The discussion paper in question, “Sustaining Quality in Changing Times,” was written by the Ontario Council on University Affairs (OCUA) for the provincial government, and was released publicly Iast month. And UW doesn’t like its implications. Given the task of suggesting ways of improving the quality of education while minimising costs, OCUA developed three “models” for future changes to the relationship between the government and universities. A “Modified Corridor System,” the first model, is very similar to the present system. In it, the government and universities would set an appropriate range for student enrolment, and funding is set based on that range. If universities have an enrolment lower than the range, they re-

to universities for specific educational programs. Along with the models themselves, a number of sections in the discussion paper seem to make veiled references to reducing university autonomy: “For universities in Ontario, there may be only two basic responses to the changes taking

place -- managing the change, or by default, being managed by the change.” “[Universities] have a high degree of institutional autonomy, which, it has been argued, is necessary to protect academic freedom, However, academic freedom has also been protected effectively in other more centrally coordinated jurisdictions.” “A [trend to] move away from the notion of publicly-funded institutions receiving their annual grant of public monies as entitlements to one which sees them earn those funds through the provision of defined services.” As well, while OCUA claims that it favours no particular model and is only presenting possible options, there are indications that it strongly supports the third model. “I think that’s clear. . . on the basis of that paper, there is a bias” towards the third model, Downey stated, commenting that he did not know if the bias was to “chal1enge”universities or because they truly believe it is a good model to use.

There’s nothing wrong with a hearty serving of “Student Helper,” but you should be able to afford some variety on your plate. That’s why you should check out Bank of Montreal’s new Student Loan. You can apply for a loan of up to $5,000 for each year of 5 years of undergraduate study, up to $20,000 in total, and up to $10,000 for 2 years of post-graduate studies? You’ll be taking advantage of special student interest rates, and you just have to make interest payments while you’re still in school. You’ll also get a quick answer to your loan request. To find out more, just drop by your nearest Bank of Montreal branch. And while you’re there, ask us how else we can ease the pressure - a discount on day-to-day banking, special Bank of Montreal Mastercard’” cards, and more.

Funding of $1,X51,000 will be used to construct a9,250 square- foot addition to the School ofOptometry at the University of Water100 and to renovate the existing facility. This funding will allow Canada’s onlyEnglish-language school of optometry to cnhance itsclinical teaching and research development. The addition at the school of Optometry will alleviate a critical shortage of research laboratory space. The Optometry building currently houses the Centre for Contact Lens Research, the largest of its kind in North America. The university will use $ I ,85 1,000 to build anaddition to the B. C.

and be completed in 1996. The remaining funding of $895,200 will be used to upgrade campus residences for fire safety. Work on all projects is scheduled to start immediately and should be completed by September 1996. “This funding is a major investment in education. The University of Waterloo is an important centre for learning and contributes to the life of the community. Iam very that this funding pleased will improve educational opportunities for students and create jobs in our community,” praised Farnan: “We are very pleased to be able to move ahead withlong-desired building expansions that will assist our research and community outreach initiatives and the project to upgrade safety at student residences,” added Kalbfleisch.

Downey obligingly removed the contentious clause, noting a need to present a unified front to the 0CUA. “I don’t think this is an occasion where we should be divided,” stressed Downey, “Steve spoke very eloquently.” W’s response paper will be presented in writing to OCUA on September 29.

he University of Waterloo will fine-tune its senior ad ministrative structure, including the addition of a third vicepresident, as a result of a study initiated by President James Downey. The President’s Advisory Committee on the Central Administrative Structure, chaired by James O’Sullivan, vice-president (finance and administration) at the University of New Brunswick, didn’t suggest a restructuring but made several “significant proposals for change, ’ ’ Downey said. Among the changes to be implemented will be giving the dean

of research position a new name vice-president, university research; adding an associate vice-president (academic); changing the treasurer’s title to associate provost (finance); and discontinuing the position of associate provost (computing and information systems). Also to be established is an external relations council chaired by the president to provide for better coordination of external activities. The committee said the “current cost of administering the University of Waterloo is not excessive,” and the recommendations have “proposed savings or consolidations to offset the costs of recommended new positions.”

lthough rated by McLean’s as the second hardest job one by students, treeplanting is becoming more and more popular .as a way to make a big pile of cash in a short period of time. If you are considering ever doing this painful job andhave never done it before, be very careful of what company you sell your soul to. Inexperienced as a planter, but desper&e for &y job, last spring I eagerly and trustingly took a position with Forefront Forestry after an interview in Needles. Unaware of the nightmare in store for me, I got my stuff together and headed to beautitil but sometimes treacherous Northern Ontario with a crew of almost twenty people, mostly guys, all stuffed like animals into two Hertz moving vans. To make my story brief, I slaved for nine long, long weeks, working eleven or twelve hour days for as many as ten days in a row. Our foreman and boss were foul men with unscrupulous and damaging attitudes towards women. Our eventual emancipation was a wonderful thing, but when our paycheques came we were all at least $500 short. There are many rewarding aspects of treeplanting, but it’s not a camping trip. If you have an idealistic view about reforestation, and want to hug trees and become one

with nature out in the bush, this job is not for you. If you like horse flies, have a strong mind, love money and can deal with nasty politics in the camp, you are more likely be successful. Some things to look out for and be aware of before taking a job with a company: 1) Is the company contracted by the government or by a logging company? If you’re unionized you’re likely to have regular days off and not have to worry about getting ripped off. 2) Are you staying in tents or cabins? Make sure you know ahead of time how much you’re being chargedperday for accommodation and daily transportation. 3) Are they feeding you or do you have to buy your own groceries while you’re up there? It’s oRen worth it to pay more and get fed by the company. 4) Do you need to buy your own planting equipment? 5) Ask about and read your contract caretilly before you sign. Our company didn’t give us our contracts until we were already 24 hours north of Toronto, and by that time it was too late not to sign. Check how much you’re getting paid per tree. 6) When you’re there be careful in electrical storms. I was hit by lightning,

The vast majority of these funds is for the President and the vice presidents to attend various conferences around the country. $200 of the money is for students councillors travel expenses. Councillors who travel less than 150 km to attend meetings can be reimbursed ifthey submit cheque request forms. The federation will pay the amount required for either a bus or train trip, and if the councillor chooses the more expensive method of travel, it is up to them to pay the difference. In the case of a councillor driving their own car, they can be reimbursed up to $0.3 1 per kilometre. This is the amount allowed under the income tax act, according to Christine Dewhurst (VPOF) and so is the amount that the federation allows. For a cheque request form to

These trips are not without results. Many of the ideas used by the feds in areas such as promotions, services, campus events and fundraising probably originated on other campuses across the country.

Relations

he Staff Relations committee recently releasedamemorandum concerning “policy 18”, a university document concerning staff employment. In a 1992-93 report from the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Staff Compensation, it was recognized that lay-offs were inevitable in the university’s future. Only a few months later, several jobs were lost due to funding shortfalls and reduced government grants. Due to the social contract, further reductions will have to be made, and there is no guarantee that grants will not be reduced even more than they already have been. Due to this unfortunate circumstance, the Committee has been paying particular attention to the clauses dealing with termination and redundancy. Now, the proposed policy contains provisions that will ensure any decisions involving the re-assign-

ment or elimination of jobs will include staff consultation and all organizational changes that necessitate job loss must be reviewed by the Staff Relations Committee before they are implemented. In the past, the redundancy section of the policy was intended to give staff some protection, through

or many students, the beginning of a new school year is also the beginning of severe financial problems. To compensate for the often grueling winter months, and the limited student budget, the University of Waterloo Federation of Students has established an on campus food bank. Students may donate canned or packaged food at any one ofmany food donation bins placed across the UW campus. The food bins are located at the Davis Centre Bon Appetit Food Fair, Needles Hall Coffee Shop, Burt Mathews Hall Coffee Shop, Village Two and the Village Grill, All university faculty, staff and students are encouraged to donate as the food bank can only be a sucess with the help of all members of the university community. Money raised through various on campus fundraising events will be used to purchase food for students with special is significantly diets, and food that lacking at the food bank. The foodbank hopes to accomodate students with vegetarian diet requirements, as well as provide various organic food products purchased from the local Ebytown Food Co-op. AH University of Waterloo students who require food are invited to use the UW food bank, This service is confidential. The food bank operates out of the Fedeation of Students Office, Campus Centre Room 235. Currently the hours of operation are lpm to 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, however alternative arrangements can be made to suit students schedules.

ATERLOO, Ont. -The University of Waterloo at fall convocation Oct. 22 will honor a prominent Canadian banker, a top meteorologist, and a physicist noted internationally for work in superconductivity. At the ceremony for graduates in Applied Health Sciences and Arts, UW will present Matthew Barrett, chairman and chief executive officer of the Bank of Montreal, with a Letters of Laws degree.

Barrett will address convocation, which begins at 10 a.m. Barrett, appointed head of the bank in 1987, is credited with reversing a 1O-year period of revenue loss and increasing services offered at local branches, particularly personal banking and small business loans. In 1990, he became chair of UW’s fund-raising drive, Campaign Waterloo. At the ceremony for graduates in Engineering, Environmental Studies, Independent Studies, Mathematics and Science, a Doctor

We appreciate the patience of the classes we visited early in the process (while we were still finetuning the delivery), and the applause of the classes who received a less rough deal. The second initiative, the Open House, was an open invitation to the students to tour our offices, get a feel for the organization, and eat some donuts. But don’t let the fact that the Open House is over stop you from coming up -- we really do have an open-door policy for students. Finally, I’d like to extend an invitation to all students.

ncluded in a report released this month by the University Council of Student Appeals (UCSA) was a summary of student academic discinline cases. beivances and ap: peals from May 1993 to August 1994. It is unfortunate to note that the vast majority of these cases involved cheating. The methods of cheating were many and varied. Plagiarism and forgery were common, with one incidence of an attempt to forge an e-mail address. Another common offence was copying, with students penalized both for copying and for letting their work to be copied.One student was caught after posting a copyrighted photo to the internet. Other cases that came to light included students altering medical documents and course grades on transcripts. Perhaps the most interesting case was

one where a female student tried to send a substitute to write one of her exams, but he got caught. Penalties upheld by the UCSA included filed reprimands, students being placed on probation, grades of zero or ‘F’ for assignments, projects, tests. exams and courses, suspensions from 1 up to 6 terms, forced withdrawal from the university and 2 instances of expulsion. The Computer Science Cheating Policy (an assignment of -100% grade to the work involved) is alive and well, being used in 20% of all cases from the math faculty. The 119 offcnders came from all different faculties. 74 from math (including 6 repeat offenders), 20 arts students, 10 from science, 8 from Environmental Studies, 3 each from Engineering and Applied Health Studies and even one from the colleges. Cheaters cheat themselves, but worse still, the fraudulently obtained degree devalues the acheivments of the honest graduate.

Firing Line @ I

have not always been as mistrustful of political figures as I am now. Up until grade nine (perhaps even so long as a few months into grade ten) I believed that politicians were, as they claimed, caring people elected by a fair, democratic process to represent their constituents and uphold the public trust. Slowly, I came to the realization that they are mostly liars, all charlatans and Elected by an ethically bankrupt political system into a position which allows them to screw the public that elected them out of 3s much cash as possible. This is not hyperbole: politicians are assholes. Not all of them are malicious, but at the very least they are mind-bendingly stupid. Some politicians believe that they are somehow contributing to a general good, and for that inane assumption, they deserve no mercy. The latest chapter of political absurdity comes in the form of Marion Barry. Barry was the former mayor of Washington IX. who was videotaped by the F.B.I. four years ago, smoking crack in a seedy hotel room with a former model. He went from his political office into a federal prison for six months. Last week, however, Barry received the democratic nomination for mayor of Washington -- which aI1but ensures him a victory next month. In a news article charting Barry’s return, a taxi driver from Washington stated that “He’s a new Barry, he’s redeemed himself, he looks good.” Michael Fisher, another citizen of Washington who described his employment as “doing odd iobs,” says that Barry deserves a second chance. Barry has been more than open about Gs problems stating that “Alcohol and hugs. . .they make you feel good. They zive you a sense of power you don’t really oave.” What the fuck is going on here? This nan is an admitted drug addict and a lower freak, and yet these addle-brained xetins in Wastlington think he would make I good mayor. At this point, the average citizen will :ry and defend the idea of democracy as if somehow a group of cab drivers and peoJle engaged in the lofty pursuit doing “odd-jobs” are qualified to make decisions 3ver other people’s lives; their own lives, If course. Mine - I don’t think so. The situation is clear - these people ue fucking morons. Any blame that falls 3n a politician must fall on the people who voted him or her in, and the political sys:em which allows such foolishness. Democracy is always held up as a geat, if not the great, ideal - a political embodiment of the heights to which great thought can aspire. Bullshit. Democracy is 1s poor a political structure as any, as the Marion Barry example shows. There are alternatives, and a brief column isn’t the place to go into what I. think the right alternatives are, but our first responsibility is to recognize that the status quo isn’t working. It’s not that we need “good” people to run for office, and then it’ll all work out. We might as well just suggest that if all people were “nice” we’d all be happy. The fact remains that democracy is a synonym for mob rule, and a democratisally elected mayor can sometimes not be that far from a crack smoking leader of a gang.

Reid and Aldworth blow To the Editor, For months now, Imprint readers have put up with the less-than-sub-par writings of many of your contributors. It seems that some of your record and concert reviewers have absolutely no idea what they’re writing about. The straw that broke the camel’s back was Scott Reid’s review ofthe Ginger/Killjoys concert on August 25th. First of all, the Grapes of Wrath did not “decide to part ways” with Kevin Kane; Kevin Kane left the band and took the name “The Grapes of Wrath” with him. Perhaps I’m blind, but I haven’t seen Kevin Kane doing anything musically for two years. Another idiotic notion is that Ginger is too loud. Mr Reid, have you ever seen a concert at the Volcano before? It’s the sound in the club that’s too loud, not the band. Now, the other weak link of contributors is someone named Chris Aldworth, who, in my opinion, writes for Tmprint only to scam free concert tickets. A few of my co-workers and I are convinced that Mr. Aldworth doesn’t even listen to the albums he reviews, for example, his Toni Braxton review a few months back where he wrote one paragraph proclaiming the album to be “utter trash.” Now, Toni Braxton isn’t exactly my cup of tea either, but give credit where credit is due; for what it is, her album is pretty good. Then, in last week’s Imprint, he can? even spell King Cobb Steelie correctly, showing, once again that he has absolutely no musical knowledge whatsoever. I wouldn’t expect Howard Cosell to write about opera, and I don’t expect clueless writers to write about music. As an English Major and a music store employee for over four years, it pains me to see the lack of writing skill, as well as musical

Harassment not infrequent To the Editor,

While skimming through the Imprint last Friday afternoon, a tiny little article in the corner of page 5 caught my eye. “How about that!“, I though to myself. . .“an article about a complaint of sexual harassment on campus.” Complaints you see, don’t happen too often around here. Is that because sexual harassment doesn’t exist at the University of Waterloo? Don’t count on it. The truth is that sexual harassment happens on this campus just as much as it happens anywhere else. Don’t kid yourselves into thinking that just because you don’t hear about it that it doesn’t exist. It only means that people don’t know who to go to, that they are scared, or that they don’t want to raise a fuss about something that many say we should “just deal with.” I would like to send my sincere thanks to the anonymous woman who went to security with her complaint. I hope that her action encourages others to take action when they are harassed, assaulted or discriminated against in any way. There is no need to have to tolerate someone else’s blatant insensitivity, ignorance or prejudices. - Karin

Bomber staff not helpful Many of us humble students consider a Wednesday night at the Bombshelter a perfect mid-week break. Sometimes, however, something will happen which puts a damper on the entire evening, and this past Wednesday just such a thing happened to me. I was sitting happily at a table with some friends, drink in hand having a good time, when suddenly a waitress (not our waitress) poured a tray of drinks over me. I was shocked. How shocked? Very shocked. The sort of shocked where you can’t even move for a few minutes, just sit and wonder at the pond suddenly gathering in

But wait, there’s more... as she returned from the bar, on her way to other parts of the bar, I said, “Hey, a towel would be nice.” After several moments of mulling this over, all she replied was, “Well, there’s a rag in that bucket on the bar.” Then she walked away. Needless to say I was not impressed. Is this what is meant by “seI-vice”? Is this the sort of image we want to present to visitors to our university? I don’t think so. Name

e’ve all heard it at least once: “Canadians face a declining standard of living in the titure. Things aren’t as good as they used to be, and they’re getting worse.” I heard it most recently from my Econ prof and T have to say it is a load of crap. This gloomy prediction is asserted with opinion polls and economic data. Economists and journalists have come to an informal consensus and are proceeding to pummel us with the same message, be it on the cover of Maclean’s or the back page of the Globe. For the past ten years, employment and real wages have been falling, they say. They are half right, for in truth the rising fortunes of people educated for their careers is more than offset by the worsening lot of unskilled and uneducated workers. The quality of life of the “average” Canadian may be decreasing, but that Canadian most likely lacks any post-secondary education, a requirement for success or even employment in the future. Economists are neglecting the tremendous opportunities that are appearing for people with the skills and gumption to seize. The change in technology and in the structure of business, and the rise in entrepreneurship all allow people to choose careers that interest them, which offers tremendous quality of life. While the outlook for uneducated and unskilled individuals has never been grim-

riosity can lead us to wonder exactly how much we can get away with. Jealousy can lead us to hurt others in a way they don’t deserve. And we often take our frustrations out on innocent people who are undeserving of our wrath. Why are we so often control led by these emotions, allowing them to lead to sin? It is our natural enslavery or bondage to sin. As so often heard in Christian circles, it is our sinful nature. Sin is an addiction. Just as alcoholics are addicted to alcohol, we of the human race are addicted to sin. As an alcoholic would crave alcohol, WC as human beings, crave sin’s attraction. Sin controls our lives just as much as alcohol controls the life of an alcoholic. And just as alcoholics usually start by having only small, infrequent portions of alcohol, a smal1 sin often leads to a larger one. Is there a way out? Is there any way we can be freed from this addiction? Jesus, the only human being to live a life entirely without sin, offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice to save us from our sins. By His infmite suffering on the cross, Jesus defeated the forces of evil, freeing us from our natural enslavery to sin. We merely have to ask for His help and recognize our need for it:

“sin.”

mer, the outlook for those willing to learn the necessary skills has never been brighter. Journalists and economists show almost complete solidarity in their portrayal of a bleak future. Perhaps they are merely sensing a public “mood,” are seeing the past through rose-colourcd glasses, or are merely nibbling at the edges of stale ideas. However, their predictions pose a very real danger to Canada’s future: If people become convinced that the world is indeed going to the pits, the prophecy will become self-f!ulfilling. We can only overcome serious problems which lie in the future -such as rising debt, taxes, and violence - with an optimistic outlook to drive us. It is impossible for people in their twenties to compare the quality of life now- with that of fifteen years ago. However, even in my short memory I sense that it is better now than many years ago. Many Canadian families have two incomes and are richer, technological advances have brought better products and services, and the world seems a slightly cleaner place than it used to be. In saying that we can’t expect a life as good as our parents’, the media is telling us that we are neither as productive nor as smart as they were. This is not true. The fate of those willing to acquire skills and pursue a satisfying career has never been brighter, as we enter an era of unparalleled individualism and quality of life.

What is sin? According to Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary, sin is, “to offend against a law of God.” So what is, according to Christianity, the law of God? Jesus Christ probably said it best when He said, in Matthew 22:37-40, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Laws of God and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Any offense against these commandments is sin. We are all guilty. Sin is attractive. Usually this is because it brings about an attractive gain. For example, we might twist the truth to make a situation easier to handle, steal something that doesn’t belong to us for convenience or pleasure, put others down in order to lift ourselves up, take unfair advantage of another person for personal gain, etc.... As well, sin can be regarded as an exciting challenge. The uncertainty of whether or not we’ll get away with something can often thrill us into coming back for more, usually leading to a larger evil each time. There certainly seems to be strong attractive forces pulling us toward sin. Sin can control our lives. Sometimes a small sin can lead to a larger one, even if we don’t want it to, Usually, this is motivated by a perceived necessity to cover up the sin, leading to an on-going, ever-increasing bondage to the particular sin. Our natural emotions can also lead to sin. Anger often leads us to say hurtful words to others that we don’t intend to say. We will do to others precisely what we would not want done to ourselves. Our pride can lead us to belittle others. Cu-

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” - Matthew 717 Just as an alcoholic must realize that their addiction to alcohol is a problem before they can receive help, we must recognize our addiction to sin as a problem before we can receive Christ’s help. I challenge the readers to do so today!

Warriors ready for U of T after win over Windsor by Kim rmprint

K

cy plays and some good luck allowed the Warrior’s football team to advance over Windsor 14-13 last Saturday. The score didn’t show how the Warriors dominated, and Waterloo hopes to carry their aggressive style into tomorrow’s match-up with Toronto. “U of T throws the ball so well and are extremely quick,” notes Coach Knight. “It’s going to be tough to contain them because they are so quick on grass-- they’re going to be even quicker on the turf.” Toronto lost to Laurier 26- 17 on Saturday, and a win over the defending champs would give the Warriors a definite advantage in such a tight division. Four teams are lodged at l1. Overall, Waterloo played a good game Saturday. The Warriors led 1 1- 10 going into the fourth quarter until Windsor connected a late field goal with less than three minutes left in the game. With 2:59 remaining the Warriors began their drive down the field. On a crucial third down and five with 2: 16 left, Gord Fawcett made a brilliant catch which eventually gave the Warriors the win on Arek Bigos’ 13 yard field goal. “We would like to control the ball offensively and the time in our drives. To win we have to become more consistent offensively and eliminate the breakdowns. On special teams we want to stop snapping the ball over the punters head and we want to tighten up altogether on defense because they (Toronto) are just so quick.” said Coach Knight in preparation for tomorrow’s game. “We did some things extremely well and we did some things extremely poorly,” Coach Knight said, reflecting on Saturdays win. “The things that we did poorly we just de% nitely have to correct and do that immediately. We played better than we did last week but still did not play well.” Offensively, Waterloo had a balanced game, rushing for 201 yards and passing for 236. But as Knight puts it, ‘&on special teams we still made glaring errors that will cost you football games.” Gord Fawcett had a good game offensively making some outstanding catches. A key Fawcett catch was made to set up the field goal on third and long. Double teamed, Fawcett showed great concentration as he stuck with the ball, keeping the drive alive. “Sometimes good players make their own luck.” said

Coach Knight when asked about the catch. Corey Delany played one of his best football games since joining the University of Waterloo, collecting two interceptions, five punt returns and making many outstanding hits during the game. Fullback Mike Mallot broke out against Windsor’s defense rushing for 148 yards on 15 carries. He also scored Waterloo’s only touchdown on a 35 yard run in the first quarter. Mallot had the top rushing game in the OUAA for the week.

he Waterloo Warriors rugby club traveled to R.M.C. last weekend and started their season with two convincing wins. The varsity version of the Warriors began their game with a penalty against them on the opening kickoff. The penalty turned out to be the first of many, as the Warriors found themselves heavily peanalized throughout the game, especially in the first half. At one point, the somewhat irate Warrior supporters saw their team take eight consecutive penalties within ten minuets. Despite the rash of penalties, the Warriors did manage to get some scoring done. With the game only six minuets old, Waterloo has a heads- up play by vetran prop Dale Finlay on a miss played 22 drop out by R.M.C., with some excellent support by Ian Pryde. It allowed Waterloo to go up 5-0, with Pryde taking credit for the score.

Fortunately for the Warriors, the boot of the R.M.C. kicker was not as accurate as he may have liked, kicking only two of his many penalty opportunities at goal. The first was at the 30 minute marker of the first half, and the second just five minuets into the second half, making the score to 6-5, in favour of the Redmen. Strong Warrior defense from this point on put a stop to the R.M.C. scoring. On the Warrior side of the ball, the pressure was felt and the result was a more determined 15 that secured better ball percentage from set and loose play. This made it possible to run some of the practiced plays in this, the first true game situation. A well executed “sunburst” by the Warriors hack line, threw confusion into the Redmen defense and freed-up fullback Brian Anderson. He then went over to score, putting the Black and Gold up to stay, 1 O-6. It finished that way, but not without some further pressure from from Waterloo on the R.M.C. try-line, that could well have seen the Warriors up by a larger margin at the

final whistle. The boys from R.M.C., starting out on a losing note, will find a victory difficult this weekend after losing no less than six players to injury during the course of the game. A sure sign that this year’s Rugby Warriors are here to play hard and win. The Junior Varsity game was never in doubt and was dominated by the JV Warriors from the opening kickoff. Flyhalf, Steve Goodacre, opened the scoring just 5 minutes into the game with a three point penalty kick from just inside the Redmen 10 metre line. Only five minuets later, Colin Chatfield ran over for the first five point major of the game, after some excellent run and support play by the ‘Waterloo front row’, but unconverted, the score remained 8-O. Goodacre got in on the scoring again by pouncing on a missed back pass in the R.M.C. end-zone and followed up by converting his own try, to put the Warriors up 15-O. The JV Warriors made the score 20-O on a text book play that moved from sideline to

sideline. It involved both forwards and backs in a combination of good rucking and passing, with center Mike Rourke taking the ball over for the score. Waterloo showed their fitness training had payed off, moving quickly to take a penalty awarded to them. It was 25 meters out from the Redmen try line with only1 0 minutes left in the game. The move caught R.M.C. off guard, and opened a hole that fullback Ryan Putnam surged through, adding five points to the mounting score. The Warriors closed out the scoring with some hard work from the forwards that took prop Mike Lippert over for a try. Goodacre was able to convert, making the final marker a telling 32-O in favour of the JV Warriors. Both Warriors teams hope to make it Z0 this weekend, as they travel to Peterborough to take on Trent Rugby. Waterloo will need to. show the same kind of teamwork, support and high work ethic if they are to secure the two points that become so vital at the end of the season.

he Athena soccer team kicked off the season with a double header on the road last weekend. n Saturday, Waterloo played the Winsor Lancers to a l-1 draw. Anna Hoogendoom opened the scoring, as she put up a beautiful comer, which eventually went in off a Lancer defender. The Athenas dominated the game, but Lancer

goalie Andrea Talkert kept them in the game until the managed to tie the game with a second-half goal. The Athenas were not so lucky on Sunday, as they dropped a 3-O decision to the Guelph Gryphons. The coach was excepcillay impressed with the play the rookie, as they created many scoring oppurtunities and made several outstanding defensive plays. The Athena play thier next game in St. Catherines this Sunday against Brock, and against Laurier at Columbia field Wednesday.

or the first time in 25 years, the Waterloo Watiors have cracked the top ten in Men’s soccer. And much of the success must be credited to the influence of head coach Dave Benning. Taking over for Ron Cooper, who retired last March, Benning had little time to prepare his team for what was be the most improved season in years. Though the team missed the 1993 playoffs by a mere one point, Benning had five of his players named to the OUAA Conference All-Star team. Now it’s 1994, and the Warriors are ready to take on the CIAU. “The only way these players will improve individually and collectively will be to play against the best,” said Benning, who is careful not to make any quick judgements about his team. “Hopefully we will win our share of games along the way.” The Warrior’s schedule is set up in that they play most ofthe top teams in the country. Brock started the season strong, and Toronto and Western each have solid teams. Benning is a native of England, growing up in Wolverhampton and spending much of his extra time playing soccer. He moved to Canada at an early age, and after playing for his high school, was noticed bv the Canadian National team. Drafted by the Toronto Blizzard in 1987,

“JOIN

Benning played two years before being selected to represent Canada at the 1988 Olymp1cs. Professional offers quickly came pouring in from such British powerhouses as Manchester United, Wolverhampton and Coventry. While in the U.K., Benning played against well-known international teams such as Benifica of Portugal, Red Star Belgrade from the former Yugoslavia and Laxio, AC. Milan and Inter Milan from Italy. It’s quite obvious his European playing style has been passed on to his pupils. His coaching career began with Ontario Provincial teams and Canadian National Youth teams, before moving on to Waterloo to join the Warriors. He is presently balancing his coaching duties with school work, as he is enrolled in the Faculty of Arts pursuing a degree in Psychology. “I think the team has the potential to go all the way this year,” says Benning, a coach at 25, is equal in age to a few players on the team. “People don’t realize how good this team is, and should come out to see next Wednesday’s game against Western. We’re looking for over 300 fan to line the hill to cheer on our Warriors, as this game is one of themost iumportant of the season.” The Warriors are currently sharing first place with Brock and Macmaster with five points each. The time of the Western-Waterloo match-up at Columbia Field is 5 p.m.

irst of all, we’re going to take away your coach. So what, if you’ve become used to her way of doing things, she’s moving on to bigger and better things (bigger office, better car.) Next, we’ll give you a new playing surface, or maybe we won’t... Okay, we give... The turf is still being knitted (crocheted or something!) Finally let’s toss in seven rookies, and a rookie coach, just for fun! Still interested in playing field hockey? After training, games, and practice; the Waterloo Field Hockey Team was ready to play for keeps. Saturday morning, on the brand-new (and finally finished) Seagram’s turf, they met the Western Mustangs. As usual, the ‘Stangs were over-excited and badly dressed. Initial confLsion, in manmarking, by Waterloo allowed Western apply pressure early. The Athenas regained their footing though, and consistently forced the PurpleOnes back into their own end. About mid-way through the first half, Waterloo’s persistence paid off. Rachelle Brohman, showing great tenacity in the cir-

cle, shot the ball past Western’s Goalie, to put the Athenas on the scoreboard. The second half was not such a pretty picture. Waterloo seemed to lose their drive. The speed and calibre of their play rapidly deteriorated. It was only by the skin of their teeth, that the Athenas held on for the 1-O win. Coach Creelman asks: “Do you feel lucky?” This did not bode well for the afternoon game against the University of Toronto (OWIAA champions, many times over.) The afternoon game was Toronto’s, with a final score of 3-O. The final score however, does not tell the whole story. Waterloo played a hard, 70 minute game. They were focused, and they played smart, headsup hockey. Toronto was forced to play their best. Perhaps, the best indication of the Athenas’ performance is the fact that they were beaten a week before by U of T 6-O in only a 40 minute game. In my mind all players are to be congratulated. This week, Waterloo takes the show on the road. Tuesday they face their long-time rivals from Guelph University. On Friday and Saturday they will participate in a minitournament, hosted by Carleton, in which they will play three league games against key division rivals.

Behe

Imprint sports With the beginning of the NHL season close at hand, people quickly arm themselves with a bag of greesies(chips, nachos,whatever) and ice-cold-B’s to wash them down. So this is how you choose to spend your sports time. Perhaps you should try to obtain a little live action to see if your pulse is still beating after a long day of classes or Campus Centre crowd watching. You fans are out there, so this year you should get off your butt and take in one of the high caliber sports offered at Waterloo. While every sport needs more visual support from the student body, and the best example of a game which has people saying “How did the Warriors do last night?” is the hockey team. This year’s hockey season is just about to begin and Waterloo will play what will probably be their best season in years. After a largely successtil season which ended after a hard played game against the Western Mustangs, the Warriors are stacked with talent. Most of the players are returning from last year. At last year’s conference play-off game, TSN arrived to cover what was one ofthe best played hockey games otside of the NHL. It had it all. Hard hits, fast skating, amazing goal-tending and of course, outstanding goals scored by the leagues top players. There’s a reason the talent is so high. The majority of the players in the UUAA are ex-OWL players who have chosen education

over playing in the numerous minor-leagues all over North America. Logical choice? Of course it is. It’s quite a bargain to be able to pick up a BA and still smash players into the boards for 30 or so games. So why don’t the fans show up? Here’s a top notch hockey game being shun by the most avid hockey fans in the world. There is usually only 50 fans that bother showing up for an OUAA game and this needs to change. I’m not talking like “Rah, Rah, go Warriors” you know the spirit kind of stuff you always hear. This hockey is really good. Last year’s CIAU MVP, John Spoltore, used to score 60 goals a year for North Bay when he was in junior, and his caliber of talent has doubled since entering university. He could easily be wedged between two top wingers on an NHL line. As far ar the Warriors are concrened, Geoff Schneider recently had a successful tryout with the Los Angelas Kings, as Bruce McNall, Barry Melrose andthe boys offered Schneider a contract to play in the King’s system. Geoff returned to school first before deciding whether or not to turn pro. Chris Kramer, Steve Smith, Geoff Rawson and John Wynne are just a few Warriors who had exceptional junior careers. These guys are good. I’ve seen them. So, if you find yourself a little ticked because you can’t get your grimy little hands on leaf tickets, don’t fret. The Warriors play twice a week throughout the entire season, and there’s still fighting the last time I checked.

panding the referee clinics and increasing referees’ athletic abilities and knowledge of their particular sport, Hladik aims to improve Campus Ret participants’ attitudes towards referees. In order to maintain the fun atmosphere of Campus Ret sports, a “Fair Play” program that began with ice hockey teams during the summer will continue this fall. After each game, the referee and the opposing teams rate both teams on their sportsmanship and conduct during the game. Excellent team attitude would result in a rating of 1, a good game earns a 0, and unsportsmanlike conduct would mean a -1 score. At the end of the season, teams with negative scores would be barred from playoffs. Depending on the success of the program, Fair Play may be expanded to include other sports.

Hladik notes that at Campus Ret, there is “something for everyone to do” and he sees many benefits for students who get involved in the program. Employment opportunities exist for students in many areas including student program co-ordinators. Leadership, time management and teamwork are all skills that can be gained through Campus Ret and are essential to students aRer they graduate. It is not too late for students to become involved in Campus Ret as referees. A volleyball referee clinic will be held on Monday, September 26 at 6pm in the Columbia Icefield Meeting Room and at 7: 15pm in Columbia Icefield Gym #I. Floor hockey refs can attend a clinic on the same day at 6pm in the Columbia Icefield Gym Office and at 7:30pm in the Columbia Icefield Gym #l . Students interested in becoming involved with Campus Ret during the winter or spring terms in other student program co-ordinator roles can pick up an application form in the Athletic Office, PAC 2035’. The deadline to submit applications is October 14, so don’t delay! OTHER NOTES.. Most instructional and special interest classes start this week, so get involved. To date, over 2000 people have signed up for 150 instructional courses. ..Campus Ret tournaments begin this weekend with the men’s slo-pitch tournament. The following weekend (October 1 & 2), a mixed slo-pitch tournament will be held. Mixed slo-pitch teams must register by 1pm on Tuesday, September 27 in PAC 2039.

Fast trails for fat tires - where mountainbike in Waterloo Winston

Endall

Imprint sports

W

ant to know where to shred trails with your mountainbike? Some of you have probably come from places with amazing mountain biking such as Collingwood or the Bamie area. Others of you are from less Coloradolike areas but at least you know where your local trails are. Since you’ve come to Waterloo your tires probably haven’t seen anything gnarlier than the occasional curbs and dried patches of dirt where the grass has died. You’ve probably resorted to riding down stair cases near the engineering building pretending they’re rocks in a dry creek bed or doing zillions of laps around the half-a-kilometre of flat, boring trails in Waterloo Park. If this is the case, then you are suffering from offroad withdrawal and I’ve got the perfect way to score a hit of your favotite drw First, close your eyes. Now picture a sun dappled trail, snaking along the top edge of a broad valley. Tall trees deposit their roots across the trail, intertwined like skeletal hands. The trail can be seen further along the valley dropping like a rock towards the river a the bottom of the valley. With a sharp down hill comer it turns just before taking the plunge: From there it meanders along at the same lazy pace as the river beside it before starting up a long granny-gear climb to the top again. Sounded pretty cool, huh?

Now to make you feel even better, that trail along with dozens of others are right here in Waterloo Region. Here a list of some of the riding areas within riding distance of the campus. Erbsville dump: Go west on Erb Street out of the city. Ride past the Waterloo landfill

Breithaup Park: Go east on University Avenue. Once across the Conestoga Expressway you will see a cemetery on the right. The entrance to the park is just past it. Upon entering the park ride past the sports fields to the tree line and look for trails going into the woods. Enjoy. l

Before site and take the first left. Ride to the end of this dirt road and keep going. After a bit of rutted up dirt road, you’ll come to a farmers field with a chain link fence on the other side. The fence has a gap in it. This is your gateway to_ the___forest on_ _the other side. If it is wet at all _ it will be muddy. Difficulty Rating: Intermediate

Difficulty Rating: Intermediate Monarch Woods: Go south on FischerHallman Boulevard until it meets Victoria Street in Kitchener. The woods are at this intersection on the right. A walking path by the sign for the park gives entrance off of Fischer-Hallman. Difficulty Rating: Mostly Intermediate

to

with some technical down hills and creek crossings. The Grand Valley Trail: This is a long distance hiking trail, much like the Bruce Trail, that bappens to run through Kitchener-Waterloo. To join up with it go east on Bridgeport Road. After crossing the Conestoga Expressway, take a left at the first set of lights, then take a right at the next set onto Bridge Street. Cross the bridge and follow Bridge Street out of town. Keep an eye out on the right as you pass farmers fields for vertical, white paint slashes on telephone poles. If you come to an intersection you know you’ve gone to far. Once on the trail, follow the white slashes. Occasionally they will be hard to find but if explore a little you can usually find your way. If you follow the trail all the way through the city you will cross the Grand River at the Victoria Street bridge. If you continue south, you will end up at Chicopee Conservation and Ski Area, which has the regions biggest hills (not for the faint of heart). From here the trail follows city streets past Fairview Park Mall and on into the Hidden Valley section of the trail. As you can tell this trail just keeps going on and on, so explore and you just might find the place I told you about earlier. Difficulty Rating: Intermediate to Advanced depending on section of trail. There is a lot of technical terrain with strenuous hill climbs. And for those of you who are interested in mountain bike racing there is a race at Homer Watson Park in Kitchener in late October, an event open to anyone who wishes to participate.

Kmfchick staff

ednesday shows at Phil’s are becoming an institution. And with good reason; for the benefit of fresh or those with short memories, the past year of Wednesdays has seen (deep breath) the Headstones, Sara Craig, Tristan Psionic, the Rheostatics, the Waltons, Lowest of the Low, Rhymes With Orange, Hardship Post, Thrush Hermit, the Ghandarvas, and the Rose Chronicles. The particular concert day in question added another couple of bands to the list, as the two bands in question here both put on quite entertaining shows to a generally receptive audience. First Bender, who were apparently called in from Toronto at 4:30 on the day of the show to play, who then set out to prove that spontaneity can indeed be a very good thing for a performance, Carrying on in the tradition of many a power pop trio, they piowed through a set of quite exhilarating guitardriven gems, that had toes a-tapping and Spiritually heads a-shaking through the quitecrowded bar. The lead singer’s voice could use some work, but in a refreshing change for this sort of show, you could actually hear what he was saying, rather than suffering throughout it being drowned in a miasma of guitars. And what he did say was worth listening to: tales of loveandlove gone wrong, the world around us...that sort of slacker thing, I suppose. The crowd started out sitting down on the floor, but with a little coaxing from both the band and the

fuzzy hooks, the kids were hopping in fine style. CFNY played the song, “Don’t Say No” and, “Cherry Bomb” were particular highlights, but it was all good, and their energy only added to the show. They have a new indie CD called Funnycar coming out soon -- watch for this band. And then there was Pure, who more than anything else showed that they seem to have more big radio singles out there than one

realizes. They blared them forth one after the other -- “Blast,” “Spiritual Pollution,““Pure,” ‘Laughing Like a Fiend,” and a new one “Denial,” proving them to be great in the hopping-up-and-down singles department. And this was indeed what the crowd was doing, especially to an exceptionally rocking “Spiritual Pollution.” Oh and incidentally that’s all they were doing thank the gods, as the bouncers at Phil’s made sure the crowd refrained from that pain

of in the ass activity that is body surfing (or rather the pain in the ass activity that is pushing dots, elbows and whatever else out of your face), Pure frontman Jordy basically came across as the Miles Hunt for Canada type that he is (although not as cynical), and had a good amount of attitude up there without being overbearing. Sure the words may be preachy at times (“look why YOU call pure” -- gee sorry there guy) but somehow it works, and the music is a good reason for this. EMF crossed with the Wonder S tuff to soften them they may be, but the interesting thing is that they are a unique band to find in a country of, at times, very static sounding music. They use voices and drums on DAT machines mixed with real percussion to create a memorable sound, which the blitzkrieg guitars only add to. Best of all, the end result is music that is pop friendly and fairly accessible, yet still good for the indie kids in the world. The show was suplemented to a great degree by the light show put on, which was really quite simple (a strobe, a bright back light, chaser lights around the band’s banner) but this addition to the normal lighting at Phil’s made the crowd blink at first sight; ultimately it set a mood for the show, made Pure and their lights a package deal, and moreover showed the band wanted to go that extra mile to impress fans. So there you have it; what else can I say? Well the new album’s called Generation Six Puck, and it conveys their sound well. So I guess the bottom line is look for Bender to get bigger, and Pure tostay pretty big as well. Oh, and see them live of course, what with the good review and all...

Smith and the Fall. Their sound wasn’t quite Bryan Ferry smooth, but they had toned down their dissonance and broadened their musical horizons. However, all good things, as they say, must come to an end. The failure of Btix and Smith’s marriage also marked the end of Brix’ stint with the band with 1989’s Seminai Live. Their next album, Extricate, was surprisingly Brix is still for kids. strong, but Smith’s venomous lyrics on “Sing!

Is it a it’s just the intensity of it, and the complete culture shock or was it fact that I could truly be me and like you never left? not have to play somebody else’s Yeah, well you’ll see. I mean music. it is different. They’ve sort of DidnYyou find that freedom with grown and progressed in their own the Adult Net? way without me, and written a lot Totally, but I wasn’t doing of songs without me. I mean we’re the Adult Net anymore. I was playmaybe doing a couple of old songs ing with other people. So I just that I wrote, but mostly what they missed it, and Mark and i hadn’t

wrote, and I’m adding my stamp to it. I’m not playing parts that were written by them, I’m playing parts that I wrote over their stuff. I played with them for so long, that it is almost like I never left; you know like when you know somebody that well. I didn’t even have any rehearsals to tell you the truth. Sometimes I don’t know a song. I’ve never heard it maybe, and I write down the key it’s in on my set list, and it’s really weird because my set lists have been like the most coveted item. People are scrambling on stage trying to snatch it off my amp, but they have my notes on it, so I can’t let it go. If there’s a song later on that I don’t know, I’m going like WHAT KEY IS IT IN?? I actually, in New York, snatched it out of somebody’s hand in the audience. That’s the dedication of Fall fans at work. I know. I can only think of it in a good way. I keep going, ‘You can have it at the end, you can have it at the end. ’ Were you following the Fall after you left? Not really. . .vaguely. Did you buy any of their albums. No, not at all. I own no album I ever recorded. I had no Fall albums, no Adult Net, nothing. Why? I didn’t want it I got fed up with music. The Honey Tangle was an album that did not turn out the way I wanted it to because I was bullied by the record company and I basically had to do what they told me to do. And who was that? Phonogram. They wanted me to be something that I really wasn’t, and I lost sight of my original goal, and basically I had to kill, I had to anesthetize, the Adult net and cover it’s mouth with ether and put it to sleep for a good few years until I knew exactly what I was doing. But it’s rising. When it’s not right, you’ve got to take a break from it and step back and have a good hard look at why it isn’t working and why you aren’t satisfied with your work. It’s not all the record company’s fault. The album, lyrically, although it was very interesting and wordy, it was really supeficial to me and I didn’t ever really express what I was truly feeling inside

myself

something completely different and get away until I was ready to do it again. I got to a point where I was so insecure that 1 was writing the thing, and having them play everything and I wasn’t like touching anything. It never had enough of me on it, that album, it sounded like someone else. Are you getting to express yourself the way you want with the Fall? Well the Fall is the Fall, but Adult Net is now clawing its way out of the grave. T’ve worked really hard since January, just vomiting songs out, songs that have been hibernating for five years and really I’m really completely happy with what I’m doing. I have a new partner, in Adult Net. I always had a partner who could always do what I couldn’t do, and my new partner is this guy named Marty WillsonPiper he’s in a band called the Church. He’s an excellent guitarist

bn j any

and songwriter. So he’s my partner, and we recorded stuff this summer. I love him, he’s my partner and he’s just cool. So are you just joining the FalI for this tour or are you back with the band? I think I’m going to be back in the Fall as far as I know now. You never really know what’s going to happen. Obviously my solo stuff is my ultimate priority as a human being on this earth really, but I love working with the Fall and I’m feeling really happy about it at the moment. I won’t do anything that doesn’t make me happy. The minute I get miserable again, I’ll just do something else. I found out in the five years (I was away from the band) that it is actually music that I was meant to do. Which I really had to search and make sure. Next Week: Brix’ friendship with Hole’s Courtney Love and the ever-recalcitrant, Mark E. Smith.

rian Moore is not a newcomer to Canadian fiction. Nor is he a novice writer. In fact, Moore could be considered one of Canada’s most precious literary heros. Five of his novels have been made into films including The Lonely Passion uf Judith Heme, The Luck of Ginger Cuffey, Catholics, Cold Heaven and, most recently, Black Robe. He has twice won the Govenor General’s Award for Fiction, and has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times with The Doctor’s Wijk, The Cdour of Blood and Lies of Silence. Thus it should be no surprise that Moore’s recent novel 1vo Other Ll$ is a brilliant, rivetting read.

his book is a collection of three short stories all taken 1 from different times in the author’s youth. The author has imaginatively reshaped the actual events and written them so that they c?me from the main character, Paul Whitehurst’s, point of view. The stories encompass severa1 years of Paul’s life and they cover everything from his tour of duty during WWII to the death of his mother. Along the way, the reader is privy to some of the more entertaining moments in Paul’s life and also to his sorrows and inner struggles. The first instalment “Love Story” takes place near the end of WWII. Paul is a marine and his platoon is situated just off the coast of Japan. They are part of a massive decoy unit and their job is to lure the Japanese away from the actual place of attack, further up the coast. Dissatisfied at the idea of not getting a chance to fight, Paul, along with a friend, goes to see a senior officer. The officer simply assures them they’ll get to fight

of what precarious events the future holds. Through the teachings and guidance of Father Paul, Jeannot develops a keen interest in religion and eventually becomes a Catholic priest. The enigma is the manner in which Jeannot practices as a Catholic priest. Preaching to “drive the parasites out of the country,” his “People’s Church” encourages residents to find their own power and revolt against the dictators and bourgeois who rule and control Ganae. Eventually Jeannot receives notice from Rome and looses the entitlement to practice as a Catholic Priest. He is detennined to instill his belief’s upon the thousands of Ganae citizens who followed and welcomed him warmly; Jeannot continues to preach his religion for the people. Of course, Jeannot encounters problems with Ganae’s authorities, but Moore’s unpredictable style never allows the story to become cliche. With the current state of Haiti resembling the state of Moore’s Ganae, No Other Life could almost be considered current affairs fiction. The novel is both an uplifting and agonizing account of power and corruption.

In his daydream, the car breaks down and his parents start to argue, and Paul, trying to distract them, informs them both that the country’s going to war with the Japanese soon. His mother yells at him for saying this, but his father reminds her of all the warships that are being built and of all the relatives they’ve lost in past wars. His mother starts to cry, his father apologizes and at this point Paul snaps out of his revere. The story ends with him trying to convince himself that he really does want to be in the marines and that war is fun and glamorous. ’ The second story, entitled “ihadrach” is about a very.old bhick man named Shadrach whom Paul meets during the summer of his tenth year. Shadrach is 99 years old and had in his youth been a slave on Paul’s friend “Little Mole” Dabney’s family farm . He returns to die there, where he had spent the happiest days of his hard life. The Dabneys’ take care of Shadrach and around mid-summer, he, the Dabney’s and Paul all go to the Dabney family farm. There, Mr. Dabney finds out he isn’t allowed to bury Shadrach on

his property and despite his protestations, finds he will have to pay for him to be buried in a “coloured” graveyard. Shadrach dies a few days after this, and while he must be buried elsewhere, the family is comforted by the fact that at least part of his wish was fulfilled. The final tale takes place when Paul is 13 years old and the year is 1938. The papers he delivers to eke out a meagre living are full of news of the onrushing war, yet this is the least of the boy’s worries. He must deal with a mother who is dying of cancer, a father who is too preoccupied with her to worry about him, and his tyrannical boss, Mr. Q;ligley. Paul takes the abuse that Mr. Quigley heaps on him day after day, but one day just decides he has had enough, quits, and hurls his remaining papers into the lake. He has also had to deal with the knowledge of his mother dying, yet he is not even allowed into the sickroom to see her. Paul’s mother, Addy soon falls into a coma, which has a strangely calming effect on Paul’s father simply because Addy is no longer in pain.

This little pi’

went

to market

But this little piggy isnotworthsaving Trying to Save Piggy Sneed John Irving Vintage Books Canada $13.00, 222 pgs Jeff Warner Imprint staff

J

ohn Irving is a terrific novelist. His characters -- Garp, Owen Meany, and Dr. Larch spring to mind -- are detailed, complex, and extremely interesting. His plots twist and turn, usually with little discernable pattern, and rarely fail to intrigue as the intricate threads come together. His messages are usually subtly hidden inside the tangles of character motivations and random events, but are never obscure or too hard to guess. His novels on the whole are among my favourites. His short stories however are lacking. Trying to Save Piggy Sneed contains a “memoir,” six short stories, and a literary essay. Only the memoir and the literary essay really provide any satisfaction; the rest emphasize that Irving’s strength is in his long, winding novels, not in short stories. He begins “Trying to Save Piggy Sneed,” noting “this is a memoir, but please understand that (to any writer with a good imag inat ion) all memoirs are false . . . we can always imagine a better detail than the one we can remember. The correct detail is rarely, exactly, what happened; the most truthful detail is what could have happened, or what should have .” The rest of the memoir explains the childhood character Piggy Sneed, and his tragic, mystic end. Irving writes with the clarity of childhood, when everything is as true as the teller believes it to be, and the tale flows swiftly and easily to the conclusion. Irving writes because writing about Piggy Sneed -- and all the other characters -- keeps him alive to Irving, saving Sneed from the end he really met (if, indeed, the end Irving ascribes was the “true” end or not). Irving is correct; the stories about an event are in many ways more accurate than the event itself, as the late Ken Ledbetter demonstrated in Too Many Bluckbirds. Unfortunately, the rest of the short stories Irving wrote fail to live up to the promise of “Trying to Save Piggy Sneed.”

The book ends with a tribute to the powers of Charles Dickens, a major influence on Irving. The essay itself is nothing special; it

reads much like any book review for an English class might read, and while it ties personal and literary traits of Dickens together nicely, it is rather bland overall. The main benefit of “The King of the Novel,” as Irving refers to Dickens, is its insight into what Irving feels is important in storytelling: by examining what he feels is exemplary, one can see how he constructs his own works. However, despite Irving’s gratuitous praise of Dickens, he

Preferred

fails to apply an important trait of Dickene novels to his short stories: Irving is writing short stories, not novels, and what he likes about Dickens’ work can’t always be transferred easily. Dickens generally tied things up; while his characters and situations may continue on, the reader is satisfied, and doesn’t feel that something is missing. This doesn’t hold true for the short stories, however. Many familiar themes and character types dot the short stories. One of the best, “Interior Space,” focuses on a university urologist, George Ronkers, who specialises in venereal diseases. Ronkers has two problems: a cranky neighbour who hates his black walnut tree, and a student with the clap who lies about who he sleeps with. Unfortunately, the story unfolds beautifilly, but ends more like a story running out of steam than one wrapped up properly. Things simply wound down and

also has elements familiar from previous Irving novels: an Austrian family that travels around, checking up on the quality of service in tourist hotels. There’s even a weird circus family with a trained bear wandering the hallways. Again, the story starts to unravel near the end, and the fluid descriptions that make an Irving tale so special began to seem heavy, as if he didn’t know how to end the story and instead was merely trying to end the events. One of the most original tales -- and a bit of a departure for Irving NW was the almost science-fiction like tale “Other People’s Dreams.” Fred discovers that by sleeping in places where others have slept, he has their dreams. It’s an interesting concept, and Irving plays with it rather well: Fred’s mother’s erotic dreams both repulse and titillate him; Fred becomes afraid to sleep in some places because of the dreams he might have. But the story ends suddenly; it barely begins before it’s over, with Fred realising the power he has. You want more, more exploration of the dreams of others, more analysis of what it could do to Fred, more of what it would be like to have this awesome gift. And Irving denies it. At the end of T7ying to Save Piggy Sneed, Irving praises Dickens for many things. Dickens’ character development, his variation of prose - “the lushness of his language, when Dickens wanted to be lush, and how spare he can be when he simply wants you to follow the story” -- and the importance of every sentence are some of the things that set him apart from other novelists. By implication, the writer who could duplicate those features in his or her own work would also write great novels, and that is likely what Irving wants to do. And to a large degree, Irving does manage to incorporate those traits into his own novels. However, Irving’s short stories leave something to be desired. They simply do not give him the space he needs to properly develop and execute a story. Some writers, such as Stephen King, arguably work best with short stories -- they become lost in a novel, and wander about with unnecessary clutter. Irving is the opposite; his stories require the framework of the

Fall of the Dream

vcr since Socrates took a drink of bemlock on that fateful day in 399 B.C. for corrupting the youth of Athens, people have wrestled with the idea of alternative forms of education. Rousseau, A.S. Neil, B.F. Skinner, and many other philosopher/teachers have had varying ideas, with varying degrees of success, about how students of any age should be taught and what environment best fosters learning. One less successful venture in alternate education in Canada was Toronto’s notorious and illfated Rochdale college. Formed in 1967, Rochdale was the result of the optimism and idealism that defined the mid-late sixties. Plagued with problems from the beginning, Rochdale lived a short and tumultuous life, and fell in the early seventies after being invaded by hippies and ‘drug addicts and plagued with fatal financial troubles. Rochdale is the subject of Ron Mann’s (Twist, Comic Book Confidential) latest documentary called Dream Tower for the NFB. It will be airing this Saturday the 24th on CBC. For the focus of the film, Mann chose Rochdale’s first student, Paul Evitts. Evitts was a volunteer for one of Canada’s early radical magazines about education called This Magazine is about Schools when, in 1967, he met up with Dennis Lee, a professor from the University of Toronto and a founding father of Rochdale College. Imprint had a chance to talk with Evi#s about the lessons of Rochdale and the future of education.

population becomes more and more critical of the education system, one way they’ve shown their criticism is by people turning to things like computer based training, and taking over their education themselves. Do you think that a balance can be found between the anarchic structure at Rochdale and the traditional dictatorial school sys tern? No, that has nothing to do with it. This is the mistake that we made. We assumed somehow that there was some significance to institutions. We thought that the way we structured those institutions had some relevance to the changes that were going on in our

Our society, however seems still to be linked to the idea of getting that piece of paper called a University Degree, however. Qur society is in a transitional phase right now where, as you put it perfectly, a piece of paper is needed, but that’s going to be less and less significant. I’m finding this in the business world where for entry level jobs, typically, you find a requirement for a university degree, but once you get past that stage, they don’t pay a lot of attention to that. It’s more a matter of how much training you have done in the last six months. But I guess that wasn’t option back in 1967.

The reason that those of us who were in the early stages of the baby boomer thing defined education in the way we did at Rochdale was because our whole cxpusurc to constrilining social institutions, or coercive social institutions, was through the educational system, and so we naturally took that as the focus of our critique of the whole world.

Her belief is that children should be treated as adults, and their choices, whether it’s not to eat broccoli or not to go to school, should be respected.

Well, you know the cover story of Fortune magazine a while ago was a story called “The End of Jobs.” I don’t really have a “job” as such and a large part of that is a result of the decisions I made at Rochdale. It also reflects the sorts of changes we were hoping would come about.

There’s a large population in Toronto who went through Rochdale at one time or another, and who have taken on Rochdale as the equivalent of the high school thing, as in “that was the best time of my life” and they romanticized it. So I’ve tried to avoid having too much contact with that group as much as possible. So in the last few years, there were things like the book Dreum Tower, and I’ve avoided them as much as possible. I didn’t know about it at the time, but Ron Mann was trying to get a handle on how to do a film about Rochdale, and he was about to give up and Stan Bevington told Ron that he should give up because “there’s no way you can get flowers out of a pile of shit.” That’s why the film was dedicated to him. So Ron, I gather, was talking to Michael Hirsh from Nelvana and told him to get a hold of me. I was sort of interested, and all he said to me was that he wanted to get some background information, and I was interested in talking about to him about interactive multimedia. So I went and met him, and gave him a five minute synopsis about what I was doing, and we talked about that for a while, and I was trying to steer the conversation over to multimedia, and he said, “Would you mind if I did the film about you?” 1 said “Oh, sure,” and it turned out that he was actually serious. Having avoided Rochdale for so long, what kind of things were going through your head as you saw this footage he was using? 1 don’t remember a lot of it. So a lot of it was, “Gee. Did that real 1y happen ?” I think I finally understand the meaning of the word post modem because I was looking at it from a self-t-eflexive, ironic kind of way. It was weird, really weird. The building that originally housed Rochdale is still there, so there must be times when you can’t avoid it. The tinny thing about that is that I did some consulting work for the Metro Toronto Housing Authority, and I mentioned the Rochdale stuff to them after being around for a few months, and they gave me stories about the horrible situation that they found when they moved in there, but it turns out that there are probably anywhere from half a dozen to a dozen current tenants who used to live in Rochdale before hand.

songs aren’t quite as the electronics as their excepting perhaps “City and “Behind the Counter.” The fall-back to their twochord beginnings on “Hey! Student” is proof positive that The Fall haven’t forgotten where they otiginally came from, and can still throw-up a music bile as acidic as when they first arrived on the scene. As would be expected, lyrically Smith hasn’t eased-off on his hatred of “red-type bastards” on the one hand, and capitalist/ business types on the other. Along the way, he sends up students, faux Northerners and Simon and Garfunkel (“there must be 15 ways to leave your man” (“15 Ways.“) The most surprising thing about Middle Class Revolt is the fact that three of the fourteen tracks are covers. The Fall have demonstrated that they are more than adept at covering other people’s works (notably, The Kinks’ “Victoria” and R. Dean Taylor’s “There’s a Ghost in My House.“) However, the covers here are hardly as well-known as “Victoria,” The almost lyrical-less “Shut-Up!” is a Monks song (not the “Drugs in my Pocket” band) and the credits on “War” and “Junk Man” are BlegvadiMoore and McFree respectively. Old punk songs, I guess. The Fall have only moved forward in their career (o.k. maybe a little sideways at times) and with each step grow closer and closer to creating an unassailable body of work. As Pavement’s ‘92 release “Slanted and Enchanted” proved, The Fall remain the epitome of “influential.” At the same time, the anti-hero’s anti-hero, Mark E. Smith remains one of popular music’s most important voices.

by Sandy Atwal Imprintstaff Pop bands in general have an extremely short life span. Displaying their angry jaded voices to the world, they either bum out or fade away (sorry.) Even those bands that manage to stick it out more than ten years and consistently produce good music (e.g. Sonic Youth) can? really be considered all that prolific. That The Fall have managed to be both (twenty-seven albums in fifteen years, including compilations) is nothing short of staggering. To paraphrase Option magazine, The Fall have had probably the most consistent career of mry rock’n’roll band around.

All of the songs have a pretty good beat, however they are all fairly similar sounding as well as in lyrical content.

Now, however, there’s nothing as good as “Changes” or “A Good Idea” and certainly nothing approaching “If I Can’t Change Your Mind.” “Your Favourite Thing” is a good single, and “Panama City” echoes back, to “Brasilia Crossed with Trenton” but Granny Cool is probably one of the more boring songs he’s done, with a cumbersome, chugging riff and an easy pot shot at rockers who are over the hill. Even “Your Favourite Thing” steals a guitar noodle from “Divide and Conquer.” On the other hand, the supercharged “Old Empire” from Nova Mob’s latest catches perfectly the energy from Wlzrehouse. The previously released (just before the accident) single “Shoot Your Way to Freedom” is as strong a song as any he’s released. So this round goes to Hart, who has a little catching up to do. Hopefully, Hart will continue his stride on his next album, and Mould will gain his.

home of Sebadoh, Velocity Girl and formerly Nirvana and Soundgarden, Halifax’s Jale took their time coming out with their debut 1p Dreamcake. Holding their own against SubPop’s pressures, this four woman band sequestered themselves in a rented house in rural Nova Scotia and recorded only what they wanted to. The result: one fine album and the beginning of a promising career . Prior to the release of Dreamcake, Jale’s recorded presence was limited to one song on Never Mind the SubPop’s Mollusks Maritime grunge release and maybe one hard to find ep. Now enjoying airplay with their

first single “Not Happy,” Jale is poised to’move crut of the Maritime scene and become a national favouri te, “Not Happy” blazes the trail an Dreamcake, leaving a clear route for the remaining eleven tracks to follow. Unfortunately what follows are more crispy clean guitar songs with “ethereal” vocals (I know they hate that word but there really is no other way to describe them.) While these songs delinitely are excellent and Jale is gifted to produce them, they are borderline sanitary. A bit more grit would go a along way. But perhaps the strictures of a major label wannabe forced them to be too clean. Perhaps their next release will come out less sweet; more of a mud pie than a dreamcake. Any way it turns out, however, Jale are abundantly talented and deserve the SubPop moniker. Dreamcake may be a bit sweet, but it’s still tasty.

before them. It starts with “Forever”, replete with ambient voices and assorted synth bleeps, before it settles on light rhythms and keyboard interludes. Not a dance fest, and all the better for it. From there they move into lushly planned soundscapes of synths (“Science Friction”), to total jump up and down dance tracks (“Crash and Carry”), and even the super fast jungle techno (the epic “Are We Here?“). The old Orbital sound is still there, but with more of an organic, human touch not seen on their previous efforts. This, combined with their first foray into using vocals (Alison Goldfrapp, friend of the longtime Hartnolls, guests on two tracks), makes for a sound that’s less severe on the ears, more listenable, and therefore much more entertain~ ing. But what’s the use of describing it? It simply must be heard to really understand what you’re dealing with, which is one of the most mind blowing, boundary bending albums of the year. It’s a coherent, complete statement of where music is going in 1994; a whole album that was recorded to be heard from start to finish to make its impact. It’s time to give good techno a chance folks, and if you want to own what may go down as the “Pet Squnds” of the genre, BUY THIS ALBUM! NOW!!! Magnificent.

There is a totally unjustified opinion, held by about 99% of the population on this side of the planet, that “techno” music can only be the sort of stuff put out by such crap outfits as C+C Music Factory, 2 Unlimited, Snap, et al. So then you either a) cling to the idea that music utilizing mainly computers is not music at all, or b) get into the whole plastic techno thing, and “Pump Up the Jam”, as it were. Believe it or not there is a third option: You can listen to bands like Orbital, and this really is the one to take. For the uninitiated (and there are many of you out there), if you own records by Bjork, Primal Scream, or even Utah Saints or (gulp!) Depeche Mode, it’s time to take the next step and track down Orbital’s “Snivilisation”. And for those who are into, say, the Orb, Aphex Twin, or Underworld, this disk is a must. You may say they are a bunch of studio geeks doddling with computers, but the fact is that they’re head and shoulders above the rest of the pack of similar techno boffins, and apparently put on devastating live shows as well. What the Hartnoll brothers show us is an overridingly huge cornucopia of sounds, rhythms, melodies and musical styles. They are the next step in the tradition begun by Kraftwerk and

However, the lyrics present a somewhat more personal overview than those of other artists in the same genre. For instance, in “Dear Dad” they rhyme about thL absence of a father figure in their youth, In other songs, they speak of their

by Sarah Fudge special to Imprint Even though this is supposed to be a greatest hits album, I have a very hard time understanding how many of these songs ever became hits in the first place. This album is a tribute to the solo work of Bob Geldof and his band, The Boomtown Rats, compiled from seventeen years worth of music. Formed in 1975, the Rats were considered one the most innovative Irish bands of the 70’s. Two of their classic singles “I Don’t Like Mondays” and “Looking After Number One” are included. Geldof is parbecause of his involveticularly famous

childhood days in their Falstaff neighbourhood. All this is well-presented in a variety of styles. The band members attribute their influences to a whole range of musical genres, including early and modern rap, reggae, country, funk, and gospel. AI1 of these influences show themselves at one point or another throughout On a Mission. Far from the harsh rhymes and lyrics of so-called gansta rap, Graphidi Logik presents its material in a laid-back atmosphere. Listening to On a Mission gives a feeling of relaxing in the presence of three friends swapping stories and rhymes, Graphidi Logik has what it takes to go mainstream, and Canada needs another high-ranking rap group. Because of Logik’s northern origins, they may find it difficult to compete with the many rap groups in the States. Yet Graphidi Logik is on a mission to make sure it doesn’t turn out that way.

ment with the Live Aid project in the 80’s, and was subsequently knighted for his efforts. He also co-wrote “Don’t They Know It’s Christmas” with Ultravox’s Midge Ure for the Band Aid famine relief project. Though the lyrics tell unusual and often bizzare stories, most of the songs blend together into an unremarkable blur. “Room 19” is about an institute in Moscow where the brains of Soviet geniuses were frozen and dissected. Too bad the music doesn’t fit with the lyrics. Most of the Rats songs show a definite punk influence, while many of Geldops solo pieces are acoustic. “Banana Republic” is awful, as it has very little rhythm and cheesey pianos. Unless YOU have a particular interest in Irish pop or are already a Geldof/Rats fan, there would be very little point in buying this musical yawn. If you are a fan though, you probably own most of these tunes already.

Dethroned. Not that this is really a huge departure for the band. Autumatic’s “Drop” and the b-side “Why’d You Want Me” are both slower tracks - the band’s been doing them for years However, this is more than just the Mary Chain unplugged. Here we have a band with an established following, and an archetypical sound that has sent thousands of teenagers into their garages learning old Bo Diddley numbers. For them to suddenly turn their amps down for an album displays not only a de-

sire to see what else they can do, and experiment - something few bands are will-

ing to do. In addition to a stripped down sound, the inclusion of Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval on the lovely “Sometimes Always” and Shane MacGowan on the prayerlike “God Help Me” breaks up the attractive, but a little too-familiar voices of the

by Rob Vickers Imprint Staff The Dance Party anyone? first major-label release from this tour-till-you-drop band duplicates all the best features from their last indie release, “A Matter

of Truth”. After three years and more than 600 shows, One are still causing campus crowds and other generations to jump like fleas on amphetamines. Smokin’ the Goats is just what everyone would expect the major debut to be: a continuation of the previous sound with a more polished and tighter recording than the indie stuff. Since the band already appeals to a wide audience, it seems that they had enough licence to write the kind of album they wanted to hear. Nevertheless, this album is characterized by its catchiness. The lead-off single “Wide Load” and the previously released “Magdelin” epitomize One’s catchy ska beat (the one that gets that weird guy dancing to the wall in the ‘shelter on Tuesday nights). Some of the songs have a little bit too much cheese for me, but for the AM radio set, songs like “Strangehold” and the cover “Rainy Night in Georgia” will have you staring dreamily at the ceiling where the

stars should be. Even with the party atmosphere the album produces, lead vocalist Taylor and rhythm guitarist Robbie Dee did write some lyrical messages to digest with the dancing. “Doin’ it For The Money” and “My Own Man” are more or less concerned with not letting cash go to your head, “Unlucky One”, and the cover of Toots and the Maytals’ “54-46” have a look at social injustice, and “Bully On the Dance Floor” is about a big guy that nobody likes. See? Social commentary can be fun, too! Okay, so the morning after a One concert might not leave as many bruises and broken bones as, say, a Fishbone gig, but the general groove is still the same.
