The Federation of Students have decided to enter into a business contract with Metrowide Inc, endorsing that company’s long distance phone discounts. While students that sign on with Metrowide will receive discounts on their long distance billing, the Feds will also receive a small percentage of Metrowide’s profits, which they intend to earmark for either bursaries or the endowment fund for student life projects. With the increasing market activity surrounding the sale of long distance hours by various small corporations, the Feds felt that signing a deal with Metrowide would open up the UW market to that company as well as benefit students through the kickbacks received. “We wanted a chunk of that business for our students and we wanted to offer students a deal,” said Fed President Catherine Coleman. The Feds also wanted to ensure_that if students were to sign up with a company, that they would get a decent deal, she said. Metrowide is the best company on the market currently, according to Coleman. While the Feds are endorsing Metrowide, they cannot offer security to students should they have problems with their service. The contracts students sign with Metrowide will be between them and Metrowide alone, said Coleman. According to Fed General Manager Bob Sproule, if significant nutnbers df students were to encounter a problem with the service, the Feds would inquire with Metrowide regarding the problems, but could do little else other than stop actively endorsing Metrowide. The Feds are planning to enter into a one year contract with Metrowide, which they would be bound to even if problems were to arise. At a Fed Board of Directors meeting last Monday Coleman stressed that the long distance market is opening up and the Feds should

act now in order to take advantage of that. She also noted that the Wilfrid Laurier University Student’s Union (WLUSU) has contracted with another company to offer their students savings as well. Under WLU’s contract, they can sign up any individual regardless of whether they are a WLU or UW student, according to WLUSU’s GM Tim Hranka. Coleman stated later, however, that the Feds are not looking for competition with WLU, rather, they felt that the Metrowide offer was a better deal for students. Under the deal, student’s would have the option of choosing between a flat rate, unlimited long distance calling area, or a percentage off all long distance calls made, on top of the current Bell Canada discount hours. “What we’ve secured [with Metrowide] is better [than what WLU student’s receive],” said Coleman. The Feds have been considering the long distance discount business since August, when they were approached by a different company. At the time, the representative for that company and for Metrowide was then Arts Regular student’s councillor and Media Relations Commissioner jason Sack. Sack resigned as commissioner .at that time but remained as student’s councillor until the end of August, at which time he decided against returning to school and forfeited his seat. Sack is not currently filling any capacity within the Feds, “because that would be a conflict of interest,” he said. The Feds decided to go with Metrowide after researching several companies, including the one contracting with WLUSU.. While it is not yet decided exactly where the monies gained will end up, the Feds will receive a percentage of profits from both the discount and flat rate plans. Student’s council will decide later what the money will be used for.

Feds jump the gun over Metrowide? bg Ken Bryson Imprint stc@ While planning to enter into a contract with Metrowide Inc. to sell long distance phone discount sewices to students, the Federation of Students allowed their name to be used by Metrowide before the Fed board of directors met to discuss the deal. At a Board meeting last Monday, October 4, Fed President Catherine Coleman and general manager Bob Sproule presented the proposed deal with Metrowide for approval. However, Metrowide had
already advertised the unapproved deal on two occasions on campus. In the last issue of Imprint, Metrowide bought a half page ad which included the Fed logo. Also, on September 28, Metrowide represenmtive Jason Sack posted an advertisement to the computer newsgroup uw.general mentioning the Feds as partners. Accordingto Sack, hewasgiven permission by the Fed executive t6 us the logo as long ago as September 15. When asked about the situation, President Coleman noted that there was a tentative agreement be-
tween the Feds and Metrowide and that the board of directors were not placed under pressure to approve the deal at the meeting. While the directors did approve

Anti-Porn coalition gears for ribbon campaign by Andrew Oteksiw specid to Imprint On Monday October 4, the Royal City Coalition Against Pornography held an information meeting at E. L Fox hall in Cuelph. This event was in anticipation of WRAP (White Ribbons Agains Pornography) week which will take place nationally from October 24 to 3 I. Detective Austin Ferguson of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force spoke to approximately I50 people about his work with Project P, Canada’s only pornography vice squad. Ferguson estimated the North American pornography industry to be worth $ I5 billion annually. The line between legal and illegal pornography is ambiguous and hinges on a definition of “obscene” drawn by Community Standard of Tolerance guidelines which makes prosecution of

Campbell Government Announces Education Initiatives by Angelu Mulholltmd specia2 to Imprint The Conservative government is eager to make the electorate aware of Kim Campbell’s initiatives to improve education in Canada. Last week it released a copy of a speech the Prime Minister made in Kitchener on August 16, that describes her specific proposals. Her speech outlined seven initiatives that Campbell claims will put taxpayers’ money to better use. Some of these ideas appear refreshingly simple while others are confusing and vague. Campbell insi- that the answer to Canada’s educational problems is not more tax money rather, spending it more efficiently than it has been in the past In fact, she reported that Canada’s governments already spend more per capita on education and training than virtually any other industrial country, approximately $55 billion a year. The most important of these proposals is reform to the Canada Student Loans Program. The program has not been significantly altered since 1964. While the cost of living has risen 30 percent in the last five years alone, the loan limits have not changed. Today the limit currently stands at $3500; Campbell proposes to raise it to $5 100. Without getting into specifics, Campbell said she also intends to develop a “new financing structure’* to make paying back loans easier and more efficient. Defaults, she says, have “reached chronic proportions”: there is currently over $ I billion in defaulted loans. The onus of education and training should not fall on governments alone, affirms Campbell. Canadian business must do their share too. While Canadian governments spend two and a half times what Americans do to train workers, it is estimated that Canadian businesses spend only half as much as American companies on training, and only one-fifth the amount of the japanese.

by Andrew Pape speda to Xmprint Ernie Regehr from the Peace and Conflict Studies Department of Conrad Grebel College spoke to students last weekon the future of Canadian defense policy in a post-Cold War era. The lecture was a part of the “Bridging the Gap” weekly series focusing on contemporary issues in engineering. Regehr is a peace researcher and activist. lie has published several materials, including a book “Arms Canada - The Deadly Business of Military Exports” (I 987), which looks at the Canadian defence and export policies, how they contribute to the global military-industrial complex, and how those policies influence the wcial, economic, and political spheres of Canada and other countries around the world. Right now in the post-Cold War era the majority of violent conflicts in the world centre around the, “inability of nation-states to meet the needs of their people”. With some notable exceptions,
there are few conflicts today that affect nation-states other than where the conflict is occurring. Foreign intervention is rarely effective in these situations, unless an agreement has been already made between conflicting parties and an international United Nations (UN.) Peace Keeping Operation (P. K-0.) is brought into place, said Regehr. There are few situations where intervention is possible. The P.K.O. in Cambodia was considered successful because the operation followed a peace accord and facilitated an effective election process. The situation in Somalia, however, has been anything but successful in helping to develop long-term peace however, many lives have been saved because the presence of the UN. personnel. International military intervention in world-wide conflicts is generally ineffective due to the present defence policies of many countries, consideration of alternatives should be addressed, said Regehr. UN. Secretary General Boutros
Boutros-Chali has frequently spoken about the. concept of “Peace Building”, which involves creating the conditions for peace in a pro-active manner to avoid potential areas of conflict. An example of this in Canada would be promoting the negotiations of native land claims for Canada’s Indigenous Peoples to avoid any future conflicts similar to the one in Oka, Quebec several years agoRegehr spoke briefly on “Peace Building”, and how we should consider adopting it into our foreign and defence policies at this opportune moment in history where many multi-national conflicts are coming to an end. As society is changing so rapidly in this decade, it is difficult to make conclusions on how “Peace Building” can be achieved, although there are some policy aspects that are directly related to this issue. .In Canada, our defence policy is related to “Peace Building”, as we are the most active country in U.N. Peace Keeping Operations worldwide. A large percentage of our resources goes towards that participation. In Canada,
about 2% of our GNP ($12.3 billion) goes towards defence, yet deficit cl imination is a national priority, and many government budgets are being cut significantly. Up to now, defence has largely been sheltered from significant spending cuts, while many other foreign affairs departments are affected. A notable example of this is our Official Development Assistance (ODA) pro-
After a year and a hhlf of a lack of trained physicians willing to perform abortions in the Kitchener-Waterloo ai-ea, women will now have access to therapeutic abortions at the K-W hospital. The decision to resume performingthe controversial procedure comes as a result of pressure from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said Annie Cote-Kennedy, spokeswoman for KW Hospital. Pro-life groups are disappointed and saddened by the hospital’s decision to carry out abortion services in the KW area, while Pro-choice groups are pleased. Right to life activists are nevertheless disturbed that abortions will once again be offered in the Waterloo region. The Christian Heritage Parties

Planned Parenthood, a pro-choice organization, considers al t options available to women including abortion, adoption and the choice to become a parent are happy with that the services will be offered. “Women were having to leave town [to have an abortion] and there were large costs in terms of transportation,” remarked Planned Parenthood counselling co-ordinator lngrid Belt. “What is important, is that this is a legal health care service for women and it is important that they may be able to obtain that service within their own community setting,” said Bell.

In northern Mali by contrast, there is a violent conflict between the Taureg people and the Government, It is main3y over ethnic differences, but not unrklated to the environmental degradation of traditional Taureg lands in the Sahara desert. This forces them to move south into the more populated areas of Mali as refugees. Meanwhile, it can be argued that Canada is wasting money on Peace Keeping Operations in Bosnia and Somalia. Addressing the “Peace Building” issue can have. significant economic benefits for Canada. Canada must consider the concept of “Peace Building” in our foreign policies, because the Cold War deadlock of the last three decades has finally broken, and there is less justification for maintaining defence and military budgets in their present form. Traditional international military intervention is being proven ineffective in conflict situations that are largely internal within nation-states such as SomaKa and Bosnia, said Regehr.

Many are built on a strong volunteer foundation. The ODA budget has decreased from 0.44 per cent of our GNP to approximately 0.35 per cent of GNP in the last year, and there are indications that further cuts will take place. It may be time to look at the benefits of the work of many Canadians here and abroad through ODA programs, and how the work of them and their foreign development partners promotesglobal development and “Peace Building”. For example, the work of many Canadian and foreign volunteers in parts of West Africa has helped to avoid famine conditions near the Sahara desert, where resources are scarce, and desetification is increasing.

The Indian community in the Waterloo region, which numbers over 5 000 people, has organized relief efforts for the most damaging earthquake to hit India since its independence. The disaster claimed the lives of approximately from 36 000 to 50 000 people and left 150 000 wounded and homeless. The numbers are continuing to grow.
Wilfrid Laurier graduate student Meeta Ahuja organized the relief fund at the University of Waterloo campus and helped to co-ordinate a committee of student volunteers to help organize the project. UW’s Indian Students Association (INDSA) is involved in the relief effort which is supported by the Red Cross. All of the funds will be directly forwarded to Red Cross India Unsuspecting earthquake victims had little chance ofescape as thequake, which measured 6.4 on the Richter scale struck just before dawn, causing concrete slabs to rain down on civilians.

the process of urbanization in underdeveloped countries, such as India, continues. Every year larger numbers of people are at risk because of overall population growth and 90 % of the IO0 million births each year are in the developing world. As a result, the planning of new cities is chaotic. Buildings are built without permission and the safety structures are being ignored because construction is not government regulated. The government of India has had to accept foreign aid for the first time in its independent history. Since 1947. when Britain relinquished control, the country has relied solely on its own resources in times of natural disaster. Donations of money and materials, such as medicines and clothing, are anxiously anticipated and Canada has begun by sending $400,000 in emergency relief. A booth can be found in the Campus Centre on Friday October 8 for those wishing to make donations or volunteer their time. A money box is placed at the Turnkey Desk that is also accepting relief money. People with questions or concerns may contact Hemanshu Modi at 743-3250 or Meeta Ahuja at 747-475 2.

One of the hardest hit villages, Killari, has an estimated 50% of its residents deceased due to the earthquake, while 80% of the village structures are collapsed. More than 25,000 troops have been ordered in to help survivors dig for persons and rebuild communities. Village kitchens have been set-up and fresh water is being provided along with medical teams and engineering units to help cope with the disaster. Unfortunately, late monsoons are hindering these relief efforts as the already overcrowded roads and bridges are being damaged by the heavy rains.

What is radical feminism? I wasn’t clear on the meaning until University of Waterloo’s head of Women’s Studies Harriet Lyons, addressed the issues of date rape, dating, and the origins of radical feminism. The presentation was held on September 30 upstairs at the Grad House. A “radical” as opposed to a “reformist” is a person who seeks to completely replace a systern or structure rather than attempting to modify or reform it The new structure doesn’t have to be in itself extreme, although those uncomfortable with change might find% so. Radical feminism, a movement that began in the late INI’s, does not mean militancy or manhating. Consciousness-raising groups of women in the sixties began to understand that their lives were similar in many ways and realised society strongly encouraged them to live their lives in a particular fashion. The personal is the political. This is the premise of radical feminism. It upholds the idea ofgender roles beinga partofa societal structure
reinforced by a system of rewards and punishments. Radical feminism requires an analysis of political, societal and cultural structures ==women are oppressed for particular reasons that are imbedded in these hierarchical structures. According to radical feminism, public structures must be changed to better personal lives and emphasis is placed on the examination of structural dynamics rather than those of the individual. Women’s economic options were few and poor in the sixties. A single woman’s standard of iiving would often force-her to live in less than adequate conditions. For example, women who were financially unstable would sometimes resort to a life of prostitution. According to Lyons, these factors influenced women to perceive marriage as an option that provided financial and physical security, Therefore, at that time, marriage was the most viable economic prospect for women and having a husband meant a better, safer life. Sexually, a woman had to live up to the image of being a “good girl” or virgin to be marriageable. Women had to secure a commitment of marriage from a man before consenting to have sex with him because with a “bad reputation” a woman’s marriageability declined. With the birth control pill becoming avail-
able in the late sixties and the sexual revolution of the seventies, women were freely having and enjoying sex. The pressures brought forth by having to appear “pure”, modest and celibate were left behind. What a breakthrough! For others, the sexual revolution was an added pressure to have sex and appear as they were enjoying it. “You’re liberated aren’t you?” However, women were not yet completely liberated due to the fact that economic structures remained unchanged. The dating game continues. Lyons conveyed her thoughts on dating as a phase of her generation that would surely end as soon as women became equal in the workplace and gained financial stability. With this occurrence, women and men could meet as equals, have sexual relationships without the commitment of marriage and people could relate to one another out of choice rather than desperation. Many women are not financially self-sufficient today as our economic structures still do not allow financial equality between the sexes. How many cents does a woman earn for a man’s dollar? (60 cents?) Presently, two incomes are usually necessary to buy that house in the suburbs. We are still dating for these reasons as well
as others. Today there remains a strong message that women need men to love them and children to fulfil them. Many women get involved in relationships and have children because of societal pressures pointing in this direction as a vehicle for happiness. A lesbian friend of mine told me that the message for lesbians to have a steady partner is also strong ==that everyone needs a rnonogamous relationship to be happy. When an action is taken because of an external pressure and not an internal desire, conflict results and in this case, the number of divorces, unloved children and unhappy people increases. Freedom to choose other options and the ability to see other avenues is the key issue of concern. More positive messages are needed for women, those of women being satisfied with other pursuits == more women playing leading roles in film and on television, women in governmerit, and in leadership roles. It is time to take a look at those messages to try to create a society where both women and men will be fulfilled by the choices they make.

So I was reading alt.society.generationx the other day, and I was struck by the sheer volume of animosity flowing between the “gen-x’ers”and the “boomers” which posted to that computer newsgroup. While the majority of postings either whine about the state of the twentysomething world or reminisce over ancient MTV memories (what was the first video you saw?), the conversation does, at times, get nasty. Just think, for the last fifty years, the baby boomers have had society at their beck and call, handing them everything they desired. First there was rock and roll, then the sixties, disco, the medecade eighties, and now books on menopause and mythopoetic men’s movement schlock Over all, the boomers have had it pretty well, not having to define their place in a world ambivalent to them. So, along come these technologically adept youngsters complaining about how the system sold them out and that all boomers must die. And some of those same boomers get upset. Life really wasn’t that easy for us, they say. We had to go to Vietnam, they’d say, Kennedy was killed, things weren’t really perfect after all. Stop whining and give us some respect, they demand. Well, no thanks. Although I don’t pretend to feel much aFfinity with them which claim to be gen-x, I do understand their platform. While our boomer uncles and aunts and neighbours were living the lie of corporate fulfilment and Reaganomics, they were feeding us the tine as well. We were told to expect a great job if we just went to university and made the right connec-’ tions. But that just isn’t true. In fact, university isn’t really all that important. And neither is most everything people over 40 tell us. Take the election for example. What are the is-’ sues? The economy, the deficit, helicopters,,Quebec? So what else is new? Where are the debates over education? What do the parties believe should be done about the dilapidated student loans program? Don’t expect an answer soon; they won’t tell us; we’re too young to count. The problem those irked boomers have with our generation is that we dare to look beyond our television sets and computer screens and actually take a stand on something. We have the power to effect the flow of power on this continent with our dollars and votes (witness the U.S. Rock the vote campaign which boosted Clinton into office), and are motivated to do something, even if it is just whine and complain+ So, if you feel neglected by the political or corporate world, get pissed off. Vote for the Natural Law Party for all 1 care, just don’t vote for those controlling the agenda. Better yet, spoil your ballot. Vote for Ed Ucation. Get excited. Participate. Let your voice be heard. Read and post to alt.society.generation-x, even if you hate that label. Label yourself. Refuse to be labelled. Do something.
The
dyke
First of all the important stuff...1 am a 20-80 and completely proud of my statistic. For those of you who don’t know what that means tough testies! And you also missed what will probably be the funniest and most entertaining
show to hit
our campus this year, nah, this decade. On Friday October I, JoAnn Loulan, a California sex therapist specializing in lesbian sexuality, made a rare appearance in Waterloo. She played to a boisterous crowd, that as one expert was heard to say, was smiling with both sets of their lips. joAnn, appearing in her ocean ensemble, talked with the energized audience and drooling dykes alike for two and a half hours and left the stage to a standing ovation. Even my Mom thought she was great and this is precisely her appeal -- she appeals to everyone: lesbian, gay, straight, bi, celibate, undecided, you name your sexuality. She poked fun at everyone -- homophobes, the religious right, lesbians, straights, bis, and gay men. The show was sponsored by the CentralWestern Ontario Regional Al DS Committee and the Ontario Minisstry of Health. If sex-ed class was with her, I have a feeling we’d all be more comfortable with our sexuality, our bodies and our choices and we’d want to take sex-ed. JoAnn has written four books including the infamous pink book every good lesbian owns “Lesbian Sex”. Her other books include “The Lesbian Erotic Dance: Butch, Femme and Other Rhythms” and *‘Lesbian Passion”. The crux of her talk centered around her concept of “gender jail” and its affects on lesbianism and sexuality. In confining ourselves to two still-strictly genders Loulan argued, we limit the boundaries of how we can act and how we expect others, as womyn or men, to act. She referred to lesbians who grew up fitting in as tomboys yet they knew they weren’t boys but they also knew they weren’t what society’s concept of a girl is either. By contrast. she spoke of girls who played with Barbie’s and wore frilly socks and knew they looked likegood little straight girls but knew they really weren’t what society expected them to be. This gender jail is responsible for trapping lesbi-
dilemma
ans and gay men who never identified with either girls or boys. Loulan described the code for lesbians “outerwear” that existed in the 1970’s: kahki shorts, “fry” boots (I still don’t know what they are), the womyn’s earring etc... As more womyn come out we see how diverse we are, unlike in the 1970s when, as Loulan argued, assimilation with the feminist movement equated into lesbian sex being left behind. She addressed the new look “lesbian chic” and she attributes this to our own k.d., who should know both JoAnn and I are willing to personally talk to her about improving her queer politics. Loulan emphasized that this new fascination with lesbian chic is part of mainstream society’s attempt to assimilate lesbian culture into the status quo. ie) wow! she’s a dyke and she looks straight. JoAnn could not stress enough that lesbians are not the same as straight people as much as society wants to claim we are “just like you.” We are not like heterosexuals, we have an entirely different culture, just as gay men have their own culture. We are the culture that has slumber parties consisting of endless processing about life. It was not an issue of which culture -- lesbian, gay or straight, was better, yet she pointed to a timely example of how heterosexual society judges th+ lesbian/gay community. She spoke of the numerous confiscations at the border of lesbian/gay books. Her own books have difficulty getting across the border because they all have lesbian and sex/passion/erotica in their titles even though they are resources, sex-manuals, and critiques on lesbian relationships. “Who is on the docket? Not those involved with child porn or violent porn but lesbian and gay publishers,” stated Loulan. Are lesbian sex manuals the problem with our society? Or is the third child prostitution ring uncovered in Calgary recently a better indicator? Even if lesbians wanted to assimilate into the mainstream culture (WHY?) what makes us think mainstream Canada/America want5 us? JoAnn also entered into the eternal bt;tchl femme debate. She described thess not as roles but as an “is.” One does not wake up one day to
discover they are a lesbian who wears on ty leather jackets or lacy bras. We wore these clothes before we came out as lesbians and perhaps being a lesbian finally gives one the freedom to dress and be who we really are. Loulan’s message has a universal appeat especially when it comes to womyn’s bodies. Like what does a clitoris look like, and why do I feel stimulated even when I’m not being touched directlyon my clitoris? Back in the days when I was straight I’m sure my male suitors were overjoyed to see Luolan’s “Lesbian Sex” book on my shelf. Her talk and diagrams help womyn realize a clitoris has legs that reach around the vulva through the personification/t-o Ie-playing of the clitoris. Her own sexual response cycle allows many different combinations realizing each womyn responds in her own way, not just Master and Johnson’s excitement-plateau-orgasm-resolution. At any point, in Loulan’s willingness-desire-excitement-engorgement-orgasm cycle a womyn can either experience pleasure or shutdown. What a relief for womyn to know that it may take anywhere from three minutes to three years to reach orgasm! Loulan then discussed the conservative (finatical) religious right and their repressive attitudes toward the lesbian and gay community. Her retort to a homophobe on a national phone-in show was to assert that Jesus was indeed a faggot, in drag as well. Think about it she told us, Jesus, in sandals, Iong robe and long hair wandering around the desert for three years with twelve of his MALE pals. It was either the men or the sheep, take your pick. After a hilarious evening describing why we should “come out”, the limited gender roles we put ourselves in, what a clitoris looks like, and how it is stimulated (thanks to Crystal the human clitoris the reading of the first chapter from “Lesbian Erotica”) we were reminded of why we were there, to listen to the definitive voice on lesbian sexuality.

blah..1 don’t like.. 7-O the editor= You know, I’m starting to get a little tired of the inevitable, whining editorial each term about how apathetic Waterloo students are. This is my six@ term here and I’m sure that I’ve seen these editorials every damn term. Okay Ken, you’ve succeeded where all others have failed - you’ve goaded me into writing something. Congratulations. Funk & Wagnall define apathetic as indifferent or unconcerned. I suspect that this description doesn’t fit most of us. The real reason that you don’t get any letters is that for the most part, your paper and what it contains is meaningless. Sure, we enjoy looking at the pretty pictures and ads, the sports scores are of some interest, some of the news is even informative, and we may even have heard of one or two of the groups you review each term, but so what? Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t think the Imprint really makes a difference in the big world out there. So why waste our time writing you letters? I could go on and on, but time’s awastin’. just for fun, though, I think I’ll opinionate a bit, Tuition is going to go up. I think this is only fair. Having a University degree is a great benefit to us whqn we go into the business world, so we. should have to pay for it. I’m not going to like writing the cheque, but it’s not gonna kill me. I’m in Co-op and have been raking in a decent salary. Why isn’t everybody in Co-op? Are they stupid or what? This is the first term that all my profs speak English. It’s a miracle. Why do kids of University professors get free tuition. 7 Bullshit Make ‘em Pay. I don’t smoke and I’m anti-smoking. I hate cigarette smoke. The government should increase taxes on cigarettes even more. Every time a smoker goes to the hospital because of some smoking-related disease, it’s costing me money. So fuck off and stop smoking. I hate crime. I hate having to worry about whether or not I locked my car doors or not. I hate having to worry about my girlfriend driving alone at night. Build some more prisons, put the assholes in them, and throw away the keys. As for people like Paul Teale/ Bernardo/AssholelWhatever, bring back the death penalty. Fry the son-ofa-bitch. I’ll happily flip the switch. Chop military spending. It looks like the helicopters have already been half paid for so we might as well finish the deal. Do we need all of those military bases, though? All that Canada needs is a small, well trained, and well equipped force (ground, air, and water). We should be specializing in search and rescue, peace-keeping, antiterrorist, and rapid-response type situations - the speciality type stuff+ We don’t need a big air force, army, or navy.

is today. Who the hell voted for Bob Rae? Socialism is dead people, or don’t you read the papers? Hasn’t Quebec been whining about separation for twenty to thirty years now? And hasn’t it been voted down time after time? Separatists: fuck off and die! Stop whining about Free Trade take a basic Economics class. Freer trade is good - it forces companies to be efficient. Do you know what efficient means, boys and girls? The same with NAFTA and GATT. Who the hell do the Canadian Auto Workers think they are demanding raises all of the time!. Unions have become too powerful in this country. It’s time to knockthem down to size. I could go on and on and on, but I’m already past my word limit
for what drives them...but no sane arts journalist would consider that, would they? Ms. Edwards ends the article with the words “the band looked like they were having fun, and that’s all that really matters”. WRONG. The audience was also enjoying the show, and that is what really~matters - to both the

audience and the band. The next time you want an objective review, send someone a little more open minded and a little less anal. Then you might get a half decent article in return.

review biased To the editor= I realize that an entertainment review is subject to personal opinion, but the October 1st review of The Rhinos show by Sandie Edwards was pathetic. Ms. Edwards wasted ten inches of your space with clearly biased and somewhat racist comments. If she had presented some concrete negative criticisms, I could haye accepted her article whether I shared her views or not. But I can’t. Referring to the band as a “white boy reggae thing” suggests that white people shouldn’t attempt to play reggae. Unfortunately Ms. Edwards also needs a lesson in categorizing music The Rhinos are NOT a reggae band, even though they do play one reggae number. What they are is unique and diverse in their influences. Every song they play is different, I have seen The Rhinos four times, and each show has been different. Ms. Edwards also criticizes the bands “annoying happiness” and *‘gymnastic bouncing on stage”. How can she trash a band that actuallv looks alive and happy to be playing their music? Or does she prefer spinning the tunes in her walkman while walking through the local wax museum? If Ms. Edwards had been an open minded critic, she would have paid more attention to The Rhinos great vocal and musical ability, their e&ensive instrumental repertoire and their incredible personal interaction with the audience. Instead she chose to enlighten readers with her near fatal pick up scene and her companions active stomach...was
it really the bass or just
too much alcohol? God forbid, but Ms. Edwards could have actually (gulp) interviewed the band to gain an insight and appreciation

Leave Islam to Muslims To the editor= In the last issue of Imprint, Mr. Atwal in his Paranoia attacked my column “The Qur’an Speaks”. I strongty feel that he, as a director-at-large in Imprint’s board of directors, was sup posed to direct most of his comments to Imprint’s Editorial Board not to the writer of a I/4-page column. It is unrealistic to expect that, in a 36page weekly newspaper, my column is the only window for all the socio-political issues related to Islam! The Islamic column “The Qur’an Speaks” is designed, as described in its first article, to provide the Uw’s community with: (I) an introduction about the principle teachings of Islam, (2) The similarities and differences between Islam and other religions and systems
11imprint Got any literature Deadline under
1000
of life, and (3) the challenges that Islam provides to all humans; all that as derived from the Holy Book of Islam, The . Qur’an. The column is primarily directed to those whose information about Islam is limited to that there is a religion called Islam whose followers are terrorists and trouble-makers and to those who do not know that Muslims do NOT worship Muhammad! My experience is that they are many and some of them are f interested to know the truth about Islam. Mr. Atwal wants information only about the dark side of some minority Muslim groups that by no means represent mainstream Islam. I believe that this side is already receiving more than its fair share of coverage in the media. Talking about these minorities will not benefit the reader looking for infurmation about true Islam. It is the BRIGHT side of Islam that is totally ignored by the media and I think it is high time to concentrate on that side that reflects the actual behaviour of the majority of Muslims. If we are to live together in our multi-cultural society in Canada, we have to understand each other correctly. To achieve that, it is essential to look, with understanding, to what others believe not to what you think they believe. We also have to be wise enough not to bring the problems in other countries to our Canadian society. My belief is that political issues are best covered when both sides have the opportunity to present their views. For sure, the suitable place for discussing such issues is not my l/4-page column! The Editorial board of Imprint can assign anyone of its staff to cover any/all of the issues that Atwal brought up and many others such as the massacre of Muslims currentty taking place in Bosnia. I’ll be more than happy to direct whoever will be in charge of such an assignment to someone who can represent the (majority 09 Muslims’ point of view. It is not true that the information contained in my articles can be found in the Dana Porter library (or any other library in KW for that matter). The contents of the articles are collected from the writings and speeches of Muslim scholars around the globe. These articles contain facts, about Islam, which are new to most of the readers and are presented in a condensed form that is suitable to a students’ community.
It is a fact that most of the information, that is available to the UW community, about Islam is supplied by NON-MUSLIMS (even the religious courses about Islam!!). “The Qur’an Speaks” provides its reader with the information that is missing in the media; Islamic information from a Muslim perspective. Why do you want to close this window?!! Instead of attacking the column for what is not there, why didn’t you ask me about the subjects of my future articles?!! Is it difficult for you to contact me?!! If some at Imprint’s offtce had concerns about the column over the past SEVERAL weeks, why didn’t any of them ask me to attend a meeting to clarif>. my position regarding their concerns?!! It seems to me that if Atwal really wants to cancel the religious columns from Imprint, he shoufd bring forth much more convincing arguments. Sameh Rehun V&W Research

upset and
confused over Islam To the editor: Dear Sandy [Atwal], You are upset that Rehan’s column about the Qur’an totally avoids the global picture that Islam finds itself in today. Idon’t blame you for being confused about the world we live in and these days the entire human race seems to be at fault. Rehan cannot address all the issues in an unbiased manner, just as all the debates and wars and media pouring out of our ears have not clarified anything. But as a Waterloo student and a Canadian citizen I do have one major concern: the misconception that the media portrays about the “true” Islam. Most of us are true Muslims outside of the media’s scornful eye and we follow (mostly) the teaching of the Qur’an. My faith is bashed every day by the media and my friends about something I regard as sacred and beautiful. Rehan is the only person who has taken the initiative to deal with the only issue we have control over: the prevention of hatred against something we have no knowledge of. Of course, no other religion has a column for itself, but right now, no other religion is suffering as much injustice as Islam is. Not to mention the libraries are full of more hate. If you give Rehan’s column a chance, you’ll better understand that Muslims and Islam and the Qur’an should not be condemned, but it’s the dirty politics that must be separated from a pure and innocent label.

Who’s co-opting who? To the editor= So, you want to work
your way
through school, do you? Want to get a diploma without accumulating an astronomical debt? How about a job when you finally finish your degree? With such leading questions as this, coop education drew me in. After all, these are legitimate concerns in the present (post-recession, they would have us believe) economy. No one wants to be a burden on society and, having been unemployed for the better part of six months immediately previous to my application to UW, I was acutely aware of my financial situation. The idea of having a $20 000 plus debt was an almost inconceivable nightmare, which I would do anything to avoid. Cooperative education at University was a godsend--or so I thought. Now, one term of unemployment and two school terms later, I have learned better.

I borrowed fifty dollars so that I could photocopy my resumes, stayed up late Thursday classifying and coallating (neglecting my chemistry assignment which was due Friday morning), and went to hand in my applications to twenty-eight jobs at eleven twenty. There, I was informed that I was too late and my resumes could not be accepted, as the others were already being mailed. I asked to speak with a coordinator and was again told in no uncertain terms that what I asked was impossible. I then retrieved all of the particulars of the employers to whom I wished to apply, hoping to ask for their addresses and send my resume packages myself. After returning and waiting for approximately thirty minutes in a coordinator’s office, I emerged to discover, at the reception desk, that he had somehow managed to leave for the day without re-entering his office. Upon asking if there was anyone else I could speak to, I was told that everyone was now out to lunch and I would simply have to wait. After waiting for another forty-five minutes, I finally spoke to another advisor who informed me that coop simply doesn’t have the time or the staff to hand out addresses, that she was very sorry, but it was realty my

The column is entitled Religion and Faith in the 20th Century because some of us believe that there exists in the modern day a profound spiritual malaise that has yet to exist in any previous time in history. Some of us also believe that the answers to the human problem are not as easy as quoting an authority like the prophet Isaiah or the Qur’an, or simply losing oneself in a capitalist guru like Ayn Rand. As for us enjoying being isolated, people with that sort of criticism and
opinion are full of guarded comfort and have never had the courage to participate fully and with awareness in the 20th Century. Only in a society where Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” has become a pop icon can anyone say something as ridiculous as what you’ve said. You are probably

The quotations in this article are from the Best of Trek series of books, edited by Walter Irwin and G. B. Love. It seems obvious that women and men will be equal by the time of the 23rd century. The Federation of Planets believes in equality for everyone, but are males and females treated equal ty on the show? Tom Lalli believes that “Star

The first officer of the Enterprise was a woman in the first pilot episode, “The Cage.” Uhura, a black female officer,
was accorded the same respect as her male bridgemates. However, over the course of the series we see most women as yeomen or historians and very few in security or engineering. Starfleet functions somewhat like a military organization, and the military is one of the last places where people don’t think women betong.

Television changed a lot in the twenty years between the two series. Since The Next Generuticm is syndicated, the producers don’t have a network breathing down their coliective neck. Even so, the role of women
was not as great as it could have been when the show premiered. only three of the nine main characters were female; the captain and first oficer (and second officer) remained male. The only time a woman commands the Enterprise is when everyone else is gone (“Disaster,” “Remember Me,” “Descent”). Doctor Crusher and Counsellor Troi both fulfill traditional women’s roles as physical and mental healers, respectively. Tasha Yar as the security chief was a distinct break from tradition, but she was killed off (albeit at Denise Crosby’s request (she later regretted her death)). In the early episodes Deanna Troi was poorly treated by writers who didn’t know what to do with the character. The empathic Troi voiced what she felt others feeling, but no one paid any attention to her. Her lack of a proper uniform (until last season) also raises questions about her role. Fortunately, she has become much more well-rounded since then. The contradictions and multiple interpretations of gender issues may be due in part to the plethora of writers and directors on the show. (Of course, this statement could be made about all the topics I discuss.) People also project onto Star Trek their own views on gender and their interpretations of the background details of the future. Often people come up with bizarre rationalizations for problems in the show. People also rationalize the differences in treatment of men and women today. There’s no excuse for these differences, and we should eradicate them wherever we see them. Many of us need to make a conscious effort to infer nothing about a person based on (insert your favourite third-person gender-neutral pronoun) gender. Like many issues, this one can stir up intense emotions. There’s probably not

This week Sue Rodriguez was’told that her body no longer belonged to her. The Supreme Court of Canada told her that her body belonged to the state, and it would determine what she did with it. Rodriguez is a 43 year old woman living in Victoria, a former skier and runner who has been struck with a degeneretive nerve disorder called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The affliction causes progressive paralysis slowly shutting down bodily functions and eventually causing death usually through suffocation or choking. Rodriguez’ lawyer argued that federal law preventing assistance to commit suicide contravene the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The case of Dr. Jack Kevorkian in the United States has given the issue of euthanasia the type of coverage it deserves, and hopefully Rodriguez’ case will do the same in Canada. The politicians running for election must decide on which side of the fence they sit. The typical response by Christian types against euthanasia is that legalizing euthanasia opens a Pandora’s Box of troubles and the next thing you know, we’ll be killing people that don’t fit in to our master race etc. etc. etc. In logic, there is a fallacy known as a slippery slope argument. This argument has two premises. First of alt, there is a continuous transition from A to G. There is no way that you can draw a line anywhere in between the A’s and G’s saying, for example that here it is euthanasia, and here it is murder. Secondly, the slope is slippery, meaning that you can’t stop but to go from A to G. These arguments are faIacious. Take a dwarf that is three feet tall and a giant that is seven feet tall. The difference between the two is a measure of height, a continuous var!able, Now if we add a sixteenth of an inch, is the dwarf a giant yet? No, but if we
use the slippery slope argument, we can keep adding tiny amounts, leading us to the conclusion that: dwarfs are actually quite tall. The logical structure of this argument is that if X is an F, then if a tiny amount say n is added to X, then this new X is still an F. Now if Giants and Dwarfs seem a little too obscure, take the voting age. If my birthday was say on October 26th, and I turned eighteen that day, I could argue that it’s really only a matter of a day, and I’m just as responsible today as I witI be tomorrow. In fact, since I turn eighteen at midnight, it’s really only a matter of a minute, etc. etc. The point to all of this is that simply because there isn’t an obvious, sharp distinction between A and G doesn’t mean that one doesn’t exist. For example, if I decide to push Doug Henning into a lake, knowing he can’t swim, then this would be murder. On the other hand, if I come across Mr. Henning, and he’s already drowning, and I don’t help him, is this murder? What if I toss him a life preserver and walk away? Which one is criminal negligence, and which one just deserves a reprimand? Slippery slope arguments are very very popular, and the line is sometimes extremely difficult to see. However, to refuse to make the distinction between two obviously different cases is to condemn people like Sue Rodriguez to a long an painful life, and to refuse her the dignity of a peaceful death. The issue of euthanasia isn’t going to be solved in this eighth of a page, but the whole deal is that we don’t give up. We have to try and devise a definition. In this society, we treat dogs and animals better than people in this case. If an animal is seen to be suffering with no hope of a cure, we put it to sleep out of compassion. If a person is in a similar situation, they are told that they do not have the right of life and death over themselves.

dealing, and let not the justice. Be just: that is all that you do.” [5:9)
It is true that oppression and tyranny rules in the name of religion. It is also true that such oppression still dominates in some countries in the name of religion. But religion is not the only mask used by dictators. Some dictators do not rule over police states in the name of religion. In fatt, any noble principle can be exploited and used as a mask to hide personal ambitions. The French revolution witnessed the worst and most heinous crimes being committed in the name of liberty. But this, of course, should not be taken as a proof for fighting against liberty. Similarly, we should not abandon all religions just because oppression and tyranny dominated some countries in the name of religion. Tyranny is best fought by teachingthe people to believe in GOD, to respect the freedom which is defended and safeguarded by religion, and to be just as indicated in the Qur’anic verse mentioned above. No system has ever aimed at the establishment of justice or the opposition of tyranny as much as [slam does. Some claim that, in true Mamic countries. people will be made slaves with no right to think for themselves and anyone who will dare challenge the rulers will be accused of rebellion against GOD and religion! Nothing is farther from the truth. In fact, Islam made it a duty of the people to change the unjustice. The Qur’an says: “GOD does not like evil talk in public unless it is by someone who has been injured thereby.*’ [4: 1481. Prophet Muhammad says: ‘Whoever witnesses any vice should change it by the hand; if not possible then by the tongue; if not possible then the least that can be done is to pray for its removal by the heart’ He also says:
‘The greatest of Jihad is a word of justice uttered before an unjust ruler.’ Others say that the Islamic system of rule is dictatorial because the state enjoys great power and authority in the name of religion, which has a great attraction for people, so they blindly subject themselves to its tyrannical rule. These false accusations are best refuted by referring to these verses of the Holy Qur’an: (I) One verse which describes some of the characteristics of the true believers: “.., who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation, .,I’ [42:38]. (2) The second verse which records some of the direct commands of GOD to the believers: “.., and when you judge between people then judge with justice, ..” [458]. It is also reported that the first Islamic governor (Caliph) said to the early Muslims: ‘Cooperate with me when I am right but correct me when I commit error; obey me so long as I follow the commandments of GOD and HIS Prophet; but turn away from me when I deviate.’ Moreover, under true Islamic rule, the scholars of the Islamic constitution and law are NOT entitled to any authority or class prestiges over other people!!

When one has a physical illness, he/she makes a trip to the local doctor to get a prescription for a drug to miraculously cure this illness. So when one has an emotional difficulty, why doesn’t one visit the local head doctor, and everything will be just fine and dandy. h’s that simple, isn’t it? Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. It’s been my experience that psychiatrists and counsellors have this “image” of how people should be, and they try to guide them in this general direction. For the most part, I think this is successful; however, you get the odd person who just completety does not fit into this stereotype. And they have a problem. Last year I visited the on-campus counselling services. I found them very friendly and eager to help me, but they tried to ftt me into their picture of how a happy person should be. i spent more time trying to convince them of who I was than I did sorting out my problems. When I finally achieved this, I had a good sense of who t am. Maybe this was the point Yet I found it awkward, and tended to babble because I thought I should be telling them something. The other night I had a reoccurrence of a dream which I experience frequently, and was quite upset by it. A friend suggested that I go talk to someone about it. I felt very alone. Those were not the words I wanted to hear. 1 geneally deal

with these dreams very well, except when I wake up in the middle of the night crying. I have noticed in the past few years that there are more and more counselling facilities to deal with all sorts of problems. It is wonderful that there is so much support available for those who need it. Yet how many people really need pro@sionu! help? The moment someone shows a little bit of stress, someone else is immediately knocking on their door recommending a wonderful psychiatrist or distress hotline. What are they afraid of? Why is it that people are so alienated from each other. Try talking to them yourself. They probably don’t expect you to solve their problems, but rather, just need a listening ear and a soft shoulder. I’m by no means saying that counselling isn’t good; I think it’s great. I just don’t think it’s the only way. So the next time you see someone crying, before you give them a phone number, reach into your heart for a little kindness and give them a nice long hug. It may be enough to give them the strength to carry on. Neighbourly love is something we don’t see much of in today’s individualistic society. This bothers me. I’m tempted to post a classified ad:

Last April, the NDP government of British Columbia allowed previously suspended clearcutting to continue in most of Clayoquot Sound, BC. Premier Mike Harcourt considered this a fair compromise that would satisfy the economic needs of logging companies and their employees, while calmingthefears of environmentalists, local citizens, and native groups who occupy the territory. Clayoquot Sound is one of the largest ancient temperate rainforests in the world, containing Sitka Spruce, Dougias Fir, and Western Red Cedar. Some trees are as old as I700 years, and can be up to 90 metres tall and six metres wide. The area provides a habitat for a diverse array of wildlife, both on and off-shore, including black bears, otter, two types of whales, five types of salmon, hundreds of migrating birds, and the endangered marbled murelet A BRIEF

THE
CONTROVERSY In I 955, the MacMillan and Bloedel logging corporation was granted exclusive logging rights to over half of Clayoquot Sound by the provincial government The public was not consulted. The following year, most of the rest of Clayoquot’s forests were granted to the British Columbia Forest Products company. This deal was later found to be corrupt The Forestry Minister was sentenced to jail for accepting bri bss to grant the licence. Nonetheless the licence was allowed to stand. By I970 the level of clearcutting had more than tripled from the initial rate of the ‘SOS. Evidence of damage to the environment then became apparent, as the problem of soil erosion grew. In the early 198Os, residents of Tofino, a community within Clayoquot, organised to oppose the proposition of clearcutting on Meares Island, which also lies within the area. The government established the Meares Planning Team. However, the team’s recommendations for substantial forest preservation were ignored when 95 per cent of the area was allocated to industry. This led to the first blockades by natives and non-natives. MacMillan and Bloedel was granted an injunction to remove any protesters from the site.

In 1985, the local Nuu-Chah-Nulth First Nations were granted their own injunction to stop the logging on Meares Island while their claim to aboriginal rights to the land was before the courts. Their case was not heard until I99 I. Meanwhile, in 1988, Tofino residents stepped up their opposition to a logging road being built along Sulphur Pass. The courts allowed New Zealand-based logging company, Fletcher Challenge,

enetic engineering is here, and it’s happening in every’ food group. If the trend continues, the fruits, vegetables, meat and milk products at your local grocer will never be the same. At almost 500 sites in Canada alone, scientists are testinggene-spliced crops such as canola and alfalfa. As more applications are developed for genetic engineering, an increasing number of issues and questions arise. There is a need to deal with these issues to prevent the types of environmental and social problems posed by nuclear and chemical technologies.

is Biotechnology isgenerally deftned as the use of living organisms in the production of goods and services. Genetic engineering is a type of biotechnology including techniques to insert genes from one species, such as a fish, into another, such as a tomato. With these techniques, life forms can be engineered to produce specific products, or to include certain characteristics considered “desirable.” Since the new life form reproduces itself, the production of goods and services becomes quite cheap. All you have to do is provide favourable conditions for the new life-form to multiply. For example, the gene which creates human insulin has been engineered into bacteria which can now produce this important product. As the bacteria multiply, more and more insulin is pro-
duced. All the drug company has to do is get the insulin out of the bacteria culture. The raw material and production costs are but a fraction of what it would cost to make insulin by chemical methods.
Another example is the engineering of herbicide-resistant plants, The plant gets a gene which can deactivate the herbicide and thus, is not damaged by the plant poison. Bio-engineering raises many concerns with citizens, labour and agriculture groups. As a first step in discussing these questions, the Canadian Environmental Network (CEN) recently facilitated the writing of a range of critical issues which need to be resolved.
Ethics Moral and ethical concerns with genetic engineering resolve around the human domination of life at its microbiological level. “We are crossing evolutionary barriers by transferring genes from a fish to a tomato,” says Brewsten Kneen, an agricultural expert from Toronto. “Species are robbed of their natural development solely to fulfil human desires. Have humans become gods to all other life?” he asks.
Health
simply the lack of knowledge and information about how new life forms will interact in the environment. The database to make informed decision is incomplete at best. Microbiologists from the University of Waterloo in Ontario have noted that “...when dealing with the potential risks to ecological systems, the existing database is meagre and the predictive ability of the ecological sciences is almost nil.” When it comes to assessing the effects of introducing genetically engineered life into the environment, American author and lobbyist Jeremy Rifkin
problem the practice of clear-cutting? In the agricultural field, crops are being developed that are resistant to pesticides and herbicides. What about organic agriculture? These projects take the status quo for granted, and reinforce the legitimacy of spraying synthetic chemicals on food crops.
Public
Participation
Most citizens’ groups feel that there is insufftcient public participation in the decision-making process at all stages of genetic engineering. The right to participate in the decisions is justified for at least three reasons. First,
Effects
All bio- engineered life forms have the potential for d range of environmental and human health effects, from transmitting diseases to disturbing food chains or biogeochemical cycles. In general, the potential risk of environmental effects is stated to be of a “low probability, but high consequence” nature. In other words, although the
chances of something going wrong are remote, if something does go wrong, the ecological consequences I may be disastrous. One ofthe difficulties in identifying the risks of genetic engineering is

is a hit-
Technologies
Currently, applications are being developed for genetic engineering that may not necessarily be in the public interest. Clearly, some projects seem to address the symptoms and not the causes of our problems. In forestry, for exam-
ple, one idea which is being vigorously pursued is the development of genetitally improved trees for quicker reforestation. These trees are supposed to be grown on clear-cuts. But are slowgrowing trees the problem, or is the real
and most importantly, the public will bear the risks associated with genetic engineering. Second, it is justified through research programs and federal government’s Nation Bio-technology Strategy (NBS). Finally, citizens will be the consumers of products derived by genetic engineering, and they should have the right to decide which products they want to consume. Sadly, public participation in decisions on bio-engineering is almost nonexistent. “The only agencies that have made a serious attempt at includingthe public are Environment Canada and Health and Welfare Canada,” says Mark Windfield, research director at the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy. “But most applications of genetic engineering fall within other departments who have yet to include the public in their decision making process.”
Patenting Who owns the new life forms we create? Genetic engineering is invariably linked to patenting and intellectual property rights, and the application of patenting to the process and products of life raises many serious questions about ownership and control. “Patenting genes and life forms is marally and socially unacceptable,” says Jacqueline Munroe of the World Society for the Protection of Animals. “It allows companies and scientists to have exclusive rights over the most fundamental process of biology: reproduction. Further, by reducing living entities to genetic codes and chemical sequences, it makes life into nothing but a giant Lego (TM) set, ripe for patentable recombination.”

genetically engineered food may contain quite different levels of important nutrients. Indeed, the whole nutritional value of food products may be radically changed. in addition to allergies, many consumers avoid certain food for religious and cultural reasons. Genetiially engineered food products may make such distinctions impossible and intrude on religious or cultural preferences. How will you know that you are eatinggenetically engineered food?

Food Citizens are concerned about genetically engineered food for a number of reasons. Overall. the high-tech agriculture pursued with genetic engineering depends on science and technology and not on nature and ecology, which are the main principles of a sustainable agriculture. More specifically, the concerns are that: e new contaminants may be added or contaminant levels increased in food products. I consumers allergic to, a particular protein.

labelling genetically engineered food continues in earnest in the U.S., but it has not reached the same level in Canada. The battle lines are being drawn and you may fitid yourself drawn in sooner or later. Opponents of labelling bio-engineered foods argue that if the food is safe to eat, why should it be specifically labelled? The production process of the food should not determine what’s on the label. Food producers don’t label how processed cheese or crackers are made. Proponents for food labelling, on the other hand, say that food safety is only one criterion for labelling. Many people do not eat certain food products due to religious, cultural, or ethical reasons. Thus, labelling allows consumers to make their own choices, just like labelling “environment friendly” products. In the end, proponents argue, prohibiting that choice violates democratic principles. These are only some of the issues and questions raised by the report of _the Biotechnology Caucus of the Canadian Environmental Network. Members of the Caucus-“are worried that without addressing these questions, the mistakes made with the chemical and nuclear revolutions will be repeated, resulting in serious environmental damage. As Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park, says in the introduction to his book which led to the hit movie of
the same name: “Biotechnology promises the greatest revolution in human history. By the end of the decade, it will have outdistanced atomic power and computers in its effect on our everyday lives. But the biotechnology revolution is... uncontrolled. No one supervises it No federal laws regulate it. There is no coherentgovemmentpolicy, in America or anywhere else in the world. Genetic research continues at a more furious rate than ever. But it is done in secret, and in haste, and for profit.” For more information contact the CEN Biotechnology Caucus, Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and policy, 5 I7 College St., Toronto, ON, M6G 4A2.

Despite the win, Knight was still not completely happy with the team’s performance. “We were a bit more consistent offensively in the second half, but we should have still been up 2 I-O,” Knight said.

The Waterloo Warrior rugby team got back on track last Saturday with an exciting come-from-behind win against the OUAA-leading Queen’s Golden Gaels by a score of I9- 17. Before the game, head coach Fraser Cattel made it clear that he wanted total dedication to the team and to winning, benching players who did not show for an early Friday morning practice. Everyone knew that Queen’s was the class of the OUAA this season after three easy wins including two against York and Guelph, two teams that had beaten the Warriors already, and an easy win against defending OUAA champs McMaster. It was clear that the Warriors understood the importance ofeisgame when they took the field, as they were intense and fired up from the start of the match. Despite their aggressive start, the Warriors quickly found themselves 50 down after a try by the Queen’s fullback. Warrior flyhalf Simon Lewis pulled the team back to within two soon thereafter with one of his four penalties on the day. The rest of the first half was marked by never-say-die defence by the Warriors as Queen’s attacked relentlessly. They managed to get nine points via three penalty kicks
while Lewis kicked one more for Waterloo. The Varsity found themselves down 14-6 down at the half and knew they had an uphill battle ahead of them. The Waterloo performance in the second half has to go down as one af the best displays of gritty rugby ever played by a Warrior side. The Gaels continued to run at the Warriors, always seeming to find space on the outside due to their fullback joining the line at every opportunity. However, before he had a chance to cause too much trouble, Waterloo flankers Randy Martin and Anthony Beatywere covering in defense to quash any threat that QueeF’s posed. The Waterloo pack always got to the site of breakdowns in numbers and rucked mercilessly over the Queen’s pack Ian Pryde and Dale Finiay were an impressive force in the loose play and set strums, helping hooker Steve Humphreys to win all of his side’s putins and steal one of Queen’s’. At about the 20-minute mark of the game, Waterloo was finally rewarded fortheir effort. A penalty about five yards out and under the posts was conceded by the Queen’s pack under immense pressure from the rucking
back in it at 14-l 3. From the ensuing kickoff, Queen’s once again applied pressure. They spun the ball out quickly to the backs and then, after an obviously forward pass, the Queen’s winger found nothing but daylight between himself and the Waterloo line. He should have scored, but Beaty had other plans. Running all the way across the field from his position in the strum, he caught up with thewinger and made a desperation one-handed game-saving tackle to bring the winger down about five yards out The Waterloo pack was there quickly in support and held them out A few minutes later, Lewis was presented with an opportunity to put Waterloo ahead for the first time in the game. It seems all he needs is a little pressure on himself to perform as he easily stroked the kick through to put Waterloo up I6- 14. For the next ten minutes, Waterloo showed themselves to be one of the best defensive sides in the OUAA, staving off attack after attack, With about one minute left in play, Waterloo suffered a cruel blow. Queen’s was awarded a penalty and put themselves ahead l7- I 6. The match

About an hour later the big Queen’s lock bodychecked Lynch about ten yards out of Play* Thanks to that bonehead play, Lewis once again found himself in a position to put Waterloo ahead. The pressure was tremendous, obviously, but he must thrive on it, as once again hecooltystrokedthe40-yarderthrough to give Waterloo a well-deserved win. The final whistle blew as the kick went through and the Warriors erupted in jubilation. “A hell of a team effoe” is how Cattel described it. The win was truly amazing considering that seven of the Warrior starters were rookies. The Warriors find themselves at I-3 now and with hopes of a playoff spot still intact if they win their three remaining games.

All four teams in Waterloo’s division for the season will be there, being Waterloo, Western, Laurier, and Windsor, so you can be sure of some hard-hitting, well-played shinny, as there is no love lost between these teams. The remaining four teams that have hen invited are last year’s OUAA West division champs the Guelph Gryphgns, the perennially strong UQTR Les Patriotes, the Queen’s Golden Gaels, and the Brock Badgers. Half of the games in the tourney, including the championship game, will be played at the Columbia Icefield, while the remaining games will be played at the Waterloo Arena, affectionately known as “The Bubble”. In the early rounds, the Warriors will be facing Queen’s, Windsor, and Guelph, while the other teams will be determining a division champ at the Bubble. Waterloo’s first game is at 8~00 p.m. on Friday (tonight) versus Queen’s, and the outcome of that game (surety a Waterloo win!) wilt determine when they play next.

Last weekend saw the Waterloo Warrior hockey team host Wilfrid Laurier and Western in their two official pre-season games. These games allowed the coaches to make player assessments and gave the players a chance to impress and maybe crack the roster for the upcoming season, which begins on October 2 I at Western. A few players managed to hang on for at least this weekend’s Oktoberfest Tournament because of their strong showing in the exhibition games. The coaches will make their final cuts after this weekend. The Warriors play their first game of the Oktoberfest tourney tonight at 8 p.m. against the Queen’s Golden Gaels. UW co-hosts the tournament with WLU. (See Oktoberfest tournament preview above.) Last Friday’s game against Laurier saw Waterloo do all their scoring in the first two periods, and they held on for a 6-3 win over the Golden Hawks: Defenceman Mike Chitaroni put in four goats, an uncommon feat for a blueliner, with Mike White adding two to round out the scoring. Coaches Don McKee and Dave Cressman now feel that Chitaroni may be better suited as a forward, so they will try him up front during Oktoberfest. Defenceman Brian Henry was especially impressive for the Warriors, as his thunderous bodychecks sent Hawk players falling to the ice with great force throughout the game. Many times he caught Laurier forwards with their heads down in open ice, and he simply
plowed them over. It was truly a beautiful sight, This game also featured some very enthusiastic and vocal fans, notably a contingent identifying themselves at Botswana, who may be a group of engineering students. Their presence filled the game with energy and it is hoped that they will come out often. Sunday’s game versus Western saw the Warriors lose a heart-breaker 33 seconds into overtime, after tying the game on a goal by Marc Vaughan with 25 seconds left to go in regulation time. The status of overtime in exhibition games was unclear, as neither side knew whether or not it was required. Western’s coach wanted to play, while Waterloo’s acting coach Dave Cressman was satisfied with the tie and was prepared to call it a game. Captain Bill Whistle led the way with two goals, while former Waterloo Siskins Mark Ferrier and Sheldon Gilchrist had two points each. Rookie Greg Esdale, fighting for a position, also had a goal and an assist. The award for the hardest working player of the game has to go to Mark Maillet, who was everywhere on the ice all game long. Maillet, who has played in Scotland and at Carleton University, played a solid two-way game, working hard at back-checking as well as setting up rushes. The coaching staff was impressed with Maillet’s ability to read plays, and told him that because of nis showing they simply could na cut him, even though everything else is against him in hockey terms. Maillet is in his fourth year, is 24 years old, 5X”, and I65 pounds. In hockey terms, he’s small, but plays big, and is a real sparkplug on the team.

Impressive efforts were seen by all Waterloo participants. The second event used the 800yard run times combined with swimming times to determine the times! placings. Of the women’s competitors, Corinne Peden placed second in the run as did veteran Ian Hunt on the men’s side. Hunt also took first in the men’s 50”yard butterfly. Rookie Ed Furs had two fast swims in the 200-yard freestyle and the I OOyard Butterfly winning both races and leaving U. of T. and Brockswimmers far behind. Warrior Andrew Wahbe is showing much improvement in his second year of varsity swimming with a third in the men’s 50 free. Athenas Amy Jarvis, Melissa Williams, and Kara Rice swam well, placing second in the I O-yard butterfly, the 100 breast, and the 50 breast respectively. Following the veteran’s example, rookies Deanna Hlwyka swam well placing second in the loo-yard back and third in the l O&yard individual medley. Also showing great potential for future meets wert: rookie Laura Anderson with a third in the 200 free, veteran Terry Boyko with a second in the 50 back, and rookie Chris Nagy in the 100 breast The level of team spirit is quickly increasing helping us to beat Brock this time and hopefully help at future meets.

In this week’s OUAA game of the week on Hamilton’s CHCH channel I I, the Guelph Gryphons come to town. Why the crucial situation? Well, look at Waterloo’s remaining opponents after Guelph. Next weekend is Laurier, the number-four ranked team in Canada which has already made mincemeat out of everybody except Toronto. After that, in the regular season finale, UW plays the Windsor Lancers, a team that the Warriors should beat.

Last weekend, while most of their competition were racing out of province, the Waterloo cross country team spent two days mashing their way through the sand dunes at Grand Bend during what they have affectionately dubbed the “Bullets and Barbed Wire Hill Training Camp.” This is the team’s second trip to the training site, which is currently used by the Canadian Armed forces. After viewing the impressive array of sand dunes, sparse outcroppings of grass and the occasional discarded coil of barbed wire, trainer Kevin Blake commented that the location “looked like a scene out of Rat Patrol.” The team was joined on Saturday morning by athletes from Sarnia, Petrolia and the Kitchener-Waterloo Track Club for the first of three gruelling training sessions. The runners started with hill workouts. In the sand, climbing a hill is like ascending a very steep, very fastmoving escalator that’s going the wrong way. Although no one actually became sick during the three-hour workout, there were a few people who mentioned the taste of bile and nearly everyone ran out of water by the twohour mark Following the departure of the club runners and a three-hour siesta, the Waterloo runners took to the beach for some strength work in the high winds. Here, the team was nailed with a barrage of push-ups, squats, and abdominal exercises, among others. These exercises were incorporated into several gruelling runs. After nearly two hours of torture
start
the team took their battered bodies out to dinner, where they took full advantage of the rejuvenating powers of beer and a plethora of pizza. The Sunday morning workout was certainly the most psychologically challenging for the Waterloo runners after the beating they had taken the day before. After a’ beach run followed by what seemed like endless hard intervals through the sand dunes, the athletes were rewarded with a game of touch football. Little did they realize that the game was merely a ploy for ever-deceptive coaches Brent McFarlane and John Swarbrick, togauge the group’s energy level. The consensus was that the team could withstand one final assault on their bodies: “The Beast”. “The Beast” is quite simply running to the top of a monolithic sand dune, coming back down, completing twenty chinnies (a sit-up which also involves the legs) and five push-ups. It is completed 30 times and only the team’s most primal athletes could complete it in under 40 minutes. According to the coaches, the camp provided two major benefits. The first, of course, was the physical benefits from completing such an overwhelming volume of work with such intensity and vigour. The psychological edge, however, gained from enduring such punishment could be even more beneficial. Now when a runner steps up to the starting line, he/she won’t ask “Will I get a personal best?” That athlete is going to think of the cold room stayed in, the sand in the clothes, shoes, noscontinued

tomorrow. Judging from the preseason hype, Laurier’s Stefan Ptaszek was supposed to run away with the OUAA’s receiving crown. But a couple of guys in Guelph have had something to say about that so far this year. The key to tomorrow’s game will be how Waterloo’s secondary contains Cuelph’s dangerous duo of receivers, Kevin Reid and Dave Irwin. Reid earned OUAA player of the week honours last Saturday against Windsor when he caught 230 yards worth of Rob Kitching’s passes, an OUAA single game record. Reid also leads the conference with 456 yards on 23 receptions this season. Teammate Irwin is second with 22 catches for 395 yards. Gryphon quarterback Rob Kitching is second in conference passing as well. “They have a potent offence and they do it with the pass,” admits UW
head coach Tuffy Knight. “If they had just one outstanding receiver, you’d be able to double him up, but with two great receivers, it’s not that simple.” Lining up against these two athletes will be the OUAA’s stingiest pass defence. Waterloo also leads in total yardage allowed and points allowed. Guelph’s runninggame is no slouch either, with Rob Popkey just six yards back from UW’s Mike Mallot in the OUAA rushing race. Guelph’s defence is third in rushing yards allowed, passing yards allowed, and total yards allowed. The key for Waterloo will be the consistency of the offence. “We definitely need to control the ball,” says Knight “If the ball’s in their hands for too long, they will score a Lo% of points." WR Adrian Thorne (knee), DB Coe Delaney (shoulder), and OL Fam Lone are all questionable for tomorrow’s game.

Athenas
downed The Waterloo soccer Athenas continued their season last weekend with a 2-O loss at McMaster. Following the pattern of many earlier games this year, the women started slowly. In fact, the ball did not leave the Waterloo end for the first ten minutes. The team weathered this initial assault successfully, then settled down to play a steady first half. The strong McMaster side continued to press, however, and only the excellent work of goalkeeper Nicole Wight kept the scoresheet blank. With midfielder Amanda Shaw as the focus, Waterloo did generate some sporadic attacks, leading to a break by Tiffany Kanitz which drifted just past the corner and a free kick by Anna Googendoorn that flew mere inches over the bar. For the most part, though, McMaster carried the play. The Waterloo defence, led by sweeper Kyla E%agnall,bent but did not break and the half ended scoreless, thanks in part to some incredible saves by the Waterloo keeper and some even better saves by the crossbar and the goalposts. The second half began as the first ended, with the Marauders carrying the attack and the

Waterloo defence holding firm. At this point, both teams knew that it would be one break which would decide the game. Unfortunately, this break went McMaster’s way. Midway through the half, an aggressive Marauder foray resulted in a free kick just outside the box. The opponent’s well-place6 strike eluded goalkeeper ‘Wight and found the top corner, giving Mac the lead. Waterloo didn’t give up, however, and continued to fight for an equalizer. Their aggressive style of play gave McMaster some extra opportunities, one of which was a smooth cross from the right wing which found a forward’s head, then the back ofthe net Some shrewd situational substitutions by UW head coach Bruce Rodrigues combined with stellar play from the midfield and forward line kept the Athenas in the game, but on this day there were no goals to be found; the game ended 2-O. Despite the loss, the Athenas still have a firm grip on seventh place in the OWIAA West division and plan on earning a playoff spot for the second consecutive year with a strong performance in the second half of the season. The team’s next home game is October I6 against Wilfrid Laurier at lovely and picturesque Columbia Field. Any and all fan support is appreciated, but plan to be there early to get a good seat, as it is expected to be standing room only.
by Geoffrey Downql Imprint sports Men’s tennis at VW is underway and this year’s team is competitive. With over 40 players trying out for eight spots and only four days to make cuts, choosing the team was no easy task, but coaches Dennis Long and Marten johnston feel this is the best group in years. The team is composed of four returning players -- captain Richard Straka, Albert Tseng, Steven Frith, and Baldev Solar&i (returning after a year’s hiatus) -- and- four rookies -- Peter Worthing, Steve Ahlberg, Steve Whitney, and Geoffrey Downey. After a successful foray against Brock and a disappointing trip to Western, the team was counting on doing well this past weekend at home against Toronto and McMaster. Tied with Toronto for fourth place before the matches began, the Warriors knew they had to win big in order to stand a chance of making the playoffs. And win they did, though perhaps not big enough.
hunt
Of the five singles matches against McMaster, Straka, Tseng, and Frith won, while Downey and Whitney lost St&a’s match was very exciting. He managed to fight back after losing the first set and being down a match point in the second. UW swept both doubles and finished the series with a 5-2 record. A sweep against Toronto would have been necessary to ensure a playoff place for the Warriors, since Toronto has six matches in hand in the standings. Straka, Tseng, and Worthing won their singles matches, and a split in the doubfes matches gave UW a 4-3 overall win, a commendable showing but somewhat disappointing to the players given their target. The team has the coming weekend off and will travel to Ottawa on October 16. With a sweep against the Gee Gees, and a little luck, the playoffs are still a possibility for the first time in years. A special thanks to Marten Johnston and the Waterloo Tennis Club for taking such good care of us last weekend.
Country

trils and ears, the 1,500 chinnies,and the countless kilometres hammered out through the dunes. The new athlete behind the line will say “I’d better get a personal best!” Another achievement from the camp was the team cohesion it fostered. Although cross country is not usually thought of as a team sport, the teams that go to the CIAU championships are the teams with the best five
runners overall. This means that a team’s fourth and fifth best runners are as important as its best. It is vital then, that the runners feel a need to push each other in training and feel like they can count on each other on race day. With the benefits derived from the camp and the confidence gained from the pummelling that the team gave the competition at Queen’s two weeks ago, they should be able to do some major damage when they compete at Western today.

Field hockey loses to York, thrashes Trent by Carol Imprint
Ferguson sports
The Athena field hockey team made the welcome switch back to an artificial turf medium last weekend at Lamport Stadium in Toronto. But they had mixed results, losing 6 I to the powerful York Yeowomen and burying an inexperienced Trent . team 7-O. Their work was cut out for them as they faced the Yeowomen. York, complete with six players fresh from World Cup play, is a formidable opponent. Somewhat intimidated by the sheer force of York’s game, Waterloo started the match playing very defensively with none of their usual speed and aggression. Admonished at halftime by head coach Judy McCrae to “have fun out there,” the Athenas came back in the second half to play a much smarter, more aggressive brand of hockey. Waterloo only scored onegoal to York’s six, but Linda Mowat’s shot
on a penalty corner made a resounding thwack on the backboard. The coaching staff at York credited Waterloo with being their best competition this season. From one extreme of play to another, the Athenas played Trent on Saturday afternoon. Trent, the basement team of the OWIAA, is a difficult team to play because of their inexperience. Players flock to the ball, making positioning interesting. To quote an Athena team member, “It’s like playing hockey in the twilight zone. You go through seven people and you’re shooting on net!” The Athenas played hard enough to guarantee the win, racking up seven goals over the course of the game. McCrae used the game to give the new playeri some additional field time and to rest some key players. And the Athenas are going to need their rest After Wednesday’s game at Toronto, they meet the Blues again today (Friday, October 8) at IO:00 a.m+ on the grass at Guelph. At 2~30 p.m. today, they meet Trent.

WeAllShineOn The Douughboys wf Recfd uross Federation Hall October 4, I993
Nobody
told me there’d
be days
like these.
If our illustrious editor requires any more indication of the apparent apathy of our fellow students, he should have been at Tuesday’s show. The audience (or lack thereof) managed to make Fed Hall look enough more vacuous than normal, and that’s saying something. Which is too bad, because even if you’ve seen the Doughboys before, Redd Kross are well worth eight bucks. Starting at ten, the retro-rockers guitar wanked their way through some pretty cool material including some rather surprising covers. They presented no less than three during the night (that I could identify anyway) inclusding PJ Hamey’s “Oh My Lover” which received a &eerie piano intro, but was competent and a rockin’ version of Jonathan Richman’s “That Summer Feeling”. In addition to this, the band played a hilarious technolrave parody called “My Little Pony.” Complete with more cheesie keyboards, wukka-wukka guitars and fucked up lyrics, the band proved that they could rockwith the best and laugh with the rest. The Doughboys were another matter. It’s not that they were bad, and I guess technically, they’re good, but more than anything, they’re just there. They don’t do anything that hasn’t been done before, and that’s just not good enough is it? They seem to know this themselves, as they performed their best song and latest single “Shine” as their opener. At their best, they’re still Husker Du’s worst moments, plodding along like it means something. As I said, it’s not that they’re doing anything terribly wrong, but for the unconvefled, it’s just boring, and that’s in the wonderful world of mwk that’s the one thing you can’t be. A point worth noting: Fed Hall was serving three beers on Tuesday, cutting down their selection for the promotion of a new product. What the fuck is this? While UW students maybe criticized for spending too much time sucking down their favourite brew, at least they’re not on their knees sucking corpomte cock.

Who do Suedethink they are? by Greg Imprint

men put on an enthusiastic show for the packed crowd. The Winnipeg band served up both old and new numbers that were well received by those in the mosh pit and surrounding area. You know it is a great show when people are so excited that they are willing to risk life and limb and crowd surf at Phil’s. Let me enlighten those of you who have never been to Phil’s before. The ceiling is only inches above your head at the best of times. Lip skids along the roof were a common occurrence on this particular night With a new album in the works, great new sounds emerged from the stage along with such classics as “Run and Hide”, ” Mister” and “Crazy Days”. Songs from their only release to date MclarenFurnuceRoom took on a life of their own in a live setting. The Watchmen hit the stage with their wheels spinning and proceeded to rockthrough out the set The cuts and bruises sustained bouncing around were well worth it just to witness this phenomenal act. Watch for a new release in the not to distant future. Catch the Watchmen next time around for a truly inspiring night of live music.

by Chris Altiworth special to Imprint Phil’s is a great place to see any band live. This particular night it wasn’t just any band though, it was the Watchmen. Piss on you all who think they sound like the Tragically Hip. Taking nothing away from the l-lip, the Watchmen don’t sound like anyone but the Watchmen. Perhaps thereare similarities between the energetic stage show of the Watchmen and a show by Gordon Downie and crew but that is where the comparisons end. I have to admit that when I was first told about the Watchmen the comparison did pop up. Let’s face reality though, these guys are far too talented to be left in anybody’s shadow. For those of you who missed this particular show all I can say is it sucks to be you. Catch the Watchmen at Phil’s next time around, if they are still playing such small venues. The Watch-

I am so sick of reading about Suede in every issue of those poncey British rags like the NMEand the Melody Maker. I’m sick to death of it There is too much Suede in the world. So much so, that I think that I shall add to the problem, and do a preview for the up-coming concert at the Concert Hall. If you are wondering why I’m writing a preview for Suede, and not Stone Temple Pilots or Primus, it’s the simple fact that I want to write a preview of Suede, and not the others. lfyou want to read a preview for any of the other bands, why don’t you zip on down here to the Imprint ofice, and write one? Which is not trying to sound nasty, but a lot of people complain about the content of the Arts section. If people don’t like what goes into the Arts section, then it is the prerogative and the right of every single University of Waterloo student to come down, and write whatever they like. However, back to Suede, Suede last came on June 10th to the Concert l-fall, which is where they are playing for this concert So, I guess we could say that Suede has not advanced at all since June. It is now October Still, the Stone Roses haven’t advanced since the Fool’s Gold single, back in ‘89, but we’re still expecting great things from them. me question is, then, am I perhaps being a little too rough on Suede? After all, isn’t every band’s dream to be embraced by the most powerful music publications in the world? Isn’t it every bands dream to become this month’s flavour. I know it’s mine. So let’s not criticize Suede, and learn to appreciate them for what they are. Which is pallid Mick Ronson/ David Bowie imitators. Which, no matter to what degree of originality, is really a lot of fun. It is quite interesting, the way they wiggle their hips, and cavort about on stage as if they’d been kissed by the ghost of the fairy god-mother, Marc Bolan. During their last tour of the British Islands they actually went out of their way to embrace houte-couture, by having a cello player on with them. Wow.
That’s just far too cool. I never even thought that Pink Floyd did the exact same thing, albeit with a French forty-

September Child is a new, up and coming foursome from Ottawa that has just released their first full length, self-titled CD. The original line-up formed two years ago and has been working hard on the club circuit, extensively touring both Ontario and Quebec. just this past summer September Child payed our fair city a visit, opening for the ska band One at the Volcano. Their high spirited opening set showcased the band’s immeasur-
your skin. Opening with the jangly “SunFALLhour”, September Child draws from many influences, creating a style all their own. Starting off sounding slightly Spin Doctorish the band quickly shifts gears with the Morrisonesque “Vampire”, complete with a spoken word performance just like Jim himselfwould havedoneThere is a distinct blues flavour to the entire atbum reminiscent of 60’s era Doors and Stones. Do not be fooled though, this is not a rip off of ,the past’ but an amalgamation of a variety of great sounds. September Child mixes catchy hooks and superb poetry throughout

the entire length of the CD. Stand out tracks include “Crazy Annie”, my pet= sonal favorite “Strange Girl”, and “Lucie”, with it’s great guitar intro. “Lucie” could be very easily be mistaken for a Tragically Hip tune if it wasn’t for the mysterious quality of Chris Dyck’svoice. “Harlequin” is also agreat number and could be likened to Midnight Oil for its slow methodic performance. This great mix of songs bond together to create a great debut release. September Child is a unique and talented band that you can expect great things from.

change in theme and tone so drastically that it becomes difficult to pinpoint one unifying message from this roller coaster of tunes. After the high impact title track, “Demolition Man”, concert screams filter in and Sting sings “King of Pain”, a tune from his years as a member of the Police. It st&ts off slow and builds into a jazzy, energetic v&sion with more electronic keyboard backup than the original. The song extends into hypedup, quick guitar rifts and techno sounds
Imagine yourself bombarded by a fleet of helicopters, then throw in some digital/ techno noises interspersed with a splattering of soulful howling from a voice resem bling Aretha Franklin%. In the midst of this chaotic frenzy, conjure up Sting’s voice, in true Police style singing, “Strapped to the tracks and the train’s fast coming/ Strapped to the wind with the energy h-n nmning...” These are the first sounds of “Demolitian Man” the soundtrack from the movie which stars Sylvester Staltone and Wesley Snipes; The tape consists of 6 songs all recorded by Sting, most of which were recorded live in Italy during his 1993 concert tour. It’s an odd mosaic of songs pulled from the deepest corners of Sting’s magical hat box, and %‘s presented in a haphazard manner. As you’re listening to the album, the songs

similar to those found in “Demolition Man.” However, the song seems to be drawn out too long to fill space, and this extension detracts from the piece. The musical roller coaster ride of the first side glides to a close with the soothing rhythms of the live version of “Shape of my heart”, which also appears on Sting’s most recent album “Ten Summoner’s Tales.” The live version makes the studio recorded version pale in comparison. You can feel the intensity of the crowd’s appreciative silence, the togetherness of the huge auditorium of people awe struck by the beauty of the lyrics. This song is the best tune on the album and worth the price of the collection in itself. The country/western tune, “Love is stronger than justice (The Munificent Seven)” leads the second side, taking a sharp twist in musical direction from “shape of my heart.” It remains a mediocre tune, even when sung in concert to a rowdier and more playful beat Slowing down once again, Sting recycles “It’s Probably Me” a tune recorded for both his most recent album and the soundtrack to “Lethal Weapon 3.” This song is intensified bythe crowd in a concert hall, in the same way that “Shape of my heart” is. It’s a mellow song about a hero or herione, monogamous love and undying dedication. However, don’t enjoy the serenity too long because the roller coaster surges onward and the beat picks up for the last tune in the cotlection. The tape closes with Sting’s rendition of “A day in the Life”, written by john Lennon and Paul McCarthey. It’s an abrupt rendition and at times sounds as though Sting is shouting rather than singing. I wish he hadn’t attempted to redo a Beatles tune, because as the old adage goes “If ti ain’t b&e, don’t fix it” It was a whip lash finale to a musical amusement park ride. *‘Demolition Man” is a soundtrack which grows on you after several listenings, ar Ij despite the random and relatively clumsy placement of music, it is a jaurney well worth taking.

Perhaps a more appropriate title for this album would be Love Songs for Cynical People rather than Altered Beust. In either case, this is definitely one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time. To be honest, I know next to nothing about Matthew Sweet’s previously released music, except that he had an exceedingly irritating video for a song called Girlfriend, which was released about a year ago. Apparently, he also has three other albums to his credit. ff the music contained on Altered Beast is any indication, it would definitely be worth while to go and seek out old Sweet albums, because this is one incredible disc. Sweet’s music covers an expan-

The Cranes may well be the best band on the planet right now. They rose to international prominance last year by opening for the Cure on their Wish world tour. The music ofjim Shaw is brilliant and mesmerizing, and his sister Allison has, quite honestly, the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life. If you have never heard of this band before, do yourself a favour and pick up one of their albums or singles and check it out. The latest single from the Cranes features four tracks, three of which are available on their
sive range of styles, from (neo?) gfunge to country-folkish type songs to rock pop to Some really delicate ballads (I mean delicate in a sort of fragile way (I mean that in a good way)). Highlights include the insidiously catchy ‘Time Capsule’, ‘Evergreen’, which, despite its title, is (thankfully!!) not about environmentalism, but religious disillusionment, and the rather morose ‘Someone to Pull the Trigger’. Lyrically, Sweet is one depressed/sick/irritated puppy. His views on love are destructive (“Love ‘that’s bad/Is better than none/You know-breaking up is half of the fun”), vengeful (“I can understand you’re living in a prison/l kno w you can only see me as a vision”), and, above all, love is something which is pretty darn pathetic. Although Sweet’s lyrics are constantly ingenious, one can’t help but feeling that he’s whining just a bit too much too be heatthy. There is an anomaly among Sweet’s barrage of cynicism and wrath, stuck at the end of part one (for some esoteric reason, Sweet divides Altered Beast into two parts): a little ditty called ‘Life Without You’, the one really hopeful song on the entire CD. Although it’s a good song, it slightly weakens the theme which he’s beautifully set up with the other tracks on the album. One of the album’s few weaknesses. I suppose all the above can be summed up thusly: Matthew Sweet’s Altered f3eost Buy it Enjo);.
Remember Gowan? Probably most of you thought (or hoped) that he dropped off the side of the world. Well he’s back, but as Lawrence Gowan. Not only does he use his full name (that he pokes fun at on the title of his CD), but he-also has a new sound. In this age of going “unplugged”, Gowan relies heavily on the acoustic guitar, which really works on this album. This new album reflects nothing from Strange Animal or his last album Brotherhood which was a total flop. I had to give this CD a couple of listens before I developed a real liking for it. This is partially because I needed an adjustment period for Gowan’s new sound, (A few beers also helped.) “When There’s Time (For Love)” is the first single, and if you like this tune you will probably enjoythis album. It is pretty mellow but does haveanumberofcatchytunes. I particularly Ii ke “Your Stone Walls”, “Sou I’s Road”, “Last Laugh” which features a duet with A&w artist Jann Arden, and “Dancing On My Own Ground” which I presume deals with Gowan’s return to the music scene. However, beware of some cheesy, and endless rhyming lyrics that linger throughout the songs. I would classify Gowan’s latest, as one of those albums that you make out with your girlfriend! boyfriend to. Don’t mistake me though, it is a good album that is worth a listen.
latest album Forever, but are in radically different form here. The ‘jewel” track itself is definitely the best on the C.D. It is a twelve inch version, remixed by Robert Smith of the Cure and Bryan “Chuck” New. Smith’s influence is apparent here in the bass sound and extraguitarparts. Unlike thetraditional drum sound behind the album version, this one features a beat box instead. It is a really cool alternative to the Cranes’ norm, and easy to get into. The next song is the “ultra slim fast mix ” of “Clear”, remixed by JG. Thirwell. This song also features a drum machine, but other than that it is very Cranes-ish. This is another good one. “Leave her to Heaven II ” is the only song on this single that is not available on Forever, and the only one mixed by the Cranes themselves. It’s a very light song that leaves a favourable impression with the listener. Finally, the last track is a “thais” mix of “Cloudless “, remixed by Ivo Watts Russell and John Fryer. This is the only song on the C.D. that tends to drag a bit, lasting well over seven minutes. This single is a real Jewel, so to speak. It deserves to be hard. Go buy it.

Listening to the new Stereolab album, the name of which I shall not repeat in the interest of preserving space is exactly like spending fourhundred and eighty seven days listening to music straight It really isn’t the easiest thing in the world to listen to all at one sittinn. Which isn’t to say that it is a bad album. It is j&t complicated, and not very easily digested. How do we describe the music within? Well, all of the music that you would hear in that space of four-hundred and eighty-seven and a * half days consists of quite a wide range of styles and elements. Stereolab performs the unbelievable task of taking every sound you’ll ever hear in eighty years, from gun-shots to the silence of dreams, and placing them in a pure, if a little quirky pop context. You want influences? You want “Sounds like...?” Okay. Stereotab sounds like Curve went over to Lou Reed’s house one afternoon, sipping at mushroom tea, and listening to His Name is Alive over and over again. Then they all went and formed a band called Stereolab. Yep. That’s what it sounds like. There’s a great song called Jenny Ondioline, which, 61 the greatest Floydian tradition, runs at eighteen minutes in length. I’d like to quote what it says about this song in the liner notes: u J E N N Y
ONDIOLINE .-Music and background noise tests, for confirming secure tracking of a pickup that has been set up with the aid of other tests and the acceptability ofequipment noise.” subconscious through various media, from the live concert to television it is rather an incredible amount. Let’s say that we hear music for one minute of every hour we are alive. When one thinks about how many different places we hear music, it really is a conservative estimate. Consider then, if you will please, that we live for an average of roughly eighty years. This means that we spend four hundred and eighty-seven and a half days straight hearing non-stop music. This translates to roughly a year and a half. That’s a lot of tunes.
Yep. That’s what it says. To steal a phrase from my egotistical friend at the flower-shop, this is definitely music for advanced listeners. It is not a party album, and not an album to be listened to in the company of anyone but those extremely like minded people who are also advanced listeners. The sound is intense to say the least. But then again, so is life. And anyways, at least half of the album is pleasant and mellow. Just like life. At least for that year and a half that each of us must spend listening to the very music of our souls. The great Stereolab bf life.

Man Short Cuts by Ruymond Curver Vinmge, $ IO, I 57 pgs. By Ken Imprint
Bryson St@
Guy Vanderhaeghe once wrote a story entitled Man Descending, in which the male protaganist is helplessly losing control over his life and self. For the most pan the reader becomes a partner in his angst and hovers with him in self doubt and existential cliff hanging. The story works, then, simply because the reader is held right there, at the same moment of consciousness as the man himself. The reader just can’t let go of those feelings. Raymond Carver writes the same, nerve gripping and bowel grinding style fiction. I would call it visceral but that visceral is not even strong enough. Carver’s stories slid into the very cracks you are unaware of when you read, those spaces where you let down your guard because the story seems so innocent and harmless at first. They seem to be unassuming and revolve around damn ordinary people. And then, as always happens in real life, things get weird. Not in the sense that aliens come down or anything, but weird in a way that is entirely believable, honest, and frightening.

What is with the movies coming out of Hollywood this year? Why can’t they make any simple “this is the good guy/ this is the bad guy” kind of films? Every movie I’ve seen in the past few months has left me stunned and staggering with all its plot twists: The Firm,
Short Cuts, then, is a collection of these same engrossing stories, only they were never intended by Carver to appear together. You see, Carver died a few years ago and Short Cuts, the book, contains the stories which director Robert Altman (The player) has pulled together intending to make a film of. Which he has. While the film is due to be released sometime soon, we already have the book, and it alone is worth the money anyone would charge for it. Each of the stories in the collection revolve around the relationships between a man and a woman (to put it broadly). In most, the man struggles to define himself and find a reason for the state of his life (most often fucked up, but also just plain bizarre). In a few, the women take the primary role and wonder about why their men are the way they are. In “Will you please be quiet, please?” the male is forced to deal with his wife’s infidelity (one time two years before the story takes place). In “So much water so close to home,” the woman cannot come to grips with her husband’s self-righteous, defensive behaviour surrounding a dead girl’s body he found, and left for a few days because he would rather fish than deal with it (“she was.dead!“). Admittedly, of all the ways the men deal with their problems, none of

down here at the Imprint are feeling just a little wild and crazy, answering an ultra-easy trivia question, (remember, the word from the same root as trivial) you can win one of TEN, count passes to see the new Hollywood bustagut comedy called the Beverly Hillbillies, starring none other than Dabney Coleman, of Cloak and Dagger fame. And if this weren’t enough, the first five winners will also receive, absolutely free of charge, a big and beautiful Beverly Hillbillies poster, suitable for framing, cuz it has the dreamy Dabney on the front yet? You should be, because here’s the best part. The question:

but--horrors!--herotherovatymayrupture too. Against the advice of his peers, the good doctor Jed (Alec Baldwin) removes the ovary, alongwith all chances of Tracy bearing the children she desperately wants. Alongside the main plot is a bewildering subplot about a serial rapist on the loose that had, for the life of me, absolutely nothing to do with the main story. All it succeeded in doing was confusing me and making me wonder if I had walked into the right theatre. Where’s that great scene they show on the trailers on TV? Where’s the *‘The question is do I have a God compl6x...Let me tell you something: I AM God.“? The only thing that comes from this messy little side plot is a sperm sample. For it is this sperm that reveals that Andy is sterile and thus unable to have made his wife pregnant. The rest of the movie has Andy chasing his wife through torrential rains. (Why does it never sprinkle in movies? Why does it always have to POUR cats and dogs?) Now the story begins to unfoId; and what a story it is. Plot twist after plot twist later, my head was left reeling. As I tried to describe it to my mother (a woman who only goes to see movies like “Howard’s End” and “The Age of Innocence”), she was reduced to conniptions of laughter at the absurdity of it all. “Why do you waste your money, Angela!” But I’m sorry to say that I don’t think that Malice was a waste at all; I thought it was great. Alec Baldwin was surprisingly impressive and Anne Bancroft puts on a wonderful performance as a bitter drunk. Even Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith from Cheers) playing -surprise! --an expressionless stoic (with a cheesy, uneven Boston accent) wasn’t bad. I gotta say, I’d recommend Malice for an evening of surprises. So it’s typical Hollywood fluff. Is that so wrong?
If that has stumped you, here’s a clue: She was also in an episode of Green Acres. EASY HUH? So, to receive your beautiful poster and pass, just run down to the Imprint office, here in tie heart of the aesthetically pleasing Campus Centre (room 140), and give us your best guess. The first ten people with right answers, or reasonable guesses will WIN!!!!!!!!!!

them are close to ideal or maybe even proper, but that is what makes them all the more realistic and gripping. People fuck up, and hardly ever is there a happy ending. In fact, Carver’s endings tend towards the obscure and endless. Closure is not a thing of the non-fictional world, and so Carver has little use for it Life goes on, people are fucked, life goes on. Of particular note is “A small, good thing,” which is set at the hospital bed of the couple’s dying boy. It was the boy’s birthday and he was hit by a car+ He is in a coma. The parents are beside the bed going out of their minds because the doctor insists that the boy will come to any minute. Of course the boy doesn’t and that angst felt by the parents thickens the pages with emotion, capturing the reader in their pain. And that is what Carver does so well, capture the reader. You have no choice but to fall into the story as if you were the man or woman involved. You are there, a part of it, enthralled. You have to read it to be there. So go out and buy this book, or at least get any Carver collection out of the library, you might not agree with the character’s life choices, but you will understand, understand that iometimes people aren’t perfect. Don’t count on the movie being as good as the book; it never happens.

of the
The movie has a certain yin-yung Weltinschauung where the film begins in the light with innocent university students, is followed by the eventuality of prophecy which ends in the darkness of a destruction that would make Godzilla cringe.

nowsbowingatthePrincesscinemanightly until Oceer II Urotsukidoji, the unpronouncable animated gratuitous sex and violence film has come to Waterloo with somewhat of a reputation preceding it: banned in B.C. It is in fact a wide, weird, all-over-the-place ex._ treme apocalyptic fantasy full of monsters and mutated bodies fucking virgin rape destruction of the world beyond anything presentable in a live action film. Go in with an extremely open mind. Even then it’s not for everybody. The story begins with the announcementthat we share our universe with two other worlds: the world of the demons and the world of the man-beasts. Every three thousand years a superbeing is born into the world of the humans whose legacy it is to unite the three worlds and create a peaceful utopia... apparently... as the legend is interpreted.
Horny teenagers become demons and superbeings, power players watch and try to understand the unravelling of the prophecy, magical warriors use all of their power to destroy each other. The angry/ immature creator and destroyer appears, and we don’t know
what to make of him/her. What’s it gonna do? Most of the violence in this movie is garish and extremely disgusting, more so than the Evil Dead movies. Instead, there’s something White Zombie about this movie: b-movie horror kitsch, bad dialogue and moaning over cheery Casio-organ music with thrash industrial sensibilities (in fact White Zombie sample the sound of the desiruction of the world for the beginning of their album. Deep, man). In the movie, the demons have phallic tenticles coming out every inch of their bodies, eyeballs fall out of heads, there is blood and sperm and ooze everywhere, vaginas grow out ofthe sides of buildings and give birth to hellions, young virgins are destroyed in an intense flash of all-consuming orgasm, souls are sucked into the rabid protoplasm of the high evolutionary. Mount Fuji is destroyed in an atomic explosion, and Osaka castle is flattened. While the degradation of all living things in the most graphic visual terms and all the unnec&s&y rape can’t really be defended morally, it’s at least good to know that this is an animated c\rn. I worry more about someone thinking it’s based on a conceivable reality and either revelling in it or calling it unholy. That would be very frightening indeed.

To ky,o the iron rice bowl to the heaven/hell of capitalism is the route that the charactersofthismovie havetaken,andAbout Love Tokyo documents how it affects them. The movie deals with a half dozen characters, but focuses on a Chinese student and his beautiful bornin-Japan Chinese girlfriend. She’s considered by the Japanese to be Chinese, eventhough she’s never been to China and barely speaks Chinese. When he’s caught cheating at a gambling machine, the casino’s yakuza boss threatens to have him deported; the price for silence is his girlfriend. He “rents” her to the gangster, and as a result both of them roll in dough. At the same time, the wife of one of the students takes a rich lover and develops a greater love for money and Japanese society than for her husband. Both women are moneymakers for their men, but both couples have different fates. The film does a good job of portraying the lives of a dozen students in Japan. You learn the commonplace routine of their existence as the film slowly builds momentum, introducing trauma, conflict and corruption. At the same time, the audience should be able to distinguish Japanese from Chinese as it is important in digesting this bilingual movie. While the Chinese and the Japanese in the movie look similar to Western audiences,the truth is that there are very marked differences in how they view each other and themselves. As a result the movie is full of slurs where people’s work habits, hygiene and potency are insulted. Both Chinese and Japanese characters have systems of honour and pride, but they can’t concede any to the other in what is ultimately a face-saving or facegaining contest About Love royko is a human movie in its attempt to portray young people living in the u&human environment of the city. It crushes some, empowers others, and turns others into bad peaple, but at the same time it also has a way of stripping people to their most basic qualities where they can get to know themselves as winners or losers.

The
Fourth Horseman by Andrew Nikifiruk Penguin, ZOOpgs, $ I 3.99
by Cruig Imprint
Nickerson stc@
Subtitled “A short history of epidemics, plagues, famine and other scourges,” The Fourth Horseman is not a book for the meek Andrew Nikiforuk has written a terse but explicit account of the social and biological effects of the most deadly diseases that have ever plagued humanity. Partly due to the fascinating nature of the subject-as well as the author’s direct and often cynical approach, chapters devoted to leprosy, the Black Death and syphilis prove highly readable. The Fourth Horsemen is a dark treasure trove of macabre historical facts. Despite its unconventional approach, The Fourth HorseMOII also carries an important and sombre message. The author’s main aim is to demonstrate that massive outbreaks of disease are not simply the result of the random whims of nature. As you read from chapter to chapter, it becomes clear that there is a pattern linking the origins of plagues from one age to the next. This book reads like the history of an endless struggle between an inbacterial creasingly resilient superorganism and the human immune system. Human activity serves to provoke this superorganism into achieving an ever greater ability to wreak havoc with the gene pool. Careless sex, lack of hygiene and tourism are all open invitations for an epidemic. The bodies of the huddled, unwashed and malnourished poor are to bacteria what

cuous gay sex amongst males was likely a major factor. He bases part of his argument on the work of Dr. Joseph Sonnabend: “Given the revolutionary changes in sexual behaviourthat took place among American gays in the 1970’s, Sonnabend is not surprised that the AIDS epidemic appeared in New York and San Francisco first. Having all kinds of sex with lots of different men is a highly efficient way of pumping immune suppressor into the body. ‘When promiscuity becomes a means of transmitting everything that can be transmitted between people, there are biological consequences,’ says Sonnabend. The question is not one of behaviour but one of scale. One or two naked people can cavort safely in a pool but a hundred will eventually pollute the water. ‘It’s a critical mass thing. I know it’s not new.“’ The Fourth Horseman does not offer much hope that scientists will find a cure for AIDS, though there has been some success in treating some of its more recognizable component features. In the past, similar diseases ran their course and died down according to their own natural cycle. Prevention seems to be the key and the author argues that this is best accomplished by promoting better diet and living conditions amongst the poor and overcrowded, as well as common sense attitudes towards hygiene, drug use, and safer sex. The fourth Horsemun is an uncompromising account of humanity’s intimate relationship with pestilence and death. I highly recommend it.
