrolled yelp. At other times though, he growls with great fervour, turning this song into another Housemartin semi-triumph. Thanks to CFNY’s repeated playing of Happy Hour this single should be a reasonable hit and another notch on the belt of Britain’s princes of polemical pop.

Rumours continue to run rampant concerning the future of Creation Records. The question is whether or not current throne-sitter, Alan McGee, is planning to abdicate. Adding fuel to the fire is the iatest release from former leaders of the Creation pack: The Weather Prophets on a WEA subsidiary Elevation which is being run by - you guessed it - our boy Alan. Quite a departure for The Weather Prophets, the songs are no longer ye slow drones of olde that Peter Astor brought with him from the wreckage of The Loft. In fact, with the exception of a sleepy version of Who By Fire (should any acid casualty be faced with a looming question mark, it is the Tim Hardin song) the songs are quite lively, Especially so is the sing along title track She Comes From The Rain produced by Lenny “Mr. Nuggets” Kaye (“Hello., Nuggets-baby? We’ve got ourselves another nutty-pop situation . . . To be straight, babe, we were wondering if you could lay another James thing on it? Babe? Still readin’ me?). It’s April showers, May flowers and girls in dreams of which they sing, likely with half smiles but for Astor that’s progress. The sunny feelings carry through to You Upset The Grace Of Liuing When Yoti Lie very nearly matching the majesty of its title. Top prize however goes to a rumbling re-recording of Wide Open Arms (from the Diesel River collection). Astor takes the original at double time and backs it with some cool fuzz and a rhythm guitar line that hasn’t been heard since Get Smart! was cancelled. Let’s just hope they don’t run out of whatever they’ve been eating before they finish recording the new album (It’ll be on WEA so pray for a domestic release my children or . . . . . . God will kill me!). This doesn’t Pdbk good for Creation.
What makes this volume exceptional (thorough and informative song-by-song notes by Otisologist Rob Bowman and cool pits from the Daddy Booth archive accepted) is the inclusion of two tracks never a before commercially available. by Tim Imprint

Volume 2 of The Otis Redding Story is subtitled ‘Deep Soul’ and that it is. The two-album, 30-song collection concentrates on the “Big O’s” grittier recordings of his late period, with the entire second record’s material drawn from pas’ thumous releases. There’s no denying the sweeping beauty of his ballads (showcased on Volume 1 of the set), but for my money, the gut bucket soul that could erupt even in his sweetest moments (refer to Try A Little Tenderness) is a truer representation of Otis Redding. As Wayne Jackson recalls, “He’d just get right in front of you with his big fist up in the air and strut and sing that stuff at you until you were just foaming at the mouth. He’d just have you so excited.” That about sums up the “gotta-gotta”pace of this sweaty collection.
Stay In School was recorded by Otis in 1967 for a ‘promotion only’ album of the same title sent to grade school libraries across the U.S.A. As the title suggests, the song is an , encouragement of children to continue their education which is said to have been written by Otis on the spot and cut in a single take. Sure it’s nonsense but his power and urgency can still be felt. . a Made famous by Wilson Pickett on the Wicked Pickett LP, You Left The Water Running was recorded by Otis as a demo at the request of Rick Hall in order to “entice Wilson Pickett to record it.” Otis’ version, of questionable orig-’ + ins (I’m sure there’s a story here someplace) , bristles with the same passionate fervour he might have worked up for a Friday night session at the Plantation Inn and in retrospect seems to have acted as a tern- -c plate for Pickett’s version. Essential.

AR!rs,
by Paul Done Imprint staff Long before Malcolm Ross got a sensible haircut and became a member of Aztec Camera, he had a shassv mop and played guitar for le Scot :ish pop legends-Josef K. YVS
sic pop groups: the legendary Orange Juice, the equally legendary Go-Betweens and, for a short while, the almost-legendary Aztec Camera. This was pop with soul and brains. Half a decade later, a handful of unreleased Josef K tracks have been unearthed and released. Of the four tracks, one was recorded for a John Peel Session in mid-1981, one is a demo which was recorded in early 1980 and the remaining two are from their unreleased LP which wasn’t recorded in time to be released before Postcard Records’ demise. The records they left behind are masterpieces of brittle, early-‘80s pop. Josef K’s singles were better than their lone LP since they always had a far liver, more immediate feel. The tracks on this EP have the same clarity as the singles. In fact, one of the tracks Fun’n’Frenzy from The Only Fun in Town appears here in pristine form - leagues better than the murky version found on the album. The song on the A-side, Heaven Sent, is a perfect distillation of that heady Postcard sound: spiky guitars, tight, melodic rhythm section and a pop sensibility which transcended the likes of Joy Division, who were an influence felt far more tangibly in Josef K than any other Postcard group (of course, there were less than 5 “Postcard groups”). Further, Josef K weren’t afraid to sing about Iurue, even if their perspective was a bit twisted. The epic Radio Drill Time on the B-side (at least four minutes long) demonstrates the post-punk influence most clearly. A drumbeat lifted from Joy Division’s She’s Lost Control, electronic effects like Znsight another JD romp, and a spacious arrangement make this a supremely effective atmospheric piece. Unlike the other groups which sprang up in the wake of punk, Josef K’s sense of pop history, which extended back beyond the Doors and even the Velvet Underground, gave
Likewise, before Paul Haig‘ever became obsessed with bleached bowl cuts and white Fender Jaguar guitars, (and long before his band Rhythm of Life left him while on tour in Japan - where the audiences had convinced them of their star status) he too, played with Josef K. During their term on the legendary (I’m not finished with that word yet!) Postcard Records, Josef K churned out a slew of legendary singles along with the semi-legendary Only Fun In Town LP - their only LP.-In the early ‘8Os, Postcard records (of Scotland) was the home of some of clas-

by Tim Perlich Imprint staff April 1st is the date of The Fuzztones’ first-ever appearance in Canada, and we fortunate souls will have the opportunity to see New York City’s- garage meister’s live in 3-D at the City Hotel! It’s anyone’s guess who’ll be standing on stage with vocalist Rudi Protrudi and the charming and talented VOX organist, Deb O’nair (whom many will not recognize from Das Furlines without her Viking-babe wig) but if their Live In Europe L.P. is any indication, it should be a scorcher. Recorded during their 1985 tour, the album consists almost entirely of covers (which, of course, is the-accepted norm for this genre) and as the liner notes say “11 of 13 cuts never on vinyl before” (although this cl.aim may hold for legal releases, any members in good standing of the CULT OF FUZZ will tell you that four of those eleven songs ap-
some lush string Brrangements to create an interesting whole. However, this song is the exception to the rule, most others being fair to middling. The first side is kicked off with Where Are you Going?, a straight ahead pop song about the futility of a college education, followed by Fly by Night, an- atmospheric, Robin Scott-like bit of night music. The side is closed with Sex and 44olence, a boisterous attack on an obvious target, TV sex and violence. Side two, aside from featuring the aforementioned Jihad, also gives you Mary Joseph, which slags organized religion, and Call Me
peared on the ’ Lonely Sort of Death recording made that same year). Live In Europe shows The Fuzztones making some primitive, sterno-fueled assaults such garage punk monoliths as Bad Little Woman, Human Fly, the Outcasts’ 1523 Blair, the Count Five’s Psychotic Reaction. They’re at their nasty best when Rudi’s allowed to-slither over the less treaded, sex-soaked ground of 13 Women (and Only One Man In Town), Gotta Get Some, and The Stooges’ I’m Loose. From all accounts of Protrudi’s lifestyle (many rumours thought to be self-propagated), the songs seem to have been written with Rudi in ‘mind. The one surprise (besides the Fuzztones/Dr. -and the Medics/Rat Scabies mass choir version of G-LO-R-Z-A on a limited edition flexi included with the first 5,000 copies of the album) is that the album is completely Sonics-free. Enormous Sonits fans that they are, you’d think that there would be at least a Green Slime or a Strychnine but alas, not so. You can be assured of hearing one or two next week along with their own instant classic Bad News Travels Fast. It’s guaranteed to be the baadest rockin’ blow-out of the term . . . Paul who?
nee ANY WAY YOU SERVEIT:
Lucky, which is not a good song at all. The difference between the two sides is clear; the first is pop-oriented, the second, made for dancing. The musicianship throughout is good, and a few of the songs have reasonably catchy hooks. Witness the thick, breathy organ on Mary Joseph or the raunchy guitar smatterings on Sex and Violence. The record’s major shortcoming, however, is the hackneyed lyrics which afflict the tunes. The band’s tired attacks on easily hit targets is annoying and bothersome and, ultimately, makes much of the record a chore to listen to.

by Tim Perlich Imprint staff At last New Zealand’s favourite sons, The Chills, are back in the studio with phase 9 of the line-up. I Love My Leather Jacket is the second EP to be released through England’s Rough Trade (the first being Made Up In Blue by The Bats). It appears that now that Rough Trade has bought the rights to Flying Nun Records, they plan to eventually make available the entire back catalogue. , Planned for immediate release is a collection of material recorded by what is considered to have been the greatest band ever to spring out of New Zealand: The Clean and a swell collection from the often lovely Sneaky Feelings called Waiting For Touchdown. And now we return to The Chills. . . Sticking with the same skewed popstyle that has earned them little or no fame or fortune, The Chills have plucked two more oranges from pop music’s apple tree. On one A-side, the cold ones show that they can create the same airy tension live as in the studio with the moody two-minute epic The Great Escape. The other A-side, I Love My Leather Jacket has a similar buzzing pulse that was largely responsible for Pink Frost’s dense spirituality. Since the song is barely three minutes long, I’ll let the lyrics speak for themselves: I wear my leather jacket like a great big hug Radiating charm - a living cloak of luck It’s the only concrete link with an absent friend It’s a symbol 1 can wear till we meet again Or it’s a weight around my neck while the owner’s free Both protector and reminder of morality.

Book review: The Telling of Lies
Thriller by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff One might well be excused for wondering just what Timothy Findley, one of our foremost novelists and recipient of the Order of Canada is doing writing a murder mystery, unless, of course, the Findley coffers need some filling with a guaranteed best-seller in the Jackie Collins/ James Michener non-literary market. Findley got the best-seller, but, as his fans will be relieved to know, has achieved it on his own terms. The Telling Of Lies has almost every element of the classic thriller (except the Mickey Spillane cliches) enough intrigue, narrow escapes, and suspects (with the notable absence of any butlers) to keep the lamp on your night-table burning well past midnight - but it is more importantly a masterful work of characterization. Seen through the scrutinous eyes of Vanessa Van Horne, a greatly respected and high profile photo-
may be Findley’sbkst grapher and landscape architect, The Telling Of Lies follows the aftermath of the death of pharmaceutical magnate Calder Maddox who spends each summer with the rich and famous and stodgy at the Aurora Sands Hotel in Maine. At first glance it would seem to be due to natural causes, Maddox being a living dictionary definition of “decrepit old man”. But minute clues are dropped that give an portentous feeling that something is amiss. Lily Porter, Calder’s middle-aged mistress, .goes into seemingly paranoid hysterics, refusing to call the police; Nigel Forestead, a slovenly, perfectly odious lower official of Canadian diplomacy, promptly arrives on the scene immaculately dressed; and Lawrence Pawley, Vanessa’s doctor cousin, says it was a stroke, but she can tell he doesn’t believe a word of it. Three negligible details that would pass unnoticed by most people and already we have three suspects in a death that hasn’t even been confirmed as a murder yet.
to date
of voice and inconsistencies of character, not authorial commentary, create suspects out of virtually every character. However, the thriller aspect of The Telling of Lies is very consciously down-played by Findley. Never letting the reader get too wrapped up in the mystery, Vanessa continually breaks off from the plot to give witticisms and insights into the people of the Aurora Sands Hotel. She can tell virtually everything you need to know about a very minor character in a single sentence or quote such as when she quotes. one of her neighbours at the ASH as “I speak eight languages, wing, you know.” Later, the apparently scripted arrival of the mysterious Dr. Chilcott and Lawrence’s discovery of Maddox’s body in a freezer confirm all suspicions and Vanessa and Lawrence become unwilling sleuths, but it is Findley’s characterization which builds suspicion. Subtle inflections
But Findley’s real genius is in portraying the politics and decorum of friendships and social interaction. Vanessa must nod to Arabella, the unofficial presider over a group of matronly, respectable old women known reverentially, but not affectioriately, as The Stonehenge, but it
would be improper for he; to strike up a conversation with Arabella of her own accord. And as the plot develops, we see the strains and alterations placed on friendships by the tension of an unsolved crime and strange turns of events such as the appearance in the bay of a titanic iceberg. Everything that’s the slightest bit out of character leads to suspicion. Routines and attitudes toward old friends suddenly change; old friends are no longer trusted and people realize how little they know about each other. The Telling Of Lies has something for every literary scholar. Ruminations on the effects of aging, a deconstructionist mingling of fact and fiction, a tongue-in-cheek look at the American government (with a president named Warner - as in Brothers - and an incompetents meddlesome secretary of the interior - Watt was his name?), and tour de force characterization. It might justfiction be Findley’s work of to date most brilliant .
Virgo ending stay as writer-in-residence by Mike O’Driscoll Imprint staff Author Sean Virgo presented this year’s concluding literature reading at St. Jeromes College on Wednesday. The reading marked not only the last course in this year’s literary feast, but also the fulfillment of Sean’s final duty as the college’s writer-in-residence. Sean chose to read several selections from his forthcoming novel, Se/&hi, noting that for him, concluding the work has been one of his most important creative ventures during his last two years here. The novel will be officially released in the third week of May, but may be available on campus even earlier. It’s taken him five years to complete what he describes as a fairly lengthy and definitely complicated piece of prose.

Ho dad! But, just prior to that, at the Horseshoe in Toronto on Saturday evening (March 28), R & B monster Hank Ballard and his Midnighters twist out at the behest of Eliot Lefko and his mall-chicks. Note Eliot Lefko will also be presenting a surf/garage-type week (starting April 6) at the Bamboo featuring the aformentioned Fuzztones, as well as the Gruesomes, the Fleshtones and the Shadowy Men. For further details, look in the latest Now, or watch for a bespectacled Don Johnson-lookalike prowling at the Eaton Centre food court. For those who like to get bounced from Fed Hall, Level 21 presents the Thrashers (rockabilly) on April 11 and Neon Rome on April 25. More of the same style of music is to be presented at the Victoria Park Pavillion on Friday April 3. Toronto’s hardcore heads, No Minds, and Montreal’s industrial rockers Doughboys will be a hard td beat feast of aural blast. For a more toned-down lifestyle, the K-W Symphony will continue to swing through April with an all Russian program on April 10-11. The Philharmonic Choir sings the Verdi Requiem on Good Friday, April 17.
Selakhi was inspired by a threemonth stay in the Solomon Islands, and according to Sean is “told one step above Pigeon English, it’s in the fractured English that_ uses the grammar of the native tongue.” It is, he says, an exploration of his fascination with language, and with story telling. “Apparently my novel is about the different ways stories are told . . . and sometimes the most primitive forms of language tell the most fascinating stories.” * Fascinating seems to be appropriate word here. The novel is a tale of a somewhat delinquent young poet, described by Sean as an “obnoxious little sod,” who chooses to “go native” and retreat to the culturally remote island of Selakhi. The format allows Sean to explore that environment and the depths of the island culture, and as well to “explore the
collision between an adolescent, egotistical, and quite brilliant, individual with a society and culture that does not understand individualism.” What was read of the work was definitely tinged with the exotic, from which follows a complex mix of language’ and imagery. -The precision of Sean’s writing is evident, and is something that he has consciously attempted to achieve: “Although I am someone who gave up defining himself as a poet, -some years ago, I treat prose, I treat the language, I treat the cadence, I treat the precision @h which we try and pick words, in the same way as poetry.” For the many young writers on campus that have turned to Sean for criticism that precision is something he has attempted to impart. However, Sean claims he has no desire to be a “Guru”, but would rather
simply examine what the students are trying to achieve, and help them to reach their goal in their own way. “We’ve all got-our own private u&verses now . . . you have to go throughout your own private vision and your own private reading and how it’s in your writing, or suddenly you’re forty years old and you’re a clone.” Mention should also be made of Sean’s work in the field of drama. The Trickster, for which he wrote the script, was an attempt to meld various artistic forms including dance, drama and music. “It’s a time when people in various performing arts are realizing that they can talk to each other and get energy from each other . . . I hope it’s something that can go on into the future.” For Sean the future is a i Jturn to the private life follc>wing two years of
public life. He’ll be moving to a small Ontario town to write, and to work on various projects that span the _ _ . breadth of fiction, drama, and film. He says the life of a writer-in-residet?ce doesn’t allow for a lot of personal creativity, and he’s looking forward to the retreat Prior to his reading, Sean passed on a few words, that he admits bordered on sentimentality, which should serve as a parting gesture to the University of Waterloo: “I’ve been very happy at the University of Waterloo, and I am very grateful for the sponsorship that that institution as a whole has given me, and that some individuals have. But specifically, I’d like to thank St. Jeromes, I’ve made a lot of friends here and the hospitality . . . . . and support has been wonderful.”
Happenings Guest sbloist will include the mother-goose of Canadian Culture, Maureen Forrester. On campus at the Humanities, the Broadway show, Pump Boys, rocks itself during the first week of April (check posters for dates and bucks). Also the K-W Gilbert and Sullivan troupe presents Pirates of Penzance (or something like that) during mid-April (again read posters

*Butterfly by Peter Lawson imprint staff
*HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
The return engagement of the New York City Opera National Company at the Centre in the Square was as satisfying as their debut performance two years ago. Verdi’s Rigoletto was their Kitchener premiere, and on the recent date Tuesday evening, March 17, this touring company of the New York City Opera Company presented Giacomo Puccini’s Ma: dama Butterly. For a touring company limited to a simple set and a compact orchestra, .this performance, though, short of riveting, contained many fine moments. Originally completed in 1903 after three years of work, Puccini continued to revise Butterfly until 1911. The libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica, long time collaborators with Puccini, tells the tale of a young, naive Japanese girl who is unwittingly shamed by an American sailor. Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, the American sailor, unscrupulously marries and then abandons this charming, swayed geisha, Butterfly. Butterfly, after her hope of love is shattered, ends her life with the Japanese honourable death and the

satisfying
drama is complete. The great music of Madama Butterfly has secured its place in the standard repetoire of opera, but the ,libretto is more than simple prattle. The cleaver humour of Pinkerton being ribbed for arrying a 15 year old girl (ah - anocner tenor on a J-B hunt) or the ironic line spoken by Pinkerton that love never kills (exc.ept . . . ) adds dramatic depth. Puccini worked very hard at presenting dramatic and musical integrity. For Madama Butterly he researched the customs and tones of Japan, and these Japanese folk melodies are used to emphasize the traditional rituals in this drama. The power of the ending, Butterfly’s honourable death, is musically built on Japanese folk but with Puccini’s grand cadences. A small flaw in the National Company’s presentation was the orchestra which was ragged during some of the exposed sections in the first act. Puccini’s orchestration acts as a vital dramatic devise, using the instruments to foreshadow and recall events or to support melodies under recitative, and because of this importance, Puccini’s music places great demands on the orchestra. The final crashing notes from the
pit, which signify Butterfly’s death, fell short of the horrifying tragedy. Vocally there were some fine moments from this touring cast. Butterfly (Cio-Cio San) was sung by soprano Louisa Jonason who possesses a beautiful tone with the exception of a few colourless “ah:’ vowels. She showed her might at the end of act one by gracing a high note at a whisper volume - stunning. Kenneth Shaw, singing the role of Sharpless, is a tall (very), lean dude whose baritone voice swooned throughout the production. Send him to Italy for a building operatic diet, and he may be a renowned voice in the years to come. Tenor, Paul Hartfield (Pinkerton), has a steady tone quality though his high notes got lost in the orchestra pit. The second evening of New York City Opera was overall a sound night. The visuals of the compact set and simple costumes added support, quietly. The only questionable aspect of the staging was not fully drawing the curtains. The curtains were drawn only enough to border the set, but this heavy cloth would absorb vocal vibrations. Consideration for a set border which is a reflective surface may better push the voices over the orchestra.
Irish tenor Patterson sings/to willing crowd at Centre show by Peter Lawson Imprint staff

Considered today’s “Greatest Irish Tenor”, Frank Patterson sang to a devoted house at Centre in the Square on Sunday evening March 22. Preceding each set of Mr. Patterson’s music, comic- Des Keogh poked fun at Irish institutions. Des Keogh, a seasoned Irish comedian, barbed Irish intellectualism (or lack there of), Irish culture +(the kind which flows from a bottle), and the “holy” Roman Catholic Church. His religious anecdotes *were ironically suited for this evening - the show was arranged by the

century by Charles Marshall, IHear You Calling Me became one of McCormack’s great triumphs, selling more than a million records; and Mr. Patterson’s presentation was commendable except for the use of falsetto for the soft high “G”. That difference in tone quality undermined the lyric flow, though the use of the falsetto effect was effective in the Irish ballad Gallauray Bay. Other Irish ballads included old standards Danny Boy and Rose of Tratene and new Irish songs Fields of Athen Rye and Four Green Fields.

Hardware distributed at UW awards banquet by Mike McGraw Imprint staff It was time to hand out the hardware last Friday night (March 20) at the Waterloo Motor Inn. The occasion was the annual University of Waterloo Athletic Awards banquet, officially capping off the 1986-87 university athletic campaign.
mate Margo Fraser won the Director’s Award for administrative contribution. Imprint’s much celebrated Coach of the Year Award went to hockey skipper Don McKee. With McKee at the helm, the Warriors made a quantum’ leap from mediocrity (11-11-2 in 1985-86) to big time success this past season (16-4-4).
many an opponent this season also took honours as the team’s MVP and top rookie. Other Warrior MVPs include Krucker, Dave Shaw (football), Chima McLean (golf), Tony Stea (rugby), Peter Bier (alpine skiing), Cam Mahon and Jack Simp(nordic skiing), Scott son Robinson (soccer), Jamie Allen (squash), Dave Cash (swimming and diving), Scott Murphy (volleyball) and Scott Murray (water polo). Rookies of the Year were Nick Cipp (cross country), John Clark (basketball), Jim Mitchell (football) and John Denny (track). Mike Martineau received the Doug Shuh Memorial Award for top football lineman.

Honoured as Athena MVPs were Cindy Poag (basketball), Linda Vevette (field hockey), Linda McCurdy (alpine skiing), Sue Schlatter (nordic skiing), Diane Hutchison (squash), Joanne Towner (synchro swimming), Margo Fraser (figure skating), Kelly Boulding (track), and Ulrika Zugelber (cross country). Top rookies included Karen McCulla (basket ball), Bonnie Caywood (figure skating), and Ann Hovey (volleyball). The festivities spell the end of yet another banner athletic season at Waterloo. The fact that at two times this past season, no less than four Waterloo teams were nationally ranked is a true sign of the outstanding athletic ability at this school.
Moore
Among the big winners were Harvey Mitro and Paul Boyce. Due to the fact that one could publish volumes listing their achievements at Waterloo, they shared the prestigious Totzke trophy as male athletes of the year. Mitro, who is being lauded as the greatest middle distance runner in UW history, was an All-Canadian in indoor track this season, and held an unblemished record in OUAA competition. This is a mere smattering of his accomplishments on the cinder oval. Mitro also took home the Men’s Intercollegiate Council Award. Naturally, he was Warrior track MVP as well. Boyce topped off a magnificent basketball season with his selection to the All-Canadian squad. He leaves Waterloo ranked 10th or higher in every statistical category in which hardwood facts are kept. Highlighting this package, Boyce has snagged the most rebounds in school history. He also notched the HageySiegfried roundball MVP trophy. On the Athena side of things, swimmer Kate Moore and volleyball star Anne Jordan shared the spotlight as recipients of the Dean of Women’s Award for female athlete of the year. Both also took the MVP awards in their respective fields. The Women’s Intercollegiate Council Award went to skater Barb Brubacher, while pond team-

ago, the new
and improved Waterloo track team finished its indoor season. The seven-member contingent competed at the Canadian Interuniversity Track championships held in Saskatoon. Needless to say, the team performed extremely well in light of its numbers. Leading the team was power-house Harvey Mitro who shared the honour of male athlete of the year and MVP for the Warrior track team. Harvey placed second in the 1000-metre event in a time of 2:24.2 and fourth, in the very strategic 1500-metre
1974.
Marnie Tatham, head diving coach from 1973 to 1980, and swimmer Ron Campbell join Hayes in the Hall of Fame. Tatham coached five CIAU Divers of the Year in her seven-year tenure at Waterloo. Campbell dominated pools everywhere from 1976 to 1979, a period in which the Warriors snagged their first-ever CIAU title. He hauled home tonnes of metal in three consecutive trips to the CIAU championships. Overall, 22 Waterloo athletes were OUAA or OWIAA all-stars in 1986-87. In addition to Boyce, Mitro and Moore, diver Claire Younge and cross country’s Andy Krucker achieved AllCanadian status. Warrior hockey backstop Mike Bishop was Rookie-of-the-Year in the CIAU.

Another Ball Hockey season came to an end last week, but not before some exciting playoff games. In A League, the Bombers showed not mercy as they highlighted their undefeated season with an 11-3 victory over the Fighting Aardvarks. The Bl final was much closer as the SJC Ballers downed the Magic Rats 4-2. In the B2 final, Dr. boom overcame a two goal deficit and eventually beat the Icemen in overtime. In other B League finals, Eviction Party defeated How Your Jigger 5-4, and the Coral Reefers edged the Civil Serpents by the same 5-4 score. WOMENS BASKETBALL by Sheila

The Womens Basketball League has dome to an exciting close. The South Savages and Alley-Oopers battled it out in the B final. Both teams had troubles finding the hoop in the first half as the exceptionally low half-time score of 5-4 indicates. Such was not the case in the second half; the two sides showed their offensive offensive abilities which had eluded them earlier. ,The Alley-Oopers’ aggressive full-court press along with some excellent perimeter shooting by Heather Martin, was more than the Savages could handle. It was a well-played match on both sides, but the Alley-Oopers prevailed, the final score being 3221. Two not unfamiliar teams occupied the court for the A final. Larry’s Byrds and the West B Oldtimers were up to provide the fans with yet another fastpaced, competitive, grand finale.
THE * MOSTUNIQUE
The Oldtimers took the early lead, but the Byrds were not intimidated. They stuck to their style of quick out-letting and fast-breaking, until they had closed the gap by half-time. They forged ahead in the second half, led by Lynne Parent, who had 7 in the game for the Byrds, and by Carolyn Sossi, who provided leadership on the court, as well as chipping in 6 points of her own. The tall Oldtimers, namely Brenda Naylor and Liane Lafreniere, raked in rebound after rebound, but could not sink the easy shots. Jen Hinton found her range from the baseline, and Kari McAllindon was hot at the foul line, as both scored 8 points. The Oldtimers’ last hope seemed to fade when floor leader, Maria de Melo, acquired her fifth foul. Both teams are to be congratulated on a great game, and the Byrds in particular, who were victorious once again, with a final score of 37-26. BROOMBALL
TOURNAMENT

McGrinder
March 23 was the final night of a fun-filled and exciting two week-period of play of the Campus Ret broomball tournament. In the men’s tournament, based on results from the preliminary games, all teams were placed into four different flights, ensuring equal competition between all the teams. The women’s tournament was a round robin, which was then divided into two separate flights leading to the final games. Both men’s and women’s games were highly competative and exciting to watch. In the women’s B championship games, the Radical Snowflyers II reigned victorious over the Love Godesses with a score of 2-l. The presence of an organ (the musical kind), and. several en-
thusiastic fans, heightened the sense of excitement in the A league final as the Scrambled Squad defeated ICY’Rs, 1-O. Starting at 9:06 pm. the men’s highly competitive and fast paced finals began. An excellent game of broomball was played in the men’s A final, in which S.F.F.H. was victorious after a sudden-death overtime. The B League was equally competitive, as the Greek God’s and Co-op Cloppers fought it out to a win for the Greek God’s, 1-O. In the C league, the Sys Pistols walked away with a well deserved championship title 3-0. The turnout was fantastic for the D flight final as the C.S. Grads took over to win 2-1.

On March 14, at the University of Guelph, Waterloo stirred the waves and won the annual university lifeguard competition. The seven teams competing were Guelph, the Royal Military Coil lege and two teams from each of Univ. of Ottawa and Queen’s, as well as two exhibition teams from the City of Kitchener. Waterloo’s team was made up by Bruce Faires (coach), Lisa McKelvie (captain), Mack Summers, and Brad Boyd. Alternates were Donna Lank and Dave Readmen. Competition consisted of three separate events beginning with a swim relay in which Waterloo stood first in the standings. The second event was the first aid event in which each member of the team was given an emergency situation to deal with individually. Waterloo combined their individual scores and once again came in first. In the team life-guarding event, Waterloo did not place first but they maintained their lead and won the overall competition.

The apartments are unfurnished units, but have been designed to accommodate water beds and large per unit electrical loads. Fridges and stoves, of course, are supplied. Fees have been set in the $250-$26Q.per bedroom per month range, The last month’s charge of the twelve (12) month plus utilities. lease is payable by the payment deadline date for the Fall ‘87 term, approximately August 15, 1987.

Current policy sets a minimum occupancy of 3 persons in a 3 bedroom unit and a maximum of 4; a minimum of 4 persons in a 4 bedroom unit and a maximum of 5. Maximum occupancy, will of course, reduce the per person per month rate significantly. For example, at $250 per bedroom per month, 4 persons sharing a 3 bedroom unit (e.g. two couples, each sharing a bedroom and using the third as a study) would come out with a per person rate of 187.50 per month, plus their share of utilities.

A flat rate for utilities will be charged on a monthly basis. Occupants consuming less than the flat rate will be rebated. Occupants consuming more than the flat rate will be billed by the Co-op.
