USA, the Ontario Under graduate Student Alliance, will hold its first general meeting this weekend at both the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University. Thegoal, accordingto Catherine Coleman, president of the Federation of Students, is to bring “more students into the loop” of OUSA. Previously, she continued, only student “executives” had been involved with policy decisions and issues. All UW and WLU students are welcome to attend the two-day “assembly meeting,” which is held mainly in WLU’s Paul Martin Centre and Fed Hall. OUSA began in 1992, when several universities decided to form their own organisation after leaving the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS). UW held a popular referendum on OFS membership in 1992,

last year,” explained Booth, adding that students hadn’t been told why these new fees were to exist and why students had to pay them. WPIRG also claimed that the new fees could increase “at any time” without warning, and that the presidents of both the Federation and the Graduate Students Association did not notify their respective memberships until January 7, seven months after being made aware of the new fee possibilities. Federation president Catherine Coleman, however, disputed these claims, stating that they were not true and could be misleading. “Despite the errors, the spirit [of the question]; is still there, but it

is misleading,” says Coleman. “I don’t know how effective [the’ petition] will be.” Booth, however, doubts that the petition will succeed because not enough students are aware of the pending fees to fulfil the signature requirement, which he attributes to the lack of communication from the Federation on the issue. A similar petition has also been forwarded by a group of graduate students for the same reasons. That group has already succeeded in gaining the required 300 signatures to force the Graduate Student Association to a referendum, but plans to continue soliciting signatures to further promote their initiative.

Bill O’Riley, of Plant Operations said that, “ft only is a problem that occurs periodically like now when it is starting to slip. When it is bad we either send people over to block it off at the bottom or go up and knock it off.” He also said that, “The normal procedure is to wait until someone notifies them about it” He also mentioned that, “If the people can see it why are they walking underneath it?

n light of pending student services fees, a group of UW students have decided to petition the Federation of Students for a referendum on the issue. The petition, which has been circulating campus for just over two weeks, calls on the Federation to hold a referendum before March 3 I, 1994, to decide whether or not students will accept new ancillary fees or increases in existing fees above the cost of living. Under Federation bylaws, if the petition is signed by ten per cent of the Federation’s membership (approximately 3000 undergraduate stu-

dents), the Federation is obliged to call the referendum. Organized by the Ancillary Fees Working Group of the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG), the petition outlines the group’s concerns, including objections to the creation of new fees which do not cover new or improved services. According to Jason Booth, one of the petition’s organizers, the petition was organized as a response to the lack of information made available to students. “I came on campus in ]anuary...and there was this package deal that had been put together, which had been worked on since

Referendum on math endowment by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff

ath students may be following engineers in creating an endowment fund to combat increasing cutbacks to their faculty. On February I 5th and 16th, math students will be asked in a referendum if they wish to accept a fee of $3 1.42 on their fee statements to contribute to a math endowment fund. Eric Schmid, a 4N student in math has been working with Shirley Thompson, executive assistant to the dean of math, and Elaine Ooi, a previous president of the math soci-

ety, since last summer to initiate an increase in funding to the math faculty. The fee will be voluntary, and students can receive a refund during registration at Needles Hall. Schmid plans on patterning the fund after the engineering faculty’s endowment which gave WEEF a working budget of over $50 000 this year. The engineering fund was used to purchase WATSTAR computers, oscilloscopes and other equipment for all of the engineering faculties.

Schmid sees the fund improvd ing the first and second year tutorial centres for math students, as well as the computing resources in the math building. He is also hoping

thateventually, co-op employers will be able to match student contributions as they do in engineering. Aforumyesterdaywasarranged by the math society to discuss the issue, presenting both the “yes” and “no” sides, and another forum will be arranged to coincide with the Federation of Students elections. “Everyone thinks that it’s just another tuition increase, but after talking to them for a couple of minutes, 1 can say .well, we’re really putting the students in power with the fund, and we’re more in control of our own education this way. While it’s more money that you’re paying, it’s more beneficial to you as a student” added Schmid.

In last issue’s pg. 3 story, “No place for a man,” it was incorrectly reported that James Ruddell was acclaimed to his position as UofT Women’s Issues Officer. He was, in fact, elected by the Students Administrative Council one other over candidate, a woman, for the posiHon. Imprint apoligises for its poor choice of wording and any confusion. it has caused.

The Share-A-Ride programme at UW is modeled after a successfuf one in Toronto. The software used for that programme will have to modified slightly because it was designed to serve a community, not an institution. Kiss is the first to initiate a carpoqling programme for an institution, and is curious to see the responses and attitudes that DeoDle have towards the project. “‘Th’e university plays an ‘integral role in the Waterloo cornmunity, and due to its influential position it should strive to set an example to be followed by other insti-

private automobiles. If car occupancy in commuter trips was increased by a mere I%, 34 million litres of gasoline would be saved annually in Ontario. Additional reasons for Share-ARide are the reduction of rush hour traffic congestion as well as air and noise pollution, said Kiss. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communicationsand the Ministry of Energy also urge carpooling

Carpooling is not only a way to save a buck, it is an important environmental initiative, says UW Environment Resource Studies student Emese Kiss, who has proposed Share-ARide, a computerized carpooling programme to serve the University of Waterloo community. The main goal of the project is to cut down the number of cars coming to campus daily. This is necessat-y for several reasons. The “Campus Master Plan: framework for Developmerit,” which sets new goals for the campus, indicates that there will be a gradual loss of parking spaces due to development of the land for other purposes. According to Kiss, the potential energy savings are another valuable reason to carpool. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation estimates that 45% of the petroleum used in Canada is for transportation, 75% of which is used by

ished in The Garette,rand The iron Warrior, asking about students’ interest in the carpooling programme and their availability. The questionnaire also aims to find the level of enthusiasm of students. The questionnaire has already been distributed to staff and faculty; 537 responded, and of those I32 were interested. After receiving all the responses to the questionnaires, Kiss will analyse them and attemlpt to match interested carpoolers by their proximity to each other. If the reaction is not adequate, solutions will be proposed for overcoming the presented barriers in the future. However, Kiss feels confident and hopes to be able to present the university’s Board of Governors with a proposal to offer Share-A-Ride as a service to the campus. Response mailboxes are located iti several central locations on campus, including the Turnkey desk, South Campus Hall Bookstore, Optometry library, the Registrar’s office, Engineering building and in the General Services Complex at the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group. The deadline to answer the questionnaire is February I I.

Credits in history and political science can be obtained if a journal is kept and reports handed in at the end of the tour. Registration fees have to be paid for up to one full credit. The trip, however, is not limited to students. “A number of the people are correspondence students from different parts of Canada. Others are senior citizens who love to travel. There is a great mix of people..,” says Kasta. Usually about 25 people go, but any number is welcome. “I know how hard it is for students these days, but this trip is a great opportunity to learn and travel,“says Kasta. The travel/study program at UW was begun in 1989, and trips so far have been to a variety of Western European countries, and to Czechoslovakia. When the French Revolution had its bicentennial anniversary, the trip was to France. In 1992, the anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of America, the group travelled to Spain and Italy. The cost of the program is $3,350.00. This includes round-trip airfare, accommodations in tourist hotels, breakfasts and dinners, tour guides, lectures, and basically everything except travel insurance, airport tax and the credit fee. The fee, to be paid to the Registrar, will be approximately $240 per half credit. Travel dates are Aug. I4 to Aug.3 I.

Dr. Stan McKay, a member of the First Nation lectured this Wednesday to a packed Conrad Grebei chapel on the history of the Christian Mission to the Native Canadians. He addressed issues like the mistreatment of the indigenous people in Canadian history, the reluctance of the government to remedy these wrongdoings, and the attempt of native Canadians to reassert themselves by rediscovering their language and religion. None of what Dr.McKay discussed was particularly new. Yet, the issues have not lost their relevance. Probably because the native’s grievances have stilt not been addressed. The years since the white man entered Turtle Island (as America has been referred to in native mythology) are seen by natives as years of %urvival.” Even earliest contacts were disruptive, as European fishermen offered native men alcohol and raped the women and children. “There began a process of the dying of my people,“says McKay. “There began the process of imbalance.” After decades of mission schooling and the almost complete loss of

some aspects of native culture, including language, there is now, since the 19605, a resurgence of this culture. “When the trusting [ofthe church] fell away we became angry, and this anger rages on.” The Native community is now divided into two camps, according to McKay. On the one hand, there are natives who are building heating placer in their communities. Others have become so fully integrated as Christians that they deny their history and their people. McKay is standing in the middle. He believes that there is a place for both the Christian church and the nag tive past in indigenous culture. “I have known even in the darkest moments when I was [a student] at the Mission School there were always people who were there because dr ;ommitment and love...but there was always a flaw in the relationship,“says McKay. Today, despite numerous govet-nment apologies, not much has been done. “Children are still being taught to believe in savages,“said McKay, referring to images of natives in films, cartoons and even textbooks. What has to happen is that the two communities have to learn how to

live with each other. According to McKay, it is the white man who will have to do most of the learning. “Society is based too much on competition not sharing,“he finds. McKay believes that hismry is an extremely important part of a society, however, the history taught today was basically written from the perspective of the conqueror. “The deaths in the world wars have been extensively chronicled, but the deaths of the children in the mission schools have not,“says McKay. in May, the Aboriginal Circle will hold talking and listening circles at Conrad Grebel. More information will be published. There are almost I 1,000 natives in the K-W area. “White man” could do a tot to learn and to help destroy the stereotypes.

ebruary I through 7 is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, subtitled Breaking Free...Celebrating our Natural Body Size. A recently formed advisory commitee for the enhancement of self image, body image and health, made up of both UW and Laurier students will attempt to educate students on the poor self image, poor body image and eating disorders. The term eating disorders is much broader than just bulimia or anorexia. It also includes, dieting, excessive exercise, body and food perfection obsessions, overeating and undereating, bingeing, purging, calorie counting, taxative and diuretic use.as welt as mirror

Fras or scale fetishes. The Advisory Committee focuses on the celebration of our natural body shapes and sizes this week. They wish to raise awareness of our self perception, our uniqueness, and our coping mechanisms. In a world where there is so much media hype about how we should look, feel, and lead our lives, we forget what is truly important to and about us. Recovery of this perspective is essential in recovering our self esteem and in the healing of eating disorders. This week is for anyone whowants to learn something new and discoever something about him/herself. There will be a booth set up in the UW Campus Centre Great Hall Feb.1 and at the Laurier Concourse on Feb. 3 at 9:00 to 4:O0. Information about eating disorders wilt be available.

McGill hosts technology conference by David Carr special to Imprint n 1957, a gathering of renowned scientists and academics occurred I in Pugwash, Nova Scotia. They were responding to a call issued by Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein for a conference to discuss the threat of nuclear war to the survival of the human race. Einstein challenged that, “we need to think in a new way.” Since the original meeting, this informal movement has grown world wide, and its interests have broadened to include the sources of international conflict and the social reponsibilities of scientists. The intent was for the dialogue to be both stimulating and objective. Pugwash has international representation at the student and professional level. The members come from a variety of academic backgrounds, and anyone who is interested in the many impacts of science and technology on society has something to add to the discussions. The UW Student Pugwash is pleased to announce the conference *‘Changing Worlds: Preparing for a Technological Future” which will be held at McGill University on February 4-6, at the downtown Montreal campus. All University of Waterloo students are invited to attend. Some of the questions to be asked and examined in this conference include: ” How will our world be affected by technology in the next century? - What role will Canada have in shaping this future?

At this weekend’s premier meeting of the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance’s (OUSA) general assembly, the issue of accountability is bound to arise. Being one of that group’s main platforms, accountability must be an important ideal for them. But how accountable is OUSA itself! I would say that, while their intentions seem well spirited, they are hampered by two things - their decentralised structure, and their fear of admitting the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario had a good thing going. At present, OUSA is formed of the student governments of 5 or so universities (U of T is in, but not, because their part-time students are in, but their full time students haven’t decided yet). Each school has individually endorsed OUSA’s constitution, yet the OUSA assembly has not, leaving it a mere ideal in the minds student leaders. But the constitution is on the agenda for this weekend, so by next week they will finally have a constitution. Beyond the member schools there are two representative bodies (a steering committee and the assembly, which is meeting this weekend), and one employee, a political consultant named Titch Dharamsi, whose role, according to UW Federation president Catherine Coleman, is to guide OUSA’s policies into the halls of Queen’s

Park and act as a spokesperson

for the group.

The problem with this arrangemeniis that, unlike the Canadian Federation of Students, or most other organisations, there is no central command or defininable group which to question on OUSA’s policies. And while Titch Dharamsi is supposedly the central figure in the organisations, he was unaware of a major change in OUSA’s constitution when I talked to him on Tuesday. It seems that OUSA removed the limitation on the number of delegates a member school could have in the assembly, in order to satisfy a grumbling U of T, and Mr. Dharamsi was unaware of this, claiming that OUSA was not even considering the option - even after it had occurred. Not only does this raise questions as to the competence of OUSA’s political advisor, but also concerns over accountability. How can an organisation made up of several separate bodies really remain accountable, as a whole, to every student it represents. Of course there are the two main policy initiatives OUSA has released in the last eighteen months, but those, even, are not entirely effective nor adamantly followed. Their effectiveness is hampered by the notion of partnership sharing, wherein &JSA proposes to accept higher tuition in return for more government funding, or decries ancillary fees because the government should increasi funding to pay for those ancillary services. Probtern is, the government is not going to increase its funding, making these proposalr as outdated as any zero-tuition policy CFS could come up with. Further, member schools are not even sticking to their guns when presenting OUSA’s proposals, as Catherine Coleman proved when she presented the UW senate with OUSA’s antiancillary fee (among others) policy at the same meeting as she affirmed her participation in Uw’s ancillary fee committee. In the end, OUSA and its member schools have been hampered with the ghost of their previous CFS or QFS memberships. Not wanting to appear like a dedicated body of students with a clear mandate and structure, OUSA has overdosed on ambiguous, ineffective, and unaccountable structure and fails to stand behind its policies firmly. A few weeks ago, I noted here that OUSA is beginning to take a stand on issues. Now, however,

I’m

sure.

Perhaps

when

finally adopt their constitution this weekend they will feel sufficiently comfortable in their place and really begin to deal with the issues. Let’s hope so anyways, for the sake of all of us+

Sexism

feminism

and..

in high

places

Sexism is alive and kicking. However, this is a new type of sexism, a type possible only in a very liberated society. Sound like a contradiction? It’s not, because this sexism is by women. Over the last century, many landmarks in the quest for equality have been reached and passed. In I9 I8 women over 30 got the vote in England. I920 saw American women get the vote. And finally, in 1928, in a landmark decision, the British Privy council overturned a decision by the Canadian Supreme Court that said women could not hold public office because they were not offtcially persons, as defined in the British North America Act. Now, Canada is one of the few countries in the world to be able to boast virtually complete equality. Women get educated, drive cars, and have careers. Canada has even had a female Prime Minister (however briefly). While this state of affairs seems completely normal, it is by far the exception, on a global scale. This great equality has allowed women to discover themselves, to assert themselves, and to become just as sexist as men. I completely agree with what Justin Wells (who I have never met and do not know) wrote in his letter to the editor, in the January 7 edition of Imprint. “As women gain more self-confidence, they will become as violent as men are...in the midst of this evil I see a sign of something good: women are becoming less submissive, more cpnfident and more capable. Karla Homolka proves that women can abuse their freedom in the same terrifying ways that men can, but in this way, she’s a sign of growing equality.” While Karla Homolka is fortunately not a

A clarion example of my point was brought to prominence in the January IS issue of the Toronto Star. The article was entitled “Stepfather’s light sentence sparks outcry” and concerned the verdict given out by a judge in a sexual abuse case. The verdict was considered to be much too lenient. The prosecutor had asked for a four-year sentence but only a 23-month sentence was given out. The outcry came from many sources, including Elaine Teofilovici, director of the Women’s Centre of Montreal and Lisa Addario, director of legislation for the National Association of Women and the Law. Both of these women made clear their descriminatoty attitudes. “Both Teofilovici and Addario mentioned it was even more shocking that the decision came from a female judge,” (italics mine) Now we have to use a little bit of indirect reasoning here. If these prominent women are shocked by the fact that a bad judgement came from a female judge, does it not imply that they would not be shocked that a bad judgement came from a male judge? Of course it does. They are implying that male judges are more likely to give bad verdicts in sexual abuse cases than female judges. They would not be shocked otherwise. And in doing this, they demonstrate some fundamental prejudice and stereotyping of men. Why do they consider men to be more likely to give a light sentence (equivalent to abad sentence) than women ? Is this a general prejudice, or a specific one? I think that this is a specific bias, meaning that I think that these women are upset due to the nature of this specific trial. The only alternative would be that these women consider male judges incompetent in general and

trials. This can only mean that they think men are more tolerant of child molesters, for is not a light sentence reflective of a judge considering a crime to be minor? Is not the function of a sentence to reflect the severity of the crime, so that the criminals “debt to society” is paid? Of course it is. So, now we have established that these women consider men to be more tolerant of child molesters. Why is this! Are men naturalty inclined to pedophilia, and so have sympathy with those who indulge in it? This, it turns out, is not the case. In fact, convicted child’molesters frequently have to be put in solitary confinement for their own protection, as the other convicts take it upon themselves to punish these criminals above and beyond what society had in mind when consigning them to jail. There is a question that needs to be asked now. Let US for a moment assume that there is a statistically verified discrepancy (and I have no evidence that there is) between verdicts in sexual abuse cases from male and female judges, and that this discrepancy is that sentences from male judges are consistently shorther that sentences from female judges. These women are convinced that men hand out verdicts that are too lenient. Could it not be that female judges hand out sentences that are too severe? Perhaps women are overly sympathetic with victims of sexual abuse, and dish out stiffer penalties as a result? These women, in positions to influence public sentiment and public policy have unjustified biases against men. Why is this tolerated? Because they’re women? Sexist men are no longer condoned by society, but are women? The liberation of women has now reached the

I am writing to express my feelings toward the article about David Ruddell being acclaimed as Women’s Issues Officer-for U ofT’s Student’s Administrative Council. It seems to me that there exists some insecurity about someone male voicing the concerns for female U of T students. Obviously Mr. Ruddell expressed interest in not only being a voice for women, but abolishing the idea of whining women creating their own group to whine more. I believe Mr. Ruddell will create a unique objectivity which is normally uncommon among women’s groups. Since Mr. Ruddell is obviously not female, we can only hope that he will have the sense to validate any points he will present in the future with female consultants in order to justify the unfortunate (to women commenting in the article) fact that he is male. Maybe Mr. Ruddell will break down the ignorance barriers between men and women about women’s issues which have unfortunately been created by women themselves. Maybe Mr. Ruddcll will allow men to stop saying “I just don’t understand them.”

. ..nobody else [sic] wanted it To the editor= Regarding the article of David Ruddell’s acclaimed post as Women’s Issues Officer at the University of Toronto (January 2 I, l994), I am disappointed in the opinions expressed by the UW Womyn’s Centre. While I can understind that it makes sense that a Women’s Issues post be held by a woman, the statement that Ruddell should “not have even attempted to acquire this position” is out of line. In any electoral process, candidates come forward with their views/campaigns and their f&te is decided by the voting population. I have no knowledge of the intentions of David Ruddell and hope that he is sincere in this cause. However, he was ACCLAIMED to the position not ELECTED to the position as erroneously stated by the anonymous source in the Womyn’s Ceng tre. I would infer from this that no one else, regardless of gender, sought to gain the position. I would also think that it is more appropriate to have a MAN fulfill the duties of the Women’s Issues Officer than leave the position vacant The U of T campaign against “allowing a man in that position” strikes me as a contradiction to the opinion expressed by Womyn’s Centre at UW that “women have to gain their ow? voice.” Gaining one’s voice requires that the voice be heard in the appropriate forums, before situations such as this at U of T arise. It’s quite difficult to argue that someone is inappropriate for a position when it seemed that no one else wanted it

paper. C’Clifton on Craig.“) I was pleased because it was printed; and I was disappointed because of a little sloppy proofreading which allowed the letter’s central paragraphs to be quite mangled and rendered incomprehensible, In the hopes that better care will be taken this time, I here repeat my complaints verbatim: (this was in response to Craig’s UWSCM column instalment of Jan. 14,) “As a student of religious studies,” you ought to be more aw&-e of how mu;h a religion is informed by the culture(s) in which it persists. Of course the religion informs the culture as well, indirectly by its aesthetic imaging, and directly by its attempts to teach values to its ad herents; but, given that a number of the most ancient religions we know about contained strong,mtriarchai mythologies, it is hardly a plausible claim that religion (or religion alone) is the cause or promoter of all the patriarchal and/or misogynistic tendencies any culture may maintain. Even historically patriarchal religions have not been consistently or “officially” misogynistic+ Those periods during which the abuse or oppression of women has been tolerated have, so the records suggest, been periods of apostasy from the foundational moral principles of the religion. The decrease in, or elimination of, misogynistic behaviours has tended to coincide with, and be a part of, a general restoration and re-education of those principles. The rest of my comments, as published, were what I wrote, but the mangling of these two paragraphs gave the incorrect impression that I was tying the restoration offoundational principles with misogyny, which is contrary to what the corrected form says.

Your letter raised one of the most crucial questions concerning the study of religion, that being the tools we use to criticize it The question you raise is simply too large to respond fully in the space allotted, but what I will say is that the problem of violence, misogyny and religion (in this case “my” religion which is Christianity) is an internal problem within the Scriptures (8ible) themselves. Many of the attitudes of Ilesus. a lew, towards women seem to contradict other views in scripture that view women

as property almost in the same way as cattle or oxen. It is not only the social scientist who criticizes religion, but the religious prophet’s often are found criticizing their own religion. On a more interesting note, I live on Dorset St. and just received some mail of yours. This may be called synchronicity or providence or just chance, but if you desire to get it my number is in the book. Second, Michael Clifton. I am glad you found the time for my worthless ‘article. Your criticisms, except for culture influencing religion, are not pleasing to my state of “bliss;” (a) “informed by political trendiness and pop views.” From what I can tell, people so far have responded to my views as being either “politically correctJ’ “macho,” or simply “blasphemous.” I don’t consider myself representing these views. AS far as pop culture is concerned, I believe in North America that we must be in touch with pop culture. I soon learned after trying to relate Karl Rahner’s theology to my hockey buddies back home that the v& cabulary of sophisticated philosophy and theology albeit important is not available to all people, yet all types of people may have religious faith. If you like, feel free to write an article of 500 words and put it in the Student Christian Movement box in the Club Rooms - I’11print it. (b)“blame any religion for all of the deranged, misogynistic psychopaths.” My article was merely pointing out the fact that the great religions have formed a great part of our attitude toward the world we relate to and that these attitudes must be re-examined. For many people “of the book,” ie Muslims, some Jews; Christians and Sikhs, the words in the religious texts transcend culture and are timeless truths. -(c} Concerning the strong matriarchal mythologies you speak about These mythologies and images do exist in the major religious traditions, as well. i.e, Jesus as SophiaIWisdom, but the great majority of religious views are without a doubt almost exclusivelv # IDatriarchal.

So, I have been thinkingabout Pascal’s Wager. Now, I know that Pascal has often been misrepresented, his wager wasn’t meant to offer proof of god’s existence, he was addressing a specific audience and so on and so forth but, as many of my religious friends (oh yes, believe it or not, I have friends) have often used a version of this argument to show me how placing my Faith in Christianity is a “good bet,” I feel compelled to discuss it. Now, the simplified version of the argument goes like this: I have a choice between atheism and accepting Christ as my saviour. If I accept Christ as my saviourthen I should live a Christian lifestyie and expect a reward in Heaven. Or, I could choose the atheist lifestyle of drunken and sexual debauchery and expect to be eaten by worms when I die. lfb as a Christian, I turn out to be right, then I get an eternal reward for my troubles as well as the pleasure inherent in a “moral” lifestyle. If, as an atheist, I turn out to be right then I will get the hedonistic pleasure thatgoes with my lifestyle. However, if, as a Christian, I am wrong, then I will never know and still have had the pleasure of a “moral” life. If, on the other hand, I am an atheist and turn out to be wrong, then I will miss out on eternal bliss (and perhaps suffer in eternal torment). The choice is clear right? WRONG! The first problem with this is deciding what a Christian lifestyle would entail. If I were to listen to those types who hand out Jack Chick publications, then simply being Catholic would represent a one way ticket to Hell. If, on the other hand, I were listen to Ken Craig, then I could pursue a less restricted lifestyle than I now face and join Sid Vicious in Heaven. What to do? Who do I place my bet with? And, of course, there are all those other religions to contend with. I mean, I don’t wish to anger Allah. If I am correct in my understanding of Islam, then positing that god could have a mortal

son is akin to blasphemy. So, do I take my chances of accepting Christ at the risk of going against Islam? Further, I do not wish to have my heart eaten by Anubis, so I have to take that into account Also, my next door neighbour argues that, if I don’t throw salt over my shoulder every seven days, I will be devoured by rabid walruses when I die. Okay, I was lying about the rabid walruses but my point is that you can’t bet on unsupported metaphysical statements as any real choice. Pascal’s wager only holds if you give credence to the argument that there is an either/or choice between Christianity and atheism. This presents a problem in that there are many conflicting views of what Christianity entails as well as an infinite supply of other directives from opposed religions. The wager, in of itself, does not offer any good reason to choose one package of religious beliefs over another. Further, it seems odd to treat the question of what you should believe as a wager in the first place. I am not an atheist because I feel that it is a ticket to a life of hedonistic pleasure. Au Contraire mon frere! I come to this conclusion because of the lack of evidence offered on the part of the theists. No matter how desirable certain propositions are, such as the proposition that there is an all powerful being who loves you, we should not buy into them without evidence, if we are lovers of truth. The fact that there is no god really doesn’t grant me, or most anyone else, with a licence to be immoral. In fact, I am left with the reality that a certain amount of work and consideration for others is necessary if I am going to live a fulfilling life. I am left with standards of behaviour that are, at least in part, adopted by the more successful religions because they are rational. Truth can be discovered by reason alone, you can bet on that.

“When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake. And Earth throws up her burdens. And human cries (distressed):‘what is the matter with her?’ That Day she will relate her chronicles. For that your Lord (Allah) inspires her. That Day will people proceed in companies sorted out, to be shown their deeds. Then whosa does an atom’s weight of good will see it then. And whoso does an atom’s weight of evil will see it then.” -translation of the meaning of the Qur’anic verses [99: l-81

The final Earthquake after death (1) by Khaled

and

Lffe

Shumf

The explanation that the Qur’an gives about the necessity of life after death is what moral consciousness of human demands. Actually, if there is no life after death, the very belief in God becomes irrelevant or even if one believes in God, that would be an unjust and indifferent God: having once created man not concerned with his fate. Surely, Allah is Just “Then, on that day, not a soul will be wronged in the least, and you shall but be repaid the meeds of your past deeds” [36:54]. Anyone who denies the life after death may be asked a simple question and be invited to reflect on it In your previous stage of life, as an embryo in your mother’s womb, if you were approached somehow and told that after a certain period of time you would come out and be able to fill your lungs with fresh air, to see various lights and hear various sounds coming from far away, to eat independently a variety of food, to walk on your own fees even to travel over distances millions of times the dimensions of the womb you are curled in and to be completely independent of it, would you have believed all these FACTS then? The Qur’anic parables given to simplify the idea of the second life are straightforward and easy to grasp. “It is Allah Who sends forth the Winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and We (Allah) drive them to a land that is dead, and revive the earth therewith after its death: even so (will be) the resurrection!” [ 35:9]. Hence, if we can see or experience such things in our life here below, can we doubt the resurrection of ourselves when we die here? In another verse, Allah says “It is He (Allah)

Who does take your souls by night, and has knowledge of all that you have done by day, by day does He raise you up again; that a term appointed be fulfilled; in the end unto Him will be your return; then will He show you the truth of all that you did” [6:60]. Here, the mystery of sleep (the twin brother of death) is called the taking out of our soul by Him. By day we awaken (are resurrected) again to our activities, and so it goes on until we fulfill the term of our life appointed for this earth. Then comes the other Sleep (death), and then in the end comes the Resurrection and Judgement, at which we see everything clearly for that is the final Reality. In exposing the weakness of those who disbelieve in life after death, the Qur’an using a logical and rational arguments says “And he (disbeliever) has coined for us (God) a similitude, and has forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: who will revive these bones when they have rotten away? Say (0’ Muhammad): He will revive them who produced them at the first, for He is the Knower of every creation. Who has appointed for you fire from the green tree, and behold! you kindle from it. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth, able to create the like of them? Yes, and He is indeed the Supreme Creator, the AllKnowing” [36:78-8 I].

aid

Recently a delegation from the Inter-Church Committee on Human Rights in Latin America (ICCHRIA) returned from a fact-finding mission to the Mexican state of&hiapas. The ICCHRIA is a ecumenical social justice coalition supported by a wide range of Canadian church groups committed to monitoring human rights abuses in Latin America. The delegation went to Chiapas in response to reports of violations of civil rights by the Mexican army in their attempt to put down the rebellion by the Zapatista National Liberation Army. They found evidence that the Mexican army were bombing Indian villages and killing innocent civilians. ln addition they discovered the army was responsible for many abductions, disappearances, cases of torture and were restricting the movements of the press, aid workers and church clergy. On their return to Canada the ICCHRLA delegation, urged the Canadian government to discuss the issue at the United Nations and at the Organization of American States. However, the government refuses to get involved in what it considers the internal problems of another country. For the human rights and church groups working in Chiapas including the ICCHRLA, the rebellion was not a surprise. The indigenous people of Chiapas are the most forgotten, marginalized and discriminated against group in Mexico. Hunger, disease, poverty and death are the constant companions of the people. In addition, the violation of human rights is a permanent aspect of life in Chiapas with government sanctioned murder, torture and kidnapping. Even

Mexico

Catholic Bishop Samuel Ruiz, a defender of the indigenous peoples, is the target of a gbvernment campaign to remove him from his post. As early as I99 I ICCHRLA and other groups had promoted the necessity of providing protection for human rights within any North American Free Trade Agreement However, any cries for the protection of the people were drowned out by the multimillion dollar public relations blia in the rest of North America by the Mexican government which promoted the country as a stable democracy and reliable trading partner. As a result NAFTA was signed with no protection at all for the oppressed people of Mexico. But the Zapatista uprising has refocused public attention on the real Mexico that is not represented in the government information campaigns. Canada has a moral obligation to act in order to bring about positive change in our southern neighbours. Canada has made a linkage in the past between human rights and trade such as with South Africa and Haiti. Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thegovernment do it again? It is not acceptable to turn a blind eye to a regime that is killing its own citizens. As Christians it is our responsibility to stand with the poor and the oppressed as Jesus did. We can do this by pressuring our government to act for the disadvantaged people of Chiapas. NAFTA must be renegotiated to correct the systematic and epidemic violations of human rights in Mexico today. We must also continue to support organizations such as ICCHRLA who are working for change. flease contact your church to see how you can get involved.

Unfortunately, this would discourage the potentially massive increase in fortuitous meetings between fiberglass and steel that the spatially challenged might provoke. Too bad; a deluge of carnage is just what our failing economy needs right now. After all, each time there’s an accident the GNP goes up, This is an ominously disturbing truth about our failure to account for the effects of production and consumption in real terms. It is about time we learned to subtract from as well as add to our GNP. Alas for the time being this remains wishful thinking. Economics is not a science; it is merely politics in disguise. Thankfully for those who make policy, there are few truly dissenting voices in the world. Most of us get the majority of our information on ‘current issues’ from televised news programming. (66% of us actually). In this tand of film clips and catchy sound-bites, newsworthiness is often determined by an item’s ease of packaging.

Why are we all so willing to form opinions on major issues based on the limited, superficial coverage that is offered to us by the average evening news show? A typical half-hour broadcast ofthis sort provides about half a newspaper page worth of news and approximately eight minutes worth of paid advertising.

If things really got out of hand, we might just stop watching television altogether. Thats ok. I think that the only reason people really like watching T.V. is that it presents us with a world in which no one watches T.V.

People must endeavour to start the movement in a mosaic of grassroots organizations.

What I began to discover were the countless wonderful subtleties that made life different, rich, and sometimes even a bit better. Narrow streets, shops within walking distance, people actually gathering in public places, genuine interest in municipal politics, and a bior even tri-lingual population are all qualities which were not legislated or planned but have always

Rome does have its suburban sprawl, economic free-fall and a scenic yellow fossil fuel cloud that can turn your snot to soot. These attributes make it difficult to lose yourself in romantic sentimentality for Rome’s glorious past. However, some simple lessons about a different quality of life have seeped into my world. They have given me inspira’tion and perhaps even a little faith in our ability to build things which don’t just burst into being from an intellectual void. (Maybe even a few that people who aren’t architects will call beautiful.) My friends have all assured me that what I suffer from is merely a sizable dose of culture shock and that if I take two beers and get a good night’s sleep, it will pass. I’ll admit that the beer is better here at home, but sometimes we should pause and think of a place where they may have already solved some of the problems we are trying to learn our way out of.

ernment officials, who feared the disease of one herd would spread to the cattle outside the park. These threats to Wood Buffalo National Park illustrate the impact of unsustainable activities outside protected areas. Because of the cumulative impact of these pressures, the park has suffered serious degradation. It seems necessary that park values play a greater role in influencing decisions made outside park boundaries.

by Sandra de Ruiter special to Imprint Canada’s parks and natural areas are being adversely affected by activities beyond their boundaries. Parks and natural areas serve a number of vital functions; they provide tourism opportunities, preserve wildlife, and protect such unique ecosystems as watersheds and old-growth forests. Although these are positive objectives, there are many threats to our national parks. Some of the least obvious yet most fatal threats to our national parks originate externally. In fact, in I990 the Canadian Parks Service told Parliament that all of Canada’s national parks were threatened by some form of commercial development on lands outside their boundaries. Although Canada’s park system is quite extensive, these factors are increasingly threatening their health and existence. It is becoming more and more apparent that setting lands aside in the form of parks is not enough, ALGONQUIN PARK Many people imagine that upon reaching Algonquin Park, they are entering a completely natural environment. Certainly, the air, water, and forests are far more natural here than in the regions where most of us !ive. It is naive, however, to believe that the highly industrialized society in which we live does not effect ail stretches of our planet. The animals that once thrived in the Algonquin forests and lakes are threatened by many humaninduced influences. For example, before the early 1960’s, you might have found a nesting pair of PeregrineFaiconsonAlgonquin’s magnificentcliffs.

We did it by pouring DDT on our crops, not realizing that the DDT and its equally poisonous breakdown products are very long-lasting, and, when eaten by animals, tend to stay in their bodies permanently. Small birds from Algonquin and even more remote areas become contaminated when they spend the winter months in Southern ares where DDT is used. The effects of acid rain are also having dire consequences on Algonquin. In fact, the pH level of the rain there is so acidic that fish could not survive in it.

ing hundreds in Algonquin, are sensitive to or affected by acid rain in some capacity. The truth that we all must realize is that no park, regardless of its remoteness, is an island. There are no havens from the dangers of longlived pesticides and airborne chemical pollution.

TEMAGAMJ Ontario’s Temagami is one of the world’s largest remaining old-growth red and white pine forests, and is one of the last major accessible wildernesses in Eastern Canada. Unfortunately, this forest is being threatened in at least two important ways. First, the Ministry of Natural Resources has issued notice to begin logging and has lifted the softwood lumber tax. These factors have resulted in at least two mills requesting permission to cut in Temagami. Secondly, prospectors and mining companies are also able to employ destructive mining practices in this delicate area. The Temagami wilderness is clearly threatened by mining and logging. It may, in fact, be lost forever if actions are not taken to protect this unique area.

WHAT CAN BE DONE? Perhaps the current degradation of natural areas in Canada could have been averted with the existence of a clear and environmentally responsible policy concerning the protection of rare and WOOD BUFFALO NATIONAL PARK Neither the size nor the remoteness of ecologically vital areas in Canada. parks are sufficient The federal and provincial governbuffers for the external pressures that ments have yet to crethreaten their survival. ate an effective policy of this sort.

These include the construction of mills on several rivers flowing into the park, commercial logging, agricultural activities on lands adjacent to the park, and several proposed hydroelectric dams located upstream from the park. A number of forest management agreements have been approved in the province of Alberta, including one for lands adjacent to the park. There is concern that these logging operations will increase siltation in the rivers flowing into the park. The result would be a loss of habitat and contamination of fish stocks. The park’s delta is in grave danger, because the Bennett Dam on the Peace River holds back the spring floodwaters which naturally inundate the delta. A recent study indicated that 20% of the area’s most productive wetlands have disappeared. There is speculation that the delta could dry up as soon as fifty years from now unless proper management of the dam begins.

lead.

Now, that’s how to rebound in style. After enduring a l-4 start, the University of Waterloo Warrior basketball squad exploded against the nationally ranked Brock University Badgers last Saturday, romping I 14-90. The Warriors raised their record to 3-4 on Wednesday night by torching the lowly Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks 92-7 I before the PAC crowd. Tomorrow, the Warriors play the Western Mustangs in London. Thegame is televised on CHCH I 1 at 2 p.m. The man to watch for Western is forward Michael Lynch, who leads the OUAA West in scoring average at 26.0 points per game. But UW head coach Tom Kieswetter stresses that Lynch is not what can beat you against Western. “The key against the Mustangs is their system,” Kieswetter said Wednesday night. “Lynch is a great player, but just a part of their system. They pass the ball so well that they can substitute in bench players and not be hurt very much. That’s what we’ll having to start stressing at practice tomorrow (Thursday) is learning their system.” One of UW’s four losses was to those pesky Badgers in St. Catharines a couple of weeks ago by a disappointing 89-68 score, which made Saturday’s win all the more sweet. Waterloo led by only five, 49-44, at the half, but exploded for 65 secondhalf points, including a 20-2 run in the first five minutes to open up a 69-46

Alex Urosevic played demonically on offence, pouring in 28 points on I I of- I9 shooting, while Mike Duarte added more than a few clips to his personal highlight reel on defence. Kieswetter attributed the team’s offensive success, especially in the second halves of the last two games, to a team concept. “The ball’s getting distributed,” Kieswetter said. “As a result, we’re getting better shots. And the ball’s still gettingbacktoourshootersandthey’re having big days.” Despite the offensive totals, the play o’ the game, and the season so far, was a Duartian masterpiece in Brock’s end midway through the first half. Brock shooting guard Allen McDougall came down with the rebound of a Chris Moore trey attempt and attempted a routine outlet pass. Somehow, Duarte dove just in time to get his hand on the ball and flick it back to McDougall. The Badger tried to pass it again, only with the same result: Duarte blocked it back toward Brock’s baseline. The double deflection, on its own, would have been enough to make the Hebsies in any league, but Duarte still wanted possession. He hurled himself out of bounds and saved the ball back to Sean VanKoughnett, who drew the McDougall foul and nailed the free throws. “Mike has an energy and intensity that has an affect upon the whole team,” Kieswetter said. “He picks us up defensively went he steps on the court.” Three other Warriors reached

the 20-point threshold: VanKoughnett had 25 points, including 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. Sophomore point guard B. J. York kicked in 23, fuelled by 4-of-7 threepoint shooting. Third-year post-player Tom Balfe contributed 20 points and was perfect in his six trips to the freethrow line. Urosevic,VanKoughnett, and Balfe also accounted for 37 of Waterloo’s 50 rebounds. Fouls were the story of the day for Waterloo, especially in that remarkable second-half. Brock shot only 52 per cent from the stripe (I 6-of-3 I), white Waterloo shot 74 per cent and scored 32 points on free throws. Dave Picton and McDougall led the Badgers in scoring with 25 and 23 points, but Picton had an abysmal shooting day, connecting on only 8-of-23 field goals, including 3-of- IO on thkeepointers. McDougall opened with a pair of treys, but UW replied with nine straight on a Urosevic basket and foul, a VanKoughnett trey, and a Urosevic long-distance call. Brock took the lead briefly in the first half, by 29-27 and 3 I-29, but a VanKoughnett trey pvt Waterloo ahead forgood 32-3 I. Urosevic scored eighth of Waterloo’s I7 points in the rest of the half (he had I 6 at the half). Urosevic started the second where he left off the first., with a trey. Brock’s first field goal came 5:27 into the half and the Badgers pulled to within I 3 with seven minutes to play on Tatti’s three-point play. Picton’s heroics, including treys on two consecutive possessions, couldn’t pull it out for the Badgers.

Waterloo led by only I4 with just over two minutes left, but went on an I l-l run to end the game, with a York trey adding the exc’lamation point and giving Waterloo a tie-breaking edge if Brock and Waterloo end the season with the same win-loss record (the 24point margin of victory exceeds Brock’s 2 I -point win in St. Catharines). On Wednesday night, Waterloo’s offence struggled in the first half, but, just like against Brock, opened up in the second for 54 points. Urosevic scored 22 and three other Warriors saw double figures. VanKoughnett, Moore, and Balfe had 17, 16, and I4 respectively. Balfe also hauled down I 2 boards. Hopkins did not dress for the game because of a hand infection, but he is probable for tomorrow’s Mustang match. Luckily, Waterloo did not need all of the team at 100 per cent versus the lowly Hawks. Laurier had little to combat the Warriors’ tenacious pressure defence once the home team turned up the heat. Peter Kratz poured in 3 I points for Laurier, but they scored only 71 as a team. In the first half, Kratz accounted for I7 of WLU’s 29 points. Centre Shawn Roach had a surprisingly poor game, shooting only 8-of-22 from the field in scoring 19. Waterloo led by only nine points at the half, but outscored Laurier 4 I- I8 to take a 30-point edge with 5:S2 to PlayWith UWs bench on for garbage minutes against Kratz and Roach and three pylons, the Hawks crawled back into the game to lose by only 2 I.

Varsity squash teams shine at tourneys by Tyler Imptint

Millard spurts

The Waterloo Warrior squash team went to Ryerson last weekend for the OUAA crossovers. The Warriors lost only three of their 27 matches this weekend, displaying their continued dominance over the east section. The finish gives the squad second seed, behind Western, going into the OUAA finals in two weeks. Team captain Bruce Marrison was on fire with his most noteworthy victory coming over former OUAA individual champion Dan Vranesic the University of Toronto. After winning this match 3-0, Marrison gained uncontrollable confidence and with his speed to the ball and surgeon-like hands, he often left his opponents feeling beguiled and confused. Tyler Millard, undefeated at the number-two position, had a tough match against Queen%. Down two games to none he had no room for error, but with the support of the team and coach Barney Lawrence, he fought back bravely to destroy his weakened opponent 9-O in the fifth game to win the match 3-2. His Trent opponent, Tara Sharpe, showed excellent shot makingand strategy. Her experience and enthusiasm is

certainly an asset to the league. Mike Zidar playing in his last year of eligibility, showed excellent sportsmanship and knowledge of the game as he went undefeated. Zidar had tough competition with his Queen’s opponent, but with heart stopping vigour and knee deep breathing, he won the battle 3-2. Andrew Olyjnik, playing number four, went undefeated against some tough competition. His dedication and love for the game has rewarded him as he has improved steadily over the past three years and has established himself as a fine squash player. Brian Eldridge, playing the f&h position on the team, also went undefeated and displayed excellent strokes and court sense. His strong determination held off a difficult and cunning McMaster opponent to win 3-2. Stefan “Edberg” Leyhane, had tough competition all weekend, and his determination was pushed to new levels. The hard hitter has a strong likeness to Stefan the real Edberg and with very similar court demeanour acquired the nickname “Tennis”. The team is ready and anxious for the upcoming OUAA team finals. tawrence is expecting a place in the finals where they will undoubtedly face a determined Western team.

The Athena squash squad set out to Toronto for the OWIAA individual squash championships last weekend. Teammates shuffled positions as their number-one player Christine Anderson graduated last term and two other players, Marielle Baer and Nancy Lee, left for co-op work terms. Tabatha Frosts, playing in numbersix position due to an ankle injury, played outstandingly despite the slippery court conditions. Froats overpowered both her McMaster and Ryerson opponents 3-O on her way to the semi-finals in the B consolation. Despite her great length and agility, Froats lost U-3 in the semis to Western. Rookie Evelyn Yeoung moved to fifth position on the team and fought bravely against her more experienced opponents. Yeoung displayed excelltntsquash

consistent length. She lost her first match to Toronto but showed determination and good form as she proceeded to the finals defeating two other opponents from Western 3-O. Five-year veteran and captain of the team Heather MacLeod showed her mental finesse and winning court strategy as she defeated Western 3-O to proceed to the semifinals in the A ,consolation round. Despite her amazing cross courts, MacLeod was defeated by her own teammate in the semis, 3-I. Susan Jones, ranked second, met some tough competition in the A draw. In her first match, she overpowered her Toronto opponent and won 3-O. Against both Queen’s and McMaster, Jones demonstrated her excellent length shot and good shot selection; however, she lost both

matches 3-O. Honee Hoculik moved into the number-one spot when Anderson left. In her first match she met up with the winner of the tournament and lost 3-O. Overpowering Ryerson 3-0, Hoculik moved into the semis to face teammate MacLeod and won 3- I. Western was the competition for the finals in the A consolation for Hoculik and despite what strength she had left she lost 3-I.

Hockey team stays on roll by Nicholas

Mew

Imprint sports

Bad weather may have nearly forced the Ice-Men off the road on their way up to the frozen wasteland of Sudbury. but nothing could stop the Black and Gold juggernaut once it hit the ice last weekend. Two more wins, these on the road, have solidified the Warriors’ lock on the final playoff spot in the OUAA’s Far West division, and have prepared them to take a run at Wilfrid Laurier’s position of second. Waterloo’s magic number is now three to clinch a playoff spot, and they stand only I I points behind the Golden Hawks, with one remaining game between the two remaining, at Waterloo. The Warriors have now put together a four-game winning streak, and hope to keep on these winning ways over the last seven games. last night, Water-too went to Guelph (details unavailable at press time), and tomorrow sees the Ice-Men travel to Toronto to take on the Varsity Blues. Waterloo also travelled to Toronto last weekend, taking on the slumping Ryerson Rams on Friday in St. Michael’s Arena, and the Warrior men really gave it to the Goats, 9-2. Things did not Iookgood early on, starting with the fact that the referee didn’t show up, leaving only two officials on the ice to call the game. While these two did their best, it became apparent very early on why there are supposed to be three officials to cover a game, as the linesmen missed penalty after penalty, and tried to make up for it by calling marginal penalties later on. The first period was lullaby material, as it could have lulled an insomniac in a construction zone to sleep, and at the end the score was knotted at one apiece. In between periods, UW coach Don McKee showed what the word “crescendo” meant, as he spoke to his players in the dressing room. Starting very softly and gently, McKee gradually worked up to a fever pitch (much like Adolf Hitler at Nuremberg), until he and the boys were hot enough to melt steel, and were motivated enough to go out and really give it to the Ryerson boys, who were still asleep. Ryerson did get the next goal, however, but that only served to fire

up the Black and Gold even more, that goal signalling the end of Ryerson’s scoring, and leading up to a string of eight unanswered goals by the Warriors. The Warriors could have had many more goals, but fired shot after shot off the posts and crossbar, as well as turning Ryerson goalie Andrew Escott into a puck punching-bag. Rather than stopping the shots, he was just there, as the Warriors appeared to fire them into him. One Waterloo rush was a fouron-one, with forward Steve “Dog” Woods carrying the puck all the way through, only to fire his shot into the midsection of the goalie, whereas normally this would have been a goal. An outstanding game was had by forward Chris Kraemer, left winger of the Warriors’ “Demolition Line,” which features Steve “Heart and Soul” Smith at centre, and Dean MacDonald on the right side. Kraemer ended up with four assists on the game, and plowed more than one Ram to the ice. For these feats he was given the player of the game award for the Warriors. Team scoring was evenly distributed, but here’s the breakdown for those of you keeping track at home: defenceman Brian “Hammerin”’ Henry (I G-2A); fellow blueliner Neil Ethier (2G); Steve Smith, Jason “Swervyn” Mervyn, and Geoff Rawson (I G- IA each); with single goals coming from Sheldon “Cookie” Gilchrist, John Williams, and captain Geoff Schneider. Immediately following the Ryerson game, the Ice-Men had to endure the Road Trip From Hell, as they drove all night through snow squalls and slippery roads up to Sudbury, to face the Laurentian Voyageurs. In the end the trip was worth it, as the Warriors stole two points from Laurentian in their home rink, something Waterloo has had trouble doing over the past few seasons. The Warriors opened the scoring on a goal by number 24, Drew Rees, and held a two-goal lead by the end of the first. After that, it was ‘*Thanks for inviting us up,” as the Voyageurs only managed to get one past the brick wall between the pipes for the Warriors, “Gentleman” James organ.

Buoyed by last Wednesday’s thrilling, five-set win over the McMaster Marauders to claim sole possession of first place in the OUAA West, the Black Plague volleyball Warriors flew out of Toronto’s Pearson Airport on Thursday. Destination: Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Still pumped from the Mac match, the Plague dominated their pool, destroying the University of New Brunswick Red Devils, the Guelph Gryphons, and coming back from being down 2-O against the Dalhousie Tigers to win in five 3-2. With a perfect record, and finishing first in their pool, Waterloo took

on the Queen’s Golden Gaels, who finished second in the other division. Falling apart at the seams on defence, Waterloo was beaten 3-O in the semifinals. The last day saw U W bounce bat k and defeat the Western Mustangs 3-l for the bronze medal. Special mention should be given to Sean Smith and Mat Reed who were nominated by the coaches at the tournament as all-stars for their outstanding play. The host Tigers beat the Golden Gaels for the gold, 3-l ). With the season quickly drawing to a close, the Warriors have an out-

standing chance to finish first in the OUAA West and take home court all the way through the playoffs. The next step to that goal is when the Plague fry up some Chicken Hawks when they play at Laurier tonight, Friday, January 28 at 8:00 p.m+ The Athena volleyball team plays at 6~00 p.m.). Come on out and put at least a thousand screaming Waterloo volleyball fans in the stands and we’ll have 999 more fans than they have! See you at the game -- if you have plans that night, thegame itself shouldn’t take very long, so you’ll have plenty of time to party up afterwards!

McMaster still ranked despite Waterloo’s season sweep by Peter Imprint

Brown sports

That’s right, it’s sour grapes time. Like bitching about the state of officiating in the OUAA, whining at the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union’s top-ten rankings seems to be a job left to cynical, old coots like me. This week’s CIAU men’s volleyball rankings have the McMaster Marauders at number nine, down from eighth last week. Not that this is a crime, but what the list omits is. Namely, the Waterloo Warriors. Obviously, the CIAU takes exhibtion tournament play and lots of other terribly important stuff into account and forgets the fact that the Black Plague have swept the Marauders in league play this season, in Hamilton last fall and at the PAC last week. Three words: what the hell??

Athenas by Shannon Vankoughnett Imprint sports On January 19, the Athena hoopsters travelled to the Steel City to do battle with the McMaster Marauders. It was definitely a day where there would be no Big Mac Attack in the dark cold dungeon Mac students laughingly call a gym. The UW basketball women took the form of Ronald McDonald and finished off Mac by a score of 6261. In a contest that was close for the entire 40 minutes, the black and gold prevailed in the final minutes by flogging the Marauders with intensive offense and “in-their-pants” defence. In the end, the Athenas conquered the women from the Steel City, proving

for both Ryerson and Laurentian, but Organ would somehow get his glove or blocker or pad or stick over at the last possible second and keep the frozen rubber from bouncing into the net. Against Laurentian, Organ faced 40 shots, stopping 39, and his simply

amazing play warranted the hockey team nominating him for athlete of the week. Scoring for Waterloo against laurentian was John Wynne, who played an extremely strong game, also picking up a helper on a goal by Gilchrist Gilchrist in turn reciprocated, setting up Wynne’s goal for an assist himself. Rounding out the scoring, and putting the game completely out of reach for Laurentian was Dean MacDonald, who fired a shot from outside the blue line, and this marker went straight into the middle of the net. Game Over, Wynne pointed out that he has a tough time getting “up” and pumped for games against some of the weak sisters in the OUAA, but he was raring to go against the Sudbury slashers.

Miller crushed his own record of 4.65 metres, which he established last year in Toronto. Sarah Brown also did some damage as she ran 3 PBS and collected both a silver and a bronze medal in the women’s I OOOm and as a member of the women’s 4x800m relay team. Other members of the team include Sarah Thompson, Cheryl Turner and Julia Norman. Norman also PB’d-in her leg of the event.

the other runners played chicken, so tregoire took off to the front of the pack with his usual grace and speed. Running in front is like running blind or running scared dependent upon how good you are...Gregoire was just running blind. At one point, he had a 20 metre lead on the pack, which is outstanding, until a Windsor runner chased him to the finish and beat him just at the finish line. Both runners performed tremendously and the crowd went wild. The women’s 4XZOOm team fought with Windsor in a very tight race which had the crowd screaming and the athletes adrenalin pumping. The women PB’d yet again, taking two seconds off their time form last week and coming very close to the CIAU standard. Both Alicia Steel and April Harpers PB’d in their legs of the event. Also the men’s 4X800m team weaved in and out of five the pack from first place to fourth, to end with an exciting third place and a team personal best. Both Andrew Welburn and Jim Mailed PB’d in this race. The men’s 4X200m “A” team (Gerald Kirk, Mike Leith, Mike Maillot and Brent Forrest) and “B” team (Tory Locker, Taly Williams, Gord Fawcett and Brad Bruce) cracked their times from last week.

Funky Liz Lepage, “Recent Work” ‘Gatherings” “Recent Ac~~uisitiuns”

by Gillian O’Hagau Imprint stag Are you sick of looking at that ugly, mundane graffiti amassing the wall around the Campus Centre? I’m sure you are, so I think you should give your eyes a rest from that unharmonious mess and take a tour of the three recent exhibitions on campus where you’ll find just about everything from a collection of dreams that are quirkier and weirder than your own, to - a smorgasbord of Contemporary Canadian artists and styles. The quirky collection of dreams are presented -by Wellesly artist, Liz Lepage, in “Recent Work”, on display through Feb. I I at the Artspace Gallet-y in East Campus Hall. Lepage, a 1,991 UW Fine Arts graduate, illustrates her keen sense of observation of social, domestic, and

everyday settings such as a bedroom or backyard but they are placed in an enigmatic way that is unsettling to the viewer. The riddling of imaginary light sources and impojsible vantage points along with unconventionai scales add a twist to the common and leave a chaotic instability. In “Unmade Bed”, we spy on a man sitting on a toilet and a woman watching herself stark naked in a mirror. The strange vantage point, characteristic of Lepage’s work,. makes you feel like you’re hanging from the ceiling voyeuristically invading the picture plane. Add to the picture a pack of hungry wolves and a couple of miniature babies resting precariously on an unmade bed and you’re confronted with a fairly peculiar image, one that I haven’t thought of lately anyway. .

she is trying to express in each individual w&k, You can’t just take one look at a Lepage painting and say, “Oh, that’s weird.” or “That’s nice.“, since the work draws you in emotionally by the obscure narratives.

According to the artist’s notes, the idea she poses in “Unmade Bed” is that, “wolves could be a threat to babies, but the self-absorption of the parents is really the greater threat.” Joe Wyatt, curator of UW galleries, suggests that it is an unusual practice to display a regional artist at the university galleries but Lepage’s work is so strong that she is important to display. She may not be in the same league as national artists such as those featured in the recent “Gatherings” exhibit but her work is notable just the same. According to Wyatt, “Inclusion of her at UW is a compliment to herwork and recognition that it is worthy of support.” The “Gatherings” collection, on disptay in Modern Languages through March 20, includes well known Canadian Contemporary artists such as Reagan Morris, Will Co&z, Claude Luneau, and Betty Goodwin. “The focus on national work makes the exhibits much more diversified.“, says Wyatt. “It is a learning tool for students to see all the different forms of expression in Canadian contemporary at&’ The smorgasbord of styles including high realism, lyrical abstraction, retognizable imagery and construction allow something to satisfy everyone’s artistic taste. The “Gatherings” collection serves as a model for the kind of works Wyatt hopes to someday attain for the UW permanent collection,“RecentAc-

hype

In the past few years, Toronto has seen the rise of several of its local bands. From the country-rock sound of The Waltons and The Skydiggers to splashy novelty acts like Moxy Fruvous and Barenaked Ladies, there has emerged a newly lucrative market for local talent As one of the best new prospects, the Lowest of the Low have carved for themseves a small space among Ontario audiences which, judg-

coming release. The show previewed several songs from Hallucegenia, including spirited performances of “Pistol” and “City of Cowards.” However, the popular tracks off the debut were the obvious crowd favorites. “Salesmen, Cheats and Liars” prompted a frenzy of renewed mosh activity, and “Henry Needs a New Pair of Shoes” rejuvenated the crowd late in the set. “The Hand of Magdelena” was also well received, and probably the best performance of the night. The band showed a sober side with “7th Birthday,” a new song about incest and abuse. The encore performance also featured a slow pace with the acoustic “Subversives” before crashing

show was plagued with annoying technical problems, brought on by overzealous moshers crashing onto the platform. This had no effect on the crowd however, which was egged on by the jubilantly bouncing head of the bands roadie, who perched at center stage and gleefully plucked body-surfing fans from the fray. Despite the equipment screw-ups, the band managed to prevail with a high-energy set that featured tracks from both their debut effoR and their newest album, Haflucegenio, scheduled for release in Fe bruaury.

The practise of collecting works was stopped in the 1970s due to finances but Wyatt has revised this and hopes to create a well balanced collection with the help of gifts from artists. So don’t miss this spectacular triple mixture of artistic work.

of the moment However, many bands have attempted this style with less success. Their set began with a short, comical version of Dee-Lite’s “Groove Is In The Heart.” The crowd trickled onto the floor as the band mixed both original material and covers, including an uninspired version of Big Star’s “I’m in Love With a Girl.” Despite the limits of their sound, The Killjoys have an affable stage presence and managed an entertaining set which pumped the crowd for the arrival of The Lows. It is uncertain whether The Lowest of the Low will gain the notoriety and success achieved by some fellow Toronto bands in the past few years. Much depends upon the success of their new release and the ability to keep their sound from slipping into mediocrity. However, the crowd at Fed Hall indicates growing support, and if they can continue to provide an intense live show, The Lows may find themselves playing to larger crowds.

And hey, wasn’t that Dave’s Mummy and Daddy sitting in the back, hiding behind their brewskies? Opening the show was a finelooking Mark Perak and friends. The guys put in a valiant effort, considering that they had to contend with Mike and Dave working the sound check ovemp of their first 3 or 4 songs. A venue like this is used to acoustic bands like Scott (Deneau) & Shannon (Lyon), and weren’t really prepared for the enthusiastic bass of Marc Smellie. Mark Perak’s songs were melodic and they have their heart in the right place but the band needs a lot of tight&ing up. This is hardly surprisingthough when you consider that they’ve been

Ned? for

only a

week. Around I I, My Neighbour Ned came on and oh ma gawd, they sounded great! Both of these guys is immensely talented with plenty of music experience behind them. Dave has been playing and writing for years and spends the rest of his time working at Waterloo Music when he isn’t throwing em’ back with me and the boys and our 40, whining about his far-away “friend” in South America (far-away no mo’!) Mike B is also gifted and might be known to you as that fantastic bassist/ keyboardist/vocalist of the now defunct The Panhandlers. If you’re a REAL old cronie like myself, you might even remember him from Three Kool Guyz. The harmonies between Dave and Mike are really something else. It has to be heard and the occasional a capella number fully brought this out. Their songs covered the whole gamut, from the kicking “Get Out of My House” to

the sombre, brooding “Last Bus”. Yet the songwriting styles of each of these guys is quite unique and I really needed to know why they meshed so well. They had this to say about the point: “Would you stop asking us that Ange! Listen, we don’t know WHY it works, it just does, and we’re really happy about it and love playing together.” Okay. Got it Message received. Where’s my beer? Towards the end of the evening came the Show & Tell segment with Dave showing off his diverse kazoo and mud flute playing skills and Mike pulling out a bottle of bubbles and Elmo from Sesame Street (I LIVE for Elmo! Elmo is where it’s at! Man, these guys are great!) It was clear that they were having a lot of fun and so did all of us+ The night held never a dull moment. My Neighbour Ned hold a lot of promise to become a great act in the area. Sassy!

On the cover there is a picture of a bowl of bright red cherries. This, I suppose, is some kind of bastardization of an essentially unfunny pun. However, it’s a good a place as any to begin a review- Medicine is loud. Did I say loud! I mean loud. Kick ass raucous loud. Pop your ear drums in a pablum drool detirium kind of loud. Louder than a sonic boom, a gunshot, or the kid in front of me at the bank who just wet himself. Louder, even than Metallic KO. Full offeedback and dying cats. 00~s. Some tormented soul just ripped the disc out of the disc player in a frothy frenzy and has flung it across the room. All is now silent, and everybody around me has let out a contented sigh. Ah, the sweet sounds of silence. Hark! Is that a bird I hear? But not me, man. I can’t deal with quiet I get off on loud, insane music, with some strange (some might say

cursed) female singing about weird little “slice of Americana” type subjects (the song ‘Slut” comes to mind. American womon, stay awuy from me/American uvomun, mamu let me be). The music is the music of the devils, of the personal demons inside Beth Thompson’s throat, and in Brad Laner’s tortured, screaming guitar. Come forth, demons of the recording studio, and proceed to create a frightening, yet compelling work of the three pure elements of music; harmony, feedback, and melody. And the beat, with Mr. Goodall trying like MO Tucker to hang onto that beat and keep it there, in a fuzzy focus

in the background, yet strangely insistent, like an annoying child. With The Buried Life, their second release, Medicine are fast growing up into the world of brilliant rock and roll. however, they still have to get through adolescence. Maybe that’s why I like ‘em so much.

du-jour sings about or tries to exhibit merely comes across as unbelievable. ‘ligue” and “Remjigue” are two interesting songs featured on the second side, and they are actually good toe-tappers with a heavy Irish infiuence. It seems that Celtic music is all over the pface now, with Alan putting in a touch of it so that he appears to be “with it”. Well, he’s not This is too mellow, too dull, and too lifeless. Yawn.

from his name, Alan Parsons returns to the music scene with another project nonetheless, and I listened to it since I’m pretty much willing to TV Anything Of-Ice. The cover reminded me of some of Pink Floyd’s album covers, like Wish You Were Here o rA Momentury Lapse of Reason, and there certainly is a connection. Many of you may already know this, but for those who don’t, Alan Parsons was the engineer on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon. “The Three Of Me”, which opens this release, starts with a full, orchestrated sound, which suddenly shifts to an understated solo piano, later building to a crescendo reminiscent of Alice Cooper’s “Only Women Bleed.” Apart from that, nothing really hits youon this release. Some of it is instrumental work, and there is no sense of cohesion throughout Tly Anything Once. It sounds like Alan took his own advice, and decided to give a variety of styles a go, but this is in line with many of his other albums. That is simply the nature of the beast, as Alan’s projects always feature a number of artists. One major drawback is the lack of life. Some of this sounds good, but it is still packaged and planned music, with no soul, Any emotion that the singer-

My favorite band? I remember our own Sandy Atwal using this as a introduction to a review of an album by his favorite band, the Wedding Present. And now, like Mr. Atwal, I shall have to make the admission that, yes indeed, Crowded House, along with the Cure of course, are my favorite bands of all time. Having said that, one might indeed wonder if I can be objective about reviewing this album. However, extreme fandom does not inevitably have to preclude being unbiased. As stated before, I love the Cure, but at the same time t think their release of two cash cow live albums this year was preaty lame, and the songs recorded sounded extremely bland. So too, to be completely objective, I think that Crowded House’ last release “Woodface” was allright but not earth-shattering, garnering maybe a 3.5 from me. Not so with this album. With their last album, Crowded House seemed to be stuck in a rut. They had used the same producer three times in a row, recorded the album in L.A. three times in a row, and generally weren’t pushing themselves musically. In retrospect the addition of lead singer Neil Finn’s brother Tim also seems to have been counterproductive, bourne out by the dismal sound of Tim’s latest solo offering. With this release, however, the band are pushing themselves in entirely new directions. First off, they recorded the album in an isolated forest dwelling in New Zealand, Neil’s home country, giving the album a distinct aura of that land. Tim Finn left the band, and the ex-roadie Mark Hart was added to flesh out their sound with more guitars. Above all of this though, the decision to use the ex-Killing joke member and PM Dawn’s producer Youth to produce this album has proved decisive.

the speakers. t Well, it’s back with a vengeance here; check out “Skin Feeling”, or especially “Locked Out”, which is guaranteed to make anyone jump around doing air guitar. Through it all is Neil’s impassioned words and fantastic voice, elevating the songs just that much more. I won’t say this is my favourite effort by them (their first will probably always win out for its sheer manicness) but this exceptional album does come close. What else can I say? Nothing, except to buy it, and if at all possible go see them live; Crowded House have an exceptional reputation as a live act, which is indeed well earned. They’re funny, full of energy, and they do versions of their songs that are ten times better than those on their albums. And after all, they kick the Cure’s ass in a live setting, if Show is any indication...

This is the sound of Crowded House as you’ve never heard them before. The trademark guitar-based melodies are still there, but SO much has been added. The environment of New Zealand (the house they recorded in was the same .occupied by Harvey Keitel during the filming of The Piano) has inspired the inclusion of intricate native drumming, of ambient guitar effects, even some sounds of a didgeradoo (that’s that long wood tube the aboriginies of Australia play). Results of this type of experimentation are seen in songs like “Fingers of Love,” “Private Universe,” and especially the title track, which utilizes a fifty voice Maori indian choir. Oh yes, and remember the wonderful energy of the first album, which was almost entirely missing from their subsequent work? You know, where the band seem so excited about playing they appear to be bursting from

I’d like to say this is a piece of crap, but besides a couple of pretty good tunes I can’t be so bold as to generalize on the entire album. “The Spaghetti Incident?” is I2 tracks of covers of punk and hard rock songs that supposedly inspired Axl and the boys to pick up instruments. I think GNRwould like us to believe they are a continuation of the punk legacy, but they probably were more influenced by the punk clothing than the punk spirit. This project was obviously inspired through Duff McKagan as he probably has the punk spirit and the only .band member to put out a punk album, Believe in Me, just this year. (It sucked pretty bad though.) The songs that Duff sings are probably the better ones like The Damned “New Rose”, “Attitude” originally recorded by The Misfits, and Johnny Thunders’ “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory”. You won’t hear too much

by Peter

Imprint about these songs, but at least they don’t have Axl’s whining voice hacking through them. The songs you will hear, or have already heard are The UK Subs’ “Down On The Farm”, The Dead Boys’ “Ain’t It Fun”, and Nazareth’s “Hair Of A Dog”. The original punk singers weren’t exactly blessed with good sets of vocal cords, however the limitations on Axl’s voice is excruciatingly clear on The New York Dolls’ “Human Being” and The Sex Pistols’ “Black Leather”. Thank God most of them are dead by now, or at least will benefit financially from this release. The hidden 13th track is the Manson tune which is actually not too bad. Don’t worry though, Manson won’t benefit from the royalties on the song. In the words of GNR “A great song can be found anywhere. Do yoursetf a favour and go find the originals.” Take this advice, the album isn’t that great

“Act of Faith” is magnificent,

What do The Cure and Presence have in common ? Lawrence Tolhurst. Lol was the boyhood friend of Robert Smith and formed The Cure with him in the late 1970s. Amid accusations of idleness, alcoholism and good-for-nothingness, Smith kicked Tolhurst out of the band about six years ago. It seems he has just gotten around to forming a band, with Gary Biddles as iead singer. During his time with The Cure Lol played drums and was later demoted to keyboards, because, as Smith put it, “he couldn’t play anything but the same simple beat.” It is keyboards that Toihurst now plays in Presence. The only reason I bought this, I must admit, was because Tol hurst used to be in The Cure so I assumed it had to be at Ieast a “not bad” album. t thought I’d hear some mediocre songs by a mediocre band trying to be The Cure. Was I surprised. What I heard was a very original, self sufficient band. While you can definitely hear The Cure influence on vocals and keyboards, these guys still have enough originality to earn my respect as a fan. Presence sounds very much like a “Manchesterish” band, even though their not from Manchester. Combine this with the sad, drawn out keyboards of the Cure and you’ve got a great new

with

songs are really catchy. Presence sounds like everything from James to the Happy Mondays to the Cure at times. I am very impressed with this CD, and highly recommend it to anyone who comes from this school of music. Congratulations, Lawrence you’ve done well for yourself.

This whole Beavis and Butthead thing that’s going on south of the border must be like a bad acid trip to sociologists, who are probably also having orgasms over implications of the success of this show. I must admit that I too had urges to burn down houses after watching a few episodes, mostly because I can’t tolerate the painful stupidity of these two characters. It just goes to show that an animation geek with zero personality can come up with a content-less product and become a millionaire through marketing and media exposure by corporate sponsors. The thing that hurts the most about this tape, besides the Beavis and Butthead skits that appear between songs, is the fact that it’s good to have this tape on the basis af the many excellent songs by good groups that it showcases. The solution is that I’ve already retaped the songs I like onto another tape, thereby bypassing the 6 & 6 skits. The Nirvana song “I Hate Myself and Want to Die” obviously wasn’t cheerful enough to be on “tn Utero” so here it is, sounding like it was inspired by the Weach” sessions, i.e. it sounds like crap (good crap). Although Anthrax is credited for “Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun”, it’s written by the Beastie Boys and is a pretty faithful cover. It’s pretty hard to find any Anthrax in this song at all, as a matter of fact. The Megadeth song “99 Ways to Die” and the accompanying video are one of the highlights of this project since its hard-to-miss social message of kids and guns clobbers you over the head. The video flashes a dozen of the most alarming gun statistics across the screen, justifying itself in a way that the unfunny and uninspired “I Got You Babe” video and song by Cher with Beavis and Butthead. Cher and the boys poke fun at Sonny Bono for being a dork. Ironically, the joke’s on them because Sonny’s got the song credit, he gets the royalties. I wonder if Cher really likes young dudes. I wonder if she really wants to fuck a cartoon character. Another treat is a new White Zombie song, the only new thing we’re going to hear from them for a while apparently. “I am Hell” sounds more

Ministry-inspired than stuff from “La Sexorcista”. Think “Deity” from “The Land of Rape and Honey”. I wonder, though, if they’re referring to the city in Norway, or the actual Inferno. I can sympathize, though. I too am a geographical location. The Run DMC and Sir Mix-A-Lot songs are also quite good, the latter being funnier than the former and perhaps fresher-sounding. Speaking of fresh, the Aerosmith songdoesn’t belie the fact that these guys are all really old. The Red Hot Chili Peppers cover of the Stooges ’ “Search and Destroy” is another gem, showing that the Chilis do have little punks inside them clawing to get out. The Primus song is even good, although it’s the only song that actually has Beavis and Butthead voice-

imprint

-oven. Finally, Jackyl. Bad Guns W Roses/ Nazareth/ Sweet wannabes. The skits are worth listening to just to make fun of. There’s the vaguely homoerotic “Come to Butthead”, and other stupidities, like 6 & B hanging out on the Anthrax tour bus, or trying to pass themselves off to Run DMC as brothers from Hollis. I guess its that blind thing working to remove racial distinctions. Sound has no colour. This is a serious tape built around a “humqrous” concept. Is good music supposed to be funny?

“Wouldn’t loverly” by Peter Imprint

Brown staff

Next week, the Centre in the Square kicks off its musical theatre series with a production of My fair Lady, on Monday, January 3 I and Tuesday, February I. Lemer and Loewe’s familiar tale of Henry Higgins’ taming of Eliza Doolittlkconstitutes one of the great-

est musicals ever put together. When you run down the song list, it is truly amazing that so many great show tunes ended up in one play: “On the Street Where You Live,” “I Could Have Danced All Nigh&” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face,” “Get Me to the Church on Time,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” and “With a Little Bit of Luck” are just some of these Broadway gems.

Glass House proves a

My Fair Lady opened in New York in 1956 and soon became the hottest ticket in the Big Apple. When its New York run finished in 1962, the play had enjoyed 2,717 performances and almost four million audience members, more than any other musical in stage history to that point. The play continued in London, attracting another four million people there. My Fair Lady is part of The Centre in the Square’s two-show musical theatre series which allows theatre-goers to purchase tickets to Les Miserables (playing in September) and another of a list of plays for some great prices. Other plays possible in the deal are Okluhoma, City ofAngels, Ma&ma Butterfrv, or Wizard of Oz. This week, the Centre in the Square had an interesting winter lineup with a pair of very different productions. On Wednesday night, the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble returned for their third visit to the Kitchener concert hail. Performing Hungarian folk classics, including some dating back thousands of years, this world-renowned ensemble keeps alive the music of the bagpipes, shepherd’s flute, and hurdy gurdy. Tomorrow night, Saturday, January 29, Howard Dyck and the Kitchener-Waterloo Philharmoic Choir will perform Russian composer Alfred Schnittke’s Requiem and African Sanctus by David Fanshawe. Any balcony seats available for that concert will be sold for $5.00. Other upcoming shows include The Chieftains and The Fureys on Saturday, March 19.

bust In a Glass House by Nina Ricci McClelland & Stewart Inc.

by Michael Bryson special to lmpfint This book is the second in a projected trilogy. The first segment, Ricci’s debut novel, Lives of Saints, was the deserving winner of the I990 Governor General’s award. In o G/ass House generally disappoints the high hopes that the book created. Here’s the story. In the first book we are introduced to six year old vittorio. He is living in a village in Italy. It is the 1950’s. His father has emigrated to Canadaand is working on a farm, saving money to bring his wife and son to join him. As the novel opens Vittorio’s mother is caught in the act of conceiving a child (it turns out to be a daughter) outside of marriage. This event is accompanied by the mysterious appearance of a green snake. Through the novel, Vittorio is taunted at school. His mother is ostracized by the citizens of the village. The two eventually board a boat bound for Canada. While they are on the boat, Vittorio’s sister is born in the middle of a gale. His mother dies in childbirth. This is where the novel ends. In Q Glass house picks up Vittorio’s story in Canada on a farm in Essex County near Windsor. His father is a tomato farmer, an angry man with children he does not love. The opening chapters chronicle Vittorio’s (his name

is anglicized) tormented childhood. The latter chapters follow Vittorio to universiv and his experimentation with the drug culture of the 6Os, and then to Africa where he comes to terms with his father’s limmigrant experience. The primary value of this book may be its social historical perspective. The rural Italian community of Essex County is depicted as both insular and intimidated. It is fiercely proud of its independent identity and yet it is also at times condescendingly accommodating to its WASP neighbours. At ftrst the WASP neighbours are at turns ignorant or cruelly racist to the Italians. Unfortunately the treatment of the novel’s material creates as poor aft as it does good sociology. What is lacking is the soaring independent spirit of Vittorio’s mother or someone like her. Somethingshould probably be said of the title. The Glass t-fouse is of course, the greenhouse where Vittorio’s father grows his tomatoes. It is also the proverbial place where one ought not throw stones. Vittorio doesn’t, though I wished he would. Vittorio’s glass house takes on the atmosphere of a tomb.
