Fed AGM to focus on bylaws

by Mike Brown Imprint staff Sweeping by-law changes for the Federation of Students were recommended for adoption by council at the Federation of Students’ March 20 meeting, The council meeting was the final one for the 1987-88 executive of

Ted Carlton, Andrew Abouchar, and Lisa Skinner.

A structural review committee of the Feds is requesting that all current bylaws be revoked and that the revisions be put to the test at the Annual General Meeting. March 29 marks the date of the AGM when the bylaws are scheduled for a vote. The meet-

Carlton and the gang pack up

by Marie Sedivy Imprint staff The end of March signals the changing of the guard for th_e Federation of Students. Recently Imprint talked to the old guard, Ted Carlton, president; Lisa Skinner, vice-president (university affairs); and Andrew Abouchar, VP (operations and finance] as they reflected on their past year in office.

Now that his term is coming to an end, Carlton will be heading back to school; he is scheduled to graduate in April next year. For the next year, he’ll be back to being Citizen Ted. There are several reasons Carlton decided not to seek reelection.

“My approach has always been that a job like this is one you only do one year. You work as hard as you can for that year, arid then make a clean break. UW is one of the few universities where there’s a tradition of people running for two terms.”

Carlton also feels the student president has to remain in touch with the student population.

“1 haven’t been a student for a year now, and if I were doing a second term it would be two years. I

think someone representing the students should be astudent, not a professional student politician.”

In addition, he said “it is healthy for the Federation of students to have new people coming in with new ideas.

“And I wouldn’t mind graduating.”

According to Carlton, the biggest political issue the Feds faced during the past year has been on the subject of co-op fees.

A breakthrough occurred earlier this week when the Senate passed a motion accepting the Federation’s version of what, a co-op fee should be. Carlton said this indicates that “people outside of the Feds are worried about the fairness of the fee.”

Another accomplishment has been changing the perspective of how the Federation sees its role in the university.

“The direction for the Federation should be more of a catalyst for debate on campus issues, primarily academic issues. Students can have an impact on academic issues through the Federation of Students.

ing will be open to all undergraduates at the university.

Copies of the changes are distributed at the Federation office.

Vice-president-elect (operations and finance) Shane Carmichael dissented from the council’s decision to go ahead with recommending the bylaw changes. His reasons are rooted in his stated dissatisfaction with the complete bylaw changes.

Carmichael asked the council “to let the students decide without a council recommendation.”

Independent Studies councillor Robert Hubbs didn’t see a problem with the council making an informed decision since the executive was consulted and questions were asked about “What doesn’t work?”

Arts Co-op representative Tim Jackson said, since a committee of council (the structural review committee) made the changes, the bylaw changes were acceptable for a council recommendation. After all the discussion, the Fed council recommended complete adoption of the bylaw changes without any reservations.

The council heard the report on the OFS Student Week of Action. The U of T student council’s void in support of the event concerned members of the Fed council. The Federation’s liaison to OFS, Darren Meist er, explained U of T’s Student Administrative Council (SAC) “thought the march wouldn’t be a succes3.”

President (elect] Adam Chamberlain cited several reasons for Toronto’s opting out: Not enough warning was one reason, Chamberlain said, but the coincidence of U of T’s student elections occurring on the protest date was a major factor. The SAC also figured they deserved more consideration since poqtions of. the march took place on Toronto’s campus, he added. ~_

governors, passed by a narrow margin.

Carlton moved that the “senate recommend to the board of governors that the co-op fee revenue be calculated based upon the costs of co-op education maintenance costs and data processing costs of co-op education only.”

This was passed 25-23, but only after university Presie dent Doug Wright scrutinized Federation president (elect) Adam Chamberlain’s voting status. Chamberlain has been a member of the senate for two years: Wright appeared somewhat embarrassed, Although the motion was passed, Wright said, “it is improper to put to the board (of governors) that kind of ambiguity.”

He therefore recommended the budget be deferred until June as has been done on two occasions before.

Carlton’s motion excluded from the student-payable category the other allocated costs of marking and processing workreports and faculty administration related to co-op programs.

The exclusion of these costs would leave approximately $700,000of expense for the university to account for.

The rational behind such an exclusion is that tuition should cover some of the expenses cbrrentiy included in direct costs of co-op. There are two factors in defence of this omission.

First, the belief that tuition should include normal costs of education including instructional expenses, non-sponsored research, administration expenses, and physical plant operations.

Secondly, the total costs of co-op should include the total cost of

VP tackles issue of conflict of interest

by Mike Browa imprint rtaff A great deal is in store for the Federation of Students Annual General Meeting scheduled for Tuesday.

Conflict of interest is one topic the proposed bylaw changes address.

Out-going Vice-President (operations and finance) Andrew Abouchar sponsored the inclusion of conflict of interest preventative measures.

The Federation structural review committee supported Abouchar’s concern on the issue and adopted bylaw 1 Article VII1.D as apart of the proposal package which will be voted upon at the AGM, The article reads Neither the President; nor the vice-president, operations and finance; nor the vice-president, university affairs may be a chairperson or executive member of Q cIub or other organization receiving or petitioning to receive funds from the Federation of Students.

The second part of the proposal further states neither the resident nor the vice-president, operations und finance; may si n c 1 eques to organizations of which he or she is Q member and, in t1 e event that both the president and the vice-president, operations and finance are members of such an organization, the Board of Directors must approve the expenditure.

Andrew Abouchar conceded that attention surrounding the Canada Day issue is a subject for an “obvious finger to point.” A situation has arisen whereby Fed incoming VPOF Shane Carmichael will be an executive member of the Federation while also serving on the executive of the Canada Day Council.

Abouchar insisted the formulation of the conflict of interest measures were instigated because “this office and all the elected offices have the potential to be abused.” It has nothing to do with Canada Day, Abouchar said.

Carmichael is opposed to the conflict of interest stipulations.

A motion has already been submitted

by Carmichael which must be voted upon along with the whole bylaw package at the AGM. The Carmichael motion proposes the following be added after the portion of the bylaw disallowing Federation executive members to be on the executive of any other organization.

The motion reads This section not to come into effect until after the annual meeting held in the last week of the Winter term of 198% Carmichael’s motives for grandfathering part of the conflict of interest bylaw proposal for one year was unknown to Abouchar.

Carmichael answered that “everyone knew I would be Canada Day Chairman and vice-president at the same time - and I was elected.”

Carmichael said he feels the structural review committee which drafted the bylaw proposals is making recommendations which will not effect its own members: “it would be like changing the rules half way through the game,” Carmichael said. The VPOF (elect) maintains after a one yetir shelving of the first paragraph of the conflict propoaal,the

Answer: Well, it could mean the Tricarboxylic Acid hycle, a cycle my Chem. 333 class is all too familiar with after the last assignment. (Going around the cycle seyeral times can make one dizzy as I found out in -correcting them!)

In each turn of the TCA cycle, one molecule of acetyl - COA condenses with a oxaloacetate.

The resulting intermediate, citrate, then races around the cycle throwing out carbon dioxide and reducing equivalents every which way.

Other pathways pick up the reducing equivalents (similar to the collector lanes on Highway 401 near Toronto) and shuttle them away to reduce oxygen to water.

One interesting enzyme in the TCA cycle is aconitase.

This enzyme removes and re-adds water from citrate to produce isocitrate, The enzyme uses a mechanism involving iron to accomplish this - termed the “Ferrous Wheel” mechanism, or as we like to say in Chem. 333, the “Ferrous Wheel of Fortune.”

Around exam time one could call it the “Ferrous Wheel of misfortune. Good luck with exams everyone!

portant to spur students into thinking about their education in a critical way and to get them to do something about it.”

Carlton also emphasized the past year had been excellent financially, and feels the executive has been particularly strong and dedicated.

Carlton’s greatest challenge has been familiarizing himself with the various facets of his job.

“There are so many different worlds you have to deal with; staff, students, management, OFS, administration, business, etc. They’re all unrelated except that they affect students.

You have to understand some of their subtleties if you want toget anything done.”

Carlton offers two bits of advice, to the incoming Fed executive: “It’s important to be patient and avoid the temptation to get frustrated.

I genuinely believe the Federation can have an impact but it takes effort and time.

Also, take time to enjoy what you’re doing. It’s easy to get bogged down with little things and lose sight of the fact that you’re doing something interesting.”

His advice to students is to speak out for what they want: “If students are happy with the education and services, that’s fine, but if not it’s up to them to say so and do something about it. They can’t plead they don’t have an impact, because they can have an effect.

“Housing major accomplishment” After her term as VYUA ends, Skinner will head back to school for one term. She is scheduled to graduate at the end of the summer, and then she’s off to teacher’s college at Queen’s University.

While the past year has been a terrific experience for Skinner, she’s “not sure how much experience doing it again would have given.” In addition, she has spent three years at Waterloo, and is looking forward to a break.

Skinner considers her work in the area of housing to be her major accomplishment of the past year. She said that lobbying efforts have brought the issue to light, especially during the provincial election.

“The university and city had to make housing a priority,” she said.

Skinner currently represents Waterloo students on an on-going City of Waterloo housing commit tee.

In addition, Skinner said UW has become more involved in the Ontario Federation of Students [OFS) during the past year. “I think the OFS has more respect for Waterloo now - the marchis a good example of that.”

Housing issues have also presented Skinner with her greatest challenges of the year.

She said her term as VPUA has taught her to work with people from various areas. Also, she

has learned “to put personal feelings’aside and lobby for what is right for the student body.“’ Her advice to the incoming executive consists of two words: “patience and perseverance.”

She urges the student body in general “to get more involved.

There’s a spot for everyone.

At Waterloo we tend to put too much into the scholastic end, but you can learn a lot from activities. It doesn’t have to take up as much time as some people think, and you learn to balance your time.”

“I’m really glad that I got involved,” she concludes,

Abouchar moves on

out that UW has a high proportion of Ontario Scholars.

“We carve creativity out of people’s brains like it’s some sort of cancer,” he said.

Abouchar’s greatest challenge has been “trying to figure out how to best market what the Federation of Students does. The problem is that students aren’t aware of what we do and can’t access the services,” Abouchar offers several words of wisdom to the incoming Feds: “Two minutes after you’re gone they don’t even remember your name.”

He would also encourage them

Canadian

Abouchar is scheduled to graduate at the end of this term, and he feels it is “time to move on, time to do other things.” For the time being, however, he is not sure what- the future holds for him.

Abouchar pointed to the computerization of the Federation office as a major achievement of the past year. He considers the renovations at Fed Hall to be his most visible accomplishment.

In addition, Abouchar pointed out that the entire executive has recognized the need to address the quality of the undergrad experience at the University of Waterloo, “We have to look at what we’re doing to people who are intellectually inclined,” he sail! pointing

“If it is true and you can get it by the lawyers then go for it!”

Globe and Mail political columnist Stevie Cameron suggested March 19 to an audience gathered at Siegfried Hall, St. Ierome’s College.

Memorial Horst Leipholz, UW’s former Dean of Graduate Studies, died Tuesday.

Leipholz, who retired after 18 years at the university in 1986, remained an adjunct professor and researcher in civil and mechanical engineering.

The former dean came to Waterloo in 1969 from West Germany where he worked as an engineer and a consultant.

While at UW he received the Distinguished Teacher Award and authored several books and papers.

elected officials.

Parliament Hill has been an old-boys club for many years, she said, where politicians and journalists clearly understood unwritten rules of conducting thems_elves. . . ’ Today the windows are being opened and many are crying foul because the old standards are no longer being adhered to. She said personal lives and habits are private matters so long as there is not a carryover effect into one’s public life. The spending of personal money is also an issue into which the public has no right, but when character flaws exist which influence the conduct of an elected official they must be exposed, She used the example of Gary

services

Hart to show how a serious character flaw in a candidate for seoffice must be nior public exposed by the press using controversial methods.

Cameron said thev Amfrican public may c never have become aware or Hart’s faults if not for such investigative journalism.

In Canada, she said, the Gary Hart story and most certainly the Watergate scandal of the%& could never have been broken in the manner it was south of the border.

The difference lies in Canadian laws.

In Canada a newspaper must be able to prove all it writes, including any allegations. In the US,, a paper must have reasonable proof to believe a story to be true before releasing it. .In this regard, Cameron said, “Freedom of the press in Canada is a misnomer.”

His advice to students is “to stand up and say what they feel, especially in an examination of the university experience.

When, you’re involved, you have a richer experience: it provides you with a wider circle of friends, acquaintances, etc.”

His concluding words dents: “Good luck!”

by Ed Drasa and Andrew R&age Imprint staff A mild controversy developed in the Environmental Studies faculty over the removal of eight to ten trees Wednesday in front of the faculty’s main building. The trees were cut down to be replaced by a planned ecology garden to honour the late professor Robert S. Dorney. However, some students were confused as to why the trees, 2%year-old Austrian Pines, had to be chopped down so suddenly.

A plan for the garden which had previously been located in the foyer of the building was displayed near the site on Wednesday.

After the trees were removed same students attached signs to the plan, voicing concern over the site of the garden and the appropriateness of removing trees to hanour an environmentalist.

It seems that mast of the problem was over the suddenness tif the action. Many people weren’t aware of the plan for the garden, which had been developed last fall, and were caught by surprise. Even members of the committee for the memorial garden were surprised at the speed of the removal. The work order had only been placed on Tuesday, and the university had acted quickly, with a contracted firm having the trees down by Wed. nesday afternoon.

As far as the site, some members of the committee, which is made up of students, lecturers and professors, said that the, QX~Y .other site available for &L.&W was between Seagraql@&pd &y$IF . ,+r. ,* ic .1. /

WA~IIWS mur:

ing Lot A. The site in front of ES1 was deemed more appropriate as it was adjacent to the faculty ecology lab, and was actually where the late Dr. Dorney had favaured an educational ecological garden.

Dorney, who died last year, was one of the first professors in the School of Urban and Regional Planning, a department of the Faculty of Environmental Studies, and he was well-known in his field. He was a proponent of “natural gardening and farestry” and had already started natural gardens at his home in suburban Waterloo and an industrial park in the north of the city. He had also tried to get a site on campus but had not been successful.

His death last July prompted several people in Environmental Studies to develop the plan for the garden and to ask the university for the site.

Asked whether the late professor would have approved of the removal of the trees to make way far the garden, lecturer Eric Higgs, a friend and former student of Dorney’s, said “I’m quite convinced that he would not have had any difficulty with this.” Although it was unfortunate that the trees had to be chapped down, said Higgs, the value of the new garden as an educational tool and a natural ecosystem was more important., The plan calls for a complex system of trees, bushes, and wildflowers, all natural to the area.

Wayne Hsasman, a main proponent of the garden, stated that the previous ecosystem contained only nine to 15 species, ‘including the Austrian Pines that were cut down. He said that ;me’ trees, which are found else- ~

own in a few years, unlike the previous trees which reauired a goad deal of maintenanci.

Some of the concerns voiced by students dealt with the lack of warning for the removal of the trees, and the fact that an exiating stand of trees was removed when there was already too many open spaces on campus.

The supposed lack of infarmation and the unexpected speed of the university in cutting down the trees has stirred up this usually calm faculty.

-ES. Prof. Larry Lamb, meanwhile, said earlier this week the removal of the trees was made known last fall and that the students and faculty are in favour of the new garden.“The Austrian Pines that were there are alien to this area and of poor health, so we planned to bring in native trees and vegetation. What we want to do is create a forest situation ‘that would be distinct to ‘this area.

We also hope to attract some wildlife [birds, small animals, etc.] to the area.”

The new garden will benefit all those involved, “The trees will be a teaching resource as well as more attractive.

There will be a great diversity of trees for students to study. Also, the maintenance costs and efforts will be greatly reduce with. the ne.w garden. Most of the trees in the new garden will be deciduous trees that will give the area more colour and won’t be a dark as the pines.”

Media needs a shake-up

by Marc Brzuetowski Imprint staff When a member of the audience asked Barrie Zwicker how he knew the RCMP had bugged his phone ,he replied simply: “I’ve been active in the peace movement.”

Zwicker, author and media analyst, spoke about media manipulation, spies, and the public’s right to know March 17 at UW.

While he does not condemn spying under all circumstances, Zwicker feels “it is immensely corrupting. . . it is power.” Spies, Zwicker said, break all Biblical commandments, and “break others as well, like don’t be a son of a bitch.” But, citing stories of alleged Libyan hit squads, wouldbe Bulgarian Pope killers, and yellow rains in south-east Asia, he argued misinformation programs, fabricated by spy agencies and governments in the have gained past, “wouldn’t nearly the currency they did without . . . the mainstream media being faulty.”

The mainstream media (Zwicker prefers the term “malestream media”) is faulty because it is owned and controlled by the power elites, a “very dangerous but consistent practice where the media become megaphones for the standard line.”

Zwicker warned we must be skeptical, and alert: “it’s not that hard to stop stories that are not true.”

He also suggested the

Among Grade 13 students we are recognized as the most expensive engineering school in the province, “we may loose good students” said Carlton.

Robert Truman, of the operations department at Needles Hall, said the total extra costs of providing co-operative education at the University of Waterloo in 1987-88 totaled $15.91 million: $4.08 million for costs related to work-term activities, $7.17 million for costs of teaching extra sections required for co-op programs, $4.66 million for costs of providing support services to the academic activities on a year round basis.

UW also experiences an average shortfall of $1 million in government grants because of its co-op program.

The formula for distribution of government grants is such that it places the university at- a disadvantage with respect to the new base e8r tablished by the ministry of colleges and universities in March 1987, said Truman.

The co-op fee is predicted to increase by at least an inflationary 4.6 per cent. The possible range is $261 to $320 per term.

Although the co-op fee is at this time unknown, pending input from the ministry, Truman said, “I believe the fee of $320 will be sustained.”

Professor George Soulis from both Engineering and Management Science Departments is concerned about the possible deterrence factor of increasing coop fees. He said, “what they will pay counts” referring to economic principle of price elasticity. One must be very cautious in increasing the price without increasing the value or service.

Most of ten such an increase results in a decrease in demand,. he said.

There are many concepts of COop which are incorrect, accordIt is assumed ing to Soulis. students gain a financial advantage by remaining in co-op.

However, some students have studied this assumption and found it is a financial sacrifice to be in co-op. Usually co-op students go into debt to the tune of $5,000 and $10,000 and stay in school for an extra year, said Soulis. When the same student can earn approximately $28,000 in his or her first year working, he or she is definitely not better ’ off remaining in co-op.

phrase “alternative media” be retired in favour of “meaningful media”, a term implying the lack of meaning in the malestream.

As Zwicker explained it, the meaningful media is superior to the malestream media on the following counts: their subject matter is addressed comprehensively “to give background so often missing”; they are “up-front about disclosing the world view through which they interpret the subjects they deal with”; and the stories are thoroughly documented, inviting us “to go back and check.”

The meaningful media includes magazines like Mother Iones, and The Nation, in addition to such CBC programs as Ideas and Sunday Morning.

He used an account of the CIA’s decapitation policy, designed to rid anti-American nations of their leaders and manifested in the 24% tempts on Castro’s life (12 of which the CIA has admitted to), to illustrate his point: “A story like this doesn’t get picked up by the malestream media . . . as if they didn’t exist.”

In the interests of balance, Zwicker said he would like to see in the electronic media more documentaries and longer newscasts, though fewer of them, He alsq maintained “we desperately need a good radical newspaper, or two, in this country.”

Zwicker finished with some advice for the audience. Drawing from his personal experiences with spies and police forces, he said: “It’s very important not ever to be intimidated.”

Generally, university degrees are used as a pre-selection tool simply because good students usually attend university.

When the field of studies is not important, employers look for achievements in university outside the candidate’s field and general qualities such as potential, motivation, maturity, ability to reason and influence, general intellect etc. So, extra-curricular ilctivities are extremely important.

In areas such as research and development, special in-depth knowledge is important but the employers do look at other qualities as mentioned above.

THE GOLDEN THROATCHARMER,NOW ON DRAUGHTa

WE STINK! How many UW students actually realize the depths of indifference to which we have descended?

We often refer to the lack of concern permeating our campus but has an opposite example been drawn to our at tention?

I was struck emphatically by the contrast between UW and the London School of Economics (LSE) recently.

During reading week, I spent several days visiting my younger brother who is studying at LSE in England.

LSE may be one of the finest economic and political science academic learning grounds in the world, but it was not the classroom lectures which had the largest impact on me. Rather, the student body itself was the most remarkable aspect of the school.

Once a hotbed for socialism, the increased international student flavour at LSE in recent years has slowly evolved the underriding political currents.

Its reputation as the undisputed centre of student activism has not been lost though.

All students are members of the student union and follow the activities of their elected representatives with a watchful eye, Agendas of the weekly union meeting are posted about the campus and my brother mentioned I must attend a LSE Union meeting. I could hardly believe what he was saying - attend a regular weekly gathering of the elected union officials?

Why? Entering the large hall, I found it difficult to believe just what I was seeing and hearing! With the council table arranged at the front, the auditorium was packed with approximately 200 students and stragglers had to occupy seats in the balcony. The students had come to participate in “their” government!

As long as order was maintained, any union member could address the assembly on the issues of the day’s business.

Who would believe me when I returned to UW? How would I even tell my fellow students about a communal student government which not only accomplished its goals but achieved them with participation from the majority of its membership.

Back at Waterloo, I discovered the Fed election turnout had been an abysmal 20.8 per cent, How could I even begin to share with students this experience whbn they showed so little concern for their own welfare?

When will we, the student body of the University of Waterloo, stand up and be counted for anything?

If our lives and surroundings were perfect maybe we could be excused for our neglect of a desire for change but I challenge even one person to tell me such is the situatiqn!

Recently I spoke $t& i Poli-Sci student who had not participated in a single campus.electiJon in his two years at UW. I wondered what the hell he was in Poli-Sci for if didn’t even utilize his democratic opportunities?

I ask each of you, “What will impress the visitor to Waterloo about us, the students?”

Forget all that “geek” rubbish, our apathy is going to stink any visitor right off this campus!

John Mason

Reagan refuses OSCAR (Arias) Immediately after a special prosecutor handed three of his co-stars indictments for their roles in the Iran-Contra double feature, Ronald Reagan sent 3,200 of his Hollywood extras south to shoot on location in Honduras.

Obviously, the Sandinistas upset the star and his executive producers when they did not line up to buy American arms after their revolution.

Not too surprisingly, some sharp observers in Washington believed a nation as poor as Nicaragua, upon overthrowing its beloved dictator, would lose no time in inviting multinational economic stormtroopers down to replace annoying agricultural land with parking lots, bring in 31 flavours of tinned cat food, and build shopping malls to push poorly made goods in excess packaging.

Anyone foolish enough to pass on such a dream these observers labelled communist.

In the House of Commons last week, Joe Clark dubbed in the Canadian soundtrack when he said the government could not comment on the intervention due to a lack of credible information.

Students

must pay own way

To the editor, I’m sick and tired of seeing the one-sided discussion of our “under-funded” university system in Imprint, The UW Feds and the OFS think all students should mindlessly file in behind their leaders and like any lobby group, try to squeeze someone else’s pocket to fund their narrowly defined interests.

Students don’t have a “right” to a university education, “affordable housing”, or beer and stereo money as OSAP (Ontario Stereo Assistance Program) provides. Needs do not make rights.

In my opinion, there are too many students at Ontario universities.

I think universities should be allowed to increase tui?ion substantially in order to weed out some of the marginal students and increase the effective dollar per student of government funding.

If students from poorer families have to work a few years before entering uni-

versity, to pay for a larger share of the cost of their education then so be it.

The NDP party’s call for increased government funding is contradictory.

If the NDP really did champion the *‘average Canadian”, they would call for full user funding of universities since the average Canadian is not university educated.

Why should an uneducated blue collar worker foot the tax bill for someone else’s education?

This is es-

A brighter

outlook

To the editor, In response to your article “Student parents: coping with dual responsibilities”, 1 wish to address the misinformation and hopefully give a brighter impression of the lives of mothers who are also university students.

The facts concerning local day-care criteria are incorrect and can easily be clarifies by in-

terested parents.

A service does exist whereby care givers can reach parents on campus in the CaSe Of an UIIETgency. This is offered by the Mature Students’ Office* As a member of the Mature Students’ Advisory Group, I am aware of and in contact with mothers on campus. I also have a young son. Our purposes seem to be quite different from those expressed in this article. We are taking courses for the sake of, not in spite of, of our children.

The rewards of study, not only the monetary returns, are brought home to and shared with Our fami1ies.

Our children see by example the joys and excitement of learning. Even the youngest child soon learns that a book is a wondrous thing.

When will our society stop referring to our children as a type of limiting handicap?

I would hope that any children reading this or similar articles in 20 years do not liken the experience to our feelings of discovering we were con-. ceived in the back seat of a ‘57 Chevy.

The continuity supervisor, meanwhile, has fallen asleep allowing Ronnie to spout off about protecting the unborn’s right to life while funding **freedom fighters” who attack civilians but run away when faced by the Nicaraguan army. I cannot say whether protection for the sanctity of human life is not extended to Nicaraguan people because they are non-white; or because they speak non-English.

But notice how this nation’s government, from one end of the political spectrum, allows a political opposition from the other end to exist: more than can be said for politics in the United States.

Of course, Honduras did ask the U.S. for military assistance to heip it counter a Nicaraguan force attacking allegedly non-existent contra bases over the border. Yes, President Azcona read the invitation the U.S. ambassador had dictated to him.

And when attention shifts back to the Washington studios, more than a few people will be asking how much equipment and supplies the U.S. Federal Tour Company left behind for the Contras to find.

Still, who will break the giant’s fall is unclear.

The following article appeared on page 1 of the New York Times on February 11,1988.

From the Associated Press San Francisco, Feb. 10 - The Army’s ban on homosexuals was ruled unconstitutional today by a divided Federal appeals court that said homosexuals were entitled to vhe same protection against discrimination as are members of racial minority groups, “The discrimination faced by homosexuals in our society is plainly no less pernicious or intense than the discrimination faced by other groups” afforded protection, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said.

The Z-to-1 ruling was the first by a Federal appeals court to grant strict constitutional protection to hbmosexuals.and to prohibit a branch of the armed services from excluding people on the basis of sex$ual orientation.

1981 Regulation Cited In 1986, the Supreme Court upheld a Georgia anti-sodomy law that allowed criminal prosecution for. private sexual acts by homosexuals.

Lowel courts, including the Ninth Circuit in a 1980 decision by Judge Anthony M. Kennedy, who recently was confirmed to the Supreme Court, had allowed the military to exclude individuals based on homosexual conduct.

But the appeals court said today that the Army’s 1981 regulations go further by specifying a soldier’s sexual orientation, regardless of conduct.

A ruling that specific sexual conduct can be forbidden by criminal laws cannot be translated into “a state license to pass ‘homosexual laws’ - laws imposing special restrictions on gays because they are gay,” Judge William Norris said in a majority joined by Judge William Canby.

Fifth Amendment De&ion Judge Norris based his decision on the “equal protection” aspects for the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment, which he said barred the Federal Government from discriminating against homosexuals without a compelling justification.

In a dissent, Judge Stephen Reinhardt said that the Supreme Court in the Georgia ca!e held that homosexuals were not entitled to special constitutional protection, since their sexual conduct could be punished criminally.

Judge Reinhardt, however, condemned the Supreme Court ruling and predicted that [it) would be~overruled someday by “a wiser and more enlightened court.”

Leonard Graff, legal director; for National Gay Rights. Advocates in San Francisco, hailed the ruling. “I think it’s about time that the courts recognized that gay people have been denied their rights,” he said.

The Defense Department had no immediate comment on the ruling.

Edward R. Hawkins, an appeals specialist in the civil division of the Justice Department, said in a telephone interview from Washington that he could not say what the Government’s next st would be until he saw the ruling.

The appeals court ruled in the case Perry Watkins, 39 years old, who enlisted when he was 18 years old in 1967 and admitted on a pre-induction medical form that he had homosexual tendencies. *The ruling affirmed a May 1982 decision by the Federal District Court in Seatile, which held the Army could n discharge Mr. Watkins on the basis his sexual orientation because’ he h disclosed he was hdmosexual when was drafted.

At the time of tion, the Army d sodomy and othe but not for homo After the regulations were c 1981, the Army sought to disc Watkins and succeeded in 19 series of court decisions.

Army Told to Reconsider The court today ordered the Army to rec.onsider Mr. Watkins’s applic@on for‘re-enlistment without regard to his sexual orientation.

Mr. Watkins, who was a sergea& had been superv’isgr of the personnel administration center at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Wash., at the time of the initial court ruling in 1982. he was discharged four years short of the XI required for pension eligibility.

Mr. Watkins did not return a telephone call for comment.

Pentagon statistics show the four services diicharged 1,398 men and women on grounds of homosexuality in the last fiscal year, or about 0.6 percent of the active-duty force.

In the ruling, Judge Norris said the Army’s reliance on moral standards endorsed by much of the public as justification for the ban was rejected by the

Supreme Court in 1967, when it struckc down Virginia’s ban on marriages between blacks and whites.

HConstitutional Scrutiny” “Laws that limit the acceptable focus of one’s sexual desires to members of the opposite sex, Iike laws that limit one’s choice of spouse (or sexual partner) to members of the same race, cannot withstand constitutional scrutiny absent a compelling governmenti justification,” Judge Norris wrote.

Another Army justification, that ho.mosexuals would hurt morale and discipline, was an attempt to “illegitimately cater to private biases,” Judge Norris id, again using a racial analogy: “For much of our history, the milary’s fear of racial tension kept M-ack ted from whites,” he thinkable that the er .to the Army’s judgement that diers had to be seinteracial fensions.” id in his dissent: duct.

He cited a 1980 court in the case of Bowers vs. Hardwick, which upheld the Georgia statute criminalizing homosexual sodomy and- holding that homosexual conduct is not protected by the right to privacy.

Were it not for ‘-hat case, Judge Reinhardt said he would agree with the majority opinion that homosexuals must be treated as a suspect class under the Constitution’s

“The majority treats as a suspect class a group of persons whose defining characteristic is their desire, predisposition or propensity to engage in conduct that the Supreme Court has held to be constitutionally unprotected,” Judge Reinhardt said, .

Voided Washington, Feb. 10 - The/ ruling against the Army today by a Federal appeals court in San Francisco is one of the most important legal victories of ho- .*, mosexual rights, but its. chances of auyviving on abpezil .‘are “~otie\;S~ai ’ precarious.

The decision was the first in which a Federal appeals court has ruled that persons of homosexual orientation were entitled to the same heightened protec-’ tion against governmental discrimination as racial minorities - under the Constitution’s guarantee of “equal proI tection of the laws,” “It’s a pretty courageous and amazing decision and we’re very happy about’it ,” said James Lobsenz, a Seattle lawyer working for the American Civil Liberties Union who won the case on behalf of a man discharged from the Army because of his homosexuality.

But today’s ruling 8eernB to strain against the spirit, although not necessarily the letter, of a s-to-4 decision by the United States Supreme Court in 1986, which upheld state laws making homosexual sodomy a crime.

I Legal experts said a Government appeal was almost certain in such a case, but that rather than going straight to the Supreme Court the Government might ask’the full United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to review the case reached today by a three-judge panel of that court. ,If the case does reach the ,Supreme Court, some experts said, the outcome could depend on the vote of Judge Kennedy.

L Judge Kennedy rejected a challenge to Navy regulations discriminating against homosexuals in the 1980 decision, but his nuanced reasoning open the possibility that he might find some degree of constitutional protection for homosexuals on different facts.

In the 1980 decision, Bowers v. Hardwick, the Supreme Court firmly rejected a Georgia man’s claim that “a fundamental

In 1976 the Ontario government began a class vironmental assessment of the Temagami ReIn, The outcome of this assessment will decide e fate of Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial ,rk, its surrounding area [see map] and the fure of forestry in Canada.

CA.MPUS QUESTloN

Groups participating in the hearings will include the federal government+ Native Peoples, Forests For Tomorrow (a coalition of ‘five environmental groups), The Ontario Forest Industries A’ssociation, individual forest companies, many organizations and concerned individuals and the MNR. Last’january, 20 groups appealed to the Environmental Assessment Board for more than$l million in financing to prepare expert submissions for the hearings. The board has awarded$299,900 to six groups and three individuals.

Forests for Tdmorrow received the largest share with $134,000 and -four Native groups will receive $9,100 to $76,500 of funding. Meanwhile the MNR is expected to spend millions of dollars defending its proposals.

The hearings beginning May 10, 1988 in Thunder Bay are expected to take two years. The MNR will spend 12 months defending its proposals for managing 241,000 square kilometres of forests in the Temagami Region. The next year of the hearings will be devoted to chalIenges, submissions, and presentations from environmentalists, naiives, tourism operators and other interest groups. The token’amount of intervener funding given by cabinet- appears-to shift the odds in favour of MNR. Forests for Tomorrow feel they need $350,000 for effective participation, yet they received ody $134,000. The same situation exists for all groups participating.

Why is there concern over this issue? The Temagami Region contains many unique historic, archaeological and natural ‘features including: - one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites on the Can‘adian Shield; - the only known complete network of traditional aboriginal trails (some as old as 3,000 years); - the wo’ild’s only source of the nearly extinct aurora trout.

The environmental assessment is looking at foretitry province-wide but basing the judgtient on a unique area of Canadian wilderneti, Because this is an environmental assessment, everyone must remember that the future of forestry and resource conservation is at stake. Temagami is an example of the overall picture, The outcome of these assFssment hearings must reflect sound environmental conservation and a firm direction for perpetual forests.

in one of the

most difficult situations that many people have to face today: the fact that someone you know has admitted to being homosexual.

Let me point out some important facts. First, your brother had to admit to himself that he is gay, which takes a great deal of courage on his part: he had to come to terms with his sexuality in terms of our societal views, which can bring a scary realization that he is not only different from the norm, but is one of a minority whose members are often persecuted.

Secondly, your brother decided to “go public” with this realization; he has therefore decided that he cannot live in secrecy atid fear any longer.

Likely in telling his sister about his sexual preference, he feIt he had told someone who would be supportive and whom he could trust. Unfortunately, as is the case in many instances of this kind, the reaction was negative and judgmental.

This is a common reaction, and your brother likely anticipated some resistance and disbelief.

What he needs right now, however, is someone to listen to him and to understand what he is going through.

Biblical ethics say that sexuality and abortion are moral, not neutral, issues. It would be nice if we could just agree to disagree on this like we did before, but if abortion and sexual orientation are guarded by the Constitution, my ability to choose between right and wrong is impaired, and my view of morality made illegal.

US. action in Honduras draws local protest

by Marc Brxustowski Imprint staff Moved by news of the airlift of 3,200 U.S. troops into Honduras, local peace activists organized a protest March 17 to call for an end to American intervention in the region. Thursday morning, members of the Sterling Peace Centre began contacting supporters for the early evening demonstration, and by 6:30’ p.m.,, almost 100 people had gathered at Speaker’s Corner in downtown Kitchener. ~ Irene O’Toole, one of the organizers, ’ explained Canada should play a leading role in peace talks and said: “I want to see the government of Canada, in every way it can, strongly oppose U.S. intervention in Central America , . . and support democracies such as Nicaragua.”

Some 30 UW students from

Conrad Grebel, the Peace Society, and St. Jerome’s turned up at the protest, and Grebel’s Emily Weber felt “the more people we can get out supporting the action, the more the chance of achieving this goal” of American military withdrawal.

Asked why he came, Paul Voutier, a UW pure math grad student, replied: “To see if I can get my name on a blacklist.”

One passerby probably had this idea as_ hi walked past the group of students, shaking his head and muttering.

Ron Welker from KitchenerWaterloo’s Latin American Support Group said the intervention has “matiing the peace process next to impossible,” and called it repugnant: “there’s no reason for them to be in Honduras.”

Barbara Saunders, a UW grad student who visited Nicaragua as a Witness for Peace delegate,

urged the demonstrators to call their MPs and the U.S. Consulate and tell them to “get out of Honduras.‘* Saunders felt the troops would not invade, but she called the American deployment “a type of psychological warfare that is intolerable, inexcusable.”

“We cannot sit idly by and say ‘Ronald Reagan go ahead, take over Central America.’ Panama’s his next trip.. . we all know that.

It is not the mainstream press, it is the truth,” she added.

Don Smucker of Conrad Grebel’s Peace and Conflict Studies called U.S. intervention a “bread and circus strategy” designed to “take our attention off the genuine issues.” Andrea Alvarez, a Kitchener Collegiate Institute student, put it this way: “they need to get [Panamanian Gen. Manuel) Noriega out for public relations.

After he’s out they’ll worry about Nicaragua.‘*

said to be main goal condition, such programs have worsened it because they are incomplete, mechanistic and of too short a time perspective.

The declaration came at the end of the four-day session, opened and closed by the prime minister of the Sudan, Sadiq elMahdi.

It. acknowledged that structural adjustment programs were a legitimate response to

CA. cease-fire within reach, US action to delay process MANAGUA, (IPS/ISIS) - Nicaraguan Episcopal Conference president and Managua’s Archbishop, Cardinal Miguel Obando y Bravo, predicted March 9 that the next round of cease-fire negotiations between the Nicaraguan government and the Contras would be held within 15 days.

“I suppose that within 15 days there will be attempts to initiate the talks,” the former mediator in the negotiations said in an interview with the Nicaraguan church’s “Radio Catolica.”

The prelate, who, along with the secretary general of the Organization of American States Joao Baena Soares, will serve as witness to the negotiations, explained, “I found out - through a telephone conversation - that there were difficulties” in holding the meeting planned for last week.

The cardinal reported that the government of President Daniel Ortega had told him that the talks were to start at March 9 in the Nicaraguan town of Sapoa, some three miles from the Costa Rican border. l

But then in a phone call with the “Nicaraguan Resistance,” as the Contras are formally known, he was informed that the two parties “had not agreed on the date or the place where these talks were to-take place.”

Contra leader Azucena Ferrei, also speaking on Radio Catolica, said, “we can conduct negotiations with the (ruling) Sandinista front, but on future dates agreed to with the directorate of the Nicaraguan Resist ante.”

Ferrei explained that “the meeting will not take place” because it was planned “unilaterby the Nicaraguan ally” government.

Initially, a meeting was scheduled to be held March 8-11 in Guatemala City, at the suggestion of Obando y Bravo. When the cardinal retired as mediator in early March, President Ortega proposed that the negotiations be held in Sapoa instead, but on the same dates that the prelate proposed.

Both sides then appointed the leaders of their negotiating teams, with Defense Minister

Humberto Ortega and contra leader Adolf0 Calero being chosen to head the government and rebel delegations respectively, and agreed to start meeting March 9.

Ultimately, however, the contra leadership modified their position, maintaining that the government had “unilaterally” fixed the time and place of the meeting.

They proposed that a pre-negotiation meeting be held in San Jose, Costa Rica, between Nicaraguan Deputy Foreign Minister Victor Hugo Tinoco, former head of the government delegation, and contra representative Jaime Morales Carazo.

Ortega rejected that request yesterday, claiming that such an encounter would be futile and would kill the prospects of a successful meeting in Sapoa.

The U.&backed Contras have been trying to overthrow the Nicaraguan governm_ent for the past seven years. Since then, the war has claimed 50,000 victims and caused financial losses estimated at $3.6 billion.

Africa’s severe economic crisis, a crisis which, in the words of the declaration, “challenges the very survival of African people”.

But at the same time the Khartoum gathering was unanimous in its view that the human dimension must be part of the formulation of adjustment programs and not an addendum designed merely to mitigate the programs’ unwelcome social consequences.

As Adebayo Adedji, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA], which organized the Conference, told the media, “the delay that occurred bet ween the diagnosis and the dispensing of the prescription can no longer be tolerated”.

The delegates, the overwhelming majority of whom were African, welcomed the increased concern on the part of the inter-

March

national development financial institutions for the human dimension in stabilization and adjustment programs.

But there was a considerable time lag in the implementation of those concerns, they said, and that resulted in little improvement and sometimes deterioration in the condition of the poor and vulnerable, The declaration therefore called for a fundamental rethinking not only of adjustment strategy, but of the indices used to measure development.

“We will not”, declared the delegates, “abide economic rationale or apply economic indices which fail to assert the primacy of the human condition.”

Nutritional balances are as crucial as trade imbalances, and high infant mortality rates require just as immediate and as serious attention as do high rates of inflation.

LONDON (ISIS) - Canada’s best known and most popular scientist warned that our desire for growth and disregard for resources would doom our children to life in a dying world.

David Suzuki, the host of CBC’s The Nature of Things, spoke to hundreds who came-to hear the worId-renowned scientist examine the earth’s ecological future.

Frequently interrupted by applause, the geneticist and author spoke with conviction about some of our cultural myths.

Suzuki refuted the notion that “growth and development are the key to progress” by claiming that steady exponential growth cannot continue ,forever.

Increased growth necessitates increased consumption of our non-renewable resources, he explained.

“The vast majority don’t feel that this is a major prol&m,“Suzuki complained, but the situation is serious.

“Even if the entire planet w’as made of oil, we’d still run out eventually.”

by Hilmry Rollingson It has been called “the best known of aboriginal peoples’ struggles around the world,” by the national Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, George Erasmus. In 1883 Anwar Barkat, director of the rogram to combat racism for t K e World Council of Churches concluded “In the last couple of years, the Alberta provincial government and dozens of multinational oil companies have taken actions that could have genocidal consequences.” Even the United Nations human rights committee has stated the rights of the Lubicon are being seribusly abused and has agreed to hold a full hearing of the case.

At issue is the so-year struggle of the Crees of Lubicon Lake in Northern Alberta for official recognition of their aboriginal and legal rights. During this period, the band’s lands have been devastated by oil and gas exploration and extraction.

While Canadians often pride themselves on being part of a fair, democratic country and for criticizing injustices incurred in countries such as South Africa, many remain oblivious to the plight of this group.

The Lubicon are a small band of Cree Indians in Northern Alberta. They are the aboriginal inhabitants of an area of about 7,000 square miles between the

Peace and Athabasca Rivers.

They have never signed a treaty, ceded, traded, or sold their land.

For centuries they enjoyed a healthy community sustained by hunting, trapping, and. food gathering.

The families were spread out over their land and would get together for seasonal celebrations at Lubicon Lake, The band lived largely isolated for centuries, free to use and manage their traditional lands for the good of their people.

Today their very existence is being threatened by the conscious efforts of a number of major oil companies and the province of Alberta, with the support of the federal government.

In 1073 the 4Alberta government built and all-weather road into the band’s traditional area in order to open up the region for development.

By 1978 dozens of oil and gas corporations invaded the area in force. These oil companies and the Alberta government have consciously sought to destroy the traditional hunter/trapper way of life of the band and thereby destroy the will and ability of the band to resist oil exploitation of its lands.

This was effectively done by making roads, drilling wells, and building pipelines in the band’s area. No trespassing signs were erected by oil companies and protected by guards and gates.

Bulldozers were deliberately driven through Lubicon traplines and even a through traditional burial ground. Provincial officials allowed fires in the region to rage unchecked, destroying thousands of acres of hunting and trapping grounds.

Between 1979 and 1982, more than 400 oil wella were drilled within a M-mile radius of Lubicon homes. These wells produce $1.3 mil!ion a day in revenues for the oil companies

and the province of Alberta.

However, the wildlife on which the Lubicon depend for survival has been scared out of the area because of ‘these wells.

The effect on the band has been disastrous.

Since the invasion of their land, a multitude of problems have arisen. The once self-sufficient band is now povAnnual income erty stricken. from traditional trapping has, dropped 02 per cent from $5,000 per trapper to less than $400; consequently, 90 per cent of the community has been forced onto welfare.

The community moose kill, a major staple in Lubicon, diet, has dropped from more than 200 a year to less than 10.

Malnourishment and the governments’ refusal to provide adequate health services have c&used severe deterioration of the Lubicons’ health. The infant mortality rate has increased significantly.

Now one third of the Lubicon population has contracted tuberculosis as a result of overcrowded housing, inadequate sanitation, poor diet, and stress. This constitutes the highest tuberculosis outbreak in Canada since the Depression.

In light of psychological stress created by these factors, it is not surprising that the band is experiencing a proliferation of increasingly severe and distressing social problems.

Both alcohol abuse and family break-up are on the rise.

The band has also had to cope with other tragedies: six young pebple burned to death in a fiery crash with an oil company truck: a mother of seven burned alive in her house after drinking and smoking; and a father of six became the band’s first suicide victim. All these factors have had a devastating affect on the community.

The band’s chief, Bernard Ominayak, wonders how much longer they can hold together.

What factors have enabled such abuse to occur?

It began in 1899 when the small band was inadvertently missed by Federal Indian agents travelling through the area to sign treaties with Native Peoples. Word eventually reached the Lubicon that neighbouring bands had been promised land ana nummg ana rrapplng right by federal officials, in additio, to $5 dollars a year per person. few Lubicon hunters travelled t neighboring bands on treaty da to ask for treaty rights for thei band, Instead of investigatin their claims, the Indian agent simply added the hunters name I to existing band lists. Hence, the Lubicon went unnoticed as a separate band.

On August 26,1933 the Lubicon38 sent a petition to Ottaw stating “We are neglected.”

Th petition was signed with X’s b 14 household leaders. This ac tion resulted in the first Lubico inquiry.

In 1939 two federa II agents visited the Lubicon area.

The two federal agents reporte to Ottawa “that these Indians rsre far different from those o% other bands” and V‘1touched tha’ they found them ‘clean, well dressed, healthy, bl :ight and in telligent: in other VIrords PeoPl who want to live arId do well”.

The Department of Indian Affairs agreed to give the Lubicon a

reserve.

Thdse present during the agent’s visit were counted”to determine the size of the reserve.

At one square mile per family of five or 128 acres per person, he came up with a reserve size of 25.4 square miles. However, it waamade clear that the membership list was left open since many Lubicon were out hunting in the bush; the size of the reserve was to be increased as “absentees” were added.

A piece of land was selected for the proposed reserve and approved by both federal and provincial officials.

Both parties agreed it be put aside until a proper survey could be conducted. Before leaving, the federal officials promised the band a reserve and treaty rights. Ever since then, the band has been struggling to have that promise fulfilled.

The Lubicon were treated with no more than benign neglect until 1952 when the Alberta government became interested in their land. Numerous oil companies were inquiring about the area. In 1953 the Albertan government sent the ‘federal government a %&day ultimatum about the reserve, assuming that the reserve would be struck from the record if no reply was received. The federal governments failure to reply was to be the start of a legacy of injustices, trickery and deceit for the Lubicon.

From 1952-1973 the federal government deliberately attempted to eliminate the band as a distinct group. Names of band members were transferred to other bands’ lists without authorization and these people were told they could receive treaty benefits only if they transferred to other bands. The Lubicon were also falsely told they could “try” enfranchisement and be later put back on the treaty list if they didn’t like living like the “white man”.

These efforts failed to wipe out the band as a distinct group.

In 1973, the existence of the band was reaffirmed by and Order-inCouncil.

The band’s situation was left unresolved, but the area

.

remained isolated and inaccessible. The Lubicon people were thus able to continue pursuing their traditional lifestyle for the time being.

The time being lasted only until the 1f370s when the Alberta government and the’oil and gas companies invaded the band’s area and started destroying the band’s livelihood.

At the same time that the band was trying to save their community and way df life, the* provincial govern-

ment made an effort to subvert the legal rights of the Lubicon.

In 1981 the province declared the Lubicon community a “provincial hamlet” and band members were told to apply for leases to plots of their land or accept it as a gift. Compliance by the band would have jeopardized Indian land rights by accepting the province’s jurisdiction over the traditional Lubicon lands.

Refusals by the band were met with threats to bulldoze Lubicon homes. When this didn’t work, Alberta officials decided to use more deceitful methods: they told band members who could not read or write English to sign for free firewood, a free housing trailer and a census when they were really signing for plots of land, In November of 1984, after years of struggling to survive, an end finally seemed in sight for the Lubicon, The newly appointed Minister of Indian Affairs, David Crombie approached, the band and said “It’s time to make a deal”. Crombie appointed the prominent

former Justice Minister E. Davie Fulton to conduct an inquiry into the Lubicon Lake land claims.

Fulton initially believed the band’s views were extreme and that they were overstating their case. However, after spending one year meeting extensively I with the Lubicon band, federal and provincial government officials and oil companies, he concluded that the Lubicon claims were just and correct.

Fulton submitted an 88 page discussion paper to Crombie in February 1986, It was to be the basis for direct negotiations toward reconciliations, In it, Fulton suggested a reserve size close to what the band has determined and a wildlife management program to ensure the Lubicon’s way of life could be continued.

Crombie told him to go “full steam ahead”, but the Alberta government quickly held a major news conference to falsely announce that the Lubicon case had been resolved and that Ottawa had approved of a %squaremile reserve. Although this was later denied

by Crombie, the damage had been done: Fulton was fired, his discussion paper was shelved, and Crombie was moved to the Department of , Multiculturalism.

The band has fought several unsuccessful court battles to have their hunting grounds declared off limits to outsiders until the federal government has settled their land claims, In one case, the Alberta government asked the court to postpone the case while they “tidied” up relevant provincial legislation; during this time the province rewrote the law and removed the rights on which the Lubicon were basing their case. In the second case, an ex-oil campy lawyer turned provincial judge refused to accept evidence that the Lubicon’s way of life was being irreparably damaged (or even that they had any way of life left to destroy).

Anot her case, up in front of the Alberta court of Appeal, judges decided

_

the Crees could “restore the wilderness” with money damages if they were ever able to prove rights to their lands. The judges also stated the financial harm done to the provincial government and the oil companies would far outweigh any harm done to the band”.

The band has subsequently resorted to taking its case to the international arena and to the people of Canada. This was attempted most recently through media coverage of the Winter Olympics.

The Lubicon band protested the Torch Relay because it was sponsored by the Crown Corporation Petro-Canada, The corporation encouraged Canadians to share the flame, yet refused to share the blame for its involvement in the destruction of the Lubicon.

The band also boycotted the Olympic “flagship*’ Art exhibit, The Spirit Sings exhibit of native artifacts; the sole corporate sponsor of the display, Shell Oil Canada, is also involved in dest roying Lubicon land.

According to the Band’s chief Bernard Ominayak, the actions of the oil companies are hypocritical: “They came into our area, destroyed our livelihood

to a reserve, continued hunting and trapping rights, mineral rights and financial compensation due to losses. It also entitles them under Canadian law to determine their own membership, which is used to determine the size of the reserve.

Chief Bernard Ominayak’s membership count is 547, therefore the band should receive 80 of their original 7,009 square miles for a reserve. However, the federal government is going against its own legislation by refusing to allow the band to determine its own membership.

While there is no other case in Canada that native Indians weren’t allowed to determine their own membership, the government is willing to acknowledge only 182 band members. Alberta recognizes only nine.

After a year of investigations, Fulton reported a number close to what the band has determined. The band won’t accept a reserve less than they are entitled to because they need a land base large enough to become self-sufficient again.

The federal government has also been trying to pressure the band to accept a trilateral negotiation process involving the Alberta government, even though treaty negotiations are under federal jurisdiction only. It is obvious that considering the amount of money it is making from Lubicon lands, the Alberta government would want to make

the reserve as small a? possible.

An agreement is supposed to be settled through bilateral negotiations between the band and the federal government, and then Alberta should hand over the required lands, The band is desperate and willing to start negotiations immediately with Fulton as an independent mediator, and his discussion paper as a starting point.

But William McKnight, present minister of Indian affairs, has already stated he believes the Lubicon’s land belongs to Alberta. Brian Malone who replaces F&on, refuses to reinvolve Fulton or use his discussion paper.

In the meantime, the Lubicon Cree and their land continue to be under siege. Time is running out for the Lubicon.

At present the Lubicon Band’s long history of neglect and abuse is being continued.

Last month Alberta awarded a japanese Pulp firm logging rights to Lubicon lands and Ottawa has given the firm a $9.5 million grant. The band is still living in poverty.

Last week, McKnight announced an agreement with Alberta to offer the Lubicon 46 square miles. The band has refused it because the offer does not include a satisfactory bar-

gaining process to settle the band’s other claims. For the Lubicon it means another attempt to undermine their legal rights to their traditional lands. It also means another delay in their ridiculously long struggle - time which the Lubicoa cannot afford to lose.

It was not the Lubicon’s fault that they were missed in 1899, nor that the Canadian government has failed to settle with them as it should have. But it is the Lubicon who are having to suffer the consequences.

Through bureaucratic red tape, interruption of legal processes, side-tracking and dismissal of

‘tide by refusing to respond to this most urgent human rights issue.

The federal government represents Canadians.

Do we really want the actions that they are taking to continue on our behalf? Should such a violation of basic human rights be allowed in a democratic country as wealthy as Canada?

If the government gets away with abusing less powerful groups such as the Lubicon, who’s going to be next?

In South Africa the state uses violence to control the black population.

For native peoples in Canada, the state uses much more sophisticated systems of

the Lubicon’s requests for a fair negotiating process, our socalled democratic governments continue to actively deny these people their rightful lands. Inaction and avoidance of this issue by the federal government has effectively destroyed the livelihood and dignity of the Lubicon.

The Canadian and Albertan governments are essentially and consciously committing geno-

oppression: they have wiped them out on paper, destroyed their livelihood, and are letting social breakdown and disease do the rest. From an international perspective, we have little on South Africa.

The federal government has the responsibility and the power to negotiate promptly and fairly with the Lubicon. What it lacks is the will to do so. The Lubicon are asking the people of Canada to provide that will by writing

Blistering white Phantoms G ive me JAZZ

by Mike Shirrif Imprint staff

by Peter Dedes Imprint staff The Phantoms don’t really got the blues. They’re white, they’re young and one of Toronto’s hottest live acts.

Jerome Godboo, from our nation’s capital, assembled the Phantoms from bits and pieces of other Ottawa bands to form this fearful foursome, They played one gig in their hometown before shipping themselves and their instruments to - Toronto.

The Phantoms have been around having played most of the important venues in Toronto (Albert’s Hall, the El Mocambo, Lee’s Palace+ etc.) and each time they play, something a little different happens.

Like Godboo’s mock hangings of his guitarist.

And deciding to change the order of a set right in the middle of a tune. And guest singers, We were treated to Cheryl Lescomb’s deliciously melancholy gravelly voice for a few minutes.

And some fun reggae to close out set one. I guess that’s why they garnered a CASBY for best nonrecorded act.

How about this? Lone Rider, the theme from Rawhide+ was given some blistering groovy groovy treatment. dnd Bluk Funk and a bunch of other’s were handled with equal aplomb,

Photo by Jim Herman like Jim Morrison The rhythm section was tight and guitar solos weren’t your basic l%bar fills. Guitar and harmonica liked to ping-pong the solo spots off each other. It’s better than watching tennis.

I think they’re coming to a UW like an angel, often rifling and campus near you sometime soon. wailing through impossible runs Maybe they’ll stop closeting and progressions was a real goothemselves in concert halls and squeak out some vinyl this year, die.

Schoolly-D: intense in TO

by Paul Done Imprint staff

Money give value for money - live rapping, live cuts, new songs, and even something on the freestyle tip. The old songs exploded from the tiny speakers while the new songs showed the continuing development of Schoolly-D’s hip-hop.

Code

Though Jesse Weaver aka Schoolly-D is nominally the star, the genius when he’s on stage stands behind the turntables DJ Code Money. Others may be quicker and trickier, but no-one dismembers, destroys, and reconstructs records like Code. Before a tiny crowd March 17 at The Tasmanian Ballroom, Schoolly and Code displayed+ again, why hip-hop remains the most muscular, sonically intense modern musical form.

While the New York rappers remain stuck on James Brown beats and grooves, the sound of Philadelphia is a little more diverse - Billy Squier, Sly Stone and Saturday morning cartoons get thrown into the Schoolly hiphop pastiche.

Unlike other hip-hop acts who just rlip-synch with the treble turned down, Schoolly-D and

Schoolly-D has come a long from the kid who was laughed at on Parkside Ave. because he was such a bad rapper - he has even come a long way from his first LP, when he rapped as though he had taken one too many librium pills. Now he’s intense, moving back and forth like a’ caged panther, punching his fist into the air. He’s an actor too - “I ain’t going no further until I see some girly’s underwear on stage”.

That’s natural though, Schoolly-D is a creation of Jesse Weaver who isn’t nearly as violent or sexist as Schoolly. Jesse’s got a clear head 1 and a Mercedes, too.

The Colony

-

In a small room underneath a local tavern men in goatees and berets, women in - well womens’ stuff, listen attentively to the music of the jazz band. I come in and yell to the guy on the bongos “Smooth .skins, daddyoh”. Beatnik culture thrives in the Kalahari Desert called Kitchener-Waterloo.

Right? Wrong!

Go to Pierre’s on a Monday night hoping to listen to the jazz, but expect the unexpected.

Poetry, no guff, poetry the real stuff.

Not that “ this is a man from nantucket”, the real guacamole (no joke). It seems that in between sets local poets can get up and read some of their impressive works in progress.

Take the first guy who read a poem. Real intellectual goop. I think in order to fully appreciate what was happening I will give you a sampling (remember to read this aloud in a half agonyecstasy voice, kinda like being hoofed in the genitals at the time of orgasm,) Okay, here goes roughly: The saxophone squeezed out it’s music like a woman in childbirth, the sun beats down upon my lonely stinking back, as I, supine on Q cheese plate beg for more dip.

You know what this kind of poetry gives me? - gas! The second poet wasn’t as bad - at least his first poem wasn’t, a litle ditty called If Van Gogh was Q stripper.

The second poem where do the souls of children go leaves me to say Who cares.

Okay, so I’m g boor who can’t get into this high-brow, pretentious artsy fartsy poetry crap.

Local trio on the move

by John Hymers Imprint staff The Colony, for those unini’ tiated, are a local band who often play as an opening act in and around Waterloo.

On March 18 they were in the spotlight as the headliners at the Loo in Waterloo [famous as the place that Taps corrals its would-be patrons and sells them beer as they wait for their .number to come up so that they can drink upstairs with their well-dressed peers.)

The Colony’s opening band was The Beggar, who really was a one man band named Lindsay Stewart who played guitar in a Chris Houston style.

But he wasn’t the opening act for long as he was joined by past inembers of Bell Jar and Torso Column+ both disbanded groups who made their name in the twin cities, Stewart’s out of tune guitar aimed at his drunken buddies was in actuality a penalty for liking alternative music, The Colony were in no way upstaged FienT:e Beggar, nor by his . .

by Al Richardson and Robin Purohit Wynton Marsalis wouldn’t call it jazz and David Lee Roth iwould sooner shave off his golden locks than call it rock but who cares. UZEB’s seventh album Noisy Nights proves once again that they are one of the hottest and tightest jazz fusion bands in the world.

UZEB is a Montreal-based band known for their energetic and exhilarating live performances. Percussionist Paul Brochu, bassist Alain Caron, and guitar player Michel Cusson have dropped keyboard player Jean St. Jacques and use guitar synths to get all those funky sampled sounds.

There are more changes on this latest album. Noisy Nights indicates a shift toward simpler melodies and harmonies resulting in a more accessible sound. UZEB seems to be leading away from their intricate dixie-style where all four members wail away at once and now focus more on the

composition of each piece. Cusson’s soloing abilities is spotlighted, while Caron and Brochu provide sophisticated and tasteful accompaniament.

acoustic version of the Mingus classic Goodbye Pork Pie Hat which is probably the best piece on the new UZEB collection.

Highlights of the album are two kick-ass pieces Mister Bill (listen for the sampled sax on the lead,) and the title track Noisy Nights.

On CooI It and Spider, Cusson applies his guitar synth talents to give these tracks a big band sound. The tape version of this release holds a beautiful

This album has more than enough to satisfy UZEB fans as well as attracting new ones. The only problems lie in the organization of the material and a somewhat flat production sound. Too bad there isn’t one drum solo on the album since Brochu is one of the hottest fusion drummers around.

Well, with the weight of that thought upon us, and the impending term-end insanity approaching, let’s talk about the cover, Black and white with wonderful contrasts, it is by far one of the nicest Echo covers I’ve seen. They’re standing around in what seems to be a drive-in, looking very nifty. Nice new pop product.

when it reappeared on Ethos most recent LP? Probably.

Anyway, the longer version of the “new” version is okay. The Ray Manzerek keyboards come out a bit more, so you Doors nuts should take notice. w The three live b-sides are most noteworthy - the obligatory Velvets’ tune Run Run Run, the Stones’ Paint it Black, and Television’s Friction.

Ian McCulloch’s vocals are a bit too clean for their own good and it does show. It’d be nice if these tunes were rougher, -but the recording was for a Swedish radio show, and you know how them Swedes like cows.

Funny the way yesterday’s radical becomes today’s notworth-raising-an-eyebrowover. Back in ‘78, bands like The Buzzcocks and The Undertones were punk bands, now they’re looked back upon nostalgically as pop-punk, and The Wedding Present who bear more than a passing similarity to the melodic punk of 1978, are a pop band, plain and simple.

But if being labelled as a pop band is going to help The Wedding Present shift more units, I’m all for it. And maybe this is a pop record after all. Dave Gedge and co. are writing guitar hooks now, not just riffs; melodies instead of breathlessly sung monotones. They’ve always been one of the most exciting blitzes of guitar buzz on the UK indie

scene, but, damnit, they’re writing real songs now, and for a traditional guy, that still means something.

Just listen to the front-and-centre bass riff of Nothing Comes Easy, probably the catchiest thing they’ve written yet.

Then there’s the fact that this 9s the closest Gedge has come to actually singing as opposed to reciting the words - and these are words worth singing.

Nobody’s Twisting Your Arm washes the hands of any involvement with emotional leeches with brilliant conciseness, the other side of the I’m Not Always So Stupid’s story, the tongue-incheek poignancy of the kind of guy who’s spent a few too many lonely nights sitting by the phone for a call that never comes from a girl who probably doesn’t know his last name and feels no desire to find out.

Umpteen releases into their career, and The Wedding Present show no signs of ofrunning out of steam or even settling onto a plateau of quality.

You know how she feels, what puts that weariness in her singing, those low moans and sighs as she breathes the blues and country-blues you’ve lived yourself. She feels the despair of Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry so bad, you swear she wrote the song herself. Same goes for Walking After Midnight, yeah, good old Roy Acuff.

You don’t want to date yourself, but she even does something for Sweet Jane.

“I’d be careful if you get sweet on her. You see Peter on drums and Michael the guitarist?

Her brothers.”

Yeah, it figures. They have the same sense of the blues you’ve missed in all those boogie joints where some hotshot guitarist would blow your head off with his solos.

Melancholy, that’s what it is, and finally you know what you’ve been longing for all these years since your first Robert Johnson and Hank Williams records. The blues is more than twelve-bar progressions and call-and-responses; it’s atmosphere and these guys have a thicker atmosphere than Hamilton. Everything is kept spare and subdued, the loneliest sound you’ve heard since a slammed door. There’s that harmonica again, fighting it out with accordions and steel guitars and it’s no use - you’re hopelessly in love again.

“I Don’t Get It. Their own song. rock critics)!

No such luck, I’m stuck using old standards like “tedious”, “dull”, and comparing to “paint drying”.

Paradox play a strange thrash speed metal attack. Strange+ in that there is absolutely no interest or enjoyment to be had from listening to it. They try hard, going so far as to provide that all-important Nordic God/Ring of the Nibelung image in the songs. But their clothes are all wrong, stuck between Metallica denim and Iron Maiden spandex.

They should try for that WASP leather and chainsaws look.

Since they seem to be fairly Volume.

Most of this, Colourbox’s second self-titled LP (must be hell in the shipping department), is without the lovely lungs of Lorita Graham@, who has always been my favorite part of Colourbox. This leaves matters up to Steven and Martin Young (the M and the Sin MARRS), and left to their own devices matters are usually quite mediocre - view the sub-TV theme bombast of The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme, or the mannered spaghetti western reggae of Looks Like We’re Shy One Horse.

If you want a taste of what Colourbox gt their best is like, then see if you can snag a copy of their first self-titled LP, upon which Lorita Grahame gets to stretch out and sing like hell.

The track that opens Floodland project, remixed

the and

be let down warn you,

dumped on vinyl, stands as testimony to Andrew Eldritch’s disdain for the British record charts. The album version is actually one song with two parts Dominion/Mother Russia; this remix tears the song apart, abandoning the Mother Russia crescendo it builds toward. The beat is a bit punchier and the vocals are slightly different, but the track wanders off just as I’m getting in. This is a remix that seems to only satisfy the market’s need for remixes; when you buy it (and you will), don’t

and don’t say I didn’t

This record is, in fact, a cleverly disguised EMMA EP. Long a live favourite, this cover of an old’Hot Chocolate tune is one of the most emotion-filled songs Eldritch has offered in recent history. Many bought the Temple of Love single on the strength of the cover of Gimmie Shelter; EMMA threatens to rival this previous standard of excellerice.

Slashing guitar, Eldritchs’ vocals, and Morrisions’ throbbing bass all help nail this tune into your forehead. Other tracks - Untitled and Sandstorm are instrumental pieces that introduce the saxophone into the Sisters’ arsenal of instruments.

Damn wonderful pieces at that, although I can’t imagine Eldritch playing sax.

If you’re thinking of buying the CD single, you’ll sadly miss EMMA, as it’s replaced by Ozymandias, an upside-down, inside-out, sped-up, cut-up, backwards nightmare reconstruction of Dominion.

Pump up the death, kill, kill. Interesting, but hardly a fair swap. Andrew, keep the stuff coming, but please don’t become the next Smiths of

dent or not. As for the music, competent enough speed metal update.

by Paul Done Imprint staff From the first 808 beats of Needle to The Groove three years ago, it was obvious that Curtis Mantronik would not be contained by the strict boundaries of hip-hop. There was a splitsecond precision in his beats which was a million miles removed from the rough breakbeats from back in the days. So, it was little surprise when Mantronik began producing electro dance records by the likes of Joyce Sims, Nocera and Dhar Braxton.

Unfortunately, these electro beats infected and weakened much of Music Madness, the second Mantronix LP. Eighteen months later.. . Mantronix have left the familiar surroundinga of Sleeping Bag Records for the more moniad rarrouadings of EMI International and the commercial pawssureu of a major contract.

The first full-length product of thie move, In Full Effect has thankfully abandoned many of the dancefloor trappings of Music Madneus, however, it maintains the synthesized slickness which characterizes (plagues?] every Mantronik production.

Despite the overwhel@ng refinement of the sounds on In Full Effect, Mantronik’s understanding of the rhythmic dynamics df hip-hop lends the album a satiafying clatter at times - the title track and Sing a Sohg build up a solid percussive attack. Lyricist MC Tee’s is remarkable for his tricky, stuttering rhymes which more resemble tone poetry than the straight-ahead verbal attack of most hip-hop. , It’s not that In Full Rffect is such a terrible album, it’s more that Mantronix has been treading water while the competition, in the form of Public Enemy, Eric B., Just-Ice and others, have moved leagues forward.

by John Ryan Imprint staff What the hell is this? Four rivethead stumblers unleashed in a ‘studio and accidentally making a pigbitingly mad, stone killer masterpiece or some metal hacks trying to figure what will generate the most attention and hopefully maximize sales? A bit of both, actually.

It is good, damn good, but never do I feel that it’s a sincere, spontaneous creation. This record is as cakuIated as anything that Bananarama or Whitney have done.

These guys want to shift units, why else would they cover Anarchy in the UK? Dave Mustaine’s version of anarchy means he gets to drink a lot and drive as fast as he wants. Not exactly a revolutionary concept, coming from a heavy metal singer!

by Greg Clow Imprint staff First of all, this is not a new album in all senses. It was released on Antler Records and distributed

by Play It Again Sam! Records in Europe well over a year ago. It made minor dents

on alternative

radio,

then

kind of disappeared.

Recently, Fringe Product, the Toronto label that distributes suchcanadian bands as Vital Sines and bands, like Swans, licensed from foreign labels, picked up the domestic rights to the album, and we were graced with another vinyl masterpiece.

At least, I’m sure A Split-Se-

Maybe Anthrax sometimes plod and Metallica are dumb as a brick but they try sincerely.

But So Far So Good is just a cynical effort to part you from your money, luckily Megadeth just happen to provide something in return: some mean, fast and hard sounds.

They’ve simplified the sometimes complex changes and rhythms of Peace Sells. They’ve watered down the politics of their songs, only Hook In Mouth, the obligatory attack on the PMRC is overtly political.

But where they used to see society as one sick joke on all of us, they’re now laughing behind their hands at the record buyer. Still, nice sleeve photo.

cond’s vocalist and “rnastermind”, Marc Icxx, believes that he’s created a masterpiece.

Unfortunately, Mr. Icxx is sadly mistaken.

Ballistic Statues is a good album, granted, but using any more powerful adjectives to describe it would be giving it more credit than it (or lcxx) deserves.

The music is, well, good.

There’s nothing really original about the whole thing; it just retraces the steps of such notables as Fad Gadget, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, and Skinny Puppy, and comes up with a danceable industrial sound. There’s nothing *wrong with it, but it’s been done before by better. The lead off track,

.Rigor

Mortis,

is the beat

track musically, and is enjoying a bit of success on the dance floors (including our own Fed Hall), It’s going to take a while, but this may be the biggest industrial dancefloor hit since Nitzer Ebb’s Murderous.

(Whether that’s good or bad is left up to the reader to decide!)

Also worth mentioning is Cyber-

743-8315

netics and Pavlovian Warfare, a very Butthole-like track, similar to the Surfer’s cover of American Woman a couple of years back.

Lyrically, meanwhile, the. album ranges from average to lame to just plain stupid. Some examples: The silent screams/ The silence screams/ The ice. . . it creams/ I’m really not the breeding type; Intense movement hurled me down/ Proffering glycerine hopes/ Your hands obstruct the words I want to say need I continue? ’ ‘Finally, the album closes with the most boring eight minutes atid 11 seconds ever committed to vinyl.

It is the album’s title track and it consists of one of Richard

Nixon’s

“I

am

not

a

crook” speeches backed by Icxx’s droning synths and boring drumbeats.

After the first couple of listens, you’ll probably find yourself lifting the needle halfway through side 2 and playing side 1 again. the packaging Oh, yes sucks, too, The lyric sheet includes lyrics that are apparently from an earlier release in Europe, but they aren’t much better than those on the album, so it’s a waste of space. It all adds to the mediocrity of this release. This album is too damn boring and Marc IcXx is just too damn pretentious to merit this album any higher praise. Save your money and buy some Front 242 instead.

-sibility when your up there en tertaining to talk about something that is actually pertinent. In the last ten years it has become very rare for a popular band to become political so when you’re at our level it is just more noticeable.

That’s all. Did you notice that he’s rambling?

Your lucky that Watt’s not here, he would have gone on for half an hour.” ed almost did.

I like politics, but leaving that -subject became high on my priority list, prompting me to say: “Lets get off of politics,“ to which ed responded, “yeah, lets get the hell off of that topic.” At this Doint we ignored the first nf

feel bad for us losing D. Boon, in the wrong way. I felt bad, but I had to go on, so I decided to make a record with this kid (ed). I can’t hold back. Its good to sound like the Minutmen . . and that’s not a bad tradition to hark from seeing as how I was one of the men who made that sound. I mean its betl

of playing my rock. Because if was for that, I wouldn’t be doing this because I was too much of a nerd, of a bozo. But since punk rock let a crack in the door, me and D, Boon wailed it open, and we paved the way for Edward to come out and not even be in a band or anything and get up

It’s not a haircut but an attitude many calls by the management to vacate the premises. ed joined the ex-Minutemen lineup in a very interesting way and SO to check its validity, I wanted to here it from the fIREHOSEr’s mouth. So my question to ed fROMOH went like this: “Eveyone has heard stories about how you joined the band.

Would you like to set the record straight?” ed responded this way: “Yeah, the classic ed fROMOHIO story.

D. Boon had been dead for about four months and I was living in Columbus Ohio and I went to see this band called Camper Van Beethoven and I went to talk to them after the show. I asked them about what the Minutemen had planned to do and they said that they heard that Mike Watt was interviewing bass players. I called him up and told him what I heard and he said that that was nice but thanks but no thanks and he sent me a tape. So I flew out and sort’of pestered him for a little while and he eventually said ‘I’m willing to try’ so I don’t know if inspired him or if he was just intrigued by the whole idea, but I think that there’s a very special chemistry and that that’s very important to music,” The interview was slightly interrupted

by Imprint photographer Joe Sary, but then Mike Watt joined us.

Watt looked at me and said: “I had to take care of Bobby DeNiI-000 . . . you know, DeNiro.”

He was holding up money and I understood. “Sorry I missed out on the interview,” he continued.

I then said that I had lost all of my rythm, and ed said: “I know how it is; I lost mine a couple of times tonight.”

Laughs all around.

It was time for real quest-ions again so I queried: “Your last album received good critical acclaim. How did that effect the band?” r

Just being anti-Reagan doesn’t seem to be enough anymore ed said that it swelled his head, but Mike said: “It might have made you all conceited, but it made me and George tuck our heads down and work harder.

No. I’ll tell you what really happened. We felt fortunate; we didn’t know what people were going to think. We were feeling bad for D. Boon being gone, man, and I know that people wanted to see me and George succeed, and

we

ed,

and

they

wanted him to succeed too.”

Next question: “We’re you afraid that people would only accept you as the Minutemen and not as fIREHOSE?” The answer as supplied by Mike: “No. I wasn’t afraid about that; I was just afraid that people would not listen to music and

ter than sounding like the Incredible String Band because you know that I wasn’t in that band.”

“How does the- new album [ifn’) differ from the first (Ragin’ Full On)?”

Mike and ed both jumped into this one, First, what ed said: “I think its a little more mature overall.”

Mike agreed emphatically: “We used DOS songs, mine and my wife’s songs (Mike Watt and his wife Kira, of Black Flag fame, form their own two-bass band, DOS.) ,I didn’t know Edward and I wanted to see what he could do with what I had. I had a lot of songs that we didn’t use on this album. On the first one we used every song that we knew almost.

Different times, different days. Scarier days.”

Mike tended to wander all over the place in his answers and he made a comment about punk rock which led into my next question: “The Jazz Butcher defines punk as doing your own thing. What do you think it is?”

Mike agreed: “That’s what I say it is; it’s not a haircut but a fucking attitude.

It’s taking guitars up against the state. It’s about having your say just beGauze you think

it’s good enough

for other people to hear.”

“Is it doing what you

want,

then?“, I ventured.

“No.” said Mike, “because you -got to relate to people. I’m not into being arrogant and taking advantage of my audience.

But I’m also not into uniform choices

there and wail for you. This is an important lesson, More important than any hairstyle, or any kind of coat. It’s fucking endeavor, going onward.

“Oh,” I agreed, and continued, “fIREHOSE with a small f and the rest big letters. Does it mean anything or is it just fun?”

Mike assured me that there was a method to his alphabetic madness: “Well, it does mean something; I wanted it to look. littler. I wanted to use the same lettering as the-Minutemen, so I used all little letters and it looked like oingo boingo so I just made the first letter little.” “All right!” interjected ed - “But we don’t got D. Boon painting,” Mike finished his train of thought.

“What are some up and coming bands on the west coast, or are there too many to mention?”

I questioned the fIREHOSERs. Mike answered.

“The Blackbirds, but no, there are not a lot.

That’s the unfortunate thing: people are getting conservative again. They’re waiting for New York or England to deliver new bands when they should be up off their asses starting their own. But, good bands on the West Coast?: Saccharine Trust, Universal Congress, and Dinosaur. Check them out.”

His modesty stopped him from mentioning fIREHOSE, the coolest band from the American west coast; a band that didn’t sit on their asses even when their closest friend and collaborator died; a band that matters.

Chairs and hats:Jane

by Cassandra Imprint staff

,

Nicolaou

“You know, you use words to define things but there’s a whole part of that object that kista out her% a little bit, so t If e definition’s not quite right . + . unless you put electrodes on someone’s head, from your head to their head, you’ll never be able to make that direct translation.

But that’s why some people call it art .‘* When Jane Siberry talks about her art, she tends to sound a lot like her art. Often vague and rambling, searching for a way to make you understand, she uses a sometimes alienating imagery that incorporates chairs, pink surfboards, geese, shoes and hats. At one moment we’re discussing po music, and before I know it, Si ii erry is talking about skies and boundaries and searching for a religious analogy* Most people either love or hate‘ Jane Siberry.

Her detractors site pretentiousness, unbearably silly lyrics, and an irritatingly whiny voice as supportive evidence.

Her fans know better. They know that, because of and despite her musical idiosyncrasies, Siberry is producing some of the most innovative and intriguing music that can be heard today.

They know that comparisons to Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell, while inevitable, are over-used and inadequate.

Siberry has now become a reference point herself.

In last month’s Rolling Stone, new Irish sensation Sinead O’Connor was compared to our Jane, who RS labelled “one of the women pushing the boundaries of pop music.”

Siberry is pretty hot right now, in a low profile, alternative kind of way. But even that is slowly changing. Wqncr Brothers U.S. has recently signed her tp a seven-album worldwide deal. Currently, Siberry’s on the first leg of a three-month, tour that is bringing her to Waterloo next Wednesday.

She’ll then continue across Canada, into the US. and over to Europe, where her Specklees Sky album has just been released. Critics in Macleans, The New York Times, The Village Voice and People Magazine are raving about Canada’s “fascinating eccentric,” ’

So+ a8 a next move, any selfrespecting Canadian artist on the verge of “making it big” would do the typical thing: make-it-accessible and cruise into oblivion, a la Parachute Club.

But instead of hiring John Oates, Siberry released The Walking, an album even she admits “is very dense; it takes a while to absorb it,” The woman has courage.

The first thing you notice about The Walking is that the songs are long. The reason you notice this fir@ is because the song times are printed right there on the back of the album cover. For -everyone to see. No shying away from it, no apologies for eight and lo-minute son s. And although some critics a ave suggested that Siberry could have used a good editor, she remains confident.

“I think it’s a sign of maturity somehow to let-things take the breath that they need to stand alone. With each song I tried to give it exactly the amount of . time I felt it required, even on subtle levels l&e letting a groove happen a little longer than normal, or just letting the song sit there . , .+’

Siberry can be very serious when forced to respond to critical comment.

But throughout it all she maintains a sense of humour. She laughs when reminded of bad lines (“the tundra is my lover”) from older songs and incorporates a subtle, self-deprecating humour into many tunes.

In Lena is a White Table from the new album, Siberry is her own editor, commenting “BALONEY, PHOOEY . . . Oh come on!” in the midst of a few vaguely pretentious lyiics.

There’s always been an element of humour in her songwriting.

Verses stich as: His card says executive/ But it mumbles just a salesman/ He’s not sure just who you are/ But you might be a good connection (Extra Executives) and She didn’t get him! He didn’t really get her either! They got together/ Not the stuff of movies (Ingrid and the Footman] reveal not only an offbeat, quirky sense of humour but an uncanny ability ‘to comment on the subtle ironies of everyday life.

“I watch, and a lot of my writing comes from what I see, people who fascinate me. I feel like a secretary sometimes: I’m not creating anything, just recording.” .

Much of Siberi-y’s “recording” for The Walking happened on recent trips to Italy and Newfoundland, The landscapes of these locales recur throughout the album, which is perhaps her most visual yet. Accordingly, Siberry has already done videos for a number of the tracks and plans to dp more.

“I’m really excited about doing videos, because many of my ideas are visual and sometimes translating them to words and music seems almoit backwards.

“But I don’t like videos that are just literal, or seeing the song acted out , . . 1’~ pulling back a bit on being too obvious, so that the video will be a completion of the song.”

Again acknowledging the “challenging” nature of The Walking, Siberry hopes that the videos will help to clear up any difficulties listeners are encountering, But she has little patience for people who label her new effort self-indulgent, feeling that it is definitely her best album to date.

“The indulgent thing.. . I think people somet-imes just say that because they don’t get it, you know, and I’m very aware of indulgerice in other people’s work and in mine: I just have to t?ust my own judgement.”

The Walking is Siberry’s fourth album, following the independent lane Siberry, and No Borders Here and Speckless Sky, both on the Duke Street label. Those albums yielded top-40 hits (Mimi on the Beach and One More Co/our, respectively), and The Walking will probably do the same with an edited version of the tongue-in-cheek ingrid and the Footman.

Siberry edits all her songs for commercial release, but once joked that she writes “the catchiest eight-minute pop song around”.

“I don’t know; I’ve felt really bored during three-minute songs, and really tired. Catchy is, well, there’s catchy first time you here it, there’? catchy 10th time you hear it, “I’ve always enjoyed songs that made my mind stretch.

Stretch to a new dimension; harder melodies, more difficult chord changes make it take longer to get to know those songs: it feels like a workout, it feels like you’ve stretched, it’s nice.”

Siberry is often cast as the ditzy’ eccentric, art-musician.

Which is rather odd; considering her suburban Toronto roots and her degree in science from the University of Guelph. Her fear of being perceived as “dumb girl” writing “bad poetry” (lyrics from The Empty City). is obvious. ‘!I hate to be cast as people who I criticize, but that’s poetic justice, I guess. There are all sqrts of perceptions about me. I think slowly, people sort of take an average of everything they hear about me and come up somewhere in the right ballpark.”

What Siberry says is true, because even the most stubborn critics have conceded that she seems to “spend most of her time hanging around the top end of the 1.Q. scale.” And her fans, who share many more differences than similarities, are devoted and loyal. Asked whether she could site a common denominator,

Siberry

laughs:

“My audience? . . . I think they must be great, wonderful, interesting people . . . did I say charming too? . “But really, I feel like people trust me somehow; they might not necessarily like me, but at least -maybe trust something about what I’m doing. I hope so, anyway.”

Technically dazzling computer animation show --.

Ontario

A scene

from

the futuristic

commercial

by John Zechariah Imprint staff Anyone interested in animation should check out the Computer Animation Show at the Princess this weekend, and get a drift of the state of the art. This collection of electronic dreamscapes, brought to you by Expanded Entertainment, is sure to draw forth oohs and ahs in great number.

MARVEL! at the streamlined elegance of the Benson and Hedges Gold Series commercials

by Abel. THRILL! to Disney’s exciting love story, Oi1spot and Lipstick.

CHILL!

FANTASY

over the high-velocity antics of Speeder, WONDER! at Abel’s perfectly obnoxious industrialpop Hawaiian Punch commercial Chain Reaction.

BROOD! over Pacific Data Images’Opera Industriel, 60 seconds of nightmare machine hammering, a flawless silicon-age tribute to Fritz Lang.

stumbling

block for Warriors

Another hnpressive season at Columbia

by Mike McGraw und Todd Coulter In the world of hockey, there’s a frightening resemblance between the NEIL’s Washington Capitals and the Waterloo Warriors.

Both start out the season with great expectations and rave reviews from the media, and generally, they fulfill these high hopes in the regular season. Both also have lineups full of gritty role players.

But because they both also play in talent-stacked divisions, they burn themselves out getting to the playoffs.

Waterloo opened training camp on September 14, picked

by The Hockey News to finish first in the newly formed OUAA Central division, Since the OUAA decided to add four Quebec teams to the league this season, the division alignments underwent a major overhaul.

First place was a lofty prediction considering Waterloo’s new division mates.

Suddenly, the Warriors found themselves paired with perennial powerhouses York, Western, and Laurier along with U of T and Guelph. This would mean three games against each of these five, and one against each ’ other team in the league. First ‘I’ ‘$&A$ It tiduld take more than a couple of lucky bounces.

When the regular schedule ended, Waterloo was in third place with an impressive 14-6-6 record.

The Warriors trailed only York and Western in the standings - the two teams who played off for the CIAU championship.

Outside of their division, the Warriors recorded a flawless 9-O-2 record, causing many to wonder what they would have done in another division.

But, the playoffs brought gloom for the second consecutive February.

Up against the Mustangs, the Warriors made a quick exit, losing 5-3 at Western and 7-3 at Columbia.

Once again it was time to store the Zamboni for another spring. In 1987, W.aterloo bowed out to Laurier in two games which were excellent criteria for using instant replays in the CIAU. This time there were no referees to blame. Rather, the Warriors seemed spent from five months worth of grinding. Lacking the superstars which Western and York possessed, Waterloo had to play all-out just to remain competitive.

“We may have put too much emphasis on the regular season,” said assistant coach Kevin Fitzpatrick.

“Maybe we peaked too early, we played our best hockey the weekend in Montreal.”

Ah yes, that weekend in Montreal. On that January weekend when the Warriors put two Montreal teams under siege, it seemed the CIAU title was not out of the question.

On the Satclobbered the urday; they McGill Redmen and followed it up with a Sunday massacre of the Concordia Stingers.

The wins were part of a five-game road trip sweep which included drubbings of U of T, Ryerson, and Windsor.

This onslaught followed a post-Christmas drought and seemed to ignite the team for a while. But chances are coach

Don McKee wishes he could have bottled some of this success for the postseason.

It was obvious early in the fall that the Warriors would be for real in 1987-88. They opened the campaign by notching their own Warrior Bauer Invitational, edging nemesis Laurier in the championship game. A trip to the Trois Rivieres tournament found the Warriors in the title game again, but this time they fell short.

The Warriors’ tournament prowess continued at the North York Invitational during the Yuletide season. UW took home the championship trophy after disposing of Northern Alberta, Toronto, and York.

All good teams start between the pipes and build from there. In this sense, the Warriors are no different.

With Mike Bishop, Waterloo has arguably the best backstop in the country.

He eluded the sophomore jinx and was once again the Warriors saving grace on infinite occasions. Built in the unflashy mode of Ken Dryden, Mike Liut, and Ron Hextall, Bishop took Central division MVP honours with a 3.32 goals against and an 88 per cent save percentage.

In addition to this, he was all-star goalie for the OUAA and an all-Canadian.

All this was done in the goallight-burning Central division.

Bishop was a workhorse, logging a mammoth 1,480 minutes, 1,400 more than back-up Jamey Solloman. As expected, Bishop also added the team MVP award to his hardware collection.

In the scoring department, the Warriors were paced by the duo of Chris Glover and Steve Linseman. Glover, a sophomore right winger, broke the Waterloo single-season scoring record with 28 goals, and added 34 assists in 26 games, Linseman continued to be Mr. Reliable, meshing 23 goals and 36 assists to finish eighth in league scoring.

He is now second in all-time Warrior scoring with 161 points in three seasons. The third member of the line, Dan Tsandelis, turned into a sniper on the left side of Glover and Linseman.

Voted the Warriors’ most improved player, Tsandelis notched 19 goals and 13 assists hi-lighted by a fourgoal night at U of T in January.

Scrappy forward John Goodman continued his role as the Warriors best two-way player.

But this season, he increased his firepower to the tune of eight goals and 19 assists, A team leader, Goodman took the coaches’ award for dedication and commitment to the program.

Linemate Jamie McKee returned to the ice after a first term sabbatical to rack up eight goals and five assists in 14 games after Christmas.

John Dietrich, the left winger on the line, nabbed five goals and eight assists for the campaign.

Overall, this trio was more renowned for its digging and chippy play than its offensive prowess.

Elsewhere up front, Steve Girardi turned in another banner season, counting six goals and adding 19 assists.

Scott Dick (nine goals, 10 assists) and capt ain Todd Coulter (seven goals, 12 assists) both recorded 19 points while David Long counted 5-13-18.

MOST VALUABLE WARRIOR: What else MVl? a league a!l-star and an all-Canadian The defensive corps in front of Bishop were also a big part of Waterloo’s success, Sophomore Ken Buitenhuis, with his howitzer slap shot, inked up six goals and 19 assists while throwing his size around inside his own blueline. Veteran captain Steve Balas continued his steady play and contributed 15 points, while rookie Brad Geard had a successful first campaign with 14 points and a solid defensive effort, Another rookie, Ian Pound, made his towering presence felt, racking up 94 penalty minutes with his fiery play. Veterans Andrew Smith and Clinton Ellicott were stalwarts in front of Bishop once again.

So as the ice at Columbia turns to slush, what does next season hold for the hockey Warriors?

Smith and Dick are both graduating, thus ending their ca-

accomplish?

reers. Goodman and Coulter are questionable depending on law school and co-op respectively, while Tsandelis graduates in December.

But overall, the Warriors could potentially return 23 members of this season’s team.

With this comforting thought in mind, the future looks very bright indeed. Goaltending, the most vital part of any team, is unrivalled in the able hands of Bishop.

Defensively, Waterloo has a good balance of offence and defence with Buitenhuis and Pound, both of whom have some good years left. The Warriors will be no slouches offensively either. Glover and Linseman are a deadly tandem, while McKee, Tsandelis, Goodman and Girardi can all pull the trigger with regularity.

Depending on the recruits who show up next September, the Warriors have an

excellent chance of repeating if not bettering this season’s performance.

Aside from the on-ice personnel, the Warriors have an amazing supporting cast. Departing manager Scott Erskine, hell driving bus navigator Danny Boeru and trainers Jill Manton, Lynne Parent, and Dave Robertson all contributed to this season’s sudcess, Over the summer, the team will miss the baked goodies of Grandma”Bish” (Mrs. Dupuis).

Coach McKee and his team have shown they can play well for the regular schedule, it’s just those first two games of the playoffs they need work on.

Maybe if the Capitals go all the way this spring, their OUAA proteges, the Warriors, will do the same in 1989.

Coach kieinbuch finishes

by Graeme Peppler Imprint staff A subdued Waterloo swim team listened intently to Dave Heinbuch last October when he announced, to the consternation of everyone present, that he was stepping down as coach of the men’s and women’s swim teams.

After eight seasons as the guiding light of a program that was very much his own, Heinbuch - a former Warrior, Pan Am Games medalist, and Olympic team member - had grown understandably weary of the vicissitudes of running the largest athletic teams on campus.

With the culmination of the CIAU swimming champions hip three weeks ago, Heinbuch’s official duties with the team were over; no longer would he face the six daily hours spent at the pool, the graveyard hours of early morning workouts, the weekends’ travelling to and from meets. A long swimming season was over; and so was the tenure of the man who ensured Waterloo swimming’s respectability for the past decade.

Nevertheless, despite the announcement, the teams got on with it, motivated to do well over the season if only to prove to Heinbuch that his commitment over such a long period of time had been worth it. He needn’t have worried.

Over four months, the teams took part in a total of 18 meets culminating with the Athena’s fourth place at the OWIAAs and Heinbuch’s nomi.nation as Ontario coach of the year - and the Warrior’s hard fought fifth place at OUAAs, The Warriors won five of their eight dual meets during the season, the Athenas won five of their nine.

The women sent three to CIAUs, L;;;;ir, the men could qualify Once-again, the lone Warrior to travel to the national championship event held this year at Toronto’s fast, if rather antiseptic, pool facility was Dave Adams. In his three years at Waterloo, the science student from British Columbia has travelled to CIAUs every year and he sits second in the list of all-time fastest SO-metre and loo-metre freestylers to have donned Waterloo colours.

While his motivation to swim in-season has occasionally appeared suspect, there can be no denying that Adams is the most naturally gifted swimmer to have come Waterloo’s way in a long time. Indeed, though it was mildly frustrating to see him falling short of his potential during the year, one factor that makes Adams so good in the end is his approach: he gets as much out of swimming 8s he wants and he enjoys that much that he does.

Eric Fergin’s role as a team leader accrued during the season. Always an able participant in the fly, breaststroke, and I.M. races, Fergin is now learning, like the rest of his teammates, that to do well you have to hurt yourself.

Still, the occasions were few when he would finish a race and not laugh about it immediately afterward, good race or bad.

Steve Head tried hard all year.

Perhaps discouraged at not being as near to his goal times as he had hoped, he could still come through with star-studded performances when it mattered, as was the case for the 200-metre breaststroke in Guelph and the 4x100-metre free relay at OUAAs. These two swims alone proved that he still posses great potential and that his goal times are still

attaina.ble.

If the Warriors more swimmers

can obtain of Dave Di-

neen’s calibre then the future will look even brighter.

Not since Olympian Mike West’s abortive foray into the Warrior’s campground in 1985 has the team had a backstroker with winning ability.

As Dave Heinbuch was quick to discover, he can also swim a resourceful 200-metre free.

By comparison, the affable Joe Milla will be the first to admit that he goes to pieces on the starting block before races. In view of this, his races in the free sprints, I.M., and fly events during the season were nothing short of heroic, the 200-metre fly at Brock being the highest point of the year for him. Unpredictable in the water, he maintains that distinction outside of it as well; one never knows if he’ll be back for another year.

In a way, Greg Pye is much like Dave Adams: abundantly talented, it is questionable whether more work will make him go any faster. Versatile in the extreme - he’ll swim fast and competently in anything he’s asked to do - Pye often swims only as hard as he has to and that can mean qualifying for CIAUs, as he did spectacularly in 1987, or merely out-touching an opponent for a victory in a ZOO-metre breaststroke.

Jeff Slater has been swimming a very long time - well over half his lifetime - and could be excused for losing interest. But the opposite is true. His motivation and single-minded approach to racing hard make him one of the most plucky performers with whom his opponents must deal.

Al ways fast , occasionally brilliant, and very serious about the whole affair, he is a good team leader and a sure candidate for male swimmer of the year.

No one hates losing more than Mike Cash; small wonder then that he is the grittiest and feistiest Warrior of them all. Concentrating only on freestyle, he’ll swim anything from the 50metre to the 1508-metre events and he% always do his best, displaying the kind of aggression that puts the very best where they are: on top. With the right kind of coaching - the kind the team is losing - Cash’s battering-ram type of swimming style could be transformed into one of the most effective the Warriors have ever had.

Mike’s elder. brother, Dave, wasn’t eligible to compete in the fall term, owing to a research commitment within the math faculty.

No matter, he’s still the team’s greatest asset, top racer, and unassuming team leader, As ever, his best, year was always his most recent one and after five years, his contributions to the teams in and out of the pool have been far-reaching.

It seems likely, if not totally incontestable, that the elder Cash will be awarded his second consecutive top male swimmer award. If his efforts in the pool were not enough, and they were, then his judicious handling of the shock coaching announcement was his most salient, and least acknowledged’ contribution. it is through the efforts of Cash, who this summer will be chasing after a place on the Bermudian Olympic team, that Waterloo swimmers will have a team to return to next fall.

Dave March suffers from the same difficulties as Steve Head and Greg Pye: a rigorous engineering program that allows little leeway for extra-curricular involvement.

He’s a competent backstroker and freestyler, and when least expected, he wil1 swim with great inspiration; however, he is all too often disqualified for doing the wrong thing during races.

Al Hainer was back for his first year in four and always seemed to swim with a smile on his face. He was happy to be back and enjoyed himself.

Though he had to give it up, Andrew Armstrong was much the same: easy-going, fun, and a pleasure for the team to have around.

Jeff Budau started the year with high hopes but soon realized the daunting nature of his goals and settled down. He’ll be as fast or faster than his brother and former Warrior, Jon, ever was if only he thinks about it a little less.

Dan Stratten improved in leaps and bounds from last year and he may swim an awesome zoo-metre freestyle some day while Graham Stringer, as tall as they come, could become the fastest !%metre breaststroker in the world if there was such an event a Finally, Kevin Loughlin, Scot Whyte, Andrew Codrington, and Chris Cupidio, all newcomers to the team, are four reasons why the Waterloo Warrior swim team deserves to be carried on into the future. They have the ability to maintain the type of standards that Dave Heinbuch has worked so hard to achieve over the last several years.

While the Warriors clearly have the talent to be a major force in OUAA swimming, the Athenas, after years of persevering with minimal scope, are coming back with a vengeance to challenge the best in the league.

Corrie Powell took her place as the most successful of the rookies. Before anyone knew it, she was within striking distance of a CIAU qualification which she duly obtained at OWIAAs.

at PAC

up

Clearly, she will be the new yardstick by which Athenas will measure their own success and contribution to the future performances of the team.

Up until now that distinction had fallen to Allison Loucas, the grappling sprint freestyler who’s been the most dependable swimmer the team could have hoped to have had over the last four years. It is no slight on her to say that she is not graceful in the water; her ferocious style is a visually telling indication that it takes guts to go fast, and nobody tries harder than Loucas.

Always a threat whenever she takes to the pool, Loucas’ days at Waterloo have been highlighted by four trips to the CIAU championships.

If ever there was a more likely candidate for female athlete of the year, then Loucas is it.

Sue Masson has been on the team for four years as well. So it was with a considerable degree of surprise that she was only now able to make it to CIAUs. There is no denying that she always had it in her to qualify, what she needed and obtained from Heinbuch was the self-confidence and belief that it was, in fact, possible.

The co-op system does not do justice to athletes Iike Nancy Grump and Andi Kenyon.

The latter is an able breaststroker whose pleasant personality woulQ be an asset to any team.

What she needs is the kind of approach Masson discovered to put her where she can go; she also needs to be at school for eight ,months instead of four.

The same applies to Crump.

Also a breaststroker, the genial team organizer - she -was instrumental in arranging the

teams’ training camp in Ft. Lauderdale - must have been bitterly disappointed not to make the national championships.

Typically, she didn’t show it. A work term this winter didn’t help matters, interrupting a training schedule from which she expected so much.

No one on the team would disagree that Tami Lee makes warkouts and meets less monotonous.

Another breaststroker - and the Athenas have a surplus of them - the jovial third-year student was always prepared to organize the team when the situations warranted.

Kim Boucher seemed unaffected by her co-op term; she just went faster and faster as the year wore on.Entered regularly in the three most brutalevents the 800-metre free, 400-metro I.M., and the ZOO-metre fly - she neither complained nor held back, always swimming with a nonchalance that defied her speed.

Stephanie Gamble, Lesley Fedora, and Marissa Amoroso all contributed vastly to the status of the team by season’s end. All three rookies possess winning potential and they are among the reasons why the fortunes of the team are on a definite upswing.

Regrettably, Cathy Aube’s performances are not going the same way as the teams. She should be where Corrie Powell is, but the responsibility of a coop job never gave her the chance, and she lost heart at mid-season.
