&sentiaUy, the festival concept of L~llapalozza failed to materialize itself at the Toronto show. Both performers and audience alike complained about the rigid secitritv measures which were upheld, These measures kept a strict rein on the seating arrangements which consequently denied the freedom of movement which the most of audience had been lead to expect. I mean this was sup posed to be Woodstock tight. Well no. It seems that the audience had the specific freedom to move, in thq most direct route possible, to the crafts tent, to the vending area, or to the other facilities. This left the crowd unable to roam throughout the stadium, or even to meander about their section in a friendly festivaLlike manner. Enslavement to a hard plastic chair for a duration of nine hours was not mentioned once in the pre-show hype which managed to nicely fill the grandstand at Inhibition Stadium. The festival aspect of the show failed on other counts as well. The &fts tent, which was supposed to halve added a whole new dimension to the show, was received as more of a freak-show carnival than the mind expanding, merry-making festival which was the tour’s raison d’etre. The best example of this was the&k@ Munipulations booth which was one ofthe most talked about &tractions of the show.

UniqueSucking L The Tape Beetles with sucking chest wound The Ridi Friday, August 18

by Dave Thomson

Imprint

staff

The one good thing about the size of Toronto is that it can offer a lot of different genres of entertainment. Inside of the sprawling housing and industrialization we call Metro, there are all sorts of little pockets of interest inside of which one can seclude themselves from the street cars and street bums outside. The Rivoli is one such place. Having never been to the Rivoli before, I was rather amazed at how small the room was where the band played. Nonetheless, we managed to find seats and while we were waiting for SCW to begin, none other than two-thirds of Colhteml Damage showed up and worked the small crowd, handing out flyers for their next show.

Although I have heard SCW before, I had no idea or preconcep, tion what a live show would be like. Turns out it was quite unique, from my limited experience. Four television screens, two people operating a computer/vcr set-up, and three people using three keyboards. Sampiemania - visual and aural.

The band played mostly new material on this evening with the first few songs, and most of the ones after that, being anti-American. The music wasn’t exactly what I would call . industrial . . . maybe popindustrial.. or &ctronic-industrial-pop . . . god I hate categorizations! You get the idea. Anyway, to briefly describe one song: there was this music with sound bites from American leaders saying stuff like “.iust say no”and “war on drugs” while the television screens were showing visual clips relating to the war on drugs - FBI busts, Nancy Reagan, George Bush, etc. And these .tideo pieces were far from amateurish; they were mesmerizing. Someone had hooked up an Amiga or something to the footage and created some neat distortion

The Tape Beetles were the headlining act, but were about impressive as an itch on my ass. Apparently, there are somewhere between three and five members in this group, although we only saw one. They had a similar idea for a multimedia stage performance, but with a twist: one guy and one projection screen A couple of proi ectors were started up and t&o orthree separate images began merging together and weaving around with poor quality music. While all this is happening, that one guy I mentioned was operating reelto-reel machines and other equip ment in front of the screen, partially blocking our view and annoying us with the dual penlight apparatus strapped to his head The music seemed to always have

Samplemania - visrral and aural effects on the screen.

The one thing that SCW really has going for it is this television idea. The fact that we live in a TV culture makes their job of commanding audience interest all the more easier. Music and nifty TV footage with Technicolor distortion - you can’t go wrong. Although the band has been around+nce the early ‘BOs, they still haven’t managed to move beyond that obscure “you went to see .who?” status. Some of that might have to do with the dubious legality of showing all of that footage. - -

that beginning-of-the-song syndrome. That is, it doesn’t seem to progress nor vary a great deal. While SCW put a lot of effort into the visual and the aural, the Tape Beetles concentrated on the visual which wasn’t actually that great either. To finish off their show, the guy operating the equipment ran the tape from one of the reel to reel’s out into the audience, around people’s chairs, through their fingers, etc, until the damn thing was all the way around the room. U-mque.

Once agGn, this year, North America’s only World Of Music And Dance (WOMAD) festival provided a panopoly of world musics and arts. Presented over the course of a weekend at various locations throughout Harbourfront. Only the insane and those with infinite energy could possibly catch the entire range of acts that were to be sampled on this weekend. From Indonesian dancers and Appalachian string bands, to British Rap bands, and even an ex-member of public Image Limited. This year’s WOMAD was notable in that there was a concerted &ffort on the part of the organizer% to increase the local content of the festival. Given Toronto’s multicultural riches, this did not lower the quality of performance at the event a jot. Among the notable performances was a wing-ding evening of folk music with The Heartbeats, a

Philadelphia-based all-woman string band, and The Oyster Band, a rockin’ British folk group who have worked with Billy Bragg among others. The Heartbeats received an ecstatic reception from the crowd in the packed Queen’s Quay tent, and responded with an hour’s worth of traditional(ish) Appalachian string music featuring tracks culled from their LPs released on Rounder records. The lineup consisted of banjo, guitar, standup bass, and fiddle, with the occasional substitution of an accordion for the banjo. One complaint which could be levelled at them was that their selection of material during their one-hour set was just a little on the sedate side. Though WOMAD audiences have never been renowned for their boogie quotient, a little more uptempo material might have coaxed a few white, middle-class feet onto the dancefloor. The Oyster Band’s set was remit&cent of our very own Spirit of the West: a bit of folk, a bit of electricity, and a lot of fun, They deftly manage to mix electric elements into their brew while maina folk&h authenticity.

by Derek Weiler Imprintstaff Outer Bunks, the new novel by southern US novelist Anne F&zrs Siddons, is something of a curiosity. The story concerns the reunion of four female college friends who are edging toward the wrong side of 50. Throughout the first 4OO-odd pages of the novel, Siddons invests a tremendous amount of care and work into strong characterizations and storylines. Given this, it is simply, shocking and appalling to see such a potentially wonderful book so totally betrayed by its ending. The book’s events revolve around its narrator, an interior , designer named Kate Abrams. While she is enjoying the fruits of a successful business with her husband, Kate is obsessed by the death of her young son, and by the possibility that the cancer which has wracked her uterus may return Nonetheless, Kate reluctantly accepts an invitation to a gathering at the home - located on North Carolina’s Outer Banks - of one of her old college fiends, Ginger Fox. Also in attendance will be the two other members of Rate’s close circle of friends: her beloved confidante Cecie and the pathetic young girl who worshipped Kate, “Fig” Newton. The story unfolds over two timelines. In the present, Kate deliberates over attending the reanion, before finally packing up and going. At the same the, her lengthy reminiscence of her college days forms the meat of the story. Siddons’ pacing and characterization here is impeccable. The four young women of 1960s Alabama become what every author wants her children to bet ‘living breathing characters? Equally strong is the book’s sense of &zce. Siddons’ feeling for the

Southern US, states and the moods they evoke (like the mixture of gentility and cruelty of the girls’ sorority) is obvious and intense. Every nuance, every action, is totally believable. The effect is spellbinding. Siddons’ prose is slightly less flawless. While she obviously spends just as much time on description as she does on character, her writing too often becomes cloying sentimentaL Sometimes it does work well, and it can be effective in portraying Kate’s bittersweet nostalgia. Sometimes, though, Siddons’ purple prose tastes of overkill. However, this occasional lapse is a minor problem. It doesn’t really impede the story, which proceeds believably. As the adult Kate meets her old friends, she must also come to terms with the Great Lost bve of Her Life: Brilliant Young Architect Paul Sibley, her fiance, had left her All Those Years Ago, in favour of Ginger Fox and Her Family’s Wealth. Siddons risks a lot by courting so many cliches at once, but with her wonderful characterization, she somehow pulls it off, dealing with the issue sensitively and carefully. Regrettably, the same cannot be said for Siddons’ treatment of the character of Fig Newton. The ugly and unpleasant Fig has blossomed into a fabulously wealthy, oversexed, beautif61 (thanks to years of plastic surgery) romance novelist.It is Fig that is the novel’s undoing. Fig becomes the crux for a crisis and resolution that is unredeemably cheap and trashy. For a novel that so thoughtfully considers themes like lost friendships and suicidal impulses (Kate’s, for fear of the cancer’s return) to suddenly become a thinly disguised paperback adventure is nothing short of disastrous.

There is much to admire and love in Outer Bunks; indeed, 90 per cent of the book is an excellent piece of work. However, Siddons’ denouement is SO inappropriate and ill-considered that the reader

cannot

help but feel bet-

rayed. As well done as most of the novel is, it simply cannot be called a great, or even good, book Not with a tacked-on finale that defeats everything the author had been trying to accomplish.

This is the third and selfproclaimed last release by the constructed entity of This Mortal Coil. With the reIease of Blued, the circle is complete. Well at least, the cycle is complete. Ivo Watts-Russell, the mastermind who founded 4AD records in Britain company responsible for we introducing bands such as Coct4au Twins, Wolf9ang fiess, and Clan of Xymox to the world), began his brooding This Mortal Coil trilogy in the mid-‘80s with the release of the masterful It’ll End in iks. This recording was expanded upon with the double-length, and equally masterful, filg?~e and Shadow album released in 1986. This brings us to the present and the summer release of Blood which is the swan-song in&IIment of This Mortal Coil. The premise of 1~0’s This Mortal Coil has always been an attempt to unite artists who would not ordinarily work together in order to see what the sessions would produce. Consequently, these albums have engaged the likes of the Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Frazer with members of Throwing Muses, Howard Devote joining members of Clan of Xymox, and Tanya DonelIy singing a duet with the Pixies’ Kim Deal. The sombre yet sonorous products of these sessions are nothing short of brilliant.

The chosen materials for Bhd are a smattering of cover songs, from such diverse artists as Mary Margeret UHara and Syd Barrett, and numerous original pieces, written by Ivo along with John Fryer and occasionally Martin McCarrick. The material all centres around the refrain: ‘Dreams are like water, colourless, and dangerous.” The songs themselves are an interwoven web which &nnect to@her as each arrangement fade into, and becomes one with the next arrangement The

Stylistically, the Wonder Stuff are pure pop. However, the fare which they offer is potent. Underneath the sugary upbeat melodies, Miles Hunt’s lyrics cut q&ally through the Nutrasweet. ‘The Size of a Cow’ was inspired by the same woman who was the motivation behind “Grotesque.” Young love becomes self-destructive and, more than a little bit, bitter - not in the sense of pining for the return of lost love, but more aptly for the return of ersonal possesions, g la “Well you’ B on’t ask

Two of these singles, “Who Wants To Be The Disco King” and “Circlesquare” the club mix, are import singles only.

For those of you keeping score at home, at the position of bass, the Stuff have substituted rookie Paul Clifford for three year veteran Rob Jones.

For Thought

is jam-

packed with no Iess than 20 different tracks and includes most of the material from her first effort that was released on a cassette.

Cadell’s rhythm method She utilizes an effective mix of spoken word and music to make people laugh at some attitudes she has encountered through personal experiences, as well as criticizing religion, the pope and fashion, to name just a few. Rather than bringing her message across in the shout-in-your-face sixnplistic manner that performers like Consolidated use, Meryn draws on her experiences to tell stories in an uncommon way that people can interpret as they wish. She also imparts a unique sense of rhythm (I know there’s a better word, but I can’t think of it) to her spoken word pieces that makes the extra difference. Take for example, the song entitled ‘The Pope”: ‘Well, I iove that man, I love him, probabIy more than he deserves. Okay, so he persecutes homosexuals, does not believe in abortion, visits with Kurt Waldeim and tells us not to take the Pill, there’s still a certain je ne sais quoi . . . Some peace, some love, some goodwill.” But the lyrics do not alone make music. You have to hear her voice and, as I mentioned, her sense of rhythm. As an upcoming Canadian performer, she has recently been opening up for bands such as Blue Rodeo, &renaked Ladies, the Cowboy Junkies, and others. So keep your eyes peeled, and go see her if you have the chance.

Hey Stoopid . Operation

Rock ‘N’ Roll

AIL. cooper, Judas Pried Dangerous

Toys, Metal Church

CNE Stadium August 19

by Rich Nichol and pder Brown xmpriirtstaff Once again, like in years past,at the annual Canadian National Exhibition there was that one day when the smell of leather, denim,and barbiturates overpowered the usual carnival titillations of caramel corn and candy floss, And tattoo-clad hard rock music lovers from 16 to 61 drove in hoards to come and pay homage to the gods of destruction. This was Operation Rock ‘N’ Roll. Originally on the palette were Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, M&&head, Dangerous Toys, and Metal Church, five bands whichhad toured together throughout North America all summer long But at a concert previous to the Toronto date, M&&head lead vocalist Lemmy fell off the stage and so Mlitsrhead was scratched from the lineup. And the concert promoters would not be so stupid as to announce that Miitiirhead wasn’t coming, remembering the onstage announcement of the last minute cancellation of Alice Co-at a CNE concert in 1985 which sparked a major riot.

grandstand, we could see behind &e stage and Halford was holding his head&d ribs. Fortunately, the injuries were only minor and Halford - who by the way must bepushingWandhas+tuallynohairleft-came out for the second song with his list in the air to a thunderous ovation. Rest put on a great show’, but it was evident that they are no longer as big as in their early ’80s era which peaked wi@e release of the 1983 album “Defenders of the Faith.“Still~ it was great to see Halford on&&rate his colleagues like a master conductor, pounding out hit after hit, and never letting the crowd settle into their seats. They continued with “Electric Eye,” “Some Heads Are Gonna Roll,” and old favourites like “Rippin” from the Sad Wags of Lkst.iny album, ending each with surprising and blin~glightingeff&s.‘ToughandEvil~was chased by ‘TainkiUer,” with continuous strobe lights and hard core drums to me merize an otherwise untameable crowd. The set ended with “Green Weshee,” an old Fleetwood Mac tune, joined by deafening cannon-Iike bangs. The true classics were of course reserved for the encore: ‘%eaking The Law/ ‘Xiving After Midnight,” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”.

The opening act, Metal Church, stuck to their usual hard-core style with little invention. Of coupe, the heavier metal fans were pumping their fists an8 swinging their waistlong hair in unison, despite the fact they couldn’t understand a bloody word the lead vocalist was saying. Nonetheless, Church did most of the material from their new release 77~ Human Factor including “Date,,,)Wh Poverty” and the title track, with “Metal Church” as their finale. Then one hour later, Dangerous Toys came on and perked up the majority of the halffilled stadium crowd with a rousing collection of party tunes, This was a band that really seemed to enjoy their live performances.

The

lead vocalist, who sounds a lot like Vince Neil of Motley Crue, sang until he was red in the face. Even more entertaining were the fad expressions of the drummer, who was either comfortably numb or well lit long before they stepped on stage. After their opening number and new hit single “Sticks ‘N’ Stones,” the lead vocalist greeted the crowd and then proceeded to mock the people who were bungie-cord jumping just outside of the stadium. “Hey you! The dumb fuck who paid $85 to hang from a rope once, wave to us man”1 guess you had to be there. But this band really got the crowd pumped up for the headline bands which would appear after sunset, Toys concentrated mainly on tracks from their much hyped new LP Hellacious Acres, including “Gimme No Lip, ” “Sugar And The Nail,” and “Angel N U.” They also included a fantastic live version of “Real Life” from their first Lr.

Unlike Priest, Alice Cooper is undergoing a weird resurgence in popularity. He has always put on a great show musically with his endless anthology. But he also converts his stage into one big magical horror show, and with each tour comes some new tricks from his sleeve. 1 As with Halford, though, one gets a sense that a man in his forties shouldn’t be prancing about the stage with a huge nail covered in fake blood. Snakes, sure. But fake blood? But unlike Halford, Alice has never been accused of taking himself too seriously

- and

this fun-loving style shines through in a live performance. He even had enough irony to prop himself up with a crutch made of bones for “18.” Cruising through crowd favourites like ‘Trash,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” and “‘Bed of Nails,“Alice kept one and all pumped with his infectious adolescence. One thing Cooper can do excellently is special effects. “You Can Go to HeB” featured a large projection screen at mid-stage which showed a surrealistic video with Alice being chaised around by all sorts of beasties. Cooper would jump through a slit on the screen at appropriate moments, apparently entering and leaving the video (and even once bringing a couple of beasties out with him). But there were moments when the music outdid the baubles, such as the guitar work in “Only When You Meet.” His opus set finally ended with the requisite “School’s Out for Summer” and his current hit “Hey Stoopid,” a song telling . young people not to take drugs or commit suicide. This from a man who looks 20 years his own senior and features lots of sadomasochism in his live shows.

Ah, but this is not a time for cynicism - it is time for celebration of the spirit of rock and roll, a spirit freely expressed during this fourband extravaganza. ’

Tour de force. Three words which get bandied about by reviewers of all str$as and genres with va@ng degrees of legitimacy. Like “the boy who cried wolf,” or the deconstructionists who make the supposed obscene words a mar&a within their work, repetition of a phrase such as “tour de force” ad nausearn belittks both its credibility, and its power. However, there is always one incident, action, or event which reconstructs both meaning and power for such a tired turn of hrase such as tour de force. Emon oP Athens at this year’s Stratford Festival is such an event, nmon is a turgid, problematic play. It recounts a tale of self-destructive altruism involving the weahhy-born and noble-bred Timon. Timon is generous to a fault which leads him to dispersing the sum value, and then some, of his estate. He squanders his estate by being the first of the famous, international playboys giving lavish banquets and extravagant gifts to his supposed friends. When Timon falls upon financial hard times, hisfiends deny him any aid as they have no interest in a sugarless sugar daddy. ’ Thus denied, Timon rages, at the world and all of its human inhabitants, then dies.

Timon in the land of Chalk Board Drawings The staging of Emon is such that it implicates the audience in the events upon the stage. Using the smaller Scale and set-up of the theatre, the stage events draw the crowd into the fray as active participants instead of innocent bystanders. To be critical, the audience members must strive to remain detached from this inclusive style of blocking. Detachment is also ideal for saving face, since inclusion into the rogues gallery of Timon’s Athens is far from a great place to be. -

Consequently, the play, not a candidate for the feel-good phy of the century, is rarely performed. Such a brooding drama demands much from the director and cast. Namely it demands a brilliant performer to take the complex Tiion and make him believable. Brian Bedford is such a performer. He brings Tinton to life by using every last fibre of his existence. His rage and hurled abuses resounded through every last molecuIe of the intimate Tom Patterson Theatre. Timon is a diverse character who changes from anticabie toastmaster to voracious misanthropist within the scope of the drama. Bedford is more than at home with all of the faces of Timon as he inhabits the role and dominates the stage.

The .Student Life Centre: by Peter Brawn Imprint !9taff This fall, the issue of student recreational and athletic space will be back on the Federation of Students’ political agenda. This year’s executive have begun the processof planning a student life centre. Those new to the university or arrivingbackafterbeingawaymaybe surprised at the ferocity of debate on this topic once politicking t@ns in earnest; but, you size, we went through all of this last year. This feature will serve to acquaint you (or refresh your memory) about the infamous Student Life Building referendum led by 1990-91 executive members Tess S&n&i and John Vellinga. The $12 million proposal wasdefeatedbyatw&cmnemargin in the November 1990 vote amidst accusations of m~proper campaign-

ing for the official YES side by VeIlinga and Sliwinski John Leddy, Ml-92 President of the Meration of Students believes that he and the whole Pederation have learned from lastyear’s debacle and plans to leave out no student groups when looking for input on this edition of the student life building Oopsl That’s the first thing bddy

THJXUN:

Vellinga and Sliwinski continued a process began by Dave Readman, Federation president in 198940, who examined student surveys taken by previous Fed administrations and compiled these into parameters for the architecture firm B&bin Brook Beynon. when the firm returned a prelidnary design in September, 1990, it bmme clear that students would be deliberating on the largest student expendihw in the history of the University of .Waterloo. The design had three plans of different size and cost The s+called Scheme A was projected to cost $12 million and would in&de a 200metre indoor track with infield activity area and 3,OOO-seat viewing gallery, along with additional meetingand actMy rooms, squash courts, and an athletic injury clinic.

Accord@ to the F&‘referendum guidelines, campaign@ must not occur before the official start of the -Pa@* Sliwinski defended VeIlinga to Imprint saying that the executive were merely expressing an opinion in endorsing the SLB. However, she refused to consider this endorsement to be campaigning. She admitted that the Vellinga and herself would be speaking for the Yes side, but only because they were the people most familiar with the architects’ design.

The other two were add-ons to this basic design, but could notbe built on later. Scheme B included a 5&metre swimming indoor swimming pooland seating gallery built in a floor below the track and ha;d a projected cost of $15 million. Scheme C contained all of the perks of A and B plus another section joining the PAC to the C&~pus Centre. This Student Life Centre would be an enlarged version of the CC with space for the Federation offices, CKMS (Radid Waterloci),JmpriM, meeting rooms, lounges, and retail space. This granddaddyofaprojectweighedinat $21 million Wanting to appear the reasonable potiticjans, Velhnga and S&vinski of course chose the most modest of the proposals: the bargain-basement $12 million version The location for the project - the large green space between the PAC and the Central Services Complex (thebuikbgwithtfiesmok@ack) was chosen because of its vicinity to existing recreational facilities, placing it “functionally at the heart of the campus.” The architects’ report also cited the high pedestrian traffic in the area. The remaining grassy area between the SLB and Central Services would be landscaped and named Alumni Green to create a “more formal ceremonial open space here which would. . . serve as the centre for graduation alumni pxercises, gatherings, and other large ceremonial @kiip.” (Aside: the majestic and ceremoniaI smokestack - it’s pretty b& you can’t miss it was mysteriously a&t from the architects’model. “Daddy, what’s that large phallic symbol beside you in your graduation photos?“) _I.

FINANCING

The SLB lan called for students to contribute l 9 million of the total $12 million construction cost. The &mining $3 dlion had been committed by the university adrninistration. This $9 million mortgage would be paid off by raising the $10 athletic facilities fee by $10 increments until it stood at $40 in 1993. T% nonrefundable fee was put in place in 1982 to finance the construction of the Columbia Icefield. Although the mortgage for that building was paid off early in 1990, the Federation, bough the Universitty, continued to collect the fee from undergraduate students. The terms of the 1982 fee referendum bound the Feds to use any excess of money, $377,000 by the fall of 1990, only for future recreation or athletic projects. The Brisbin Brook Beynon feasibility study sapped about ~$10,000 from this money. M&r the defeat of the proposal, the Peds stopped collecting the fee (starting in the winter term, 1991). /

The referendum had announced before a students began to raise the Meration’s handling

barely been handful

objections to of the affair.

The first objection came after the Heration placed an adver&ement in’ its annual student handbook contaming quotes from VeIlinga that encouraged students to’lrote YES for the Student tife Building!” At about the same time (early Sep tember), the Campus Recreation handbook was released containing a similar ad.

THE C@W!NGN Tuesday; Oct. 30 marked the opening of the campaign for the November 21-22 refe=ndum. It was then the pitching began in earnest. “There are so many reasons why we need this build@” said Michele Hahn of the YES committee. “Studies have shown that we have one of the most active student bodies, but one of the lowest amounts of recreational space per student in the province.” Other justifications of the need for the expansion was that the Physical Activities Complex is occupied onethird of the year with nonrecreational activities such as exams, career days, and conwcation.

an+l future A brand new-plan

PteSeilt,

This year’s executive - President Vice-President IOh hddy, (Operations and Finance) Steve Millard, and Vice-President (University Affairs) Lisa Brice -feel that they can learn a lot from last year’s carnpaign in the planning of a new effort. And it shows. Their preliminary plan, on the surface at least, shows that they have incorporated corrections to most if not all of the criticisms of last year’s referendum.

THE S BCOMMITTEES Subcommittee 1consult

fees, external sponsorship or corporations, and administration

There will be no shortage of input from university administration and staff, student groups, and other

sort.

The main floor of last years SLB, featuring activity area. , The committee members, all involved with varsity athletics or campus recreation as players or administrators, stressed that the facility will also provide a venue for the UW varsity Indoor Track team, which now has to practice with the Kitchener-Waterloo Track Club. But the track team would not need exclusive use of more than a couple of tracks at a time, so the facility could provide a balance of individual recreation, competitive team sports, and varsity athletics. Other YES Committee members stressed how this facility would relieve overcrowding of club space and campus ret activities. Also, any student who paid into the building (25 years worth of them) would automatically be given a lifetime membership to the facility. On top of this, the 3,500 seat@ gallery for the track could be used for other events, according to the YES Committee, though

they were not sure if the track be designed for such

surface would multi-use.

DISSENT The details of the proposal were far from the only things being discussed during this campaign. Some students were upset that the Federation had gone to an outside architecture firm first without seeking design input from on-campus departments such as Environment and Resource Studies, Urban and Regional Planning, and the School of Architecture, one of only a handful in Canada. “It seems that the expertise we have here on campus has not been used well,” said ERS Professor John Kay. “(The process) leaves me scratching my head and wondering whether this is just a glorified sports complex” Sliwinski responded by saying that the referendum proposal just contained the parameters of the complex, not a solid design, &d that input from other sources could be incorporated into the design phase that would have followed a YES result on the referendum.

campaign, student opinion flew against the proposal, defeating it by a two to one margin. In a near-record timout, 27.8 per cent of eligible undergraduates voted, of which 65.6 per cent said no and 33.9 per cent said yes. The most lopsided results and the highest turnout (44.8 per cent) came in the engineering faculty where 83.5 per cent voted no, Only the Applied Health Studies / Optometry poll voted in favour of the project, 63.8 per cent yes to 36.1 per cent no. “I was surprised by the lopsidedness of the results,” Velhnga, once Engineering Society president, told Imprint. “From the feedback I was getting I expected something closer to 60 to 40 voting no.” Vellinga left future administrations with sotie questions, though. ‘What message did the students send? What do the students want?” Sliwins~ began the process of answering these questions by developing a preliminary survey about student wants and needs with regards to recreation and athletics.

The risk in this process is that we open ourselves up to being persuaded by those we thought to persuade. But then, that’s participatory democracy - extending the circle of debate as widely as possible so each of us can articuhte our views, put our views at risk, and cuhivate clarity of thought and expression, and sound judgment.

U W disseminates

knowledge

by Bob Whitton for WW News Bureau

If one of the major missions of a university is research the discovery of new knowledge - an important correlative function involves disseminating such knowledge. Much +ssemination takes place through the teaching function; students receive new knowledge as they proceed to their degrees, and take it out into the world with them when hey leave. Knowledge also spreads when researchers publish reports in scholarly journals or books. The latter - dissemination through books is the main concern of the University of Waterloo Press, a service universities the world over provide for campus researchers. The UW Press consists of a small office area on the third floor of the Dana Porter Library. The staff comprisesGloria Smith, coordinator, and a part-time assistant. Smith’s job is to serve faculty seeking to publish books that embody the fruits of their scholarship. Often a single book summarizes years of activity. The UW Press is in no sense a major Canadian publishing operation; still, 102 books now bear its imprint, more than 60 of which have been published since Smith began coordinating the program in 1985. “Many faculty members make their own arrangements with commerrial publishers,” she says. “We are here for those who want a closer involvement with the actual production of a book. We offer a variety of services - editing, liasing with our own graphic services department tihose members do the layout, cover, specify type-styles and so forth, and computer software staff members who help automate the typesetting. Their efforts make it possible for manuscripts tq be typeset directIy from authors’ or editors’ diskettes.

“As well, we work with commercial bookbinders or printers, whatever is needed to get a book in print. All’ books are printed in Ontario, including those that feature highquality colour illusti~tions and photographs. Fhall~~ once a book is off the p&es, Ge &fer marketing se&es the world over, both directly and through stores, agents, and library serViCeS.”

Marketing Smith says, covers everything from arrarigins authors’ appearances on television and radio interview shows (including such national network programs as Good Morning America on US television and Peter Gzowski’s Morningside on CBC radio) to coaxing book&or= to stock a book while she would not claim her efforts are always as high-powered as major publishers,

Photo by Chris Hughes books that can be targeted at smalI special- . interest audiences often receive better attention from the Uw Press, Smith ins&. ~Most books bearing the UW Press imprint are scholarly or technical; alI have a UW connection - acampus person was the author or editor. Publishing costs are usualry met through granting agencies or sponsors. The budget does not permit it to finance publications. This is not unique - commercial publishers aIso rely on public support when they agree to bring out a new book. The UW Press operates on a cost recovery basis. AH expenses including part of Smith’s salary are met through book sales of journal subscriptions (the Press is -into’ journal publishing as well). It wiIl not publish a “vanity” book, where the cost is paid by the

author. When Smith gets such a request she will suggest that the author self-publish. “The other side of the self-publishing coin is that it has worked very well for some faculty members who have elected to do so,” she admits, ‘But we have to be careful. If the university imprint: is to go on a book it has to meet certain standards. Though we do not operate with an editorial board, manuscripts are subject to peer review and are referred by both internal and external expert%” The system works; last year 14 current UW Press titles got highly favourable reviews in 40 international journals. Some books are proceedings of conferences held on campus, edited by an involved faculty member; others are co-authored or coedited with experts from other universities. “As long as a book is judged academically sound and funding is there, we will work with authors or editors to publish it,” Smith promises. WW Press books include both paperbacks and hard cover volumes. They sell for as Iow as $15 and as high as $60 each. Some have had press runs of as few as 500 copies and others, as many as 5,000. Some of the more successful have been reprinted several times. “Generally, we prefer as small an initial press run as possible,“says Smith. “We have a concern not to be stuck with thousands of road. unsold copied five years down the But if a book sells well and we have to reprint, it’s not all that expensive; we have the typesetting, layout, photographs, arhvork, even the printing plates.” Smith says one of the first books she was involved with was The Art of Alice Munm, edited by Prof. Judith MiIler of Renison College. Renison is the Anglican church college affiliated with LJW. ‘7’he university had hosted a conference on Munro and her work,” says Miller, “and I was concerned thatif anyone was to publish the proceedings of the conference it should be the UW Press.

Long Point Bird Observatory. It has become a “must” for persons interested in birds and the natural history of Ontario; it is so highly regarded some avid birdwatchers have purchased as many as three copies - one to keep at home, one for the cottage, and one to carry along with them in their car.

Michael Cadman was a senior editor along with Paul 3kgles and Fred Helleiner, professors at UW and Trent, respectively. More than 1000 volunteer naturalists contribyted to the project. One of the most heart warming UW Press stories involves Sanctuary, edited by Prof. Donald MacKay of UW’s school of archikcture. It’s publication was sponsored by the Alzheimer

Society. Sanctuary tells how to plan a facility for the

care of Alzheimer

victims. There are scores of

books about the disease itself and on how to treat patients, but nothing previously on the physical design of a treatment centre to meet their needs. This book has been much ’

in demand all ouer the world and has enjoyed strong sales in the Utited States (particularly in California), as well as in Canada. According to.Smith, 60 per cent of all UW Press sales are outside the coy&y. some faculty members bring books to the UW Press because it enables them to keep in close touch with every stage of production; for example, Kit Kovacs, UW biology professor and co-author with David Lavigne of Guelph of Harps and&&: Lw-br&itig Seah of zhe Northwest Atlantic. ‘The university has talented artists and design&s and by using them we were able to participate in decisions as to photographs, colour-separation problm, and so on. 1t became an. interactive process/ Koya? _

recalls. Prof. Hildi Tiessen, dean of Conrad Grebel College, the Mennonite church college on

campus, had a similar experience with Liars and Rascals, a collection of Mennonite short stories. Though she and her husband Paul, a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU), operate their Own publishing company (Sand HilIs Books), she brought Liars and Rascal to Smith. “Sand Hills is in a diie?ent publishing area so we didn’t do it ours&&’ she explains. “Yet I wanted to keep in close touch with the hook through all stages and it’s difficult to do that if your publisher is miles away; fur in&an&n one occasion we noticed ascratch on the printing plate and got the pressman to send it back for a remake. This we couldn’t have done with a more distant publisher.” Tiessen feels the Uw Press, because of ik smallness, may be more venturesome, more creative long-established than la%e, pubIishers. ‘These days, when technology is chan@nE our approach to publishing s&dramatic& we need new attitudes within the industry,” she contends. Two new, top-notch bo&s have just been published by the UW Press: Constm’ng Carolinian Canada deals with the flora and fauna of the hardwood forests that spread from the Carolinas in the United States to the southern regions of Ontario. . . forests said to contain more endangered species than any of the other forest and wilderness aieas on the continent.

Still, losing S~H and L&we was a blow.” A book by David Winter,, kinesiology professor, Bbmechani~ and Mu& Control of Human Gait, has found a wide market among orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists and others involved in the healing professions. It is in its-third printing with a revised edition in preparation. ‘Ym sure there is one in every Shriner’s hospital on the continent,” Smith SW* “I published an earlier book on biomechanics wi@ a commercial publisher,” Winter recalls. “It was a textbook for undergraduate students, whereas the UW Press book is for a much more limited audience ._ . ** - lab researchers, essentially.

“Nonetheless, I’ve been very favourably impressed with the way the Press has gone abotit marketing it. They followed through on my suggestions as to where marketsmight be found. To the commercial publisher, my . earlier book was at the bottom of the totem pole - a very long totem pole. The flyer they produced for it was dull, and even they failed to circulate it to places where I knew there would be interest. I was disappointed.” A large book by Dr. William Lyle, optometry professor emeritus, had also had tide acceptance among members of the health care professions. It is entitled Gemtic Risks and deals with genetically-related health problems that can be diagnosed during an eye examination - diabetes, for example. It is currently in use as a textbook in optometry

schools.

She is fascinated by the f&t that a book entitled FcrelAir Explosiuns, put out 1by UW’s Sotid Mechanics Group several years ago, undergoes new waves of popularity every time a space disas#er or an -aborted shuttle mission occurs. Immediately thereafter Smith gets a rash of requests for additional copies. Unfortunately, the book is out of print. After six years on tie job she still feels her situation is an “ideal” one. She is continually anticipating a best seller or at least another “captivating project” just around the comer.
