Bob Rae reactions by Chris Evans

special to Imprint universities and colleges, school boards, municipalities, and hospitals are still reeling after this Tuesday’s announcement by Ontario Premier Bob Rae of what theyll have to make do with in the next three years. In a move unprecedented in Ontario political history, Rae appeared on television this week to discuss the state of the provincial economy. The news was not good, as he announced the lowest increase in provincial funding ever The provincial budget is in serious difficulties, with tax revenues for 1991 down by 1.5 per cent, the first year there has been a decrease since the 1940s. Job losses, with the resulting loss of income tax payments, reduced consumer spending, and cross-border shopping have all contributed to the decline. Current projections are that even with the proposed reductions in funding, the provincial deficit could swell to $14.3 billion this year. Calling that figure “unacceptable,” Rae, and provincial treasurer Floyd Laughren, announced that payments t to universities, school boards, hot+ municipalities will pitals, and increase by only one per cent in 1992, and two per cent in each of the following two years. Officials

Charest and Whelan find common ground

not have: raise the millrate.” Alan George, Vice President, Academic and Provost, said that firstyear enrollment would almost certainly have to be reduced from last year’s figures. However, he was quick to point out that last year’s admission was exceptionally high, so a reduction would not be as extreme as it might appear. Any cuts to staff and services, he said, will depend on the results of upcoming salary negotiations. With 85 per cent of the university’s budget going to salaries and benefits, if salary increases exceed funding increases, positions will have to be cut. John teddy, President of the Federation of Students, calls the move “short-sighted,” and predicts reduced enrollment, larger classes, and fewer teaching assistants, reduced purchases of new equipment, in addition to the announced seven per cent ($125) increase in tuition, He sees the announcement as a reflection of three things: financial realities, the public mood, and the lack of an effective student lobby. While he appreciates that the government has fi6 money to spare, he feels that if government officials had sat down with university and student representatives earlier, it might have

On Monday, January 20, a crowd of about 75 people (including Waterloo MP Walter McLean) gathered in the Theatre of the Arts at the University of Waterloo to hear a discussion on the Canadian constitution and the unity crisis currently facing Canada. The two guest speakers were Jean Charest, current Minister for the Environment in the Mulroney cabinet, and Eugene Whalen, the colourful former cabinet minister of the Tmdeau government. Questions on the proposed new constitution were posed by a panel consisting of Prof. Aubrey Diem, from Waterloo’s deptartment of geography, Mark Heckman, a local member of the Reform Party, Peter Misiaszek, a masters student in political science, and Thomas Richards, a fourth-year political science student. “A constitution foremost a mirror

Rae stated that with inflation expected to fall to near two per cent this year, the government cannot continue to fund increases far above that rate, as in previous years. Last year’s increase in funding to universities ‘was 7.3 per cent. Stating that Ontario is facing inevitable changes, Rae caIled on everyone to work together to reconstruct institutions and maintain services. He also appealed to the federal government to invest money in job creation, and pledged that Ontario would match any such funding. Reaction on campus to Rae’s announcement could best be described as disappointed, but res’igned, since it had been apparent for some time that increases would be small or non-existent. ‘“Ihe Premier has given the impression that, because at1 of these sectors (municipalities, universities, schools, and hospitals) are getting the same increases, he is treating them evenhandedly,” said UW President Douglas Wright. “But municipalities *and school boards always have another option that universities do

been possible to come up with more creative solutions. Leddy feels that universities are not currently a priority with the public, who are &ready paying threequarters of the costs of tuition through taxes, and are unwilling to pay any more. He also criticized the Ontario Federation of Students, saying that its calls for free tuition have removed its credibility as a lobby group both with the government and with the public. Michael Garvey, chairman of UW’s board of governors, was slightly more sympathetic of the NDP govemment’s actions, but was not willing to forgive the Premier. “We also recognize that these are tough times,” said Garvey. “But the province is forgetting that universities can be part of the solution to a recession, both through contributing to local economies and by training I people for the work force.” Garvey pointed out an Alliance of Ontario Universities report that showed that every dollar spent by a university can have a spin-off effect of three dollars in the 1ocaI economy.

is first that reflects

and the

country, reflects who and what we are,” Charest said in his opening remarks. He feels that people lost sight of this during the failure of the Meech Lake Accord during the summer of 1990. While Charest and Whelan agreed that Canadians were disillusioned by the Meech Lake process, they disagreed on the reasons. “It was the most undemocratic process ever,” said Whelan passionately, wearing his trademark green Stetson cowboy hat. “Eleven people behind closed doors deciding what’s good for 26 miIIion . . . people resented that.” Charest countered that everyone “got caught up in legal Ianguage and what the the ramifications were of the ‘distinct society’ clause.” l-le called the ‘distinct society’ clause a ‘bridge between Quebecois and the rest of Canada.” The men also agreed that it is time for Canadians to start focusing on what they have in common instead of concentrating on the differences. Charest said that we have to learn from each other and stay close.

Charest compared the situation in Canada to the one facing the former Soviet Union, Yugoslovia, and Czechoslovakia, namely, that there are issues of languages and identities that have to be addressed. “Canada is a federation and a federation does not try to make everyone the same,” Charest said. Whelan was optimistic about the future of Canada, and he summed up by saying that “the constitution is the most important issue facing Canada today . . . Canadians like what they have and they want to save it.“He also related something told to him by a friend: “The world is one great big roast beef. . . and Canada is the best slice.” Charest also felt positive about thtr future facing Canadians and said that “Canada should not be anything Iess that our destinies call us to be.” If the overall feeling of goodwill and honest effort that was felt at this forum is present across Canada, one cannot help but feel that something positive is going to come from this round of constitutional talks.

What

is the Overall Student

Directed

C-ted Plan?

The Student Centre Ad Hoc Committee, based on your input, has developed a three-point plan to meet the non-academic needs of LM’ students. The information used to determine student needs was initially gathered by intervietig small random groups of students from across campus. Based on the results of these interviews, a needs survey was developed and distributed to on cam-

pus students

and off campus

co-op

students. Close to 2,000 students respbnded to the survey. the results formed the basis for the following coordinated plan. The first part of the plan would be

the establishment of an Endowment Fund. A portion of this fund would be used to address immediate student needs (such as improved safety and accessibility), while the rest wodd be deposited into an account from which the interest would be used for on-going student projects. The second part is a major capital project, A New Student Centre, which will add 33,000 gross square feet of student space near the Campus Centre. Some retail operations existing in the Campus Centre could be moved into the new building and free up space for renovation These renovations would be undertaken to turn the basement of the Campus Centre in club spaces (offices and meeting rooms). The new student centre will allow for new joint retail ventms to provide better service to

students, The third part addresses the need for Additional PhysM Recreational Spa-. The University has plans to build a new $15million change facility and two new playing fields on the North Campus. The physical retreational needs of students could be incorporated into this project on the North Campus with the addition of multi-purpose recreational spaces to this proposed plan. How

CO-

sprbg

'91 - The Federation of Students, the Graduate Student Association, and UW’s administration developed a new process to

assess undergraduate, graduate and co-op student needs. This led to the creation of an ad hoc committee to determine whether a new project could be developed to meet these student needs. This project would have to be affordable and involve students in the decision-making process. Fall 91- A broadly based ad hoc student centre committee of over 30 individuals met six times. This committee was further broken down into the following sub-committees: needs, menu, and finance. Based on the information gathered from numerous student focus groups, an extensive needs survey was designed, with 7,000 of these surveys being distributed to on-campus

students students

and off-campus co-op @ads and undergrads).

of these, 1,987were returned and a co-ordinated plan to improve the quality of student life at UW was developed. Based on the fact that 70 per cent were in favour of the concept of a new student centre and coordinated plan, the ad hoc committee unanimously recommended that a three-point proposal go to the students in the form of a referendum. Both the Federation of Students Council and the Graduate Student Association approved the referendum question, process, and dates. The administration is supportive of the co-ordinated plan.

us to seek student opinion on the issue, lf the focus groups and surveys hadn’t clearly expressed a need for more space for activities such as COret sports or women’s self defense courses, then the Committee would not have unanimously recommended that we vote on the co-ordinated plan. In my opinion this plan is excellent because it is broadly-based, deals with a wide variety of needs (rccreational,- physical, retail, student needs) and finally is a financially feasible plan. If approved it will go a long way in helping to remove the “Waterloo - home of the geek” stigma attached to our university. Its objective is to improve student life on this campus for both current and future students. This of course is my opinion. It is your job, as a responsible voter, to inform yourself on the plan so as to develop your own informed opinion. Many avenues have been set up to get that information to you (information booths across campus, classroom speaking, etc.). Please do your part before next Tuesday.

Recent additions to the Women’s Studies Collection are on display through Feb. 28 at the University of Waterioo’s Rare Book Room in the Dana Porter Library. Included are selections from the Voice of Women / Jo Davis Papers; manuscripts of Barbara Smucker’s most recent book for young readers, Incredible Jumbo; and materials on family planning, sexuality and birth control (acquired with a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council). Bean scholarship offered by UW A new scholarship, named in honor of Kitchener-Waterloo business and community leader Wtilter Bean, has been established at the University of Waterloo. The Walter A. Bean Kitchener-Waterloo Community Foundation Scholarship will be a $1,000 award presented to a first-year UW student from Waterloo Region who has achieved a “high academic standing combined with outstanding leadership and good citizenship through involvement in extra-curricular activities within the school or community.” The endowment for the annual scholarship came from a dinner last September hosted in Bean’s honor by UW, the two local chambers of commerce, Canada Trust, Kitchener Rotary Club, the Kitchener-Waterloo Foundation and the Highland Fusiliers. Bean, who received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from UW last spring, is a former member of the board of governors at UW’s Renison College and was president of Waterloo Trust and vice-president of Canada Trust. His community service accomplishments include chairing the Kitchener Urban Renewal Committee for 11 years, former president of the United Way, Kitchener Chamber of Commerce and the K-W Community foundation, and governor of the Stratford Festival. Now retired, he remains an honorary director of six major companies. Grads receive NSERC honors Two recent graduates of the University of Waterloo have won honors in a national doctoral competition held by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). Wei-Chau Xie, who is now a UW civil engineering professor, was one of four winners of the national science and engineering prize given for the first time this year. He receives $5,000 and a silver medal. Barbara Sherwood Loller, who received a PhD in earth sciences last spring, was one of two runners-up in the science category. Xie won in the engineering category for his “important contributions in nonlinear structural dynamics and for his ingenious use of analytical and computational methods in his thesis research,” NSERC said. Sherwood Loller was cited for the “outstanding quality of her thesis on the origins of methane in the crystalline environment.” She is now an NSERC postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Earth Sciences at Cambridge University. Workshop on prejudice set for Grebel A two-day workshop on prejudice will be held Feb. 12 and 13 at the University of Waterloo’s Conrad Crebel College. “Reducing Prejudice . . . Restoring Pride” is a workshop on conflict, culture, race and ethnic+ presented by Conrad Grebel’s Inter-Racial and Cross-Cultural Conflict Resolution Project and The Network: Interaction for Conflict Resolution. The workshop will discuss the forms of prejudice and bias; recognize biases; address the “hurt” from experiences of discrimination and prejudice; affirm and build pride in the participants’ social identities; and develop effective responses to slurs, harassment or inappropriate jokes. It will include theories, discussion, ‘role-pIay, and socio-drama in the “participatory and experiential” sessions. The fee is $150, which includes lunches and refreshments, and the registration deadline is Feb. 5.

fireside chat It seems as though I’ve been writing about next week’s student life referendum for weeks now, but alas, it’s not every day that the student body decides on a multi-million dollar project. First of all, the Student Life Ad Hoc Committee, led by Associate Provost for Student Affairs Peter Hopkins and Fed President John Leddy, has done a heck of a job. They have taken the ashes of last year’s Student Life Building fiasco and built a reasonable and fair process. It’s rather cynical and difficult to find fault with the ways in which they have gathered student opinion and developed a proposal from that opinion. But one would not be far off if one were to describe me as both cynical and difficult. Here goes. Call me a traditionalist, but I’m used to the kind of referendum where there are two opposed, polarized, venom-spitting sides. “Yes” versus “No.” Clear and sensible versus dunder-headed and misguided. Good versus Evil. (Stay tuned . . . that’s coming up in February with the OFS referendum - you ain’t seen nothin’ yet). But this time, the Committee and the Federation of Students decided to hold an “informational campaign” instead of the kind of traditional, bipolar campaign that torpedoed last year’s proposal. Here are the advantages one might &sp&t in designing such a campaign, if one were cynical: (1) since the Federation is merely informing students about the project and is not campaigning for an official “Yes” side, accusations of conflict of interest are conveniently sidestepped, and (2) the lack of an official “No” side removes any significant criticism or dissent. From a merely selfish point of view, this lack of polarization makes this referendum a beck of a lot harder to cover in the pages of Imprint. Where do we go for dissent? There is none. In the absence of dissent, we have to create it. We are forced into the position of playing devil’s advocate if we don’t want to be just a conduit of information. Of course, it’s great PR for the Student Life Committee. When there is no formalized system for dissent, when students must seek out information on their own and make their judgments individually, the chances for a stampede toward a “No” vote - like last year - are virtually nil. Of course, a well-managed campaign doesn’t necessarily mean that we are being manipulated, does it? Probably not. I am tempted to give the Committee and the Federation the benefit of the doubt - it’s just something my spidey-sense is telling me. They have expended a lot of effort to ensure that student input is heard - and that we all know that student input has been heard. There’s one more iorm of student input that has to be consulted - next week’s referendum will make or break the issue. It is your responsibility, to the tin&ersity and to the next two decades ui UW studen& who will have to live with your decision, to educate yourself about this proposal and vote accordingly.

Bare breasts bring backlash I

“Set against the horrors of violence and degradation that continue to be perpetrated on women and children, her personai crusade is little more than trivial.” The above quotation is taken from an editotil in The Kitchepter- Water/o0 Record (January 21,1992) in reference to Gwen Jacob being convicted for indecent exposure, with a fine of $75. A lot of people would agree with that statement and many have dismissed her cause as trivial from the outset. It is ironic, however, that 224 Record would say this. They sent one of their reporters, Rose Simone, to cover the trial from start to finish. She probably wrote enough articles about Ms. Jacob to fill a full newspaper page. So, is the Record admitting that it bows to sensational issues? Or did it cover the story because they thought it newsworthy, but don’t have their act together enough to coordinate a stance amongst the news and editorial departments? Set against someficts, the editorial seems out of steps with real-life events such as the trial itself - like the judge making a comment that while men have to pay to see bare breasts in strip joints, they could have seen Gwen’s for free. He said it as somewhat of a joke, but that and similar statements reveal an attitudeOne could almost predict that Judge Bruce Payne’s verdict was pre-determined due to his own attitudes towards women especially those who rock the patriarchal boat and refuse to adhere to discriminatory laws. I agree that the right for a woman to walk down the street without a shirt on is, in one respect, tivial. However, we should look at the larger implications of this. There’s a possibility, lord help us, that more woman might start c&q this, or that more woman might begin to realize the patriarchal nature of the laws governing us. I’m quite sure that in the year 1852, the press would have asserted that women were no,t mentally competent enough to vote and that such demands were trivial since they had

no place in public life. However, “community standards” and the public’s attitude has changed. In his decision, Mr. Payne states that “I think the best evidence of what the community standard is in this community is that when women were left to their own choice of conduct in the community over the last number of years, they have not resorted to going about the streets with their breasts exposed.” A few pages before this, oddly enough, he quotes from R V. Dominion News & Gifts (1962) Ltd., which states ‘Times change and ideas change with them. Compared with the Victorian era, this is a liberal age in which we live . . . the personal experiences of the Judge unavoidably compose part of the mix producing the assessment of general community standards.” Society won’t remain in a static state of general community standards, however, because people like Ms. Jacob will challenge them. Normally, I would feel uncomfortable doing what she did. But if it was 33 degrees Celsius, I wouldn’t really give a shit what the community standards were. What Gwen Jacob has argued, and rightfully so, is that she was charged with indecent exposure because she was a woman. That is, there were likely men walking around Guelph without shirts on who did not arouse any attention or get charged. Many women’s issues can be and are considered trivial at different points in time. Gender-neutral language is now almost an accepted norm among most of the universitv community. Society also has realized that there is some harm in portraying women in “traditional” roles in primary school textbooks. At one point in time, these instances were not questioned. A larger issue surrounding all of this is the denial of validity of women’s grievances, whether it be rape or the right to bare breasts. During November of last year, there were

crisis

To the editor, There is a crisis in womens’ health care in Kitchener-Waterloo. The most telling indication of this is that last week, access to safe abortion services officially reached zero. Years of harassment by pro-life groups has succeeded in hounding one doctor after another out of providing this service. And now they have the icing on their cake. But the case of this fast doctor is special. Though he limited his practice to four abortions per week, these were performed only for young women who could not leave the region, This is a vulnerable group. It is painful to recall that just days before the House of Commons passed Bill C-43 (29 May 19901, a l&year old woman in Kitchener was seriousty injured and rushed to hospital following a botched “backstreet” abortion by an untrained person. Perhaps four young women each week in our city will now be faced with the same anguishing choices’ that this woman faced. Perhaps they too will seek health care at Tony’s Billiards and end up in the emergency ward. Or perhaps some of them will die. A lonely death, like that of Yvonne Jurewicz. She Gas 20 when she bled to death in Toronto, not two weeks after this incident in Kitchener, when she attempted a self-induced abortion with a coat hanger. Such are the tragic consequences for women who do not have access to complete information and saftl health care. Prior to legalization of abortion in 1969, such tragedy was not uncommon. But it is difficult to fathom that in 1992, K-W is regressing into that climate where distress and misinformation replace actual health care. All women’s lives are at risk, but experience shows that it is young women, like those referred to this fast doctor, who are in special danger. Those people who have helped persuade’ every single doctor in K-W to stop providing abo&ion services are gleeful today. But let it ring out in no uncertain terms: these prolifers’ don’t care about life at all - 1/1c;l’IIIIL~I hrrr tr,lNJ~tf

That must never happen. Students and workers united, we must be visible and incessant in demanding reproductive rights and proper health care. This is linked with other issues: midwifery, contraception, daycare, violence, harassment, employment equity, and the freedom to love openly as we choose.

viewing small random groups of students from across campus. Based on the results of these interviews, a needs survey was developed and distributed to on campus students and off campus co-op students. Close to 2000 students responded to the survey. A plan was formulated from these results. This plan has been thoroughly explained in a pamphlet appropriately entitIed “Inf on-n yourself about the Coordinated Student Directed Plan on lmproving the Quality of Student Life at UW.” I encourage student to obtain this pamphlet from the Federation of Students office to educate themseIves. The challenge we face on January 28th and 29th (polling stations are across campus) is shaping the future of student life. A similar challenge was faced years ago for the Campus Centre, but was has that decision yielded? Only the top grossing campus bar in Canada, the turnkey desk, a games room, office space, meeting rooms, a bank machine, a record store, a campus shop, a used book store, and on, and on, and on. Can you imagine student life without the Campus Centre? The groundwork has been laid. Our plan the students’ to improve the quality of student fife is here, Educate yourself, exercise your right to vote, and make a difference. Vote YES on January 28-29 and shape the future of UW student life. Chris Bardegia Senior Head Don of Village I

This time yes To the editor, Last time I said no. This time is different. First of all, I’m well informed, There is a pamphlet out which describes the plan, how it was developed, what students ti1 gain, how it will be financed and managed. There are information booths that were set up in the campus centre, CPW, MC, AL, Biology and environmental students buildings. I can call x2478 with any questions that I have regarding the information I’ve received. I had some concerns that were addressed by Peter Hopkins. I found out that the building committee, made up of students, will be involved with the design. I learned that students will not pay for the operating costs. I am assured that it will not end up like another Eaton’s Centre on cami3us. I learned that studeits voted on and paid for the campus centre that I use today . . . [and so does the Imprint and many other clubs and services). Thank you to the Student Ceritre Ad Hoc Committee for informing us really well this time around! ’ Sue Hanna 48 Systems

Right .to life

To the editor, To the editor, I would Iike to applaud the efforts of the Federation of Students for their approach to improving the quality of student life at UW, in particular, the proposed Student Life building. Unlike the previous “push the plan through” attempt, consideration has now truly been given to the needs of students. An open and honest communication channel with students and administration has been maintained through the learning process. External consultants were summ&ed to interview numerous individuaIs on campus, predominantly student leaders. Their purpose was to determine what was missing, or wrong, with the last “Student Life Building” plan and what shou1d be included. A subsequent report followed. Yet the Federation’s efforts did not cease there. A Student Centre Ad Hoc Committee was coordinated to develop a three-point plan to meet the non-academic needs of UW students. The information used to determine student needs was initially gathered by inter-

This is a reply to Sandy Atwal’s article on November 22, 1991 (“Animals Have No Rights“) . Let’s take it point by point: vegetarianism has nothing to do with “political correctness,” but with the fact that more and more people are becoming aware of the cruelty and exploitation man is subjecting his fellow creatures to. It is not an “unfounded” morality as you express it, but an awakening to the thought that man is partaking in the life of the earth, and should not dominate it to the detriment of other life-forms. You say, why should we respect animals at all? Why respect their right to life?” Why then should anybody respect your life? Just because you are able to think in abstracts? You are

an animal

with

soul and mind. Other animals have souls too and minds, intelI& iE you wish, even if they don’t major in metaphysics. How can you say, a rock has nothing to offer you thus you can respect: “it is a thing.“A

rock is fulfill&g is function of being a rock. And so it merits respect for being what it is supposed to be. A human being that behaves immorally does not deserve respect because it is not f&ilIing it’s potential (for goodness, perfection as a human being), or at least have the will to be so. . , It is arrogant to say animals don’t merit rights of liberty because “they have nothing to offer of interest.” Liberty is a God-given right and not dependent on human interes!. Humans arrogantly and often abusively usurp this right just for themselves, regardless of damage or loss of life to fellow creatures. “Why should cows have a world vieti? It is unnecessary for their existence. But necessary for man who has to stand on guard for his own rights and existence, conskntly threatened by his fellow man. And it is our greed, arrogance, selfishness, and disrespect for the earth and other fellow creature; that inhabit it that endanger the survival of our species. First we lose respect for morality and then our own lives through merciless exploitation of other life forms. It is not absolutely necessary to become a strict vegetarian. But I applaud the American Indians who ask forgiveness of an animal that has to lose its life to sustain his, man’s And thank him for it. This is respect. I do not expect you to prey in front of a package of sausages. You justify it by eating it. But if you would just throw it into the garbage, that would be disrespectful to the animal that has lost its life. And that is what I object to, your disrespectfulness of other creatures who are different from your own species. Last point: “other people’s freedoms must be respected and not railroaded by pseudo ethics.” Your freedom of choice is not impinged on. But if your conscience gets pricked because of the awakening ethics and awareness of other people - good! Above ethics are valid, not false or pseudo, or misguided as you see it, Edith Boldt St. Jacobs

To the editor,

In an article on the validity of student cards as age ID in campus bars, your reporter says “While talking to Imprint, (Bombshelter manager Larry Vaughn) proved his point by producing a couple dozen ID cards that had been confiscated by Bombshelter staff.” (“Campus pubs ignore ruling” - Nov. 29, 1991.)

Apparently Federation Hall has a policy of card confiscation as well Such confiscation is nowhere authorized by the Liquor Licence Act or regulations thereunder. A suspicion by a staff member that an ID card has been tampered with gives the staff member only the right to refuse admission to the estabIishment. There is no concurrent right to confiscate the allegedly tampered-with card. It is a clear violation of students’ rights that ID cards are confiscated on1y on the opinion of bar staff, without due process of law. And even if it turns out the card has in fact been tampered with, it is still the property of the person who owns it.

I hope that the Bombshelter and Federation Hall will immediately stop confiscating ID cards their staff believe to) be fraudulent. I encourage anyone whose id.entification has in the past been confiscated at a bar to seek compensation, through legal avenues if necessary. Mathew Englander 4N English

Chuck Chuck To the editor, Over received policies toward most of

several years Federation Hall has a lot of criticism concerning both it’s and the attitudes of it’s employees patrons. For the longest time I felt this criticism was unfounded.

However, since becoming an employee at Federation Hall I encountered many incidents that would lead me to beIieve that in fact many of these criticisms are the truth. However, in my opinion the problems at Federation Hall do not stem from the employees but rather from the management. Federation Hall’s attempt to gain a reputation as a “Great Night Spot” will never be a reality until the entire management is replaced. Manager, Chuck McMullin, is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle standing between Federation Half’s present reputation and a new more positive one. During my two year employ at Federation Hall I saw Chuck perhaps ten to twelve times. On the occasions that I did talk with Chuck his attitude toward me was distant and inexcusably ignorant; many other employees experienced the same treatment. The overall opinion of Mr. McMullin among Federation Half staff is unquestionably negative. Chuck has no respect for his employees just as he has no respect for his patrons. He works nine to five and concerns himself solely with his own personal duties, consequently his attitude breeds a negative response from a!l employees. As for the three student managers, well they are simply smaller versions of Mr. McMulfin. With this type of management Federation Hall will never serve the positive purpose that it was meant to; employees have no pride in their work, they don’t enjoy their work an& consequently their job actions display this. Employees at Federation Hall are as frustrated with the management as the patrons are. Although each year complaints concerning Federation Hall’s inadequacies flood the Imprint nothing is ever done to correct the source of the problem, the management. Federation Hall must be given the opportunity to provide the Federation of Students with the level of enjoyment that is acceptable to all University students. Federation Hall is not a “Great Night Spot”, there is not doubt it could be, but the &th of the matter is that it will never be if the current management remains. Name withheld

As Canadians struggle with constitutional change and battle a recession, multiculturalism as state policy has come under increasing attack. With the threat of Quebec separation looming large, Canada’s multiculturalism policy is considered partly responsible for Canada’s lack of a strong national identity. In recessionary times, funding for multiculturalism is considered imprudent and wasteful. To be sure, there is a problem with Canada’s multiculturalism policy. The solution, however, is not to abolish legislated sup port for multiculturalism as Alberta Premier Donald Getty suggest, but rather to reassess and redefine the existing policy. Moreover, a government with a vision would be able to communicate Canada’s cultural diversity as our national identity, as a unifying force. An examination of Canada’s multiculturalism policy as reflected in the Canadian Multiculturalism Act (1988) indicates that the policy is a symbol without substance. The Act is a collection of flowery phrases. It commits the government to “recognize and promote,” “encourage and assist,” and “preserve and enhance” the cultural diversity of Canada, without providing any enforcement mechanisms. The Act states that the Minister of Multiculturalism and Citizenship should ensure that the policy is implemented throughout federal institutions. It does not, however, provide any prescriptions or impose any penalties on minsters whose departments have failed to implement the policy. And let’s be realistic. A minister wiII rarely sIap another minister (his or her colleague) for not implementing the policy. Unfortunately, statistics show that in several federal government agencies, the government’s record on hiring visible minorities

is significantly below their numbers as a percentage of Canada’s population. Without any enforcement mechanisms and lacking any teeth, the policy is not and cannot be “imposed on Canadians” as Getty stated at a meeting of the Rotary Club in Edmonton. Rather, it is a symbolic recognition of Canada’s cultural diversity and of the contributions of diverse cultural groups to the country’s evolution. As such, it is valuable and its importance should not be underrated. It means a great deal for Canadians to be abIe to point the Canadian Multicultural&n Act, a concrete recognition by the state of their significance, and to see their individual identities reflected within it. As is the case with most other government programs, spending on multiculturalism should be reviewed, with an eye to eradicating any wasteful spending. One suggestion is to redirect expenditures on ethnic food fairs and dance festivals to more meaningful and more necessary areas such as language training and life skills training for new Canadians. If the government allows immigrants into Canada then it must simultaneously accept responsibility for easing their transition ‘to a new country thus ensuring that they wiI1 be able to participate meaningfully in their new country. Getty’s solution is a lazy man’s way out. He views multiculturalism as “an irritant” and so wants to scrap it. Simply put, his solution implies that if a policy is difficult to deal with, it should be scrapped, regardless of its role in Canada’s history and its significance to the people. Perhaps Getty should leave these quick-fix, meaningless solutions to Preston Manning of whom we have come to expect them.

Do beetles get stoned?

Multiculturalism is a valuable symbol by Antonella

Friday,

It was very early in the morning. Perhaps I was just tired, or maybe I was delirious. The urge to feed the tiny insect crawling across my philosophy notebook was tremendous. I was curious. Do beetles get stoned? I picked up a remnant of my cookie, placing it beside him (sony, I’m not feeling PC, I’m not gender conscious at 5 am). His little antennae went up, and he started frantically salivating. I felt good. Is this how God feels? I’m sure he thought it was a miracle. How else would he explain coming across ultimate sweetness among mountains of dusty books? He maintained a healthy distance from the archipelago, perhaps sus@cting that the sinister play of shadows nearby was somehow related to his good fortune. I yearned to see him partake of my baking, hoping that his acceptance of my offering could justify my very being. In a flash, he did what looked suspiciously like a belly-flop onto that crumb. In sum, I felt as I did on those brisk fall days long ago, when I surreptiously jumped into what looked then like huge fragments of a natural heaven. I felt tears running schmaltzy down my cheeks when I thought of days past when I could appreciate my own internal reality as just a whirling kaleidoscope of shapes and smells bleeding madly together. How I wish now that the profoundly simplistic life would return, filling me with wonder and awe, giv-

ing me a spirit of renewal to fill the empty heartache of acid complexity! Ewatched as my tiny mahogany relative ate what I gave. What did he feel? Is Iife so very hard for those who life so simply? I wished that I had a way to opt out of this lifelong contract of barbaric cruelty tow,ard nature -which binds the souls of men. I wanted to taste without thinking to smell without fear. Indeed, life is in many ways) a double hook. I felt the conflict rising. As She& Watson said, if you hook twice the glory, you also hook twice the fear. Man had indeed ‘glorified’ himself, building the concrete jungle, stirring the Earth up into a twilight of toxic variations. Extinction is bIessed in such circumstance. The beetle does not fear what he has built, for glory is of no interest to those who lead the simple life. 1 wondered. What does the beetle think of my edible creation? Does he taste the fear of the man in the West Indies, who wonders as he cuts the sugar cane in the blistering sun whether or not he can feed his family with the pennies dropped at his feet by capitalist varnpires? I don’t think the beetle perceives this, As I write, the beetle has separated a smaller boulder of that trump away, and is slowly disgesting it. I-Ie loves it. We all love it. Do we care how we get it? Our gluttony separates us from everything else on this planet. We dominate and overcome only to be isolated. I think that beetle is getting stoned. It’s pretty powerful, isn’t it?

This new proposal by the federal government will be subject to great debate as the government only presented an introduction of the concept. The Canada Clause would be considered a new preamble to the constitution. It would include basic aboriginal rights, mention of Canada’s democratic and multi-ethnic makeup, its shared vaIues and commitments as well as Quebec’s responsibility to preserve and promote its distinct society, Depending on how the Canada Clause is worded (no wording has been offered) it couId act as a measure to “put Canada first,” or serve as a modem day proclamation of Canada’s “nature.”

Senators are presently appointed directly by the Prime Minister. The seats of the Senate are distributed on the basis of regions. The West, Ontario and Quebec all have 24 allotted seats, with the Atlantic provinces having 30, Newfoundland retaining six and the territories each having one. The federal proposals concerning the reform of the Senate include representation based on provinces rather than regions. The proposals call for Senators directly elected by the voters. The federal government has also posed questions as to whether or not the Senate should include guaranteed representation of women, aboriginal and minority groups. Another area offered for consideration by the federal proposals in the form of a question is that of proportional representation in the Senate.

The Seven-Fifty

Rule

The seven-fifty rule refers to the amending formula set by the 1982 Constitution Act. It applies to changes of the Constit$ion that are National in nature and requires the passing of amendments through Parliament and twothirds (seven) of the provinces representing at least 50 percent of the population of Canada. The understanding of the constitutional debate that rages within Canada is perhaps the most important element in the rational, intelligent and effective discussion of the problems we face.

Instead of certaii!$ ment for native p define their rights as including full and sovereign ownership of their land and resources, cultural rights. legal recognition of customary law, and inherent right to self-government. The current proposals tabled by the federal government include a right to selfgovernment that could be enforced by the courts, Its proposal of autonomy within the Canadian federation does not meet with the demands of the Assembly of First Nations that represent 633 bands of widely diverse lndian nations (falling short of unlimited recognition of self-government). Aboriginal rights gained enormous exposure during the failed Meech Lake negotiations. It was native leader Elijah Harper who, through procedural action, prevented the passing of the Accord in the Manitoba legislature. His actions were to protest against the lack of aboriginal consideration in the Meech Lake process.

W&e on a mission...from God If you are a full-time student at this institution of supposed higher leamin& you are entitled to vote on a proposal called the “Student Directed Plan on Improving the Quality of Student L.ife at UW,” otherwise known as the Student Life Centre. Unfortunate@ I doubt that more than 30 per cent of you will turn up to exercise such a right. Then if it passes, the other 70 per cent will be bitching about paying an extra $10 or $25 per term for this plan. In the interests of clarity, let’s call it a Student Life Centre, or SLC. There was something similar to this last year, that was called an SLB - the B standing for building. Unfortunately, it was primarily an athletic complex and, all students not being concerned with their health, the idea was soundly defeated. There were also problems such as a lack of student input and a sense of having the proposal thrust upon the voters. With this in mind, this year’s Federation executive set out to get a more accurate gauge of what students really want. Committees, consultants, about a hundred “focus groups,” Associate Provost for Student Affairs Peter Hopkins, the GSA and Fed presidents, Ad Hoc Task Forces, and more were set up in order to find out what students want and how much they will pay fat’ it. The main source of their information was nearly‘! 2,000 surveys that students filled o@t about what they want. There were nearly 50 different “menu”items - sort of like a wish list - such as a weight room, smoking lounge, etc., that students were asked to rank in order of importance. The top 25 features that students want were determined and are listed on the yellow pamphlets that have been floating about the campus lately. From all the surveys, they’ve determined that we want firstly part A - a “Student Directed Project Endowmen t Fund” of $750,000, to be funded by a $10 per term fee for a maximum of seven terms. A student-dominated

advisory board of some type will decide how to spend the interest that they skim off the three-quarters of a million. That sounds reasonable. I have no problem with contributing something which will inevitably help me in some manner, as a student. My prbblem with the proposal is that whcan’t vote for part A or4y. If we redly want part A, we have to put out an “estimated” $6.6 milhon for part I3 (the Student Centre) and $2.9 million for part C, the Physical Recreation project. LRt us use our thumbs to count the number of times we’ve heard of construction proiects not onIy being completed & &me, but

Last year, when students had to vote on the SLB, they had three options to vote on. Granted, they all were overwhelmingly physical activity buildings and had next to no student centre concepts. There was, however, a sense of choice. 1can’t speak for everyone, but 1feel as though I’m being raihoaded into paying out at least $10 million for two buildings if I want to see an endow-

ment tind established. Another point that needs to be brought up is that once the buildings are completed and paid for, & university will OWM it, for the same reason that they’re going to own Fed Hall, ifit doesn’t sink our student government first. Another “student paid for but owned by the administration”project is the Campus Centre. Students unfortunately haven’t been in control of it for at least ten years, as far as I tin tell. A student-dominated Campus Centre Board is+ supposed to bi in charge of what happens there, but this hasn’t been the case for many years. However, Peter Hopkins plans on reinstating that board in the immediate future. While we’re speaking about the Campus Centre, it’s worth noting that there actually is unused space within the building. Doesn’t the downstairs of the CC always seem so much smaller than the main level? It is. There’s unused space down there that is currently accessible only through medium-sized holes cut in the wall. Columbia Icefields is the one project paid for and managed by A student-dominated students. advisory board of some type is actually in charge of the facility. Of course, it’s only a limited-use athletic complex that doesn’t get used by everyone. Although I am dwelling on this ownership issue, do not vote against it for that reason, because there’s no way that the administration is going to sell us a little parcel of land in the middle of the campus. But if this idea actually flies, just keep in mind that students are supposed to be in charge of it in the future. There are two things I’d like to reiterate before you vote. First, be sure to cast a vote. You have no right to complain either way if you don’t. Secondly, I want to once again highlight what I see as the major problem with this proposal - there’s not enough options. Many people I’ve

statement containing already-astronomical incidental fees. If you vote for the building, consider what you are committing yourself and future students to. Also consider that if past generations of students were scared to take chances, we wouldn’t have the Campus Centre, Fed Hall, or thle Icefields. If you need more information, pick up a yellow pamphlet from the information booth in the campus centre, or go speak to our Federation of Students President, John Leddy.

spoken to about the proposal also point to the “alI-or-nothing” aspect I favour the endowment fund, but haven’t made up my mind about part B, the Student Life Centre. I do know that I have absolutely no desire to see more physical activity buiIdings constructed - part C -butImightbe willing to pay for it in order to get the first two parts in motion. If all goes as pIanned, I wilI complete my education in the near future and consequently will be paying very little toward the project. Idon’t know if future generations wiU be pleased having another $25 lopped onto a fee

U W foreign graduate students sharpen Englis 1 skills at Conestoga from WV News

Bureau

International graduate students at UW’s Faculty of Mathematics are practising their English language skills at Conestoga College. An agreement between the two post-secondary institutions is permitting 24 foreign students this term to deveIop and sharpen conversational abilities under tutelage of English-asa-second-language instructors at the college’s Waterloo campus. The eight-week course satisfies a key need as many foreign grad students are also teaching assistants (TAs) and therefore require greater fluency in English. At present, the cost is being covered by UW’s Academic Development Fund. “What we find is that many of our foreign graduate students need help in speaking English,” says Prof. Keith Geddes, an associate dean of mathematics. “It seems to us that the community colleges offer some very useful programs for that need.” Shirley Thomson, assistant to the dean of mathematics, says that although foreign graduate students function well in reading and writing, their conversation skills are often found to be lacking. “That’s a particular concern when they are serving as TAs, interacting with undergraduates in tutorials. So the faculty dehded to tailor a course our graduate specifically for students.” Negotiations on the English con-

versational course began early last year, involving UW and coUege representatives. By late fall, a pilot course was offered and it received enthusiastic response from students. The proiect is seen as an excellent example of collaboration between a university and a community college, Geddes says. “The community college is the place where the expertise for English language instruction lies and it seems like a good idea to exploit that expertise,” he says.

the

Many of the graduate students in language course come from

China, as well as from European countries. Already, there is a waiting list for the pop&r course. It enables students to learn and practise common idioms, phrasal verbs and prepositions, as well as discuss topical issues and make class presentations. Social outings and other activities are held so students become more familiar with l&al and Canadian customs. Before the course gets under way, instructors meet the students to determine their language proficiency, as well as their expectations and interests.

more sympathetic hard luck.

by Mihael Brpm Imprint staff

“Language is a virus from outer space.” - wiIliarn s. +Burroughs The same day the Toronto Sun was trumpeting the arrival of Jack Morris into the fold of the Toronto Blue Jays, the Globe and Mail ran a front page photo of a 41-year-old black man standing in front of the headquarters of General Motors in Detroit holding a sign that read: “Will work for food.” The discrepancy between the full page colour photo of the 37-year-old baseball player, who is about to be paid (earn?) $15 million dollars over the next three years, and the black and white photo of the unemployed man desperate simply to eat is telling of our current state of affairs. And most telling of the difference between those two newspapers.

The Canadian economy is in the worst state it’s been in since the (Great?) Depression, we’re told. One in four people in Metro Toronto relies on some form of social assistance. The headline of the Globe that day announced GM was cutting 20,000 white collar jobs and 54,000 blue collar jobs from its North American operations in 1992. And the Sun glorified a man, already a multimillionaire, about to dip into seven figures a mere 15 more times.

Something more like Woody Guthrie. Dustball folk music for dustball times.

But the question this careful attention to popular culture raises concerns the interconnectedness of our society.

It’s easy to have noble ideas about the freedom of speech. Generally, the response from the university community is that it should be an unequivocal right of all individuals to be able to speak their minds no matter how much we disagree with them. Usually the famous phrase ‘1 don’t agree with whai you have to &y but 111fight for your right to say it” is quoted. The argument is usually conjecture or hypothetical because rarely do we find personal instances where someone is infringing upon our right to say something. However the question becomes less academic when we &e instances such as the recent one in Denver where the city allowed a Ku Klux Klan demonstration on Martin Luther King day.

Jean-Paul Satie, the noted French existentialist, must have been a lonely man, Sinione de Beauvoir et al. notwithstanding. If human existence is somehow senseless, empty, and trivial because nature is perceived to be absurd, irrational, and ultimately silent, it is most probable that we would become anxious, maybe selfdoubtful, maybe even desperate enough to imagine suicide. A terrifying thought indeed.

But I must question

the existentialist preFor I believe nature has a rational essence, a striving for creative self-expression. Nature is not mere “matter and motion’% the materialists would have us believe. Matter has an inherent tendency for self-organization, from the most inorganic of elements towards a complexity of organic forms. mise that

Human Being. Indeed, we literally become metaphors for nature and natural history. But we play a price for the gift of symbolization and language: our existential predicament. For the first time in natural history, one of nature’s own must confront its own morality amidst an eternal universe. But this broad expanse, this blank canvas, awaits the paintbrushes of our story. And with its many tints and shades and techniques brings beauty and horror and meaning. In 1958, Hannah Arendt noted three fundamental activities of human beings: labour,

work, and action. labour and work corresponded to the human conditions of living (eating, sleeping, birth, death) and producing the world (buildings, tools, material things). But it was action that she reserved for the human condition: “.Action, in so far as it engages in founding and preserving political bodies, creates the condition for remembrance, that is, for history.”

. H: Robert Bly makes it very clear that the wildman is a natural god of the forest, a shaman, he’s a healer, he’s a part of nature. Part of the wildman is a natural exuberance, this is a man who cares for the world, and his body, mind, spirit, and soul. This is not a self-destructive, stupid, savage man. The wildman is in fact almost a utopian ideal of what a man can be if he is allowed the full beauty of his expression.

Imprint: Many people seem tobe apprehensive it’s only men and it’s for men abuut the fact only. Can you exploZn why that is? Hancock: A man needs to be with other men to learn the issues that he needs to know. A man cannot learn all he needs to know from being with women. One of the things that has happened over the centuries is that the role of men has been weakened by absent fathers. The simple fact i$ that men need to be together. Men have to be together, and I don’t just mean white middle class men but I mean men all over the world. In fact, the new direction this work has taken is multi-cultural, where men of all colOurs, creeds and origins are getting together to work on mythological issues. I want to make it very clear that this work is very simple. It’s so simple that most men don’t get it the first time around. All we do is sing, dance, drum, and tell stories. That’s aU we do. But if you look at each component that I just mentioned, there is a complete philosophy about living in the world, and the work that we do is about participating in the world. What we do is we simply get in touch with the power of male beauty. I: &me people abn ‘r see a d~i$ewnce betw~~ mepl and women. l%ey want to acknowledge the

Hz What we do is ritual work, and that means L that you have to be in a ritualized space which excludes the trivial. Men who get together over a few drinks might very well make some progress, but usually what happens is that there is a lot of shaming, a lot of denial, a lot of anger, a lot of frustration, a lot of small talk, a lot of fake language about sports, ‘how about those Argos,’ about sexual conquest, usually lies. Very little honest talk about the true reality of their lives. The work that we do can only happen with committed men who want to find out what life is really about. What it truly is about is greater than the day to day trivialities of it. Men too often have been hung up on ego identity issues without seeing the beauty of the world that is within them. Let me make it very clear that the work that we do is spiritual in nature. It’s about the fact that a man is more than his job and his career and his family responsibilities, What we do is we try to expand the aperture of his vision.

simmilanfies mther than the difemcs Why do pu emphasize the uniqueness of being male?

...a Mural god of the forest, a shaman...

H: Emphasizing the similarities has led us down an incredibly destructive path. What has happened is that men have gone into a complete denial of their own beauty, their OWn strength, their Own joy in king in the world. What it has meant is that men have been weakened in their own joy of living. Michael Made has done a aeri~s ~6 tapes called “When Men Went One Way and Women Went Another.“What has happened is that a real gap has developed in gender issues, so that we are literally not communicating with each other.

I: Is the men’s movemwlt trying to be cont~erSibI? H: What has happened with the patriarchy, which women have correctly criticized, is that we realize it simply hasn’t worked. What may be controversial is that we’re challenging structures which no longer work anymore.

I: What motivates you to JdiriW your spurred time so this cuuse? What dues it do. for you? H: This work has changed my life, it’s no longer about shame, anger, and denial. It’s helped me share with other men, what their lives could be, its full potential. The problem that men have is that they simply can’t communicate. What this work does, more than anything, is that it gives the opportunity to men to communicate honw tly, in a way that has been completely lost in the industrial-technical world that we live in.

Men are afraid to be with each other, they are

women, and us who) are working in the mythopoetic tradition. So it’s more like there are men’s movements. of these, the one that has received the most press is the Robert Bly,

really made oJ? James Hillman, Robert Moore, and Michael Meade approach, in other words the mythopoetic men’s movement that draws a lot from Jungian teachings and traditions. This movement makes for good copyf because it’s easy to mock, it often takes place in the woods, this is the work that uses the drums, masking. In other words it’s about soul-work, and it’s about getting in touch with older traditions. Much of the press coverage has b?en written by uninitiated men or by women who have grudges agaihst male authority figures, and as a result of that there is a lot of mockery, and a lot of put down, and no serious investigation of what the Work is about. In that sense it is inaccurate. So much of the work from the outside-in can seem trivial, as opposed from the insideout. For example if I say what drumming can do for you, it sounds silly when I explain it. If you actually pick up a drum with 30 or 40 other men, who also have conga drums, jimbes, larger drums, it is absolutely astonishing what happens to your body. The emotional body wakes up, the body s&s to move, the

spirit body starts to move, a lot of things happen. That sounds absolutely silly when it’s written about. That’s one of the reasons why there has been very little serious writing about the mythopoetic men’s movement. It’s experienced. The other part of the story that is really important to understand here is that the language of the journalist is not the language of the poet, and the work that we do is based on poetry, which is condensing the language,

H: Most young men are in crisis right now, and don’t know it. They have unresolved father issues, often a lot of anger against their fathers, or their mothers, they have no mentors, the connection with their grandfathers and great-grandfathers is broken, they don’t know who they are. They are not in crisis yet, so my fear is that there will be a lot of mockery of the movement, if it is presented to them prematurely. But men go into crisis at certain times in their lives, and they are in crisis

because it is a time that requires initiation. Without a proper initiation, a young man cannot be complete. So many men when they get into their thirties’ crisis, their forties’ crisis, or even their twenties’ crisis is because there have not been elders or mentors to help them

cross that path The soul, which is what we’ work on, knows what it wants. When the soul starts to express what it wants, a young man starts to experience a very strange longing, a_ longing to be somewhere else, to do some other things, to stretch himself, to reach out; and without proper ritual support, that young man’s desires are often frustrated. The first half of a man’s life is very Freudian, the ego, id, super-ego are being developed, but the last half of a man’s life is Jungian, into the my+ teries of the underworld. So often a man is * his middle thirties, pushing forty, and sudl4 denly the career is no longer what he wants: the relationship is no longer what he wants’, he wants to know what is the meaning of it all] That is when the initiation starts into th6 Jungian underworld. For young men it is absolutely important to get involved in this work, so that their ritual crises, when they occur, occur when they are expected to occur, and are not traumatic.

A Debate l?mwn Btwkchin and Dave Foreman

Murray Black Rose Books, 147 pages $12.95, paperback by Phiuip thee Imprint staff

“Conventional efforts at reform are certainly safer and they are, in some ways, better rewarded By staying within normal channels you can usually avoid serious political repression,” says Dave Foreman

in the bookDefend-

ins the Earth. ‘“You are also validated rather than vilified. The effect of this validation, is to dampen the effectiveness of a movement. I suspect that it is basic human nature to be wanted to be accepted by the social milieu in which you find yourself. It hurts to be dismissed by the official arbiters of opinion as ‘nuts,’ ‘terrorists,’ ‘wackos,’ or ‘extremists. I think much of the desire to be ‘moderate’ and ‘pragmatic’ grows out of the understandable desire to gain credibility or legitimacy with the media and the political and economic leaders currently running our soci .“ effort 2 ending the Eah, a cooperative organized by the Learning Alliance of New York City, brings together the two major spokespeople of the two major wings of the Murray radical ecology movement: Bookti, the seminal voice of social ecology, and Dave Foreman, a co-founder of the radical direct-action environmental group Earth First! and a deep ecology supporter.

Beyond the pages of environmental journals and alternative magazines

oblivious

such as Z Maguzhe, Utne Reader, and l%e Nation, most of us never knew that Bookchin had blasted Foreman, “Deep Ecology,” and a plethora of New Age mystics, since launching his t%st rhetorical attack at a gathetig of Greens in 1987. hrtunate CBC Radio listeners may have caught David Cayley’s “Age of Ecology” on Ester Sii&ir’s Ideas program in the summer of -lf990 and heard Bookchin complaining about ‘Deep Ecology” and Arne Naess, the NOW@ philosopher who first set out the theoretical foundation of that movement.

Deep ecology is a ‘Ibiocentric” philosophy, crudely speaking where human beings must see themselves as merely one of many species in nature, and believes that protecting the wilderness is the most important task in saving the planet otherwise there will be no planet left in which to fix the social problems we live with now. Social ecology advances a humanism” in philosophy of “ecological which radical changes in our social relationships are first needed to create a conscious cultural sensibility willing to defend the earth. Primarily, the ethos of hierarchy and domination we have internalized must be radically removed. What bothered Bookchin about deep ecology was not so much the seemingly misanthropic rhetoric of its acolytes and Foreman in particular, but the fear that the bgical ideological conclusions of deep ecology could lead to these extreme “biocentric”positions in the first place - thata pathogenic virus has as much ri@t as a a human being to survive. As he sees it, deep ecology is conceptually flawed if it needlessly attacks valid ideas outside its purview as being “anthropocentric” and ignores the social relationships that create many of the environmental problems. If one reason for this book was to reconcile Bookchin and Foreman’s differences with respect to these philosophical and political positions, Lk$md&tg the Earth has succeeded. It is understandable why Bookchin took exception to Foreman’s comments on Ethiopian famineand Latin American immigration. ln an interview for a deep ecology magazine in 1986, Foreman made remarks to the effect that “. . . best thing would be to just let nature seek its own balance, to let people just starve.. .” in Ethiopia and ‘. . . letting the USA be an overflow valve for problems in Latin America is not solving a thing.” Foreman regrets making such”off-the-cuff”statements and has distanced himself from them, although the

“heretical little troll” in his head tells him we must still remedy the conditions creating these problems. What makes this book

worthy of a wider audience is the consensus that emerges. Both Bookchin and Foreman strongly believe the ecological crisis is the symptom of a western society “rotten to the core” and that feeling underlines the urgency for creating the cultural and political contexts, sensibilities, frameworks, or philosophies for social change. Thus, working within the system and by other means of reformist action, though laudable, are not enough. Both agree that each perspective of the radical ecology movement can help each other because their goals are ultimately the same. Foreman regrets his lack of knowledge, of the Leftist tradition, but admits that he never felt it to be relevant to America and that it took itself too seriously, often showing a humourless, dogmatic face. Book&n recognizes the Wt, especially Marxism, has never fully grasped the ecological aspect of the modern crisis. Support for big wilderness areas (the raison d’etre of Earth

First!), left alone for organic evolution to continue its proper role of increasing natural diversity and complexity, has always been one of his pleas. He hopes the Left will sup port conservation biology with more enthusiasm and erase its neglect - and its contempt - of nature in the past. In return, he urges the radical greens to learn more of the Left tradition, the best thoughts of the Enlightenment, and to be wary of the limitations of these ideas so that one can best unde=tand how to put into practice terms like decentralism and ecocommunity, “small is beautiful,” and eco- or soft-technology, and avoid moral insensitivities, racism, sexism, misanthropy, authoritarianism, and social illiteracy. These ecological terms are not intrinsically emancipatory, as Bookchin often cites feudal Europe as one society with many

ecologically-oriented structures such as a highly decentralized rural economy that was easily subjugated by hierarchical and oppressive social relationships. The closing essays that are the second part of Dejhdhg rhe Earth convey its major themes. Written one year after the debate, they let both men reaffirm their commitment to the radical ecology movement and provides a succinct summary of each’s philosophy. By openly discussing and listening to each’s provocative ideas and insights in a constructive and ultimately creative synthesis, Bookchin and Foreman show by example what can only help strengthen and expand the radical ecological agenda. Whether you agree with their convictions depends on whether you ultimately believe an environmental crisis can force people to change their ways. Learning Alliance director and founder, David Levine, says in the forward: ‘This book proves that there are creative opportunities within the radical ecology movement for building connections.. . of those who choose to stop.bulldozers in wilderness areas, who work to counter racism within the urban ecology of our cities, who develop alternative technologies, who directly challenge major environmental plunderers, who try to revive and strenghen the empowering institutions and processes of grassroots democracy, and encourage a deeper spiritual who understanding of the natural world and the human community.” For many this may sound too “Utopian.” ,But the reformist approach to environment&sm is at best a utilitarian mockery of social justice and at worst easily co-opted by the rulingelites (corporateand government), hiding the fact that capitalism is fundamentally de+ tructive to the environment and human welfare. The corporate media consistently ignore the work of the radical ecology movement and its attempts to foster a change in people’s cultural attitudes toward themselves, each other, and ultimately the natural world. Unity in diversity of opinions and ideas makes the radical ecological critique of the present order more substantial; it enjoins strong theoretical analysis with a healthy dose of vision, spiritualness, and importantly, the idea that a bit of humour goes a long way in preserving one’s humanity. Whether it is in building bridges to people of colour in the drug-ridden American inner-urban centres of the Third World, thus redressing the mainstream environmental movement’s neglect of racial issues, or in “greening the left and radicalizing the greens,” Dt-+&~~ rhc~ Eut~h is a must-read for anyone’ concerned with the environment or social justice.

In fact, in those twelve games, all of them have been wins, including the two that the Warriors played last weekend. Waterloo travelled to Guelph last night but results were not available by press-time. The team hosts the Brock Badgers on Sunday at 230 pm and hikes across Waterloo Park to Waterloo Arena next Thursday night at 7:30 pm for a once-meaningful game against Wilfrid Zaurier. The RMC Redmen showed up in Waterloo last Saturday and the result was predictable: 10-l in favour of the Warriors. The following day, the Windsor Lancers arrived for a rematch of the first game of the season for both teams and the Waniors first loss (of two).

The Warrior squash team is considering the prospect of its first ever OUAA championship after tying the University of Western Ontario 27-3 for fist place in a crossover toumament here last weekend. The Mustangs will host the teams finals next weekend (Jan. 31- Feb. 1). This, the second tournament of the squash season, featured teams from the western division (Waterloo, UWO, Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier, and McMaster) taking on ones from the east (Ryerson, Queen’s, McGill, Toronto, and York). Since this was the last tournament before the OUAA finals, each team was striving to accumulate as many points as possible. This Warrior team had a slightly different lineup compared with the fall team. Playing in the number-two position was Jeff Deverilb currently ranked number-13 in Ontario and a great addition to the team. At the number-six spot was long-time Warrior Bryan Allen, whose patience and error-free games provided the team with a strong base. Tyler Millard (no. l), Bruce Marrison (no. 3), Lee Marshall (no. 4), and Mike Zidar (no. 5) rounded out the

Missed opportunities contributed to a score not indicative of the play of the Warriors against the Windsor Lancers the n&t day. The game ended in over-time when clutch scorer Greg Allen potted his third game-winning goal of the season. The difference in this game was the

In his two Saturday matches, he won by a combined score of 54-0, and gave up only 29 points in all five tournament matches. The next four matches went according to plan for another 6-O victory.

According to McKee though, the Warriors should have gotten 22 goals instead of 10, had it not been for many missed opportunities. by the way, 22 goals just happens ta be how many goals the Ottawa Gee Gees scored on lowly Ryerson for a new OUAA record for most goals in a game.

team The mens’ first competition on Friday afternoon was from York The first five matches were won easily by the Warriors with each player scoring 3-O victories. Millard had a tougher match, but in the end won 3-l. Queen’s were the next scheduled opponents for the Warriors. Not letting the success of the first matches go to their heads, all the guys played aggressively and once again the team won 6-O. The University of Toronto was the final team to arrive at the PAC on Friday night. After a long day of squash, the team was hoping to get these matches over quickly, All went according to plan until Millard met the number-one player from Toronto. After a hard-fought match, Millard came out on the short end of a 3-2 decision. On Saturday morning, the Warriors would face their toughest competition of the tournament. Ryerson had two of the best players in the province playing at the number-one and two positions, respectively. Therefore it would be up to the lower end of the team to carry it through. Allen and Zidar both started things off with wins - Zidar did not give up one point in three games. Marshall and Man&on also won, so at worst

Troy Stephans had a career day with one goal and five assists for six whole points, helping him continue to inch up the OUAA scoring race (he now sits as the seventh highest scorer with 28 points). The Warriors’specialty teams had a stellar day, as they continue to capitalize on the power-play (three), and steal goals short-handed (one).

several opportunities that he normally would not have. Luckily for US fans that want to see the Warriors at their best, coach McKee has been spending quite a bit of time this week in practices with shooting drills, and handling the puck around the net, so improvement is forthcoming. Another improvement that would be nice to see - but is out of the hands of McKee - is the ranking of the teams in the country. Unfortunately, like some other governing bodies hailing from Ottawa, the CIAU ranking committee is screwed up. First of all, the Warriors are ranked fifth. A month and a half ago, we

were ranked number three in the country, when the winning streak was only eight games. Over the Christmas holidays, the Warriors lost two exhibition tournaments, one that wasn’t even in this country, and we were pushed down to fifth position, yet the two pre-season tournaments that we entered and subsequently won, had absolutely no bearing on our position in the standings. Plus, now that our winning streak is at 12, we are still only ranked fifth. Waterloo has also defeated the team currently ranked number-one, the UQTR Les Patriotes. The rankings may seem to be a little too trivial to warrant such an extensive look at the faults of the system, but when it comes to recruiting young high school and junior players for next year, the ranking system places Waterloo in an unrealistically lower position, which in turn makes our fine post-secondary institute less appealing to prospective players. Meanwhile, the Warriors will continue to prove that they are a superior team in an idiotic system until they win the CIAU championship and the people in Ottawa will be forced to rank us in our rightful position, num.

Complaining about officiating really is the most pathetic sporting whine there is, but after Wednesday night’s heartbreaking loss in the House of Cram, I’m going to do it anyway. After a catastrophic start left the Warriors trailing 16-2 nine minutes into the game, the Warriors dug deep and lost in a thrilling finish 77-73. That the Warriors came back was a near-miracle considering the utterly shitty refereeing. The crew, led by Guy Cipriani, put on a display of the most incompetent and uneven application of the rules that I’ve ever seen. Let’s see, they missed two offensive goaltends by Guelph, one defensive goaltend, two flagrant elbows by Tim Mau which turned into fouls on Waterloo, and endless chippy and cheap calls against Waterloo, while the Gryphons’ muggings went uncalled. In halves, Waterloo both accumulated twice as many personal fouls as Guelph while Guelph shot 25 more free throws than the Warriors (37 as opposed to 12). In any possible world, Guelph’s tough, physical style of play would seem rule that sort of stat out. Apparently not so in the

dream world that Mr. Cipriani and his associates inhabit. The game got off to an inauspicious start, with an early drought striking both teams. Guelph got on the board first with an Eric Hammond tip-in at the 18:X mark. Over the course of the next five minutes, the Gryphons built their margin to 11-O. Waterloo finally got onto the board when Al Urosevic hit a driving jumper in the key. Guelph continued to build the margin as Waterloo struggled to find open shots in the face of withering

Waterloo pressure. Gryphon narrowed the margin to 20-13, with a burst at the ten-minute mark with thrqe straight threes, two from VanKoughnett and one from Urosevic.

The Gr;Ths got the 2,000-plus at House of Slam rocking again with a late-half surge, building their margin to 37-24 at the half. Of that 24,

A 13-point halftime deficit made thoughts of victory seem remote, indeed. Despite a solid defensive effort, the Warriors seemed incapable of stopping the Gryphons inside muscle - especially Hammond, who pounded the Warrior post players. This trend continued into the second half, as Hammond, Tim Mau, and Brent Barnhart scored 11 of Guelph’s first 13 points. Trailing 50-36 with 15:02 remaining with no aspect of their game working, the Warriors were looking for some help. They found some of it in a match-up zone defence which gave the Gryphons headaches. The switching zone exposed a weakness of the Gryphon

- their lack

biggest

reason

for

the

Warriors’ comeback, though, was the scintillating play of Mike Duarte. “bruise,” getting more minutes than usual because of Alex Urosevic’s struggles and Vanoffensive Koughnett’s foul trouble, was a oneman gang. His savage defence was the catalyst for the Warriors, getting them the easy fastbreak buckets that they couldn’t get during the first half. Not only did he pick the pockets of the Guelph guards, but he turned the

second half into a savage, bloody nightmare for the Gryphon big men with aggressive double-teaming. That kind of defence is nothing new for Duarte - what was new was his three-point shooting, hitting 3for-4 in the second half as part of his

15 second-half points. He handled the ball well, penetrated and found the open man, and went a long way toward snapping out of the slump in which he.has been mired lately. Led by the heroics of Duarte, the Warriors went on a 14-6 tear over a four-minute

period,

four with 11 minutes left. The Gryphons resisted that push, though, and stretched the margin back to 11, 70-59, with five to go. Once again, Waterloo

and, playing their best defence of the game, rang off ten unanswered points to close to within a single point, 70-69, with 1:41 to play. The shoddy officiating and solid Gryphon free-throw shooting took over in the last two

mtiutes, robbing the Warriors of their chance to pull off another big upset. Final score 77-73. Along with Duarte, the Warriors got a big contribution from rapidly improving freshman Mark Hopkins, who scored a dozen points and showed remarkable composure in the face of a screaming, hostile mob. Sean VanKou&nett hit for 17, Al Urosevic was held to 11, and Dave Lynch and Pat Telford had six each. The Gryphons had three players in double figures led by point guard Humphrey Hill and Eric Hammond with 17 each. Their star rookie, Rich “Sleepy” Weslowski showed why he’s rated as the top freshman in the OUAA, hitting for 12 points, and playing a great defensive game while matched up against Urosevic and VanKoughnett. Four days earlier, the Warriors put together their best performance to date against the lowly Iaurier Golden Hawks. With another explosive offensive effort and some consistent intensity, Waterloo broke on top early, and cruised to a relatively trouble-free 103-87 victory. Once again, the Warriors were spearheaded by the twin guns of Sean VanKoughnett with 28 and Alex

Urosevic showed

of finding the signs aggressiveness in his offensive game. The entire story of the game can be read from the stats sheets - the Warriors shot 73 per cent (32-of-44)

from the field, and a solid 75 per cent (21-of-28) from the free throw line. The Warriors built a 13point haLftime lead, 57-44, then continued to pad their lead to a biggest margin of 22 midway through the second stanza. A letdown by the Waterloo secoid unit, who heard an earful from coach McCrae during a late timeout, allowed tha.Hawks to close the tnargiri toI% at the buzzer, 10387. Along with the ubiquitous VanKoughnett and Urosevic, three other Warrbxs hit for double figures, Chris Moore with 15, and Mike Duarte and Pat Telford with an even ten apiece. The Warriors next home action is next Wednesday night (Jan. 29) against the Windsor Lancers. Why not get off your butts and cheer the Warriors, who have established over the last week that they are capable of competing with the best teams in the ronference.

One week earlier, the team started off this streak with a trip to St. Catharines looking for their first win of the season, against four l&es. Throwiqg the odds out the window, the Athenas came up from behind the beat the OWIAA West division leading Brock Badgers 62-59. Following up on this first win, the Athenas then proceeded to score

their second win of the season against cross-street rival the Laurier Goldenhawks in a more convincing manner, 59-42. These wins move the Athenas out of the cellar in the West, placing then fifth out of eight teams. The Brock loss to Waterloo coupled with another loss to Western took the Badgers out of first phce and into third behind

Lakehead (4-O) and Western (5-U). Last week’s female athlete of the week Brenda Kraemer led the way against Brock with 20 points followed by the female athlete of the week from two weeks ago Leah Ann Erickson with 14 points and a team-leading eight rebounds.

throughout the game, it was fitting that the last basket of the game would win it. With three seconds remaining in the game and the Athenas down by one point, Kraemer drove to the net and was fouled by a Brock player. Kraemer went one-for-two at the free-throw line to tie the game. Then, though destined to be done, Kathy Wordham intercepted a pass at half court and made the long shot at the buzzer for three points in the game and two points in the standings, Needless to say that the win against ill

team like Brock got the Athenas ready to take on a less than average team like the Golden Hawks. January 18 was the date, and UW’s PAC was the venue for a fine display of women’s basketball. Erickson led the way for the scorers with 18, and rebounders with 9. Kraemer aIso had another great game, scoring 13 points and snatching 5 rebounds (both were secondbest for the team in the game).

Athena Voll~ybdl

Athenas back to 500 by Frank Se@enieks Imprint sports

The volleyball Athenas had an upand-down week, winning a close fivegame match against Brock and losing in three games to Guelph, to end up with a record of 4-4. As in my other article in this week’s Imprint, the people I reported on have recently lost a key member of their team - the Grievous Angels lost their lead singer (see the arts section for details) while the Athenas lost their lead setter.

Athenastook the first gameby a close score Last Thursday, the team travelled to St. Catharines to take on the Brock Badgers and pulled one out of the fire to come away with the tin. This was the first regular season game Waterloo played without their starting three-year veteran setter Katerina Englebrecht, who is out with an ankle injury. This means that rookies Karin Schmidt and Linda Ezergaihs are platooning into the setting position with second-year technique player Christine Harrison helping out.

thus getting down by a iot of points is a bad thing to do. Unfortunately this is exactly what Waterloo did letting Brock get up 11-5, but in a burst of momentum which has been their best this season, they took ten points while only allowing Brock to take two. This means that Waterloo Only allowed Brock to take two rallies while Waterloo won ten of them. The star of the game was Sue Bylsma with 20 kills and 15 digs. Nicky Cambell had 16 kills, Michelle VanVliet came in with 13, and Christine Harrison had 11. Carren Hall put on quite a defensive performance with 10 blocks and 9 digs. But, Waterloo could not play the same type of game this Wednesday losing a critical against Guelph, second game after which they were never again in the match. The scores in the games were 15-6, 16-14, and 15-1 in favour of Guelph. The Athenas got behind early in the first game by scores of 4-O and then 8-2. A few substitutions for Waterloo failed to turn the tide with the hard hitting Guelph team managing to shut down the Athenas. The Athenas got the score to 9-4, but Guelph never let the game get any closer taking it 15-6. The second game was the most of the match and was certainly the best. Waterloo came out strong going up 6-2 on some well executed hits, but Guelph then put on a hitting display of their own taking the next six points. to go up 8-6. critical

The Athenas took the first game by a close 17-15 score, while in the second game the margin was again two, Waterloo again winning, this time E-13. The Athenas then lulled the Badgers in a false sense of security, allowing them to take the next two games by scores of 15-7 and 15-l 1. In the final game of any match, a point is awarded after every side out,

Waterloo got the next point, after which the score stalled w&j-~ about six side outs and nobody taking a point. Both teams then scored a few until the game was knotted at nine, then at ten

apiece. Waterloo then played some solid volleyball to go up 13-11, with the 13th point coming on a rally of epic proportions during which both teams made some great saves. Waterloo went up 14-11 and wasted the first of the five game services they were to get this game. Guelph kept on coming one point closer, every time giving Waterloo the chance to end it, but the Athenas never managed to close the door. With the score tied at 14, Coach Dena Deglau put in Karin Schmidt for Linda EzergaiIis, but nothing the Athenas did could stop the Badgers who took the next two points to win the game 16-14.

jive gamepoints missed I think that the score of 15-1 says enough about the third game, so I won’t dwell on it. The only bright spot on the stat sheet was Sue Bylsma finishing the match with 21 kills. The loss and win this week means the Athenas record stands at 4-4 with two critical games against Lakehead this weekend. Waterloo will have to remember how they played against Brock if they want to be in playoff contention in the weeks to come. Coach Deglau said it best when she remarked that her team was “missing the flow” in the Guelph match. Waterloo has the ability to be a contender in this league - they just need to string together some solid play and some wins. The Lakehead Lady NorWesters are in town this weekend to take on our Athenas. The Friday game starts at 7 pm, while the Saturday game begins at 6 pm - hope to see you there.

Veteran middle hitter William “The Chief” Zabjek, supported by a boisterous “WillPower” fan club, followed close behind with 12 points on seven kills and five stuff blocks. The always dangerous sophomore setter Shawn “Sticks” Smith collected 11 points on five monster dumps, five stuffs, and an ace. Third-year powei hitter Jeff Stover “Pipe”, undoubtedly Waterloo’s star performer over the last two weeks, piled up nine points (all on kills} ._along with three digs. Back on Thursday, January 16, the Warriors extended their undefeated streak on the road to four games with a perfunctory 3-O romp over the Brock Badgers in St. Catharines. Game scoreswere 15-2,15-13,15-10. UW committed only 22 errors in that cakewalk. Truly the highlight of the match was the collection of comical plays courtesy of fourth-year power Mike “The Weasel” Fullerton in the latter half of game three. During a scramble at the net, Fullerton ended up on his keester behind two UW blockers; when the ball came back over the net, he just sat there on the floor, called the ball, and calmly bumped it to Smith. The incident sent the Plague bench players into hysterics.

MUENCHEN - Cruets Gott. urld gutes news Jahr aus Muenchm!! As I have returned to Germany, it is my pleasure to keep Imprint readers informed on what’s going on, particularly in arts and sports. While most of the stories will be slanted toward southern Germany, I’ll try to write about other happenings too. If you have comments or would like further information on a subject, I can be contacted through Imprint. This year’s IIHF World Junior ‘A‘ Championships were held in southern Germany, in the towns of Fuessen and Kaufbeuren, towns better know to North Americans for castles than anything else. Fuessen, a mountain town of 5,000, is nevertheless home to the German national development centre for ice hockey and has one of the nicest small arenas (capacity 2,000) I’ve ever seen. Its interior is bright and cheery, as it uses both fluorescent and natural Iighting. Hockey’s popularity in Germany fluctuates from city to city. The larger cities have a professional club, but ice hockey remains most popular in the south, where smaller towns take pride in their clubs reaching the Bun&s&a (First Division). A notable exception to this is Duesseldorf, which hosted the European Club Championships over the holidays. The host club reached the finals (a first for a German Club in 20 years) and 11,000 rowdy supporters packed the arena. Unfortunately, their opponents, Djurgardens Stockholm prevailed 7-2, with Moscow Dinamo capturing the bronze. Meanwhile, the Munich press did its best to ignore the World Juniors

with inbomplete score, game reports only when Germany played, and the next day matches given only for weekends and holidays. So, armed with as little information as possible, I took the two-hour train ride to Fuessen on January 2 with the hopes of seeing Canada playing the CSFR. Unfortunately, this game wasn’t until the evening; with trains ending at 9 pm, I had to watch an afternoon game instead. So, it was off to SwitzerlandFinland, Attendance was called 300, a liberal estimate, with the crowd mostly consisting of German Army troops, Canadan Forces members there for a day, and NHL scouts and ex-players (including the Esposito brothers and Darryl Sittler). The Swiss team interested me, as they given both Canada and USA fits, not to mention beating the Czechs. They had trouble against the Soviets and Swedes, but Finland would be a good test, particularly if they would be caught napping. After falling behind 2-0, the Swiss were able to rally with three goals in the last ten minutes of the second period. The last two were executed with the Swiss controlling the high slot. The second intermission probably saw the Finnish coach breaking a couple of sticks as his squad was much more motivated for the third period, scoring five consecutive times to make the score an anticipated 7-3. The game was typically European for its chippyness and creative refereeing. There were only about three ‘decent hits, although a North American defenceman would have salivated at some of the passes made through the neutral zone. I would cringe as a forward would bend almost backward to receive a pass, while a defenceman was content to stick check after it was taken.

The efforts of the Swiss in this tournament did not always show up in thtl standings, but will be enough to keep them in the big pond. With better cqmmunication and passing, and a willingness to shoot more on powerplays, they could have stung a few more teams+ Albertville will be difficult for thtl seniors, but they and the other fringe teams could cause real trouble for the particularly medal contenders, Canada and the US. After all, they treat playing us like we treated playing the Soviets back in the ’70s and the early ‘~OS, the golden age of international hockey. Speaking of the ‘Red Menace,’ they were told midway through the tournament to take their flag down and call themselves the Commonwealth of Independent States. Because no replacement flag could be found, the IIHF flag hung in place of the hammer and sickle, with the IIHF Hymn played after ia win. Any kid who followed the 1972 series (sorry frqsh!) should be saddened because >th USSR national anthem, with 0 Canada, was sung before thousands of road hockey games for years afterward. Where have you gone, Alexandr Yakushev! 10 Second Ticker: Sf~s (immense traffic jams on autobahns) in southern Germany reached humongous proportions over the holidays (one was 170 km long).

The Warrior and ming teams rounded

Athena swimout a bad week for the Brock University Badgers by sweeping a set of dual meets last Saturday. The men won 108-90 while the women won 116 100. Considering that several team members did not attend this meet and that Brock had their full contingent present, this ws a fantastic performance. The highlight of the meet occurred when German exchange student Ralf Gunther made the qualifying standard for the CIAU championships in the lOO-metre butterfly with time of 58.09 seconds, making the grade by 1/lOOth of a second. Gunther has had a great season, already making the Warrior all-time top-ten Iist and being named this week’s UW male athlete of the week. With continued work and effort, Gunther will make some outstanding contributions to the team in Ontarios, both in individual and relays events. The remaining members of the Warriors also swam well, lead by team veteran Mike Cash, who won the 400 freestyle after finishing a disappointing second in the 1,500 free. He then led the final 4-by-50 free relay to victory; also on the team were Gunther, hometown boy Ivan Hunt, and fifth-year senior Scott Whyte. Joining Cash in the victory column were rookie Rich Blakelock winning the breaststroke double (loo-200), Hunt in the 50 free, Bermudian Jason Krupp in the 200 fly, and the opening 4-by-100 medley relay of Blakelock, Krupp, and sophomore Andrew Cartwright. Swimming well and garnering points for the Warriors were freshman Sean Lashmar, upper-year senior Jeff Budau, and team leader David Dineen.

Leading the Athenas to victory was fourth-year senior Sheryl Slater. This former CIAU qualifier looks like she will make it again this year as she was three seconds off the qualifying time in the 800 free, a race that she won easily. Slater came back to complete a tough meet by winning the 200 fly and placing third in the ZOO back. Accompanying Slater in the 200 back was team co-captain T&h Felszegi who won the event and was also approaching the CIAU times.

Royal Rumble Report by Vie Traybor Imprint sports and Ken Kaitting

Rick Flair has become the new World Wrestling Federation champion in a boring fin&h to an otherwise exciting Royal Rumble last Sunday afternoon at Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, New York. After the first one hundred fighters three minutes, OdY remained: Flair, Sid Justice, and Hulk Hogan. While Flair just stood and watched, Justice hurled Hogan over the top rope with tremendous ease. The frustrated Hulkster began arguing with Justice. Hogan extended his right arm over the top rope and the dumb-dumb went for it. Needless to say, Hogan dragged Justice over the top rope and the untouched Flair, being the only remaining survivor Here

was declared WWF champion. Boring finish! The event included 30, of the biggest, roughest, and toughest wrestlers on the WWF roster. A standard rumble begins with two wrestlers and another wrestler enters the ring every two minutes until all the participants have entered. From the start, any wrestler who is thrown over the top rope by another wrestler(s) and lands on the arena floor is eliminated. Flair was the third wrestler to enter the ring and fought off 27 opponents in an exhausting 1 hour, 15 minute effort (approximately) to win The Royal Rumble. In the process, Flair broke the WWF Royal Rumble survival time record of 5234 set by ‘The Model” Rick Martel in last year’s event. Notable highlights from’ the rumble included Randy “Macho Man” Savage’s revengeful elimination of slimy Jake “The Snake”Roberts.

It was the most people 1 have ever seen in the Commercial, which is incidentally a great place to see a concert even if it takes 15 minutes to drive there. The band showed that they had more that enough material to release another album, but as mentioned throughout the show, they have been having some money problems with their record company which is the major stumbling block in the way of their next release. First off, a bit of background on the band: they have been together for around four years and have released two albums, the first ;li,lrt~ l~r &rrlg on their own Boot records label the second 01~ JOIT TOHW released by Stonv Plain. They have a country-folk sort &f sound like what you might hear if you went to a barn-dance on the east coast. As it turns out, both of my stories in this week’s Imprint are related - the Athena Volleyball team may appear tcj have no relevance to a review of a band, but in one way there is quite a connection. The Athenas have recently lost one of their players to injury who was an integral part of their team as she was involved in almost every play (see the sports section for the whole story). We11 last year, Michelle Rumball, the female lead singer of the Angels had some vocal problems and as a realt had to leave the band, this was quite a loss as she had the lead vocals on most of their recorded materiai.

the stage into the dancers and then onto a not very sturdy looking table all the while playing his guitar. For their first encore they played an upbeat version of “Amazing Grace,” dedicated to the owner of the Commercial who had recently been in a car crash, during which Laine was joined on stage by another lady whom she used to work with under the name “the Byrd Sisters.” Even the house music coming back on didn’t stop the audience frop

Arts/Film

New World Man by Michael Clifton Imprint staff Mythic fantasy epics always attract some of the people. Spielberg’s adventurous rewrite of Peter Pan, Hook, has failed to attract many, but on the whole it seems to this reviewer to be one of the finest, more mature adaptations of a fairy story since Sondheim’s htto thu Wads. The commentary floating around that Hook mainly intends to tell fathers to spend more time with their children simply misses the movie’s most important mark. That intention is merely a side effect of the new attitudes Spielberg has learned and is attempting to share through the story. The choice of title alone reflects Spielberg’s new attitude toward the Peter Pan story: it’s not a story a bout a boy that doesn’t want to grow up, but about a man who grew up too much. Hook, the character, is the epitome of the man, or adult generally, who thinks and believes too much about himself - who takes himself too seriously. He is Peter Pan’s foil and shadow. In 1.M. Barrie’s original story, Peter is introduced as a boy who is trying to subdue his shadow. The motherfigure, Wendy, helps him to tie, or

rather to sew, it back into himself, but without the benefits of real integration. The same shadow character is reified later as Captain Hook, who kidnaps Wendy, much as Peter’s budding adulthood willed to steal from him the simple securities of childhood. By stealing Peter’s children in the movie, Hook continues his effort to withold any vestige of his innocence and wonder. His plan backfires, and Peter is finally restored as a fully integrated human being. Although Spielberg’s version of Barrie’s tale as it might have unfolded makes no special effort to point aut the interpretation of Hook as Peter’s alter-ego, finally running the show to excess in Never-land, and seeking to eradicate once and for al1 the child and innocence of his conscious counterpart, the final moral it seems bent

BnYaon advises vou to

on producing is the idea that life, wholistically, including child and adult qualities and experiences, is “the real adventure.” It is Spielberg’s private philosophy, perhaps more clearly expressed in Hook than in any of his previous films. The most touching effect in the movie is that Spielberg preserves the integrity of Barrie’s story as real: it is not a dream-sequence, and is not despite this writer’s amateur analysis above - a primarily psychological tale. Each character is an individual, not merely an aspect of the main character’s psyche. Thus, when in Barrie’s original, Wendy decided she had to leave Never-land, it was an external challenge to the character, Peter Pan, as well as symbolically internal. Likewise, the parade of characters in Hook each have their own lives to lead, in which every

Imprint, Friday, January 24, 1992

other character may also play a real and a symbolic, or psychic, role. As far as the movie itself is concerned, it was technically superb, beautifully filmed, and skillfully acted. It is the first movie for a long time that competently fills the screen with colourful, and discernible, action. The war scenes leading up to the final episodes smack both of the swashbuckling epics of yesteryear, and the not-quite-asold kids’ movie, BugsL’ (remember, with Scott Baio before his voice changed? nobody else at Imprint does), but better. Robin Williams, as Peter Pan, is.his typical self. He acts, he laughs, he flies. If it wasn’t that we’ve seen him do the same so well before in so many other movies and television shows, we should have no difficulty in believing him in this one. There is nothing to discredit in his performance, however, and it is hard to imagine any other actor of the present who could have come cIose to him attempting to do the same role. He is the perfect realization of Speilberg’s dreaming. Dust-in Hoffman (Hook) and Bob Hoskins {Hook’s sidekick Smeed) have to be recommended together, even though it is Hoffman, as the biggest name on the screen, who gets the higher ranking in the credits. Between the two of them they captured, even epitomized, the ideal villain and his wicked apprentice or comic-relief

from so many pantomimes and operettas of the (especially) British comic tradition. For Hoffman’s audiences this )erformance was a reminder, after it is phying so many serious roles, that he is, in fact, one of the greatest character actors of this century. Julia Roberts as TinkerbeIl was not what some critics seemed to have hoped for, but was hardly the downer that many of them have made her out to be. In fact, Roberts did a good job of playing precisely who and what Tinkerbell was, or is. Especially, she portrayed, without its being overtly obvious from the script alone, the tragic love story that is Tinkerbell’s. If anything it was the script that robbed Roberts of some opportunities to make more of her role. To a great extent Spielberg seems to have been content to have used her presence to titillate little children (with her fairylike qualities), and respond to the other, unspeakable requirement for success of any good book or movie these days. Hook may not be the movie to steal away all the awards this year, but the biggest surprise is that it has not stolen away as many hearts as it seems capable of doing. Perhaps the problem is that too many of us need to know its message, but are too wrapped up in ourselves to notice or appreciate it.

Exit stage left As cops, they live on the edge. Buying drugs from dealers, trying to build a case against the region’s numberone bad boy, they are in constant danger of being discovered and killed. But as renegade officers of justice, they face the fear of prosecution by the system they’re sworn to uphold. In this decade of zero tolerance, thenew prohibition, drugs are as bad as bad can be. They are the epitome of evil in our culture. Yet director Fini Znnuck has turned out a movie about this consummate evil, drugs, into a moral highwire act. By attempting to show us just how much of the equation of drugs as evil is simply public policy propaganda, Zanuck has made a highly moral film. And a sadly tangled web of ambiguity.

Morrisonesque

Memoirs

by Michael Bryson Imprint staff For Hunter S. We were halfway through the opening credits when the drugs began to take effect. I remember saying something like “I have essays; I don’t have time for this. . . -“And suddenly there was a scream and a flash all around us and Gregg Allman strutted through a mid-70s roadhouse, full of yer regular midwest white trash, which aren’t the best people on the planet but aren’t necessarily the least angelic either. And a voice was screaming: “Jim Morrison! There ain’t nothing on the other side.” Then it was quiet again. My date had finished off her popcorn and was

searching through her purse for the vodka, to encourage an appreciation of the film. “What are you going on about now?” she mumbled, opening u the mickey and refilling her Coke. TK is process would go on all night. “Nothing” I said. “Just making notes for my review.” I stared at my notepad and tried to scribble something about fear and loathing, moral ambiguity and the death, of the American Dream, but I had no luck. All I could think about was Morrison died, too. Augh! What a disappointing film. And irritating. Drug films should be fun. Rush is simply perverse. Two narcotics officers, Jason Patrick and Jennifer Jason Leigh, start siphoning highs from their stash of chemicals. On the side of the law, their job is to bust criminals. As junkies, they descend into seEdestruction and paranoia, bruised people in a hellish reality.

I’m hoping the Kim Wozencraft novel fiuL~h is based on is more complete. And balanced. Jennifer Jason Leigh is fantastic as Jason Patrick’s girlfriend/partner, easily the best performance in the film and perhaps its only saving grace. But Patrick’s stab at Morrisonesque Dionysian rites is merely credible. And terribly predictable. The other characters don’t even exist. The police chief and the staff sergeant are cardboard and the drug dealers are straight stereotype. Everything interesting in the film takes place between the narcs. Leigh and Patrick foster a studentteacher relationship e&y in the fihn, which slowly turns over as Patrick sinks into addiction tid Leigh struggles to maintain the purpose of their lie in exile. The gender politics of this situation again are predictable, if not scary. And made me think of William S. Burroughs drugging up his wife and blowing off her head in a tragic game of William TeIl. The number of times the line between right and wrong gets crossed in this film is dizz*g. Whether anyone manages to break on through to the other side is hard to tell. One lowlife’s suicide seems particularly noble. And the peculiar ending of the film opens up at least a couple more possible interpretations. All in all, the con-

cept of justice gets lost in the attempt to build a plot around but two struggling, interesting characters. Not worth seeing. Wait for the video.

Which is kinda the way things are going these days. That’s what my date said when we left the theatre. “Not much there, is there?““No.““No substance.” “No.” “A lot like liie, eh?”

by Julia Farquhar special to Imprint I’ve gotta get this Holly Cole review off my chest, if only to stretch at least one of my New Year’s Resolutions - the one about procrastination, ya know - into February. Let’s not talk about how long I’ve been putting this off. By now, you might be wondering why I’d be putting off making this currently Imprint-owned cassette a permanent part of my collection. No, it’s not because I don’t like it. And no, it’s not because I’ve already bought the CD. The problem, as I see it, is that

by Vincent Kozma Imprint staff Is it any coincidence that “K” and “A”, King Apparatus’ two initials, make up more than 60 percent of the word “SKA”? Is it just another coincidence that the letter “S” can stand for such words as splendid, stupendous, solidifying, soul-reaching and scrumptious? Any way you look at it, is it any wonder that King Apparatus makes up a healthy yortion of SKA?

Blame It On My Youth defies description. It’s too perfect

for WOKiS.

Those were my very words back in when I saw King September Apparatus at The Twist. It was a great show, needless to say. During a break in the show, I picked up a copy of the group’s independent release bud Pnr~. It had five original songs as well as a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Fire.“It was nice but was a bit of a letdown. There just was not enough on the tape - no sooner had you put it in, you had to flip the tape. That is not the case now. With the release of Kirlg App~trtus, the first big release by the group, one now has the opportunity to hear the bad for well over 45 minutes. The 17-song self-titled retease follows a CASBY award the band won in December. The tracks include one of the bands most popular songs to date Made For TV.,, Other tracks that I have space to mention (they are all worth mentioning) are: “Nonstop Drinking,” “Five Good Reasons,” “Hospital Waiting Room,”

The Trio’s second release is more sophisticated, more daring, and, well,

and “I Feel No Pain.” They al1 have that prominent Ska flavour to them and yet are still unique enough to hold there own as individual songs, They have a punchy beat that makes you want to bounce of the walls like a Super-ball in a very small squash court. While Ska is not as big as it used to be in the late ’70s and early “80s’ there is still a place for King Apparatus. Like Harry Connick, they play a brand of music that, while not being mainstream, can do a good job creating a demand for itself. What they do they do well enough to get people interested in something they otherwise would be interested in. King Apparatus was formed about four years ago in London, Ontario. The video “Made For TV” is in rotation at Much Music. You can hear them on such stations as CKMS and CFNY. I would expect to hear rhem more often in the summer however.

Just as Girl Talk showcased songs by everyone from Hank Williams to George and Ira Gershwin, Blame it On My Youth pulls from a veritable tic-

kle trunk of :musical sources and influences: Walt Disney’s 7724Jungle Book, Percy Adlon’s Baghdad Cafe, and Tom Waits’ archives of unrecorded material, to name a few. Speaking of Baghdad Cafi, Cole’s own contribution to “Calling You,” its theme, is unquestionably her most thrilling, spine-tingling recording of all times. She displays absolute control, soaring to hit a high note, then backing away almost instantly. Look forward to hearing this one performed live. Speaking of live performances, perhaps I should mention that the Trio will be making a rare area appearance at Waterloo’s very own Humanities Theatre next week. Do NOT let yourself miss it. In spite of its inherent tendencies toward melancholia, Blame it on My Youth is beautifully crafted and constructed. Each piece is a masterpiece in itself, and choosing one “favourite” is difficult work indeed. How’s that for a justification of procrastination? Who invented the New Year’s Resolution anyway?

Allstars. Chris Murray (vocalist) and Mitch Girio (bassest) have done a good job producing this album. Its spunky, driving and Ska-ie. For one

reason or another its somewhat cheaper than other albums and that’s a11the more reason you should pick it up.

provides only one paragraph of information on each speech. So, both MarLuthur King’s 36-minute tin “Address to Civil Rights Marchers” 18-second and Lou . Gehrig’s “Farewell to Baseball,’ are given equal “textual support.” Within this obvious incongruit)l lies the package’s essential problem: much of what is presented here is quite valid and interesting: Nixon. Ollie North, MLK, Malcolm X, Kennedy - all represent themselves a2 dynamic figures (Nixon in particular, is featured 8 times toMing over 5C minutes) yet are these speeches truly “great” and, without extensive accompanying information, is this collection much more than amusing static? The original resonance of quite a few of the speeches has held up surprisingly well, delivering the electric emotional intensity of the times from which they were culled. Some though, while certainly historic, aren’t interesting at all: dull mon-

bate the matter. There is simply a blurred boundary between the truly great parts of this collection and those included due to aeb “importances’ You can’t compare Eisenhower’s “Farewell Address,,’ Nixon’s “Checkers” speech and North’s “IranContra Testimony” with Len Spencer’s “Edison Phonograph Promotional Message” or B&e Ruth’s “Farewell To Baseball.”

more grown-up than Girl Talk. Gone is much of the first album’s frivolity and playfulness; it’s been replaced with integrity, intensity, and passion. Some (including Imprint’s own P. George Brown) might argue that that passion delves too much into the melancholy and mournful, as in the Trio’s haunting rendition of “The Street Where you Live.” Yet, their trademark ability to transform such an innocent, whistle-while-you-walk, little ditty into such a powerful, howling lament makes-the album consistently fascinating. Also fascinating is the album’s complex mix of tempo, technique, and talent. Blame It On M-v Youth features Holly Cole, Aaron Davis, and David Piltch at their finest, constantly complementing one another, as in “Honeysuckle Rose” and “I11 be Seeing You.”

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff I love the Buzzcocks. Not personalty, I hardly know them, and not really, love them, love them, but if they had been born as a cat or something I’d take really good care of it and always remember to feed it and never yell at it even when it tore up my loveseat. Perhaps it’s the Holden Caulfield lyrics, or the eardrum buzz guihars, but every album, because it was primarily a singles collection, contains no filler and nothing that would cause you to reach for the ff/rev button on your stereo. Mind you, this obviously meant no SergeantPepper-theme-type albums but I always thought that idea was kind of crappy a The Buzzcocks aren’t easy to find, most stores don’t carry a &hole lot other than spiral scratch and very few bands really deserve the kind of audience the Buzicocks do. Well now, IRS has commendably acquired the Buzzcocks back catalogue and

released Operators Manual a rather lengthy (78-minute) CD retrospective - a little market priming for the new Buzzcocks album. First the bad news. ‘Boredom,” “Mad Mad Judy,” and “Why Can’t I Touch it” didn’t make it on to the collection. Of the three not included, “Boredom” is the greatest atrocity. S;ace the song was on “Singles Going Steady,” I can’t really -forgive IRS for botching that up. The good news, however is that I really can’t imagine what I’d take off to find room for “Boredom.” Every single track is essential for a

Like her musical colleague Rick Astley, Britain’s JuIia F&&am has a voice that people would mistake for a black person. And like Astley, she is not. Sounding like Anita Baker, Julia Fordham is releasing her third album called Swept. This is not the first album for this singer songwriter, she already has two previous releases under her belt. A seff-titled album was released in 1988, and the other one, released in 1990 was called pbrcezuin.

Buzzcocks overview. Wrgasm Addict,“? BeIieve,““Harmony in My Head,“ “Everybody’s *aPPY Nowaddys,” and “Nostalgia” just have to be there, so I don’t know what I would take off. The funny thing is, of course, that the CD has 23 tracks on it. I suppose if Lucifer were threatening me, I’d take off “Fiction Romance” but I’d probably rather expand it to a twodisc collection if I had the choice. Overall an absolutely brilliant collection from an absolutely brilliant band, If you don’t have the time to hunt down their three albums, this is the next best thing.

Unlike Astley, though, Fordham composes her own music and lyrics, quite an accomplishment for someone so young. The songs display a polished sense of poise, honesty, and maturity and mainly chronicle joy

and pain, love and longing with emotional powm. Her voici is-strong and rich yet sweet and serene and the music accentuates her voice and is soft. Don’t get me wrong - this is hardly elevator music. It’s soothing and romantic music that has the same calming effect as a cup of tea on a cold and miserable dlay. The most popular song on the tape is entitled “Mysterious Ways,” and this ballad was featured as the closing love theme for the movie me Butcher? lK$2. Fordham has been writing music since she was in her early teens and for someone still in her success is her earIy 20s impressive. EspeciaIIy considering the number of successful female solo songwriters as young as her. What is most impressive about the album besides that fact, is her incredible voice that displays a remarkable vocal capacity. She seems to put so much of herself in her singing and thereby makes herself vulnerable. Her music is not innovative or especially different but the presentation of it is.

I suppose that says more about my (dis)ability to review these guys, but nobody else plays non-AOR lyricless rock that I know of.

I love the Shadowy Men. Not as much as I love the Buzzcocks, but I love the Shadowy Men personally on account of I met them. I don’t know if it’s the lack of lyrics or the twangy woosh of the guitars, but there’s something about them that makes me feel good like I just drunk some Ovaltine. This is actually the Shadowy Men’s first real album becauase their previous record was a collection of seven inches. So if you know what the Shadowy Men sound like, here’s some more of the same.

For a change, there are some lyrics, well “Five American, six Canadian” to be exact. It’s the Shadowy guys’

Like a hail of bullets from a passing car, J. G. Thirlwell aka Clint Ruin aka Foetus, lets loose his instrumental choir of cacaphony. Steroid Maximus features the multi-faceted talents of Lucy Hamilton, Hahn Rowe, L,in Culbertson, Away, and Raymond Watts, better known as PIG. Maximus picks up where last years Garage Monsters single left off; deft

While nothing is as sublime as ‘8% “Butterfly Potion” or as raging as “Free James Brown (so he can run me down)” from the same release, one can hear a excavation of some of the lizard-like lounge-jazz textures of “Descent Into The 1nferno”from Nail, or “Bedrock” from the EP of the same title.

This is only the second album he’s ever put out under the Wiseblood label, the previous (and obviously, first) release entitled Dirtdish having come out in 1988. Rosi Mosimann is also a Wiseblood participant, credited with recording and engineering as well as collaborating with Ruin on the music.

Pleasantries aside; the real prOblem here is the absence of Foetus’ best instrument: his voice. Likewise, the greatest percussive power comes from his ability as a lyricist, of which he has no peer: “I’m a one-man gangbang” “A woman’s place is on mah face,““I rule my body from the throne of agony.” At its best, as on “OGRO,” Maximus only begins to approach the divinity of “Theme from Pigswill,” an instrumental piece onNail, or tighten the thumbscrews so twisted already at. “Salans Place” from Hole.

“Hey Bop a Ree Bop” inches along for nearly ten minutes, with Ruin uttering guttural moans to a barely discernible rhythm. The album closes out with “Grease Nipples,” another upbeat tune that has the same orchestral or symphonic nature and rhythm as “PTTM.” Actually, this album could be viewed as a four-act play. All four tracks have consistent threads tying them together, yet each is varied and outstanding enough to be discernibly different from the next. I say this because Dirtdish was somewhat closer to (yet far from) attaining the “second song sounds a lot like the first” effect. This is one of the threads that ties Dirtdish to m - care is taken to be familiar yet noticeably different. If you’ve never heard of this band, you should buy it just to raise yourself out of the ‘XLF uh-huh &huh” mire. Which reminds me.. I wonder who the aesthetic terrorist really is. . . l

Is JFK a convincing argument that John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s assassination was the result of a conspiracy? Yes, as much as a fiction feature can convince us - we remain aware that short-cuts and shaky connections may have been made. But is JFK a good movie? This is where we sigh, and grit our teeth, and accept that p&id integrity and artistic integrity are not the same thing. Of course Kennedy’s death is more than just a tabloid story; of course we need to challenge official versions of the truth (always). It’s just that important subject matter is the beginning not the end. The hard part, the skill, is in the handling. JFK isn’t really a film at all so much as it is a bloated monster. It’s three hours of 7k Liva of Quincy J&m, or, more significantly, it’s three hours of the Odessa Steps sequence from Buttreship htemkin. Oliver Stone pretends he’s making us think by hurling huge images and overpowering sounds at us; his technique here is the equivalent of police turning waterhoses on protesters. Whether or not what Stone and co-writer Zachary Sklar are saying is true, it’s said as if it were propaganda. How could we fail to be convinced, at least emotionally? You see, there’s no reason to see JFK instead of reading the books

nedy. Stone, who usually engages in traditional storytelling even when we don’t want him to, this time around neglects story, characters, and scope, Kevin Costner, it is too frequently overlooked, is not one of America’s finest actors. He seems less uncomfortable in this film than he did in Rubin Hood or Dances with Wolves, but his task isn’t too terribIy difficult: as Garrison, the vigilante district

attorney confronting the establishment, he has to follow clues and be a virtuous person. That’s about it. Sissy Spacek, who is one of America’s finest actors, has the thin role of Wife. She resents Garrison’s obsession with the case, then is finally won over and becomes supportive. Stone’s attempts to create people in between the detective work stays at this prosaic level. A number of cameos spice things up: Kevin Bacon, Ed Asner, Tommy Lee Jones, Jack Lemmon, Donald Sutheiland {his scene with Costner MS the movie, but if you’ve seen the trailer you’ve already got the gist of it), and Gary OIdman, who is on the edges of things, intriguing us as Lee Harvey Oswald. This is a film with a cast of thousands, as Stone blends his own re-creations of events with newsreel footage. But the closest Stone comes to actually dealing with the ramifications of his topic are in the depressions and conflicts within Garrison’s research team, (played by Michael Rooker, Jay 0. Sanders, and Roseanne’s Laurie Metcalf) and these are only touched on briefly. What does discovering your government is corrupt do to a person? Garrison gives a long, long, long (have I mentioned it was long?) summation speech in court and gets teary - but this is a cop-out, besides being a steal from Mr. Smith 6~s to Washiflglon. Ultimatei:y, Stone’s approach is very limited. and literal Was there or wasn’t there a cover-up? That seems to be his only question. If the film promotes any dleeper analysis or discussion, it’s through omission.
