W students have been taken for hundreds of thousands ofdollars, and the Federation of Students doesn’t seem to care. The money has been collected since September in direct violation of the terms of the 1992 Student Coordinated Plan referendum. The decision to start collecting the fee was made by Dorothy Battae, UW Treasurer, after consultation with Stephen Codrington, President ofthe Federation of Students. A twentyfive dollar, non-refundable fee was implemented in September, 1994, even though the requirements for collecting that fee have yet to be met. A non-refundable capital fee of$25 was approved in a campus wide referendum in January, 1992. But there was a specific restriction on starting to collect the fee: it could only be collected after both the North Campus Physical Recreation Facility and the Student Centre were both opened. The referendum, held on January 28 and 29, 1992, asked students if they would pay two separate, non-overlapping fees to finance the Student Coordinated Plan, a three part campus

improvement project. The first fee, $10 a term, was for the Student Endowment Fund. This fundmade moneyavailable to student projects that improved life on campus, and was administered by a special management board of university administration and students.

Bombshelter by Heather Calder and Tasha Lackman special to Imprint

ecently there has been some confusion about the policy at the Bombshelter when a fire alarm goes off. Do you move people through the building into the Great Hall of the Campus Centre - possibly putting them in more danger - or herd them onto the patio, chasing them after they try to go in search of a less (more?) eventful bar? In the middle of last term, a fire alarm caused Shelter staff to round up patrons. The ongoing the construction outside Bombshelter forced staff to have patrons exit through the Campus Centre. 73ecause of the renovations we couldn’t get everybody out of the building,” Bombshel ter manager Larry Vaughn said. Now that renovations have been completed there should be no more problems, but according to some patrons when the fire alarm went off about 10: 10 last Friday night (January 6) the procedure did nob go smoothly.

CFS readies by James Russell Imprint staff

he CFS is gearing up for a big day on January 25. It is supposed to be a national day of strike, action and protest, and it looks like pretty much everyone is involved, except for UW. This is not entirely true. ACAC, the Anti-Cuts Action Committee is planning a demonstration here on campus, then a march to MP Andrew Telegdi’s office. However, their meetings are generally attended by between 4 and 10 people, so no one is sure exactly how many people are going to turn out. However, despite UW’s questionable devotion to this cause, Brian Smyth is leading the CFS charge here on campus. There will be speakers at noon in the Arts Quad, then the group will march to Telegdi ‘s office. The demonstration will not be sedate, hopes Smyth,

He hopes for “whistles” and “a drum.” He also wants lots of placards, saying they “always look good.” Smyth is very socially concemed, being a member of both WPIRG and the International Socialists. He wants to get the message across that “the students are pretty serious about getting fair tuition.” He also . wants to “push Telegdi to speak out” against Axworthy’s plans, Smyth wants the Federation of Students to endorse the day of protest, as over 80 campuses across the nation have. He wants the Feds to set aside their differences with the CFS for the day, to send a speaker to their rally, and to endorse the day of protest. Many groups other than student’s groups have endorsed the protest. According to Pam Frache, National Strike Coordinator for the

their education exclusively through loans (not an unlikely prospect). At an interest rate of 8% (“conservative” according to Frache) students receiving a B.A. would already owe $49,000. That figure is reached assuming $10,000 in loans for four years, with the interest added in. $4,000 of the $10,000 is for tuition, the rest is for living expenses. To pay this debt off over 10 years would require monthly payments of $590, and aAer ten years would have actually cost the student $7 1,000. An M-A. would cost $116,000 over 10 years, and a Ph.D. would eventually cost a whopping $230,000’ .

lthoughcanada’s economic recovery is well under way and Waterloo region is faring especially well, don’t expect students to be too excited. According to Statistics Canada, between December of 1993 and the same month in 1994, over 362,000 jobs were created in Canada; unfortunately, none of these jobs went to people under 25. Employment figures were released late last week, showing a 5.3% unemployment figure for Waterloo Region, the lowest unemployment rate in Canada. The figure is well below both the Ontario average of 8.4% and the national average of 9.6%. Although there was an overall gain of 16,000 jobs for men under 25 during the Dec. ‘93-Dec. ‘94

period, the same number of jobs were lost by women under 25 in the same time period. Unfortunately, these figures suggest that people under the age of 25 are being left out of the recovery. Between early 1989 and the end of 1992, unemployment for people under 25 rose by 18% and hasn’t moved since then. The lack ofjobs for young peoplc has resulted in students taking various jobs beneath their skills, as well as increased enrolment in universities. The movement by students toward universities is a move toward employment since throughout the ‘9Os, employment has risen steadily for people with university degrees and community college diplomas. Almost all the job losses during the 90s were suffered by people with less than a highschool education.

he universities of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier and Waterloo have set up a presidential working group to increase cooperation and enhance the quality of education. The working group will study the “opportunities for, and the benefits df, greater collaboration among our three universities,” says an announcement from the three univerMordechai sity presidents, Rozanski of Guelph, Lorna Marsden of Wilfrid Laurier, and James Downey of UW. It will release regular briefings and an annual report. “Our institutions have an enviable record of collaboration in research activities and in under-

The biggest gains made in the last year were by women. Although women comprise only 38% of the work force, they received over 52% of ali new jobs.Traditionally, 25% of all women workers have held part time jobs. They comprise 70% of all part-time workers, but only 41% of full-time job holders. Last year, women made substantial advances as they earned 49% of fulllime jobs created. For people over twenty-five, the majority of jobs created were full-time positions. In the last year, over 430,000 full time jobs were created, while part time employment fell by 70,000 jobs. Ray Gormley, a labour market analyst wi Eh Canada Employment Centre in Kitchener stated that “this is not a smoke-and-mirrors recovery,” pointing to a near halving of unemployment insurance claims as of between Oct. ‘93 and Oct. ‘94.

graduate and graduate programs,” the announcement says. The close proximity of the campuses allows for “a substantial amount of collaboration at the undergraduate level,” particularly between Laurier and Waterloo. “In addition, we can be justifiably proud of our early commitment to joint graduate programs.” The offering of such programs is made easier by the audio-visual link between Guelph and Waterloo, now extended to McMaster University in Hamilton and eventually to Wilfrid Laurier. Other examples of cooperation include efforts to cope with library acquisitions and storage, as well as participation in the Native University Access program, involving native students.

“The goal of our collaborative effort has been to increase the breadth and quality of our academic programs and to contain or decrease the costs ofprogram delivery, while respecting the autonomy and distinctiveness of our individual institutions,” the announcement says. “We took forward to otherjoint initiatives, for we are convinced that increased collaboration can be an important component of a successful strategy to maintain and enhance quality in light of the fimding difficulties we face.” Members of the working group include Jim Kalbfleisch, UW’s vicepresident academic and provost; Jack MacDonald, U of G ‘s vicepresident, academic; and Rowland Smith, vice-president (academic) at Wilfrid Laurier.

by Tasha Lackman Imprint staff he University of Waterloo is receiving funding for joint research projects with the private sector through a new initiative by the Ontario government, the University Research Incentive Fund (URIF). “URIF provides a chance for researchers to make breakthroughs in dozens of fields that really matter to people, such as health care, manufacturing and the environment,” said Ontario Minister of Education and Training Dave Cooke. “lt also provides economic benefits, not only to participants, but to Ontario industrial users.” Since 1984, UKIF has been funding projects to encourage the cooperation between universities and the private sector, matching every dollar provided by the industry. The maximum award is $250 000. The projects are fkndedjointly by the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade. Waterloo has had five projects funded by the URIF. The total value of these projects is $555 956, and the find covered $237 036. There are also projects at many other universities in Ontario, including GueIph, University of Toronto and McMaster.

n endowment has been established at the University of Waterloo to support research in health, including studies into Alzheimer’s disease. The Ken Murray Applied Health Research and Education Endowment was announced recently by James Downey, UW president. The endowment in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences was made possible by the donation of $50,000 by Murray, retired president of .T.M. Schneider Inc. and chairman of the Homewood Health Centre in Guelph. As the endowment grows, it will provide ongoing support for activitics rclatcd to the understanding or treatmcnt of Alzheimer’s disease, other dcmentias and aging in general. The money wi 11 be used mainly to provide teaching and research assistantships, scholarships and bursaties. A previous donation of $50,000 by Murray last year launched the Alzheimer Research and Education Project at UW. The project, managed by UW’s Centre for Applied Health Research, is ajoint venture between the faculty and the Alzheimer Association of Ontario. “My motivation for initiating this project was a desire to enhance the quality of life of all persons afflicted and affected by this disease while the search for the cause and cure continues,” Murray said. His wife suffers from the disease. Meanwhile, the endowment is “a way of helping young people exhibiting an interest in health studies and this can ultimately impact positively on the project,” Murray said.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that is at present incurable. The devastating disease affects all aspects of a person’s life and makes significant demands on both family members and formal care providers. In the age group over 65 years, six to eight per cent may have Alzheimer’s disease, while nearly 26 per cent are afflicted in the group over 85 years, according to the Canadian Study of Health and Aging, Canadian Medical Association

“Few systematic studies of what works in Ontario long-term care facilities have been carried out and, as a result, facilities rely on American models which may not be applicable in the Ontario venue.” In the first year of operation, the project established a steering committee with members from the Ontario Nursing Home Association, the Ontario Association of Non-Profit Homes and Services for Seniors, the Alzheimer Association of Ontario, UW, and experts in the fields ofpsychiatric nursi ng, community planning and development, health planning, evaluation and gerontology.

COLOUR VISION Is It A Problem?

The Campus Files by James Ikussell Imprint staff 1

994 was much better than 1993, at least as far as Campus Security was concerned. Offcnces of all different kinds decreased, except for a few exceptions. The figures below for 1994 and 1993 are to the end of November for those years. There were 35 thefts ofuniversity property over 1994, down from 46. However, in one of the exceptions on the list, Break and Enters were way up on campus. There were 26 over ‘94, compared to just 9 in ‘93. There were fewer incidents of mischief on campus (48 compared to 66) and fewer instances of fire extinguishers being interfered with (5 compared to 12). Incidents of non-university theft (personal items) decreased to just 3 in the whole year. There were 12 in 1993. There were also fewer wallets stolen in 1994 (20 compared to 36), and fewer theft from cars (26 compared to SO). In other good news for those who drive to campus, the number of times that cars were vandalized dropped drastically, to 56 from 100 incidents in 1993. While the number of bikes stolen last year dropped by 41 to 99, you should still be on your guard. Of the 99, 22 wcrc stolen in last November alone. This may be due

to increased hours of darkness, but according to Sgt. Short, it is also due to people still not locking their bikes up properly. The number of car accidents on campus was virtually unchanged over the year, but this may change in the coming year, as there are going to be major changes to the way traffic moves on campus and the seven crosswalks across the ring road are going to be removed. The number of assaults increased slightly over 1993. There were 18 in 1994, compared to 14 in 1993. The number of sexual assaults decreased slightly, to three

from six. These were all incidents of “unwanted touching.” There were no reported rapes on campus. There was only one indecent act in 1994, down from 2 in 1993. Indecent acts are basically people exposing themselves. There were 5 in 1992. Campus police attribute the decline to the student security patrols in the Dana Porter that run for the last five hours of every day. Officers responded to situations caused by alcohol 70 times throughout the year. They responded to 100 in 1993. There were 110 medical emergencies in the year past, virtually unchanged from the previous year. Another increase has been marital disputes. They rose from 8 in ‘92 to 24 in 93, and last year reached 30. So much for marital

.bliss. _.

And there were 104 false fire alarms last year, slightly up from 85 in 1993. Some of these are due to

due to jerks screwing around with lighters, aerosol cans, etc. Finally, Campus Security would like to bring two matters to the student’s attention. Firstly, there is meter parking only in the PAC Quad. This means that you can only park where there are meters. Despite the seeming simplicity of these instructions, people are still getting towed on a regular basis. En fact, while I was in Sgt. Shortt’s office recently, he received a call from an irate man who was upset about getting towed afier parking in a spot where there used to be meters. As Shortt explained, metered parking only means “no parking where there is no meter.” Secondly, there have been two incidents recently caused, at least in part, by Walkmans. In one case, a man was struck from behind and knocked unconscious near East Campus Hall last term. He had been wearing a walkman and did not hear his attacker. And more recently, a student was adjusting his walkman while riding his bike on a path near the church colleges. While adjusting the walkman, he ran into someone. The message from the Campus Police is “listening to your favourite song instead of being aware of what is happening around you could place your personal safety at risk.” So straighten up and fly right, or your fifteen minutes of fame might be as a statistic in the Campus Files!

Feds ignore own referendum . continued

from

page 3

In April, 1994, then-President of the Federation of Students, Catherine Coleman, signed an agreement with the University of Waterloo. This agreement laid out how the new buildings were to be governed, and by whom. It also stated the interests and obligations of both the Federation of Students and the university, including what fees would be paid wheti. Under “Student Centre/Physical Recreation Facility,” the agreement states that “a fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) per term will be assessed to all full-time undergraduate students effective September 1, 1994. This fee is compulsory, non-refundable and inflation indexed.”

Based on this clause and the 1992 motion passed by the Board ofGovernors, Battae spoke to Codrington this past summer. Both agreed that the $25 fee should start in September, and the change to fee statements was made. However, the original referendum specifically stated that the capital fee would not start until both buildings -- the Physical Recreation Facility and the Student Centre -were open. The Physical Recreation Facility opened last year, in January, 1994. The Student Centre, however, is still months behind schedule and will not have its opening ccremonies until March 1995, at the end of the winter term. The referendum question was “do you support this coordinated plan andcorrespond-

ing student levies?” There were two levies described on the baflot. The second one stated “a new levy of $25/term would begin once the student centre and physical recreation facility are opened. This C.P.I. indexed fee would only continue until the projects are paid for (a maximum of 25 years).” Thus, according to the referendum question -- and all of the information provided to students at the time -- there would be no $25 fee until both buildings were open. One building, the Student Centre, is not currently open, but the fee is in place anyway. looking Codrington feels this is reasonable, despite its violation of the referendum. “The reason we decided not to delay with the $25 fee was because the north campus [recreation facility] was open for 8 months” by September. “We’ve got to get on with the financing of the project.” “It’s awkward that the openings [of the two buildings] are separated by over a year . . . but we have to start financing the building,” he continued. “Tt’d be fine if Leon’s could finance it with ‘don’t pay a cent’ but we have to get on with financing.” There is nothing wrong with charging students a fee that goes against the referendum, Codrington said, because “students were getting a free ride with the north campus facility.” An option was to start charging the fee when it opened, over a year ago. In fact, students shouId be glad that they did not have to start paying it until last term, he added. “The majority of the project will be finished six months after the fee [started] . . . and that seems to balance out,” so the discrepancy “doesn’t seem that far out ofwhack” to him. “We had the opportunity to delay the financing, but I didn’t see it as the right thing to do, [so I] didn’t pursue [that option].” Peter Hookins. Associate Provost df Student Affairs, agrees that starting the fee last September “balantes” with the early opening ofthe recreation facility. The intention, he said, was “not to charge anything until [the Student Centre was] open or close to opening” and when the agreement was signed in April, no one foresaw delays past September. “We could’ve started charging then [when the North Campus Facility opened], but we didn’t want two fees at once.” That, however, would have contradicted the terms of both the referendum and the 1992 motion at the Board of Governors. Two fees could not be charged simultaneously; once the capital fee ($25 per term) started, the endowment fee ($10 per term) had to stop. And the capital fee was not to start until both buildings were open. Instead, the decision was made to charge

the second, capital, fee starting in September. This was largely due to the erroneous assumption that the construction would be complete sometime during the fall term, and thus both buildings would open sometime in the same term the fee was charged. Coleman pointed to misplaced optimism in explaining the September start for the capital fee. When the agreement between the Federation and the university was signed in April, everyone involved thought the contractor, Ellis-Don, was only six

Y LZCEE. ZY~ldd [think of provisions for a late opening],” she continued. “We did say that [the capital fee] was supposed to coincide with when the building opened, and that isn’t happening.” Coleman remarked. “We certainly didn’t have the money” to not collect the fee in September, she added, because bank payments had to begin in November, another result of assuming the building would open on schedule. Further, Coleman said, “I don’t know last year that any of us were looking back at the referendum” and what it authorized. “We were planning on realizing some of the benefits [of the Student Centrc and the capital fee] by the fall,” Codrington noted, adding that “I could join in some of the criticisms oftheproject.” He also pointed out that “there’s a lot of hindsight” concerning decisions made about the Student Coordinated Plan, but overall it is a benefit to the university and there is little to do about it now. Peter Hopkins also agreed that with hindsight the delays might have been predicted. “Yeah, but you never know that [then],” he stated. He also stated that because the building was to open sometime during the fall term, which ended in December, it was only three months behind, not seven. However, despite the North Campus Physical Recreation Facility opening early and bank payments due in the fall, according to the original referendum and the Board of Governors’ motion, the fee can not start until both buildings are opened. Coleman felt that there was little recourse for students who feel gypped. “1 suppose if worse came to worse, the money could be returned to them,” but she did not feel that this would be necessary. “I’m not trying to trivialize this . . . it’s not a minor thing.” But Codrington feels that there is no need for students to be upset. “It’d be a real shame if [students] , . . developed a sense of resentment over the project,” he said. “I don’t think this is a scandal at all . . . I don’t think this is scandalous.” /

Pedestrian Crosswalks Eliminated by Elaine

by Greg

Secord

Imprint staff

here are currently seven pedestrian crosswalks on campus. Last week, the provost announced that all seven of them will be removed and will not be replaced because they are more dangerous than helpful. UW’s crosswalks violate provincial standards regarding waming signs and sightlines. Drivers should be able to seeahead a certain distance before a crosswalk. This minimum distance is not in existence at most of the current locations because of how often Ring Road curves. A committee set up last spring to examine the crosswalk issue advocates eliminating crosswalks and using “walking figure”signsto warn drivers that pedestrians can be expected. This committee was chaired by Rudy Molinary, director of custodial and grounds services in the plant operations department. The other members were: Mike Campbell, achemistrygraduate and member of UW’s health and safety committee; Dr. Bruce Hutchinson (a traffic expert from civil engineering), Al MacKenzie (the director of security), Larry Richards (architectureprofessor), Kevin Stewart (safety director), and resource per-

here’s too much going on right now to update you on all of it, so I’m going to try and stick to two related events which will have broad, long-term impacts on University of Waterloo undergraduates. First, on January 25, I am spearheading an effort to organize a day of education with reference to Lloyd Axworthy’s Social Security Reform Proposals. Our proposals are being supported by President James Downey, and we anticipate support from the various Deans, once they have more details. Our proposals are as follows: instead of forcing students to skip class to become informed of the proposals, we are asking professors across campus to donate some portion of that day’s class time to expounding on the benefits of a broadly accessible post secondary education system. For professors who wish to speak but do not feel adequately informed, we will provide fact sheets to stimulate discussion. For professors willing to donate time, but hesitant to speak themselves, we will supply a guest speaker. The contrast of our positive, proactive approach to the walkouts some universities are contemplating organizing has already been well-received by many off-campus groups. The day of education’s second phase involves a forum for the entire Kitchener-Waterloo corrunu-

son Florence Thomlison (disabled students office). The committee has noted frequent conflicts between drivers and pedestrians. lt claims difficulties arise from inadequate signage, speeding drivers, poor sight distances, and the “inattentive and undisciplined behaviour of pedestrians and cyclists.” The committee’ s report recommends “consideration of controlled access, changes to campus entrances, bicycle lanes, on-road parking, and oneway traffic.” The provost has articulated a need for a major review of traffic flow and parking on campus. The committee has listed numerous related problem areas such as the lack of drop-off and pick-up zones at busy buildings, lack of short-term parking, space for buses, heavy traffic for special events, and “difficultics faced by UW Police in enforcing speed limits.” The committee advises the elimination of crosswalks, increased signage, improved traffic enforcement, and the use of “traffic calming measures.” The fmal report from the committee to the provost was made June 30 and is available on UWinfo under “Dticumerits.” - withJiles from the Gazette

nity, with presentations of the various alternatives which have been developed. So far, the following organizations have agreed to send high-profile representatives: the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), the Council of Ontario University Staff Associations (COUSA), the Ministry of Education and Training (MET), the Ontario Council of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA), and the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance @USA). We are awaiting word from Lloyd Axworthy’s office as to who the Federal representative will be. The second event is a conference which will be occurring January 29-3 1 in Fredericton. Stephen Codrington and I will be representing you at this conference, whose goal is to finalize details on a new national student organization, tentatively called the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, or , CASA. More details on this can be ’ picked up from the Fed office, by calling x2340, or e-mailing me at fedacadawatserv 1.

n this so-called age of consumer consciousness we are faced with o options when dealing with the by-products of our disposable society. One is to not buy the product. This is not really an option when it means denying us of all the great things which we really need, like salad spinners, and Reebok Pumps. We will not do this, because itmeans personal sacrifice. The other, more politically correct option is to recycle. Recycling is an option that is virtually perfect. It allows us to be the same gluttonous consumers that we were before this new consciousness, except witha clear conscience. All we do is instead of chucking newspapers and pop-bottles into the garbage, we stick them into the blue-box, where through a miracle process, they turn into plastic pipes and those sand-paper towels, the kind which we find in the bathrooms of this very campus. What many people aren’t aware of, however, is that recycling does

not work. Oh sure, in the best scenario, it may prolong the life of the product, but in the end, what do we end up doing to those paper towels? They get thrown away, and end up in our overflowing landfills. When will we realize that recycling is merely a band-aid solution, which treats the symptoms, but not the cause of the problem. Most of what is recycled ends up in the dumps, which are increasingly faced with the “Not in MY Backyard” mentality which is natural when faced with these huge, smelly behemoths. After all, with our increasing population, we are already running out of places to put our garbage without offending somebody. We would rather not see our waste. We would rather keep it out of sight. In Europe keeping garbage out of sight has become an increasingly hopeless proposition, because of their smaller size and larger population. The largest dump, near Marseille, France, covers 84 hectares. In their effort to rid themselves of the problem, they have stepped up their efforts in the recycling programs. Germany in particular has

been a leader in recycling, since the introduction ofa program by which consumers return virtually all of their packaging. However, the companies which are doing the recycling are running at capacity, and cannot deal with the enormous amount of used packaging which sits in warehouses all over the country. Hence, some of it is still thrown away, even though the government has stepped in with heavy fmancial backing. Would Canadians be very happy to hear that they must shell out more money in taxes to aid recycling? Not especially, if much of it gets thrown away anyway. No, recycling is not really much of an option. So what is? Well, other than the aforementioned option of doing without all that is entirely unnecessary, which really isn’t that hard to do, the other option is to reuse. That’s right, instead of buying things which you throw away, buy things which you reuse. Lug-amugs are a good example. More expensive at first, perhaps, but an easy way to carry a coffee, and you look really cool.

he debate over the PQ’s move to separate Quebec from the rest of A Canada is slowly moving in a new direction. The discussion on the economic impact of such a move, or whether or not they should be allowed to keep Canadian passports or even if the PQ will win must all be prefaced by a decision regarding the method by which the PQ intend on claiming their independence. Deliberation over the proper procedure for rejecting the Canadian Constitution began late last year with a brief headline battle between Parizeau and Chretien, Unfortunately, the issue died since neither party really wants to sit down and arrive at a decision. When the decision is being discussed, it will be clear that Parizeau is not as interested in deciding upon a legitimate formula as he is in choosing the formula which will make it easiest for him to win. If he can somehow devise a referendum which will consist of a simple majority of 50% of the voting population plus one, he has less individuals to woo. (This would amount to approximately two million people.) Chretien, on the other hand, will no doubt lean as close towards unanimity as possible to make it difficult for Quebec to separate. Whatever formula is decided upon, the question of legitimacy wiil (hopefully) always arise. Someone must ask: is this enough? Even if the Quebec government decides upon a two-thirds majority, what about the other third? Are they then expected to abide by a decision that others have made for them regarding their property and their lives? It is a poor, poor excuse to state that “this is the best we can do.” Surely the people of Quebec who do believe that secession wouldalmost certainly plunge them into a state of economic chaos should have some other recourse than being forced to move. The Quebec Paradox is that Parizeau and the PQ’s decision to separate from Canada because of the unjust treatment they receive as a minority may very well occur via a method which unjustly treats the minority of Quebecois who do not want to separate. Democracy isn’t only far from perfect, it reverts the art of politics to a decision ultimately guided by mob rule. This is part of Parizeau’s complaint, and it is a legitimate one. However, if Quebec’s first step towards independence does not recognize the importance of individual rights, then in the final analysis, Quebec will only be changing dictators. I If Quebec wants to make a claim of being a legitimate state, they must demonstrate that they are different than, and an improvement upon, Canada. This is nbt impossible, to be sure, however this entails a show on Parizeau’s part that he is interested in Quebec’s future, and not his own. ’ He must demonstrate that those people who do not agree with his position will not be pushed aside, but will be accomodated. Otherwise, his move towards separation (if successful) will reveal him to be a petty dictator and nothing more.

Doesn’t the Government Make you Sick? v

I ver been to the doctor’s and waited a really long time? Ever spent an afternoon sitting in acrowded waiting room full of people hacking and coughing? It’s not going to get better. Ever thought a good way to get rich would be to offer the public a service they are willing to pay for? You might be right, but not in Canada. The government of Ontario thinks there are too many doctors. Medical clinics are being threatened across the nation by the federal government. What the fuck is going on? Ruth Grier asked the Province of Quebec to limit the number of Ontario medical students it admits to its medical schools. Why? She says that we need to bring the number of doctors in line with the public needs. Oh, OK. As long as she had a good reason. Everyone knows that with the aging population, polluted drinking water and thinning ozone layer, a lot less people are going to need medical attention. The Federal Minister of Health, Diane Marleau, has threatened provinces with financial penalties in the form of withheld transfer payments if they continue to allow partially-private clinics to operate. What partially private means is that the physician’s fees are paid for by the provincial medical system (such as OHIP) and other expenses are paid for by the customer. The government says that these clinics are promoting a tiered health care system, where the rich are treated first, and the poor get whatever is left over. In actual fact, they want these things shut down because they expose the inefficiency of a public system and make the government look bad.

How can more medical facilities possibly hurt anybody? How can more doctors ever do harm? How could the nation, the province, or anyone, suffer from having plenty of facilities and trained personnel with the purpose of healing the sick and wounded, with the purpose of alleviating pain and suffering? It’s easy for the boobs in Ottawa to condemn a tiered system. They already get quick and superior health care. They can either go to a hospital in Ottawa especially for

I hate to be a cynic, but if you believe that the government looks out for the people over its own interests, you are a fool. The government is just a bunch of people who hate looking like morons as much as the rest of us. They know that if they let private enterprise have a chance at doing something that the government is currently doing, they don’t have a chance. They will come off looking worse, and that can’t happen. If it means moreill people, that’sjust too bad. It won’t be

them. A strong supporter of the federal move is the Health Minister of B.C., Paul Ramsey. He says that these clinics are contrary to the Canada Health Act, which tries to guarantee all Canadians equal access to medical services. Equal access is all well and good, but is it an ideal you stick with if it actually Zowers the standards of health care? You can have just the service we have now, or you can have those and better services. Why not choose the latter? No one is hurt by the existence of partially private clinics, so where is the evil? A tiered system could actually be of benefit to the poor’ those who are supposed to suffer under such a system. The rich can go to the partially private clinics, and the waiting times at the public hospitals will be reduced! Right now we have a system that the government considers adequate. But wouldn’t it be better to have adequate and better? Not according to the government. For them, better is just not acceptable. Ramsey goes on to say that he doesn’t thinkcanadians share this vision of an American system. Fine. Let’s see. If they don’t, then these clinics will have no customers and go out of business. Great. The free market at work, If they do, then the clinics will have customers, will stay in business, and continue to provide better service than the government currently provides. Of course, the government knows, like the rest of us do, that people want this service. Not to make the government look incompetent or inefficient, but bt;cause they wmt to be healthy. But the government doesn’t care. Keep face first, worry about public health later. Let’s get our priorities straight. = James

Montreal massacre

To the Editur, Mark Tompsett and Kevin Miller (Imprint letters, January 6) make a riotous pair. Tompsett would have us see Mat-c Lepine as a victim. Miller, writing in a tone that goes beyond the poor taste of the worst satire, upholds Lepine as a feminist hero. Each fails to grasp the symbolism of the Montreal Massacre (i.e. the 14 dead were killed because they were women and therefore they tire symbols of violence against women. j One can only assume that each suffers from a severe case of stunted imagination. Worse yet, each claims that feminists have tailored an interpretation of the events of December 6, 1989 to suit their political agenda, which Tompsett and Miller apparently disagree with, though the “purposes” of the feminist project remain submerged in each of their letters, a frightening creature void of form. Feminist interpretations of the Montreal Massacre are not “manipulations”; they are part of a larger quest for meaning, a search that seeks to make sense of the grotesque ways men and women treat each other and the dreadful consequences which too often result. - Michael English

Montreal massacre #2 To the Editor, I feel well prepared to respond to the letter from Mark Tompsett (January 6, Imprint), since this discussion has been frequent since Dec. 6,1989. Perhaps Kevin Miller will be so kind as to read my response as well. I have difficulty comprehending comments like “Does it really matter that it was women that were shot and killed?’ and “The women he killed were merely a convenient target for his anger.” The answer to the first question is an unqualified YES. My response to the second statement is that murdered people are never MERELY a target. Mr. Tompsett points out that they were fourteen human beings who were killed. Read that, Mr. Miller. Human beings. Women. I am not qualified to speculate about the sanity of Marc Lepine, but I will suggest that the fact of his sanity is almost irrelevant. If he was insane, there must have been a reason. Marc Lepine did not grow up and develop in a vacuum. He is a product of the society that I am, and are Messrs. Tompsett and Miller. Marc Lepine felt that women working towards an education were a threat to him. This attitude did not come from some black hole somewhere in Montreal. It was not because he was constantly turned down for a date. He learned this, as have count-

less men and women who hold similar attitudes but who do not choose to make fourteen innocent women their victims. So why does it matter that they were women, Mr. Tompsett asks? If it did not, Marc Lepine would have held everyone in the room. He would have ordered the first dozen or so people to whose looks he objected to sitand against the wall, and shoot them one by one. HI: would have killed himself without writing a note that says “I have decided to send the feminists who have always ruined my life, to their Maker.” And the media would still make him a “bad guy.” My bet is that people like you, Mr. Tompsett, and you, Mr. Miller, would not feel so threatened by coverage of that event. People kill other people every day. Mr. Miller refers to Rwanda in the context of the hunger problem. More worrying is the incidence of massacre and war in Rwanda and Bosnia and the West Bank and many other places on which the media do not focus. The reasons for these conflicts are complicated, but for the most part people are killed because of who they are. Do you see now why women, like myself, my friends, and many I do not know, feel so angered and saddened and threatened by Marc Lepine’s actions. 3 I will not have compassion for Marc Lepine, Mr. Tompsett. Regardless of whether I knew the women, and I did not, they were fourteen women who fell victim to a man who was angry. This also happens every day we probably all know a woman who has been the victim of violence in some form. Feminists do not use this event for their own agenda. The choice was not theirs to make, Marc Lepine implicated women, and specifically feminists, and it is our duty to respond to that+ By *‘clinging to a tragedy”, we acknowledge the value of these And, Mr. Miller, if you women. commend the efforts of women to achieve equality to men, why do you state that “women are victims, have always been victims, and probably always will be victims?” Mr. Tompsett asks us to remember “not just the people called ‘vicfims’ by the media, but the ‘victims’ of society.” We are doing that, Mr. Tompsett. We do not derive some “emotional fulfillment” from this tragedy, Mr. Miller. If I had my wish, I would not be watching people light candles for these women every December 6. I would not be shedding tears. I would not have to defend my anger and pain. - Heather Calder 3B English

Montreal To the Editor, I’m reading along the letters in the Imprint thinking, “Oh no, not again.” And just when I thought we were getting somewhere. It dismays me that Mark Tompsett could attend a university

(I assume) without having developed some above average reasoning skills. To say that the events at Ecole Polytechnique on December 6, t 989 were not related to gender issues and the feminist movement would be a horrible injustice. It would mean that we refuse to acknowledge that men like Marc Lepine have existed for a long time and continue to exist today. Mark raises some interesting points. He asks you to put yourself in the shoes of a man who grew up thinking that men are superior to women and therefore had certain exclusive rights in society. Imagine this man’s pain when he learns that his way of thinking is not winning the affections of the “weaker sex”. Can you then imagine that your natural reaction would be to systematically slaughter as many women as possible? I just don’t see it, Mark. Your analogy to stealing food is very revealing indeed. Firstly, I must say that stealing food and murdering aren’t exactly in the same class. In addition to the fact that one is far more morally offensive than the other, it seems that stealing food would be a person’s last possible option exercised in order to survive. I think Mr. Lepine clearly had alternatives. Lastly, and most importantly, if I understand your analogy correctly, then you are trying to equate Lepine’s victims to the over-charging merchants (or the “bad guys”). I really hope you hadn’t thought this analogy through before you wrote your letter. The inherent danger in Mr. Tompsett’s letter is that he attempts to deny that Lepine was a man and his victims (systematically selected) were women. The plain and simple fact is that if they were not women, they would not have been shot that day. Marc Lepine told the world exactly what he was doing and why. He wasexactingrevengeon women who were going places and trying to do things that society had said were traditionally for men. It does matter, When I spoke at the memorial service last month, 1 mentioned that I felt Marc Lepine was still with us today. After the service I was approached by a woman whose daughter was murdered by her boyfriend. I think she agreed with me. The only way to fix a problem is to first admit that one exists. We do have a problem that needs to be talked about openly if we’re ever going to solve it. And if we don’t talk about it, please remember the following: ONE bad event will happen again. ONE person will die again. ONI!? person will make a big mistake again. ONE will be forgotten again. And again.

Montreal massacre #4 To the Editur, I disagree completely assertion that the Montreal

with the Massa-

cre commemoration should not be a forum for feminist concerns. Maybe it is true that “Marc Lepine did not seek out a particular group of women to kill because’ of their dedication to the feminist cause” but the fact remains that he sought themout BECAUSETHEY WERE WOMEN. Women continue to be targets for male violence: 1 in 4 Canadian women are raped in their lifetimes, 1 in 10 Canadian women are assaulted by their husbands, I in 5 murder victims in Canada is a woman murdered in her home... We do not commemorate the actions of Marc Lepine because of his “contribution to the feminist cause,” but because his violent actions are only the extreme of what many Canadian women endure every day. It is therefore perfectly reasonable that the Montreal Massacre commemorative ceremony serves in part as a poignant reminder that women continue to be victims of violence perpetrated by men, As for the “victim mentality” you say this denotes - watch us celebrate our strengths at the Take Back The Night march or during International Women’s Week (this term). Or better yet, lend your support. - Suzanne Waterloo

An apology? To the Editor, I am writing to rectify problems with the article B&get cuts and student apathy that I published in last issue’s Imprint. The problems arise from the fact that Imprint published the wrong article. After I wound up with a rough draft. and a revised draft, Imprint published my rough draft. The lesson I draw from this is never, never, leave your rough draft lying around a newsroom (I’m still searching for the revised draft on one of my disks.) The foremost problem concerns statement that the “Codrington’s Right Hand Man

abruptly slammed me down with the icy comment,‘1 thought this wasn’t going to be raised.“* This statement in the rough draft is not accurate. The man that I refer to expressed a point (perhaps a little forcefully) without any intent to slam anyone. The rough draft is full of bugs. One problem is the rough draft’s lack of polish and coherence. No one likes to have their poorest examples of writing put forward, and I’m no exception. Thirdly, I am concerned that my real views aren’t fairly represented. In the revised article, my final paragraph went something like this (I stilt hunt for my copy of the revised draft.) The student greed and apathy, that guides the hand of student government, does not deserve to wear the mantle of victim. The student’s privileged position is increasingly supported by a shady third world economy that quietly evolves without their protest. In fact, this economy increasingly employs the expertise of university graduates to help modem corporations evade labour and human rights codes. The revised draft more clearly identifies that the real underlying problem with student opposition to educational cut-backs is student apathy - not ineffective student government. Codrington and his assistant, Mr. Drewe, are honest and competent student leaders. I hope this letter accomplishes what my revised draft didn’t, and clears up the problems of my rough draft. = Glenn Fitzgerald Waterloo Ed&t’s

Note:

The article printed last week was not a “rough draft, ” buta final: copy as submitted by Mr. Fitzgerald. If you have been chastised byI yourpeers, Mr. Fitzgerald, I would appreciate your dealing with the problem personally and not involving Imprint in your tangled web. If you cannot defend your own views, laying blame on a thirdparty that has done you the service of printing an article is injurious and in poor taste; suggesting the existence of a phantum “revised drafr” . . *a* I simply will not do.

Muhammad. But with the birth of the modern age, marked with religious tolerance and freedom of thought, many non-Muslims began to know the truth about Him. The truth which was revealed 1400 years ago in the Qur’an. This great change in the Western approach regarding the Prophet Muhammad is best shown by the writings of some Westem authors and their delineation of His life and character. Lamartine, the renowned historian, speaking on the essentials of Human Greatness, wonders: “If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modem history with Muhammad?” (Historire de la Turquie, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp. 276). Bernard Shaw said about Him, ‘He must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like Him were to assume the dictatorship of the modem world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much-needed peace and happiness’ (The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol. I, No. 8, 1936). As a thinking and concerned human being, the least YOU can do is to stop for a moment and ask yourself: Could these statements, sounding so extraordinary and revolutionary, really be true? Isn’t it time to putin some effort to know Him? It will cost you nothing but it may prove to be the beginning of a completely new era in your life.

ver the past several years, the issue of intellectual property (IP) has become an increasingly prevalent issue. In particular, the problem of the theft of intellectual property has only been brought to light in recent times. IP was defined by the Univer-

sity of Waterloo in 1993 as “sys-

mic knowledge, often from reor dePear&, for the manufacture Sign of a product, the application of 4 process or technique or the ren-

Bering of a service. This knowledge may include, but is not limited to: inventions, designs, software, methods, processes, techniques, reports, drawings, plans, books, specifications, photographs, works of art, musical compositions, models, prototypes, patterns, samples, schematics, experimental or test data, data files, documentation, technical know-how or show-how.” What this boils down to is that as opposed such physical properties as real estateor money, IP consists of the product and property of one’s mind. Although IP may be irrelevant to many students in the earlier years of their scholastic endeavours, it has become a problem for graduate studentsat this university and at universities across Canada and the United States. It is often assumed by the general public that the person who thought of an idea should own it and be given credit for it. This is not always true. IP problems can arise whenever two or more individuals collaborate, however minimally (even financially), in the creation and development of an idea. IP disputes can, and have, arisen between senior and junior professors, professors of the same rank, and, most problematically, given the power differential, between professors and graduate students. In such cases, the following scenario usually takes place. A graduate student, under the supervision of a professor, creates projects to be researched and then proceeds to do the work. The supervisor guides the student and makes suggestions along the way. When the student is ready to publish the research results, the professsor hijacks some, most, or all of the credit, although the bulk of the work has been done by the student and the professor has had a limited role in the final product. The professor may have provided some form of direction and some ideas but did not contribute the majority of the research. Graduate students have limited options at this point, because they must acknowledge that theprofessor was of some assistance. Students also know that their evaluation (including all-important

Thou for

Shalt Not Intellectual

Steal Property)

letters of recommendation) and their acceptance into the field of their choice may be at risk if they speak out against what they believe to be a theft of intellectual property. As it is difficult to prove ownership or authorship of an idea, unless it is recorded throughout its development, many studentsare left with their word against that of their

supervisor’s. In these casesthe supervisors are often sucessful because they are usually backed by the University. A case in point is that of Kevin Erler (Imprint, November 4), now a PhD. graduate, who raised an IP

complaint against his supervisor. While the university committee reviewing the casefound that at least some of Erler’s complaints were justified, it wouldn’t/couldn’t act on the matter, leaving Erler with no choice but to pursue the matter in civil court. LJW then paid for the supervisor’s court costs. Another unsettling scenario is that the graduate student may do research for their supervisor without pay, and in the end, receive no credit for the work that they have

done.

Although these scenarios are unpleasant to hear about and many believe that it would never happen in their university, it does happen at many North American universities with graduate programs. -_- _ _ The topic came to light in the Kitchener-Waterloo area in the Summer of 1994, when an editorial published in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record sparked several letters to the editor. Essentially, the author claimed that graduate studentsmust do slave labour for their supervisors, who have a dictator-like control over them, before a degree will be granted. The editorial claimed that graduate students would mark un-

editorial, written by University of Waterloo provost Jim Kalbfleisch, argued that supervisors are treating the studentsfairly and that the credit is given to supervisors becausethey did come up with the ideas and gave the research direction. In response to this, another letter came in from Pamela Gahwiler, the Vice President.of Cornmunications for the UW Graduate Student Association. In a rebuttal of Kalbfleisch’s letter, she pointed out the contradiction in the fact that

With wlese conflicting opin_ this -._ is in mind, it is evident that a delicate subject for professors and students alike and thus many factors must be weighed by the committees that review thesecases. It is difficult for university associations that govern these issues to reform the policies because every situation is different and they must take into account the position of the supervisor and the student and create a policy that is fair to all parties involved. ions

An editorial in the K-W Record stated that graduate students do slave work for their supervisors, who have dictator-like control over them, before a degree can be granted dergraduate papers and research the supervisor’s projects, suspecting that the supervisor would receive all of the credit for the work that is done. The editorial argued that credit should be given to those who think up the ideas and also to those who do the work. A response20 the

To avoid all of this, there are several ways in which students can protect themselves, their work and their ideas. Among them is documenting the work that they do for a dissertation or an experiment through the means ofmemos, computer diaries or other forms ofphysi-

cat evidence that could prove the idea and the process of work that accompanied it belong to them. This can also be accomplished by sending a registered letter to themselvesdetailing their work and leave it unopened as proof of ideas that they generated and the time fi-ame in which they were generated. Although the last option seems drastic, it is being resorted to by an increasing number of students who fear that it is the only way of protecting their intellectual property. One advocate for the rights of graduate students is the Canadian Graduate Council (CGC). It recently published a paper entitled “Research and Ownership: Intellectual Property Issuesin Canadian Graduate Schools,” which details the rights of students and includes twenty recommendations for Canadian universities to ensure the rights

stipulates that unless the student is being paid under the terms of a written contract to do a certain piece of research, the student should own all rights to their ideas and work. The CGC also suggests that when negotiating any contractswith external parties in which the student may lose their IP rights, universities should protect the rights and interests of students. The university should look out for students’ rights and ensure that they are not exploited by othei members of the continued

Universities have an obligation to protect the interests of both staff and students. Presently the UW rules on this issue state that

Also, the author that made the most significant contribution should be listed first. Editorial and financial support are not enough to warrant authorship rights.

your property

There are several legal mechanisms for the protection of different forms of intellectual property. One ofthem is the copyright. This is a way in which authors prevent others from copying their work. The author of the work has exclusive rights to the publishing, producing, reproducing and performing of a work in public. This right lasts for the life of the author plus fifty years. A copyright can exist as soon as a work that is copyrightable is completed, and is done so by placing the copyright symbol (0) in front of the creator’s name and the year after the name. Unfortunately the copyright only provides protection to the author for the expression of an idea, but not for the idea itself. This applies in the area of computer programs, where although a particular method may not be copied, the end result can. Another way for an inventor to retain rights to his or her inventions is by obtaining a patent for the object that has been created. Again, though, only tangible objects can be patented. Also, the inventor must divulge the complete contents of the item to be patented and the patent is made public to permit the sharing of knowledge. A patent allows the inventor to profit monetari ly from the invention for a fixed period of time ( twenty years from the time of the patent application) and reapplication for a patent status is generally given without a problem. The final way to protect the creations of inventors is through trade-marks. A trade-mark, as defined by Consumer and Corporate Affairs (199 l), is “ a word, symbol, or picture - or a combination of these - used to distinguish goods or services of one person or organization from those of competitors.” An invention that has a trade-mark, registered under the Trade-Marks Act, gives the inventor exclusive rights for the use of the product in Canada as the law stands now. Trademarks are restricted to names other than those belonging to the living or those who have died in the past thirty years. The registration of trade-marks lasts for 15 years and can be renewed an unlimited number of times. Besides not necessarily being relevant to graduate research, these legal mechanisms are unfortunately often too complicated for graduate students attempting to make progress in their research to bother with.

Basketball Warriors meet Lakeheadin firsttwo games oftheregular season by Kimberly Moser Imprint sports

he men’s regular basketball season is upon us, and with it comes a fresh new start for the Warriors. Waterloo will begin its regular season against Lakehead in a double-header this weekend. Lakeheadsplit twogames with Western last weekend in their first two games of the season. Head Coach Tom Kieswetter is very happy with the progress that the team has make over the course of the pre-season and is very optimistic about the Warriors’ chances this season. “Right now all the so-called experts have picked Brock and MC Master to be the top two teams. The other six teams are grouped together, but, if you look at what happened this weekend, Brockjust beat Windsor in overtime. Thatjust proves that there is not a big difference between the favourites and the group.” “I would think that it is wide open and despite our pre-season record we are starting just the same as everyone else. So the fact that we have an opportunity to re-start makes us optimistic and enthusiastic about our opportunities.” In order to be successtil this weekend, the Warriors will have to

hold off Lakehead’s Craig Law and Peter Brown. Law is a fourth-year, 6’7 player who averaged 24 points in the games against Western on the weekend. Peter Brown is a fifth-year player who is small yet very quick and can hit the three-pointer. The defense will have to be very strong to hold off these two players who were very dominant in last weekend’s games. Offensively the team must play an up-tempo game and show more consistency. Other players besides Sean Van Koughnctt and Mark Hopkins need once again to step up and continue to balance out the scoring among the team. Kieswetter also feels that the team has to go through Van Koughnett to be successful. He does not necessarily have to score all the points but the plays should to go through him. However, Kieswetter feels the team has made some very steady progress in the pre-season and feels his team is ready for the regular season. “We’ve made some progress. We haven’t got a great record but we do feel we have made some steady progress in terms of our play, execution and effort. Even our understanding of what we have to do has improved.”

Some good news for the Warriors is the fact that Tom Balfe is back playing at 100%. Balfe was out earlier in the year with a bad back and hip. Ashoak Crewal has also been given the o.k. to practise once again after his shoulder separation earlier this year. Grewal is doubtful for the games against Lakehead this weekend but Kieswetter hopes to have him back very soon. This if the first time Photo by this year that the team has been very healthy. Cop-Killer In their last game of in their the pre-season, the Warriors took on the Metropolitan police. Although the score was a lopsided 113-70 win for the Warriors, it gave them a chance to become aggressive and execute their systems. The police were.missing a few of their key players because of the weather conditions but the Warriors came out to win and just overpowered them. “From our perspective, it was a chance to get our offense in gear.” said Kieswetter after the game. “One of the concerns that we

had was getting scoring from other people, that is other than Sean Van Koughnett and Mark Hopkins.” Six players were in doubledigits in the game against the police, a welcome change from other games in the pre-season. Another bright sign for the Warriors is the fact that because of the amount of injuries in the preseason, the rookies have gotten a lot of extra playing time. Mike Stroeder, Mano Watsa and Mark Eys have had very good pre-seasons. Kieswetter feels that Waterloo has some of the top rook-

ies in the league. An important factor in the outcome of this weekend’s games will be the fans, or what has been called in previous years, the sixth man. Kieswetter wants to invite, welcome, and encourage all the students at Waterloo to come out to the games. “I would Iike the students to know that they can be a factor in a game. Their energy can sometimes make a difference. We will provide great entertainment.” Game time is 8 p.m. tonight and Saturday night at the PAC.

Try as they may to fight their way back, Waterloo just couldn’t seem to find the net, bouncing the puck off the cross bars or missing it altogether. “You only get so many chances to beat a team like Laurier,” said a disappointed McKee. “We played them in two games and we should have beaten them in that first game.” “We didn’t finish very we11 offensively. We had a lot of good chances but they had really good goal-tending. “Defensively we just collapsed and gave tern an opportunity to finish. They finished on every good chance they had.” Sheldon Gilchrist and Mark Cardiff had Waterloo’s only goals while Greg Allen, Jason Mervyn, Mat St. Germain and Mike Chamhers had assists. Another factor that has to be considered is the fact that many key Warriors were either just coming off of injuries or out.

Aaron Kenney is out with a shoulder separation and a bad back and is not playing. Dwayne Johnson has a shoulder separation and is not playing. Marc Vaughn is playing, but still coming off a bad groin injury. Greg Allen is just back after knee surgery and Steve Smith is just beginning to skate again after his knee surgery. However, Saturday wasn’t a total loss for the Warriors; newcomer Mike Chambers had good first game against Laurier. “I think that with a little bit more time and more conditioning, he’s going to be an asset to this team.” said McKee. “He showed me some good signs of what he can do.” The Warriors are also looking at another goaltender. Todd Russet has been practising with the team and McKee is very impressed by the way he has been practicing. Look for Waterloo to mix it up a little and change a few things this weekend as they try to get that spark back into the offense and keep the puck out of their net. -

Missing their star blocker, who is ranked number one in the country, Waterloo p I ayed with 4 of their 6 original starters, and was sorely disappointed with the fourth place finish. Nonetheless, the tournament was an excellent opportunity for players who had previously seen little court action to get some playing in, and provided an excellent pre-season start to the second half of league play.

ast weekend the Athena basketball team met the MC Master Marauders in Hamilton, losing 63-65 after a great comeback effort by the Waterloo team. The Athenas now look forward to their double-header with Lakehead tonight and Saturday night. “Lakehead is a very young and small team,” said head coach Kathy Keats. “They were ranked earlier in the season and have beaten a lot of very strong teams.” “We are hoping to take advancut tage of their size this weekend by making a lot of rebounds and running and pressing our drives.” To be successful this weekend, Waterloo must be able to stop Donna Foreman and Allison Smith. Foreman, a fourth-year player, is very strong, while Smith-was one of the top rookies in the conference last year. Keats expects for these back-to-back games to be very exciting. Last year when Lakehead was expected to overpower the Athenas, Waterloo hung tough, losing by only one point in the first game and getting a surprising 16 point win in the second. Back-to-back games are always exciting as the action swings back and fourth between

the two games over the course of the weekend. Keats feels her team has a very good shot at winning the two games this weekend and looks to have good games out of rookie Jacalyn White, 1994 OUAA all-star Sue Cruise, and point guard Max Lapthome. The game against McMaster started out slowly, but the Marauders were very aggressive, taking the Athenas down quickly. The Athenas reacted badly to the Marauder players, ending up down 24 points at the half. In an amazing comeback attempt, the team regrouped and managed to cut the Marauders lead to

Twelve OUAA

skiers qualify for upcoming & OWIAA championships

by Joanne Murray Imprint sports

ith participation in three races over the holidays and a pursuit race the first weekend back to classes, the Nordic Ski team has decided upon preliminary team qua1 i fications. Those selected in the preliminary qualifications, the six fastest ofthe males and of the females, benefit from University funding for upcoming races in Orangevi lie and Duntroon. Each skier sclects his or her best classical and best skate race out of five races to date, which includes the training camp classical race, the National Capital Division races at Gatineau, and the team pursuit race held at Minto Glen. The first race was a team timtrial at the annual Christmas training camp, held this year from December 20-25 at D;rntroon Highlands. Perhaps the only place in southern Ontario that actually had good

snow conditions, Duntroon provided a wellgroomed course for the classical race. The race occurred on the last day of the camp, with the women racing one lap of the 4lu-n course, and the men racing two laps. Joanne Murray had the top placing for the U of W women, followed by Alexandra Mihailaric and Tanya Moore. The top three males were Scott Curry, older brother Brent and Norm U’Reilly. The next stop was for the N& tional Capital division Intcr-divisional races held December 31 and January 1 at Gatineau Park. The races drew a talented and experienced crowd of skiers from across Ontario, as they served as qualifiers for the Junior Ontario Team and the Canadian Winter Games. In Saturday’s 5km skate race, Joanne Murray placed 17th, while Natalie Sonosky was close behind in 2 1 st. In the men’s 1Okm skate race, Dave Climie placed 19th, Brent Curry came in

Our dedicated UW skiers spent Christmas Eve in training and ushered in the New Year by waxing their skis and preparaing for a day of heavy racing. .

Much to the team’s dismay, they welcomed in the new year by waxing their skis for Sunday’s classical race. Joanne placed 15th in the 7.5km race and Sonosky took 18th place. The men raced a 15km course, with Dave taking the top UW spot at l&h, followed by Steve at 28th. The remaining guys were extremely competitive with each other as they placed in close proximation to their teammates. Scott came in at 32nd, and Brent was close on his heels at 34th, followed by

Brad at 3&h, Kevin at 37th, Norm at 41 st, Brian at 44th, Ed at 45th, Al at 4&h, and Randy at 47th. The latest and much anticipated race was the team pursuit race held once again at Minto Glen. This race entails a classical and skate race, yet it is operated differently than usual races. The classical race was held in the moming, and racers were started in normal intervals of thirty seconds apart. For the afternoon’s skate race, the fastest skier for the classical race is released first, with the rcmaining racers released after the difference oftheir time to the top skier’s time has passed. What follows is an all-out race to the finish, with the first skier to the finish declared the overall winner. (continued on page 21)

Maized The Skydiggers w/ Paul MacLeod Wednesday, January 11 Phil’s Grandson’s Place by Brad Hug&s special to Imprint

efore this review begins, a special thanks goes out to the guy at the fire marshal’s desk who wasn’t doing his job. Ne’er have I seen a bar so stuffed and the 500 or so patrons left fully satisfied. It was quite obvious that Phil’s management oversold the show and this is quite a testament to the Skydiggers’ live show. The Skydiggers don’t need to use an armoury of special effects to keep an audience interested. They do it the old-fashioned way, by letting the music take centre stage. While I’m no huge fan of the band’s version of folk-rock, I was constantly entertained by their show. They opened with a catchy selection, “Toss and Turn”, and they were spectacular right through to their encore which featured a bizarre “Mr.Soul”/ “Satisfaction” combination. Being catchy was the key to their show. For the most part they kept to the up-

et in 1920s New York, an idealistic writer attempts to have his play staged on Broadway. Financial backing comes from the local mob boss who ensures his dream, but also demands a role for his ambitious mall. With strings attached, this artistic temperament strains under the pressure, yet is forced to pamper the theatrical egos of his actors. Torn by inner conflicts and doubts, the playwright surprisingly learns about life from a hi tman. John Cusack fares well as the rumpled, impoverished writer DavidShayne. Easily manipulated by the whims of others and his own insecutities, he all too often loses his head. Dianne Wiest is the play’s main actress, Ventriloquists Helen Sinclair. Melodramatic and overdone most of the time, she suffers from magnificent illusions like Norma Desmond, and preys on David’s weaknesses. Jennifer Tilly is the vapid squeeze Olive. Tilly plays her character extremely well, and creates most of the picture’s comedy. The role appears to be patterned after the ditzy Lina Lamont fromsingin ‘in 77ze Rain. Chazz Palmenteri is the talented and intelligent bodyguard Cheech, who quietly helps David with his unwieldy script. Olive and Cheech’s high strung banter strongly compliments each other, and together they come close to stealing the entire show. The days of speakeasies, theatre, and bathtub gin are lovingly reproduced in the detailed costumes and sets. Beautiful clothes and drapery, and lots of attention spent on the

have been for the better. In spite of the lacklustre writing, the acting is superb. Forrest Whittacker is hilarious as a bisexual and obnoxious designer. Stephen Rea stands out as an acerbic photographer, who shows up for shouts where everything has already been set up by his assistants. He bitches for a minute, snaps one photograph, and leaves. Tracey Ullman, a fashion show socialite in real life, is excellent in her role as a brash magazine editor. The best plot line features Tim Robbins and Julia Roberts, two strangers who must share a hotel suite. She plays a fashion reporter who knows her stuff, while he is a sports reporter who is forced by his editor to cover fashion week. They spend the week in the hotel room, alternately having sex and

Original recordings of these popular tunes are heard, and give the picture its lively and energetic tempo. Several selections come from Gershwin and Oscar Hammerstein II, but the entire soundtrack establishes the prevailing mood and suits the movie well. Bullets Over Broudwuy is a lighthearted, entertaining film. It possesses a sound script, and the humour of the piece rarely misses its mark.

stunk. Fortunately the band would sometimes launch Corn one song into a song which avoided the annoyance that could have happened should Maize had been allowed to speak between every song. The band itself is visually unimpressive, In general they stood around and concentrated on their playing. Not that the small stage at Phil’s afforded them a lot of space in which to move. Andy Maize managed to make the most of his allotted hundred square centimetres. When he performs he somehow manages to combine The Bird Dance with all of Elvis’s (Presley, not Stoyko) karate moves. I found his “moves” quite useful as it provides the watcher with a visual focus and keeps the band from being completely boring to look at. Opening act Paul MacLeod put on a solidshow. Because he is a soloperformerhe can’t help but be a little visually unexciting (maybe he should hire Andy Maize as a gogo dancer). His strength lies not in his visual performance though, The way he can emote so much just through his voice and guitar is incredible. Paul received lots of applause throughout his set and it was well deserved. For another chance to see him, Paul’s playing a free nooner at the Bombshelter this Friday (Hey! ! That’s today!)

the police. The central plot follows the investigation of this murder and the suspect’s avoidance of the police. As with other Robert Altman films, there are numerous subplots, most of which deal with adultery and backstabbing. These secret affairs give the film most of its charm. In one scene, a designer’s wife is having phone sex with her secret lover while her husband is two feet away, fitting clothes on models for an upcoming show. There’s also a cheesy reunion between two long-separated lovers. This is the least interesting of the subplots, even though the ever-glamorous Sophia Loren is one of the long-lost lovers. This entire plot line could have been dropped from the film and it would

captures the circuslike atmosphere which surrounds them. Between the runway shows there are interviews with lots of real designers. One problem is that they are giving interviews to a phoney TV fashion reporter, played by Kim Basinger. Real Iife interviews with fashion designers can be boring, and they are even worse here as Basinger’s character asks dippy and obnoxious questions. Unless you are a die-hard fashion addict, I can’t see how you would enjoy these parts, of which there are many. T’k problem with Poet-a-Porter is that the interweaving plots are boring. During the moments that should have been suspenseful, 1 found myself asking, “who cares?’ Go soon if you want to see it--the theatre was nearly empty when I went.

Send in the clowns Son of the Circus

John Irving 1994, Alfred A. Knopf, 633 pgs., $32.00 by Jeff Imprint

Canada

Warner staff

r. Farrokh Daruwalla, a Canadian orthopaedic surgeon who treats crippled children in Bombay, feels out ofplace virtually everywhere he lives. His sense of displacement runs throughout A Son of the Circus, and it unfortunately tends to infect the reader: you don’t feel at home in this book. Not that it’s a bad novel. It is quite entertaining and enjoyable. But it fails to catch you the way some of Irving’s earlier works do (The Hotel New Hampshire, A Pvay~for Owen Meany, and Cider House Rules all come to mind), which is disappointing. A Son of follows Dr. Daruwalla and a large assortment of others through the (gradual) investigation of a series of murders. This is quite possibly the most diverse collection of characters yet in one of Irving’s novels -- circus dwarfs, trapeze artists, crippled beggars, doctors, transsexuals, American hippies, detectives, popular but hated movie stars and zealous Catholic missionaries who are long lost twins after all, and others. But none of them are as vivid or as intense as Meany or Garp, largely because there’s simply too much going on. The plot is much more complex and tangled than that of nor-

Wurld According tu Garp will appreciate how careful Irving is in this book. Possibly he got a new, less tolerant editor, or has simply matured after eight nove!s and several short stories. Either way, he is extremely careful to tell you who is remembering, what time period their thoughts are in, when they are back in the “present,” and all other details. Few will have problems following the book’s flow, which is a definite plus. The cost of such care is a diminishing of the frantic energy and happy chaos that made so many of Irving’s novels great. Rarely do you

find yourself carried away by the characters and the flow of events; it is almost as if Irving spent so much time carefully constructing the plot and its links that he trapped the life of the story. True, there are terrific portions of the story, and excellent scenes and conversations. But you are made so aware of where they fit in with everything else that the momentum stays with the scene, not with the reader. Which is too bad, because there is a lot of potential in A Son @ihe Circus. And, despite not being as good as some of his other works, it is an enjoyable novel. Just not a great one.

Ode to a Nightingale The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye (Five fairy stories) A. S. Byatt Chatto and Windus $20.00, 280 pgs. by James Imprint

Russell

staff

S. Byatt has chosen five stories for this compilation. Except for the title story, they are all under 25 pages. “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” itself is about 180 pages. The first story is “The Glass coffin.” It is about a tailor who is wandering through the woods as people always seem to be doing in fairy tales, and ends up rescuing a beautiful princess and defeating an evil wizard. Nothing original here. Despite some great descriptions, the story falters at the end. A large number of elements are introduced in the beginning, only to be ignored at the end as the story wraps up in what seems to be unnecessary haste. The second story is “Gode’s Story.” It is about a poor young man who sails all over the world, and brings a ribbon to the Miller’s daughter from far across the ocean because he loves her. She insults him and he ends up maying someone else, and then he goes insane and dies. It is one of those stories

that seemsto end without anything happening. You turn the page to see if there’s more, but there isn’t. Disapointing. The third story is “The Story of

the Third Princess.” It is a story about a princess who gets sent off on a quest, only to realize that she is actually in a fairy tale, so she abandons her quest, finds a small house in the middle of the forest where a little old woman lives, and, surprise surprise, lives happily ever after. The other two princesses turn out to

be completely irrelevant to the story. The fourth story, “Dragon’s Breath,” was written for a project in aid of Sarajevo. It, like the others, is simplistic, but unlike the others, is particularly miserable. It is about a

village which gets destroyed by six burning lumps that advance over the hills, spitting smoke and sparks, destroying everything in their path.

Eventually, the lumps consume this village. While this is occuring, Harry rims into the smoke in an attempt to rescue his favorite pig, Boris. When all is over and done with, the villagers return to their shattered and ruined homes. Harry’s family is overjoyed to find Boris there, as this leads to hope that Harry is alright, as he hasn’t been seen since heran after Boris. However, he is never seen again, and his family sits around and feel their hope slowly running out. It is a moving tale, but not one that I’d really want to read over too many times. The final story, “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye,” is, I suppose, a fairy tale for the nineties. It is about a woman who is a narratologist, whose business it is to tell stories. She is in her fifties and single, as her husband ran off with a twenty-six year old a little while ago. Anyway, she goes to a narratologist’s conference in Turkey, where she picks up a Djinn who gives the usual three wishes. Wish number one is to look 37. Wish number two is for the Djinn to love her, and she gives the third wish to the Djinn. Ho hum. If you are a collector of books of fairy tales, this one will probably look nice on your shelf. It has a nice cover and is printed on some thick and textured paper. I’m not sure it’s worth the $20.00 price tag though. If you are looking for a book to read to your kids, forget it. Most of these

stories are geared tv adults, and aren’t that interesting anyway.

Bassist Al SBloch hails from Seattle and gained experience with a number of underground bands like The Cheaters and Wenis as well as spending some time as a member of Concrete Blonde. Their music easily lends itself to a live setting. Chris Bratton’s drumming provides a great drive to the music. You can hear on the album how songs like “Kill The Crow” and “Coalinga” can inspire some serious slam/mash action. Wool is sure to set a blistering pace to their show. It was their live set that started creating the current buzz on the band. While most of their experience is based in straight-ahead garagerock their new album shows the band can play a variety of styles. Songs like “Eat Some 2%” and “B350” display their ability to meld jazz onto rock n’ roll. They also cover Greg Allman’s ‘“God Rest His Soul” which highlights the influence blues has in their musicianship.

Wool still consider themselves a punk band though. “When we were growing up, being punk rock was like a stigma,” says Pete Stahl. “That’s what was fun about it. You were messing with people, and that was the best part. Even though the music may have been accepted into the mainstream, you can still mess with people. Any time you ask an audience what’s on their minds, anytime you make them think, that’s messing with ‘em.” Franz Stahl offers, “But however far things progress there’s always an element of our roots in what we do. It’s like the rap of today using samples of soul records: Punk rock is like soul music to a lot of white suburban kids.” Don’t miss a great chance to see a superior live band like Wool play in The Volcano’s intimate setting. Wool’s stock is rising fast so this could be the last tour where they’ll be playing this small a venue. So, for the small price of 5 bucks you get the exciting Wool with 3 other bands. You can’t go wrong.

The dearth of new English talbreaking into the American market lately is unprecedented since the British Invasion. Think about it: in 1990 there was EMF and JesusJones, and Right Said Fred in ‘92, but since then there has not been one new band in any genre of music from Britain to enter the top ten. The big hypes there either completely flop here (Manic Street Preachers), or achieve a sort of marginal success (Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Suede). It seems that actual lack of hype works to aid in their success,as any bands that do semi-break stateside don’t have the Brit press drooling. Like with Jesus Jones, or EMF, or Radiohead.. . Or James, who endured much critical derision in England in the last year, while in America they represent, with Laid, the proverbial Great Hope of B&pop. They sell the best numbers of anybody, the tour went well, and they were one of only three (I) British bands that played Woodstock (mind you, I think Blur, Suede, et al would have laughed had they been asked). As with Green Day and The Offspring, you now have thatjock Woodstocktype crowd forming the fanbase, drunkenly belting out the words to “Laid” at the local student pub, when a song like “Born of Frustraent

Earlier this year Hip Club Groove (HCG) came to town supporting Sloan’s Canadian tour. Not only was the HCG highlyentertaining in their live show, but the music is probably the best brand of hip hop music I’ve heard in a very long time. Fortunately, the sound of their live performance comesacross on disc in pristine form with their first EP, Trailer Park Hip Hop. Unlike so many hip hop bands that delve into self-glorification about the bad-assesthat they are, or the gratuitous use ofbeautiful scantily clad women, Hip Club Groove just don’t relate. In their Canadian way, they have a certain self-depricating attitude towards themselves that most Canadians can relate to. This levelheadedness about their music is

an indie band with a history, especially for a band releasing their debut album. As NC 17, the foursome played the Southern Ontario bar sucne. Unfortunately the band was forced to change their name due to a dispute with an American band of

probably the most appealing aspect because -of the unfortunate selfrighteous, egotistical attitudes among many rappers. But on the other hand, HCG have the cool mixes ofDJ Moves (Brian Higgins), and intelligent rap lyrics of both Derek Mackenzie and Cheklove Shakil (Gory Bowles) who take the attitude to just make good music. This is obvious on the first listen of Kicking off with a short intro including an allusion to smoking pot, a whole lot of scratching and some dubbed in noises and voices is a pretty good lead into “Rugged Operator.” What is great about this tune are the cool dubs that DJ Moves incorporates with otherwise pretty familiar rap beats. Showing their East Coast influence on the “Bay Oh Fun-Day” is a fun upbeat mix. “Shure Shots” is a definite highlight but my fav is the hook filled “Trip to Reality” which kicks off with a Jimi Hendrix dub in and undoubtedly talks about drug trips. “Phat Mad Flow” takes a different

approach rapping to the melody of Steve Miller’s “Wild Mountain Honey. ” “Jizz” talks about exactly that. A humourous rap about sex I guess is pretty much in order for any rap record, but in this case “.. .just because I forgot my dome/ sheslapped me in my face and went home/ and left me to jizz on my own...oh well!” It’s this self-depreciation that is so lovable about these guys, although they present themselveswith the opportunity to stroke their egos, they have come to realize what so few rappers have: modesty. For those unfamiliar with the exploded Halifax music scene in which Sloan, Jale, Eric’s Trip, and Thrush Hermit have all garnered tremendous successin Canada over the pasttwo years. Hip Club Groove is one more group that is sure to follow in these footsteps once their recognition and music becomes more widespread. For a first release, I can’t wait for their first full-lengther. This is an EP people will talk about, once they get their hands on it.

the same name. Rumour has it that they were physically threatened by a California glam-punk band over the rights to the name. Taking the name Treble Charger, they proved that they have retained a sense of humour about the whole thing, aptly titling the new releaseNCl7. History aside, Treble Charger’s NC1 7 is unassuming at best. The most shocking thing about Treble Charger’s indie release is h&w different the lead off track is from the rest of the album. The catchy first single “Red” is a far cry from what the rest of NC17 has to offer. The majority of the songs have an early R.E.M. feel to them, that flows quite well. Check out the fine new single “10th Grade Love.” The resemblance is strongest in the mumbled and mostly indecipherable lyrics.

The vocalist sounds like someone with their nuts stuck in a vice or that guy from They Might Be Giants, but the Neil Young style guitars set the bands worlds apart. NC1 7 is a little jumbled in parts, and has its fair share of meandering that lead the listener astray, but when it stays on track it can be an enjoyable listen. Treble Charger, the CF’NY darling and second place (we’ll give you $25,000 for coming in second just because we like you) winner, has produced an album of spotty yet delightful musical twists and turns. For the most part you won’t be humming along to these songs, but they are easily likeable, although somewhat dry. Though in need of some embellishment, NC17 is a undeniably substantial offering without fluff. Heralded as an emerging talent in the Southern Ontario music scene,this hype could easily be true with more songs like “In Your Way,f’ “Trinity Bellwoods,” and the aforementioned “Red” to bolster this album. Overall NC1 7 is a little drawn out and a tad boring. Just another example of Canadian Content mediocrity? No really, Treble Charger shows some promise. Lets just hope that they continue to evolve for their next album.

Toronto tio Grasshopper come off as a raw, raging fury of guitar and banshee like vocals. The independent releaseS’ere0 Visim showcases the purely rough energy of this up and coming act. Lead singer Derek Madison presents aunique vocal quality that, like Neil Young or Leonard Cohen, can be placed in the love it or hate it category. Whether it’s cranking out the heavy sonic assaults of “Supervillain”and “Chocolatemilk” of playing out the melow acoustic side on “Roofofmymouth” Stereo Vision is an auditory joy. The intensity of Grasshopper can be likened to say, Pearl Jam or Soundgarden gone haywire, while the sound gives a more resounding

tion” or “Sit Down” would blow right past them. These types like simple and straightforward tunes, and would expect just that in a new Jamesalbum. Well, if they do, they’ll be surprised, becausethis is a world away hrn Laid, miles displaced from any sort of simple pop tune. Recorded simultaneous to the sessions that produced Laid, Wah Wuh is the product of late nights spent jamming in the studio, drifting about from song idea to song idea, stumbling upon cohesion here and there. On paper it sounds like an idea worthy of Jethro Tull or something, but in practice it actually works pretty well. Within its twenty- three tracks, Wah Wah meanders about with drum machines,organs, sythesizers, and lots of hollow reverb and what not on Tim Booth’s vocals, which generally come out as profoundsounding gobbldy-gook. It’s not particularily engaging listening, but instead forms an excellent soundtrack to whatever might be occupying your time while it’s on, And, once you’ve played it a number of times, bits and pieces of the whole start to stick in your head, like “Frequency Dip” or the building majesty of “Say Say Something.” Of course,there being no bangon single to shift units, it will and is selling just like all their other British contemporaries over here: okay, but not great, a joy and curio to fans, and a mere blip on the map to everyone else. If you’re in the former catagory, buy this, light some candles and...enjoy .

nod towards the music of Dinosaur Jr.. The tough power rock that Grasshopper plays teeters precariously on the edge of ear splitting. Catchy hooks are substituted intermittently for straight guitar feedback, a move that achieves mixed results. At seventy-six minutes in length,&reo Vision offers up more than enough bare bones guitar noise to satisfy any heavy rock fan. A few more quiet numbers like “Roof ofmymouth” to break up the onslaught would have been nice. While quite competent at making noisy guitar rock, this one acoustic number points in a promising direction that needs to be explored. Through the unpolished lens 0 fSb3-eo Vision, Graz5shwpper shows that they have the basic tools. A little more honing and the boys just may nail it on the head.Stereo Vi&n provides a solid base for this energetic group of lads to start their musical climb.

IMPRINT,

music. Very Dylan-esque indeed. (Possibly the male counterpart to Victoria Williams.) The EP rounds out 19 minutes and encaptures you in a world of lost love, rejection, and on a hap-

pier note, hope. But how does one approach this music? Unfortunately, some will pass this over as folk twang that has little relevance. Its relevance is that it isn’t perfect; the singing really isn’t that great, anyone with limited guitar experience could play the music, and the lyrics &simple and repetitive. Basically Joe Lunchbox could play the songs, but I’m afraid they wouldn’t be pulled off with the perfection that PalI ace Songs -does. These are tailored sounds. The deadpan, slow, raspy, warbling voice casts out honest, depressing poetry wretching out enough emotion to give one the blues. It is a haunting yet intriguing sound that will ripple its way into your heart. So if it is perfection that you’re looking for, keep buying into the big budget bands that spend literally years perfecting the sound of their recordings. Not often will you get the honesty and emotional low that you can experience with Hope.

her voice, but the only way to truly understand what is meant by the word ‘beauty’ is to hear her voice. That said, the tribute album isn’t bad. Shonen Knife do a happy little version of “Top of the World.” Johnette Napolitano (of Concrete Blonde) does an adequate version of “Hurting Each Other “with Marc Moreland. Now, for four ofthe most beautifid songs ever recorded. Sonic Youth does “Superstar,” with Thurston Moore on vocals. It’s a long way from the original. With lots of weird futuristic sound effects side by side with a piano and a fuzzed-up electric guitar, it’s haunting, yet intriguing. I like it, but it’s just not the tragic lovesong it was supposed to be. The Cranberries do “Close to You, ” although Dolores O’Riordan has a beaufitil voice, it’s not the strong-and-pure-and-moving beautiful type, like Karen has. I think their version lacks a certain something. I can’t put my finger on it, it just doesn’t move me like a Carpenters’ song should. Grant Lee Buffalo does the immortal “We’ve Only Just Be-

gun.” Out of the these four Carpenters songs, this one is the closest to the original, both in sound andemotion. Grant Lee Buffalo have done a good job. A track that I really liked was “Solitaire,” performed by Sheryl Crow. This was one of the few tracks on the album where I had not heard the original before I heard the cover. I had never heard of Sheryl Crow before this, but have since been informed that she is supposed to be up-and-coming. All in all, this is 3 good album. If you are a true Carpenters fan like I am, you won’t love any of the songs, because they pale in comparison to the originals (you can’t hope to do better than perfect), but you will probably like a lot of them. It’s definitely interesting to hear the Carpenters songs done with male vocals, such as Mathew Sweet, who does “Let Me Be The One” in fine ‘grunge’ style. If you’re only discovering the Carpenters through this tape, my advice to you is enjoy it, but the originals are better. And if you’re one of those people that cries every-time you hear Karen sing Superstar,you’re not alone.

Jim Currie is a singer/songwriter hailing from Vancouver. There are 13 tracks on this CD, ergo the title “Thirteen”. However; I think it should be titled Nada because that is the number of tracks that impress me. The biggest problem with this album is the pretentiousness of the artist. It’s quite obvious that this is meant to be some sort of concept album. He makes sure to credit himself with album concept to make sure his message gets across. To add tirther to the.nauseaMr. Currie

Maybe he feels his listeners cannot decipher his ever-so cryptic title. Maybe he feels that his listeners cannot open the insert to read his lyrics. Maybe he is a pretentious buffoon. Now to the music itself: mediocre at best. Mr. BY While Currie proves himself a capable and well-rounded musician (he credits himself with vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards and percussion), the music is very bland. There are no hooks to keep the song in your head. I found myself tap-

manages to write all his songs in the first person. Thus most lines in most songs start with “I’m gonna” or “I’ll do this”. It would be nice if Mr. Currie could figure out how to use metaphor in his lyrics to at least give them some variety. This leads back to my pet-peeve about his songs’ comments. If every song is easy to understand because his lyrics are so straightforward, then there is no need to include those idiotic comments.

IfZ Were a Carpenter is a compilation of Carpenters Songs, performed by famous and not-so-famous bands. For those uncultured louts out there, the Carpenters were a supergroup of the seventies, comprised of Richard Carpenter on piano, keyboards and occasionally backing vocals (he also did most of the writing) and his beautiful twoyears-younger sister, Karen. Karen died tragically of complications arising from anorexia in I48 1, but not before the Carpenters had had numerous number ones in North America, England, Japan and around the world. Perhaps best known for “We’ve only just begun” (which was originally a bank commercial) the Carpenters will always be remembered for Karen’s vocals.

is musically well performed however it still sounds like something you might hear at summer camp. Like many struggling new musicians Moon recorded this with a budget in mind. To avoid the cost of a studio recording, equipment was rented, set up and taken down for two months while recording in a local church. After many headaches and hassles the end product is music with a sound that reflects the image of a country church. Jacob Moon is big on solo guitar with minimum effects. This simplistic approach compliments his lyrical style. In general, the songs are simple and slow, the content of many of them being past relationships. Moon’s attempt at serious introspection comes out swimming in the shallow end. Infact he undermines his own music with lyrics such as “Lord, My mind went a Radical Sabbatical, man”, from “Falling,” another song about a girl. Not all the songs are this ridiculous but his amateur style is apparent. Moon is in the process of developing as a songwriter and musician. Playing the local area and continuing to write new music can only work to improve Moon’s music. Overall this record is likely an attempt to move to a higher level with his work. Unfortunately,

The birth of rock and roll in England was a significantly different phenomenon to the situation across the Atlantic. In America it was the f&ion and mixture of different indiginous musical styles (country and westem, rhythm and blues, gospel) that formed something influenced by all of these, but not quite sounding like any of them. It was completely new; they had no sort of roadmap before them as to how the sound would progress, how songs would be written, etc. Go over to Britain and the situation was entirely different. It took until the late 50’s for young British kids to start thinking of imitating the imports they heard from the U.S. There popular music was more folky,

and a sort of fast acoustic guitar genre of

music called skiffle was selling lots of records. Rock and roll wasn’t something that was sprung from indiginous musical styles, but rather it was a sort of second generation affair, with British artists using the groundwork laid by Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard et.al, to create something new again. This is exactly what the listener will hear on the “new” Beatles album you’ve all undoubtedly heard tons about. Live a# the BBC is a sort of Peel Sessions of the sixties, with the entire double CD set made up of recordings from various shows broadcast in England between 1962 and 1965. It shows the band, and by implication Brit pop, at a crossroads of slarts. A lot of the tracks on here imitate the Ameriare covers that ; faithfully can originals (“Roll Over Beethoven,” “That’s All R i g h t (Mama),” Buddy Holly’s “Crying, Waiting, Hoping,” “Sweet Little Sixt e e n , m “Lucille” and so forth), and

many more are originals that take these roots and work them into that Merseybeat sound. This album is the sound of English rock and roll finding its feet. if you look at the above comments, you

will notice that the emphasis is on the historical importance of the BeatIes. That, then, is what in essence this collection is all about -history. It’s like a document detailing the birth of the Beatles’ sound, rather than an album of any coherence or repeated listenability. I mean the album has$$pseven songs over two disks, all of which sound (let’s face it} quite abit similar to one another. Not only that but the tracks bump right into one another, with only half a second in between any two of them. All of this combines to make it into more of a museum piece than anything else. This is not to say that’s it’s really bad; it is still the Beatles after all, and much of their early charm asa band and as musicians comes shining through. John’s the more passionate one, with that ragged voice already well developed on songs like “Hippy Hippy Shake” and “You Really Got a Hold On Me.” The more schmaltzy Paul nevertheless fills in as a pop anchor for the band, even if he does do a rather bad version of Elvis’ “That’s All Right (Mama).” Taken in small doses it’s quite good, but listening to it for the long haul is taxing at best. The bare bones crux of the matter is that, if you don’t own thoseepochal original albums, buy them first, because for the music and for the p&e this

is really a collectors-only purchase. And for fans who might already own some of this on bootlegs, this should be approached with caution. They were much better on drugs anyway.
