mixed report card by D. CampbeII Imprint staff C?f the many and varied factors which will form the basis for postsecondary education for many years to come, perhaps one of the most influential will be the Commission of Inquiry on Canadian University Education’s report, commonly called the Smith Commission Report, which has just been submitted. It contained good news and bad news, plus some applause for cooperative education programs like the University of Waterloo’s, The long-awaited report commissioned

the

Association

As seen by the Commission, “the impact of underfunding has been seen most clearly in three areas: 1. the physical< infrastructure and equipment; 2. the libraries; and, 3. the teaching arrangements for unThe universities are dergraduates.” cautioned though not to simply employ a general increase in their budgets as this will not solve their problems. The second ma; problem of an imbalance between teaching and research functions was not fully addressed as it was more fully covered in a report by the Royal Society of Canada in February 1991.

Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) was given the mandate to report on how well Canadian univerare carrying out their sities educational mandate and to recommend actions for the future. This was accomplished through the use of 250 written briefs and 200 presentations as well as available statistics, results and feedback from the Issues Paper (circulated May 19X), and the Commissions own research projects. “Canada’s universities are fundamentally healthy and are serving the country well,” this rather large compilation of materials concludes. This overall rating thankfully did little to diminish the many concerns over certain aspects of the university system within a series of 63 separate recommendations put forth through the report. Some of the main concerns are: the drastic underfunding of universities, the imbalance between teaching and research functions, and an insufficient “transparency” of what universities do and how they do it. On the issue of funding, the report points out the fact that university income per student through both tuition and government funding has decreased over the last 20 years. The solution put forth is a gradual increase in both over the next few years. This recommendation is in spite of the fact that they do not see a serious decline in the quality of the education put forth by the universities.

The third main concern has already been seen by every student in this and probably every other university. Anyone who doubts that the university system is difficult to figure out has obviously never tried to read a course calendar all by themselves. Don’t get me wrong. Anyone can figure it out. It just might take them all day. BasicalIy, there are three underlying them& in the report which -if followed will allow “universities to continue to enhance their crucial service to Canadian society” or so they say. These are: “1. the balance betteaching ween and research functions in universities; 2. the ability of universities to attract and retain students, particularly from groups in society which are currently underrepresented in the student population; and 3. the need to demonstrate the quality of university education*’ These may seem a tad on the ambiguous side, however, these are to be seen only as general themes. On the other side of the coin though, the report does state that the current coop system and distance education programs are working well and do have value, so the report was not all bad. Now the truly interesting part may begin. What exactly is Bob Rae going to do with this report and how much will it cost/benefit us students?!?

Wrig,ht pleased with report I York Cafs switch to China from WV News

Bureau

The final report of the Commission of Inquiry on Canadian University Educa lion is “generally constructive,” says Dr. Douglas Wright, president of the University of Waterloo. The commission, headed by Dr. Stuart Smith, concluded that universities are “fundamentally healthy and serving the country well.” It identified areas of concern, including an imbalance between teaching and research, and the level of funding for universities. ‘This report will help to I focus public attention on universities - it generally appears to be constructive,” Wright said. “I’m glad to see that it acknowledges that there is a funding problem, while saying that universities are doing a pretty good job.” Wright said he was also pleased

that the report places a strong emphasis on teaching. “At Waterloo, we have always felt that teaching is important and we will analyze the report to see which of its proposals are appropriate for us.” The report, which contains 63 recommendations, also notes the value of coop education and distance education at universities. “Waterloo has the biggest co-op enrolment in the world and one of the largest distance education programs in North America,” Wright said. ‘We are delighted that these areas are mentioned in the report.” Wright said he is equally glad that the commission points out the extra cces - not paid for by government grants - involved in a university offering co-op edticatioti ‘At UW, those additional costs are estimated to be about 10 per cent of regular program expenses.

University’s largest food outlets have switched hOIll Styrofoam to washable china dishes, in a move that campus environmentalists are calling a victory. The Marriott company, which operates large cafeterias in Stong, Founders and Winters colleges, decided this month to switch most of their service from styrofoam containers to washable dishes. Styrofoam products are made using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are believed to cause permanent damage to the Earth’s ozone layer. They also cannot easily be recycled and do not decompose in tar&G. The move is a success for Envision York, an on-campus environmental York

formed

_ by

Jon Burke, one of the co-facilitators at Envision York, said the change has been a long time coming.

According to figures obtained by Envision York, Marriott used an estimated 9,742,500 Styrofoam cups, plates, take-out containers and white plastic cutlery items in 1990. Suzanne Cullen, director of Marriott at York, said Marriott will be able to replace about 95 per cent of their Styrofoam products with china. Marriott is still looking for nonr Styrofoam takeout containers, she added. Burke said Envision s York is pleased with the change and would like to see York’s other caterers follow suit.

Burke says people also need to concentrate on cutting down the amount of waste they produce. “Recycling is a great idea,” he said, “but it’s not the only idea.” Envision York has just won a $3,206 grant from Metro Toronto Public Works to make notepads from used photocopy paper.

Advice for Japan bound co-op. students by Michael Clifton Imprint (Tokyo Bureau)

staff

“A tremendous opportunity” is opening up for students from the University of Waterloo, Simon Fraser University,. the University of Sherbrooke, and the University of Victoria, says UW’s director of co-op education and career services Jim

Wilson. Beginning

next spring, a few students from each university will be sent to Japan as part of a “three-year pilot project, supported by the federal government.. . intended to nurture a pool of young engineers and scientists with a good working knowledge of Japanese industry” (from UW News Bureau release). The project, called the Co-op Japan Program, is costing a whopping $Imillion, which actually doesn’t seem to be very much to split between four universities and the federal government. The students who will be allqwed to go on the available co-op terms are only those who maintain a high academic average, and have completed at least ‘two terms in Japanese language studies. Presumably they will also be chosen only from among engineering and science students, although the news release did not spell that condition out. First choice will likely

years with Tottori University. This time their experience will be with one of the dozen or so companies that have expressed interest in the pro-

gram. It would

be favourable if students from other faculties could take part in this or a similar program: there is far more to Japan than its industry, and far more to Japanese industry than four-months-at-a-time participation in the .workpkce can give. In order to know what’s really going on in business, it would be Eastern studies on campus, talk to Renison College’s Prof. Swann.

perhaps students interested in the program, as many ought to be, can begin now to be ready. Pick up Jack Seward’s ?%e Japanese, and MOW about the Japanese (Lotus Press, Tokyo), for pointers on Japanese city living. They include sections on appropriate behaviour at bars, public baths (not a dirty word, or practice, in Japan), and geisha girls /Tokyo nightlife. For those with more refined tastes, any of Donald Keene’s writings on Japanese literature- and theatre are more than worth a read. His The Pleasure

Literattire Press; available at the Renison library) includes a brilliant introduction to Japanese principles of aesthetics. Anything by Reischauer is advisable as well

Varley’s Japanese Cultut~ Q short history (Charles Tuttle Company) is a brief, well-rounded look at Japanese

culture (art, architecture, literature, wars, mythology, tea ceremony, et cetera). Although they’re almost ancient now, any of lafcadio Hearn’s studies (virtually all published by Tuttle) of Japanese behaviour, beliefs, customs are still excellent guides to many traditional QrincipleS. Dana Porter libraiy has a good collection of up-to-date studies of Japan’s past.

To really understand business, try Nitobe’s Bushidu: the soul uf Jupm, a classic explanation of principles of samurai thought (various publishers; at Dtina Porter). You might get more miles, however, out of the piles of texts by innumerable know-it-alls about business and industry in Japan, that are available in Dana Porter’s and St, Jerome’s’ collections (use Boolean search to find titles you like). Nippon Steel Corporation and Gakuseisha have sometimes published Nippon. the land and its people, a very informative introduction to almost everything Japanese. An easy and useful modem history of Japan is Mikiso Hane’s, which is sometimes used as a

text in university here at UW).

(Tuttle}. As far as language goes, the best books I’ve ever seen, I’ve only seen in Japan. A green covered Handbook of Modem Japanese Grammar (by Yoko M.

Our plan is to then seek student support for it across the province before we present it to the provincial govemment sometime before April, 1992 With this update, I am seeking UW student feedback on some of the ideas we are currently working on; we are by no means finished and encourage your feedback which could possibly be incorporated into the proposal.

tem should be a partnership between students, the government, university administrations, and the private sector. The framework of this partnership would be as follows:

1. Government: To what level should we ask the protincial govemment to fund postsecondary education? Is per-student funding an accurate measure (Ontario currently ranks ninth of the ten provinces in that category). 3 What about the following facts: both the provincial and federal governments are broke and are running huge deficits. The Rae NDP government has been sending out strong signals to university administrators and students for the last month that next year’s funding Ml be less than expected. 2- Students: Stuart Smith, in his just released “Commis&on of Inquiry

per cent. This increase would accompanied with an

have to income-

contingent loan repayment program where students would have the option of not paying tuition costs until they begin to work after graduation. Income tax forms would include a special line item for university graduates and a potion of their income would be deducted until these accrued tuition costs are paid OH.

Smith is basically saying that since university students bear a direct financial benefit upon graduation because of their education (ie, the

that they

should be bearing a greater burden of the cost of that education. To ensure that financial accessibility is guaranteed, students should have the income-contingent loan option. DO you agree? 3. university Administrators: Do need to make administrators more accountable for the decisions they make the the dollars they spend? If SO, how? How do we make universities more accountable to the general public (ie, the taxpayer who is currently paying 80 per cent of the costs but seems to perceive universities as “ivory towers”) ? we

4. The Private Sector: Is it their resto fund postsecondary education? If so, should this be done through a specific tax on corporations by making it more desirable for corporations to donate to universities (ie, tax breaks)? Other suggestions?

Living the GreenLife by Teresa Kennedy Imprint staff Canada is a w&d leader in waste generation. Not something to be proud of, but more and more Canadians are taking initiatives to help make this country “green.” The University of Waterloo’s co-op residences are showing us al! how to be more environment.aIly co&ous. ‘We’re trying to do less to destroy *the environment at the co-op,” says Dave Baerg, the residence’s Recycling Co-ordinator. Baerg took over as Recycling Co-ordinator fbout four years ago. Since then, hrs role has expanded to the point where he now chairs the “Environment Committee.“ Baerg explains that a lot of environmental initiatives at the co-op have happened “on their own, with people just sort of taking the lead.” Last year, management at the Hammar Residence decided to switch to environmentally responsible cleaning products. ‘They work great and they cost less than what we were buying before,” Baerg said. “So now all the cleaning supplies the co-op is buying are from Generations, a store on Lexington Ave.” Generations sells the clean&s in reusable containers which can be taken back and refilled.

“take responsibility for the environment” Co-op residents started recycling in 1984. They started with the fine paper recycling program, and then started recycling tin cans and glass, long before the long before the advent of the blue box. “When the City of Waterloo got the political will to expand the blue box program to apartments and townhouses, I sat on the citizen’s subBaerg explained ‘We COIlUTtittW,” were one of the pilot project complexes, so now we’re recycling with the blue boxes.” For many co-op residents, composting is also part of the daily routine. “We’ve got several composters located around our complex. Residents can take out their own compost and put it in, and we have people taking Care of the cornposters - turning them, adding a bit of soil to them every now and then in order to keep them composting properly,” Baerg said.

much as we can handle. As we get more resources, more people start composting. It seems to be growing at the same rate, which works out well.” The new composters will cost about $300.00 to build, but Baerg explains that “the co-op’s been really keen to out out money. $300.00 is a

sm;ll part of the co-op budget, but the will is-mere to go outand spend some money to make us more environmentally conscious.” Recently, the co-op converted all their light fixtures to energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. Baerg said the new energy-efficient bulbs will result in drastic savings in electricity,

Pollution I

A University of Waterloo-based research team has received provincial government money to probe the quality of groundwater in the KitchenerWaterloo area. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment has awarded the Water Network $185,000 over an 18-month period to conduct the investigation in the middIe Grand River Valley. The work, invoIving six scientists from UW and Western, will try to locate the causes of the contaminationand then develop public policy proposals to deal with this type of situation This research is especially important as although the KW area is the largest in Canada which uses groundwater for it’s water supply, almost 40 per cent of municipalities across Canada also rely on this source. No doubt everyone in the region who has ever lost their thirst due to brown water in their glass. wiII be watching for the results.

Scholars at UW Either they’re getting worse or, more likely, we’re getting better because this year, the University of Waterloo nominated the largest number of Canadian Scholars. A total of 228 students in the faculties of engineering science and mathematics will receive the $2,000 annual scholarship for up to a four-year period. Students must maintain an 80 per cent grade average. The award winners are equally split between men and women Regarding the high number of award winners, Ken Lavigne, UW’S associate registrar for admissions and student awards, calls it: “‘A feather in our cap.” The faculty breakdown of the winners is: 88 in engineering 74 in mathematics and 66 in science. “We are number one . . .“ We know it. Lets show it.

The kitchens have not been able to compost before because of the amount of compost they generated. “Nomy makes a composter that big for a reasonable cost,” Baerg explained. “So we’re going to go out and buy some wood and steel mesh and build some big composters. And we’re using all the compost that we’re generating on our own gardens.” Rather than forcing it on people, the Environment Committee has been sending residents notices explaining how to compost, and letting them take their own initiative. ‘II it’s just there for them, it works+ Baerg explained. “We have to build it up slowly. Right now we’re getting as

fireside chat by Peter Brown I lost a friend Wednesday night. I had the pleasure of its acquaintance for eighteen shining months, but now it’s gone. Ai least until I make my insurance claim. In the midst of Alcohol Awareness Week, some drunkards making their way from the Bombshelter’s rock ‘n’ roI enhanced their enjoyment by trashing the rear end of my Velo Sport, 12-speed, racing-style bicycle, along with a number of others locked to the bike racks outside of the Campus Centre. Now, those of you tie know anything about bikes know that a Velo Sport is not your top of the tine number; this one cost me about $200 from McPhait’s. But not any two hundred bucks, no, not this bike. My bike and i first met in McPhail’s in April of 1990. There I was, a coupte hundred in hand, ready to lay down some hard-earned cash on something that I really needed: cheap transportation. A salesperson homed in on me, obviously keying on the bewildered look on my face as I eyed the cycling arsenal hanging above my head and propped up all around me. “I’m interested in a-Facing-style bike and I can only afford about $200 bucks,” I told the guy. With a faint sigh, he crossed his arms and tried to think of where, in this opulent splendour of geared firepower, he might locate such a paltry-priced vehicle. Finally, he turned and walked carefully to a secluded corner of the store, showing by his careful steps and his bewildered expression that he was clearly slumming it. “This one’s regularly $219.99, but it’s on sale for $189.99,” he intoned. There it was. The bike of my dreams. A light gray Velo Sport, IO-speed, racing style bicycle. “12-speed,” he corrected, reading my novice’s mind. t didn’t even consider the option that this was the cheapest bike in the place; rather, t was firmly convinced that this bike to which I had been led was the bike, indeed, the Holy Grail of bikes. One bike lock and lots of tax later, and I was exiting the store on to King Street, the proud owner of a bike, my bike, THE bike. In the months that followed, it proved to be more than a handy and environmentally friendly method of transportation. . . it became both friend and companion on those long, lonely rides home after late nights at the Imprint office. Why? Because that is how it was zarned. That two hundred bucks wasn’t siphoned 3ff of my drinking budget or splurged out of an 3SAP grant. It was an honouraria, a gift, from hpint in exchanged for scores of volunteer TOUTS given as assistant sports editor in the Ninter ‘90 term. At an average of about 20 yours per week volunteer time for 13 weeks, :hat $200 comes out to less than a dollar an qour, A long way from my six-figure salary low.

True, the money wasn’t a wage, and true, :he bike wasn’t worth a grand, but I spent that amount on it because it was all that I had at the :ime. Certainly at a University, where people study things as complex as fluid mechanics and as demanding as Kantian philosophy, it is Dossible to convey a concept as fundamental 3s respect for property. At least, that’s what I Jsed to think. And University policy being what it is, even bprint staff in the office late on productionTight Wednesdays cannot keep their bikes in :he building. It’s a health hazard, don’t ya (now. Thank you, whoever you were. With all my nsurance money, 1can take a taxi home every light.

Simply feeling ashamed of her feminist beliefs, being tolerant of exploitative behaviour (‘Tboys will be boys”), and remaining silent are signs of repression and subordination. Why should a woman feel ashamed to speak up for what she believes? Alison

To the editor,

This letter is in response to Alison Fe&k’s statement, “I am not a feminist” (letters to the editor, October 4). Her letter certainly contains many valid points and distressing experiences; however, she has just fallen victim to another crime of “mankind”: she has been led to believe that the term “feminist” is derogatory and something to be ashamed. The word “feminist” is not negative. Feminists are neither “men-haters” nor “male-bashers”; furthermore, they are not all radical bra-burners or beauty pageant invaders who aggressively demand equality. Although radicalism may be a part of feminism, it certainly isn’t the driving force. Feminists, whether radical or liberal, have a common goal which keeps them together: they want to abolish the negativity thatsurrounds the word “feminine.” Only when the word “feminine” is not associated with weaker and undesirable qualities will equality between the sexes etist How can someone give so much power and resentment to the word ‘feminist,” yet ignore the power of the word “mankind”? Do not belittle the power of language: it is a .,powerful tool that reflects attitudes and beliefs of a culture. “Man” is not simply a word consisting of three letters; he is the centre (the patriarch of our society. It is not simpIy a matter of rewriting the English language; it is a matter of reshaping the phallocentic order!

To the editor,

Are you tired of carrying your junk mail to the curb every week? Currently, Canada Post delivers unsolicited mail whether or not you have a sign requesting them not to - in spite of the efforts by a number of private citizens, the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group, and-the Ministry of the Environment to get Canada Post to honour such stickers. You are under no obligation to accept u.~~~oIicited mail. If you receive mail you do not want, why not return it to the “red box.” If enough people w&e to get involved, the cost of delivering unsolicited mail would soon prove feasible.

An established patriarchal society takes some serious work to alter! Toleration, silence, and hoping it will go away, won’t aIter it! Wishing for change, but doing nothing about it won’t work! Feminists are the people who work for what women like Alison and myself desire! Al&on’s response to the phrase “young boys struck with the dream. .” is understandable: she almost jumped up and yelled “What about young girls?” Well, jump! I am proud to be a woman as well, but I will not accept playing the part of repressed female within the patriarchal society called “mankind.” The woman who wants equality, yet neglects the term “feminist” and accepts the term “mankind” must redefine these powerful words! Yes, I am a woman and a feminist; most importantly, however, I am part of humankind. Kathy McPherson

- if you &ant a sticker requesting that you not receive unsolicited mail, one can be obtained from the Recycling Council of Ontario (l-800263-2849). Let the post office know how you feel! - return only those articles delivered by CanadaPost. , - respect legitimate mail; if you want to return last week’s supply of flyers, do not pack a red box until overflowing. - why not ask the store you regularly shop at to make its flyers available in the store.

“Fair and reasonable” fees have no end by Chris Lawson In 1976, Harry Parrot, then 0ntario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities, told the provincial legislature that it was fair and reasonable for students to pay for 16.1 per cent of the total cost of running Ontario universities. He was arguing for an increase from 14.4 per cent which had also been considered a “fair and reasonable” level of fees. Five years later, MCU Minister Bette Stephenson told representatives from the Ontario Federation of Students that her government was being fair and reasonable even “generous” - in calling for students to pick up 17 per cent of the cost of running universities. Now students pay for over 18 per cent of the cost of running Ontario’s 16 universities, a level former MCU Sean Conway also considered fair and reasonable. There are initiatives from university’ administrations and corporations to raise student fees revenue to 25 per cent of the total budget and beyond, apparently because this is a “fair and reasonable” price for students to pay for education. And in 1906-07, student fees accounted for around 40 per cent of the total cosl of running the province’s universities, University of Toronto economist David Stager tells US.This, no doubt, was also considered “fair and reasonable” back then. As an aside one should recall that other “fair and reasonable” measures of early 1900s universities included barring women from most faculties and imposing quotas on the number of Jewish students permitted to attend. In 196i “fair tuition fees” meant $410 per was $500. By 1981, $930 was “fair.” Now “fair” is over $1,600. Some my $2,500 is fair. 0th ers say $3,500 is fair. It is as if the mm&m are being plucked from thin air.

Most proponents of higher tuition fees argue that they should not be raised so much

as to make gbing to university “u&fordable.” Failing this, they argue, somehow lowincome Ontarians should be able to get some kind of boost so that they can afford it. But the definition of affordable is equally arbitrary affordable for whom and what does it take to afford it? The question of a “reasonable tuition fee”is tied up with the questions of social justice and the role of higher education in the wider community. If education is an investment that students make for their future, then surely, like stocks, bonds and RRSP’s, they should bear the full costs of acquiring an education, as they will - like stock holders - also reap its rewards. Universities, then, are businesses that provide these services to students, according to this school of thought. This typifies the private system of education, one which is based on a user-pay system, where those who can pay can go - them that’s got shall get, them that’ve not shall lose. Those who go deserve to go ostensibly because they have somehow worked hard for their millions. But people are endowed with money and brains in rather random patterns, and there’s very little, if any correlation between the two. And a system which solidates a small elite’s monopoly on power by giving only the wealthy access to higher education is an unjust one. Universities used to formalize this relationship by giving the children of alumni admission, kgardless of their academic ability. On the other hand, there is the view that education is a social good, the benefits of which accrue to society as well as to the individuals in the system Universities, then should be respon$ble to and funded by the public. This typifies the view of the OFS and Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations, as well as numerous other education groups. This view holds that all qualified students should have access to a higher+education, there must be no barriers to ,the system, and the public has the responsibility to level barriers created by disparities of wealth.

Students do not get off Scot-free in this system, because it requires that all who benefit pay the cost. Graduates who earn more as a result of their degree pay progressively more in income tax. Corporations who hire the system’s graduates and profit from the system’s research and tutelage also pay progressively more through the tax system. But up front, there are no financial barriers, and there is assistance for those who have need. . The situation we have now is rather grim. By all accounts, if, as you peer over the rail of your cradle, you are looking to get a university education, you better hope you are rich and stupid. Because even if you are brilliant, if you’re poor, chances are you won’t get very far. If you’re not channelled into a high school program that won’t qualify you for university, if you don’t drop out, if you don’t find some kind of trouble, if you do manage to attain the ever-increasing level of achievement required to get in, you will face yet another the cost of going to college or barrier university and the prospect of five-figure debt loads and a uncertain employment future. The results are not surprising, Students from families with over $65,000 annual income are over-represented in universities, compared to the wider society, by a ratio of about two-to-one. Students from the lowest socio-economic strata are under-represented in universities by a ratio of about two-toone. To make matters worse, we do not have a progressive income tax system. Reforms introduced a few years ag& by the federal -government have largely dismantled the limited measure of progressiveness that was in the system. As it stands, a factory worker earning $30,000 ($10,000 below the Ontario mean income) is taxed at only five per cent less than a corporate executive earning len times as much. Similarly, corporate tax rates have fallen from 36 to 28 per cent, with about 89,000 profitable corporations paying no tax whatsoever.

But the solution to this dilemma is not to deregulate tuition fees and entrench an elitist system because, as Canada acknowledged when it signed the UN “International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights,“higher education is a right and should be made equally accessible to all. Since its inception in 1972, the OFS has been committed to establishing a just education system. OFS wholeheartedly supports the OCUFA’s recent statement in favour of a truly public post-secondary education system. There are many things that combine to deny people from low-income families their right to a post-secondary education. User fees for post-secondary education are but one of them. If they were abolished tomorrow the battle for a truly just and accessible education system would not be over. Without reform of the student financial aid system, without a tax system which makes businesses and people, rich and poor, pay their fair share, and without proper funding of the primary and secondary school system, eliminating tuition fees will not radically change the income profile of the “average college or university student.” But given all the other barriers would-be working class scholars face before they even consider higher education, adding the spectre of tuition fees and the prospect of five-digit student loan debt seems depraved. Employment and Immigration Canada estimates that almost two-thirds of the jobs created between now and the year 2000 will require some post-secondary education. Far from being a ticket to easy street, a postsecondary education is becoming essential for the well-being of all. It is high time legislators realized this and moved to redress the injustice the current system of public subsidies for the middle and upper-class privileged perpetuates.

The Fisher King as social model by Phillip

Chee

In Terry Gilliam’s 724 Fisher J&g, one of the broad themes expressed is the alienation of individuals into mere egos, isolated like atomic particles in a cold, emotionless world. Here we see how the erosion of human social ties leads to a number of personalities in various stages of disappearance. It’s all too easy (and a gross simplification) to blame this intolerable state to the yuppification of and human existence - from relationships healthy sexuality to networks and 900 phone lines, productive play to penal work, organic communities to an inorganic Global Village, imaginative and spontaneous culture to derivative and formulaic mass media. Whether the slow erosion of the community is attributable to the social relationships that reflect command and subservience, indeed, as fully articulated in the corporate jungle, or to the weakening of the principle of usufruct, the practice of sharing found in preliterate societies, or to the tyrannical and patriarchal nuclear family {the nadir of Victorian ideology), we must accept the fact of its demise. The irony of this loss has a foil to it. We are tenuously emerging from the grip of among other things, parochialism, racism, and sometimes outright xenophobia that inheres in a tight-knit community tainted in some instances by a debased religiosity.

Diversity and acceptance of eccentricity can have positive effects on a community, invigorating it at its core, on the people themselves. More than ever, we need the healthy aspects of community: the sharing, caring love, unselfish mutual aid, and the respect of individual differences and proclivities. How do we re-learn these human traits? In a meanspirited world, the task is daunting. As I listen to CBC Radio or read the newspapers, the bloody civil war in Yugoslavia erodes my faith in humanity. The burgeoning neo-Nazi terror in unified Germany to the cancerous Ku Klux Klan propaganda in Quebec, environmental “lifeboat ethics” to zero population growth projects and causes, the forced transmigration of indigenous tropical forest peoples to the threat of a flooded James Bay, attest to the inhumanity of human toward human. - While we fight amongst ourselves, or strive for the emancipation of all, the natural environment, the air, water, and land that sustains us, withers at an ever-increasing rate. For the tragedy of lost community closes off the door to a symbiosis with the earth. Evolutionary and ecological insights have illumined that life tends toward this creative telos. We need desperately to reenter natural evolution - checking our Social Darwinian, Marxist, and economistic baggage outside to understand the meaning of community. 1 Anyone for some cloud-bursting?

So I finally saw one of those ‘Why Ask Whv?” beer commercials. Honestv in advertisix& to be sure, but part of a’disturbing trend. Here we have the marketers of beer attemptingto flip a cliche. “Why can’t life be a beer iommerci&?” the spot asks. “Why ask why?” The logic of these questions defies conventional w&dom. Life ce.tiainly is not a beer commercial for most people on the planet, and there are many reasons why;,3 it were, we’d all die of boredom. The ad suggests the ultimate goal of life is to pursue a beer commercial-type lifestyle. Forget that that life is far beyond the means of most people on the planet. The beer company forgot to add the trailer, “for the lucky few.” Or perhaps, “for our actors.” Which is not to say that the lucky few don’t deserve the life they’re gifted enough to enjoy. Not at all. That would be imposing the destiny of the many on the morals of the few. And, as we all know, anyone is free to exploit everyone, if s/he has the means, and able to take a refreshing look at the mystery novel whenever s/he wants. But let’s get serious now and take a look at an average day in the life of one of these funloving people. Wake up. Bathe heavenly body. Turn off news reports of latest civil war. Take brisk walk around the block to work off what’s left of the couple-six brews consumed the night before, Off to office in shiny, new BMW / Porsche / Lamborghini, Or if it’s a weekend, feed the local grizzly bear or pick up breakfast on jetski. Spend rest of day bungie-cord jumping, lying in arms of loved one, or inventing new pet-names for best friends. Evening. Time for Big Party Scene. Play musical chairs with guy with 45” chest or buxom beach babe. Maybe take refreshing look at the romance

Ruth was born in the small town of St. George, Ontario. She was raised in a large, supportive family consisting of both parents, her three brothers and two sisters. From high school, she enjoyed science, with particular interest in biolog).

However, she was aware of taboo that popular girls did not things like physics, chemistry, other sciences or maths. All of science teachers were male and identified with no female or male models. Ruth insists, however, these things did not discourage

After high schbol, with the impression that an interest in biology could only lead to medicine, she enrolled at Queen’s University with the intention of becoming a medical doctor. During the course of her bachelor of science, however, she soon realized that this direction was not attainable.

Upon graduation from *Queen’s with an honours BSc in biology, she fortuitousIy learned from a family friend that the University of Waterloo had a masters program in physiological optics. After an informative interview with Dr. J. Sivak, she realized that she could still pursue an interest in biology in a non-medical field. As well, in lieu of getting a job, she could I still maintain financial independence by being a teacher’s assistant and through funding from .her supervisor.

s01ttebig odds”

As well, many changes hawe taken place to encourage and promote graduate studies for women. The Natural Science and Engineering Research C*ouncil (NSERC) , has recognized maternity leave as a valid extension of a degree program and there is now daycare funding for graduate students.

However,

even with these support

structures, Ruth realizes that problems still exist. She would like to obtain a full-time position as a professor but in order to do so, she must complete a post-doctorate at a university other than the University of Waterloo that is still in her field of interest. This would mean either moving her entire family or having to commute to the nearest university. Neither she nor her husband, who works full-time, are interested in uprooting their family. These problems would seem to exist for any professional career woman and is not specific to graduate studies.

Ruth studied the effects of experimental myopia in chicks for her MSc and enjoyed the project so much that she took it further to a doctoral level. It was during her MSc that Ruth is pleased with the outcome she met her future husband, Jurgen of both her family and professional Seltrrer. She became pregnant with life.

Human rights board from the Federation of Students OXI November 29, 1990, the Cenel’al Meeting of The Federation of Students of the University of Waterloo approved the establishment ol a Human Rights Board (HuRB). HuRB has the official mandate from the Federation of Students to “ensure that the University of, WaterIoo provides an environment . wherein its members can pursue academic excellence as well & personal and social growth, free frok all forms of discri&nation and harassment.” HuRB is part of a growing trend at Canadian universities. Students are becoming more aware of the

acthdties that exist on campus, as well as Human Rights - concerns throughout this country. What direction should this country take on cdnstitutional reform? ShouId Canada continue to be an of& cial multicultural mosaic? Or shouti Canada become a melting pot of all ~,ti~~lhies like our neighbours south of the border? Canada: One Nation Under God?

by Eleanox Grant spedal to Imprint Six Muslims, two Sikhs, and one Hindu student gathered for the weekly Muslim study group and interfaith discussion on Wed. Oct. 9 at 1230 in CC 135. Questioned by a Sikh student, Prof. Mohammed Elmasry expounded on the meaning of jihad. “There is no such term as holy war in Arabic,” he explained. “Jihad means striving working hard to improve. “He explained that jihad has three levels: the individual’s striving to be a good person, the group work of taking care of the environment and introducing Islam to other persons, and the third level of fighting against oppression and injustice, such as what is happening in Pal&tine today. “We are not to kill the innocent, we are not to cut trees, we are not to replace one oppression with another.“These are the guidelines for true jihad. A Sikh pointed out that interreligious strife in India was largely instigated by the British as part of their strategy of ‘divide and rule’. The Sikh holy book contains passages from both the Koran and the Bhagavad-Gita, and Sikhs accept Krishna and Rama as welI as Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed as Prophets, he said. Meetings take place every Wednesday, and all are welcome.

About 40 members and guests attended the abundant pot-luck supper, at which retiring president Adele Brown was honoured with a plaque and a card by acting president Verena Besso. The video was introduced and discussion led by Theodore Tsaousidis. “The beef business carries a high environmental price tag,” said F&x/ For Thought, which was made by KCET, the PBS television station in Los Angeles. “The Chinese - one billion people - eat in a year the amount of beef that Americans eat in two weeks.” Beef cattle are “the four-legged equivalent of gas guzzlers,” it continued, citing the high cost of producing feed grain, the depletion of the underground water supply in the Midwest, and the burning of the, tropical rain forest for short-lived grazing land. In order to stop global warming, concluded the video, humanity must limit its population and limit its consumption of energy - including its meat consumption. “We may say, ‘Oh, science will find a solution,’ but that’s not what the scimtists

Friend by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff

‘Friendly fascists, We wsent it, Jirst of all, becuuse it k untnre. ” - Preston Manning While Preston Manning may resent the labelling of his Reform Party as racist, antiQuebec, and anti-immigration, he has done very little to dispute such accusations. The policies of the party and actiohs of its members on issues such as multi-culturalism and bilingualism leaves the party open to attacks from all sides. Upon closer examination, everything indicates that the former accusations are indeed true. The party is based upon a myth. The myth is that any red-neck members are simply stragglers who do not represent the party’s “true” membership. Preston Manning’s defense against the obviously racist and sexist statements that have been made by Reform party members is that any new party is destined to attract some radicals. However some of the party’s most embarrassing and vociferous support~fs are in fact top-level bureaucrats rather than some fringe elements as implied. One simple example of the attitude behind the party’s ideology can be taken from William D. Gairdner’s book 3%e Trouble with Canada. Gairdner is part of the executive committee of the Reform Party’s Ontario wing. A review by Paul Kellogg of the book brings out some of Gairdner’s more contentious points.

Some of Gairdner’s most controversial points come in the .form of an examination of the role of women in society. Here, Gairdner brings forth two points as to why women should stay in the bedroom and auf of the boardroom. First of ail, this is because men’s more aggressive sexual urges need taming. Women tame these urges through the monogamous family structure which would become disturbed through the creation of day-care plans. If this happens, then male sexual aggression will become unchecked and society will disintegrate,

But a plethora of potential problems arises also when one looks at the party’s platform. In the party’s Blue &I&, the official l?rinciples and Policies guidebook, it’s stand on multiculturalism is presented:

C. i%e R&vm~ Party of Canada opposes the current concept of multiculturaiism and hyphenated Canadianism pursued 15y the Government uf Canada. We would endfinding of the multicultura-lism program and suppoti the abolition of the kpartment of Multiculturalism

French enlightenment.4 .is a colkctivist authoritarian vision First of all is the obvious anti-French slant in the book. Gairdner describes the French, enlightenment as “chiefly concerned with power . . . rooted in the belief that people basically need to be looked after and con.trolled. At bottom it is a collect%& authoritarian vision that gives rise to a New Class, based on tax money and political power.” Gairdner attacks the historical French enlightenment and reduces it to a totalitarian political movement. He tries to justify his attacks on Quebec by trying to trace it back to an unjust society. The only thing unjust here is Gairdner’s obvious ineptness in historical research. Secondly there is the problem that Gairdner has with immigration of any type. According to Gairdner, the only way that racial tensions have been overcome in Canada’s history is through the “assimilation to the high moral standards of freedom and responsibility under our English goveting institut&~~.‘! Thus, an effartshould be-made to “find a ~tqal..n?+ral,~q that T;y-orks; then to encourage everyone to a&mil& to it. . . .” Gairdner also states that “an invadtig alture” should be kept to less B&n ,15per cent of 8 the “core culture”. The conclusion one would seem to be Able to draw from these statements is the same one that Kellogg makes, and that is that the fewer black, brown, and yellow faces that @q& ,we, the fewer racial problems. While this tiay be true in terms of “staying with your own kind,” few would in fact support *is viewpoipt -wi@, ~ . the Aryan tenacity of GairdqFF. 1.. ..

most obvious example that can be cited is the relationship between the Reform Party and Quebec. “Let them go, we don’t need Quebec.” These sentiments by a Reform member at a Calgary rally seem to crystallize the basic position of the entire Party. It seems that these views are in part a response to several events of the past decade, Bill 101 and Meech lake not the least of which. The Reform Party seems to have taken a position common among those who have decided to use Queb& as a scapegoat for political and economic troubles. Bill 101 is seen only as an abuse of power and the motives behind it are not examined. Bilingualism is seen as a waste of money, and throigh its opponents’ reasoning, that money would somehow go toward the national debt. Ignorance and an unwillingness to cooperate seem to be the order of the day. Supporters of a concerted effort to achieve-a resolution to the current constitutional crisis will have to look beyond the narrow agenda of the Reformers. Although few would argue with Quebec’s natural right to secede, most understand that at best, itwould be a bad idea. The Reform party’s opinion that the rest of Canada could somehow survive without Quebec is unfounded and dangerously simplistic. * Likewise for the Reform Party’s stand on multiculturalism. Racist is not a word to be used lightly, but it seems to accurately reflect many aspects of the Party. “You’re a fine white person. You know we are letting in toomany people from the Third

“The low blacks,the low Hikpnics. .they‘regoing to take overthis provhce” l

By the pricking - of my thumb, something widced this way comes Secondly, Gairdner states that there is actually a biological reason as to why there are more men than women in positions of power. According to Gairdner, this is because “from birth, males tend to strive harder than females to reach the top.” Thus; Gairdner is saying that women should stay at home because, first, they are needed to tame men’s ,sexual urges and, 5.se&d, they naturally belong there.

The position of the Party as a whole, while not as outwardly prejudicial, Ieaves something to be desired. Originally, the party called for an end to all Third World immigration. Now, the party is opposed to any policy of immigration that is “designed to radically or suddenly alter the ethnic makeup of Canada.” If this plan is designed to keep the current multi-racial and multi-cultural aspect of Canada intact, then there isn’t a problem. But if the Reform Party’s present policy of preference to white, Englishspeaking people is supported then this means problems for the rights of minorities.

UW nati.onallv ranked for first time! Mustangs arefirst big t&t for Canada’s best defence Warrior

Football

by Peter &own Iqwillt sports With a 25-l win over the Windsor Lancers last weekend, the 4-l Waterloo Warrior football team has convinced itself that it is one of the three best teams in the OUAA. The CIAU seems to be convinced as well, giving Waterloo its first topten football ranking in history. UW is tied for ninth in the nation with the Saskatchewan Huskies. One wrinkle in the celebration is that Waterloo must face the secondranked and 5-O Western Mustangs tomorrow in Prep-Town and the fifthranked Laurier Golden Hawks, also 4-1, next weekend at Seagram’s to finish out the season.

Despite the win, head coach Dave ‘Tuffy” Knight was not pleased with some of the play of his charges, in particular the five fumbles lost by UW. “If we play Western like we did Windsor, then I’d say we’re in big trouble. That game was our worst of the five we’ve played so far,” he said. But he added that with poise and execution, Waterloo is capable of beating the ‘Stangs. The Warriors has moved into first place in the nation in points allowed with a scant 30 in five games, 9 of those in the last four. This stingy defence will certainly be challenged by a potent Western attack that was able to erase-a 37-13 third-quarter deficit last week against Laurier by scoring 43 points in 16 minutes.

Thanksgiving weekend, McMaster (3-2) thrashed Guelph (l-4) 46-17 after trailing 14-O early in the second quarter and Toronto pounded the sorrowful York Yeomen 65-7. It was a Twilight Zone day at Seagram Stadium last Saturday with Waterloo losing five fumbles and the two teams combining for, 11 turnovers. The other big anomaly? The Warriors had a passing game! Quarterback Steve Bennet, apparently given the green light to air it out (by UW standards), completed 13-17 for 180 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Both TD passes were to receiver Gord Fawcett, who finished the game with six receptions for 119 yards. Bennet also *scampered four times for 70 yards.

The Warriors hockey team continued their exhibition season last weekend by co-hosting the annual Oktoberfest Invitational Hockey Tournament with the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks. Waterloo was coming off of an exhibition win the previous weekend at the Western Invitational. UW hoped to better their th&d place finish of last year and did so *with victories over McGill 5-4, Western 7-6 iri double ovetime, and Laurier 5-4 in the . championship game. Each of the games was a nail-biter but didn’t have to be, according to the Warriors’ coaching staff. Assistant coach Geoff Ward cited untimely penalties and an eagerness to run up the score (thus letting up on the defensive side of the puck) as reasons for the close scores. A shining example of this was the

game against Western in which Waterloo possessed a 6-2 lead with ten minutes left in the third period, only to see that lead disintegrate into a 6-6 tie. The Warriors managed to tighten up their jock-straps and come up with the winning goal in the second period of over&me. The Warriors showed great endurance by coming back the next day to face their long-time rivals the Golden Hawks and beating them.

Warriors bounce ,irWaction Warrior Basketball by Paul Done imprintstaff The 1991-92 Waterloo Warriors Basketball team, which hits the lardwood tonight (Friday, 8 pm) at the PAC for their first exhibition game against the York Yeomen, bears little resemblance to last year’s team. The team has only four returnees horn last year’s squad, which bowed Dut to the Brock,Badgers in a hardfought OUAA West quarter-final match. Of the remaining nine players who make up the 13 player-roster, there are. two transfers, one senior six incoming returnee, and freshman. In an interview, this turnover is described as a “metamorphosis” by head coach Don McCrae and assistant coach Tom Kieswetter. “This team has improved size, experience, talent, and depth,” said McCrae. While the ‘91-‘92 Basketball Warriors will still play the same hardhosed, grinding defence which has become a trademark of McCraecoached teams, this year’s squad should ‘IX quicker, faster, and score more.” Heading the list of returnees from last year’s squad is 6’7”swing forward Sean Vankoughnett, who had a stellar rookie year. Among hi accomplishments were leading the OUAA West in scoring last season, being named a first-team OUAA West allstar, earning a CIAU Athlete of the Week award after his 49-point outburst led Waterloo to an 101-98 upset victory over first-ranked Western, and being named CIAU Rookie of the Year.

While an exhibition trip to Florida had to be cancelled, two games have been added to the schedule. The team will travel to Erie, Pennsylvania to play Mercey-Hurst College olr November 16 and will host Memorial U. on January 2. This game will be a homecoming of sorts for former Warrior Andy Zienczuk, who is now attending the St. John’s, NFLD school. In early discussions, observers are pointing to Waterloo to be among the cream of this year’s OUAA West, which will look very different with massive player turnover at National Finalists Western and Guelph.

VanKoughnettto lead-chavge Last year, transfer students Alex Urosevic and Dave Lynch could do nothing but watch from the bench while they sat out their year of ineligibility. This year, the two - who are both products of since-closed St. Jerome’s High Schoc$ Kitchener should help Waterloo put points on the board. After leading St. Jerome’s to as OFSAA championship, Urosevic went south and spent a season playing for Stetson University in Florida, a Division 1 NCAA school. The tough 6’3” guard will be expected to take some of the pressure off Van3-point koughnett with his sharpshooting. Lynch, a 6’6” forward, will be expected to provide some offence from the wing.

The two walk-ons will provide size and depth for the front line. Scott Neilson is a 6’8” centre from Welland, while Mike Leitch is a 6’5” forward from Simcoe. McCrae looks to Vankoughnett and Urosevic to provide spark and leadership for this year’s Warrior hoopsters. A summer of international play has readied each of them for the upcoming season. Vankoughnett was a starter for this year’s National Junior team who competed at ,the World Junior Championships in Edmonton. Urosevic was a member of the National “B” Team which brought home a silver medal from the World Student Games held in Sheffield, England.

Don McCrae enters his 2Znd year as head coach of the Warrior basketbatt squad with high hopes for a successful season. Imprint file photo A tough exhibition schedule featuring games against most of the top 15 teams in the country should allow h&Crae and the coaching staff to f?rtd out “what we are and what we aren’t very quickly.” “With the metamorphosis that we have this year, we (the coaching staff) are very excited to see how this team comes together.”

This year’s Wilson Cup OUAA Basketball Championship has a different format than before. The OUAA East and Central champions will compete with the two OUAA West finalists in a four-team tournament to be held in the PAC March 14-15. This will determine the OUAA champion and the three OUAA reps who will make this trip to Halifax for the CIAU championships. McCrae expects intense competition: “Even the socalled consolation game will have something on the line - a berth at the CIAUs.” Looking into the future, McCrae has this to say, “As far as long-term goals go, I think it would be great if we could make it to the Wilson Cup tournament and play before our home fans.” The first step is tonight, 8 pm at the PAC, come out and cheer your 199L 92 Waterloo Basketball Warriors.

Can Plaguewin third straight national- bronze? THE VETERANS: Dave Balwlii - 6’2” middie

warrior Volleyball

Balodis will join the team in January for his fifth and final year of eligibility. He,is one of only two starters left on the squad and is their most experienced player. The Toronto native has great blocking ability and strengthens a deceptive offence with his short spikes over the middle.

Imprint sports Undoubtedly, the most successful team at the University of Waterloo over the past ten years has been the Warrior volleyball juggernaut. Waterloo has amassed seven OUAA West division pennants from 1983 to 1990, three provincial championships (1983-84, 1985-86, and 1989-90), five national championship appearances and in the past two seasons back-to-back national bronze titles. The Warriors were untouchable in Ontario. They had such a dominant presence that in 1988 veteran player Fred Koops dubbed the team ‘The Black Plague”: capable of knocking down any opponent in its path. Koops printed up Black Plague Tshirts for fans to w&rat games. The concept caught on like wild fire. The Black Plague volleyball team soon gathered legions of loud, boisterous fans and, still to this day, nearly fill the PAC and opposing team’s venues in a sea of black Over the years, Waterloo has been blessed with the arrival of many talented volleyball athletes including Lech Bekesza, Scott Shantz, Jim Mctinnon, Dave Shum, Steve Heck, Fred Koops, Brian &unman, Dave Mouffe, Bob Eichvald, Tony Martins, and the tenacious power-hitting Smith twins Steve and Scott. Since last season, Waterloo has lost four of its six starters to graduation:

One gets a sense of excitement when looking at the prospect’s for this year’s Waterloo women’s volleyball season and the feeling that the team should easily be able to better last year’s 4-10 record. Last season, the team was as the wrong end of some close matches and suffered from inconsistent play caused by the team’s lack of experience. This situation will change this year as the team has four rookies joining eight returning players, including hst season’s co-captains Michelle Vanvliet and Katerina Eneeprecht, who shifkl pla$nn returning De&u. In fact, this year will mark the first time in a while that some players on the team will have more than one season of experience in the OWIAA. The g-1 for this season is a simple one - to make the playoff& Postseason play eluded the Athenas last year although their play in the second half of the season was quite impressive. In fact, the uwo Gazen4 called the Athenas a “much improved” team after they beat Western in the teams’s second meeting last year. last season the standouts of the team were the fine setting and serving by Englebrecht and the strong hitting of Vanvliet This being the third season on the team for both, this combination should again be the strength of the team. This as well as further solid play from other returnees will ensure that the Athenas can achieve their pre-season goal. So far this season, the Athenas have participated in a few warm-up

Sailing on Columbia

Lake

by Brett Woodman For all of you who are wondering what it would be like to take up windsurfing, I, as one of the windsurfing club instructors, am going to tell you what a typical, first experience on a windsurfer is like. Take note: there are no real exceptions; the people who can do forward rolls off eight-foot waves went through the same frustrations. Beginne= should always take a lesson for the simple reason that rigging a sail, despite being a fairly simple task, can cause severe anxiety for persons who do not know how. After your sail is rigged and your board is ready, your tntsv instructor will explain the basics: step-by-step instructions on hoti to execute barrel rolls, loops, chop hopping, jibing, tackhg planning, and an array of other flashy moves. Then, the moment arrives 1 it is time to enter the water. You wade out into the lake and crawl onto the board. Taking the uphaul in your hands, yoti pull the sail awkwardly from the water, and upon trying- to grab the boom, fall backwards with a resounding splash, or forwards, impaling yourself in the mast. After repeating this procedure 20 or 30 ties, you have scraped all the skin off your knees and given yourself a most strenuous workout. Your body at this point starts saying nasty things to you, but you will be damned before any stupid windsurfer is going to conquer you, and so you keep on tryingIt is this last shred of determination that sees you through. On the very next try you are able to hold onto the boom and maintain your balance. For a moment your mind enters a state of shock, while you and the windsurfer glide effortlessly across the top of the water. I will not dare to try and explain the incredible adrenaline rush you get from windsurfing, but rather warn you that after this initial high, you, like me and every other windsurfer 1 know, will turn into a windsurfer junkie.

exemises:

By far, one of the easiest and cheapest to start - the only equipment you need is a good pair of running shoes. Just remember, try and run 3s flat footed as possible to avoid shin splints, jogger’s heel, pulled Achilles’ tendon, and strained calf muscles. wallring: An excellent exercise for all ages. Just be sure the walk is brisk enough to maintain your heart rate at 80 per cent of maximum. cycling: A great exercise that is “nonweight-bearing.” That is, you tend to get less pulled muscles, twisted joints, and sore tendons, which normally plague runners. You can cycle indoors or out. Just remember that, for outdoor cycling, you should invest in a good helmet. swimming: This exercise will get you heart and lungs in excellent aerobic condition. It’s also great for limbering up all the muscles in the arms and legs. Roller Blading,, Ice Skating: Skating gives you the benefits of running without the trauma. It’s fun and it’s great excercise. However, be sure to check your heart rate - it would be easy to skate all day withoutgetting your heart to go fast enough. Canada’s

Parks and Protected

Areas

How many national parks, provincial parks, ecological areas, and national wildlife areas are there in Canada? Do we have enough to represent the 177 terresbial eco-regions of our country? There are currently ‘437 areas identified as ecological areas, 45 national wildlife areas and 34 national parks. Ninety of Canada’s 177 terrestrial ecosystems or just over half are not represented by any type of protected area. What is even more shocking is that the total area protected by our parks and protected areas is only about three per cent of our land mass. Many other countries protect a much higher percentage of their land mass as parks and protected areas. The Bruntland Commission and Endangered Species campaign encourage a target of 12 per cent. Canadians seem to be interested in promoting a comprehensive approach to establishing and conserving parks and protected areas, but this goal seems to elude our grasp.

Fat Lady talks

by Bernard Keamey Imprint staff

Hardly 24 hours on this side of the big goldfish bowl, Nick Kelly and Tim Bradshaw, svelt members of the Fat Lady Sings, sampled (with favourable reaction I might add) Waterloo’s own Amber Dry while absorbing the scholastic atmosphere of the Bombshelter. I think Nick must have french-kissed the Blarney Stone in his youth as jet lag seemed to have absolutely no effect on his vocal chords. What follows is an abridged sample of his monologue - I mean our conversation. Imprint:

Nick: In Canada -‘til the 29th. We do a couple of dates in the other parts of North America and then we’re going home for about four days and then we’re going to ‘Ireland.

We’ve joined their tour and unfortunately they’ve already done the out-west bit, but we get to play 15 dates with them, Imprint: when and where did you meet Spirit of the West? Nick: We met them today! We had

not met them before; I think they just heard the record and really liked it. I guess they asked the record company to find out whether or not we’d be interested in touring with them.

Agrarians meet industrialists Grcpa Suck!, or something to that effect. Hey ho, lay me low, I was wrong - I, jaded I, was even SUP prised! 13 Engines did all that was expected: they played a bunch of songs from A B/W lo Mu Now, their wondrous third album and first for megaconglomerate SBK records. Led by the elfin John Critchley on lead vocals and guitar, the Toronto-based (via Detroit) Engines continue to stake their claim to a position as Canada’s best band.

Considering the show that 13 Engines had put on, I smirked to myself in the knowledge that Grapes of Wrath had been blown off the stage. Not so! Despite the selection of wimpily introspective ballads which peppered the set, the Grapes genuinely rocked out, Kevin Kane and Tom Hooper shaking their sensational locks this way and that as they flailed their Rickenbackers into a fair approximation of a fury - well as much fury as these sweet-faced boys could muster.

Their style is redolent, often uncannily so, of Neil Young’s more rockin’ moments. Critchley’s songwriting often possesses the same twisted narrative genius which makes Young’s better work so great. Their big single from A Blur to Me NOW, “King of Saturday Night,” represents the peak of their art so far. With a tender touch, Critchley leads us through the alleys of drunkenness and despair and never seems - patronizing or judgmental.

The show built to a rocking climax, with their latest single “Ill Be There” being shot up with a big dose of rock steroids. For the final encore, they dusted off “Lucky Man” and Pink Floyd’s, “See Emily Play,” both of which r&cd-out.

“You’re Nothing if You’re Not Strong” was the set’s other highlight. After revelling in raw rock energy on their first two albums, recorded for Detroit’s Nocturnal Records, A Blur to Me Now finds a more elliptical, yet no less forceful route to the centre of the sun.

Okay, it’s confession time. Sometimes - just sometimes, mind you -

critics

don’t go into shows

with the

best of intentions. Last Wednesday, for example, I trucked over to the staid War Memorial Hail at U. of Guelph to see 13 Engines, who were opening for Grapes of Wrath. In my twisted mind, I had my review written, the headlines would read Engines Rule!

Though I still consider 13 Engines to be the better group, the Grapes of Wrath genuinely surprised. I always thoyght that they were little more than shaggy-haired wimps with a major Beatles hang-up. Never would 1have credki them with the rock ‘6 roll coj ones they displayed at Memorial Hall.

The mere act-of the Grapes of Wrath striding onto the stage in all their curly-tressed ‘splendour was enough to send the all-ages middleclass throng into squeals of barely repressed hormonal frenzy.

Director Gary Marshall, who is also responsible for TV’s Hippy L@LS and Laveme & Shirky, and the film PWIIJJ Woman, hides the stars’ inherent beauty effectively (although I still think since Scarface Pacino has looked like a used cigar, I’m told he doesn’t). This adds to another enticing quality the film boasts: Frankie and Johnny are like everyone else in the film, despite their central roles.

by Mike Trusdo special to Imprint John Greenleaf Whittier once wrote, “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, / The saddest are these: It might and Juhmv have been!“’ Frankic deals with two people who disliked what was, are unhappy with what is, and are afraid of what mu-v be. This romantic comedy / urban nightmare is full of charming caricatures, minimalistic dialogue and possesses a penchant f or appealing to the lowest common denominator in human emotions: loneliness. The film bases its appeal on a fundamental fact of the human condition: everyone is lonely to some extent and throughout our lives we are constantly striving to relieve this . burden. In the film, F&tie (Michelle Pfeiffer) is a waitress in New York who, as a result of an experience in her past, has isolated herself to her apartment and refuses to actively pursue a relatiokhip with a man. Johnny (Al Pa&o) has recently been released from prison and travels to New York to begin his life anew, winding up in the same restaurant as Frankie. It is in this restaurant where they meet and Johnny makes a concerted attempt to convince Frankie that he is Mr. Right. Part of this film’s success is due to the superb performances by its two mega-stars who have been submerged in these roles as common people. They emerge as two very believable portraits amidst the sprawling urban mural of New York

Although they haven’t quite made tie leap away from the clutches of day jobs, Anyhowtown have been gigging sporadically around Toronto for a while now. They recently released an indie cassette to provide a fresh sampler of their Work. In many ways, Anyhowtown’s sound is a typical one: the usual postpunk rhythms and gloomy keys, the usual guitar bass drums VOX components to their sound. However, this tape is distinguished by a few things...

First, there’s Daphne Diamant’s VOCA. Although they are becoming less and less so, female vocalists are Still something of a novelty in the indie biz, and any step away from the ordinary in a young band is welcome, Not only that, but Diamant is actualIy

The pleasantest surprise of all is that the tape shows unexpectedly strong pop sensibilities. This perhaps may be attributed to the fact that members of Anyhowtown served in early ’80s oh so “new wave”-ers the Tenants. Whatever the case, songs like “Myraga” and “Already Said G’Bye” reflect a clear understanding of pop aesthetics, and not just the requisite ability to come up with moody basslines. . Who wiIl rise to the top of the teeming pond of young hopefuls is never prediciable. At least, Bough, Anyhowtown have demonstrated that they have more to promise thanmost.

For a man with over 40 years of blues under his belt, it is about time that John be Hooker is getting the commercial succizss that he so rightly deserves. What with a Grammy, an induction into the Rock h Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, and his last album, The Ifeuler, climbing to gold status in Canada, it is no surprise thathis new release entitled Mr.Lucky is predicted to be his biggest album ever. This bluester is on a roll and he’s letting everyone know it. MELucky is not your typical famous blues artist backed by an unknown band album. Instead, Hooker has imported a collection of well known musicians, mixing their stylistic spices with his main dish, serving up a varied, yet still bluesy menu. Among those making a guest are John Hammond, appearance Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, Van Morrison, and Johnny Winter. You

One track in particular to watch out for is “Highway 13,” a deep-south, finger-pi&in’, slide-rollin’, harp wailin’, hound-howlin’, old-mancryin’, rainy-day, woman-searchin tune reminiscent of his earlier style. Also of note is “Susie” featuring Johnny Winter and “Father Was A Jockey”withJohn Hammond playing

guitar and harp in a folksy-blues vein. ,As for John Lee, fans will not be disappointed. The finger picking and throaty mumbling that you have come to know and love is ever present and serves as the solid backbone rhythm for the guest axemen.

I As much as I love The Happy Mondays, this double afbum is essentially a great big blah of a record. originally released as a bootleg entitled &by Ri&zd, it’s another example of record companies bootlegging the leggers - and reaping major financial rewards in the process. I actually find it hard to believe that both these albums come from the same show.

Moreover, Sean Ryder actuaI1y talks to the audience - he sounds like Sinatra at the Sands in comparison to his Toronto stonefacedness is that (or stoned/faced/mess?). One-thing in the album’s favour is the track listing, which features much of the best material from fi111r,nrilllr, and Bell’a~hes, along with a passe1 of tracks from the Mudchester mini&I? The two cool additions to the tracks listing are “Tokoloshe Man,” which was their contribution to Elektra’s Rubiyat anniversary compiIation,and the legendary “E” - which turns Out to be “Do It Better” from Bummed.

Holy happy hip hop! Posititity vibes permeate this cassette single from PM Dawn and it grooves.

Citing the Native Tongues Posse, Prince, the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Jesus Christ and Edgar Cayce as major influences, PM Dawn make positivity a pill that slides down easily. “Twisted Mellow” (catch the reference to The Happy Monda ‘s “Step on” lyric h46s&g my me 7on man) is the B side and it is also a bit of fun and fanc!y funkiness.

Period. Cactus , their first album, drew comparisons to De La Soul’s Darj, Age - mostly because of the diversity of the samples used, and their offbeat approach to subject matter. Unfortunately, like De La Soul, it seemed just a little too cute; consequently, despite great material like “Wordz of Wizdom” and ‘product of the Environment,” its appeal wore off. No such trouble with &n?icts of Dialect, which has only grown in favour since I got it this summer. From beginning to end - novelty fillers and hardcore jams alike - this is one of the best of the year.

Did you like the Jam in high school? Did “Start!” or “A Town Called Malice” encapsulate life at 161 Do you now like the Roland 808 Bass drum machine kick in Chapterhouse or Snap? Then you11 likely get into Carter USM, a band blessed with a cutting political edge and one of the best names since the Chocolate Bunnies From Hell. Carter, two lads out London named Jimbob and Fruitbat, plays electric guitar jams like Neds Atomic Dustbin with a background of driving synth strings, horns, organs and apocalyptic drums. This single was released during the Gulf War and was quickly banned by the BBC for such reactionary lyrics aK”Stand up and beg to Sergeant Kirby, lay down, play dead for Di and Fergie” and “the coldest-stream guards of them all said God Save the Queen, bloodsport for all,” Then again, U2’s “War” album was probably banned too. . . This was a windfall for Carter, driving the sales up and putting the album - 201 Damnations, although this single doesn’t appear on it - on the top of the British indie charts, and making the somewhat scruffy and

All three tracks: “Bloodsport For All,” “2001: A Clockwork Orange,“and ‘Sedsitter” all rock bells to va*ng degrees. The title track is most abrasive, with a catchy guitar/organ riff, and ‘*Bedsitter” sounds off on a more industrial note, as if Throbbing Gristle got into Billy Bragg. “2001 . . .” is one of the weirder and chilling tracks Carter has out, with the sampled angelic voices of British ~hool-children telling of their ambitions. Yikes. Here’s some of them: ‘7 want to be a forensic scientist because I like working with guts,” “My ambition is to break a world record in shooting” and ” I want to

Perhaps it’s the Canadian in me but I really like to sumrt home-grown talent. Perhaps because success in the mtisic business is di&ult to attain and being Canadian is more of a handicap in terms of reaching success in the Mecca of the business, America, but I do honestly enjoy the latest effort of Ian Thomas’s new band. Called the Boomers, their latest release is entitled what we do. I don’t recall if Thomas ever had a band before (The Ian Thomas Band? - ed), I always remember his solo efforts, but this release is a definite step forward in his career. The sound is a recipe for success - take a dash of jazz, add a tablespoon of rock, mix in a cup of good lyrical content and a pinch of blues and you’ve got a pretty good cook. To me, the appealof this tape lies in the strong lyrical content. Thomas’s voice is that of a person genuinely concerned with worldly issues and his words mirror this concern. General themes of love, dreams and work fill the tape with views that mosl people can relate to. His lyrics don? come across as complicated or 0x3. fusing or even vague, but that’s part of his appeal. Straightforward and honest about his emotions, he’s like your friendly next door neighbour. Insightful and interesting, Thomas is the brother of Dave (of Mackenzie Brothers fame) and has achieved success by his own merit He’s not the most innovative Canadian artist but at least he’s consistent and persistent in his music making. Liking the Boomers just because they’re Canadian is not the main reason why I like %I-&3 tape,

a cheerleader release. Any through the dian, deserves chance.

The needle+andthe damage done by Dave Fisher Imprint staff

Darryl Wasyk’s critically acclaimed feature debut is a low-budget banjo thump for the Canadian film industry which should appeal to, and alternately torture, the William S. Burroughs contingent. The movie poster reveals “H is for Heaven.. . H is for Hell,” but any self-respecting participant of the targeted audience, (beatniks, liberals, Warhol freaks, social-workers, junkies, and wannabees), will inform you that what H really stands for is shit. The two principal characters are Snake, an undernourished, impotent, platinum-blonde skeleton, as played

by Martin Neufeld, and his strungout girlfriend Michelle (Pascale Monoften inaudible tpetit), an French-Canadian whose perspiration volume exceeds that of Duane Ward. Snake and Michelle are both addicts. Perhaps self-inspired by his really cool and thoroughly cheesy full-body tattoo, Snake is a wasting intellechral - he reads Kafka - who desperately seeks solace and freedom from his heroin slavery. Without consulting Michelle, Snake fakes it upon himself to board up their squalid underground apartment from the inside for a destiny of cold-turkey impasse. Imprisoned in this stark coffin-like bunker without the benefit of day or night, they barely exist as though in Goldman’s L.w Daysof Elvis. l3e Lost Weekend, Man with the

Go&w Am, Panic in Needle Park, Chtistiane E, and even Dnrgstore Gwboy have all previously explored the same themes mbre dramatically than does Wasyk, but seldom as brutally honest. H is so completely low-budget, it’s camera movements, editing and lighting so minimal, it’s set decor and composition so sparse, that the viewer is rendered an uncomfortable voyeur, much akin to Paul Morrisey’s Trash but without the

struggle. Indeed, in a scene that will gamer remote enthusiasm from the Family Channel, Snake and Michelle summon up enough strength to make love, painful though it is for some to witness. This breakthrough suggests victory but is muted by the crucial conflict whereupon Snake discovers a long forgotten emergency stash and must face up to his ultimate fate. As a word to the squeamish, it may self-conscious kits&. Single takes be noted that needle penetration, lasting over five minutes are not vomiting and involuntary shitting uncommon. The portrayals are brilliant and the dialogue powerfuL ’ are kept to a merciful minimum, since Wasyk has more thoughtfully placed Small triumphs prevail despite the the greater emphasis on the characcrippling effects of their withdrawal. ters themselves.

Spanning the globe to bring the best events to see, and be seen at, Hip Haps lives up to its mission statement. This week brings a heady combination of literature, concerts and drama enough to please the most critical of palates. In fact, not since Duran Duran appeared on Toronto Rocks has there been so much happening in the greater Southern Ontario Region. If you cannot afford the time or the trip to Harbourfront to see the lnternational Festival of Authors, October 18-26, you can catch a glimpse of the humanities in Guelph at the Bookshelf Cafe on Sunday, October 20 at 3 pm, when Leon Rooke reads from his latest collection of fiction, Efte Happines of Others.
