These will then be submitted as part of Battae’s Treasurer’s Report to the next Board bf Governors for final approval. While unlikely, according to Coleman, it is possible that ancillary fees could start with the next Spring term, on May I, 1994. She credits herself and Phillips for delaying the probable implementation date until September I. Neither Banks nor Battae would speculate on when or how an ancillary fee could be implemented. The current expectation from student leaders is that the operating cost from one year would determine the ancillary fee charged the next. The numbers used currently are from the university’s I 99 I ! I992 budget. Ancillary fees are a large concern among many student organizations, who see it as a form of ‘*back-door tuition hike,“and Coleman agrees that it is a grave concern. The Ontario government has released some guidelines about what services can be “charged” to students, but they are

Committee (AFC) has placed itself in hiatus while Catherine Coleman, president of the Federation of Students, and Duncan Phillips, president of the Graduate Student Association (GSA), consult student opinion about anticipated ancillary fees for next fall. The AFC is expecting to resume discussions in early to mid-February, and there is some speculation that their recommendati’ons could go to the Board of Governors by March. The AFC is an advisorycommittee set up by the university to oversee all student spending, from tuition to Fed fees. Currently, however, they are focussed almost exclusively on what, if any, student services should be covered by a compulsory university administered ancillary fee.

Ground breaking is set to begin “any day now”, according to John Leddy, project supervisor for the construction. After that foundations can be laid. Construction has so far been limited to the setting up of a huge plywood fence, which inconveniently limits access to the Campus Centre, but also leads to a new UW pasttime: graffiti. Besides the construction of the perimeter, the only other work that has been done so far is some demolition to the rooms facing the MC building. The new complex will eventually be three stories tall. The basement will connect the PAC to the Campus Centre’s lower level, the ground floor will join the PAC and Campus Centre ground floors, and there will be a separate second storey. The new structure will have clubrooms, a main floor food court, and a large general room that will house speakers, movie nights, and sales sucfr ar the lmaginus poster show. lmaginus and arts and crafts sales will no longer be held in the Great Hall, and student lounging will no longer be disturbed by commercial enterprises.

C The University of Waterloo has made selective improvements to its coop placement system in an effort to speed up the process and make more jobs available for students. The changes will take effect for the upcoming winter placement activity, beginning mid-Januw* UW officials expect the improvements will give students more timely information as they progress through the placement process, plus save time and increase efficiency. The placement process traditionally takes place three times each year, in the fall, winter, and spring, for approximatdy9,OOO undergraduates registered in co-op studies. UW’s co-op system, which alternates on-campus terms of study with work terms in the job market, is the oldest in Canada and the largest in the world. “Waterloo’s co-op system has traditionally been the best available,” said Robin Banks, Associate Provost, Academic Affairs. “Students who graduate from Waterloo with a co-op degree have an advantage and are recognized as desirable employees. Our aim is to make the placement system better and friendlier for both students and employers, to get m&e jobs into the system, and to underline the many benefits of the co-op experience at UW.” The refinements were arrived at through a year-long process of planning, and consulting with student groups and employers. The placement process will take place much earlier in the term. The rank/match interview period will occur January 3 I to February I6 this year compared to February IO to March 5 last year. Students will also know placement results much sooner beginning February I8 compared to March 5 last year. There wilt be a significant reduction in the turnaround time from when a job opening arrives to when it is filled by a student. New computer applications, to be introduced later this winter, will improve the placement process and save time for students, employers and coop staff. Under the new system, job descriptions arid interview schedules witI be accessible on-line froin a number of computer terminals on campus. One by-product of this change is that students won’t have to crowd into the Needler Hall offices of Cooperative Education and Career Services to scan the bulletin boards for jobs and interview schedules. Students are already using a new manual resume drop-off, introduced last year. This so-called “bin system” for depositing resumes, allows resume information to be sent to employers several weeks earlier. “We recognized that the poor economy was playing havoc with our system which was simply too slow. Students were having to wait longer and longer to hear if they had a job, sometimes into the job term itself,” Banks said. “We definitely needed to speed up the process so that we could spend more time on placing students left unplaced after the first match-ups.” Early last year the university contemplated moving completely away from the rank/match system and adopting a full-scale “continuous placement

The guy on the lef has forgotten system.” In theory this would have provided a system allowing employers to come in on a first-come, first-served basis. Employers would make offers and students would get placed. Several employers indicated, however, that they wanted access to all available students (as they do in a batch system) and many students wanted the facility to choose from a variety of jobs as they do in a batch system. A “continuous placement” pilot study had results that caused concern as well; in particular, students felt they were pressured to select a job which was not as desirable as one for which an offer may have been given later in the process. “We had the potential for a lot of needless confusion because the continuous placement system assumes that job postings and interviews happen simultaneously,” said Bruce Lumsden, Interim Director of Co-operative Education and Career Services. was possible for students to have a number of resumes floating around after having already accepted a job. With the large number of students we have in co-op, it could have been chaotic, especially for our employers who rely on the information they receive at all points in the process.” As in the past, students will be informed if they are ranked or not by

Beginning this term, however, they will also know which employers have given them an offer (i.e. ranked them # I). “It’s still a very difficult job market, but we have to remind ourselves that despite our current difficulties, Waterloo’s overall co-op experience and the prestige that comes with being a UW co-op student is unmatchedanywhere,” Lumsden said. The system will continue to be monitored on an on-going basis with the aim of making steady improvements. “We are committed to the goals of becoming more efficient, getting more jobs and better jobs for our students,” Lumdsen stated. In addition to streamlining the placement process, UW staff is trying to establish new and better networks to find jobs. The small business market has not been a strong job creation area in the past because so many of UW’s jobs came from large companies. But those large companies have been hit hard by the recession, and have eliminated many co-op jobs. “We need to concentrate more on that small business area, and on links with our stakeholders, such as UW’s 78,000 alumni worldwide,” said Lumsden.

ast Monday, the Graduate Student’s Association Board of Di rectors moved to dismiss the results of last November’s referendum on a controversial dental plan. The mail-in ballot was valid, but sparked a storm of protest from grad students upset with the result. Fifty-four per cent of the graduate students who responded voted in favour of the plan, and 34.5 per cent voted against However, with only 26 per cent of the 18 IO mailed ballots returned, the dental plan was approved by less than I5 per cent of the GSA body. Presented with petitions of 3 I9 names against adopting the dental plan, the GSA board decided at their January meeting to effectively ignore the results from the first referendum. The GSA executive recommended a new reiercndum on the issue to the board,
though the board was not bound to hold a second one. The second referendum is tentatively slated for next April, and will again be a mail-in ballot. The board’s motions specify thar the final questions for the next referendum must be ready by their next meeting, in early February.
Less than 15 per cent of Grads voted in favour of the proposed dental plan. Only 26 per cent of the ballots were returned. Along with the “yes/no” of the first referendum, Duncan Phillips, GSA president, wants several other options available. Options, he claimed, were not available at the time of the first referendum because the GSA “didn’t think of it,” and the insurance company presented ready-made plans, not a series of options. If the second referendum fails to
get a response from at least I 5 per cent of the grads, the board will use the results from the first one. Complaints about the first referendum included the amount of information, a lack of options to choose from, and questions about the necessity of a dental plan. Some opponents claim that a dental visit costs most $100, while the GSA plan would cost $ I7 I a year to cover a single visit and 80 per cent of any periodontics or endodontics costs, and grads could not “opt out.” The GSA board hopes to address these and other issues with the next referendum, and will postpone it until June if necessary to make sure that the grad’s concerns are met. According to Phillips, the second referendum will have “a better alternative to the yea and nay last time.”

open to a wide amount of interpretation. The AFC, in turn, developed “Principles Guiding the Calculation of A Fee for Student Services,” which lays out the logic for deciding which services will be charged to students, and which the university will continue to pay for. A “confidential” memo circulated by Sob Truman in February, 1993, to Peter Hopkins, Alan George, and Jim Kalbfleisch stated that “an amount in the order of $3 million per year might be recoverable from students” at UW, and suggested a fee of $ I 00 per student per term.

14, 1994
Fees cember 15, 1993, refers to ancillary fees as a revenue source similar to tuition, but does not specify the amount of these funds, nor whether they would be used exclusively for student services or other university projects. Phillips noted that the AFC has removed a large number of services from the discussion list, which is close to being final. While certain aspects are still disputed, some, such as the Theatre of the Arts, Career Services, and Campus Ret will almost certainly be covered at least in part by some form of ancillary fee. A highly disputed area is the cost of “student services management,” which is largely used by students. UW wants the ancillary fee to
help “recover” its expenditures, while Coleman and Phillips feel that the university should automatically absorb the cost, and have “grave concerns“ about paying for it. Due to the complexity of breaking them down to specifics, Coleman referred to the numbers debated as”sott of arbitrary.” She and Phillips see themselves as trying to deal philosophically with what students should pay for and what universities should provide. Neither like the idea of ancillary fees, but according to Phillips, “if it’s happening, someone’s gotta be there.” Coleman notes that at Western student consultation was little more than a quick inthe-hallway meeting the day before implementation. The next stage in developing the AFC’s recommendations is soliciting student opinion. Currently, Coleman has had virtually no student feedback about ancillary fees. A letter was sent January 5 to all society leaders (Math
Sot, Village residences, etc.) extending the invitation for her to come and make a presentation concerningancillaryfees, but she has received no response so far. The Feds are planning on hosting several open forums on the issue in the near future, however, and are looking for student response. Phillips, however, has received some feedback: at the January GSA Board of Directors meeting, some board members questioned his role on the AFC, and how freely he could operate on behalf of the GSA. The board passed a motion endorsing Phillips’ presence on the AFC, and directed him to get their consent before approving a final set of recommendations. Phillips remarked at one point that this was a “bullshit resolution,” as “there’s no damn way in hell I’d approve anything” without the board’s approval. The GSA is also planning on hosting a forum about. the ancillary fee sometime in February.
After gathering student opinion, the AFC will determine specifics for the services covered by an ancillary fee, especially whether they will have a “user-pay” or an “all-pay” format, or a combination. User-pay means the students actually using the service would bear the brunt of the cost, like Health and Safety currently. All-pay shares the cost of the service among all students, much like the co-op fee applies to all co-op students, regardless of how many co-op services they use or their employment success. Another on-going function of the AFC is the establishment of a Student Services Advisory Committee (SSAC). This will, once the ancillary fee is finalised, review it and ali other non-academic student services. While only “advisory,” any recommendations from the SSAC would be “hard” for the Provost to ignore, according to Battae: “it depends on how you view the word ‘binding.“’

Have you ever wondered what the Social Issues Board does? Most of the time, we try to think of ways to educate YOU, the studeitt, Some of our mandated issues are race and ethnic relations, AIDS and alcohol (BACCHUS) awareness, and the environment. But we are not limited to these issues. In other words, if it’s a social issue (affecting people) we can promote it Not only do we have many interesting issues to cover, we also have a budget (i.e. MONEY for promoting events and speakers). The only thing missing is YOU. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS DESPERATELY! Some events planned for this term include the creation of a STUDENT FOOD BANK and a series of seminars on healthy living dealing with topics such as smoking, nutrition, stress, body image, and eating disorders. We need HELP planning these issues and we need VOLUNTEERS plan other activities as well.
Acting funny and you don’t know why? Come on down and meet some friends.
re co-op students
sexually harassed on their work terms?
A survey distributed by the Gender issues Board (CIB) on sexual hat= assment asked just that, but the answers were less than decisive, with only 5 per cent of the 3000 students who received the survey responding. Those who did voluntarily respond to the survey showed that 69.8 per cent were not harassed, but of those who were, 22.7 per cent had experi-

The majority of the offenses were unwelcome and offensive verbal comments. The survey did not ask whether the harassment had been committed by co-workers or supervisors. “Waterloo is so unique because of its co-op system... we want to see how our students feel [in the workplace],” said Sharon Flood, Federation vice-president, university affairs. A major concern that she shares with her colleagues is that many students are not prepared enough for the work place. She feels that students need to be forewarned about some of the issues that they may face in the work environment and taught how t0 deal with them. Of those respondents who were

Sexual harassment was defined by the survey as “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that impacts on em-
ployment.” Examples given included vulgar comments, distasteful jokes, unwelcome physical contact, and the display of offensive pictures. The GIB hopes to launch other surveys on sexual harassment in the future, refining their questions and method of distributing the question-

So now the university wants to charge us new fees for the services we receive, forcing us to examine chose services and decide which ones we truly need and which ones are unnecessary. Fine, I think that is possible. It is also possible, however, to survey the services our Federation of Students provide us and decide which of those is necessary and which not so. Do the Feds spend their money wisely? Do we get what we pay for out of the Federation of Students? Well, I think there are few services that we could examine. Take the safety van for example. The idea of the safety van is to provide safe, free transportation to students (predominantly female) who feel they are at risk of assault if they walk or take the bu; home instead. And that is a fine ideal. However, I have two questions. First, is this really the reason why the majority of students who take the van use the servicei And second, if the answer to question one is no, then is there a more efficient way cut the risk of those concerned students actually being assaulted? My answer to the first question is, you guessed it, no. Certainly some of the people who take thevan are genuinely concerned about their safety, but many simply see the van as a free ride home and a protector from the elements. Having been a driver of the safety van at one point in my life, I did notice that the number of people using the van greatly increased when the elements threw obstacles in their path. Also, ridership in the van suddenly increases during the winter, when there is three feet of snow to corn bat. Maybe it is just me, but I don’t believe that many m&gers and rapists get off on really cold miserable weather. Which is not to deny anyone their legitimate concerns of personal safety, but the van is currently not being used for its main purpose. Also the Feds currently spend approximately $40 000 dollars per year to run the safety van, which can transport a maximum of I40 students home in one night. If we consider that 140 students is really less than one per cent of one per cent (0.0093% to be exact) of the undergraduate student population, we realize that this is hardly an efficient way of protecting the student population. Needless to say, if the safety van really was the best way to protect students, how can we justify not providing the service to every student on campus! What makes those I40 students more important than the other I4 860? Nothing really. It is just that they want a ride home and there is one availabIe. The protection of those 140 people is not really what is at stake here, however. That $40 000 dollars is really earmarked for political expediency -the Feds cannot afford not to spend that money lest they be considered insensitive to the safety needs of students. The cost of scrapping the service would be too great politically for any administration to work down. So what can we do? The service is inefficient; the cost of scrapping the sewice is too great. But there is an alternative. If the Feds would simply charge one dollar to each person that took the safety van each time they took it (cheaper than the bus), they would gain back much more than $40 000 per year. ($ I40 per night - $ I400 per week - upwards of $ IO0 000 per year, including the fact that the van almost never runs at capacity every night summer and winter) So perhaps there is a worthwhile service fee after all. Simply stop subsidising the safety van with IS 000 students’ money and charge the users a dollar a ride. If they really need the service, they will payIf not, we’ll really see who uses the van for expediency and who uses it purely for safety. Sure it may just turn into a cheap bus for lazy students, but isn’t that what it already is?

Moralitv
and the free market
u
What the hell is a moral anyway? From my education in both the public and catholic school systems of Scarborough (that pit of drug dealers and prostitutes) a moral seems to be some ethical standard that everyone should aspire to. This is just what I can infer, as no one ever actually defined the term for me. This is pretty surprising, considering the numbers of times and the number of people from whom I’ve heard the word. Even my.inference is vague’, as no one ever defined ethics for me either. If we can accept that a moral is good and that something immoral is bad, we can start getting somewhere. Of course, here we run into the problem of defining good. How can such a popular word, used by politicians, judges, and holy men be so undefined? Because that’s how it is most useful. Imagine the power of a word that everyone thinks they know what it means but no one is exactly sure. By branding something immoral, it is perceived as anything from evil to sinful to depraved. By branding something moral, it is good or virtuous. The power invested in the concept of morality has not been lost on the lawmakers in our society. In the Toronto Star issue of Nov. 30, 1993, the issue of reproductive technolugy was discussed. There has been a fedeml commission to investigate this issue for quite some time now, and they have managed to spend 28.2 million dollars to tell us that this technology needs strict control. They base this decision on two things. The first is that Canadians told them they wanted it this way. ‘*Canadians told us they do not want market forces to determine how reproductive technologies are used.” And as always, I have to wonder who these Canadians are. Don’t get me wrong, I have no doubts that there are plenty of Canadians who like to be told what to do, but what makes me wonder is that I’m not one of the Canadians who told them. How many times have I heard that the generai
public
wants
this
or
that
and
how
many
times have I been asked anything? The answer is lots and none. I’m getting pretty fed up of not being asked. Perhaps this is why I frequently feel compelled to offer my opinions without request,
But
or perhaps it’s just my ego. that’s a question for another day. The second (and pertinent) reason that the commission has decided we need more laws is that morality demands it. “The government has a moral responsibility to act.” It is immoral to let “market forces” decide the use of this new technology? Good God! Marketforces decidingthings! This is of course absolutely ridiculous. Despite failing to pin down “moral”, I’m going to give “market forces” a try. I’d say a market force is determined by consumer choice. The only forces at work in the marketplace, other than unnecessary government intervention, are consumers. Me and you. By deciding what we want to buy and how much we are willing to pay for it, we decide what products will be offered, for how much they will be offered, who stays in business and who doesn’t. Now, the commission has erred in two ways. It has made a contradictory statement and an ideological mistake. I will deal with the former first The contradiction is that Canadians don’t want the technology running wild. They have apparently told the commission that it needs control. Well, since these Canadians are the market forces, they control the technology right now, in the unregulated (dare I say free) market. It is currently up to the general populace to decide how the technology is used. What could ever be closer to the democratic ideal? Every time someone make any sort of decision about whether or not to use this technology, how to use it, how much to pay fur it, etc., they are casting a vote for what sort of control they wish to have imposed on this technology. The second mistake relates to our original discussion of morals. To restrict anything on a “moral” basis is immoral. This is synonymous with restricting things on an ideological basis, or more simply, because you just don’t like them. Morality (that
oh-so-useful
it I-defined
term)
has
been
used
torture and murder for thousands of years. These days, morality is cited as a justification for censorship or oppressing Homosexuals. A moral oppression of new technologies
must never be permitted to occur. Look at the Amish. They consider technoiogy evil or immoral. While they are perfectly free to choose this for themselves, I ask you to consider the ramifications of this choice if it pertained to your life. Do you live within walking distance of the university, or do you drive or take a bus? Imagine how much of your day would be taken up if you had to walk everywhere you went. Where did you live before coming to UW? That’s probably quite a haul by horse and buggy. As it is now, I could go home every weekend if I wanted, and that just wouldn’t be possible without todays technology. Used any pharmaceutical products lately? Pharmaceutical products take very large amounts of technology to develop. Does your family farm? In undeveloped nations, the percentage of the population directly involved in agriculture goes up to 95%. In Canada, the rate is 4%. This is made possible by machinery, fertilizers, irrigation techniques and genetic engineering. All of these technologies and more are shunned by the Amish for moral reasons. Morals, while nebulous, have one definite characteristic. They are endlessly mutable. What was immoral once is moral today, and what is immoral today may well be moral tomorrow. John Stuart Mill recognized this more than I30 years ago when he said, “Every age has held many opinions which subsequent ages have deemed not only false but absurd; and it is as certain that many opinions, now general, will be rejected by future ages, as it is that many, once general, are rejected by the present” To restrict technologicat advance+ the source of food and health, to say the least, would be disastrous. To restrict it because Canadians want it controlled is ludicrous and to restrict it for moral reasons would be heinous. This technology, like any other, can sewe society best by being placed freely on the market, undtr the control of everyone. and oppressed by no one.

To the editor:
To the editor: So Justin Weiis believes that Karia Homoika is some sort of symbol of women’s increasing equality with men (Imprint, Jan. 7). Whenever 1 read demented statements like that, I like to pretend the writer is merely trying to provoke an outraged response. I will give Mr. Welts the benefit of the doubt that he is not realty advising women to victimize others in order to gain confidence and power. I am positive Mr. Welts doesn’t think that, if it weren’t for the fact that Karla Homolka is in JAIL, she would be a fabulous role model for women everywhere. Mr Welts, if you realty do believe that “as women gain more self-confidence they wilt become as violent as men are”, then you’d better start sleeping with one eye open. As for the fact that Mr. Welts so proudly boasts about having created ait.FAN.karla-homolka rather than the “less controversial” alt.TALK.karia-homoika, sarcasm eludes me -Justin Wells, you are an idiot if you think that being controversial makes you a hero. if it did, you can bet your image would be plastered on my waits, right alongside my Rush Limbaugh posters.

You had to render the letter unintelligible with misspelled words and gramaticai errors...At least these were my initial thoughts on reading the butcheredversion of the letter I submitted to the Imprint for publication. After reading your Metaphysical Education column I see that I owe you an apology. Some journalistic terrorist rendered your article unintelligible as welt as mine. I know that mine was correct before it was typeset...yours probably was also..but then again, don’t you do the typesetting... O/of

Editor’s note: I apologise. The “butchering” of your letter was entirely unintentional and compktely unfortunate. If you flip through the rest of bst week’s issue you will notice many many other typos and other mistakes which were caused solely because of first-paper-of-the-term disorgonisation and other related stresses.

The “Green Eggs and Ham” routine is getting a little stale. And, Humanities is no place to dance (or to sing, for that matter). Beyond this, the review is more of a partisan potshot than an attempt at artistic evaluation. I don’t know if you’ve ever sung four part unaccompanied vocal music, Kat, but I can tell you that it’s quite difficult A quartet of ours has been singing Moxy’s songs for fun, and it sure isn’t easy. If you’ve ever sung in the Humanites Theatre, you know that the sound drops off your tips and hits the I floor about three feet in front of you. The fact that they were able to sing the “Gulf War Song”, and have it heard clearly at the back of the theatre is nothing short of incredible. Many kudos to this group for their vocal talent, energy, ingenuity, and purpose. Moxy’s message is one of social commentary on various aspects of society. Since our economy is fairly capitalist, there’s bound to be a critique of shortcomings within this system. I didn’t hear any endorsement of the New Democratic Party. Nor is there evidence that an NDPgovernmentwouid bring the International Monetary Fund to our doorstep. There are three provincial NDP governments in Canada right now, and ail of them are pursuing fiscal conservative policies. Moreover, the BC government wotiidn’t win Moxy’s approval with their logging of old growth forest By putting a magnifying glass on our sociil problems, Moxy is helping us to find solutions, solutions that start with individuals, and ripple outward. Politicians, even with the best of intentions, cannot solve ail of our problems on their own. Politics as pop music? Sure. Music has always conveyed some message, and at times, it is a very political message. Union songs, national anthems, and protest songs are all trying to convey some message to the listener. Even Haydn’s Fareweii Symphony was designed togive a subtle hint to Haydn’s employer, Paul Esterhazy, that it was time for them to go home to their families. Moxy brings an exciting, original format tot he songs of political protest. The message behind the music is pat-t of the raison d’etre of thegroup. if you knew their message, and you couldn’t stomach it, then why did you attend the concert? It wouid be equally silty for Craig Nickerson to attend a Michael W. Smith concert, and complain about having Christian values shoved down his throat Let the people dance. Let them+ swoon. If life can’t be enjoyed after 17, then why are we stilt around? Listen to their message, and consider it carefully. A lot of it might be addressed to you.

Socially challenged To the editor: I was riding home on my mountain bike last term when I found myself in the middle of an awkward “situation”. Riding merrily along en route to ring road, under the bridge connecting two parts of the Davis Centre, I was forced to veer sharply in an attempt to avoid a hurried student. Had I not acted so quickly, this inattentive student would have had quite a reminder of this experience. Likely, a part of my bike would have implanted in the side of his leg. However, I did avoid becoming the “hitter” and, thankfully for me, became the “hittee”. I was noticeably irate. After all, bicyclists rarely get noticed and often find themselves in similar predicaments. My anger on this occasion, however, was re-directed. In that shoti time, I experienced dismay, frustration, resentment and disgust and it was ail directed at society. You see, the “hurried student’* was in a motorized wheeichair. I must admit, some of the feelings that rushed through me were directed at myself. Instead of letting the student know how I feit, I just cast a nasty look
t had the right-of-way. 1made the attempt to avoid the accident. I also committed the social crime that I’m attempting to condemn. i alluded to my relief earlier at being hit by the student. I can only imagine if 1 had driven into the student that the “victim” label would have been compounded. I might have even received disapproving comments. And,..1 would have been unprepared to handle it. Finally, to any of you who find yourself in a rush: Look both ways before you cross the street and remember everyone deserves to be treated equally.

NAFTA’s Our

government
An Economic
claimed that trade had nothing to do with human rights, so they negotiated and passed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Our new Liberal government sought protection from the NAFTA through side agreements and then allowed it to be proclaimed. What neither party has been able to recognize, however, is that, without an accompanying social charter, NAFTA entrenches a system in which corporate competitiveness (read profitability) takes priority over human rights. Unfortunately, the indigenous people of Chiapas in Southern Mexico are becoming the first victims of that system. Armed
Plan for
Chiaps
In the early I98Os, the Mexican government adopted a strategy for Mexico which deeply affected Chiapas. Partly in response to a severe external debt problem, and partly due to the ideological schooling of its leaders in the United States, Mexico embarked on a policy of economic Ii beralization. A liberal trade policy would bring new investment into Mexico, particularly necessary in a region like Chiapas that, from a global economic point of view, was not maximizing the yield of its scarce natural resources. Partofeconomic liberalization included eliminating barriers to investment, which would attract more foreign agribusiness firms into the area, who in turn would employ the people of the area, thus raising their incomes and improving their standard of living.
Uprising
On January I, 1994, the day NAFTA took effea, a tag-tag group of rebels in Chiapas, calling themselves the apatista National liberation Army and citing NAFTA as a “‘death certificate for the Indian people of Mexico,” declared war on NAFTA is a “death certificate for the the Mexican government After a few days of Indian people of Mexico” success, the Mexican army stepped in and easily put down the insurgents. Now, while Mexican Ambassador to Ottawa In Mexico, one of the remaining barriers to Antonio Ocaranza brags about the Mexican govinvestment was the communal land-holding sysernment’s plan to “step up investment” in Chiapas, tem in which everyone had the right to a plot of those who protest that plan are being crushed in land. This right had been won by the Mexican a brutal fashion. Revolution of I9 IO and guaranteed in the Mexican Problems are not new for the people of Constitution. The government saw that farmers Chiapas, Land reforms following the Mexican on these small plots of land could not compete Revolution of I9 IO never were fully implemented with imports from large American agribusiness in this southern province of Mexico, allowing the firms. Mexico would need its own large majority of land to remain in the hands of the few agribusiness firms to be competitive. who also hold political power. I

nologies. This constitutional change combined with de-regulated trade only served to exacerbate the miseries of the indigenous peoples in Chiapas. Lower tariffs on American imports meant that Mexican producers of corn, the staple crop for most, were being undersold by larger, American corn farms. Unable to compete, I5,OOO peasants were forced off their land in the region of Chiapas alone, most of them Chamula Indians. With the introduction of NAFTA, their fate was sealed and the indigenous people of Chiapas were driven further into a global econcomic system, in which they wished to play no part, by a government that would calously strip them of everythingincluding hope.

Eeking out an existence as a wage slave, uprooted from land that was once part of a proud culture, and without a say in the decisions (economic and otherwise) that irrevocably affect your community, is what unfettered trade (of which NAFTA is a part) offers the majority of people throughout the Americas. Chiapas is a stark example of where the needs of a community of people bows to the desires of the new global marketplace and its invisible social charter - a careful look closer to home will reveal more subtle, but equally alarming examples.

Ramifications The legal struggle for land has been so long and arduous that some have ended up resorting to simply squating land.

As a pre-requisite to signing NAFTA, the Mexican government abolished the section of the Constitution which had prohibited the sale of communal lands. A shameless sell-out of Mexicans’ right (symbolic, at least) to own communal land without losing it to banks or wealthy accumulaters, this move allowed large agro-export firms to buy up the small holdings of peasants and expand production using up-to-date tech-
To anyone familiar with this bit of history, the uprising and the swift and vicious response to it come as no surprise. Canadian human rights organizations like the Intet-Church Committee for Human Rights in Latin America (ICCHRLA) have been monitoring Mexico for years, and during last year’s very brief Parliamentary hearings on the NAFTA, warned the Canadian government of how Mexico was a police state, that human rights abuses were endemic, that Chiapas had the worst criminal code in the country and the worst record on human rights, and that matters could only deteriorate under NAFTA. of course, given the economic direction the Mexican government has chosen, it has little choice but to suppress human rights, because it has decided that the rights of corporations are a greater priority in the In the long run, those short run. same people who are oppressed now will presumably benefit, since they will eventually be employed at $.60/

So just how is the existence ofan omniscient, omnipoten,t and super swell god consistent with a world that features cancer, earthquakes, famine, war, birch defects, rape, insanity and a plethora of other miseries? God would certainly know about suffering and he would certainly have the ability to alleviate it but I doubt that we can expect any supernatural aid in the near or distant future. Actually, it is sort of odd that such agod would have permitted these evils in the first place. So how does one resolve the problem of evil.1 Nine times out of ten the theist will argue that god permits evil so that man might have free will. Now, it must first be made clear that the free will argument applies only to freedom of immoral action. We could have free will in other areas of activity while not possessing the ability to commit immoral acts. We would have the choice of every morally permissible action imaginable. The argument that the potential for evil is necessary in order for man to have free will also only applies to freedom of immoral action. Of course, it would likely be argued that freedom to commit immoral actions is important because this freedom gives moral actions their true meaning. This might, at first, seem plausible when we consider the moral evil that springs directly from human agents. The potential rapist is free to choose to refrain from rape only in so far as he has the potential to rape. If one does not have the potential to rape, then one is not refraining from rape qf one’s own free will. But, after all, god knows everything and he can do anything and it doesn’t seem impossible that he could have chosen to create only those beings, who, given the choice, would always refrain from evil actions. People would not be automatons, they would just be very wise people with strong moral character.
Of course, this might be perceived as paying lip service to free will rather than giving man any real choice... It is often argued that this world is only a testing ground for man. Temptation and a certain amount of suffering are necessary in order to give man a chance to choose god willingly. Man is quite free to choose rightly and stand at god’s side come judgement day, but he is also quite free to choose wrongly and suffer the painful consequences for eternity. God does not want to make man choose a particular path one way or the other but does offer a great incentive to do so as well as a very strong reason not to choose a different route. God wants you to choose to love him of your own free will and, believe me, there really is no other choice. Ya gotta love him! And Hihat about all those natural disasters? Is it necessary to have a volcano spit molten lava on your village so that man might have free will? Perhaps this could be justified on the grounds that such evils facilitate the possibility of finer goods such as courage and compassion. This might be argued by pointing out that tragedy often brings people closer together. I don’t know, this seems akin to arguing that the famines in Ethiopia were justified by Live Aid. You know, it really is a pity about all those starving people but Bono’s compassion really moved me! I wonder if it would be possible to sin in heaven. Things are supposed to be just fine there. As I understand it, heaven is not plagued by evil of any kind. Does one still possess free will after one has entered heaven! If so, then how is it impossible for god to give us free will and eliminate suffering? If not, why does the theist so desperately want to get to heaven if free will is SO important?

God: of the
There is no God but He (Allah), Most Merciful.” meaning of the Qur’anic verse
ISLAM: SUBMISSIONTO ALLAH by Khaled Sharaf Muslims believe that Islam is the eternal message which Allah sent to all prophets from the dawn of mankind, and not a new belief initiated by prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him] (PBUH), Thus, all prophets (PBUT) have called their nations for this true faith. In fact, the Qur’an states this clearly: ” We (Allah) assuredly sent amongst every people a messenger, with the Command): worship Allah and eschew Evil” [I 6:36]. Moreover, the Qur’an mentions the argument of those it said to them: Follow who disbelieve: ‘When what Allah has revealed. They say: Nay! we shall follow the ways of our fathers. What! even though their fathers were void of wisdom and guidance?” [Z: 1701. Such is the response of those who cannot produce any proof for their plea! So, what would be the intellectual approach to finding the truth?
lslam teaches that God has given humanity the faculty of reason and therefore expects him/ her to reason things out objectively and systematically for himself/herself, So, before one begins to form an opinion about Islam, s/he should ask her/himself whether her/his existing knowledge of Islam is thorough enough. In brief, to know about Islam, one needs to refer- to its reliable source (the Qur’an); Allah’s last message to mankind, which He (Allah) made it incumbent upon Himself to protect it against interpolation and corruption of all kinds: “Verily, We (Allah) have without doubt, sent down the Qur’an; and We will assuredly guard it” [15:9]. The word Islam was given by Allah Himself as written in the Qur’an: “The religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will)...” 13: 191. In another verse, Allah says: “This day l (Allah) have perfected your religion for you (the believers) and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion AL-ISLAM (The Surrender to Allah)...“[5:3]. Muslims believe in the One, Eternal God, who created the heavens and the earth and all that exists. In Arabic, God is called “Allah” the One True God who was worshiped by Abraham,

Moses and Jesus (PBUT). They all spoke about this One God and worshiped liim alone. Islam teaches a fundamental difference between Allah, the Creator 2nd that which He has created. The sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the animals and the excellence of the human mind, the alternation of day and night, the change of seasons, and the mystery of Life and death all point to something beyond, greater than themselves. To the believer, these are all signs of Allah.
Yet, Islam teaches that Allah is not to be likened to anything He has created: “There is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing and All-Seeing” 142: 1 I ]. He is All-Powerful, AllKnowing; He is beyond any imperfection, and is
the fulfillment of all Perfection “To Allah applies the highest similitude: for He is the Exalted in power, Full of Wisdom” [ 16601. He is not a far-away and distant God, nor is He an unapproachable ideal. He is All-Kind, AllMerciful, and All-Compassionate. , Muslims believe that Allah is Eternal. “He (Allah) is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward: and He is the Knower of all things”
[57:3].
The Qur’an
states Allah’s oneness
and
uniqueness: “Say (0’ Muhammad) He is Allah, the One and the Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him” [I 12: I-41. Islam rejects sharply the
concept
of incarnation
of God, which is found in
Hinduism, Christianity and other religions as it destroys His perfect attributes and contradicts what He (Allah) told us about Himself in the

“The reuson we’re here, every man, every women, is to love each other, take care ofeuch other.” -Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders)
by Ken Craig Early in December, December third to be exact, I attended the remembrance service for what is now known to us as “The Montreal Massacre” where fourteen women were shot and killed by one man who referred to them as “a bunch of feminists.” The reflections given by the speakers (mostly students) were all powerful personal statements concerning the immense social problem of violence against women. Every speaker’s integrity forced me, upon walking home that evening, to look into what I can contribute in our understanding and healing of a world which is in large part set up to oppress females. As a student of religious studies I believe that an understanding of religion is integral if we wish to understand the world we live in. Whether we are atheist or believer, and whether we like it or not, none of us here has been able to escape the influence of one or many of what we call “the world religions.” “seeps” into the very core
Because

of our cuJtures, it inadvertantiy plays a large rote in the shaping of our psyche and our outlook towards like and other people. When we examine the history of the world religions we find in all of them, both
a
eastern and western, elements, tendencies, and structures that are definately patriarchal and at times even misogynist. .This is not overly surprising because men have been, for the most part, the ones who created and gave the shape to the major religious traditions. For many women, the experience of the great religions is those religion’s use the language of “double speak”; at one moment telling them that liberation and salvation is open to all people, and in the next moment telling them that to be a women is to be a second-class citizen (often women are portrayed as “the” tempter that draws men awayfromTruthlGod/Nirvana, etc...) This sort of relating to women is now very prevalent in our secularized world which believes itself to be cut off from religious roots. Given the track record of the major religions, it is about time the members of the world religions begin to examine their own tradition, both past and present, and to confront the teachings, images, and stories that oppress females directly, and therefore males indirectly. The task at hand is not a mere academic exercise, nor is it for the sake of nostalgia or historical interest We must engage in the process of examining our own religions with seriousness for we cannot allow this kind of violence to continue in a world so historically and culturally influenced by the great religions.

AVARIETY OF REASONSTO QUESTIONYOUR PLACE IN MASS CULTURE . by Jeff h7zprint
Zavitz stt2.l.
LIFE CONTINUES “We are now inventing living machines, not machines for living in.” - CharlesEdouard jeanneret (Le Corbusier) We will never fully know our world. There are too many people, too many places and most obviously, there is too little time. Besides, we have not yet learned how to slow down, breath in the air and process the information. It’s not our fault really, the whole damn planet seems to be accelerating rapidly and it has caught us in its slipstream. We live in a 24-hour world machine that is constantly pumping, swirling, and spitting out light and sound. Everything is occurring at once. Simultaneity, which was once the solitary domain of surrealist artistic expression, is now the common currency of - human communication. We are hitchhikers on the futuristic information highway, The future is now. Look around you. Have you ever been downtown at four in the morning? Go there. Count the things that continue to operate without people. Take note of the traffic lights, the pedestrian crossings, the bank machines, video games and digital message boards. Devoid of an audience, they will still tell the time, post the temperature, monitor the upwardly spiralling national debt or count down to the year 2000. As Le Corbusier predicted, we have now invented living machines, not machines for living in. Is this the so called pinnacle of civilization that we have all been waiting for? Is more really more? Ask hard questions. Am I happier than my parents were? That’s what it really comes down to, don’t you think? Will my children be more content still? I don’t know. What I do know is that I see a dismally large number of unhappy people in the world. Progress for progress’ sake is a road trip without a
TO IMITATEART destination. We can’t build satisfaction, nor can we buy it. Real happiness is generated through friendship, learning, mental, physical and spiritual health, a sense of community and a shared respect for our natural environment. Sadly, these simple truths are swamped by our constant saturation with their well advertised polarities. In North America alone, companies spend $ I30,000,000,000 annually to tell you that you are incomplete without their products. Consider that figure for a moment. Each year I30 trillion dollars are spent to sell you on buying. Nothing tangible is produced or exchanged for this incomprehensible sum. This is the cost of maintaining the philosophy of an eternally expanding economy. In this environment, the average person will see around 350,000 television advertisements before they reach the age of eighteen. Talk about consumer pressure; each day you are con’ fronted with over 3000 marketing messages. The search for the quick fix is central to our lives. We must unlearn our dependence on purchased happiness. Our focus on consumption damages us in many ways. To begin with, this cornerstone of our cultural philosophy has encouraged us to judge our success through the measurement of ‘standard of living’ and not the analysis of ‘quality of life’. We are slaves to our societal desire for whiter, brighter, new-and-improved consumer durables which we rush home in the recently restyled, ergonomically enhanced, increased performance automobile that fits oh-so-snugly into the right bay of our two car garaged, suburban Mcmansion with its useless cemetery plot front lawn and fenced in 40x40

rear yard refuge zone which is paradoxically surrounded on all sides by equally exposed neighbouring ‘private’ domains and their resident voyeuristic, middle-management overlords. Why would anyone question the desirability of it all? Thankfrilly. I am a student at this stage in my life. I’m supposed to question things. Also, I live on a shoestring budget that precludes me from acquiring too much ‘stuff. Hence, I can be happy. This is not to say that all goods that are not needed for sustenance are inherently bad. Rather, this is an admission that it is nice to be forced to live outside of the doctrine of consumption for consumption’s sake. My house-mate Greg and I have a theory about material possessions. It is the product of a philosophical discussion of Marxist theory, and seems to us to be a logical 1990’s extension of Karl’s ideas about the alienation of labour. Our theory is provides a hypothesis for the effects of purchasing goods to increase our happiness. Alienation of Consumer: With each additional acquisition made in the
CAUTION:
ongoing quest for happiness you devalue your preacquisitional state to the point that in time, through the repetition of this process of improvement, you have rendered your original self worthless and have simply become the sum of your possessions. You have then been sold for your purchased self. This alienation is not generally an extreme individual affliction, but is rather a wide-spread social malaise. It is intentional and it is effective. Your feelings of inadequacy fuel a consumptive feeding frenzy that causes you to continually search for that magical thing that will make you as happy as the ads seem to claim you should be. Unfortunately this just won’t happen. So what do we do about it? Should those of us who are sickened by the over-consumptive teachings and expectations of our society seek to reform it or instead should we endeavour to remove ourselves from its indoctrinating grasp? Thankfully I note that the counter-culture is alive and thriving in certain limited circles. Commune anyone? It is unfortunate however thai the notion of radical eco-
nomic reform has been so negatively stigmatized t:hrough its left-wing politicization. Intentional communities with fundamentally different economic structures and enlightened social frameworks are an alluring alternative. Either way, whether you choose to work from within the system or from its periphery, each of us has a societal responsibility to be at least marginally aware of our impact on the world we share. Don’t just sit at home contributing your own personal plot of vacuous mental real-estate to the millions ofacres of mindless TVviewership. Play secret agent. Decipher the messages that are being sent to you. Who are you supposed to be? How do you become this socially enshrined carbon-copyjohn/jane Q. Public? Why should you want to be mainstream?When striving to be recognized by the majority as an embodiment of the iconographic ideal, one should heed the example of prime time programming. In the mass culture of public television, prestige accrues to the accounts of intellectual cowardice. Life still continues to mimic art.
THE IVORY TOWER IS LEANING
So you probably think that in some amorphous fashion you manage to live outside of the pitfalls and unquestioned first principles of your culture. This self-aggrandized relationship to an ingrained social order is one that we atl tend to entertain to some degree at this point in our lives. I know how we all like to see ourselves as better educated and more aware of society’s myriad hidden agendas than the average North American. Perhaps there is some truth to this. I mean, we are all university educated people living in an age of information overload. Of course we are aware that corporations too often act as profit driven eco-terrorists, that governments lie, that social nets are flypaper for the less fortunate and that commerciais distort reality to play on our well maintained insecurities. Those are the truths that remain hidden from the masses. We however, know better than to fall for such thinly disguised elitist propaganda. OK then, why are we all here ar school. This is an elitist ivory tower from which tomorrow’s corporate demons are supposed to spring forth all eager and -conservative. This is where mainstream cultural ideas are nurtured in their infancy.

I would say that most of my classes are taught by well meaning, intelligent people with a keen interest in some speciftc facet of our diverse and complicated world. None of them seem to be leading any inchoate social revolutions or proposing any radical alterations to our conventional understanding of the twentieth century world. Although many people. are active in a multiplicity of honourable and meaningful social causes, this work tends to exist outside of their academic pursuits, A university education seems to revolve primarily around the presentation and discussion of accepted facts or widely recognized theories. Most of us who are rabidly pursuing our declaration of well-roundedness in these hallowed halls and tunnels are really just being trained to do the middle-management grunt work that is required to make the machine run. Still, we seem to push forward under the questionable promise that a degree will bring us prosperity. It would seem to me that as long as we continue to aspire to be success-

Eventually reality will confront each and every one of us. After four and a half years of wandering this campus in search of some sonof academic Buddha I have come to the realization that university is not a place where you are given the answers. One should come to school instead to gain inspiration and access to resources. More importantly, it is valuable to attend a post-secondary institution to be united with other people who share your interest in having an affect on the world. The university community is one that fosters discussion and promotes intellectual archeology. The answers you seek need to come from within. If ever a time for change existed, this would seem to be it. We stand to be the first downwardly mobile generation in North American post-colonial history. That sounds to me like a lot of cogs in very few spinning wheels. It is about time we redefined success so as to give ourselves and our offspring a fighting chance to achieve happiness. If we don’t learn to value the intangibles and cherish those things that are constants in our lives, we will have little to look forward to and even less to judge ourselves against. Our pinnacle will not be three car garages and a summer home on the

features NUMBNESS IS A CULTURAL ATTRIBUTE Oh you poor, ignorant, passive shopper. Do you not know that the war is waged with incantation and simulations. It is no wonder that you stare blankly at the happy box; caught in the seduction of a societal consensus trance. Your consumption is an essential element of capitalism’s feedback loop. Feedback without discourse; without distortion, or interruption to the pure signal. You are the lifeblood of greed and destruction. It is the sickest of jokes. Once, you were little. You played in leaves and thought yourself to be small in the context of universes still unexplored. life was interactive and days ended because the light had vanished and toys, now forgotten, were lost in the garden. Nights danced as forums for wonderment; thinking about the world as you wrestled with the insomnia that is virile youth. Do you recall, even vaguely, the time you pondered the nature of an afterlife spent slithering around the jungle floor or crashing through the surf in a oneness with the waves? “Might not the massive increase in deforestation, rapid decline in animal populations and systematic obliteration of species diversity, accompanied by the concurrent explosion in global human birth rates perhaps indicate some sort of soul transfer, and thus provide a pretty decent argument for reincarnation within the biomass?”

Such speculation was the generative power of first-hand experience. Now you see in segments, intervals or subjects. Calculated imagery, ripe with literal mean‘ings and singularity of inference. Juxtaposition is simply collage; aesthetics. Obediently you sit through the commercials, waiting patiently for the next program. You are excited by the promise of newness and improvement and are happy to learn that one of the major fast-food chains has become even faster and more competitive. This translates into a ‘value meal deal’ price reduction that will bring the double bacon burger, large fry and choice of soft-drink package in at slightly under five dollars. Things just keep on getting better. Two advertisements later, the equally regular programming resumes. Sadly, it is one of those distended bellied Ethiopian shows that speak in monotones about how you can feed, clothe and care for one of these arid plains-people for only seven dollars a month. Unable to make the connection, you laugh at how funny it is that your TV guide keeps messing you up. Why is it that they still insist on using the old antenna-reliant station’s outdated numbering system? It’s just plain stupid, you know? Everyone has cable. Wake up assshole.

Honesty is admitting that you don’t truly know yourself and that a very real part of you doesn’t actually want to. This is a land of shared sickness.

Your eyes give you away too. Tell me. In our freedom we could create a bond unbreakable. I am also scared. I fear exposure. However, I wish to make that fear public and thereby deny myself the prison of knowing I still have something to lose. If I could tell you just one thing that would pierce your heart, it would be that you are not alone. I feel with you. Many people do. We are often unable to understand that the things which we lack are not forbidden to us due to our unworthiness, but rather, they are denied to US due to our own inability to see OUT true beauty. Deny the validity of roles people wish you to play. Be what you feel regardless of the risk. Accept others and demand acceptance of for yourself. None of us is really alone. Most of the time we are simply isolated.

Last weekend at Lakehead, the flu-battling hoops Warriors got one thing that they needed to succeed this season: scoring from their post players. But that was not enough to capture a win as they lost bothgames of the northern doubleheader versus the /%@wes&s Nor’Westers, 84-74 and 7974. Waterloo’s slump continued on Wednesday night as the Badg ers beat them 89-68 in Brock. Sean VanKoughnett led the team in a losing cause with 22 points.

It was cold, dark, snowy, and only 5:30 a.m. when the varsity basketball teams departed for the Great White North last Friday morning. Despite the long trip to Thunder Bay and the large number of exuberant Lakehead fans, the Athenas played a greatgame Friday night, but were edged by the Nor’westers 48-47. UW exacted revenge on Saturday, hammering Lakehead 62-46. On Friday, Waterloo came out on fire, leading 12-2 early in the contest By halftime, the Nor’westers had made a comeback and the lead flipflopped until the dying seconds when Lakehead went up by one on a free throw to clinch the victory 48-47.

at Brock Invitational Wednesday,
Swimmers meet with Over the Christmas holidays, the Waterloo varsity swim team travelled south to a training camp in ‘sunny’ Florida. Twenty-eight swimmers (and two coaches) made the trip to Fort Lauderdale to put in some intense and quality training. Swimming at the Pinecrest Prep. School Pool (home of the 1993 USA high school girl’s champions), each day was a new experience in effort and pain as the coaches put the team through their paces, sometimes up to seven or eight miles per day. The highlight of the trip (aside from ET on New Year’s Eve), was an impressive effort by a group of people who volunteered to race the Ocean Mile swim. After a face-kicking, elbow-eating start, three swimmers emerged with noteworthy finishes. Veteran Ian Hunt won the men’s college senior division, Amy Jarvis finished fourth in the women’s sophomore division and rookie Tereza Mad was second in the women’s fresh{wo)man division. Some questions arose as to the validity of the times, but hey, what’s a race without a little cheating. The team returned home on Tuesday to a drastic loo-degree temperature change causing everyone to spon-
host Guelph taneously get the flu. Four days and a bunch of practises later, the team was off to the University of Toronto for a dual meet against the nation’s numberone team. Swimming with a tired, sick, and depleted line-up, the team toughed it our and came up with a number of impressive swims. First and foremost was the l-2-3 finish by the Athenas in the 200 back by Amy Jarvis, Tereza Macel and Deanna Hlpvka, respec-
tively. As well, Hunt won the 50 free (to complete the Ocean Mile and 50 free double) and rookies Chris Nagy and Ed Furs placed I-2 in the IO0 fly. When all was said and done, Toronto came out on top on both Men’s and Women’s side’s winning 100-72 and IO I -6 I respectively. The team is in action this weekend at the Waterloo/Guelph Invitational. The meet will see some of the fastest swimmers in Canadian university swimming and should be very exciting. Teams coming include U. of T., Brock, Windsor, the hated purple-Satan Western and that high-school down the road to name a few. Heats are at Waterloo at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, and finals are in Cuelph on Sunday. Anyone willing to donate some spare time can show up on deckat 8~30 a.m. or 5:30 p.m. on Saturday to help time (and get free doughnuts).
The
Warrior issues ‘a challenge!
Well, it’s offcial - the Warrior Challenge is on, and rolling along at full speed. The villages have received their information, and I’m looking forward to the first annual Warrior Challenge being a resounding success. The Challenge is this - Bring 3000 fans to the first Warrior home game of the
regular
season
I!
The inaugural Warrior Challenge comes in the form of a double-header on Saturday, January I 5th against Windsor. The Warrior game starts at 2:00 pm, and the lady Athena’s play at 4:00 pm (This is a change from the original schedule due to Windsor not wanting to wake up early to travel and get trounced by our squads). All this action is to be held at the Physical Activities Complex (PAC). The I994 UW Warrior team is an impressive and exciting group that have a good chance of affecting the nationaf mnkings. From Alex Urosevic taking a foul while making a lay up along the base line, to an intense offensive rebound taken down by Tom Balfe, there will be a lot to cheer about when the Warriors take to the court. The Athenas will bring you out of your seats with tremendous hard working defense, and sweet drives to the hoop. Think twice about not going on Saturday. Besides going to see great basketball, and watching your friends and classmates on the court, you can leave the PAC with a lot more than you
came in with. When you buy a Warrior program for a loonie (with all proceeds going to the Warriors basketball team), you automatically enter yourself into the PRUDENTIAL AT THE HALF contest. At the half, three numbers get selected, and if any of those numbers match the number in your program, you shoot for prizes. Prizes will be awarded for each shot made, and a grand prize of $2500 will be given to any winner that can make all 4 shots. Also. keep in mind the fact that the floor (or section in V2’s case) with the largest fan count from the villages will receive FREE PIZZA at half time. Ask your Dons for more information if this is news to you. So don’t be shy, and show your teams the support they deserve. There is one other reason why you should make it a point to come to the Challenge. This year, we are introducing a new idea called THE TWIN CITY PRINTING WARRIOR FAN OF THE GAME. This honour will be bestowed upon the fan that catches my attention throughout ,the game (that’s right - I’m the one in the Warrior outfit). To get MY attention, one has to either have the best banner, make the most noise, or look the part of a serious fan all decked out in black and gold. But whether you win or not, it is important for atI the fans to get up and CHEER YOUR ASSES OFF!!

UW dumps Windsor, gets robbed by Western, and looks for four points this weekend by Nicholas Mew Imprint sports

If you want to see the hockey Warriors put on a winning show, and really put the puck in the opposition net, then this is the weekend to come to see the Ice-Men play. Tomorrow (Saturday) at 2:00 p.m. sees the Queen’s Golden Gaels come to Waterloo, and the Kingston kids have not had a successful season: 2 wins in 14 games, while allowing an average of five goals per game. These are not the kind of stats thatget you the national championship, or even into the playoffs. The only chance Queen’s has of making the playoffs is if the military boys from Kingston, the RMC Redmen, manage to play worse. RMC visits on Sunday at 2 p.m. As of January 6, both teams had four points, but RMC had a game in hand, and Redmen have beaten the Gaels this season. However, RMC has allowed an average of six goals-per-game, and is not known for defensive hockey. Part of their problem lies in the fact that most OUAA teams get former OHL players who are seeking a university education, while very few OHL grads choose to make the Forces their career. Queen’s does not have this excuse to fall back on, however, so we can just assume that they’re having an off year. What all this means, in a very roundabout way, is that the Warriors, who are looking stronger than ever, will make the red lights flash, the nettwine sing under the stress of the puck hitting it so often, and the ice around the opposition net will seem like home for the Warriors all weekend long. Now, I really can’t and shouldn’t promise an offensive outburst like this, but for those who have seen the recent Waterloo hockey men, they will attest that this result is a strong possibility. The Warriors are playing with more heart, drive, skill, and speed than before, and each game sees them get a little better. The first half of the season saw a bunch of individuals, acting independently, just wearing the same coloured sweaters. The Warriors today are a team, in every sense of the word, and their unselfish play shows this. A prime example of this new ca-

Warrior hockey needs you! Hey! The Waterloo Warriors varsity hockey team is in need of some people who want to help the team, earn $ IO per game, and are willing to stand in one spot and do minimal work to achieve this. For the remainder of the 1993-l 994 hockey season, goal judges for Warrior home games at Columbia Icefield are required. You get paid to watch hockey games! All you have to do is flip a light switch when you see a circular black piece of vulcanized rubber cross completely over a red line. Believe me, k’s not hard, and you get to put it on your resume! Interested applicants should be University of Waterloo students. If you qualify, phone varsity hockey manager Nicholas Mew at 885- I21 I ext. 2635 weeknights from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., or phone during the day and leave a message.
In the second period one of the Warriors who is “on the bubble” every game brought the team cheering to its feet to congratulate him. Peter “Petri” Skopec, the 8-ball, is generally the odd-man out of the Warrior’s lineup, and gets to play when an injury or a suspension forces one of the regulars out, which happened this weekend, as Steve “Heart and Soul” Smith re-injured a knee in an off-ice accident This injury meant that coach Don McKee put Skopec into the game, but strictly in a check-and-intercept role, which often means that the player will see no offensive opportunities during the game. However, thanks to some sloppy line-changing by the Lancers, Skopec found himself on his wrong-wing with the puck, and closing in on the net from the left side. Knowing his role, and trying not to make a defensive error, Skopec chose simply to fire a quick shot at the net, then skate around the net to the bench for the end of his shift. Well, the shot left his stick, started to climb, and completely fooled Lancer goalie Steve Thorpe as it went into the top-right corner of the net. The Warrior players and staff made more noise than the fans did, as they jumped up and cheered with abandon at the 8-ball’s first goal of the season. “I didn’t know it was in until I skated around the net and saw it lying there. I wondered why everybody was yelling,” said an extremely happy Skopec, who made a point of keeping the puck. Skopec also had an assist in the game. This game saw the Warriors take the lead 58 seconds into the first period, and they held the lead throughout, despite a long trail of players constantly going back and forth to the penalty box courtesy of the ref. The goal-scoring machine, Jason “Swervyn” Mervyn, added another one to his total, as well as two assists. Other goal scorers for the Warriors were Sheldon Gilchrist, Mike White, Greg “Attitude” Allen, and Dean MacDonald, while blueliners John Wynne and Neil Ethier added two assists each. On the negative side, returning forward Drew Rees was assessed a penalty for checkingfrom behind, which meant that he was forced to leave the game.
The Waterloo bench and the fans tried to point out to the refthat number 24, Rees, was not even near the area where the penalty occurred, and in fact another player was responsible for this questionable call. However, we all know what refs are like, and he refused to change his mind, sending Rees to the showers a bit early, and certainly not too happy about the whole affair. In the end the Waterloo side prevailed, giving themselves a little bit of a cushion over the bottom-feeder Windsor squad, who were clearly frustrated by the Warriors all game long. The bad blood continued to show long after the game was out of reach for Windsor, as seven players were assessed penalties in the final minute. Three penalties came as a result of the final handshake, with the ref calling three majors for inciting after one Lancer detided to provoke two of the larger
Western4,
Cardiff. No one knows quite what happened to start this, but it ended quickly and the teams went their respective ways. Sunday saw a much-depleted Western side come to the Icefields to slap a little rubber around with Waterloo, and this was an edge-of-your-seat game, not recommended for people with heart conditions. The hated rich-kid trash from London were without four players, three of them Western’s top-scoring players, and it certainly showed at times, as the Mustangs lacked their usual scoring punch. Western still managed to jump out of the gate quickly, getting a twogoal lead by the 4:25 mark of the first, but the Warriors shut the purple pinheads down for the rest of the period after that. Battle-scarred and ancient veteran John Williams, who can dangle and dance with the puck so well he embarrasses the other team, scored late in the first and early in the third to tie the game up, and this gave the Warriors a second wind. Near the halfway mark of the final frame, Drew Rees, added to the roster in January along with Williams, forced in a shot by purple pad-pole Sean Basilio, to give the Warriors the lead, and this looked like it might hold up. However, the ref decided to make the game interesting by calling a unique
McMaster University Centre for.Continuing
(the polite way to put it) penalty against the Warriors late in the third. GoaltenderJames Organ, who was turning aside a fierce Western onslaught, decided to relieve the pressure and fire the puck down the ice. Unfortunately, Organ had received some new sticks, and this enabled to raise the puck a lot higher than he had intended in his clearing attempt.
The puck went virtually straight up into the air, hit the roof of the icebarn, and dropped to the ice, still in the Warrior’s end. The ref blew his whistle, and called Organ for delay of game. No one could believe it, least of all Organ, and the fans let referee Bob Beatty know what they thought of this

Zabjeck leaps Canadianstandard at season opener by Brent Imprint
Forrest sports
The final team selection meet for the I994 varsity indoor track and field team occurred last Saturday at the University of Toronto. A majority of the athletes were still recovering from a week of strenuous training in California and those not recovering from California were probably still trying to digest some of the food devoured during the holidays. None the less, outstanding performances were achieved by some athletes and gave an impressive showing for only the second meet of the year. The team’s high jump specialist, Karl Zabjeck, started the season off right by leaping the Canadian championship standard of 2.02 metres. This means that Zabject has qualified to compete at the Nationals to be held in Edmonton in early March. Whether or not he is able to attend the championships depends totally on the school decision to send him or not. Zabjeck’s impressive performance seemed to be an inspiration to the men’s and women’s distance crews. Jason Gregoire, who took the extended version of the California trip, was back on Canadian snow for less than 24 hours when he ran to a bronze medal finish in the 1,500 metres. Gregoire’s performance was a mere three seconds short of the Canadian standard which would allow him entry into nationals. Once he recovers from his heavy training and jet lag, he can be expected to qualify with ease. Both of the men’s and women’s 4-by-800metre relay team won their events with ease, showing once again what a dominating force the Waterloo distance team can be. The men’s team of T. Jq Mackenzie, Kregg Fordyce, Jim Mylet, and Andrew Welburn have their sights set on the Canadian standard as well. Given the chance to run fresh and have more than ten minutes between races, they should be making the return trip this year to the nationals,

as well the team should be definite medal contenders at Provincials. The women’s team of Judith LeRoy, Sherry Carter, Sarah Thompson, and Sarah Brown ran away with their race. This young team shows great promise for the future and will be a definite contender at provincials this year.

dreamin’
California dreaming became a refreshing reality as the UW track and field team stepped off the plane atJohn Wayne Airport in Irvine, California on December 26. This marked the beginning of the third annual UW California Christmas Track and Field Training Camp. So.. , what do a bunch of Canadian track and field kids just out of the icebox of Canada do in Califorr-iia, have fun ?!?! Well sure, but we also train . . * a lot. If it was not hard everyone would be doing it! The week started a little gloomy, about 22 degrees Celsius and a tad overcast, but that went away quickly and 99 per cent of the stay was sunny and hot with not a cloud in the sky. Our fearless leader, coach and comrade Brent McFarlane had the team put up most elegantly at the local Mariott Suites Hotel. The hotel is a mere two-kilometre jaunt from the nearest track facility at the University of Irvine, California. This impressive facility, with its blue rubber track, is a gem that we decided to let alone this year due to its ability to breakdown even the toughest runners legs, not to mention cost. So we spread the training around, visiting such exotic training locales as Long Beach State,

Overall, the track team had I5 PBS which brings the season total to 32 after onfytwo meets. The coaching staff is very pleased with the results and performances up to this point and are expecting some significant breakthroughs by athletes in the upcoming weeks. A special thanks should be given to our ever dependable trainers Kevin and Rod. These guys put up with way more than they deserve to and we appreciate your support because we know we would be in major crap without you guys. The team also extends a special thanks to Chris Bastie for his help and support he provided everybody at the U of T meet.

UCLA, Venice Beach, Huntington Beach -- Tiajuana and Las Vegas. The coaching in California was superb. This camp’s coaching staff is possibly the best that CIAU coaching staffs can get. Pushing the athletes to their limits both mentally and physically was McFarlane (national hurdles coach for Los Angeles I984 and Seoul 1988). His university support staff included UW middle distance/distance coach John Swarbrick and a new addition to the UW team (although a camp veteran) sprints/jumps coach Gary Wilson. The camp support staff consisted of yet another six coaches who were spread among the athletes so that everyone had as much personal coaching as possible. These coaches included Jayne Winer and Charles Thompson from Kitchener Waterloo Tmck and Field (coaching sprints and hurdles), Murray Jackson and Ed Allen from Petrolia Track and Field (coaching middle distance/distance and sprint/hurdlingrespectively), Brian Risk (National Team Coach in the Pole Vault/jumps coordinator from the National Legion Camp) coaching jumps, sprints and hurdling and Scott St. Pierre (National liaison for Saskatchewan to the Olympic Committee) coaching sprints and hurdling. Helping the coaching staff in any way possible was also one of our very dedicated UW trainers from the Elite Therapy Program run by Loretta Bresolin back at UW. Kevin Blake’s energy and enthusiasm as well as his ability to keep our runners actually running was impressive. It is not often a trainer will sacrifice the time or money to attend a camp with her/his team. Not just a trainer, Blake acts as manager and a liaison between the coaches and athletes as well. The athletes would like to thank Kevin for his dedication to our sport and attending this California Camp. The coaching, leadership and dedication of the individuals mentioned above to the athletes of UW should be applauded.

field
Due thanks should be given to McFarlane, whose leadership and organizational abilities are what make these camps happen. This being the 27th camp that McFarlane has run, definitely makes UW athletes a lucky bunch of people to have such an experienced national-level coach as our head coach. McFarlane’s camps aim not only to train athletes to their peak abilities but also aim to give them a taste of the surrounding area’s attractions and hotspots. This philosophy keeps the athletes active and interested (as well as tired) throughout the duration of the camp. Unlike a lot of training camps where time between practises is spent sleeping in the hotel, the UW team could be found doing a variety of relaxing activities. Trips to Disney World, Knott’s 8erry Farm, surfing, sunning and shopping at Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Tiajuana, San Diego, and even Las Vegas for New Year’s were just some of the hot spots graced by the presence of the track and field team this year. Again our coaches shuttled and participated in most if not all activities making sure things ran safely and smoothly. The training was hard and time-consuming. With two practises per day and the sun beating down, it was all one could do to finish a lot of the gruelling workouts that could last up to threeand-a-half hours. There are rewards to this physical punishment, though. The satisfaction of making yourself faster, stronger than you have ever been. Working in a foreign yet exhilarating environment such as California creating friendships that will last a lifetime. Social activities at the camp included such things as team dinners to surrounding restaurants and long tempo runs in the surrounding community. Not to mention relaxing in the pool and hot tub at the hotel or participating in the exciting skits performed on camp rookie night. Everything was safe, fun and added up to an experience worth remembering and looking forward to next year.

Waterloo’s varsity nordic skiers raced at Minto Glen last Sunday to prepare for several upcoming interuniversity races. Minto Glen, near Harrison, provided an excellent technical course for the teams’ selection races. Although extensive trail grooming was required by team assistant coach, Don McKinnon, the result was two very successful races. The skiers, still recovering from five days of winter training camp and hellish 6 a.m. weekday practices at Chicopee, arrived at the start-finish line around IO:30 a.m. for the first race. A three-kilometre loop was used for the classical technique race and provided two superb loops for the male racers. Former Ontario team skier Steve Higgins is looking to lead the men’s team to the OUAA finals, followed by head coach Dennis Paradine.

each other on the six-kilometre course. The women’s team provided encouraging cheers at the top of a particularly onerous hill that even the neighbouring tobogganers were afraid to use.
In the women’s race, Julie Murmy edged out Joanne Murray. Sara Ednie, Susanne Plate, Corona Fontana and Tracey Curry are on track to having good seasons. The men also piovided those same nordic cheers along the trail as each skier passed. Who says nordic skiing isn’t a glory sport? The afternoon provided an interesting twist to all team members. The first ever Waterloo ski team pursuit race using the faster skating technique. A pursuit race? Let me explain. Take your top skier and let him/her go on the course and respectively let the next faster skier go afterwards until all the skiers are pursuing a faster skier in front of them. This almost forces spectacular finishes. The starting order was based on the previous races finish time which resulted in a tough race for Thomson, O’Reilly, Stewart and Buchanen, who could all see each other along the entire course. Having your competition in front of you is more intensive than dangling a $ IO0 wax in front of
a nardic
skier!
Hopefully, all upcoming races will be just as or more intensive.as this one. The team travels to Orangeville this Saturday to race their first interuniversity race of the season.

team loose for the ensuing penalty they had to kill. The ploy worked, as the Warriors killed off the penalty, but the game wasn’t over yet Earlier in the game, Waterloo had a scary moment as Western forward Aaron Nagy purposely brought his stick up in the face of one of Waterloo’s strongest/strangest defenders, Mark Cardiff. Cardiff was cut under the chin by Nagy’s stick, and this offence usually warrants five minutes and a game for the offender. However, Beatty saw it another way, for reasons knohn only to himself, and assessed Nagy only the five. Unfortunately, Waterloo was unable to take advantage of this opportunity, but thankfully Cardiff was all right. Rusty, Cardiffs pet rubber wonderchicken, clucked a sigh of relief. Back to the third period, Western attacked time and time again into the Waterloo end, desperately trying to tie the game and force overtime.
Netminder Organ was brilliant, turning aside shots from all angles and speeds until the final minute. The Mustangs pulled the goalie, and sent six forwards into Waterloo’s end, ending up firing a quick series of six shots at Organ, who had absolutely no chance at all as a few of the Warriors left their men uncovered, allowing Western to tie the game, with only four seconds left on the clock. Overtime added to the heartbreak, as Waterloo was unable to muster any kind of a serious attack, while Western were still on the high of scoring the tying goal. At the 4~26 mark of the overtime, Western managed to squeeze another one into the end, stealing the points away from Waterloo, who clearly outplayed the Mustangs throughout the game. Watch for the Warriors to play stronger than ever this weekend, and come on out and support the boys with the knives strapped to their feet who play in the black, white and gold.

The vvay of the sword is back by Suzanne Deteruille Blaine Campbell Itnpint sports
and
The WW Kendo Club has started another invigorating term of training and practice in “the way of the sword,” Japanese fencing. Kendo has developed out of 2000 years of Japanese swordsmanship, as a &ay to practice the fundam&tal sword techniques of the samurai (but without the nasty side effects, like severed arms,
etc.) Kendo may appear to be a bunch of guys running around yelling and hitting each other over the head with bamboo sticks - definitely social. But on the more serious side, kendo means agility, speed, coordination, skill and

by Pat Imprint
The Headstones guest Mark Perak Bombshelter January 7, 1994
Merlihan stc@
The Headstones really spit out the tunes last Friday at the Bomber. I mean that literally, because if one ventured :i>o close to the stage they had a pretty good chance of catching a juicy Ioogie In the eye. The Headstones put on their usual amazing show for the decent sized crowd that turned out to witness raw energy being turned into fine-tuned kick ass rockin’ tunes. It took a few tunes for the crowd to get used to Hugh Dillon, lead singer and gold medal champion In spitting, but once the music sunk rn, the heads were bobbing to the beat and a few brave souls ventured closer to the stage. Nobody was unfortunate enough to get christened by Hugh, but he was close to corkin’ a few people with the mike stand with his aggressive gestures in tune with the heavier tunes. I know most people would probably have been appalled at Hunh’s behaviour (ie. spitting, breaking stu;, swearing) b’ut Ahen”it come: down to it, the music rocks, and you have to admit, the guy has cool hair. He’s a Mickey Rourke look-a-like who chain smokes and puts everyone at the Bomber to shame when it comes to drinking. At the beginning of the show some people looked like they were thinking “Who the fuck does this guy think he is?” but by the end of the show I think Hugh could have pissed on the
8~ Roll Bomber
at the
stage, and he would have been applauded for the act. This was the first show for ‘94, and the first of The Headstones cross-Canada tour that will end in Vancouver. The show consisted of songs from their debutalbumPicture of Health, and they also did a couple of covers, entertaining the crowd with “Rawhide”, and The Monkees ” St e p p i n ’ Stone”. Highlights of the show were with “Heart of Darkness”, “When Something Stands For Nothing”, “Annel”. and a rockin’ cover of I The Travelling hCKey “:-‘,--“I-*gh” IlU! Rcmrke - the Blind Melon of saliva Willbury’s “Tweeter and The Monkey Man”. . movie based on his character, on and The Headstones, once again have off the stage. To kick off the night, the audience treated Waterloo to an excellent night was entenained by WV’s very own of good music and a fair share of attitude too. More of Hugh Dillon will be singer/songwriter hark Perak. Armed coming soon in a movie where he plays with only his acoustic guitar, Perak strummed his way through his repera redneck, alcoholic, psychotic serial killer. They actually wrote him into the toire of emotional songs that he sang ”
out
.
from the heart. He writes his songs through his experiences and things that happen around him, and the honesty prevails when he delivers these strong feelings through song. His sound is a cross between Michael Stipe from REM, and Tracy Chapman, and he’s got a “...fucking lot ofcourage!“as Hugh Dillon commented when he thanked Perakfor opening. In “Sometimes” Perak abandoned the guitar and sang a Capella, showing that he doesn’t have to hide behind the sound of the guitar. His voice carried well and everyone had their eyes glued to the stage. In “Crack” he talks about awoman that sells crack to buy more drugs instead of feeding her baby. “Fear” alked about some of Perak’s fears, and all of his songs were delivered with such emotion that really made his contribution to the evening a great success. I know from talking to Perak before the show that he was nervous because he wasn’t sure how his music would fit into a Headstones show. Well, the neNousness must have subsided, because his singing did not falter, and his music gently geared the crowd into the direction of rockin’ with The Headstones. Mark Perak can be seen at the Bomber on January 21 opening for Hemingway Corner for a matinee performance, and that very same evening he will be playing Weaver’s Arm Pub with his newly formed band. Ail in all, it proved to be an excellent night of music, and if I wasn’t on medication I would have woken up with a slightly throbbing head. _

Check out the new and unreleased material which finds the Dervishesfindinga slower, yet still irresistible groove.

Finally a real gig on campus after storming victoriously through the battle of bands and the resultant opening slot for Bootsauce, the Dervishes are here tonight to blow you away. Local superstars they are, what with their nonstop urge to create a veritable boogiefest at whatever venue they grace with their unkempt, but ohso-lovable visages.

Philadelphia: Traaecly and justice Directed
by Ken Imprint
prevail
Philadelphia by Jonathan Demme
Brzpon stafl
Wiihin the constraints of the Hollywood production process, not many films dealing with powerful and dangerous social realities make it to the big screen. As such, directors are forced to rely on their enormous reputations in order to gain funding for such films, as did Oliver Stone, with his Vietnam movies, and now Steven Speilberg, with his depiction of the Holocaust in Schindlerf list. So how, then, did little known director Jonathan Demme (Silence ofthe &O&S, Something Wild, Stop Making Sense) manage to garner support for Philadelphia? Quite simply because Phikudel@iti is a superb portrayal of both the American justice system and social reality today. In the North American media, the subject of Aids has been skirted and its victims stigmatised to the extent that it is rarely confronted, unless of course the victims happen to be famous (Rock Hudson, Freddy Mercury, Magic Johnson etc.), and then the disease is considered a tragedy. To make a major motion picture whose central character is both gay and dying of Aids, then, is to risk offending the homophobic majority of America and belittling the reality of the Aids tragedy. To his credit, Demme does neither. Philadelphia is the story of one man, lawyer Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks), who, after being fired from his job for allegedly losing an important file, struggles to prove his dismissal was not based on any supposed incompetence, but rather, because he has Aids. Considering the physical comedy type-cast he has filled for most of his career, Hanks does not seem like the man play the part. However, by

Beckett
turning in a both compelling and devastating performance, Hanks leaves us no doubt as to his abilities. On screen, Hanks transforms himself from a hard working, cheerful lawyer, into a man with a destiny and a mission. He is destined to die, yet must prove his dignity, through winning his case against his former firm. Beckett, after being refused by ten different lawyers, decides to take on the case himself, only to be surprised by the last lawyer he visits, a homophobic played deftly by Denzel Washington, who decides to take the case after coming across Beckett, dying and proud, in a legal library.

and his
A vocal homophobe, Washington’s character acts as would many people confronted with an Aids victim; his body language betrays his disgust and fear, and he openly admits his hatred of homosexuals to his wife. Having him defend Beckett in court then, Demme, turns the narrative away from any potential preaching against homophobia, focusing rather, on the freedoms and rights of everyone, including those with Aids. 8y drawing the audience into the film through the lens of equality for all, Demme not only proves his subtlety at handling the issue, but also invokes a much greater response from the audi-

boxing
ence, alfowing even the homophobe to identify with the Aids stricken Beckett. What makes this film overcome all obstacles, however, is the combination of Demme’s lens and the sheer power of Hanks’ performance. Demme films from unsuspecting angles, forcing the audience into unfamiliar territory: during the court scenes, the audience is brought into the case directly, with both defense and prosecution lawyers arguing straight into the lens at the jury/audience. Also, during the climactic scene wherein Beckett confronts his mortality, accompanied by roaring opera, Demme films with a red filter from above, circling Beckett and his intravenous bag stand, his lifeline and deathlink. It is at this point that Hanks shines brightest, at the peak of his disabilities. Accompanying his favourite opera with a painful narrative of its tragic events, Beckett is undoubtably playing with his own pending death, rejoicing in its magnitude and weeping painfully in it’s tragedy. The strength of this scene represents the crux of the film, blending the talents of actor and life director in presenting a powerful drama. While Philadelphia has 6e& criticised for both underplaying the politics of Aids and overplaying the juxtaposition of Beckett and his lawyer, the film’s clout lies in its ability to both lambast the prejudice against homosexuals and yet remain sufficiently unpolitical and open for the homophobic population. In the end, Philadelphia is not so much a film about Aids as a film about the Aids epidemic. It portrays the fight of one man against both the virus which ravages his body and the homophobic virus which roams the nation. Go with an open’ mind; you won’t be disappointed - and don’t forget a handkerchief.

In disgussing the new abum, Guy outlines the evolution of the lead track “sweet anatomy”, mediating somewhat on the on the HOL creative process: “Pete, the drummer wrote the music and he played it to me once, just an acoustiv guitar put to a very simple drum machine beat... and it just had a nagging quality to it and I said “what do you want me to do with it?” do you want me to put anything on top?” “I was nervous about it, it was different, It was the first time I had worked on anything that he’d written and we ended up doing the track on the EP from (Babe Rainbow’s “You don’t understand”) 1just felt it wasnt finished... There could be more added to it His music was so complete and I felt that my additions were what lacked completeness.” Eventually, the track was recorded without much addition, “the layering of the music was what gave the completed feel and chorus tobabe, “You Dont Understand” and “Crush Me” In England where there is only one radio station, so called “alternative” bands are only played late at night. Denied the variety North Americans take for granted, Guy’s country-mates
turn to the weekly music tabloids obviously not to hear, but to hear about bands. In America, “Hollow” is being worked into a single, and German film director Wim Wenders has chosen “Call Me” for the soundtrack to his new film fcrrawuy so CIose With this new film of his, he originally wanted to use the whole album..,.and then as usual the film soundtrack syndrome came in and U2 and Dylan appeared on the soundtrack. I’m thrilled he used the track though, I am a big fan of his films. Having brought an acoustic guitar along, Guy played a “solo” song that the HOL won’t do, called “Slaughterhouse friend” featuring gruesome lyrics and an even more (once explained) unsettling chorus, “The lam is a ram”. This song is way out of context with the rest of the group’s material. Whatever the tribulations the HO1 continues to suffer in their native land or marketplace, these ears cannot deny that Chadwick has consitently come up with the goods, and has already written more classic songs than most of his contemporaries ever will. From their first single “Shine on” to one of the standout tracks ti Audience of the mind, “Shining on,” The House Of Love continues their dignified journey.

Apparently it was time for a payback to Clinton from all those who have been inspired by or who have sampled, expropriated or just plain stolen from his work. Hey man...smelI my finger gets off to a rollicking start with “Martial law” with the plea for a nonstop party “curfew ain’t gonna get it...we’re used tofunkin’after hours.““PaintThe White House Black” follows featuring vocals by Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Chuck D. among others. And sadly, that’s about it for this release. Fifteen minutes (both the first two tunes clock in at 7 minutes plus) of dripping, oozing funk that rapidly descends into overdone overblown pap. “The Big Pump” and “lf True Love” have got to be some of two of the worst songs to get released in ages. Mindless humping dance music and a love ballad that no self-respecting fouryear-old would sing along with. It’s interesting to note that the successful tracks feature multiple and predominant P-Funk samples. Maybe after all these years Clinton has finally run out of ideas.

While there are some who say that the world is going to end in 1999, there are others who say that Sepultura sounds likewhat Metallicawould sound like if they were still a kick-ass band instead of just having assumed that guise having outlived their credibility. The drums, the crunching guitars, the cheezy angst lyrics, the spit and the anger and the hellion driven amphetamine fed crunch that can make men go berserk in the jungles in post-exam frenzy, a soundtrack to run amuck to. Sepulturaare from Brazil and when asked what inspires their music, they respond by saying that they just iook out the window. The themes that they cover are mostly from Brazil, and those of you who have been looking in those little itty bitty international news captions running down the spine of the Star or Globe might remember the prison riots in San Paolo where over a hundred inmates were massacred with extreme prejudice, 80 % of whom hadn’t been sentenced yet. Or the Kaiowas tribe who committed mass suicide rather than let their land be logged to shit. In the silly-sounding “Biotech is Godzilla”, the message is the Rio Summit in 1992, biotechnology, kidnapping street people, political hypocrisy, biotechnology in the hands of greedy corporations, Cubato as the world’s most polluted town, and it goes on. Brazil is a huge country that is being destroyed by rampant capitalism, on an even more perverted scale than in the US or Canada, and if these guys are the Jell0 Biafra’s of their society, they’ve got a Iot to say. But how do they say it? “You censor what we breathe/ Prejudice with no belief/ Sense less violence all around/ Who is it, that keeps It’s typical thrash fare, but us down.”
Sepultura makes it sound more real than some politically correct buffoons whining about why the world won’t give them an OSAP grant “Why don’t you get a life and grow up/ Why don’t you realize that you’re fucked tip.” Listen to Sepultura, they’ve got something to tell ya. -This al&m it somewhat different from previous albums like “Beneath the Remains” and “Arise” in that “Chaos A.D.” is more than an apocalypse of thrash served up into progressive thrash melodies, switch-em-up, serve-em-out There’s more variety, some acoustic and tribal rhythms, and even a New Model Army cover (“The Hunt’) that bears some resemblance to Suicidal Tendencies’ “Sorry?” from the “How Can I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today” album. I sense a theme. And anyone who gets the CD can enjoy the bonus unlisted 13th track, somebody (I suspect Igor, the drummer) giving out bursts of insane cackting laughter. Something to play for your parents as you’re all gathered around the tree opening presents, or better yet, after you’ve gotten out of your most gruelling exam to prime you up for your little amuck through the jungles of your imagination. Kill GodziIla and put a little Chaos A.D. in your life.

The Northern Pikes broke the biggest rule in music and became that which sane bands fear the most. They let the guitar player sing lead and became a bar band. After proceeding in this direction, no wonder they broke UPIt wasn’t always this way. The Pikes started off as an excellent band. Their first two albums were phenomenal, featuring songs like “Hopes Go Astray,” “Wait for Me” and “Dancing in a Dance Club.” Jay Semko, bass player and one of the lead singers, has the best singing style and voice in the band. Meryl Brick, the other main singer until the third album, atso lends himself nicely to the mike. But Bryan Potvin, the lead guitar player (and a great one at that) should have kept his
mouth shut. How does it feel to ruin the band, Bryan? Ever since you started primarily writing songs and singing lead (“She Ain’t Pretty” was the first Potvin - ish single), the band has gone from creating songs of substance to penning brainless peices of shit about models from hell. What the fuck happened? Did you guys have a bigftght about the direction ofthe band or something? If so, I guess flash and frills won out over intenretv w , and substance. “Gig” is the final release of the Pikes, a live disc featuring thirteen of their songs. It also contains the last words of all the Pikes, telling how much they love eachother and all their fans, blah blah blah. They do good versions of “Teenland” and “The Way You Are” here, but “Dancing in a Dance Club” is a real letdown. And yes, this CD contains the most stu; pid song ever recorded in history, “She Ain’t Pretty.” So, the Pikes ~ have broken up 1 and Canadian ba;tenders are crying because beer sales will decrease. Unfortunately for the Pikes, they’re probably the only ones who are upset. Had this happened four or five years ago, I’d have been crying, too. But not now. You did it to yourselves, guys.

If you like Doctor Who, reruns of Knight Rider, and episodes of thk Love Boat than ADSR is for you. Now seriously to really enjoy, or jike ADSR (Whatever the hell that stands for), you must really, really like synthesizer music. I didn’t give this album a great mark on the o/d I-5 scale because it didn’t merit to many points on my trustworthy system of if I like it or not. I can see this album being played in some exclusive night club or when everyone is drunk and nobody knows
in Rustrolia
you want to dance, and if you play it really loud on your stereo it sounds pretty cool. &her-wise you may want to glance over this particular selection. I’m sure you won’t find it in too many major record distributers, but if you sincerely like synthesizer stuff, hey you may like it. I did like it more than Jean Michele jarre’s stuff, so maybe it’s not so bad. . The eight tracks on the CD highlight the talents of both Paterson and Nickolas of ADSR on the synthesizer. “Obsession (Stratospere Mix)“, “Pure Eqergy (Fire Remix)“, “Momentum (Velocity Mix)“, and “Suboceana (I 993 Remix) really make the toes tingle with their upbeat dance feel. The other are slightly toned down, but keeps the upbeat mood of the album. I must stress that if you like that cheap synthesizer sound that so many bands resort too, than hey you deserve this album. Some really good narcotics and an hour to kill would make ADSR a worthwhile venture, but on the whole this album sucks.

Grapes Of Wmth feel to them. With increasing airplay of their first single “Hang On” the band could be very easily be another alternative fence sitter like Soul Asylum with fans in both mainstream and alternative camps. Teenage Fanclub are a little different but are definitely mild enough for evewhich include songs by Chris Whitley, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Sun-60. Who the fuck are these people? The absolute worst track on the album is a poetry reading by the biggest fucking geek of all time, Mike ( Wayne’s World ) Myers, who also happens to be the star of the movie this soundtrack is from. I do recommend this CD, though, simply because the songs by Suede and The La’s are so good. You can’t go wrongwith tunes like these, even if they are surrounded by shit,

The song “fuck you” is half and half, starting off in tacky rock fashion, then.getting mixed into a completely different cool song. Many people may be wondering if this is the type of song that can be listened to while drinking No Name beer in a tacky bar with some young people wearing Brown Shirts. Of course it isn’t, but it’s not a bad album nonetheless. But as with others, there is something unremarkable about listening to a band that no one’s heard of, has never played locally, that doesn’t jump out at the listener with any kind of ferocity. The same can be said for Montreal’s Hare and Shuffle, who sound rather like a glam band to me. Somewhere in between Faster Pussycat and Love/Hate perhaps? They do have an excellent song “Take Me Over” - they need to make a single out of it, get an image, send the video over to Much Music. Otherwise their album is not exciting, fresh, lacking real Montreal boogie or impressive musical chunks. Lots of guitar though.
Information may be obtained by contacting This CD features twelve songs by twelve different bands. Never have I listened to an album with such a variety of good and bad songs on it. This one’s got it all. You’ll find everything from absolute shit to magnificence on this record. Let’s make it simple. The good ones are: Suede’s “My Insatiable One,” The La’s “There She Goes,” The Boo Radley’s version of “There She Goes” and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin’s remake of “Saturday Night” in that order. The bad ones are everything else,

It must have been Christmas because yet another release of something nobody really needs hits the market in time for frivolous Christmas shoppers. However, it makes an excellent stocking stuffer for any Eurythmics fan. If you’re an avid Eurythmics fan that this new release will be worth adding to the collection. However, if you simply enjoy the Eurythmics, as I do, the Greatest Hits will probably give you an idea of what is collected on this double cassette package. This new live version was recorded in 2 I different concerts and in IO different countries and spans from the first single “Never Gonna Cry Again” to “Angel” the final single to be compiled from this fabulous duo. Eurythmics was the most successful malefemale duo in pop history, even surpassing Sonny and Cher (real hard I know). They may not be getting back together but this release is a perfect tribute to one of the greatest bands of our time.
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart embraced different approaches to their music during their joint partnership. They emerged from a shot-t-lived band called The Tourists, and recorded the first Eurythmics album In the Garden in 1981. They continued throughout the years to bring us 7 more albums, a greatest hits, and now a live album. They produced such hits as “Sweet Dreams (are made of this}“, “Who’s that Girl”, “Sex Crimes”, “Would I LieToYou?“which is featured on the first part of Ljve 1983-j 993, and “There “,“Missionary Man”, “Miracle of Must Be An Angel Love”, and “Don’t Ask Me Why” on the second half of this collection. The CD cotlection offers a 3rd CD that includes an exclusive 6 track bonus of some of the infamous Eurythmics’ songs done the “urnplugged” acoustic style. Nobody can really question the greatness of the Eurythmics and the accomplishments they have made in their 8 years. This second release of their material since their break-up.in 1989, looks a little too much like a money maker in time for the festive holidays. To not take anything away from this release, it is an excellent live collection of a great band, but if you already have their Greu7test Hits than seriously ask yourself whether you need another collection to convince you that the Eurythmics were an amazing duo for their time. Dave and Annie have gone their ways- Dave with The Spiritual Cowboys, and Annie on her solo Diva Album - but Eurythmics Ljve 1983-I 993 confirms Annie’s description of Eur@mics as “...a place where, 1h ope, you get the best of both of us, without compromise.”

I’d be lying if I said’that Tempted is a great album, but I’d also be lieing if I said that Tempted really sucked. So I will say that Mksou’s new release probably won’t get a whole lot of airplay and probably not too many people will buy it. If the album does anything, it will probably annoy you most of all because of the constant repetitiveness, and corny lyrics. “Everybody Say Love” is probably one ofthe better upbeat songs on the album and it features two dollar
rapper Money B. The most irritating song out of the I 2 tracks is “Koo Koo” which also exemplifies her almost parody of parts of Madonna’s “Vogue”, but the title really says it all. All of the songs on Tempted deal with love of some sort like “I Really Love You”, “I Can’t Love You Anymore”, “Can You Love A Woman”, and “Loving Me Is Not A Sin”. Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour” is covered on the album and is actually not too bad. This is by far the best track on the album, and ironically the only song that features some french lyrics. I’m surprised French-Canadians aren’t screaming “traitor” as they did with Celine Dion when she hit it big in the Anglophone market. I remember hearing that Mitsou would be the next French-Canadian Madonna when “Bye Bye, Mon Cowboy” came out. Her sex appeal still does not go unnoticed, but she is delinitely no Madonna. Mitsou isn’t a bad singer, it’s just that the songs kind of make you want to vomit, Well maybe just the dryheaves.

Ah Blondie. That band of people that helped catapult CBGB’s, underground rock, and New Wave into prominence in the later part of the seventies. When I first picked up this album I thought it would turn out to be a pathetic attempt at capturing their bygone days of glory with a collection of very inferior material. Then of course I remembered that Debbie Harry already tried to do that last year, Actually, this is a compilation of assorted B-sides, previously unreleased songs, and live tracks performed in various locales. The liner notes call them, “overlooked classic songs and lost Blondie recordings...moreover, underappreciated recordings.” Wow, sounds interesting I thought, but upon listening, I found some of the choices of “overlooked classics” rather curious. For instance, there are two tracks on here from the quite awful “Hunter” album (the one where she has the big hair). Why remind fans of the doldrums that the band eventually fell into? Secondly there are versions of “Sunday Girl” and “Call Me” in French and Spanish respectivly. Even if I knew these languages well, MS Harry would still sound rather bad considering she most likely was singing them phonetically (a good example of this would be the first Abba album, before they knew English). Surely there are other B-sides or outtakes or even regular album

tracks that could have been substituted in their place? On the upside however, we do see a fair amount of material that reminds us of Blondie’s talent and influence. There’sthe kitschy melodrama of “Susie and jeffery”, once only available on the B-side of the “Tide is High” single, which would take a Herculean effort to find now. There’s three unreleased tracks, including the punky “Underground Girl”, and a track called “Scenery”. There’s three rare live tracks, spoiled only by a sad attempt at Bowie’s “Heroes”. Lastly, the extended mix of my personal favorite “Heart of Glass” more than anything else shows why people like Madonna call Harry their biggest influence, and why Blondie are important in the evolution of pop. For all intents and purposes however, this is intended as a collection for fans who are looking for those rare tracks i’ve mentioned, and in that capacity it does reasonably well. Those looking to get into Blondie though should look for a copy ofEat to the Beat or their Best ofcomp, and sit back and enjoy, and not bother with this.
Tom Petty and his band the Heartbreakers are by far an underrated talent in the world of rock and roll. Over the course of their career they have released a great many albums with countless hit singles. All the songs on this release are quality rock and roll material that have become mainstays of the classic rock stations. Whether you like Tom Petty or not, you will still be able to recognize many of the songs in this collection tike “I Won’t Back Down”, “Free Fatlin” and “Don’t Come Around Here No More”. As a testament to his musicianship, Tom Petty has played with the likes of George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and Bob Dylan as the Traveling Wilbutys. This long overdue collection of greatest hits material showcases the talent and songwriting skill of Tom both with and without the Heartbreakers. The Greatest Hits offer a great retrospective on the career of Tom Petty. This package serves as a super introduction to those who know nothing about Petty and as a comprehensive wrap up for diehard fans. The songs are listed in chronological order and offer hits starting off with “American Girl” and “Breakdown” from the I 976 debut album Tom Petty and the Heartbreclkers right up untit the I993 release “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”. The collection includes three tracks from the successful Petty solo effort Full Moon Fever but mostly draws from Petty and his workwith the Heartbreakers. Unfortunately, the collection does not include any unreleased material from the Tom Petty archives but included are two new tunes, a cover of Thunderctap Newman 1969 hit “Something In The Air” and the Petv penned “Maryjane’s Last Dance”. The later has a Neil Young quality to it and is on par with anything Petty has ever written. It is unfotiunate that there are no songs from Petty’s stintas a Wilbury but wisely omitted were songs from the poor I987 release “Let Me Up I’ve Had Enough”. The omission of the hit “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” is an obvious oversight but can be overlooked by the shear volume of tracks that are included, eigh;een to be exact, The collection has at least one song from every studio album, baring the above mentioned, and manages to pull together the best off each album Tom Petty has been around on the music scene for some time making great music. Judging by the new tracks included, Petty will continue to produce quality efforts far into the future. The Greatest Wits is an extensive collection highlighting the past efforts of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and manages to do justice to one of rock’s premier artists.

Dazed Dazed directed
and Confused by Richard
Linklater
by Sandy Atwal Imprint stafi
. L
big-thing director Richard Linklater whose previous film S/o&r has recently been baptised as a “Cult movie” by the press, the same press which has praised Dared and Confused “For those that graduated from high school in the mid-70s, this is our ‘American Graffiti.“’ This is also a good reason why most university students won’t care for this movie, or even find it relevant. I found the movie long, boring, pointless, and not even really all that funny. It made a grandstand of basic high school boorishness, artfully portraying the successful methods of people to deal with the meaninglessness in their lives by smoking lots of dope. The basic feel to the movie is that you’re watching a “Late Great Movie” on CityTV except that the actors are the people that are solicited on Yonge Street across from Sam the Record Man to do the station identification spiel: “You’re watching...a shitty movie filmed in the Seventies.” Lin klater manages to reproduce this type of movie very successfully and we have to-keep reminding ourselves that these people are actually our ages in real life. One character comments that “there seems to be a of every other decade. The
gap
the Seventies definitely suck.” This implies that the Forties (cool world war) and the Eighties (skinny t ies ) were good decades, and that the Nineties should suck. Or maybe it implies that it is always the present that sucks and it is the generation of 20 years ago that is the ideal. Things were great then. They suck now. Another character says “If these are the best years of my life, remind me to kill myself.” While this indicates that it would mistaken to interpret this movie as strictly sentimental, it is easy to infer exactly that,
Two characters
who are, not necessarily
considering the general good-times beer-commercial feel to most of the movie, which follows the events of a group of graduating high school students hazing the freshmen, driving around, cruising chicks, drinking beer, smoking dope, and hanging out. Ironically, and perhaps to the film’s credit, there are actually no sex scenes, despite the debauchery and the plethora of young nubile bodies. And with all the high-school scenes
stoned,
but. . .beautiful.
at the beginning I felt like I was watching the beginning to watch a slasher movie. Weird vibes, man, weird vibes. If you’re 40 years old and still smoke noxious herbs, this film is for you. If that doesn’t describe you, you might want to find alternative programming - like spending the evening in front of the monitor intrenetting with your fellow Gen-X-ers. Vive la cyberation.
Dazed and Confused may not, I agree, be exactly nostalgic for the average slacker-wastoid who was less than ten years old in I976 (the year that the film is set) but the exuberant life-affirming spirit in which the characters conduct themselves, and in which spirit Linklater has obviously made the film makes for an hour and a half of pure, unadulterated fun. Set on the last day of high school in 1976 (where beer is $ I .69 for a six-pack, smokes are $60 and dope is fifteen dollars for an ounce), Dazed and Confused follows a group of donothing high school graduates doing nothing but smoking a lot of dope, drinking a lot of beer, and smoking a lot of dope and, of course, smoking a lot of dope. The film is not a totally vapid, hedonistic look at life. There are a few introspective moments, but they are there as a foil, rather than the thrust of the movie, and their “message” is all the more pbignant because of its subtlety. The characters aren’t cardboard cut-outs, one has the sense that they were at’ least partly from Linklater’s own circle of friends, the characters are original, funny and instantly likeable. Watching a movie like this is like drinking beer or smoking dope. It’s anti-cerebral for the most part and a waste of time, but it’s FUN. Remember - fun - the reason that we work, and what we’d all generally like to be doing most of the time? As far as moving me in any way, I wanted nothing more than to drink after this movie; have some fun, and enjoy the company of my friends. Above all, that is what the movie is aboutfriendship, and I will be truly surprised if any other film this year will allow me appreciate the friends that I have, as much as this film.
