1Oh A Woody Akn film: Crimes and Misdemeanors


Locals among those arrested

siege by Mazk Brzustowski specialto Imprint On Monday, June 18, the day that Nelson Mandela addressed the House of Commons, 34 people were arrested during a protest outside the South African embassy in Ottawa. Those arrested, including four from Kitchener-Waterloo and eight from Guelph, were climbing over police barricades set up around the embassyin an attempt to evict the ambassador. In stark contrast to the greeting Mandela received from such renowned anti-apartheid fighters as Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Minister of External Affairs Joe Clark, those who risked arr~t outside the embassy that day were determined to greet Mandela by closing down the Canadian operations of the racist and criminal system that jailed him for more than a quarter century. As Mandela sat in a government jet somewhere between Ottawa and Toronto, a group of over 100 people gathered behind the barricade set up by the RCMP and Ottawa police to “protect” the embassyfrom the nonviolent activists. The eviction of the ambassador, based on the anti-war crimes amendment to the Canadian Criminal Code, had been in the planning stagesfor months, spearheaded by members of the Alliance for Non-Violent Action and members of Toronto’s black community, but-it was Mandela’s visit that highlighted the Canadian government’s hypocritical stand on apartheid and its complicity with that system.

Posters in Toronto, protesters in Ottawa...thuusands show their abhorrence of Apartheid photo by J. &?Q8y One AWA member emphasized that complicity by claiming that there was no South Ahican Embassyin Canada,but rather that the building in front of which they stood was the embassyof apartheid, the embassyof a criminal systemand should be dealt with as such. The Samespeaker addressed the need and obligation for citizens to risk arrestto shut apartheid down in Canada, noting that changes from the white regime would come

not from the kindness of their hearts but would come when apartheid becameimpossible to maintain and enforce. The implication was that, internationally, it was up to ordinary peopIe to make it impossible for apartheid to function and maintain itself through its network of embassiesand consulates.Lastsummer, JoeClark was questioned about the attendanceof South Africa at

ARMX’89, the largestweapons show in Canadian history. Clark maintained that not only had South Africa been invited, but that it had every right to be there, reasoning that they were a legitimate government with diplomatic representation in Canada. Echoing conditions under apartheid, the Ottawa Police sent out the riot squad to meet the non-violent demonstrators. After4 number had &eady been arrested,about 204ofthe helmeted officers, their night sticks drawn,descended on the metal barricades to keep more activists from attempting to serve eviction notices on the ambassador.The climbing of the barricades was preceded by an emotional wreath laying ceremony to commemorate the victims of apartheid. Further adding to thespectacleof the Canadian government’s armed protection of apartheid that day was the arrest of a lo-year old boy who climbed the barricade with his father. While the activistswere arrestedunder chargesof causinga disturbanceand obstructing police, all were released within six hours without charges.Clearly the political climate around Mandela’s visit made it impossible for the police to lay chargesagainstpeople arrested for resisting the racist and criminal system that continues to imprison him and millions in South Africa. The protest followed the annual Freedom Ride Rally on Saturday, June 16, the anniversary of the Soweto Uprising. About 50 people from Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph participated in the rally on Parliament Hill and the march to the South African embassy. T.DGIIparticipation was facilitated by the Waterioo Region Anti-Apartheid Coalition.

byJ.Hagey Imprintstaff Controversy continues to plague the Movement as more ex-members disclose more questionable behaviour and one of its local organizers speaksup. In response to the article “Cult recycles Kitchener youth” in the June 15 Imprint, Movement team leader Mat Albrecht cameto the Imprint defending the Movement locally. When asked if joining the Movement required a complete restructuring of a perr son’sbelief systemhe replied it did. ‘You have to change your perspective on life.” When questioned how you achieve this change, Albrecht replied it consisted of meditation and learning the “ideology” of Silo, the group’s Argentinean-based leader. While “planting trees and belonging to groups like Amnesty (International) are fini? they are only band-aid measures,”he added. ‘For real change you have to change your perspective to non-violent values.” On how Silo’s ideology is put into any specific action, Albrecht could not satisfactorily answer, except “that we need to get as many people $0 the Movement as possible.” Disagreeingwith the label of hypnotism for the Movement’s practice of ‘guided experience,’

Albxecht

insisted

they were

only

“relaxation exercises.”The group is asked to lie down and relax themse&s both physically and mentally. They are then taken through an ‘experience’ from one of Silo’s books. “If this is hypnotism then we do it, but we use it for good.” When asked, Albrecht saidthat nocmeinthitKitchenerMovementis certified tb administer hypnosis to groups or individuals.

It is a basic psychological principle that hypnosis can be very dangerous when applied by those not properly trained in its use. Relaxation and meditation exercisesare often used within hypnotic methodology. The Movement becomesan obsessionfor everyone that joins,” said one ex-member.

I didn’t feel that way when I was in but once Zgot out I felt I could be myself.” Both students &ave similar descriptions of the structure of Movement meetings:“We would start of with an experience that the leader would give and then, after we relaxed we would play a game where we would share very pmonal things about ~urselves.~ The ‘group would then discuss readings from Silo’s books, which were very metaphorical, and then the leaderwould explain the various passage. No one would question his interpretation’%use,” saysone of the students, “it was just too confusing to try and figure out yourself.

GSA office plans going ahead j by Paul Done Imprint staff

The GSA board has decided to go ahead with plans to renovate the upstairs of the Grad House by converting some customer space into a new office and subdividing the existing office space into two smaller offices. After heated debate, and by the slimmest of margins, the GSA board of directors approved in principle, the proposal forwarded by the GSA Office Expansion Committee at the previous meeting (May 24). The vote was 9 for, 3 opposed and 5 abstentions. Notice of motion, to be presented at the next meeting, was also made for approval of up to $9400 to complete the renovations to the upstairs portion of the Grad House. During the May 24 meeting there was conflict over two conflicting estimatesfor the cost of the renovations. Pat Sutherland of Plant Operations had p rovided estimatesof $4800 to the Committee and of $IZOOO-18000to Gary Craib, the now-resigned House I&son Officer. As a result of this conflict, the board asked the Committee to provide more detailed cost breakdowns for their proposal along with a revised estimate for a long-range house renovation plan drafted by the standing House Committee. The revised estimatesfur which were presented by the Committee verified that the $12000 figure had, in fact, been the correct one. The figure of $4800 which the Office Expansion Committee had presented astheir working estimate,was for the construction of the walls only and included none of the electrical or mechanical costs. * In advocating their plan, members of the Office Expansion Committee refer& to a set of prelimi&ry tenders submitted by John Armstrong which reduced the estimated cost

of the work to $9400 (the figure quoted in the notice of motion). Upon consultation with Plant Operations, it was learned that John Armstrong is not a recognized contractor to whom P.U. would submit the plans and request a tender. If the GSA board were to approve a tender submitted by John Armstrong and contract him to do the work, it would constitute a direct violation of UW Policy 22.This is the policy which dictatesthat all large equipment installation and building renovations must be cleared through Plant Operations. When the Mice Expansion Committee presented the estimates to the board, John ~ Armstrong was recommended for the work on the basis of the Grad House bar extension which he built. Though this was a major piece of work with a final cost in excessof $15000,it was never cleared through Plant Opeiations. Concern was expressed $u+ng the course of the meeting as to whether or not the cornmittee had adequately f&ill&d the request to @form ti.e board of the long-range plan to increaseoffice spaceby building a permanent ground-level addition. This addition would provide permanent space for GSA of&s while leaving the -upstairs office space for Grad House business. One added benefit wouki be ihat students who do not feel comfortable entering a drinking establishment (Muslims, for ex&nple) would be able to directly etiter the GSA offices from outside. Accusationswere made from certain board members, that the committee was sacrificing long-term perspective in favour of the desire to act upon an immediate concern Committee members countered with a proposal that, upon approval of this plan, a committee could be formed to look into the long-term plans for the renovation of the House. At the aext GSA board meeting, which should be scheduled for July 10, the motion to approve the money outlay will be forwar-ded.

Bavaon Desticide catches flies m

by Peter Brown Lmprint staff

Recentenvironmental awarenesshas some the residents of Married Students Apartments worrying about pest treatment in their homes.Lastweek, a fourth year chemical engineering student circulated a letter to the residents of the housing complex outlining the dangers of a chemical called Baygon, a commonly used pesticide that can be purchased off of the shelf under the trade name of Propoxur. I3ut the management of MSA saysthat the treatments are nothing new, and UW’s Health and Safetysays that the dosages present in the apartments are well below government limits and that Baygon is one of the leasttoxic of pesticides. The treatment program to control cockroaches focuses on the kitchen and bathroom, including cupboards where food is kept A letter to the residents from Safeway Pest Control Services of Kitchener, the company carrying out the program,-mstructsthem to clear “all dishes and foodstuffs” out of their cupboards, and “remove all animals, birds, goldfish, etc.” from the apartment The letter distributed by the tenant includes a Material SafetyData Sheet (MSDS) for Baygon, which clearly St&es the ‘hazardous ingredients and toxicity of the chemical. Under the heading “Special Precautions & Storage Data,” the document warns: “DO NOT store near any materials intended for use or consumption by humans or animals.” Ian Fraserof Health and Safetywas quick to assure Imprint that the warnings about the pesticidesdangers applied to the substancein bulk quantities. “Baygon is also contained in pest strips, the kind you hang up to catch flies,” he says. “It’s such a non-toxic substance that it isn’t even regulated under the Pesticides Act.” He explained that someone could be exposed to Propoxur, in the amounts present after application, for a 40-hour work week and still show no ill effects,’ of

According to Fraser,the main hazard with Propoxur is not the Baygon that it contains, and chloride methyene the but trichloroethylene that it is dissolved in for application. If cornbusted, these two chemicals give off a compound called Phosgene, one of the main components of mustard gas. Fraser was quick to ‘assureImprint of the proper context for this danger. “That would take a very hot tire, and it would have to be stored in bulk. In the form that Propoxur is applied in residences, the two solvent chemicals will evaporate within *an hour of application.” W.%iedel, manager of MSA, expressedhis ,surprise about the sudden interest in the chemical. ‘This spraying program has been going on for years,” he assured Imprint. “It’s only the resistanceto it that is new. With the transient nawe of the residents,there is a real cockroach problem.” The pesticide is normalIy applied in all of the apartments about once a year, and more often for those where infestation is serious. Harry Hutt, of S&way Pest Control’Servicesof Kitchener, is the man in charge of carrying out the tipplication. He shared Fraser’s views of the pesticide’s harmlessness.‘me Propoxur is not even sprayed,” said Hutt. ‘It is not atomized. It’s just applied/&a crack and crevice treatment in a liquid form. The target of the treatment is the cockroach,so the liquid is concentrated for that insect It is applied around the pipes and sinks in the kitchen and bathroom and-in the cabinets.” He also expressed surprise about the residents’ concerns. “We’ve been conducting this program since 1974. Propoxur is a federally approved pesticide,and the workers who’apply it don’t wear masks or anything just regular work clothing.” Nick OzarukJXrector of Health and Safety, expressed coneem over the ad hoc basiswith which the tenant informed the other residents. “If someone has a concern about toxic chemicalsbeing used on campus,come to us and we can test the area.We are testing loca~ons on the campus regularly. Writing a letter to all of the other residents first only upsets people unnecessarily.” ,

After all this preparation, the lecturer will direct the person with confusing doctrine and end by interpreting for the group.

But then they pressured me into

going out three, four nightsa week to different meetings.They were always hounding me to get some of my friends into the Movement.”

The Waterloo Board of Education circulated a memo to its secondary schools last week, warning teachers about the Movement’s recruitment drive this summer. But educators fear it is a warning come too late.“All my kids got out two weeks ago,” said one area principal. There have been no attempts to create a Movement club with the Federation of Students.

What is Democracy? Is Democracy workiag?While there are no clear answers to such questions,it is important to consider them so that we can act in our society. The term “democracy” has no universally recg&nizedmeaning. In fact, almost all of the statesaround the world describe themselves asbeing democratic. For some, the word “democracy” is synonymous with “freedom” or “equality”, and for others the idea is something worth dying for. Most agree that an important element of democracy is a free and fair election, open to all as voters and as candidates. However, there are many questions that this requirement does not answer. Do the decisions made by the majorityfavour the l&g-term interests of the society or are they biased towards the short-term interests of representatives who. strive for re-election? Who controls the timing of elections and the limits on campaign spending? (ln the United States,the presidential election is held’ every four years without fail, whereas in Canada the Prime Minister, within limits, is free to set the date at his own desiring.) What are the relative merits of these methods? How much does the system of representation allow for public input into decisions? Can a nation of 25 or 250 million be governed wisely with one representative for every hundred thousand or million people? How big is too big? Is a smaller government more just or less efficient? Is there a danger of the “tyranny of the majority” in a democratic state?Can a constitution be effective in protecting individual liberties and the cultures of minority groups such as native Canadians or the English within Quebec? All of these questions, and not just the last, are very relevant to Canadians at this point in history. “Is the Meech Lake Accord part of a democratic process?” - this is a question to be answered.

,

\

First of all, public input into the decisions made were absolutely minimah The only contact with the citizens was a set of hearings which resulted in nothing more than recommendations. Nor ,wasthe Accord mentioned frequently enough to be an issue in the last federal election. How democratic can his involvement in. the process be? Similar concerns could be ra.” over decisions regarding the cuts to vlr rail service and the Goods and ServicesTax,both of which were, like Meech Lake, introduced when the government was not popular with the majority of Canadians. But the Meech Lake Accord is even more significant than these issues: it would have altered the constitution, the fundamentai law of the land. - There would have been the possibility of changesto the effectivenessof the charter of rights, and repercussions for the long-term state of the country through Senate reforms. The government of the country must be ..._ . more open to public involvement in the malcing of such decisions. Holding a few token public hearings after the decisions have been made behind closed doors, as Premier Peterson of Ontario proposed to do, should not make anyone feel any better represented. Perhapsa national referendum on a new constitution is the only way to involve the country in deciding its own future. But now that the Accord has failed, where do we go? We, the average citizens of the country are the losers if the structures that ’ created the Accord remain closed.They must be opened to us if we are to continue to call our society a democracy.

are slim. Canada has torn down the constitutional house and has been left out in the cold. T& of separatism in Quebec is far m?re disquieting &day than in 1980. In the past decade Jean Chretien’s farcical caricature of the simple and charming habitant has given way to and confident successful Quebecois(e). In -1987, this confidence manifested itself as a solid confidence in Quebecken secure and self-assured place within the Canadian Constitutional family. Today, after three years of hurtful comments and finally rejection, Quebeckers’coniidence hasturned into a cold and rational acceptance of Quebeckers’economic and social ability to exist as an independent nation. In 1980, arguments were mostly emotion and hot air. The three yearsof intense navel gazing that followed the Meech Lake Accord causedus to question our self-esteem with every minute piece of lint that is found. I question whether thii parade of self-important constitutional lawyers, pol3icians and ideologues was in the national interest. I question if Canadians (aside from Clyde Wells and Elijah Harper) are willing to gamble away their country over whether or not a piece,ofpaper includes their issue, all issues.most don’t even care about issues.The Meech Lake Accord has become an icon and a focus for their hatred and resentment of Quebec. The beauty of Meech is that it recogn.&ed Canada’scultural duality and regional diversity. The problem with Meech is that became too much of an issue. For three years, the qational f&us has been directed at what makes us different rather than at what binds us together asa country. The sad irony is that our diversity should bind us together, not drive us apart. In our 123rd year, we must realize that francophones, anglophonesand all Canadianssharemany common idealsand values.Strangely,one of the things we have in common is our ‘diversity. These things we have in common bind us together into a country cilied Canada.What makes the concept of Canada so miraculous and beautiful is that becauseof this diversity,.not in spite of it, we are a nation bound together by these common values,ideasand a shared vision for our great country. Happy Canada Day. Celebmte, but keep your fingers crossed. .

FORUM Black and Blue To the editor, Are we back in tie fifties? Are we going to repeat the past? Are we really going to oppress the blacks from their freedom of expression once again? Yup. Looks like it! The white majority has all of its shields up in defense of their bourgeois morality. Sex, the most bio-rhythmic form of entertainment has always been associatedwith black music, and as we all know, black music has been the root inspiration for popular American music, So why ban Miami’s 2 Live Crew just because it’s slang music?

If it is so offensive, then go live in Miami’s ghetto for a few weeks. Suddenly, it will all soon feel commonplace. Black slang is black slang and if it offends white folks, well gosh! We are sure that some white folks offend black folks with their slang. If this censorship continues, it will give these moralists the right to purge evejrthing that they personally don’t like. How will groups like 2 Live Crew ever get out of their Miami ghetto if these purists ban the tunes? These ghettos are by-products of white urban-classcapitalism anyway. Sometimes we wonder if money and power are really the baseof this debasement. Right now black music has a spectrum that is wider than ever, including mainstream R&B, rap, black adult contemporary, gospel,house, hip-hop, and contemporary jazz. That is a big chunk of the music industry’s revenues. That is a race of people fighting hypocrisy through the medium they know best, music. No guns or violence involved. That is power married to technology. The Staff & Crew of the WW Ik0d Store Note: Record Store empbyee Chris Wodskou completelydimvowsany connectiunwith this later. - ed.

Struttin’ with some Barbecue To the Editor, This letter is to respond to an item in the June 15 issue of Imprint. The article refers to an event that began at Speaker’s Corn& on June 9 that was held by local members of a world-wide group of people called the Movement. As a member and a UW alumnus, I would like to clarify some ideasand points of incorrect information that may have led to misunderstanding of the Movement. The purpose of the event asa “Celebration of the Human Being” or “Humanize KW Day” was entirely overlooked in the article which also mistakenly aligned the Movement as purporting “to be a group combatting environmental issues.” Although many members of the Movement (including myself) are active with other groups in raising awarenessabout the environment and social justice, these groups are not the primary concern of the Movement. Even so, positive points about the Movement’s involvement with such organizations was overlooked entirely by Hagey and Bright in their article. Nor was there any hint that these writers had searched for comments from current members of the Movement. An entirely one-sided piece of non-journalism was the result. Primarily, the authors’ position was that the Movement is a cult. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Clearly, the Movement m+y be perceived by some to be the largest (CuRwltly about 17,000) and must numbering dangerous cult on the face of the earth, but there is nothing secret about team meetings. All members and interested friends and family are invited to participate. In addition, is masshypnosis by the media and government to be condoned while “personal hypnosis sessions”are not? The article also ignored the many positive impacts of a group that is building a structure of human beings dedicated to overcoming the primary values of a violent z.T ..-.Cn-/-,,#-a.. --A ,,.A.,,\ 71, Ird-..a-*-&

intends to replace these purported values with the intrinsic vake of non-violent human communication. Who’s abusing who&c)? Why was the spokesperson from the Council on Mind . Abuse left unidentified? Perhaps the person knew COMA had incorrect tiormation. The statementthat the Movement was “new to the area’% false,asit has been active for at least 15 years.And, although I have a certain interest in the functioning of religious cults, I do not appreciate being compared with “the Moonies.” In my single year of involvement with the Movement, I have never been prevented from action or violated in any way similar to that reported by victims of “the Moonies.” Nor would I attempt to violate anyone else in that manner. I think that for a news item in Imprint, the Hagey and Bright article suffered from glaring insufficiencies that should have prevented its publication. I hope that, in the future, the interests of current local members of the movement >willnot be overlooked. I eagerly invite the investigations of the Federation of Students and other interested individuals or groups into the activities of the Movement. This will benefit in awakening those connected with UW that we can’t be ‘apathetic any longer. We have o work together, and we begin by acknbwled&ing that a system basedon violence and suffering must be overcome. Kim A. Dawson ww Alumnus

Ain’t

Misbehaving

To the ator, Although I agree,with some of what Peter Brown said itr his editorial, “GSA Considered” (Imp&t, June IS), I feel I must make some corrections. As Corporate Secretary of the GSA from June, 1988 to January, 1990, I- chaired meetings, looked after minutes, reported to the government and was to ensure that no actionsof the GSA contravened our by-laws. I wasalso to actasan arbiter between executive members over conflict of duties. Regarding Brown’s problems with contraventions of Robert’s Rules,I should clarify that GSA Board meetings are run in accordance with our by-laws primarily, but any procedure not governed by our by-laws is deferred to Robert’s Rules. The president gives a lengthy report at every meeting making it awkward for him/her to also chair the meeting; therefore, the Corporate Secretary, according to our by-laws, has always chaired. Regarding the “down-grading” of positions, Brown’s claim that the President was given more power “than aimost all boardmembers realize” is rather bold considering he was not there and displays no background knowledge of the matter. 1 was on the committee that changed the job descriptions. Business Manager was changed to Bar Manager to focus the position on running the bar, no the President. It also removed much of the house Manager’s managerial burden (a source of complaint from previous House Managers) SOthii position was changed to House Liaison Officers, with some clarCation to the effect that the President would be the direct supervisor of the Bar Manager, which has always been explicitly under the Resident’s jurisdiction So the President gained no auth&ity from these changes. However, Brown is correct in noting that the formation of the Office Expansion committee conflicts with the mandate of the House Committee. But the fault does not lie. with the way the GSA is organized, but with the current President, Nelson Joannette.The proper course for his office expansion plan would have been through the House Committee first - anyone can present ideas to the Committee - then, if problems arose,the dispute could have been turned over to the Board to settle. The Board, through the Corporate Secretary in particular, has the means and the duty to stop such power-usurping antics;it is simply a matter of motivating them to action. CarlRHahn hrmer

Sexism becomes an issue * once again I

To all students, This letter is in response to the poster circulated around the Engineering Buildings almost two weeks ago. I heard about this paster after coming back from the Ontario Federation of Students conference. After an extremely productive week dealing with gender issues,it’ was like a slap in the face when I came back to UW and had to respond to the poster. There are numerous reponses I could make to a poster of this nature and I have decided to make an inquisitive and educational response, I want to know what was going through the people’s minds when they were putting together this poster. Did they realize they were being sexist,degrading the two female executives of the Engineering Society?Or did thesepeople just think it wasa ‘harmless’ joke? To instigate conversation about this incident and others at Canadian universities, there will be a forum on Wednesday, July 4 at 7:30 pm in the Great Hall, Campus Centre. The agenda will include a film and a discussion afterward that will address any issuespeople may wish to discuss. I must state that is is unfortunate that these explosions of anger are the ‘only moments when sexism becomes a campus-wide issue. Moreover, I am disappointed by atendency of many students to write-off those who dqnounce sexism at the University of

Waterloo as ‘militant feminists,’ thus making the issue more radical than it really is. LabeIling this issue as something out-of-themainstream reduces its significance aswell as alienating those who may indeed be offended by sexism, but don’t wish to be linked with ‘radicals.’However, I believe that the Univerm sity of Waterloo holds precious few radicals.I have a lot of respect for these people. They are part of a small group dedicated to further improving the environment for women at this university. Institutions and attitudes hostile to the presence of women preserve the status quo so well that it takes some kind of last straw - so far usually encompassing engineering activities - to attract campus-wide attention to women’s issues.I’m hoping that the forum dealing with gender issues will take up the subject of how women are treated and perceived on campus. I urge every student to attend this informal forum becauseincidents such as this poster affect every student at the University of Waterloo.

Higher Than Hope: The Authorized Biography of NelscmMandela

by FatimaM&r Penguin 429 pages.

With last week’s visit to Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal of the deputy leader of the African National Cong%s, Nelson Mandela, a closer examination of one of most important moral, political and social leaders of our time is warranted With that in mind I picked up the latest biography about the man. Nelson Mandela entered prison in 1963 a mere man and, as the past four months since his release have shown, emerged myth-like. Yet Mandela, from his first speech upon his release, from 27 years in South African prisons, attempted to dispel this kind of talk Tothe chagrin of some,in his first speecheshe refused the mantie of supra-histtoricalsaviour, and instead embraced the role of activist, and African National Congress militant. In fact, there was no other course. No one knew better than he that Nelson Mandela could not personally delivgr the substanceof a transition to democracy from a reluctant South African government. It would be necessaryto organize ever more effectively to give weight to the continuing demand for such a transitioh With this in mind, what is required is a coherent mass movement, not a single voice - even if that voice has been ennobled by historical circumstanceand personal sacrifice. Still, Nelson Mandela remains an easy figure to romanticize. Despite his, prosaic speaking style, there is something larger than life about him This much is clear from Higher I&zn Hupe,a serviceablebiography by Fatima Meer, herself an distinguished South African sociologist, activist and close friend of Man-

deh and his family. She reveals the stuff of Mandela’s considerable heroism in her accounts of his unflagging spirit under trying jail conditions. This is a spirit as inspiring to others incarceratedwith him asit will be to the readers of Meet’s book Meer’s account of Mandela’s development as a political militant also does justice to his status as a historical leader. Not that there is anything paxlicularly startling or innovative about her wriw yet Mandela’s intellectual growth from an early, rather exclusitit black nationalism toward an all-embracing panracial democratic perspective is well handled, as is Meer’s account of the reasons that led Mandela to embrace armed struggle in the 1960s.On politicalquestions Meer most often lets Mandela speak for himself - large settions of his famous speech from the Rivona clock in 1963 are incorporated into the text. Mandela’s voice reveals @e personal side of the man. Meer has had accessto many of Mandela’s prison letters (and has also profited from the opportunity to re+ise an earlier edition of this book in the light of 18 hours of interviews with him in prison in 1989). The latter part of the book is given over to an engaging set of extracts from such letters, those written to his wife, to his two sons and three daughters and to friends. Here Mandela’s warmth as well as his rich intellectual curiosity reveal themselves most clearly. And if occasionallyhe takes on the role of a somewhat over-concerned father, endlessly hectoring his offspring about their education, he seems all the more human for that. Interestingly, this biography is almost as informative about Winnie Mandela as it is about her husband. This is welcome, for Winnie Mandela has emerged as a highly visible public figure in her own right and, in some respects,a highly controversial one. PerhapsMeer glossesover some questionable events in Winnie’s life - most notably her sanctioning of “necklacing” some years ago and the apparent murder, in 1988, of a Soweto youth activist by members of her own immediate etitourage. Yet in Meer’s account,

Posters by Peter Brown imprint staff The sexist spotlight has returned to UW’s &-@neering Faculty again lastweec when posters appeared depicting the president and vice-president of the Engineering Society, both women, as strippers. Several8 and a half by 11 inch flyers, found tacked up to bulletin boards in some of the Engineering buildings, show a photo of president Andrea Jane Baxter and vice-president Katherine Koszamy, and the emblem of Splashes,a local strip-club. This negative publicity comes at a time of historic change in the Engineering Society. When Baxter and K oszamy were elected recently, they were the first women in the hi+ tory of the society to f?ll the two positions at the same time. Baxter is the- second ever woman EngSoc president. Also, the Society had just dropped the word “Ridgid” from the name of the faculty’s 22-year-old mascot The Tool. Curiously, the postersappeared to be stamped with the Engineering Society’s logo, indicating that they had been approved for posting on bulletin boards. l)e originators of the posters obviously pasted on a logo photocopied from a legitimate poster. Engineering Facultyand university officials are investigating the incident to locate the creators of the poster. The recently amended university Policy 33 on ethical behaviour could apply in this situation.

Hutchinson is visibly enthused about how well preparations for this year’s Brigade have progressed. Although there is stitl quite a bit of work to be done, shebelieves:“We’re going to get this whole thing accomplished in less than six months.” She attributes this smoothnessto her &se-knit, cohesive group, whose members offer “quick and practical help” to the project and to one another. Although some group members were uneasy about making the trip to Nicaragua so soon after the country’s turbulent elections, the group has decided that its work must continue. Hutchinson insists:“We’re an apolitical organization, and our commitment is to the people.” Canadian Light Brigade III members will be leaving for Nicaragua on July 16, and will spend the first four weeks of their stay there touring the country and visiting cooperatives, daycares, and schools. Group members will be biieted with local families. Together with officials from Nicaragua’s Ministry of Education, Light Brigade members will also spend some time assessing schools and selecting one to be renovated next year. There is no formal application process to become a Canadian Light Brigade member. Although this year’s Brigade is full, the group is acceptingapplications for Brigade IV, which will take place in August, 1991. - For more information about Canadian Light Brigade,or to fmd out how you can help organize fundraising events for the group, contact Kylie Hutchinson at 7462553. Upcoming fundraising events include a ben&t screening of Bugdad Cafeat the Princesson Wednesday,July 11 at 7100pm.

Winnie remains heroic, especiallyin her gritty response to an unending nightmare of persecution by the apartheid state. Meer’s story, warts and all, proves asrichly evocative of Winnie’s life as that of her busband in demonstrating the brutality of the apartheid regime and the ability of those who oppose it to cling to dignity and to their high moral purpose. Without doubt this is the most marvelous thing of all about the Mandelas.

News Rallying Round the Flag

The OFS and its Heroes. by Kim Speers Federation VPUA The Ontario Federation of Students held its Annual General Meeting in Windsor, Ontario from June 10 to June 17. Board of Internal Liaison chair Daniel Shipp and Vicepresident (University Affairs} Kim Speers, myself, attended the conference for the entire week, while President John Vellinga and Board of External Affairs chair Curwin Friesen came to Windsor for three to four days. The OFS,founded in 1972,is On&o’s provincial student organization and represents about 200,000university and college students to the government, the media, and the community at large. It was founded on the assumption that, just asstudents were becoming interested in ensuring that their voice was heard at the college and university level, students should also present the government with an official student representative. All major decisions are made by the plenary, which<is a general meeting of the membership. At these plenary sessions,the larger schools have more votes than the smaller ones; for example, UW Feds have three votes, while Lambton CoIlege has one. General meetings take place twice a year, and between those meetings decisions are made by a seven-person Board of Directors. The conference itself was extremely productive and useful for the University of Waterloo in many ways. UW alumnus Tim Jacksonbegan his term as chair of the OFS at the conference,and two other positions were also filled by UW students. Curwin Friesen will be a representative for the Union of Ontario Universities, the communication link between the OFS and the universities, and I will be the OFS Women’s Commissioneruntil June 1991. Also, UW will host the next OFS conference in January, a- chance for UW students to see student politicians at work, The meeting was productive and a learning

experience for all of those involved. One of my goals for this conference was to see envirtinmental issues addressed, since there were no formal initiatives undertaken before. I organized meetings and helped form an environmental ad hoc committee to work on the riumerpus ideasdiscussedby the standing committee. Other important student issues&h astuition fees, uality of education, accessibility, and unde l2Lriding were alsti discussed,and many people expressedconcernsabout international shidents, disabled students,and francophones.

Also, for the first time ever, a ‘men’s forum’ formed where only malesattended to discuss the issue of sexism.From what I have heard, both sessions were extremely enlightening for both the men and women. I encourage you to get involved in helping out with OFS conference in January. It’s an excellent way to meet student leaders across the country and it’s a great way to learn more about the issueswhich directly affect students acrossthe province.

sus componentcy, the quality of education, and tuition fees.Although there are some differencesof opinions within the CFS,this is not a surprise since student representativescame from every province and territory in Canada. The CFS conference was an excellent chance to meet students from acrossCanada to share ideas, goals,and dreams. Furthermore, the CFS services provides some excellent programs for students The I.S.I.C.card, Student Saver,health and dental plans, CFSnet, and Travel Cuts are all great serviceswhich we as tTw students must utilize t0 the fullest. 1 However; the main advantage to the CFSis the political ,lobbying the organization does regarding our educational concerns. There are many things I have learned at this conference that I hope I can relay to the students at this university. Lfanyone has any qncems or questions regarding the conference. or about CFS in general, please contact Kim Speers at the Federation of Students office anytime.

tirn UW News BUIVMI On Sunday, July 1, Waterloo Region is invited to join the University of Waterloo in the celebration of Canada’s 123rd birthday.

His finby Sally Johnston Reprinted from Canadian Science dings are contrary to traditional archaeologicalviews, which presume NWVS that oste,ntatiousburial sites were for the rich and powerful, and simple Graves and burial monuments graves were for the lower social speak volumes about the people classes. “I have upset the traditional pattern buried there. But the stories they telI are not alwaysthe most obvious ones, of interpretation,” says Cannon. “I says University of Toronto arch- think I have struck some raw nerves. The trouble is that we try to stabilize aeologist Dr. Aubrey Cannon. Mortuary practicesfollow fads and the past. But we must think of it as a fashions the sameway as clothes and changing, dynamic place subject to etiquette do, he points out. At certain cycles of expression and display.” Cannon compared mortuary times in history, a fancy grave was as much a statussymbol asa flashy car is behaviour in four culturesVictorian and modern England, histoday. An elaborate grave with an ornate toric Iroquois in what is now the monumental headstone is as likely to northeastern United States, and be the final resting place of a poor ancient Greece. He first did a survey farm labourer as that of a country of 3500 19th-century grave monsquire. It all depends on the historical uments from 50 villagesti rural Camcontext - the period when the cor- bridgeshire, England, as part of his

doctoral studies at Cambridge University. He found that in Victorian England funerals offered mourners the excuse to express their social standing, or at least that to which they aspired. At the beginning of the period, it was typical for the wealthy to distance themselves from the masses with lavish funerals. Wealthy Victorians loved black feathers, for instance, using them to adorn the horses and hearses in the funeral procession. Eagerto emulate the rich, the poor would then make huge financial sacrifices to bury their dead in similar flamboyant fashion, says Cannon. “The Victorian period was one of unprecedented ostentation in funeral ,pageantrythat was the equtil concern, if not obsession, of the highest and lowest extremes of the social spectrum,” 1 he says.

To T,Your by Pete Myers Today’s research in nutritional immunology involves sorting out the immune enhancing - and sometimes, if you take a lot of vitamin supplements, immune suppressing effects of various nutrients. According to the latest research,these compounds are among the most important in optimal immune functioning.

Vitamin A and Carotenoids protect against tumor growth, possibly by boosting white blood cell activity. Deficiency results in decreased immune functioning. Excess supplementation of Vitamin A is toxic. Vitamin A is available in liver. Carotenoids are vailable in most fruits and vegetables,especially those with orange flesh, such ascarrots and cantaloupe.

But then, when elaborate funerals were becoming too commonplace the wealthy reverted to simple burial sites and ceremonies. Cannon found that the diversity of monument shapes increased until the middle of the 1800s then markedly declined. The upper crust tended to use certain monument styles before they peaked in popularity, he says. However, the lower classes frequently gave their dead monuments that were fast becoming unfashionable with the noblefolk “The outcome was a simplification and standardization of grave monuments that has contimied into this century,” states Cannon. Today British civic and church authorities frown on elaborate burials. Funeral fashion fads occurred in ancient Greece too, saysCannon. For

instance, the numbers and types of metal offerings placed in Greek grav& increased significantly from 1125 B.C. to 760 B.C.,followed by a sharp decline which was started by the upper echelons of society. - In the early 17th century, wealthy Iroquois living in what is now the northeastern United States would hand out to mourners, and pack into graves, beaver skin robes,she11beads, axes, kettles and other items of value. The poorer folk copied the ritual. But tribal fashions changed in the 18th century when simplicity caught on for gravesand funeral ceremonies. Today, the Iroquois still favour simplicity and prohibit burial with glass beads or anything red. Cannon’s research was funded by the Social Sciencesand Humanities ResearchCouncil of Canada.

Of Bears,

Other notables were Joseph Shaw as ParsonEvansand Andrew Jacksonas Abraham Slender. The play is set in Victorian instead of Shakespearean England. The script’s the same,but the actorsget to wear neat costumes - beanies and knee pants. One of the members of the junior company even got to wear a bear suit, because ya know those Victorians were really into trained bears. As we mingled in the lobby during the intermission, chatting pleasantly with one and all about the wondrous first act, we overheard people complaining about not being able to hear very well. (Actually, we completely made that part up, except for overhearing people complaining about the sound.) Although the volume was just right for those of us sitting in the sixth row, those at the back and in the balcony had to strain to hear the dialogue, especially during sceneswhich were set to music.

T’heMerry Wives of Windsor Stratford Festival numingu.ntilNov.11 by Julia Farquhar and Peter Brown Imprint staff

So what could be a better postlude to a truly romantic pre-play picnic than an evening at the theatah with Petah?In spite of almost being killed on our way to the theatre by a transport truck who decided he just f had to run that red light, we had a sim\ ply mahvellous evenmg. Anyway, enough about us. For’ those of you who haven’t read the play, here’s what happens. During a visit to Windsor (not the one down by Leamington), Sir John Falstaff decides to woo the wives of Frank Ford and George Page,two wealthy residents of the town, by sending identi-1 letters to the two women. When they discover what Falstaff is planning, they persuade Mistress Quickly to help them encourage and trap the fat philanderer. As expected, their husbands eventually find out as well.

On ‘The Hammer Song”’ a hybrid of the on/off aural assault of “City of Refuge” and the staggering stream of consciousness hallucinogen& of “Gamy,” Cave castshimself yet again as the persecuted man, repentant of his guilt but not of his unnamed crime.

The big giveaway with JamesRayis that he’s onMerciful Release,a label founded and owned by Andrew EIdridge of The Sisters Of Mercy. In fact, the G@‘iproject by The Sisterhood featured the vocals of James Ray and not, as most thought, Eldridge. 1 Information about Gangwar is pretty hard to come by.

The whole record sounds,feeh like it was recorded in an open sewer. “Butterfly Potion” is a gasp from the

down is “Mexico Sundown Blues”. I’ve also heard rumours about a compilation (?) CD called A Nav Kind Of Assawin. So it’s the ’90s now, a much different world than the nuclear-angst ridden late ’80s; nobody talks about the bomb much anymore. What can the doomsayers say? Does anyone want to listen? It’s not surprising, then, that “No Conscience” sounds like an outtake from The Sisters Of Mercy’s Floodland LP circa 1987. Wailing guitars, alternately crashing walls of sound and silence, and some silly lyrics like “.ino one hasto suffer these years.” Nice, fun, done before. The Bside “Destination Assasination” is equally as “good” although it sounds like a rehash (read improvement) of an oid tune called “Goodbye Johnny.” So Ray’sbehind the times by a few years.Maybe that’s what goth has to do to survive in the ’90s.

The Princes of the Ponces.The Top of the Transvestites,The Fairy Foursome. Call them what you will, but Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher, David Gahan, and Alan Wilder, collectively Depeche Mode, have been the kings (queens?)of synthpop for the greater part of the 1980s.And with the new decade comes their latest album IGulutur. I But unfortunately for the increasing number of DM fans,this Lp comes across rather flat. Pluluturdoes not have the substance of its immediate predecessors: the powerful Huck &Zehqkm and the internationally successfulMusic For Zle Masses. Yet one great thing about this release is that it contains alI original material - no rehashing. (Justwhen I was all set to ‘hear “Fly on the Windscreen Part 73.“) Currently in the top 10 of the UK and U.S.charts, Vb!iztor has already spawned three singks, the latestbeing “Poicy of TrUth.” That track features an imaginative and’ eerie intro which blends into the usual plain DM drum sequencesand FeIodic ba&ground v-1 support. The more danceable “Personal Jesus”and “Enjoy the Silence” are the other two singles which compliment the aIbum, despite their senseless lwcs. Then again, Gore has never been known asone of music’sa&time great lyricists. XT ‘World In My Eyes,” my favorite track, has potential as a fourth single on the album.

keption, Philip Roth’s latest novel, seemsstraightforward enough at fnst. It is the (seemingly) somewhat slight tale of two adulterous lovers an expatriated Yank writer living in London, and his Btitish mistress. The catch is that the entire novel consistsonly of dialogue between the two illicit lovers. In this way Roth slowly reveals the characters and backgrounds of the two lovers. At first, the mistressis the talkative one: she tells her lover about her ambivalent relationship with her husband, her neuroses as a mother, and her confused feelings for her lover. Gradually, the man begins to ’ reveal himself as well. He is a Jewish American novelist living in London (the affair takes place in the studio in which he writes) who is obsessed with British anti-Semitism; real or I imagined. Interspersed with the conversations of the lovers are flashbacks- conversations with women the writer has been involved with in the past. As a tale of sexualpolitics, then, the novel is a pleasant enough way to spend an afternoon. But the real interest of Lkeption (and the real

Waterloo men’s basketball coach Don McCrae is sh&ng slight signs of aging after 20 years at the helm, but with it comesmiles and milesof court knowledge and experience. He is, arguably, the most influential figure in Canadian university basketball. Maybe that is why the 1989-90 Warriors, even without a consistent leader,still made it to the OUAA West Final Four. Here is a recap: The Warriors’ success in their exhibition schedule showed promising potential. UW finished the preseasonat 11-6, highlighted by a gold ‘medal finish at the Ottawa Tip-off Totiment and the bridesmaid role as the host of the Naismith Classic. But the real testwould come in league PbY.

anchorman began to the 1990 warriors, as Troyak topped the score sheet with 18 points. Rookie sensation Chris Moore poured in 11 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. January 20 at Brock: In thii tilt, the Warriors finally got something they couldn’t get in their four previous outings - an early lead, 10-2,including two treys by’zienchuk. From then on, UW controlled>the boards well and kept a strong defence. Building from their own end out, the Warriors stayed ahead for the entire game, winning 75-59. Interestingly enough, while Brock was ranked eighth in Canada going into the game, Waterloo held the Badgers to 20 points below their seasonaverage. _ me highlight of the game involved a routine slam dunk by Ron Braley, who was open like 7-Eleven on the weak side. The tame jam caused the ball to remain trapped in the tight mesh for a split second while Braley held onto the rim. When he let go, the ball flew back up out of the rim, nullifying the basket.So,when Braley was in the same situation the second time, he did the slam dunk backwards and buried it dowri with authority. Zienchuk paced the Warrior attack with 21 points (7-for-8 from the field) and played an exhausting 38 minutes. January 24 at Guelph: Waterloo’s match up with the Gryphons turned out almost as identical as last year’s overtime tilt in the Royal City. But this time there was one difference - the Warriors returned home with the two points, winning 54-53. Both teams stonewalled each other on defence. In post-season fashion, Waterloo knotted the gameat46-46 on a Moore free throw to ehd regulation time. Then, behind by one point inside the fmal second of overtime, Troyak sank a jumper in traffic from the top of the key to clinch the victory for UW. Zienchuk put on another solid perforn%ance,

Waterloo’s 6’7” center Ron Braky was not only noted for his stuffing ability in 198940, but also his work on the boards. He ripped down 27 rebounds in his first two league games. photo by Fkter Brown January 27 vs Windsor: The Warriors were reluclant toward their rematch with Windsor after they were lambasted in game 1. This time round, UW put forth a more controlled and well executed style of game, winning 92-82. Waterloo led almost the entire game except for a couple of brief moments when the Lancerstied it up at the midway point of the first half. Zienchuk poured in a career high 26 points, including a phenomenal 5for-7 in treyland. Orchestrating the offence, Troyak logged a tiring 36 minutes on the floor and collected 19 points, sinking 8-for-10 on free throws, Q-for-5 from the hardwood, and l-for-2 from Ring Road. Quickfooted guard Jeff Nekkers led the Lancer scoring with 21.points.

UW Athletics updates senior staff duties

UW Athletics

Deptment

Administrative changes are being put into effect in the UW Athletics Department to realize better levels of service and accountability, Athletics director Way Delahey announced recently. The following appointments take effect immediately Patricia Davis moves to Assistant Director, Finance and Interuniversity Services; Peter Hopkins becomesAssistant Director, Facilities and Recreational Services; Judy McCrae, Cmrdinator of Women’s Interuniversity Athletics; Don McCrae, Co-ordinator of Men’s Interunkersity Athletics; Sally Kemp, Coordinator of Campus Recreation; and Paul Condon becomes Coordinator of Marketing for the department, Condon’s new post also includes development responsibilities for athletic.

P I

Judy McCrae will continue to math the UW field and indoor hockey teams in addition to her new responsibilities, and Don McCrae will also continue to coach men’s varsity basketball. .‘The appointments reflect an increasein responsibilities for all the individuals involved,” said Delahey. ‘There are a number of reasonswhy a resmcturing was necessary. F0r years there had been no real changes in our senior staff’s responsibilities, even though the natureof our department was changing. This restructuringattempts toaddress those changes in the nature of our operation. In general, it’s a better use of the human resourceswithin our department.” Delahey noted that because the univer&y is facing tight budgets and actual fundiq cuts in many areas, a better means of maintaining fiscal control has been instituted through the new staff &u&.re. He officially became the Director of Athletics at UW in October of 1989, after the retirement of Carl Tot&e.

The most important stat of, the aftemen was rebounding. The taller Marauder squad outrebounded Waterloo 51-26. Jeff Zownir led the way with 20 points for the Steeltown crew, while Braley canned 17 to top the Warrior scoring. February 7 vs Brockz You would have expected the Warriors to come out on the court fuming because of the Mac embarassment And with the Brock Badgers as the potential victims, a team which Waterloo easily beat in game 4, the comxt answer would have been another win for Waterloo. Right! Wrong. A skimpy crowd of 800 Warrior faithful saw their team’s offence collapse in the second half, ruining a 6-point halftime lead and allowing the Badgersto win, 80-73.The recent skid put Waterloo at 5-4 (3rd in th& West) six points off the leader Western (8l), now the number one nationally ranked team. Zienchuk paced aUscorerswith 19 points and 10 rebounds, an impressive number for a 6’3” guard. Speedy perimeter man Frank Capretta topped the scoring for the Badgers with 18 points including 4for-9 from behind the treyline.

kbruarv 10 at Laurier: For the greater piti of this basketball tilt, it looked like the Laurier Golden Hawks would upset the black and gold. But the Hawks must be pretty comfortable at the doormat of the OUAA West, as Waterloo quadrupled them in points, 28-7, in the final eight minutes to turn a possible upset into a predictable blowout. “We won it from the foul line,” summed up McCrae. “When we got the least bit ahead, they just started (fouling us and that’s what teams do near the end of the game is dare you to win from the free throw line and we did.” McCrae hit the nail right on the head. His squad went a perfect 24-for24 from the charity stripe, nailing 16 of them in the comebackeffort Braley dominated the paint to top the score sheet with 19 points, going 6-for-8 from the field and was flawless on seven free throws. He also ripped down nine rebounds.
